Before you close this chapter, I want to leave you with one final reminder: This challenge was born from one of the greatest losses of my life. When my mom passed away last year, I had a choice. I could allow my pain to become the end of my story. Or I could allow itContinue reading “Day 21: Beyond the Finish Line”

One of the greatest privileges of this challenge has been introducing you to people who have transformed their deepest pain into purpose. I’m honored to welcome my special guest, Kristina Mira, who courageously shares one of the most painful chapters of her life, the decision to leave her husband and walk away from the lifeContinue reading “Day 20: Courage Equals Transformation”

Over the last 18 days, we’ve discovered that emotions are meant to move through us. Today, I want to introduce a concept that explains why emotional pain can feel so overwhelming. It’s called compound emotions. When something happens to you, your body has an original response. If you allow yourself to fully feel this emotion,Continue reading “Day 19: Compound Emotions”

Today, we’re going to look at one of the most subtle codes we carry. The need to be right. When we first look at the need to be right, it doesn’t seem like a problem. After all, who doesn’t want to be right? But if we look beneath the surface, we discover something much deeper.Continue reading “Day 18: Would You Rather Be Right… or Free?”

Today, we’re going to explore another powerful code to rewire: The ability to hold both success and failure at the same time. Many of us have subconsciously tied our worth to an outcome.  This sounds like:  If I succeed, I’m worthy. If I fail, I’m not. If it works, I’m good enough. If it doesn’t,Continue reading “Day 17: Holding the Duality of Success and Failure”

One of the things people often say they want is more confidence. But what if confidence isn’t something you’re born with? What if confidence is something you build? Today, we’re going to explore the two ways confidence is developed: Confidence through evidence and confidence through capacity. Listen to Day 16 to learn more: If youContinue reading “Day 16: How We Become Confident”

Today, we’re going to talk about something that surprises many people: Why do we hold back from fully receiving joy? Are You Afraid of Joy? Most people would say no. “Of course I want joy.” “Of course I want love.” “Of course I want abundance.” But let’s look a little deeper. Are you actually afraidContinue reading “Day 15: Why Do We Fear the Good Things?”

Today, we’re going to challenge one of the deepest pieces of coding many people carry: The belief that worthiness is something you earn. Because if there’s one thing I hope you take away from today’s lesson, it’s this: There is nothing you can do to become worthy. And there is nothing you can do toContinue reading “Day 14: There Is Nothing You Can Do to Become Unworthy “

Understanding your coding is one thing. Questioning it is where your freedom begins. You can read all the books. Take all the courses. Listen to all the podcasts. Attend all the workshops. But if you don’t allow yourself to feel, you’ll continue operating from the same code.  The coding says: “Don’t do the thing becauseContinue reading “Day 13: Do What Matters”

A Special Conversation with Melissa MacIsaac of The Healing Knit Society Over the last 11 days, we’ve been exploring the relationship between our emotions, our nervous system, and the stories we carry within us. We’ve talked about grief. We’ve talked about pain. We’ve talked about the emotions we try so hard to avoid. And today,Continue reading “Day 12: Healing Through Grief, Presence, and Simple Movements”
