When you can trust in the unfolding, you know that every hardship you’re experiencing is only a hardship because it hasn’t fully blossomed into the blessing yet.
I’m super excited to release this latest reflection episode. April 2021 held a lot of teachings and because it was also the last month of my 20s, this reflection holds an extra special meaning.

This month, I’ve been learning to cultivate faith.

Sometimes, life doesn’t unfold in the way you imagine. Sometimes, projects and plans can take longer to come to fruition than you would have liked – and that can create inner friction! But when you believe that everything is happening FOR you, delays create an opening to explore uncomfortable emotions and experiences.

In the process, you grow and evolve at lightning speed!

I’m super grateful for this month. April has given me the circumstances that have allowed me to experience who I am at a deeper level – and as always, I’m sharing all the juicy details with you in this week’s episode.

If you’ve listened to any of my previous monthly reflections, you’ll know that Georgina El Morshdy is here to help us navigate this conversation.

Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll hear us explore:

1. The important difference between the paths of evolution and achievement. 
2. Differentiating between the idea of you and the real you. 
3. Faith and the gift of believing everything happens FOR you. 
4. Recognizing that painful moments often deepen relationships and cultivate intimacy.
5. Cultivating the courage to ask for help from those you would normally support. 
6. What it means to ‘keep the glass clean’.
7. And more…

The universe asked me to step up in so many ways this month.

But in hindsight, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Allowing myself to see who I am at a deeper level, is an experience I’m always grateful for.

It’s my hope that by discovering my recent experiences and listening to this conversation, you’ll have more trust in the lessons life wants to teach you – however they choose to show up.

Check it out.

The more you can allow yourself to be seen, the more you heal.

For me, reflection is a practice that sparks accelerated growth. I’ve always got a journal near me because I know the value of capturing insights and deep-dives when they show up. Moving through life with this level of awareness helps me bend time around my learnings and lesson. It’s one of the reasons I can move fast, but with a level of depth that keeps me grounded.

These monthly reflection episodes are quickly becoming some of my favorite to record.

There’s power in riffing off some great questions and weaving out the narrative of my month. I benefit from this practice because it crystalizes my growth. It’s my intention that you get some benefit too by seeing behind the curtain on my life this March.

As usual, Georgina El Morshdy is here to interview me. Together, we always stir up some magic!

Georgina is great at holding space and guiding my thoughts down a path that ensure I reveal even more than I captured in my journal beforehand! This episode was no exception. There are some gold insights in this conversation and I’m so excited for you to tune in and extract some inspiration for your own journey.

Here’s a flavor of what we discuss:

1. Escaping the cage of emotional blockages.
2. Using anxiety as a north star for emotional release and deep healing.
3. The story behind my badass turquoise crystal necklace.
4. The logical reason why purpose would be a form of pleasure.
5. The unexpected role nature can play in your healing journey.
6. What becomes possible when you calibrate to truth.
7. What happens inside a sweat lodge.
8. Permission to be messy and how this infuses freedom into your life.
9. Allowing requests for support to become your superpower.
10. And more!

As Q1 comes to an end, I’m so grateful for my journey, all the experiences that have shaped me, and all the incredible people who hold space for me to continue on this path.

I’ve realized that no one needs to walk this healing path alone. You’ll find confidence and courage inside of community. It’s my hope that by sharing my inner journey, you’ll see a bit of yourself in me, and realize you’re not alone.

All the things that I love most about my life right now are things that I didn’t even know I wanted.

Turns out a lot you enjoyed the annual reflections that I published at the end of 2020. I got a lot of feedback telling me how helpful it was to see behind the curtains of someone who’s growing multiple companies while also creating growth, fulfillment, and richness in my own life.

So I decided to share my monthly reflections with you too.

I want to show you what worked and what didn’t. I’m also sharing my experiments and new discoveries as well the emotional intelligence and mindset it takes to navigate a life where you make your own rules, set your own path, and aim to win big with whatever you want for YOUR life.

As usual, I have my Message Muse – Georgina El Morshdy – here to pull out all the juicy details for your enjoyment! And we don’t hold back. This is a deep-dive conversation where we get under the skin of my most significant discoveries from January 2021.

1. Why you’re never really in control of your life – and how to navigate the chaos.
2. Dancing between masculine and feminine energies.
3. How I’m allowing my feminine energy to express.
4. What does it mean to sit with whatever life stirs up?
5. The next-level emotional mastery that comes from understanding the source of ALL your feelings.
6. Why you need to let go of the need for certainty.
7. Why you don’t need a declaration for a feeling to exist.
8. My rituals for cultivating self-love.

Most people think about purpose as this thing you want to do in the world. I think purpose is who you are.

What do you do next when you rip up the conventional rule book and create a situation where anything is possible in life?

For me, this reality themed the second half of 2020.

After my eight-year relationship ended, I felt heartbreak, shame, and fear, but there was also a sense of release and symbolism. I was free of cultural expectations, and with no roadmap, it was time to create my own.

What followed was an intense healing journey guided by mentors, various modalities, journaling, and a north star of my truth.

In this episode, my Message Muse Georgina El Morshdy guides us through my journey of becoming. In part 2 of my 2020 year-end review, I share my experiences, lessons, and learnings as I figured out how to navigate an unknown path – which ultimately led to me finding me.

The healing path I chose has been one of the most powerful, painful, and potent journeys I’ve ever experienced. Check out this episode to hear Georgina, and I explore:

1. What happened next after I decided to choose myself
2. How to lead a life guided by YOUR truth
3. Finding mentors who embodied the life I wanted for myself
4. Focusing on who I wanted to BE rather than what I wanted to HAVE or DO
5. Leaning into the potency of present moment awareness
6. Navigating the shift from external to internal validation
7. Rites of passage and transitioning from Prince to King energy
8. Who did you become this year?
9. The one thing you can do to kick-start your own healing journey
10. And more…

Looking back, 2020 has been one of the most profound years of my life. As the door on this challenging, life-changing, and beautiful year closes, I feel complete. For me, 2020 will forever symbolize a powerful rite of passage that has equipped me with everything I need to step into the next chapter – whatever that brings.

By listening to this episode, I hope you get some clarity for your own healing journey. I hope this episode inspires you to extract the beauty of your 2020 – and in the process, you get to see who you became as a result of everything you’ve lived through this year.

Choosing yourself is one of the most exhilarating, fulfilling, exhausting, intimidating, scary, and just rich journeys one can go on.

For me, December is traditionally a time of reflection and review. I love to pour over my journals and really take the time to pull out and consolidate all that I’ve learned. Looking back, 2020 has felt like a decade in itself! I’m in awe of how much can happen in a year when you live with intention, focus, and awareness.

In this episode, I’m giving you an insight into my journals by sharing all my standout growth lessons in detail.

My intention is that you can not only learn from my journey, but also get to see how preparation and certain practices can empower you to unlock your true potential.

I’ve found that radical honesty and self-awareness are key tools for growing at an exponential rate. The more you’re able to make sense of how life is unfolding for you, the easier it becomes to bend time and move forward with depth and speed.

So if you’re curious to know how you can reflect on your year to unlock your fullest potential, this episode is for you.
