SOUL FAM, this is big news! Whenever we find ourselves so wrapped in the things we’re trying to do, we can lose sight of the meaning of why we did it in the first place. It’s in those moments that the most important thing we can do is to take a pause, reflect, and ask powerful questions.

How am I showing up? What’s keeping me from being the realest version of myself? What do I really want and who do I get to become in the process of it all?

This is at the heart of what I’m sharing today on the podcast. It’s an emotional 30-minute solo episode fueled by a recent epiphany after six months of struggle. I get real about the epiphany, the expansiveness I’m being called into, and why I’m embracing the power of the pause. 

What I’m talkin’ about:

• Embracing “PAUSibility”and what that means 
• How being success-FULL is a continuous process
• What if, like Bowie, we all showed up as the iconic brands we are? 
• Challenging questions to push your growth edges in 2022
• Big news about what I’m stepping into this year!

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2022, the year of the REBELution! This is the year that we’re rebelling for rewriting our own script of success. The last two years have been a total shit show and now it’s time to take what we’ve learned as an opportunity to get clear on what matters most!

I wanted to start this year with a conversation about HOPE. Now I’m not talking about what the movies tell us or even what the dictionaries have to say about it. My dear friend Catherine Hammond is here to flip the entire meaning of hope on its head and serve us up a fresh perspective. She even challenges how Brené Brown (GASP!) explains hope in her new book Atlas of the Heart.

Catherine is an award-winning estate planning attorney, public speaker, author, and life transition guide. As an attorney, she helps people plan for and walk through difficult seasons in life, including chronic illness, disability and death. As a transformational coach, she leads people into living more fully, bravely, and beautifully. The heart-wrenching experience of her mother’s journey with Alzheimer’s Disease, beginning when Catherine was still a teenager, inspired her to spend her life helping others navigate life’s challenges. Catherine is currently writing her second book entitled Hope(less).

What We’re Talkin’ About:

• The truth about hope (and why it’s not circumstantial or cognitive) 
• How to identify what disconnects us from hope (and what to do about it)
• Hope vs. Optimism 
• Tools that connect us to our inner wellspring of hope
• What it means to live a zero regrets life - on your terms
