In this solo episode I'm sharing three ideas that I keep coming back to: breaking old identities, taking courageous action, and choosing certainty over logic. I also share some of my favorite stories about divine timing, including how getting lost in Orlando after missing a person I drove hours to see ended up changing the entire direction of my life, how missing a train by two minutes may have saved me from a derailment, and what happened the night I paid for a stranger's first date after losing my dad. This one is about what it looks like to stop scanning for what's wrong and start trusting that you are always exactly where you are supposed to be. • Ready to stop holding back?

Human beings hold on sometimes and contain ourself, when really what feels like pain is actually asking for you to expand. You could save a lot of money at Sephora if you decide that you have the permission to do what feels good to you.
