In Memory of David Freyhof ❤

This is the hardest episode I've ever recorded, but it's deeply important to me to show up for you authentically. Usually, that's as the "happiness and joy" podcaster, but I now also need to honor when I'm in a season that's heavy and grief-filled.
Because I'm learning that joy and grief are two sides of the same coin, and they're both part of our human experience. So I'm going to hold space within me, and here on the podcast, for both.
So it's in David's memory, and to honor all that he taught me, that I record this episode for him, for me, and for you today.
I'm still deeply in this season of grief, but there are beautiful things I learned from David that I feel are important to share. Things like embracing the current moment, enjoying the simple pleasures of life, and how we're all capable of sharing love.
If after listening, you too want to support David's Memorial Fund at the Naples Zoo, you're welcome to do so at https://www.napleszoo.org/donate with a note that it's "In memory of David Freyhof."
With infinite love, I bring this episode to you, friend.

Mini Meditation: Don’t Change Yourself to Make Others Happy - Inspired by @marcandangel
Earlier this week we connected with Talia Joy of the Awakening Her Podcast, and we shared a conversation all about manifestation, the law of attraction, and what it’s like to experience this world as an empath or as a highly sensitive person.
One of my takeaways from our conversations was feeling empowered. Empowered to fully step into myself, and what I might have once seen as a quirk before, I now know is part of me being, and I’m learning to embrace being a highly sensitive person. There’s a freedom in no longer apologizing for what makes you different, and instead celebrating it within myself.
And it’s my hope that today’s meditation, which is inspired by an Instagram post I saw from @marcandangel, gives you some of that freedom and permission to love yourself just as you are too.

How the Goldilocks Rule Relates to Motivation – Inspired by Atomic Habits
Today I’m diving into one of my favorite books, Atomic Habits by James Clear! I have a ridiculous amount of takeaways from this book - the whole thing is underlined, dog-eared, and annotated...my grandma (who reveres books!) would be a little aghast at how marked up this book is, but I think it’s just a testament to how much I’ve learned! 😉
One of my favorite takeaways from Atomic Habits is the Goldilocks Rule, which tells us that humans experience peak motivation when working on tasks that are right on the edge of our current abilities. So it’s not too easy, not too hard, but just right (just like Goldilocks!).
So if you have found yourself:
🌟 lacking motivation
🌟 feeling stuck in pursuit of your goals
🌟 losing steam
🌟 having a hard time showing up for yourself
...then today’s episode was recorded just for you, friend. I found James’ insights to be super encouraging, inspiring, and most importantly, actionable. So tune in today if you too are ready to pursue goals of just manageable difficulty in order to create and sustain motivation!
