Provoking Possibilities

This week I'm joined by my incredible friend and client, Kara Joshi, a beacon of strength and compassion, who's going to take us on a heartfelt journey of supporting loved ones through addiction while also tending to our own well-being. Kara's story is a shining example of resilience, and today, we're diving deep into the art of finding that delicate balance in life. Yes, we're tackling a tough topic, addiction, but I promise this episode is all about hope, love, and self-care!

In this touching conversation, Kara and I chat about her experience with having a loved one with addiction issues, and how she has reevaluated how she shows up for others and for herself with deep self-love and forgiveness.

Kara opens up about her personal journey, showing us the incredible power of shedding negative thought patterns and embracing daily practices that bring healing and positivity into our lives. It's nothing short of inspiring to witness her transformation, and I can't help but shower her with praise for her unwavering dedication to her healing journey!

Tune in now for a conversation filled with compassion, resilience, and advice on balancing the acts of self-love and support! 💞

In this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Lynda Sunshine West, the founder and unstoppable force behind Action Takers Publishing, as we explore the idea of using our fears as a transformative tool to unlock new possibilities!
Lynda shares how she made a life-altering decision to confront one fear every day for an entire year, leading to an astonishing revelation. What she discovered was the power of trusting her intuition and facing her fears head-on, rather than running away from them, led to so many positive outcomes.

I hope Linda's journey of personal and professional growth unveils a profound conviction that life is not about rushing- it's about giving yourself space to breathe, and make space to figure it out along the way.
