Following a social media trend, on December 31st, 2023 I posted a list of my “ins” and “outs” for 2024. In this episode, I look back and see how that list influenced my year. I explore how a commitment to a mindful morning routine, including gratitude journaling and mindfulness practices, has transformed my mindset and daily life. The pursuit of honesty has also led to significant decisions, such as discontinuing my Coaching services to align my business with genuine intentions rather than trends. These reflections highlight the importance of personal Growth in fostering both personal and systemic change.

This episode also examines sustainable financial and fashion choices, encouraging a shift towards ethical banking and responsible investment practices. Check out the BankingForGood site mentioned. By aligning financial activities with personal values, we can support a sustainable future. I share my experience of reducing fast fashion consumption through the rule of five challenge, where I committed to purchasing only five new clothing items a year. Conversations with experts like Emily Fenves and Amanda McCarty provided valuable insights into sustainable alternatives, prompting a reevaluation of consumption habits and their impact on the environment.

In addition, I discuss the power of radical imagination in combating climate doomism and nurturing hope for a better future. Emphasizing the importance of authentic self-expression, I share personal victories, such as successfully nurturing houseplants and resisting toxic positivity. Finally, I reflect on my passion for podcasting and the importance of building a community. I’m excited to continue exploring the interconnectedness of personal growth, environmental sustainability, and community building.

As I stumbled through the perils of answering the ultimate question, "what do you want to do with your life?" I knew somehow my answer would incorporate helping others. This translated into paths that, when I tuned into the universe, I realized were very connected. (Funny how that always happens!)

People are complicated, messy, and layered with identities. So is this space. I am a meditation enthusiast that sits in quietness every morning and a lover of blasting 90's hip-hop at full volume. I'm a gym rat and a yoga instructor. I am both learner and a teacher. We are all many things. Together we can make them all work.

I love to share all the things I'm learning along the way. Learning how to be your most fabulous self but being honest about how damn hard and messy it can be along the way lets you speak your truth. It allows you to best use your voice for the causes that matter to you. Let's get healthy and change the world together!
