SURPRISE! Welcome to this BONUS episode of The Living Courageously Podcast - a REPLAY from being a guest on,  "Being All of You Podcast" with Haylee LaRose.

Our conversation was one of those moments where I felt so deeply connected to this community, to this work, to the deep intention that is embedded in all that I do to create a sense of community, belonging, purposes and being seen and heard.

This conversation really moved trough all of that, but from such a different vantage point than what you're used to hearing on this podcast as it's from someone else asking me questions that then brought out different and new information within my soul.

We connect on :

• A powerful question you can ask yourself to break out of your habitual thought patterns and routine and open yourself up to living into different realities
• A bit of advice for putting your new awareness and choices into daily action
• How to cultivate a deeper relationship with your heart and live from a more authentic place that aligns with your higher vision
• What we’re risking by not asking ourselves the opposing questions and how to tap into your courage alongside your fear to continue growing

[BONUS] Episode 62  - The Magic of Living A Courageous and Curious Life : REPLAY from Finding Flow State Podcast with Steph Ellen

Have you ever heard yourself speak, share, talk, reflect on something and have it reflected back to you?

And it quite stopped you in your tracks?

Recently I had the most incredible honor of being interviewed by women named Steph with the Finding Flow State Podcast. When the episode was released out into the world and I began to listen to it, tears literally filled my eyes.

With the incredible connection, synergy and her powerful questions, she was able to pull out - knowings deep inside my heart and my soul and ultimately the heartbeat of my soul to truly be able to express ME, this version of me. This today, grown, expanded, courageous version of me.

She has given me the incredible permission and honor of having it as a BONUS episode here on The Living Courageously Podcast!

We talk about the courageous decision to do nothing, the sabbatical that I took when I was really birthing and expanding this new arm and leg of my business, what it means to be courageous and live courageously, and to really tune into the voices, knowing and stirrings of the heart.
