emily feikls

a long overdue reunion with emily feikls is here! (for context, emily was a co-host of this podcast when it first started, and still a very good friend!)...we talk all about:

• trusting your gut & making shifts when you feel called
• following your passions (she has a cake business now!)
• hobbies that don't have to make you money, but it's nice when they do
• setting your standards and non-negotiables, then sticking to them
• why things don't have to be "black or white" and how you make the "gray area" work
• the importance of foundation + growth seasons, and how they provide space to then step out of your comfort zone

...and so much more!

there's always another option and another way to move forward. slowing down allows us to realize that and then actively choose to redirect. in this solo, I share about recent life lessons and situations that have challenged me to check in on what's actually needed and supportive in this season of life. shifting out of a survivor mentality into a creator as I take ownership of the choices, actions, and decisions I make. expanding my zone of vision, focus, and receptivity to the unexpected magic of the unknown. 

• shifting my plans & being okay with change 
• feelings of overwhelm and "go, go, go!" mode
• slowing down to choose + act with intention 
• the power of self check-ins
• expanding your lane of focus and receptivity 
• opening up to unexpected / different views, opportunities, and choices
• connecting with your intuition 
• notes on external noise  + outward perspectives
• the fear of change 
• starting a side hustle baking cakes (!!)

As a generally indecisive person I know all too well how exhausting the mental chess game can be. Mix in the mental chatter of an ED past and suddenly every choice including food, body image, or movement becomes an entire spiral of thoughts. In this episode I not only discuss my struggles but also the work I'm now doing to recover even more.
