143: Learning how-to TRUST YOURSELF

6/18/2025
"The life you have lived doesn't have to be the only life you will ever live." — Viktor E. Frankl Thank you for being a part of this historic Catalyst mini-sode, where we are recording outdoors! In this mini-sode, surrounded by lake and birds, I share a glimpse into my year-long sabbatical and how I learned to trust myself and pivot in my career.

142: The importance of EMOTIONAL SAFETY

6/11/2025
"If you are not seen and heard as a child, then you spend your whole life trying to find that." — Oprah Winfrey In this mini-sode, I share my process of journaling and the difference between my first childhood journal to my second - a process of cultivating emotional safety within myself, by myself. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or simply someone healing from childhood emotional trauma, this conversation opens the door to creating emotional safety and offering a safe space for kids to fully express who they are. I share reflective journaling prompts, the truth behind vulnerable journaling, and why silence before safety is a pattern worth breaking.

141: Navigating my life of TRANSITION

6/4/2025
"The only journey is the one within." — Rainer Maria Rilke We've been fed a lie: that happiness lies in the next achievement. But what if the in-between is where the true magic happens? In this mini-sode, I share my journey of navigating life transitions, from being born a month early to growing up between cultures, cities, and identities. I reflect on my lifelong practice of journaling for self-discovery, reconnecting with my inner child, and developing emotional resilience tools through the often messy, uncertain, but transformational in-between seasons of life.
