In this episode, I wanted to share my intentions with this community and how I want to show up going forward. This last lunar eclipse was a doozy. It really illuminated my limiting beliefs about myself and fears that have been simmering in my subconscious. Doing shadow work and going inward can be a very lonely place. It's not for the faint of heart. This is why it's so important to me to remind you that you're not alone. Going through more difficult times in our lives is divinely orchestrated by our Higher Selves and our Spiritual team - I truly believe we are divinely protected and guided. I go more in-depth about this in the episode so hopefully, you'll meet me there. In This Episode:

And, she started to lose control over her true destiny. So after years of climbing the corporate ladder in one of the most iconic cities in the world - New York City, and even working with some A-list celebrities, she quit everything in the summer of 2019 to pursue a new chapter aligned with her authentic self and vowed to chase every one of her dreams, not bound by any other factor besides her inner compass. This journey led her to move to Europe to fulfill one of her biggest (and a 20 year) dreams and to have more meaning in her work by inspiring men and women to always live fully in the present and always on their own terms. This new life mission led her to launch P.S. Younger Self, a platform and community to share wisdom from inspirational entrepreneurs, life coaches, creatives and thought leaders from around the world to help more people crush their fears and optimize their lifestyles to live a life without regrets.
