Today’s topic is something I think we can all relate to (whether we want to or not), and that is taking accountability in our own lives. It's often something that becomes more apparent with time because as we get older, we begin to see more clearly how everything is connected and how our decisions create our outcomes. As we mature, it becomes easier to accept that we have a greater hand to play in shaping our lives than we ever felt we did when we were younger. But let's face it: it takes a c...
Content Warning: This episode has a brief mention of sexual abuse.The memories of our past are a blueprint for how we live our lives today. They give us a glimpse into who we are and often shape our choices as we move into adulthood.

Beth Jones experienced this firsthand when a hypnotherapy session bro...
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we can continue to empower ourselves and each other to get out of our own way and make the pivotal changes that we know will make our lives better.

Courage is often difficult to build, especially when change happens to us unexpectedly.

Courage is the driving force that moves you toward where you want to go in life. This week on Journeys Through Change, I am wrapping u...
Our bodies are not just vessels to carry us through life, they are reservoirs of wisdom and emotion. Every experience, every trauma, and every joy we encounter leaves its mark on our bodies. Like silent witnesses, our bodies store this energy, often manifesting as discomfort or unease when left untreated.

The topic of resiliency is one of my favorites to talk about because like it or not, it has everything to do with how we cope with our world when the ground is constantly shifting beneath our feet.

This week on Journeys Through Change, I continue my series covering the 6 pillars outlined in my Change Maker Series as I discuss becoming unstoppable by streng...
