Finally another soulful solo! It’s been a minute… I know, I apologize. Anyway… in this episode, I approached my blue mic without a set plan, letting wherever the wind blew me guide the solo episode. It turns out my heart led me to share about how our expectations evolve and the transformative power of letting go… both of our ego and those expectations. I’ve faced this shift myself, especially with my podcast and the new path I’ve chosen to take. I dive into how I’ve had to release the financial expectations I once had for the podcast and why I’m continuing it out of pure love, rather than as a primary source of income. I also touch on the importance of recognizing when our ego clings too tightly to what no longer serves us and how letting go of these toxic expectations can create space for something even more fulfilling. Feeling truly liberated, babes!
