The mantra keeps playing in my mind. Success means nothing if you are miserable. There was a time in my life where I could easily write off misery for the fake glimmer of success. It took me a few years and a major career milestone to realize I couldn’t keep pouring all of my discontent into my career like a recycling factory and refurbish trash into something that would make me happy. The raises,...

People always ask me “How do you do it all?” and most days I feel that imposter syndrome creep in, like I am not doing nearly enough. ***But then I remember I am not meant to do it all, but I am being, and I happen to also get a lot done at the same time.*** So … how can I leverage this efficiency for my benefit, maybe it really is who I am, a gift really? Let me teach you my ways of how I get $hi...

In this episode I answer a listener question about what to do when it feels like someone is trying to steal your sparkle. I offer three approaches that can be leveraged together. These approaches are not exactly what you would expect, and require a hard look back in the mirror at yourself. It is true that sometimes people are acting in a way that isn't for your highest and best, but often we have...

My mom didn't always have the l...

In this episode I discuss the realities of gardening and how sometimes the thing you are depending on blooming, just doesn't. When you put a lot of effort into a hobby and it brings you so much joy, satisfaction and purpose, you really do get sad when it doesn't work out the way you imagined. When you are consumed with something going wrong, you miss the beauty that is right in front of you. I als...

In this episode I discussed the feeling of being separate when it came to shopping in the plus size section growing up. Clothing size inclusivity has come a long way, but it wasn't always this way. I tell the story how I realized that shopping for clothes or anything was a way that I soothed myself when I felt discomfort, however the shopping experience made me feel pretty bad too. The coping mech...

In this episode I detail all of the interesting ways I have tried to control nature (among other things), including using milk to save my flowers. I also discuss the journey I've been on learning to relax control and actually let my mind rest. It hasn't always been easy, but it has been worth it. Though the myth of control sure had its hold on me for a long time, I am now more aware of it so I can...

In this episode I discuss how I was saving the name Soulbloom for something perfect. I was hesitant to use it because I knew it was so special. It made me think of so many times that I have waited to use something nice or for the perfect moment, and how special things lost their luster. I also discuss the emotions this brings up when you lose a loved one and sift through what they may have been sa...

In this brief solo episode I discuss the magic of spring flowers, daffodils, and how their appearance surprises me and amazes me each year.

Ultimately, the resilience and cycles of nature contain so much wisdom for our own journeys, if we pay attention. How can you notice your own seasons, what's...
