Connect Back In

I wonder who we could truly be if we didn't need to look for the approval of other's first? In today's episode, I talk about the wide spread epidemic of people pleasing, and how it started way back when we were too little to even realize. This need ultimately has the power to hold us back from our true potential, that is only if we let it. I dive into why we need to look within for what is right f...

As a follow up from my last episode which was focused all around 2021 goal setting, and more about who you're being vs. what you're doing, I wanted to remind you that when it comes to your life, you cannot live it wrong. There is no 'right way', and often times when we set out on accomplishing our New Years resolutions, there is a chance we might fall of the wagon after a few weeks. I'm here to sa...

As we wind down 2020, I wanted to share with you a process that I started using that allows me to reflect on the past year, and then prepare for the months ahead. In previous years, my 'goal setting' process was one that resembles following the 'S.M.A.R.T.' route, and tying strategies and tactics to those goals in order to help me get 'there' (to achievement) as fast as humanly possible. Now, sinc...

For those of you who may not know, my other passion in life beyond this Podcast is my Real Estate Business. Since starting out on my own almost three years ago, I have learned more than I ever thought about myself, business, and just life in general. In this episode, I talk about my top five lessons, and although I did learn them from my business, they have been applicable to all areas of my life....

If I had to pull together one common theme of this podcast, it really does support the title, which represents connecting back in to who you really are. Because when you do that, you can see that we'll never have all the answers, but finding inner peace with who we are, can guide us in the direction that will bring us the most joy. To elaborate more on this idea, I've brought in a special guest an...

On the latest episode of CBI, I had the pleasure of connecting with my friend and soul + business coach, Randi Halaway. One of the topics we discuss, and one she focuses on in her coaching, is how we access our inner being to get all questions answered. We often look to others, society, our family, etc. to guide us towards the 'right' path, when where we need to look is within. Nothing outside our...

If you would've asked me a few years back on if I would ever hire a coach, I would flat out say no. I was a DIY-er in all aspects of my life, and I also thought it was honorable to take the hard way, and figure it out on my own. This is until I met Megan Ladd, a Burnout Coach for female entrepreneurs. After starting off as friends, we would connect on ways to align her messaging to speak to her ta...

Going to be honest here and say I have recorded about four episodes in the past few weeks, but they just didn't feel right. I feel blessed that I normally press record, and the message I am wanting to convey just comes through me. However, these past few times, it felt forced, and not real, and being real and natural is such a priority for me in these recordings. Then I remembered the power I hold...

Have you ever felt off? I'm going to go with the idea that most of you would respond 'yes' to this question. Especially during this time, we have less distractions around us, so there is more space for things to come up in our day to day lives that may need to be felt. I think it is certainly important to feel our feelings, no matter if they are defined as good or bad, however, sometimes you're ju...

I am beyond excited to share with you the latest episode of Connect Back In where I interview the wonderful Karissa Kouchis, better known as KK! She is a national speaker, corporate trainer, host, entertainment personality and performance strategist with the Tony Robbins companies.  She’s brought her high-energy training to over 1,000 events for companies like Fox Sports, Salesforce.com, The NFL,...

Everything is energy, literally everything. This statement must resonate somewhere from within, or perhaps this is something you believe with all of your being. Whatever the case, I had the honor of interviewing Lisa Russell, the founder of 'Live More Realized', and in this episode, we talk the importance of energy, and how you can get yourself aligned to all the things you desire in life. She als...

In this episode, I’m talking about the stories we unconsciously tell ourselves every single day, and how those stories quietly shape the way we experience our lives. For so long, I believed every thought in my mind was simply “the truth.” I didn’t realize that many of the beliefs I carried about myself, my worth, my capabilities, and my life were actually learned stories I had repeated so often th...

I originally titled this episode, "Grieving the Loss of a Loved One", but was then reminded that we don't lose those who have taken on another form. If we lost them, we would continue searching for them and never find them. This thought in itself is not helpful in any way. Instead, they morph into another version of themselves, sometimes referred to as 'crossing'. This allows you to redefine what...

In today's episode, we dive deep into the mother load, and what I believe is the mecca of all self development, self love. But wait, what does this mean? How do I know if I love myself? What behaviors are representative of this? We talk this, and more along with the story of how Beatrice went from being at the mercy of pleasing others, to then completely stripping that away to unmask her true iden...

We've all heard how important morning routines are, and on this episode I talk to you about why I think they are so crucial to add into our daily habits. For me, adding a morning routine has changed the way in which I go about my day dramatically. Listen in for the reasons why morning routines are so important, what my routine looks like, and why (per the usual) you need to create one that works b...

‘We are always getting ready to live but never living.’ –Ralph Waldo Emerson Ask yourself, are you rushing your way through life? If yes, have you ever wondered why you're rushing? What are you risking by pushing through the to do list that life demands day in and day out? In this episode, I discuss why we rush, where it comes from, what we risk when rushing, and how to move towards a slower way o...

Two very important things that can directly impact the decisions that we ultimately make for ourselves in our own lives are our relationships and how we allow what others think (their opinions/beliefs) into our sphere. To me, these two things share great insight into how we feel about ourselves. In this episode, I'll share with you some ways in which you can not only improve your relationships by...

"I'm not where I should be"   Haven't we all felt this at one time or another? It is an unfortunate emotion that can creep into our lives from time to time. Often accompanied by comparison, where we're seeing others live out a life that we assume 'should' be the path that we're on. Listen in as I reaffirm to you that you are always exactly where you should be, you're on track, you haven't missed t...

If you've been listening for awhile,  you may have noticed a soft re-brand from "The La Jolla Local" to the new! "Connect Back In" podcast. After some internal discovery over the past few months, I recognized that this podcast needed a change in order to be more aligned with what I am wanting to share. Listen in for why I decided to re-brand, and for a bit more on what you can anticipate in the co...

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about manifestation, trust, and what unfolded after holding onto a vision for over two years. I recently manifested a new home - something that at times felt far away, uncertain, and impossible to fully predict how it would happen. And yet, through all the ups and downs, I kept coming back to the feeling that what was meant for me was already making it...

In this episode, I’m sharing a more honest and vulnerable conversation around emotions, overwhelm, and giving yourself permission to simply be where you are. There are seasons in life where motivation feels low, creativity feels harder to access, and everything inside of us wants to slow down. Instead of pushing past those feelings or trying to “fix” them immediately, what if part of healing is al...

In this episode, I’m talking about perspective, uncertainty, and the power we still hold even during difficult or unexpected seasons of life. There are moments where life changes in ways we never could have planned for. In those moments, it’s easy to become consumed by fear, frustration, or the need to control what happens next, but over time, I’ve learned that while we cannot always control our c...

In this episode, I’m guiding you through a calming meditation practice designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and feel more grounded during uncertain or overwhelming moments. When life feels noisy, stressful, or emotionally heavy, it can be easy to get pulled into fear, overthinking, and tension. This meditation is an opportunity to pause, breathe, and return back to the present...

In this episode, I’m talking about worry, fear, and the importance of becoming aware of where we are placing our attention - especially during challenging or uncertain times. When life feels unpredictable, it can be easy to spiral into worst-case scenarios, overthinking, and fear about the future, but over time, I’ve learned that while difficult thoughts may arise automatically, we still have the...

In this episode, I’m sharing the heart and intention behind Connect Back In - and why creating spaces for people to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves feels more important now than ever. So many of us have become conditioned to live under constant pressure, urgency, productivity, and overstimulation. Over time, we disconnect from ourselves without even realizing it. We keep pushing,...
