What Happens When You Stop Forcing Life And Start Trusting Your Own Truth
The story starts with a countdown to the holidays and lands in a far more intimate place: that electric moment when you realize you’ve been living under the weight of invisible pressure. We walk through a year of ego-shedding, eclipse-season fatigue, and the quiet rebellion of surrender—then connect it to a practice you can use today: choosing beliefs that align with your truth, not your fear.
I share how following innocent nudges—posting quick workouts, diving into home organizing—revealed deeper scripts about worth and performance. The lesson wasn’t to abandon health or a tidy home; it was to stop outsourcing identity to aesthetics. From there, we unpack how “trying harder” can stall manifestation, why pressure turns presence into static, and how softening is not quitting but precision: cutting the noise so the signal gets through.
A key turning point came from reframing the pandemic: the stay-at-home life I wanted arrived, and I buried it under a story that I hadn’t earned it. Naming that belief dissolved years of over-proofing. We explore how healing can become a loop if the core belief is “I’m not there yet,” and how to break it with instant reframes. Beliefs are practiced thoughts; practice new ones with intention. Use the present as your lab: each thought is a choice point. Ask if it matches your chosen story. If not, let it go and pick again.
If you’re craving relief from hustle and a return to inner steadiness, this conversation offers language, examples, and a practical filter for daily life. Expect themes of intuition, surrender, mindset shifts, nervous system calm, and the art of living from your core truth.

Hello, welcome back. How are all of you doing? I know we are coming in on the Christmas holiday. If that's what you celebrate, I know my kids are reminding me every day, the countdown. Um, and in the midst of getting ready for all of that, I have just been having these kind of major internal and personal shifts, these major epiphanies, these just major things going on, which I can no other than attribute to all of the amazing uh transits that are happening right now. Lots of like final ego dissolving, if you are feeling that. Lots of releasing and shedding. Um, again, this is the year of the snake. This is a nine-year, lots of things culminating right now, lots of things coming to a close, lots of things releasing, and of course, it is always for your highest good, even if maybe you're like me and you can't quite see what that means yet. And that has really been just like in a nutshell what this year has felt like for me. I have just been kind of in this, you know, like in-between phase that has been very challenging for me to navigate. And then suddenly, like within the last few weeks, like I it it's just like so much has been released and so much has just been let go of, almost to the point where it's hard for me to even speak about some of the things that I was holding on to because they are like they they don't even feel like they were ever a part of me, which is a very weird thing to try to articulate, but it is so freeing and it feels so good. And I just wanted to get on and do this episode and hopefully offer, I don't know, some words of wisdom, some words of healing, some insight, and just something that resonates with maybe something that you might be going through right now. Because I know when I was just like in the thick of things this year, I was like really grasping for like, oh my gosh, please just let me have some affirmation that I am not completely losing my mind. Let me have some affirmation that things are going to, you know, feel normal again. And now that I'm on the other side, I it's like, of course that's the case, right? Like we have to go through these things. And one of the things at the beginning of the year is that I vowed to courageously trust myself. And it didn't turn out how I expected. It actually turned out even better. And it brought me home to my one truth, something that I had known for a really long time, but that I really needed to fully experience for myself in order to release everything that I had put in the way of my own embodiment. So before we get into like what that one truth is and how that ultimately was revealed, and just what that has kind of shifted within me, I want to back up a bit because this year has been a roller coaster. And if there's one thing that I always want women to do and to understand, it's that your intuition, your inner wisdom, your inherent connection to your own magic, right? Something sacred, something divine, whatever it is that resonates with you, right? It is so freaking strong. It's so freaking powerful. And if you want to wildly change your life, you must be willing to surrender to trust. And surrendering to trust is twofold here, right? It's surrendering simultaneously to self-trust and divine trust, right? Like trust in something bigger, faith, right? But it's so much deeper. I feel like faith is, yes, it's a word that gets thrown around a lot, but it's so, it's so much deeper, right? It's it's an embodiment, it's a it's a knowing, okay? And the most beautiful revelation comes when you understand that these two things, right? The self-trust and just trust in life itself, trust in God, trust in a higher power, these two things do not exist separately from one another. Rather, they exist because of the other. They exist within one another, they are they are the same thing, right? Our own intuition, a woman's intuition, is guided by her inherent and deep connection to life and creation and spirit and God itself. And women have the innate ability to feel and hear this wisdom, this connection on a deeper level. But we have forgotten, right? Like we have dismissed this for far too long. And again, this podcast today is not about intuition, but I had to just start there because really kind of embodying that level of trust for me this year is what completely changed the trajectory of this year. And it's like it's the one thing that I just really want to like get across is like you know, being courageous. And again, it it does, it takes courage to say, you know what? Maybe my thinking mind doesn't know as much as well, or have the wisdom that my body has, right? That like my own body's wisdom, my own intuition, again, that inner knowing. So again, starting off this year, that was really my goal. And and part of that goal was even like I had, you know, a calling. I often use the word calling, and maybe that sounds cheesy, but like it, it's like that for me, it's like this nudge. Like, it's like this idea that gets in my head that I can't turn off until I do something about it. And I feel like that could be a whole nother episode. But this year I really vowed to follow that nudge, follow like what is nagging at me, right? And it sounds so silly, but that's just kind of how it unfolded. So I had this nagging, like, what if you just trusted yourself, right? What if you just were like, no matter how silly the idea seemed, no matter how whatever, you just followed it. And that's what I did. And again, it it completely set me off on a path that I was not expecting. Because if I were completely honest, I wanted to follow my intuition and trust myself with the goal, right? The goal of creating more financial success in my business, right? Like I had a very specific goal, a very specific reason why I wanted to trust myself. And I have been quickly humbled and quickly learned that that is not always why we pursue a path, right? There is a much deeper reason why we're pursuing things. That's part of the greater unfolding. We'll let that kind of unfold and reveal itself through this conversation. And again, I as you listen to this, I really hope and trust that maybe there are like these little nuggets of things where you're just like, yeah, I've had this nagging, I've had this nudging, and I'm not doing anything about it, right? Maybe this is the sign to do it. It's not maybe. This is the sign, right? Whatever I'm saying, and like if it gives you this little ping, like, oh my gosh, that totally makes so much sense. Like, trust that. I cannot stress that enough. There, there's so much value there for you. Okay. So again, your brain, wherever you are, this season of your life, it's going to pick up exactly what you need in this moment and and use that. Let that guide you, right? Like let that be the next lamppost lit along your path. So for me, this was you know, kind of frustrating, to be completely honest. Like, even though I was so committed to trusting myself, it it took me down a lot of like weird paths. And, you know, just to name a couple, you know, at the beginning of the year, I was just like feeling really like call, you know, I was just like kind of had a renewed sense of like wanting to be really healthy and like just have a really strong foundations and habits around working out and all of these, you know, things around I I don't even want to say like looks per se, but again, just like personal wellness and health and and showing up in that way. And one thing for me that's kind of whatever, it it's annoying, but it's also like I get it now. I see the bigger picture. So I'm just gonna share it the way it's coming out. And it's like it's annoying because I kind of have the personality for whatever reason that I'm like, when I'm doing something, like I want to share it. I want to share it with other people, even though I don't know where it's leading. I'm just I'm willing to do it right. And I guess I don't know, for good or bad, I have no qualms about that. I'm not afraid to do that anymore. So I'm like, okay, well, I'm gonna start like making these really short videos on YouTube, like these really short workout videos that you can do in like less than 10 minutes. And like that just felt good and fun. And so I started doing these again. I don't have a problem with like getting to work and showing up in that way. I don't have a problem showing up messy. I don't have a problem with that, right? But as I'm getting into this, and I even, you know, have like some people starting to reach out about like wanting to know about healthier habits and yada, yada, yada. And in that moment, it just hit me why I was doing this, why I was showing up in this way. And for anyone who is on a health journey, this please do not take this the wrong way. But in that moment, I realized I don't care. Not like I don't care about other people's health journey. I realized how much I still had not fully released the need to have my body look a certain way and to be striving for that. Okay. So what I realized in those moments were it doesn't matter what you look like, if you are constantly chasing some idea of what health looks like, what beauty looks like, what fitness looks like, what I don't know, you know, the perfect woman, whatever you want to say looks like, you will always be chasing that because that is an inside job. Okay. So it doesn't matter if you have the leanest body, if you're taking care of yourself, if you're whatever, if you haven't done the inner work to realize, like, you know what, my worth is not dependent on how I look. It doesn't matter. You will keep chasing that. And in it's like I had to follow that nudge. The nudge had nothing to do with, I don't know, whatever quote unquote business success I thought I was going to create in showing up in this kind of like health wellness space. I don't even want to call it a space. I wasn't doing it long enough to create any sort of space, but just kind of showing up in this way, it had nothing to do with that. And it had everything to do with me coming back to the truth of who I was and the truth of who all of us are, and that is that we are enough, and we need to remember who in the hell we are, who in the hell we are, and who in the hell we have always been before society and culture and mainstream media and Hollywood media and advertisements and beauty industries and wellness industries and all of these people realized that they could make a crap ton of money by telling women that they aren't enough yet, right? They're not enough until X, Y, and Z. And that is just the biggest bunch of crap. And I'm so glad that I again followed that nudge because it was like for once and for all, I released that. I didn't even realize I was still hanging on to that, but clearly I was, and it was so freeing. And then the ironic thing, right? And I talked about this on other, you know, episodes when I've talked about kind of like using manifestation for weight loss, et cetera. The ironic thing is like I literally look exactly the same, even though I have hardly done any working out just mainly because I've been busy, even though I do really value like moving your body. And I think that that's really important from a health, like an overall health standpoint, right? So don't get me wrong. But it's just like I'm not putting that pressure on myself to perform in order to look a certain way based on a societal expectation of me. Okay. All right, I'm not gonna keep droning on about this because I think you get it. But that was lesson one. And it was just, again, so freeing coming back to my truth. Like, okay, what am I doing? None of that matters. Other people are benefiting from me not feeling enough, but I'm not benefiting. I'm struggling and I'm frustrated, right? And I'm like putting all this pressure on myself to look a certain way and to work out all this, you know, all these days and like just take the freaking pressure off, right? All right, so let's keep keep moving on here. Lesson two. I had gotten a really fun opportunity to do some organizing and design work for a client um earlier in the year, and it lit me up because I love doing stuff like that. I love design, I love organizing and purging and all of these things. And while I was working on that project, I just had so much inspiration. I was so lit up by, you know, how I could maybe start an Instagram handle and help people with organizing tips, yada yada, etc. And I I kind of explore this path again. I am not afraid to start most things and show up really messy. And what I realized once again, after working with this client, after you know, doing some other things, once again, it was like this doesn't matter. And again, it's not like from a uh when I say like this doesn't matter, it sounds so defeatist, and it really, it really isn't. It's actually quite freeing and liberating. But what I realized is once again, that was a story I had created about myself, was and it's it's like so funny how it all again, you can only see this in hindsight, right? You can only see this when you when you had the chance to slow down and kind of dissect it and let life reveal however it's meant to be revealed to you. But it was like as soon as I wanted to start working on this, as soon as I had started making some videos, life just got really busy. And my own house was suddenly a disaster. It still freaking is. And what I realized in that moment again is it doesn't mean anything, it only means whatever I am making it mean. Okay, hear that so clearly. Whatever is uh frustrating you, like little petty things that are triggering you, little whatever is going on in your life, you're the one making meaning of it, you're the one creating the meaning that you know, whatever it means about you, whatever it means about whatever, okay. And once again, I was smacked in the face with the most beautiful truth that it really doesn't matter. You can have the cleanest, most organized, most beautiful, most pristine house and feel like a shell of a human being and feel like something is missing, and feel deeply unfulfilled, and feel deeply dissatisfied, unhappy, right? All of the words, all of the adjectives, it doesn't mean anything. And simultaneously, you could have a chaotic, messy house, and you could be like the most like carefree, vibrant, radiant, happy, fulfilled, satisfied person, right? So again, just getting closer to the truth of like what actually matters, okay. And and as I'm sharing with you, like it's fun. I'm I'm getting to kind of like break this all down again for myself. And in a way, it's like super therapeutic and allowing me to kind of connect some dots. And I hope that it's again firing some, you know, insights and ideas off for you as well. And the biggest thing that really challenged me this year, kind of aside from you know, these two things that I was working on, we had two major intense eclipse seasons this year. And the first one in the early spring just totally turned me into a zombie. And I just like could do like do the bare minimum, aside from like, you know, taking care of my children and and my family and my home and myself. And and that was about it. And I was so frustrated. I was so frustrated with feeling like I was working so hard, like trying to build my business and just like wasn't quote unquote working, and just trying to do all the things, right? Like trusting myself and Blah blah blah and all these things and like all the pressure I was putting on myself because I love manifestation. I love talking about all this, and like I why wasn't I able to get this to work, right? Like you can hear in my voice the energy right that I'm bringing to this situation. It's not the energy that is um is open to things manifesting for you. Let me just say that. I didn't even see it at the time, right? I was just like so in it and so frustrated. And I got to the point I remember I was like sitting on my bed and I just started crying. I was just like, like, I'm just not doing this anymore. Like, forget this. I am, I'm just not doing it. Like, I just show me what I should do. And I'm just, I'm not gonna keep forcing and trying. I'm exhausted and I'm I'm quite honestly angry. And I just stopped, right? Like I just, I just stopped and I let myself just be. And I let myself just surrender. And I, you know, and I say let myself because it it, I mean, I don't know. Sometimes, like, I think I was forced to surrender, but I still could have chosen to keep going, I guess, right? But I like in that moment gave myself permission to trust something more, right? And I think that that's where that like that's that self-trust versus trust in something greater comes in because it was like I am trusting myself, but I also like have to trust something greater, have to trust a greater unfolding in this moment. And it was really uncomfortable for me because I love to be doing, I love to be creating, I love like I get an idea and I like to just test it out and play around with it. Like that's how I've always been. And I enjoy that and I, you know, am motivated by that. And I had to sit instead in the void. I had to sit instead in the in-between. I had to sit in the not knowing. I had to sit in the wondering what's next. Was I ever gonna feel motivated again? Was I ever gonna feel inspired again? Was I ever gonna feel happy again? Right. Like those are really hard things to sit in and like to be with yourself with, right? But again, just tapping into a greater sense of trust and knowing that this is where I felt called to be, right? To just be in the surrender and be in the muck of it all. And I wasn't gonna put all this pressure on myself to get out of that situation, get out of that like funk I was in. And that leads me to like the third biggest lesson is that the more we force and the more we push and the more we try with anything and everything, right? And that forcing and trying and pushing is not from a place of, oh, I want to create and I want to do this, right? That's not force, pressure, and trying, right? That's that's creating because you're having fun and you're like in the flow, and that is a completely different energy. But when you are moving forward and trying to force your way out of whatever it is, or or you know, force something to happen, you just stay stuck. And it's like I didn't realize until I allowed myself to surrender and to soften into all of that. I didn't realize how much I was putting so much pressure on myself, right? To perform, to create financial success, all of these things. And it was the very pressure itself that was completely exhausting me. I love this the other day. Um, my daughter wanted to go to basketball practice with my husband and my son. But my husband and son had to get back home for another thing that we were having at our house that evening. And I was telling, you know, explaining to my daughter, like she really, you know, when dad says it's time to go, like she really has to listen and she can't go. And, you know, I was trying to really like hone this in because, you know, her personality is just to kind of be like running around the gym forever if she could. And she goes, You're putting so much pressure on me. And she's six, and it was like, it was like the most beautiful mirror, right? It was like so amazing to witness this with her and through her, and be like, yeah, it's not that we have to do the things, it's the pressure that we put on ourselves to do the things, the pressure that we're putting on ourselves that make meaning of the things, or make meaning of if we're not trying, if we're not working so hard, then what does that mean? Right? Like, oh my gosh. So it was just like this epiphany of I'm exhausted and I'm frustrated, not because I don't want to be building a business, not because I don't want to be supporting women, not because I don't want to do all of these things that I really enjoy doing. I'm exhausted because I had put so much pressure on myself and it wasn't working out, right? And it was just, it was just gorgeous again to see that. So if you're in a season of exhaustion, notice maybe where you're putting pressure on yourself. And I know it's so easy to say, like, oh, well, I need to do this, right? And I thought I needed to do it too. But I promise, when you pull back the layers and you dig a little deeper, you realize that you really are the only one putting pressure on yourself. And what I realized is not only was I not showing up the way that I wanted to show up for me, I wasn't showing up for my family the way that I wanted to show up, right? When I'm putting all this pressure on myself, I'm a stressed-out mom, not a present mom, right? When I'm putting all this pressure on myself, I'm just not fully able to engage in the activities that I want with my family because my mind is other places thinking about the things that I should be doing or need to be doing, or what if I did this, or what if I did that, right? And and that was that's that's completely the opposite reason why I want to even have my own business in the first place and and be able to have more time with my kids, et cetera, et cetera. All right, so I'm gonna just keep going for it. I know we're kind of, you know, we've been together here for about 25 minutes, but I don't know, I'm just I'm gonna just keep sharing because again, I'm hoping some of these my own personal epiphanies um support you somewhere along the way. And this next one is just directly related to the pressure I was putting on myself to succeed. So again, this is leading me to like lesson number four here from this year is I realized that all of the pressure that I was putting on myself to create a business that was successful. And it's like I knew this, right? I and I'm prefacing saying all this with I knew this, because sometimes it's simply you know these things, you there's a truth or a fear or something that you know. And the second you own it and the second you claim it, it like disappears. Okay. And so again, if there's something on your heart, if there's something like in your gut, like own whatever that is, that will free you like in a in a in an instant, in a second. So what I had realized is, you know, the pandemic turned me into a stay-at-home mom. And I, you know, basically overnight, right, through that event, through that, you know, through the pandemic, literally shutting the world down on a Thursday night, my kids weren't able to go to daycare on that Friday, in an instant, I had manifested what I had always wanted anyway, which was simply to spend more time with my kids, simply to be with them more. That's all I ever wanted, right? And I thought that the path to getting there was starting my own business and having more time freedom and being more flexible and yada, yada, yada. But instead of, you know, noticing, holy cow, I just manifested everything that I wanted. I'm I now get to be a stay-at-home mom, even though the world feels very uncertain and there were all these other things. Instead of celebrating that and being so overjoyed by that, I instead instantly look to I I didn't work hard enough for this. I need to now get to work and prove that I can have this life, right? I need to get to work and prove that, okay, if I can make the money that proves that I'm able to then have this business and be home with my kids, like then it's okay, right? Then I have proven my worth. I have proven my worthiness and deservedness of this life that I have manifested overnight, right? Like, again, just stories that we all make up in our head. And it was like, I saw that, you know, literally, I saw that about a month ago. I had that epiphany about a month ago. And I have been dealing, you know, I the pandemic was how long ago, right? Started in 2020. So five years now, I have been rattling that in my brain. And I finally just was able to digest it and own it and see it for what it was. And it literally cracked me wide open and shifted everything in an instant. In an instant. And now that I see it, I can simply say, oh wow, that is such an interesting story that I made up about myself, right? I about my life, right? Because that is the other thing that again, I've done so much inner work. I've done so much personal development work. I've I I love that work. I love that healing work. And simultaneously, one of the biggest shifts that I've had is that I've just I've allowed myself to kind of get stuck completely unconsciously on this healing journey, right? The more you look to what still needs to be fixed, what do I, what still isn't healed? Such and such hasn't manifested. So something must be wrong with me. What, what is it? What is it? Like we're con like I shouldn't say weeks. I don't want to put words in your mouth. I'm gonna use my stories here and hope that there's a nugget in there that sets you free. But it was like in the constant searching, I didn't realize I was stuck in the searching. Does that make sense? I didn't realize I was stuck trying to fix something. And back to the beginning of the year, when I realized, like, oh, if I keep going down this like path of trying to have this quote unquote perfect idea of health, a body, etc., you're always going to be searching for that, right? Because it just doesn't exist. And and it was such a beautiful culmination of everything that had happened this year and everything that I went through and everything that I needed to see and everything that I needed to release. It was like this beautiful, just light bulb moment of even the healing work itself, like is simply a belief, right? And just like that, just in an instant, in a snap, you can choose your story. You can choose to say that is just a belief. Even the idea that I think that there is something that needs to be healed is a belief. And just like that, you can shift it and say, you know, it's not like I no longer need to hold on to that story. I no longer need to bring that with me. And that is really what 2025 has been about. Again, the year of the snake, right? All of the shedding that needs to happen, the nine year, all of the things that need to come to an end, that all the stories that aren't going to serve us as we go into 2026, a one-year, right? New beginnings, the year of the horse, the fire horse. There's so many transits that are um that are going to be finally shifting. They were kind of like back and forth, um, going retrograde, kind of like the last half of 2025. And and they're going to be going direct starting in 2026, the, you know, beginning of the year, different months. But it it's so beautiful when you can sit down and see that and make sense of it. And I was only able to do that and make sense of it and have these major shifts because I allowed myself to surrender. I allowed myself to say, eff it. I don't know. I'm so tired of trying to figure it out. I just softened into life more. And softening doesn't mean that you're not doing anything, right? Like you still have to take care of your kids, you still have to go to work, you still have to do chores around the house, whatever it is. Softening is simply releasing the pressure, right? And and who cares? You know, it's like, even if we're like, oh, I can't do that. I I would feel so lazy. That's still a story, right? And it's like so beautiful for me. It's like now, it's like once I once I've seen all of this, it's like I can't believe I didn't see it before, right? I can't believe it was like right in front of me the whole time. And now that I see it, I I can't unsee it. It's like, it's wild. I it is again just like the most freeing uh feeling and the best I've I've ever felt because I just, I don't know, it's like you see life for what it actually is. And um, you know, I was joking, it's or it's like that Taylor Swift song. I think it's anti-hero, where she's like, it's me, hi, you know, I'm the problem, it's me. And again, not problem like I need to fix something, but it's simply that we're choosing to hold on to thoughts and beliefs that just aren't real. They're not real, they're not true, right? Because you can look around you, you can look at the world, and you can see dualities existing everywhere. I always, you know, joke with my husband that if hard work actually created wealth, you know, we would have all of those single moms out there working three jobs, trying to provide for their their kids, you know, being multimillionaires. And that's not the case, right? It's all a belief. And when you can finally notice in like a nanosecond, right? I I was driving the other day to pick up my kids from school, and I I noticed a belief I was starting to have. And again, I've I can shift things so fast now, I don't even remember what I was thinking about. But I remember I had the thought, and it's like I saw the thought simultaneously. And I was like, okay, bye, right? Like, I don't need that thought. That thought is not aligned with my own truth, okay? And this is really where I'm going with all of this, is everything has brought me back to my truth. And the truth of that is we all have our own truths, right? We all, of course, we have things that we believe, and that kind of in our subconscious has created our current reality, but there is a truth underneath all the layers that is the life that you want to live, that is the life that you want to create. That truth is real, and that truth is yours, and all it takes is aligning with that every moment you can, every moment you remember, right? Life is constantly going to present moments to you, opportunities. Uh sometimes I call them choice points, right? It's going to create a point at this present time because it always happens in the present. And this is why the present is so important and why it's so important to slow down so that we can see and notice and witness and have the awareness, right? To see, like, okay, what is being presented? Is this aligned with the truth, right? With the story that I want to tell, the story that I'm choosing to write, or is what I'm seeing and the thought that I'm having about what I'm seeing, and what I'm seeing is what I mean by that is like whatever, you know, your physical reality is presenting to you. Is my thought about that thing aligned with my truth or not? And if it's not aligned with your truth, Sia freaking Nora. Okay, because really and truly you can shift beliefs just like that. And you shift them by noticing that you in every single moment have the power to choose every single moment. What do you want to believe? What is your truth? Is it aligned with that story? And if it's not, it's just like, oh, okay, I see that doesn't serve. I can let it go. I don't need to like let that thought kind of like infiltrate into my mind, into my psyche, because beliefs are just thoughts we think over and over and over again, right? And then we come, we become so convicted in our beliefs that that's how we then show up in the world. So now it's like working backwards. It's like, what is my truth, right? What is the story I want to tell? What is the life I want to create? How do I want to feel? Right. And then it's it's almost like working backwards, right? Noticing like every little thought is a step. Does that thought align with the path, right? Does it align with the step in the path towards your truth or not? Right. And then when you get, you almost become like a like a super sleuth, like a detective. And it's so easy to then just like filter out what doesn't serve. And you're like, how did I not see this before? And that's like instantly you start feeling better because instantly you stop allowing all the crap that was, you know, like taking, taking over and draining your energy. You realize, oh, I was the one allowing that again. And it's like, it's so innocent and like it's not a big deal because it's part of the process, like it's part of us remembering maybe the the truest truth of them all is that we are so much more powerful than we realize, and we have the ability to co-create whatever life we want for ourselves. So again, I trust and hope that this served you in some way, that this gave you some little nugget, if nothing else, trusting yourself and noticing at every possible moment where you're choosing to think, you know, something is true or not. And that's it, right? Because you get to decide. Okay. So uncovering what your truth is and then working backwards and only choosing the thoughts that align with your truth. And it really does get to be that simple. Um, thank you for being here with me. As always, I would love to hear from you. You can find my email address in the notes of the podcast.
