it’s all about self luvv, baby. and now more than ever. ⁣
⁣
with life getting busy in the way that it does, i took myself on a gal date with the sun, my docs, a book, and a bottle of red yesterday. allowing this recharge to guide me through the expanse with grace and ease. ⁣
⁣
challenge, change, growth, always 🪐⁣

⁣
— because i can. ⁣
⁣
“and i know your silence won’t break me. ⁣
the texts that inch on for hours until you’ve forgotten who’s had the last word. ⁣
shaking all the good from your dreaded locks and seeing it a little clearer today. ⁣
the midst felt unending, up until you allowed yourself to be swept away by it. and always, feels a little less, ⁣
and numbing, is better than missing ⁣
any part of you. ⁣
there’s something to look forward to, ⁣
at least for now. ⁣
so i’m loving myself even if you won’t. ⁣
i’m reflecting myself even if you can’t. ⁣
and in all these hours of reaching for my phone to see that it’s me again who’s had the last word, ⁣
i’m okay with being swept away this time because i’ve done it before.⁣
and life tastes a bit sweeter knowing you’re not here, not because you can’t, but because i can.”⁣

⁣
learning how to live and love again. big moves down to my favorite place in the whole world, finally. new beginnings. same friends. except the ones who were never here to stay. letting go for real this time. podcast on hold for the time being while i start this new chapter, but she’ll be back soon. thanks for the love, always.

Have you ever thought that maybe everything in your life is happening in order to align you with your higher calling?⁣
⁣
That even if you veer “off track”, someway somehow you’ll return to your path if that is what you desire. That you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. That synchronicities and intuition exist for the sole purpose of calling your attention to the cosmos and realigning where you see fit. ⁣
⁣
If any of this resonates with you, please tune into this week’s episode with the inspiring Katie Shim as we recall what brought us both to the islands of Hawaii. And what we hope to carry with us into eternity. ⁣
⁣
This episode, number 20, will also be the last of 2019. ⁣
⁣
I’m so grateful for all of you and all 20 episodes of The LifeofKare Podcast! Things are getting mixed up in 2020, but I can’t wait for more deep dives into everything that makes us whole.⁣
⁣
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all!⁣

Today we’re talking in great detail about the coveted beauty rest that we all need— how to get to sleep, how to stay asleep, how to get healthier sleep, and why you may be struggling in any of these areas. ⁣
⁣
When I heard that the majority of you wanted to learn more about sleep, I had to get @drsaradefrancesco on the show. She provides us with a comprehensive sleep guide (also found on Thriving Force) that covers everything from insomnia to blood sugar and chemical imbalances, and daily rituals to get you back on track. ⁣
⁣
Not only that, but she also emphasizes how the brain manifests inflammatory processes after trauma, and how it may be affecting you to this day. I’m not exaggerating when I say how grateful I am to have had Dr. DeFrancesco on the show. ⁣
⁣
Please take a listen, and wishing you the sweetest of dreams! ⁣

“what does it mean to be lonely. what does it mean to be alone.⁣⁣
how can we truly mimic the way the moon dives well below the horizon while her star companions shuffle around the night sky.⁣⁣
what good is time if you end up right where you started.⁣⁣
who do we turn to when we begin to feel the insanity setting in.⁣⁣
the mind grows weary of the same daydream day in and day out.⁣⁣
show me the dark side of the moon.”⁣⁣
⁣
december is a culmination of not only the most tempestuous months, but also the year in its entirety. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
breaching, gasping for air, reminds me that perhaps i’ve been underwater this whole time and i’m finally tasting the oxygen in my lungs. my shadow self has turned from the adulterated, neglected child to someone i’m learning to share silence with. sometimes the only purpose of these journeys we embark on is to gain perspective. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
this multidimensional diamond of emotion and what we attach meaning to casting and catching reflections of a simulated reality. as this year comes to a close, remind yourself of your fears, daydreams, hopes, heart, and what you’ll choose to carry with you into 2020. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
you are constantly in a state of transformation. honor it. ⁣⁣

Who hear resonates with the crippling fear of imposter syndrome? ⁣
⁣
🖐🏼 If you answered yes, don’t worry because I got you. ⁣
⁣
Unfortunately, fear is inevitable. The existence of fear is seen as a mechanism of protection from the unknown. But what if the short term discomfort and ambiguity yields far greater rewards in the long run? That seems to be the case in almost every person I’ve spoken with, especially if they are pursuing their passions and purpose. In today’s episode with @RachKrupa, we chat about:⁣
∼ finding what lights you up, your why⁣
∼ public relations in the wellness space⁣
∼ making tough decisions as an entrepreneur ⁣
∼ self-care tips for travel⁣
⁣
Rachel is the creator of her own consulting firm, @KrupaConsulting, and @TheGoodsMart, both of with are bi-coastal businesses. Listen to today’s episode to find out exactly what it takes to shake the fear of being your own boss.⁣
