TQB Episode 2: A Look Back + A Step Forward

Welcome back! We made it through another week, and I’m so happy you’re here with me. This episode is packed with reflections, personal stories, and life lessons inspired by this week’s blog posts. Here’s a peek at what’s inside: * The Power of Words and the Whispers of Desire: I talk about how vital it is to get clear on what you truly want and why it’s often easier to focus on what you don’t want. * BOOM, CRACK, SING: Lessons from a Frozen Lake: Hear about my first ice fishing adventure, the terrifying-yet-magical sounds of cracking ice, and how this experience inspired a reflection on growth, pressure, and finding our voice. * Before You Take It Personally: I share insights on navigating tense situations without losing yourself, extending grace to others, and not carrying the emotional weight of someone else's bad day. * You Were Made to Rise: A throwback to my first-ever blog post, where I explored the parallels between the water cycle and our human journey. As always, I’m grateful for your support and excited for another week together. Got a question, thought, or comment?
