EP. 242 From Perimenopause to Power: Supporting Women Naturally ft. Elsabeth van der Wilt

Ep. 244 Getting Delusional About Your Dreams

What if the key to creating the life you want isn't being realistic—but allowing yourself to dream bigger than you've ever dreamed before? In this episode, I'm talking about the power of getting "delusional" about your goals and stepping into the frequency of the future version of yourself. Too often, we limit our vision based on our current circumstances, timelines, and expectations. But the biggest breakthroughs happen when we give ourselves permission to think beyond what's practical and start believing in what's possible. We'll dive into: * What it really means to step into the energy and frequency of your goals * Why your environment plays a huge role in your success * How to create action steps that move you toward your vision for the rest of the year * The importance of aligning your daily habits with the person you're becoming * Why letting go of expectations can create more opportunities than trying to control every outcome * How dreaming bigger can unlock possibilities you never considered This episode is your reminder that you don't have to wait until you feel ready. The version of you who already has the life you want thinks differently, acts differently, and believes differently. The more you embody that person now, the closer you move toward making your vision a reality. It's time to stop playing small, release the limits you've placed on yourself, and give yourself permission to dream without boundaries. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is become a little delusional about what's possible. Connect with me: www.instagram.com/sparkle_vibrations www.instagram.com/mystic.herbal.doula

Ep. 243 Owning Your Magic and Super Powers

Episode 243: Owning Your Magic & Superpowers What if the gifts, talents, and qualities that come most naturally to you are exactly what the world needs more of? In this episode, I’m talking about the importance of owning your magic and recognizing the unique superpowers that make you who you are. So often, we downplay our strengths, compare ourselves to others, or question whether what we have to offer is valuable. But the truth is that you are here for a reason, and your unique gifts are meant to be shared. I dive into what it means to confidently embrace what you're good at, stop hiding your brilliance, and allow yourself to shine. We also explore the power of doing what you love, following what lights you up, and creating a life that feels aligned with your true self. When you trust yourself and lean into your natural gifts, you not only create more joy and fulfillment for yourself—you inspire others to do the same. In this episode, you'll learn: * Why it's important to own your unique gifts and talents * How to stop minimizing what makes you special * The connection between alignment and fulfillment * Why doing what lights you up matters Remember: no one else can bring your magic to the world the way you can.

Softening Instead of Forcing *Releasing Hustle Energy & Coming Back to Yourself* What if the answer isn’t pushing harder… but softening instead?
