The counselor said to me: "You know, divorce is the leading cause of poverty for women." Was I really going to do this? I was sitting in a counselor’s office, about to say goodbye to everything I’d been taught was essential for a happy life: the perfect house, marriage, and the 2.5 kids to boot, and embark on a completely new journey: that of a single mom and former school-teacher turned yogi, eager for a career change and a way to support her two young kids.
I took a breath and looked the counselor in the eye before saying confidently, "That won't be a problem here."
At that moment, standing at the crossroads of my life, I chose to believe in a different story for myself. Surviving, or living life on autopilot, was no longer an option.
I was ready to thrive and begin a whole new chapter in the book of my life.
More than 5 years later, I’m ready to share my story with you on my brand new Podcast: "Shift Your Vibe to Thrive."
Facing life's big shifts
Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. I've been there – a single mom, stepping into a completely new career path, with more dreams than dollars in my pocket. The journey wasn't easy. There were days I doubted my choices, days I felt lost. But through it all, I held onto one belief: by trusting my intuition, choosing what I knew to be true for me (not everyone else), and attracting the energy I desired, I could transform my reality.
My story of transformation
After my divorce, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. I wasn't just changing my marital status; I was rewriting my entire life script. From jumping into a career in marketing (after being a high-school biology teacher), and launching my own business to exploring the world of dating again, each step was a leap of faith. And now, as a podcast host, I'm taking another exciting leap, sharing my experiences and lessons learned with you.
The essence of "Shift your vibe to thrive"
My podcast isn't about giving you a checklist for success – because what’s true for me won’t necessarily be true for you.
It's about sharing stories of real people, just like you and me, who have navigated significant life changes – changing careers, overcoming illnesses, and yes, moving on from difficult relationships. It's about showing you that when you shift your energy, you can indeed thrive, not just survive.
What I've learned and what you can too
Trust what is true for you: A lot of us go through life doing things we’ve been told we “should” do – working the 9-5, trying to create the perfect life. But only you know what is true for you, and when you begin to hone your intuition, you can manifest a life aligned with who you truly are.
Your subconscious mind has already decided what is possible for you: your subconscious brain is what makes 99% of your decisions before you’re even consciously aware of them. By rewiring your subconscious brain out of things like fear, anger, shame, and doubt, you’ll identify possibilities and have access to energy that you were previously unaware of.
Be your own authority: No one else has the answers you’re looking for! It’s time to be your own guru and choose what is true for you instead of looking to others to tell you what is true.
Energy Is Everything: It may sound “woo-woo” at first, but science teaches us that everything is in motion, and it’s that vibrational movement we call energy. Everything is energy – people, plants, animals, and inanimate objects too. Even your thoughts and feelings create vibrations. You may remember hearing the phrase ‘like attracts like’. That is exactly what quantum physics has proven – that when energies with the same vibrations align, they are attracted to one another. When you shift your vibe and change your frequency, you change what comes into your life.
Join me on this journey
"Shift Your Vibe to Thrive" is more than a podcast; it's a community, a space for growth, and a testament to the power of positive change. I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, let's discover how shifting our vibe can lead us to a thriving life, not just surviving.
