You know that song by Christian French that goes “Thank God what I wanted back then isn’t what I have now?”

When Tony (my fiance) and I were looking for our first home last spring, my entire Facebook feed was FULL of people buying beautiful homes. We had all of our ducks in a row, visited 30+ homes, got denied on 3 offers (over-asking, mind you), and left feeling broken-hearted that what got a person a starter home in 2019 did not, in fact, apply to the housing market in 2022.

All I could dream about last year was finding the perfect place. I look back now and sing this Christian French tune with deeper gratitude that I did not get what I thought I wanted.

Today’s episode is for those of you who have ever dreamed of how amazing it would be to try living in someone else’s shoes.

The grass is greener where you water it.

Often, people ask how I have a generally positive attitude & keep stress low while juggling work & my business, having thriving relationships, and keeping self-care a priority despite having days that are booked from 7 a.m- 7 p.m.

On this week’s episode, I share 5 simple things I do that make my life better. 

These 5 tips don’t require much time or resources, only the desire to soak up the most joy out of each day. Personally, I feel the most joyful when I’m watering each area of my life like plants in a garden. What I share in this episode are not revolutionary, more-so small ways to feel amazing on the topics of self-care, mindset, & finances.

It is my belief that our intuition (our soul) guides us throughout our lives because it already knows the direction we are meant to head in toward well-being, peace, & harmony. This can be incredibly helpful when we are faced with a decision by asking ourselves logically if this makes sense and also if this decision feels good / will lead to a more fulfilled existence.

While this valuable information is always available to us, it can be difficult to access our intuition when society & the media pressures us to live conventionally based on being successful by chasing money, material, and status.
