🎙️ Be Inspired – The Law of Assumption

Welcome to Be Inspired, the podcast that uplifts your spirit, nourishes your mind and empowers you to live intentionally. I’m your host, Francesca—and today’s episode is a powerful one. We’re talking about the Law of Assumption—a simple but life-changing principle that reminds us: what you believe to be true becomes your reality.

In this episode, we’re going to explore:

✅ Why assuming success, ease, and abundance actually works.

✅ How your unconscious beliefs shape your experiences.

✅ The role of mental discipline and awareness.

✅ Practical ways to shift your mindset and embody the life you truly desire.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, uncertain, or just craving a shift—this episode is for you. When you learn to assume the feeling of a wish fulfilled, you’ll unlock a deeper truth: that you are the creator of your reality, and life responds to the energy you live in.

Listening in will leave you feeling empowered, clear, and ready to rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself.

So grab a tea, get cozy, and let’s go deep. It’s time to be intentional, be aware, and remember, no matter what — always Be Inspired ❤️

Welcome to Be Inspired—your ultimate resource for finding inspiration and the podcast where passion meets purpose, and bold dreamers become the artists of their own destiny. I’m your host, Francesca and today’s episode is a masterclass in courage, creativity, and choosing your dream—no matter when, or how, it calls you.

I’m so excited to introduce you to Kim Foster Yardley, a phenomenal artist and psychologist who’s just been accepted into a wonderful School of Visual Arts to pursue her Master of Fine Arts!

Kim’s story is more than inspiring—it’s a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of listening to that quiet, persistent voice inside that says, “This is who you truly are.”

In this episode, Kim shares what it really means to take a leap of faith into your purpose, how her background in psychology informs her art, and the practical challenges she’s facing to make her dream a reality. You’ll walk away feeling moved, motivated—and maybe even ready to take your own leap.

If you’re someone who’s ever put a dream on hold, questioned your timing, or wondered what if, this one’s for you.

Let’s dive in—this is Kim’s journey to the School of Visual Arts.
