In this solo episode, I reflect on what it really means to be brave on your path to becoming. Fresh off leading two vision board workshops—one in a corporate setting and one in a creative studio—I share stories of quiet courage and remind you that bravery doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, it whispers: “You’re allowed to want what you want.”

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to take action on your creative dreams, this episode is your permission slip to begin—right where you are.

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Emiliya Zhivotovskaya, CEO and founder of The Flourishing Center. Together, we explore resilience, positive psychology, and ways to move forward after adversity—whether personal or communal.

You’ll hear:

- My journey to rebuild community after the Eaton fire, and Emiliya’s perspective on what drives flourishing even in the hardest times.

- A glimpse into Emiliya’s innovative work in positive psychology, her mission for spreading well-being, and uplifting stories from her own life.

- Real-world insights into how to support loved ones experiencing loss, as well as the subtle difference between sympathy and empathy.

- Actionable (but not all the!) tools for cultivating resilience, managing “mind chatter,” and why your personal narrative matters in healing and growth.

- A few fun rapid-fire questions to help you get to know Emiliya on a personal level.

Plus, tune in for details on Emiliya’s generous free gift to the audience!
