Let’s Celebrate! In this episode, we celebrate our wins from 2023 and illuminate our path to SOAR in 2024! I share with you the Angel Number message 111 from “The Angel Numbers Book: How to Understand the Messages Your Spirit Guides Are Sending You” by Mystic Michaela. We do a card pull from “The Wild Unknown Archetypes” Deck and Guidebook by Kim Krans. For me, pulling cards is a fun way to illuminate and bring attention to some important messages from the beyond and information that might be hiding below the surface of our conscious awareness. We make meaning of the cards in our lives right now, reflecting on and celebrating where we have been, and illuminating a plan of action in line with our vision and dreams for the future!

We’ve all done that thing - we have to talk about something uncomfortable - but we don’t want to. Deep down, we know we should have a conversation, but the anticipation is so uncomfortable that we avoid it. We might be fearful of how the other person is going to react; or we don’t want to start a fight; or we just don’t want to experience the emotional discomfort.  Avoidance of discomfort can seem like the right decision in the moment, but chronic avoidance can lead to negative stress reactions and unhealthy relationship experiences. In today’s episode, I share the formula for having courageous conversations, from Singleton and Linton’s (2005) book Courageous Conversations About Race.
