Sometimes life invites us to climb mountains we never expected. Not to conquer them, but to discover who we become along the way.

Today’s episode is a sneak peek into my conversation with Arwen Becker, a woman whose journey reminds us that the adventure is happening right now, wherever our feet are planted. The full episode airs this Friday, and trust me, you’ll want to hear the rest of her incredible story.

Arwen spent 23 years running a thriving retirement planning firm where she helped women take charge of their financial futures. In 2022, she sold that business, embraced sobriety, and began a new chapter as a keynote speaker, endurance athlete, and author. She has completed the 29029 x Aspen challenge six times, written two books with another on the way, and cherishes her roles as a devoted wife and proud mom of three grown sons.

In this short conversation, Arwen and I talk about what it takes to commit to something that scares you, the beauty of small consistent steps, and the grace found in loving the process rather than chasing the peak. We explore how faith can steady us through transformation and how the climb itself becomes the most meaningful part of the journey.

Arwen’s story is a beautiful reminder that the real adventure is not somewhere out there. It is happening right now, in every breath, every choice, and every act of courage that brings us closer to who we are becoming.

Some conversations stay with you long after they end, and my talk with Michelle Kuei is one of them.

Michelle is a confidence coach, author, and international speaker who has an incredible story of resilience and transformation. Born with a disability and later involved in a car accident that left her permanently disabled, Michelle has made it her life’s mission to empower others to rise above self-doubt and show up confidently as who they are.

This conversation was originally part of the Speak Truth to Live Summit, a 21-day event that brought together inspiring speakers who shared their truth and personal journeys to help others live with greater courage and authenticity. I’m so grateful to bring this episode back as we continue celebrating the summit and its ripple of empowerment.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• How Michelle turned pain into purpose and found confidence after trauma
• The mindset shift that helps you embrace who you are right now
• Why self-compassion is key to transformation
• How to reframe your story and see challenges as opportunities

Sometimes the smallest moments carry the biggest transformations. A smile at the post office, a kind word at the coffee shop, or even a pause to savor the beauty of right now can shift the way we experience life.

In this minisode I share a heartwarming conversation with Jackie Woodside, TEDx speaker, USA Today bestselling author, and host of the Conscious Living Podcast. Jackie’s favorite response when you ask her how she is doing is “happy and blessed” and she explains why those words matter so much. She also gives us a simple ten second practice that can help you turn fleeting moments into memories that last a lifetime.

This is just a taste of our full episode together where we dive deeper into conscious living, joy, and creating your unique money vibe. You can listen to the full conversation here:

• Apple Podcasts

So take this reminder into your day, my friends. Savor the moment, speak the words, and let yourself feel happy and blessed.

Sometimes life gives us a surprise that turns out to be a gift in disguise. What we thought was a setback can actually become the very thing that opens the door to something even better.

What looked uncertain at first became a chance to witness connection, and the beauty of finding the right fit at the right time. It is a heartwarming reminder that when we allow life to unfold, the outcome can be a true win-win.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• Seeing unexpected turns as hidden opportunities

There is something magical that happens when we spend time with horses. They remind us to slow down, to listen with more than our ears, and to feel the invisible conversations happening all around us. Horses aren’t just here to carry us or compete with us, they are here to guide us back to ourselves and to the Earth.

In this episode, I get to sit down with Kathy Pike, a woman I have admired for years. Kathy is a teacher, author, and the founder of the Academy for Coaching with Horses. She has trained people in more than 25 countries to connect with horses in ways that open the heart and expand our awareness. She’s also written books and created beautiful card decks that carry the voice of horse consciousness into our everyday lives.

We talk about the wisdom of elder horses, what it means to see them as true individuals, how they help us grow our emotional intelligence, and even how their consciousness might stand beside technology in shaping our future. Kathy also shares about her own journey into channeling and the messages she has received from the collective spirit of horses. This conversation is filled with love, wisdom, and reminders of the gifts horses bring when we choose to really listen.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How horses help us slow down and be present
• What elder horses can teach us about aging and connection
• Why emotional intelligence is so important in horse-human relationships
• How horse wisdom can support us in a fast-changing world
• Kathy’s story of channeling and bringing through horse spirit messages

This minisode is straight from my heart and from one of the clearest downloads I ever received in my recovery journey: You are ready when you say you are.

I had spent so much of my life waiting. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for permission. Waiting until I felt perfect or prepared enough. But the truth is, readiness doesn’t come from the outside. It is an inside job. And when you decide, things start to shift.

In this episode, I share how this mantra carried me through moments of doubt, through perfectionism, and through the messy reality of showing up anyway. From preparing for my TEDx talk to facing unexpected detours, I’ve learned that it’s not about everything going smoothly. It’s about deciding that this moment, right here, is enough.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why no one else gets to decide when you are ready
• The mantra that changed everything for me in recovery
• How letting go and forgiving opens space for what’s next
• The reminder to be gentle with yourself when you feel unprepared
• Why your next chapter begins the moment you say it does

Your Challenge:
Take a few quiet minutes this week to practice saying out loud: I am ready. Say it in the car, in the mirror, or into your phone and notice how your body feels when you claim it. Then ask yourself: What is one small thing I’m ready for today? It doesn’t have to be big. Just take one step and see how the universe responds.
