Key themes covered:
Self-confidence and personal growth
Accepting help and embracing change
Building healthy relationships (with others and yourself)
Understanding time and personal timelines

33. Personal Development ( Inward vs Outward)

In today's podcast episode, we'll do a catch-up episode focusing on the cycles of personal development. Lay speaks about the different ways we develop in different cycles. Sometimes our life is more inward and we are focused solely on ourselves; other times, we have outward events that tend to influence how we show up for ourselves. Highlighting the differences allows us to appreciate both times especially when you are in your glow-up journey and get into the ebb and flow of life.
 
Note: This episode is the first to be recorded in September. I am doing the best I can to get back into posting so it may take some time to get back into the flow of content creation. I apologize for not having a consistent upload date.

32. Intro to Self-Trust and its influence on intentional living

In this episode, we are discussing self-trust. By definition, it is about having faith in yourself and the decisions you make regardless of the outcome. Surprisingly, this is an important aspect of self-love and intentional living, but a lesser spoken-about aspect in the wellness community. We are covering what it is, how it relates to self-love, signs that you may distrust yourself, and how it influences your journey to intentional living.
 
Note: This episode was pre-recorded in June. I thought these would come out in July / August but with a lot of changes happening, I had to push it back until this month. I wanted to continue the series but since then new episodes have been recorded making this the closing to the intentional living series.
