In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of "the waiting room" — a space we enter when we're doing the hard work of evolving into the better version of ourselves, our 2.0 selves. I explain what this waiting room is and the feelings that can accompany it, from the discomfort and uncertainty to moments of clarity and growth. It's completely normal to experience a range of emotions, both positive and negative, during this time.

I share personal stories, reflecting on feelings of loneliness and heightened anxiety, especially when I made the difficult choice to stop investing energy into friendships that no longer served me. It was like going through a mourning period, saying goodbye to my 1.0 self and the people, habits, and patterns tied to that version. But this mourning is necessary to make space for the 2.0 version of ourselves — a more aligned, purposeful self.

Throughout this process, I revisit my 100% energy theory, which runs as a thread through all my episodes, and also draw on the life garden analogy. Just like in a garden, we must weed out what no longer belongs to nourish the things we want to grow. By doing this, we can step into our 2.0 selves, feeling more grounded and intentional.

This episode serves as a reminder that it's okay to feel a sense of loss and unease in this waiting room, but it's also where the seeds of transformation are planted.

In today’s solo episode, I explore the powerful concept of embracing yourself as both a masterpiece and a constant work in progress. Building on the 100% Energy Theory, I discuss how this dual mindset can help you better manage your energy by focusing on growth and fulfillment while letting go of the things that no longer serve you.

I begin by acknowledging the duality within all of us. You’ll discover how seeing yourself as complete and valuable in the present moment can coexist with the desire to keep growing and learning. The goal is to shift your mindset so you feel less pressure to be perfect and more empowered to appreciate your current strengths while pursuing future growth.

I explain how adopting a “masterpiece mindset” can conserve energy and foster self-care and how channeling your energy into purposeful growth can prevent burnout and help you progress meaningfully.

In this episode, I dive into the relentless pressure we feel to manage time efficiently in our fast-paced world. As I celebrate my 41st birthday, a time that naturally brings reflection, I find myself at the start of a new school year—an annual milestone that has always felt like a personal New Year to me. This season prompts me to look back on the summer and think about all the things I wanted to do but didn’t quite get to, which often leaves me feeling like I’ve fallen short. These missed opportunities aren’t just about the activities themselves; they tie into a much larger societal pressure surrounding age and time that I’ve felt deeply throughout my life.

I share my journey of once thriving on the praise of being "so busy" and juggling everything, only to realize that this mindset was taking a significant emotional toll on my well-being. I used to love hearing people say, "OMG, you are so busy, how do you do it all?" because it made me feel accomplished and validated. But over time, I’ve come to understand that societal expectations around age and productivity have had a lasting impact on me, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a constant sense that there's never enough time or that I'm not using it wisely. This pressure has followed me well into adulthood, and I’m now actively working to change my relationship with time.

In this episode, I talk about the shift from valuing busyness to striving for balance. I explore how I’m trying to break free from the vortex of time by focusing on quality over quantity, and how I’m learning to embrace the present moment without the constant rush. I also share practical strategies and mindset shifts that are helping me combat the anxiety of feeling like there’s never enough time. My hope is that by opening up about my experience, others might reflect on how societal pressures around time are affecting them and consider ways to reclaim their peace.
