I think it’s safe to say that 2020 didn’t turn out how most of us expected it would.

I certainly had a different idea of how this year would go!

In this week’s episode, my guest Nicola Newman reflects on how life doesn’t always turn out the way we expect or plan it to. Whether unexpected events surprise you in a good way or a bad way, it’s okay to change course. And to be kind with yourself, and be curious about how you’re feeling.

Nicola is such a kind, gentle, compassionate, creative soul, and I’m so grateful that she replied to an email from a complete stranger! She agreed to meet with me over Zoom, and from that first conversation, I felt like she was a kindred spirit.

In this episode Nicola and I talk about —

learning how to love yourself
following your creativity, and your curiosity (rather than what you think you “should” do)
giving yourself permission to be honest about how you feel
how to practice the inquisitive pause

This is such a relatable episode full of creative inspiration and kindness for wherever you’re at in your journey.

I hope you feel inspired and full of love for yourself — whether you feel like you’re limping toward the finish line of this year or running into 2021 full speed ahead.
