RESOURCES: The Top Podcasts, Meditations & More
Hi Beautiful Souls,
We all have days when motivation feels out of reach—when the weight of our commitments or just the unpredictability of life makes it hard to stay on track. In those moments, I turn to certain resources that help me realign and remind me of what matters most (hint: it’s NOT my to-do list). I hope these sources of practices and inspiration do the same for you.
Studies show that when we feel inspired, we’re more likely to take action, experience personal growth, and even enhance our creativity (Thrash & Elliot, 2003).
May these resources serve as gentle reminders of the light within you.
With love and encouragement,
