Feeling STUCK in a life that no longer fits?

(you are SO not alone...not by a long shot which is one of the core reasons why I created BE. DARE. CREATE.)

You know that moment when everything in your life should feel fine, maybe even great, but deep down, something feels off? That restless feeling, the nagging thought that there has to be more?

That’s what my guest, Amy Pons, calls the pinch.

It’s that moment of realization when the career, the relationships, the day-to-day grind no longer align with who you truly are and want to BE.

In this episode of BE. DARE. CREATE., Amy and I dive super deep into how to break free from the copy-paste life, rewrite the rules, and step into the FULL power of your magic. 

Whether you’re feeling disconnected from your purpose, stuck in a job that drains you, or just craving something more, this conversation is ABSOLUTELY for you.

(We also talk about vulvas...it's a good one!)

Amy and I talk about...

  • How to recognize "the pinch" - that moment when life no longer feels...'right' and what to do with it
  • Why it's so forking important to recognize when you're 'shoulding' on yourself and how to define success on your terms so you can stop that already
  • Healing in only ever an inside job and how to get started
  • Your body knows...it absolutely knows and how to actually tap into it for wisdom and decision-making
  • Vulvas...so much vulva talk but it's all super relative to how you BE, how you get stuff done (CREATE), how you show up (DARE), how you heal
  • And lots lots more...
