Through this practice, I can move out of negativity and embrace boundless positivity. I hope this meditation becomes a ritual for you, empowering you to visualize and walk toward any goal or manifestation you’re working on. Know that achieving *anything* you desire is possible with this HGW episode. It’s infused with magic—and so are you. 

The Magic Behind Saying No - Tips for Recovering People Pleasers

Welcome to this week’s episode, where we dive into the art and empowerment of saying “no” and leaving behind the exhausting world of people-pleasing. This episode unpacks why "no" doesn’t mean shutting everything out; instead, it's about filtering out what drains you and holding space for what truly lights you up. If you’ve ever felt obligated by a “should” or compelled to make others happy at your expense, this conversation is for you.

This conversation highlights how making these changes leads to saying a profound “yes” to your own goals, desires, and values. It’s a way to welcome in what aligns with your vision and let go of what doesn’t. We’ll explore tips for setting clear boundaries, defining minimum standards, and embracing the power of the pause—so you’re not making decisions on impulse.

Join us in this episode if you’re ready to ditch scarcity thinking, make space for what truly matters, and finally stop betraying yourself.

Prioritise Yourself and the World Will Prioritise You.

"Always put your story first". 

I've never forgotten these words shared by one of my closest friends, Livi, a few years back. They landed so heavily because I have struggled so intimately with frequently placing myself in the supporting role in my relationships. Helping others is what I thrive on; however, there are days when I can barely get out of bed as I feel so drained. In this episode, I cover energy leaks, and we dissect where you could be placing others first at the detriment of yourself. We cover the juicy subconscious reasons you might be struggling with putting others' happiness over your own, how to re-write this story, and what you will experience when you do so. I talk about the benefits of changing this pattern and what triggers you will notice if you are stuck in it. This is the perfect episode for anyone hiding from their truth, who fears being seen and is afraid to step into their power and own who they are (as well as for all my people pleasers, of course!)

Discipline - Take Responsibility for Your Life and Change It.

A close friend of mine, Amber, said to me recently, "We get to choose our hard." This podcast is here to help you make the hard choices. It is time to stop making excuses and get into the driver's seat of your life. So often, we spend our lives blaming others for our choices instead of taking complete accountability for what is showing up in our path. In this episode, I help you begin your journey towards changing your behavior to cultivate success and help you feel empowered to take the aligned action in favor of your dreams. We go through tips, tricks, and personal experiences to allow you to move the needle and shift your perspective truly. I believe discipline is the number one key to getting what you want, and I intend to help you unlock that door.
