The Significance of Gratitude

Season 1: Episode 10

When I first started podcasting, my first five episodes ever were titled “The Grateful Showcase.” Each episode highlighted an online entrepreneur that I had come to admire and was actively following, I referred to them collectively as my Mental Advisory Board. This started an annual tradition and my annual gratitude practice. When I began this practice, I could have never imagined the significance it would play years later in my life. In this episode, I share with you the lesson that I have learned about the significance of gratitude. Our opportunities to express genuine gratitude should not be taken for granted. As you will hear, I learned the hard way that opportunities for gratitude are never guaranteed.

My Medical Qigong Story

Season 1: Episode 7

For the last year, as I have been slowly sharing how Medical Qigong has been changing my life, the one question that keeps coming up is, how exactly did Medical Qigong come into my life? To be honest, it’s a fair question. It’s not like I’ve been chatting about an interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine since I was a young girl and my recent sudden immersion into Eastern Philosophy justifies some sort of explanation. In this episode, I’ll share my winding path to Medical Qigong. My hope is that my path might inspire or affirm the one you currently are on. I know that sometimes amidst the uncertainty of how something exactly fits are also the times where we must embrace the belief in something bigger than ourselves. We need to trust to evolve, to grow.

I Still Don’t Trust Myself

In this episode,  I share with you a recent experience that gently reminded me that I still struggle with trusting myself. Despite all the personal and professional development over the last five years, I still cannot trust my intuitive guidance.
