Do you ever just crave that pure, unadulterated joy? And do you ever create things throughout your day (and life in general) to welcome that in? Well girlfriend, you’re truly missing out if you’re not!

Last week’s Related recap was one hell of a catch up with Carli and I. Not only did we cover that chaos coming up in both our lives, but how we keep ourselves on track as best we can. Shit’s going to hit the fan, but it’s our responsibility to create space for what matters most- our non-negotiables, obligations, relaxation… ALL 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 THINGS 👏🏻

Reflecting amidst all the happenings of our lives really prompted us to open up the discussion of our inner child. Even in our thirties and with children, Carli and I know that our inner child is seeking fulfillment in life just as our present selves are. And that’s not special to us- EVERYONE has an intertwinement with their inner child.

How? Well, your inner child is most prominent when you’re doing something silly or fun! It can be as simple as dressing up, or making your favorite sweet (those are Carli and I’s fave ways lol). 

I believe it’s crucial to validate and express those childlike desires because it deepens our appreciation for pure happiness from a meaningful space. Not to mention, you can tap into the version of yourself and reflect on what conditioned beliefs or limitations you’re slowly unlearning!

Pretty cool, right?

Working with your inner child is just one of the many magical ways to keep yourself on a meaningful track towards ALIGNMENT! It’s important to remind ourselves that periods of life like this can happen, but it shouldn’t discourage us from persevering through it. 

Carli even mentioned her new phone app that guides her towards attacking small responsibilities + tasks with CONSISTENCY! Consistency is my absolute RIDE OR DIE when it comes to setting + getting my goals, especially when shit hits the fan.

Speaking of goals, did you know Mercury hit retrograde two days ago? If you’re feeling all kinds of whack, chances are you’re experiencing the energetic effects of this astrological transition. I share my insight into HOW you can prepare for Mercury retrograde at the end of this episode, because there’s many more in our future!

From inner child to inner work, May is THE month for some major expansion 🌟
