Solo episodes have been few and far between this year, but Sydney hops on the mic solo this week to talk about a topic that’s been coming up a lot lately: how to reconnect to our joy this summer.
As the world opens up more we’ve been having a lot of conversations about how we can reconnect and sustain our joy. How do we strike a balance between going back into the world, seeing friends and family again, with maintaining our own self-care, boundaries, and joy?
In today’s solo episode, Sydney shares what’s been working for her, how she's been navigating this time, and her top tisp for how we can continue to support ourselves. Want a hint? It starts with reflecting on what we’ve loved about the last year and giving ourselves grace.

Dolores Hirschmann, an internationally recognized strategist & coach who helps clients clarify their “idea worth sharing”, design their communication strategies, and implement business growth systems, joins Sydney to chat about a lesson she's learned in shifting our mindset from I CANT to I CAN.
We dive into why shifting our mindset often starts with clarifying our message, how we can begin to shift our mindset around our belief in ourselves and what we’re capable of, and why bridging the gap between I CANT and I CAN means starting small and finding the fun. Dolores reflections, honesty, and vulnerability will leave you feeling inspired, and remind you that when we give ourselves permission to believe in what’s possible, we can shape our mindset, thoughts and beliefs and ultimately attract the solutions, situations, resources you are seeking to achieve your goals.

We dive into why we often struggle with allowing ourselves to rest and practice self-care that serves us, how we can begin to develop greater self-trust and why it's sometimes difficult to maintain, the connection between boundaries and rest, and why boundaries are so important. Plus, Meghan shares her top tips for setting good boundaries with yourself, your rest, and self-care, how we can continue to nurture ourselves while maintaining our connections, and how greater rest leads to greater joy.

Chef Amber, entrepreneur, spiritually-led chef, author, and owner of two restaurants known as The Source Café in Hermosa and Manhattan Beach, California, joins Sydney for a conversation on holistic living, and how we can use food to nourish us mind, body and soul.
From Chef Amber's rock bottom that led to her spiritual awakening, her mission and passion to facilitate a paradigm shift through food, tips and tools for nourishing our mind, body and soul (hint: it all starts with allowing yourself to slow down), to what opening the second location of The Source Café in the middle of the pandemic taught Chef Amber about staying in faith and trust as opposed to fear, our new episode is jam packed with nourishment, connection, and a whole lot of inspiration.

Jessica Soares joins us to share a lesson she’s learned about overcoming the fear of success and why all fear can be distilled down to the fear of losing love. Jessica shares why the fear of failure and the fear of success are linked, the connection between perception and receiving love, why trust and faith are the direct opposite of fear, and the role of self-sovereignty in transforming our mindset and limiting beliefs.
Jessica’s reflections, honesty, and vulnerability will leave you feeling inspired, and remind you that we are so much powerful than we believe, and that we can step into our greatness. Ultimately, we can transform what we believe is limiting us into our most expansive beliefs, and ultimately it’s up to us to empower ourselves through our journey.
Jessica Soares is an empowerment and self-sovereignty coach and tarot reader specializing in holding space for people who are ready to live a life by design and not default. She is passionate about helping individuals go from feeling lackluster, lost and stifled by life to feeling empowered, confident and liberated from the ties that bind us. Sweaty dance floors are her church and she believes that ice cream should be mandatory daily consumption.
