I'd like to take you on an introspective journey inspired by a recent eye doctor appointment with my mother. When we came across a humorous sequence of letters on the vision chart, what began as a normal exam became a source of pure joy. My mom’s laughter was contagious, and it reminded me of the energy we assign to the little things in life.

Some moments trigger humor, while others may bring stress—but the choice of how we perceive them is always ours.

In this episode, we’ll slow down for a wise walk and ask ourselves important questions to explore how we can turn triggers into opportunities for growth, laughter, and connection.

• Are there situations in your life, or words or phrases, that trigger you positively or negatively?

• What energy are you assigning to those things?

• Do you have the opportunity to reevaluate and ask why they trigger you?

• Can you shift that energy and see them from a different perspective?

• Are there qualities or characteristics people call out about you?

• Have those comments ever triggered you negatively because they challenged your sense of normalcy?

• Are you still allowing their energy to define how you see those qualities?

• Can you thank someone for acknowledging a unique part of you and embrace it as a strength?

• Is there an opportunity to make peace with those qualities, assign them positive energy, and appreciate your uniqueness?

• Are there things, words, people, or places that once held a negative connotation for you?

• Is there an opportunity to see them from a different, unique perspective?

• Can you free yourself from past associations so they no longer hold power over you?

• Where can you find the positive light and assign a radiant new perspective to those things or situations?

Thank you for joining me today. My wish for you as you stride forward is to hold good intentions in your heart, assign energies that uplift you, and embrace the clarity and awareness that supports your journey. I’d love to hear what resonated with you from today’s episode.

I’ll see you next Thursday for another Wise Walk, so be sure to tune in. Until then, prioritize fun, read the signs, direct your path, and get your stride on!

In this episode:

[04:06] The different meanings or energetic values we place on things. When I was young I would get triggered when people said certain things about me, but now I embrace my differences.

[05:36] We don't have to assign that energy if we don't want to. We can reframe how we think about things.

[06:10] We don't have to accept other people's negative vibes as our own. I love the idea of being intentional about the energy we assign things.

[09:07] We don't have to assign negative energy to things from our past. For instance, some people are triggered by flowers because of the negative connotation of receiving them when someone's apologizing.

[11:25] Our state of mind can also affect how we assign energy.

[12:21] Show up with a high vibration in order to receive positive messages.

[13:40] Be aware of the energy that you are projecting.

[16:16] Think about where we can reassign energy and meaning to things that might not be said with the right intention.

Have you ever had a moment in life when everything just seemed to fall into place at exactly the right time? Growing up, I was raised with the belief that while hard work and putting yourself out there are essential, there’s also this beautiful necessity to stay open and receptive to the right timing from the Universe.

Divine timing is about alignment, that perfect synergy of purpose, path, and timing, a belief that things unfold just as they should, exactly when they’re meant to.

In this episode, we’re slowing down for a Wise Walk, taking a moment to pause, check our realities, and explore the magic that unfolds when we stay open to the idea that there’s a time for everything. Together, we’ll ask ourselves questions to help us recognize and honor the moments when life aligns beautifully and unexpectedly in our favor.

• Do you believe in divine timing?

• Do you trust that everything happens at the perfect time?

• Can you hold space for this idea in your life?

• Are you able to stay present while taking steps toward what you hold in your heart?

• Can you release the expectation of when things will happen?

• And can you allow the stars to align, trusting divine timing to bring the right things, people, and opportunities at the perfect moment?

• When was the last time you truly wanted something?

• Even if it didn’t happen as quickly as you hoped, did it eventually come to be?

• When it did, was the timing better than you could have planned?

• As you reflect on that experience, how amazing did it feel to finally receive it?

• Did you love it even more because you realized how precious it was?

• How is your energy lately?

• Are you able to honor this idea of divine timing to put your energy and intentions out there?

This Wise Walk reminds me of the importance of releasing control and allowing things to unfold naturally. Thank you for holding space for us to reflect and gain awareness on each and every episode.

I'd love to hear your stories of how divine timing brought something magical into your life—something you've been holding in your heart. As we move through the holidays and into next year, let's continue to honor our energy, hold space for divine timing, and see what's truly possible.

In this episode:

[02:42] I share a story about my aunt and her beautiful German Shepherd puppy.

[03:41] My aunt was trying to get a companion for her puppy and ended up getting kicked off her plane.

[05:03] She was extremely brave and acknowledged that this new puppy wasn't the right fit. The Universe literally got her kicked off the plane with this puppy.

[06:14] She ended up getting offered a puppy that was actually the perfect fit.

[07:52] It just so happened that I had travel booked to where the puppy was.

[08:50] When the stars align, and you create space in your calendar, the Universe has the opportunity to bring in what truly matters to you.

[10:36] This whole experience has been a great reminder for me about how the Universe has our back.

[13:11] I'm super excited about flying to Austin tomorrow, and the breeder is going to meet me at the airport.

[14:10] I love that I get to see my aunt and pick up her baby girl. Then the weekend is all about me and my dear friend.

[14:35] This has been a beautiful reminder that the most important thing we carry is our energy.
