Episode Highlight From Last Week:

“Tariffs For Your Life: The Hidden Costs That Shape Us” Last week’s powerful episode hits deep. We unpacked the silent “tariffs” we all pay—those emotional, spiritual, and mental tolls that drain our peace, dim our joy, and delay our purpose. Whether it’s people-pleasing, guilt, comparison, or unhealed trauma, these hidden costs are silently shaping your life. But here’s the good news: You don’t have to keep paying. In this powerful solo episode, I walk you through how to recognize your personal tariffs—and how to finally cancel the ones that no longer serve you. It’s time to stop overpaying for peace that’s already yours.
