Ep. 35 | Stop Trying So Hard: Finding Your Way Back to Flow

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about the difference between contribution and flow — and what happens when we stop trying to earn our place in the rhythm of life.  I share a story about a weekend with my framily that reminded me how easily we interrupt generosity by feeling guilty for receiving — and how freedom and connection return when we let ourselves be carried.  We'll explore why overgiving blocks the natural current of love, how to practice receiving without guilt, and what it really means to trust life's flow. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life might you be interrupting the flow — and can you soften enough to let life carry you for a while?
