Ep. 66: What 2025 Taught Us About Our Hearts vs Our Egos

This year taught us how to recognize when our ego was driving versus when our heart was leading. Sara spent the first half of the year wrapped up in performance, chasing money and success and notoriety, until she started asking herself "is this what my brain thinks I should want, or is this what my heart actually wants?" Marisa navigated building her business, hiring team, creating space for rest, only to realize she's been searching for stability in all the external things instead of finding it within herself. This episode is us reflecting on what 2025 taught us. How our egos got us to where we are (which is beautiful), and also how this year invited us to go deeper and discover what our hearts have been trying to tell us all along.🔥 In This Episode:The difference between building your life from ego (for protection and safety) versus building from your true selfHow comparing your current reality to what you think it should be keeps you from celebrating what's actually workingWhat it means to find internal stability instead of constantly looking for it in your business, your relationships, or your achievementsThe invitation to exist and trust instead of forcing outcomes, and why that's so fucking simple but not easy until you've journeyed through itIf you've been running hard all year and wondering why you still don't feel settled, this episode is your reminder to pause. Reflect on where you've been. Celebrate what's working. And stop measuring your life by metrics that were never meant for you in the first place.Mark Your Calendar: We're hosting another in-person HeartWork Leadership event March 12th and 13th!
