Episode #19: New Year Intentions: The one question to ask yourself

Welcome back to The Fully Expressed Podcast with Karenna, where we dive deep into what it means to live a life true to ourselves. As we stand on the brink of 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect and set intentions that resonate with our deepest desires and aspirations. This episode is about finding what makes us feel most alive and how to infuse that into every aspect of our lives. In today’s episode, we explore the significance of being present and embracing each moment, whether filled with joy, challenges, or introspection. Karenna shares her journey of the past year: self-discovery, reflection, and being in the moment. She talks about the importance of acknowledging our emotions, experiences, and the little things that light up our lives. The discussion delves into how setting intentions, rather than rigid goals, can lead to a more fulfilling and less pressured life. Karenna emphasizes the power of intention setting in various aspects of life – relationships, business, and personal growth. The approach is about being open to life’s experiences and adapting as we go, always focusing on what makes us feel truly alive.
