Get Out of Your Own Way & Cultivate a Life of Truth

In this episode, I’m sharing something that’s been seven years in the making. I recorded this one from the desert to emphasize what happens when you give yourself the gift of space - not just an escape from the mundane or the chaotic, but a chance to actually slow down, reflect, and pinpoint where you may be living in survival mode. I know I did for longer than I needed to. We talk about what operating in hyper-vigilance does to your system, your mind, and your reality and how to shift into feeling safe and calm. We unpack how I’ve personally been reclaiming my energy, starting with who gets access to it - physically, mentally, and even digitally. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly treading water, this one’s for you. It’s possible that you no longer need to claw your way out, but instead are standing on the beautiful foundation you built. Here are the Highlights:(00:58) Hello from Joshua Tree(04:58) The hamster wheel of hyper-vigilance (09:03) Overwhelm and living from the sidelines(20:03) The weakest phrase you can ever use(22:48) Understanding the value of pausing our efforts (33:12) Identifying energy leaks allowing access to ourselves (34:23)A social media exercise that will change your lifeResources:Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WINTER15Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
