Hi Reader,

I’m excited to share my latest podcast episode with you! I recently sat down with Marcy Axelrod, author of How We Choose to Show Up, for a conversation that honestly changed the trajectory of my entire day.

Do you ever feel like you’re on a treadmill? You’re working hard, posting on social media, and trying to get that promotion or launch that book, but you feel burned out and hollow? Marcy explains that this “By Me” mode is actually a mechanical way of living that keeps us stuck in the past.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The Three Levels of Showing Up: Why 80% of us are stuck in the “orange” zone of just going through the motions.
  • The Neuroscience of Flow: How to switch to “Right Hemisphere” living to feel more present and connected.
  • Why Mindset Isn’t Enough: Why true change has to be a lived, embodied experience.
  • The Self-Reflective World: How your energy designs the world that shows up for you.

One of my favorite quotes from Marcy was: “Level two is ‘just showing up’—that vast no-man’s land between being barely there and truly showing up. It is a danger zone.”

P.S. If you enjoy the episode, I’d love if you could leave a review and share it with someone who might be feeling a little “Level 2” today. We all need the reminder to truly show up!
