#1 Breadcrumbs to Enchantment: Connecting Life to Your Core Values

In this very first episode episode, we are joined by Rachel Gilbertson to talk about intuition, creativity, and connection. We discuss the importance of being present, core values, and how those values shape their lives. Rachel shares insights from her recently published journal, “Aligned Enchantment,” and their mutual experiences in creating and following intuitive nudges. The episode emphasizes the value of reflection, intentional action, and nurturing personal growth. 

Takeaways:

  • Rachel’s core values are intuition, creativity, and connection, which require presence to access and implement
  • Small actions and “breadcrumbs” of curiosity can lead to significant personal growth and alignment with core values
  • Rachel’s book “Aligned Enchantment” emerged organically from a 100-day creative project, embodying her core values
  • Slowing down and creating space for presence is crucial for accessing intuition and deeper wisdom

#12 The Reckoning and The Rising: Finding Clarity, Courage & Community in Chaos

During a recent YWCA board meeting, I felt the weight of a shared truth—fear and stress are pressing in on all of us. I see it. I feel it. And I refuse to let it have the final say. In times like these, we need spaces that ground us, connect us, and remind us of our own power. That’s why I’m answering the call, stepping into the storm as a light for those who need it. One way I’m doing that is by opening a space every Wednesday night—an open writing group where we can show up, find connection, and turn fear into fuel. We don’t have to do this alone.
