This is your call to turn away from the mirrors that trap you and choose the ones that finally set you free.


Is your reflection an accurate picture or is it coloured by past failures, old wounds, or the opinions of others?

In this todays podcast episode, we explore the profound idea that the most important reflections aren’t seen in glass at all, but in the eyes of other people. Learning to read them is the key to knowing ourselves better.

This journey begins in an unexpected setting of a kindergarten classroom. My first day of school, where a moment of childhood observation planted a seed of understanding that would take decades to fully blossom. This early experience of sitting alone, separate from the others, highlights a lifelong theme of hyper-independence and underscores why rare moments of true, external reflection and connection are necessary for our growth.

Powerful encounters with new friends, Happy Potter & The Philosophers Stone and a trip to the Fun House of Mirrors all inform this Podcast.

The heart of this story lies in highlighting a crucial skill: the ability to discern a true, life-affirming reflection from a harmful projection. Someone else’s fears, insecurities, and limitations or a true reflection which resonates with our inner knowing. Validating our growth and illuminating our potential, even when it’s challenging to hear.

This episode is a collection of stories and a practical guide to mastering the art of discernment. By learning to identify and embrace the reflections that empower us, we can take control of our own realities, ensuring we are walking a path of our own making, not one we have been funneled down by others.

Listen to the full episode to discover how to choose the mirrors that will help you see more of the reflection of who you really are.
