One of the primary goals of this podcast, dearest listeners, is to empower you. And today, I want to lovingly remind you of how powerful you are. How under any circumstance, like Marcus Aurelius wrote, you can get a hold of yourself quickly and get back into rhythm when you decide to. I have news for you, friend. You are the super hero of your life. You are the main character. The star. The hero or the heroine. What you do next is completely up to you. You can feel defeated and let life pass you...

What is unconditional love? And what does it look like? For most of my life, I thought I knew the answer to this, but recently, I’ve been rethinking what unconditional love really is. For so long and for so many, the concept of unconditional love has been equated with an extreme version of “turning the other cheek.” But for those of us who keep turning that cheek, this doesn’t really feel like love. It feels more like a one-sided relationship. And for those who expect us to keep turning that che...

Are you allowing fear to rule your life? Do you see friends and loved ones crippled by it? In these uncertain times, I’m seeing fear become the norm more and more. It doesn’t have to be this way though. We can choose to rise above it and to make decisions that resonate with truth - that leave us with a sense of peace instead of unrest. We are so powerful, and collectively, we can shift the tides to more empowered times. CONNECT WITH JACLYN: + Website: jaclynsteele.com + Instagram: @jaclynsteele ...

Fear has been a topic of many of my conversations lately. It's in our homes, it's in our heads, its pretty much everywhere we look right now. And it's not surprising why. The tragedy of our military exit from Afghanistan, Hurricane Ida in Louisiana, the earthquake in Haiti, the floods in New York, an international pandemic, mandates and perceived lack of mandates about the Covid vaccine, global warming, pretty much everything main stream media airs, you get the idea. Fear is powerfully and palpa...

Alright friends. It has been over a year since Sam and I decided to sell our house, most of our belongings, and hit the road in an RV. We made the decision to do so at the end of May in 2020. I did a podcast episode on that decision here . Since then, a lot has happened. Like a LOT. And even more that I'll get to at some point. However, from the perspective and experience I have now, I thought it would be fun to review what I loved and loathed about our 10 month RV adventure. And, if you've been...

Being a human is not for the faint of heart. It's dense of beautiful and joy-filled and scary and all the things. Each of us hold every single possibility for the human experience within ourselves. It's unrealistic to think that we should be happy all the time. Where's the growth in that? Where's the stretching of our character? Fire, heat, drought, - they have a way of returning you to the purity of what is important and what really matters. That’s what this episode is all about. PRODUCTS MENTI...

We say we want to grow… but do we really? Deep down, I believe we do, but something happens as we start to expand: we experience discomfort. Sometimes very deep discomfort. In today’s episode, I’m normalizing the discomfort that accompanies personal growth and expansion. If we can view this part as temporary, and as a teacher here to impart an essential lesson, then our personal growth can throttle forward exponentially. The key is to lean in instead of give up.
