What lights you up? When was the last time you actually stopped to ask yourself that question, and really listened to the answer?

Somewhere between the responsibilities, expectations, challenges, and everyday demands of life, it's easy to lose touch with the part of ourselves that feels truly alive. But what if your inner spark hasn't gone anywhere? What if it's simply waiting for you to reconnect with it?

We're talking with Stephanie James, psychotherapist, transformational coach, author, filmmaker, speaker, and spiritual seeker, about what it really means to live a life filled with more joy, meaning, connection, and possibility.

Through her work and her own personal journey, Stephanie has discovered that reconnecting with ourselves doesn't necessarily require a dramatic life overhaul. In this conversation, Stephanie shares practical ways to navigate anxiety, release emotions that may be keeping us stuck, quiet the stories we tell ourselves, and make our own well-being a priority, without the guilt.

She also takes us into some fascinating spiritual territory, sharing personal experiences that have shaped her understanding of life, death, and the possibility that our connections with the people we love continue beyond this physical world.

And here's what we love most: Even though Stephanie explores some of life's biggest mysteries in her latest book, Your Big Fat Juicy Life, her message is ultimately about how we choose to live right now.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• What your inner spark really is
• How life's experiences, expectations, and limiting beliefs can disconnect us from our true selves
• Simple breathing and heart-centered practices to help you reconnect with yourself
• How to move through anxiety and difficult emotions without letting them define you
• Why prioritizing yourself isn't selfish, it's essential
• The stories we tell ourselves and how to recognize when they may no longer be true
• Stephanie's personal spiritual experiences and what they've taught her about life, death, and connection
• What it actually means to live your own big, fat, juicy life
