"Knowing how to restore and having tools to bring us back to our truth allows us to be human & connect."
It's such a treat and a pleasure to bring you Jacki Carr today on the podcast!
Jacki is a goal coach and co-founder of Rock Your Bliss and she's one of those people who just speaks my language. I knew that from the moment I first met her that she was someone I definitely wanted to learn from. She's got that magnetic personality and the truth bombs that really make you lean in and listen.
In this divine episode, we talk about the soulful side of goal setting. We deep dive on trusting the timing of your life, what to do when goals aren't working out and the concept of being attached versus committed to your visions. Jacki also shares her practice of spiritual surrender and letting go when it comes to goals and how being fluid and flowing with your life vision is the only way to do it.
Jacki also shares the bliss work and why we block love and light out of our lives. We chat about clearing old stories and getting really honest and true about what old narratives we are still playing out in the present.
I've so loved learning from Jacki Carr over the last few years and it's such a delight to share her radiant light and wisdom with you. So tune in and grab your notebook - Jacki has all sorts of golden nuggets in this episode!
