In this solo episode, your host Felicia contemplates a pattern that sneaks into even the most self-aware lives: the habit of taking things soooo seriously that we squeeze the joy right out of them.
As a professional bowler preparing for her fifth season on the women's tour, she noticed something in a pattern: despite all the practice, all the mental prep ... the excitement was gone! That moment of honest reflection cracked something open.
This episode is your invitation to release the pressure, reconnect to your authentic self, and remember why you started: in bowling, in business, in anything that matters to you. Because when you're clinging to a specific outcome, you're actually operating from scarcity. And scarcity cuts off flow.

✨ A guided meditation exercise to shift from pressure and grasping into a state of grounded joy and openness
✨ Why small moments of joy collected throughout the day add up to a life that genuinely feels alive
