I\u2019m doing something I\u2019ve never done before: a completely unscripted podcast episode. That\u2019s right\u2026no topic picked out, no prepared thoughts and no clue which direction it\u2019ll head in. \xa0So buckle up because my foot is on the gas but I have no destination in mind.\nConsider this the think out loud episode, the stream of consciousness episode, the trust my gut episode. I share the behind the scenes of book launch, the successes and (holy shit) the challenges. How my personal challenges and the spectacular screw ups on the publishing side have left me feeling, quite frankly, numb. How I defaulted to old patterns and behaviors and how it\u2019s taken a huge toll on me and has left me feeling out of balance.\nSo right now I\u2019m pausing, taking a step back, releasing control, listening, getting quiet, creating space for my inner knowing to speak. I don\u2019t know where this is going to take me, but I\u2019m trusting that it\u2019s necessary.\nLet\u2019s trust ourselves firmly and boldly, and then see what we create from here.\nTo learn more about what we are up to outside of this podcast, visit us at NicoleKalil.com.
