What if body awareness was about more than stretching? Join Rhonda as she guides you to reconnect with your body, uncover the places where comfort ends and growth begins, and practice self-love—right here, right now. Discover why tuning in to your physical self is the first brave step to fearless living.

Today, I want to invite you into a simple practice of body awareness—where standing up, reaching for your toes, or even just listening to your own stretch can reveal so much. Whether you can touch the floor or only reach your knees, it's not the distance that matters. It's the courage to notice: Where am I comfortable? Where do I want to grow?

In this episode, I share my own journey with flexibility, disconnection, and learning (over and over) to come home to my body. We’ll explore why connection isn’t a single achievement, but a daily practice—and how even “looking in the mirror and saying ‘I love you’” can be the biggest stretch of all.

If you've ever longed to feel safer, softer, and kinder in your own skin, this episode is your invitation to go easy, be gentle, and start fresh with the body you have right now.

What You’ll Discover

• Why stretching isn’t just physical—it can be emotional, mental, or spiritual
• The meaning of “stretch, risk, or die” and how it applies to your relationship with your body
• How to identify your own comfort zones—and gently explore beyond them
• The power of noticing instead of comparing when it comes to body practices
• How self-love can start with the smallest gesture, from touching your toes to looking in the mirror
• A gentle reminder: connection with your body is a lifelong date, not a one-time event

Key Takeaway

The real journey isn’t about how far you can stretch—it’s about how much you’re willing to listen to and honor your own body, right where you are.

Key Quote

"It's not about whether you touch your toes or not—it's about how much you stretch. How comfortable are you in your body?"

What if you stopped comparing your timeline to everyone else’s—and began honoring the way you change, heal, and grow? In this episode, Rhonda shares why trusting your individual process is the key to lasting transformation, self-love, and freedom from overwhelm.

Today, I invite you to step off the perfection rollercoaster and embrace the truth: your process is uniquely yours, and there’s nothing wrong with it—no matter how long it takes.

I share my own stories—the five years it took me to quit drinking, the book I’ve been dancing with for a decade, and the gentle lessons learned from saying no before yes. Together, we’ll explore how judgment, shame, and rushing only keep us stuck, while self-compassion and curiosity create real, aligned change.

If you’ve ever questioned, “Why is this taking me so long? Why am I not further ahead?”—this conversation is your invitation to honor your pace. Growth isn’t a race or a contest. It’s your soulful journey home to yourself.

1. Why your process doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s (and why that’s a gift)
2. The power of self-compassion in making real change, instead of self-judgment
3. How to recognize if you’re avoiding or just moving at your own authentic pace
4. Practical ways to reflect on your unique style of growth and decision-making
5. How gentle awareness can shift self-talk, boost self-esteem, and move you forward

Gentleness with yourself is the only path that leads you home. Your process is enough—and so are you.

“Talking poorly to yourself, putting yourself down, thinking it should be faster, quicker, better, does not support you to process and, or stop avoiding—it actually increases it for most people. So if you are gentle with yourself as you're going through either of those things… you are going to get to the answer faster, quicker, and more aligned with who you really are.”

What if you didn’t have to choose between being wealthy and being poor, or being in love and being alone? In this episode, Rhonda Britten brings warmth and wisdom to the heart of paradox—revealing why true freedom comes not from fighting opposing truths, but from embracing them fully.

Today, I want to explore the mystery of paradox—and how it can unlock freedom and peace in every part of your life. This episode was inspired by a listener’s question I realized I hadn’t answered fully yet. We’ll dive into what paradox really means: why two seemingly opposite things can both be true at the same time, and how accepting both sides leads to real wholeness.

I’ll share simple, real-life examples—wealth and poverty, love and aloneness—to show how fear keeps us stuck chasing what we want and rejecting what we don’t. You’ll learn that embracing both sides (even the ones that scare you!) is the key to bringing your whole self into every endeavor and relationship. If you crave true freedom, this episode offers a gentle invitation to let go of the either/or mindset and discover the sweet spot where both/and can exist.

What You’ll Discover

1. Why paradox means both sides of the story are true—and how that changes everything
2. How chasing only what you want (and avoiding what you fear) keeps you trapped
3. The reason embracing the possibility of poverty is essential to becoming truly wealthy
4. Why being willing to be alone allows you to experience deeper love
5. How living inside the paradox creates space for your full, whole self
6. Simple practices to help you accept the entire range of your experience—from abundance to lack, intimacy to solitude

Key Takeaway

True freedom comes from embracing both sides of your story—not just chasing one or running from the other. When you live in the paradox, wholeness becomes possible.

Key Quote

“A paradox means that two opposing things are both true. If you can live in the paradox—‘I want an intimate, loving relationship and I’m okay being alone’—that is true freedom.”
