Annaliese and Alan dive into the power of rediscovering what you love and creating more moments in your days where you truly feel like yourself. Annaliese shares why revisiting childhood joys or exploring your interests—without dismissing them as unimportant—is a key part of living authentically, feeling empowered, and making life more meaningful.

• How adulthood often shifts our focus to productivity, obligations, and efficiency—leaving little room for creativity, joy, and exploration. Prioritizing what lights you up (instead of just consuming content on social media or TV) helps you reconnect with what you’re made for.

• Noticing signs you might be losing yourself—feeling drained, stuck, or like something’s missing. What sparks your curiosity? Are you making choices based on people-pleasing or what you can tell you actually enjoy or find interesting?

• The importance of allowing creative or experiential activities to be imperfect, inefficient, or outside your control. Recognizing and breaking unhelpful self-imposed rules is key to personal growth. Strengthen your confidence through inner validation by telling yourself: “This standard isn’t working for me anymore—I give myself permission to explore and enjoy this in my own way.”

1. Slow down physically when you feel rushed. A slow body invites a clear brain. This will help you notice what truly catches your attention—things that are beautiful, inspiring, or just things you appreciate. What if these were things to explore and spend more time in?

2. Appreciate and love yourself in real time. When you laugh or react uniquely, savor the moment! Acknowledging your own, natural responses and and valuing them builds confidence and deepens your life satisfaction.
