Tiny Awakenings Podcast
Welcome to Tiny Awakenings! This podcast was created to share the many small growth points or 'aha moments' my guests and I have had to become more authentically close to our highest selves. This show comprises Tiny Awakenings, short unedited verbal journals, and Not So Tiny Awakenings, long guest episodes. Although these 'Tiny Awakenings' are unedited they hold outcomes, solutions, long-lasting impressions, and new ways of thinking. Sooo expect less of the juicy gossip and sad stories and more of what led me to hope, to growth... and to new tiny awakenings. Follow me on IG @tiny.awakenings to connect with me & she what's coming up!
