About this episode

#227: Are you living or are you existing? Today, we’re getting back into our wellness girly roots with Peloton instructor Kirsten Ferguson for tips on how to take back control of your life, move through challenging pivots with grace, and learn to enjoy the process of becoming the best version of you.

Kirsten offers amazing advice on evolving alongside your purpose, taking your power back, and the importance of living instead of existing on autopilot.

  • Kirsten’s journey with fertility challenges and motherhood.
  • Why intention setting walks and creating personal anecdotes for yourself can be so powerful
  • The difference between living and existing

  • Taking pause seasons and ways to celebrate yourself during dark times
  • How to tap into purpose and figure out what you really love
