   The Fear of Being Seen Trying: Overcoming Judgment and Self-Doubt

   What if the fear of being judged is the very thing keeping you from pursuing your dreams? In this episode of Wild Enthusiasm for Living, I’m exploring the fear of being seen trying, the vulnerability of putting yourself out into the world, and why we often fear other people witnessing our failures more than failure itself. As I expand my own business, I’m sharing a personal experience that reminded me how easily we can get caught up in what others might think. Together, we’ll explore the fear of judgment, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to prove ourselves while learning to separate our self-worth from our results. I’ll also share practical ways to regulate your nervous system, navigate uncomfortable emotions, and build the courage to take action even when you don’t feel ready. Whether you’re starting a business, pursuing a creative passion, considering a career change, or finally admitting what you truly want, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need anyone else’s permission to begin. Your dreams don’t have to be perfect to be worth pursuing. Sometimes, growth begins with one small step and a willingness to be seen trying.

   Spiritual Awakening, Psychic Abilities & Intuition: Embracing Your Spiritual Gifts

   What if the parts of you that you’ve spent years hiding are actually your greatest gifts? In this episode of the Wild Enthusiasm for Living podcast, I’m joined by my dear friend Tara Micic of Golden Sage Healing to talk about psychic abilities, spiritual awakening, intuition, and what it means to finally embrace who you truly are. Tara shares her personal journey from feeling like the “weird kid” who could see, hear, and sense things others couldn’t, to discovering her gifts as a medium, energy reader, and tarot and oracle reader. We explore her experiences with astral travel, how tarot became a powerful tool for receiving intuitive messages, and how her spiritual journey helped her heal old wounds, reconnect with herself, and find a sense of belonging. We also talk about trusting your intuition, recognizing signs and synchronicities, working through your shadow, and why slowing down and connecting with nature can help you hear what’s possible beyond the noise of everyday life. Most importantly, Tara shares why you don’t have to navigate spiritual experiences alone and how embracing the parts of yourself you once feared can open the door to a more authentic, fulfilling life. If you’re curious about psychic abilities, exploring your own spiritual gifts, or learning to feel more comfortable being unapologetically yourself, this conversation is for you. Because wild enthusiasm for living begins when you stop trying to fit in and give yourself permission to be more of YOU. More about Tara: Tara Micic is a Medium, Energy Reader, Certified Spiritual Coach, and Tarot/Oracle reader. She has had paranormal and psychic experiences from the time she was a small child. Tara is dedicated to helping others gain confidence and clarity, providing spiritual guidance, and being a safe place to land in an otherwise chaotic world. In her free moments, you can find her spending time with her son, her mom, and her friends, reading, practicing witchcraft, and falling down various rabbit holes. She lives in Illinois with her son and her feline familiar, Lola.

   What If You Change Your Mind? Manifestation, Vision Boards & Trusting What’s Next

   What if the thing you thought you wanted… isn’t what you want anymore? In this episode of Wild Enthusiasm for Living, I’m talking about something I think we all need more permission to do: change our minds. I started this year with a very clear vision of what I thought I wanted: keynote speaking, certain trips, certain experiences, and a very specific picture of what 2026 was going to look like. Then, life happened. I bought a building. I completed yoga teacher training. I discovered sound healing. My priorities shifted. My relationship with being seen and having my voice heard changed. And suddenly, I realized that what I thought I wanted wasn’t necessarily what I wanted anymore. So… did I manifest wrong? Or did I actually receive something greater? We’re talking about manifestation, vision boards, intuition, personal growth, and what happens when the life you’re creating doesn’t look like the picture you originally imagined, but somehow carries the exact energy you were asking for. I’m sharing why I put “this or something better” on my vision boards, how I’ve learned to recognize when something is no longer congruent with who I am, and why changing your mind doesn’t mean you’re giving up on your dreams. I also share a manifestation practice I recently returned to: “I remember when…” a simple way to help your brain, body, and nervous system begin experiencing something as already solved instead of constantly operating from a place of lack. We’ll explore: Why changing your mind isn’t failure, flakiness, or giving up What happens when your desires evolve as you grow How your vision board may be working, even when your life looks nothing like the pictures Why “this or something better” can create space for possibilities you couldn’t have imagined How to recognize when a dream is still yours versus when it belongs to an older version of you The connection between manifestation, nervous-system regulation, and feeling safe enough to receive Why relationships, careers, businesses, and other dreams sometimes stop being a match How to use the “I remember when…” manifestation practice How to look back at the year and recognize what actually did manifest What you might truly desire for the next chapter of your life As we move toward the end of 2026 and begin thinking about 2027, I’m inviting you to pause before you start creating the next vision board and ask yourself: What do I actually want now? Not what you said you wanted last year. Not what you told everyone you were going to do. Not what you think you should want. What do you truly desire now? Sometimes the greatest manifestation isn’t getting the exact thing you asked for. Sometimes it’s becoming someone who wants something completely different, and realizing that life was conspiring for you all along. If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs permission to change their mind, and please consider leaving a five-star review. It means so much to me. And remember: you are allowed to want something different. You are allowed to change your mind. And you are allowed to trust that something even better may be unfolding.
