Welcome to the very first episode of This Rad Life, Unfiltered — the off-the-cuff, behind-the-scenes audio companion to my cult-favorite email pep talk. This week, I’m bringing you a story that starts with a dream surf trip I manifested… and ends with a sprained ankle and a massive lesson on receiving.
If you’re someone who’s great at giving, holding it all together, and DIY-ing everything in your life or business — but feels awkward or guilty when it comes to accepting help — this one’s for you.
We’re diving into the energetics of receiving, why this one overlooked skill might be blocking your abundance, and how learning to say “yes, thank you” with grace can change everything — from your income to your energy to your everyday joy.
This isn’t just a story about surfing. It’s about learning to stop over-functioning, start receiving more ease, and let your business support you for once.
