If you’ve ever felt frustrated by people shouting “Just start!” like that’s helpful (spoiler: it isn’t), this episode is your permission slip to try something different.
We’re tossing out the rulebook and running our own experiments in joy — with curiosity, wonder, and a whole lot of permission to play. In this episode, I’ll teach you my S.P.A.R.K.L.E. system: a playful, step-by-step method to tap back into your inner knowing and figure out what actually works for you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in perfectionism, procrastination, or plain old autopilot, this episode will help you gently experiment your way back to feeling good — no rigid rules required.
Plus, I’m sharing some wonderfully weird experiments you can try today (think: snack rituals, talking to your mug, and doing things backward on purpose). Because joy is not supposed to be serious.

You have to feel good to do good. Let’s go sparkle. ✨
