Happy Sacred Sunday!
In The Joy of Success, Susan Ford Collins writes: “Like a computer, your brain has a FindCommand.” She’s referring to the Reticular Activating System (RAS), the incredible network in our brainstem that filters sensory information, prioritizing what’s most important to us. It helps us regulate attention, awareness, and goal-directed behavior.
Well, let me tell you, every month when I choose a theme, my RAS seems to light up, helping me find that theme everywhere and in everything!
Ever since I chose “SHIFT” as the theme for January, I’ve been noticing the word everywhere—Instagram posts, books I’m reading, podcasts I’m listening to—it’s such a fascinating experience!
This week, I’ve been reflecting deeply on a major shift I made in my life: in the arena of spirituality.
Some shifts can be sudden and abrupt, others are slow and subtle. The shift in my language and perspective as it relates to spirituality has been the latter.
It’s been quite a journey, and one that I am grateful for, because it has allowed me to explore so many different possibilities, expand my perspectives, and connect with conflicting theories.
I first wrote about this shift back in 2018 in my blog post, Do you believe in magic? , but the journey neither started nor ended there.

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing where I stand now on my spiritual path and how the shifts I’ve made have profoundly shaped the way I experience this life.
That’s the power of shifting. When you change your direction, focus, or attitude, your RAS aligns with that shift, bringing extraordinary results. It’s also why mindset is such a powerful tool—it’s easy to unknowingly activate your RAS in ways that lead you away from your desires through subtle language or subconscious behaviors.
But when we shift intentionally? The results can be awe-inspiring.
Tune in to this week’s podcast for a raw and personal tell-all episode. I hope that it offers you both a moment of insight and an opportunity for reflection.
Sending you so much love on this sacred Sunday.
