Some conversations remind us of something we already know but may have forgotten.

My conversation with Rae Ritke is one of those.
It’s about learning to listen a little differently—to ourselves, to our bodies, and to that quiet knowing we don’t always trust.

Because sometimes, when we get underneath all the noise, everything really does come back to the heart.

This week on The Healing Blueprint podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with my long time yoga teacher and friend, Jordan Lashley, as we explored the philosophy behind what many see as a physical practice.

One of the things I love about Jordan’s teaching is the reminder that who we are today isn’t necessarily who we were five, ten, or twenty years ago. We change. We grow. And sometimes we get far enough away from an old version of ourselves that we can look back at the things that once consumed us, the things we took so seriously, or even the ways we reacted to life—and laugh.

Not because that version of us was wrong, but because we can finally see just how much we’ve changed.

In this episode of The Healing Blueprint podcast, I talk with Brian Kraby about Tai Chi Gung, the connection between breath and energy, and what can happen when we slow down enough to become more aware of what we’re carrying.

Our conversation moves from the practice itself into how we navigate everyday life—the thoughts we hold onto, the things we take personally, and the ways we can create a little more space within ourselves.

Are you happy?

An interesting question, right… We often don’t ask or are asked that.

Do this, do that, and that will give you a good life, but how many people think about the quality of that life? Am I happy?

I have a friend who seemingly has it all… family, kids, health, a great job. They don’t worry about money or much of anything. One day I said, hey, are you happy? And this person looked at me like I had 16 heads and like I was crazy because what does happy have to do with anything? I’m doing it the way I’m supposed to do it. I’m not thinking about happy. I’m thinking about checking all the boxes so I have a good life.

Today is my birthday and for a long time I was consumed with having the perfect birthday, making sure I checked all the boxes, that I did something spectacular. I had to have the cake and the special meal. I had to make sure i pampered myself and did all the things that people say you should do in order to feel valued or supported or like you matter on your birthday.

None of it ever made me happy.

Today I brought my dog to the park, took off my shoes and ran around with her through the wet grass and I realized that I’m happy. I’m just happy running around with my dog. I don’t need the cake. I don’t even like cake that much. I don’t need the big party, the balloons or the perfect celebration.

I need what I have and what I’ve always had, which is being happy living my life on my terms. There’s nothing I want to do that I don’t do.
I live my life in a way that feels good for me, so if there’s something I wanna do, I just go do it.

I don’t wait for a special day or a special occasion. Every day I treat myself with love and care by not living according to someone else’s rules.

And honestly, that’s what we’re talking about when we’re talking about "healing work". It’s not that there’s something wrong with you. It’s about taking away all the layers of shoulds and have tos and formulas for what a life should look like, so that you can actually just allow yourself the freedom of being happy.

One theme that's been coming up in both my business and my personal life lately is this idea of trust.

Can I trust myself?

It took me a long time to deal with this idea of trust. How do I trust myself when I keep ending up in really bad situations? How do I trust myself when I feel like I keep making mistakes?
It's really hard to trust yourself when you're constantly judging yourself.

There's so much pressure that we put on ourselves on a regular basis to have the answers, to make the right decisions, to get it right.

To be able to stop and say, "Wait. Let me slow down. Let me listen to myself. Let me hear what my soul is telling me, what my energy body is telling me, what I need." And then to listen without having to fix it or make it better.

Sometimes the things that we need aren't necessarily the things that we want.

When I was trying to build my business, I wanted my business to grow very, very quickly. I wanted people to understand what I did. I wanted to see that all of the work I was putting in was paying off.

But the trust piece came when I needed to keep posting about what I do and keep explaining what I do, even though it wasn't bearing any fruit.

Because what I eventually realized was that I wasn't building the fruit.

I was building the roots.

In order for a tree to bear fruit, it first has to build a strong root system. It needs a foundation that can support what's coming. Looking back, all of the things that felt blind at the time were actually creating that foundation.

It wasn't just about getting clients. It was about creating something people could genuinely trust because it was built on a strong, grounded foundation. And before other people could trust what I was creating, I had to trust myself enough to keep creating it.

Is it difficult to keep creating when you don't see immediate gratification? Absolutely. Especially in a world where everything is built around immediate results.

But this idea of trusting yourself has to come first.

I worked on trusting myself so deeply that even when I couldn't see the results of what I was doing, I knew I was on the right path. I knew I was creating something bigger, deeper, and stronger.

Because here's the question I had to ask myself.
Do I want to build something without roots, where maybe I get clients and maybe I help people, but it's short-term? Or do I want to take the time and energy to build something stronger, deeper, and more foundational that will support people for years to come?

For me, the answer has always been the second one.

If you're finding it difficult to trust yourself, if you're finding it difficult to trust the process, there may be old experiences, beliefs, or protective patterns that have made it hard to hear your own inner knowing.

That's the work I love to do—helping people reconnect with that part of themselves so they can move through life with greater trust, clarity, and confidence.
