Hi! Welcome back! Season 4 of the Life I Love Podcast is all about paradoxes, and this month, we’re discussing the balance between impermanence and stability. On today’s episode, Start Before You're Ready, I’m honored to chat with Kahja Elliott.

Kahja is an East Coast transplant who has called the Bay Area home for the last 10 years. She’s a food enthusiast and influencer who believes the best way to know a place is through its food. In 2022, her passion led her to launch Kay In The Bay, a platform dedicated to creating community through food. Kahja is also the creator and host of The As Told By Podcast, where she interviews people across various intersections of the food industry.

In this episode, Kahja and I explore the paradox of impermanence and stability. She shares how trusting herself has empowered her to take big risks, even when she didn’t feel entirely ready, and how that leap of faith has led to some of her greatest successes. Kahja talks about navigating change while staying grounded and how starting before you’re ready has been a core principle that has helped her balance the fluidity of life with a sense of stability.

In this episode of the Life I Love Podcast, we're diving into the paradox of impermanence and stability—two concepts that may seem at odds but are deeply interconnected. I'll be sharing a personal story about how becoming a mom again after 12 years turned my world upside down. Determined to keep up with my usual go-getter routine, I pushed myself to the brink, only to have my body completely shut down.

But guess what? I’m okay. This experience taught me the importance of embracing life’s unpredictable changes while finding stability within. We’ll explore how moments of feeling lost can lead to unexpected growth and how our past, with all its ups and downs, can anchor us in ways we never imagined.

Plus, I’ll share a guided visualization to help you embrace impermanence and find your inner stability. Whether you’re navigating the chaos of life or just looking for a bit of grounding, this episode is for you. Tune in, and let's find the balance between change and consistency together.

Welcome back to the Life I Love Podcast! I’m so juiced to kick off season 4 with all of you. A lot has happened since we last connected. I got fired from my tech job, welcomed a new baby girl, my 11 year old will be starting 7th grade soon and am now the official executive director for my company the Life I Love School.

In this episode, I share how getting fired was a shock, especially while planning my maternity leave. Despite the initial fear and anger, I felt an unexpected sense of relief.

This experience highlighted the paradoxes of life - the intersection of suffering and peace. Accepting these contradictions has brought me a deep sense of fulfillment.

This season, we’ll explore life’s paradoxes, starting with suffering and peace, followed by impermanence and stability, uncertainty and wisdom, and aloneness and connection. Our amazing guests will share their personal insights, helping us navigate these contradictions together.

Looking forward to Season 4! Let’s get it!

I invite you to join me on a deeply personal journey of healing as I explore the intricacies of my relationship with my mother, while drawing inspiration from Kelly McDaniel's "Mother Hunger," a poignant exploration of the profound impact of maternal deprivation on women's lives.

In this episode, I dive into the impact of lost nurturance and guidance, reflecting on moments of both protection and emotional neglect. Through introspection and empathy, I'll share my experiences navigating the complexities of generational patterns and striving to break free from the cycle of unmet needs.

Episode 22 of the podcast "Accepting Myself Everyday | My Relationship with Myself" is all about self-acceptance and nurturing a positive relationship with oneself. I share reflections from my childhood experiences, and my journey with self-discovery and the importance of cultivating self-awareness without judgment.

The episode emphasizes the transformative power of self-acceptance in fostering meaningful connections, setting boundaries, and navigating life's challenges with resilience.

Drawing parallels with the popular show "Love is Blind," I highlight the significance of looking beyond surface judgments and embracing authenticity in our self-perception. Just as participants on the show strive to connect on a deeper level beyond physical appearances, listeners are encouraged to practice blind self-reflection, self-compassion, and authenticity in their daily lives.

Through thoughtful introspection and intentional self-care practices, listeners are empowered to go on a journey of self-discovery and embrace their unique identity with compassion and understanding.
