  • Embracing the Paradox: Why Wanting Wealth Means Accepting Poverty
    Jan 14 2026

    What if you didn’t have to choose between being wealthy and being poor, or being in love and being alone? In this episode, Rhonda Britten brings warmth and wisdom to the heart of paradox—revealing why true freedom comes not from fighting opposing truths, but from embracing them fully.

    Today, I want to explore the mystery of paradox—and how it can unlock freedom and peace in every part of your life. This episode was inspired by a listener’s question I realized I hadn’t answered fully yet. We’ll dive into what paradox really means: why two seemingly opposite things can both be true at the same time, and how accepting both sides leads to real wholeness.

    I’ll share simple, real-life examples—wealth and poverty, love and aloneness—to show how fear keeps us stuck chasing what we want and rejecting what we don’t. You’ll learn that embracing both sides (even the ones that scare you!) is the key to bringing your whole self into every endeavor and relationship. If you crave true freedom, this episode offers a gentle invitation to let go of the either/or mindset and discover the sweet spot where both/and can exist.

    What You’ll Discover

    1. Why paradox means both sides of the story are true—and how that changes everything
    2. How chasing only what you want (and avoiding what you fear) keeps you trapped
    3. The reason embracing the possibility of poverty is essential to becoming truly wealthy
    4. Why being willing to be alone allows you to experience deeper love
    5. How living inside the paradox creates space for your full, whole self
    6. Simple practices to help you accept the entire range of your experience—from abundance to lack, intimacy to solitude

    Key Takeaway

    True freedom comes from embracing both sides of your story—not just chasing one or running from the other. When you live in the paradox, wholeness becomes possible.

    Key Quote

    “A paradox means that two opposing things are both true. If you can live in the paradox—‘I want an intimate, loving relationship and I’m okay being alone’—that is true freedom.”

  • When Life Feels Overwhelming: Why Self Reflection Matters
    Jan 13 2026

    Feeling overwhelmed or stuck in self-doubt? Rhonda invites you to discover the transformative power of self reflection. Learn how slowing down to ask yourself honest questions can help you reclaim your center, shift from frustration to freedom, and build the witness consciousness that sets you free.

    How often do you race through your day, swept up in frustration, overwhelm, or confusion—caught in feelings that seem to run your life? In today’s episode, I’ll share why self reflection isn’t just about thinking—it’s about reclaiming your power, rewiring your response to emotions, and building what I call witness consciousness.

    I’ll walk you through the simple, gentle practice of pausing, asking yourself what you’re feeling, and giving yourself permission to slow down—especially when everything inside says “go faster.” You’ll learn why moving quickly is often about fear, and how slowing down can put you back in charge of your life, helping you see yourself and others in a new light.

    If you’ve ever had a bad moment turn into a bad year, this episode is for you. Together, let’s rediscover the freedom that lives in self reflection—so you can stop reacting and start choosing your way forward.

    What You’ll Discover

    • Why it’s okay (and essential) to slow down and check in with yourself
    • How moving fast is often a sign of fear, not wisdom
    • The practice of witness consciousness: seeing your thoughts and feelings without getting lost in them
    • How to turn a bad moment into a moment of growth, rather than a spiral
    • Simple breathing and reflection techniques to support you anytime
    • The difference between reacting and responding with awareness
    • Why self reflection is your way out of overwhelm, anger, or procrastination


    Key Takeaway

    Self reflection gives you the power to pause, gently witness your thoughts and feelings, and reclaim your freedom, no matter what’s happening around you.


    Key Quote

    “It’s okay to slow down and ask these questions in your day. When you are hurried or confused or overwhelmed or frustrated, it is okay to stop and self reflect. Don’t get caught in those feelings and believe those are the thing that is true, that is most true.”

  • From Astronauts to Barbers: What Did You Want to Be?
    Jan 7 2026

    What did you want to be when you grew up—and when did you stop letting yourself dream? In this episode, Rhonda invites you to reconnect with the innocence and possibilities you once felt as a child, transforming “someday” into “right now.”

    Today, I’m inviting you to go back—not to regrets, but to the place deep inside where you once let yourself dream. Our childhood selves believed anything was possible: doctor, astronaut, president, chef, superhero. We weren’t limited by practicality or the fear of “good job stability.” As we grow, our choices become more about solving problems and fitting into boxes.

    But that innocent, playful, expansive part of you isn’t gone. In this love note, I ask you to suspend your disbelief, set aside your “not enough money, not enough time” mindset, and give yourself permission to dream like a child—no matter your age or circumstance. You’ll learn how to bring magic-making back into your life, shift your focus from limitations to possibilities, and imagine a future that says YES to you.

    If you haven’t dreamed in a long time, or you feel stuck by “shoulds,” this is your gentle invitation to imagine boldly again—and gently remind yourself that anything, truly anything, is possible.

    What You’ll Discover
    1. Why childhood dreams reveal your deepest desires—and how to access them again
    2. The truth about how practical “problem solving” shuts down your imagination
    3. How to suspend your disbelief and practice “what if” thinking
    4. Permission to dream, fantasize, and hope—at any age, in any circumstance
    5. Practical ways to shift from “I can’t” to “What if I could?”
    6. How returning to childlike innocence unlocks a fresh sense of freedom and possibility


    Key Takeaway

    Anything is possible—when you allow yourself to dream like a child, the world expands, and nothing can put you in a box.

    Key Quote

    “I want you to allow yourself to access that childlike playfulness, that childlike innocence, that childlike dream-making. Because anything really is possible. Anything is possible. Anything at all.”

    — Rhonda


    Resources
    1. Journaling Prompt: What did I hope for, dream about, or fantasize when I was a child? If I could do anything now—if nobody told me no—what would I dare to imagine?
