147: One Suitcase, One Life: What Truly Matters When You Let Go
What would you take if your entire life had to fit in one suitcase? And more importantly — what would you finally let go of?This episode is a tender, honest reflection on radical simplicity. As we prepared to move to Bali, we gave ourselves a 6x6 closet to store everything for our family of three. That’s it. One suitcase. One carry-on. No “just in case.” No more holding on to things that weighed more emotionally than physically. And in letting go, I found something unexpected — freedom. Space. Clarity.“When you strip it all down, the essentials become clear.”If you’re craving simplicity or feel overwhelmed by what you’re holding onto — emotionally or physically — this episode is for you.You might also resonate with:• 133: Holding On While Letting Go - https://youtu.be/cLtx8986-Hw• 126: How She Retired at 34 Without a 9-5 with Jenni Schulz - https://youtu.be/yT6rE2rSs-Q🎧 Enjoyed this episode?

146: What Is Home When Everything Changes?
Have you ever felt like the place you once called home no longer fits who you’re becoming? Or wondered if home could be something deeper than a physical space?This heartfelt episode invites you into the raw and emotional process of releasing what once was — in my case, preparing to leave our family home before moving to Bali. I reflect on the shifting meaning of “home” and how it transforms through seasons of growth, loss, and reinvention. If you’re navigating a move, letting go of a place you love, or redefining your identity, this conversation offers grounding perspective and gentle clarity.“Home is not where you are, it’s how you feel inside yourself.”If this episode speaks to you, you’ll also love:• 144: Shifting Old Roles to Become Someone New - https://youtu.be/vHydKls3Ae0• 133: Holding On While Letting Go - https://youtu.be/cLtx8986-Hw🎧 Enjoyed this episode?

What if… it all works out better than you imagined?What if your fear is just a door, and your dream is on the other side?So many of us live caught in a loop of What if I fail? What if I’m too late? What if it all falls apart? — without realizing that every “what if” is shaping our nervous system, stealing our peace, and dimming our possibility. But what if you could flip that script? What if your what ifs became the fuel for dreaming bigger, expanding, and welcoming joy?"What if this delay is divine? What if this challenge is preparing you for something even greater?"What if today, you stopped feeding the fear spiral and instead stepped into a powerful new question — one that opens, uplifts, and guides you into the unknown with wonder?🌱 What’s one “what if” you’re ready to reframe right now?🎧 Enjoyed this episode?

138: Are Your Morning Practices Helping or Hurting You?
Are you reacting to your day before it even begins? Do you wake up and immediately check your phone? What would it feel like to create space for yourself first thing in the morning? In this episode of The Courage To Be™, host Tania Vasallo dives into the power of starting your day with intention rather than reaction. She shares how her morning routine has changed over the years—from three sacred hours of journaling, meditation, and movement to shorter, meaningful rituals that fit her current season as a mother. Tania also shares an inspiring anecdote about on of her clients, who replaced stressful morning news with breathwork. Now in her 60s, she recently celebrated holding her breath for 45 seconds—something she never thought possible.This episode covers the importance of mindfulness, morning routines, daily intention-setting, gratitude, and how small changes can create lasting impact.🎧 Enjoyed this episode?
