Hey, hi, hello, and what the heck is up?

Coming at you from Sleeping at Raska is the Finesse podcast. This motivational personal

growth podcast is the kick in the ass that you need to grow out of the shell that's been binding you to the life you have versus the life that you truly want.

You guessed it, I'm your host, Michaela from Michaela j.com.

I'm a blogger, retreat host, author, YouTuber, college student, and podcaster.

And I'm dishing up the motivation you need

to get through this week to help you get your shit together. Ready to manifest that life you

actually deserve? Guys, what is going on? How are you? I'm sitting here with some iced lemon water on my couch, extremely sunburnt and alive from

California. Okay. So today's episode is going to be all about how everything happens for a reason,

aka trust. And I'm going to talk about this because it was so relevant in my California

trip. Like, so relevant. I'm going to preface this first with some info. So when I went to

California at first, I was at a business retreat for two days, hanging out with some of the

girls that were in my IGL success school with my business

coach and then the last four days I was doing a solo trip yep your girls first solo trip

I've flown alone a lot but I have never gone on a vacation by myself and I expected it to be

super weird but it wasn't. It was so magical.

It was like, it felt as if I was just on a vacation with somebody else, but they weren't there.

I don't know. I think I might have liked it even better alone. Did I just say that?

If you've traveled with me, don't be offended. I know my boyfriend's

going to be offended. It was so fun and so relaxing. And I'm very comfortable with myself. So I think

that plays into it as well. That like I can be alone for very long periods of time and be okay.

And I totally blame that on being a Capricorn as usual. But it was amazing.
