On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.

She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.

It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

Sometimes, hitting rock bottom is the beginning of something beautiful.

In this week’s episode, I'm joined by yoga teacher, Reiki master, and author Terri Spaulding, who shares her transformational journey from burnout and disconnection to living a life of alignment, authenticity, and creative purpose.

Terri's story reminds us that rediscovering your true essence is never too late. After leaving a 30-year career that no longer served her spirit, she followed her intuition, embraced her sensitivity, and stepped into a life she doesn't need a vacation from. Through yoga, artistic expression, energy work, and her book Soulistic Sisters: You've Got The Power, Terri guides others to break free from being stuck and reconnect with their inner light.

This conversation will resonate deeply if you’ve ever felt like you're just going through the motions or wondering what your soul truly calls you to do.

We explore:

The awakening moment when Terri realized the life she'd built wasn't aligned with her authentic self
How surrendering the need to "overachieve" created space for her soul's wisdom to emerge
The divine inspiration behind Soulistic Sisters – born through meditation, affirmations, and artistic flow
Practical healing practices: journaling, nature immersion, and the art of sacred release
Transforming fear into faith, shifting your relationship with abundance, and trusting divine timing
What it truly means to create a life so aligned you don't crave escape from it

Soul-Stirring Takeaways:

Your journey to authenticity has no expiration date – it's never too late to begin again
Your body holds sacred wisdom—physical and emotional discord are messages from your higher self
Creative expression becomes healing when approached with joy rather than perfectionism
The universe often delivers miracles precisely when you release the need to control outcomes
Struggle isn't your natural state—persistent resistance signals the need for realignment

A little bit about Terri:

Terri is a yoga and movement instructor, Reiki master, and author of the book Soulistic Sisters: You’ve Got the Power. When it became clear at age 50 that she was living her life as someone she was not, Terri did a deep dive into reconnecting with her authentic self. Hitting her emotional rock bottom helped her to see how she had lost herself in the many rules and roles she had been taught to play. As a recovering control freak, perfectionist, and people pleaser, she now lives a life she does not need a vacation from. Her mission is to share her wisdom and empower others to shine and reclaim the power that is always within them.
