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.

So many of us spend years looking outward for direction, trying to fit into someone else’s mold or chasing success by external standards. But what if the truth is simpler and closer than we think? What if who you are, as you are, is exactly where you’re meant to begin?

In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, I’m joined by Matt Gottesman, a writer, creative entrepreneur, and modern-day philosopher whose work blends spirituality, self-mastery, and intentional living. With over 580 solo podcast episodes, a thriving online community, and deeply reflective essays, Matt’s message is clear and consistent—you already have what you need inside you.

We talk about how he created a daily rhythm rooted in prayer, discipline, and creativity. He shares how his relationship with God influences his work and how alignment with your values and purpose naturally opens doors.
