#0: Welcome to Expansive

Welcome to Expansive: the podcast for those who dare to take bold actions and live a life that excites you!

Hello, everyone, my name is Tiana Mae! Welcome to episode 0 of the Expansive podcast, where I’ll explain all about what “Expansive” means, why I started this podcast and what you can expect from future episodes!

If you’re anything like me, you believe life is meant for more than just the daily grind. I’ll get to my story a bit later, but somewhere along the way I realized that you cannot goal-set or “achieve” your way into a fulfilling life. Life isn’t a set of boxes to be checked. Life is meant to be… LIVED!

Sometimes our own goals unknowingly limit us before we even get started. There's so much more I want for you — more than neither you nor I can even dream of right now. But we'll get there.

And that's what this podcast is all about. Expansive is about breaking free from the limitations we put on ourselves, exploring new possibilities, and gaining clarity on what truly matters to create a life that excites you. We'll dive into practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real-life experiments to help you define a life vision for you to exceed. Consider this your companion to living a life with more joy, more fulfillment, and more moments that make you truly happier than you ever imagined.

Listen to the episode to hear my full story!

Living expansively is about loving the life you have now, while getting excited about where you’re going. It’s knowing life can be more, not from a place of lack, but from a place of excitement for the infinite possibilities!

It’s about recognizing there are more paths to happiness and success than you might currently believe. It’s about taking the risks, turning 'someday' into 'today’, and making the changes that will allow you to say, 'I lived fully.

Expansive is about experiencing genuine fulfillment, enjoying life, and pursuing your dreams in alignment with your values. You’ll know you’re living an expansive life because you’ll fall in love with the person you’re becoming and allow yourself to be loved by your community.

Ultimately, it’s about waking up excited for the future, feeling deeply connected to your purpose, and living a life that continuously surprises and delights you. Because life will exceed your wildest dreams if you allow it.

So, on this podcast, I want to help you step into your “Expansive” life too. I want to guide you to expand your mental boundaries and discover even better versions of your life. I’ll share my journey – what I’ve learned and what I’m still struggling with – alongside experiments I’ve tried or plan to try. You’ll also find practical tools, actionable strategies, and real-world examples to implement in your own life. I acknowledge this journey isn't always easy, so we'll discuss obstacles, setbacks, and how to overcome them. Most importantly, I want to share your wins, your struggles and your topics of choice! Let's learn, grow, and expand together!

My vision is to live bigger and to inspire others to live bigger too! And what better way to do that than alongside a community of fellow "expanders" who support and inspire each other.
