In this week’s episode, I chat with Hilay, a feminine spirituality coach who works with female entrepreneurs, coaches, healers, and women who are ready to fully claim their authentic power. She is trained in Feminine Embodiment, Neurolinguistic Programming, Authentic Relating & Circling, and Behavioral Psychology. Hilay’s journey started out in corporate America in 2016. After an experience with sexual harassment with a high profile client, she fell deeply into a state of anxiety, emotional dissociation, and unworthiness. Within 2 years she quit corporate to “find herself” and then spent nearly a year traveling, working in hotels & restaurants, and searching for soul purpose. She didn’t officially find what she thought she was looking for and felt the pressure of returning to “normal life” for the sake of her conservative, immigrant parents. Because of this, she returned back to the 9-5 with a side hustle in health and wellness until she was called to feminine spirituality. In pursuing this passion, she was able to create a 6-figure coaching business in less than one year. Listen in as we talk about: The signs of anxiety that it was time to leave corporate America How traveling gave her the experience and perspective she needed Tips to tap into your energy to embody joy and purpose How to get your life back into alignment Ways to learn what being in alignment feels like Why we should honour the rejection we feel within our bodies Operating your life and business from feminine energy Connect with Hilay Instagram www.hilay.co Want to chat about launching or growing your podcast?

I took my first-ever hiatus from my podcast since starting it in 2019! It was a really hard thing to do, but completely necessary, because I was moving through a season that required me to be present and doing “the work”. Happiness isn’t always about being happy 24/7. It’s about noticing when things are not necessarily going to plan, or are aligned with what you truly want, and working through it in a healthy way. For me, I wasn’t working through it in a healthy way. I was pushing my boundaries way more than I had capacity for, and I needed to stop what I was doing so I could come back home to myself. A lot of growth has happened in that time, so be sure to tune in to this week’s episode for more on: What was going on behind the scenes that sparked this pause Why I feel like my show lost its integrity How I envision my podcast continuing to expand The mental health struggles I have been facing Unforseen emotions and navigating through them Want to chat about launching or growing your podcast?

This week's solo episode is short and sweet, and we are talking all of things emotions in business and taking space. I wanted to touch on this topic because I think that there's so much in the collective energy, in entrepreneurship, in being a business owner that it feels like you constantly have to have the answers. You always have to be go, go, go, and you always have to know exactly what the right thing to do is at all times. In some sense, yes, it's really important. Especially as you're running a business, or if you have a team. But what happens when you don't feel like you can hold that space, or what happens when you don't feel like you can show up the way that you want to every single day? This is what we talk about today: - Taking space when you need it - How to honour the season you're in - Why you shouldn't try and change your emotions - How to process what you're going through Want to chat about launching or growing your podcast?

This podcast touches on so many topics to help you better your life and business, so this week we’re talking how to launch a profitable podcast. I’ve created an incredible freebie that you can download, that’s called The Ultimate Guide to Launching Your Podcast in 8 Weeks. You can find the link to snag your copy in the shownotes. I created this freebie because the number one thing I hear from my clients and from people who want to start a podcast is “where do I even start”? So, I combined some of my best tips to help you take the guesswork out, so you can stay doing what you love, which is creating the podcast of your dreams! So this week we’re chatting about how to launch a podcast. While I can’t give you all of my tips in this episode, I’ve broken the main ones down into 3 categories. Lay the foundation Know your audience Have a launch plan When I plan launches for my clients, I create a two-month launch plan. This ensures a warm audience, and lots of time to create the assets and content you need.

If you don’t take action, you’ll stay where you are. Where you were a year ago vs. where you are today, are two completely different scenarios. However, you choose how you want it to go. We are such incredible human beings if you really think about it. We can take an idea, create something that has never existed before, and is so deeply unique to who you are. You’re taking your idea and transforming it into something someone will use in their life every day, and you really make an impact. You’re changing the way they’re thinking, you’re opening up their way of viewing the world. You’re making it easier for them to accomplish their dream or goal. But ultimately, it comes down to an idea. It comes down to a belief. It comes down to the idea that the belief is worth executing. Without your core, inner belief and knowingness that you are and have every single thing that you want in your life, it becomes really hard to bring your ideas to life. There’s a reason why we expand, there’s a reason why we grow, and there’s a reason why we continue to evolve. Why? Because the more we learn, the more we can help and expand the lives of other people - regardless of your industry or service. Ultimately, you’re bringing value to other people who need to see and hear what you say and see what you do.

Have you ever wanted to find more play in your day, but you just aren’t sure how? This week on the podcast we have Jeff Harry, who shows individuals and companies how to tap into their true selves, to feel their happiest and most fulfilled — all by playing. Jeff has worked with Google, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, Adobe, the NFL, Amazon, and Facebook, helping their staff to infuse more play into the day-to-day. Jeff is an international speaker who has presented at conferences such as INBOUND, SXSW, and Australia’s Pausefest, showing audiences how major issues in the workplace can be solved using play. Jeff was selected by BambooHR & Engagedly as one of the Top 100 HR Influencers of 2020 for his organizational development work around dealing with toxic people in the workplace. His play work has most recently been featured in the NY Times article: How Do We Add More Play To Our Grown-Up Life - Even Now. He has also been featured on AJ+, SoulPancake, the SF Chronicle, and CNN. While we spend most of our time pretending to be important, serious grownups, it's when we let go of that facade and just play, that the real magic happens. Fully embracing your own nerdy genius — whatever that is — gives you the power to make a difference and change lives. Jeff believes that we already have many of the answers we seek, and by simply unleashing our inner child, we can find our purpose and, in turn, help to create a better world. We spoke about how to find value in what you’re doing every day, but also how to welcome in more play, more joy and more purpose to your actions and intentions. Jeff shared with us what it’s like working with some of the top companies, and how they leverage play to incite some of the most revolutionary ideas. He teaches us that when we tap into what brings us true joy and happiness, we give permission to others to do the same. In this episode: What play is How playing allowed Jeff to work with some of the leading companies in Silicon Valley Steps to navigate toxic people in the workplace Three tips to connect with your inner child and play more How to release expectation around playing Transforming “shoulds” into what resonates with you through play How companies can integrate more play for employees CONNECT WITH JEFF Website: RediscoverYourPlay.com Instagram: @jeffharryplays Twitter: @jeffharryplays LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-harry-6991a94/ Medium: @jeffharryplays YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/jchuche TikTok: @jeffharryplays CONNECT WITH SIMONA https://www.instagram.com/simona__costantini https://www.instagram.com/happinesshappenspodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/happinesshappenstoday https://twitter.com/simona_cos www.simonanicole.com

Simona announces her new series called Align Your Mind starting on January 11. It’s a morning motivational series for life, business and purpose. Simona also talks about the changes happening in her life and business, and how she is continuing to transform her mindset in challenging times. The purpose of this episode is to dive deep into mastering your mindset for 2021 and leave you with five actionable tips to make your year the most powerful yet. 1. Honour where you've been, and where you're going. Find gratitude in the hard times so you can appreciate the good time. Not every day is sunshine and rainbows, some days are really hard. Take the time to honour your space and where you are right now, even if it's not where you want to be. You do this by creating and practicing a routine that helps you get back into alignment every day, but being consistent in showing up for yourself. What are your non-negotiables? What are the things you must do every single day in order to recalibrate into a higher vibration? Figure out what those things are - it can be meditation, reading, writing, journaling, creating, exercising, walking, cooking a delicious meal, or watching a show that brings you joy. Notice what those things are and incorporate them into your day, every day. Sometimes you'll fall out of alignment, and sometimes you'll come back to alignment, honour each season and don't get hard on yourself for coming out of flow - you're meant to fluctuate, it's about how do you bounce back? 2. Nothing changes if nothing changes. You can spend 2021 thinking about how hard 2020 was, or how frustrating the residual effects of 2020 are, but ultimately nothing will change in your life until you hard stop and make it change. Are you playing the victim in your story, or are you the main character? Are you creating your life every day or are you sitting by and watching other people, feeling jealous or envious of their success? No one is luckier than you, no one is more deserving - you have to take the action to change what it is you're unhappy with so that you can grow this year. Take the leap, take the chance, feel into the fear and do it anyway. Unless you take ownership for your feelings, actions and outcomes, nothing will change and you will find yourself at the same spot this time next year. All action is good action, no matter how big or small. What will you do differently and how will you use what you learned in 2020 to navigate and pivot into 2021? 3. Support. Ask for help when you need it. Asking for help is hard because our ego tells us that it's weakness. The reality is that when you're stuck in something, whether it's mindset, business, a plan, or hesitating on moving forward, the longer you ignore that you need help, the longer you'll stay stuck in where you don't want to be. There's no shame in asking for help or reaching out to someone you trust, whether that's a coach, friend or mentor, if you need support. This year, recognize when you need help and don't be ashamed. You'll progress quicker and blocks won't seem so overwhelming. 4. Dream. Have you given yourself the chance to dream about what 2021 can look like, or what you want it to look like? It's so important to let your imagination go wild, and dream up the boldest possibilities. It also helps to do this when you're relaxing and winding down because your mind tends to be less clouded with your to do list. Think about your dream for this year, and all the actions that you need to take in order to align to this. 5. Pivot. One thing 2020 taught us is that sometimes we need to pivot, especially when we least expect it. Whether it's brainstorming a new idea, launching a program, or trying a new resolution, if it's not aligning to you or what you truly want, it's okay and safe to pivot. There's no one way to do business, to change your life, or to start...

Alyssa is on a mission to create positive change in the world. She came to Handel Group seven years ago with a desire to change her career. After spending nearly a decade in the biotech industry participating in the launch of two successful life changing medicines for Cystic Fibrosis and Hepatitis C, she still felt like there was something missing in her life. After one session with a coach at Handel Group, she quickly discovered what was missing - she wasn't living true to her own dreams; she wasn’t happy; and she didn’t know how to become happy. This realization inspired a journey: Alyssa became a coach, changed careers, learned how to date honestly, transformed the dynamic in her family, navigated addiction, and confronted how to create and maintain great relationships in her life. She brings a deep understanding of The Handel Method to the work she does with her clients and students at MIT. Her analytical mindset and process-oriented nature led to her work in the Media Division, and most recently, to build, test, and launch Inner.U, Handel Group’s first digital course.

Jack's journey towards becoming a coach has been an eventful one. At Univesity, he was very much a party man, drinking and taking drugs without any real thought to it. He then went onto working in the city of London, and pretty much doing a similar thing. He then escaped and went traveling to which he lived with the Monks for 5 days, which was a turning point into his own consciousness. After a quick stop working in Australia, he returned home and created a six figure e-commerce business within nine months. Throughout this whole process, he was dipping into spirituality, the ego, and finding out what his purpose is. This led him to shut down his E-commerce business, investing heavily in a mentor, and help other businesses grow by tapping into their higher self and living a more fulfilled life. In this episode: The transition into shutting down his six-figure e-commerce business How living as a Monk changed his life Jack’s take on being a performance coach Why people self sabotage How you reprogram your subconscious thoughts The magic of being more gracious and kind to yourself Taking a hold of your life and doing what you want to CONNECT WITH JACK https://www.instagram.com/1jackmccloskey/ CONNECT WITH ME https://www.instagram.com/simona.nicole/ https://www.instagram.com/happinesshappenspodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/happinesshappenstoday https://twitter.com/simona_cos www.simonanicole.com
