S3 Ep 110Social Media Alchemy: Transforming Your Personal Brand, Business & Life with Content Strategies That Work

Today we're talking about using digital media to call more of what you're manifesting into your life, career, and business - whether that's clients, dream partnerships, a new job, or more sales of your art, for example. In the episode, I share practical social media tips and digital strategies to take your business and life to the next level. So grab your favorite notebook, and let's get started! Social media has become an indispensable tool for small businesses and career development - especially in the wellness, healing arts, and beauty realms. It provides an incredible platform to connect with your perfect people, build a loyal community, and showcase what you do. If you're a conscious creative - whether you're a wellness entrepreneur, an artist, a coach, or someone who's interested in advancing their career in these spaces, your social media profile act as a visual resume and portfolio of your work. In my Conscious CEO program, I'm asked often: which is most important - building an email list? Starting a Tik Tok page? Growing your Instagram? Setting up Facebook ads? Starting a blog? Launching a podcast? What do I do? Listen to the episode to hear my perspective as someone who's been blogging for ten + years, makes some money as a content creator, and makes more money as a consultant and through my courses and retreats.

S3 Ep 109Overcoming Self Criticism: Exercises To Inspire And Expand, Plus How To Have A Creative Girl Summer

E

OPEN NOW! Podcast Intensive & Conscious CEO Coaching Conscious Creatives Business School, available for $111 How do we overcome self-criticism or judgment when we're in the creative process? In this episode, I'm taking you through several exercises to support you in staying inspired and expansive while striving for your big dreams. Exercises To Inspire And Expand REFLECT: EXPANSION & REFLECTION Start by drawing a circle; on the inside of the circle, write down or draw the expansive ("good") things that have happened for you for so far this year; on the outside of the circle, write or draw the contractive ("bad") things that happened so far this year. Then, simply notice your feelings around the good and the bad, the expansive and the contractive. Consider the story you're telling yourself about each occurrence and consider that the way you respond and react to both the good and bad sets the tone for your future. TIME TRAVEL Think about where you want to be by the end of this year. Put yourself in the moment as if it's the closing days of the year. Where are you? Who is there? How do you feel? What have you achieved? What has occurred in your life over this time? What have you created? How are you nurtured? NOURISHING YOUR INNER CHILD Reflect on your childhood. What was your favorite childhood game, toy, or hobby? What was your favorite childhood movie, book, or, hero? Reminisce and recall the joy when think about the magical experience those favorites gave you. CREATIVE GIRL SUMMER List five activities you enjoy doing. Make space in your life to do more of those things this summer. List five skills that you want to have. Commit to to learning something new this summer. List five things you would like to try once. Commit to trying one of those things this summer. List a few things you never thought you'd do, but you've done. Acknowledge your bravery for doing that thing. TAKE YOURSELF ON AN ARTIST DATE The Artist Date, from the book The Artist's Way, is a solo expedition to explore something that interests you. The Artist Date need not be overtly "artistic" — think mischief more than mastery. Artist Dates fire up the imagination. They spark whimsy. They encourage play.

S3 Ep 1065 Ways Travel and Perspective Shifts Can Help You Become A Super Magnetic Manifester (and how to do this wherever you are)

Manifestation is the practice of bringing your desires and intentions into reality through focused thought, emotional alignment, and action. In today's episode, my final solo episode from Bali, I'm sharing five ways travel helps to open up our magnetism and manifestation mindset. Visualization: Travel allows us to visualize our desires in a new and powerful way. When we travel, we're often surrounded by new sights, sounds, and experiences, and we tap into our imagination and dreams more vividly. Openness to Possibility: Travel is the best way to connect to new experiences. When we explore new places and cultures, we're often exposed to new ways of thinking, living, and being. This helps us expand our belief systems and become more open. Taking Inspired Action: When we're in new environments, we often feel a sense of freedom that can spark new ideas; travel can inspire us to take bold, inspired action that we wouldn't necessarily consider in our home environments. Taking Risks: Traveling, particularly solo travel, often requires facing new and unfamiliar situations. This can feel scary, but as we navigate challenges and take calculated risks, we begin to develop a greater sense of confidence in our ability to handle uncertainty. Building Expansive Relationships: Stepping outside of our usual social circles and engaging with people from different backgrounds and cultures expands our perspective and helps us develop greater empathy. Traveling helps us gain perspective on our lives and the world around us. When we have transformative experiences by exploring new cultures, traditions, and ways of life, we can better understand ourselves and our place in the world. Our soul shines brighter, and we become a more magnetic version of ourselves when we remain curious.

S3 Ep 104How to Use Divine Feminine Goddess Energy to Manifest More: Recorded on Retreat in Bali

Today's episode is our first episode recorded on the island of Bali! I'm feeling so tuned into the divine feminine energy here on the island, so we're talking about how to manifest using goddess energy. Goddess rituals will help you tap deeply into your divine feminine energy. Working with Venus, or other goddess archetypes, is a beautiful way to nurture your relationship with yourself, increase self-acceptance, and cultivate self-love. When we feel aligned with our joy and expression, we attract more. Learn more about how to embody the qualities of the goddess in this episode and visit the podcast blog for more. Worshiping the inner goddess is a powerful way to connect with the energy of love, beauty, and harmony. Invoking goddess energy can help you manifest your desires, improve relationships, and bring more love and beauty into your life. When working with goddess energy, first determine what you want to achieve. For example, you may want to attract more love or improve your existing relationships. Then, think about how you can show up with more compassion, empathy, and understanding for others and act with kindness and love. To further tap into the frequency of the goddess, practice rituals to evoke creativity.

S3 Ep 101Slow Down and Grow Down: Soulbriety & Life Lessons from Hollywood Agent Turned Recovery Doctor, Elisa Hallerman

E

On her fifth anniversary of sobriety, Elisa Hallerman awoke with a hurting heart. Despite her sobriety, her lifestyle as a top Hollywood talent agent representing the Hollywood elite, made her unwell. In this episode, Elisa shares her path to Soulbriety: a soul journey from being addicted to drugs and alcohol, suffering from PTSD and chronic trauma, to changing her career entirely. This conversation includes a discussion of substance abuse, eating disorders, and grief. Elisa's book - SOULBRIETY: Heal Your Trauma, Overcome Addiction, and Reconnect with Your Soul is one of my favorites of the year. It's not just about getting sober; it's about soul-centered wellness, life lessons, and the practice of slowing down and growing down in a way many of us have been yearning for. In this episode, we discuss: What trauma means, how to spot it, and what to do to begin to treat it How Dr. Hallerman found something missing on the fifth anniversary of her sobriety, retiring from the entertainment industry, and going back to school for a doctorate Feeling shame: for existing, for being a woman who dares to sit in rooms with men, and for having a brain and ambition The "work mask" and protective shield Dr. Hallerman wore as she navigated her Hollywood experience and how we can each begin to break through our maks and become our authentic selves The Vince Vaugh breakup and how that experience became one of the best things that ever happened to Dr. Hallerman Why disease is part of the family unit - and how disordered behavior and addiction is often bringing awareness to something that's been bubbling under the surface of the family system Why having breakdowns within the family unit, setting boundaries, and eventually re-establishing relationships can be the best emotional path forward Depth Psychology, soul as a meaning-making machine + the 12 steps we go through "Growing down" into who we truly are The Soulbriety method, pausing in the darkness, applying a different way of knowing, and allowing our pain to be alchemized into purpose Soul vs. Spirituality: the difference and why it's important to work with both Resources: Learn more about Dr. Hallerman's work and get her new book SOULBRIETY: Heal Your Trauma, Overcome Addiction, and Reconnect with Your Soul Follow on IG at @drelisahallerman Join our brand new, inspiring community for creatives: CLUB CÁSCARA The club is for you if: You're seeking business & creative resources from a community that gets it.

S3 Ep 98Filters Are Changing How We See Ourselves and Killing Our Confidence. So What Can We Do About It?

E

Staring at own faces, day in and day out: what exactly is it doing to our self-image? High exposure to perfectly symmetrical faces, with lush lashes, full, pouty lips, and Bella Hadid level cheekbones - has been proven time and time again to have a large impact on our self-esteem. Photoshop, editing apps, and filters are literally tricking our subconscious mind into believing this level of flawless beauty exists. Unrealistic, unattainable images surround us. Our society encourages us to embrace digitally altered, flawless facades. What can we do about it? In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on the photoshop and filtering dilemma, zoom face - how it affects our minds, how we inevitably talk to ourselves, and how that can be especially damaging for our mental well-being and ability to design an optimal future.

S2 Ep 926 Things To Do More Of To Activate Your Manifestations + 4 Ways To Upgrade Your Lifestyle In '23

Introducing Lifestyle Lab If you are ready to activate a lifestyle aligned with your highest self, this intuitive mastermind experience is for you.

Join the Lifestyle Lab to make this year one in which you step into your most vibrant and thriving self. Use discount code ACTIVATE to get $277 off. About this episode: In 2019 I was achieving goals I'd set a few years before. I was traveling and getting paid to do it, had just published a book with a major publishing house, had moved in with my bf (now husband), and had the best friends anyone could ask for. Things felt bright. And then '20 forced me (like so many of us!) to make some significant life pivots — and on the other side, I realized, helllooooo! I'd actually been setting my goals too low. I was focusing only on what I could see right in front of me, on what I believed was possible in my current realm. This is not a bad thing, btw! Life is a constant process of evolution and celebration. When we notice a goal we've previously set feels too small, that's an indicator it's time to level up our lifestyle. We can do this by redirecting our focus, reconsidering our dreams, and restructuring how we spend our time. Today, I regularly set wildly ambitious goals, and I'm moving closer to them every day with less hustle and more flow. In this episode, I'm sharing 6 things to do more of to activate your manifestations for the year ahead plus 4 ways to upgrade your lifestyle In '23! Read more on the podcast blog.

About this episode: How do we feel lit up from the inside out? We get in the room with other people doing the damn thing. We find expanders who are achieving their dreams, making an impact they're proud of, and making it look and feel easy. In this episode, I'm sharing a manifestation mantra from Olivia Butler that works, my year-end future casting practice (read more on the podcast blog), what I'm calling in for 2023 (and I'm getting specific!), plus I have a conversation with Leah Pardee of the Bare Naked Soul Podcast. Leah's mission is to teach you to play in the present moment + release overthinking so that you can tap into your intuition and joy within. In 2018, she had everything she thought she needed to be happy. She was climbing the corporate ladder, had purchased a home with her husband, and had just obtained her MBA. Her life looked "successful" from the outside. Inside, she felt disconnected, lacked purpose, and was highly stressed and anxious. In this episode Leah shares her story of diving into mindset, spirituality, manifestation, and mindfulness work. We talk about: External versus internal happiness The search for "perfect" and how you began to release that The time Leah decided to give up makeup Breathwork and it's powerful impact on our aging Embracing our bodies at every age Releasing resistance to enjoy life Want to chat about this episode?

S2 Ep 90The Problem With The Pursuit of Purpose, How To Discover What You're Meant to Do + Soul Strategy Readings for Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, And Harry Styles

Introducing Lifestyle Lab If you are ready to activate a lifestyle aligned with your highest self, this intuitive mastermind experience is for you. It offers a strategic space to reflect, experiment, and build expansive friendships for the year ahead. Join the Lifestyle Lab to make this year one in which you step into your most vibrant and thriving self. About this episode: When I consider purpose and how it's discussed in this episode, it's through the lens of what your soul incarnated on this planet to do. Typically our souls didn't incarnate to do just one thing, and certainly, you didn't incarnate solely to work. Your soul doesn't expect that you had it all figured out by age 18. We incarnate to discover life — exploring life lessons, transformations, relationships, experiences, and how we make an impact. I love using the North Node in partnership with Human Design to truly get a sense of life purpose. In this episode, I'm reading the charts of Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, and Harry Styles to give you perspective on what these charts have to tell us. Exploring these charts via my Soul Strategy process gives us an opportunity to: discover our highest self, get clarity on big life transitions, diagnose misalignment, and release blocks. What Is The North Node In Astrology? The North Node is your destiny and north star. Our destiny and soul purpose are written in the stars, and you can unlock them by understanding the lunar nodes in your birth chart: the north and south nodes. The north node represents our growth areas and the life lessons we're integrating. What Is The Incarnation Cross? The incarnation cross is comprised of four gates on your Human Design Chart. These are the four gates you've incarnated with to make your specific life experience the best it can be. Gates represent our gifts. The gifts of the incarnation cross were chosen by your soul before birth as you considered the life experience you were interested in having this go round. Each of these gates offers a specific set of learnings, practices, and information on purpose. The four gates on the Incarnation Cross are the two Sun gates and the two Earth gates.

S2 Ep 76Finding Purpose, North Node Astrology, and Romanticizing Your Life

In today's episode, I'm sharing a life update (we're talking wedding planning, baby making, and opening an Airbnb!), tools I've used to help me find purpose, and thoughts on the trend of "romanticizing your life." So you know your sun, moon, and rising, but what about your North Node? The North Node in your birth chart shows you the way to your soul's purpose. This includes the lessons you will learn, the areas of major growth, and the characteristics you're taking on. When we understand our North Node, we can tap into alignment as we move forward on a clearer path towards our purpose. We're also talking about the trend of "romanticizing your life." From the NY Times: Experts say the romanticizing trend may have endured in part because it is a new way of exploring mindfulness — the practice of paying attention to the present moment and becoming aware of your physical sensations, thoughts and emotions in a nonjudgmental way. It also offers a sense of agency, a feeling of control that has been sorely lacking as the pandemic grinds on. I encourage you to make this a forever practice, not just something for this summer!

S2 Ep 72Considering Death: Turning Loss and Life Obstacles into Abundance with Hypnotherapist and Spiritual Mentor Niki Cozmo

Within 8 years, everyone in Niki Cozmo's immediate family had suddenly (and tragically) passed away. It wasn't the kind of death you expect from illness or old age. According to Niki, an esteemed Hypnotherapist, Spiritual Mentor, and badass, to create a fulfilling life, we must start in a place where you'd least expect it: death. This can mean spiritual death — like leaving behind the challenges, struggles, and false beliefs that are keeping us chained to a false narrative. Niki talks freely about the afterlife because her journey began with actual death. Marrying her colorful life experiences with her formal training, Niki opened Cosmic Relations University, a transformational education program specializing in spiritual traditions and practices for the modern-day human. Niki has helped 10,000+ clients (including me!) with her no b.s. approach and continues her mission to liberate those around her. Learn more about Niki and this episode on our podcast blog.

Water Divination uses the element of water and mineral to open a window of communication between the diviner, ancestors, and the other world to weave together a concise story that speaks to the spirit of the person experiencing the divination. Today's guest is Seun Mendes, Water Diviner and healer authorized and initiated to speak on behalf of the ancestors. I had an opportunity to experience Seun's medicine - an experience in which he offers prescriptions of rituals. The act of getting a divination itself is a radical act in a sense, and one must be open for the healing and transformation that often takes place from receiving a Water Divination with Seun.

S2 Ep 68The Philosophy of Beauty with Ada Polla, CEO of Alchimie Forever

When reflecting on beauty the enlightenment philosopher David Hume said: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them, and each mind perceives a different beauty. The nature of beauty is one of the most enduring and controversial themes in Western philosophy - beauty has been counted among the ultimate values, with goodness, truth, and justice. But what is beauty exactly? In today's episode, my guest Ada Polla, the CEO of Alchimie Forever, and a long-time beauty industry friend gets into this very topic. Ada grew up in a very close-knit family with three sisters, the daughter of world-renowned Swiss dermatologist Dr. Luigi Polla — the first medical doctor to introduce laser technology to Europe. She started working with her father when she was a child. Saying Ada was raised in the world of beauty is an understatement. Skincare, beauty, and the importance of looking your best in order to feel good were a part of her upbringing. As Ada launched Alchimie Forever, she and her family had a goal of bringing the magical and the mystical to skincare while using science to transform skin into something that's like gold. I met Ada back in my corporate beauty days - we've spent many days exploring the industry, meeting prominent and prestigious experts, and hearing their stories at conferences, workshops, boardroom meetings, and beyond. Knowing Ada I thought, there's no better person to discuss the philosophy of beauty with than her. As spiritual people - sometimes we may ask ourselves - is it vain to think about beauty and our skincare rituals? Can we be mystical people and care about our outward appearance too? What about body modification, and beauty-enhancing procedures like botox, fillers, etc? These are all questions that Ada and I dive into in this episode.

S2 Ep 65Inspiring Entrepreneurs to Dream Big and Manifest a Dream Life with Marley Rose Harris

Have you ever felt like you were made for more but struggled with knowing how to get there? In her university days today's guest, Marley Rose Harris discovered a deep loathing for self. She hated who she saw when she looked in the mirror. She was so deep she didn't realize the words in her head were negative — she believed it was normal to speak to herself that way. After doing work to shift out of a toxic mindset, she's manifested everything on her vision board ten times over designing a life she once believed wasn't possible. She's traveled the world while running a wildly successful business, leading a brilliant team, and cultivating radiant friendships. Along the way, she's established a mission to inspire entrepreneurs to dream big and manifest their dream lives.

S2 Ep 63Haters Gonna Hate: 3 Ways To Use Criticism To Manifest Success

E

Let's talk about haters, critics, and naysayers and their impact on our manifestations. Should we listen to them, let them take our confidence down, or is there a learning lesson when someone says you're not good enough? Can we use critique as an opportunity for growth? Consider this: If everyone is happy with what you're up to, you probably aren't stepping out of the comfort zone enough. There are a few reasons you may experience haters. As your star rises, it's inevitable, there will almost certainly be critics and naysayers with something to say about the work that you're doing to manifest your dream life. In this episode, I'm sharing three tips for letting other people's shade turn into your shine. Read more on the podcast blog at ouiwegirl.com/podcast.

S2 Ep 62Three Things I've Learned About Risk Taking

E

Ah - those famous quotes about risk-taking. We've all heard them. "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far it is possible to go." - T.S. Eliot "Do one thing every day that scares you." - Eleanor Roosevelt So let's talk about it. Taking the risk. Making a big leap. Stepping into the fire. We know what a difference it can make in the trajectory of our lives, but so often we're too afraid to go for it. Living in this digital world we often only see other people's end results. We see someone having the career we want, enjoying the success we wish we had, finding the dream apartment, meeting the loving romantic partner - and we think how did they do it?! How are they so lucky to have all the beautiful things that seem to make life feel complete? Before recording this episode I reflected, on what I've learned about risk-taking over the last several decades. In this episode, I'm spilling it. Three things I've learned about risk-taking: You don't have to have the confidence to take the big leap, just the willingness to take the first step. I share the story about vision boarding the brand new retreat house and the first steps I took to bring the dream to reality. Those steps included hiring an outsourced CFO and learning about real estate and the market where I was interested in buying property. Stop watching everyone else's success and comparing yourself. It'll paralyze you. When we allow in the comparison we're making so many assumptions about why someone else has it made and we don't. We start getting caught up in the "how" versus staying in a state of embodiment and flow. To become a master manifestor we need to hold the vision, align emotionally, and then find the practical strategies that will keep us moving forward in order to get us where we dream of going. Be in community. Surround yourself with expanders, and get accountability partners to support you. James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, says "surround yourself with people who have the same goals as you, you'll rise together. Knowing that someone else is watching is a powerful motivator." When making big moves call up the people that you know will believe in your vision, have a similar dream as yours, and cheer each other on along the way. If you don't already have these people in your life, join community groups or mastermind programs that will give you the opportunity to meet people doing what you dream of doing.

S2 Ep 61Human Design 101: An Introduction to the Science of Differentiation with DayLuna

What is Human Design? Sometimes called the "science of the aura," Human Design pinpoints the way in which your energy flows as an individual and offers you strategies and insight on how to use your energy correctly so you can find personal alignment as you live your unique life purpose. It's a synthesis of a variety of ancient modalities and modern science too. In this episode, we're not asking "what's your astrology big three?" instead we're asking "what's your design?" As a relatively new system founded in 1987, Human Design brings together multiple ancient modalities including Astrology, the I-Ching, Kabbalah, and the Chakra system, which is then fused together with the contemporary disciplines of quantum mechanics, astronomy, genetics, and biochemistry. My guests today are Shayna Cornelius and Dana Stiles of DayLuna and if you're asking "what is Human Design?" you're in the right place. DayLuna was created to share a deep knowledge of Human Design and we're getting a crash course on Human Design type, strategy, authority, and more. We talk about learning to uncover your unique energy blueprint, strategies for living in alignment with your true purpose, cultivating self-awareness, and learning to make decisions with the body versus the mind. The pair's mission is to empower the collective towards self-love, personal freedom, and radical authenticity. DayLuna offers diverse products and services including personalized Human Design ritual kits, personalized parenting blueprints, live readings, reader training, video courses, and more! The sky truly is the limit when it comes to your own potential and Human Design gives you a crystal clear manual on understanding yourself and unlocking your purpose.
