You-est You®: Redefining Intuition, Spirituality, Consciousness & Healing

Meet Dr. Margaret Paul Dr. Margaret Paul is a bestselling author of 12 published books, relationship expert, and co-creator of the powerful Inner Bonding® self-healing process. She has appeared on numerous radio and television shows, including Oprah. Margaret is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council. Dr. Paul has been recognized as a luminary and leader in the field of psychology and personal growth by Jack Canfield, Alanis Morissette, Neale Donald Walsch, and John Gray, to name a few. First off, I firmly believe that there is a crisis of self-abandonment and a lack of self-love and self-kindness. We dove deep into how to change this disturbing habit and belief system that can wreak havoc on your immune system and body. I know from my own experience that my own past health issues with my thyroid and immune system had everything to do with not knowing how to honor my feelings or take care of myself. I have no doubt that so many illnesses and physical ailments are due to a lack of self-care, self-love, self-kindness, and ultimately self-abandonment. You will learn in this conversation the powerful process of Inner Bonding, one that Dr. Margaret has used with thousands of patients (including herself), and how to use this healing process with yourself. I highly recommend you get her book, The Inner Bonding Workbook, and make your own Inner Bonding work a real priority. If you need any proof, watch Dr. Margaret on my YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/juliereisler) and you will see the pure joy and love emanating out of her and how kind the years have been through this work (seriously, you won't believe that she is 83). What Does Self-Abandonment Really Mean Self-abandonment is when you are taking care of everyone else but yourself. Most of us are trained to abandon ourselves because our culture, family of origin, religion, or surroundings teach us that it is selfish to care for ourselves first. You can't do this without experiencing physical symptoms. Self-care is actually the opposite of selfishness because it's about taking responsibility for yourself and your well-being. You then take yourself out of the victim mode. Blaming others for your well-being and issues is actually selfish. Taking care of yourself relieves the burden of others taking care of you. Get the difference? This is a powerful distinction. The Inner Bonding process is all about moving out of our head focus into a body focus so we can learn to truly love ourselves, and receive guidance from our Higher Self for the rest of our life. The 6-Step Process to Inner Bonding: Be willing to be present with your feelings, including those of loneliness, pain, sadness, and despair. You'll go back to being present and take responsibility for your feelings so that you can get out of your head and into your body and heart. Breathe into your heart and be open to learning about how to love yourself. In this step, you will start to gain access to your higher self, when your frequency is high enough. Keep your body clean with healthy, nourishing, clean organic foods. Keep your thoughts clear and clean as well. Eating well is loving to your body and your whole self. Because Spirit exists at such a high frequency, the more you are in alignment with this energy level, the more you can get 'at will divine guidance'. Imagine a wiser part of yourself (500 years older) full of power, truth, and wisdom, and invite that higher self part of you in. This is the 'loving adult' that lives within each of us. In doing this you'll develop new neural pathways in the brain. Breathe back into your feelings. For example, if you felt numb and depressed, go back into those feelings and imagine these feelings as your inner child. Ask this part of you: 'How am I treating you? What am I telling you?' We caused our own self-abandonment, so this step is crucial for taking responsibility and discovering how we're abandoning ourselves. This is connecting to our younger self, our 'wounded ego self', which is also Character 2 for those who have read Whole Brain Living by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, or heard either of our two interviews. To listen to either interview, go to: https://youtu.be/gox_ZIwZdpk or https://youtu.be/_LisJ6vFwEk. There's always a belief, usually about fear, to better understand and discover. Dialogue with your higher guidance about your false beliefs. Ask this part of yourself: 'What is loving to me? What is in my highest good right now?' Take loving action (the more you do this, the more you're programming yourself to be kind and loving to yourself in thought and action) Go back to how you are feeling --- if it's a loving action, you'll feel relief and you won't feel shame or fear. Inner Bonding is about knowing you are never alone and that you can access your Higher Guidance at any time. Your guidance is ALWAYS there, my friend. My favorite quote from our conversation (which brought tears to my eyes) was this: "We're on the planet to evolve our ability to l

Meet Angela Jia Kim Angela Jia Kim is a former concert pianist and founder of Savor Beauty + Spa, a Manhattan-based skincare and spa brand inspired by Korean beauty rituals. She's also the author of Radical Radiance: 12 Weeks of Self-Love Rituals to Manifest Abundance, Beauty, and Joy and the creator of the Savor Beauty Planner, a self-care guide that helps women manifest beauty, brilliance, and balance. To get a copy of Angela's beautiful book (and free gifts), go to radicalradiance.com. I loved this conversation so much in part because Angela is so real, genuine, and full of humility. This is a woman with a passion that was her paycheck --- this passion literally fueled her business and gave her the desire and dedication to build her beauty and self-care hustle into a thriving and well-known business. But, this did not happen overnight! Angela shares her empowering story of how it took thirteen years to turn her dream into a 7 figure operation that is fed by love, collaboration, an abundant mindset, and feminine energy. You are going to love Angela and her inspiring ways to honor yourself and your business (if you're an entrepreneur) in a whole new radiant way. Listen to Your Business, Trust Your Gut Angela shared authentically about feeling envy and frustration in the early days when she was in debt and she could see a peer thriving in a similar business with zero financial concerns. It was then she decided that someday she would have a business that took care of her. She is also committed to respecting and listening to her business (which she refers to as a 'goddess of abundance') because it will whisper hints of where it wants to grow. Just like nature, humans, and all living things, your business will naturally want to expand and grow. Sometimes this means making hard choices, like letting go of people that may not be aligned with your values or changing your business model when it seems impossible. What's most important is to trust these inklings, whispers, and gut feelings and have faith while taking inspired action. The Spiritual Way to 7 Figures Angela grew her business in an organic and spiritual way, and it didn't happen all at once. It took 10+ years to build the kind of traction and recognition that she now enjoys today. "Good things take time!" It's important to change your perspective and expectations. Find the joy in what you're doing now, live in abundance now (abundance is redefined below) and lean into the feminine energy of trusting your intuition. We give birth to our business --- it wants to grow, learn and expand. Listen and nurture it so that it can take care of you. A New Definition of Abundance Abundance refers to everything from having an abundance of love, food, connection, resources, and love for what you do. I loved Angela's new definition that looks at abundance in an even more holistic way. She defines it simply as, "Be, Do, Receive". Let's unpack that further. Be - This is about setting time for being, like meditation, visualization, visioning, and space to be. Fill yourself up with abundant affirming statements like "I am glowing. I am radiant. I am abundant". And if you don't feel that yet, you could say "I feel glowing. I am excited to feel abundant. I love feeling radiant." Do - This is a way to express your soul and creativity, not just about doing things to be productive. By doing what is aligned with your being (visualization, meditation, etc) you are able to manifest what matters most to you. You want to nourish to flourish (find self-care activities like yoga, massages, or facials), pull out the weeds (find things you don't love to do and get them done), plant new seeds (reach out to people, network and connect at a heart level) and get ready for miraculous manifestations. Receive - Take in and savor the lessons, gifts, and opportunities for appreciation, collaboration, helping others, and acts of self-love Following this 'Be, Do, Receive' recipe is how you bring abundance into your life. My favorite quote: "How you treat your skin is how you treat your soul." Yup, a mic drop moment if I may say so myself. Share your heart flare and the biggest takeaway from my conversation with Angela in the You-est You Facebook community, in this episode on YouTube or send me an email. How will you increase your focus on her abundance equation to "Be, Do, Receive"? And remember, it takes time to build something beautiful that will take care of you.

Meet Lisa Johnson Lisa Johnson is a multi-seven-figure Global Business Strategist who makes 90% of her money through passive or semi-passive income streams. In one launch alone during the global pandemic in 2021, she made $3 million in a week - earning $1.2m in the first hour of sales with continued success in 2022 when she made $2.5m in one week. Her business made over $10m in the first five years. After a tough childhood spent in social housing, Lisa went on to have successful careers in law, banking, and the entertainment industry. Her background in overcoming obstacles has helped mold her into a bold, straight-talking coach, who is never afraid to be an authentic and outspoken truth-teller. She took herself from $35,000 in debt to a successful entrepreneur making millions and helping thousands of people in just five years. Lisa has over 50,000 followers across social media and a number one business podcast, Making Money Online which has been listened to across 119 countries and has over 150,000 downloads to date. She has spoken on the BBC's Women's Hour and has been featured in national newspapers and magazines including The Telegraph, Psychologies, The Guardian, and Fast Company. A feature on Lisa in Forbes magazine garnered over a quarter of a million views in one week. Lisa is a huge believer that everyone can become a success no matter their background, is an ambassador for the charity BulliesOut, and is known for her anti-bullying campaigning online. Lisa lives in Bedfordshire, UK with her husband and twin sons but coaches around the globe. Lisa is one of the most genuine and authentic women business owners I know. Her story is going to inspire and empower you to realize that your strengths are to be honored and that you can do, be or have anything. The bigger reminder here is to honor your own values, integrity, and morals. I'm here for that, and know you are too! From Welfare to Wealth Lisa grew up on welfare and struggled throughout her childhood and teen years being bullied because she was poor. While this kind of traumatic experience could have deterred anyone, Lisa used it as fuel for her inner fire to become prosperous and follow her talents. She talked about starting a banking job making decent money and then deciding to get into wedding planning in the UK to supplement her income. She had twin boys, had recently gotten divorced, and realized she needed more money to support her children. She racked up a bit of debt and realized she needed to learn about business, inside and out. A year or so later she got back into the wedding business and started increasing her revenue, but started to notice what she was really good at was explaining to others what to do to make money using strategy. She loved teaching and helping other business owners and soon pivoted to start her business as a global business strategist. Redefining Success In Lisa's first year as a business strategist, she made close to $220,000 working 80 hours/week, doing many one-to-one sessions with clients. She realized after taking a hard look at her business and the model she was working in, that she actually doesn't like one-to-one work and prefers one-to-many (such as groups, masterminds, etc). This was eye-opening for Lisa, and she decided to shift gears and change her business model completely. What I think is fascinating is that most people would get scared and worried about losing clients, money, and success, but Lisa leaned into her strength and what was true for her. She scaled her business, worked 30 hours/month, and made $2 million dollars in year two in this updated model that was in alignment with her energy and strengths. We talked a lot about the power of both redefining success and what business model (or way of working) is best for your interests and how you are designed. Here are some of the key points, and my favorite question from Lisa's wisdom on success: 1) The question to ask yourself is "What does success mean to me?" 2) You need to find a business model that is true for you and works for your favorite way to be of service. That might mean doing only 1:1 sessions, 1 to many, or a hybrid...or something else. Don't just follow what others are doing. Stop, pause and ask yourself what's the best model for you. 3) Tap into your strengths and use them as your guidepost! 4) You'll never feel fulfilled until you know and experience your version of success. Get clear on what that means for you. 5) Stop chasing money, instead choose happiness. Enjoy the in-between! Morals over Money When in doubt, choose morals over money. Lisa shared her story of turning down a pricey trip to Neckar Island with a group of well-known entrepreneurs after realizing it was not aligned with her values. This meant losing money but not compromising her morals. Let your values be your guide and remember that the goal is not to get external validation, but to make a bigger impact. One of my fave quotes: "We all have the ability to make a rip

He has developed a series of solutions applicable across all markets, sectors, and age groups, which he has presented as a welcomed guest on Larry King Live, CNN, CNBC, and as a contributor to Oprah Magazine and hundreds of other magazines. International bestselling author of The Values Factor and 39 other books, Dr. Demartini has studied over 299 academic disciplines throughout the past 50 years. Revolving around maximizing human awareness, potential, and leadership. A global educator, he is the founder of the Demartini Institute and has worked with entrepreneurs, board members, and CEOs at companies including IBM, Shell Oil, Merrill-Lynch, and more. He has helped thousands of people transform their life according to their highest values to create their "life masterpiece." I was blown away by Dr. Demartini's life story and how he came into this transformational work. As a boy, he was told he would never read, write or amount to anything! Today, John Demartini has helped billions of people to change their beliefs, stories, and habits to fully live out their values and ultimately love their life. Tune in to hear the 13 most important questions to ask yourself (honestly) to find out if you're living out your values. As John said, every human being lives moment by moment with a set of priorities and a hierarchy of values that are specific to them. John then created a Values Criteria (found on his website - I took it and it's awesome) that will help you know what your actual values are. If you are aligned with your top values, you will excel and wake up with a momentum that's unstoppable. Your life demonstrates what you value. The Values Criteria These are the 13 questions to ask yourself to see how you are (or aren't) living according to your life values. Space: What are the top 3 items in your space where you spend the most time? Time: Where are the top 3 places where you hang out or spend your time? Energy: What are the top 3 things that give you energy? Money: Where are the top 3 places you spend your money? Organized: What are the top 3 areas with the most order or where you're most organized? Disciplined: Where are the top 3 areas you are most spontaneously disciplined? What are the top 3 things you're thinking about most in how you'd love your life to be that's showing evidence of coming true? What are the top 3 things you visualize about how you want your life to be that's showing evidence of being true? What are the top 3 things you have internal dialogues about that you'd love your life to be like that are coming true? What top 3 conversations do you keep coming back to and want to converse about? What are the top 3 things that inspire you most and what's in common with the top 3 people who inspire you most? Whare are the 3 most consistent and persistent goals that show evidence of coming true? What are the top 3 things you spontaneously want to feed your mind with? Look for the patterns in these questions. Be honest with yourself and give yourself permission to do what's true for your 'You-est You'.

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. Let's get one thing straight here, you are the one living with yourself for hopefully a very long time. Taking care of yourself; mind, body, emotionally, and spiritually is one of the kindest things you can do for, yes, yourself, but also for others around you and the world. No one will ever be able to care for you the way you can, and although it might feel awkward at first, or even wrong, don't let that deter you from making self-care a priority. Here's why...you were probably raised in a society, culture, family, or maybe even religion that told you spending time on yourself is selfish. Like many of us, you might have beliefs and thoughts about the importance of putting others first. We're often taught that to be a good person is to put others first. I'm going to share why this is faulty thinking and can lead you down the path of overwhelm, burnout, and even chronic illness. Self-care is Self-love The bottom line is that the more you take care of yourself, the more you have to help others. The more aligned, grounded, hopeful, healthy, and well you feel, the more you have to give these qualities to others you love and care about. As Oprah shares in many of her motivational talks, your cup must runneth over so you can give from a full cup, not an empty one. Redefining Selfish Ok, let's come clean here. How many of you feel guilty even seeing the word selfish? I'm guessing most of you felt some pang of discomfort reading that word. Let's agree that our society has created a negative connotation around being selfish. It's used in arguments to suggest that you care about yourself more than your spouse, partner, child, parent, or friend. Somehow you are deemed a 'bad' person by focusing on your own needs or desires and wants first. There is an inherent negative judgment wrapped up in this word. Being called selfish is usually not what we're aiming to hear or be associated with. Here's the secret, everyone by definition is 'selfish' because you can only come from your own viewpoint, from your view within yourself. You by default have a personalized filter that sees the world by the sum total of your past experiences. This is natural and part of how we're designed. I'm not saying that you should care only about yourself and live a myopic existence. What I am conveying, is that in order to give fully and be a contribution to your family, friends, careers, society, and the world, you need to take care of your full self; mind, body, and soul. As defined, selfishness can be described as being concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself (Merriam-Webster dictionary). In contrast, I propose that the word self-full could be defined as concerned with or responsible for the care of yourself; mind, body, and soul. It's important to be filled up and feel full within yourself. Not full of yourself, but full within you. No one else, not your significant other or best friend, can do that or give that to you, nor are they responsible for your fulfillment. Why Self-Care is NOT Selfish Here's the other irony about being selfish, and read this carefully. The. Most. Important. Relationship. Is. The. One. With. Yourself. No matter what anyone else tells you, you can't argue with the fact that you will be with yourself for the rest of your life. You can't give away what you don't have. If you are focused only on giving to everyone else, then you become depleted, frustrated, annoyed, cranky, and low energy. Giving from a place of depletion does not lead to loving acts of kindness, service, or being your truest, you-est you. First, you must give yourself permission. By giving yourself the permission and time to engage in self-loving acts, you are giving those around you permission to do this as well. The same is also conversely true. Become Full in Yourself Here's why being "self-full" is good for you: Picture this scenario: you know how it goes though; you get up and snooze, only to have enough time to get your teeth brushed, a shower (if you're lucky) and your children's lunch in their bag (if they're lucky) with breakfast on the go in the car. It is on those kinds of days, that being self-full is that much more important. I know in tho

Meet Gay Hendricks Gay Hendricks has been a leader in the fields of relationship transformation and body-mind transformation for more than 45 years. After earning his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1974, Gay served as a Professor of Counseling Psychology at the University of Colorado for 21 years. He has written over 40 books, including bestsellers such as Five Wishes, The Big Leap, Conscious Loving, and Conscious Loving Ever After, (the last two co-authored with his co-author and mate for more than 35 years, Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks). He is also a mystery novelist, with a series of five books featuring the Tibetan-Buddhist private detective, Tenzing Norbu, as well as a new mystery series featuring a Victorian-era London detective, Sir Errol Hyde. His book Conscious Luck reveals eight ways to change your fortune through the power of intention. Gay has appeared on more than 500 radio and television shows, including Oprah, CNN, CNBC, 48 HOURS, and others. His latest book is The Genius Zone. Gay Hendricks has been a mentor from afar for years, and it was such a joy to interview him and share his incredible wisdom, stories, and magic. Get your earbuds, get out there on your walk or drive, and get ready to be wildly inspired. There were so many nuggets of wisdom and deep, honest sharing. I got you covered here with notes. Adding Magic To Your Life Gay Hendricks grew up with his grandparents and mother, as his father tragically died before he was born. He grew up with a lot of anger and frustration that got pushed down with food, sweets, and smoking. Gay shared that the Universe is always teaching you a lesson; it's just whether you're listening or not. He got tapped on the shoulder by the Universe when he was 24 years old in 1969. Gay was living in NH in an apartment, in a relationship and life he didn't like, and was carrying a good 150+ extra pounds. He fell on the ice and had a two-minute experience that changed his life. For the first time in his life, he could see all the levels of himself --- all the emotional layers that he hadn't felt, like anger, sadness, and eventually, in the middle was pure consciousness. He decided that day and committed to a new way of doing life. He made a declaration to himself and the Universe and committed to feeling this state of pure consciousness all the time, but without needing to fall down. He chose foods that fed pure consciousness (like blueberries instead of cheeseburgers, donuts, and blueberry pancakes) and committed to honoring his mind and body. Later that next day, he was invited to another event that also would change the course of his life. His friend took him to an event with a former Harvard professor who had gone to India and come back enlightened. He got to meet and hear Ram Dass in person and was turned on to meditation. This was just the beginning of the magic that has been a blessing in his life (like finding his wife Kathlyn) since he committed to being honest, taking responsibility, and honoring his creativity. Living in the Genius Zone Here's one of my favorites from Gay Hendricks in our conversation --- he said that 'Genius is contagious'. We are all meant to live in the genius zone. This is the zone where you are doing what you love without a sense of time lapsing while honoring your unique abilities. Gay Hendricks shared that within 20 years, he went from spending 10% of his time in the genius zone to 100% of his time in this zone, and because of this shift. And now, life feels like one continued blessing and gift. I realized that in this conversation, being your You-est You inherently means aligning and living in the genius zone. Some ways to discover your genius zone is to ask yourself what you love to do, where you lose a sense of time doing what you love, and what your specialized and unique abilities are. For example, thanks to Gay, I realized my genius zone is doing my podcast -- both in interviewing guests, sharing my thoughts, and creating a show that changes lives. I'd love to hear what you think your genius zone is! We all have them! Share in the You-est You Facebook community, or send me an email. The Upper Limit Problem Gay Hendricks goes into great depth about a ULP, the Upper Limit Problem. In sum, this is when you sabotage yourself when things go well. Gay teaches how to expand your capacity and override this pattern so that you learn how to experience greater lengths of joy and good. One of the ways to do this is to use what he calls the Ultra Success Mantra (USM), which I have on my desk and say daily. The USM is: "I expend in abundance, success, and love as I inspire others around me to do the same." What's important is that you are not only expanding the good within you but also creating opportunities to do the same for others. Change Your Relationship to Time If you're like me and you're sick and tired of being sick and tired that there's not enough time, ever, then listen up. Gay Hendricks talked about what he calls Einstein time versus New

Meet Sara Keough Sara Keough MS, CNS, LDN, is an "Eco-Nutritionist". She began her career in ecological work in her home state of Colorado and now practices as a clinical nutritionist in Maryland. She supports patients with a wide variety of health conditions, including digestive issues, autoimmune disorders, heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. Educating patients on the value of nutrient-dense foods and rewilding their microbiomes by consuming food from local, regenerative farmers is vitally important in her practice as this is an essential component of their healing process. Sara utilizes advanced functional testing in her practice to address the root cause of her patient's issues and to nourish their inner ecosystem. Sara Keough has been helping me on my journey with healing my thyroid, and I'm glad to share her wisdom, perspective, and knowledge to help you with your health and well-being. As always, please take what you like and leave the rest. The Body Can Heal Let's first start by remembering that our bodies are incredible at self-healing. They are designed to heal and be restored to complete health. Knowing this is crucial, especially if you are working on healing yourself from any kind of condition. It's crucial to affirm and know how powerful your body is. I personally believe that autoimmune disorders are intricately connected to a lack of self-love and self-compassion. Through my inner healing work, I've been learning that one of the most important things I can do is put my self-care first and prioritize loving myself. This might feel awkward and problematic at first, but if you stay with me and put your health first, it will be one of the most important things you can do for your health, well-being, and life. What Is Your Gut Microbiome? Healing your gut comes down to the microbiome. Think of the gut microbiome as a diverse garden. You want lots of variety of plants, flowers, and crops without weeds or dry soil. What's happening is that for many, we're decimating the beneficial, healthy species because of overconsumption of sugar, processed foods, antibiotics and chemicals, and toxins. Over time this can create fungal, yeast, or bacteria overgrowth. Ideally, you want a gut biome that's a flourishing ecosystem in harmony and full of diversity. Secrets for Healing Your Gut Some basic ways for healing your gut are chewing your food thoroughly, eating fermented foods, and increasing your stomach acid and enzymes with good probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive tonics. Sara Keough shares her favorite digestive tonic, which is made with: 1 quart of water 1/4 c of Apple Cider Vinegar 1/4 c of lemon juice 1/4 c of raw honey (or don't add if you're sensitive to sugar) and grated ginger root. This tonic is an excellent way to aid your digestion and help with gut healing. You'll want to drink 4 oz with every meal and keep a fresh batch weekly. Sara also recommended supporting your local farmers and buying local whenever possible.

Meet Danielle LaPorte Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah's SuperSoul 100, a group who, in Oprah Winfrey's words, "is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters." The former director of a future studies think tank in Washington, DC, where she managed a team creating global scenarios, she now speaks about the intelligence of the heart. Her most recent book, How To Be Loving: When Your Heart Is Breaking Open and Our World Is Waking Up, is also an Audiobook + eBook with a companion deck and journal––to be released in October 2022. Danielle is also the author of The Fire Starter Sessions, The Desire Map, and White Hot Truth, and producer of dozens of meditation kits and online programs for spiritual support. Danielle is the creator of the Heart Centered Membership and the Heart Centered Leaders Program, with 400+ leaders in 30 countries hosting conversation circles, retreats, and workshops in all kinds of communities and businesses. Her podcast, With Love, Danielle, often ranks in iTunes' top 10 for wellness. Most of her offerings—from the Heart Centered Membership to her online classes—are on a pay-what-you-choose basis. Named one of the Top 100 Websites for Women by Forbes, millions of people a month visit DanielleLaPorte.com. Marianne Williamson refers to Danielle "as a bright light." V (formerly known as Eve Ensler) calls her "a force field of energy, wonder, humor, and love." Her charities of choice are Ally Global Foundation, helping survivors of human trafficking to rebuild their lives (@allyglobal), Trees Sisters'Sisters' reforestation projects (@treesisters_official), and VDay, a movement to end violence against women and girls (vdayorg). Danielle LaPorte lives in Vancouver, BC. You can find her on most places on social media @daniellelaporte. This book is so incredibly wise, and you'll want to listen more than once. We discussed Danielle's newest book, How To Be Loving, published by Sounds True, in great depth especially focusing on the tricky parts we often don't accept, allow or embrace. Put on your seatbelt and get ready for a powerful journey within… Loving The Ego The old way of viewing the ego is to see it as something to banish, get rid of, override or overcome. I loved Danielle LaPorte's approach and her focus on loving it all, including your ego. Yes, your ego needs and deserves love too. As she said, "I created it. And as the mother of it all, I am responsible for loving and caring for every aspect of myself." Danielle does this by telling her ego that she's not leaving or abandoning this part of herself, and as she said, ''I got you.'' This means having a conversation with ourselves that is loving, compassionate, and unconditional. This means loving your insecurities and anything you wish you could change. Learn to love it as it is. Accept it as it is. Thank this part of you, as it brings the opportunity to love yourself even more. Woah, that's a big reframe if I've ever seen one. Try it, and let me know what you think and feel. What is it like to truly call in love for every single aspect of yourself? Self-Improvement Gone Bad The issue for many of us steeped in the self-improvement world is the incessant desire to constantly evolve, awaken and become enlightened. There's nothing wrong with wanting to grow, but this non-stop desire can actually be the ego, or the spiritual ego, incognito. Underneath the striving is this belief that you need to do these things to be worthy in God's eyes. Danielle LaPorte explains a better and more loving way to see this. You were born whole. This is liberating because it means you don't have to push, strive and work hard for worthiness. You are already worthy because you were born. In reality, what we're also talking about is the energy from which you're coming. It's more energizing to come from a celebratory focus versus striving. But in the end, self-compassion is the whole point. Be compassionate to everyone, including yourself. You can do this by identifying with your light and heart. Over and over again. Power Redefined I love how Danielle La Porte talks about and explains receptivity. In essence, the way that we receive the cues from the Universal mind is through receptivity. The way to being receptive is through stillness and calming down your nervous system, mind, and overall being. Silence and stillness become your best allies as they help you to slow down and tap into the universal intelligence waiting for you to pay attention. As you connect to your divine downloads, you tap into a power that is beyond your mind, ego, and limited understanding. This is power redefined and it starts with being receptive. As Danielle said, "the light WANTS to come in." We then need to learn to pause, be our own guru, and allow for the light to come in. The Secret To It All The most important ingredient not to be overlooked is the power of forgiveness. Here are a few powerful questions to ponder as they relate to forgiveness: Who c

Meet Julie Reisler Julie Reisler is a mentor and certified master life coach with over ten years of coaching experience and a master's degree in health & wellness coaching from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Julie is the founder of the Life Designer® Coach Academy, a lifestyle coaching certification. She is also the host and founder of the You-est You® Podcast, which is in over 175 countries, and the author of Get a PhD in YOU. Julie has been featured in Forbes magazine, MindBodyGreen, The Chopra Center, and Thrive Global. She is also a prominent teacher, course creator, and guide on the popular app Insight Timer and is on the faculty at Georgetown University in their graduate wellness coach program. To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. I see you and our growing 'You-est You' community as a movement and way to encourage one another to feel safe enough to express yourself fully. I believe when enough of us can create an environment where others can be their truest selves --- feeling seen, heard, and known at the deepest level, we will have a much safer and more empowering world. It starts, of course, with doing the inner work within to see where we can be more loving and kind to ourselves. In this solo episode, I shared my struggles with the feeling 'I'm Not Enough' syndrome and how comparing myself to others has never worked well. Letting your inner critic drag you down. I'm hoping this talk will inspire you to look within your 'You-est You' so that you can start changing the way you see and feel about your miraculous self. Please let me know what resonates and as always, take what you love and release the rest. Feeling 'I'm Not Enough' Syndrome I can't be the only one here who has experienced the awful feeling 'not enough' syndrome. It happens anytime you somehow measure yourself to someone else or an unrealistic ideal. Allowing your inner critic to corrupt your thoughts and make you feel lesser than others. The problem is that if you're living your life from the lens of "I'm not enough", "It's not enough", or any aspect of not being, having, or doing enough, you will always come up short. Over time you'll create patterns and habits of thought that have you believe that nothing you do is enough and that something is off and wrong with you. As Ben Hardy shared in a recent interview about his book, The Gap and The Gain, co-authored with Dan Sullivan, staying in the gap means consistently looking for where you fall short and how you compare to others. With this outlook, you'll never win. Yet so many of us do this (myself included). Rather, if you're focused on the gain, you'll be looking at how you're doing compared to where you were before or how you've grown and transformed for the better. Basically, we're talking about going from a lack mindset to a growth mindset. You have to rewire your brain for success. I hope that you'll better understand that your beliefs about 'not being enough' are untrue and what is needed is a re-routing of your thought patterns. My intention is to give you tools, strategies, and ways to start a whole new way of seeing yourself and your life from an empowering lens. How To Overcome 'Not Enough' Mean Inner Critic Before I share these powerful tips to stop the mean inner critic, you have to become aware of it. I want you to get a notepad or place to jot down your thoughts and to track your 'not enough' self-talk for a full day. If you can do this for a week, even better, but best to start with a day and see what you find. It's important for you to get how prominent this voice is and what it's actually saying. For example, mine might say something like "that's great you had 20 people at your workshop, but if you were really making an impact, you would have had 100." Oh yeah, she's mean and incessant and constantly comes up with ways to make me feel like I'm not good enough. This voice might also tell me that I should have more social media followers, more toned arms, or compare me to others in my industry, even though we are all unique snowflakes. How about you? What does your 'not enough' voice sound like? I promise not to leave you hanging. Below are my 3 ways to turn this feeling 'not enough' boat around, with a bonus 4th tip because, sigh, 3 were 'not enough'. Pro-tip, you've got to be able to laugh at and with yourself. 1. To Compare Is To Despair I remember hearing this in a 12-step meeting almost 20 years ago. I thought to myself, that's nice, 'to compare is to despair,' yet I didn't fully get it until I really marinated with what this means. I can remember doing this at a young age when I'd be in my leotard for ballet or my swimsuit for the swim team. I let my inner critic drown everything else out. I compared myself to all the other girls in class or on my team and always came up short. I felt less graceful, less athletic, less coordinated, less in shape...I just felt less, less, less. T

Meet Acharya Shunya Acharya Shunya is a truth-teller who facilitates authenticity, self-remembrance, and divine feminine pathways to awakening within. The first female head of her 2,000-year-old Indian spiritual lineage, Shunya reinterprets and re-contextualizes ancient teachings for modern times, empowering people everywhere to lead fearless, fulfilled, and enlightened lives. She is president of the Awakened Self Foundation and founder of Vedika Global, Inc. in California. She is the author of the bestselling books Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom and Sovereign Self and her newest book, Roar Like a Goddess. She lives in Northern California. Let me tell you, my friend, that this conversation brought me to tears. Acharya Shunya is a powerful example of a pure embodiment of the divine feminine and goddess energy and is full of cosmic wisdom and universal truths. I'm so excited to share much of our conversation here. I hope you'll tune in -- you'll certainly be touched, moved, and inspired. Perhaps you'll be moved to tears too, like yours truly. Enjoy! Celebrating the Divine Feminine Acharya Shunya was taught early on by her grandfather, a master teacher, that she would head the lineage even though she is a female. She was told this at nine years old and learned at a young age that this would be her path and dharma, regardless of her gender. She would be the first head of her lineage in over 2,000 years and begin to change the ancient custom and weave in the power of bringing in the divine feminine and teachings of the Goddess. Unconditional Self-Respect Acharya Shunya teaches in her book, Roar Like A Goddess, that part of our learning is to see ourselves like the divine, which means creating non-negotiable respect and safety for ourselves. It's important to remember that even in the darkest moments, we are connected to the divine light. Our goal is not just to speak and proclaim our self-respect but to know it and embody this unconditional self-love and respect. The Power of Shakti There is only one Goddess force in the Vedic tradition, which is called Shakti. Shakti in Sanskrit means power. This all-encompassing feminine power invites, rather than destroys, builds rather than tears down. The three aspects of Shakti are exemplified through the three Goddesses: Durga, Saraswati, and Lakshmi. Acharya Shunya teaches how to connect to the powerful energy, lessons, and wisdom of each Goddess. Here's a quick overview to give you a taste of their universal teachings for a beautiful life: 1) Durga - Durga gives you permission to own your power and shed fear. She is all about getting in touch with your power within and expressing what Shunya calls 'righteous rage'. This is a highly conscious rage that can stem from years and lifetimes of being marginalized and overlooked. Durga is about cutting through fear. 2) Saraswati - Saraswati is all about knowingness and discernment. This energy asks you to discern what is a minor matter and/or what is a world manner. She helps you to convert trauma into growth for greater transformation and healthy, full expression of your potentiality. 3) Lakshmi - Lakshmi is all about the heart, love, playfulness, rest, and prosperity. She is anchored in conscious behavior, not just a scripted way of being. Her energy reminds us to play, connect to our sexuality and sensuality, find balance and enjoy the fullness of life. Roar Like a Goddess It's time to connect to the Goddess energy, frequency, and wisdom. First, you must roar with courage. Next, you must roar with fullness, balance, and abundance. We all need to roar with healing, higher consciousness, and compassion. May you be inspired by Acharya Shunya's example of what's possible for women and all of humanity, and may you roar like a Goddess! Final Thoughts Acharya Shunya shines her light for all of us to see the goddess within us. It is the goddess energy where we find the courage to create non-negotiable respect and safety for ourselves. Be sure to check out her latest book Roar Like a Goddess.

Meet Eme Ray Eme Ray is the CEO & founder of two multi-7-figure businesses, has been in the online space for over 20 years, is a certified Life Designer® Coach, certified trainer of NLP, and certified facilitator with XChange. Eme joined me on today's episode to unpack the three common misconceptions and secrets to building your thriving and prosperous coaching practice. We have also teamed up to launch Monetize Your Purpose in early 2023. It's a powerful group program within my Life Designer® Coach Academy. It helps coaches learn step by step how to birth their coaching business with confidence, clarity, and the know-how for a business that does not follow traditional sales and marketing rules. To get on the waitlist, go to juliereisler.com/myp. If you are in the coaching, healing, or service space, you might not realize that the tried and true ways to grow a coaching business are not the same as product-based companies. Eme and I chatted all about this to give you the tips, strategies, and secrets we've both learned along the way to help you in your own marketing and growth efforts. We both feel strongly that it's imperative for you to have the tools and confidence needed to thrive and be an even greater light in the world because the world sure does need you. If you've struggled with getting out there and becoming more visible and influential in your space, this episode is for you. We have you covered, my friend, and we hope you'll find these suggestions helpful and easy to implement. If you still want greater support after listening, please let me know, and we'll follow up with you about the next launch of Monetize Your Purpose within the Life Designer® Coach Academy. As always, take what you like and leave the rest. 3 Secrets to Building a Coaching Business Secret #1 You're not in a typical business. Focus on building authentic relationships more than you would in any kind of product-based business. We discussed what this means when you have a coaching business and how to create organic and genuine connections with others you can collaborate, partner with, and sometimes work with. If you follow the typical marketing roadmap, you will end up overwhelmed and exhausted. Secret #2 Speaking of overwhelm, if you find yourself in overwhelm often, you are in the danger zone of losing steam and momentum. You've got to learn how to bring in more ease, calm, and focus so that you don't burn yourself out. Eme and I shared ways to do this that we've both used within our coaching business. Secret #3 Mindset is everything. With a growth mindset and powerful intention, you can build your momentum back and allow the Universe to step in and guide you and your actions. This is a key that took a while for me to understand. If you're used to being the high achiever worker bee who does everything, you'll need to learn how to work smarter, not harder. And how to align your mindset with your higher potential and that of your higher self, i.e., your You-est You. This one takes practice, and we shared some practical ways to do this. Final Thoughts If you are ready to grow your coaching practice, visibility, and impact in the world, and conquer these three secrets, make sure to get on the waitlist for my upcoming live group program, Monetize Your Purpose, opening back up in 2023. Eme Ray, an online business genius with two 7 figure businesses and incredible coaching and mindset credentials, will be partnering with me to lead this course. We know that it will make a difference in your life and for those you're here to work with. Get on the waitlist here juliereisler.com/myp.

The 4 Common Roadblocks For New Coaches In this solo episode, I talked about the 4 most common roadblocks I've seen get in the way of new coaches getting traction and momentum when starting a coaching business. Whether you're a coach, a creative, or an entrepreneur, you'll probably identify with these roadblocks in your own career as well. After a decade of coaching leaders and entrepreneurs and teaching the art and skill of coaching to hundreds of students, and in my own coaching journey, I know what can get in the way of making a greater impact and growing your business. In this week's episode, I'm pulling the curtain back on the four things to watch out for so that they don't stop you from being your You-est You when starting a coaching business or entrepreneurial endeavor. You Don't Have To Have It All Together Ok, my friend, let's just get something straight. We are never going to have it all figured out. Life will never be perfect, and no matter how much personal growth work you do, you will not always have it all together. And that's ok. Don't let this be a reason that stops you from feeling like you can start a coaching business and be a mentor to others. One of the secrets is that as a coach, it's never about you anyhow. In fact, what you are is an expert at learning how to listen at a deep level to help your client accomplish and align with their greatest desires and goals. In essence, you are helping them to be their best self or "You-est You." Don't let the trap of thinking you have to be perfect or have your life working perfectly get in the way of your coaching and making a greater impact. I shared a few tips on how to put this fear to bed. Don't Downplay Your Worth It's easy, especially for newer coaches, to get cold feet when discussing pricing and money. This is one of the reasons I believe it's crucial for coaches to invest their personal resources, time, and money in being coached. You have to know at a deep, cellular level the power of coaching. I worked with a coach years ago who literally changed my life with one powerful question. That question, and life pivot, was the impetus for my return to school to get a master's degree in coaching and integrative wellbeing. While I strongly believe in being certified and trained in this work since it is not as easy as it seems and is not about giving advice, being an expert or a cheerleader, you need to value yourself and the training you did receive. By undercharging, you end up undervaluing your services and the value of this work. I share a few ways to shift your belief and own your worth when starting a coaching business so you overcome that roadblock and can make a greater impact. Overcoming The Fear of Visibility A big roadblock I often see is the discomfort with being seen and putting yourself out there, be it through sending emails, sharing on social media, or any kind of marketing. The secret is becoming so in love with your 'why' that it supersedes any other fear of visibility. One of the ways to do this is to ask yourself this three-part question: Why is being a coach important to you, those you're here to support and serve, and the world? Get clear on your why, put it on your favorite post-it wall or in your phone reminders, and marry your why. Putting yourself out there, and making yourself visible leads to making a greater impact. The two go hand in hand. Rebuilding Your Confidence The best and most important way to build and expand your confidence as a coach is...wait for it...coaching! You need to continue practicing your craft and coaching as much as possible to utilize your coaching skills & training and boost your experience. When starting a coaching business, you must realize it takes time to build mastery. Don't let being a new coach, or being out of practice, get in the way of your taking action to find new clients to coach. Even if it means starting pro-bono or at a lower rate as you rebuild your confidence muscle, the important thing is to get out there and share with your peers, friends, and community that you are eager to coach and support clients to design and live their best life. Th

Sami founded her multi-seven-figure relationships brand after exiting a successful career as a gold medalist economist with a Masters in public policy. Since then, she has improved the love lives of thousands of women, including celebrities, senior executives, and entrepreneurs in over 55 countries across the globe. Her expertise has been featured in media outlets including Forbes, Glamour, TIME, Marie Claire, Business Insider, and the BBC. She lives in Germany with her adoring husband, Chris, and their two boys. If you are eager to attract your forever partner or at least someone you vibe with and love dating and being with, this is the conversation for you. We dug into what it takes to find your partner and real love. Tune in to hear more tips, practices, and ways to align your energy to attract your match. The Power of Setting Boundaries If you feel icky about setting boundaries or have any negative connotation with them, listen up my friend. We discussed the importance of shifting your mindset around setting boundaries from negative to neutral to positive. Learning to have good boundaries is both an act of self-love and helps your partner know your parameters. And as Sami Wunder shared, setting boundaries can be super sexy! Who knew?! A New Way to See Intimacy Think of this as Into-Me-I-See (Get it? Intimacy is into-me-I-see). In other words, you're allowing your partner to view all aspects of you. Sami Wunder shares that this is why learning to be vulnerable, open, and love all of yourself, without judgment, is crucial to fully embracing yourself and allowing your partner to see all of you. It can be tough to get close to another person and expose your vulnerabilities. Start by accepting these parts of yourself that you might have neglected, overlooked, or denied. Learn to celebrate and adore yourself first, as this will permit your partner to do the same. The Power of Feminine Energy and Receiving So many of us high-achieving women are used to being go-getters, taking action, being driven, and all about the goal, which is tapping into empowered masculine energy. All human beings have both masculine and feminine energy to draw upon, regardless of sex or gender. Sami Wunder shared about being raised by a mother who told her to always be strong, driven, goal-driven, and make her own money at all costs. While her mom was trying to be helpful, it caused a lot of stress and health issues for Sami. We discussed the importance of the signature feminine energy of 'being' versus 'doing'. This might feel odd and weird at first, but learning to be -- be present in the moment and receiving can be important in your relationship and for your health. Final Thoughts Sami Wunder shares about the importance of setting boundaries and how setting boundaries promotes a feeling of self-love and expands a sense of healthy relationship parameters. She also imparts her wisdom both from being a high-achieving woman and working with them that you can't be afraid to step into your feminine energy. That you can still be wildly successful in balancing both masculine and feminine energy. Sami Wunder has prepared a special masterclass called 'Lean In At Work, Lean Back In Love' in which she shares 3 mindset shifts that high-achieving women can make to be successful not only in their careers but also in dating and relationships. She is sharing this with anyone who would like Feminine Energy life training.

Meet Emily McAllister Emily McAllister, my dear sister from the same mister, is an incredible photographer, writer, and truth-teller. Emily is a creative, entrepreneur, mama in recovery to two adorable girls, and soon-to-be author. Emily is a Boston-native living in Southern California, where she owns her photography business, Emily McAllister Photography. Emily also works as a freelance writer and an occasional public speaker. Emily's writing has been featured on Scary Mommy, The Dad, What's Up Moms, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Love What Matters, and more. Emily has been a guest on several podcasts where she shares everything from her recovery story, her experience with maternal mental health, as well as her entrepreneurial journey that led her to professional photography. She is currently working on her first non-fiction book but in the meantime, shares her sassy, sometimes racy, and often hilarious thoughts on Twitter @Emily_tweets. Feeling Like a Misfit & Coloring Outside The Lines Emily McAllister talked about her inherent wiring to follow her own rules and color outside the lines. I've seen these self-starting and non-rule following traits in entrepreneurs as major assets. While this didn't feel like a strength growing up, she later learned that her creativity, resilience, and authenticity led Emily to start her own successful business. She had to follow her messy, nonlinear journey and truly be her 'You-est You' to find her own genuine path. If you also tend to color outside the lines and go against the grain or zig where others zag, know that this is often your greatest gift. Follow it and embrace all of yourself. Laughter As Medicine Laughter helped Emily McAllister heal traumas from the past as they related to substance abuse and addiction. She learned that by sharing her deepest, darkest stories with others, a healing happened in that true connection. Today, in addition to being a photographer, Emily is a speaker and loves helping other women to share their stories. One of her biggest messages-don't take yourself or your challenges too seriously. Learn to laugh with and at yourself, and you'll start the inner healing process in a way you couldn't have imagined. The Mom Life Crisis This is really about feeling lost - both in losing herself to motherhood and her own identity - to finding a whole new sense of self. From breakdown to breakthrough, the mom life crisis has been humbling for Emily, and she shares how this period of being lost and overwhelmed can lead you back to a stronger form of yourself. The trick is to stay with the feelings, to feel your feelings fully, and allow what's next to arise naturally. You're Only As Sick As Your Secrets Emily McAllister's biggest lesson to share is so powerful. In essence, when we hide parts of ourselves or our truth, we are allowing shame to take over and disconnect us from real connection. Sharing the secrets, stories, and situations you've held in shame will change your life. This is much of what has helped Emily in her own recovery journey, along with taking ownership of her life and realizing that we have a part in all aspects of our life movie. A reminder, life isn't happening to you; it's happening for you. In sum, it's about owning your sh*t and eating donuts (if you so desire). Final Thoughts Emily McAllister is a perfect example of how to wrangle mom life with grace even on the days you want to crawl back in bed (because we ALL do and that's ok) and how coloring outside the lines is what makes you uniquely perfect. To use that gift to share your dark secret, to shine the light on them so that you, and others, realize they aren't so scary after all.

Meet Colin Beavan Colin Beavan, Ph.D., is a sought-after coach, speaker, consultant, and Zen Teacher in the Kwan Um Zen tradition. He attracted international attention for his year-long lifestyle-redesign project and the wildly popular book, No Impact Man, and the Sundance-selected documentary film it inspired. Colin ran for the US House of Representatives in New York's 8th Congressional District in 2012, was the founder of the No Impact Project, a board member of Transportation Alternatives, an advisory council member of 350.org, and a guest professor at Sarah Lawrence College. He is the author, most recently, of How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World. He can be found at www.colinbeavan.com as well as on Instagram @ColinBeavan. No Impact Man Experiment Colin Beavan set out on a year-long experiment back in 2009 to live environmentally friendly in an extreme way in NYC. He wanted to explore how we can live where we help others and ourselves, understand our role in the environment and climate change, and the impact we make (the inspiration for his No Impact Project, by the way). This year-long project became the documentary, No Impact Man, where Colin focused each month on another issue in the environment and then removed it from his life. He addressed issues like trash, water use, degradation, transportation, and buying only local food. In pursuing these areas of concern, another big question came up - is there a way to build a community that naturally embeds this kind of consciousness into its fabric of society? The year proved to be a powerful experiment in allowing Colin to get healthier and step off the treadmill of constant 'doing' and being glued to screens, giving him more nourishing time to spend with his young daughter, family, and friends. How To Be Alive and Kind This No Impact Man opportunity opened up more questions that he addressed in his book, How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World, about choosing a way of being where we're both taken care of and taking care of others. This mutual care scenario would allow for a greater sense of security and meaning, two important aspects of having a good life. Colin Beavan unpacked the deeper question of finding meaning in one's life by answering the following questions, which I encourage you to address for yourself: 1) Understanding yourself: Who are you, and what feels important to you? 2) What is the world to you, and what do you care about? 3) How might you bring these two answers together? It's Time To Create A World Based on Kindness Much of Colin Beavan's studies and wisdom comes from the Zen tradition, a mystical practice that focuses much of your time and energy on staying deep, open-ended questions like 'Who are you?' and not knowing the answer. Colin shared about a master teacher he encountered early on who shared that the ideal is "to wash your mind with 'I don't know' soap." In other words, when you're not interfering with 'knowing' something, you can respond to how the world naturally responds. Under this practice is building your trust in the Universe. Now What's Next? We're in times where many are confused, scared, and anxious but want to bring in more kindness. Tune in to hear a beautiful practice to stay in the 'not knowing' and call in greater connection to kindness. Final Thought Colin Beavan's efforts to change the world one step at a time led to a movement we can all join in big or small ways. No Impact Man is well worth the watch to uncover the impact we have on the world with the choices we make, even unconsciously, every day. Be sure to pick up a copy of his latest book, How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World.

Meet Roger Love Roger Love is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on voice. No other vocal coach in history has been more commercially successful in both the speaking and singing fields. Roger has produced over 150 million unit sales worldwide and has written three top-selling books. Roger coaches singers such as John Mayer and Selena Gomez, as well as speakers like Anthony Robbins and actors including Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana, Keira Knightly, and Bradley Cooper. Roger has generously offered a $50 gift certificate to learn how to harness your voice. It is waiting for you right now at http://rogerlove.com/julie You're about to learn new ways to overcome self-doubt and build confidence and the most important things no one's ever told you about using your voice to become a more successful entrepreneur and change-maker. How To Use Your Voice As An Instrument Roger Love is the absolute best in the world at helping you to use the power of your voice to bring out the best of who you are. Science proves that what we say is first processed emotionally, then logically. The emotions are first passed through the prefrontal cortex. In other words, it's not just the words that affect how you feel when someone speaks to you. A myriad of variables, like pitch, volume, and melody, will have you decide if you trust or like the person speaking. Roger has created innovative and incredibly powerful techniques to develop your voice as an instrument that you can use in any way you choose. Listen in to learn some of these brilliant strategies like ascending and descending scales. Hint: you were probably taught early on the wrong way to use your voice, and this one tip could make a massive difference in the way others perceive you and your message. Tune in to learn how to use the power of your voice to make a larger impact. Overcoming Fear of Public Speaking Did you know that the fear of public speaking is one of the biggest fears? Ironically, speaking in public, be it on stage, within your company, making a pitch, or leading others is an essential skill. Roger Love shares how to use the voice's building blocks and the five-voice variables to be an effective communicator. But still, it's crucial to use them in the right way, and how you use you use the building blocks is dependent on the emotion you want to evoke. As you learn how to use your voice and build confidence, how to get over a fear of public speaking becomes a non-issue. The Five Key Variables Of Your Voice I bet you didn't know that there are 5 aspects to your voice. And with practice, you can learn to evoke and tap into the 23 main emotions, like gratitude, empathy, and even anger, at any time. Roger trains some leading actors and celebrities, as well as speakers and leaders, on eliciting any emotion they want to communicate. These 5 main variables or voice building blocks are: Pitch Volume Melody Tune Pace Understanding The Power of Your Voice You may not realize it, but knowing how to breathe (Roger gave a really fun demo in the interview) can change the way you speak and sound. Most of us breathe through our mouths or speak without enough breath. Roger Love calls this phenomenon 'Vocal Fry', and it sounds like you're out of breath. If you're looking to speak more --- be it on stage, on a podcast, in front of colleagues, or at an event, tune in so you can use the power of your voice to do this properly. We had a blast practicing how to breathe through the nose and speak while the air is leaving your diaphragm. Final Thoughts Roger Love was such a joy to have on the show sharing his knowledge as a vocal coach. Who knew that how to get over a fear of public speaking can lie in the power of your voice?

I struggled for years with a sense that I wasn't enough. I felt a lack of self-worth that affected all aspects of my life, including my body image and the way I saw myself. I'm here first off to remind you that your self-worth has nothing to do with what you do or your achievements. You are worthy because you are born. All of us are. You're inherently worthy. Period. 5 Ways To Increase Your Self-Worth Now that we've got that straight, I want to share with you the five ways I've found to help increase your self-worth. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. 1. Say No More Often Yes, you heard me right. It might sound counterintuitive but say no more often! By learning to speak up for yourself, saying no and getting out of the people-pleasing rut, you're learning to feel ok saying no. When you say no, you allow yourself to make room for what is a full yes. This builds self-efficacy! 2. Be Impeccable with Your Words Be mindful and impeccable with your words. As Don Miguel Ruiz shares in his book (one of my absolute faves), The Four Agreements, you must be impeccable with your word. Here's the catch, be impeccable with the words you use towards and with yourself. Start to recognize, track and watch what you say to yourself. Watch what you say to others as well, and build real integrity with your words and actions. This builds confidence and self-worth. 3. Forgive Yourself Forgive Yourself is a practice that will allow you to release shame, guilt, regret, and feelings of 'not good enough'. Write a list of resentments you have with and towards yourself. Look at them as an observer and go deeper to see what was under each resentment and fear. Write about that fear and have compassion for yourself. You can't change the past, but you can change the present, which will change your future. This is not only helpful for building your worthiness but also healing for your mind and body. 4. Focus on Your Strengths Focus on your strengths rather than where you're falling short. It's so easy (thank you, 'negative bias') to feel like you're always coming up short, missing out, and comparing yourself to others. Rather than focusing on what's not working, aim your attention on your strengths. Write a list of your strengths. For example, some of your top strengths are creativity, empathy, kindness, writing, deep listening, and open-mindedness. Create a practice before the end of each day where you look at how you tapped into your strengths. What you focus on will expand and make you feel more and more self-worth. 5. Turn to a Higher Power Don't do your life alone. Take time every morning before answering texts and calls and checking your Instagram feed to connect to a source and power greater than yourself. Whether you call it the Divine Matrix, Infinite Intelligence, God, Goddess, The Universe, Source Energy, or Higher Power, find a way to anchor into this greater channel of wisdom, love, and light. I shared some practices I do to help me feel more connected to the Divine. Find what works for you and make this a mandatory practice. You will start to feel an increased sense of self-worth and a deeper relationship with Divine Order. The World Is A Mirror Don't forget that the world is a mirror reflecting what you see within yourself. As you strengthen your sense of self-worth, you'll not only see this in others but it will be reflected back to you. The goal, of course, is not to need it reflected back by others but to cultivate this from within and with your Higher Power. Final Thoughts Here's to your remembering your worthiness and increasing your sense of self-worth! Side note, if you would like 1:1 mentorship and support and accountability to help increase your self-worth, feel free to reach out and set up a time to chat. As a master life coach, helping you to feel more worthy and have more confidence is one of my favorite ways to be of service. You can learn more about my

Meet Cathy Heller Cathy Heller is a fire hose of inspiration. She's the host of the popular podcast, Don't Keep Your Day Job, which has 30 million downloads and has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, HuffPost, Inc Magazine, Business Insider, and several times by Apple. Each week Cathy encourages thousands of listeners to find more purpose, make an impact, and build an abundant life by doing what they love. She's interviewed successful authors, celebrities, entrepreneurs, spiritual leaders, experts, and everyday heroes about what led them to the biggest moments in their lives. She shares how you, too, can create a life you can't wait to wake up to every day. Cathy's book Don't Keep Your Day Job is filled with inspirational stories from people in her community who have taken control of their life's journey. Her book details how to find the work you're meant to do, grow your business, and wake up to a life you love. She is a phenomenal leader for spiritual seekers, creatives, and entrepreneurs, and she's helping people everywhere add their gifts to the world. Cathy often says, "purpose is the opposite of depression." She is truly lifting others to be the happiest version of themselves. You can learn more at cathyheller.com Discomfort Is The Gift Cathy Heller had a record deal but was dropped from the label. She left her dream of singing and writing music to get into real estate. While financially successful, Cathy felt miserable. She remembered advice from a Tony Robbins tape (I know, so old school, but we used to listen to cassette tapes), which said to ask a good question of yourself. In doing this, Cathy asked herself what she really wanted to do and realized at the time it was to write music. She cold-called producers and directors of TV shows (mind you, without any prior relationship) and got good at building her discomfort muscle. While it was super uncomfortable at first, Cathy Heller pursued these contacts and started to ask what they needed help with. The response was that she was the first person to ask what was needed and truly listen. She pushed beyond her comfort zone and kept calling, making new relationships with producers, and soon was writing music for hit TV shows. Cathy explained that stepping out of her comfort zone and doing it anyway became a gift. And that her business was about radical empathy, as Seth Godin says. They responded to her humility and willingness to listen. Her discomfort was the gift that kept giving as she learned to tap into these same principles and expanded into teaching others how to grow their business. Ask This Question To Pursue Your Goal The question that kept Cathy Heller exploring newer and higher heights was what she needed to do next. She often didn't know but would assume she could figure it out. Cathy took the next right action and step, adding in authenticity and humility, and grew her business to seven figures. This question of what do I need to do next, is one she continues to ask herself. Why Courage Is A Must Courage is truly the juicy part. You learn to make a choice even if fear is there because in the end, you can go to bed with your soul at peace. You've got to reframe how you look at courage. The goal is to grow and tap into courage, not to be comfortable. Courage is the ingredient that will allow you to move past your ego and fear. Facing courage and doing it anyway moves you beyond your comfort zone and will enable you to reach your dreams. As Deepak Chopra says, who we are is the divine pretending to be a person, and courage is really about showing up as your divine self. Abundance & Thriving Are Your Birthright We live in a vibrational field where our thoughts have a vibrational frequency. Within 4 seconds, you can feel another person's vibe -- literally. Our job is to thrive. Scarcity is an illusion and is not true. The bigger issue is our capacity to receive and trust that we're meant to be abundance. Just look at our bodies with over 50 trillion cells, powerhouse cells thriving and scientifically connected to the planets, and cosmos, as depicted by our circadian rhythm. It's time to trust our inherent abundance. In truth, our greatest abundance is our creativity. We're creators and meant to be innovating, thriving, and creating. What has helped Cathy Heller build her dream life and call in greater abundance is setting a daily practice of meditation and purposely being generous. Cathy meditates every morning to connect to a state of oneness, which ironically is a realm of being one with all and a nobody. She also lists 5 things every day of ways she can be generous and give to others. Her nugget of wisdom: stop overthinking, give from a place of true gratitude and abundance and watch the natural momentum. Final Thoughts Be courageous. Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Being afraid and doing it anyway is a perfectly natural state of being but remember you are a Divine being, and facing your discomfort will take y

Meet Yanik Silver Yanik Silver has been called a Cosmic Catalyst, a Maverick Mischief-maker, and a Galactic Goofball. He redefines how business is played in the 21st century at the intersection of evolutionary growth, impact, and fun. Yanik is the creator of the Cosmic Journal, author of Evolved Enterprise, and the founder of Maverick1000, a global collective of visionary entrepreneurs making a serious difference in the world without taking themselves too seriously. In fact, it's not unusual to find him dressed as a lemur, a showgirl, or even in matching mermaid tails with Sir Richard Branson. Yanik believes we all have our own "Cosmic Alarm Clock" that goes off at exactly the right time to fulfill our destiny of greatness. It starts as a whisper, a small voice that gets louder and louder until you either answer it or hit snooze. He has spent his life exploring that connection of head, heart, and highest purpose…with his colored pens in hand. It might have all started when he snuck out at age 5 to buy markers—only to catch the wrong bus home and end up at the police station. (Undaunted, his love of doodling and exploring still continues to this day!) Get ready for a cosmic conversation that transversed time, space, and anything ordinary. We set the intention for this chat to be purposeful, playful, and profitable, meaning that by listening and getting inspired by the different questions and ideas shared, you will be more connected to your purpose, deep joy of play, and by following your inner guidance, more profitable. Yanik Silver left Russia when he was three years old and watched as his father went from having a few hundred dollars to becoming a successful entrepreneur making a real impact in the world. He learned from growing up in an entrepreneurial environment how to turn ideas into businesses and meaningful work. Here are some of the highlights from our talk that I think will benefit you, whether you are an entrepreneur or hoping to tap more deeply into your soul's gifts. Questions Create Your Answers One of the biggest takeaways from our talk is the importance of asking questions that are going to expand your way of thinking and overall consciousness. Definitely check out Yanik's Cosmic Journal for a ton of powerful and enlightening questions. The following questions catalyzed Yanik to shift gears and reevaluate his life and authentic happiness. After starting a successful business yet feeling a little lost, he asked himself, "Am I happy?" and "Would I be happy in 10 years doing what I'm doing now?" He dared to truly listen to his inner guidance, which clearly said, 'no.' He decided to change his career path, and while it took time to take off, he chose to listen to his soul. Your Cosmic Alarm Clock You might ask, what is this cosmic alarm clock? Think of it as your wake-up call from your soul. It starts as a whisper, and if you don't pay attention, it will get louder. Because we have free will, hitting the snooze button and staying asleep to what's calling you is always an option. One thing Yanik (and I) have noticed is that it's almost never a good time to do what your soul wants you to do. The question for you will be whether to follow what's waking you up. I shared about my cosmic alarm clock waking me up at 3:33 am about 14 years ago. It had me make a drastic change and u-turn in my life. It was not easy, yet it was one of the most critical and soul-awakening experiences in my life. Yanik experienced this too by realizing that he was not doing work that truly moved his soul. Your Self-worth Is Not Your Networth It's important to remember, especially those of you who are entrepreneurs, that your self-worth has nothing to do with your networth. It can be tempting to go for the financial rewards and the money, but one thing to keep in mind is that your first intention and focus should be on that thing that aligns your head, heart, and higher self. The money will always follow when you are following your greater soul's guidance. Following Cosmic Sign Posts Pay attention and choose to be a light that helps others to shine their light. Like Yanik said, bloom where you are planted and keep your inner eye open to the cosmic signposts and evidence that you are indeed always on the right path for your soul to evolve. Yanik and I randomly chose the cards from Yanik Silver's Cosmic Journey oracle cards. Here are the questions we discussed: Card #7 Close your eyes to open your heart- Cosmic Catalyst Question: "If I could look through the eyes of the Universe, what would I see about my path that's perfect right now?" Card #8 Coming Soon: Welcome to the next ascending age- Cosmic Catalyst Question: "What is my role to play in the greater story unfolding?" It's Time To Be The Light And like the card I chose said (and the shirt I happened to be wearing), "we are all made of star-stuff." In other words, don't downplay, overlook or fall asleep at the wheel to your divinity and cosmic greatness. Final Thought Yani

Meet Molly Carmel Molly Carmel, LCSW-R is a leading addictions and eating disorder therapist and Founder of The Beacon Program (Beacon by MC), which offers individual and group solutions to help people break free from their destructive relationships with food and dieting. Known for her irreverent, "straight talk, no chaser" attitude, she's also the author of the innovative book, Breaking Up with Sugar: A Plan to Divorce the Diets, Drop the Pounds, and Live Your Best Life and is the host of the podcast, What You're Craving. Molly has made it her life's mission to help people find a sustainable solution to the battle against obesity and related eating disorders. After battling an eating disorder for over 20 years and finding no solution in available treatment, she began her professional path and has never looked back. In addition to her extensive training in Substance Use and Eating Disorders, Molly is intensively trained in and has an undying love for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. She is also a trained shaman, Reiki healer, and certified Tibetan bowl singing practitioner. Molly Carmel's work has been featured on The Today Show, The Dr. Oz Show, Dateline NBC, Anderson Cooper 360, and Extreme Makeover, as well as in People Magazine and the Los Angeles Times. To learn more about Molly, go to: mollycarmel.com. You know when you're out to eat, and you overhear friends chatting about their biggest breakup or something juicy? Well, my friend, you're gonna feel like you were hanging with us over lunch and were eavesdropping. This was that kind of conversation that went deep but was funny, intense, and got real-deal about food and sugar addiction and how to take care of yourself in a society that eats up toxic diet culture. So, sit back, relax and definitely get your fave snack and tea as you sit in on our talk. Food Is a Relationship Game Contrary to what the diet culture will have you believe, there is nothing wrong with you if you struggle with overeating and food. So many of us are taught at an early age that food equals love. I shared my story of my Dad taking me to Dunkin' Donuts before my first day of nursery school to get three double chocolate donuts. I still remember them like it was yesterday. Molly shared about her massive struggles with bingeing, hiding food, and being the youngest one at Weight Watchers. Here's what's important to note, though, food is a relationship game and about nourishment on a mind, body, and soul level. This can be such a tough one to digest when food has acted like your BFF. This is why Molly wrote 'Breaking Up With Sugar', because it felt like such a breakup experience, not to mention detox. If you find yourself struggling with eating out of control or being unable to stop eating sugar, we get you! It was helpful hearing that most cravings last about 20 minutes or so. A good practice when you're tempted by the pan of brownies or box of cookies in your kitchen; leave the room. Call a friend who will support you. Don't let this obsession continue to steal your energy, time, and joy. The purpose is to be free and love yourself and others. Addiction Is Really About Control Addiction is about needing control, and recovery is about trust. To have recovery, you must shift what you believe. This means not just addressing the physical component but also the emotional and spiritual. I loved what Molly said, 'We row, the Universe steers.' This game of recovery from addiction, especially sugar and food addiction, requires a three-pronged approach of shifting your beliefs and relationship with your mind, body, and spiritual connection. Genuine connection, especially with others on the road to recovery, is the opposite of addiction and can make an enormous difference in your own healing. Molly Carmel suggests you look at cravings as sirens (trust me, I know all about cravings for chocolate anything) and that they're calling you to get introspective and see what you need. The Greatest Act of Self Love Forgiveness, by far, is the greatest act of self-love. You start by looking at those you need to forgive, including yourself, and make a commitment to work on adding forgiveness to your daily practice. A simple way to start is to wish the person you want to forgive well and ask that they be free from suffering and at peace. This comes from the meta meditation and is an excellent place to begin. To learn more about Molly, her Beacon program for sugar addiction, or any of her work, go to mollycarmel.com Hungry For More If you're hungry for more in life and want to stop the incessant cycle of food addiction, you might want to check out my online course, Hungry For More: Overcoming Food Addiction (juliereisler.com/shop) or my Hungry For More audio course on Insight Timer (insighttimer.com/juliereisler). Both will guide you through the 6 H's of the Hunger model for greater self-awareness, compassion, and deep change. Final Thoughts Molly Carmel's book Breaking Up with Sugar helps us understand that

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. You Are Vibrating What you focus on expands, and what you appreciate appreciates. Your vibration, the energy that is vibrating within you, will be your point of attraction to what you bring into your life experience. This includes your thoughts, actions, emotions, and mood. Take time every day to connect within, tune into the present moment and realize you can shift your energy at any time. The Way The Law of Attraction Actually Works Everything is energy, including your thoughts, beliefs, stories, inner dialogue, and emotions Emotions range in energy frequency and vibrations in measured Hz. On the lower end are fear, despair, and depression which is closer to 30 - 50 Hz, whereas love, peace, and joy are up near 500+Hz. You are either choosing to come from love or fear. Choose powerfully to come from love, and don't let fear steal your greatest asset, your connection to the divinity within you. The Universe is constantly expanding through you and is for you and your greatest good. There is no other shoe ready to drop. Attracting More of What You Love I also discussed the Law of Circulation, which in short, is what you put out there will come back to you. Want more abundance and prosperity? Be generous to others and give more of your time, energy, and money away (of course not to your detriment), and watch what happens. When in doubt, come from love. Ask yourself what you'd love to experience, be, feel, and do. Focus on the energy of love in all you're doing, and prepare for the Universe to shower you with loving results. The card I pulled from the You-est You deck of intention cards was Law of Attraction. There are 33 powerful intention cards in total that can help you work with the laws of the Universe and set meaningful and aligned intentions. To get your own You-est You intention deck, go to juliereisler.com/shop Final Thoughts We are constantly living within the laws of the Universe. The Law of Attraction is always there waiting to be put into action. It's up to you to decide if you are attracting what you truly desire-love, abundance, prosperity, joy-or other feelings, and states of reality that come from a place of fear. The Law of Circulation desires to give you back what you give, hoping that we spread more kindness, joy, and generosity than not with one another. The laws of the Universe are never bending and neverending so it's to your benefit to work with them instead of against them.

Meet Jenna Kutcher Jenna Kutcher is a born-and-raised Minnesotan, a wife, mother, and entrepreneur who aims for two things daily: helping others wake up to life and staying in comfy pants. Creator and host of the top-rated Goal Digger Podcast, she's helped thousands redefine success and chase bold dreams through her decade-long work as a leading online personality and educator. In addition to birthing her second baby girl, Jenna is birthing her newest book baby, How Are You, Really? Learn more about her book and powerful work at howareyoureallybook.com. Jenna Kutcher started a decade ago on a whim to leave the corporate world and let her entrepreneurial flag fly. She bought a used camera for $300 and soon became the best wedding photographer in Wisconsin, 4 years in a row. She built a 7-figure business that is all about helping entrepreneurial souls flourish in their careers and life. I've loved Jenna's work, wit, and words and am so glad to share her experience and story with you. Time to Dig In I'm going to get right to it. This conversation was pure gold. The question Jenna's massage therapist/healer asked her is what I think most of us are often avoiding. Grab a pen and journal and reflect on this one: There's something you need to do, and you know what it is. You need to do it. When will you begin? This lands right at the very of your core, right? It's such a powerful question, and this is what got Jenna inspired to write her latest book, How Are You, Really? while pregnant with her second baby girl, all while working on her podcast Goal Digger. Her book is about getting honest with ourselves so that we can come home to ourselves. I love Jenna's reminder that there is no right time to take action on your dreams, on that thing you know you're here to do. You just need to create space so it can pour out of you. Follow Your Map Jenna Kutcher and I also talked about how this book is to help you remember that you're the keeper of your map and that when your values, integrity, and alignment back your vision, all is possible. I've seen this in my own life many, many times, whether it was starting this podcast or deciding to shift gears and follow my intuition to teach about intuition. Whatever that thing is that lives inside you that wants out listen to her. Go for it. Do the thing. I really vibed with what Jenna said regarding not falling into the trap of following someone else's blueprint. Final Thoughts Listen in to hear more richness and darn good bites of wisdom. Be sure to pick up a copy of Jenna Kutcher's book How Are You, Really? and tune into her podcast Goal Digger for more valuable insight.

Meet Matt Kahn Matt Kahn is the author of the brand new book All for Love, published by Sounds True. He's also the author of bestselling books Whatever Arises Love That, Everything Is Here To Help You, and The Universe Always Has a Plan. His books have been translated into more than a dozen different languages worldwide. In 2020, Matt was named one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People in the World by Watkins Magazine. He's a spiritual teacher and highly attuned empathic healer who has become a YouTube sensation with his healing and often humorous videos. More than 20 million YouTube channel viewers are finding comfort, inspiration, and relief from the challenges of daily life through his intuitive updates and helpful, uplifting heart-centered messages. You can get Matt's book and free documentary at mattkahn.org/love. It's such a blessing, my friend, to be in your ear and on your journey to greater expansion and heart-centered living. This conversation really dug into the power of understanding your divinity and how to stay connected to yourself during turbulent times. Matt was so open and genuine about his experience growing up with spiritual gifts and how he is constantly learning, growing, and shifting in his life and helping many others to do the same. I hope you can feel the high vibe energy transmitted in this discussion about all things having to do with the unconditional love of the Universe and how it's ok, even crucial, to manage your energy. Sit back, relax and allow these words to sink into your heart --- and definitely share your insights, 'heart flares', comments, and thoughts in The You-est You Podcast Facebook community. How To Truly Love Yourself How to truly love yourself is rarely taught to any of us, so we dove into the importance and necessity of self-love. Matt Kahn talked about the need to put yourself first and be radically loving towards yourself. That it's not just healing for your mind but also for your nervous system and body. One way to tap into greater self-love is to let yourself be nourished by the truth. This means saying no when you mean it, turning down an invitation, offer, date or opportunity when it doesn't feel true for you. For many of us highly sensitive and empathic souls, aligning with your truth is often practice as it requires being comfortable with others being uncomfortable with your choices. Especially when it's not what they want from you. People pleasing, which is so very common for those who are high empaths, is really then a fabrication of your truth. You're not being truthful when you people please and allow for someone else's desires, needs, and wishes to be met over yours. Start by checking in with yourself to feel, sense, and see what really is true for you, and then work on your courage to follow that truth. You Can't Mess Up Your Destiny Isn't it so comforting to realize that we can't mess up our destiny? This doesn't mean you should try and not take action. It just means that even when you feel you're off course or on the wrong path, you're not. You can't be. The Universe doesn't work like that. All is here for our highest good. Your life purpose is not what you do, but it's who you become while doing it. Part of realizing you're always right where you're meant to be is to become detached from your outcome. When in doubt, take the loving path. Take the heart-centered path which will always lead you to your deepest truth. Manifestation and The Law of Attraction I get so many questions and inquiries about how the Law of Attraction works. First, we need to look at how the Universe works. The Universe is made up of energy and works in simple ways. Energy is either expanding or stagnant. You're either expanding, or you're contracting. Neither is better or worse, as sometimes having life go on pause and contracting can be an essential part of your greater expansion. When you really tap into these energies, you can get out of stagnation and into expansion, which is manifestation you can do in these simple ways: Set an intention and add it to your cart, so to speak. Place your order in the cosmic store. Keep expanding energy and allow it to move through your mind and body Surrender your wants and desires to focus on what the Universe wants for you As you match your energy to the expansion you desire while letting go of how what you want manifests or shows up, you allow the Universe to deliver what's in your highest good. This is not about hacking the Universe to make things work for you. There are no shortcuts. It's about aligning with your higher truth and making choices that come from your higher self, truth, and faith. How To Manage Your Energy The topic of how to manage your energy is so important, especially if you identify as highly sensitive, an empath, or someone who feels drained around others. In managing your energy, you'll need to start tuning in to your own body and energy management. We think codependency is the way to give, b

Meet Dr. Amanda Hanson Dr. Amanda Hanson is a clinical psychologist turned transformational life coach for women. Her brand Revolutionizing Midlife is about redefining and reclaiming what it means to be a woman 40+. She is a self-proclaimed paradigm shifter & her contagious approach is one of the limitless possibilities. Where most see roadblocks, she sees opportunities. If you're soon approaching 40 or already in your 40s and beyond, or if you know a woman who is in her 40s, this episode is a must-listen. We got deep into how to start redefining a midlife crisis for women, what it looks like, and how to view aging. You will definitely come away from this episode empowered and, I hope, ready to love whatever age you are. Redefining Midlife It's time to redefine and revolutionize midlife. When you look up the word midlife, most likely next to it, you'll see the word crisis. Sadly, women are again not as valued in our society and much of the world. We have two choices in how we want to embrace our age and shifting experiences as we get older - we can come from love or from fear. Dr. Amanda Hanson talked a lot about her realization that she was coming from fear. It was while getting her hair dyed that she looked around and saw what looked like a row of women asleep at the wheel, conforming to a greater societal double standard of the need to keep looking young at all costs. The entryway to a mid-life crisis for women. She decided that day never to dye her hair again and start loving every inch of grey and silver hair on her head, no matter what. Amanda is on a mission to help women in midlife reprogram their nervous system and reclaim, rejuvenate, rediscover, and reimagine a new, empowering, loving, and kind reality. Overcoming Toxic Beauty Culture To overcome anything, you first have to look and see where you are living by values or standards that aren't yours. Are you doing something, buying a product, or something that really isn't aligned with your ideals around taking care of your health, body, and wellbeing? For Dr. Amanda Hanson, she realized that she didn't want to put botox in her skin or dye in her hair. Instead, she wanted to focus on changing the relationship from within so that she could find love and respect for herself exactly as she is and as she ages. I have a deep level of respect for this kind of pursuit and am on a similar trajectory. How about you? How might you create a deeper level of respect and honor for yourself? Without shaming or judging yourself, or others, ask yourself how you might be buying into a toxic beauty culture --- be it thinking you have to look or be a certain way. You might ask yourself, do I really think that, or have I been conditioned to think this way? The real question then is, are you willing to do this kind of inner self-work. Dr. Amanda reminds us that this deep, profound work is only for those who are willing. How to Create a Squeaky Clean Mindset Dr. Amanda Hanson talked about her super intentional mindset and how she starts every morning with a powerful affirmation. She says to herself, "Good morning, beautiful! I love you. You are a goddamn miracle." How might you implement an affirmation like this into your morning routine? Don't allow trash in your mindset, including your own thoughts. It's about creating intimacy within yourself, which of course, will always translate into having more intimate relationships and compassion in your outer world as well. Final Thoughts When dealing with a midlife crisis for women, the first step is loving yourself at the core. That means recognizing who you are and accepting yourself for that version of yourself. To throw back the toxic beauty culture and just BE instead of chasing the unattainable. Simply BEing is where happiness lies.

A Greater Vision for Yourself If you're looking to uncover what you really desire and get out of other people's boxes and versions of you, this episode is a must-listen. I share all about how to create a vision that will mirror your next-level identity. Don't underestimate the power of having a clearly stated vision and pairing that with your imagination and ability to visualize. The Anatomy of a Great Vision Statement: This statement starts with 'I am so happy and grateful now that I....' Write this statement in the present tense using affirmative language. At the end, you can add something like 'And so it is.' 'This, or something better' or 'This or something even better still' to allow room for the Universe to surprise and delight you. Before you know it you will be manifesting your vision in real-time. Energy is Everything A reminder that all is energy. Adding energy to your vision statement, meaning-making sure you feel energized, excited, grateful, and connected to what you're envisioning, is crucial. You can create vision boards, mind movies, get in nature, or go to places representing your vision, like a house that looks like something you'd love to manifest. To manifest your greater vision, you'll want to make sure you're appreciating what you currently are experiencing while making room for something even greater by adding that energy of feeling like you have it now. Final Thoughts We all want to manifest our desires. Bring them into reality. But often people get confused or distracted by real-world experiences and lose sight of how to manifest them. Keeping these tips at the forefront of your mind will help you manifest your vision so that you can have exactly what you want.

Meet Gabriela Blandy Gabriela Blandy is a fully qualified Life Coach and NLP Practitioner. She is a personal and professional development expert with over fifteen years' experience working with writers, creatives, and entrepreneurs. She has also trained in the Shamanic Medicine Wheel with The Spirit of the Inca. Gabriela has been awarded the Royal Society of Literature V S Pritchett Prize and has a Masters in Creative Writing with Distinction. Her writing has been published in various books and journals, including The Mechanics Institute Review and The London Magazine. She has also been published alongside Sarah Waters and Daphne du Maurier in Virago's collection of ghostly tales, 'Something was There'. Gabriela has hosted hundreds of literary events, both in London at City University and the bar at RADA and The John Osborne Arvon Centre, and has spoken on the Creative Writing Masters Programs at Oxford University, UEA, Warwick, Birkbeck, and Guildford. Stopping the Hustle & Grind I had the honor and pleasure of coaching and working with Gabriela about a year ago as she wanted to get off the incessant grind and hustle train and learn to hear her inner voice and deeper wisdom. She felt exhausted, working weekends without time off, noticing a continuous cycle of comparison and competition. While successful on the outside, Gabriela wanted to stop the crazy burnout and connect back to her passion and true purpose. She was afraid of losing momentum but knew where this kind of continued overworking and overwhelm would lead. Her soul was asking for more -- more nature, more nurture, and more deep connection. Listen to Your Soul Gabriela Blandy's soul was asking for a new way of doing business, of self-expression, and a way to feel passionate and fulfilled that wasn't at the expense of her mental and physical wellbeing. Gabriela talked about the shift that happened when she decided to invest in her soul and start coaching together. She realized that she had just bought something for her soul rather than her ego or fear. What ensued over the next year was miraculous to guide and observe. She woke up to a way of being so many of us find ourselves paralyzed by -- the constant hustle and rushing around that has you spreading butter on your toast while scrolling through text messages, checking your calendar and trying to take a photo here and there for a decent social media post. She started to see the patterns of being spread thin and feeling disconnected from any sense of presence or deeper purpose. Detoxing Your Lifestyle What came next was a surprise to Gabriela, and she shares how the two questions she asked herself led to a total shift in her business and life. Driven to spend more time in nature and to detox her lifestyle from screens and constant scrolling, Gabriela took her first five-day excursion into the forest. She asked herself, 'Who am I? and What is my purpose?' What followed surprised and delighted her. It was not a response she had heard before and certainly wasn't attainable while being mired down in emails, zoom meetings, and workaholism. She felt a deep knowing that she was meant to spend more time in the forest and that something important was shifting within her that would become the new bedrock for her career and purpose. Forest trips became Gabriela's new way of unplugging, and soon she found wisdom being channeled from her encounter with the trees and nature that helped to rewire her nervous system and brain. It was a detox on all levels instigated by the forest. Trusting Your Inner Guidance No Matter What Gabriela Blandy shares the power of learning to trust her inner guidance and started to see the ripple effect of this positive change in all of her relationships and business. The greater message of how to listen to your your soul she learned from the forest. Today, her business is not only thriving in new ways, but because she has followed her intuition and wisdom from the forest, she has created an amazing community that taps into greater aspects of creativity in writing, speaking, coaching, and living. She continues to bring her clients into the forest and finally feels like she is living a life that is congruent with her heart, purpose, and soul's greatest desires. To learn more about Gabriela and her beautiful offerings, go to https://gabrielablandy.org, Final Thoughts Gabriela Blandy was able to tune into her intuition and feel what she was missing in her life. More importantly, she was able to take action and fill the gap that the busyness of the world was taking away from her. She invites all of you to listen to your soul and see what you can give back to it starting today. Looking To Help Other Empaths Design Their Best Life?

Meet Lynne McTaggart For more than 20 years, Lynne McTaggart, an internationally bestselling and award-winning author and journalist, has been examining the bridge between frontier science and spirituality. Lynne is mainly known for the quality of her narrative non-fiction and the depth of her research, her inspirational speaking style, and her uncompromising role as a New Thought leader and spiritual change agent. Over the years, Lynne McTaggart has been variously called a 'metaphysical rock star', 'the Madonna of the Quantum World,' 'the Malcolm Gladwell of the New Science', and even 'The Dalai Mama.' She's consistently voted one of the world's top 100 spiritual leaders for her groundbreaking work with consciousness and the power of thoughts. To understand more about the mechanisms behind the healing power of thoughts, Lynne has organized rigorous scientific studies called Intention Experiments, working with scientists at prestigious universities around the world. Lynne has been particularly interested in the power of group intention and its "mirror effect," transforming recipients and reflecting back on the senders. As co-founder and editorial director of the health magazine, What Doctors Don't Tell You, now published in 15 languages worldwide, and Get Well, the international holistic health expo, Lynne is also a tirelessly campaigns for consumer rights in health care. Her two books, The Intention Experiment and The Power of Eight can be fond on Amazon. If you'd like to have your mind 'glowing' and tap into what's possible within your own body and mind for greater healing, past, present, and future, then this conversation is a must-listen. Lynne McTaggart is one of the leading researchers and gifted speakers to explain the greater depths of quantum physics, quantum healing, and time. This means we have the powerful ability as humans to change our well-being and destiny. There were so many nuggets of wisdom, and I'd highly recommend listening to this episode from start to finish. Here is a short recap to give you a sense of the breadth and depth of what Lynne covered. As always, let me know your thoughts in the You-est You® Podcast Community on Facebook and take whatever resonates, and leave the rest. Meditation vs. Intentions If you haven't yet read Lynne's two books: The Power of Eight and The Intention Experiment, get thee to Amazon and order both STAT. They will glow your mind! I asked Lynne about the difference between meditation and intentions because they can seem similar yet have profound different results. Much of Lynne's work is around the hidden and surprising superpower of using the power of intentions for a specific desired outcome for greater healing and manifestation. In sum, meditation increases your alpha and delta brain waves. Meditation is typically a practice where you use a mantra or sit in silence. On the other hand, intentions activate the parietal lobe, and all brain waves are lowered. The right frontal lobe, the area where worry and doubt are triggered, also goes down when sending an intention. The other amazing thing about sending intentions is that this altruistic act touches both the sender and receiver, and a greater ecstatic sense of oneness occurs. Lynne shares that with sending intentions, you must focus on a thought and outcome that is highly specific. A great way to get a specific intention is to use the 5 W's, used in journalistic writing; ask yourself 'Who, what, where, when, why?' Our Cells Communicate Through Frequencies The fantastic thing to note is that we all have the most powerful healer inside of us. We've been living by the scientific story we've been told, an older Newtonian vision where separate things generate ideas in time and space. Over the past 100+ years, we've seen through the newer science of Quantum Physics that we're all interconnected through energy systems, otherwise known as the zero-point field. Our thoughts are a transmitter, and our cells communicate through frequencies. Our brain is literally like a TV station transducing. We're either giving or receiving light all the time and have the ability to focus our thoughts in a way that can move and change matter. Quantum Healing We can send intentions back to heal something in our past, and we can also do this in the future. In part, it's understanding that time is not as we think and that it is not linear. You can send thoughts to make people better (including yourself), and Lynne McTaggart shows this scientifically in many of her books, but especially in The Intention Experiment and The Power of Eight. Understanding your own inner power can help you take back your power to heal from within. In this way, Lynne invites us all to be spiritual activists in which we can become more connected to our own natural inner healing powers and that of our society. The Power of Altruism If you are interested in being part of a Power of Eight group, feel free to check out Lynne's website to learn more about her

Meet Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is back again on the You-est You podcast! Dr. Jill is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist. In 1996 she experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain, causing her to lose the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Her memoir, My Stroke of Insight, documenting her experience with stroke and eight-year recovery, spent 63 weeks on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list and is still routinely the #1 book about stroke on Amazon. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a dynamic teacher and public speaker who loves educating all age groups, academic levels, as well as corporations about the beauty of our human brain and its ability to recover from trauma. In 2008 she gave the first TED talk that ever went viral on the Internet, which now has well over 26 million views. Also, in 2008, Dr. Taylor was chosen as one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" and was the premiere guest on Oprah Winfrey's "Soul Series" webcast. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is also the author of the most recent bestselling book, Whole Brain Living. I invited Dr. Jill back on to my podcast to talk about how we can learn to self-soothe ourselves during such a stressful time that has increased the amount of anxiety and fear in so many people's lives. This conversation will help you learn how to talk to the scientific four parts of your brain (this is an excellent refresh if you want to reconnect with your four characters) and start unifying all of your characters through a brain huddle. The Four Characters The brain has two hemispheres; the left and the right. The right hemisphere is all about being here, right now. It's about being experiential in the present moment. Character 4 is the thinking part of the brain that is about consciousness and that feeling of being grateful to be alive. Character 3 is the emotional part of the right brain that is creative, innovative, open, and will ask, 'What does that feel like?' The part that is feeling the stress of the world and needing the self-soothing. The left hemisphere is about the past, present and the future and is where we individuate and form a sense of being an individual. Character 2 is about your emotions in your left brain and Character 1 is the thinking part of the left brain that will look for structure and organization, and will ask 'how am I a functional human being in the world? How can I self-soothe and take the weight off my shoulders? Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and I shared the names of our 4 Characters. Share in the You-est You Podcast Community on Facebook your names! Emotions are really just energy in motion; emotion is energy running on a circuit that can feel like rage, sadness, joy, elation, etc. Think of emotions as energy flowing through the cells in our brain and body. The Brain Huddle Think of your four characters who are on the same team and here to connect about your next play in life. The best way to build your muscle of leaning on a brain huddle is to start doing this 20x's day. In the Brain Huddle, BRAIN stands for Breath, Recognize, Appreciate, Inquire, Navigate. Here's a deeper dive into what this means: Breath - Be present in the moment with your breath Recognize- Notice who called the huddle (which character) Appreciate - Appreciate all four of your characters and realize they are all on the same team Inquire - Ask, who wants the mic? Ask your four characters who wants to talk, and allow for all four to share. You don't need to give your power away. Navigate - Use this process to navigate moment to moment How to Self-Soothe Yourself Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor reminds us to call in your four characters for a brain huddle and give yourself time, space, and grace to connect with which character wants to share. Often it is your sweet Character 2 who has emotions to share. Know this is the process that helps you self-soothe. That will bring you a sense of calm during the storm of the past several years. Allow yourself the space to feel all emotions and surround your character with love and compassion. My 3 favorite quotes from this episode: "We're feeling creatures who think! Not the other way around.", "Our past pain isn't here to be a lifestyle. It's here so you can learn, grow and move on." and "The quality of your dealing with your emotions will affect the quality of your thinking." And, a total mind-blown moment: "We've been alive when our mothers were in our grandmother's 5th week of gestation." Final Thoughts Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor enlightens us with the process of The Brain Huddle to teach us how to self-soothe during these tumultuous times. The pandemic has brought in so many emotions, and Dr. Jill helps us understand how to better navigate them.

Meet Rosie Acosta Rosie Acosta has studied yoga and mindfulness for over 20 years and taught for over a decade. She hosts a weekly conversational wellness podcast, Radically Loved. Rosie has traveled all over the world, leading workshops, retreats, and yoga teacher trainings. She's been featured in Yoga Journal, Well + Good, Forbes, and The New York Post. She lives in Los Angeles. YOU ARE RADICALLY LOVED is her first book. Rosie Acosta is such a powerful example of what's possible when you make up your mind to change your life, regardless of circumstances. After being arrested for trying to steal a police car in her teens, she realized the direction she was headed was not one of happiness, contentment, or any kind of joy. Unlike many brown and black teens who end up staying in the system, she realized she had to get out. What ensued was both courageous and miraculous. A friend of Rosie's mother recommended meditation as a way to cope with stress and anxiety. She figured she'd give it a try and started to notice internal changes for the better. That's when Rosie realized she had to excommunicate herself from her friends --- childhood friends she had grown up with on the streets in LA when gangs were running rampant. Getting Out Of Trouble and Chaos Rosie started to get herself in planned detention to go to the library to read books like 'The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama and other inspiring works that would help begin the process of shifting her inner beliefs and outer world. She found the courage to leave friends who had been like family so that she could begin to find out who she really is and be the creative, loving, kind person she dreamt of being. Through meditation, yoga, and readings by Paramahansa Yogananda, started small cracks of change that led to an entirely new life direction. The Power of Compassion Today, Rosie Acosta speaks to high schools all over the US about how they have the autonomy, agency, and self-guidance to trust in themself and greater support. She teaches them about being Radically Loved and the practices that can change your life. The root of loving change is compassion for yourself and others. Radically Loved, Defined Radically Loved is about stepping into powerful innate energy. Using this energy as a conduit, you realize that it is an ever-flowing love, eternal, never-ending guidance of love. In a difficult moment, the most radical act of love is to be fully present with where you are, befriending yourself and your feelings. It's about giving yourself the nourishment you need and being kind to yourself. This is something to practice daily, and the more you can cultivate powerful compassion for yourself, the more you can do this with others. Final Thoughts We ended with an awesome heart flare...Rosie reminds you to stay encouraged, keep writing, doing the things you feel called to do even if others might not seem to pay attention. Someone out there needs your message, to be radically loved, just like she did when she was given a suggestion to try meditation. Keep going, and don't get discouraged!

Meet Mary Morrissey Mary Morrissey has made it her mission to empower people to create and live a life they love. For over 50 years, Mary has studied the art and science of transforming dreams into results. Mary is the founder of the Brave Thinking Institute, the world's premier provider of transformational training and coaching. Through life-changing books, events, and programs, Mary has helped millions of people tap into the power within them to achieve new levels of success and experience a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. Mary holds a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and an honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters. She has addressed the United Nations three times, co-convened three-week-long meetings with His Holiness The Dalai Lama, and met with President Nelson Mandela in South Africa. She has written two best-selling books, No Less Than Greatness and Building Your Field of Dreams, which became a PBS special. In October 2022, Mary Morrissey will release her newest book, Brave Thinking: Unlocking the Hidden Code for Overcoming Life's Challenges and Achieving Your Greatest Dreams. Today, Mary is focused on a bold dream: 1 Billion Dreams Achieved around the world. She is with us today because the dream begins with YOU! Mary is gifting a free guided meditation that will unlock the energy of the universe that lives inside of you –gently guiding you, deliberately building your dreams from a place of ease and bliss. The mediation is a $16 value. Go to: BTI.com/youest Your Dreams Count Mary's origin story will blow you away. I don't want to give it all away, but it's clear that she walks her walk and has lived the results of what she teaches. Before getting into the personal development field, Mary started as a non-denominational minister. I loved hearing how Mary has used the principles of what she's been teaching for 50 years to improve her own life, and that of thousands across the globe. Everything we discussed was about how to upgrade and change your beliefs to match building your dreams-all the ones that live inside of you. Mary has led hundreds of events and programs to help others actualize their dream. Her words of encouragement are worth tuning into if you hold the desire of building your dream. She said, "The real gift of having a dream is not just realizing it, but that who you become in the process." Change the Channel Mary Morrissey shared that if you don't love the results in your life, just like changing a channel on your TV, you need to change the frequency of your thoughts and vibration. We are all made up of a sea of energy. Here are a few ways to do this: Look at your current life and ask yourself, 'What am I in love with now?' Notice this and reverse engineer what you love to make room to add more of this elsewhere. Speak in the name of love. Life is an ever-seeking energy expressed through us. Connect to the energy of love through your words and speaking. You can be, do or have anything. You just have to get in harmony with it. If you are in a state of self-loathing, look at it as a wiring problem and notice what you're noticing. You are not your thoughts Care more about helping people and be willing to do things afraid. Three Powerful Words to Change Your Subconscious We also discussed the three most powerful words you can say to yourself regarding changing the frequency of your thoughts and overcoming limiting beliefs and stories as they relate to your past and keeping you stuck. When you find yourself saying something like, "I've never been able to change that habit", for example, try adding these three words afterward: up until now. This will help give your subconscious a new command when up against those lingering negative beliefs. Final Thoughts Mary Morrissey reminds us that building your dream is entirely possible when you put your mind to it. You first need to change the frequency of your thoughts to overcome the beliefs and stories that hold you back.

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You® journey, go to juliereisler.com. Hello brave dreamers! I really hope that this special 300th episode celebration will illuminate and remind you of the sacred gifts already within you, ready to be expressed. I brought in my dear friend, Rev. Frances Fayden, podcast host, author, and interfaith minister, to have a deeply honest and raw conversation about what it means to step into a greater mission of service, leadership, and influence. While my journey started with a commitment of doing one weekly episode for a year, I stayed the course because of the blessing to interview leading experts and prominent leaders who share their hearts, experience, lessons learned, and wisdom. It has been a gift to host this show, and I hope and pray that whatever episodes you've listened to have added expansion, upliftment, and greater possibility in your own life. To Compare Is To Despair One of my greatest lessons has been to stop comparing myself to others and taking others off the pedestal, no matter how well known they might be. Pedestals are dangerous as they create a 'better than' mentality, and as you know with the You-est You concept, no one is better than another. Instead, some have planted their seeds earlier or at different times than you, and often we're seeing the finished byproduct that might have been planted years ago. Additionally, in interviewing a wide range of spiritual leaders and influencers, I've been reminded that the goal is not to be anyone else's version of your You-est You. Yet, rather it's to get inspired and moved by another's story, journey, and lessons learned to tap more deeply into your own authenticity. Pedestals don't belong in this journey of deeper self-exploration and self-compassion. I'm hoping that as you tune in, what's being reflected back to you is what's possible when you follow your greater vision and dream. That's why I think of you (and myself) as brave dreamers. It takes tremendous courage to express and become your You-est You. I'm grateful you're here and would love to hear how you're taking other people off pedestals so that you can see your own divinity staring right back in your very eyes. Rather than compare, get inspired and know whatever you're hearing is an example of what's possible. Learning To Expand Your Visibility One of my biggest lessons over the 300 episodes I've recorded has been to let go of the fear of judgments, of what others might say about me, and about my own inner judgments, especially given so many episodes have treaded into territory that I might have shied away from in the past. I'm learning that the most important thing you can do is stay true and authentic to your own truth. To come from a place of unconditional compassion and heart and trust that it's safe to be more visible and share my thoughts. We naturally crave connection at a deep level, which is most potent when being vulnerable and willing to be seen. I share this with those who might struggle with visibility or fear of being seen in a larger way. If you know in your heart you're up to big things and here to be a change-maker, it's imperative to start shifting the way you see your own visibility. Ways to do that are through community, finding a great mentor, coach, or friend who is on a similar path and can hold you accountable to your bigger dream. That's the first secret on how to become an influencer. Impact Mentorship Program After two years of dreaming up how to make a bigger impact with entrepreneurial women who want to birth their vision, I have finally decided to put together the Impact Mentorship Program. It's an intimate group I will be mentoring that will help others who want to write that book, give a TEDx talk or start a podcast. I'll be sharing my lessons learned, wisdom, and support to guide heart-led women looking to shine brighter and get on the world stage so they can become influences as well. For more information about applying, go to juliereisler.com/you-me. Final Thoughts Learning how to become an influencer is partly seeing yourself through a lens of love and being able to use what you once may have seen as weaknesses a

Meet Jacob Cooper Jacob Cooper is a Clinical Social Worker, Certified Reiki Master, and Certified Hypnotherapist specializing in Past Life Regression Therapy; he works privately with clients through online services. Inspired by his near-death experience and transformative encounters, he facilitates spiritual awareness and empowerment through life-changing seminars. Currently, he resides and practices in Long Island, NY. He is the author of "Life After Breath" published by Waterside Productions. Find out more about Jacob at jacoblcooper.com Life After Breath The interview with Jacob Cooper was such a powerful and profound look into a Near Death Experience, aka NDE, and how these experiences are forever life-changing. Jacob shared his NDE when he was three years old and how it left him awake to the potentiality of humanity and breadth and depth of the Divine. Jacob was diagnosed with Pertussis at the age of three. Without realizing the severity of such a diagnosis, his parents let him go to the park to play. On a jungle gym ladder, he started to cough and couldn't breathe. Without enough oxygen, he remembers leaving his body and seeing that his body wasn't fully working. In this incredibly enigmatic experience, he saw his spirit guides on both sides of him and shared that there are no words to describe them. He then saw an endless sea of thousands of angels. They had a uniform look, and he felt enormous unconditional love from them. In Jacob Cooper's words, "It felt like a grand reunion where he could feel all is well and all is divine love". With their help, he survived his near-death experience, truly giving him life after breath. A Secret Worth Sharing Jacob Cooper spent 20 years not telling a soul about his experience, both out of sacred reverence for what happened and knowing it would raise eyebrows and create uncomfortable questioning. His near-death experience left him with an enormous gift still with him; the remembrance that heaven is right here and that love is the ultimate collateral. He has helped many build trust with the light that lives inside us and teaches us how to connect to this eternal knowing. The key to expanding your sense of the divine is through raising your consciousness. Jacob Cooper shares some of the ways to raise consciousness: To expand and transform, you have to be vulnerable to lose yourself. Meditation and quieting the mind are crucial. It's in the still of the mind that you can access truth and get in touch with your infinite nature. You've got to match your light with the light on the other side; which is an all-loving unconditional reverence and love Jacob reminds us not to be defined by our story but to define it ourselves. This is the gift of free will and being human. And, by tuning into the GPS of your soul, you will never be misled. Final Thoughts Jacob Cooper's life after breath experience gave him the eternal knowledge that we can easily align ourselves with heaven, even here on earth. That it doesn't take a near-death experience to connect and feel the joy that is heaven or our authentic infinite nature. We only need to practice raising our consciousness and connecting with what is readily available. Looking To Help Others Know Who They Are and Design Their Best Life?

Meet Dr. Alex Golden & Megan Blacksmith Dr. Alex Golden (M.D.) and Megan Blacksmith (Health Coach & Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and graduate of Chris Kresser's ADAPT Practitioner training) of Zesty Ginger help women optimize brain function and hormone health by teaching women to use the power of their thoughts and beliefs as well as the phases of their menstrual cycles to their advantage. The natural ebb and flow that happens to our hormones, organ systems and bodies overall as women is there to renew and strengthen us. When we work with the natural cycles of our bodies, we allow ourselves to heal and recover on a level that few of us ever reach when we operate within the "rules" of the hectic modern world. In the Zesty Ginger duo of Megan and Dr. Alex, Megan focuses on the power of our thoughts, beliefs, energy, and frequency in a health journey. They are the founders of Healthy Hormones Group Program, Health Transformation Accelerator, Flight or Flight Fix, and co-host of the 4 Phase Cycle Podcast. There Is Not One Right Path For Everyone Both Dr. Alex Golden and Megan Blacksmith shared their rock bottom health experience. They tried everything in the medical system, including testing and numerous medicines, pills, and visits that led to feeling even more hopeless. Each came back hearing that they were 'fine' and that there was nothing else to do because their testing showed no health issues. In this experience of feeling frustrated and misunderstood, they each changed course in their lives to study and learn how our bodies are so much more than the physical body we know. From an integrative approach, they each studied how the brain, our habits, and our beliefs have way more to do with health than we understand. Dr. Alex Golden went back to medical school. Megan Blacksmith pursued functional medicine and nutritional healing. Much of what they teach is to trust your inner wisdom, know that you can shift your beliefs and physical, emotional and mental state and that there is no one right or same path for everyone. Their goal was to create transformational healing for all who desired it. The Powerful World of Transformational Healing This model of transformational healing looks at the body as a whole system and includes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body. Can I get a hallelujah for that? Much of what we forget to address is the crucial aspect of our beliefs and habits. Both women talked about being told that their cases wouldn't get better. If they believed those mandates, they wouldn't have healed. It often becomes a choice whether to listen to a doctor or your internal voice. Much of what's important to understand is that the brain is highly involved with getting better and healing. Most of us are doing anything we can to feel better, especially if we've been sick for a while or struggled with a situation like Dr. Alex, who had endometriosis or horrible cramping. You need to be in a healing mode, which means new ways of thinking, beliefs, and habits. Our emotions and thoughts affect and communicate with our Central Nervous System (CNS). Because our brain is always looking to be most effiicent, it will stay on autopilot and remember your habit pattern of thought and emotion. Different thoughts can change the chemical messages in your brain. While it's important to change habits around sleeping, eating and movement, it's even more important to change your thought pattern. Changes in thoughts change your brain chemistry, which changes everything. Habits, Hormones, and Your Brain To be receptive to change habits and your brain, you need to be coming from your parasympathetic system (rest and digest) rather than your sympathetic nervous system (fight and flight). The sympathetic nervous system is what gets triggered when we're in a state of stress. It's also essential to understand the HPA axis; this is the connection and chain reaction from your Hypothalamus, Pituitary Gland, and Adrenals. Most don't realize that the hypothalamus, a region in the forebrain, controls hunger, thirst and determines what is in the bloodstream. It decides whether you'll sleep well, lose weight, have great skin, or whatever it is you believe. To make real change and have a transformation, you've got to understand how vital your habits and beliefs are. Some of the steps to making a change are getting clear on your goal, getting your body into a parasympathetic state, finding old beliefs that don't serve you and releasing and installing new ones—then making an empowered decision to change and making sure your actions align with who you are becoming. Most importantly, watch your thoughts and beliefs to ensure they best support your intended state and outcome. Three Tips and Techniques to Heal and Thrive Dr. Alex Golden shared three powerful tips that you can use for your physical, mental, and emotional body for greater healing and calm. The Physical Body: It's important to activate the vagus nerve, con

Meet Wah! Wah! is an accomplished musician, record label owner, mother, and one of the founders and leaders of today's global yoga community. Wah! has spent over 25 years teaching and performing, helping people relax, improving their health, and learning about compassionate relationships. Her CDs have sold over 100,000 units worldwide; if you have taken a yoga class in the last 10 years, you have undoubtedly heard her music. In 2011 iTunes featured her with a compilation titled "Greatest Yoga Music Ever." Her new book Self-Care: Building a Stronger, Smarter, More Peaceful Self brings people simple, effective ways to improve health and mood, manage stress, and prevent burnout and depression. She's been featured in Ladies Home Journal, Mantra Yoga & Health Magazine, and Yoga International Magazine. If you've ever attended a yoga class or listened to meditation music, you have most likely heard Wah!'s visceral and transformational music. Wah! shared that her name has many meetings, including bliss and flower in Chinese, energy in Korean, and the concept of awe, as in 'there's nothing left to say' in Hindi. Wah! embodies this beautiful blissful and transformative flower-like energy. I hope you enjoy the music and heart connection at the beginning and end of this episode. The Power of Humming Did you know that humming is one of the most healing things you can do for your own vitality, energy, and body? Wah! explains that when you hum, you are naturally calibrating to your body and cells. We all have this innate ability to heal ourselves through the power of humming. Through humming, you lengthen your breath and activate your parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and digest aspect of your nervous system. Humming creates a natural soothing and calming down of your body and energy. All Energy Matters Wah! explains that every organism operates at 70hz and that when there is an illness like cancer, research shows that one's electrical energy can dip as low as 55hz. It is crucial to take care of, protect and honor your energy. You can use your attention to focus on different things that will help you to feel higher energy, like music, humming, appreciation, and self-care. Speaking of energy and frequency, she reminds us that we need to be mindful of all the intense energy we are surrounded by, such as our cell phones which can measure close to 1200 Mhz, and microwaves which also give off a lot of electromagnetic energy. You Can Give Yourself an Empowering New Name (like Wah!) Just like Wah! taking on a name that motivates and uplifts her, you can do the same. Create a name you use to address yourself, like 'Outrageously Loving' or 'Ambassador of Light', or whatever might help you feel more connected to a way of being that truly empowers you. In case you were wondering what 'Jai Ma' means after listening to Wah!'s chanting on this episode, she explained that Jai means 'wow', or 'oh my goodness' and that sacred awe and 'Ma' means 'mother', 'divine mother', 'mother nature' and/or the 'connection to the mother energy'. Final Thoughts Wah! shares with us an overall sense of empowerment. From knowing how crucial it is to protect your energy and raise it in times of stress to assigning yourself a new empowering name. There is no time like the present to begin this energetic transformation for yourself. Check out her moving yoga music if you don't already have it downloaded or saved to your playlist.

Meet Shelly Tygielski Shelly Tygielski is the author of Sit Down to Rise Up and the founder of the global grassroots mutual aid organization Pandemic of Love. Her work has been featured by over 100 media outlets, including CNN Heroes, The Kelly Clarkson Show, CBS This Morning, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. A trauma-mindfulness teacher and a Garrison Institute Fellow, she has been called one of the "12 Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement" By Mindful.org and teaches self-care and resilience at organizations around the world. I loved every moment of this conversation with Shelly. She is the real deal, my friend. She has followed her deep desire to make a positive change in the world and allowed herself to follow the breadcrumbs. It has led her to start a global non-profit that is all about helping communities worldwide get the services, shelter, goods, and nourishment they need to be well. Tune in to hear questions you can ask yourself that are powerful AF. You can't come away from this interview not feeling motivated to take action and be of greater service. For that reason, and many others, I am a big fan of Shelly's and hope you feel extra inspired after listening to her story. Sit Down to Rise Up After following her inner guidance and signing up for a meditation class back in the early nineties in her graduate program at Columbia University, Shelly Tygielski discovered a calm and deeper connection through the power of mindfulness and meditation. Years later, she realized that if we just focus only on ourselves and our inner world but don't use our inner guidance to make a difference, we are doing ourselves and the world a disservice. Shelly realized that we need to sit down and meditate, get calm and connected, to rise up and make a bigger impact. Her book Sit Down to Rise Up shares her insights a step further, be sure to look for that. A Pandemic of Love Shelly Tygielski asked herself what she could do to solve the problem and help out her community at the beginning of the pandemic. This grassroots greater desire led her to create a simple spreadsheet that paired up those who needed help and those who could give help. This heart-centered idea ended up spreading across the planet and is now a global non-profit called A Pandemic of Love that has 280 chapters in 16 countries. In sum, you can ask 'What if?' or 'Why not?' If you follow the 'Why not?' thread, you could end up creating a life-changing operation, like Shelly. Two Questions to Change Your Life We talked about the need to not only meditate but also to honor your feelings. As Dr. Dan Siegel said, 'you've got to name it to tame it', or the phrase I live by is 'feel to heal'. The two questions to ask yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed or struggling with your emotions are 1. What can I do about this? and 2. How do I come from a place of love? The focus on being loving with yourself is the game changer to feeling and expressing greater peace, both within and in the greater world. Visit her online at http://www.shellytygielski.com. Final Thoughts Shelly Tygielski is a wonderful example of how going within can help you expand without. Be sure to look for her book Sit Down to Rise Up.

After embarking on a spiritual journey that led her to study Eastern religious traditions for over 30 years, she was given her spiritual name, "Satya," which is Sanskrit for "truth." Satya founded her eponymous jewelry line in 2002 with a vision to inspire others to follow their own path to truth. Her background in social work and her passion for helping others also led her to found The Satya Foundation, which provides opportunities and assistance to children all over the globe and today, has raised over $1 million in donations. Satya's dedication to yoga and manifestation has earned her a trusted place in the wellness industry as an inspiring yogi, speaker, and teacher, where she seeks to empower and inspire others. Satya Jewelry invokes deeper conversations around fashion, spirituality, and greater wisdom. And, exciting news, You-est You listener! You can now get 20% off all Satya Jewelry at satyajewelry.com with my discount JULIE20. Why Satya is Amazing I know I say this often, but this conversation with Satya was truly one of my favs as it was so full of inspiration, heart, authenticity, and goodness. You can't listen to Satya's story and wisdom and not feel uplifted. There are so many ah-mazing takeaways that can help you follow your dream and truly trust yourself. Please share in the comments below, as I'd love to know what you learned from this episode and the dream you will pursue. Sit back, relax and enjoy this beautiful unfolding of faith, surrender, intention, and aligned action. Dare to Dream Satya's actual background and training were as a social worker who focused on early childhood development. She then became a yogi and Reiki Master, and she found a deeper connection to herself through meditation. After watching the Twin Towers go down on 9/11, she asked herself (and really dug deep to see the truth) what she wanted to do that would make a difference. In the pursuit of this greater purpose, Satya went on a month-long Reiki and spiritual retreat in the Bahamas. While there, she was given her spiritual name, Satya, which means truth in Sanskrit. She had a dream on her last night at the retreat that she had a jewelry business that focused on all the different truths in the world and gave back to children in need. She knew this was an idea dropped from the Divine, and within one week, she started Satya Jewelry. Satya shared that this fearlessness came from getting silent within herself, from soulful practices like yoga, meditation, and listening to her inner wisdom. Some of my favorite words of wisdom from this conversation were: "All the answers are inside of us, and you just need to get quiet to hear it." "When you have a pure intention, the doors will open." "You need to get out of your own way." The Universe and earth are screaming to have us help if it's bettering the world and collectively moving the needle." "Don't get stuck on what you want. Let the Universe deliver it to you." Trust Yourself and Set Intentions We talked about how important it is to trust yourself. Satya Scainetti so eloquently said, 'You must trust yourself. Don't give up. Tap into your power and truth. Then surrender and lean on the power of prayer, which is here for all of us." Being truthful to yourself is key and has been a big part of Satya's life as she lives into her spiritual name, which literally means truth. We talked about how settling could be a form of not being truthful. The problem is that settling gnaws at your core and doesn't go away. Satya chose to follow her greater desire to do something that mattered to her. Going for her dream felt spiritually guided, and Satya Scaientti sees her brand Satya Jewelry as truly being divinely inspired. By being deeply connected to her intention, Satya created a beautiful and meaningful jewelry company and started a foundation early on so that she could give back immediately to support building schools and shelter for children in India. Manifestation Made Easy Don't get stuck on what you want. Allow the Universe to deliver to you in a way that is often way better than what you could imagine. Satya Scainetti talked about easy steps to help you in the process of manifestation: Put everything you want into prayer Keep your eyes wide open and look for signs Trust -- in yourself and the greater good of the divine Get quiet and tap into your own inner knowing. Anytime you hear your head say 'I can't', shut this down and train yourself to not put up with 'I can't'. Satya started her company at age 40 and she reminds us all that it is never too late to go after your dream. Remember, love attracts love. Light attracts light. Keep your intention pure and get out of your way so that you can be a channel for the divine to manifest through you and within you. If you want more abundance, feel the energy of abundance. Tune in to the feeling of abundance. A Kin

Meet Amy Porterfield Amy Porterfield is an online marketing expert and host of the top-ranked podcast, Online Marketing Made Easy. Before building a multi-million dollar digital marketing course business, Amy worked with mega-brands like Harley-Davidson and Peak Performance Coach with Tony Robbins, where she oversaw the content team and collaborated on ground-breaking online marketing campaigns. Through her bestselling courses and popular podcast, Amy's action-by-action approach proves that even the newest online entrepreneurs can bypass the overwhelm and generate exciting momentum as they build a business they love. Amy has been a big influence since the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey and is the 'go-to' person for all things in online marketing. What I loved was Amy's authenticity, genuine wisdom, and desire to help as many women as possible find their entrepreneurial, creative stride and freedom. Below are some of my favorite takeaways from this inspiring conversation. Let Your Why Overpower Your Worry One of Amy's biggest lessons early on in her entrepreneurial career was realizing she needed a powerful 'why' that would help overshadow her worries and doubt. After two years of pursuing the wrong focus of doing social media management and feeling trapped by her clients, she learned that she had to pivot and fire her existing clients. While she had a lot of doubt, Amy tributes her successful shift to getting clear about her 'why', finding people to confide in who believed in her, and reminding herself that she's here to stay and not turning back. I love her work ethic and integrity. As Amy described, she focuses on being herself a person of her word. In the end, this is a mindset game, and it's worth spending time, energy, and resources making sure you are staying true to your desires and 'why'. Amy's Most Inspiring Mentors and Teachers The two people who have most inspired Amy's work and growth are Marie Forleo and Michael Hyatt. She joined Marie's mastermind years ago and saw how she did things on her terms, in her way, and kept showing up consistently. Amy lives by this work ethic and has been showing up with two episodes a week on her podcast, which now has over 1 million downloads each week. Michael Hyatt has been a mentor and now friend who has taught Amy efficiency and productivity and what he calls intentional margin, which takes time away to be your best. After realizing it doesn't work or produce better results, Amy let go of the constant hustle a few years ago. Today Amy Porterfield and her team of 20 employees work a 4 day work week, Monday - Thursday, taking Friday - Sunday off. How To Change Your Money Mindset Make sure you are not operating out of fear. Amy talked about how afraid she was at the beginning of her entrepreneurial career about money. She held on tightly to it and realized that this tense energy would not bring about more abundance. Instead, Amy adopted the phrase "There's more of that where this money comes from" and started to shift how she felt. The biggest change was when she decided to invest in her team, her business and let go of the fear. Today Amy Porterfield runs a multi-million dollar business and is most proud to employ 20 full-time people on her team; 19 women and 1 man, all in leadership positions. She loves that most are moms who are modeling for their daughters how to be a leader and have a balanced life. This wouldn't be possible if she didn't change her money mindset. You can do this too! How To Make Online Marketing Easy If you're a new or budding entrepreneur, here's what you need to get started in building your email list and in the digital marketing world: For your email list: You'll need an email service provider like ConvertKit or ActiveCampaign Create a Freebie that gives excellent value and is something that one would be willing to give their name and email Talk about this lead magnet everywhere and anywhere on social media. For Online Marketing: Start creating content and share it on one social media channel. Pick the one that is best for you and your industry Start something like a blog, video/channel, or podcast and add value You'll want to be sure to stay consistent and keep sharing about what you're doing and offering. Final Thoughts Amy Porterfield's knowledge of digital marketing as well as balancing life and business is worth a listen for every working mother. Just know, being an entrepreneur is basically being in a constant state of troubleshooting and figuring out what works and what isn't working. Get ready to become a master troubleshooter and be ok with getting kicked down, knowing you will get back up and grow beyond what you might imagine. Just always work to maintain your balance.

Meet Selena Soo Selena Soo is a publicity and marketing strategist for visionary entrepreneurs, experts, and authors who want to reach millions with their message. She's helped clients and students get featured in places like O, The Oprah Magazine, Forbes, and Inc. and land interviews on popular podcasts and national TV. Many of Selena's clients have become industry leaders with six and 7-figure businesses, raving fan bases, and hundreds of thousands of followers. Her signature approach comes down to building powerful and long-lasting relationships with influencers and the media in a thoughtful, authentic way. A former New Yorker, Selena now lives by the beach in beautiful Puerto Rico. Selena has created an amazing free publicity calendar for you. Get your copy at juliereisler.com/freecalendar. What I love About Selena I so appreciate Selena's willingness to be vulnerable and move through discomfort to be of greater service in the world and go after her dreams. As a natural introvert, Selena Soo talked about how she got into the world of publicity and spoke on stage and in a public way. We talked real deal here about her struggle with depression, and in that search to feel better, she found coaches and incredible leaders in the personal growth world who changed her life. In this true desire to help others move through feelings of angst, depression, and trauma, she realized she wanted to help others feel supported and not alone through publicity, which led her to create her Impacting Millions program. Selena talked about how she has transformed perfectionistic thinking, and rather than grading herself on an impossible standard of perfection, she now asks herself these questions anytime she puts herself out there: 1. Did I show up generously? 2. Was I present? I think these questions are total game-changers for the way we reflect, review and often rate ourselves. In the end, it is all about being of greater service and being truly available, present, and generous. Deep Down, Your Soul Knows Your Story One of the reasons to tap into publicity and share your story is that when you do so, you can help others know they are not alone. Selena shared about breaking the silence when she was terrified to leave an emotionally abusive relationship that ended up becoming a total nightmare. She knew how alone life felt going through this trauma and believed that by sharing her story, she could help others identify and leave abusive relationships. Deep in her soul, she was clear that it was necessary to share what she had learned even amidst the fear of coming out about such a traumatic experience. The power of publicity was writing her story in an article that then touched hearts all over the globe. Your soul knows your story, and if you feel pulled to help others, it's a gift to let others into your life lessons. Creating Role Models In The World Through publicity and helping others feel seen and understood, you are taking your power back and becoming what Selena calls a role model in the world. Selena Soo's signature powerful program, Impacting Millions, does just this. It will teach and guide you how to become a role model at the highest level through publicity and the media. If others don't know you exist, you can't help as many people. Impacting Millions, One Person At A Time Selena Soo tells us you've got to get clear on your 'why', and your soul's story. You also need to know what's attractive to the media and how to make your pitch as magnetic as possible so that your words can inspire others. Impacting Millions teaches you these strategies, tools, and methodologies and how to leverage media opportunities to grow and ultimately impact millions. High Standards for Integrous Living Selena shared some of her guiding principles, which I hope inspire you as much as they've inspired me. She has 12 principles printed out that she reviews daily. You can do the same -- review these and add others that feel true. A few of her top principles: Prioritize Peace Hold high standards for your inner circle Respond thoughtfully versus reaction mindlessly (there's a power in the pause) and Prioritize wellbeing. Lastly, we joked at the end about loving our beautiful gold pendulum necklaces by Satya Jewelry. If you want to get one for yourself (we've filled ours with rose quartz stones and a blessing), go to satyajewelery.com and use the special coupon code JULIE20. Final Thoughts Selena Soo reminds us that by telling your soul story you can connect deeply with others. She teaches in her program Impacting Millions how to take that story and connect not just with a few but to use publicity on a larger scale to literally impact millions of people.

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. So often, people will ask how to truly become your You-est You, the you that has always been there and always will. I realized that I hadn't yet done an episode on this exactly, so I'm hoping this will spark a deeper conversation and curiosity within you, my friend, to really ask yourself how you might excavate and release your fullest, truest, most authentic self. I shared that while I can see your You-est You, I want you to be able to see it as well. Here is my SEE methodology that hopefully will help you know where to start. Please share with me what you think and if you'd like to go deeper into this concept in another episode or even a program. And as always, take what resonates and leave the rest! Your Infinite Potential Let's define the term 'You-est You'. Here's the thing, you were born your You-est You. You will leave this realm and world as your You-est You. It is your truest, most authentic self, both in mind, body, and spirit. Your unique individuation of the divine comes with batteries included, meaning you were born with gifts, talents, skills, special abilities, and a spark that is as unique and rare as your thumbprint. Just like an acorn, if you plant, water, nourish and tend to it, over time, it will begin to grow into a beautiful oak tree. You are the same. You have that same limitless potentiality within you. With your own consciousness, love, compassion, and curiosity, you will be able to live a life full of freedom, peace, ease, grace, and abundance as your fullest self. And this means that while we're all connected by the same infinite intelligence, you also have your own unique human expression that is waiting to be tapped into, dusted off, and loved upon so it too can blossom and flourish. Here's How To See Your You-est You I looked closely at my own self-discovery work over the past twenty years through support like coaching, therapy, 12-steps, and many other healing modalities. I realized that no matter what the process, there are three key ingredients to being able to emerge and truly be your You-est You. This SEE method is all about helping you see, know, and become your You-est You. It will help open the doors to self-exploration. SAFE: First, before you can do any kind of excavation work, you must feel safe. Safety is crucial, especially if you've experienced struggles, trauma, and challenges around embracing and loving yourself. While I didn't go too far into cultivating safety, the main thing to know is that you deserve to have a quiet, loving, and sacred space to build your relationship with yourself. This could look like meditation, walking in nature, silence, and prayer. Feeling safe with yourself means calming your nervous system, allowing for your body to feel at ease, and creating a state of being that allows for receptivity, expansion, and miracles. EXPLORE: You might wake up one morning realizing that you are not living a life that feels fully aligned, or perhaps all the fun and enjoyable things you used to do went out the window during the pandemic when having kids or taking on that new job. Now that you've created a safe space within, it's time to explore what fully brings you energy and joy. You'll want to do a deep reflection of your past and times when you felt most lit up, most aligned, most connected to the Universe, most energized, joyful, and felt the most pleasure. Gather this data with curiosity and start to notice patterns. This self-exploration will unlock valuable information you wouldn't otherwise have noticed. I did this years ago and realized that I always loved the art of entertaining and educating others. Whether it was in a school musical, singing in my high school a cappella group, announcing the top stories and weekly news in my high school, or interviewing my favorite teachers. When I saw that I wasn't doing any of this, I realized that my me-est me wanted to go back to my performer and entertainment roots. I signed up for an on-camera and teleprompter class, fou

Meet John Assaraf John Assaraf is one of the leading mindset and behavioral experts in the world who has appeared numerous times on Larry King Live, Anderson Cooper and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. John built 5 multimillion-dollar companies; one went public on NASDAQ and one, RE/MAX of Indiana, grew to 1,200 sales associates and $4.5 billion a year in sales. He has written a new bestselling book, Innercise: The New Science to Unlock Your Brain's Hidden Power, in addition to his 2 New York Times Bestselling books (Having It All and the Answer) that have been translated to 35 languages. John has been featured in 10 movies, including the blockbuster hit "The Secret" and "Quest For Success" with Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama. Today, he is the founder and CEO of MyNeuroGym.com, a company dedicated to using the most advanced technologies and evidence-based brain training methods to help individuals strengthen their mindset and emotional skills, so they unleash their inner power and maximize their results. This is not a conversation to miss for so many reasons. John Assaraf shared vulnerably about his challenging upbringing and life as a teen selling drugs and getting into trouble. You would never have guessed this was his earlier life experience from who he is today. We started with the important question about understanding the power of mindset. The Power of Mindset Carol Dweck wrote the fantastic book, Mindset, which addresses the core idea that we either fall into the category of having an open mindset, meaning willingness and belief you can change, or a fixed mindset, which is the erroneous belief that you are unable to change your thoughts, habits and life. John poses some questions to ask yourself when tapping into how to change your mindset. Where's my awareness of my thoughts and behaviors? Where does focus come in? John Assaraf encourages us to all be radically honest about our actions and beliefs. Ask yourself, Why am I doing this? What are my motivators, both external and internal? Be honest with yourself without judgment, blame, shame or justification. When we look from an open mindset and that of curiosity, we can see patterns and triggers that can empower us to change. This is how you can begin to let go of paradigms, beliefs, and ideas that are not right. John shared that "There are a lot of opportunities to be brilliantly dumb. It's in surrendering and learning that we're most brilliant." The One Question to Help You Achieve Your Goals and Desires John Assaraf talked about the synchronicity of meeting his mentor, Allen Brown, back in the '80s at a time when he was on the verge of going to jail or ending up dead. Allen asked him at the ripe age of 19 what his goals and dreams were. John wrote down what he envisioned at the time; retiring at 45, traveling first class, traveling the world, etc. Allen then shared the most powerful question that changed John's life and lens on what was possible. He asked: "Are you interested, or are you committed to achieving these goals?" John thought about it and wasn't sure what he meant. Allen explained that being committed, you'll do whatever it takes to upgrade your habits, beliefs, skills, and identity to match your destiny. First, you make the decision to do something. Then you figure out how. The how already exists, and you must get rid of any 'buts' that will thwart your commitment. You have to practice a little bit each day being the person you want to be. You need to ask yourself what habits are required to achieve your goals and do a little each day towards your goal. Over time, with pure commitment to pursue your desires no matter what, you will become the person achieving your goals. When you're committed, there are no excuses. That is the true power of mindset-moving from wishing to commitment. You Are Worthy of Your Goals The energy that created you is within you. This greater infinite intelligence is part of you. As John said, let's play from there. Remember that you are inherently worthy, and as you stay connected to this truth, you can truly live your highest potential and achieve your deepest desires and goals. Be on the relentless pursuit for radical honesty with yourself and ask yourself if you are interested or committed to your heart's desires. If you're committed, there's no way it can't happen. Final Thoughts John Assaraf reminds us that with the power of mindset, our efforts can become limitless. That is if we choose between interested and wishful thinking versus being committed to the cause. If you are looking for how to change your mindset, remember to ask yourself the questions John poses above to get yourself moving on the right track.

Meet Lynya Floyd Lynya Floyd is the senior media coach for Selena Soo's Impacting Millions program, where she works with entrepreneurs, coaches, and experts who want to elevate their status using the power of the media. She has helped clients land stories in media outlets like Forbes, Fast Company, Business Insider, Well & Good, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur on Fire, and more. Lynya has nearly two decades of experience working in the media as an editor at magazines including Glamour, Essence, Family Circle, Seventeen. As a journalist, her articles have appeared in national publications like Oprah, Money, Health, Cosmopolitan, and Martha Stewart Living. She has also been featured as a health expert on The Today Show, The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors, FOX, NPR, and more. When she's not helping her clients put a megaphone to their message, she's ghostwriting books and working as a nationally certified integrative health coach in New York City. The Power of Getting Your Story Out There Lynya Floyd shared why getting your story into the world is so important. As an expert journalist, writer, and editor, Lynya has learned to use words and stories to help others change their lives. "You never know how you can save or shift someone's life because of the story you're sharing." Lynya explained that three factors should always be woven into your writing: educate, entertain, and empower. She shares about the power of hearing from readers that her articles over the year helped empower them to better physical or emotional health and wellbeing. Your ability to share from a place of true education and empowerment while keeping your content entertaining is what it's all about. Flourishing and Healing Intergenerational Trauma When asked about her two high point moments over her 20+ year career as a journalist and writer, Lynya shared that her two most recent articles for Oprah and Shape magazine brought her incredible joy and gratitude. Her piece for Oprah was all about the different emotions we're going through during the pandemic and how to move into flourishing. We talked more about the concept of flourishing and how it's connected to the flow state, known for deep connection and productivity. Lynya Floyd shared some powerful questions to ask yourself about where you might need support with resilience and flourishing. Those questions were: "Look at what zaps your resilience and identify the key markers. How might you overcome them?" This can be a very empowering way to manage emotions that are not as easy or enjoyable. Lynya's piece for Shape magazine was all about intergenerational trauma, and in doing extensive research for the article, she learned that while intergenerational trauma doesn't change your DNA, it can impact the way your DNA is expressed. I highly recommend reading both articles, which can be found below or on Lynya Floyd's linktree: https://linktr.ee/Lynya The Need To Impact Millions Lynya Floyd is also the lead media director for Selena Soo's premier program, Impacting Millions, which is all about teaching thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and coaches how to get into the media. One of the areas that many find most challenging to overcome when you pitch the media are the mental blocks. Lynya wants you to understand that your story and media pitch is incredibly helpful to an editor who is constantly searching for interesting, newsworthy, and meaningful stories. You are not going to annoy the editor, and in fact, once you know how to create a solid media pitch, you are actually being of service and helping an editor greatly. I agree with Lynya's heart flare: "Your story matters and has power, potential, and the ability to impact one, one hundred, one thousand or even one million." The Most Important Tip to Pitch the Media Many entrepreneurs and writers jump to the pitch before doing the most important step. Lynya shared that before you start your media pitch, you must know what your expert topics are. She recommends coming up with three expert topics that are broad categories, like health and wellness or publicity (her expertise). It's easy to list more than three topics, but it's crucial to keep it to a smaller list of three areas where you have expertise. In sum, you want to keep your expert topics broad and your stories short and narrow. Final Thoughts Lynya Floyd is an expert when it comes to how to pitch the media. If you are looking to expand into writing for magazines, newspapers, or online resources, Lynya's advice on media pitches will help get your foot in the door.

Daniel Mangena is an International Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Broadcaster, and Coach. He is best known for his highly successful Micro2Millions program, being the author of Stepping Beyond Intention and his Do it With Dan and Beyond Success podcasts. He is completely self-made and has spent decades perfecting his world-class coaching methodology. His mission statement: "To spearhead an evolutionary uplift in universal consciousness, by awakening people to the importance of their unique role and enabling them to manifest their dream life." This was a straightforward conversation about how to set your intention and manifest what you truly desire. Dan talked about letting go of the ego and tapping into your heart through these steps: not worrying what others think, surrounding yourself with high vibrational people, being open to being wrong, and learning and having clarity on your vision. You've got to start by accepting that you are the author of your life, be clear about what you are intending, feel grateful in advance for this manifestation and listen for your next right action. Expectation will predict what you manifest and being grateful ahead of time is the way to powerfully call forth what you are wanting to see come to fruition. In sum, your inner beliefs and way of being have to match what you're looking to manifest. The way to determine your inner state is by assessing your emotional state. You'll want to really look at how you feel and see if your emotions match what you have and what you want. Here is the easy process Dan recommended to do this: 1. Get clear on what you want and 2. Imagine standing there seeing your future self, notice how you feel in that future moment. Take the future self-feeling and start prioritizing feeling that way now, as Dan has done, which are freedom, expansion, meaning, love, gratitude, or pride.

Meet Caroline Cory Caroline Cory is a writer, director, producer, and award-winning filmmaker, futurist, and the visionary author of best-selling books on Consciousness and Energy Medicine topping the charts of Consciousness Science and mystical literature. As a child and throughout her life, Caroline has had numerous E.S.P (extra-sensory) and pre-cognition experiences, which led her to become deeply connected to existential topics, the study of Consciousness, and the mechanics of the universe. After teaching Energy Medicine and consciousness work for over a decade, Caroline founded Omnium Media, an entertainment and media platform that tackles various thought-provoking topics on the human condition and the nature of reality. In addition to writing and producing, she lectures and coaches internationally on various mind-over-matter subjects. She appears regularly as a guest expert on supernatural phenomena at major conferences and television shows, including The UnXplained with William Shatner and History Channel's popular series the Ancient Aliens. Among several recent accomplishments, Caroline's latest film, AMONG US, has won 9 film awards and 2 nominations at various festivals around the globe. What a treat to interview spiritual luminary Caroline Cory. I watched SUPERHUMAN: The Invisible Made Visible about a year ago and found my jaw dropped throughout the entire film. Through scientific experiments and powerful practices of mental focus, she shows how we can move objects, change the PH level of water, and do other incredible things using the power of focus, intention, and our mind. This conversation went deep into the greater understanding of consciousness and how, as human beings, we are more than we see and understand. And I mean, way more than we might believe or comprehend. As always, listen in with your heart and an open mind. Energy is Everything. Everything is Consciousness We started our conversation by talking about the fact that energy is everything. Caroline Cory shared her personal story of encountering a group of beings at age five and how she felt their unconditional love and began to communicate with them telepathically. They explained that she had to ask, meaning learn to focus and intend, to connect with what she learned later is her spirit family and lineage. In fact, Caroline believes we all have this ability to focus our mind and energy on connecting both with our higher self and our own spirit family energy. She has been teaching this for over 38 years and has many courses, books, and films that can help you better connect to your energy and consciousness. For those who might need a refresher, Caroline explains that consciousness is not in the brain. It is the base and substance that make up all that is. We are thus individuated expressions of this consciousness, and we always remain part of the whole. The goal is to know how to focus on both your individual self and the universal consciousness. Your Guidance System Explained We all have an inner guidance system, which is your emotions, to help you navigate life. Caroline likens it to emotions, either giving you a green or red light. If it doesn't feel good, it's time to stop. If you're experiencing something that doesn't feel aligned, notice and stop what you're doing. Remember that it is just a guidance system and is here to tell you what's happening. Rather than judging any emotion, see it as an alert or reminder that you're either dealing with a green or red light. For those who want to master their inner guidance system, check out Caroline's course on doing just that so you can better understand how to work with your guidance system. Unlocking Your Greater Purpose We all came here to discover our profound purpose of who we really are. Our guidance system can help us know when we're on or off track and learn how to hear our own truth and inner wisdom. A Message of Hope and Empowerment At the end of our conversation, Caroline Cory shared a message that was all about confidence. She wants you to remember that you know you can do this and are capable. Tune in to the energy and truth of confidence, letting go of doubt and fear, which can interfere with trusting yourself. Intend that you want to release your doubt and fears from every cell in your body. You might say, "I'm letting go of programming in my conscious, subconscious, cellular structure, and brain. Let the energy of confidence fill your heart and cells. This is the real me. And so it is." Final Thoughts Caroline Cory helps us see that inner guidance is the gift of a guidance system of emotions warning us of what it right for us or not. To tune in and use this system to feel aligned to our purpose. How tuning also helps us stop and recognize that energy is everything, therefore expanding our consciousness by reminding us that we are part of the whole.

It's Time To Wake Up In this episode, I turned the tables and flipped the script. Spiritual luminary and friend Steve Nobel interviewed me all about the topic of imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and working through that inner critic voice that says, "Who do you think you are?" I share quite vulnerably about my story of struggling with food addiction, people-pleasing, stuffing emotions down with food and denial, and learning how to truly tap into my higher self. This episode is about waking up to your divinity, your inner guidance, building self-trust, and the deep desires that are here to be expressed for a reason. Who Were You At Age 7? The clues to who you really are and what you truly desire can be found in what you imagined, dreamed of, and played with at a younger age. Sit back and ask yourself, what did you love to do when you were seven years old? What did you find fun, exciting, engaging, and energizing? Within the playfulness you experienced as a child lies the bread crumbs that can lead to who you really are. I shared about how I constantly imagined a camera crew around me as I was interviewing guests and talking about whatever I loved at the moment --- chocolate chip cookies, pudding pops, ballet, or drawing and trading Lisa Frank stickers. I could imagine people tuning in and finding joy from these conversations and interviews. Today I have a show where I interview leaders, experts, and spiritual luminaries who share wisdom and lessons learned. So much of what I'm doing feels aligned with my little girl's dreams. Look to see what you are doing now and if there are aspects of your younger self showing up. If not, see how you can start bringing in this part of you and honoring your deeper desires, joy, and calling. Who Do You Think You Are? In Tara Brach's new book, Trusting the Gold: Learning to Nurture Your Inner Light, she reminds us that inherently we are all made of the same goodness and that it's important to learn how to trust this inner light and goodness from within. This is the year to be kinder to yourself and speak to yourself with compassion, grace, and loving-kindness to quiet your inner critic and develop a sense of self-trust. Just as Tara shared about her practice of reminding herself to 'soften the edge', which helped her heal from an illness with ease, you also can speak to yourself in a way that can create calm, tenderness, and support. Maybe you start to call yourself something loving like 'sweetheart', 'darling' or 'beautiful'. Choose something that feels kind and comforting, and remember to see the goodness that always lives within you. The answer to this is not where you think it is. Look deeper, look inward, look into your heart. Your ego, bless your cute ego, is really trying to keep you safe, protected, and free from hurt. Your ego will put on the Imposter Syndrome costume, making you feel that you are unworthy or unable to do what it is you truly desire. My recommendation is not to ever condemn or shame yourself or your ego. Instead, notice when your ego says things like in the imposter syndrome family like "I'm a fraud" or "They're going to find out I'm not as good as they think", or something else that's mean and untrue and creates self-doubt. Observe this ego-fear-based dialogue and remember that this isn't the truth of you. The truth of you is a higher consciousness that is connected to the greater source of joy, love, full self-expression, and wisdom. Take Off The Mask of Imposter Syndrome The best way to take off your imposter syndrome mask is to raise your awareness. To do this, you've got to start adding daily time to be quiet. Any kind of meditation works, although I'm personally a fan of transcendental meditation because it requires no effort and is all about being in stillness, with your mantra, and allows for your brain to get into the healing alpha wave state. But however you find time to be silent and breathe, it will increase your awareness and consciousness. This slowing down and deeper inner connection will help you to notice when your inner critic starts to say things that make you feel like a fraud, doubtful, unworthy or lets self-doubt creep in. Once you can see

Meet Laura Belgray Laura Belgray, the founder of Talking Shrimp and co-creator of The Copy Cure, is a copywriting expert who helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she's seen firsthand that putting "you" into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your Buy button. In addition to online types, Laura's list of clients and credits includes NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many more. So if you watch TV -- and don't skip the commercials -- you've probably seen her words on air. You can learn more about Laura and her incredible courses and freebies at talkingshrimp.com. Have you ever been so excited to open your inbox because it contained an email you actually wanted to read? Or see an Instagram post with a caption that made you pee in your pants? That, my friend, is the pure magic of great copywriting. And the magic of Laura Belgray. I've got some darn good wisdom coming your way from my guest today, Laura Belgray, the founder of Talking Shimp and co-creator of the Copy Cure, who will help you stop writing sucky copy (as Laura says). This conversation was so much fun that it even passed my 'hurting cheeks' test. That's when I notice my cheeks hurting after smiling and laughing during an interview. This convo was a total 10 on the 1-10 hurting cheek scale. I hope your cheeks hurt a little bit, too, after listening to this conversation. Email Marketing Gone Right I don't want to give it all away, but you're going to love Laura's humor and wit. A good place to start with using great copy in your email marketing and newsletters is to stop being formal and start being personable and most importantly, be yourself. A great way to do this is to pretend you're writing to your bestie. Draft an email speaking to your BFF and then read it out loud. Remember, you're talking to a person, so keep it genuine, focused on that one person and write like you'd talk. The goal is to have your emails feel more intimate, relaxed, natural, and conversational. Another little pro tip, use the person's first name (sparingly) throughout the newsletter. Laura also shares: What an EFAB is and why you need to use it The best way to write subject headings (and preview text) in a newsletter The one phrase to NEVER use in an email How to get paid being you The new rule on using contractions and apostrophes Final Thoughts Laura shares so much goodness about copywriting, email marketing, and laughs that just don't stop. Make sure you tune in to hear about her stint on Sesame Street and why she now eats Raisin Bran.

Meet the Panel Today's episode is with a panel of amazing transformation life coaches who all graduated from my LIfe Designer® Coaching certification program. The conversation is all about how not to abandon any part of you and to be fully self-expressed as a multi-passionate person and entrepreneur.

Jennifer Underwood (JLeh) is a Certified Life Designer® coach, Advanced DNA ThetaHealing® practitioner, Vice-Chair of the Global Association for Trauma Recovery, and creator of the Redefining Inheritance method. Oh my goodness, You-est You listeners...this panel of badass women entrepreneurs was pure magic and brilliance. There are so many take-aways that I've decided to write up these show notes more as an outline and summary of the amazing quotes, lessons, practices, and rituals that can help you honor your multi-passionate self, be it in your career, business, or life. Here we go... Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur First off, it's ok to be a multi-passionate entrepreneur! See this as a strength, not a liability. There is no one way to do life, business, or your journey. As Gina said, follow your own spark and find your authentic path. It's crucial to invest in yourself and to learn how to lead yourself. The art and science of coaching give you the tools to learn how to ask powerful questions, listen at a much deeper level, and get curious. Abby reminded us that through these coaching techniques, you can learn to even coach yourself. It's about self-leadership! You don't have to be perfect to serve others! JLeh also reminded us that happiness is always a choice, and it's up to you to prioritize your happiness and joy. When you allow yourself to feel all the way through, there is magic in grieving. Jennifer talked about the importance of managing your limited energy, especially during such intense and challenging times. Strengthen Your Sense of Self Practices to help you strengthen your sense of self, intuition, and energy: Strengthen your vibration by listening to music you love, being in nature, reading inspirational works, and connecting to others in the community Focus on gratitude and being unconditionally loving to yourself and others. Maximize your life flow by creating an environment that supports your best and regulates your nervous system. Ways to do this could be attuning to your energy and making sure you're getting enough sleep, excellent nutrition, movement, breathwork, and staying aligned mind, heart, and spirit. Create rituals to support your mornings and evenings. An easy one is to light a candle at the end of each day, signifying a change in the energy, slowing down, and coming home to yourself. Plan ahead and be intentional with your time. A great morning starts the night before! Final Thoughts Let your heart flare! There's no better time to start anything than right now. Don't delay, and don't judge your past. Rather than being a seeker, be a finder. Ask yourself powerful questions, get curious, and create a practice to support you. Stay true to your heart and take this life thing one step at a time. Don't be afraid to be a multi-passionate entrepreneur, let nothing hold you back!

Meet Neale Donald Walsch Neale Donald Walsch has written 39 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his early adult years thriving professionally yet searching for greater meaning in life. He has said that this yearning led to a series of deeply personal spiritual encounters, which he experienced as direct exchanges with the Divine. A series of books titled Conversations with God emerged from those moments through inspired writing, and they have been translated into 37 languages. Seven books in the series reached the New York Times bestseller list; Conversations with God-Book 1 remained there for over two-and-a-half years. His latest book is The God Solution, published in December 2020, which invites humanity to embrace a new global ethic based on a refined and clarified definition of God. The book proposes that there is a single statement of spiritual truth upon which all the world's religions could agree and which would birth a shift of spiritual paradigms around the globe of such magnitude that it would produce peace and happiness on our planet at last. You can find out more at nealedonaldwalsch.com Soul seekers, this is a conversation not to miss! Neale Donald Walsch graciously came back on the You-est You podcast to share greater and deeper insights about connecting with the divine and why we must start remembering our divinity and acting on it now. It's a gift to share this interview, and I hope it brings you increased peace, spiritual connection, compassion, and awareness of who you really are. If you missed his previous episode, be sure to catch The God Solution. It Took 35 Years To Become An Overnight Success It's easy to see a luminary like Neale Donald Walsch and think that his bestselling book, Conversations with God, was just an overnight success. In truth, Neale shared with us that his skill in writing and excellent communication skills relied on 35 years of experience as a radio host, journalist, actor, and performer. The book itself, an unplanned and extraordinary experience communicating with God, was not something he had planned for, yet the ability to write succinctly and with ease came from years of experience. It's important to look at your own skills, talents, and experiences and trust that the divine has plans to put them to use in a way that will serve a higher good, as it did with Neale. Interestingly, right before the book sold millions of copies, Neale Donald Walsch's life was certainly not a bestseller, as it was falling apart. He had been laid off, had major marriage issues, and suffered health problems. Soon after being laid off, he was hit by an older driver who didn't see him and broke his neck. Neale ended up living on the sidewalk for an entire year (you read that right), and it wasn't until a miracle part-time job at a radio station that he started to regain some semblance of a life with shelter, food, and a little bit of money. It was during this time when he lived in a small in-laws suite that he took out his yellow legal pad and began to vent his anger to God one early morning at 4 am. In pure anger and frustration, he asked questions like "Why me?" and What do you want from me? What does it take to make life work?" Then something incredible happened -- Neale heard a voice that jokingly said, "Do you really want the answers?" From then on, he took dictation and wrote down what he was hearing, and started a paper dialogue. Inspired Writing Neale shared that he doesn't view his writing or the book as channeled since no other entity or collective consciousness took over him or his writing. Instead, he sees this as inspired writing. He kept a record of what he was hearing and being told. In fact, early on in the Conversations with God book, God shares that it is constantly communicating with ALL of us. It's up to us to listen. The real question is, who is listening? We often hear or sense this communication through an epiphany, our intuition, or what you might call a psychic hit. The God Solution Research shows the 8 out of 10 people believe in a Higher Power and that we have 4300 organized religions on the planet. Neale addresses the problem in his most recent and last book, The God Solution, that while we teach to act like God, we have it upside down in believing that God is judgmental, angry, condemning, and punishing. All of these are human characteristics and not true to God. We misunderstand what it means to be Godly and God-like. God's job is not to fix things; rather God's intention is to infuse the power of divinity within everyone. We need to change how we are using and connecting to this Higher Power and redefine God. Neale suggests redefining God as Pure Love; Pure Love means a need, want, expectation, and demanding absolutely nothing in return. This is where we must change our way of acting and being to emulate

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. Wishing you, big-hearted friend, a most blessed new year and powerful 2022! Today, I am sharing some powerful insights about managing your energy and manifesting your best life after reading two of my new favorite books. If you identify as an empath or highly sensitive person, which means someone who is very in tune with others' emotions and even feeling their emotions as yours, and/or as highly sensitive, this episode is a must-listen for you. I redefine the way to look at your ego, how it's crucial to stop shaming, blaming, and being at war with yourself, and the importance of developing strong boundaries and your individual identity. Redefining Your Relationship To Your Ego This might surprise you, but most empaths are naturally and incredibly tuned in to a higher consciousness and sense of unity with others but often lack an individuated sense of self. In reading Anita Moorjani's amazing book, Sensitive Is the New Strong: The Power of Empaths in an Increasingly Harsh World; she gives the example of picturing volume knobs that you might find on an old fashioned radio. For empaths and highly sensitive persons (hi, I see you!), your knob will automatically be turned way up in the high consciousness and connectedness category, but what is probably turned way too low or even off is your ego knob. I shared how impactful this distinction is since so much of my own learning and experience with spiritual teachers has been to negate, override, let go of or shame your ego into existence. The truth is that when you look at the definition of ego, which is "a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance," it takes on a different meaning than we are often taught. In fact, it's crucial to have a sense of self and importance to stand powerfully and firmly in your own ideals, boundaries, values, and experience of self. I've found that as an empath, it's easy to get caught up in someone else's emotions, so much so that in the past, I would have a hard time distinguishing myself from the other person. I sense you're in a similar boat, and for you, this idea of connecting more deeply to your individuated idea of self, your ego, is a must and shouldn't be shamed or feared. I'm not talking about those who are egocentric, egomaniacs, or narcissists. Which would mean the dial is turned all the way up on the ego and down on conscious connection. Anita shares that you want both dials turned up and with a strong sense of self to honor your boundaries and what works for your energy and life. Let me know what you think of this and how redefining your relationship with your ego is helping you to feel more loving to yourself and others. The Power of Boundaries for Empaths As an empath or highly sensitive person, it is imperative to know your boundaries and know how to effectively and kindly communicate when they've been crossed. This can be challenging for anyone who self-identifies as a people pleaser or is uncomfortable with conflict. I shared a few ways to use language that is direct yet still kind to express your boundary and feelings. For example, if a family member strongly suggests changing your plans to make an event yet it is not comfortable or ideal for you to attend, it's helpful to have ways of sharing your appreciation for their thoughtfulness and to kindly decline. You might say something like, 'I really appreciate your invite and wanting me there, but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me to attend.' I have seen how the power of coaching can help with finding ways to speak directly and with integrity as well as coming up with new questions you can ask yourself to know your own boundaries better. The more you practice setting and keeping boundaries, the easier it becomes, and just like strengthening a muscle, you will soon have a strong boundary muscle to lean on. Boundaries are also highly important for managing your energy and cultivating a healthy sense of self. You Are Golden with Goodness In Tara Brach's new book, Trusting the Gold: Learning to Nurture Your Inner Light, she reminds us that inherently we are all made of the same goodness and that it's important to learn h
