You can find The Way of Miracles film at https://thewayofmiracles.com The Way of Miracles First off, I highly recommend that you find the time to watch The Way of Miracles! It is a stunning depiction of the power of love and healing that exists in all of us. Here are some of the beautiful take-aways from this enlightened conversation: All healing starts with compassion and listening to your heart. It's about letting your heart talk to other hearts. There are actually two of you: your mortal self (the ego) and your immortal self (your soul). You can focus on the material world and self (your ego), or you can focus on developing your inner world and identifying with your higher self (our soul). Know your soul self and reorient your life to come from your soul self. Miracles are a natural part of life. You are a miracle. Give yourself the gift of 10 minutes of staring in the mirror, gazing at the center of your eye until you can feel your being. Become what you see! Start where you are. Start small, focus on daily gratitude and witness your thoughts, don't become them. There's nothing more important than miracles, and remember, you are most definitely a miracle. Final Thoughts In The Way of Miracles, Christina Vircillo Bresson and Mark Mincolla, Ph.D., show us that healing truly does come from a place of love.

Meet Steve Nobel Steve Ahnael Nobel is the author of 6 non-fiction books; the two most recent are a free Ebook entitled 'Starseeds.' And The Spiritual Entrepreneur. He was a director of a not-for-profit spiritual organization called Alternatives (based in St. James's Church, Piccadilly, London W1) for 13 years, leaving on the Winter Solstice of 2012. Subsequently, he began his own healing and awakening work. He has created a healing system called Soul Matrix Healing for Starseeds. He has created a library of free resources, including meditations and transmission to help Starseeds which are freely available on his website and YouTube channel. These meditations and transmissions are played all over the world, and so far, the platform has over 135K subscribers. We talked about Starseeds, Steve's newest book, The Spiritual Entrepreneur, and reviewed spiritual practices, the laws of manifestation, and how to get in your highest vibrational flow. Definitely keep listening to the whole episode as Steve leads us in an amazing money manifestation meditation. So What Is A Starseed? Starseeds, as depicted in the book The Law of One, are wandering souls who are multidimensional and from other planetary systems. Starseeds often have a wake-up call or point in their life where they are suddenly awakened to a greater reality that doesn't fit their current reality. I'll share I've certainly experienced this a few times in my life. They don't like authority, often feel they don't fit in or belong, and have a strong ascension purpose, which is about moving from darkness to greater light on this planet. We are in a time right now of moving into the 5th density, which is a vibrational force and new consciousness here on this planet. Starseeds are all about helping to shift this consciousness and changing the paradigm of growth through suffering to abundance, freedom, and ease. Curious if after reading this, you feel you are a Starseed? Let me know. I'd love to hear your insights! Waking Up The Planet As mentioned earlier, a key sign of a Starseed (often spiritual entrepreneurs) is feeling asleep at the wheel of life and then having a major wake up encounter in their life-be it a career change, divorce, health crisis, or religious confusion. Starseeds also notoriously have a big vision, in service to others, and want to change things. They talk freely about vibration, angels, and manifestation and come by this kind of discussion as though it's their first language. Steve Nobel reminds us Starseeds to embrace our weirdness, as this is your unique gift --- "your weirdness is your brilliance." How To Manifest More Money Steve Nobel & I talked a lot about manifesting money and remembering that money is just energy. Energy can be moved by consciousness. Thus so can money. That is just part of the idea behind his book Spiritual Entrepreneur. Steve shared a powerful affirmation to build your relationship with money: "I am 100% open, deserving, and willing and worthy of accumulating all forms of wealth in my life." He reminded us of the quote by Wayne Dyer that states the one grand lie in life --- that the only limits we have, are the ones we believe. It's time to expand all limits about money and what's possible. The Key Beliefs for Manifesting and Wealth The Universe is abundant The Universe wants me to prosper. All prosperity starts with belief. Money is an abstraction and is not real. Money is energy. Money has no intelligence of its own. Money will respond to the instructions you give it. Money needs to be valued. You must value money and it demands your attention. Money is vibration (and high vibration at that). If you are anxious about money, you are in a lower vibration. A place to look first is how to become more grounded and higher vibration about money. Oftentimes money issues are about a lack of balance of feminine and masculine energy. Final Thoughts Steve Nobel shares that his new book Spiritual Entrepreneur is about unfolding the beliefs regarding how to move the energy of money to manifest it more fully in your life. His core beliefs can easily be used as affirmations in your day-to-day life.

Meet Ashley Bernardi Ashley Bernardi is the founder of powerhouse media relations firm Nardi Media. She works with corporations, brands, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits to obtain high-profile placements in broadcast, print, and online media. Trained as a journalist at CBS News, nationally syndicated program energyNOW! on Bloomberg, and Washington Post Live, she has a natural ear for a story and a journalist's passion for research. The traumatic death of her father at a young age and diagnosis of Lyme Disease and postpartum depression after the birth of her third child deepened her passion for health, wellness, and spirituality. It taught her how to access her own authentic power to heal her life. She is a certified Life Designer® and received her certificate in The Science of Well-Being from Yale University. In addition, Ashley hosts the award-winning podcast 2 Girls Talking. Ashely is also the author of the new powerful book, Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission To Feel. The oldest child in a proud military family, Ashley was born in Schweinfurt, Germany, and has lived and worked in New York City and Washington, D.C. She currently resides in Northern Virginia with her family. Ashley is a frequently featured expert in the media, including Forbes, Great Day Washington, Good Day DC, and more. Path to Self-Discovery If you have ever struggled with not letting yourself feel your emotions, pushing down trauma, feelings that are uncomfortable, or putting on a mask of strength to hide your pain or grief, this conversation is for you. There are so many insightful takeaways from Ashley's vulnerable journey of grief and healing from an illness that almost took her life. She noticed that she was caught in a wave of intense and messy feelings at the beginning of the pandemic that triggered old trauma and loss. Ashley decided to do something about this, and after an intuitive life coach session with yours truly, she realized that what wanted to be birthed was a book to help others learn to feel and heal through their own authentic power. Ashley set out to interview some of the top healers, physicians, luminaries, and leaders to dive into how we can all move through this time of greater uncertainty and fear with a greater sense of hope and real tools to experience your authentic feelings come out stronger. Give Yourself Permission Ashley so poignantly shared that it will come out in other ways when you bury your trauma. This is what happened to her after years of people-pleasing, wearing a mask of 'everything is fine', hyper over achievement, and doing all the things to stay disconnected from her real feelings. On paper, it all looked good. Real good. Inside though, Ashley was a full-on disaster. She saw this play out in her workaholism, destructive relationship with alcohol and men, all while ignoring her feelings and trying her best to keep up with the world. Ashley Bernardi did this until her life came tumbling down after experiencing another double trauma --- being diagnosed with a mysterious illness, soon realized was Lyme disease and postpartum depression. Her body felt like it was shutting down, between losing control of her bowels, losing too much weight, not digesting food, dizziness, feeling like she had the flu, and no control of her body. Ashley cried out to God for help and surrendered at a level she had never experienced before. Although bedridden, after this deep surrender, Ashley began tuning into her feelings and soon noticed that she felt better. Healing was happening because she was processing her feelings, not avoiding them. This powerful lesson is much of what inspired Ashley to write the book, Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission To Feel to help others suffering from a lack of full permission to feel and express their emotions. How to Heal One of the key insights that Ashley Bernardi gleaned from this excruciating yet transformative experience was that there is no one-size-fits-all for healing. When you give yourself permission to feel, you tap into your own authentic power allowing for massive transformation. Her goal was to help others also going through challenging feelings to know it's ok to take off the mask of strength and feel whatever comes up. One of the best ways to dive headfirst into your feelings, which for many of us, can feel like saying I want to take a walk in a landmine, is to get curious. Use the blessing of curiosity, which is one of the key components to being a coach, and the coaching work Ashley did in the Life Designer® Coach Academy for coaching mastery, and look for the answers from within. Some of the questions to ask yourself are: Where is this emotion showing up in my body? And what might this feeling be telling me or showing me? Feel to Heal We also talked about Ashley's helpful FEEL framework, which she came up with organically when learning how to feel her emotions during her healing process. Here's the FEEL overview, which we hope will help you as you move th

Meet Tsipi Raz Tsipi Raz, researcher, screenwriter, editor, director, and producer of the film "The 1 Field". Tsipi, a graduate of the Film School, is a veteran editor and scriptwriter of films and series shown on television and in festivals worldwide. For 30 years, she edited about 50 documentaries for IBA (Israel Broadcasting Authority). You can find the film at www.the1field.com Tsipi recently produced and created an incredible film, The 1 Field, that interviews luminaries such as Dr. Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, Lynne McTaggart, Lee Carroll, and many others. I've interviewed all of them on this show, and I highly recommend any and all of their interviews as well. She spent ten years working on this film with the intention to show how we are all connected and part of a greater unified field. You will be swept away by the beautiful experiments and results shown in the film, making a case for a greater unity consciousness amongst humanity. Her NDE (Near Death Experience) Tsipi Raz shares that she has always been a realist until her life changed in her early 30's after experiencing an intense NDE. She had fallen asleep next to her young daughter only to find herself floating at the top of the ceiling while watching her sleeping body on the bed. She could feel herself drift to the sky and then a beautiful light that made her feel like she was going home. Somehow she reconnected back to her body and forgot about the experience until reminded a few days later and a week after this encounter when her brother suddenly passed without a health issue or illness. This near-death experience cracked open her consciousness and ability to see, hear and feel with greater psychic awareness. This led to Tsipi's desire to see the hand of the divine and ultimately move from covering wars and destruction to creating a film that makes a case for our unity and healing abilities. This NDE was a catalyst for one of the many signs from the Universe leading her towards her life's mission. Signs from the Universe During the long ten years of running out of funding and wondering how she would produce such an extensive film to be shot and filmed all over the world, she saw many signs from the Universe that kept her hope and determination alive. Tsipi Raz shares how the name of the movie was a sign in itself. You'll want to hear the story for yourself, but her explanation of using the name, The 1 Field, was certainly divinely inspired. There are constant signs from the Universe happening around us, and it's up to each of us to pay attention and follow the divine bread crumbs. The Big Vision The big vision for this film was to go from thinking and filming war, duality, and conflict to bringing about peace and uniting humanity. Tsipi does this through powerful experiments showing the healing effects of music and sound on blood and the energy shifts that occur when others tap into their heart energy. This film will certainly inspire you to follow your own big vision and remember that we are all connected. Final Thoughts While Tsipi Raz had a near-death experience to bring her closer to her life purpose, not everyone needs such extreme measures. She explains how there are always signs from the Universe gently guiding us along our path if only we are open to seeing them and willing to accept their guidance as truth.

Julie has been featured in Forbes magazine, MindBodyGreen, The Chopra Center, and Thrive Global. She is also a prominent teacher and guide on the popular app Insight Timer and is on the faculty at Georgetown University in their coaching program. To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. I'm thrilled you're here. I think of you as a friend, whether we've met yet or not. I have loved recording these solo episodes over the past year. I hope they add value, meaning, and impact in your life and remind you that you are definitely not alone in overcoming inner struggles and challenges on the journey of being your You-est You. If you're listening to this episode, my hunch is that you might be curious to learn more about how to find your purpose. In this solo episode, I chose to tap into faith and divine guidance by picking three You-est You declaration cards. I hope this conversation resonates at the deepest level. The Power of Joy The first card I pulled was Joy. Joy is incredibly undervalued. The vibration and energy of joy is similar to that of love, compassion, and peace. When you tap into joy, you connect to your spirit, that part of you that is in the flow and has the most positive energy connection. It's also easy to manifest when you are vibrating at joy. While most adults put it low on the priority list, joy is the elixir to feeling better and more aligned to the divine. For manifestation, joy needs to be prioritized; it needs to be put back at the top of your list. I know this is an area I'm working on, and I invite you to see how you can make more time for joy and happiness this holiday season and in the new year. If you are at a loss for what brings you joy, look to see what made you feel alive, lit up, and empowered when you were little, or think of a most recent situation when you lost all sense of time because you were so engaged in what you were doing, seeing or experiencing. These can lead us to the clues of what brings us joy. Another cousin to joy is gratitude. If you're really struggling with what you're finding joyful, look to see what you appreciate and naturally feel grateful for. Eventually, hanging in the land of gratitude will bring you to the land of joy. The Why of Your Purpose The second card I pulled was Purpose, and to me, the best way to find your purpose, which doesn't have to be one thing, especially for you multi-passionate and purposeful lightworkers and entrepreneurs, is to go to your WHY. Ask yourself first about what you feel passionate about and what you would get up in the middle of the night and do for free. That's a great indication of where your purpose will be. Then ask yourself, why is this topic or idea so important to you. Reflect, journal, and keep asking yourself "why," and follow up with "is there anything else" until there is nothing left to write. You can do this for all areas of your life; career, family, health, spiritual, and relationships. Ask yourself the deeper life coach questions like, "What feels important to me right now with my health, time with my family, my career, connecting to spirit, self-care and making time for friends, and why?" I'd love to hear what you come up with and would invite you to take note of your why and create why purpose statements that you can review daily. You might write them out, record yourself saying them and listen to them each day, or even create cards or a vision board with your purpose statements. You are allowed and encouraged to have more than one purpose. For example, your purpose might be to be a loving partner who communicates openly, directly, and kindly with your spouse, partner, or significant other. You might also decide that communication of all kinds is your purpose in your career, which could look like speaking up about inequality of pay for women, or sexism, or whatever topic you feel on fire about. There is no right or wrong way to do this; the only incorrect way is not to do it at all. The Abundance Equation The third card I chose was Abundance. I love these three cards because when you put them in this order; Joy, Purpose, and Abundance, you get an equation that I find to be spot on. The abundance manifestation equation is: Joy + Purpose = Abundance. What was serendipitous to me was that I wrote about this in my book, Get a Ph.D. in YOU, specifically in chapter 11, Purpose and Passion, and talked about this very equation. When you focus first on connecting to your higher self, your heart, and your joy, you naturally start to focus on ways to be

Meet Natalie Ledwell Dame Natalie Ledwell is a bestselling author, host of the podcast, Not Over, Just Different, co-host of the cable TV show WAKE UP, and founder of Mind Movies, the hugely successful and revolutionary online Personal Development company that has reached over 5.8 million people worldwide. Right now, she has launched her brand new groundbreaking Social and Emotional Learning curriculum entitled "Personal Growth Studies" into schools here in the US. Which is designed to empower youth from ages 5-18 years to live fulfilling and successful lives with high self-esteem and a vision for a bright future. In October 2018, Natalie traveled to Liberia. She met with government officials and launched Personal Growth Studies into several schools, which is now in its second year, working with over 1000 students. In 2020, Natalie had the immense honor of being Knighted by the Orthodox Order of St John, a humanitarian group recognizing individuals who are doing great work and have a big vision of the work they want to complete in the world helping others. You Do Not Need to Know How You'll Manifest Your Desires I loved this conversation with Natalie Ledwell so much, in part because Natalie is so the real deal, and it's incredible to hear how the universe has worked its magic through her, highlighted by her huge impact and beautiful success. She got the idea to create Mind Movies in 2008 after watching The Secret and realized that you do NOT need to know the HOW in the manifestation process in setting big goals and manifesting your desires. She and her husband paid for a high-end mastermind with some of the leading digital marketing experts and threw themselves into the world of internet marketing, sales, and other programs. Natalie attributes surrounding herself with the best people in the world as one of the most critical factors of their success. Become the Person You Envision in Your Greatest Future I loved this quote from our conversation; Natalie said she "had to change who she's being to be the person who fits in a new capacity and is friends with some of the most well-known leaders in the personal growth industry." My takeaway is that when it comes to manifesting your desires you must step into the leader you need to be to match the emerging version of yourself. This is exactly what Natalie did, and today she has become friends and works with leaders like Tony Robbins, Brian Tracey, Bob Proctor, John Assaraf, and Dr. Joe Dispenza. Spiritual Practices + Daily Habits I always love to ask successful entrepreneurs like Natalie (whom I'd refer to also as a lightworker) how they stay spiritually aligned and connected to their purpose and heart. Natalie Ledwell shared that she has a few things she does every day to stay spiritually connected. She meditates every day, either to Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations or in complete silence. She makes tea (magic hour tea, to be exact) and sips it on the balcony every morning, slowing down and tapping into her senses, noticing what she sees, hears, feels, and experiences in real-time. This morning moment of pausing allows Natalie to create space for communing with the divine. She always exercises, usually a walk with an audiobook or something inspirational to listen to, and ends with moments of gratitude. I loved her reminder about gratitude and that whether you journal about it, think about it or verbalize it, it's not about the action and is all about the emotion. Most importantly, Natalie reminds us that you want to feel gratitude. Manifestation Ingredients The goal is to leverage the universal entity of power greater than ourselves to manifest our deepest desires. The two most important ingredients in doing this are expectation and belief. Our emotions are what we emit to the universe. Thus maintaining high-frequency emotions like joy, gratitude, and pride, are essential for manifesting your desires. Natalie Ledwell has lived the Law of Attraction in her own life going from growing up in the countryside in Australia as one of eight children, experiencing quite a bit of lack, to running fitness facilities to eventually creating a powerful product that has touched the lives of 6 million people (and growing). She went from struggling to being in the flow. It's crucial to visualize your future, being grateful and expecting and knowing it's already here. What I loved most was that poignant reminder that this is for all of us. Final Thoughts Natalie Ledwell is well versed in the power of manifestation. It plays an enormous role in her business, Mind Movies, and in her everyday life. Manifesting your desires is something she wants for each and every one of us. Natalie reminds us that anyone can do this. Anyone can manifest what they desire. And, there is always enough for everyone.

Meet Lee Carroll Since 1989, Lee Carroll has brought the loving messages of Kryon to the world. Lee Carroll is the author of fourteen Kryon books and co-author of The Indigo Children, An Indigo Celebration, and The Indigo Children Ten Years Later, for a total of 17 books. These Indigo books introduced the world to the term Indigo Children in 2000, spawning many follow-up books by various authors, a movie, a documentary, and lots of interest worldwide regarding our changing kids. The Indigo books have sold almost half a million copies worldwide in 24 languages. During a trip to McCaysville, Georgia, at Delphi Metaphysical University in 2012, Lee was surprised with an honorary doctorate of Science, Transpersonal Psychology; Metaphysics. The award indicated: For his extraordinary contributions of love, wisdom, and spiritual understanding. Lee was most recently in the film, The 1 Field, all about consciousness and the power of the quantum field. Lee has been named one of the 100 most spiritually influential living people by the prestigious WATKINS; Mind, Body, Spirit magazine for four consecutive years. I have been listening to and resonating with Lee Carroll's work connecting with and channeling Kryon for the last few years. Since day one, I found something about the teachings and messages from Lee and Kryon that are deeply moving and feel full of truth, heart, and super high consciousness. We discussed the Law of Attraction, raising your consciousness and how, what looks like a world mess was actually predicted by the Mayans thousands of years ago and is more positive than you might think. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did! Meeting Kryon-An Uncommon Path Lee Carroll is an engineer with a very linear and scientific mind. The last thing he wanted to do was channel information. About 30 or so years ago, Lee was told by a channeler that there was a magnetic master named Kryon trying to connect with him. He brushed it aside until a year or so later, a different medium said the same thing. Lee decided to give it a shot and sat in a chair by himself to give Kryon a chance to make contact. What ensued was beyond what he expected --- he was filled with such love, an intensity of love he had never felt before. He wept and decided to keep tuning in. I love what Lee said about this encounter, "Spirit gives us the chance to look as Spirit knows who we are." At the time, he couldn't understand what was happening but knew it was real. Moving forward with this gift of connection to Kryon posed an existential question for Lee, as he faced a fear of moving into a life that could leave him without his friends, wife, work, etc. In the face of this fear, he heard Spirit say to him, "Do you really want to know me?" It was in that question that Lee decided to follow this deeply wise high consciousness. In saying yes, he has seen more miracles than he ever imagined possible. We talked about the Law of Attraction, the power of energy, raising your consciousness, and the infinite power of Spirit. Spirit Is Bigger Than Anything Else So many of us were primed to think we need a conduit to connect to Spirit or that we have to do certain things to be worthy or deserving of this pure love. It's time to get out of the fear box. Spirit is bigger than anything else. Period. We were born to find our creator. We are multi-dimensional beings with consciousness potential to change matter. The question to ask yourself is, "What if all God wants for us is to find the love, paste it in ourselves and live it?" This concept resonated deeply with me, and I'd invite you, my friend, to see if it's possible to imagine a higher power that is truly all-loving, no strings attached. We're often so linear in how we think, whereas the love of Spirit flows in a non-linear way. It's All About Raising Your Consciousness Everything we're experiencing today is right on schedule. The Mayans predicted this global shift happening in 2012, thousands of years ago. We are in a literal wobble in the earth, and remember that we are connected energetically to all. Since 2012, there has been an explosion of consciousness. Lee shared that the Light is winning! We as a human species are starting to see things differently. You can see this with the Me Too movement moving the women's movement closer to equality or with a new Pope. He took over a living Pope, which has never happened, and he is exposing the horrendous trauma of priests abusing children. Even Covid, which put us all in our homes, made us stop and slow down. We had a war without a war because, like past wars, everything stopped. We talked about raising your consciousness, as this is the portal to shifting the evolution of humanity and our planet. Here are some of the ways Lee mentioned to raising your consciousness: Be informed and read about what's going on, but turn off the news! It is a highly sensationalized movie-like show that instigates fear. Raising your consciousness demands your meaning it

In this episode, he spoke on his course Radical Resilience and answered many of your questions (thank you, You-est You soul seekers for sending in your inquiries). I think you'll find this conversation extremely powerful, informative, hopeful, and empowering about your innate human design and ways to reclaim your sovereignty and well-being. Gregg Braden has become a mentor, inspiration, friend, and someone who is steeped in science and the facts, yet is here to remind us that we are wired for health, well-being, goodness, kindness, and resilience. You might want to read that again. This is such hopeful and uplifting news. We all have incredible inner power and healing abilities. This is a time to go deep within and reconnect to our divine nature and inner workings. The Secret of a Long Life and Your Powerful Soft Technology You're going to love this way of looking at longevity. The research we do have is substantial in supporting the power of our mind, body, and the way we live our lives as it affects our health, vitality, and sense of youth. Gregg Braden shared the secret to a long life is to constantly go through a healing process. There are two ways we typically look at this: 1) traditional linear aging: this is where you are born with a certain amount of life force, and every day you lose some of that life force. In this model, we're conditioned to believe that aging equals deterioration, but it doesn't have to be that way at all. 2) Cyclic aging: you are always moving forward in chronological time and still reversing the aging process through lifestyle choices and factors, such as the way you treat your body, your mindset, what you envision, and how you're managing stress because of epigenetics (which has found that 99% of your health and well-being is dependent on lifestyle factors, with only 1% due to actual genetics). Epigenetics is excellent news, and when you manage your health through excellent nutrition, clean water, supplements, breath, movement, and mind the way you think, you can upgrade your biology and DNA. Our neurons in our brain respond to the image we see of ourselves. These neurochemicals match our picture, which hopefully reminds you of the power you have to envision yourself healthy, fit, full of vitality, and well. It All Comes Down to This Question I love Gregg Braden's teachings and work because of the greater positive forces surrounding us and our ability to tap into our own consciousness, heart intelligence, and field of intelligence to create the results we desire. The central question to really ask yourself is this; "Do you love yourself enough to allow this love to work in your life, to give yourself what you need and what is most loving?" In the end, it all comes down to love. This is an important question to ponder and can be used with any situation at any time. The litmus test becomes based on a loving framework where you are asking yourself what is most loving. The choice to take action is, of course, up to you. Your Innate Healing Abilities and Aging Gregg Braden shared about a nun he had met in Tibet who was extraordinarily wise with incredible energy. She looked like she could be in her 70's and still remembered events over a century ago. He later found out that this woman was 120 years old. Did she hold the secret to a long life? Her vitality had nothing to do with age and everything to do with the way she lived her life. In addition to neuroplasticity, which is the ability to fire and rew

Meet Susie Moore Susie Moore is the author of Let It Be Easy, Stop Checking Your Likes, and several other books. She is a former Silicon Valley sales director turned life coach and advice columnist. Her work has been featured on the Today show, Oprah, Business Insider, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Time, Inc, and Marie Claire. She lives in Miami with her husband Heath and her Yorkshire terrier, Coconut. Find out more about her work at www.Susie-Moore.com. Let it Be Easy Susie Moore shared such a powerful story about growing up in shelters and just wanting to create a life that someday would be easy. She envisioned a high-paying job with ease and comfort, which she later manifested while working in Silicon Valley, making 500K a year. The thing is, she didn't feel life was any easier or more joyful and realized something was missing. Susie moved on to become a coach and writer, soon realizing that finding joy, peace, and ease is about being in this moment and not projecting or focusing on life's circumstances. She explained that we are quick to judge, and we play out movies in our life that aren't real. This leads to upset and discord, and we become addicted to stress and future moments that never arrive. While we see stimuli always changing in our lives, the world we see on the outside mirrors the world on the inside. You've got to ask yourself, what am I allowing in versus resisting, and how can I let it be easy and move towards a state of joyful living. Ask Yourself These Questions We often don't realize that we are negative. Most people don't categorize themselves as being negative. Yet, in digging deeper, you'll find that many of your thoughts, beliefs, and comments are often coming from negativity or a place of lack. Here are the two questions to ask yourself that will change your perspective and help you see your life from a more positive lens. What's NOT going wrong? Apart from what I'm believing or the anxiety I might have of the future, is everything ok right now? We often feel a certain way because of what we're thinking; thus, the root to examine is our thoughts and what we're saying. One of the ways Susie Moore does this is through a process of disassociation. She might take something that could be upsetting or taken personally, like a negative comment about her video, and just bring it back to the basics by saying something like woman, words, computer. By doing this, you take out all the labels, meaning, and attachment and can just see what is actually happening. Don't let someone else's opinions determine your joy or emotions. Let it be easy by asking yourself these questions and looking at labels. We can then see what we're making everything mean. No illusion can withstand honest questioning. By stripping away the judgment and negativity, we simplify our states of being and return to joyful living. Susie's Heart Flare The biggest cause of suffering is thinking we're not enough, not worthy, or don't have enough. That feeling of lack is the quickest way to remove ourselves from a state of joyful living. Take a moment to put your hand on your heart and truly notice and appreciate that your sweet heart has not missed a single beat since you were born. This is direct proof of how loved you are. Practice this any time you feel disconnected. Don't forget to tap into this truth of how loved you are. The ending questions Susie Moore suggested asking yourself are: ' How can I let it be easy?' and 'What's essential here?' You are meant to experience ease, peace, and joy -you just have to remember that it's here anytime you choose to see it. Final Thoughts Susie Moore breaks it down quite simply in her book Let it be Easy. We are meant to exist in a state of joyful living. To do this, we have to stay true to our hearts, remove ourselves from a feeling of lack and negativity. With practice and a little direction, we can break free and live a stress-free life.

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. First off, there are no words to express my deep gratitude for you, dear You-est You listener and friend. I appreciate you listening and being a part of this powerful community committed to helping each of us step into our best selves. I'm committed to bringing the best of the best experts, luminaries, authors, healers, coaches, and speakers to shed light on how to fully be your truest self, your You-est You. May this episode with yours truly, help guide you out of the land of comparison and judgment and into the land of self-love, self-appreciation, and possibility. As always, thank you for sharing your feedback and insights with me. If moved to do so, please rate and leave a review wherever you listen to your podcasts. Your doing this helps to make this podcast more accessible and searchable to our global family. The 4 Step Process of How to Stop Comparing Yourself First, my friend, you must become aware that you are comparing yourself to others. To compare is to despair! Without awareness, you will not be able to make any kind of change. Acknowledge to yourself (and/or a trusted friend, coach, or confidant) that you are stuck in comparison. Realizing that this is just a thought and a state, not who you truly are, make a note that you are 'having a comparison thought' or a 'judging thought'. This helps you stay in the observer role and trains your mind to see this as an outside aspect of you. It's a reminder that you are NOT your thoughts. Get curious, and ask yourself what it is about this person or situation that might be hinting at your greater desire. For example, if you see a photo of a super fit person, perhaps you want to feel more energy and vitality. Go to the root of the emotion and ask yourself how you want to feel or what you really desire. Often we see someone else doing something we'd like to be doing or experiencing, and rather than seeing it as inspiring or empowering, we go to comparison and lack of self-worth. It's time to change this paradigm and flip the script through curiosity, powerful questions, and going deeper to see what you want to feel. What baby steps can you take towards how you want to feel or what you want to experience? For example, if you want to be more fit, rather than judging yourself come up with a very simple and easy-to-follow plan where you'll perhaps start moving every day for 25 minutes. Additionally, don't forget to acknowledge your inner value, divinity, gifts, and worthiness. This is crucial and necessary in learning how to truly love and accept yourself, exactly as you are. Reframe Comparison to Inspiration One of the best ways to reframe comparing yourself is to look and see how this person might be inspiring you. Please also remember that whatever you see in someone else lies within you. I love the phrase, "If you spot it, you've got it." I learned this early on in a 12 step program that deals with healing codependency, and I believe it's right on the mark. Let's use this in the most positive way. Whatever it is that has you feeling less than and comparing yourself to others gives you the gift of seeing that this too is possible for you. I know that feels much better to me when I realize that it's possible to impact millions, bless millions and make millions, as many of my beloved guests are doing. See how you can get inspired by those around you. The Power of Namaste Namaste in Sanskrit means 'greetings to you' and is typically used to salute the divine. In this way, as each of us is unique divine expressions, another interpretation is to salute the divinity in you. If you've heard this in a yoga class or mindfulness experience, you might recall the teacher bowing his/her/their head to you while saying Namaste at the end of class. It is about honoring your own light and divinity and seeing that in everyone else. This act of acknowledging your own unique divine spark, and that of others, is one of the most powerful ways of getting out of the comparison lane, stop passing judgment and become more accepting of yourself. Final Thoughts Learning how to stop comparing yourself and get out of the passing judgment energy is more simple than you'd believe once you become conscious of it. The first and most challenging ste

Meet John Lee Dumas John Lee Dumas is the founder and host of the award-winning podcast, Entrepreneurs On Fire. With over 100 million listens of his 3000+ episodes, JLD has turned Entrepreneurs On Fire into a media empire that generates over a million listens every month and 7-figures of net annual revenue 8-years in a row. His first traditionally published book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success, is the modern-day version of Think and Grow Rich with a revolutionary 17-step roadmap to financial freedom and fulfillment. Learn more at UncommonSuccessBook.com Reframing Perfectionism John Lee Dumas, aka JLD, had interviewed thousands of entrepreneurs who share their biggest mistakes and the gold that has helped them serve at a higher level, and well, bring in a lot more moolah. JLD shared that one of the biggest mistakes you can make as an entrepreneur is hiding behind the word perfectionist. He shared that he used to categorize himself as a perfectionist and then realized it was actually a way to stay small, even be a coward, as he said. It's time to reframe and look at being your best from a place of excellence but ditch perfectionism. It doesn't exist and will hold you back. There is always room for self-improvement; the key is to find it. The Ripple Effect I asked about John Lee Dumas' biggest why for what he does, and he explained that it's to create what he calls the ripple effect. By interviewing top entrepreneurs every day, he can share incredible wisdom and allow his growing audience to listen, be inspired, and learn any time they want. This plethora of knowledge and support causes the ripple effect of self-improvement by growth, support, and success. Be Proud of Saying No I loved John Lee Dumas' answer to the question I asked about his most proud accomplishment. He stated that he's most proud of saying no because you have more room to say yes to what you really align with when you say no. By saying yes, you are saying no to all else. Be wise with your yeses and nos. Final Thoughts John Lee Dumas helped us see how easy it is to grow and expand as a person when you view others with a lens set to learning. JLD went into his interviews to gain insight and knowledge, which is exactly what he did. Then he used that insight to improve characteristics about himself, and his listeners have done the same. If we all took the time to view life this way, the whole world and every person within it, we would be so much wiser for it. Be sure to look for a copy of his book The Common Path to Uncommon Success.

Meet Agapi Stassinopoulos Agapi Stassinopoulos is a best-selling author and speaker who inspires audiences around the world. In her previous book, Unbinding the Heart: A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity, and Unconditional Love, she shares the wisdom from her life's adventures and experiences. In her new book, Wake Up to the Joy of You: 52 Meditations and Practices for a Calmer, Happier Life, she takes readers on a journey and inspires them to let go of what doesn't work and instead create the lives they really want. Agapi was trained in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and then moved on to receive her master's degree in psychology from the University of Santa Monica. Her previous books on the Greek archetypes, Gods and Goddesses in Love and Conversations with the Goddesses, were turned into PBS specials. She is currently conducting workshops for Thrive Global, a company founded by her sister, Arianna Huffington, to help change how we work and live. Agapi has spoken and conducted meditations at many organizations and companies, including L'Oreal, Accenture, SAP, LinkedIn, Pandora, Google, Nike, Weight Watchers, PepsiCo, Starbucks, Global Citizen Company, Museum of Modern Art, ABC Carpet & Home, Women's Health Magazine, Paul Mitchell, NYU, Gympass, and Hearst Communications amongst many others. She brings home the importance of self-care, practicing gratitude, generosity, and self-love to enhance performance and productivity so we can experience happiness and fulfillment. She divides her time between New York and Los Angeles and was born and raised in Athens, Greece. You can find Agapi at www.WakeUptotheJoyofYou.com Dual Citizenship: Being Part Human and Part Divine I loved this conversation with Agapi Stassinopolous. It was all about how to really show up in life, both in our humanity and in owning our divinity. I know I've struggled with this before, and we discussed how feelings like resentment, jealousy, anger, frustration, sadness, and disappointment can cause feelings of "I shouldn't be experiencing this now; I'm a spiritual being." The truth is we can't spiritually bypass our feelings and having all emotions is part of the human experience. The best remedy is compassion and kindness. Befriend your little girl, or little boy, that still lives within you and see what they might need to feel safe, heard, and listened to. As a spiritual being, the aim is to stay open-hearted to endure and experience all emotions and the bliss of presence. Agapi Stassinopoulos shared a way to handle challenging feelings; open your heart to the moment, breathe out and remember that right at this moment, you are being breathed in by the divine. In your breath are kindness, compassion, and comfort. That is the essence of existing as a spiritual being on this big blue marble. Wake Up Your Joy We often have a hard time receiving, especially joy, because it seems selfish. This couldn't be farther from the truth. You have to go to places of discomfort and vulnerability to honor and love all parts of who you are. Who you are is a soul in a body. The essence within you is to be awakened and called forward. Joy is one of the purest ways to connect to your highest essence. Remember, waking up to joy is a process. Living in joy is another way to express yourself as a spiritual being. You don't have to bypass all your negative feelings, but be open to all the small moments of joy as they present themselves to you, and you will begin to find more moments exist than you previously noted. Kindness Is The Way I love that Agapi said it is time to start romancing ourselves and do things that bring us joy and inner peace. Make your ego your ally and not your enemy. Claim your inner knowing and follow it with focus, faith, and trust. Through kindness, not through shaming ourselves, we can feel a greater divine spirit navigating and breathing us through our challenges. Slow down and notice the gaze of God, the divine presence that is always with you and shows up through kindness and compassion. Final Thoughts Agapi Stassinopoulos was such a light and gave a lot of food for thought on how to awaken ourself to living as a spiritual being while acknowledging our human selves. It's important to note that while feeling our humanness is part of our journey here, we are also meant to recognize the joy we are blessed with. Stopping to observe the joyful moments, from tiny to more significant expressions, allow us to rise more fully into our spiritual beings, rising up into the higher vibration of joy.

Meet Aaron Abke & Other Guests Aaron Abke was born and raised as a Pastor's Son in the Silicon Valley of California. At 27 years old, Aaron had a dramatic spiritual awakening that changed the course of his life. He was working as a signed Fitness Model in San Francisco and competing at the National level in men's bodybuilding. He completely walked out of his former life to dedicate his life to seeking how to return to that state of Self-Realization permanently. Aaron's passion is teaching Unity Consciousness and Spiritual Awakening with the world, he does so today via YouTube, Social Media, MasterClasses and Workshops, primarily teaching through texts such as "A Course In Miracles" and "The Law of One". Aaron Abke believes that Unity Consciousness and freedom from the Ego is the next evolutionary leap for mankind and is available for anyone who truly desires it. I am also joined today by some amazing soul seekers who are part of the Impacting Millions program with Selena Soo - quick intros. Gina Casbarro is a Life Designer® coach and Feng Shui consultant on a year-long road trip following her spark and connecting with others who are doing the same. Jill is a school teacher who has just finished writing her memoir, "When the Apple Falls Far from the Tree," and hopes to use her diverse life lessons to inspire others to step out of victimhood and personal growth. Dr. Priti Chandran is a Life Designer® transformation coach with a past career as a dentist, helping women heal their cultural pain to transform themselves grounded in unconditional love and release their children from inheriting unhealthy generational chains that are based in fear. Gabe Pickus is the co-founder of Indigo, an outdoor learning program for children, and is eager to help teach children, parents, and teachers how to lean on ancient wisdom, earth elements, and nature for greater guidance and learning. We covered so much ground in this conversation. I've tried to outline some of the main points and encourage you also to review the transcription if interested on my podcast page: juliereisler.com/podcast. This was such a powerful and intensive discussion that I hope sparks more awareness and higher consciousness within you, dear soul seeker. Your Purpose is Your Passion Aaron Abke stresses that your purpose is your passion. Your ego has no passion. Follow your passion, which will lead you to the many ways to share your purpose with the world and then allow love to infuse it all. Your passion will also lead to your authenticity, which opens the door to gifts you can't imagine. The ego doesn't live in authenticity. In order to follow your passion, you have to live in authenticity. There's no way for your finite mind to predict what the infinite has in store for you, so stay open to how you can be used to be of service. Remember, the Universe always has your back and is working for your highest good. There is no such thing as not being worthy; you are part of the Infinite Love. This shift in consciousness is all about taking the leap into a unity mindset, that we are all unique aspects of the one. How to Raise Your Consciousness The Universe is giving us opportunities to trust and surrender. You will know this by being viscerally aware and present of what's happening, right now, in the moment. We are in a wilderness season as we're making the shift in life and upgrading to a unity consciousness. You have to close a door before the next one can open. Aaron Abke shared his personal experience of leaving his own family's church community because it no longer felt aligned. We all often have so many limiting beliefs. The necessity is to be authentic, to radiate yourself regardless of the actions or beliefs of others. This is what Ra shares in the Law of One. What this radical authenticity calls for is radical compassion and love. There are many colliding beliefs on the planet right now. A way to handle this is to say to yourself and the other person you disagree with: "I see you, as a soul... it's ok to all have our beliefs." This is a practice of true self-love. Living in this state of encompassing love, the Law of One is just one way to raise your consciousness. The Ra Material is a marvelous channeled five-book series worth reading. Being the Light It's our job to be the light. We do this by being in the world, but not of the world. We have to build the new world now, not when the old world is obsolete. Together, as we evolve out of ego consciousness (3rd density) into unity consciousness (4th density), we are paving the way to the world we desire for ourselves, our children, and their children. This means remembering that all challenges are for your learning and that all is well. We are all infinite and unlimited. Tap into the healing energies of both the feminine, which is about absorbing, receiving and perceiving from the subconscious, and the masculine, which is about changing your thinking and turning off the faucet, so to speak of the belief

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. Hey soul family! I am so glad you are here with me. I loved recording this episode and sharing this special story with you, and I hope you enjoy it too. It's important to note that there is a lesson we can find in even the smallest of experiences. We just have to be open to them. The Turtle Story About 6 months before Covid invaded all of our lives, I had an experience that would change my life. I was making the half-hour trek into DC to take my kids to school, then back to head to the gym to begin my hectic day. As I'm driving down a busy four-lane highway, I see a turtle directly in my path and come to a screeching halt. Somehow, there is no one on either side of me. While I'm frantically trying to figure out what to do with this turtle before traffic comes along, a car stops on the other side of the road. A woman gets out of her vehicle, leaps over the median, grabs the turtle, and carries it to the other side. Dumbfounded, I asked her, "How did you know what to do?" She quickly explained she was a turtle expert. What were the chances of that? She told me how to handle the situation if it happened again. Much to my surprise, it did...only a few weeks later. I was able to take her advice and help the turtle to safety. Shortly afterward, while I was at a retreat, I found the little turtle that sits on my desk. He reminds me that being slow, steady, and mindful is what I should aim for with each and every day. Slow and Steady Getting into the mindset of the turtle, becoming mindful of living a slow and steady existence encompasses not only being kind and taking time to honor yourself but being with your emotions. It is essential to be with your physical body, as well as your mental, emotional and spiritual self. Just tuning in and being mindful of who you are at the core of your being. I know how busy everyone is with kids, partners, careers, but you have to take time either in the beginning or at the end of your day to be present. To make time for slow and steady energy and take a pace for grace. But for now, at this moment, stop and be mindful of how you can find your slow and steady. Your pace of grace. In what small way can you add this to your life? Being present in the midst of chaos? Tuning In To truly be present and find that pace for grace, you need to be mindful of your authentic energy and how you can work with your natural state. If you are a high-energy person, how can you make slow and steady work for you? You also have to create healthy connections with yourself. Reaching into emotions you might not want to feel. You can't bypass "negative" emotions simply because they aren't happy or high vibe thoughts. Be present with them. Connect to your authenticity. Final Thoughts I invite you to reflect on how you can better slow down, get into that mindful, slow, and steady turtle energy. How can you make your life more delicious by being mindful? Being present and living moment to moment and really savoring your life and enjoying life's little gems? Take a look and then implement that pace for grace today.

Meet Mel Robbins Mel Robbins is one of the leading voices in personal development and transformation and is an international bestselling author. Her work includes the global phenomenon The 5 Second Rule, the upcoming The High 5 Habit, four #1 bestselling audiobooks, the #1 podcast on Audible, as well as signature online courses that have changed the lives of more than half a million students worldwide. Her groundbreaking work on behavior change has been translated into 36 languages. It is used by healthcare professionals, veterans' organizations, and the world's leading brands to inspire people to be more confident, effective, and fulfilled. As one of the most widely booked and followed public speakers in the world, Mel Robbins coaches more than 60 million people online every month. Videos featuring her work have more than a billion views online, including her TEDx talk, one of the most popular. There's nothing Mel loves more than making a real difference in people's lives by teaching them to believe in themselves and inspiring them to take the actions that will change their lives. Mel Robbins lives in New England with her husband of 25 years and their three kids, but she is and will always be a Midwesterner at heart. High Five Yourself I fell in love with Mel Robbons' wit, wisdom, and realness. Mel's most recent book, The High Five Habit, launched in September 2021, took three years to write. The idea of high-fiving herself in the mirror came out of a moment of feeling despair, despondence, and just not her best. This powerful tool, which I've now been trying every morning (and ok, in the evenings too, because why not!?), is life-changing. It's so simple yet so darn powerful. The question to ask yourself is, 'What does the person in the mirror need from me today?' We're so programmed to ignore or criticize ourselves. When you start the high five process, expect that it could feel weird, you could burst into tears (pure emotional release), resist it, or even giggle back at yourself. We've bought into the fallacy that we must DO something to be worthy. This belief is utter B.S. When you stand in front of the mirror, you drag your past resistance and opinions of self regret. You're showing yourself a willingness to forgive yourself and see your humanity from a more positive, even divine lens. Getting to the heart of how we build ourselves up, starting with a high five can be found within the pages of The High Five Habit. 5-Day High Five Challenge The High Five Habit book is truly a movement to help you have your own back! Your life will high-five you back. Your inner critic will be silenced (um, yes, please!), and it will be replaced with a high five programming. The result for Mel Robbins and millions of others are having a profound sense of love, connection, and compassion for yourself. Mel has created a fantastic 5-Day High Five Challenge, which I'll certainly be doing. If you want to sign up, just go to 5-Day High Five Challenge to sign up now. More About Mel Robbins' Newest Book It's time to give yourself the celebration and support you deserve.

Meet Dr. Martha Beck Dr. Martha Beck is a New York Times bestselling author, life coach, and speaker. She holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and Oprah Winfrey has called her "one of the smartest women I know." Martha is a passionate and engaging teacher, known for her unique combination of science, humor, and spirituality. Her newest book, The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self, was an instant New York Times Best Seller. If you have not yet read Martha's book, The Way of Integrity, it's a must-read. We go deep into the power and meaning of integrity and the effects on our body, psyche, and mind when we are not living in integrity with our true self. Martha shares many exercises, tools, tips, and ways to find your truth, in addition to sharing her own incredibly moving and evocative story in how she personally excavated herself to discover she had been living much of her life out of alignment with her truest self. Integrity is very much connected to being and expressing your You-est You, which boils down to living in authenticity and following your inner teacher. I can't wait to share the highlights from our conversation! Here's to your journey to greater integrity, peace, and happiness. What is Integrity I love this quote from Dr. Martha Beck, "integrity is the cure for unhappiness." The word integrity comes from the root integre, which means intact. When we abandon our whole self, we split into parts of ourselves. This emotional split creates duplicity within our own sense of self and causes a feeling of separation from our true selves. This is the root of psychological pain. I see the You-est You as your true self, and as Martha shared, integrity is the essence of our inner teacher, our truest and highest self, our You-est You (or me-est me). Listening to your inner teacher is important, and this voice can only be found in the present moment. The present becomes a stretcher of grace, as Martha stated, and is where we will connect back with our core self. Understanding the meaning of integrity and allowing it to let your essence flow is what Dr. Martha Beck's book, The Way of Integrity, is all about. A Year of No Lies When we split from ourselves, what we really desire is wholeness. A way to commit to our true self is deciding that we will not tell any kind of lies . . . including white lies. Martha gave herself the challenge of one year of no lies, and you'll have to tune in, and read the book, to find out what unfolded. The meaning of integrity doesn't just apply to your interactions with others but how authentic you are with yourself. What is crucial is rewiring from cultural expectations to your truth. This takes courage and incredible strength, yet the result will be the sweetest freedom and sovereignty that only integrity and being fully truthful can bring. How To Live In Integrity When you are living in your truth, you will be brought into peace. The first step to living in integrity is to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Watch how this feels and how it might be challenging, especially for us recovering people-pleasers, and notice how your body loves the truth. The second step is to turn the light on your truth and see what is really going on. We'd never leave ourselves if we weren't afraid. Be gracious with yourself as you tell the truth. The third step is to calmly acknowledge what you're scared to look at. Sit with this fear and honor that it might not feel safe right now, but soothe and calm yourself that it's ok not to be ok. This will switch your brain and body from a fright/flight state of being to relax while in the presence of uncertainty. It's ok to be still and still be afraid. Allow yourself to be held in the stillness and know that you are ok even if you don't feel ok. What we're afraid of is losing a sense of control and self. In this process, you will rediscover your own divinity. The Force of Light and Your Truest Self Dr. Martha Beck explains in The Way of Integrity that we are all the same . . . we're meant to go from misery to our natural state of happiness. When imagination is connected to your truth, it creates your own personal heaven, and the force of light can flow through you. An offering that can help bring you back to a state of calm and your truest self is to relax yourself. Try this breathing exercise where you surrender on the inhale and say, "I surrender my resistance to everything being in the Universe in this instance," and allow on the exhale and say, "I breathe in and allow everything to be in the Universe exactly as it is in this instance." This will help you to tap into your natural flow and surrender to a greater divine force. Final Thoughts Dr. Martha Beck helps us understand the meaning of integrity and how we can not only understand it but align ourselves with it and live from a deeper state of being. This deeper state of living is what gives us the happiness and peace we all innately crave. You can find more information

Meet Rachel B. Lee Meet Rachel B. Lee, a fearless brand marketing ladyboss with over a decade of experience leading major brand and marketing strategies for Unilever, Microsoft, Gartner, and more. After receiving her MBA from the University of Texas, Austin, McCombs School of Business in 2016, she entered the technology industry at Microsoft. Rachel achieved over a billion impressions in 2017 as the social lead for Microsoft Inspire. Most recently, she led the brand and marketing strategy for Software Advice as a Gartner Sr., Brand Manager. This $50M revenue business helps small businesses find software and Rachel completely reinvented the brand identity and go-to market strategy. Now, she is Co-Owner and CMO at StandOut Authority, helping people define their personal brands, create influence, grow opportunities and build long-lasting human relationships on LinkedIn. You will come away from this conversation empowered, inspired, and ready to dust off your courageous cape. I saw the transformation that Rachel went through over the past year of realizing that being in a job that was 'fine' was not good enough. She opens up about the real-life stressors of leaving her esteemed job, including the physical ramifications of being an overachiever, and shares her courageous story of becoming a woman entrepreneur, or as we like to call her, a powerhouse ladyboss. Designing your own path Rachel B. Lee, one of my beloved coaching clients, is one of the more genuine and big-hearted women I know. She knew deep down she had a bigger purpose-to use her strengths, gifts, and genius talents at personal branding to support entrepreneurs who are eager to get their message and values to the world. Rather than follow a path that was laid out for her, she decided to design her own path. This was not easy, and it didn't happen overnight. We spoke vulnerably about what it takes to make the big shift to becoming an entrepreneur, as well as to redefine success and achievement. Rachel shares openly about her own physical health struggles, which are connected to the incredible stress she dealt with over the past year and from constantly being in an over-achievement mode. She talked about having to reprogram her concept of success, which now means more time to be present, mindful, healthy, and grateful. The Litmus Test Rachel tapped into her own truth and took a hard look at her job and her desires. She liked it but certainly didn't love it. She asked herself; how do I want to feel? She journaled and did a lot of inner work, realizing that she didn't want to stay in a safe, secure, and even lucrative job that didn't fulfill her at the heart and core of her being. She no longer wanted to spend all hours of the day working towards brand marketing and instead chose to build a personal brand around who she innately was. How to Authentically Stand Out Rachel B. Lee shares how, through personal branding and allowing the truth of yourself to shine through, you can truly stand out. This is her zone of excellence, mixing brand marketing with personal branding and finding the sweet spot. A place to start for all of my beloved entrepreneurial listeners out there is to get clear on the basic 4 elements of claiming your personal brand: your unique skills, audience, differentiation, and your passion. Final Thoughts Rachel B. Lee opens her heart to share with us how important it is to put personal branding over brand strategy. That we each have something special to bring to the table, our own bit of magic to sprinkle on all we do, if only we tune in and connect with that part of ourselves.

Julie is the host and founder of the You-est You Podcast, with over 230+ episodes, and is the founder of the School of Sacredology, a big-hearted community for individuals looking to live from their heart and soul and go from fear to faith.

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. I'm thrilled you're here. Whether I've met you or not, we are soul family. Connected as one. I love recording these solo episodes and sharing this time with you. I hope you enjoy them too. If you listen to this episode, my guess is that you are doing a little soul searching. Maybe you know what you are searching for, or perhaps it is a feeling you have that something just isn't quite right, and there is a need to fill the void. In this episode, I talk about how to find and follow your North Star. I hope that this information is helpful for you and that it opens a doorway to amazing opportunities. What Is Your North Star To follow your North Star, you have to understand what it is and be able to find it. You have to know why it's important to be your most authentic self moment to moment. To be able to process what it is your heart desires and share who your You-est You is with yourself and the world. This means sharing your talents and your purpose with the world and letting your most authentic essence shine brightly upon everyone you meet. Your North Star is the inner compass that allows you to find what all those things are. Getting the Lay of the Land There came the point in my life when I realized I didn't just want "fine and good". That wasn't what I came to this planet to express. I came here to be amazing in my own way, just as you came here to be amazing in your own way too. But first, if you don't know how to express your fabulousness, you have to know where you stand, get the lay of the land. I have a tool, The Wellbeing Wheel, in the back of my Get a Ph.D. in You book. It can help you get a deep sense of where you are right now and where you need some support. You use The Wellbeing Wheel to assess different areas of your life, such as finances, family, health, spirituality, and see where you need the most help. Once you have the area in mind, perform the exercise as outlined in the episode to tune into how you want to feel when you get that aspect of your life just how you want it. Final Thoughts Once you do the exercise and connect to the feeling, you can truly tap into your North Star and follow where it leads you. It will always lead you to your best and highest good. Practice rehearsing your sacred feelings and give yourself time to reflect on them, journal about it or discuss it with others in the You-est You Facebook group. Allow yourself to be guided by your inner light. I'd love to know what you experienced and got from this episode.

Meet Jennifer Conroy Jennifer Conroy is a certified Life Designer® coach with a specialty in net worth and worthiness, a CPA with 20 years of experience in the financial world, and is now serving highly ambitious women who want to get their financial health back in shape. We had such an honest and powerful conversation about Jen's inner journey with worthiness (or lack thereof) and how that impacted her sense of worth and way of handling money. I gratefully got to watch Jen use her coaching skills and create her business through much time, commitment, dedication, and passion for helping women thrive. Jen is a graduate of my Life Designer® coaching program and Monetize Your Purpose program, and I'm so eager to share her brilliance and wisdom around how to tap into your true worthiness and increase your financial health, wealth, and sense of self. Say Yes To Yourself Jennifer Conroy suffered from her own inner bully (oh, I can relate to this one) and never felt good enough. She constantly put herself down and ended up getting into a relationship with an older man in high school, who gave her the external validation she was craving instead of building her own self-worth. Jen realized within her own inner knowing that this was a wrong decision but ignored her intuition and ended up in a bad relationship. After a lot of heartache and dysfunction, she learned later in life to say yes to herself. Finding Your Purpose This saying yes to yourself showed up again recently as she realized that while she liked her job as a CPA and working in the financial realm, it was not feeding her soul. After becoming a Life Design coach, Jennifer Conroy could see the transformation within herself and those she coached. She realized that, like all of us, we are worthy, valuable and overcame her scarcity mindset to leap and trust the net would appear as she started her own coaching practice. This realization has proven true for her and all those she is here to serve around healing money and worthiness wounds. We got into depth about how to do this and how Jen learned to change her inner beliefs and story. Jennifer Conroy knew there was a happy medium between her old job and her new purpose that if she could help women improve their self-worth, they could improve their net worth. Self-Worth to Networth A few key takeaways from our conversation: Know and understand your story (or earliest memory) around money Ask yourself, 'Where does that story serve you, or not?' Budgeting beliefs: look at how you feel about budgeting. A budget is meant for you to spend money on what you love to experience. It's not about limiting yourself. Understand you are inherently worthy of love, kindness, and money. You are worthy because you were born. When in doubt, pause, slow down and take time to listen to your inner wisdom. We're all on a journey of deeper self-connection and worthiness. Final Thoughts In this episode, Jennifer Conroy helped us see that building your self-worth can also help build your net worth but not judge yourself if your net worth is less than you desire. One of my favorite quotes from our talk was, "The worth in your wallet is not your worth." Powerfully said, and so true. Hoping this conversation helps to elevate your own inner worthiness and beliefs about yourself and money.

Meet Brianna Greenspan Brianna Greenspan has been using the power of positive affirmations for over a decade to overcome the physical challenges that being born with a chronic invisible illness brings about. Defying the logic of doctors and the temptation to be a victim, Brianna has dedicated her life to healing herself while empowering others to take ownership over their own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Brianna is the Co-Author of the bestselling book, The Miracle Morning: Art of Affirmations, A Positive Affirmations Coloring Book designed to combine affirmations with mindful artistry. "Visualize the success you are looking to create and use the affirmations within this book as inspiration along your journey." Brianna Greenspan is also a fierce chronic illness advocate, mentor for teens and young adults with chronic illnesses, and Genetics Consultant at Gene By Gene, a genetic testing company based in Houston, Texas. Brianna is a very dear friend and one of the most giving and kind woman leaders I know. She has stepped forward this year in a big way moderating a daily Miracle Morning in the new app, Clubhouse, and has made this work available to thousands of children, schools, and individuals in need. We had a genuine and raw conversation about why it's crucial to stop hiding and unmuting yourself so that you can shine brighter and make a more significant difference. We talked about the power of positive affirmations and their more profound meaning and how changing her own positive affirmations helped her heal and thrive with a devastating chronic illness. Read on to learn how you can step into your greatest power and light. The Power of Positive Affirmations Since the first grade, Brianna Greenspan had muted herself when dealing with the repercussions of having a chronic illness with awful side effects like throwing up often and being in a wheelchair. She never felt like she fit in and decided to mute her voice and her whole self until she realized that this impacted her whole body healing and ability to make a change in the world. She explains that affirmations aren't just what you tell yourself; they are also the labels others give you that you then take on as your own truth. When you say "I am," you are vocalizing to the world the labels put on your life. For example, Brianna was saying, "I am sick," because that's what Doctors told her, yet that perpetuated her belief in her sickness versus her ability to heal. Observe what you say to yourself. Positive affirmations are everywhere and affirm to the Universe what you are. You will create new neural pathways and will start believing and being the affirmation of "I am strong," "I am capable," and "I am courageous." Brianna Greenspan took a hard look at what she was saying to herself and realized she could decide how to define her life and use words that were for her highest good. Instead of saying the phrases "I can't, I won't, I'll never," which were ingrained in her head, she now says to herself, "I can, I will, I am." Stop Hiding Yourself It can feel very uncomfortable for many of us who are used to being in a supportive background role, but if you feel called to step forward, it means there's more for you to do and say. What helped Brianna do this was visualizing herself as a girl who loves to step forward and come out of hiding. The message came up for her, 'How can you expect others to unmute themself if you are muting yourself?' This is where powerful rituals like visualization or positive affirmations can help to change your behavior. The Miracle Morning: Art of Affirmations is a great and fun way to start shifting your beliefs. Commit to Doing Good In All Ways You Can Start listening to your inner wisdom and intuition and follow that guidance to do more good in your life and that of others. I love what Brianna said before we ended our conversation when I asked about her 'heart flare', a term I use to depict a deep heart's desire to share something not yet spoken. She said, "I try to do the good I can, in all the ways I can, as often as I can, in every way I can, each and every day." The world needs us to shine brighter now, more than ever. I hope this inspires you, as it has inspired me, to truly be as kind and good to myself, the world, and to as many as others as possible. Final Thoughts Brianna Greenspan reminds us that positive affirmations are out in the world waiting to be spoken. That finding these positive affirmations and bringing them into your existence helps you become powerful and capable. Don't forget to look for her book, The Miracle Morning: Art of Affirmations, A Positive Affirmations Coloring Book.

Meet Meg Boggs Meg Boggs is an author, athlete, mother, and self-empowerment advocate. From mental health to fitness inclusivity promoted alongside body-positive imagery, Meg continues to spark discourse about fat bodies and the experiences of plus-size women. Meg has been celebrated by CNN, The View, Good Morning America, People, Health Magazine, Shape, and PopSugar. Her debut book, Fitness for Every Body: Strong, Confident, and Empowered at Any Size, is out 4/27/2021. Becoming Who You Really Are Meg Boggs talked super openly about finally becoming the person she always was through a long journey of dealing with hurtful, unkind, and judgmental comments about her body and size. She explained that it took a lot of time to realize that she's not the problem and there's nothing to fix in being a plus-size woman. One of the pivotal moments for Meg Boggs was when Meg cut her hair, something she had always wanted to do but had heard she shouldn't given the shape and size of her face. Taking her freedom back and cutting her hair as she desired gave her the newfound freedom she had always been seeking. The same has come true for dressing in a way that feels best for her, be it cropped tops, wearing pink, and ditching heels. I LOVED Meg's genuine full self-expression to be herself, to feel free in how she lives her life, and in the self-empowerment messages she is sharing to let go of what others think. To follow your own inner guide and bliss. Finding Your Way to Self-Empowerment Much of Meg Bogg's story has been about owning her sovereignty. After years of being ridiculed and told what to do about her own plus-size body, she took self-empowerment seriously. Today, Meg is a badass role model for women of all sizes to love whatever body they are in. This is about making the shift from hiding and self-loathing to doing and being what you love and loving your whole self. Period. Self-Empowerment is the new sexy. Breaking Up With Dieting Meg Boggs realized that the freedom she sought came from breaking up with the diet culture and changing her story from weight loss to being strong, fit, healthy, and full of vitality. She was inspired by the power of intuitive eating, which is all about turning inward to ask your body what is most nourishing versus relying on sources outside of your own inner wisdom. This was a game-changer for Meg, and today she is trailblazing the way for millions of women around on how to stay fit, exercise, and make time for themselves, no matter what shape you're in or size you are. Meg is also about talking to kids about loving their bodies and sees this work as crucial, especially given she now has a three-year-old daughter, Maci, who looks up to her. Practicing self-empowerment is what helps her spread her message to love yourself whether you are a plus-size woman or not. Fitness For Every Body Meg Bogg's book Fitness for Every Body is meant to share both her story but also inspire you to start taking your own health and fitness seriously, to let go of any comparison or need to look a certain way, and to start appreciating your body as is, right now. One of the mantras Meg uses after every workout, walk, or physical activity is simple yet powerful. It is "Thank you, Body!". I recommend we all take this on and thank our bodies for all they have done on our behalf every darn day. Final Thoughts Learning to love yourself inside and out is the message Meg Boggs shared with us. It is through this acceptance that self-empowerment comes. It doesn't matter if you are a plus-size woman or small in stature; there is something for every woman in Fitness for Every Body. Pick up a copy of Meg Boggs's book today.

Meet Dr. Benjamin Hardy Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author of Willpower Doesn't Work and Personality Isn't Permanent. His new book, The Gap and the Gain, comes out in October with Hay House. His blogs have been read by over 100 million people and are featured on Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, Cheddar, Big Think, and many others. He is a regular contributor to Inc. and Psychology Today and from 2015-2018, he was the #1 writer in the world on Medium.com. He and his wife Lauren adopted three children through the foster system in February 2018 and, one month later, Lauren became pregnant with twins, who were born in December of 2018. Ok, ready to dive into the Gap and the Gain? Let's do this, my friend! What is the Gap? Dr. Benjamin Hardy explains that the gap is all about how you measure yourself and specifically measuring yourself against an ideal or something you wish were different. This kind of measuring always leads to unhappiness and, in psychology terms, is known as the hedonic treadmill. The gap is always about operating from a place of need, lack, or needing something else than what is in the moment. By default, when you're in the gap, you are out of the present moment. What is the Gain? With the gain, you no longer measure yourself against anything else. You measure yourself from your past by looking at the progress. You make yourself the measuring stick, not someone or something else. This is quite profound and powerful. Intrinsic motivation comes from this kind of frame. The gain is twofold: You can see your past from a positive lens and recognize the difference between your former and current self. You learn to see everything (you read that right) as a gain. We can train ourselves to see the gains through selective attention, and what you train yourself to see is what you'll want to start measuring. What you measure grows. The gap and the gain are a frame or perspective. You always have an opportunity to take ownership over your life, experiences, and how you view them. This will help you to become better, not bitter, as Dr. Benjamin Hardy said. How to stay in the Gain Here are some great ways to train your brain to stay in the gain: Pull out your journal and list 3 gains at the end of the day. You can also chart 3 wins you're expecting to get the next day. Find wins and gains in all things. Look out for the gains, even when you're in the gap. Write out all the ways you've grown, learned, and progressed over the past year. Do this as often as possible. Get ready to be wowed by and with yourself! Rather than measuring yourself against others, be inspired by them. I've personally found this to be very helpful when dealing with any kind of comparison or 'gap' issues. How to be Happy Happiness is truly about being in the here and now; otherwise, it's contingent on something else. Happiness is dependent on what and how you measure yourself! As Dr. Benjamin Hardy said, happiness is a one-player game where you're not worried about what others think. Final Thoughts As part of The Gap and Gains, we learn to start measuring ourselves against our own achievements. Where we are today versus where we've been. No one and nothing else matters when it comes to defining yourself. This retraining of your mind and habits can be practiced in the exercise above.

To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. Welcome to one of the kindest, most big-hearted, and loving communities around! I am so excited you're here with me. I have loved recording these solo episodes and am hoping they add value, meaning, and impact in your life, and remind you that you are definitely not alone in overcoming inner struggles and challenges on the journey of being your You-est You. If you're listening to this episode, my hunch is that you might have also struggled with self-bullying and being crappy to yourself. I share very openly and honestly my own challenges with healing past hurts and upsetting experiences that led me down a dark tunnel of attacking and bullying myself. I know that what happens on the inside, in our inner world, is always reflected in our outer world. If we want less upset and drama, we must do the inner work of healing and connecting with the parts of us that are still hurt. I share my own feel to heal process and that of the Inner Bonding workbook so that you can start feeling more grounded, healed, and aligned within yourself. I hope it resonates at the deepest level. Why We Bully Ourselves So often, we have buried trauma. Whether that is trauma with a big or little T, it doesn't matter. The trauma that happened in our childhood where we didn't properly heal because we didn't possess the emotional intelligence to cope with the situation is carried into our adulthood. It's not our fault. We just weren't taught how to deal with our emotions in a healthy way. Those same children grow up to be adults who don't understand how to digest our emotions properly. Instead of dealing with them, we stuff them or abandon ourselves, disconnecting from what needs healing. What we have learned is that this leads to physical illness and addiction. Instead of processing our feelings, we make ourselves sick or create unhealthy relationships with things like food, spending, or alcohol. And when we can't process our emotions but feel threatened, upset, or overwhelmed, we attack ourselves—faulting ourselves for not being more capable, not good enough. Stop Beating Yourself Up In this episode, I talk about how to go within and have a ritual for tuning into the hurt and pain and sitting with it so you can learn to stop beating yourself up. When fear sneaks up, making us feel lesser than, it often triggers a response from childhood when we felt not good enough or compared to things that made us feel lesser than. Judging ourselves for falling short was something we trained ourselves to do from a young age. But it is essential to feel it to heal it and doing the necessary inner work. So sitting with these feelings as they come up in the present day and taking a hard look at where you are trying to deny your emotions is essential. You need to tap into that aspect of yourself and honor that part to adapt your mindset. And when that is done, invite your Higher Power in to be with you. To give you strength, comfort and healing. Gratitude I love pulling cards from my You-est You deck and today's card was gratitude. This was perfect as I discussed how feeling gratitude for the lesson of the situation is part of the healing, how feeling gratitude for the experience and learning from the self-bullying so that you can move forward towards forgiveness and being more kind to yourself. Final Thoughts It is so important to stop beating yourself up. No one likes a bully, so it is crucial to do the work to end the self-bullying. If you wouldn't do it to someone else, it isn't right to do it to yourself. I touch more on self-bullying and imposter syndrome in the book I am currently working on, Who Does She Think She Is. I think you are going to love it. If you are interested in the You-est You deck, you can get the printed box of cards or pdf printable version at juliereisler.com/shop.

Meet Rob Wergin Rob Wergin has provided healing transformation to over 200,000 people in the last 18 years and has led large and small groups throughout the U.S. and Europe, including Agape International Spiritual Center, The Omega Institute, Mile High Church in Denver, and the 2019 Healing Kongress in Stuttgart. Rob is featured in the full-length film HEAL along with Deepak Chopra, Michael Beckwith, Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, and many others. At a young age, Rob realized he was able to heal animals and communicate with spirits. Not yet understanding these gifts, he learned to ignore them. Following 30 years in corporate America, Rob received what he now calls the "Ultimate Cosmic 2 x 4." In this time of despair, Rob asked for the purpose of his life, and the answer transformed him. Since then, Rob has dedicated his life to being a vessel for Divine love and light to benefit others. Raised in a strictly Christian home in the heart of South Dakota's rich Native American culture, Rob draws from both of these traditions and works with people of all spiritual persuasions on how to heal yourself. "Diseases, discomforts, and dysfunctions of the body are actually gifts," says Rob, "gifts created by our soul and by the Divine. They are powerful gifts packaged in ways we cannot ignore…and because we cannot ignore them, we are given the opportunity to do something about them." Trust Your Body Rob Wergin shared a very emotionally intense story about disengaging from his inner wisdom and intuitive gifts. He stopped paying attention or trusting his body, which led him into addiction, failed marriages, and deep depression. At 54, Rob decided to end the pain and despair and overdosed on drugs. He was at the beach when he had his life-changing encounter with the Divine. He was asked if he wanted to heal and help others heal. He said yes, and after sobbing and releasing years of grief, he turned around to see hundreds of light beings and angelic forms around him. He realized he wasn't alone and that the wisdom and intuition in his (and your) body is divinely connected that all you have to do is trust your body and tune into Divine Love. We can all tap back into it, and you can do that any time you choose to live with greater joy, connection, and love. This is an incredible gift to cherish every morning. Personally, I've been doing a personal practice where I welcome my 500 million new cells with love and joy (I picture them all in a light pink and gold color energy) and ask them to uplift and play with all of my other beloved cells, with love. It's been a game-changer for my morning wake-up routine. Unconditional Love Heals All What Rob Wergin has found over the past two decades of doing healings for thousands of people with various illnesses is that the true healing force is Divine Love and tapping into the energy of bliss. He reminded us that every morning our bodies welcome brand new 500 million healthy cells (you read that right) that can add full healing to the cells that are already in your body. What I love about Rob's view from being part of so many healings is the incredible message of hope that we have the ability, much more than we realize, to direct our cells to be vibrant, healthy and heal. You just need to welcome in Divine Love and trust your body. The Real Lesson One of my favorite aspects of our conversation was about the word 'Lesson'. He shared that his Divine healing guides shared in a personal connection that we as human beings get the meaning of lesson incorrectly. We do not have to hold on to a lesson for days, months, or years. Rather than seeing it as a heavy learning experience, take the words and look at the root: less on. You can decide that you came to this life to have a certain experience or illness, get your lesson and let it go immediately, thus creating less on you. I loved this reframe and encourage you to really dig into this idea of taking less on and moving forward with freedom and ease. Remember, the power of love is always encoded in healing. Final Thoughts Rob Wergin shares with us that unconditional love is at the root of how to heal yourself. Connecting with the Divine Love that each and every one of us has access to can help you learn to trust your body and connect with it on a deeper level than you ever have before. Learning the lesson from illness and pain can help you move into a healthier state of being. To learn more about Rob Wergin, watch him on the documentary Heal.

Meet Neale Donald Walsch Neale Donald Walsch has written 39 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life, including the 9-book Conversations with God series. His titles have been translated into 37 languages. His latest book is The God Solution, published in Dec. 2020, proposes an altered and totally non-traditional spiritual approach to ending the seemingly interminable struggles of our species. The God Solution 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. He may be reached at NealeDonaldWalsch.com The book opens with two questions: #1: If God exists, why is the world always in such a mess? #2: Does God play any role in creating—much less fixing—things on Earth? It then offers a hypothesis: Humanity simply hasn't found a way to deliberately and intentionally utilize God, this infinite intelligence, because while 8 out of 10 people believe there is a Higher Power, we haven't been able to come to an agreement about what God is, what God wants, and how God works in our lives. A New Definition of the Higher Power Calling this "the God dilemma," Neale Donald Walsch's book suggests that what is needed is a brand-new, much more accurate definition of the Higher Power. He then offers a striking description of how this fresh view of The Divine could dramatically improve lives, both individually and collectively. We discussed this new definition, which Neale Donald Walsh calls 'Pure Love,' and how he's finally figured out our soul's agenda and how we need to repurpose our divine connection. He defines Pure Love as loving purely, meaning God wants, needs, expects, and commands nothing in return for expressing all of it. This is a profound concept as it suggests that this infinite love is not based on our doing anything other than being aware of itself as pure love. The Soul's Agenda Neale Donald Walsch shares that the only thing that matters is completing the soul's agenda, which is an ineffable essence. The soul is here to make this divine connection, to express, experience, and demonstrate its true and complete agenda for its individuated divinity and greater love. We often have it backwards as the main human instinct is not survival; it's an expression of our divinity. We need to connect with Infinite Intelligence to make ourselves feel whole and complete. It is when this divine connection is missing that we feel lost and disconnected. Final Thoughts Neale Donald Walsch once again shows us that we can flourish as we live the human experience through our divine connection with God. It is a way to find our way back to our soul connection, and tuning into this Infinite Intelligence grounds us moving us toward love and out of fear-based living.

Meet Ainslie MacLeod Ainslie MacLeod is an internationally acclaimed past-life psychic, spiritual teacher, and award-winning author of The Instruction, The Transformation, and most recently, The Old Soul's Guidebook. Ainslie specializes in exploring past lives to reveal your life's purpose and has been a featured guest on Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations Series. He lives on a tranquil island in the Pacific Northwest. The Instruction has been one of my favorite books, one I've come back to many times, and has helped me better understand why some people crave a certain kind of rigidity, control, or safety in their life. What I've loved is that it's not about judging anyone or anything, yet rather, as Ainslie explains in his book and this conversation, it's about better knowing your own soul age and your soul's plan for this lifetime. If you're tuning in, we already established that you are most likely a pretty old soul. Anyone listening to this podcast would be, by definition, in the old soul category, as so much of my interviews are about connecting to your higher self and spiritual connection. This is a conversation most old souls are having...with one another and with oneself. Welcome, old soul, to this powerful convo that I hope will expand your thinking and way of being, especially right now. Are You An Old Soul In The Instruction, Ainslie MacLeod reviews the ten soul ages in great detail. In this talk, he explains that the first five soul levels are what he'd consider the 'young soul years', which is really about learning, lessons in building community, exploring, and typically are connected more to fear. After you cross over soul age 5, the soul levels of 6 - 10 are considered old souls and are all about learning how to live in love. By definition of old soul, they are tuned to introspection, spiritual connection, and working on self and creativity. The younger your soul age is, the more fear-based your life will be. The more lives you've lived, the more comfortable you are with soul-based living and experiencing uncertainty. Ainslie explains that we chose our personalities and life plan of who we are and why we're here, on the astral plane, before coming to earth. You might ask, what is the astral plane? He describes it as the nearest non-physical plane and dimension where the soul leaves the body or before it comes into a body. We live now on the physical plane, but we choose our life plan on the astral plane. Our spirit guardians also live in this astral plane. See below to learn more about the spirit world. Connecting to the Spirit World Think of the spirit world as your team of support, in the non-physical world, ready and eager to guide you 24/7. All you have to do is ask and, as Ainslie says, use them to support you on your journey. If you have a question for your spirit guide, it's helpful to verbalize it by writing it out to them. I've been doing this for years, and it is beyond powerful as it has helped me personally access greater wisdom beyond what my mind can come up with. We live lives that are so noisy, so you will need to bring in tranquility and a ritual of stillness to start bringing in the ability to hear and commune with the spirit world. The veil becomes thinner as you experience more lives, as the soul and conscious mind are fused. The Soul of our Country I found this answer to be fascinating and frankly rang true with my own soul and inner knowing. Ainslie MacLeod described our country (the US) as being the 5 soul age and level of consciousness, meaning we're still in a fear-based consciousness but moving to level 6, which is characteristically changing to an older soul experience of life. You could think of Fox News as the quintessential level 5. Typically younger souls are more conservative, and older souls tend to be more progressive. Countries that are considered older soul-based are the Scandanavian countries. They are the definition of old soul, where their focus is mainly on the good of the community and people, focusing on humanitarian service. The more fundamental-based countries would be younger soul-based. Be an Ambassador of Love In simple terms, we are all doing the best we can in our varying soul levels, wanting to experience and learn the fundamental lessons of peace, love, and truth. I use this affirmation every day, and Ainslie confirmed it for me when he said, in simple terms, declare that you are an ambassador of love. That is my hope for you and all of us, to embody this soul-based living, this ambassadorship of love, and peace, with ourselves and our soul brothers and sisters. Final Thoughts As part of The Old Soul's Guidebook, Ainslie MacLeod tells us how tapping into our old soul's experiences will lead to not only a more fulfilling life for ourselves but our country and planet. Soul-based living is, in essence, the definition of old soul. Stepping outside of fear-based living and tuning into the old soul aspect of who you truly are will help move the consci

She is also a prominent teacher and guide on the popular app Insight Timer and is on the faculty at Georgetown University in their coaching program. To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. I'm thrilled you're here, sweet friend. I love recording these solo episodes. I hope they add value, meaning, and impact in your life, and remind you that you are definitely not alone in overcoming inner struggles and challenges on the journey of being your You-est You. If you're listening to this episode, my hunch is that you might be curious to learn more about how to access or even trust your intuition. You see, I truly believe it's our superpower, often lying dormant, ready and wanting to be used. So, in this solo episode, I allowed myself the gift of leaning fully into my own inner wisdom to channel and share a message I hope resonates at the deepest level. 7 Chakra Meanings Get ready to go deep into your 7 Chakras (energy wheels) and learn how to use each chakra to bring greater awareness, wellbeing, and energy. I had a lot of fun recording this one, and as you'll hear, I let my You-est You declaration cards decide what our topic would be. Hint: I picked three cards, and you'll want to tune in to hear how all three play beautifully together in helping you to have your most grounded, connected, miraculous and joyful life. In case you need a very basic reminder, of the 7 chakra meanings, here is a quick breakdown of each chakra: Root: this chakra is the area of your legs and feet and is considered the root. The color associated is red, and this Chakra is all about feeling grounded, supported, safe, and having your basic needs taken care of. Sacral: this is the lower abdomen or womb area for women and is the deep connection to creativity, sensuality, sexuality, and birthing our best self. The color of the sacral is orange. Solar Plexus: this is the area near your belly button and mid stomach area and is all about connecting to your divine will, purpose, the soul's calling, and power (power with and power together, not power over). The color is yellow or gold. Heart: this chakra is the area in your chest by your heart and is all about opening your heart to greater compassion, unconditional love (for yourself first), passion, and living from your heart wisdom. The color associated with the heart is green, or pink. Throat: this is the area right at your throat and is all about speaking up, speaking out, and speaking your truth. The color is a deep, royal blue. Third Eye: this is the area right between your brows, connected to your 3rd eye, or 6th sense, and is about seeing beyond, seeing, trusting your intuition, inner wisdom, and greater visions. The color associated is indigo. Crown: this chakra is the area both at the top of your head and about 3 feet above it. It is connected to the cosmos and divine intelligence above and around us. The color is lavender or white. Tune in to the whole episode to learn more about the chakras and tuning into your intuition. Final Thoughts I've been asked quite a bit about where and how to get my You-est You declaration cards. They are excellent if you are looking to expand your own intuition and set powerful intentions and declarations every day. You can get the printed box of cards or pdf printable version at juliereisler.com/shop. I'd love to know what you experienced and got from this episode.

Philip is the only person in the world with a grounded theory PhD in Leadership & Synchronicity, and his book 9 Keys of Synchronicity will be published shortly. British by birth Philip has lived and worked in Asia for 32 years. Philip was also at one time a London taxi driver. As you might know, I'm obsessed with all things related to our intuition as well as serendipity and synchronicities. I heard Dr. Merry share about the Science of Synchronicity in the XChange leadership community and was blown away. I knew he would be a powerful guest, and am excited to share the highlights from our in-depth conversation. You can also find this episode on YouTube as well, and hoping you will share your thoughts on how this interview opened your own mind and heart. Let's start with the basic assumption and understanding that we live in a Quantum Field of magnetic energy. You and I are made up of energy and we all vibrate to different frequencies of energy. Dr. Merry gave the example of picturing a mobile phone in that just like a phone, your vibration will determine what comes in. Understanding this premise is helpful for setting the stage in how synchronicity works and knowing that the Quantum Field supports us. Here are some of the key elements from Dr. Merry's studies on synchronicity: The three pillars to synchronicity are mindset, the process of synchronicity and integrating synchronicity; all of the 9 keys fall into these three main sections. The first pillar is mindset and is about merging with the present moment and being where you are now, being open to source and believing that energy is bigger than you and lastly having a mindset open to possibility. This possibility mindset is about believing that the best things you desire are possible. The second pillar is all about looking for what's happening in your life that is out of the blue, celebrating it, noticing and recognizing that this is something to continue expecting. Intuition is natural and connected to synchronicity. Dr. Merry insists that we act upon our intuition and trust this energy system that gives us that 'knowing'. The third pillar of integrating synchronicity is about being of service to humanity, watching for and sharing your out of the blue experiences with others, be it in a leadership community, with family, friends and the world. Synchronicity for leadership integrates these 9 keys into leadership and teams. Thus, we then shift away from a Newtonian way (we're all separate) to the realization that we're all connected and part of a larger energetic system. Share your insights and stories of synchronicity in the You-est You Facebook Community for Soul Seekers and your miraculous out of the blue moments. As Dr. Merry said, the more we share our stories, the more synchronicity we will experience. Sacred Connection As always, this community is a sacred, safe place built on love and acceptance.

The Instagram Expert For all those of you entrepreneurial souls who might fear or even loathe Instagram, you are going to learn in this episode why it's an incredibly valuable tool and how it can help expand your reach and grow your Instagram following.

With over 130K followers and true fans on Instagram, she is here to share that you can do this at any age --- just make sure you are coming from authenticity and joy.

She has used this question of, 'what brings me joy?' over the past 30 years as she has built numerous 7 figure businesses doing what she loves. I have to say, I was so inspired by Sue and I think you will be too. Why Instagram is so Powerful Sue says to think of Instagram as a micro-website. It has a search engine, or SEO (search engine optimization), just like a website, and allows you to reach the masses, share offerings, and make a promise. She explains that the bio is where you make your promise, and it's important to create one where you are talking to your ideal person and putting in content that is relatable.

Zimmerman gave us an overview of the Five Neighborhoods of Instagram and it helped me so much. I'll be honest, while I know how to do the basic posting and a random story here and there, my relationship with Instagram has been kind of rocky. It's kind of been a bit of love and apathy. I learned from our conversation ways to make it a bit less intimidating and that much more fun, and dare I even say, joyful. If you have a business or even a side gig, I think it's worth it to tune in to the full episode. I'm certainly committing to being more connected to the genuine power of Instagram.

Meet Aaron Abke Aaron Abke was born and raised as a Pastor's Son in the Silicon Valley of California. He desired to work in Church Ministry like his father and went to college at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Music and Theology. He spent one year working as a full-time worship pastor at a church in San Jose until eventually, at 23, he felt called to leave his religion and pursue a deeper and more authentic spirituality. At 27 years old, Aaron Abke had a dramatic spiritual awakening that changed the course of his life. He was working as a signed Fitness Model in San Francisco and competing at the National level in men's bodybuilding at the time. He completely walked out of his former life to dedicate his life to seeking how to return to that state of Self-Realization permanently. Aaron's passion is teaching Unity Consciousness and Spiritual Awakening with the world, and he does so today via YouTube, Social Media, MasterClasses, and Workshops, primarily teaching through texts such as "A Course In Miracles" and "The Law of One". Aaron believes that Unity Consciousness and freedom from the Ego is the next evolutionary leap for mankind and is available for anyone who truly desires it. The Ego Wears Many Masks Aaron is an expert in 'A Course in Miracles' and talked a lot about the trappings of the ego. As he defined it, the ego is any time you are in the I, me, mine arena. It's our identity that we cling to; that isn't really who we are. Guilt is an anchor point of the ego, as is judgment. The ego is the mental activity of identifying with the function of the working mind. Identity and suffering is really the ego cracking the whip to carry out its orders. As 'A Course in Miracles' states, the ego is whatever is not Love. As a reference point, we talked about the basic understanding that we are Love and that all we truly are, is the witness. The spiritual ego, which takes on a different costume of sorts, is about I, me, shame, and judgment, often about others as it relates to spiritual matters. Forgiveness is the Way Forgiveness is a step-by-step destruction of the ego and allows for true oneness. Through forgiveness, we can heal by letting whatever is causing upset, to release. The important aspect is not to judge this and just to forgive. As is said in 'A Course in Miracles,' nothing real can be threatened. We're often equating ourselves with the unreal, believing things are real (which he calls transitory illusions), and you can't ever satisfy these identities. All identification is harmful, and what is needed is a shift in consciousness is going from judgment to discernment. Open-Hearted Freedom If you want true freedom, you need to come to the altar of life with broken-hearted humility and Love. In other words, whatever I love, I heal. Our goal and aim are to come with an open heart towards EVERYTHING. We're always becoming. Mother earth has offered us so many options to become love. Understanding we are one means you can't point fingers at others because you realize that you are the world. Don't look at others. It's our obligation to wake up and change ourselves and to become Love. Ideally, as many of the masters who have walked our earth have taught, judge nothing, and meet all with loving compassion and forgiveness. Final Thoughts Aaron Abke reminds us that the teachings in books such as 'Law of One' and 'A Course in Miracles' teach us how to separate ourselves from the ego and remind ourselves that we are one with all that is. Becoming conscious of these thoughts awakens us to new concepts to put into practice in our daily lives, helping us to live in the light of forgiveness and compassion.

Meet Gregg Braden Gregg Braden is a six-time New York Times best-selling author, researcher, educator, lecturer, and internationally renowned as a pioneer bridging modern science, spirituality, and human potential. From 1979 to 1991 Gregg worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies, including Cisco Systems where he became the first Technical Operations Manager in 1991. He continues problem-solving today as he merges modern science and the wisdom of our past to reveal real-world solutions to the issues that challenge our lives. His research has led to 15 film credits and 12 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages. Gregg is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and is active with visionary organizations including the HeartMath Global Coherence Initiative and The Arlington Institute. He has presented his discoveries in over 30 countries on six continents and has been invited to speak to The United Nations, Fortune 500 companies, and the U. S. military. The United Kingdom's Watkins Journal lists Gregg among the top 100 of "the world's most spiritually influential living people" for the 6th consecutive year, and he is a 2020 nominee for the prestigious Templeton Award, established to honor "outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality." This is the second time I was gratefully able to have Gregg Braden on as a guest. I highly recommend that you listen to our first conversation back in April 2020. Gregg has become a mentor, inspiration, friend, and someone who is steeped in science and the facts yet is here to remind us that we are wired for health, wellbeing, goodness, kindness, and resilience. I hope this conversation touching on the topics in his book The Divine Matrix both illuminates and reminds you of your own inner power and healing abilities. This is a time to go deep within and reconnect to our divine nature and inner workings. You Are Capable of Self-Healing The amazing Gregg Braden reminded us that while there is a battle of sorts playing out right now for our thoughts around our wellbeing (tune in to hear more), new science is giving way to a new story. I found this fact to be mind-blowing. Here are some amazing facts to consider: We are made of 50 trillion cells (that is a LOT of cells) There are .07 volts per cell (doesn't seem like a lot right now, but read on my friend) This equates to 3.5 trillion volts of electrical potential in our bodies! You read that right! Every cell releases photons of light, just like plants. We inherently possess a ton of inner energy and potential. We're often conditioned to think our body is weak but the good news is that we have the ability to self-regulate biologically through our breath, focus, movement, emotion, and language. We're a highly advanced soft technology, and we often forget this. Gregg has been studying both the wisdom and principles of Shamans, monks, indigenous elder tribe leaders, and many other beautiful practices from ancient civilizations. When you draw upon this knowledge and our inner power and electrical potential (literally), you realize that we're wired for wellbeing, health, and full healing. I found this information to be highly comforting and great news. Tuning Into The Divine Matrix It gets better...we know through quantum physics and much research that the Universe is alive, connected and intelligent, and one that likes us. The fundamental rule of nature is cooperation. Understanding that cooperation is how we are all intrinsically created has positive implications on what's possible for humanity. You can read much more about how all of this works in Gregg Braden's incredible bestselling book, The Divine Matrix. He shares that there's an emerging philosophy that shows consciousness informing itself through its creation. This is literally a world we can't see that exists in the field of potentiality, or the divine matrix. Gregg had recently connected with an indigenous elder and he was moved by this elder's observation that 'the people of the earth have become lost with their connection to the cosmos, spirit and earth.' Final Thoughts We're seeing a lot of fear play out right now, which can be experienced as hurt and expressed as hate. The question to look at is how might we arrive at values we can all share while having sovereignty over our thoughts and bodies. The better we know ourselves, the less we fear others and our own power. As we each tap into our own connection to ourselves, the earth, and humanity, we can begin to bring about a unified world. It begins with looking deep within ourselves and a little self-healing. To learn more, be sure to get Gregg Braden's book The Divine Matrix.

I have loved recording these solo episodes and am hoping they are adding value, meaning, and impact to your life. Reminding you that you are definitely not alone in overcoming inner struggles and challenges. If you're listening to this episode, my hunch is that either you or someone you love dearly has struggled with abandoning and attacking yourself. Here's the thing, sweet friend, this one has deep roots and can wreak way more havoc than realized, including your health and wellbeing. I share my story about how I believe my autoimmune condition is directly related to not speaking my voice for years. All of this stems from doing what I thought others wanted, attacking myself, and abandoning myself when I felt shame, upset, envy, or unworthy. We're going to talk about how to love yourself and being more kind through compassion. Tune in to hear ways to identify how you might be abandoning and attacking yourself, how to compassionately and lovingly stop doing it, and ways to come back home to greater alignment, kindness and respect for yourself. It's about how to love yourself and showing more of this love on a daily basis. As you learn to do this in a real and genuine way, you will have a greater capacity for forgiveness and understanding within yourself and with others. I have found this kind of deep inner child work to be groundbreaking and life-changing. I share some of my personal struggles and learnings, that I hope help you to make shifts and changes for your highest good. As always, take what you like and leave the rest.

Meet Spiritually Psyched Meet the brilliant and powerhouse women and founders of Spiritually Psyched, a collective with a powerful mission to help anyone suffering from trauma, addiction, or low self-esteem to reconnect to their soul through grounded psychological support and practical spirituality. Alissa Schwartz, Holistic Psychotherapist, Soul Coach, President & co-founder of The Holistic Center for Soulful Living, is also the visionary leader and executive director of the non-profit Soulful Living for Recovery 501(c)3. Alissa's life's work and passion is to help individuals, families & the greater community HEAL, raise awareness, educate and help others to evolve into their greatest potential using an integrative psycho-spiritual approach to care! Alissa works to bridge western medicine and eastern philosophy using an integrative approach to care! She believes in a balanced approach to healing and dreams of a world where medicine meets mindfulness and spirituality because THE BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE SOUL! Anna Miranda, a Psychic Medium, Interfaith Minister, and Hypnotist, began her spiritual journey at the age of 16 after a profound spiritual awakening and near-death experience. Since her experience, she has dedicated her life to the study of metaphysics. She is also the founder of The Miranda School of Intuitive Arts. Her school offers development classes and certifications in healing and intuitive arts. Anna serves as an intuitive guide by psychically tapping into your soul's imprint and vibrational resonance to help you become more aware that your soul is the divine student living in the earth school. Rhea Spina is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Reiki Master, and Spiritually Psyched co-founder. She incorporates complementary and alternative modalities of treatment to support overall awareness and wellbeing. Rhea brings conscious attention to our soul-based self through Reiki, Vibrational Sound Therapy, Drum Circles, and Psychoeducation. Rhea aims to empower individuals on their journey towards self-actualization. Soul family, you are going to feel like you were in a living room getting to listen in on a delicious conversation all about practical spirituality, how to tap into your soul and experience the full array of human emotions and experiences. I was joined by three new kindred sisters talking all about wanting to bridge the world of spirituality, mental health, and human consciousness. Get ready for an insightful convo! A Grounded View of Spirituality I talked with Alissa Schwartz, Rhea Spina, and Anna Miranda about the importance of making spirituality practical. Anna Miranda, a renowned psychic medium, shared the practices that help her stay grounded and spiritually connected, which are traditional mindfulness practices and prayer. She sees prayer as the biggest form of connection in action and takes time every morning to talk to her soul and a Higher Power. Prayer can be whatever you want it or make it to be. Spirituality should be an active part of our lives and something we participate in small ways regularly, and prayer is just one way to easily add it into your life. The Powerful Lessons from Addiction Alissa Schwartz had a beautiful take on defining addicts, which was that "addicts are frustrated mystics looking for spirit in the wrong places." In other words, addicts are often some of the most highly sensitive and spiritually connected individuals who are cut off from that connection due to blocking it with whatever addiction is prevalent. As was shared in this conversation, Anna also shared how addiction was the vehicle for her soul's purpose. Rhea explained that the real healing in addiction (or from any past trauma) comes when you can love the parts of yourself you wish you could change. It's about forgiving all of yourself first. Forgiveness is an empowering aspect of soulful living. How To Decipher Your Intuition The cornerstone of an intuitive knowing, download, or inner voice is that it will always be a subtle and calm voice that feels like pure truth. You will typically notice it in your body first. Intuition grows and is nurtured in stillness. Taking time for mindfulness practices and meditation will help cultivate fertile ground for you to hear, feel and decipher your intuition. Growing your intuition through meditation is a perfect means to practical spirituality and relaxing into soulful living. It covers so many bases, and the benefits are only positive. Raising The Vibe This point really stuck out to me; we all thrive when we're connected. It's time to connect more not only to ourselves but also to one another. Spiritually Psyched has launched their podcast, Spiritually Psyched, to help raise the vibration of the planet, connect more hearts and create space for others to feel safe, authentic, comfortable, and free. Alissa ended us on a beautiful note-that she hopes the 'mind, body, spirit' language is someday a language all of humanity is proficient in. Final Though

Meet Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor 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 nonfiction bestseller list and is still routinely the #1 book about stroke on Amazon. Dr. 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 Botle Taylor's latest book Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life is on sale now. This conversation, if it doesn't change your life, please let me know! I was enamored throughout the entire interview with what I learned about our brain, how it functions, and ways to better understand why there can be such discord and challenge within our own thinking and emotional systems. Dr. Jill explains your brain's anatomy in a new way and incorporates a brilliant way to dialogue with the four distinct aspects. You're going to want to read on. Grab a paper and pen, so you too can name your four characters. I've shared our names below. Get ready to have your mind glowin', as I like to say (because who the heck really wants their mind blown). Whole Brain Living Did you know that your left and right brain each have their own amygdala and hippocampi? In Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's book Whole Brain Living, she explains that these are the emotional centers responsible for feelings like anger, frustration, and connection. I had no idea that we have two of each and that each hemisphere has its own little team going on; the thinking tissue and the emotional tissue. You might wonder why this is interesting and how this affects your life; after talking to Dr. Jill, I realized that her research and work is both groundbreaking and crucial to better understanding our own development, way of processing life and emotional thinking, and how to better handle setbacks, anxiety, and tough situations. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's approach is one where we honor, acknowledge and tune into all four areas of our two hemispheres. This is what whole brain living is, and when you understand how powerful you are and the four characters are (see below), you will realize how much choice you have in creating a life that is fulfilling and truly connected to your deepest desires. I was blown away by this discussion, and I think you will be too. The Four Characters Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor has discovered what she calls the Four Characters. These are connected to the emotional and thinking tissue in our right and left hemispheres in our brain. I have outlined each of the four and invite you to give each character a name. Mine are listed below. The left thinking tissue in the left hemisphere - this is the rational thinking part that categorizes language, thinks through things quickly, likes to have control and be the boss, and is the typical 'Type A'. It does well with right and wrong, defines structure and details, and critically analyzes data. Both Dr. Jill and I call ours Helen. I chose Helen after my high school Journalism teacher, who was one of my best teachers and was a high Type A kind of person who was all about rational thinking and thinking critically and quickly. The emotional thinking tissue in the left hemisphere-is where we store emotions from the past and are connected to our limbic cells. The 2nd character is connected to what we know as the 'fight or flight' response and is the zone responsible for feelings and emotions like rage, self-loathing, and anger. Dr. Jill talks about having massive respect for this aspect of your brain as it is the part that clings to the sacred past and future. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor calls this Abby, in connection to the abandoning process when leaving her mother's womb (this will make sense if you listen to the episode), and I call mine Randi, as a metaphor for when I've run or 'ran' away from emotions in the past. The emotional thinking tissue in the right hemisphere - this is our sensory, emotional connection to the present moment. This is a very experiential part of us that wants to stay only in the present and is curious about present experiences like noticing how clothing feels, hearing the birds singing, feeling the sun on your face. This is the adrenaline junkie aspect that wants to experience a tribal, communal, and creative present experience without judgment. For this character, think of joyfu

Meet Barbara Huson Barbara Huson (previously known as Barbara Stanny) is the leading authority on women, wealth, and power. As a bestselling author, financial therapist, teacher & wealth coach, Barbara has helped millions take charge of their finances and their best lives. Barbara's background in business, her years as a journalist, her Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology, her extensive research, and her personal experience with money give her a unique perspective and makes her the foremost expert on empowering women to live up to their financial and personal potential. Barbara Huson has been featured on Good Morning America, The View, Extra, The O'Reilly Report, and many times on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, PBS, and NPR, as well as in the New York Times and USA Today. Barbara is the author of 7 books: Prince Charming Isn't Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money Secrets of Six-Figure Women: Surprising Strategies to up Your Earnings and Change Your Life Overcoming Underearning: A Five-Step Plan to a Richer Life Finding a Financial Advisor You Can Trust: A Guide for Investors and Those Who Want To Be Breaking Through: Getting Past the Stuck Points in Your Life Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Miracles, and Rewire for Wealth was just published in January 2021 Barbara Huson talks very openly both in this conversation and in her books about being in a financial fog for the first 45 years of her life. She adopted the belief through her family upbringing that she didn't have to deal with finances or money, only to find out that after her husband left her and the country, that she owed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her former husband was a stockbroker and also a compulsive gambler. Barbara has since learned that if you don't deal with your money, your money will deal with you and has gone on to teach thousands of women about how to create wealth, financial freedom, worthiness, and wellbeing. This was such a rich conversation and I'm excited for you to learn so much of what I've taken away from her many powerful books and teachings. The Secrets of Successful Women with High Earnings Barbara Huson explains how working with successful women who experience financial freedom still struggled with self-doubt. Proving that insecurities exist no matter how high up the ladder a woman may climb. The difference Barbara found is that each of these women felt the fear and did it anyway. They refused to let fear stand in their way of success, knowing that it was part of the equation. Barbara shares that the number one requirement for success and thriving financially is being willing to do what you fear. That is the big secret to financial freedom. The Power of Fear Barbara Huson has a take on fear that I think is incredibly empowering and true. In sum, it is to turn towards the fear and go there. Ask yourself, what are you most scared to do? That's the secret, that one little thing. Follow what scares you most. It is essential to have lots of support so that when that fear rises, and it will rise, you don't let it stop you, but be there to help you push through with your head held high. Overcoming Underearning In Barbara Huson's (previously Barbara Stanny) book Overcoming Underearning: A Five-Step Plan To A Richer Life, she defines underearning as when anyone who needs or desires to earn more but can't despite their best efforts. There isn't a specific number attached to underearning, as you could be underearning at 6-figures. It is reaching a point and being unable to break it no matter what you do. Maybe this is because you feel like what you are doing doesn't feed your soul. Instead, it deprives you of its true purpose, often having the quality of feeling a lack of money, time, and boundaries. Barbara explains how boundaries are crucial to set and should be based on a "hell yes"; otherwise, it's about having the courage to say no. Creating boundaries actually builds your self-esteem instead of encouraging self-doubt. She further explains in her book that problems with money are rarely about money and rather have everything to do with power. Barbara defines power from a new lens and explains that feminine power is about knowing who a woman is, knowing what she wants, and expressing that in the world unapologetically. The Addiction Many of Us Have There's an addiction that many of us have that keeps us from financial freedom-ATBS. ATBS stands for Addiction to Busyness Syndrome. This need to be busy keeps you from feeling inner pain and can be hard driving. It is the over "doing" that you numb yourself to what is really wanting to be birthed in your soul. The antidote is taking time to be, do nothing, and ultimately surrender to your soul's purpose. You must be willing to be quiet, to slow down and to stop the busyness and hear your soul's whisper. This allows the unfolding of your purpose, and from the purpose, your success. How To Find Sacred Success Barbara Huson's book Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Mira

The Trap of People Pleasing If you're listening to this episode, my hunch is that either you or someone you love dearly has struggled with people-pleasing. Here's the thing, my friend, this one has deep roots and can wreak way more havoc than realized. Tune in to hear ways to let go of people-pleasing so that you can bring greater alignment, kindness, and healthy boundaries into your life. I share some of my personal struggles and learnings that I hope help you to make shifts and changes for your highest good. As always, take what you like and leave the rest. The Question To Ask Yourself I have learned that one of my most stealth coping mechanisms since I was a little girl was to make sure I was doing, saying, and acting in a way that would make you happy and feel good. This kind of works-until it doesn't. In addition to it being a highly co-dependent way of being, it blocks you from being your You-est You because this people-pleasing behavior pushes you away from the core parts of you. The question to ask yourself that will help you feel into what you truly desire and align with is 'Is this true for me?' I want to give a huge shout-out to Rev. Frances Fayden (who has been on my podcast twice) for helping me to see this was missing in my own life. This question should be the new compass for all of us recovering people pleasers. After asking yourself this question, you need to get quiet, pause, and feel with your body wisdom what is true for you. Taking on this practice will allow you to build trust, faith, and confidence in your own inner knowing and body wisdom. The power of 'No, thank you.' If you've read this far, I'm thinking we're cut from the same cloth. Saying no has probably been one of the hardest words to say out loud. I remember reading Shonda Rhimes' bestselling book, 'The Year of Yes,' and thought...I do not need a year of saying yes; I need a year of saying NO! I recently interviewed the lovely Kate Northrup, who talked about the power of saying no and doing less. Saying no is not going to feel normal and may be weird at first. At least it didn't feel normal for me. I have learned through tapping into my body wisdom, after asking myself a question about something I'm wavering on, that if I listen and get still, I will have my answer. Most recently, I heard the answer from within, and it was, 'No, thank you.' You can, of course, just say no, as 'no' is a full sentence in itself. I like adding the 'thank you' as it adds an element of appreciation, gratitude, and thanks. For me, this will be the year of no, thank you—such a beautiful way to set boundaries for anyone struggling with people-pleasing. Kindness to yourself Ok, so I know our type - we try to be kind to everyone, often missing the most important person to show true kindness to -- ourselves. In addition to asking yourself, 'Is this true for me,' start incorporating the question, 'Is this kind to me?' Or better said, 'Am I being kind to myself right now?' As we know that all of our outer world reflects our inner world, it's time to start bringing the qualities we want to see 'out there' like radical kindness, compassion, and integrity, to our inner world. Often when we are busy people-pleasing, we forget to put our needs first but pausing to ask yourself these questions can help you set the intention to balance your needs and set necessary boundaries. Final Thoughts Recovering from people-pleasing is a winding road, but with a bit of time and effort (and self-forgiveness), you can teach yourself new, healthier behaviors. Please let me know how you are being more true to your You-est You, what it feels like to say no, thank you, and ways in which you are being more kind to yourself, sweet friend.

Kate Eckman empowers high-achieving individuals to actualize their full potential. She leverages her experience as a well-known communications, performance and mindfulness expert, accomplished entrepreneur, and elite athlete to equip leaders with the tools, methodology, and energetic boost they need to compete and win at the game of life. With a results-driven approach rooted in neuroscience, positive psychology, and whole-person coaching techniques, Kate helps her clients succeed in and out of the boardroom and on and off the field. She guides them to identify who they are beneath their titles and labels, clarity their priorities and values, and then co-create a game plan to get them from where they are now to where they most desire to be … adding in some fun and humor along the way. Kate incorporates a mind-body-spirit approach into her coaching engagements, recognizing that when we take care of our inner world, our outer world takes care of itself. Kate recently led and organized the team behind the launch of QVC's first and only proprietary beauty brand, which made more than four million dollars in sales the first day alone. Known for her incomparable salesmanship, she helps global beauty brands shape their vision, strategy and innovation to inspire the achievement of breakthrough results. Kate earned her B.A. in communications from Penn State University, where she was an Academic All-American swimmer. She received her master's degree in broadcast journalism from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. She graduated at the highest degree from Columbia University's executive and organizational coaching program. Kate is the author of, The Full Spirit Workout: A 10-Step System to Shed Your Self-Doubt, Strengthen Your Spiritual Core, and Create a Fun & Fulfilling Life, which is a workout for your spirit that will help you build strong mental and emotional muscles and get fit on the inside. Passionate about mindfulness practices for both brain and body health, Kate is a meditation teacher and course creator for Insight Timer, the world's number-one ranked free meditation app. It's Time To Redefine Success It's exhausting to pretend that all is always going well and it can feed into an never ending cycle of expecting perfectionism of yourself and others. It's time to redefine success on all levels, which is not about being perfect (doesn't exist anyhow) and is more about showing up the best you can be, in that moment, and being of service to help others. By doing this kind of way of success, you'll connect authentically and also feel less alone or stuck in the perfectionism rut. It's not about toxic positivity and always having to be positive, but more about embracing humanity and allowing yourself to have an off day(s) and sharing that openly with others. The Full Spirit Workout Kate talked about how we all need more time to go within and just like we spend time working out and building our muscles, we need a workout for our spirit; an emotional workout of sorts. This book was a labor of love that she felt was her divine assignment, and a way to teach a new way of being fit; on the inside spiritually and emotionally. It's time we put our wellbeing first and make this a priority. The 5 P's of Self-Confidence These are the 5 P's Kate talks about in her book about how to build more genuine confidence. The root of confidence means 'to trust', so this is really about learning to trust your inner wisdom. Presence: this is about showing up fully connected to your higher self and spirit, and as a full person Patience: trusting all in divine timing and surrendering is part of the importance of patience. Purpose: Show up no matter what and finding what truly drives you Preparation: Prepare, show up and build habits that support your highest good. Practice: get support to stick to your purpose and always keep trying, and practicing We chatted about the bonus P's: Pause: take time to process first and pause before responding to your inner voice or that of someone else's that is unkind or not helpful and Person: be a person who leans into trust. These will all bring you deeper and greater peace. Boost Your Mental Metabolism Just like food turning into energy (calories), your thoughts also turn into energy. You want to choose your thoughts wisely and tap into the power of reframing to look at situations from a new perspective. A great question to ask yourself if feeling stuck, is 'What if?'...as in, what if this is happening for a higher purpose?

As an entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, and mother, Kate Northrup has built a multimedia educational platform that reaches hundreds of thousands globally. She's committed to supporting ambitious women to light up the world without burning themselves out. Kate teaches data and soul-driven time and energy management practices that result in saving time, making more money, and experiencing less stress through her Do Less Planner, her programs, and her books, Do Less and Money: A Love Story. Do Less was named one of the 100 Best Time Management Books of All Time. Kate's work has been featured by The Today Show, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Yahoo! Finance, Forbes, Women's Health, Glamour, and more. Kate lives with her husband and their daughters in Florida. DO LESS For all of you high-achieving, ambitious and uber productive folk out there, this is going to feel very uncomfy. As a recovering overachiever myself, i.e. workaholic, I know firsthand what it's like to measure feelings of worthiness, productivity and what seems like happiness based on your amount of 'doing'. We're here to tell you that this is NOT the route to inner peace, joy or success. Kate talked all about how she was smack in the face with this question during the hardest year of her life when her first baby needed a lot of her attention and all she had was enough energy to feed herself, and her daughter. Interestingly enough, during this time of being less productive was also her most successful year financially. She started to ask herself, 'Who am I if I'm not productive?'. This question changed her life as she started to unpack the myth about needing to be super duper productive to be successful. She started to focus on the 20% of her business that was most important that gets 80% of the results. This is called the Pareto principle, where 80% of the results typically come from 20% of your efforts. She started to see how obsessed our culture is with being busy and that we're immersed in a programming that doesn't value rest. Kate decided to create values that are not based on her productivity, and this is much of what she teaches today. YOUR WORTHINESS IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK As mentioned above, a big ah-ha for Kate, was realizing that her worthiness (and yours as well) is not based on productivity or doing. As girls, many of us were taught that our worthiness was dependent on being pleasing to others. We would please others to prove we exist and are worthy. Until recent, women have been valued for more beyond giving pleasure, having a home and raising a family. Growing up with this kind of belief system left many of us women feeling the need to be people pleasers, have zero boundaries and work at all costs to be seen and successful. In my life, this leads to a total mental, physical and spiritual breakdown. Kate shared about her breakdown story as well. I loved Kate's definition of how she values herself and her time, she said that 'her life is in service of the Divine, of something greater. You can't be of service and there for everyone, we have to start by saying no.' JUST SAY NO For those of us recovering people pleaser (hello!), creating boundaries and saying no to others can feel like poking your eye out with your dinner fork. It's not fun and it takes practice. The problem is that we don't have unlimited hours and we need to start following our own inner navigation system. Kate discussed how she uses her menstrual cycle and the moon in a very beautiful and powerful way to track and create personal policies that help create boundaries around her time and energy. Kate has created a daily energy tracker to see what has worked well, what didn't and focus on her learnings. For example, she realized that one of her favorite ways to spend time off was to go to the beach with her daughters. Today she has Fridays off for beach time with her children. She has created these policies for her business and personal life, and they have allowed her to expand, reach more people and only say yes to what really moves her. Side note, I am grateful to the moon and back that she said yes to this podcast, as this was an absolutely enlightening and delish convo. To take Kate's 8-day free THE NO CHALLENGE, go to https://katenorthrup.com/no (I'll certainly be doing this one!) IT'S TIME TO TRUST YOURSELF When I asked Kate what moved her most and what she felt was her legacy, she said without missing a beat, 'to get women into their bodies to trust themself. Our bodies are wired to give birth and protect life.' It's time to trust ourselves and see that you are the embodiment of the Divine. This is all that truly matters. What we do in the day to day has nothing to do with a life well lived, it's about full embodiment of your sacred gifts, heart and inner calling. Love it, Kate!

Kelly Noonan Gores is the writer, director, and producer of HEAL, a documentary feature about the mind-body connection and our body's innate ability to heal. She also authored the follow up book HEAL which has twice the content of the film. A Los Angeles native, she grew up in front of the camera acting on and off in commercials, TV, and film from the age of 7. In 2012 she started Elevative Entertainment with the intention to create conscious media that informs, inspires, and empowers. She has a passion for psychology, wellness, and spirituality and an insatiable appetite for understanding consciousness. As such, she has spent the last 18 years studying the teachings of luminaries like Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Ernest Holmes, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and many more. Her intention with the documentary is to empower people to take control of their health back and demonstrate that almost anything is possible if we believe it is so. Kelly is a seeker, a meditator, and enjoys traveling, sports, reading and writing. GETTING OVER SELF-DOUBT Kelly shared so openly that while she had dreamt of creating a documentary with her favorite teachers about health, from an integrative perspective, it took years to take action. She talked about Brene Brown's work helping her to move through this voice in her head that can be negative. I loved Kelly's powerful quote that "self-doubt is the original pandemic". You've got to surround yourself with non-egoic people and remember that your heart's desire is here to be fulfilled. We're all so grateful Kelly listened to her heart and pursued her passion as she created one of the most powerful documentaries about the power of our bodies to heal themself. If you haven't yet watched this film, it's a must. She surrounded herself with a small but mighty team who were supportive. She had a clear vision and passion and talked about surrendering to the experience and the Universe's greater plan. Loved this quote, "If your calling is strong enough, follow the chills, messages and signs, and trust that the Universe will provide the pathway to make your calling come to life." YOUR ENERGY IS EVERYTHING Kelly interviews some of our most influential healers, practitioners, physicians, naturopaths, and brilliant scientists, like Dr. Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, Peter Crone (make sure you tune in to my interviews on the You-est You podcast with these three), Anthony Williams, Dr. Joe Dispenza and many others, on the power of our own ability to heal and align to wellness. The book that influenced Kelly the most was The Biology of Belief, by Dr. Bruce Lipton, which in essence states that we're not the victims of our genes. Our thoughts affect our energy and by changing your thoughts and actions, you can change your energy in the electromagnetic field. Another key aspect to understand is that between 0 - 7 years old, we're like sponges downloading other programs from our parents, school, community, religion, etc. At least 70% of this programming is limiting and negative. This then becomes our subconscious programming and what's needed to make real change is breaking the generational patterns. Your genetics are just a blueprint; your prediction of the world will color the lense of looking at life. YOU ARE MEANT TO HEAL We are co-creators with Life. Life will nudge us and tap us on the shoulder. You can listen to the nudge or wait until your wake up call is a disease, a broken bone or an accident. We have a lot more control over our health. It's never your fault for having a disease, it's always created at the subconscious level. The most powerful tools for healing are love and gratitude. Love is the highest healing energy and love is our source. When we align to source energy, we can heal. Don't forget that we are designed for tough times like this. Become aware of your choices and remember that there is powerful intelligence in our body that is a healing energy.

There's a lot of energy going on right now between our all being a little over a year into the pandemic, feeling out how to best care for our bodies and those we love, and how to boost our immunity and keep our spirits high. In this episode I share ways to tune more carefully into your heart's inner wisdom and how to come from love versus fear, no matter what is going on. RELEASE YOUR TRIGGERS: I share my practice in how to identify triggers, see what's really going on underneath the surface and how to let your heart share what you really need to heal. This journaling practice has been transformative and a game changer for greater healing. SELF CARE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE Self-care is not selfish, it's the opposite. It's time to start rewiring the way you look at caring for yourself; mind, body and spirit. We are a triune being, needing attention, care and nourishment for all three of these aspects of ourself. You are worthy and deserving of full self-care and time to nurture your full self. WE NEED YOU IN YOUR HEART If we want to change the consciousness of this planet, it starts with you and I learning to gravitate and get comfy staying in our heart, i.e. in love versus fear. Practice by putting your hand on your heart and asking what it is that is the most loving thing you can do at that moment. Start to train yourself to be heart-centered in all aspects of life. It's not only possible, it's how we are wired at birth.

Meet Christine Kane Before Christine Kane founded what became a multi-million dollar coaching company, she spent fifteen years in the music industry, producing seven CDs and a DVD on her own label while touring the globe over 200 days a year. She shared the stage with luminaries like John Mayer, The Beach Boys, Los Lobos, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin. Her success as a singer-songwriter had fans asking how she did it while staying true to her art and her soul. Those backstage questions turned into weekend retreats. Those retreats turned into coaching requests - and set her on a new path. In 2010, Kane opened Uplevel You, a company that serves the ever-growing class of sensitive, idea-driven, aggression-averse entrepreneurs (a class she counts herself a member of). She has really worked to change the definition of entrepreneur. Her work has attracted more than 125,000 loyal email subscribers and has coached thousands of clients into the six and seven figures in their businesses. She has spoken at events from the Martha Beck annual conference to the iconic Emerging Women event. Today, Christine leads a small yet mighty team at Uplevel World Headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina. I loved Christine's raw authenticity, soulful slant on life and business, and the beautiful combination of owning her power and humility. I was quite inspired by Christine's decision to leave her successful singing and performing career to follow the nudges of her soul to help sensitive, creative and ambitious entrepreneurs integrate the delicate balance of soul and strategy. If this resonates even a little bit, you're going to love this interview. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and get ready to hang with Christine and me for a cozy and delicious conversation. The 3 A's We talked about the importance, especially for those 'quick start' high energy types, to pause before any talk, engagement, activity, or even a meal to get clear on your intention. Christine shared her soulful intention, the 3 A's, as she calls it, where she wishes awakeness, awareness, and abundance for all involved. I loved these 3 A's and thought they might inspire you as well. Soul + Strategy Christine Kane's book, The Soul-Sourced Entrepreneur, both goes into her personal story as well as the frameworks she teaches to help what she calls the 'highly creative, secretly sensitive and wildly ambitious' to excel, succeed and build a career and life that comes from both strategy and the soul. This is not just about having a great mindset, as what's often overlooked is connecting with the richness and lessons from our soul. This book and words of wisdom are for the new class of entrepreneurs who want to incorporate soul-filled wisdom and honor some of the most significant overlooked assets: intuition, sensitivity, and creativity. Don't Tolerate Mediocrity. Listen to Your Soul. We have to start learning to tell the truth, meaning our own personal truth. As human beings, we want to fit in, and sometimes when listening to your soul's calling, it will have you take a different course than expected. Christine shares her experience of this after realizing she didn't want to be a renowned singer and performer and instead felt called to serve in a different way through coaching and guiding others. If you simply tolerate your life because it feels comfortable or you're scared of what others think, just realize that it will only get worse to keep accepting a life you don't absolutely love. Tapping into your truth will help you get tuned in and stop deflecting what your soul knows to be right for you. Being able to release these fixed mindsets and listen to your soul is what will move you towards your higher calling. Living a Soul Sourced® Life Christine shared her ways of staying in alignment with her best self, which has a different look to it than in years past. Her daily routine of self-connection is about finding time to meditate (but not being rigid about it). Also, embodying that every day is sacred, reading something spiritual, and offering prayers to remember who she is. She makes time to lift weights to stay physically strong and shows up as present as possible. Doing silent meditation retreats and other inner work have been game-changers for her life. Today she welcomes the natural ebbs and flows of being her most authentic self. Being your You-est You® As Christine describes it, it's a natural way of being and an organic way to navigate the world. Start by trusting your life and soul. It will all show you where to go. Sacred Connection As always, this community is a sacred, safe place built on love and acceptance. It was created to help you evolve and expand into your highest self.

Meet Leon Logothetis Leon Logothetis is a humanitarian, best-selling author, and cause-adventurer. He is the host of the Netflix series "The Kindness Diaries", where he circumnavigated the globe on his vintage yellow motorbike "Kindness One," giving life-changing gifts along the way to unsuspecting good Samaritans. All of this while relying solely on the kindness of strangers. In February 2019, a second season of the series was released, this time with Leon traveling from Alaska all the way to the bottom of Argentina. The show is currently being streamed on Netflix in 190 countries Leon's greatest passion is combining adventures with great, meaningful causes. He teamed up with First Book® and drove a car from London to Mongolia, raising money to buy 10,000 books for underprivileged children. He drove a vintage London taxi across the states, giving free cab rides to the needy and working with Classwish to bring hope back to schools. He has collaborated-for-a-cause on web-series for Southwest Airlines, Little Things, and Trivago, garnering millions of views and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for those in need. Leon has documented his travels for numerous media outlets, including Good Morning America, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Outside, Good, Psychology Today, and The New York Times. His best-selling books "Amazing Adventures of a Nobody", "The Kindness Diaries", "Live, Love, Explore," and "Go Be Kind" are in stores now. Where Kindness Begins Leon Logothetis started this inner journey after waking up realizing he had everything on the outside but felt empty on the inside. He decided to dedicate his life to finding his authentic self and essentially "unlearn everything we were taught." This is a great question to ask yourself, what would be helpful to unlearn so that you can feel even more connected to your You-est You? Where can you begin to be more kind? To interject random acts of kindness into your life? How can you be more intentional and speak words of kindness daily? We have to train ourselves to live more purposefully in a kind manner, not just to others but also to ourselves. Expanding Empathy Some of the most powerful takeaways from our conversation: Your life is not about living someone else's dream. Spend time in stillness, in nature, and silence to hear your own dream. The secret sauce of kindness is empathy. There is no problem being as successful, wealthy, or famous as you can be. Just make sure you are basing everything on empathy, kindness, and compassion. There needs to be a bigger purpose in fulfilling any dream, goal, or desire. Find that bigger purpose, and hold close to it. Leon shared that he was a bit doubtful at the beginning of his expedition from Alaska to Argentina until he heard his inner wisdom say, "You are doing this because others will be inspired to be kind." This larger 'why' helped him in difficult times of doubt and fear during the rest of his trip. True wealth is in your heart. Never forget that. No material wealth can come close to the wealth that lives in you right now. Hoping you were as inspired by Leon's experience, strength and wisdom as I was. Share how you will find more ways to be kind to yourself and to others! Sacred Connection As always, this community is a sacred, safe place built on love and acceptance.

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. while landing interviews on popular podcasts and national TV. Many of Selena's clients have become industry leaders with 6 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. You Can Impact Millions One of the things I love about Selena is how genuine and caring she is. She spoke so openly and vulnerably about being in an abusive relationship and how isolating it was. Selena recently shared her story in a very public and brave way to help other women who have experienced a similar kind of trauma. The full article can be read HERE. (LINK HERE IN SHOW NOTES: https://selenasoo.medium.com/i-was-in-an-emotionally-abusive-relationship-even-as-a-smart-and-successful-woman-8804ffe58cc9) One of the gifts of sharing your story through the portal of media and publicity is the ability to help, serve, inspire and impact millions. Selena's strength and the gift of being a super-connector and media strategist aided her own courageous choice to share her story. Selena gave us a fantastic quote that spoke volumes of truth, "People aren't looking for more information. People are looking for inspiration." Sharing your story can be insightful and inspiring for others who may be walking the same path but be several steps behind you. Why Publicity Is So Important Like Selena, I also believe you have a story that is worth sharing. Whether it's to reach more people you would like to serve, grow your audience, inspire many more people, or help others in need, publicity is the best way to extend your reach and serve in a much bigger way. If your heart is calling you to make a more significant impact in the world, it is time to listen so you can reach millions. Selena Soo reminds us that even if you are introverted or a heart-centered, highly sensitive person, there is a place for you in the publicity world. She is an introvert, and while it was a struggle in the beginning, Selena learned ways to adapt and work with who she innately was. Publicity Hacks & Don'ts When looking to gain publicity, there are some basic dos and don'ts. Keep in mind that you don't need a huge platform to pitch the media or do interviews. You do need to focus on your main topic and offers. Selena explains that you'll want to be thoughtful and strategic about your focus, especially if you have multiple offerings. Don't pitch topics. Instead, pitch story ideas in an exciting headline format. When pitching your story, describe your idea with a few bullet points so it's clear and concise. Less Is More I talked to Selena about how she grew to a 7-figure business in such a short amount of time. I loved her answer. Less is more, don't get caught in the shiny object syndrome. Simplify and stay focused. Eliminate whatever is not your essential heart-centered offering. Pour your attention into what you're doing. Stay laser-focused and create excellence in one area. Build connected and genuine relationships that you can build upon. Take action with your fears, so you don't let your worries drive your action. When Selena talked about getting focused on that "one thing," she recommended the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg Mckeown. This one keeps coming up, so obviously, it's a must-read! Selena graciously offered an amazing gift, which you can get at juliereisler.com/publicity. In addition to three powerful videos about how to get more publicity, Selena also includes: A list of 200 media outlets. A 12-month in-depth publicity calendar. A 7-step action plan to implement your publicity outreach. Sacred Connection As always, this community is a sacred, safe place built on love and acceptance.

Rev. Frances Fayden is an Interfaith Minister, an Energetic Success Coach, and co-founder of the Magnify Your Miracles membership. A master intuitive healer and spiritual counselor, Frances is fluent in the language of the human energy field known as the chakra system and can quickly translate energetic information to help her clients heal & transform. In 2012, Frances had a profound encounter with Mother Mary, which changed the direction of her life and awakened her life purpose. She has been channeling messages from Mother Mary ever since. She loves working with Highly Sensitive Souls who have a big vision and mission yet are seeking validation and personal guidance with their next steps. Frances says, "By incorporating Mother Mary's guidance along with feedback from your own energy field, and then applying the Universal Laws of Manifestation, miracles can occur." She is the author of the books Meditation is Friendship with God and How to Recognize God. Her passion is connecting people to the unconditional love of the Divine and then teaching them how to magnify that connection, which is the key to Magnifying Your Miracles. What Does it Mean to Be Sensitive? Sensitivity is a spectrum. We all have some level of sensitivity. Often highly sensitive people are very in tune with energy, be it a person's energy or the energy of a space, home, building, or even city. Those who are highly sensitive are often highly creative and have a high level of awareness, and tend to notice things that might go undetected. Self-care is crucial for those who are higher on the sensitivity spectrum, as is having plenty of time for healing and self-care practices. Finding Your Comfort Zone Rather than trying to push yourself out of your comfort zone, find out how you want to expand your comfort zone. Most spiritual entrepreneurs and highly sensitive people need a different way to bring forth their vision or run a business. The healing path of success is about being kind to yourself, building confidence through seeing what's working and what isn't, and most importantly, knowing your worth. Rather than shocking your system by trying to go too far out of your comfort zone, remember the mother nature metaphor of pregnancy, which is about a slow shifting of capacity and expansion, one day at a time. Celebrate All Little Successes We tend to want the big wins now, but this is not how sustainable change and growth happens. Start celebrating your little successes now and watch as your capacity to receive, grow and succeed increases. As Rev. Frances said, "you shouldn't have to hurt yourself to succeed." The Mantra That Will Change Your Life If you want greater freedom in your life, the key is forgiveness. Most importantly, forgiving yourself is crucial. One of the messages Rev. Frances channeled was from Archangel Zadkiel, who shared that one of the most powerful mantras you can say to yourself is, "I forgive". You don't even have to know who you are forgiving or why. There is no reason even to be specific as to what you are forgiving. Using it as a general statement and intention will tell your subconscious that you are ready to forgive on all levels.

Take time for a sacred pause to feel to heal, and let go of judgment of yourself. * Share authentically with someone you trust whatever is most uncomfortable. Don't let judgment of yourself get in the way. * Doing an inventory of stored up feelings like anger, resentment and frustration is an excellent way to give space to what's going on below the surface. The important part is not to judge yourself or any feeling that emerges. All is well. * The healing will happen in your feeling and in revealing how you feel. *The ego lives in fear and judgment. You and I are either in fear or love. * The acronyms to remember: EGO (Edging God Out) and FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) The Power of Forgiveness * We are all made of energy. Unexpressed emotions remain as stored up energy in your cells and can lead to deeper frustration, resentment, stress, despair and even illness. * Forgiveness, first for yourself, and then for others, is a powerful way to change your own internal energy. * Look for the bigger picture and a wider lens of whatever is needing your forgiveness. Imagine your listening to a friend tell you what you are working on forgiving yourself for. Extend the same grace you'd give a friend, to yourself. * Warning: The act of forgiving yourself (and others) will change your life. Enjoying the show?

Heather Chauvin is a leadership coach and strategic parenting expert who helps ambitious women become leaders at work and home. Drawing from her professional experience as a social worker and her life experience raising three boys, Heather created a signature approach to focus her clients on sustainability, profitability and ease in business and life. She is the host of the Mom Is In Control Podcast where she reveals her most vulnerable truths about womanhood, marriage, parenting, living through stage 4 cancer and running a successful business—without burning out. Heather has been featured as a TEDx speaker and on The OWN Network, CTV, and The Jenny McCarthy Show. She has also appeared in Entrepreneur and Real Simple. When Heather isn't being a classic Canadian by driving her boys to hockey practice, you'll find her curled up on the couch with her husband surfing the internet, researching their next family adventure. Heather shared her very vulnerable and frightening story, which ended up being a clear lesson in her life. She learned to listen to that tiny small voice and to trust yourself. Other powerful take-aways were: What you resist, will persist. Rather than avoiding resistance, move into and through it. What helped Heather to heal on all levels was to start with the question, 'How do you want to feel?" She referenced Danielle LaPorte's Desire Map work and found the questions: 'What do you want, What do you need and What do you desire?' will always guide you towards your highest self. Managing your energy and learning energetic time management is key. Learn to tune into the energy you need in that moment. Start somewhere and keep reinvesting in yourself. Do this by putting yourself on the calendar. Schedule reset and space on the calendar first. If you're not learning, you're done. Trust yourself and trust those whispers. Loved this quote from Heather, "We're priceless beings, we're all valuable. Period.'

Bob Roth is one of the most experienced and sought-after meditation leaders in America. Over the past 45 years, Bob has taught Transcendental Meditation to many thousands of people, and is the author of the 2018 New York Times bestseller, "Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation." As CEO of the David Lynch Foundation Bob has helped bring meditation to more than a million students in underserved schools in 35 countries, to military veterans and their families who suffer from post-traumatic stress, and to women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. Bob also directs the Center for Health & Wellness, which is bringing meditation to companies, government organizations, and nonprofit organizations. Bob is the host of the SiriusXM radio show, "Success Without Stress" and has spoken about meditation to industry leaders at such gatherings as Google Zeitgeist, Aspen Ideas Festival, Aspen Brain Conference, Wisdom 2.0, and Summit. I have been meditating with Bob since this past summer of 2020 and was amazed by his calming energy, daily commitment to provide free Transcendental Meditation (TM in short) for all those who wanted to meditate (and twice a day!) and kindness. His energy reminded me of a modern day Mr. Rogers and for the first time, I stopped feeling badly that I couldn't stop my thoughts. In fact, this is where I learned through constant reminders to easily and effortlessly use my mantra and allow any thoughts without resistance. When I reached out, Bob answered immediately (not typical for someone in a busy, high profile position) and said he'd love to do an interview about his journey and the life changing effects of meditation. Below are some of the high points from that conversation. If you would like to try the daily TM meditation, I have listed the link below. The daily sessions are free, held at 7 am, 8:30 am and 6:00 pm EST, and open to anyone. Being your You-est You is about following the light of truth from within and connecting to your own inner light (I loved Bob's definition). This is a powerful time to go deeper within and find your most truthful you. Everyone is feeling the uncertainty during this pandemic. Uncertainty is one of the biggest causes of stress because the brain wants to keep things certain. We're definitely in unchartered territory and in need of staying calm more than ever. Research of TM has shown that it creates profound healing as it allows the limbic system to release stress and for knots of trauma to release. TM has been used with veterans, those on the front line of duty such as firefighters, police officers and medical professionals, and others overcoming serious trauma to help alleviate massive amounts of stress. Bob suggests treating TM as a medical intervention. The benefits of TM and meditation in general is likened to the ocean where you might have choppy and large waves on the surface, but deeper down it is calm, quiet and serene. The more you meditate, the more your mind becomes like the bottom of the ocean. These deeper levels are more satisfying and given the opportunity, the mind will always be drawn to something more kind. It is in this quieter, lovely place you can meet your own inner-self, with kindness. Some misconceptions about meditation are that your thoughts are supposed to stop. Bob shares that the brain never stops, rather it's about accessing thoughts from a more peaceful and settled place. The mind and body are not separate, as many of us think. They are one. There are profound physiological benefits to being in the restful state of meditation as it allows for your body to heal. I asked Bob what his brightest hope is for the future and the legacy he wishes to leave. He shared that his aim is for humanity to get the normalcy of enlightenment --- that enlightenment is for any human being, regardless of background, religion, spiritual orientation or anything else. He is most passionate about restoring the highest human values on the planet; humility, service, kindness, energy, strength and wisdom. If you're called to watch this on YouTube (LINK!!!!!!!!!!!), you can see Bob and my interview there as well.

This solo episode was recorded with lots of heart and the intention of helping you raise what I'm calling your Prosperity Quotient, or PQ. Really this is about overcoming feelings of lack, struggles with worthiness and not good enough, as it relates to your money, finances and overall feeling of prosperity. If you prefer a visual version, do check my episode out on YouTube, where all episodes are posted. Some of the takeaways from this episode are: The root of all lack consciousness and fear or discomfort with prosperity comes from a lack of worthiness. I'm here to remind you that you are worthy for no other reason then you are a human being. You do not need to prove your worthiness nor is it something that fluctuates. What you appreciate, appreciates. By focusing on where and how you do feel prosperous will help call forth more prosperity. Not sure this is true? Try doing this for a week and see what happens. Like you, money is energy. How you feel about this energy has everything to do with the money and prosperity you are attracting or repelling. The great news is that all of this can be changed with focused intention and attention. If you struggle with underarning, self-debting or discomfort charging for your services, I highly recommend the books Money A Love Story, by Kate Northrup, Overcoming Underearning and Sacred Success, by Barbara Stanny (coming soon on this podcast) and It's Not Your Money, by Tosha Silver. If i can support you at all on your prosperity journey, please reach out anytime. It is my intention to be part of the cosmic shift around prosperity, worthiness and helping us all to claim our natural abundance. As always, this community is a sacred and safe space for you to evolve and expand in to your highest self. Please share your insights, wisdom, comments, thoughts and anything you are pondering or even grappling with. I love hearing from you and learning how you are being your truest, you-est you.
