Awareness

The thing you’re seeking outside of you from someone else is the thing you need from you.

It’s wild how much has transpired in 2021 so far and August was no exception.

This has been a BIG month and as always, I’m super excited to share my biggest lessons, takeaways, and healings. In this episode, you’ll discover why I cut my hair and all the symbolism around that. You’ll also hear about a financial shock that sparked deeper levels of self-trust as well as insights into my personal reflection process which is getting sharper and sharper. 

I’m so grateful for this powerful month and for all the incredible inner journeys it sparked. All the events from this month have helped me learn to trust myself in new ways – and I can’t wait to share it all with you. 

As usual, my dear friend Georgina El Morshdy is here to hold space, provide reflections, and help us navigate this important conversation about self-trust and learning how to give yourself what you need. 

Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll hear us discuss:

This month, I’ve been able to connect with a deeper level of love within myself that has in turn helped me just stay grounded and rooted in me in new and profound ways. I’m excited to reveal it all in this week’s episode.  

The more I trust myself, the more I listen to myself, the prouder I am of myself.

This episode’s guest feels like a soul brother to me. Vipul Bhesania and I had an instant resonance when we first met, and since then we’ve had so many profound conversations on and off the mic. 

The conversation we recorded together for this episode was deeper and more profound than anything I could have consciously prepared for.

We took a curious path through many concepts – covering everything from soul truths to routines, rituals, and discovering the path that is uniquely yours to take. 

You’ll love this conversation if you’re on the path of living an inspired life and are driven to connect deeper and deeper with your true self. 

Check out all the goodness…  

Vipul has a gift of expressing thoughts and emotions through words that connect with people on a really deep level. Through his work, Vipul inspires other people to seek their truth through his Know Your Legacy podcast, and his new book – ‘Searching in Silence’. 

In this episode, we explore: 

1. The power of cultivating self-awareness. 
2. The role of resonance in finding love and relationship. 
3. Connection as a currency. 
4. Surrendering the need to lead from the mind and make space for the heart.

In a world with so much external noise, learning to trust your inner knowing over anything external can provide you with the guidance, courage, and certainty you need to stay grounded in a life you love. 

This episode holds many clues that can help you walk this path with grace and ease.

The better our boundaries are, the more powerful our presence will be in the world.

I’m super excited to re-release this incredible conversation I had with Karlee Fain earlier last year. After feeling a strong desire to refresh my own memory on the power of setting energetic boundaries, I tuned into this conversation and found so many gems from it. 

Boundaries are a way to create more power in your world. They also help to make relationships deeper, more connected, and safer. Boundaries can also help you to navigate tough conversations making this tool a skill to practice and master. 

If you feel drawn to practice setting and maintaining energetic and physical boundaries in your life, this episode will help. Check it out.

As a sought-after live-in coach to A-List celebrities [including Grammy-award winners], Karlee empowers people to get back their precious time and energy.  

Boundary settings is a core area of expertise for Karlee and in this episode we explore: 

1. How to differentiate between self-love when you need to take time and self-love when you need to do the work. 
2. The teacup and saucer analogy of boundaries and self-love. 
3. Why creating boundaries isn’t easy.
4. How to know that our boundaries are appropriate. 
5. How our body tells us that it’s time to set boundaries.
6. What are boundaries actually protecting? 
7. How to determine which values are worth creating boundaries around. 
8. Why starting with low-risk scenarios is a great way to practice boundary setting.
9. How to start being radically honest with yourself.

I actually don’t want to try to be divine. I want to try to be as human as possible.

Welcome to the first interview of 2022! Traditionally, this time of year is potent for goal setting because January represents a fresh start. 

In the past, I’ve been used to set clearly defined goals and I’ve had a lot of success with the process. However, as I feel more deeply into a more holistic way of creation, I’m discovering new ways to spark growth and evolution. 

In this episode, my good friend Makhosi and I explore why the richest and fulfilling life starts with YOU. We discuss the different energetics that you can weave into the way you create your life – opening a gateway for Euphoric Evolution. 

This episode is a doozy and I’m so excited for you to dive in and kick-start your 2022 with the ideas and concepts we present.  

Makhosi is a powerhouse with one of the strongest energetic presences I’ve ever experienced. 

Better known as The Royal Shaman, Makhosi is a divine oracle for Elite Empire Builders, an illustrious priestess of epic abundance, advisor to new kings and queens, breaker of paradigms, and a mystic of life beyond accomplishment. 

In this episode, Makhosi and I explore: 

• Why your beingness can help you achieve bigger goals. 
• What happens when you take the timeline away from goal setting. 
• Creating goals from a place of how you want to FEEL. 
• The power of calibrating to an aspirational version of you. 
• Using senses intentionally to shift your mood. 
• Why who you are is most evident when people aren’t around you. 
• Secrets of branding yourself. 
• The key to the creative process. 
• Strategies for bringing more depth to your human experience. 
• And more…

If you’re curious to start the new year in an elevated, evolved way then this episode is for you. Tap into Makhosi’s energetic presence and allow yourself to be inspired by a life beyond expectation, settling, and societal definitions of success.

I would say mindfulness, as a practice, as a whole, is about waking up to the true experience of life.

Sara Raymond was in her early 30s when she realized she was drifting through her life aimlessly. Up until this point, her life had been guided by what she felt she ‘should’ do. The feeling of being in the status quo inspired Sara to reinvent her life. This feeling was the beginning of The Mindful Movement. 

Sara founded The Mindful Movement in 2016 with a desire to inspire others to live mindfully, fulfilled lives. Sara is passionate about self-healing movement practices. Through her work, she combines her skills of hypnotherapy, meditation, pilates, and yoga to help others build confidence in their body and release stress, anxiety, and emotional blocks. Sara has also guided over 500,000 people through mindful practices on her YouTube Channel and in her private practice. 

In this conversation, we explore the power of mindfulness to ignite presence. I also loved hearing Sara share about the role her son has played in the development of her business by helping her start her YouTube channel. 

Here’s an overview of what else we talked about. 

Key takeaways:

1. Waking up and recognizing that you’re living in the status quo. 
2. The work to connect with safety in your heart. 
3. How contrast helps us feel the beauty of life.
4. How other people’s feelings spark our own emotional responses. 
5. Sara’s definition of mindfulness. 
6. Where does resistance come from and does it have utility for humans? 
7. Cultivating the courage to decide. 
8. Education for the next generation. 
9. And more…

This was a candid conversation that inspired me to open up vulnerably about my journey over the past 18 months too. If you’re ready to live a life of desires instead of ‘shoulds’ and you’re curious to know what lies on the other side of tough decisions, this episode is for you.

Growth, to me, is a self-defined concept because the hardest thing for you might not be the hardest thing for me.

One of my favorite rituals is the deep-dive reflection I do monthly. I love looking back over everything that happened to pull out the patterns, lessons, and learnings. Best of all, I get to share the highlights with you in this episode.

The theme of this month was finding and navigating my edges – the point of tension where growth can skyrocket. My new personal trainer ignited this thread after helping me become aware of an unexpected growth opportunity within my body. That awareness spilled into other areas of my life, creating beautiful opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. 

This month taught me the power of building a relationship with my edges. Every edge is a catalyst for expansion. When we cultivate the capacity to feel safe inside tension, our true depth and potential cracks open. As a result, this month has seen an elevation in everything from my health to my businesses to my relationships. 

As usual, my dear friend Georgina El Morshdy is here to hold space and guide us as we navigate this conversation about playing inside tension, igniting the curiosity to explore expansion, and having the courage to stretch yourself outside of what feels comfortable. 

Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll hear us discuss: 

• How my new personal trainer opened a gateway to finding new limits to explore. 
• How you can feel when you’re at your edge. 
• There’s always a new limit to find – in every area of your life. 
• Why the concept of personal limits can help us escape comparison culture. 
• My new understanding of energy and the role it plays in my life.
• Learning to connect with how I want to feel, not what I want. 
• And more…

We all have different edges where growth can happen – because we’re all experiencing unique journeys through this dance of life. Our edges are an invitation. An opportunity to explore what’s beyond the sense of self we believe we can hold. As a result, the courage to dance with your personal edges can empower you to optimize your personal and spiritual growth. 

Tune in to hear the whole story in this month’s reflection episode.
