EP.114 Flow states are getting to peak state and peak performance. Flow consciousness is taking that and stretching it out so you’re living in flow all of the time.

Hard work where “no pain equals no gain” is a cultural meme inherited from our grandparents, parents, and the media. But what if you could create a more extraordinary life by embracing flow?

When you’re programmed to believe hustle and grind equals success, it’s tempting to doubt the ‘easier’ path. But when you align with your true self, you can work from a place of ease, grace, and pure inspiration.

Flow consciousness creates this reality – and Justin Faerman and Jackie Knechtel are global pioneers in the art and science of living this way. Together, they conducted first-hand research into the nature of flow consciousness. Turning their discoveries into the flow methodology and tools, Justin and Jackie help their clients rewire and reprogram their consciousness. Nowadays, Justin and Jackie run high-level training programs through the Flow Consciousness Institute. They teach entrepreneurs and visionaries how to embrace flow to create exponential growth and success from a place of effortlessness.

And in this episode, they share how you can explore this life for yourself.

Justin and Jackie’s work has featured in Fast Company and Forbes magazine. Their practices are highly sought after by business and transformational leaders worldwide because they are so impactful. So get ready for some magic in this episode.

Here’s a taste of what we talk about:

• What’s the difference between flow states and flow consciousness?
• The conditioning that takes us out of flow consciousness.
• How to navigate traumatic experiences without losing yourself in the pain and emotion.
• Cultural memes and the big problem with the ‘no pain, no gain’ approach to business and life.

Why you always have a choice – regardless of the circumstances you face.

EP. 113 The word “art,” to me, is about owning my power as a creative channel in the world.

It’s not unusual for spiritual entrepreneurs to experience a significant shift in their life. This was the case for this episode’s guest – Emerald GreenForest. As a real estate agent, Emerald was crushing it. She was the National Chair of her Trade Association and was running a hugely successful company.

But it was a facade. Under the surface, Emerald’s life was a mess – until a ski accident led her to a life-changing yoga class. Inspired to create peace, Emerald left her soul-sucking career to study crystal healing and shamanic medicine. She learned to activate her multidimensional senses [which we all have], and figured out a way to create a creative life of her choosing.

This incredible journey led Emerald to become founder of the Creative Age Consulting Group, an internationally known speaker, a transformation artist, and the hostess of a Top 100 Apple podcast – Men On Purpose, which I had the pleasure of being on last year.

And in this episode, Emerald shares her experiences of spiritual transformation – so you can walk a similar path.

In this episode, Emerald and I explore the ins and out of a spiritual transformation – and what to expect along the way. Here’s a flavor of what we discuss:

• We throw the word around a lot, but what is healing?
• When trying to discern between false and truth, how do you know what truth feels like?
• How divine intervention led to a yoga class which became a peace activation.
• How to cultivate the courage to feel how you really feel?
• The power of a coffee ritual and what it can invite us to experience on a daily basis.
• If intuition is the paintbrush inside of us, how do you harness and cultivate it?
• The four multi-dimensional senses we all have and how to activate yours.
• The spiritual tools that empower you to create your own life.
• Why we can be joyful in our sadness.
• How to turn every act into a prayer so you can avoid feeling resentful.

I love hearing the perspectives of others, especially when they come from different walks of life than I do. We’re all unique, which means we all have different catalysts and wake-up calls. But it seems the journey is usually fueled by the same desire – to become the person we always knew we could be.

So if you’re excited to navigate a big life change and you want to dive deeper into purposeful living, this episode is for you. So tune in now and get ready to be wowed by your new friend, Emerald GreenForest.

EP.108 I never make a wrong decision, I make the most informed decision of the moment.

Carol Rydell is a spiritual seeker and the founder and director of New Earth Wealth Mystery School™. In this role, she serves as a mentor and catalyst for amazing souls and spiritual entrepreneurs who are deeply committed to their growth and transformation. In her ‘safe containers’, Carol guides people on a mystical journey where they connect with their inner shaman so they can come to love and trust themselves on a level they’ve never experienced before.

Carol is no stranger to navigating the ups and downs of life – something she describes as learning to live in fluidity. For example, she followed her soul’s calling to sell her accountancy firm at the height of her career so she could travel, learn about where abundance comes from, and discover parts of herself that she didn’t know existed.

In this episode, Carol explains how we can learn to navigate the waves of life by tapping into natural cycles. She reminds us that “as above, so below” and “as within, so without’. When you’re constantly hit by waves, and you never seem to be able to find the shore, life can feel tiring, but as Carole explains, this is all part of our journey to fluidity.

Carol has a beautiful approach to living life to the full. Her philosophies on aligning with nature and allowing natural rhythms to guide us through life’s ups and downs are inspiring. So if you’re feeling battered and bruised and you’re curious to understand the bigger picture at play, this episode is for you.

Tune in now and discover:

• What natural cycles can teach us about all areas of our lives
• What called Carol to leave her career at its peak
• The difference between mastery and fluidity – and why different people have different paths
• How intention can plug the leaks in your life that prevent you from creating what you want
• Why Carol’s late husband was right when he claimed, “I never make a wrong decision”
• A foolproof way to distinguish your soul’s truth from your ego’s distractions
• A simple method for discovering who you really are
• And more…
