The speaker shares her experience of moving into a new apartment, which she had manifested and affirmed would happen by the fall. Despite facing unexpected circumstances, she stayed committed to her belief and ultimately moved in on the first day of fall. Additionally, she encourages listeners to reflect on their desires and identify the root causes of what holds them back. The kind words of a listener, who feels inspired by the podcast, further highlight the positive impact it can have on people's lives.

      Effective planning is key when it comes to moving. The speaker shared her experience of finding her dream apartment quickly but regretted not planning ahead for furniture purchases. She emphasized the importance of determining your furniture style and making purchases before moving to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she advised against overloading boxes and recommended using bubble wrap to protect fragile items. For those considering moving out, she suggested creating a budget by listing all anticipated costs and subtracting them from income to determine an affordable rent and living situation.

    • Explore online and in-person options for apartment huntingResearch online, visit in person, declutter belongings, increase income, and maintain relationships when apartment hunting.

      When it comes to apartment hunting, it's important to both research online and visit the area in person if possible. Start by inputting your budget into apartment websites or apps and browsing through listings. However, if you can't physically visit the area, make sure to plan a trip there for a more in-depth search. Additionally, consider decluttering your belongings to make moving easier and create a more relaxed living space. Lastly, if your budget is too low, explore ways to increase your income to reach your desired living situation. Another key takeaway is the importance of maintaining connections with loved ones when moving away. Utilize technology like texting and FaceTime to stay in touch regularly, and plan visits in person as often as possible. Remember that while moving away can be challenging, the relationships we have with loved ones can remain strong despite the distance.

    • Trusting Intuition and Prioritizing Mental Health During Apartment SearchTrust your intuition when finding an apartment, prioritize mental health during transition, and consider safe transportation options like Alto. Bring comforts from home and focus on maintaining connections with loved ones.

      Finding the right apartment involves trusting your intuition and feeling, and taking care of your mental health during the transition is crucial. The speaker shared her experience of knowing instantly that she had found the right apartment, and emphasized the importance of staying connected with loved ones during a move. She also mentioned that she would be bringing her cat with her and her favorite fall meal to cook alone is butternut squash soup. The speaker revealed that her weekly grocery spending varies and transportation has been a challenge due to not having her license yet. She highly recommended Alto as a safe transportation option and offered a discount code for new members. Lastly, she expressed the importance of focusing on mental health during the move and shared her desire for a clean and white interior design for her new space.

    • Staying Positive and Achieving GoalsBelieve in yourself, ask for help, and stay connected to loved ones to achieve your goals. Embrace positivity and hard work to overcome challenges.

      No matter where life takes us, it's important to stay positive, surround ourselves with supportive people, and believe in our ability to achieve our goals. The speaker shared her excitement about moving into her dream apartment in LA and emphasized the importance of asking for help when navigating the technicalities of moving and furnishing a new place. She also advised coping with guilt about leaving family by focusing on their support and staying connected through technology. The speaker emphasized the importance of hard work, positivity, and believing in oneself to achieve anything, no matter the goal or timeline. She encouraged listeners to engage in a positivity or manifesting episode for the next podcast and shared her own experiences of following her dreams while staying connected to loved ones.

    • Making a move smoother through self-care and connectionsFocus on self-care, maintain routines, build new connections, and set personal goals during a move for a smoother transition. Utilize affirmations, manifestation, and a vision board for a positive mindset and personal growth.

      Moving can be a challenging experience, but focusing on self-care, maintaining routines, and building new connections can help make the transition smoother. The speaker shared fond memories of bonding with her mother during the moving process and the importance of staying independent and enjoying her own company. She also highlighted the importance of physical strength and obtaining her driver's license as personal goals. The speaker emphasized the significance of mental health and recommended treating oneself to a nice dinner, playing music, and meeting new people to help ease the transition. Affirmations, manifestation, and creating a vision board were also suggested as powerful tools for a successful move. Overall, the speaker's experience shows that with the right mindset and approach, moving can be an opportunity for personal growth and new beginnings.

    • Visualize and work towards your dreamsConsistently focus on goals through journaling, create a vision board, and believe in your ability to achieve anything.

      Creating a vision board and working towards your dreams, whether it's moving to a new apartment or city, or achieving any other goal, can be a powerful manifestation tool. Consistently focusing on your goals through daily practices like journaling can help bring them to life. The speaker, who has personally experienced this, encourages listeners to believe in their ability to achieve anything they set their minds to. Additionally, having multiple sources of income can provide financial stability and flexibility to pursue these dreams.

    e1: ALLOW MYSELF TO BE VISIBLE featuring Lydia McClain | Vocal Empowerment Coach and Breathwork Facilitator

    GIVE OURSELVES PERMISSION. ALLOW MYSELF TO BE VISIBLE.

    Lydia McClain has never been on a podcast before. And this would be my first one. It didn’t take long for us to get deep. As a vocal empowerment coach and breathwork facilitator, she has such a beautiful insight into connection, vulnerability and true intimacy.

    We talked about a sense of sovereignty, self-love and self-worth, unhealed relationship cycles, boundaries, partner healing sessions, accountability, speaking your truth, and perfection.

    In the end, no one has it all together all the time. We can still do the work while we work in the self-help industry. We’re all in this together.
    Own the beautiful mess that is me. Own my emotions. Own our moments.

    Enjoy,
