The You-est You® Podcast

Meet Dr. Joe Vitale

Dr. Joe Vitale is a spiritual teacher, a globally famous author, a marketing guru, a movie, TV, and radio personality, a musician, and one of the top 50 inspirational speakers in the world. His many bestselling books include The Attractor Factor, Attract Money Now, Zero Limits, and his latest releases, The Miracle: Six Steps to Enlightenment and Anything Is Possible. A popular, leading expert on the law of attraction in many movies, including The Secret, Dr. Vitale discovered the “missing secret” not revealed in the movie. He’s been on Larry King Live, CNN, CNBC, CBS, ABC, Fox News: Fox & Friends and Extra TV. He’s also been featured in The New York Times and Newsweek.

One of his most recent accomplishments includes being the world’s first self-help singer-songwriter, as seen in 2012's Rolling Stone Magazine®. To date, he has released 17 albums! Several of his songs were recognized and nominated for the Posi Award, regarded as “The Grammys of Positive Music.” Well-known not only as a thinker but as a healer, clearing people’s subconscious minds of limiting beliefs, Dr. Joe Vitale is also a certified Reiki healer, certified Chi Kung practitioner, certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, certified NLP practitioner, Ordained Minister, and Doctor of Metaphysical Science.  He is a seeker and a learner, once homeless, who has spent the last four decades learning how to master the powers that channel the pure creative energy of life without resistance.

Dr. Joe will inspire you to take action and believe in yourself and your dreams regardless of age or background. He started out homeless and in financial hardship for over 10 years but always stayed true to his deepest desire, which was to be a writer. If you’re struggling with self-doubt, overwhelm, or frustration because you haven’t yet manifested a goal or desire, you must listen to this episode. 

Episode Highlights

1. The one word that will change your life is persistence. Dr. Joe woke every morning and continued to write, even when no evidence was around the corner. 
2. Underneath persistence is making a powerful decision.  He decided he wanted to be an author and then set an intention and continued to believe in himself. While he lost faith occasionally, he never stopped believing in himself. 
3. It’s not too late for anything - just begin wherever you are!
4. Dr. Joe decided to become a singer-songwriter at the age of 60, with zero training or experience. He has now released 17 albums and sang on stage with some greats. Nothing is impossible.
5. Everything you want comes through other people. Life is a co-creation. You must say yes even when you don’t see the payoff or reason.
6. The Divine plant's seeds through us. Be sure to water your seeds of desire even when you have no idea how things will play out.
7. Face your fears, follow your passion, and say ‘yes’ to the Great Something.
8. Allow the Divine to strut through you!
9. Go for it, take the adventure, and do it for the experience and the joy. That’s the ultimate reward.
10. The solution to the world’s problems is kindness.

I got to sit down with one of my favorite teachers of A Course In Miracles (ACIM for short) and talk all about her 46 years of applying these teachings in her life and that of countless others. 

Hold on to your seat, my friend, as this conversation will take you for a spiritual ride that I hope helps you to release guilt, forgive everyone (including yourself), and manifest miracles.

What is ACIM?

It’s a retraining process in reorienting how we approach everything. We’re brought up to think we’re separate (we’re not) and that the material world is as it is. The material world is not material; it’s formed based on our thoughts. The physical world mirrors our inner world, a picture of our general state of mind. Your world and relationships are a 360-degree mirror. ACIM is an unlearning device to help undo faulty thoughts and become more loving, generous, kind, and compassionate.

Words of Wisdom:

• You are in charge of your life.
• We don’t want to defend ourselves, contrary to what we think or how we were raised.
• Our inherent presence remains innocent no matter what.
• What I see in others, I fear in myself.
• Everyone’s doing the best they can.
• We focus obsessively on the past and present, but the truth is that there is only now to be helpful, of service, and loving. Every second is brand new, clear, and clean.
• Forgiveness is the key; it’s not about pardoning someone. It’s letting go of our guilt and grievances. Guilt invites disaster.
• Do not make your emotions the enemy. We’ve been taught that our emotional nature is a stepchild to be banished. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Learn to befriend all of your feelings. 
• You are never a victim of anything outside of you. Your perspective is always in your hands. 

Carol Howe is an internationally recognized master teacher of A Course in Miracles and an acclaimed author with over 45 years of experience teaching, speaking, and counseling in the psycho-spiritual field. A close personal friend of co-scribe Dr. Bill Thetford, she authored an intimate biography of his life entitled Never Forget To Laugh. In addition, she has created online programs based on Course principles as well as hundreds of audio and videos. All of these products are designed to clarify ACIM principles and offer guidance and reassurance in all areas of daily living. To learn more, visit carolhowe.com

Welcome to The You-est You™ podcast, where we explore the depths of human potential and the power of spirituality. In today's episode, we have the privilege of delving into the realms of consciousness, divinity, and the unlimited possibilities that lie within each of us. Today’s guest is my mentor and dear friend, Gregg Braden, a pioneer in bridging the worlds of science and spirituality. Gregg's work has illuminated the path to unlocking our true potential and reconnecting with our innate divinity, transcending perceived human limits.

Episode Highlights:

*Defining Divinity Beyond Religion: Gregg Braden reminds us that divinity transcends the boundaries of religion. It's not about dogma; it's about recognizing the sacred essence within ourselves. When we tap into our divinity, we access a wellspring of power and potentiality often shrouded by fear and doubt.

*Consciousness as the Fertile Ground: Gregg explores the idea that consciousness is the fertile field in which our reality takes root. By nurturing our consciousness, we unlock the gateway to our divine potential. This is where our imagination, creativity, and intuition flourish.

*The World Speaking to Us: Are we truly listening to the world around us? Gregg highlights the convergence of science and consciousness, revealing how they are coming together in profound ways. This convergence invites us to pay closer attention to the subtle messages and interconnectedness of our world.

*A Time of Transformation: We're living in a time of unprecedented change, marked by social upheaval, climate challenges, and conflicts. Gregg emphasizes that this is not "business as usual." It's a pivotal moment where everything is being uprooted, presenting an opportunity for positive transformation.

*The Power of Beauty: Beauty holds a unique power—it creates coherence. Gregg reminds us that we are highly advanced soft technology, and we have the ability to self-regulate through our thoughts, breath, and emotions. Striving to see beauty in all things can be a powerful catalyst for positive change.

In this enlightening conversation with Gregg Braden, we've explored the concept of divinity as a universal essence that transcends religious boundaries. By tapping into our divinity and nurturing our consciousness, we unlock our potential for creativity, intuition, and transformation. We're reminded that the world is speaking to us, urging us to pay attention and embrace positive change in these times of extremes. As we strive to see beauty in all things, we harness the power to create coherence in our lives and in the world around us.

Thank you for joining us on this journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. If you found this episode inspiring, please share it with someone who might benefit from these profound insights. And as always, stay tuned for more enlightening conversations on The You-est You™ podcast!

Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times best-selling author, scientist, and international educator and is renowned as a pioneer in the emerging paradigm based on science, social policy, 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 his work reveals deep insights into the new human story and how the discoveries inform the policies of everyday life and the emerging world. To date, his research has led to 15 film credits and 12 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages.

Gregg is the proud recipient of numerous awards, including The Walden Award for New Thought, The Illuminate Award for Conscious Visionaries, and he is listed in the United Kingdom’s Watkins Journal among the top 100 of “the world’s most spiritually influential living people” for the 7th consecutive year.

Have you ever wondered if you’ll ever find your soul mate? Do you pray that there’s someone out there for you who is not a narcissist? Do you desperately want to feel good in your skin and happy whether or not you’re in a relationship? Are you looking to do something in your life that fills you up and makes you feel good?

If you are a yes to any of these questions, get ready to be inspired and uplifted as we delve into an incredibly inspiring journey that Dr. Kahkshan shares with authenticity, vulnerability, wit, and wisdom. 

Join us in this captivating episode, where we uncover Dr. Kahkshan’s triumphs, glean wisdom from her challenges, and embrace the transformative power of self-belief and coaching.

Meet Dr. Kahkshan Ali

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Kahkshan Ali, a Dentist, certified Life Designer® Coach, High-Performance Coach, and loving mom to a beautiful 13-year-old. Dr. Kahkshan faced her fair share of challenges in having been married to two different narcissists, being divorced twice before the age of 30, finding the love of her life at 40, and having a rainbow baby at 44. After years of creating a successful dental practice, Dr. Kahkshan decided to take her personal growth experience and become a life coach to serve other women who struggle with worthiness, confidence, and greater empowerment.

How To Overcome Challenging Times 

Dr. Kahkshan talked about the importance of doubling down on her faith and trust in God, looking for a growth opportunity, and what her part was in both failed marriages. It’s easy to blame others or feel lost in times of distress, but what can turn a bad situation into a blessing is your perspective and willingness to go deeper. She learned through her personal growth journey working with coaches that perspective is everything. 

Trust Your Intuition

One of the gifts of learning to trust your intuition is being able to tell when a situation is good or bad for you. Your intuition is your direct communication to your higher self and that of the divine. Tuning into your inner wisdom and trusting your gut instincts can guide you to being your most authentic. Looking back, Dr. Kahkshan realized she had ignored her intuition and the ensuing red flags. 

Intuition arises from our subconscious awareness, past experiences, and innate values. Make time for regular self-reflection rather than getting caught up in self-doubt or other people’s expectations. Notice when you feel energized or uneasy about a choice—that’s your intuition communicating what matters most to you. Start small by listening to your intuition around simpler decisions, building confidence in your innate wisdom over time. By checking in with your core self and daring to honor those intuitive nudges, you open the doorway to greater alignment, fulfillment, and empowerment in all facets of your life.

Why I Became A Life Coach

Dr. Kahkshan realized how powerful and healing was in her life by working with a coach and focusing on her personal growth and development. She fell in love with the coaching process and realized that life was better in all areas through coaching. She became a High-Performance Coach and then, a few years later, discovered that she wanted to refine her coaching skills and learn how to tap into her intuition as a coach. She became certified in the Life Designer® Coach Academy, a certification for conscious coaches worldwide. Dr. Kahkshan discovered her calling (or second act) as a life coach to empower women to become their most authentic, fulfilled selves. She realized that women healing from traumatic relationships need support in learning how to find love within themselves.

It’s been an honor watching Dr. Kahkshan step into her highest potential as she stands for women of all backgrounds, eager to heal, transform, and design their best lives.

Pleasure, sisterhood, and investing, oh my! Calling all my sisters! You will love this empowering conversation all about moving past the fears, blocks, and doubts of real estate investing to a much more informed understanding of the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ you have everything you need to get in the game. Kathy O’Neill, Crissy Freeman & Dr. Priti Chandran are powerful examples of what’s possible in building wisdom and intergenerational wealth to leave a more extraordinary legacy. 

Are you eager to do something that matters and feels good? Have you considered your next chapter, like helping people and getting a life coach certification? Wondering if you have what it takes to pivot and do something new or different? 

There’s a reason that the realm of coaching is on the rise. The art and skill of coaching one, when trained properly, can lead to inner transformation and positive life changes. In this episode, I sat down with a few of my Life Designer® coaches, who now use their gifts and skills to help various kinds of people get unstuck, unstoppable, and unleashed. 

Each of these women is truly stepping into their best self and becoming their ‘You-est You’ as a powerful coach on a mission to help others break free from self-doubt, lack of confidence, and worthiness.

Key Takeaways:

• It’s important to realize we all have blind spots and to get support in removing them.
• Listening is a superpower you can develop. 
• You don’t need to (and never will) have it all together to become a life coach.
• Coaching is really about helping others to see their greatness.
• The answers are within each of us; learn how to do this for yourself and others.
• You can stop the negative self-talk and stories and rewrite your next chapter. 
• It’s never too late, and you’re never too old to pivot careers.
• To serve others, you must be of service to yourself. Self-care is crucial if you want to give to others.

Meet the Panel of Life Designer® Coaches

Kathy O'Neill

Kathy is a Life Designer® Transition Coach who supports clients with big life changes.

With a master's degree in public health from Yale University, her first career focused on the administration of public and private healthcare systems. Her second and longest career started in Manhattan, where she began producing TV commercials, web video content, and short documentaries. Kathy's third career as a transition coach draws on aspects from her first two careers: the focus on serving others from her healthcare experience, and from her years as a producer, the deep listening skills required to discern what's important to her clients and setting up systems to bring to fruition what has been learned from that deep listening and the story behind the person. 

Dr. Priti Chandran

Dr. Priti Chandran is a former dentist turned Life Designer® coach. She helps stressed and overwhelmed individuals and their teams bring more calm and ease in all environments using mental fitness coaching as a tool. As a South Asian American, she’s no stranger to sacrifice and persistence. After leaving a successful career as a dentist, Priti found clarity while lost in the fog of doubt and unworthiness with the help of her coaches. She thrives in creating community and facilitating safe spaces for individuals to learn, grow & transform.

Crissy Freeman

Crissy is a certified Life Designer® Coach who empowers women to say yes to themselves and return to the driver’s seat after divorce.

Are you finding yourself about to start a new chapter in your life? Wondering if it’s too late to start anew in midlife? Feeling like you might be ready to pivot in your career, relationship, health, or goals?

If you relate to any of these questions or are right in the middle of midlife, this episode is for you. I interviewed a wonderful former coaching client who is on a mission to help women in midlife rediscover their most important relationship, the one with themself, and how to attract their ideal partner. 

Meet Laurie James

Laurie James is a mother, divorcée, recovering caregiver turned author, relationship coach, and podcaster. Her debut memoir, Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go, is about family, marriage, parenting, being an adoptee, and caring for elderly parents, but most importantly, it’s about her journey from feeling alone most of her life to finding belonging. Now, she helps women in midlife and beyond find the freedom to redesign their relationships and lives to experience more joy and happiness and make the most of their second or third act. Laurie is a mother of 4 adult daughters, a free spirit, and a lover of nature, skiing, and sailing. 

Key Takeaways:

• Getting support is okay, especially when you are a coach, therapist, or healer.
• Pay attention to your inner nudges. They are here to guide you for a deeper reason. Don’t dismiss them even when they seem illogical.
• You’re worth the time, energy, and investment in getting the support or coaching you need to do your inner work and design your next act.
• When relationships or careers fall apart, it’s important to lovingly turn the mirror on ourselves to understand our part better.  
• Make the most of your 3rd (or 4th) act! We all deserve peace, freedom, and happiness.

Take the Free Intuition Quiz To Find Out Your Unique Superpower

Have you ever been to a therapist or a coach? Are you curious to know what the difference is? Did you know that although they are different modalities, there are more similarities than you might think? 

In this episode, I brought back my dear friend and colleague, Molly Carmel, a psychotherapist and certified Life Designer® coach, to dive deep into a fascinating topic that often sparks curiosity and confusion: the difference between therapy and coaching. Join us as we unravel these two transformative paths toward personal growth and mental well-being.

Molly and I had such a real and raw conversation about authenticity, doing the inner work, the surprising power of coaching, and why she chose to go through the Life Designer® Coach certification program. 

Meet Molly Carmel

Molly Carmel, LCSW-R is a leading addictions and eating disorder therapist and Founder of The Beacon Program (Beacon by MC), which offers individual and group solutions to help people break free from their destructive relationships with food and dieting. Known for her irreverent, “straight talk, no chaser” attitude, she’s also the author of the innovative book Breaking Up with Sugar: A Plan to Divorce the Diets, Drop the Pounds, and Live Your Best Life and the host of the podcast, What You're Craving. Molly has made it her life’s mission to help people find a sustainable solution to the battle of obesity and related eating disorders. After battling an eating disorder for over 20 years and finding no solution in available treatment, she began her professional path and has never looked back. In addition to her extensive training in Substance Use and Eating Disorders, Molly is intensively trained in and has an undying love for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. She is also a certified Life Designer® Coach, trained shaman, Reiki healer, and certified Tibetan bowl singing practitioner. 

How Does Coaching and Therapy Differ 

First off, I like to say that coaching and therapy are like PB & J; they go beautifully together and are respectfully a distinct healing modality. While therapy and life coaching share some common aims, their approaches differ. 

Both support self-insight and positive change. However, therapy focuses on addressing psychological challenges and trauma and diagnosing mental health issues. There is a greater focus on one’s past and understanding, expressing, and healing past traumas and challenges. 

Life coaching complements therapy by starting with the client’s existing strengths and helping them set and achieve personal and professional goals for the future. There is a greater focus on the present and future, using the past to learn, grow, and harvest lessons. Coaches take a forward-moving, solutions-oriented, growth-oriented approach. The coaching relationship centers on accountable, empowered clients ready to create the life they want. 

However, coaches recognize when clinical therapy is the right step. The two modalities can work powerfully together, with therapy helping people overcome obstacles from the past and coaching propelling them toward the life they aspire to create. Ultimately, both therapy and coaching are powerful tools for transformation.

Thinking of Becoming a Spiritual Life Coach?

Want to do something that fulfills a higher purpose? Eager to put your head on the pillow at night, feeling like you’re doing good in the world? Do others naturally confide in you and share their deepest, dark secrets? If so, you need to check out the Life Designer® Coach Academy, a spiritual life coach certification that will give you the necessary tools, framework, proven practices, guidance, and experience to become masterful as a life coach.

Do you feel like you just can’t meditate no matter what you do? Maybe you’ve been told you have a monkey mind that won’t calm down. Or it feels impossible to sit still and be present with your breath and thoughts. 

In this conversation with luminary Light Watkins, we talk all about how to find peace, calm, and serenity within your mind, and yes, through the proven power of meditation. Light shares a wealth of wisdom and teaching about how to change the way you view your mind, body and spirit, especially as it relates to meditation and finding true and lasting inner peace.

Meet Light Watkins

Light Watkins is a long-time meditation teacher and thought leader who has spoken and consulted at Fortune 500 companies worldwide on wellness, purpose, and enlightened leadership. He is the author of three best-sellers: The Inner Gym, Bliss More, and Knowing Where to Look, as well as the soon-to-be-released Travel Light: Spiritual Minimalism to Live a More Fulfilled Life. Light has written a daily dose of inspirational emails to tens of thousands of subscribers. He is the host of The Light Watkins Show, which is a podcast that features the backstory of luminaries who’ve created platforms for social good. In his online community, The Happiness Insiders, Light has created masterclasses and challenges to help spiritual practitioners around the globe embody the principles of “inner” work. Light is a “one-bagger” who has been living nomadically since 2018.

Key Takeaways:

• Take hope of faith.
• Give what you want to receive.
• We’ve told ourselves we can’t meditate, but this isn’t true. Start by sitting comfortably and making friends with your thoughts. Think of your mind as an ally.
• Don’t let your fear of other opinions stop you from becoming your authentic self, i.e., your ‘You-est You.’
• Investigating your internal emotional baggage is always the root cause of where, in doing more profound work, you’ll find your inner zen, peace, and serenity
• To travel light, stop carrying around the past. The richest information about tomorrow is in today’s moment.

Meet Monick Halm

Monick Halm is the founder of Real Estate Investor Goddesses. She is an educator and advocate for female real estate investors and has a mission to help 1 million women achieve financial freedom through real estate. Monick is herself a real estate investor and syndicator and owns, together with her investors, over 1000 rental doors across thirteen states. 

She is a graduate of McGill University and Columbia Law School.  She is the #1 bestselling author of The Real Estate Investor Goddess Handbook and Invest Like a Goddess - Advice from the Most Successful Women in Real Estate, a TEDx speaker, podcast host, real estate strategy mentor, yogi, world traveler, recovered attorney, wife, and mother of three amazing kids. 

Monick grew up with two parents from Haiti who emphasized the importance of getting a good education and becoming either a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. Monick chose to be a lawyer but soon realized that she did not like the profession and found it to be soul-sucking. It wasn’t until she was let go while pregnant with her first child that she realized the blessing of being given the freedom to try her hand at real estate investing. This blessing in disguise gave her the ability to start her business which now educates millions of women on how to invest like a goddess.

Investing Like A Goddess

Real Estate investing is not one size fits all. Monick shared a great metaphor to help you figure out your investment vision and how to reverse engineer it. She shared that if you were going on a vacation, you’d first figure out where you want to go. Do you want to travel abroad to the South of Frances (yes, please!), the pyramids in Egypt, the grand canyon, or perhaps a beach in Cape Cod? Like planning a vacation, you’ll want to figure out your vision. For example, do you want enough passive income to retire from any job? Perhaps you want to be set for retirement and have a significant nest egg, or maybe you want to leave a fantastic legacy for your children’s children’s children. Clarify your vision first.

Next, you’ll want to address what kind of trip you’re taking. Are you going to be on a cruise, biking through the Alps, riding in an RV, flying first class, or perhaps hiking? Similarly, it’s important to understand and choose the investing options that fit your greater vision, which might be investing in buildings, syndications, duplexes, single-family homes, etc. 

Lastly, you need to know what resources you have available and how to leverage them. We talked about how having resources doesn’t always mean money. It could be your time, your relationships, or even your experience 

Why Women Fear Investing

In the past, it was dangerous for women to own their power. It wasn’t until 1974 that women could get their own loans without having a man accompany them. Often the fear stems from not being sure how to invest in real estate or where to begin. Monick wants you to know that this is something anyone can do, whether you grew up on food stamps or with a family who owned real estate. Check out her free training on her website to learn more and get started, and get her book, Invest Like a Goddess. It’s time for us women to build our own wealth, stability, and financial security. 

The Goddess Secret Sauce

1) Pleasure - The new reframe is ‘Pleasure through’ vs. ‘Muscle through.’ Don’t try to muscle through anything. This hyper-masculine way of doing life will lead you to exhaustion. Pleasure does NOT mean comfort, though. Remember, there is no growth in a comfort zone or comfort in a growth zone. Prioritizing pleasure is revolutionary and often uncomfortable. 

2) Intuition - this is your life GPS! Don’t expect your intuition to be logical. It doesn’t run on logic, and rather, it is your direct line to your Higher Power that will show you the path best for you. The goal here is to learn to trust your intuition fully.

3) Mindset - your fears and limiting beliefs will keep you stuck and held back from abundance if not addressed. Much of your success will come from healing and moving past worn-out stories and beliefs that are not true. 

4) Sisterhood - women are biologically wired for community and sisterhood. We are not meant to do life (or investing) alone. Scientific research shows that women experience a release of oxytocin, the feel-good hormone, with intimacy, breastfeeding, and in the community. We learn better and get out of the stress state quicker in sisterhood. 

The Abundant Path

I love how Monick reminded us that we’ll always have challenges and problems; it’s part of how we learn and grow. The choice is whether you want rich life problems or poor life problems. Don’t forget that you get to choose; her suggestion is to choose the abundant path!

Basic Principles of the Law of Attraction:

A review for those of you who might need a law of attraction refresher.

1. Thoughts Become Things: The Law of Attraction is based on the belief that your thoughts have a powerful influence on your reality. Positive thoughts attract positive outcomes, while negative thoughts may manifest negative experiences.
   
2. Energy and Vibration: Everything in the universe is made up of energy, and each thought and emotion carries its unique vibration. When you emit positive vibrations through your thoughts and emotions, you are more likely to attract positive experiences.
   
3. Focus and Intention: The Law of Attraction emphasizes the importance of focusing on what you want to manifest in your life rather than dwelling on what you don't want. By setting clear intentions and maintaining a positive focus, you align yourself with the desired outcomes.

Meet Miriam Schulman

Miriam Schulman is an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where she helps other artists learn how to profit from their passion or become better artists. She’s helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. Her art and story have been featured in major publications, including Forbes, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine, What Women Create, as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Schulman’s book Artpreneur came out earlier this year. The Inspiration Place podcast is in the top 1% of all podcasts and is listened to in over 100 countries.

Stop Abandoning Your Inner Artist

It’s time to stop abandoning your inner creativity. We all have a creative side to our souls. Art matters to the world, especially during and after times of collective crisis. Art gives meaning to life and is a representation of each of our unique divine perspectives. Now, before you start challenging me that you’re not that creative or an artist, I will challenge you to look deep inside and see that as a child of the Creator, you are inherently born to create.  

In this episode, I spoke with a champion of artists and creatives (that’s all of us) on how to honor your creative spirit, be it in business or even as a fun hobby. Join me here for a deep convo with Miriam, all about honoring your inner artist.

Overcoming A Poverty Mindset

Our brains have been programmed for safety. The more creative you are, the more you’ll come up with stories to not take action or go for it. The same goes for the age-old concept of a starving artist and the idea that to be a creative, you must be poor, starve, or play small. Examine any messages you carry about whether it’s self-indulgent or unrealistic to nurture your talents. A poverty mindset limits us from seeing the abundance we have to offer. What “enoughness” would enable you to claim your place as an artist? Your gifts don’t need to be perfect or fully formed to contribute beauty and meaning.

Stop Procrastinating

Like any entrepreneurial endeavor, an artpreneurial mindset requires vision, grit, savvy, and faith in yourself. Remind yourself regularly why your art matters—to you and those who need it. Your creative work is sacred, even if it feels scary to share it. Start by dedicating small amounts of time daily to your art. Schedule it as you would other essential commitments. Overcome resistance and distractions knowing that momentum builds when you show up consistently.

Stop procrastinating and make your creativity a priority. Procrastination erodes trust in yourself.  

You Are Creative

You may be surprised what opens up when you commit fully to your inner artist and creativity. The creator created you to shine and share your specific gifts. By nature, you are creative, and the world needs your unique creative genius—now more than ever.

Meet Marianne Williamson

Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, political activist, and spiritual thought leader. She has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles for over three decades. She is the author of 15 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 14 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger, and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supports the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. Williamson ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020. And she’ll be running for president again in 2024! To learn more about how you can support Marianne, go to: Marianne2024.com

This conversation was one I’d been waiting to have for years. I became a fan of Marianne’s years ago when I read her book Illuminata and became interested in A Course In Miracles. Marianne is known for her brilliant wisdom, spiritual teachings, and social justice work based on the principles from A Course In Miracles. I recently read Marianne’s book, "A Politics of Love: A Handbook for a New American Revolution," and was overwhelmed by her visionary perspective on bridging the gap between spirituality and politics. We discussed the tenets in the book and how to start shifting our relationship to politics and ourselves through the practical application of love, well-being for all, and social justice. 

Love as a Transformative Force

Marianne Williamson asserts that love is not merely a personal or romantic sentiment but a powerful force for positive societal change. We discussed how politics devoid of love and compassion perpetuates division and suffering, while politics grounded in love can heal and transform. This is as basic as seeing a child who’s hungry and feeding them. We are wired for love and compassion, yet somewhere along the line lose this innate connection. 

Moral and Spiritual Awakening

Marianne calls for a moral and spiritual awakening among individuals and society, as a whole. This means changing our internal narrative of not being political, which I can relate to. She is urging us to take a stand for democracy, or we seriously risk losing our freedom. Marianne believes an inner transformation is essential for addressing the pressing challenges we face collectively, such as inequality, environmental degradation, and social injustice. This brings us to why we must all do our inner work to heal past traumas, resentments, and grievances. In other words, you must do your part to be your ‘You-est You’ before we can be our ‘We-est We.’ 

Politics as an Expression of Love

Marianne also encourages individuals to engage in politics to express their deepest values and spiritual beliefs. She emphasizes the importance of aligning political choices with personal integrity, empathy, and a commitment to the common good. Love in action is how we commit to greater social justice and economic equality. This means we do our inner work to address systemic injustices perpetuating poverty, racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression. I love that Marianne focuses on love-based politics that can bring about meaningful change and create a more equitable society. As she shared in this interview, let us not forget Abraham Lincoln’s poignant quote, “With malice toward none with charity for all.”

Taking Personal Responsibility 

Don’t underestimate your importance and power in creating greater change for freedom, justice, and joy for everyone. Marianne stands for putting "A Politics of Love" into action by embracing the question, ‘What is the most loving thing you can do here?’, and a commitment to social justice. She takes a holistic viewpoint toward transforming our society and country. 

It’s Time We All Do Shadow Work

Doing shadow work means meeting the challenging and triggering parts of ourselves that need, want, and require our compassion, attention, and love. What is needed on an individual level is also needed at a collective level. We discussed the necessity of our society owning that in addition to our inner shadows, ego-based judgments, and ‘attack thoughts’, we also have this work to do on a national and collective level. This is something that we can all strive to do every time we embrace a challenging situation or person with love, understanding, and true forgiveness.

Your Thoughts Feed The Quantum Field

Whether or not you might realize it, everything about you is made of energy, including your thoughts. Your thoughts, whether kind, heart-centered, resentful, mean, or lacking hope, will feed your mind and body and the larger field of energy around you. Our thoughts contribute to greater collective consciousness. I like to think about it like the old cartoons where you’d see thought bubbles above the character’s head. Imagine if you combined all the thought bubbles around our heads into one giant thought bubble. That’s what the collective consciousness is — one massive thought bubble of energy and emotion generated by you and me. This means that what you’re thinking and saying to yourself matters not only for your mind, body, and emotional well-being but also for the collective. Pretty powerful, right?!

How To Stop Your Negative Thoughts

We all experience in the ballpark of 70,000 thoughts a day. Many of these thoughts are negative, throw-away thoughts that don’t add value or support to your self-esteem. The problem is that over time it’s easy to start believing your negative thoughts, which leads to a cascade of negative consequences affecting your well-being and life. There is a way out, and it starts with greater awareness. 

The simple way to know when you’ve treaded in dangerous negative thought territory is by how you feel. If a thought has you feeling overwhelmed, angry, resentful, envious, or lacking energy, you know that you’re in the neighborhood of unhelpful thoughts. If thought is life-giving and for your highest good, you’ll feel greater vitality, energy, and positivity.  Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor talked about this in past interviews in our conversation about her brilliant book, Whole Brain Living. She reminds us that we are emotional beings first, who then think. 

This means that your emotions are excellent indications of the kinds of thoughts you are having. The good news is that once you learn how to become an observer and get out of judgment, you can develop the ability to change your thoughts quickly.

This transformative episode taught us the importance of overcoming self-criticism for mental well-being and personal growth. By embracing our imperfections, cultivating self-compassion, and building a solid support system, we can break free from the chains of self-criticism and embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Becoming your ‘You-est You’ is a lifelong journey worth pursuing.

Meet Chef Whitney Aronoff

Whitney Aronoff is a Health Supportive Personal Chef in Laguna Beach, California. Passionate about wellness, the vibration of food, and supporting others in living their best life. Chef Whitney attended culinary school at The Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City and went on to work at farm-to-table restaurants in New York and Newport Beach.  As a personal chef, she prepares custom meals and dinner parties for her clients and shares her seasonal recipes on Starseed Kitchen. In 2020, Chef Whitney launched a line of organic spice blends, sharing the custom seasonings her family has been enjoying for years.  

Knowing that a healthy diet is just one layer of being well, in 2021, she launched the podcast High Vibration Living With Chef Whitney Aronoff. She interviews experts on healthy eating, cooking, wellness, beauty, travel, and spirituality to help others find the modalities and tips to help them feel their best.  

The healthiest meal you can eat is the one you make at home. Chef Whitney aims to invite people into their kitchen, feeling empowered to make healthy choices for themselves and their loved ones and to experience high-vibration living.

Starting From Scratch

In 2014 Whitney was working as an HR manager for a company in Washington, DC, feeling a total lack of passion and excitement. She describes this experience as losing her spark and deciding to go on a quest to find out what lit her up. In doing this inner work, she rediscovered her inner girl, who loved food, health, well-being, and playing with food. She realized she wanted to attend culinary school and follow her passion for healthy food and cooking. After being let go from her position in HR, which she later saw as a blessing in disguise, Whitney enrolled in the Natural Gourmet Kitchen culinary program in New York City and changed up her entire routine and life by starting from scratch. With a blowup mattress, a few suitcases, and her books, Whitney headed for the Big Apple and immersed herself in culinary school and all things healing and health related to the culinary world.

Handling Forks In The Road

In starting from scratch to build her new life and business, Whitney shared the wisdom that building something viable and truly serving your niche takes time. After culinary school, Whitney had a fantastic job in New York, working for a well-known restaurant group, learning and enhancing her skills in various areas. Again, she found herself at another fork in the road when her father invited her to return to Southern California, rent-free, and try her own business. Chef Whitney decided to take the opportunity and learned another important lesson; it’s ok to change and start new again. From this place of starting, she has built Starseed Kitchen, a successful organic spice blend company, a personal chef business, and a thriving show called The High Vibe Living podcast. 

Changing Up The Recipe In Life

It’s not only ok to change up your recipe in life but also to embrace that what you enjoy doing, experiencing, and eating now is probably different than twenty years ago. Our spiritual and inner growth need to allow for greater flow, change, and ease. She is learning now that it’s time again to shift her energy and focus and spend more time on her self-care and reassess how she’s working and serving others. This is a great reminder for us all to be open to the ebb and flow of life and natural shifts of innate growth and change. The important thing is to trust when it’s time to change the recipe, and just like you might head into a kitchen with a variety of ingredients, let yourself play with what feels right and see what your soul comes up with. You never know what this next recipe will bring to your life and others.

Meet Adair Cates

Adair Cates, one of my very dear friends, is a mom of twin girls, XCHANGE facilitator, Conscious Leadership trainer, and coach passionate about doing the inner work to be our best selves. Adair has designed and facilitated thousands of one-on-one and group conversations to unlock potential, promote well-being and accelerate sustained change.  Using the strengths-based XCHANGE approach, Adair has led everything from team engagement events in organizations like Microsoft and Meta (Facebook) to online TedX gatherings, multi-day women’s retreats, and organization-wide Conscious Leadership development trainings. She’s a master experience designer and facilitator and a certified Heartmath Resilience Trainer with 15+ years of experience in adult education, leadership development, and mindfulness. She is the author of two self-development books, Live with Intention and Fully Engaged.

In this episode, I talked with Adair Cates, my dear friend, about living life on life’s terms and how she has moved through and been healing her nervous system, body, and mind after experiencing incredible loss. We often discuss spiritual and energy practices that help us stay regulated, resourced, and grounded. One of the biggest learnings on both parts is slowing down. Adair reminds us that we can attract instead of hustle and that relationships are more than just getting shit done. 

Regulating Your Nervous System

Adair sadly lost her co-parenting partner and father to her twin daughters two years ago. She dealt with a degenerative eye condition that had her stop driving and other daily activities. Learning to regulate her nervous system was crucial to handling the grief, stressor, and loss as a mom to two young girls. Adair talked about the healing effects of techniques like breathwork, meditation, kundalini yoga, and other self-care practices promoting nervous system regulation.

Giving Yourself Space To Have All Your Feelings

One of the gifts from so much grief and loss was learning to give herself the space to experience and have all of her feelings. This is an excellent reminder for us that rather than running away, numbing out, or trying to avoid upsetting feelings, we want to learn how to create a compassionate space to feel whatever it is your feeling. Cultivating a kind and loving space for yourself can make all the difference in your healing journey, whether you’re experiencing loss, grief, or a challenge. 

How Curiosity Can Heal

One aspect of healing that so many overlooks is the power of curiosity. I teach this in my spiritual life coaching certification, and we discussed the healing aspect of questions because questions unlock new possibilities and affirmations. An example might be to ask yourself amidst a challenging time, ‘How might this be a blessing’? By embracing a curious mindset, Adair started to change how she viewed her eye diagnosis, new life circumstances, and life changes.

Sacred feminine friendships are all about authentic connections nourishing the soul and creating space for deep empathy, vulnerability, unconditional support, and love. I pray you also find sacred feminine friendships where you can grow together, share heartbreaks and celebrations, and be your most authentic self.

If you are a ‘giver’, have struggled with icky beliefs about money and prosperity, or feel uncomfortable with a masculine version of sales, this episode is for YOU. Listen closely to this deep conversation with Elyse Archer, a dear friend and badass woman leader, who shares how to change your prosperity thermostat and create sales using feminine energy and the power of your divine purpose. 

She shares these feminine principles of receiving with us in this episode. 

The Power Is In Deciding

Elyse decided to change her money mindset; this commitment and a full-out decision changed everything. You can’t be wishy-washy about your decisions; you need to go all in and decide that ‘fine’ and ‘ok’ are not good enough in this one lifetime. 

Your Desires Are Green Lights

Elyse’s essential lesson was learning to trust herself and her intuition. This has also been one of my greatest lessons. To truly flourish and thrive, you must start developing a relationship with yourself that is based on love, kindness, and trust. 

Learning How To Sell With Wholeness

Elyse shares her story of being trained in sales from a highly masculine perspective, leading to extreme exhaustion, burnout, overwhelm, emptiness, and despair. Maybe you, too, can relate to your training or job expectations. She realized that her soul sought wholeness and a new spiritual center point where she could be of service and raise her impact and prosperity level. Elyse went from a $100,000 year to making $100,000 each month and realized that serving and selling from the heart and learning how to receive was life-changing and prosperous. 

While she had a lovely house and fancy things, she didn’t feel lit up or whole inside. It wasn’t until she invested in herself and got a coach and support to help her create a new paradigm for her identity and life. Additionally, Elyse learned firsthand that what was missing was learning to sell from wholeness. From a new feminine approach where the focus was on being comfortable with receiving and greater visibility. The reminder is to understand that all is based on energy and how you feel about yourself. If you’re coming from an aligned place of wholeness, connection, and trust, you will begin to feel that, and the world around you can’t help but emulate this transformation.

Learning to Receive

Your level of income will never go beyond your level of self-worth. Read that again and take it in. This is everything! Most of us miss genuinely learning how to receive and feeling worthy of receiving, be it a compliment, money, greater visibility, acknowledgment, or an opportunity. The key point is learning how to generate abundance from the inside first.

Meet Julie Reisler

Julie Reisler, Voted ‘Top 10 Most Influential Life Coaches in 2023,’ hosts the You-est You™ podcast, which is now in over 175 countries. Julie is a board-certified master life coach with over ten years of coaching experience and a master's degree in health & wellness coaching from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Julie is the Life Designer® Coach Academy founder, a spiritual life coach certification, and a professor at Georgetown University. She is the author of Get a PhD in YOU, an Amazon top-pick, and has been featured in Forbes magazine, MindBodyGreen, Bustle, The Chopra Center, and Thrive Global. Julie is also a prominent teacher, course creator, and guide on the popular app Insight Timer.  In this episode, we are exploring the transformative power of visualization, and lucky you, as you’ll get to experience a guided visualization. In today's episode, we dive deep into how visualization can help you imagine and manifest your best future self.

Welcome to another episode of the You-est You podcast, where we embark on a heartfelt journey of self-discovery and personal growth. In today's solo conversation, we dive deep into the transformative power of finding your inner beauty and what it truly means to be your ‘You-est You.’ Get ready to be inspired as we explore this empowering topic.

Honoring Your You-est You®

Do you ever stop to see and feel the incredible beauty within you, my friend? I mean the inexplicable, sacred, awe-inspiring beauty that lives in you and is you? If you’re like me, you probably wake up most mornings bypassing this thought as you prepare for the day, pour your coffee, and make sure you’ve put on clean clothes. 

For those of you who studied Latin, ‘est’ means ‘are.’ So, in essence, your You-est You is all about being who you are, owning your gifts and unique qualities, and allowing yourself to be fully self-expressed as you are. 

In this episode, I share my realization about the healing power of beauty that changed my perspective (which we know leads to miracles), beliefs, and energy. Tune in to learn how to reconnect with your inner beauty. 

Listening To Your Soul

Don’t underestimate the power of listening to your inner voice and what your inner desires are pointing to. To hear what your soul is saying, you must have a healthy dose of self-love, compassion, and trust in yourself and your inner guidance. I share some of the recent stories where I followed my nudges and the external signs and synchronicities to find deeper meaning and direction.

Getting Back On The Mat

I took a good year and a half off from doing yoga after hurting my back in 2022. I was an avid yogi, and taking this time off was highly challenging for me; however, it was a blessing in disguise as I allowed my relationship with my body to heal and transform how I showed up on the mat. What used to be a high-geared workout with flowing movements in between has become a loving and mindful practice of breath, flow in whatever way my body feels best, and profound gratitude for being able to move. My nervous system is much happier, my back is healing, and most importantly, I have stopped the comparison match and am showing up for my practice of breathing with grace, joy, intention, and union (which is the definition of yoga). I pray that you can get back on the mat, be it yoga or any other area of life where you have needed to reset. 

Beauty Is A Love Language

For years I experienced shame and guilt about my love of beauty. Somehow, growing up in a hyper-intellectual realm, I felt beauty wasn’t important, necessary, or valuable. And I’m not just talking about outer appearances, although I love a gorgeous dress or stunning necklace. I mean the beauty found in nature, art, food, writing that flows, dance, synchronicity, and, yes, aesthetics as well. What is often missing is the appreciation of our inner beauty – the beauty of our spirit. I recently had a realization I wanted to share with you. To experience more extraordinary beauty in your life, you have first to be able to spot it in yourself. We are all beautiful because we are all made from the same divine creator. This beauty is timeless, shapeless, and irrelevant to age or external qualities. Remember that your true essence, your ‘You-est You,’ shines brightest when you love and accept yourself fully.

Meet Sue Ludwig

Sue Ludwig is a sought-after speaker, consultant, and writer. A licensed occupational therapist and certified neonatal therapist, she is president and founder of the National Association of Neonatal Therapists (NANT), where she uses a blend of clinical expertise, innovation, and leadership to support the advancement of this specialized field on a global level.  Sue is the media expert in neonatal therapy for the American Occupational Therapy Association, a member of the steering committee for the National Coalition for Infant Health, and a medical advisory board member for Hope for HIE.  She has received the Laura Edmunds Lectureship Award from UMass Memorial Medical Center, the Individual Contribution to Maternal and Child Health Award from the National Perinatal Association, the Entreleadership Momentum Award from Ramsey Solutions, and the Alumni Professional Achievement Award from Eastern Kentucky University. She has also been named a Graham’s Foundation Resilience Honoree.  Sue’s book Tiny Humans, Big Lessons was published in March of 2022. Today, Sue lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her husband and a few dogs and has two grown children. 

Lessons From The NICU

You will be touched, moved, and empowered by this conversation with Sue. She shares how her years spent caring carefully for tiny humans led to some of her biggest breakthroughs and lessons. Here’s the thing, we are all made of energy. In the NICU, it was clear that helping the infants to preserve and manage their energy meant life or death. Sue realized that this is true for adults as well and shared how she applied these lessons to her own life. 

Managing Your Energy

After the devastating experience of her husband losing his job, losing their dream home and money, working two jobs, and finding out her young son was a victim of a crime, she found herself exhausted, overwhelmed, numb, and in fear mode. Let alone falling asleep in the chair getting her haircut; Sue felt like she was barely surviving. She found herself caught on a hamster wheel that she was dying to get off. The lessons she learned in the NICU helped her heal slowly, come home to herself, and shift her energy. Here are the steps that Sue and I discussed that I know can help you if you’re finding yourself in survival mode rather than thriving. 

Become aware and observe where your energy is being wasted versus invested.

Realize that you have a choice about where your energy is going.

Ask yourself, ‘What am I doing that gives me energy versus takes away my energy?’ Be honest with yourself.

Check your calendar to see where there are energy leaks, in other words, where you are doing things that are not aligned with your energy or priorities. Start to prune anything that is not giving you energy.

Like our dear mutual friend, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor says, please take responsibility for the energy you bring into the room.

Watch Your Words

The words you are saying are more powerful than you might realize. Your words are important and can change the energy in the room and within your relationships. Pay attention to the words you’re using, observe what you’re saying, and notice how you feel when you say certain things. Sue shared how she often used to say, ‘I don’t care,’ when asked about a preference, be it eating out or doing something. She realized that saying she didn’t care didn’t powerfully align with how she felt. She started to switch her words and said things like, ‘I don’t have a preference,’ which felt very different to her husband, family, and herself. 

The Power of Intentions

Intentions direct your energy. Sue realized the difference it made to setting an intention before entering the NICU and in her life. We talked about her 5-second powerful process that changed her life. I wanted to share it with you here because it’s easy to do and can make all the difference in how you feel and show up daily. 

Pause

Breathe

Check your baggage (Sue likes to imagine literally checking your luggage at the door)

Set your intention

The World Needs Your You-est You™

I truly hope this conversation gave you more permission to pause, rest, stop pushing, and watch and manage your own energy and inner state. Everyone is unique in their own way, and you certainly are here for a reason. Sue reminds us that we would never compare babies in the NICU, and we should take from this lesson and remember to stop comparing ourselves to others. You’re unlike anyone else on the planet, and it’s time to honor that. Be willing to believe in your own light, gifts, and talents. It’s time to be your ‘You-est You’!

Meet Laura Belgray

Laura Belgray is the founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure, and author of Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F'ing Worst. An award-winning copywriting expert, she helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield), she’s seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, sharing your ideas, and happily click your Buy button. In addition to online types, Laura’s list of clients and credits includes NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many more. So if you watch TV -- and don’t skip the commercials -- you've probably seen her words on air. You can get Tough Titties (and her badass bonuses) at toughtittiesbook.com.

Some Swear Words

Ok, we did get into some swear words in this episode (all in good fun, of course), so if you have little ones around, be sure to put in your earbuds or take us on a solo walk. Laura and I talked all about giving yourself a permission slip to stop trying so hard, embrace the late bloomer in you and do life YOUR way. 

This is a book you won’t be able to put down. I shared how I couldn’t stop reading it and found myself half asleep with pig lard on my face (yes, it’s a thing), glasses, and fingertips, as I earmarked almost every page and underlined more than half of the book.

Want inspiration to be a little lazy, less worried about what others think, and a reminder that you are perfect the way you are wired? If so, this is a must-listen-to episode. 

The Unfiltered Truth

Laura fearlessly confronts life's obstacles in her book, "Tough Titties” and she shares verrrrry openly about her setbacks, disappointments, and embarrassing moments that shaped her into the resilient, take-no-sh*t from anyone woman she is today.

Through her unfiltered storytelling, Laura reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and encourages us to embrace our vulnerabilities as a source of strength. Heck yes, Laura!

Unleashing Your Inner Boldness and Baddassery

"Tough Titties" will empower you to embrace your inner boldness (and badass self) and take courageous action while stopping placing your self-worth based on outside measures. Whether it’s promoting your services, products, work, or self, Laura is all about you being your ‘You-est You.’ 

This book is such a powerful and refreshing read that challenges societal norms, embraces vulnerability, and inspires us to live more vulnerably, authentically, resiliently, and boldly. In fact, it’s a stubborn refusal of who you’re supposed to be so you can be who you want to be.

Meet Lisa Barnett

Lisa Barnett is the internationally recognized #1 bestselling author of “Your Soul Has A Plan – Awaken to your life purpose through the Akashic Records,” "The Infinite Wisdom of the Akashic Record," and “From Questioning to Knowing – 73 Prayers to Transform Your Life”. She is also the Founder of the Akashic Knowing School of Wisdom, where she has taught thousands of students worldwide to access personal Soul wisdom and guidance to transform their life, working directly with their personal Akashic Record Keepers. With more than twenty-five years of experience in spiritual healing, Lisa teaches these simple tools which empower individuals to find greater fulfillment, happiness, abundance, and health. Lisa helps you align with your soul path, understand your soul contracts, and complete your karma and vows.

Exploring the Akashic Records

Lisa Barnett, Akashic Records expert, and healer, went into detail about the Akashic Records and why you will want to know about them. To begin, the Akashic Records refer to an energetic realm or a cosmic database that is said to store every thought, event, emotion, and experience that has ever occurred throughout time and space. The concept of the Akashic Records can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including the Hindu, Buddhist, and Theosophical traditions. They are believed to be a part of a collective consciousness that transcends individual human existence, providing access to information beyond our ordinary perception and offering an intriguing avenue for exploring the depths of human consciousness and the mysteries of the universe. 

Unlocking the Mysteries of Cosmic Knowledge

The Akashic Records are often described as existing on the ethereal or astral plane, a dimension beyond our physical reality and in non-linear time. In the realm of the Akashic Records, time is not perceived in a linear fashion. Past, present, and future coexist, allowing access to information from any point in time. The Records are said to encompass multiple dimensions, offering insights into various aspects of existence, including personal, planetary, and even cosmic levels. Stay with me here, as there is much more to explain why they are important for you to understand. 

Your Greater Purpose and The Akashic Records

Here’s the thing, exploring the Akashic Records can aid you in understanding your life purpose, identifying patterns, and releasing energetic blockages, leading to personal growth and healing. We discussed why Lisa wrote her book, Your Soul Has A Plan, and ways to better understand how you have multiple purposes within your life.

The idea is to gain profound spiritual insights, expand your awareness and connection to the divine, and support your soul's evolution. Accessing the collective knowledge of the Akashic Records can provide guidance in helping you navigate challenges, promote unity, and create positive change.

Stop Judging Yourself and Start Loving Yourself

Here’s what Lisa shared that hopefully will help you to understand your greater work and life purpose better. You have your own Akashic library with record keepers. They want you to know how much love they have for you and thank you for all you are doing now to make a positive impact in the world. A reminder: it’s not your job to save the world. It is your job to heal and save yourself and do the best you can. Ideally, it’s about being more in the flow and letting go of beliefs that aren’t yours. Most importantly, stop judging yourself, and don’t judge anything you’ve done. You’ve come to learn and share with others. Stay in your heart, engage in plenty of self-care, and self-love is crucial.
