Earn Your Happy

Show Notes:

Joy and grief exist together on the same highway. While holding my dream event, my best friend and puppy, Waffles, passed away. If you’re in a good place right now, don’t worry, this will only make it better. And if you’re experiencing grief and loss, I express my deepest sorrow for you. In the process of experiencing pain and loss, I’m also noticing my heart expanding in love as well.

Review of the Week:

AmandaLeeSouthernSoul

"More than just a podcast! “Earn Your Happy” is amazing . Not only is it incredible alone - making me laugh, cry and feel like I’m connected to a supportive community, but is a gateway to new podcasts, inspirational people to follow on instagram along with adding to my ever growing book collection! I binge at work and get those weird looks when I bust out laughing at Lori and Evans (whatever totally worth it) and constantly take notes from the amazing guests on the show. This has truly been such a blessing that I stumbled upon casually looking through podcasts one day.

So grateful for this podcast to bring me back down from the stories I tell myself that are not true, get back into my higher self mindset and be my authentic self with no apologies!"

Atticus, the two-time anonymous best-selling author has taken the world by storm with his beautiful poetry and his powerful themes of love and strength of the human spirit.

Question Highlights:

-How did your environment feed who you are now?

In today’s “questionably awesome” episode, Evans and I are talking about goals. We cover goal-setting at work, setting an intention to find joy in your life and how to meet your reading goals.

Review of the Week:

MsLids

Another aha moment thanks to Lori and Evans! Whenever I need some inspiration, laughter or an aha moment, I tune into Earn Your Happy, and usually there is always something in an episode that is exactly what I need to hear. I was listening to Evans and Lori talk about pivots and Lori was sharing the story about baby sea turtles and it was the aha, calming advice I needed. You see I’m a mom to a 14 year old middle schooler that has really struggled this year and my momma bear has wanted to come in and “fix” it. Hearing that the turtles need to struggle on land so they can survive in the sea was a great analogy for parenting middle school girls. This struggle is part of her learning how to figure things out and my job is to provide her with the tools to help but not do it for her. Thanks as always for the motivation!!

Question 1:

Morgan

I took a job recently that feels like the right thing right now, but as soon as a better opportunity comes up I want to take it. How do I do that without feeling guilty about leaving my current job?

This episode is with my husband, Chris Harder. He interviewed me for our end-of-year wrap on his show, For The Love Of Money, and I liked it so much I decided to share it with you. It is all about the things that we are going to be doing - and not doing - to become the next version of ourselves. Tag us on Instagram and tell us what you’re going to start, stop, face and embrace in 2020.

Question Highlights:

-What are you gonna start doing?

-What are you gonna stop doing?

-What are you going to embrace?

Guest Bio:

After an 11-year career as an executive and partner in the banking industry, Chris experienced plenty of success, however he severely lacked fulfillment – and was completely burned out. Recognizing that a change needed to be made, he retired from banking in 2011 and partnered with his wife, Lori, and her brand, LoriHarder.com, along with their Isagenix network marketing business. Chris now handles most of the business affairs and business coaching for their two multimillion dollar brands, and has found exactly the fulfillment and happiness he was seeking in a career.

Chris is the host of the new hit podcast, “For the Love of Money”, aimed at helping people bust through their money mindset blocks to become unapologetic about their pursuit of wealth. It is through interviewing business moguls and celebrities and exposing their exciting stories of contribution and philanthropy that he helps prove that money is a tool for good in a world with many needs.

Show Notes:

It’s almost time for the new year, and we get to choose how we feel about it. There is so much beautiful energy around 2020 of manifesting what you want and getting rid of what you don't want. A lot of times I fail at reaching my goals because I’m prioritizing things that are less important or not important or things that I don't actually want, and I get stuck in the busy work. And the more and more clear that I've gotten about letting go of things, the more I’ve been able to focus on what matters. I want you to ask some simple questions:

-What needs to go?

-Who do you need to say no to?

-What do you need to stop doing?

-What do you need to let go of in order to make room for what you want?

I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

Maybe you’re not doing the things to hold yourself accountable to your goals, like telling people or putting money down. Maybe you don’t have enough willpower left at the end of the day to focus on another thing and you need to prioritize self-care so that you can be the person who can achieve your goals. Wherever you’re at, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Just know that things are working even when they feel like they're not working and all you need to know is, you’ve got this.

My Cup of Energy & Life in the Mornings! Good morning Lori and Evans (btw, love your name!)! Just wanted to start off by saying that you two are my pick-me-up for the rest of the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays as I am driving to class - especially in Phoenix traffic!

Keep on being your authentic selves and I will continue to do the same. Much Love, Chandler Derby

KarlBird18 ★★★★★ "

The Earn Your Happy podcast is the fuel for my fire and never fails to bring a spark of joy into my life (a big spark!). Every Wednesday morning, Lori and Evans join me for my morning workout, motivating me to keep working on my dreams in their fun and silly ways. On more than one occasion, people stop to ask me why I’m smiling and giggling so much during my workout and I love to recommend the podcast to them. My friends and I have inside jokes inspired by Lori and Evan’s witty conversations (Jugernut 😂) and I feel like we’re all one big tribe cheering on each other’s dreams and celebrating our authenticity. Whenever I’m feeling anxious or down on myself, I’ll re-visit Lori’s quickies for an instant dose of motivation or the Questionably Awesome episodes to remind me that life is meant to be enjoyed! I have it on my vision board to one day meet Lori and Evans and to attend the Bliss Project! Thank you both for shining and sharing your irreplaceable awesomeness! Chelsey Bird

Show Notes:

To live the life you want, you have to change your mindset. You have to be able to let go of the things that have happened to you. You have to have the mindset to be able to forgive yourself and others. It’s so easy to self sabotage, to beat yourself up for something you ate or said. If you’re blaming someone else, what would you need to do to start getting your power back? I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

Show Notes:

In 2015 Annie Spano was lost and depressed because she was being bullied at her corporate job. Then she started blogging and connected with other women bloggers. Having that community made her feel like herself again. She decided to leave her job and create a membership-based blogger tribe for women, Style Collective.

Question Highlights:

-How did you build a dream when you and your husband were both unemployed?

-Is it possible for people to figure out what they want if they’re in a bad environment?

-How do you deal when people say you’re selfish for prioritizing your needs?

-What is the worst thing you’ve experienced in business?

-How can people start building a support system from nothing?

Guest Bio:

Annie Spano is a former math teacher and corporate marketer with a BS in mathematics education and an MBA. She is the Founder of Style Collective, an online supportive community with influencer education that empowers women to find their purpose, be inclusive and achieve success.

Style Collective was created in reaction to an experience no other woman should ever have. In late 2015, Annie left her job in corporate marketing after being bullied and harassed by another woman in the workplace. The experience left her feeling defeated and emotionally drained. She wished there was a way for women to work together and help each other achieve success. Annie has since made it her mission to empower other women, improve their happiness, and help them achieve their goals through sisterhood and support of a shared passion. Style Collective is the realization of that mission.

The importance of taking care of your health

Limiting the amount of decisions you have to make

Show Notes:

I just got back from an amazing trip to NYC. That city, I swear to you, is like the most amazing perspective shifter. It's so incredible to me how this city of millions and millions of people just thrives in the chaos. I think it’s a perfect example of how you can choose to focus on either the negative or the positive. Coming back from my trip I got a head cold so I’m not feeling great. When I’m feeling under the weather is when I start doubting myself. And I realized that at this time of building a new company, I'm going to have to take even better care of myself. So if you want to be successful, pay attention to who you're around, what you're listening to, what you're doing and what you're eating. Just remember that your foundation and what you're capable of doing will really come from how much you take care of yourself and how much you focus on trying to build willpower.

Holy crap I’ve never felt closer to y’all! I love the show! Been listening for over a year and finally getting around to leaving a review.

I thought it was just me and it’s cool to hear that you all experience that. Also, why is that even a thing!? Anyway, love your podcast and random tangents.

My favorite shit show on FIRE! The last month has felt like falling down that Alice in Wonderland hole for me. There’s a welcome change waiting for me, but the interim has been a challenge. My saving grace? Questionably Awesome. Every episode, downloaded, and playing in the background all day, every day. For real.

How Ashley turned the trauma of losing her kids into power
The difference between pain and suffering
Trusting the process of life
Clarity mapping
Ashley’s book, Born To Shine

Resources:

Show Notes:

Six years ago Ashley LeMieux and her husband got a phone call asking them to become parents of a six-year-old and a four-year-old. They weren’t looking to adopt or foster at the time, but they said yes, and their life became all about their new family. During the final stages of the adoption process they experienced an unexpected contested adoption, which meant that they spent over a year and a half in court fighting to keep their family together. In the end the kids were taken from them with 12 hours notice and Ashley and her husband were not even allowed to tell the kids they weren’t coming home. Ashley says the past two years have been filled with her trying to figure out how to find a life again after it was all taken away. She felt buried by pain for so long she couldn’t work out how to move forward, but her journey through that has ignited everything she’s doing now. To begin she started a morning routine that added purpose back into her day. She wanted to write a book about her experiences and, after 30 different publishers said no, she figured out that no-one else’s opinion mattered and did it anyway. Her book, Born To Shine, shares stories, lessons, and practical tools to help women shine despite the darkness, to press forward one day at a time even when there is no end in sight, and to turn their most painful moments into their greatest teachers and signposts to true, deep, unassailable joy.

Question Highlights:

How do you find closure when you couldn’t say goodbye to your kids?
Was writing your book therapeutic?
What should people do when they can’t see a way out of suffering?
How can we believe in the significance of our story?
How do we bring divine ideas to life and have faith in them even when they've lost their excitement?

Guest Bio:

Ashley LeMieux is an author, sought-after public speaker, and wildly successful lifestyle influencer. She's the founder of the online community, The Shine Project, where she creates resources and tools that have ignited a path of clarity and fulfillment for hundreds of thousands of women around the world.

Oct 10, 2019

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

The superpower of sharing your truth
Making yourself proud
Being grateful for your present but believing in a better future

Resources:

Show Notes:

Today’s podcast is all about getting out of your own way because you have bigger fish to fry. You can’t play small anymore, you can’t live for other people and you can’t keep waiting for someone else to save you. That thing that you think just stopping you is your power. For me it was my anxiety, even though it was debilitating, and I told myself I couldn't do what I wanted because of it. Our superpower is to really share where we're at, and to share our truth and share that we're nervous and to remember that we're all in this human experience together. You can’t say the wrong thing to the right people, so get out there, find your audience, and live the life you want! I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

Being grateful for challenging people and the resistance in your life
The side effects of not following your calling - anger, resentment and depression
Tapping into the energy of your purpose
Creating a life you cannot hide from

Resources:

Show Notes:

Today I’m talking about the side effects of following your calling. But first I want to talk about the side effects of not following your calling. If you’re not taking actions that support your highest self, you get resentful toward yourself, the people that you love of other people and people who are inspiring to you. You feel anger, anxiety, isolation, comparison, and depression. The most important thing you can do is to really take note of how you're holding yourself back and learn to move forward. But moving forward isn’t pain-free either. You’ll feel discomfort and massive fear. You’ll make new friends and mentors but they won’t let you hide. You’ll lose people along the way. But at the end of your life you won’t be wishing you’d done things differently.

Show Notes:

On my run this morning something triggered my memory back to when I was in the fitness world but hadn’t started doing self-development work. I was binge eating and telling myself stories about why I wasn't good enough to do this work. I knew I had greatness inside of me, but I didn’t know what shape or form I would share it in. I put a training program on my credit card and showed up at that event so freaked out, but it totally paid off. Now I’ve created a 5-day workshop called EventLuv to teach the next generation of speakers, leaders and teachers how to create transformational experiences. The event is in January 2020 and the Earlybird price ends September 30. We’ll cover so many things including:

How do you protect your energy in the room?
How do you walk through the hallways to get to the bathroom without getting involved in a conversation that could really drain you or deeply affect you before you get back on stage?

How do you plan to make a profit?

Learning to listen to our inner voice
Toxic myths about creativity
Creating a place for your work to land
Protecting your mornings
Making money from things which are rooted in play and joy

Resources:

Show Notes:

In second grade Chase Jarvis loved doing stand-up comedy and produced a weekly comic book strip. Then one day at the parent teacher conference he overheard his teacher telling his mom that he was so much better at sports than he was at art. Because we gravitate to where we get rewarded, he became an athlete, went to college on a soccer scholarship and made the Olympic Development Program soccer team. Then, a week before Chase graduated college, his grandfather died from a heart attack and left Chase his cameras. Chase started teaching himself how to take pictures and that led to his career as one of the most influential photographers of the past decade, the developer of the first photo app to share images to social networks and the founder of CreativeLive. Now Chase is on a mission to break down myths about what creativity is and who can practice it. He says that when we look at all the decisions we make every day - what you're going to have for dinner, what business that you're going to build - as creative acts, that’s when we understand that we have the agency to create our lives.

Question Highlights:

How did you come to think of yourself as creative?
How do you protect your creative time?
How do make space for creativity when you really need to be making money?

Guest Bio:

Chase Jarvis is an award-winning artist, entrepreneur, and one of the most influential photographers of the past decade.

He has created campaigns for Apple, Nike, Red Bull and others, was a contributor to the Pulitzer-winning New York Times story Snowfall, and earned an Emmy nomination for his documentary Portrait of a City. He also created Best Camera--the first photo app to share images to social networks, and is the Founder of CreativeLive, where more than 10 million students learn photography, video, design, music and business from the world's top creators and entrepreneurs.

He's a keynote speaker, an advisor to Fortune 100 brands, and has been a guest at the Obama White House, the United Nations, the Library of Congress, 10 Downing Street, Buckingham Palace, and the DIFC in Dubai.

Show Notes:

Today I’m talking about making decisions. To actually make a decision you have to put skin in the game, say no to things and schedule your calendar so that it’s aligned with your dreams. Lately I've been fierce about making sure that I have room in my calendar for all of my new projects. And I am so proud of myself because, looking back at last year, I had a calendar full of things that I didn't necessarily want to do. I was more reacting to life than actually taking time to think if it was something that would move the needle forward. I was doing things because I didn't want to say no and hurt people's feelings. But you have to say no to things in order to create space for your dreams. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

Dr. Morgan Francis joins me to talk about cultivating self-love, particularly in the face of diet culture and a societal obsession with external appearance. Dr. Morgan spent years trying to avoid the pain of her brother’s death when she was a teenager and one of the ways she did this was by developing an eating disorder.

Now she is a therapist and runs an online course for women looking to improve their body image.

What are the phases of grief?

The Bliss Project 2020

Show Notes:

Today’s episode is all about getting comfortable with fear and failure. These are the only things that are stopping you from living your biggest dream and living out the gifts that God gave you. And when you don’t live your biggest dream, you're stopping the person who you're meant to help from getting the help that they need. You are literally cutting off their lifeline because that message is meant to come through you. Write down what you’re afraid of to see how ridiculous your thoughts are. Are you scared that your opinionated friend Becky is going to say something on Instagram? Are you scared that your moms’ group is going to say, who do you think you are? Are you scared that your husband or ex-boyfriend will say you're failing again? I want you to literally ask pain and fear to bring it on because you can handle it. Pain and the failure is where all of the learning and value is. Bring it on. You can do hard things, you can handle hard things. You can handle feedback, you can handle criticism. You choose if you're going to get taken down or you get back up but every time you get back up, you get stronger, you grow a muscle. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

414: 3 Ways to turn your fear into power
Aug 29, 2019

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

Lindsay Schwartz and Lori’s 5-day immersive workshop on how to run profitable events, retreats or masterminds
How fear is your friend
How fear has so many beautiful messages for us
How fear marks the exact spot to where you need to go

The Bliss Project 2020

Show Notes:

Today’s episode is all about fear. There are three main things that you need to know. Firstly, fear is your friend. When we resist fear, we're so focused on what we don't want to happen. We're so focused on building stories that don't actually exist yet that we're not actually putting our energy towards moving forward and taking action and creating a world where no matter what, we are only focusing on winning, and we're only focusing on things going right. So give it an outlet and space to acknowledge it in. Secondly fear has so many beautiful messages for you. It's trying to tell us something, like, hey, this might need a little bit more attention, or, you need a little more support around this. Thirdly, your fear marks the exact spot to where you need to go. Write down the three actions that you're most afraid of doing. One of those is most likely the thing that you need to do in the next week. If you don't get comfortable with fear, you'll never be able to create what you want because every step you take is uncertain. And there is no one there to tell you that you have made a good decision because you're the boss. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

Today’s episode is for the person who needs a kick in the ass right now. The person who’s thinking, I'm ready. I can't live this way another day. I can't wake up to another Monday where I don't like who I am because I'm not showing up as my highest self. Nobody's coming for you. This is going to be the rest of your life if you don't take massive action. If you're looking at someone that you think is lucky, maybe they’re seeing success because they are willing to not be liked, they're willing to do it scared, they're willing to fail, to be wrong, to get criticized or get nasty messages in their DMs. They're willing to invest, they're willing to make massive risks, to lose money, to feel uncertain every damn day and they’re willing to do anything to create the support that they need. They're willing to keep moving and love themselves, even when other people don't. So if you are struggling, know that it’s because you’re growing and getting stronger. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

409: How to ask for help, support yourself and other women on the path to your dreams with Natalya + Naomi
Aug 19, 2019

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

Chris and Lori’s Become Aligned course
How Natalya and Naomi deal with their very busy schedules
How going to the gym with her mom is helping Natalya deal with the loss of her father
How Natalya and Naomi make time for their families
How having children fits into a wrestling career
Natalya and Naomi’s next steps
How it took Natalya five years to get into WWE
How Natalya and Naomi support each other and their fellow competitors

Resources:

Show Notes:

Today my guests are WWE stars Natalya and Naomi. We chat about how they keep each other motivated even though they’re on the road and busy all the time. We also cover how Natalya is coping with the loss of her father and how they make time for their families. In this conversation I learnt a lot about how Natalya and Naomi push through to reach their goals. For example it took Natalya five years to get accepted for WWE but she kept trying.

Question Highlights:

You want to stay in shape for the ring. But you’re on the road all the time. How do you mentally prepare for that?
What do you do when it feels like you can't push through mentally?
What is something that you wish more people knew about you?
What are your next steps, career wise?
When did you realize that helping other competitors and lifting them up actually lifts you up?
What are you most excited about right now in your life?
What is something for people who feel like they're either afraid or hitting a wall?

Guest Bio:

With a combination of beauty, talent and untamed desire, Natalya is proudly carrying on the legacy of the legendary Hart Family in WWE.

The daughter of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, Natalya was trained in the rough-and-tumble Hart Dungeon. That unforgiving training ground that churned out mat greats like Brian Pillman and Natalya's husband, Tyson Kidd, molded The Queen of Harts into one of WWE's most dangerous submission grapplers. She also learned from her uncle Bret “Hit Man” Hart by driving many of her opponents to tap via a Sharpshooter.

Her presence out of the ring is almost as formidable: Starring on E!’s Total Divas reality series and working as an active supporter of WWE and The Creative Coalition’s Be a STAR Alliance, Make-A-Wish, Susan G. Komen and the WrestleMania Reading Challenge.

Natalya came agonizingly close to capturing championships for several years until she finally broke through at SummerSlam 2017, defeating Naomi for the SmackDown Women’s Championship to earn the gold for the first time since claiming the Divas Title in 2010.

The WWE Universe always assumed it would take a man of tremendous ability to live up to the legendary legacy of the pink and black. As it turned out, it’s doing just fine in this woman’s hands.

As the second-highest cause of whiplash behind car accidents, Naomi first turned heads as a dancer for the NBA's Orlando Magic and hip-hop stars like Flo Rida. These talents would take her around the world, as Naomi performed everywhere from North Korea to Indonesia.

Despite all that success, Naomi's dance steps couldn’t satisfy her competitive spirit, which is how she found herself as a contestant on WWE NXT. Despite being eliminated in the final week of her season, Naomi soon launched into orbit around Planet Funk, as one half of The Funkadactyls. From there, she broke out on her own, determined to take WWE by storm.

The Total Divas star has since had a series of remarkable runs as both fan-favorite and corner-cutting villain, doggedly pursuing the Divas Championship for the better part of a year and cementing her status as a ring general by heading up the attitude-filled Team B.A.D. of Tamina and Sasha Banks during the Divas Evolution.

Naomi then reinvented herself yet again as part of the SmackDown LIVE brand, making one-and-all feel the glow as she came face-to-face with her destiny by winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship twice, including an epic victory at WrestleMania 33 in a Six-Pack Challenge Match. A year later, she made history once again when she eliminated Bayley to win the first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34. After the 2019 Superstar Shake-up, Naomi is now adding a glow to the red brand.

Why sometimes we need to end friendships

Show Notes:

Today I want to chat with you about toxic friendships and breaking up with friends. I know some of you are like, yes, please give me the goods. I need to break up with friends right now. It's absolutely true. Some relationships have an expiration date and when they pass it, the friendship can go south. Not everyone is supposed to be with you for your entire journey. People who we attract in our lives that cause problems from the get-go can also teach us something - how to treat everyone with compassion and set boundaries in the most loving way possible. To move through life with more flow and ease, we must give up the idea that we are always right and in fact assume that everything is our fault and that everything is a lesson. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

How Alexa got into wrestling
How Alexa recovered from eating disorders
How Alexa creates safe boundaries for herself and deals with online bullying
Alexa’s plans for her future

Resources:

Show Notes:

Today my guest on the show is professional wrestler Alexa Bliss. Alexa watched wrestling growing up, then competed as a bodybuilder while she was recovering from eating disorders. Although she got a lucky break to become a wrestler she says really she was training for it her whole life because she’s been in athletics since she was five. In this conversation we talk about online bullying, handling out of control situations and pushing yourself to achieve your goals. What I learnt from interviewing Alexa is that the basic mindset and principles are the same exact across the board, no matter what your dream is. I don't care if you want to start a business. I don't care if you want to be an entrepreneur. I don't care if you want to be a WWE superstar. It is all the same mindset and belief in yourself and connection to other people.

Question Highlights:

How did you become a professional wrestler?
How did you integrate recovering from eating disorders into your fitness journey?

How do you keep a safe boundary for yourself mentally when you're in the public eye all the time?

What keeps you going in those moments where you don't think there's anything left?

What do you hope teenage girls get from seeing you?

Guest Bio:

Alexa has been a driven competitor her entire life, excelling especially in gymnastics and eventually becoming a Division I cheerleader. Alexa even entered the world of competitive bodybuilding, where she became one of the youngest competitors to receive her IFBB Professional status. With such an incredible athletic background, it’s little wonder that Alexa quickly became one of NXT’s most dangerous Superstars. Although she never captured the NXT Women’s Title, she was a constant threat.

When she joined SmackDown LIVE, Alexa ascended to the top by becoming a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion. Then she made history at WWE Payback, becoming the first Superstar to win both the SmackDown Women's Title and the Raw Women's Title.

Show Notes:

Today my guest on the podcast is Anna Yusim. Anna is a nationally recognized psychiatrist, speaker and author with a private practice in New York City. After spending so much time studying and working with science, Anna felt there was something missing in her life so she set out to find it. She traveled, lived and worked in over 50 countries while studying Kabbalah, learning Buddhist meditation and working with South American shamans and Indian gurus. Her life goal for many years now has been to figure out how science and spirituality work hand in hand. And that's ultimately what led her to write her book, Fulfilled: The Science of Spirituality and How it Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life. In this episode she shares with us her fundamental truths around fulfillment.

Also learn about my Become Aligned course. The reason why my husband Chris and I created this course is because we get asked so many questions on how we started living the life that we live now, a life of happiness, of abundance, of really understanding that life is always full of problems every single day, but there's always a solution. In the course we cover everything from mindset to the rituals that we do every single day. We talk about different energy sources, we talk about your purpose, what that actually means and how it's always changing. We show you how to build a tribe to support where you're going. And we talk about wealth, abundance, money, all of the good things, and how to sustain them.

Question Highlights:

I want to know how science and spirituality work hand in hand. What is a really good starting place for people to start unpacking that?
How does spirituality change your brainwaves?
What is it about being fulfilled for you that made you want to write about this whole topic?
What is your main false sense of fulfillment? And how did you figure out what was true for you?
Is there something that you're surrendering right now? And what exactly is the narrative in your brain when you are releasing or letting go of something or offering it up?
What does living in your purpose mean? Can your purpose change? How do we know when it changes?
What are the fundamental truths that you have found around fulfillment for you?

Guest Bio:

Dr. Anna Yusim is an award-winning, nationally recognized psychiatrist, speaker and author with a private practice in New York City. She is also a lecturer at Yale’s Psychiatry Department. After working as a neurobiology researcher with Dr. Robert Sapolsky Ph.D and completing studies at Stanford, Yale and NYU, Dr. Yusim felt that something was missing from her life. In her quest to find it, she traveled, lived and worked in over 50 countries while studying Kabbalah, learning Buddhist meditation and working with South American shamans and Indian gurus.

396: Your pain is powerful - use it
Jul 18, 2019

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

Why you should come to The Bliss Project in March 2020
Pain is the way we learn and expand
We experience pain when we are not living our purpose
If we don’t transform our suffering, we transmit it to our families, our neighbours and our communities

Resources:

Learn more: The Bliss Project 2020
Read: The Path Made Clear

Show Notes:

Today's podcast is inspired by the idea that pain is a valuable lesson. We experience a lot of pain when we don’t know the things we're put on the earth to do or we don’t know how to do them. If we don’t transform our suffering, we transmit your suffering to our families, our neighbors and even to our communities. So we have to start taking action on the things that we know we are meant to do. Also The Bliss Project is coming up in March 2020. I would love to see you all there. It is one of the most amazing things that I've ever gotten to do and participate in and it's your opportunity to meet some of the most epic women that you can possibly meet and be able to have them in your life as friends and business partners. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

Question 1:

@finding_steadiness

You and Chris are relationship goals! What's your advice for a healthy relationship?

Question 2:

Melanie Oligeri

I was recently listening to when you were on Ed Mylett’s podcast last year. At the end of the episode you were talking about how you and Chris used very different methods in business. He was more about finance/numbers/etc. and you were more of the soul work. My husband and I are both entrepreneurs and that sounds like the exact phase we are in. How did you figure it out and not take things personally when opinions clashed?

Review of the Week:Ladybug9872Great Minds Rant AlikeThe first episode I listened to I was hearing what sounded like crazy banter between Lori and her sidekick partner Evans. I wasn’t sure this was for me. But I was now having fun because they were having so much fun. For some reason I kept listening, it’s been 5 months now, and I have gotten something out of each episode. I’m a few years older than Lori, and can totally relate to all of her music, TV, movie references to yesteryears. I shared three takeaways from the show with Sheri Salata on my IG, and I’ve never shared a show there before. Then, when I heard the episode called Turn your Hard Times Into Greatness, and Lori shared the anxious rant that runs in her head that keeps her from being present in every aspect of her life, I realized I love this podcast so much because I can relate. So many of us can. I’m not the only one saying the same rant to myself. Lori will give you tips on all aspects of Earning Your Happy, because she’s gone through this and is completely relatable.

Monique Bryan shows up in such a beautiful way. She is a speaker, a personal branding expert, a triple positive breast cancer survivor. She also helps successful women entrepreneurs package and sell their genius and unlock the lucrative world of personal brand building. Monique draws widespread admiration for her passion, hustle and unshakeable commitment to helping women showcase their expertise and pitch with confidence.

Question Highlights:

What was your experience preparing for the Tribe Talk?

Was there any parts that you were like, ‘Oh, my God, if I don't share this, will they understand?’
What were the reminders that you had to tell yourself to get through cancer treatment?

How do you accept help or ask for help?

What does that first step of being able to speak your truth look like?

Guest Bio:

Monique Bryan is based in Toronto and runs her own branding consultancy. Monique has a BA in Fashion Design from Ryerson University and spent time studying abroad in London at the University of Westminster.

Upon returning to Toronto, Monique landed a design position for national retailer Le Chateau and worked her way up to Product Manager for all of ladieswear, becoming the youngest executive at the company. She quickly learned the ins and outs of manufacturing and global sourcing from working with their partners across Asia. But it was her frequent trips to India where she discovered her love of jewellery design and in 2010 she launched a jewellery company, landing her line in retailers across Toronto and New York.

This began her crash course in entrepreneurship and where she discovered her true love for business and marketing. So, when she was offered a chance to head up an accelerator program helping entrepreneurs jump-start their business five years later, she jumped at the chance. Partnering with global brands such as Paypal, Burberry, and Toms Shoes, Monique thought she had found her calling. But before she had a chance to decide, she discovered a lump in her left breast that changed her life forever.

Over the next year Monique underwent eight rounds of chemotherapy, surgery and 21 rounds of radiation, documenting the entire journey through her uncensored and very real account, on her blog, “Surprise, It’s Cancer!” Her blog was discovered by the writers at “Entrepreneur Magazine” and Monique was featured in the October issue in 2018. Today Monique has built a loyal following through her 10K + followers, speaks at events and conducts workshops while running her brand consultancy.

Show Notes:

I’m so excited to bring you this episode with the amazing Gina Meyers. Gina is a celebrity fitness instructor and motivational life coach in Los Angeles, California, where she has been changing lives for over a decade. On the show we talk about how Gina changed her life when she realized she was desperately unhappy and how she manages to show up every day, even when she’s not feeling it.

Question Highlights:

How did you learn to create the SoulCycle experience for people?

What does it look like when you feel like you're failing?
What were the thoughts going on in your head that you were like, I can't live this way anymore?
How did you meet your husband?
What is one of the biggest lessons that motherhood has taught you?
What has being in a SoulCycle room just about every single day taught you?
Why did you start racing cars?
What is something that you are craving more of right now in your life?

Guest Bio:

Originally from Cincinnati Ohio, Gina packed her bag and followed her childhood dream of being an actress when she moved to California in 1996. After years of auditioning for small parts on television shows, movies, and commercials, she realized that her passion was not in the entertainment industry. Instead, she found her calling in the early 2000s when she realized her true passion was helping others love themselves and feel good in their own skin. Gina’s fitness coaching career began as a yoga and spin instructor at a boutique studio in Venice, California. In 2012, Gina was recruited to be a founding Los Angeles instructor for SoulCycle. Previously only in New York City, Gina helped launch SoulCycle’s west coast venture. She personally helped open up four current Los Angeles studios: West Hollywood, Brentwood, Santa Monica, and Malibu. Recognized for her fitness following, in 2015 Gina became an ambassador for Lululemon Santa Monica and was promoted to Master Instructor at SoulCycle in 2017 as part of the first group of Master Instructors on the west coast. Gina’s passion is grounded in helping others feel their best. In Gina’s work, she not only motivates and inspires her clients to push their physical limits, but to also be mindful of their internal dialogue to create shifts in their perspective. Gina’s classes offer a safe space for individuals to explore their limits, challenge their minds and their bodies, and most importantly walk away feeling accomplished and successful. Gina strives to create meaningful connections and believes vulnerability and self-love are the foundation of a happy life. When not teaching or training, Gina is spending quality time with her husband, two dogs, and two year old son.

I don’t find myself sad about losing them but do you believe that it’s all part of the process of finding oneself?

In this episode I talk about how you have to decide RIGHT NOW! Indecision is killing your life and there’s no time for it. When you fail to make decisions straightaway, you create more work for yourself and you stop yourself from moving forward.

What’s worse is that you stop yourself from getting valuable feedback. I promise that even if you have made the wrong decision, the feedback you’ll get will be invaluable. When you live in purpose and act with love, God and the Universe have your back. So decide what kind of life you want to live, take one step at a time and be fully alive.

I absolutely love listening to Lori and Friends (Evans, Chris and yes, I even LOVE Waffles!) Her podcasts have spoken to me. As a broke college student who works two jobs, these podcasts have made me smile, belly laugh (Q&A) and also cry with emotion when things just really speak to me. I listen while doing homework, at work, and while working out. I recommend this podcast and if I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would. Thank you, Lori!

I don’t want to upset the people closest to me, but I also know I need to start to follow this tugging on my heart telling me to chase this company?”

"I first saw Lori at an event in October 218 where she did amazing spoken word poem and sang bravely in front of a very large audience. I didn't know I liked spoke word! Shortly thereafter I began listening to her podcast-addictively. I've been listening almost daily ever since. I love Lori's realness, how she can be sophisticated well of wisdom, and/or a supergoof, and somehow pull it off superbly! Her episodes are like a three course meal. when I'm on limited time I go to her "Quickie" series like an appetizers. I've had more time or I really need to sink my teeth into something, her main course of interviewing extraordinary people is completely satisfying. And on the days where I just want to indulge and feel good I listen to her Q&A series with Evan for a delicious, sweet bite that brightens my day every time. My best days have included this podcast! Stay brave, stay real and I'm staying tuned."

Show Notes:

I am SO excited for today’s episode because I sat down with Amelia Travis, a yoga teacher with over 500 hours of education, a writer, speaker, business coach, and the founder of Stoked Yogi. After breaking her back in a surfing accident, Amelia realized that life is too short to do anything but what you love - our dreams exist for a reason. Her daily mission is to love people and help them activate their highest potential. Amelia and I met at The Bliss Project, and I am so grateful that our paths crossed! This episode is sure to leave you feeling inspired to take action in your own life, and transform your negative script into one of pure passion.

What kind of work are you doing around passing the tests of life?

Guest Bio:

Amelia Travis is an E-RYT 500, writer, speaker, and business coach. As the founder of Stoked

Yogi, she’s impacted thousands of lives through yoga education programs, stand up paddle and surf experiences, and women’s empowerment retreats.

The journey to an empowered life was a long and winding road. Body dysmorphia, people

pleasing and perfectionist tendencies led Amelia down the path of drug addiction, disordered

eating, abusive relationships and a “sugar baby” lifestyle, and spiraled her into a rock bottom of a hundred thousand dollars in debt and a lost and broken heart.

In 2009, a spiritual awakening led Amelia to the realization that she was the only one standing in the way of becoming the woman she wanted to be. She decided to embrace messy, imperfect, unapologetic FEELING, and has since built and scaled a multi-six figure business, certified over 700 yoga teachers in stand up paddle board yoga and coached hundreds of women to personal and professional success.

Amelia’s writing has been published in Yoga Journal, Huffington Post, and the Inertia. She has

also had the honor of sharing a message on mindset shift as a TEDx speaker.

In 2012, after breaking her back in a surfing accident, Amelia realized that life is too short to do

anything but what you love - our dreams exist for a reason. Her daily mission is to love people

and help them activate their highest potential. She lives by her personal mantra: Set your

intention, breathe it to life.

Guest Bio:

I have overcome my share of obstacles in order to architect the life of my dreams and uncover the key to lasting, meaningful success. Growing up in Queens (literally on the wrong side of the tracks), my early years were tumultuous, marked by hardship and violence. With home being a less-than-idyllic place, I clung to work and education as my ticket out of the bedroom I shared with three brothers, and the low-income reality of the life my parents couldn’t seem to escape. The minute I was old enough, I threw myself into any job I could get my hands on, from washing cars at filling stations, to washing hair in salons. In hindsight, the high-end neighborhood across the tracks (home to the doctors and lawyers) likely played an unconscious role in my decision to attend school to be a chiropractor. Post high school graduation, I moved to Atlanta to complete my training and never looked back.

Over the next decade, I built a successful chiropractic practice, welcomed my first child, experienced the heartbreak of a challenging divorce, found healing and redemption when I met and married my wife, and read a book that changed my life and uncovered for me the world of lifestyle-entrepreneurship. That book was The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris. Having spent my entire life thus far in relentless hustle mode, I was ready for the PLAY HARD side of the hard work coin. My wife and I wanted to escape the grind and travel the world, so we did. In 2006 we launched our travel/lifestyle Blog ‘Jetset Life’ and my all or nothing tendencies showed up for the party.

Predictably, poppin’ bottles on yachts grew old and I became aware that once again my life was out of balance and I felt disconnected and unfulfilled. THIS was the pivotal moment I decided to apply myself to mastering the counter-balance between the science of achievement and the art of fulfillment. From THIS, the Work Hard Play Hard podcast and mastermind was born.

We all have projects, dreams, and parts of our personality that we hide from the outside world. As we create our projects and as we show up more in the world, we tend to get stuck in our old patterns, leaving us feeling like we can’t show up fully as our true self.

Fate first introduced the triathlete and former sports model and host to then, personal trainer, Katrina Scott, at a Manhattan Beach gym in 2008. Inspiration and passion collided, and the girls started filming fitness videos for YouTube. The channel gained increasing attention from women across the country who became dedicated to their new trainers.

She completed her first half-marathon at 12-years-old and some of her earliest memories include watching her mom workout to Jane Fonda videos in their living room – she even filmed her own workout video on VHS for a 1st grade class project. After her youth became full of turmoil due to her mothers mental illness, Dawn went through 10 years of severe depression and escape into drug abuse. In her early 20's she was ready to regain her life and live in love rather than fear. She rediscovered fitness and the memories of how it made her feel. Dawn began using triathlon as her therapy.

Scott began creating workouts and meal plans from magazines and nutrition books before beginning her career at a vitamin store.

Learning about nutrition and exercise inspired her to earn her bachelors degree her degree in Health Promotion and Fitness from Keene State College, where she studied Exercise Science, Sports Nutrition, Pre and Postnatal Wellness, and also earned her first certification in Group Fitness. After graduating, she worked as a Master Trainer and Fitness Instructor in Boston and started creating fitness videos.

Read: The Lotus and the Lily by Janet Connor

Show Notes:

Today I’m talking about the duality of the light and the dark that we all have inside of us. It is so important to accept and understand that both are part of you, and help make you who you are deep down. This is what makes us human! In a book that I’ve been reading, the author brought up a story that served as a really beautiful reminder that while yes, we do have that light and dark with us, the one that shows up most often is the one that we feed.

Show Notes:

Last year, even though incredible, was a year of burnout for me. I’m excited to say that I’m starting to feel like I’m back in my groove, and I’ve really found power in saying no. Saying no isn’t necessarily because I don’t want to do something, but because I want to create more space. Creating space takes work! Often times, setting these boundaries actually feels like you’re doing the wrong thing because you aren’t doing what others are doing. Today, I’m getting real and honest about what this space looks like and what you need to do in order to prepare for the next steps in your life and business.

Show Notes

Today’s quickie is a special one because I am sitting down with James Purpura, the co-founder and CEO of Powerful U, a personal evolution company with the goal to inspire people to tap into their potential. James’s story is a beautiful one of incredible transformation, growth, and perseverance, and I can’t wait for you to listen in on the conversation we have today. Chris and I will be speaking at the Powerful U conference, and have an amazing ticket price for all of our listeners– you don’t want to miss this one!

James and Steph’s journey of transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. Before they met 15 years ago, both of their lives had hit rock bottom. They were both financially, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt. Life had beaten them down and shattered their self-esteem. At the lowest point in their lives, they met and were united by a shared vision of creating and becoming more. They started the only place they could by working on themselves and helping each other grow. They believed in each other but more importantly, they challenged each other every step of the way, and never settled.

Shortly after meeting, Steph wrote James’ first resume and taught him how to send an email. This began James’ unlikely career in technology. Around this time, they also started a family. Fast forward fifteen years, after many ups and downs and a lot of hard work, Steph and James recently sold their tech company, one of the world’s largest construction software companies. They now have five beautiful children and live an extraordinary life. Through this journey of self-creation, they developed a personal philosophy centered around perception. They believe perception, more than any other factor, will determine how someone’s life will turn out. James and Steph started Powerful U as their way to give back to the world. They believe that through the knowledge they accumulated on their journey they can help others live the life they desire. Their dream is to bring personal development to the masses by making it affordable and readily available to all seekers.

Jane Lu founded Showpo in 2010 from her parents’ garage.

With much enthusiasm for entrepreneurship , she set off to start her first business, which failed spectacularly. However, Jane was undeterred and got right back on the horse, starting the online fashion brand, Showpo the following month. What started off with a laptop and two shelves of clothing is now an online global fashion empire,shipping to over 100 countries.

Through being disruptive in the retail space and capitalising on the use of social media, Showpo now boasts a cult social following of over 3.3 million engaged followers collectively and has a team of over 90 across Sydney HQ and Distribution Center. A regular keynote speaker, for some of Australia’s biggest brands and having fronted stages for audiences internationally, Lu’s expertise is unparalleled, and her tone of voice, is real and relatable. A prominent figure in the Australian start up scene, Lu has been nominated for numerous awards,taking home taking the title of Cosmopolitan’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2015 and Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia in 2016.

Lu’s personal experiences led her to build her own entrepreneurial community, Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine, which she co-founded with serial entrepreneur, Gen George. Together they have grown an active community of over 85,000 members. Bringing women together to hear (and give) real, honest advice, to be inspired and to join forces - all over a good class of wine of course.With Lu at the helm, 8 years since its founding, Showpo owns its status as one of Australia’s fastest growing fashion e-commerce retailers. Recently awarded the highly coveted Australian Online Retailer of The Year Award and is on track to reach its goal of $100 million in revenue by 2020 with no external funding.

More often than not, we know deep down what we want and need to do, but we look outside of ourselves for the validation that it’s okay to want those things and have those dreams. Today we are talking all about taking the big leap into what you know is your purpose here, in this life.

Seeking the validation from others and then getting it doesn’t actually make us happy if we don’t love and approve ourselves.

I have this theory that whenever I’m not in the place or headspace I want to be in, I try and find someone else that is in that place. It’s super important to me to find someone to speak that life back into me, and honestly, sometimes it isn’t even about the words– it’s about the vibration. Nothing is out there actually making us feel a certain way, it’s actually us taking it in and applying our own meaning to it. If we could all really look at ourselves and the season that we’re in, it’s important to remember that space is truly just a visitor– some stay longer than others, but they will leave.

Review of the Week:

Jessib1981

I have followed Lori’s podcast for over 2 years and a few months ago moved across the country and lost my self-development groove. In turn, I recently found myself in a rut, feeling alone & unworthy. While I knew deep down I would find a way back, I had to think of what I needed. On my drive back to VA from WI, I listened to over 20 podcasts back-to-back and felt revived & resuscitated!! I hate to say how long it’s been since I’ve tuned in, but my new favorite episodes are Q&A with her assistant/friend Evans!!! They are awesome and hilarious. Just the vibes I need to surround myself with until I find more of my own tribe. Love you juggernauts!

Question 1: @nataliecturner “How to be high vibe while waiting? Ex: hearing about a work opportunity, text results, etc.”

Question 2: @sigsfitbits “Some tips on hosting your first workshop event?”

Question 3: @laurenrichellequigley “What is your favorite tip for getting your creative juices flowing?”

I’m so excited to share this episode with you all today because my husband, Chris Harder, is joining me. This episode may just be my favorite episode of the year– I know it’s only January! In today’s conversation, Chris and I share our top 6 hacks to succeed this year. From business, to life, and relationships, this episode covers it all. Be sure to listen all the way through because we share the biggest thing that we will do this year– hint: it involves YOU.

After an 11-year career as an executive and partner in the banking industry, Chris experienced plenty of success, however he severely lacked fulfillment – and was completely burned out. Recognizing that a change needed to be made, he retired from banking in 2011 and partnered with his wife, Lori, and her brand, LoriHarder.com along with their Isagenix network marketing business. Chris now handles most of the business affairs and business coaching for their two multimillion dollar brands, and has found exactly the fulfillment and happiness he was seeking in a career.

Chris is the host of the new hit podcast, “For the Love of Money,” aimed at helping people bust through their money mindset blocks to become unapologetic about their pursuit of wealth. It is through interviewing business moguls and celebrities and exposing their exciting stories of contribution and philanthropy that he helps prove that money is a tool for good in a world with many needs.

I’m putting in the work to allow both ideas to have their own voice so that they can coexist within me. Today I’ll share an exercise that I’m going to do in order to help me (and you!) even further understand the patterns and emotions in my mind.

Question Highlights:

Destinee: “What is the best way to help family members, especially young family, explain the journey you are going through? I have a 10 year old brother and I find it difficult to explain to him that I am creating the best version of myself and chasing my dreams because of kids having such a hard time understanding such abstract ideas.”
Veronica: "I'm listening to #249 with Mastin Kipp right now and you mention being trained to be a good audience member - do you think you could do an episode on that (or even just train Evans right now so we can listen in)? This idea of actively giving a speaker your energy is so wonderful I can't even handle it :)"
Shari: "As for my question, I work in an office with about 20 people in a small confined sales office… I have such a hard time being myself on the phones with my clients when everybody is listening and it hinders me for some reason! Possibly could because I work with a lot of type a personalities, and I do you freeze up when it comes time to speaking up! Help!”

Review of the Week:

“I just listened to Lori’s Go All In episode and my soul is literally shook. I shared it with my entire team for some daily inspiration and I cannot wait for them to listen. I have been feeling very anxious in the past couple of weeks and days because I am definitely living in the grey and Lori’s podcast shook me, made me realize that what is keeping me from my island paradise is the boat I am currently living on. She has inspired me to close all the windows, get down to work (for a while) and I will definitely use this episode as motivation when I am doubting myself as I embark to put in some hard work to reach my island! Can’t wait to check out other podcasts soon! Great work Lori Harder and thank you!”

@mickeylawjoy

“I’d love to hear you talk about fashion and how that’s a part of our self expression. How you pick out clothes, outfits, how your journey with your dress has been and evolved. We all have those fitting room blah stories, so I always find it interesting to hear how people separate things like clothing sizes and the struggle-city it can be to a self expression journey.”

"It’s about really making an empowered decision from your intuition. “No, there’s something that’s actually out of alignment here that I don’t want to be a part of.” I feel like if we drop into that space and we become anchored in our truth, there’s nothing that we can really get overly triggered by because we know we’re listening to our soul and not running around in fear because of our mind.”

“Really taking this entire month just celebrating everything that’s been created, and to be with myself and all of that process to just reflect on all the growth, all the evolution of things in business, and just be in deep gratitude and celebration.”

Caty Pasternak believes that we are all meant to EXPERIENCE our power as conscious creators and to live with radical authenticity, love, and abundance. Within her first year, she created a multiple six-figure coaching business. And it wasn’t because of a fancy marketing tactic…..it was because of my embodiment, creativity, and energy.

She utilizes hypnotherapy, NLP, biz strategy, intuitive development, and quantum physics to support women through personal and business transformations in her private mentorship and mastermind programs. Caty also creates content for multiple channels, as well as posting weekly videos to her Youtube channel, and her podcast, Sexy Soul Radio.

Show Notes

Today I felt it really necessary to talk about expectations and not being enough. We are going to flip the script a bit today though, and rather than talk about our own expectations, we are going to chat about the expectations that people have on us. On the book tour, I noticed that there were so many people who felt this nagging expectation from people in their past to keep showing up how they used to show up. We’ve all heard it, “Oh, you aren’t the same person.” Well today, I’m going to free you from that–I’m giving you the permission to disappoint other people.

I also wanted to remind you to get your tickets to The Bliss Project, coming to Newport Beach, CA this March. It is going to be an incredible weekend of complete life transformation & immersion!

@empowermentwithelizabeth: “I’m planning a retreat and I’m curious about the process of Bliss Project–how you went from the idea to executing it. How did it get from an idea to reality?”
@victoriaevansofficial: “How do you seperate your physique from your self-worth? I’m really struggling right now not to put so much value on my body after losing weight. I’m having a hard time seeing myself as my body. Did you ever struggle with this as you were competing in fitness?”

Review of the Week:

“Lori, I can’t thank you enough for what both your book and podcast have done for me. When I went through a messy breakup with my ex, one of my friends/fellow coaches suggested this book to me and your podcast. I’ll be honest, at first I was apprehensive. So many friendships and relationships have been burnt in my life, why light another candle and redevelop a tribe? But, you’ve given me the courage to be brave, to step up, and to anoint my own dang self with self-love, encouragement, bravery, and replacement of negativity, fear, judgement, etc. With positivity, compassion, understanding, I’m excited to see where your journey takes you because you’ve helped so many of us and deserve the best. Keep rockin it sista!”

Today, I want to talk about focus. So many of us believe that we have to care about every little thing, and that our value is determined by just how caring we are.

Show Notes

I am beyond excited to share this episode with each one of you, especially if you’re ready for incredible wisdom to totally pierce your soul, because today I am joined by Dr. Erin Haskell. Dr. Erin Haskell is the creator and host of Good Morning LALALAND, a live streaming television show focused on reporting good news and inspiration. She has so much truth, light, and intention in all that she does. Erin is an all around go-getter and spectacular woman, and I knew she would be a great guest to have on the show.

In this conversation, we talk about how Erin likes to start off all of her meetings with an invocation for the group, plus she shares her story and how she found her way to being the Doctor of Divinity. We go deep into how and why we should reprogram ourselves from past stories and traumas, and releasing fears and anxieties. Erin also shares ways that we can work on ourselves in relationships, how to free yourself from judgement, and both finding and understanding our own truths.

This conversation moved me, and truly shifted my soul. I can’t wait for you all to listen and have a little piece of Dr. Erin in your life today, too.

Question Highlights:

What was the pivot from darkness to the first step out of darkness?
How do we gain the willingness to look + start working on reprogramming?
What is the best way to release fear and impostor syndrome?
How do you allow you to show up for yourself?
What to do around finding your truth without the judgement?
How can you free people up around relationships?
What can we think of to get back to a neutral state in order to make decisions when in relationships?
What is an ultimate truth? A relative truth?
What type of ministry does Erin practice?
What is Erin’s book, Awakening, about?

Quotes

"All those judgements, al that stacking up of self-judgement, and that gets triggered when we are touching on our greatness."

"Relatives truths are what’s true for you."

"You are here to judge; you’re here to say what works for you and what doesn’t work for you."

“That is the highest stance is to not make anyone wrong.”

“When you do your own work, everyone around you transforms instantaneously.”

“We need to have fun, we need to play, but we need to remember what we’re here for which is really… we’re here to do work.”

Dr. Erin Fall Haskell, Doctor of Divinity, New Thought Leader, Transformational Author and Speaker, Conscious Entrepreneur, Global Peace Leader Award 2016, Mother and Lover of Life!

Erin lives in Los Angeles, where she is featured in television, radio, magazines, and top blogs as the expert “Spiritual Coach.” She is the “Dear Abby” of the consciousness movement where she focuses on bringing fun to “The Shift” in La La Land. After many years of counseling top celebrities and Grammy winners she wanted to bring her programs to the masses. Her book Awakening; A 30-Day Guide to Unleashing Your Inner Guru, comes to bookstores near you in 2017. Claiming her birthright of prosperity and abundance, she is a self-made millionaire and an active philanthropist. Bottom line, she attributes her happiness and fulfillment to the spiritual truth, which is not just knowing the universal truth, but living it!

“There are moments in life when something happens, life alters, and your entire perception transforms instantaneously.” For Erin, that moment was 22 years ago when she was holding her stillborn son in her arms, just after giving birth to him. “Tears were streaming down my face as I looked at his beautiful body and realized his body was still there, but he wasn’t. I realized he wasn’t his body; he is a spiritual being. One can conceptually understand that we are not these bodies, but I got it on an entirely different level, my entire world crumbled, delivering me to spiritual revelation.” This sent her on an intense spiritual quest traveling around the world, discovering truths and working with gurus and spiritual masters learning how to live and embody the truths that had been revealed.

291: Your Journey WILL Be Messy, and That's PERFECT
Nov 15, 2018

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

The current Tribe Called Bliss book tour
Why “the messy stuff” is good for you

Show Notes

Messy is a part of everything. It’s vital to be messy in the beginning. We don’t get the good ideas if it’s NOT messy.

A lot of times we stop ourselves from doing things because we think about the things that we DON’T want to happen; the worst case scenario parts. But we need to focus and change our perspective around this.

So many of us are stuck in those thoughts that you’re literally it won’t even allow yourself to move forward. START! Start Googling, take the next action to make the path less scary.

Your mantra for this time is: “I’m going to leap, it’s going to be messy, and that is going to be perfect.”

Show Notes

I am so beyond grateful for today’s guest, Dr. Joe Dispenza. His books and teachings were at the very beginning of my journey and completely shifted everything for me. I believe there are moments in life that impact you so deeply and you’re never the same. In this episode, I talk about that moment and how everything I looked at changed forever.

As an international lecturer, researcher, author and educator, Dr. Joe believes that each of us has the potential for greatness and unlimited abilities. This is why his passion has led him to educate thousands of people on how they can rewire their brains and recondition their bodies to make lasting changes. I can tell you firsthand that this is what he did for me. I truly believe his teachings were the beginning of rewiring the way I think. With a passion for neuroscience, epigenetics and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions and evolved consciousness. You will be blown away by Dr. Joe’s miraculous stories!

So please, get comfortable and listen to every single word of our incredible conversation and if this hooks you, I encourage you to go grab one of his books and read it!

Question Highlights:

Did you always have this mind-body connection or do you feeling like it got awakened after your accident?
What advice do you give people who are in an environment that isn’t helpful for where they want to go?
How do you not take things personally or navigate that world of reflection?
Can you paint a picture of what it looks like when a person knows what to do but can’t quite visualize it?
What’s the connection between moving your body and getting into a new environment and accelerating that change?
Can you tell me about your events?

Quotes

"It’s so much easier to forget our vision than it is to remember it.”

“We’re innately wired to be creators.”

“The power that made the body heals the body.”

“Your personality creates your personal reality.”

“If you’re not being defined by a vision of the future, then all you’re left with are memories of the past.”

“Wisdom is the memory without the emotional charge.”

“The unknown has never let me down.”

“My definition of the creative moment is when I forget myself.”

Joe Dispenza, D.C. is an international lecturer, researcher, corporate consultant, author, and educator who has been invited to speak in more than 32 countries on five continents. As a lecturer and educator, he is driven by the conviction that each of us has the potential for greatness and unlimited abilities. In his easy-to-understand, encouraging, and compassionate style, he has educated thousands of people, detailing how they can rewire their brains and recondition their bodies to make lasting changes.

In addition to offering a variety of online courses and teleclasses, he has personally taught three-day progressive workshops and five-day advanced workshops in the U.S. and abroad. Starting in 2018, his workshops will become week-long offerings, and the content of the progressive and advanced workshops will be available online.

He’s also an invited chair of the research committee at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia.

As a researcher, Dr. Joe’s passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He uses that knowledge to help people heal themselves of illnesses, chronic conditions, and even terminal diseases so they can enjoy a more fulfilled and happy life, as well as evolve their consciousness.

As a NY Times best-selling author, Dr. Joe has written You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter (Hay House, 2014), which explores our ability to heal without drugs or surgery, but rather by thought alone. He has also written Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One (Hay House, 2012) and Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind (2007), both of which detail the neuroscience of change and epigenetics. Becoming Supernatural is Dr. Joe’s fourth book.

Show Notes

I just returned from being on an Oprah Magazine Cruise with Holland America and am still sitting in the experience. I met so many amazing people and got to speak to and coach a different demographic than I’m used to. And while having lunch and random conversations with so many of these people throughout the week, I realized that we’re all the same, and we’re all tested at one time or another.

Never be ashamed of your dreams or the thing you want to do the most. There will always be tests along the way that test your faith. And while they’re often super uncomfortable, they are 100% necessary to help you realize your dreams. Instead of giving up, say “bring it!” This is your faith practice. It’s digging in your heels, being scared, and not feeling good – and moving forward anyway. After all how can you be tested if you’re not experiencing it?

“It’s OK to be afraid, but it’s not OK to give up."

So lean in. Experience it. Let time help you work through it. Your faith is tested by often extreme measures. Learn how to support yourself through it. Who can you call? Can you pray, meditate or read a book? What keeps that faith alive? Just as you would study or prepare for a test, you must prepare (not avoid) the tests that come up around your dream.

“Don’t resist the test, prepare for it – it’s how you pass.”

These tests will strengthen you and help refine what you’re meant to do. Stop avoiding them.

“You don’t get better or get the reward unless you keep showing up – no matter the result.”

So keep showing up. Let go where you can and know that you’re not alone. Something beautiful is just around the corner. Are you ready for it?

Show Notes

I’ve been following today’s guest, online marketing expert, Amy Porterfield, for so long and we have so many mutual friends that I feel like we’ve known each other for years…but we’ve never even talked before this interview. I’m not sure how it’s possible, but we definitely made up for lost time with our interview.

If you’ve never heard of Amy and you work with online marketing in some way, shape or form, or you’re just plain curious what it’s all about, you’re not going to want to miss our conversation. We discuss Amy’s three stages of business and all the feelings and tools that go along with each of them. I can’t tell you how much of what she shared helped me and my team as we were right in the middle of one of our own launches.

This episode was filled with valuable tips, tools and advice for all levels, and I can’t wait to hear if any of her tips help move you to the next level, too! If you know of someone who could benefit from this episode, please share!

Question Highlights:

Who are we talking to when we say “new” to the online world?
What are some of the first steps that someone would take to move through the emotions of overwhelm?
What do you think is important in the early stages? What will help break you through to phase 2?
What was your phase one like?
What woman were you at phase 2?
What advice do you give around plateaus?
In phase 2, what were your biggest blocks?
What things came up in phase 2 that you thought were going to take you down?
What do you experience at the start of phase 3?
What are the plateaus of phase 3?
What are some of the biggest tools of phase 3?

Quotes

"You need to surround yourself with people who are doing amazing things and show you what’s possible.”

“Every decision you make is not set in stone – you can pivot and reinvent yourself and do new things.”

“Stop playing small in the places where there’s opportunity to play big.”

“If you become the person who finishes what they start, you’re going to be in a prime spot to start scaling.”

“Look for experts who are laser-focused where you want to go.”

I really can do this” for over 250,000 online entrepreneurs.

Show Notes

I have been on a major rollercoaster this year (an awesome, but scary one), and I think it is so vital that I share with all of you why stepping into and becoming the your highest self is the hardest thing you’ll ever do.

I’ve been tackling some really big things lately – lots of speaking gigs, book tour events etc., and not gonna lie, they’re all freaking me out. But here’s my trick to getting through them all – I’m letting go of any expectations I have around the outcomes.

“In order for me to work through fear, I have to fully accept anything and everything can happen.”

There is no ONE thing that is going to make or break my life. And as I navigate each any every new thing, I gain more and more clarity around being truly me. Full honesty, I feel the most alive and “myself” that I’ve ever felt. You see, there is zero room for being something that you’re not, because eventually you’re going to get caught being yourself. For me, that’s showing the side of me that loves to perform spoken word, sing (future podcast performance?), and swear. Parents, this may mean putting “earmuffs” on the kiddos now and again. Keep in mind, I’m not trying to purposely offend anyone – it’s just how I express myself on occasion.

For example, in this episode I’m sharing a 30-second excerpt of a new spoken word piece I’m working on…I drop the F-bomb once, but it’s because that was the word that moved me in the moment. It’s about being yourself with a bit of discernment for your audience, right?

So here’s to stepping into a new version of yourself! Who’s with me and how soon do you want to do it? Whenever that moment takes place, please let me know so I can cheer you on!

281: Why Your Passion Still Requires Hard Work
Oct 22, 2018

I’m so excited for you all to hear my conversation with the magical trifecta that is Betches Media – Samantha Fishbein, Jordana Abraham and Aleen Kuperman. With a following of more than 6 million followers on Instagram, their presence has taken social media by storm with their funny and light-hearted approach to wellness, dating, careers, pop culture, politics and more. If you haven’t heard of them, I highly recommend traveling down their entertaining Instagram rabbit hole (I did and it was incredible).

In an effort to offer the missing female counterpart to the “bro” culture, these three college friends decided to share their voice and opinions with the masses. With an obvious need fulfilled, their website at the time took off and has since morphed into podcasts, an eCommerce store, books and so much more.

With two books already under their belts, a third book, “When’s Happy Hour,” which focuses on careers is set to release Oct. 23. Whether you’re in college, unfulfilled by your job or fulfilled but driven for more, this book will teach you how to succeed in a career and make yourself better – with lots of laughs along the way.

These women are redefining what it means to love what you do, and I’m so happy they’re taking us all along for the ride.

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

What Betches Media is all about and how it was founded
Taking action and creating content
Taking an honest look what you’re good at – and what you’re not so good at
Importance of planning
Self-awareness
Monetizing what you’re good at
The ups and downs of eCommerce
How Betches found their voices through speaking the thoughts that other people were thinking
How Betches deal with criticism
How Betches manage their friendships
Who Betches wrote “When’s Happy Hour” for
Redefining what it means to love what you do

Question Highlights:

Could you explain and break down what you’re doing in your business?
How did you all get started and what was your intention in the beginning – and how has it changed since then?
Why did you pick the topic for your new book?
In the beginning of your business, what were the parts you loved to do and what parts were challenging?
What do you do to protect and nurture your relationships with each other?
What are your favorite parts of what you’re doing now?
What is a question you wish more people would ask you?
What are some new challenges coming up for your business right now?
Who is your new book, “When’s Happy Hour,” for?

Quotes

"It’s better that people are saying something, even if it’s not good, than not saying anything at all. At least criticism shows that people care.”

“Even the most amazing job that allows you to follow your passion is work.”

“Follow what makes you happy, what you’re good and what moves you, and live in a way that aligns with that.”

Betches is a multi-platform media company for millennial women to experience comedy and empowerment in an honest environment. Founded in 2011 by Cornell University alumni Aleen Kuperman, Samantha Fishbein, and Jordana Abraham, the company was launched as a blog with the core column “Betches Love This.” Betches has since expanded to become a robust, digital destination that boasts a strong social media presence through their cult Instagram with more than 6.2 million followers, @Betches, two New York Times bestselling books, I Had a Nice Time And Other Lies… and Nice Is Just a Place in France, e-commerce platform, Shop Betches, and vast editorial content including multiple pop-culture, political, and new-centric podcasts and video.

280: Spoken Word Poem: Fear Marks the Spot
Oct 18, 2018

This past weekend I was invited to write and share a new spoken word poem at my soul sister, Danette May’s event. To say I was terrified is putting it mildly, but I did it! And while I’m still processing my the journey and the emotions around it, one thing I know for certain is that my fear is always the X that marks the spot when it comes to what fulfills me and makes me feel like I’m living in my highest potential.

I shared a couple clips of the poem on social media, but have gotten several requests to hear the poem in its entirety. Always one to feel the fear again (why?!), I’ve recorded it on this episode and have provided the words below. If my words pull at your soul and you know someone else who would benefit, please share. Thanks so much for all of your support!

Here we go…

I got up today only to find that I’m still not yet where I want to be

A little less “I woke up like this”

A little more - “existential crisis” – feeling stuck in my reality.

When I think about who I am now, compared to who I think I’m supposed to be

I wake up every morning, AND INSTEAD of doing things that set me free

I put on a straight-jacket and wear someone else’s identity.

Not even accepting myself on my own ID

Height one inch taller

Weight 10 pounds smaller

Anyone else fear a lie detector test at the DMV – or is it just me?

Just the thought of trying to change my life makes me feel defeated

Like I got the short end of the stick

Or like this bitch over here got all the talent

And I got cheated.

When I close my eyes, I can see my life’s vision

But when I open them, I can’t see past my email, my thighs, my to-do list and dirty kitchen

I mean what’s it gonna take to reach my dream, be seen, and get attention?

Instead of growing my mind

I put all my energy towards beauty, titles and Instagram mentions.

When will I be enough?

Thanks to Fairytales and Ariel, I’ve spent my whole life chasing people and stuff

“Look at this stuff isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?”

Still waiting for my Prince Charming, castle and Fairy Godmother

Jerry Maguire said, “You complete me”

So feeling enough must ONLY come from a love.r

So many mixed messages, it’s no wonder we’re confused

The world tries keeping us busy stressing over low carbs, waist trainers and red-bottom shoes

They sidetrack us from our purpose with diets and promises of youth

But it’s a choice to decide to be committed to finding and living your truth.

The other day I was walking past a man in conversation with his mate

He said, and I quote, “You deserve the life you tolerate”

I just about choked

Cause at that point in my day I was feeling upset

Sorry for myself because there are unlived dreams I haven’t met yet

If what I tolerate is the life that I’m living

then you’re telling me it’s been my choice to not use these gifts I’ve been given?

They say through ownership I can get my power back

I gotta be honest – easier said than done

I was really hoping this whole personal development thing would be a little more fun…

True story – I was recently at an event like this

Sitting in the audience

And from the stage I felt the speakers words hit me in the soul much like a deliverance:

I am not what you think I am; I am not what I think I am; I am what I think you think I am.”

Let me repeat that….

I am not what you think I am; I am not what I think I am; I am what I think you think I am”

Moral of the story is the only thing that’s stopping us, is what other people think Get your mind off other people’s shit And put your soul back in the driver’s seat!

The only thing wrong with you is that you think something is wrong with you.

Everything is right with you

In spite of you

Ignoring the higher you

The answers are all inside of you

So why are you

Gripping onto others view

When what they think of you is…

NOTHING. Because they’re only thinkin’ about themselves.

The truth will set you free,

But first it will piss you off

And the truth is:

If you keep fighting for your limitations, you get to keep them

It’s time to stop choosing suffering

and choose to fight for your queendom.

I know the life I’m born for and the woman I’m supposed to be

I’m embarrassed to tell you my soul is an undercover celebrity

So where do I go if I believe the life I have now must be disputed

It’s like I can see I’m on screen

But my voice has been muted

It’s been so long since I’ve used it, or maybe I never learned how

But lately something’s stirring, rising up telling me my time is now.

What stops us are the lies we choose to believe

It’s an imagined future of pain that we think we perceive

It’s when I’m alone that my fears go viral

Next is panic, then my anxiety starts to spiral.

I’m picturing judgment, comparison, an imagined future that’s not even real

It’s our past informing our future telling us how to feel!

I believe the reason we feel pain is because we need to bridge the gap,

Between our fear and our faith in our source and its unlimited tap.

In order to become the woman I’m chasing

I have to let go of the woman I’m facing

The mirror is the place where you have to fall in love

With all the scars from our past

Reconfigure them from curses, into gifts from above

Trusting that what you have now is what you need to begin

And who’ll you’ll become will transform as you start to step in.

If I don’t start to take action now, it will be consequential

Because my biggest fear is dying, without reaching my highest potential

‘Cuz it just takes one to change your family tree

and your bravery and courage is bringing your ancestors to their knees

They may not have been able to use their voice or have what you do

That’s why you must take action,

They have blazed this trail for you.

But we have to wake up from the lie, and emerge from our comas

To stop sleepwalking through life requires more than a kiss from a prince or diploma.

See, the magic of life is that it gives you clues

And if you’re open and seeking you get glimpses of truth

And in case it’s still in question, YES you’ve been chosen, you’re forgiven it’s written

But you gotta SHOW UP - STAND UP - RISE UP - stop sittin’.

The map to your bliss is to follow it, and keep showing up

It’s going to be messy, your hands will shake, you’ll get criticized and you’ll want to throw up

Becoming the biggest version of you is the scariest thing you’ll do

You’ll have darkness and pain and some friends will leave you.

But I’m going to let you in on life’s ultimate hack

It’s that you get to choose gratitude even when it feels like the universe doesn’t have your back.

God wants to use you

He guides those who are willing

And it’s not up to you to decide if your dream is worth killing

You’ve got a soul contract to live into your life’s call

Don’t worry about failing, you will, it’s a part of it

But you’ve got sisters here to catch you when you fall

Choose love

Choose forgiveness

Choose courage

Choose your truth.

Every single time you show up

It gives more hope for our youth

Stay close to what makes you feel ALIVE

Don’t just survive

That’s not why you’re here

But you gotta continue to do the things that help you get clear.

PAY ATTENTION to soul hits, nudges and winks

AND whenever you get them, take action and don’t think

Sometimes when I’m quiet, when I’m running, or if Eminem’s rapping

I’ll lose myself in the music and feel God start the tapping

On three, everybody get up, we’re gonna start clapping

3, 2, 1…

Sister you're a star – you’re a strong girl

Playin’ in your gifts - gonna start to change the world today

You got glitter on yo' face

Your hair’s in place

Spreading your magic all over the place

Singin’

We will, we will rise up

Show Notes

My friend, founder of Organifi and now author, Drew Canole is back on the show and I couldn’t be more happy as I feel a bit like I need to redeem myself after my last interview with him – I can’t believe how nervous I was last time! Since that time, not only have we hung out multiple times, but we’ve participated in a week-long retreat in Costa Rica together as well. I never knew it was possible to laugh so much! Drew has definitely helped me see that fun is a requirement of up-leveling our lives!

Drew has a unique ability to help others tap into different parts of their lives and uncover who they truly are. And one of the primary ways Drew is doing that today is through his new book, You Be You, where he guides readers to “detox their lives, crush their limitations and own their awesome.” Why achieve your goals or present the world with a counterfeit version of yourself when it will never feel completely true to who you are?

Be prepared to have a lot of laughs and hear a lot of wisdom in our candid conversation. And if you’re looking for a way to unlock that next level of being YOU, definitely pick up his book!

Question Highlights:

Why did you pick the title of your book?
When you’re in your “light body,” what does that feel like?
In the past, who did you think you needed to be in order to navigate through life in a successful way?
Do you ever go through “seasons” – a winter or a dry spell?
Once you achieve a goal, what do you do next? How do you unlock the next level?
In your life right now, is there any area where you’re not fully showing up as yourself?
What are the conversations coming out of your Organifi book club?
Why is this book making such huge shifts?
Why should people grab your book?

Quotes

"When you choose to do something in the moment, you have to be present.”

“When you’re present is the only time you can manifest or materialize your goals, desires and dreams.”

“The world doesn’t need a counterfeit you. The planet needs a re-remembering of who you truly are.”

“When you start to give more love to yourself, you open up a world of possibilities.”

Drew Canole is an author, transformation coach, and founder of Organifi. Drew has helped thousands of women and men revitalize their health, ignite their vision, and shift the course of their life forever. After reaching a dead end in his own health, Drew discovered the chasm of difference between going through the motions and living with radical intention. He now helps people tap into the "Big You" to create the change they never thought possible.

278: What You Have To Do NEXT in Order to GROW
Oct 11, 2018

Fair warning to you before you start listening to today’s episode – I am en fuego! Having just attended Lewis Howes’ Summit of Greatness and being surrounded by 1,500+ big thinkers, there’s no way I couldn’t be. It’s events like these that force me to take chances and go for the things that scare the living crap out of me!

“Fear is your invite for growth.”

The purpose of life is growth and progress. We are all meant to find what makes us fulfilled and happy, but sometimes that’s the thing we fear the most.

As an exercise, I want you to write down the 10 things you’re most afraid of – they can be big or small. These are your next steps. From here, circle the least scary step – or perhaps the scariest step. Whichever you choose, act on it, no matter how uncomfortable or scared you are. Rejection or failure is inevitable, but the biggest gifts are on the other side.

No, I’m not super human, but I will say after receiving 21 rejections on my books, I am grateful for them because they helped me land the publishing company that liked it! Plus, consistently doing the things that I have fear around helps me grow and throughout that process I’m also showing thousands of others that they too can do it.

Most recently one of my fears is about sharing a spoken word poem I wrote for my friend, Danette May’s event this weekend. I love doing this, but I’m terrified of what others think! (Be sure to tune in because I’m sharing a small portion of it with you.) But here’s the thing, I want to grow and I don’t want to leave this world living up to anything less than my highest potential. I do mess up while reading it, but I’ve left it in because I want you to see that sometimes we have to mess up and let others see it in order to free them as well. I hope it gives you some of that freedom, too.

So today, stop playing small. Do something messy, unplanned or share something that doesn’t feel good. And be sure to share it with me over on IG…I love hearing from you!

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Why the purpose of life is growth and progress
Why the biggest gifts are on the other side of fear
Her upcoming spoken word performance

277: How to Become the Person Who Makes BIG Impact with Tom Bilyeu
Oct 08, 2018

I am so thrilled today to have Tom Bilyeu on the show! I recently had the amazing opportunity and experience of being interviewed on his podcast, Impact Theory and I couldn’t wait to continue the conversation and learn even more about the similarities in our lives and business – and this time, pick his brain.

Similar to my journey, Tom grew up in a family who struggled with their weight, and broke the pattern by choosing to pave a healthier way for himself and as result change the trajectory of his life at the same time. That’s why today he’s so passionate about helping others who struggle with their weight. However, Tom is the first to acknowledge that it’s not always an easy path. In fact, when it comes to success in weight loss or a business or career, nothing is guaranteed – except the pain or struggle. And to get through any of that, you must take action and also accept that you may not be right about x-y-z right now. We have to be willing to make changes if we want to see change.

Tune in to learn just what Tom does that helps him do just that. He shares so many tangible takeaways for all of us to start looking at what we’re doing right now and more into our next level of life. Please let me know what thoughts or actions you put into place because of them!

Question Highlights:

Can you tell us a little about your background and what got you started in studying film?
What’s the difference between finding knowledge and finding what motivates you?
What is it in your mind that makes you contemplate what is good and change your path?
What do you do and what do you look for in order to make sure you’re putting yourself in those spaces?
What does creativity mean to you and what would your life look like without it?
Where does the creation of a comic book fit into things right now?
What’s your grand vision for what you’re doing right now?
Do you know what that one story is?
How are you seeking out the people needed for your next level?

In This Episode We Talk about:

Tom’s family history of obesity
Why Tom’s deeply passionate about helping people who struggle with weight
Why the brain is malleable until we die
Embracing inadequacies
80/20 motivation principle
The difference between drive and ambition
How Quest Nutrition was founded on passion
Why Tom wasn’t a born entrepreneur
The concept of renewal in nature and in life
Cultivating a frame of reference
Tom’s eagerness to reinvent himself
Finding fulfillment
Accepting that you’re wrong about things now
Why being the smartest person in the room is a trap
Being “anti-fragile”
Harnessing adaptability
Building relationships and making authentic connections
And so much more…

Quotes

“I’m going to believe the things that empower me.”

“The gap between where you are and what you want to accomplish is a gap of skillset. It is you not being good enough.”

“If you want to get to extraordinary, you’re going to have to realize that we’re rewarded and punished.”

“Drive is the willingness to act on a day-to-day basis in a way that moves you toward your goals. Ambition is having the goals.”

“To develop my drive, I had to suffer.”

“Things that are hard are gonna be the things that develop who you are.”

“What would we do and love every day even if we were failing?”

“The struggle is guaranteed – the success is not.”

“The skillset you already have has already taken you as far as its going to unless you do something that introduces you to a new idea that you turn into a usable skill.”

Tom Bilyeu is the co-founder of 2014 Inc. 500 company Quest Nutrition — a unicorn startup valued at over $1 billion — and the co-founder and host of Impact Theory. Tom’s mission is to break people out of the Matrix by sharing transformative content and fostering one-to-one communication within the Impact Theory community. Tom believes that human potential is nearly limitless, but the dual pandemics of mental and physical malnutrition are hindering a realization of this potential. Through in-depth interviews with the world’s top achievers, including Gary Vaynerchuk, Maria Sharapova, and Mel Robbins, Tom explores mindset-shifting tactics, questions accepted belief systems, and uncovers distinctive strategies for success.

Tom regularly inspires audiences of entrepreneurs, change makers, and thought leaders at prestigious conferences and seminars around the world, including Success Live, Hustle Con, Thrive, Abundance 360, Mindvalley’s A-fest, and Freedom Fast Lane. Tom has been featured on numerous top-rated podcasts such the Tony Robbins Podcast, The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes, Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey, and the Dr. Drew Podcast, and has been featured in Forbes, Inc., Success, and The Huffington Post. He is currently on the Innovation Board of the XPRIZE Foundation.

276: Anxiety and Productivity Hack!
Oct 04, 2018

Today I’m talking about the vital topic of taking action and curing those moments where you’re just sitting in pain thinking. The last week (typically in the mornings is when I struggle the most), I’ve been overthinking – everything. Have you ever caught yourself in a downward spiral like this? And it’s during moments like these that I’m really trying to work on shortening the amount of time they last.

“Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice.”

Here’s my hack – even though I drag my feet sometimes. TAKE ACTION!

“Action cures anxiety.”

Here’s the thing, even something infinitesimally small and new leads to new results. Plus, when your mood is more neutral, and less in a place of suffering, you’re in a better place to welcome new ideas and opportunities. I’m not saying you need to take action all the time…far from it. After all, we need time to relax and connect with other people, but please do not choose suffering! Take the action that will make you feel better. (Trust me, I wouldn’t tell you anything that I wouldn’t tell myself!)

I want you to know that I see you taking uncertain actions despite those doubts in your head, and I’m cheering you on. Thank goodness for tribe because even though I’m scared too, I know I have a group of people that have my back regardless of what’s going on. And I’m here to tell you that no matter what you’re going through right now, I just want you to know that I think you’re magic. We are all magic and we’re not meant to suffer and play small! You need to keep pushing forward and sharing your uniqueness with the world!

Thank you so much for listening and supporting my podcast. If this message resonated with you, please share with a friend and be sure to shoot me a note on IG – I would love to hear how it resonated with you!

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Taking new action for new results
Limiting the time between taking action and suffering, and designating a time to rest
Why suffering is a choice

275: Go With Your Gut - The Journey of Releasing Emotional and Physical Weight with Robyn Youkilis
Oct 01, 2018

You know how every now and then you get lucky and have a conversation with someone who just “gets” you, your journey and how your brain works? Well, today’s guest, Robyn Youkilis checked that box. Growing up in a family that used food as a source of love, comfort and connection, I could completely relate. Don’t get me wrong this is a great thing, however the breaking point for Robyn (and myself) is when we started gaining weight and that warm, fuzzy connection went away and instead turned into a difficult connection.

Once she made this realization, Robyn set out to create a new conversation around food and weight. She didn’t want to view things as “good” or “bad,” rather she wanted to slow things down and figure out what foods would best support her body.

After much trial and error (that still happens on a daily basis), she now teaches others that it’s OK if you don’t have it all figured out – it may even take decades. It’s all about finding a formula that works for your body and adheres to what your intuition is telling you and keeps you in alignment. She also touches on how motherhood impacted her relationship with food and how it led to an impactful shift in her life then and now.

I had such a great time connecting with Robyn during this conversation. If you’re someone who struggles with your relationship with food, this episode is a must listen (and her book, Thin from Within, a must read).

Question Highlights:

What is your life philosophy and how did you get to this place?
What did the process of slowing down look for you?
How has food become a foundation for everything you’re doing?
What’s something in your life right now that you’re so excited about that you weren’t able to do before because food/body was taking up so much space in your brain?
What is lighting you up the most right now?
What is a question you wish more people would ask you?
Do you have a secret dream that you envision for your future?

In This Episode We Talk about:

Robyn’s relationship with food and how it changed at age 13
The emotional and physical weight of not living in alignment
Food as an experience
Robyn’s initial resistance with motherhood and how it was a major foundational shift for her
How Robyn has learned to slow down, connect with her body and intuition and gut, teach from that place and “calm the eff down”
How to connect with your body
Setting intention behind activities to achieve alignment
Finding your intuitive food voice
Robyn’s power yogurt parfait and Rule of Five Plate
The connection between your food/body and success in other areas of your life
Rockstar Coaching Program
Robyn’s new book, “Thin from Within”
Why Robyn wants people to how she “does it all”
And so much more…

Quotes

“You feel good when you're connected to other people.”

“My body is my home.”

“Let your own story and journey be what you want it to be and know that it’s OK.”

“Go with your gut.”

Robyn Youkilis is an AADP Certified Health Coach, author, speaker, and leading expert in holistic digestive health. For nearly a decade, Robyn has helped clients shed both physical and emotional weight with her straightforward yet supportive coaching style, Your Healthiest You. She is the author of the best-selling books, Go with Your Gut and Thin From Within - The Go with Your Gut Way to Lose Weight, and has been featured by The Cooking Channel, The View, The Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, Health, Mind Body Green, Well Good, The Chalkboard Mag and more.

Robyn currently lives in New York City and Los Angeles with her husband and their daughter. She has been a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) for nearly a decade and enjoys traveling, music festivals and eating dessert at fancy restaurants (one bite at a time, that is!).

274: Why Being Out Of "Alignment" Helps You
Sep 27, 2018

I’m fresh off a mastermind call with my closest sister friends and I’ve come to the realization that it’s OK to be a walking, breathing contradiction. Typically, when it comes to being in alignment, we’ve always talked about lining it up with our true purpose or highest potential. While I still believe this is a part of it, I also think a bigger part of it is being aligned with your truth in the present moment.

In order to feel this “truth” though you have to sometimes be out of alignment and feel those feelings, too. Sometimes this means feelings of darkness and ugliness or worry and insecurity. It’s super important though that we not stay in these feelings too long. Acknowledge them and that you feel out of alignment, and make the conscious choice to leave that dark place (or whatever emotion you’re feeling) when the time is right. Remember that this is all a part of the human experience and determine if there is something you could do to make yourself feel better.

Admittedly, I’m in a bit of a dark season right now. I have a ton of amazing things happening in my life now, but there’s this nagging voice in the back of my head that tells me I need to set some more goals and accomplish more. I’m in a season where I need to find self-worthiness without having a ton of goals to prove that I am. Can anyone relate?

Have I navigated my way through this particular season yet? No – I’m still working through it. So, right now I’m giving myself grace and allowing myself to feel all the feels. I’m choosing healthy outlets such as walks, nourishing foods and yes, sometimes crying it out, because choosing a downward spiral isn’t going to serve me in the long run. I’m committing to move forward…period.

I hope this helps you if you’re also going through a similar season. Continue to nurture yourself and one day, when things clear, you’ll realize that it was all meant to help you keep in alignment with your true purpose.

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Redefining what alignment means
Why your value shouldn’t be tied to your accomplishments
The seasons of life

273: Turn Pain and Fear into Courage and Learn How to Talk to Anyone with Alex Banayan
Sep 24, 2018

I love a good story and today’s guest, author Alex Banayan has a great one – so much so that parts of it have become part of my husband Chris and I’s daily walks. Thank goodness I met him in person when Chris interviewed him so I knew whose stories he was actually talking about. ;) Another fun coincidence, we’ve both been on the Price Is Right, but Alex actually WON and used those winnings to fund his new book, The Third Door.

Alex shares with us his seven-year book journey that lead him to interview some of the world’s most successful people to show how they broke through and launched their careers. But let’s not downplay the fears and obstacles that Alex had to navigate through as well. From disappointing his family and losing his father to insecurity and being turned down by potential interviewees, Alex was persistent and now helps others conquer obstacles of all kinds – internal and external.

Alex truly is a gifted storyteller and I know you’ll be able to relate to some many facets of his journey. You don’t want to miss it!

Question Highlights:

Now that your book is out in the world, what has been a response that you weren’t expecting?
What was the whole point of writing your book?
What does pain with awareness look like for you right now?
Do you think there’s always a way for anything you choose or just for the moments when your gut pulls you that way?
Have you ever had to let go of helping someone in your life because they’re not ready to help themselves?
What was a story that freed you up the most?
What is something that shook you before your book came out?
What are you most excited about right now?
Who is the ultimate person you want to read your book?

In This Episode We Talk about:

Alex’s seven-year book journey
Using pain as a motivator
Evolving motivation
Alex’s insecurity while writing The Third Door
How Alex’s pain evolved into curiosity
How Alex’s Price Is Right winnings funded his book
Why being naïve can be an advantage
The difference between fear and courage
Why Alex’s family didn’t initially support his book
Welcoming fear to get more comfortable
How fear was a universal element in achieving a dream in all the people Alex interviewed
Sharing in order to connect with others
How to conquer internal and external obstacles
And so much more…

Quotes

“Pain with awareness is our teacher.”

“You can give someone all the best tools and knowledge in the world and their life can still be stuck, but if you change what someone believes is possible, they’ll never be the same.”

“Courage is acknowledging fears, analyzing the consequences and then deciding you care so much about it you’re going to take one thoughtful step forward anyway.”

ALEX BANAYAN is the author of the national bestseller The Third Door, which chronicles his five-year quest to track down Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Warren Buffett, Maya Angelou, Steven

Spielberg, and dozens more of the world’s most successful people to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.

Banayan has been named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, Business Insider’s Most Powerful People Under 30, and been featured in major media including Fortune, Forbes, Businessweek, Billboard,

Bloomberg TV, CNBC, Fox News, MSNBC, and CBS News. An acclaimed keynote speaker, Banayan has presented the Third Door framework to business conferences and corporate leadership teams around the world, including Apple, Google, Nike, IBM, Snapchat, Salesforce, Disney, Harvard, and countless others.

272: The SECRET To Reaching Your Next Level
Sep 20, 2018

This past weekend I spoke at the Thrive event in Las Vegas (which was amazing), and I also came to the realization that my life is one big classroom. You see, I got sick the morning of the day I was supposed to speak. I’m not sure if it was food poisoning or the flu, but needless to say I wasn’t going anywhere for a while. It was like life was flashing a big neon sign with a message that was impossible for me to ignore. In fact, there were multiple nudges, messages and signs that day, but I’ll leave those for another episode as I’m still marinating in a few of them. One thing I’ve come to realize though is that:

“Every single thing that happens can be a breakthrough lesson and everyone can be a teacher.”

Now this doesn’t mean that nothing bothers us, but it does mean that we get to choose how we view a particular situation and move through it. Yes, you may struggle and it may be annoying or painful, but the sooner we can accept it, the more quickly we’re able to advance to the next level.

“The sooner we accept the obstacle as a lesson or the person as a teacher, we get to move through it faster.”

As Tom Bilyeu shared with me just the other day, “Struggle is guaranteed, success is not.” In order to get to the next level, we have to experience it all. And if we’re going to struggle, we may as well get something useful out of it, yes?

Compare it to a rookie’s journey to becoming a pro. There’s always that point where the rookie is thrown in the game and the team may win or they might lose. The rookie will learn the do’s and don’ts – most likely the hard way. Whatever they experience though, it’s necessary because the coaches make the decision to move up that particular player if they don’t see them in action.

Once you realize that obstacles and people (yes, even those rude people in traffic) are here to teach us, you will experience a whole new level of freedom. It will be uncomfortable and you might shout expletives now and again, but practice and sharpening the skills of love, compassion, boundaries and saying no will help you step into that next level of your life.

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Why life is our classroom
Why struggle is inevitable
Viewing obstacles as lessons and people as teachers

270: Take Your POWER Back NOW!
Sep 13, 2018

With a lot of speaking engagements going on for me right now and in the near future, I’ve had to really stop and observe my anxious tendencies and the thoughts that often go along with them. It’s amazing how powerful our thoughts and inner dialogue can be. Today’s episode is all about freeing yourself from the labels that hold you back and knowing that you’re the only one who has that power to do so.

How often have you heard, “I have such anxiety when it comes to speaking in front of people”? Hand raised over here because I’ve definitely said it to myself before. But here’s where we change it. We don’t “have” anxiety. We “do” anxiety. We don’t “have” no energy. We “do” no energy. And it’s in this doing that we have the choice as to what we do or don’t do. See where I’m going with this?

I’d like you to do a quick exercise to take back your power. First, write what you “have.”

Example: I have anxiety.

Now cross that out and write DO instead.

I have anxiety. I DO anxiety.

Now describe how you “do” anxiety right now? What actions are supporting this feeling? What thoughts?

I’m drinking coffee. I’m checking messages right when I wake up. I’m eating crappy food and isolating myself. I keep telling myself how nervous I am and that I’m going to forget what I’m saying on stage.

Take notice of the conversation in your mind and watch how you’re talking to yourself. If you’re anxious, reframe and tell yourself how excited you are and why. Replace your thoughts with better thoughts and take your control back!

No lie, it doesn’t always go fast. But keep trying on different feelings until it does feel good.

“Choose how you feel.”

Tell yourself, “I can undo any feeling I don’t want to be in.”

And remember, once you start putting out these better feelings, you’ll notice that you’re attracting more too.

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Freeing yourself from labels that hold you back
Taking ownership of your thoughts
Why you don’t “have” anxiety, you “do” anxiety

269: Making Big Changes in Unconventional Ways with Henry Ammar
Sep 10, 2018

When you have conversations like the one I had with founder and CEO of MakeItHappen.Life, Henry Ammar, you can’t help but leave a better human. Pure goodness exudes from Henry and it’s no wonder since he’s made it his mission to boost self-love and self-confidence by creating practical transformative experiences through fun dynamic events that infuse pop culture with empowerment.

Experiencing firsthand in his younger years an ongoing lack of self-confidence and self-love, Henry now wants to help the younger generation today, because they’re still not seeing the beauty and truth of who they are.

Listen in to hear all about Henry’s journey thus far, what he’s doing to help others, what’s coming up and what he sees happening down the road. I personally cannot wait to see all of this ideas and partnerships come to fruition, because any event with him will make a huge impact on the masses.

Question Highlights:

How did you recently come to speak in front of 50,000 people?
How did you realize music was the modality for you and that you were going to use it for good?
How did you get in touch with believing in signs?
What was your tipping point that made you ditch your limiting beliefs?
Where are you at right now with your projects? What’s happening next?

In This Episode We Talk about:

How a series of low-probability happenings led to Henry speaking in Serbia to 50,000 people
Why Henry feels music is unifying
Henry’s career journey from music to entrepreneur to USC to corporate real estate
Creating a practical transformative experience through pop culture
Having real conversations in a loving and empowering way
Why Henry is obsessed with truth and love
Listening to your inner voice
The carrot, egg and tea bag analogy
The power/gift of choice
Using fear as self-awareness and for elevation
VIZing
The power of perspective
Comfort zone expansion
And so much more…

Quotes

“Change the frequency of humanity through mass media.”

“Let’s make self-awareness and self-love cool.”

268: Uncover the Beliefs Your Current Tribe Is Reinforcing
Sep 06, 2018

Just a head’s up that today’s topic may be a touch overwhelming for some, but I don’t want anyone to get too worried, because when it comes to shifting and changing a person’s beliefs – it’s actually never-ending.

I’ve discovered recently just how important it is to take inventory of one’s tribe, aka the people who we’re spending the most time with. Keep in mind that this can be actual people, television, podcasts etc. I like to also call them reinforcers.

I want you to do a quick exercise and write down the following:

List five people who you’re around the most.
What is the main belief, habit or limiting belief or thing that they are reinforcing in your life?

When completed, review and determine if these habits and beliefs are reflecting back at you. Are they holding you back? Don’t panic if it’s not what you thought. I’m certainly not here to tell you who to hang out with and I certainly won’t tell you to ditch friends who aren’t “positive” enough. But I am telling you that you may want to load the other portions of your “plate” with more positive or up-leveling people. Crowd out your plate in a positive direction.

Maybe that means joining a new group or mastermind? Maybe it’s adding more podcasts, books or self-development events to your life. Whatever it is, just make sure to, “set up a life and tribe that reflects where you’re going and not where you’re at.”

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Taking a tribe inventory
Shifting and changing belief systems
Why we need more positive reinforcers in our lives

267: Ways to ATTRACT WEALTH Rather Than Chase It with Patrice C. Washington
Sep 03, 2018

Money doesn’t guarantee fulfillment and today’s guest, Patrice Washington, is hoping more women catch on. As an award-winning author, transformational speaker, hope-restoring coach, and media personality, she started her first 7-figure mortgage-brokering business with her husband before graduating college. Their business was wildly successful until the recession crashed and they lost everything.

Picking herself up after this experience, she realized that she had a lot of knowledge but needed to seek more wisdom. She dug deep and knew it was more important to chase her purpose – not money. She discovered that life is about so much more – relationships, your well-being and your faith to name a few. Recognizing the power of this discovery, she created the 6 Pillars of Redefining Wealth, and now teaches others how they can tie each pillar back to producing wealth – and stay true to who they’re called to be.

I had such a great time talking with Patrice – she is such a down-to-earth, purpose-driven woman who relies on faith and her own unique calling to help others find theirs as well. I hope this episode empowers you to break free from any limiting beliefs that you have about yourself and helps you step into your highest purpose and calling.

Question Highlights:

What were some things you took back from your recent trip to France?
Does the thought of working with your husband again scare you?
What is lighting you up right now in your life?
What is something you would say to someone who’s ignoring a redefining moment?
How do you trust? What do you rely on to push past fear?
What are the 6 Pillars of Redefining Wealth?
What’s something that helps build your faith foundation?
What mindset do you keep through the dark times?
What’s a message on your heart right now?

In This Episode We Talk about:

How Patrice’s recent trip to France impacted her
How Patrice and her husband are merging their interests to work together
Being driven by purpose
The shift that happened in Patrice’s life after her and her husband lost their 7-figure business when the recession hit
The difference between knowledge and wisdom
Why Patrice initially started a blog
How Patrice broke out of the box she (and others) had put herself in
Why there’s more to money than budgets and credit reports
Patrice’s 6 Pillars of Redefining Wealth (Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work and Money)
Protecting the vessel needed to create the vision
Creating relationships that matter
The Redefining Wealth Podcast
And so much more…

Quotes

“The purpose that we’re being called into is greater than any pain that will come with it.”

“Create a lane where you can be all you.”

“I’m committed to the vision but not attached to how I get there.”

“If it was done before, it can be done again.”

“Everything can go bad with money, but if your mind is in the right place, you can always rebuild.”

“You know who you used to be, so before you allow someone to take you back there, give yourself time.”

“You can decide to not decide anything until you’re ready to decide.”

“Choose peace powerfully.”

Patrice Washington is an award-winning author, transformational speaker, hope-restoring coach, and media personality.

Patrice got her start as your favorite personal finance expert, “America’s Money Maven,” having tremendous success with her “mindset approach” to personal finance. She has since expanded her brand and mission, encouraging women to chase purpose, not money.

Patrice is committed to redefining the word “wealth,” using its original meaning, “well-being.” She encourages women to have “wealth” in all aspects of their lives by pursuing their purpose, being fulfilled, and earning more without ever chasing money. Through her teachings, Patrice empowers women to look at life through the lens of abundance and opportunity, instead of lack and scarcity.

As the founder of Redefining Wealth and The Earn More Money Movement for Women, Patrice has built a thriving community of high-achieving women committed to creating a powerful life vision – in their careers, home, health, and personal finances.

266: Why I Believe You DON'T Have All You Need Inside You
Aug 30, 2018

“You have everything you need inside of you.”

You may have read or heard this quote from me before, but if I’m being honest, the first time I heard this quote I called BS on it. I mean sure, it’s an empowering concept, but if you don’t know how to look at it from all sides (which I didn’t when I first heard it), it’s disempowering.

But here’s where it does hold true. You do have everything you need right now to start asking questions and to be resourceful. How empowering is that?

“You have all you need to in order to create whatever you’re desiring in your life.”

For example, when I first started my podcast, I knew nothing…I mean nothing about starting a podcast. So I started researching (Google) and finding others who could help me get it off the ground. I was not meant to create all the things by myself. For this particular endeavor, I had the idea and it was up to me to move it forward. It was literally a matter of asking the right questions.

All that’s left to do is start! After all, “pure bliss is becoming the person that you knew you were meant to be.” But it’s up to you to create the experiences in order to bring that person into reality.

Now to all my over-thinkers out there (you know who you are), you may be coming up with a list a mile long of all the reasons you just can’t do it. But here’s my advice: start now! If you don’t take action, you won’t fulfill your purpose. It sounds harsh, but it’s true.

Don’t worry if things don’t go as planned. Know that it’s all a part of the process and that the universe will provide a soft landing. And even if you feel that sometimes your actions are selfish, know that you’re making progress and it’s somehow affecting someone in a beautiful way.

Are you with me? Let’s start taking action – big and small steps – now!

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Why everything you need isn’t inside of you
Being resourceful
Creating experiences to help you step into your highest purpose

265: Why Your Story Is The Most Powerful Thing You Can Share with Cayla Craft
Aug 27, 2018

Having grown up in a broken but happy family, today’s guest, Cayla Craft, knew she was meant to do big things and help people. However, she first had to change the lens she was viewing her life through. In order for her to create what she wanted out of life, she had to ditch the mentality of “I am nothing,” and instead share her story to help others.

Once Cayla realized that there was no need to compare her journey with someone else’s, she could stop trying to please everyone, find her purpose, dictate how she lived her life and make herself a priority. And that’s just what she did.

As a result, today Cayla is a self-made millionaire and now teaches other entrepreneurial women how to do the same. She gives women the tools and resources they need to have an abundant mindset and shamelessly pursue their ambitions while still enjoying life.

There were so many moments I related to throughout our conversation and I have a feeling many of you will as well. I would love to hear what those moments are! Happy listening!

Question Highlights:

Did you always know that you were going to do big things and help a lot of people?
What is something you would say to someone who is still in that push phase or exhausting themselves?
When did you know your story was the most powerful thing you could share?
What do you tell someone to get started on in order to feel fulfilled and successful?
Why is it so important to make sure you’re creating new relationships and leaving old ones behind?
Why do we feel like we need to please others and how do we break ourselves from that mindset?
If someone is on the verge of having a difficult conversation, what would you tell them?
Have you ever experienced “imposter syndrome,” and if so, how did you deal with it?
What are your fears right now and how do you handle them?
What do you think is the biggest difference between people who are creating the life they love and stepping into their authentic truth and those who aren’t?

In This Episode We Talk about:

Cayla’s upbringing in a broken, but happy home
Why Cayla felt like a warrior for so long
Removing the lens of “I am nothing.”
Why self-awareness is the first step of transformation
The importance of doing the internal work
Reframing your story and finding your purpose
Creating new relationships and leaving behind old relationships that aren’t serving you behind
Making yourself a priority
Allowing others to feel uncomfortable so they can grow
Why we can never take anything personally
How Cayla preps when she needs to have difficult/uncomfortable conversations
Different perceptions of reality
Putting your focus on serving others
How Cayla’s raising kids that live empowered and inspired lives
Mommy Millionaire Podcast
And so much more…

Quotes

“You’ve already done enough; now it’s time for your message to be heard.”

“You have to change the story – you have to rewrite what you want out of your life.”

“Self-awareness is the first key to transformation.”

“Stop living your life for an audience that doesn’t exist.”

“Stop looking outward and start looking inward.”

“I don’t need to Google – the answers are already inside of me.”

Cayla Craft is a mom of 3, self-made millionaire, and lifestyle entrepreneur. The California native went from saving lives in the ER as a nurse working 9-5 to helping women pursue a passion for owning their own business. Her first taste of success began when she created an organization of 60k+ people for Isagenix, a company that sells health and wellness supplements. From that platform she branched out into business coaching and found incomparable satisfaction from helping others achieve success.

Cayla has helped thousands of women start to believe in themselves as entrepreneurs and business women. Her goal is to help mothers gain insight and confidence in their entrepreneurial endeavors, and grow their business to 7 figures! She gives women the tools and resources they need to have an abundant mindset and shamelessly pursue their ambitions while still enjoying life as a mom.

Cayla created Mommy Millionaire to fill a void of community driven by women searching to grow from good to great. Mommy Millionaire seeks to pour out practical tips and business know-how that is current and relevant to what is working today. Cayla is an expert in speaking about sales, culture, and online marketing with experience in keynote speeches on connecting.

264: Why Being Dissatisfied Can Be A Great Thing
Aug 23, 2018

I want to start off by saying a huge thank you to all who listen and follow this podcast. As we fly into 8 million downloads, I have to keep pinching myself to ensure it’s all real. I couldn’t do this without you all and I am so, so grateful that you choose to spend part of your day listening.

A couple months back, I heard the phrase “I am blissfully dissatisfied with my life,” from the amazing Ed Mylett. And I love the balance of the two words because it means being blissfully happy with where you’re at while being equally dissatisfied with wanting more or knowing you have more to give.

“In order to be a happy human, we have to make progress.”

Whether it’s in terms of your health, family, relationships or your business, progress keeps us alive! The other day the idea of being blissfully dissatisfied was brought back into my life when I received a message from a follower. Upon first glance this woman looked like someone I could be friends with – she was a yogi, into wellness etc. – but upon reading the first sentence (I’m going to have to unfollow you because you seem to have a ‘deep dissatisfaction’ with your life), I don’t think we’ll be friends anytime soon. I close the message before I could read the whole thing because honestly, I was breathing fire! Then I took a moment, went back, blocked her and deleted the message. Sure, I could have responded, but people with energy like that are not for me.

So anyway, this message got me thinking back to what Ed Mylett had said and I honestly thought… I am equal parts satisfied and dissatisfied – and I’m totally OK with that. You see, as humans, we’re not wired to be happy. We have a need to be better – for ourselves and others. But in order to find this balance, we can’t be focused on satisfaction in ALL areas at ALL times. We must give ourselves grace in the areas that aren’t the priority and pour ourselves into the other areas despite potential side effects.

So yes, I will never be satisfied, but I will ALWAYS be blissful. And I will always strive to show as much love, grace and compassion to all those who think I feel otherwise.

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Why progressing is crucial for our happiness
How she dealt with an unkind message
Giving yourself grace

263: Further Your Business and Relationships through Collaboration, NOT Competition with Jaclyn Johnson
Aug 20, 2018

I’ve been stalking following today’s guest, Jaclyn Johnson’s @createcultivate IG page for quite some time now. In fact, before I knew her personally, her event photos helped inspire me to create my own stage for The Bliss Project. But here’s the thing, Jaclyn’s events are way more than a gorgeous stage – they’re all about collaboration and helping other women create and cultivate the career of their dreams.

Don’t be fooled though, Create & Cultivate conferences aren’t just for entrepreneurs – they’re for all women who are looking for a refresh of inspiration in all things business.

Jaclyn and I talk about her rough start as a naïve 23-year-old entrepreneur who didn’t know what she was doing, the lessons she learned from it and why it helped her become the wildly successful CEO Creative & Cultivate she is today. Jaclyn also shares why Creative & Cultivate is thriving and why she hopes to help others with her new book, WorkParty, by providing tips on how to run a business, how to start thinking like an entrepreneur and how to maintain friendships, relationships and partnerships along the way. Since this interview I’ve completed her book and it’s definitely an inspirational must-read!

Question Highlights:

Where are you at right now and how did you get there?
What would you tell someone who’s looking for the next thing to get started and take the leap?
What’s a question you’ve never been asked that you think people should ask when they’re starting a business or in a business?
What does white space mean?
What is a lesson that’s been painful and awesome?
How did you learn not to take things personal?
What do you do for yourself in order to make decisions and implement the culture you want?
What is something you’re most excited about and something you’re working through right now?
What is something you do with your team every single week to keep your team cohesive?
What are the most important messages of your book, WorkParty?
Who is someone you look up to right now for inspiration?
What are your Creative & Cultivate events/conferences like?
How do you let go of people/relationships that aren’t serving you?
Why this book right now and who needs it?

In This Episode We Talk about:

How Jaclyn’s entrepreneurial journey started and lead to founding Create & Cultivate
Why we tend to be more creative when we have nothing to lose
Runway and goal-setting
Jaclyn’s definition of “white space” in the business world
The importance of getting things in writing in terms of getting serious and legalities
Friendships and business
Approaching business from a human perspective by not escalating and remaining level-headed and fair
Why work is part of Jaclyn’s self-care
Keeping separation between business and those friends who are near and dear
Scaling and growing a business while maintaining authenticity of the brand
The most important messages of Jaclyn’s book, WorkParty
Going against the status quo of what business looks like for women
Handling hard decisions in the best way
Why it’s so much better to collaborate vs. compete with others
Why Jaclyn wrote WorkParty
And so much more…

Quotes

“The reason I was wildly successful was because I didn’t play by the rules.”

“You’ll never know unless you just do it.”

“Start by just starting.”

“Collaboration over competition.”

“So much more can happen if we’re on the same team.”

Jaclyn Johnson is a powerhouse entrepreneur. By the time she was 28, she had sold her first business, (No Subject), invested in one of the country’s top female owned startups, Away, and launched her second multimillion dollar company, Create & Cultivate.

Johnson recognized a gap in resources for female millennial entrepreneurs and responded with solutions, Create & Cultivate and now, WorkParty. In the process, Jaclyn’s own philosophy, built on female empowerment, hustling-hard and innovation have propelled her voice to the forefront of the discussion on career, a new thought-leader for millennial women and Gen-Z-ers.

Known for her powerful messaging and often imitated never duplicated style of digital and experiential marketing, Johnson is reshaping attitudes on female entrepreneurialism, work culture and the gig economy for women all over the world.

In August, Jaclyn’s new book, WorkParty releases via Simon & Schuster, offering her rallying cry for women in the workplace.

262: Oprah, You, Me, Bahamas and Manifesting 101
Aug 16, 2018

Today’s episode is a super special quickie and it involves something I’ve been manifesting for years. While I was wrapping up my three-week European vacation I received notice that I was selected to be a speaker on one of the Oprah Magazine Cruises – yes, THE Oprah! My mind is still whirling from this news.

I firmly believe that this opportunity came up after I finally cleared enough stuff to make room for it while I allowed myself to recharge and get away on my trip. And honestly, as odd as it sounds, once I was able to actually “let go” of my dream to meet Oprah (there was literally a dream where it happened – listen to hear about it) and know that either way, I’m OK – it happened. It’s all about living into your gifts.

Here’s a little Manifestation 101 on how I was able to live into my Oprah manifestation:

You have to put the work in, believe in a little bit of magic and have faith. Allow that dream to look different and probably the most important – be patient.
Focus on why you’re awesome and what you love about yourself. Who or what brings out that part of you?
Be the energy you want to attract. Raise your vibration to get there.
Get clear and declare it. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve likely heard my Oprah dream quite a few times. ;)
Release it. You are significant and loved regardless of whether or not this dream happens.

I would love to see you on the Oprah Cruise (to the Bahamas) with me! Check out the link in the resources and let’s fill that ship up with the highest-vibing people ever! It will be like a boat version of Bliss Project! Be sure to message or tag me on Instagram if you’re in – I cannot wait!

In This Episode Lori talks about:

Lori’s keynote speaker opportunity on an Oprah Magazine Cruise
Letting go of dreams to allow them to happen
Lori’s five tips to help you manifest what you desire
