    174: Allowing Yourself to Process is the First Step in Helping Others Oct 12, 2017
    Show notes

    With all of the recent events happening in the world between natural disasters, attacks and the loss of many lives, I’ve been asked how one should feel about these events. I’ve held back on responding because honestly, I didn’t know how I felt. I hadn’t even begun to process my feelings yet. But I do know that if we’re living in fear, it does nothing for the world.

    “When you are in fear, you are not in power.”

    So how do you take that power back? First, process your feelings – don’t pass them over. Heal yourself so you can spread love and light to others. Talk to someone, whether it’s a counselor, going to a trauma center or a dear friend who you know holds that space for you. Just be sure to give yourself the grace and space to process.

    Once you’ve healed, be sure to keep that love and light in your life by surrounding yourself with those who allow you to do the same.

    “Our environments reflect the results we get back in our minds.”

    We know that if we stay connected to these groups or tribes we can nip fear and powerlessness in the bud and step into our power.

    “When we put loving energy out it will be reflected to us in a bigger way in our lives.”

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

    • Why it’s important to process our feelings
    • How to take back your power when you feel powerless
    • Why we must join groups or tribes that are rooted in love and light

    172: How to START Doing What You WANT To Be Doing Oct 05, 2017
    Show notes

    Many don’t know this, but when I start selling my first eCourse, The Bliss Habit, I hadn’t even created it. Shocking, right? But it supports exactly what I want to talk with you all about today. You don’t have to know everything that you are doing before you actually get started!

    I know it sounds a little bass-ackwards, but I assure you that some of the most successful people in the world had no clue what they were doing when they first started – they just knew they had to take some sort of action.

    “You have to start doing to get clarity.”

    You can plan all day every day for months and still never have anything to put out there. This is where faith and commitment comes in. You must have faith that if you set a date or book a venue – take some sort of step forward, it will happen. Scary, right?

    “But in the panic there is complete magic.”

    And a little bit of science, too. Science has proven that when you’re committed and people are saying “yes,” and you have to deliver, your brain gets super laser-focused on doing just that.

    “The way to get started is to stop talking and begin doing.” – Walt Disney

    My advice. Set the date and move forward. There’s no magic formula – just go for it. Make the commitment and take action TODAY!

    What will you share with someone or commit to today?

    You'll Hear About:

    • Why you don’t have to know all the details before you get started

    • Why it’s so important to have faith

    • Why making a commitment can spur productivity

    171: How 5 Women Transformed Their Lives In Just A Weekend Oct 02, 2017
    Show notes

    As many of you know, my upcoming Bliss Project event is only months away and hundreds of you have already registered to join us. But I know that for some, you’re still on the fence for various reasons… Perhaps this would be your first self-development/empowerment retreat. For others, you’ve never left your family for a whole weekend. For others, there is a fear that you’re not “far enough” or knowledgeable enough to attend such an event.

Listen in to today’s conversation as I interview five women about their Bliss Project experiences. You will notice many overlapping answers and that’s because we are all way more alike than we are different.

    170: How To BECOME Your HIGHEST SELF Sep 28, 2017
    Show notes

    Up until very recently, I felt like I had a handle on facing my fears and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, but I’ve come to realize that I haven’t even scratched the surface!

    This weekend, I’m speaking at an event (THRIVE), and while I’m speaking to like-minded people, it’s not my usual audience. It’s got me stepping outside of my comfort zone and feeling all sorts of butterflies. It’s super beautiful and exciting but scary – all at the same time.

    This quote I posted on Instagram sums up this fear, excitement and growth that I’m feeling and who I need to become to get through it:

    “You’ll never grow into the woman you know you’re meant to be until she’s forced to come out. It’s your job to create a life she can’t hide from.”

    So what does this mean? It’s our job to create a life based on not our current selves, but instead our future selves. You have to do the things, go to the places and let that woman out!

    “You will rise to the occasion when your butt is on the line.”

    Sounds scary, I know, but that’s the point. We all have “alter egos” that only come out when called upon, but you must have faith that it will appear. If you create these places when you have so much riding on your performance your higher self will come out. And if it doesn’t happen the way you think and you fall flat on your face…GOOD! You didn’t die, your learned from it and you know how to change it for next time.

    “I’d rather be failing left and right and feeling alive and growing as a human being than walking around bored and half dead.”

    There is no magic potion. We are ALL created the same, some just have more faith that things will work out and their higher self won’t let them down.

    “Choose and create things that you have to show up for bigger than you ever have before.”

    Stop waiting and create those places and situations where your higher self can come alive! It will scare the crap out of you, but that’s when you know you’re living a life of purpose and fulfillment.

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

    • Why you must get uncomfortable to grow
    • Steps that will help you step into your higher self
    • How we all have alter egos that come out when you need to level up

    168: How to Select the RIGHT People for a Tribe Who Help You Reach the Next Level Sep 21, 2017
    Show notes

    This past week, I’ve been feeling the importance of my tribe on a whole new level. If you listened to my podcast with Mastin Kipp last week, you’ll understand what I mean when I say, “With every new level there’s a new devil.” This could not be more true!

    With my recent 14-Day Challenge wrapping up at the beginning of this week, I had a few instances come up that reminded me of the fact that the more challenges I do and the more people who join my tribe, the more diverse group of people I’m going to attract. And guess what? Even those these people are a part of my larger tribe, we all have different backgrounds and I’m not going to please everyone. It’s also a given that we’re not always going to understand one another.

    It seems so simple when you write it out like that, but I didn’t get there as easily. As a verbal processor, I depended on the support of my own personal tribe to get me there. This is a group of people who I’ve collected over time and who I know hold space for me when I need it. And let’s just say I sent out the Bat Signal for them this week!

    “Your tribe gives you feedback, but they’re also there just to hear you.”

    Feedback is always welcome, however sometimes it doesn’t help. This is why all relationships must be two-sided. There must be agreements in place and space held for the other party to process as well.

    “We have to create boundaries and we have to set clear ideas of what the relationship is.”

    This is, of course, different for every relationship and that is why you must communicate or one person may turn resentful. For me personally, I have a variety of tribe members. There are those that allow me to process, hold me accountable, support me, strategize, execute and celebrate. These lines do blend every now and then, but at the end of the day, I know who I can go to when I need it.

    So out of the above categories, which would help you the most right now? And which is the easiest to implement? If you’re having trouble choosing one, you must work on focusing your attention to that.

    “If you haven’t found what you want yet, it’s simply because you haven’t applied focus consistently.”

    I know this is hard to hear, but as a person who has (and still can) struggle with this, I know it will change your life and help you tackle each new challenge that comes your way.

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

    • That challenges never go away, they just change
    • Why finding a variety of people is so crucial in building your tribe
    • How you can set and practice fierce boundaries with your tribe

    166: Give Life to More POSSIBILITIES by Making Less Excuses Sep 14, 2017
    Show notes

    Today’s quickie is all about the word (and thing) justification. I once was a pro at justifying why I was the way I was (fearful, anxious etc.). I spent SO much time, energy and efforts on the excuses as to why I couldn’t do x-y-z when I could have been investing my time into my dreams!

    So let’s try a little exercise… Let’s replace the word justification with excuses. Let’s call out those excuses and see them for what they truly are – false glass ceilings – because that’s all they really are no matter what you might think.

    “Human beings can do whatever we believe we can do.”

    So look for the justifications/excuses in your life right now and write them down.

    “If your thoughts are going toward your justifications and excuses, you’re actually living for them.”

    So which is it for you? Are you living to keep your dreams alive or are you choosing to fan the flames that keep the fires of justification and excuses burning? Take a deep look and discover what you’re really living for. Hint: If your time is spent making excuses and justifying, you’re never going to give the power to your presence to be able to move forward into your dreams.

    “Give the power to your presence.”

    Your family, friends and the world need your gift right NOW. Of course there will always be a dose of fear that comes along with it, but embrace it knowing that it feels a whole lot better than never stepping into your full potential.

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

    • Why justifying and making excuses are holding you back from your dreams
    • How to call out your excuses
    • About the importance of breathing life into your dreams instead of your excuses

    EYH – Ep. 165 – Danika Brysha – Surrender your way to success and become a magnet for your dreams

    Today’s guest, Model Meals Founder and CEO, Danika Brysha, may look a little familiar to some of you as she’s been a part of several campaigns as a plus-size/curve model for big names such as Target and Old Navy. While she has a successful modeling career now, it was winding road to get there.

    From a young age, Danika continually struggled to feel that she was enough when it came to her body. Growing up in the era of the size double-zero, she focused on her weight for more than a decade of her life. This fixation eventually reached its breaking point when it led to bulimia and dental issues.

    Wanting to take care of her body better, Danika stopped throwing up but turned to drugs to keep the weight at bay. This went on for quite some time until she graduated college in the television industry and had had it with her body image struggle. She let go and let herself settle into where her body naturally fell (about a size 12/14). She was soon approached by an agent who suggested that she get into plus-size modeling. After signing with an agency and moving out to New York, her modeling career took off, but she soon hit another snag.

    Wanting to start off the New Year (a new career and move, too) renewed, she tried the Whole30 meal plan. She was blown away by her results and not only did she lose 15 pounds, but she was amazed at how much clarity she had and how amazing she felt. Her plus-size modelings clients didn’t agree and she started to lose modeling gigs. As a way to earn money, Danika offered to help people in New York City eat cleaner by making meals for them. This side-business went well, but she still wasn’t able to make ends meet.

    It wasn’t long before Danika moved back to California where she grew up and moved into her parents’ garage. This was a serendipitous moment, however as it led to the eventual launch pf Model Meals with a friend and Danika has since signed with a new modeling agency.

    Danika’s journey of self-love is one of several ups and downs, but instead of fighting against them she’s learned to surrender and use her own feelings as a guide through them. Her story is so relatable and there’s something that everyone can take away from it. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much I did.
