215: Release Inherited Emotional Blocks, Heal Your Money Mindset and Manifest Your Desires With Transformational Energy Healer Lisa Thomas Aug 14, 2018

Show notes

Do you ever feel like none of your inner work is getting you anywhere? What if your fears, limiting beliefs and negative patterns were not your own, but actually inherited from your ancestors? Are you holding something in your body that isn't even yours?

If your ancestors had any kind of emotional trauma, such as fear, phobias, depression, anxiety, abuse, the subconscious traps that energy in DNA. This gets passed down, generation to generation. So your phobia of spiders may be due to a great great aunt experiencing the trauma of getting bitten. For example, Whitney's limiting beliefs around money come from her grandfather going through the Great Depression.

It can feel overwhelming to think that you're also carrying other people's trauma, but don't worry! You can free yourself from these patterns and release the emotions that are not your own.

Lisa Thomas is a Transformational Energy Healer and uses a combination of kinesiology (a form of muscle testing) and clairvoyancy to connect with her clients' subconscious and assess what is blocking them, what needs to be released, and where these limiting beliefs have come from.

Lisa was born with these gifts and initially felt this as a huge burden. Seeing dead people isn't exactly fun when you don't know what it all means and you can't talk to anyone about it. She didn't know what to do, and felt afraid and isolated. It wasn't until years later that she realized that if she wasn't using her gifts to empower people, she wasn't fulfilling her purpose on earth.

Thanks to her help, her clients can align with their soul purpose, get their unique gifts into the world, and reach their fullest potential. By drawing on her access to Source Energy and knowledge of holistic healing methods, Lisa can break patterns of struggle and negative energy that hold you back, so you can achieve a life filled with love and prosperity. She offers consultations in person, by Skype or by phone, and she works with people from all over the world and of all ages, from newborns to 80-year-olds.

How can you manifest what you desire?

It's not as hard as you might thing. It comes down to gratitude. Gratitude for what you have in your life but also what's coming - your perfect clients, your soulmate, the growth of your business, vibrant health. It has to go further than simply thinking about it or writing it. You've got to speak your gratitude out loud. Because when you speak it, you send it out into the Universe, and that energy will come back to you.

Free healing meditation! Head to Lisa's website for her Release Inherited Money Blocks meditation, a great tool to unblock your limiting belief about money, clear your energy and prepare your body for healing.

214: How Not To Die with Dr. Michael Greger Aug 07, 2018

Show notes

We used to consider smoking healthy - everyone smoked, even doctors. It took over 20 years and 7000 studies before the first official report against smoking was published. How long will it take before the truth comes out about our diets?

Well, if Dr. Michael Greger has anything to do with it, not long at all!

Dr. Greger was inspired into the medical profession by his grandma's healing story. She'd had so many bypass operations that doctors said there was nothing more to be done, and sent her home to die. She was only 65. But after working with of one of the original lifestyle medicine pioneers, Nathan Pritikin, she healed herself and went on to live another 31 healthy happy years.

Having witnessed firsthand the healing power of a plant-based diet, Dr. Greger is on a mission to bring the truth about nutrition to as many people as possible. He founded the free, non-profit, science-based website NutritionFacts.org, which provides the latest in evidence-based nutrition research.

We love his book How Not to Die, where he examines the top 15 causes of death in the US, and explains how nutrition works BETTER than prescription meds to prevent and reverse disease, heal your body and help you live longer. It's a practical guide that will help you design a lifestyle that supports your complete wellbeing. You can download the free Daily Dozen app, which gives you simple daily strategies to fight disease and feel great, even on a budget. And the best thing? 100% of the proceeds of his books are donated to charity.

The message is loud and clear: we have the power to prevent and reverse chronic disease with a plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Greger is also working on a new book, How Not To Diet, which will be out in December 2019. He's discovered some unique metabolic quirks to accelerate weight loss. We can't wait to read it!!

Dr. Greger's recommendations to prevent and reverse chronic disease:

It's the day-to-day stuff that matters.
Avoid the worst foods (soda, processed meats, trans-fats, dairy)
Add in the best foods (beans, berries, leafy greens, chia seeds)
Pack in as many whole healthy plant foods as possible - real food that grows out of the ground

213: How to Feng Shui Your Home, Declutter Your Life, Attract Prosperity and Transform Your Life Jul 31, 2018

Show notes

Is clutter holding you back? You may think mess is just a nuisance, but the state of your home is a reflection of what is going on inside.

Our environment sends us sensory messages about the world we live in. A broken path to your home sends the message that life is hard, that things can trip you up. A cluttered purse sends the message of difficulty letting go. A chaotic desk speaks of disorganization. When we begin to clear and declutter our environment, we actually begin to clear our inner world as well. And that is the real magic of Feng Shui.

Dana Claudat is a modern Feng Shui master, but her life wasn't always zen. There was a time when a perfect life to Dana meant hustling x1000, always chasing the next thing. On the outside her life looked awesome, on the inside she was totally burnt out. After years of this kind of fast-paced lifestyle, she ended up in hospital with auto immune disorders. For the first time in her adult life, she was house-bound. Forced to slow down, Dana realized she'd never made her house a home, never created a space where she could truly thrive. There wasn't a single picture on the walls, the place looked like an impersonal Airbnb. That's when she found Feng Shui, and it transformed her life.

Through the art of Feng Shui, Dana found her voice, got grounded, became confident, and created her business. For over a decade, she's helped clients change their homes and reconnect with the flow of their life's true purpose. New jobs, fame, soulmate relationships, business deals, and renewed self-love are just some of the results Dana's clients have experienced.

Feng Shui Explained

Feng Shui is basically the art and science of creating an optimum space for you to thrive. There's no one-size-fits-all model. And it's not about following arbitrary rules, like purple for wealth or red for success (I mean, not everyone wants red and purple in their living room, right?). Instead, it's about how the space makes you feel.

Prosperity comes from creativity. And for creativity to blossom you need to feel present and grounded in your space. That comes from creating a home that is decluttered and clear of stagnant energies.

Dana's Tips to Declutter Your Home and Create Prosperity

Start small: There's no point having a super tidy garage if your purse is total chaos. Start with the spaces that make up your daily routine: your purse, your bathroom shelf, your kitchen cupboards.
Everything in your life should have a purpose: Do you use that dinner service? Are you making the most of your dining room?
Create conversations in your home: is your furniture separate and disjointed? Move things around, group things together, and see how this shifts the room's energy.
Be intuitive: if you feel something needs to go, get rid of it. Don't keep that cushion just because your auntie gave it to you.
Clean up your digital space: organize those files, don't be afraid to unfollow feeds you no longer wish to see.
Clear stagnant energies from your home. Burning sage is great for this. Open all the windows and set your intention to clear the space. Mindfully walk around your home and visualize old energy flowing out and new energy flowing in.
A great place to start is Dana's free Life Detox Jump Start Course, where you'll learn how to detox the clutter and attract more love, health, prosperity and happiness.

Ultimately, when you change your home, you change your life. You can shape the universe around you in your favor. Where will you begin?

212: Food Heals Q&A With Gorgeously Green's Sophie Uliano and Sexy Fit Vegan Ella Magers Jul 17, 2018

Show notes

Today there's a lot of blonde power in the recording studio! We're asking two top health & wellness experts your burning health questions.

Sophie Uliano is a nutritionist, green beauty expert, and best-selling author of the Gorgeously Green series of books. She runs retreats and events that empower women to transform from the inside out and be the healthiest they can be. This blonde bombshell taught Julia Roberts and Oprah how to go green BEFORE green was cool. Check out previous episodes 178, 185 and 200 for Sophie's story and more gorgeously green lifestyle tips.

Ella Magers was named one of Shape Magazine's Top 50 Hottest Trainers in America, and we testify that she's really hot - and vegan. She's the author of Six Weeks to Sexy Abs, a book that will transform how you exercise for good. Vegan for 23 years, Ella runs online coaching programs helping people make the transition to a plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle. Check out episodes 97, 169 and 170 for Ella's story.

1: How much exercise do we really need?

The latest scientific research says the optimum amount of exercise is 60 minutes a day. Sounds like a lot, but you don't have to do it all in one go: you can break it up. If you're busy, do 10 minutes kettlebell in the morning, throw in a bit of high speed walking at lunchtime, and a spot of yoga in the afternoon. Simply being active in your day to day soon adds up when it comes to fitness. Even tidying up can help you work up a sweat.

Consider your goals. If you're focusing on long term health, lower impact exercise is a good choice. If you're looking for fast results, go for high-intensity workouts. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance between the two that works for you.

2: I like to drink a glass of wine every day. I've got a pretty healthy routine otherwise, but I just need that glass. Is it ok to have wine?

Be plant-powered, eat your greens, and enjoy that glass of wine guilt-free. Firstly, wine is packed with antioxidants, in moderation it's practically a health food (check out Dr. Cabral's episode where he shares the secrets to drinking healthily). When you deny yourself something you love, you end up compensating by binging on something else. It's more important to listen to your body. Definitely don't feel guilty, because guilt changes the molecular structure of our bodies. So pour yourself that glass of wine, and enjoy every sip.

3: What's the deal with SPF? Is the sun giving us skin cancer or is it good for us? What are you best recommendations for healthy sunscreen?

The sun is not the devil. In fact, vitamin D is vital and you should get between 2000-5000 IU every day. A little bit of sunshine is ok (although definitely avoid the baby oil and the aluminum foil), but you need to be cautious and protect yourself from harmful rays. Our top tips:

Wear a hat and non-toxic sunblock. You can make your own by mixing coconut oil and zinc oxide.
Avoid conventional sunscreens, they're packed with hormone-disrupting chemicals and don't even work.
Think about your diet. The more toxic you are, the more you'll burn.

4: Colonics and enemas. Hype or healing tools?

There's a ton of conflicting information out there. Some say it's lifesaving, others say it might kill you. The truth is somewhere in between. As a short-term fix or to kickstart your healing journey, they can work miracles. In fact, many Food Heals guests have had positive experiences with them. But some say washing away your microbiome is a bad idea, and colonics shouldn't be relied upon long-term.

If you eat clean and if you're healthy, you don't necessarily need colonics because you're giving your digestive system everything it needs to function and support a healthy gut. The body is clever, it naturally detoxifies, and we can assist it in a gentle way by eating certain herbs and vegetables like cilantro, milk thistle and leafy greens.

5: What are the best green products for hair?

Evolve H do a great starter kit for hair. Totally green non-toxic hair care.
Bogavia do a delicious shampoo, conditioner and serum that really deliver.
EO Products shampoos and conditioners are gluten-free, organic, and infused with essential oils that helps your hair grow.

6: How do you kick a Starbucks addiction?

If you're trying to kick the coffee habit, you can try a matcha tea shot instead. It will really energize you without giving you the jitters. Or give Hiball a try, they give you a natural lift.

If it's the take-out coffee habit you're trying to shift, then look at it from an economic, health, and environment perspective. You can buy really good organic ethical tea or coffee, organic plant milk with no nasties added, make it at home and take it with you in a reusable cup… not only do you save money, but you avoid chemical-packed non-organic coffee and sugary milks (saving your health), and don't contribute to the mountain of plasticized coffee cups polluting the oceans (saving the planet). When it comes to coffee with benefits, you can't go wrong with Foursigmatic, instant coffee infused with medicinal mushrooms.

7: What are your thoughts on drinking aloe vera gel?

Aloe vera can be good for food poisoning because it flushes you out and helps the intestinal tract to heal. However, you need to use it with caution, because it can be powerful and some people are super sensitive to it. In small amounts it can be delicious, you can mix it with lemon and mint for a healthy healing lemonade.

8: What are some tips to move out of food addiction and into a healthy relationship with our food?

The first thing to acknowledge is that food is just a symptom of disordered eating. The cause is deeper. So switching to veganism or vegetarianism doesn't automatically cure food addiction. You need to begin by exploring what sits behind those behaviors. What are the thoughts and beliefs fueling your eating patterns? Ultimately, when we reconnect to self-love, and are mindful of what is driving us to crave another serving of ice-cream (vegan or not), we can step out of disordered eating and into a healthy relationship with food.

210: Kerri Kasem Shares Her Secrets for Ageless & Healthy Beauty PLUS How to Stop Sugar Cravings For Good Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

Kerri went vegan at the age of 12. But she wasn't a healthy vegan. Pasta, sugar, gluten, soy, and junk food all featured in her diet, causing drastic mood swings, low energy and skin issues. After 24 years of that kind of strict veganism, she felt like crap. She had constant sugar cravings, was tired all the time, was anemic, started losing her hair, and her brain didn't work. And all the doctor did was… prescribe medicine. He didn't even ask Kerri about her diet. He just diagnosed her with ADD and handed her some pills.

At that moment, Kerri had a breakthrough. It wasn't about veganism. It was about health and eating right. The food choices you make dramatically affect your mood and your physical health. Your gut isn't called your second brain for nothing – that's where your immune system is, and where most of your serotonin is produced. So if you're eating foods that cause poor digestion and inflammation in your gut, then of course that this is going to affect your mental health, and increase your risk of auto-immune issues and disease.

The biggest culprit in all of this is the one food we all find so hard to give up: sugar. Kerri only needed to walk past a strawberry shortbread to get a craving. We often associate sweet tastes with happy times in our childhoods, so we naturally seek it out, especially when we're stressed or sad. And we're hard-wired to desire sweet foods. Basically, we're addicted to it. To really step into health, we have to free ourselves from our sugar cravings. That's exactly what Kerri did, and why she's launched her new brand Ageless and Healthy, dedicated to helping people be the healthiest, most beautiful version of themselves.

And if you like Food Heals, then you are going to die for Kerri's podcast, The KPod – it's what originally inspired us to start this show, so check it out!

Kerri's Tips for Ageless Health and Beauty:

Hydration, hydration, hydration: have 2-3 liters of water a day and in 3 months you will look like you've had fillers in your face. But you also need electrolytes to help your cells to absorb that water.
Vitamin C: apply vitamin C serum and take vitamin C supplements.
Make sure your anti-aging cream contains vitamin C and retinol. These nutrients WILL tighten your skin.
Use sunscreen.
HALO laser therapy.
Beauty begins from within: eat your greens! They instantly alkalize you and give you boundless energy (way better than coffee!).
To address rosacea, go on an elimination diet; focus on the foods you eat or drink every day.
IPL: intense pulse light laser therapy.
Take care of your insides: focus on anti-inflammatory healing foods (turmeric, greens, antioxidants) and leave the junk foods on the shelf.

209: Money Mindset: How to Step Out of the Hustle, Get Into Flow & Create A Successful Career Jun 21, 2018

Show notes

Lynne Taggart works with spiritual entrepreneurs, deep diving into the inner work most of us avoid doing, to make their business super successful. Alli met Lynne at Level 3 of Spirit Junkie Masterclass.

Until then, Lynne had held back. She did most of her work online because she didn't feel ready to be that visible. But during a mastermind with Gabby Bernstein, Lynne realized she was being called to do more in-person work.

Lynne had to go through her own shifts before becoming a coach. She'd always been an entrepreneur, running her own fashion shop since she was 23. But despite her success, she was unhappy, insecure, anxious and burned out.

She closed the shop to become a stay at home mom, and fell into coaching because it was something she could easily do remotely. At first, she didn't think about it as a business, but when she saw the potential for emotional growth and transformation, she knew she had found her calling.

Now Lynne runs events to help other women shift into who they are truly meant to be and reach their full potential. She helps her clients create a soulful online business and become unapologetically abundant.

How can you attract this abundance into your life? Well, first you need to tap into your purpose. What is it that you're here to do? Don't compare yourself to what other people are doing, figure out what YOU love to do.

When you tap into the fact that we live in an abundant Universe, you realize it's ok to charge for your gifts, to put your prices up, to earn a paycheck from your passion. When you tap into the flow, it's easier to realize what you want.

You need to change your energy to match what it is you want to attract into your life. You might want success, but are you ready for it?

There's a huge difference between hustle and flow. It's so easy for us to get stuck in the hustle - we're busy, we're rushing one place to the next, we're getting through our 2-mile-long-to-do-list.

But it's hard to get inspired in that space. Flow is where ideas come to you: when you're meditating, when you're in the present and connected to the now.

Lynne's secrets to manifest more abundance:

When you get an idea or a desire, don't ignore it! You deserve it and you CAN do it. Recognize that desire and tune into it.
Explore the desire, what does it look like, what does it feel like? You're declaring to the Universe that you want it to happen.
Begin to look for signs and take heed. The Universe will deliver what you need to make your dreams happen.
Align: become a vibrational match for the desire.
Work with Lynne:
- Soul-based Mastery is a 12-module program for the new entrepreneur, that combines deep inner work and will teach you how to build your online business. The program includes a live coaching calls with other program members.
- Six-Month Private Coaching: for the powerhouse woman looking for results. Come out of the hustle, have some fun, experience joy, and become even more empowered.

Gabby Bernstein's Principles for Running a Spiritual Business

You've seen what's happening in the world, felt it deep, empathized with it, and held it within you. And that sent you a message - let's go. Shine bright. Go big.

But to go big, you need money. Not just to pay your bills, but to nurture yourself, to give back, to really be abundant.

But if you stay within the energy of "I need to pay my bills" you're still in fear. Because there are infinite possibilities for abundance. Even getting fired is simply the Universe setting you free to start your heart-centered business. The same goes for debt. Debt is just a lesson you need to learn, something that needs to be healed. So be grateful for it. Thank it for teaching you, thank it for decreasing. Once you learn the lesson, the debt will disappear.

We can all have a quantum shift around money. You can heal your money mindset. So tell yourself "I can earn," "I can do this." That will create a new story, and that sends out a vibration to the world: you're ready for abundance.

Money is not complicated. You're either coming at it from fear or love. If you're fearful around money, you block it. If you're in fear of money, it is because you have disconnected from spirit. You're relying on your own strength. You need to reconnect with the Universe. So ask it: Show me how I can show up. Show me creative possibilities for abundance. Show me how I can serve.

Because when your work revolves around love, money flows. Your business needs to be about love, because love is a magnet, and it multiplies… and it is the only currency.

Your money situation, your business, your relationships, your body… everything is a reflection of your spiritual condition and your spiritual relationship.

In order to create abundance, we must believe in creative possibilities.

And if you want to follow your dream of starting up your own business, you really must check out Gabby Bernstein's latest video, where she shares a special invitation, a shout-out to all those who want to inspire others by doing what inspires them.

208: How to Step Into Your Truth, Manifest Your Dream Life and Be a Badass Spiritual Boss Babe Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

If you have a burning desire to do something different, to leave the grind and wake up feeling passionate about your work, we've got just the thing. This episode brings together five powerful lady entrepreneurs who will rock your world.

What do these five gorgeous women have in common? They shunned the traditional 9 to 5 in favor of following their own path and creating a business around serving others.

Because let's face it. You can eat all the kale you want, but if you're waking up every morning dreading the commute into a depressing office and a job that doesn't fulfil you, then you can't be truly healthy. Because total wellness is about eating well AND living your truth. It's all connected.

Spiritual Boss Babe Leslie Durso

From a very young age, Leslie knew her purpose: to guide and inspire people to live healthier, happier lives, and help them find their smile. She's a vegan chef, influencer, author, and runs beautiful retreats all over the world.

She truly is following her dreams.

Her number one tip: you have to just keep walking through the fire. One step after the other, just keep going and keep taking steps, however small, towards your goals. That journey begins with the inner work.

After all, your business is who you are in the world. What you put out in your day-to-day will eventually show up in your business. So, who do you want to be? What do you want to create for yourself, and for the world?

Of course, money is part of this journey, but it can't be the ultimate goal. It's more like the result of the goal (the goal being to do something you are passionate about). If you make money the goal, you'll just keep chasing it. You need to chase the goal.

What fills your thoughts, fills your life. The things that you think about the most are the things that happen. Worry is a prayer to chaos. If you keep thinking how crap it is to be single, you're going to be single. If you keep thinking how much you hate your job, you're just attracting more of the same. So banish those unhelpful thoughts of self-doubt and fear.

Make a moral handbook for yourself: what do you want for your life? Do you want to help people? Do you want a simple life? Do you want to be by the sea? Do you want to open a retreat? Whatever your dream, visualize it and make it happen!

Leslie's key takeaway: just be passionate about what you're doing every single day. Make decisions that bring joy into your life and live with a smile.

Spiritual Boss Babe Danielle Mercurio

Danielle Mercurio is a high vibe speaker, comedian and life coach. What does it mean to be a spiritual boss babe? Power… but not in a bad way like corporate power or greed. No, we're talking universal power here. The personal power of knowing that there is a force within you that makes you unstoppable. That power happens when you blend your spirituality with your work. When you trust the Universe, the Universe conspires to make it happen.

Danielle's tips to become an unstoppable boss babe:

Be really clear about what you want to be in business (it will evolve, but you need to get into that space where you know what you want).
Get your spiritual tools in place. Kundalini is Danielle's personal favorite, but you can find one that works for you.
Merge your business plan and your spiritual practice.
Be open to how the Universe responds - it might have bigger plans for you.

Spiritual Boss Babe Whitney Lauritsen

Whitney Lauritsen is one of our favorite spiritual boss babes. She left her 9 to 5 in 2008 to create Eco Vegan Gal and now, Creative Wellth. She's been coaching other people to be amazing at social media. Her big mission is to help people eliminate suffering - whether the suffering comes from health or money or emotions.

Whitney's tips to get centered in a positive space:

Notice and acknowledge your progress, however small - be grateful for your achievements.
Don't just write your gratitude list, speak it!
Surround yourself with beautiful things - crystals, essential oils, plants.
Listen to your body and show it some love - supplements, probiotics, organic food…

Here are some of the takeaways from Whitney's new talk, Radical Social Media Strategies to Increase the Power and Profit of Your Brand:

Meditate and tune into yourself (you don't have to sit cross-legged - you can meditate in the shower or anywhere. Just move the focus of your energy from your head to your heart).
The bottom line is mindset: shake off the negative thoughts that hold you back and trust in your worth.
Believe in manifestation. It works!
Shed those layers - give yourself permission to let go of all those limiting beliefs, ego, fear, self-doubt, so you can step into your power and your purpose.

Spiritual Boss Babe Lynne Taggart

Spiritual success and mindset coach Lynne Taggart helps powerhouse women step out of the hustle and into the flow.

These are some of her best practices to tune into your greatness:

Create space for spiritual practice (early morning is best).
Change your mindset around your spiritual work. Do it because it honors your soul, brings you joy and empowers you - don't see it as a chore.
Intuitive writing - take time to breathe and connect with your inner being. Ask the Universe a question and allow your pen to move across the page. It's mind-blowing what comes up.
Be appreciative for things that you've not yet created - this begins the co-creation process with the Universe. When you write in the present, you will make it happen (very quickly!).
Tap into the transformational power of the Universe.

Spiritual Boss Babe Amanda Frances

Amanda Frances is a spiritual bad-ass boss babe, and fellow spirit junkie. She's also a self-made multi-millionaire and soulful business guru to spiritual entrepreneurs all over the world. She takes a no-nonsense approach to living a life of purpose.

She was just the girl who wanted to do something cool with her life. She wanted to help people and make money. But the regular ways just didn't do it for her.

Having tried all other avenues, Amanda decided to do an experiment. She was only going to do what felt good. She believes that if you desire it, that's the Universe sending you a message. And it's your responsibility to just do it. By playing small, you're not helping those who need you the most. So, take a look at your life, see what you've learned and how your experiences can help others.

Amanda's mission is to empower people to design lives that they are wildly obsessed with. She creates online courses that propel women into entrepreneurship - everything from branding to money mindset to course creation and more. We LOVE her branding - seriously, check out her website.

When Amanda found Gabby Bernstein's Spirit Junkie Masterclass, she felt like here was this woman living her truth and giving Amanda permission to live her own truth. Powerful stuff. And she's never looked back. If you're thinking about taking the masterclass, just follow your heart.

Amanda's tips for stepping into your entrepreneurial, successful self:

Become unavailable for "hard" - stop thinking you need to work hard to make it.
Change your thinking around money. Go through every single thought you've had about money - when your mum didn't buy you those shoes, what your dad said about making an income, that time the guy didn't pay for dinner, whatever comes up - and how those thoughts make you feel. And then read through them and think "What if these aren't true?" Realize that there is another way to see this.
Be aware that your internal world will spill out into your external world - that's why you've got to do the inner work.
Realize how powerful you are. You have the power to get anything you want. You just have to believe it.

207: The Transformational Power of Kundalini Yoga, Stand-Up Comedy & Giving Yourself Permission with Danielle Mercurio Jun 15, 2018

Show notes

Kundalini teacher, spiritual coach, comedian, speaker, all-round entrepreneurial superstar… Danielle Mercurio is a gypsy of all trades, she is living her truth.

It wasn't always that way. As a child she dreamed of being a performer, but it felt out of reach. Ok for others, but not for her. Instead, she tried to do what she was supposed to do. How many of us do exactly that - work a job because we think it's what we're meant to? That kind of living catches up with you. After years of partying to escape the fact she wasn't being true to herself, and too many mornings waking up not knowing what happened the night before, Danielle had a spiritual awakening. She saw that the mess of her life was an opportunity to explore what was on the other side.

It wasn't a smooth ride. Self-love was way off, too difficult to reach. So Danielle designed strategies to get to self-ok, where she could simply show up for her life. That ok-ness soon became liking herself, and with the help of Kundalini yoga, and Gabby Bernstein's Spirit Junkie Masterclass (she was one of the first people to sign up, ever), she was able to completely surrender to the flow and abundance of the universe, and find her path. She gave herself permission to get out of her corporate job and into the life she really wanted: spiritual entrepreneur, life coach, self-help comedian, speaker and podcaster.

Does this resonate with you? So many of us have that feeling inside that we're not doing what we are truly supposed to. We have all these great ideas, but because we seek validation from external sources, we never give ourselves that go-ahead to take action. But the fact you're here today, and feeling that desire to set up a food business or do life coaching or become a spiritual entrepreneur, that is the universe giving you permission.

And right now, there is no better time to go for it. You do not need external permission to start a YouTube channel, or a podcast, or a blog, or to start that spiritual business. If you have a passion, if it feels like your current job is standing in the way of your ideal life, and it is becoming irresponsible not to follow your dreams, then you owe it to yourself (and the world) to take steps towards your living your highest purpose.

The most important step you can take is checking out Gabby Bernstein's latest video, where she shares a special invitation, a shout-out to all those who want to inspire others by doing what inspires them.

206: Start your Love-Based Business and Make Money From Your Passion with Gabby Bernstein Jun 12, 2018

Show notes

Gabby Bernstein: Share your gifts with the world

It's not ok to accept money for your skills.

It's imperative.

It is our responsibility to give our gifts to the world. Your story can change someone's life - it can even save someone's life.

This world needs more transformational teachers. It's less about having a really fun career (even though that is an awesome part of it) and more about how you can be of service to the world - and how you do that is by sharing your authentic self, your wisdom, and your unique talents. If we don't accept abundance for doing that work, then we're not able to do that work. The consequence is that you don't just deny yourself the life you dream of, but you also deny the world a service it desperately needs right now. You need to be unapologetic about your abundance.

But this is hard, right? So many of us hold on to stories that keep us stuck in financial fear. We feel it's wrong to accept money for spiritual work, or don't really believe we can make a living doing what we love, or we align with our parents' story that working a job you don't like is essential to earning money. These are all lies that stop you from sharing your gifts and showing up in a bigger way.

But there's a lot you can do to free yourself from those old beliefs, change your financial story and open yourself up to abundance. In Gabby Bernstein's third video training, she will teach you how to make publicity and marketing fun (instead of scary), how you can make an impact doing what you love, plus her secret method for really standing out and being heard. Go to www.foodhealsnation.com/gabby to check it out!

Kesley Dalziel: Your Intuition will guide you

Founder of the Sisterhood of TiredAss Moms, medium, meditation teacher and coach Kelsey Dalziel is a true inspiration (check out Episode 160 for her story). She went from doing nails and being a depressed exhausted mom to achieving her dream: helping other tired-ass moms go from survival mode to thrival mode, and set up their own businesses. Taking Gabby Bernstein's Spirit Junkie Masterclass gave Kelsey the confidence she needed to follow her heart and take that leap; it put her in touch with the best business partner ever: the Universe.

Kelsey believes you already know where you need to be. But fear and self-doubt stop you from being clear and going for your goals. If you feel unsure what to do next, just ask. Your intuition, the universe, your spirit guides are all offering guidance, all you need to do is pay attention.

Laura Petersen: You ARE an expert

Laura owns Copy that Pops, a brand that helps entrepreneurs who are passionate about making a difference to become best-selling authors and share their story in a compelling, engaging, authentic way. Laura has written two books: Copywriting for Podcasters and Permission to Write a Brand Building Book.

Laura's favorite thing to do is making people Amazon best-sellers! Her masterclasses help people go from the idea stage to the writing, publishing (or self-publishing) and marketing stage. Her group and inner circle provide the support you need to make your brand grow and really pop. So you can take it to the next level.

And if you're thinking "who am I to write a book?" stop. Your goal is not to impress other gurus, your goal is to help someone. You can do that even if you're just a couple of steps ahead of the person you're writing for. In fact, you're in a better position to help because you know what it feels like to be in that place. You ARE expert enough, and it's your duty to share your knowledge.

Michele PW: Selling with love instead of fear

Michele is a fellow podcaster and best-selling author of the Love-Based Business series of books. Her mission is to help people feel all their feelings so they don't let their feelings control their actions. She discovered her love-based philosophy through love-based copy writing. Instead of getting sales through fear, she realized that she could build a business through love. Head over to her Love Based Biz Blog to get tips on how to sell from a place of love.

Most of us don't put money and love in the same box. But the truth is that unless we shift our mindset, we block abundance. What are your financial beliefs? So many of us think rich people are evil, that money doesn't grow on trees, that it's never there, that it goes out quicker than it comes in, that you have to work hard for it. What kind of energy is that putting out? A great way to start transforming your relationship with money is to examine your beliefs and underlying feelings around it. What comes up for you when you think about money? Decide how you want to feel about it, and start putting that out there. When you approach your finances from a place of love and abundance, you open the door for that abundance to flow towards you. We love Michele's podcast Love-Based Money.

If you've been dreaming of setting up your own business but are holding yourself back through fear, doubt, or feeling that you are not good enough, then you need to check out Gabby Bernstein's free training. In this video, she shares her secret methods to being seen and heard - and if you're worried about marketing, she'll show you how to make it FUN. Click here.
