Focus Friday: Quitting the Comparison Game Jan 04, 2019

Show notes

Do you ever compare yourself to others on Instagram and find yourself stuck in feelings of inferiority?

In today's Focus Friday, I dive in to the lie we tell ourselves when we think we aren't good enough because of the acidic + influential environment on social media these days… and how to stay firmly planted in who we are and what we feel called to do.

In This Episode:

Instagram comparisonitis [ 1:55 ]
Why I felt inferior [ 3:10 ]
Standing firmly planted in ourselves [ 6:35 ]
Dig in a little deeper [ 09:30 ]
Taking radical personal responsibility [ 12:05 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"The landscape of our life is the canvas for us to make our mark."
"What would it feel like to set goals in your business that belonged to you?"
"Your frustration with them is all about you."
"It is not about comparison and competition, it's about co-creation."
"With each of those unfollows you are thanking those people for being part of your journey."

Our 2018 Year in Review with Ben Lilyestrom Jan 01, 2019

Show notes

Ben and I sat down to dial in to our 2018 Year in Review. I shared these exercises with my community earlier this week (you can download that guide here).

This has fast become one of our favorite rituals to round out the year and orient ourselves as we walk in to the next one…and this New Year's Eve celebration did not disappoint.

For the first time, we took the day and went to a coffee shop to go through the process of reviewing each month, looking at what was accomplished, how we felt during those seasons and how it all rolled up at the end of the year.

We spent time looking ahead and grounding ourselves in to the ways we want to feel and our increased focus on how we want to BE (which is a worthy challenge for these Virgo DOERS).

In this episode we shared:

A 2018 recap on how much has changed.
Our internal work and what has resulted from committing so deeply to it.
What a full year of homeschooling has taught us.
The commitment we're making in our marriage.
What shifted for us in our money mindset.
The mega-project that changed our lives from the inside out.
What we're most excited about walking in to 2019 together.
Our areas of focus for the New Year in our family and careers.

Thank you for your continued support and being a part of our sacred community. We appreciate each and every one of you and look forward to continuing our growth and collective expansion together in 2019!

Happy New Year!

When life gets us down, we want to give up because it is the more comfortable thing to do. But what we're really afraid in this moments… is reaching our full potential.

In today's Focus Friday, I ask the straightforward question: Why not try the hard thing? In hopes that it will inspire us all to get out there and get things done... even when they seem unattainable.

What's the worst thing that could happen? Falling does not break us; it makes us stronger. Rise to the challenge, be vulnerable, and say yes!

"I'm always thinking of things, lessons, moments that I can gift to you to share with you on your journey."
"Why not hit go live and be awkward and bumble a little bit?"
"Why not go for it- and give your soul the opportunity to rise up."
"If the dream is in us, it's for us."

Today's guest, Kris Britton, is a Life and Success Coach to women who want to love themselves and live free.

Kris empowers women to clear all the blocks that hold them back from confidently living their dreams. Our blocks are the stories we've piled up high within us that block our voice, light, and abundance. When these blocks are dissolved, we reveal our true selves, and start to lead our lives with love and our own personal power.

In this episode, Kris and I dig deep into soul-searching, spiritual sales, and how to awaken our own inner goddess. Plus, we discuss why you need to hang up your lady balls (say what?!), and Kris gives some game-changing tips on how to set + accomplish every goal that's on your heart.

Focus Friday: What Are You Fighting For? Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever heard the saying, "If you argue for your limitations, they're yours to keep"?

This holds true in all things- for scarcity, for our unhappiness in our lives, for our lack of self-love.

In today's Focus Friday, I ask the very simple question: What are you fighting for? In hopes that it will ignite a spark in you that helps shine the light on the fact that you are worthy of so much more than you have fought for…

That at any moment, should you choose to do so, you can stop the fight and simply step in to the fullness + magnitude of who you truly are.

In This Episode:

The incredible In(Her) Circle retreat speakers: Melyssa Griffin, Julie Solomon, Chris Harder + Lewis Howes [ :45 ]
Why I'm on a plane headed back to LA [ 4:20 ]
What are you fighting for? [ 5:58 ]
How to shift our belief in ourselves [ 9:25 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"If I believe that we live in an abundant Universe, living in a place of scarcity is contradictory."
"I'm not going to fight with you about whether you're worthy or you're not- I just hold that belief consistently."
"We are all born worthy. We all come in to this life with the invitation to be loved by others simply because of our being."
"Your worth is presupposed; it has never been a question."

Grace Smith on The Healing Power of Hypnosis Dec 04, 2018

Show notes

If you're listening to this podcast, the one thing I know is that you're a highly conscious being who is working towards embodying the highest version of yourself.

But what if I told you that you can only access 10% of your consciousness- and the other 90% lives beneath the surface?

Grace is a regular guest on CBS's hit show, The Doctors, and her work has been featured in The Atlantic, Marie Claire, Forbes, US News & World Report, MindBodyGreen, Buzzfeed, Bustle, InStyle and more.

Grace Smith is on a mission to make hypnosis mainstream and help us all gain insights and power in to releasing what no longer serves us, and stepping fully in to any and every possible thing that does.

"There's magic and power in surrendering, and there's magic and power in asking others for help."
"The subconscious just wants to keep you alive, it just wants to keep you safe."
"If there's something you desire, it's because it means for you- so what's blocking you from having it in your current space?"

Focus Friday: 3 Keys to Creating Sustainable Wealth Nov 30, 2018

Show notes

Sustainable wealth isn't about what everyone thinks it's about. It's not about buying all the designer clothes you want, or the size of your home or the make on your car (though those things are all bonuses too!)… it's about so much more.

Sustainable wealth is about creating freedom in your life + your business, so that you can get along with the business of LIVING. It's about building a bigger container for that great big work you're meant to be doing, and magnifying the impact you are able to make.

In this week's Focus Friday, I share with you 3 of the keys to building sustainable wealth that I've used to allow myself the freedom to live life with the spaciousness and ease I desire, and to reach more hearts and change more lives in the process.

In This Episode:

Creating sustainable wealth + freedom in your business [ :45 ]
#1: Know your numbers [ 2:42 ]
#2 Creating residual + multiple streams of income [ 5:00 ]
#3 The Real Results Cycle [ 8:38 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"We have to pay attention, we can't bury our heads in the sand… we have to know our numbers."
"We are diverse, we are multi-passionate, and we are able to serve others in many different ways."
"The quality of your commitment will determine the quality of your results."
"Sustainable wealth will not only create more joy in your own life, it will also allow you to expand your impact in a massive way."
