Have you ever had the experience of knowing that you were NOT going in the right direction for yourself or for your career? Listen in as my special guest, Shelley Paxton, discusses redefining and waking up to your truth, solidifying what matters the most and creating a future that is more in alignment with who you are meant to be. Stay tuned as we discuss slowing down to meditate and listen to your body, feeling brighter, more energetic and like the most powerful version of yourself and understanding that success is something that happens from the inside out.
Think Brené Brown meets Biker Babe, with a dash of Liz Gilbert. As former Chief Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson, Shelley Paxton found herself at the top of the proverbial mountain feeling success-EMPTY instead of success-FULL. That awakening led her on a profound Soulbbatical journey that became her mission, business, and bestselling book, Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life. She’s leading a REBELution to rewrite the script of success and liberate a billion souls. She also hosts the Rebel Souls podcast which invites you to flip the middle finger to the status quo in life, business, and the world at large.

Timestamps:
• [6:14] “We're all coming out of this two year pandemic that crystallized what matters most. And now it's up to us to create going forward in a way that feels more aligned with our truth.”
• [7:22] Shelley talks about listening to our bodies because they are always telling us the truth.
• [16:59] “I'm really obsessed with this idea of successful because it really is reframing success, its success as a feeling, not as a checklist, and its success as something that happens from the inside out.”
• [19:59] Shelley explains that giving yourself the space and time to dig deep will help you find the most powerful version of yourself.

When listening to this somewhat philosophical episode, I would love for you to embrace the idea that everything in life is perpetually transitioning or transforming… and to remember in this experience of constant adjustment and pivoting, that we are agents of change all the time. To honor that thought, I thought we'd have a little bit of a conversation about manifesting what you want in your life, figuring out your relationship to your life, and to embrace the reality of change and the powerful creators of change that we are instead of denying or pushing it away.

Timestamps:
• [3:01] “We are very powerful creators of change.”
• [3:34] Dr. Li explains the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.
• [5:28] Christine poses a challenge: If you eliminated the concept of being stuck, of having a fixed mindset, what would come through for you?
• [8:05] Dr. Li discusses active hopefulness and deciding what you want to bring into your life, what you want to see change in your life, what you want to do with your skills, your power, your ingenuity, your talents, your intelligence…

Most people believe that stress is a normal part of business and life. My special guest, friend and mentor, Courtney Elmer, believes differently. Get ready to take a good look at your life and your business because Courtney is here to teach us how to simplify them both! Listen in as she shares her personal story, how she came to understand what success meant to her, and when she realized she didn’t have to work to the degree she was in order to have success and make business and life feel effortless. There are several thought provoking questions and great lessons in store for you in this episode!

Courtney Elmer is the founder and CEO of The Effortless Life, a company dedicated to helping visionary leaders get the right systems structure and support in place so they can scale to seven figures while spending more time in their zone of genius. Courtney is a corporate escapee, cancer survivor, and host of the globally ranked Systems Made Simple podcast.

• [11:20] “And it really boiled down to this fear of failure on the surface, but failure wasn't the root for me, the route was looking like a fool. And being rejected and being made fun of almost for failing. And that was the thing that I was afraid of.”
• [14:34] “Ask yourself, how would I define success for me? How do I define it for me? And that is so key because no two of us have the same definition of success…”
• [18:17] Courtney tells us that she “believes growth is about stripping away to reveal what's already there within you. The things that are written on your heart, that maybe you haven't taken the time to ask yourself these deeper questions and to ponder and to consider…”

In today’s hybrid work world where we are sometimes working via Zoom, sometimes from work, and sometimes from our home basement, it is imperative that we are on top of our communication game so we can represent ourselves well, enhance our presence, and resonate with any audience we might be in front of.

My special guest, Jane Hanson has spent over 30 years using the lessons she has learned in her broadcast journalism career to help people communicate better. You will learn lots of communication tips from Jane in this episode, which is essentially a masterclass in speaking effectively.

You’re also going to hear how Jane came to New York three decades ago to join the NBC networks. She began as an anchor and correspondent for WNBC New York. In 1988, Jane was named co-anchor of “Today in New York.” Later, she became the station’s primary anchor for local programming and the host of “Jane’s New York.” She covered events ranging from the tragedy of 9/11 to the joy of the Yankees’ victory parades to Wall Street and Washington; she has interviewed presidents, business magnates, prisoners, and celebrities and has won 9 Emmy awards as well.

Timestamps:

• [9:31] Jane talks about the key to being a great communicator is to use your ears!
• [11:45] “...because doing Zoom, or Google Chrome or whatever we're using today, actually saves people a lot of time and money. We don't have to travel. We don't have to commute. We don't have to do a lot of things that cost us the most precious thing we have in our life, which is our time…”
• [16:45] Jane shares that the tone of your voice and the way that you are saying things makes a big difference.

Imagine changing the patterns of your daily life so you know in your heart of hearts that you were doing everything you could to live your best life. Today's guest, Dr. Angie Brown is here to share with us the blueprint for doing just that in your life. Through parenting struggles and mom guilt, demands on her time, an injury and inconsistency with her health and physical training, she courageously shares with us her personal journey that helped her to realize just how important prioritizing health really was.

Dr. Angie Brown, DPT is a mom, wife, entrepreneur, coach, and physical therapist that is the founder of the Real Life Runners Training Academy and Real Life Runners podcast that she hosts alongside her husband, Kevin Brown. She loves helping busy parents run consistently without injury so they can have more energy, be strong, healthy, and fit, and be an example of what’s possible. She holds her doctorate in physical therapy, specializing in runner-specific strength and conditioning, mobility, and injury prevention for runners and also holds a certification in nutrition to help her clients integrate healthy eating to complement their training and overall health goals.

Timestamps:

• [14:56] Angie talks about the signals our body gives us and paying attention to them.
• [17:28] “I think it's a lot of cultural conditioning, especially for us as women that we should be self sacrificing, and that we should be devoting ourselves to help other people and kind of putting ourselves last and I see a shift happening in in today's culture, and I'm very, very grateful of that.”

[Meditation Inside] Turn Your Toxic Can-Do Attitude into Healthy Inspired Action with Sensei Victoria Whitfield May 19, 2022

Show notes

Send Dr. Li a text here. Please leave your email address if you would like a reply, thanks.

Have you ever worked yourself to the point where you felt like you had really overdone things? Maybe even to the apex of landing yourself in hot water or even the hospital? If you are curious about whether your tendency to overwork or give too much of yourself is affecting you negatively, this episode is for you! My guest, Sensei Victoria Whitfield, shares a goosebump-inducing story about her own experience working herself into a dire situation, and then also shares how this event shaped her life and career. It was a major transition and we get to hear and, more importantly, learn from her journey. It's a fascinating story that involves her deep understanding of race, history, society, energy, and herself. I hope you enjoy this conversation and the powerful meditation inside.

As the world's first Business Reiki Master (TM) and hostess of the 5-star rated Journeypreneur Podcast on iTunes, Sensei Victoria Whitfield helps empathic entrepreneurs and leaders stay grounded and clear as they navigate the emotional rollercoaster of business development, by using the power of strategic meditation. Sensei Whitfield is a published author, a successful six-figure energy healer, and has toured the world showing heart-centered and growth-minded leaders how to get connected to their Natural Intuition and truly be #Visionary, so they can work less and increase their impact.

Timestamps:
• [4:09] Victoria shares “For me, to be visionary has been a lifelong journey, something that brings me out of shell. So for me personally, I've been on a long journey, managing my own energy, right and being what's called an empath, which is energy sensitive and picking up on things that have been left unsaid.”
• [6:43] Victoria speaks of her upbringing by her black Christian Minister father and white herbalist, nature queen mother… “the two of them really raised me on concepts like anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve like Napoleon Hill…”
• [7:07] Victoria shares a story about the day she realized she had a toxic “can do attitude.”
• [34:08] “And for those of us who are called to contribute, right, and who are in servant leadership roles, the ability to pause powerfully is essential to being resilient and having the confidence that we're headed in the right direction.”

How to Improve Your Narrative Intelligence and Increase Your Influence with Christina Blacken May 12, 2022

Show notes

Send Dr. Li a text here. Please leave your email address if you would like a reply, thanks.

Conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion seem to be a more frequent and familiar part of both our business and general culture. But how are actual changes and improvements in individual and group behavior going to be made?

My special guest, Christina Blacken has made a career for herself of looking at this very important question and chose a tool to do her work that is called Narrative Intelligence. In the episode, Christina teaches us all about Narrative Intelligence, her own childhood and childhood surroundings which sharpened her knowledge for story, and how stories influence people's thoughts and behavior. You will gain insight on how Christina expertly trains other people to be more aware of the stories that have influenced them, the cultures and policies they operate in, and to be more conscious about how they use their own personal influence.

Christina Blacken is a public speaker, performer, and founder of The New Quo. The New Quo is a leadership development and equity consultancy, helping leaders create equitable practices, habits, and goals through their narrative intelligence. She helps leaders identify the psychological impact of historical, cultural, and personal narratives on beliefs, bias, and behaviors to improve their bias recognition, as well as providing them with leadership tools to create more inclusive and equitable communication, goal setting, decision making, and relationship building skills.

Timestamps:
• [6:50] “So many of the things I've created in my life have always started from a pain point or a block or a barrier…”
• [8:32] Christina shares how and why she discovered that story was a big part of how people were ingesting different cultures and identities that they maybe never interacted with before.
• [11:12] Christina shares an example of “wholesale buying” of stories that influence and impact… “When there's discussions around beauty and professionalism, that straight hair is the norm. And if you don't have straight hair, you're not professional, you're not as attractive.
• [16:03] Christina explains narrative intelligence as “the ability to recognize the patterns, and the narrative tropes that are internalized within you when it comes to societal or cultural stories, and how those then affect your behavior, your thinking, your biases, and shifting them appropriately if they're in the way of your full potential because there are stories we can ingest…”
