Dealing with Massive Change • X30 Jan 29, 2021

Show notes

We will learn:

Practical tips for dealing with massive change
How to decipher when you’re saying no to respect your boundaries vs fear of leaving your comfort zone
Why co-creating with the is cosmos so impactful

How do you feel about change? Do you handle it well? Do you usually avoid it? Are you optimistic when happens outside of your will?

The funny thing is, we actually like change, but only when we’re the one’s choosing it.

People not only fear change, they genuinely believe (usually on an unconscious level) that when you’ve been doing something a certain way for a long time, it must be a good way to do things. And the longer you’ve been doing it that way, the better it is.

So change isn’t just about embracing the unknown — it’s about giving up something old (and therefore good) for something new (and therefore not good).

So with all the change happening in the world, not only do most of us have fear and resistance, we also have all of these beliefs that things are going to get worse.

So today we’re talking about how to deal with massive change. From pivoting your business, to homeschooling to dealing with loss and tragedy… and how to do so in a way that you’re actually thriving instead of barely surviving.

Our guest is Jenny Fenig. She’s an intuitive business coach with a goal to help you remember who you truly are: a magic maker.

The Surprising Power of Introverts Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

We will learn:

How introverts and extroverts differ int heir nervous system responses
How to beat your struggles and maximize your strengths as an introvert
The best ways for introverts to find meaningful connections

Between 25 and 50 percent of the population are introverts.

There’s also a lot of misconceptions about introverts. People tend to think they’re super shy or anti-social. But what’s closer to accurate is just that they focus more on internal thoughts and feelings than they do on external stimuli.

These assumptions seem like weaknesses, but the truth is, being an introvert is actually a superpower.

If you’re an Introvert, you tend to be a good listener. You think before you speak. You usually notice what other people miss. Yeah you enjoy time alone, but you also care about people, so you prefer quality over quantity in your relationships. Your mind is always active.

Being an introvert doesn’t come without struggles though. You may tend to overthink, or compare yourself to others. You might let fear or lack of confidence hold your back.

But your struggles can be transformed into your greatest strengths. We just need to know the right tools to get the job done.

And that’s what we’re talking about today.

Our guest is Holley Gerth. She is a bestselling author, licensed counselor, and life coach. She’s shares everything you need to know, from brain science to the psychological, relational, and spiritual aspects of being an introvert.

How to Stop Being So Moody Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

We will learn:

What are moods are trying to tell us
How to shorten a whole mood into a moment
We break down the most common moods and how to deal with them in a way that will create new emotional habits

How much of your life are you wasting because you’re in a mood?

Reframing how you feel about your emotions and your relationship to them is really the first step to changing your mood habits. Because it’s hard to reframe an experience if you’re doing so out of fear, or if you think your reaction is inevitable.

And from there, we can start to learn the tools for reframing our most common moods and what’s really beneath them. And I’ll give you a hint, what’s really at the root of our moods is usually not what we’re reacting to at all.

Our guest today is Lauren Martin. She is the founder of Words of Women and author of The Book of Moods. She’s here to show us that you really can turn your worst moods into your best life.*

Sparking Epiphanies • X29 Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

Subscribe in Apple Podcasts or at mindlove.com for the full episode!

We will learn:

How to recognize an epiphany
The stages of every life-changing epiphany
How to utilize our epiphanies to their highest potentials.

Have you ever had an epiphany? Do you even know what one is?

We usually use it to mean a sudden revelation or insight… and most of the time I hear it used in those lightbulb moments of creativity… kinda like an “aha” moment.

But I’m coming to learn it goes a little deeper.

The dictionary definition is a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential *meaning* of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.

And the word “epiphany” dates all the way back to ancient Greece. It comes from the Greek “epiphaneia,” meaning “appearance” or “manifestation,” and was usually referred to the revelations brought to us by the gods.

So it’s not just about a random insight… it’s an intuition realization about the the deeper meaning of something.

Which I believe is our whole purpose in being in a body in this lifetime. To find the meaning in our lives.

Our guest is Elise Ballard. She is the author of the book, Epiphany: True Stories of Sudden Insight and Epiphany: The Journal, which are all part of her Epiphany Project, a collection of interviews with people from all walks of life about their greatest epiphanies.

She is now considered an “epiphany expert” so I’m super stoked at the insights we’ll get from today’s episode.

How to Decide Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

We will learn

How the hindsight bias screws with our decisions
How to better identify the obstacles that might get in our way
When to bring out our full decision toolkit and when to act quickly

Why are decisions so hard?

We should all know by now that our time is the most valuable resource we have, so why would we willingly waste it on things that are so trivial?

Indecision is not cute. I’ll tell you what it is though… It’s annoying. It’s counterproductive and it’s a form of pain.

And there are all sorts of consequences.

We end up procrastinating so we don’t have to face the decision at all. Which then affects our self-belief because we stop trusting ourselves to keep a structure and finish things.

So today we’re going to talk about How to Decide.

Our guest is Annie Duke. She is a corporate speaker, and consultant in the decision-making space.

And she’s the author of How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices and Thinking in Bets, which is a national bestseller.

She is the co-founder of The Alliance for Decision Education, a non-profit whose mission is to improve lives by empowering students through decision skills education.

Motherhood & Entrepreneurship • X28 Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

Subscribe in Apple Podcasts or at mindlove.com for the full episode!

We will learn:

Multi-sensory healing - your senses are the portals for your awareness
Why strong women often feel empty and disconnected inside
How to stop outsourcing your authority

Do you believe you can have it all? Or does a part of you believe that having it all is actually a little selfish?

As women, we’re given mixed messages, about pretty much everything. Thankfully we live in an era of female empowerment so there are plenty of stories of women being successful and raising a family.

But what I’ve found is that when it comes down to it… like when women are faced with the logistics of what it takes to have both, the choice becomes a little murkier.

We wonder if it’s selfish to outsource our parenting, or if it makes financial sense or what we’re depriving them of, or if we’ll have the energy to succeed and still be a good mom.

So today we’re talking to someone who has done it all.

Cherie Burton is a pioneering spiritual psychologist whose mission in life is to transform women into authentically embodied and empowered leaders.

She is also a mother of six, an author, an international speaker and host of the Women Seeking Wholeness podcast.

How to Develop Mental Strength • 163 Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

We will learn:

What makes a mentally strong person
Why and how to do hard things
How to push through self doubt toward our highest purpose

Would you consider yourself mentally strong? Do you even know what that means?

Most people though equate mental strength with mental health. But according to the dictionary mental health is just the absence of a mental illness.

Often it’s our struggles that motivate us to develop mental strength because we realize that the pain of change is less than the way things are.

But here’s the thing, we don’t have to wait for things to get so bad that we’re forced to make changes in our lives. We can choose to consciously create our lives based on what we want out of it, rather than just based on what we don’t want to happen.

Well today we’re going to learn how to develop the mental strength that will help us lead our best lives.

Our guest is Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and the host of the Mentally Strong People podcast. Her books, including 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, and are international bestsellers. She also gave one of the most popular TEDx talks of all time.

Body Image Resilience • 162 Dec 29, 2020

Show notes

We will learn:

The difference between body image resilience and body positivity?
How self-objectification destroys our identities and what to do about it
How to create a healthy relationship with your body including powerful mantras and being more media savvy

If you’re anything like me, most of your life you’ve had a love/hate relationship with your body.

Actually, if you’re a woman, there’s a good chance there’s not a lot of love in that love/hate relationship.

Approximately 91% of women are unhappy with their bodies and resort to dieting to achieve their ideal body shape.

Our obsessions and disappointment with our bodies isn’t healthy. It creates a disordered relationship with food or with exercise, but most dangerous, it creates a disordered relationship with ourselves.

Today’s episode we’re going to explore an alternate vision for your relationship with your body.

Our guest has a really unique perspective because as an identical twin, she and her sister basically saw themselves from the outside in, with a constant comparison and sense of competition.

We will be speaking with Dr. Lexie Kite today. Both she and her identical twin Lindsay have PhDs and are co-founders of the non-profit Beauty Redefined and experts in the work of body image resilience. They reach millions worldwide via research-backed online education. And their new book More than a Body was just released today.

Work through Anxiety and Embrace Struggle • X27 Dec 25, 2020

Show notes

We will learn:

How to release our resistance around things we can’t change
How to identify subconscious patterns that drive our behavior in subtle ways
How to relieve a panic attack in the moment

The holidays can be stressful, especially if you’ve been financially impacted this year.

There’s all the gift expectations and shopping and cooking and planning… or maybe sadness because you can’t gather or trying to figure out how to make this season special for grandma.

Anxiety is really just a feeling of worry or unease about the future. And how your mind and body manifest that unease might be different.

There are a few mindset shifts that I think have played a huge role in my being able to overcoming my anxiety quickly.

First, I don’t identify with it. It’s temporary and this step is critical to trusting yourself to move through your feelings.

Second, train yourself to look within instead of placing blame outside of yourself. This also puts the power back in your hands because you can change how you’re approaching the moment, but you usually can’t change other people or events.

Once your brain is primed that you have more power than you used to give yourself credit for, then you have all sorts of tools for dealing with anxiety in the moment.

And that’s what we’re talking about today.

Our guest is Jean Walters. She is a Transformational Coach and Best Selling author of 5 books specializing in spiritual and personal empowerment. She has been teaching metaphysical techniques and performing Akashic Record readings for 40 years. And she’s the author of he Journey from Anxiety to Peace: Practical Steps to Handle Fear, Embrace Struggle, and Eliminate Worry to become Happy and Free.

How to Use Stress an an Opportunity • 161 Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

We will learn:

How to stop resisting our stress
How to turn stress into an opportunity
And how to stop being bitter and remember why you’re celebrating

Stress is inevitable… especially as we’re right smack in the middle of the holidays, still navigating a pandemic, unemployment for a lot of people… and we know that stress has a pretty huge negative impact on our health… so … are we all screwed?

No, not if we’re willing to examine our stress a little and change our relationship with it.

It is actually possible to never have another problem for the rest of your life.

This is because events are not problems; they’re just events. Your resistance to them is what causes the problem.

But then the question becomes how do I do that? How do I step into a new mindset? How do I use life to let go of all my impressions of how things should be so I can also let go of the stress they create?

Well, you have to become very conscious, especially of that mental voice that starts resisting whenever you think you don’t like something.

And that’s what we’re talking about today.

Our guest is Dr. Dravon James. She is the founder of Everyday Peace and the author of Freedom is Your Birthright. Her whole goal is to inspire others to build the life of their dreams no matter what shows up in their lives- good, bad, or otherwise.
