Powerback 177: Let's Reconnect with Your Inner Child Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

When was the last time that you truly allowed yourself to play? To dance? To be goofy or silly? To color in a coloring book or play some video games for hours?
When was the last time that you painted for the hell of it or redecorated a room because you felt like it? When was the last time that you played dress-up in your own closet?
Well, if you’ve been feeling a little stagnant lately, a little flat, and feeling like you need a little “pick me up”, some pizzazz, some fun, some adventure back in your life, then, today's Powerback® episode just might do the trick.
We're gonna talk about connecting with your inner child so you can reconnect with who you were before the world told you what you should be by embracing your fun, your play, your silliness, your adventure, and incorporating that version of you that lives inside of you every single day in your everyday life.
We’ll walk through:

LauraAura: where the name comes from and what it means
My recent impromptu rain playdate
The power of play and having fun
You get to be for your inner child now what she needed then
A fun and beautiful exercise to reconnect with your inner child

177: Metaphysical Success and Fulfillment with Erin Patten Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Are you on a journey to discover and experience deeply fulfilling happiness, success, and expansion? This is all possible when you are willing to get still, feel what you need to feel, and take action towards the things that you truly want vs. the things you feel you SHOULD do or be.
Today, we’re talking with Erin Patten about Metaphysics - the combination of energy and strategy - to achieve success and fulfillment in your life and business.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

From Harvard to Healing
How Erin didn’t allow her traumas to dictate who she is
The universe unfolds slowly
The concept of Metaphysics and why it is so important
How to start to tap into your energy
The soul journey with your feelings and the refinement
The dis-ease state in life and especially in business
Manifesting, making shifts, and awareness
The soul of your organization

Erin is a Metaphysical Master with an old soul and a youthful vision. From Houston to Harvard, she discovered that in order to experience fulfilled success she needed intentional healing to truly manifest the life of her dreams while experiencing real joy. She now helps other business owners do the same through The MetaBusiness World.

Powerback 176: Clarity and Momentum When You’re Overwhelmed Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

You've got a lot of shit to do, you've got a to-do list, you've got your dreams, you've got your desires, you've got all the things that are happening every single day, and it can get really overwhelming really quickly.
I don't know about you, but one of my tendencies when things get kind of big and are feeling out of control is to just shut the fuck down. Turns out that doesn't really help anything, though.
So, today's Powerback® episode is all about helping you find clarity and momentum, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed because you are greater than the tendency, you are greater than the moment, and you are greater than the fucking to-do list.
We’ll go through:

My experience this week where I felt like just shutting down
Pause to acknowledge where you currently are and what you need
Get it out of your head and onto paper
3 questions to help you find clarity and momentum

Powerback 175: Breaking the Habit Loop Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

Do you ever get caught in this cycle where you know that there's something that you need to do, you know that there's something that you want to do for yourself and you may even get around to it once or twice, but you just can't quite seem to move forward?
You often get sidetracked or sit on the couch or scroll through your phone and before you know it, you keep doing the same things over and over again and you can't seem to break the pattern and make the changes you want.
Trust me, there’s nothing wrong with you! You are not alone! The good news is there is a way to break this pattern. It's called Breaking the Habit Loop and that's what we're going to dig into on today's Powerback® episode.
We’ll walk through:

What habit loops are and how they’re created
How your brain works
Replacing the old habit loop with a new one
Changing the pattern takes time
Subtle, tiny shifts everyday

Powerback 174: Fuck being fearless Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

“Be fearless!” “Do it fearlessly!” “You're a fearless leader!”
This word, this catchphrase, this mantra so to speak has been inflated and thrown at you as another level of expectation of something that you must meet. It's this ideation that to move forward you must do it without fear being present.
Then, when you do feel fearful, when you do feel nervous or scared, it's so easy to internalize because of this messaging that “maybe there's something wrong with me and I'm not doing something right” or that “I need to put off my dreams or desires until fear isn't around”.
That, my friend, is why today's Powerback® episode is called “Fuck being fearless”. Tune in to discover how you can take your power back from your fears and start to call in and draw in all the things that you keep thinking and feeling about.

Is it possible to be truly fearless?
Another ‘should’ disguised as empowerment
Dealing with the three things caused by the expectation of being fearless
Using the Powerback® Process to shift your relationship with fear
It’s not about being fearless, it’s about being gutsy

Show notes

You’re ready to be at your next level of love, success, business, or life… but the reality isn’t matching the vision. What if you began to FEEL that next level today before it showed up? TO believe it to be so true that you can actually feel the joy, excitement, or fulfillment today, in this moment?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Making bold choices that are right for you
Melissa’s framework for embodiment and personal P.O.W.E.R.
What embodiment is and looks like
How to get started on the work of embodiment
Mistakes are inevitable, give yourself grace
The life-changing power of the pause
How to figure out your own version of embodiment

Melissa is the creator of the Boldly Courageous community & host of the Boldly Courageous Podcast. Her mission is to help more women realize the greatness that is within and to take action towards their big dreams despite fear.

Powerback 173: Relearn how to trust yourself and your intuition Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

Did you know that the majority of the answers that you are looking for outside of yourself, through other people, on the internet and blogs, and scrolling through your phone can be found within yourself?
My friend, you are born with an incredibly powerful tool and that is your intuition. But, you're taught to not trust yourself, to go outside of yourself for answers to seek validation, and that voice, that inner knowing, that gut feeling seems to feel maybe not so strong anymore.
That's why today's Powerback® episode is all about helping you to relearn how to trust yourself, to pause, to get quiet and go inward, and to know that your feelings are enough.
We’ll go through:

How your intuition gets muffled
When you’re meant to hear or feel something, it WILL make itself known
Following your intuition doesn’t always equate to a simple action
The bricks and butterflies exercise: identifying intuitive yeses or noes
How to strengthen your intuition and trust yourself again
