How to overcome anything with Ashley Bernardi Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Veteran news booker and producer Ashley Bernardi founded Nardi Media in 2015, which quickly became a leading media relations agency with an expertise in broadcast, print, and online press. With a strategic focus on media relations, Ashley never misses an opportunity to develop relationships with reporters and producers, proactively generate media coverage and integrate her clients into the news of the day.

Ashley has over a decade of booking and producing experience in national television broadcasting. More important than her lengthy list of accolades - including her tenure as a top booker at national news networks like Bloomberg and CBS News and booking producer for The Washington Post - is her passion for publicity. Her deep expertise extends to radio and television satellite media tours, booking guests for breaking news, media strategy and managing production logistics for live shots, television shoots, and more.

Ashley has helped clients grow from zero exposure to household names on the New York Times Bestsellers list. Additionally, she has helped heads of state, lawmakers, celebrities, best-selling authors, non-profit organizations and national brands increase their exposure, credibility and awareness through strategic media placements, which include placing clients in top-tier publications and media outlets such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, TODAY, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, NPR, Fortune, Business Insider, USA TODAY, PEOPLE, TIME, CNBC, Bloomberg, Women's World, Family Circle, FIRST For Women, and hundreds more.

She is a sought-after speaker and regularly featured expert in the media, including WJLA-TV and WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C.

Ashley shares about her wake up call with Lymes disease and how she learned one of the biggest lessons of her life; letting go of the doing, perfectionism and need to put her self care first. After 30 doctors with no diagnosis, it wasn't until her last visit with the 31st doctor who finally diagnosed her Lyme's. It took Ashley over 8 weeks to be able to get out of bed and start moving again. She sees this health crisis as one of her biggest gifts and has learned to re-prioritize her entire life around healing and honoring her body, mind and spirit. Ashley shares some of her healing practices that she incorporates daily to stay well and have good energy.

Surrender everything, let go and let what's meant to flow and heal come in. Make time for stillness. For Ashley this was meditation and prayer.
Do intuitive journaling and sacred writing. This is where you get out your pen and write whatever comes to mind, doodle or draw until you start to get more insight or flow to your thoughts.
Gentle yoga and time in nature helped to lower her cortisol levels (which were dangerously high from her stressful job and lifestyle).
Repeat the mantra 'this is temporary' as often as needed. This helped Ashley stay grounded!
Be an overcomer, not an overachiever!
Find what you loved to do as a child and start incorporating that in your day; for her it was dancing, singing, reading and writing.

We also talked about the lessons of the pandemic and how this can be a time for real change and deep reflection on what's really important. This is a time to come home to yourself and connect more to spirit (or whatever you call that divine connection) and your true self.

How to Access Your Psychic Powers with Laura Powers Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

Laura is an entertainer, celebrity psychic, actress, model, host, singer, writer, and speaker. She is the host of the popular film and television podcast, "Behind the Scenes with Laura Powers," and her top 100 podcast on Apple Podcasts, "Healing Powers Podcast." She is the author of 7 books and editing two other books that will be released in 2020. She travels full time for clients, television and other media appointments, and for the love of traveling. Laura has been featured on several television channels and networks including BuzzFeed, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, The CW, The Jet Set, and many others. She was recently interviewed by Will Ferrell on his podcast, "The Ron Burgundy Podcast".

Oh my gosh, this was such an interesting and powerful conversation about opening your own psychic abilities (if that interests you), how to protect your energy and how to lean on angelic beings from 'the other side' for help and support in your life.

Some of the key takeaways were:

Create a daily practice, evening or morning, where you ask your guides for support, you thank them for guiding you, you express gratitude for all that you can appreciate and time to envision your deepest heart's desires and how it will feel to have those manifested.
Great questions to ask yourself when shifting your energy to a higher vibration --- is what I'm choosing what I want? Release relationships and belongings that no longer serve you.
For greater protection of your energy field, invoke archangels like Archangel Michael for protection or Archangel Raphael for travel. Notice how you feel when you connect to these higher realms.
Laura explains that the 'other side' is a beautiful, loving and supportive realm full of positive energy of souls ready to help and support human beings.

The Most Important Vow You'll Ever Make with Danielle LaPorte Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah's Super Soul 100, a group who, in Oprah Winfrey's words, "is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters." She is the creator of The Desire Map series—the book has been translated into ten languages, a day planner system, and online courses that over 250,000 people have tapped into. There are 500+ Desire Map Facilitators running programs in 23 countries.

Her podcast, With Love, Danielle, ranked in iTunes' Top 10 Wellness category. She's the author of White Hot Truth: Clarity for keeping it real on your spiritual path, and The Fire Starter Sessions: A guide to creating success on your own terms, which also spun off into a coaching curriculum.

Danielle was a book publicist and publishing consultant, and the executive director of a future-studies think tank, studying trends for the likes of the Pentagon and the World Bank.

Her charities of choice are VDay: a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls; and Tree Sisters setting out to "rapidly accelerate reforestation through Nature-based feminine leadership."

Marianne Williamson refers to Danielle "as a bright light in the modern priestesshood." Eve Ensler calls her "a force field of energy, wonder, humour, and love." She now speaks at women's events about consciousness and heart-intelligence, and is a mother to a teenage son.

This conversation with Danielle was nothing short of delicious and quite deep. I started out by asking her about her experience stepping into her higher self, her 'You-est You'. I loved her answer, "What else is there?'...short and sweet, yet so profound. We talked a lot about living in truth, connected to your soul self, your higher self or God self. We often doubt ourselves, yet Danielle reminded me that really at the heart of who you are, you know it. You know your truth. We also got into the need for each of us to be more inclusive, loving, aware and awake to the fact that most of our world is set up to distract us and keep you distanced from your true essence. I know I've struggled with taking time away from my phone, pausing to be present and not worrying if I'm missing a client's email or social media post to like or comment on. It's easy to get caught up in distraction and it's important to understand that this feeds into the addiction of not being present with yourself. The aim, as Danielle so beautifully said is to "love with fullness, to be aligned with spirit and allow for your higher wisdom to guide you. It's about living a heart-centered life." You have to want to be free, free from the distractions and negative beliefs, to become awake. "It's a big vow to be devoted to being awake and living in your heart."

We also talked about the importance of doing shadow work, which really is the basement of your psyche. It needs to be cleaned up because this is what is controlling your decisions. The inner child work so many of us have worked on is really the unconscious part of ourselves. You want wholeness running the show and ultimately to be more harmonious.

Ways to be harmonious and have wholeness:

Devotion...become devoted to living in your heart through meditation and cleaning up your energy and mind.
Only expand your perception from your heart.
Learn to reparent yourself. You'll need to become the mother and father for yourself. Talk to yourself like a loving parent would, for example you might say to yourself: 'Let me look after you no matter what, 24/7. I am here with you always.'
The darkness wants you to stay distracted, don't allow yourself to be too distracted to love yourself. Devotion is the answer.
Empathy is the skill that will help you and our planet to wake up. We're here to heal and move into Unity consciousness. It starts with you.

The Book You Were Meant To Write with Kelly Notaras Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

kn literary arts is the creation of 15-year publishing veteran Kelly Notaras. After starting her career in New York City—working as an editor for HarperCollins, Penguin USA and Hyperion Books—she relocated several years ago to Boulder, Colorado where she served for four years as the VP and Editorial Director at Sounds True, a multi-media spirituality publishing company. There she oversaw an impressive list of spiritual luminaries including Adyashanti, Reggie Ray, Krishna Das, Sharon Salzberg, Pema Chodron, Caroline Myss, and many more.

In 2010 she left Sounds True to ghostwrite her first book, but her love of editing was never far away. Since starting kn literary arts, she has been honored to edit a wide variety of personal growth books including the forthcoming Intimate Conversations with the Divine by Caroline Myss and New York Times Bestsellers The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner and Pussy: A Reclamation by Regena "Mama Gena" Thomashauer. kn literary's amazing client list also includes Nancy Levin, Michael Morelli, Agapi Stassinopoulos, Miranda Macpherson, Bruce Tift, Drew Canole, Danette May and many more.

Kelly is the author of The Book You Were Born to Write: Everything You Need to (Finally) Get Your Wisdom Onto the Page and Into the World, published by Hay House. She lives in Colorado. Visit her at www.knliterary.com.

Kelly shared so much wisdom about how and why you must write the book that is in your heart.

If you're struggling with the question "Who am I to write a book?" (like many of us authors), look at it from a different angle. Focus on being of service and the 'how to' that will help others. Life wants you to share your experience, not hold on to it!

2.The reader is everything! You'll want to pick a specific person whom you're writing to that could use your wisdom. You don't have to go much farther along the path...all you need are a few steps ahead to be able to shine the light and help your reader.

Get out of your ego, and into your intuition. If you're an author and not a writer, Kelly's company is filled with amazing writers who can help you.
A great way to write your book is take a course you're already teaching and break it up into chapters and sections. Mama Gena did this with her bestselling book, Pussy: A Reclamation.

Growing Big Dreams & Manifesting Your Heart's Desires with Robert Moss Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

Robert Moss has been a dream traveler since doctors pronounced him clinically dead in a hospital in Hobart, Tasmania, when he was three years old. From his experiences in many worlds, he created his School of Active Dreaming, his original synthesis of modern dreamwork and ancient shamanic and mystical practices for journeying to realms beyond the physical and growing creative imagination. He has led popular workshops all over the world, including a three-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming and online courses for the Shift Network. A former lecturer in ancient history at the Australian National University, he is a New York Times bestselling novelist, poet, journalist, and independent scholar. His many books on dreaming, shamanism, and imagination include Conscious Dreaming, The Secret History of Dreaming, Dreaming the Soul Back Home, The Boy Who Died and Came Back, Sidewalk Oracles, and Mysterious Realities. His latest book, Growing Big Dreams: Manifesting Your Heart's Desires through 12 Secrets of the Imagination is a passionate and practical call to step through the gates of dreams and imagination to survive hard times, travel without leaving home, and grow the vision of a more abundant life so rich and strong that it wants to take root in the world. He has lived in upstate New York since he received a message from a red-tailed hawk under an old white oak.

The conversation we had is incredibly pertinent to today's very turbulent times. Robert calls it a 'dream drought', where we now need to tap into resources and sources beyond the obvious. Dreams are the language of the soul. This is where dreams come in, and not just the dreams you have at night. He explains the different kinds of dreams you can have, the magic of how they work in helping you to manifest your heart's desires and how to start now. Here are some wonderful tips to help you start to reopen your relationship with your dreams, of all kinds:

Start with your night time dreams and begin to journal about them each morning. Journaling tells the Universe production team, so to speak, that you're ready to record and to listen.
Try and remember your first and the last dream you had and write about it (this opens you up to being a vessel for connecting more to your dreams)
Get in touch with your magical child self --- whatever it was that you enjoyed doing, start doing more of that NOW.
Meditate and grow a vision in your mind of where you want to go directed from your heart center. Find an object that represents this image so you can better touch, taste and feel it. This level of consciousness is known as the 'privileged zone of consciousness'.
Give yourself permission and time for day dreaming and to lay around horizontally before you sleep or right when you wake up to connect at a deeper level. This will help you to access the I-land (get it, instead of Island?!) of your heart's deepest desires.

One of my favorite quotes (and chapter titles) from Robert is that 'You don't have to drive used Karma' and 'The stronger the imagination, the less imaginary the results'.

Finding Radical Compassion with Tara Brach Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

Tara Brach is an internationally known meditation teacher, psychologist and author of bestselling Radical Acceptance and Radical Compassion. Her popular weekly podcast is downloaded 3 million times a month. Along with Jack Kornfield, Tara leads the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) serving participants in over 50 countries.

This was by far one of the most touching and moving interviews I've done. It is clear that Tara embodies incredible presence, loving kindness and the qualities of the divine.

There were so many beautiful words of wisdom here that I hope touch, move and inspire you as much as they did for me. I believe that self-kindness and ending the war with ourselves is one of the most important steps to waking up and changing our collective story to one of collaboration and community. Read on for Tara's brilliant nuggets of wisdom:

When you're in a challenging time, as we all are now, Tara shared that it's important to start with "This is hard." It's real and raw and affirms what's going on. When we get stressed, we turn against ourselves and get into a 'trance of unworthiness'. We start to believe "It feels bad, so I'm bad." Being at war with ourselves is the biggest issue.
Real transformation happens when we decide to be kind to ourselves. Let your intention be to be kind to yourself, and start there. You might say "Please, may I be kind."
A practice Tara uses in her own life, especially during the pandemic, is to bookend her day. She starts the day with "Please, may I be open hearted, open to love and kind." In the evening she'll scan the day to see what happened. No matter what, be kind to yourself and don't get into blame or judgment. Tenderness with ourselves helps to decondition this negative inner voice.
Whatever you practice becomes your practice. Set the intention to be present and loving.
What really matters right now is waking up together, holding hands. We need to wake up out of separateness because we belong together as one energy and one spirit.
Meditation doesn't have to just be sitting down, it can be you taking a walk in nature, singing, yoga or lying on your back feeling into your body. Tara shared a great piece of fun advice, "put your tush on the cushion and no judgement."

A Surprising New Definition of Wealth with Asmâa Methqal Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

Asmâa I. Methqal is a connection catalyst, trainer, facilitator, business strategist, and an advocate of Feminine Leadership. She is passionate about helping women entrepreneurs and executives unlock their highest potential, activate their feminine power, and launch their dream business from their zone of genius, so they can live a life of connectedness and fulfillment. Asmâa is known for her authenticity, passion, and engaging conversations! Her clients love her dynamic and depth expertise in Business, Branding, Design Thinking, Movement Therapy, Emotional Intelligence, and Appreciative Inquiry. Asmâa is the founder of Fire and Flow.

Asmâa shares her story growing up in Morocco being stifled as a female with ambition and desire to have her own business. She left without any support and headed to Canada where she proved herself and created a successful marketing business, but only to find herself exhausted, drained and unhappy. She took a deep inner journey and found her intuition and feminine essence that had been buried years earlier as a little girl in Morocco. Here are some of the take-aways from our conversation that I think can help anyone in excavating your most authentic self.

Don't be afraid of the blank canvas. Embrace times of change and new possibility.
With regards to intuition --- if you hear a small whisper, it's your intuition. If you hear a loud voice yelling at you, it's your ego.
Our bodies are incredibly wise. Pay attention to any ailment or issue as it will always point to an underlying emotional reaction to heal or address.
The ultimate expression of wealth is being comfortable with yourself within and all the way through.
Take your pleasure seriously! Make time for pleasure and joy every single day.

Overcoming Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) with Dr. Valerie Rein Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Valerie Rein has discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the collective, inherited trauma of oppression. She holds a Master's degree in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University and a PhD in Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Her bestselling book and programs have helped thousands of women ditch the game of survival, of "how much can I bear?" and master the game of thriving, of "how good can it get?" Dr. Valerie is a sought-after speaker and trainer at conferences and companies committed to setting new standards of excellence in diversity, equity, and inclusion, employee satisfaction and physical and mental health, and creativity and innovation. You can find Dr. Valerie on drvalerie.com.

Dr. Valerie shares that her one question that plagued her entire childhood, 'What is wrong with me?', ended up being the question that unlocked her pathway to deeper self-love and worthiness.

As someone that would seem to have it all; a thriving psychology practice, family, and wellbeing, Dr. Valerie found herself in the ER room with her left side completely numb only to find out her diagnosis was stress. She began to dig deeper and realized after learning about epigenetics that this stress was genetically passed down, just as trauma is genetically transmitted, through the thousands of years of patriarchal dominance. Throughout the centuries, it hadn't been safe for women to thrive and have their own money or be overly attractive. This trauma has a real impact, and Dr. Valerie started studying what she now calls it as Patriarchal Stress Disorder or PSD.

You can learn healing techniques in her book, although the most important one to know is that nothing is wrong with you and you are unconditionally worthy. You can get the first chapter of her book at drvalerie.com/resources.

How To Forgive No Matter What with Shannon Bobo Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

Shannon Bobo is host of "AT HOME WITH SHANNON BOBO", a show that started through a 30 day challenge due to Covid Stay at home orders. The show is on the verge of becoming nationally syndicated and can be seen weekdays on FB live and later on youtube. Shannon is a casting director, comic and producer. Her background is in TV, radio, live performance shows, live video streaming, and producing. Shannon currently works both behind the scenes as a casting professional and in front of the camera as an actor, host, and stand-up comic. She has been in and has helped cast countless on camera commercial ads, film, and television. She is an active member of SAG/AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. (American union representing professional performers). Shannon is writing a book called "A Funny thing happened on the way to forgiveness" and is an advocate for finding peace through forgiveness, self-love, and healing. She is a certified reiki healer and energy alchemist. She is an advocate for healing and forgiving through comedy. She is an ambassador for PAVE Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment, an organization that provides support and advocacy for people who are survivors of sexual trauma. She has a focus on helping as many people as possible find their voice and creating a space for everyone to feel heard. Shannon currently resides in Los Angeles, CA. (Visit www.shannonbobo.com for more details.)

You-est You sacred listeners, there was so much inspiration shared in this episode. What spoke to me the most was Shannon's ability to be compassionate with herself and others who have transgressed or abused her in the past. Shannon struggled with playing small and limiting beliefs of needing to struggle to be successful. She learned how to be her "Bio Queen" self (inside joke, listen in to hear what that means). :)

She is a true light worker and shared how to stay in your own light, especially during a darker and more fearful time, as many have felt with this pandemic. Some of Shannon's practices (emphasis being practice, as we never fully arrive) is:

Find a Board of Directors - meaning a small circle of those who will cheer you on and support you on your journey to fully expressing in your highest self (or You-est You).
Clear yourself through what she uses as Accessing Consciousness, a clearing statement that has you clear whatever happened in the past and look to create what you truly desire in the present. The premise is to just let it all go.
Journaling as a tool for deeper gratitude and appreciation, and connection to your true self.
Take lots of salt baths and heal, rejuvenate and reconnect to you through water.
Be wary of too much triggering media - look at disturbing, upsetting and fear based media and social media as a 'prayer request' and send that person compassion and a prayer.

The most important focus right now is to learn to TRUST; yourself and in knowing that all is well and that you are always protected. By trusting and surrendering to a higher order or divine intelligence will allow you to be in a state of flow, gratitude and grace. Shannon also shared that she reads the Optimist Creed Prayer daily (see below).

Here is the the Optimist Creed Prayer:

Promise Yourself

To be SO STRONG that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity

to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the GREATER ACHIEVEMENTS of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance AT ALL TIMES and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have NO TIME to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Show notes

For more than ten years, she has helped entrepreneurs, corporate executives, Academy Award nominees and Nobel Prize organization candidates break through boundaries that have been holding them back from their next level. Her signature approach enables clients to reach their highest levels of success and impact.

If you're an entrepreneur or someone who wants to make an impact in the world, be it in your business, with your children or in your community...listen up! My interview with Lisa was incredibly eye opening as she discussed the common misconception and trap we all fall into. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck or at a plateau, Lisa is here to share that this has nothing to do with finding a better strategy or plan. In fact, it's all about your capacity. Lisa learned this the hard way when she maxed out in her own capacity and started losing track of her own inner guidance and pushed herself beyond the breaking point. As a result, she suffered from adrenal fatigue, exhaustion, anxiety, and feeling depleted spiritually, emotionally and physically. What felt like a hellish year with no end, ended up being her greatest gift. Lisa learned how to build capacity to create the business and life to match her highest potential. She now teaches these principles with thousands of individuals around the globe.

Here's a behind the curtain explanation of Capacity and the 6 types. First off, Lisa defines capacity as "The ability to hold, handle and receive your next level of work, wealth and health." In order to do this you must change how you see yourself and ask yourself, 'Who do I want to be and become'? The 6 Types of Capacities are as follows:

Financial Capacity: The ability to earn, save and invest more money every year.
Visibility Capacity: To be fully seen, especially the parts of you that want to hide.
Purpose Capacity: Having your inside match your outside and living your purpose.
Embodiment Capacity: This is all about emotional capacity and handling emotions and issues as you grow.
Structural Capacity: This is the foundation, the support and scaffolding of your empire and home. Do you have teams support your next level?
Boundaries Capacity: This is about what we say 'yes' and 'no' to, or how we make specific requests of the Universe around what we're available or not available to do.

The 4 Pillars of Capacity are: 1. Discernment 2. Sovereignty 3. Equanimity and 4. Boundaries

Lisa talked about the necessity of experiencing friction when upleveling to a new capacity, as you are learning what it feels like to be that person you dream of. Growth comes from going into the unknown and taking baby steps.
