Align and Expand

Season one wrap up, say what?!

Changes are coming so it's time to wrap this season up in a nice little bow and send it on its way! 

In today's solo episode with Loren, she shares why she is wrapping up season one when seasons were not even in her podcast plan.

Loren chats about the importance of allowing ourselves to pivot when things are feeling restrictive and unaligned in our business. She also dives into why she is pivoting her path to allow for more expansion.

Expect to hear about the changes you will be seeing so you don't miss a beat when season 2 ramps up really soon.

Tune in to hear a personal story from Loren about what her life was like a year ago based on a journal entry she found compared to what her life is like now. Huge quantum leaps were made like making $35 for her first paid job as a photographer one year ago to just signing her first almost FIVE figure contract.

Oh, today is a fun episode friend! Episode 27 is a listener success story where Loren chats with Sandra from the food blog She's Not Cookin about how she realized her mindset was the final piece of the puzzle. 

Once Sandra started reapplying things she already knew and all the things she learned from listening to the podcast she quickly saw her goals being met, like reaching Mediavine just a few months of her one-year blogging anniversary.

Hear Sandra's journey and biggest mindset takeaways that have taken her on a path of joy, freedom and abundance!

Sandra Flegg is a wife, mom to twin 15-year-old boys, and a full-time food blogger.

Her food blog journey began in May, 2020.  In July 2021, she achieved one of her goals and was accepted to the Mediavine Ad Network. In her business and personal life, Sandra uses a positive mindset to overcome obstacles and achieve her goals and personal satisfaction.

I have a secret.  I don't think it's wrong to work for free, and today my friend, fellow entrepreneur, and business coach Jennifer Hulley and I dive into why it's actually okay to work for free.

This is not a popular opinion. Or rather, this is not an opinion that is talked about or shared as much, but I promise it is just as powerful.

You see, creating a business that is authentic to you means you get to decide if working for free is right for you, not someone else and their opinion.  Opening up to an abundant mindset deeply trusting that money flows to you always and eliminating fear when it comes to making an informed decision about working for free.

Carefully choosing what you consume for your mindset is important, and strict rules like never work for free, are not expansive, they are restricting and shaming. If this has you curious to hear more, tune in to hear more about how working for free might be the right move for you, and what to think about as you make the decision.

Today Loren is chatting with business coach Jennifer Hulley about how you can create an energetically sustainable solopreneur business. 

Here's what you can expect to learn:

• Creating an energetically sustainable business
• How the definition of a "sustainable business" will vary for each solopreneur

How to Create a Blog Business Plan

Affirmations are a powerful tool to help you reprogram your subconscious mind. In this guided affirmation audio we will focus on goal setting and success. You can do this as a meditation, or simply listen while you are driving or walking. 

Morning time can be one of the most powerful times to practice affirmations to make a big shift in your mindset. The more often you practice affirmations the quicker your subconscious mind starts to believe them. 

Be sure to allow yourself to really feel the emotions of success while you practice these affirmations.

Don't miss my free webinar! FREE EFT Webinar! August 19 EFT for Imposter Syndrome

Finding Human Design is like someone handing you a blueprint of who are and how you energetically function the best. For me, when I learned about Human Design I felt like I finally gave myself permission to accept my perceived "flaws". Because what I perceived as a flaw was actually how I am DESIGNED to be. 

It is liberating to learn ways for you to run your business that align with who you are on an energetic level. You are unique, you are different. That means that you are not meant to make decisions like someone else, have the same energy as someone else, or even have the same way you achieve success. 

Today we are talking to Kehla Guimond, a spiritual mindset coach, and she takes us through a Human Design Body Graph, sharing everything we need to know about the basics of Human Design. 

Leave behind societal expectations of the " should be doings", let go of the conditioning that has caused you to move away from your unique design and step into your power. 

In today's episode you will learn: 

• 5 Types in HD
• Signature Theme
• Authorities and Strategies
• Not-Self theme
• Energy Centers
• How to find what works best for you in HD
• Strengthening your intuition with HD
• Stay in your own lane and gain confidence in your decisions
• The best way for you to make decisions

If you are anything like me then you have probably gone back and forth (at least a little bit) on what your niche should be. 

And if you haven't done a 180 in your blog as I have, I think it's safe to say you have at least wondered if you are "niched down enough" or if there is even room for you in the niche your food blog is in. 

Today I am talking to Kimberly Cauti from Pretty Delicious Life and we chat about all things niche. 

This conversation was so powerful it was hard to reign in all the hot topics we cover regarding niche as a food blogger. 

From not letting your ego talk you out of what you truly want to talk about all the way to how to handle feeling not special enough for a story that stands out. 

In this episode you will learn:

• Not being scared to be who you are while identifying your niche and speaking to your audience.
• How to not talk yourself out of your authentic story
• How to identify your niche based on your story even if you haven't had a "struggle"
• What to do if your top traffic recipe doesn't align with the niche you want
• Be creative
• Finding a balance between creativity and making smart business decisions
• Kim's opinion on how far down you should niche and if you need to do it right away and if you can pigeonhole yourself with a super strict niche
• How your lifestyle can be your niche
• Your ideas and creativity are unique and deserved to be shared and not losing sight by focusing on numbers
• Remembering why chose to start blogging in the first place
• Not to be afraid of being a beginner and making a new niche with a  new skill
• Kim's top 3 mindset hacks for creating a successful business
• Being gentle with yourself if your goals change

Here is what you can expect to learn:

• What is cycle syncing
• What happens in each phase of the cycle hormone wise, and how that affects our energy
• How to make each phase of the cycle work for your business
• How to harness our natural powers to create an environment that we thrive in
