ALIVE with Jessica Schiller: Heal Your Inner Child + Ancestral Trauma

I am honored today to share with you my kindred spirit, Milan Bush. I connected with her over 5 years ago, and while we haven't connected on a regular basis, every time I have touched her presence, she radiates PURE GOLD.

Milan Bush is the Founder + Visionary of Honoring Black Stories.

Honoring Black Stories was started in 2020 when Entrepreneur Milan Bush saw the need to highlight the empowering and positive stories in Midway’s Black community. Honoring Black Stories is currently the only Black owned business in Midway.

Honoring Black Stories was inspired by the lack of common knowledge regarding the contributions made to the commonwealth by Black Americans in Midway, KY. Bridging the gap of information by providing educational tours and contents, as well as giving back to the community in real-time ensures preservation for the future.

Honoring Black Stories is a place to learn and be heard. We wanted a way to share those mostly forgotten but so important narratives.

Honoring Black stories is a place where we bring black experience to life. By sharing accounts, we breathe life not into histories but into people and community.

In this episode, Milan and I discuss:

1. What inspired her journey to create Honoring Black Stories?
2. How has this evolved over time, what fuels your vision that brought this beautiful cause to life?
3. What does it mean to share your gifts and amplify black voices?
4. What impact has Honoring Black Voices had in your local community, and where do you see this mission blossoming into a Global force in elevating black stories?

Milan's Book Recommendation:

1. Freedom Bound: Law, Labor, and Civic Identity in Colonizing English America 
2. The Scholar: A Novel 
3. The Bible + how we can relate this our modern day world.

In the world of social media, being an "influencer" seems like all the rage.  Acceptance and love comes in the form of likes, followers, and engagement stats. Something I've learned in my 6+ years of running an online biz is that success can come from influence, but influence alone will not increase income, and above all, it should be about true fulfillment and LOVE for the work you do. 

In this episode, uncover my key secrets to success organically through "influence" from a heart space, and how to take these lofty concepts and come ALIVE with tangible tools + ideas to explore.

We dive deep into how to show up on social consistently with courage, cultivating self-acceptance by loving yourself even when your life or biz is NOT ideal, and radiating pure LOVE in your leadership. 

If you lived from a place of love, what would that look like? If you lead from a place of love, what would be different than it is today?

Come ALIVE with me to explore the organic connection in this episode!

How do you have faith when finances are low, you're in dire straits... you look at your bank account, and you don't know how you will make rent this month? 

Or as an entrepreneur, how can you continue to take risks, emotionally + financially when you have to support your family? 

With 2020 behind us, I wanted to kick off 2021 on a HIGH note with my first special guest on the show, my husband, Ryan Silverman, who will join me in sharing our story of how I stepped away from 6-figures in Silicon Valley with NOTHING but faith, and enough money to live on for a few months. 

What kept us going, despite the odds, financially, and from the fears projected from our family + friends? 

How did Ryan's emotional support help fuel the first year of my business to set the stage for future success?

And how can you keep the FAITH when you don't see beyond the boundaries life continues to throw your way as an online business owner?

Ryan and I uncover our secrets through story, and 3 tangible tips to inspire you to take action today in shifting your money story to start or FUEL your biz growth in 2021 and beyond! 

Learn how Ryan was inspired to "Arrigato your Money" which comes from Ken Honda's theory on Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money. 

Ryan even has a surprise for you by sharing his recording of the Mode Ani Morning Song for you to download here! 

Without the foundation of what we share on today's show, this podcast would never have been possible.

In the most engaged post in my FB community of 2020, I asked, “Let’s start a thread of good things that happened to you in 2020?” 

In a year that has brought us more panic at times than any sense of joy, I was taken back by the LOVE that poured through this post. This love brought to light the first unspoken miracle of 2020, that of perspective. 

Each day, YOU get to choose your perspective, the lens with which you see the world, your life, and how you relate to the chaos around you.

This episode unlocks a fresh perspective to close out 2020 to find the “catalyst” from these challenges…to ask yourself 3 powerful questions that will not only help you look back, but move forward with a guided sense of HOPE for 2021. 

1. How have you felt uprooted this year?
2. What was this taught you about yourself?
3. Knowing this, what will you bring into 2021? 

Tune in to learn more about the concept of Kensho, which in Japanese and Zen traditions translates to Ken, which means “seeing, and sho, which is “Nature” which is cultivated from a place of suffering, challenges, and pain that pushes you to find the passion within your pain. It is our Soul’s way of calling on you to grow. 

As I always say, your pain is your passion. It’s time to find out why. 

Let your passions come ALIVE as we reflect back on 2020 together, and bring light to a dawn rising in 2021!

Do you trust yourself? Are you guided by your own inner voice, or constantly stuck in the spiral of social media, and outside influences to feel like yourself?

This episode opens the door to this inner conversation. To claim yourself as the "expert", and stop seeking validation by consuming MORE information which often leaves you with more questions than answers.

Especially in the chaos we are all experiencing as a collective, it's no wonder you feel SUCKED IN! #noshame

What if you took that time you spend soaking hours on social media, and carved out more time for stillness, to hear the whispers within your Soul. To do more of what YOU want, and less of what you feel obligated to do.

If a thought is constantly speaking to you, that is a SIGN. Are you listening?

What is your true self trying to say? How could you give your inner voice more grace + space to breathe?

Tune in to unravel the magic, and start listening to yourself.

If you feel yourself consumed by racing thoughts + crave more stillness, this episode will ignite your path to healing.

To help you understand that you are NOT ALONE in this, and feel solace in the normalization of anxiety, depression, and all forms of mental + physical ailments that spiral out of the anxious or depressed mind.

 Collectively, we all feel this growing epidemic of mental health. Whatever you felt before this pandemic, is now amplified....if you were already anxious, stressed, depressed, high energy, or even abundantly joyous, 2020 has shown all of us our shadow side.

Social media being the #1 trigger to program your subconscious mind which further feeds our existing addictions...I offer you a way out with this free 30-day plan to "Simplify Your Social".

This episode will lighten your spirit to let you know that there is much GOLD within these shadows, and that you don't have to shun, shame, or feel stigma around these feelings anymore.

Anxiety can be your answer.

I invite you to stay curious as you soak in this episode to know "it's part of nature to hold a bit of pain"....as in the beautiful words of musician, Trevor Hall.
