Chloe Chloe CHLOE! Wow, I was shook by the profundity of this episode and the wisdom that came forth. Chloe Elgar and I "accidentally" met (let's be clear, there are no accidents), 3 years ago at a writing workshop with the one and only Elizabeth Gilbert. Little did I know that not only would I start writing like a wild woman because of said workshop, but I would meet a soul sister there as a parting gift! We have stayed in touch via social media ever since, and our paths continue to align in really beautiful and magnificent ways. You my darling will be blown away by her truth, her clarity, her energetically potent healing abilities, and absolutely.. her read of me, eeeeeee!

What we cover in this episode:

* Resistance, what it is and how to get over it.

* Intuition, what is it, and what's blocking it.

*Daily practices to get clear and intentional.

*Books, teachers, suggestions to get your learn on.

* Purpose, what is it?

*Soul growth, what is it?

*SOOOO MUCH MORE.

Alright alright, I know I say it all the time, but THIS episode rocked my socks.  Ahem, not to mention, it was rather vulnerable for me, because Mark cracked me right open, and called me out on some of MY patterns.  Whoa.  Mark, is magnificent, and if you're looking to cultivate meaningful relationships in your life (which um... who isn't) this episode is 100% for you. 

What we discuss:

* How presence is imperative to creating love

* Flow states, and how to get there

* The truth about our evolutionary drives, vs.  what we want (aka reactivity)

* Why we are so disconnected, and how to reconnect

* When the time is right for creating the love

* Mr. /Miss "Right" Vs. Mr./Miss "Right Now"

* What are the blocks to LOVE and how we can get through it

SO SO SO MUCH MORE!

Wow wow wow WOW, Kelsey knows how to drop all sorts of truth bombs in a meaningful, beautiful, and digestible way!  We touch on all the goods, love: romantic, self, familial.  Breakups, woof, but we've all done it.  Self care. Self development.  Self expression, and so much more. 

Basically if you want to feel good, if you want to giggle and grow in the process, this episode is for you!

If we are unable to love ourselves, how can we possibly love anyone or anything else to the fullest potential of the human experience? Radical Self Love, developed by this powerful creature, is the journey of discovering and understanding the root and true essence of love. It is the process of learning to love yourself in the most on purpose way.

A trip to Kelsey Grant land is a most expressive adventure full of sparkles, rainbows, unicorns and some serious heart blasting, paradigm shifting, information and experiences. She doesn’t take life too seriously and encourages all  peeps to lighten up a little and enjoy this ride called life. There is a time to be serious and a time to play. Most of us are really good at being serious and need a little inspiration and reminder of what it means to play in these adult bodies, rock out a life on purpose and vibe in bliss as often as we possibly can.

Kelsey has a BA in Sociology, Gender and Sexuality. Has rocked extensive personal development and coaching training through Landmark Education, a current student of A Course in Miracles, an intuitive healer, has trained and completed courses with leaders such as Bob Proctor, Mary Morrissey, Abraham Hicks, Gabby Bernstein, Kyle Cease, Doreen Virtue, Brad Morris, Caroline Myss, Byron Katie, Wayne Dyer and countless others. For the past 6 years she has been writing, leading and facilitating women’s sacred circles, Goddess Workshops and Sacred Feminine Courses. She loves learning and sharing ancient wisdom with those who are open to the message.

So it's time, let's sit back relax and get INformation...
