  • The Magic Of Rewiring Your Brain With Bob Doyle

    Have you heard about the TPT Quiz by Bob Doyle? Discover what type of wiring your brain has, how to transform your thinking, and then live your best life in this episode of the Breathe Love and Magic podcast.

    Bob Doyle from The Secret

    I am so excited to have the honor of interviewing Bob Doyle from The Secret fame! His people contacted me and I was surprised and thrilled to be part of his PR campaign.

    Back in 2006, the book The Secret was published and sold like wild-fire through the personal and spiritual development world. It was also made into a movie.

    This set off a trend about the Law of Attraction that made this Universal Law a household word and it seemed like everyone you knew put this energetic tool to work to manifest their deepest desires.

    While many have had outrageous success following this process, others struggled. Still more encountered spotty results. What was the secret to The Secret that made it so effective for some, but not everyone?

    Read more about using the Law of Attraction to find love.

    Who Do You Want To Be?

    Bob Doyle tackled the first big step right away. You need to know who the person is that you want to be. If you have a big dream about a different, better lifestyle, you need to start shifting into that person now. Who would you need to be to live that life?

    You can learn to be that person. Bob said it might be the hardest thing you ever do, but certainly the most worthwhile. When you live more authentically, you will be far more powerful and able to create your desires.

    When you achieve this, Doyle says the Law of Attraction takes over automatically and falls into place all on its own. In my mind, that means you will be in the flow of life and on your highest path. That’s so exciting!

    Why Bob Drifted from the Law of Attraction

    Over time, Bob realized that the Law of Attraction fell short too often. So, he shifted away from the purely mystical practice and learned about neuroplasticity and how to rewire your brain.

    He says our brains are wired from birth, but all too often that wiring ends up being sort of faulty. What happens is our beliefs that we accept as 100% truth, are actually keeping us stuck in place. This is why he has moved beyond The Secret.

    Everyone tells stories about their life. Unfortunately, those stories often keep us living small, drain our energy, and prevent the expansion we need. You may fully believe your stories, but that doesn’t make them true.

    Why I Stopped Telling Some Stories

    I can vouch for this myself and I talk about my experience with giving up one of my biggest stories during this interview. I had a corporate job that I hated.

    For me the environment was toxic and there were too many rude, disrespectful, and downright mean people. I often told a series of stories about my encounters with these arrogant types.

    Then one day I realized telling those stories didn’t make me happy or look good for that matter! Why was I even spending time on them? Then I asked myself what would be a better story to tell that would make me look and feel good?

    That was an incredibly empowering question and from that time forward, I stopped telling those awful stories. This is exactly what Bob is talking about but in an even bigger way.

    More on how I manifested the man of my dreams.

    Self-Directed Neuroplasticity Exercises

    For self-directed neuroplasticity exercises, Bob believes in practicing the thoughts you do want to dwell on. By rehearsing the stories you WANT to tell and LIVE, over and over again, they get into your subconscious mind and become your new truth.

    To get started and learn about your own transformational style, take the TPT quiz Bob Doyle has put together. This is one of my most inspiring episodes, so please take time to listen soon. Thanks!

  • Moon Phase Magic With Tracey Rampling Brown

    Learn about Moon Phase Magic with Moonologist, Tracey Rampling Brown in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast.

    The Beautiful Moon

    When you look into the night sky and the full moon is high above, have you ever noticed how you feel? Sort of awe-inspired if you ask me. I love the moon with it’s luminosity and pearl-essence. It’s so beautiful!

    That’s why I was SO excited to speak with Tracey Rampling Brown, who is a certified Moonologist extraordinaire. If there is something you want to know about the magical moon and it’s related manifesting powers, she’s the one to look to. She knows the manifesting techniques and the coinciding astrology which can really help.

    Moon Phase Magic

    Tracey and I had a fabulous conversation all about the moon. First, I wanted a better understanding about manifesting and using moon phase magic. I’ve done a lot of research and found conflicting strategies.

    One thing that confused me is the idea of focusing to manifesting just one thing at a time. I asked Tracey, if you choose one goal and set an intention on the new moon, but it doesn’t happen by the full moon, or the next new moon, what do you do then?

    Her answer cleared up my confusion! You can have several goals, of course. That’s because some goals are more long-term in nature and will take time to manifest. Keeping this idea in mind, you can have a short term goal, a three-month goal and a year long goal. Or whatever works for you.

    Now, if your short term goal doesn’t happen in the two weeks it takes for the moon to become full, maybe it needs 28 days or the complete moon cycle. And if it still doesn’t come to pass, you can simply choose to focus on that goal again.

    Learn to manifest love in this episode

    Steps for Every Moon Phase

    Here’s how to work with the moon in each phase of the moon’s cycle. When you do something every week during the four-week cycle, you stay in touch with your intention and goal. You can start any time but I’m going to begin with the new moon.

    New Moon Magic

    The new moon is like a blank slate waiting for you to create what you want. This is the time to get clear and plant seeds for what you hope to manifest.

    On the new moon, begin by clearing your energy. You might want to clear not only your physical body but also your home. You can use a smudge stick made of sage or Palo Santo wood to clear the air by going counter clockwise around your home, room by room.

    Then be sure to go back into each room clockwise with a prayer or happy song to put the good frequency back in. Don’t leave the space vacant after clearing – fill it with good vibes!

    Next, set your intentions for what you want to manifest. Then use any manifesting technique that suits you. Now you are on your way!

    First Quarter Moon Magic – Waxing

    A week later the energy is building or waxing, as the moon visibility grows night after night. With Moon Phase Magic, this is the perfect time to check in with yourself to make sure you are on plan.

    Maybe you got side-tracked by a big project at work or a new show on Netflix. No problem. Just reset your intention and start again. And if you’ve been doing your manifesting work all along, awesome!

    Full Moon Magic

    Now the energy has peaked and the moon is in it’s fullest phase. Big and round, it lights the night sky, sometimes revealing hidden secrets that are not always possible to see in other moon phases. But that beautiful moon lights the sky and the landscape, highlighting things you may not have noticed before.

    At it’s full power, the full moon is a perfect time to release what no longer serves you and let go of anything that has gotten in the way. Again clear your energy, take an Epsom salt bath, smudge, or write the whole story down and burn it.

    Listen to another episode about the magical moon.

    This is a powerful time to ask for forgiveness or forgive others, even if you do this only on the inner plane. Remember, “To err is human, to forgive is divine.” according to Alexander Pope.

    Some people choose to do some manifesting work now as well, using their Moon Phase Magic. But that is up to you. This is another thing that Tracey and I discussed and a point of confusion for many just starting out with their moon ceremonies.

    Third Quarter Moon – Waning

    The last quarter moon is a time when the energy is waning, as the moon shrinks to a crescent night by night and then becomes the new moon again, leaving the sky dark and mysterious. You may continue to release anything that comes to mind.

    The Rare Dark Moon

    April 2022 is very unusual as it has two new moons – the first was on April 1st and the second is on April 30th. Very uncommon in Moon Phase Magic, this occurs only every 33 months or so. It’s far more rare than the blue moon which is two full moons in a single month. Some also refer to this phenomenon as a double new moon.

    According to Tracey, this is extra secret sauce for manifesting! When combined with the eclipse that is also coming, your manifesting power is absolutely ginormous! This is perfect for your moon phase magic.

    That means you better get busy thinking about what you want to create and crystal clear on your intentions. The last thing you want is to end up manifesting something you didn’t really want because you were not properly focused or didn’t think it through all the way.

    Moon Manifestation Academy

    In addition, Tracey talked about her Moon Manifesting Academy which meets twice monthly to celebrate the new and full moon. It sounds incredible, providing support for your manifesting on a spiritual path. She also writes a 35 page guide for each month to give you all the insights you need.

    Tracey also has a free gift for my listeners – a free guide to manifesting with the moon! Get your copy now.

  • Shamanism And The Elemental Goddess With Ashley Renee

    In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, discover wisdom from a female shaman and the Elemental Goddess, Ashley Renee, as we discuss shamanic elements and healing, the power of voice, and even tattoos!

    Ashley Renee’s Healing Practice

    Ashley has studied a wide range of healing and shamanic methods and has combined them to create her own unique method for healing trauma. She is quick to point out that YOU actually do the healing, but she is skilled at guiding you along the path to reclaim your power.

    One method we discussed in detail is how using the voice frees emotions trapped in the body. From blood curdling screams to singing opera, you’d be surprised what can be released and healed in this way.

    (Ashley looks like an Elemental Goddess in the photo to the left don’t you think? Check out the ones below too.)

    Shamanic Elements

    She also does breath work and movement with clients, as well as shamanic drumming journeys. We spent quite a bit of time discussing the five shamanic elements. While I have heard about earth, wind, air, and water, ether was a new one for me!

    One of my favorite parts of this episode, was talking about the magic that happens in the eye of the storm. This is where you can be a wise observer and choose the life you want. When you can step into the observer role, this allows you to stop taking everything so personally. Beautiful.

    The Elemental Goddess

    Ashley has written the Elemental Goddess Guide Book which is part of her Elemental Goddess Master Series  and she has several ways to work with her from group shamanic journeys to weekend retreats.

    She does strike me as a bit Goddess-like and when you take a look at some of her photos, you can see her modeling experience comes in handy. Fabulous photos!

    Alchemizing the Energy

    She has a way of looking at life and the world through the eyes of a shaman, explaining how the energy works and flows. Her goal is to help clients transform their energy, to gain the benefits of living a well-balanced life and feeling safe within yourself.

    Working like an Elemental Goddess, she helps clients use the five elements to complete this alchemical process.

    Cross-Country in a Camper

    Recently, Ashley downsized from a three bedroom house to a camper, as part of her plan to travel around the United States. Her goal is to bring healing to places new to her and create connection. This seems very brave to me, a woman (and her cat) journeying cross-country.

    The idea of eliminating three-quarters of her possessions alone would be highly taxing for me! However, Ashley is extremely excited about this new phase of her life.

    Tattoos Combined with Ceremony

    Ashley has an incredible tattoo on her chest that is truly remarkable. Graceful lines that curve and cross form a “chest plate” as she calls it, reminding her of who she is.

    She talked about the experience of getting this tattoo from a Swedish tattoo artist, steeped in Nordic spiritual traditions. Shamanic drum music played while the work was done, creating a full and transformative experience.

    BIO

    Ashley Renee, The Elemental Embodiment Coach helps guide you back to a well balanced life through unique journeys using tools and techniques that helped her overcome obstacles of life. These are practices you can use even during a demanding and busy schedule.

    The creator of a truly unique program, Ashley combines many therapies and coaching backgrounds, to create a space of healing and awareness for workshop or retreat attendees, or who work with her in one-on-one journeys.

    Her mission here on Earth is to create a Safe Space, Remind others how to LOVE through the LOSS and to BE the CENTER in the CHAOS. Ashley is here to remind you that you are safe to be in your body and safe to feel what is coming up for you.

    She’s been a Holistic Wellness Practitioner for 11 years, studied yoga for 16 years, including 12 years teaching. Ashley has 11 years experience in fascial release, the effects of trauma on the brain and the nervous system, and how to heal those imbalances using the five elements of nature.

    • Dating A Narcissist? Advice For Women With Susan Ortolano

      In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, we talk about dating a narcissist and how women who are HSP, empaths and spiritually minded tend to attract them. Susan Ortolano finally clears up why that happens and what you can do about it.

      Introducing Susan Ortolano

      My guest Susan is an Intuitive Life and Relationship Coach with serious credentials and vast wisdom that she shares generously. Between her masters in spiritual psychology and all the metaphysical tools she uses, she can help you understand what’s going on and how to make better choices.

      Narcissistic Men and Relationships

      Susan is an expert on dating a narcissist and relationships with this type of man. That’s because she has experience herself, having survived her own marriage and divorce.

      This relationship from her past provided her with a deep understanding of how women end up in these gut-wrenching and devastating relationships.

      After working through her own healing, she is now happily married to a wonderful man for the last 21 years. Go Susan! Epic, lasting love is completely possible.

      Toxic Relationships

      Her firsthand knowledge about toxic relationships with a self-centered man provides keen insights for listeners that are incredibly wise and highly insightful.

      I was surprised that highly sensitive, spiritually-minded women, who are often empathic too, are naturally attracted to these men. Apparently, they are like powerful magnets. Yes, this type of person characterized by outrageous bravado, is covering up a very fragile ego.

      She explains why this is true and how she’s seen this happening with her clients over and over. Don’t blame yourself if this is like your story. The good news is she can teach you how to spot a man like this to avoid dating a narcissist. That’s one of Susan’s specialties!

      Signs of a Modern Narcissist
      1. Most often attractive, charming, intelligent, and maybe even clever.
      2. Seems ideal – initially few flaws show as you are dazzled, until you realize that not listening, controlling behavior, and only talking about what interests him are huge deficiencies.
      3. Changes the subject or doesn’t answer uncomfortable, personal questions that reflect poorly on him because they hate confrontation.
      4. May order for you in a restaurant, but rarely asks what you would prefer.
      5. Can’t accept any constructive criticism or look within to see where they are at cause in a situation.
      6. Has no ability for empathy or putting himself in anyone else’s shoes, so chances are he can’t understand where you are coming from. If it’s about you, then it’s not about him.
      7. Will never apologize or say he’s sorry or at fault, in any sort of genuine, heart-felt way.
      8. Sees you merely as a reflection of himself – what he wants, needs or thinks. If you go along with everything and have no needs of your own, you’ll be fine – LOL.
      9. More details on spotting a narcissist (who could be male or female)

        Dating Is Not Being in a Relationship

        We also talked quite a bit about how dating is not the same as being in a relationship. Yet, many women after just a few dates, focus on a man they barely know due to chemistry and other reasons. Chemistry can lead you astray because it is not an indication of compatibility beyond attraction.

        However, if you start to think of dating as a sorting process to find the man who has the most potential as a long-term mate, your chances of creating a lasting relationship improve greatly.

        This is why it’s smart to extend the dating process and meet lots of men, before you launch into a relationship and commitment to anyone. Then dating a narcissist will not be a concern. The men you date will have more of a chance to show their true colors.

        Dating Affects Your Chakras

        Ortolano also works with your chakra system, to clear any blocks or sluggish energy. You want to be sure you are well aligned and that everything is working well for greater balance. She mentioned how her first marriage affected her own chakras.

        Plus, there’s some discussion about learning how to use your intuition when meeting new men. I revealed one of my attempts years ago to do this on a date and why I failed miserably!

        This is an incredibly useful assessment that helps you see where you might be getting stuck and what you can do differently, so don’t hesitate to download your copy right now!

        I’m excited about this episode which was a lot of fun. Susan and I connected on dating topics and life experience, sharing some laughs and ultimately our expert relationship wisdom. Enjoy!

      10. The Magic of Cardology, Intuition, & The Camino With Laura Haehl

        Have you heard about Cardology or the Cardology birthday chart? In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, my guest Laura Haehl tells us all about Cardology.

        The Cardology Chart

        Laura explains in detail where this type of card reading came from which uses a regular deck of cards. It’s super old – ancient like Atlantis supposedly.

        There are different types of readings possible, creating a Cardology chart and she divulges how she puts this mystical method to work to help clients learn about themselves.

        With the Cardology birthday chart you get insights into your own life, including your strengths and life lessons. Cardology compatibility offers a way to delve into your relationships as well, from a wider viewpoint regarding the lessons you are working on with a partner.

        Plus, the method also relies on astrology and numerology, as Laura discussed cards that relate to Jupiter, Mercury, and even Saturn. The planets give you details on your life lessons, as do the numbers.

        Curious about Galactic Astrology? Listen to this episode.

        How Laura Developed Her Intuition

        We also covered a lot about her work using intuition and the course she is teaching this year. The part that totally captured my attention was how she talked about the beach and intuition.

        Being such a beach girl, I couldn’t wait to hear more and she explains how this puts you in a loving energy which is connected to the ocean and sea of consciousness.

        Here’s another podcast about intuition.

        Walking The Camino in Spain

        Last but not least, Laura told her story of walking The Camino, a spiritual path that attracts pilgrims from around the world.

        In fact, she’s taking a group in September 2022, so listen in if this is something you’ve been thinking about. She says The Camino calls to you and then you know it’s time to walk.

        Shirley MacLaine wrote a book about walking The Camino, a spiritual journey filled with challenges and personal revelations. And Laura told me there’s a movie called The Way with Martin Sheen that is really good on this topic.

        For her trip, Laura and her partner Candy, are taking a group providing an easier way that doesn’t require camping or much hardship beyond walking the 15 miles daily.

        She says having reduced your decisions to just what to wear and what to eat (vs. the 35,000 daily decisions we make!), completely frees up your mind to let your intuition blossom. The duo give participants helpful and fun exercises to further facilitate your intuitive development.

        What I really enjoyed about our conversation is how down-to-earth and practical Laura is, which I totally relate to. And it turns out we are Cardology Chart card sisters since we share the same number. She revealed this after the recording ended!

        BIO – Laura Haehl

        Laura Haehl is an intuitive guide, yoga instructor, Reiki master and hypnosis practitioner. She loves to help people access and trust their intuition, specifically by learning to make intuitive decisions. No more pro and con lists. No more looking at all the possibilities.

        Instead, Laura wants to help you learn to access your own inner guru so you can feel confident taking your next steps. She also has a passion for Cardology chart readings (the astrology and numerology of the playing cards).

      11. The Meaning Of Luck Of The Irish – Happy St. Patrick’s Day

        Ever wonder what the meaning of Luck of the Irish is all about? In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I explore the Luck of Irish and then did a deeper dive to find out if luck is real or imaginary.

        The Definition of Luck

        First, I checked with Wikipedia to see how they define luck. “Luck is the phenomenon and belief that defines the experience of notably positive, negative, or improbable events.”

        Then I read an article in Psychology Today magazine that explained how believing in luck serves a useful function in your life. It helps you cope emotionally with chance events like a natural disaster or car accident.

        So, if your home is ruined by a storm, but you and your family are okay, then you are lucky. Another example is a bad car accident. If you survived or came away unharmed, that’s definitely a reason to think you’re lucky.

        Turns out believing in luck can create a greater sense of optimism about circumstances beyond your control, which much of life really is.

        Before I get into the meaning of luck of the Irish, I want to learn more about how scientists now view what luck is about.

        Luck Is Related to Risk and Chance

        The BBC had a piece on this topic that stated, “Luck is a really interesting aspect of risk and chance.” Cambridge University’s Dr. Mike Aitken says research suggests people who think of themselves as lucky actually are lucky. This is because they are willing to take more risk and jump at opportunities.

        A Canadian study lead to creating a “Luck Scale”. This was intended to debunk the idea that belief in luck is related to a person’s self-esteem and life satisfaction.

        But, they discovered people who believe they are naturally lucky tended to be more optimistic about future success. This was especially true after a lucky event. In other words, a “Lucky Break” makes people feel more confident!

        Even Forbes Magazine had an article about how luck impacts your success, and they also suggested that it sure does make a difference.

        Luck Plays a Real Role in Success

        Last but not least, I read a fascinating article from Scientific American which gathered data from several sources about luck. Surprisingly, it became obvious that luck and opportunity play a far greater role in success than originally anticipated.

        A group of Italian scientists created a success model to simulate the factors of life. This included circumstances, personality characteristics, and opportunities, discovering that luck plays a big role.

        Most people assume success is a result of intelligence, talent, perseverance, and optimism among other qualities. Yet, many smart, talented people are not the ones who become successful.

        So, yes, luck is real and it sure does matter!

        The Meaning of Luck of the Irish

        I also explored the meaning of “Luck of the Irish.” There are two different schools of thought on this.

        Turns out the phrase “The luck of the Irish,” came from the USA in the 1800s during the California gold rush. Apparently, many of the miners who hit it big were Irish.

        The other area of Irish luck has to do with leprechauns, the pot of gold and the fairy folk of Ireland. They are also called Tuatha de Danann (pronounce Two-a day).

        I can’t say as I’ve met any leprechauns, but I have seen a fairy tree when I visited Ireland. Looking out the window of my tour bus, I saw a tree with lots of branches spreading out wide, many close to the ground were filled with colorful ribbons tied all over them, waving in the breeze.

        The ribbons represent peoples’ prayers and wishes, tied there hoping the fairies will grant them or bring them good luck. Reading more about it, according to traditional Irish folklore, when you see a Hawthorn tree in the middle of a field or by the side of the road, as I did, it is called a fairy tree.

        Fairy Trees Are Portals to the Fae

        This is considered to be a gateway or portal between two worlds – the mortal humans and the magical world of faeries, also called the Fay (Fae). Going down to the roots connects the energy to the magical places where the fairy folk reside.

        Today, we can spot fairy trees dotting the countryside, often at ancient pagan and holy sites. For example, there are fairy trees near the Hill of Tara, at St. Brigid’s Well, and Killary Harbor.

        The Irish take their legends seriously, especially about the fairy folk. As magical beings, they can grant good fortune or lay a curse on you. So, best not do anything to remove a fairy tree.

        Apparently, the DeLorean car factory was built on a site where they took known fairy trees down and the company failed miserably years later.

        So, for today’s meditative journey to tap into the luck of the Irish, we will tread with respect as we visit this magical land.

        Meditation to Connect with Luck of the Irish

        Given all this talk about how luck is real, I thought it would be helpful to know the meaning of Luck of the Irish and connect with it given St. Patrick’s Day is here. Of course, you can raise your luck any time of year!

        This is a fun visualization where you’ll make a wish and align your chakras to be open to luck. Enjoy the meditation and your new found or improved good luck. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

      13. The Law of Attraction For Love & The Magic of Zehra Mahoon

        Have you found the right partner using the Law of Attraction for love? Discover the fine tuning you need to make this tool work for you.

        In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I speak with Zehra Mahoon about the Law of Attraction for love, weight loss, and business. A Manifesting Expert, Zehra broke free from massive debt to become a property owner and business success.

        She discovered how LOA works through her own life journey and explains that it was not a quick turnaround. The process takes time, focus, and perseverance. Zehra now shares her experience with everyone who will listen. Her generous spirit is clear.

        Fine Tune the Law of Attraction for Love

        My guest reveals the fine tuning of how to best use the most popular manifesting tool and opened my eyes to aspects I had not thought about before. It’s always great when you can learn something new!

        There is a lot more to manifesting than just writing out your affirmations 55 times for 5 days or some of these other tricks that don’t really work. What matters most is what you are thinking about the rest of the day.

        Where does your mind wander off to and what are you broadcasting while you are just going through your day?

        Reprogram Your Mind

        You need to excavate for belief systems that are in conflict for what you most desire. Zehra talks about reprograming yourself in order for the Law of Attraction for love, weight loss or business success to actually to work for you.

        Most essential, is to seek supportive evidence of what you want, rather than collecting data proving nothing is happening, or that your desires will never be fulfilled.

        Surprisingly, if you are not fully aligned with your desire, and have internal conflicts and dialog, that can easily stop you in your tracks. You must get in touch with your beliefs, so they don’t prevent you from attracting all that you dream of.

        Clarity and focus can be the key to proper manifesting. Then you have to let it go and work on the feeling – that is what you are going for. If you were to manifest what you most want, how would that feel? That is your goal!

        Zehra’s Success Stories

        Zehra shares a few clients stories that are truly inspiring about how they shifted their lives using the Law of Attraction for love and more. We both have successfully used the tool and have helped our clients to manifest love and their heart’s desires.

        Talking with Zehra was so uplifting and wonderful. Listen in when you get a chance to take advantage of her special kind of magic. She is warm, enthusiastic, and quite masterful.

        BIO – Zehra Mahoon

      14. Healing Within & The Magic of Alison Held Anderson

        Has your energy ever been drained by looking at social media and the surprising amount of negativity found there? Get easy tips to lift your vibe quickly and so much more in this episode.

        Lift Your Energy By Healing Within

        In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I speak with my friend Alison Held Anderson who calls herself the Healing Within Illuminator. (I just love that!)

        The conversation covers a wide range of topics including dealing with negativity in social media and taking a look at what you are broadcasting into the Universe.

        I don’t know about you, but even though I avoid listening to the news, I bump into low vibe commentary everywhere. For me, that has even been on LinkedIn, a platform for professionals which has been disheartening.

        To stay balanced, we shared a few powerful and quick energy shift methods that work like a charm to help you stay elevated. These are techniques we actually use ourselves.

        Alison discusses trends she has seen in her healing clients recently in both men and women. She says she’s noticed that the divine masculine and feminine energy has been more present.

        Activations Help Accommodate Shifting Energies

        She also talks about her channeling and that she has been offering energy “Activations” for the past couple of years which are free to people on her newsletter list. (So be sure to sign up on her website HealthfulDirection.com)

        Plus, we tackle the topic of rejection in business and dating and I talked about some trends I’ve seen within midlife men. Then we offered tips to handle hearing the word “No.” (I’ve certainly heard that in life and business more than I’d like to admit.)

        There’s a lot going on in the world today  and sometimes it feels a little out of control or a bit crazy. Alison and I covered a lot of ground in this episode, but all with a light touch and plenty of hope.

        There are a number of ways to be in your own bubble of good vibes, if that is what you choose to do. So much of your experience is actually related to the choices you make and what you decide to focus on.

        Talking with Alison is always a pleasure, uplifting, and great listening as well.

        BIO

        Alison Held Anderson is the Healing Within Illuminator who has successfully worked with 1000s of clients on their healing journey. She has a Master of Science in Human Nutrition, and is a Certified Health Coach. She’s also done Professional training in Functional and Clinical Nutrition with Dr. Liz Lipski.

        • Unity Field Healing
        • Spiritual Freedom Technique
        • Healing from The Body Level Up
        • And others which are now incorporated into her unique process.
        • Fun Facts about Alison

          Alison has always loved food. Over the years she has cleared her food allergies to enjoy favorites that she had previously developed sensitivities to. She is an avid outdoor enthusiast skiing, hiking including Machu Pichu, and playing tennis.

          Alison walks her talk. Having shifted her own limiting beliefs to experience a level of freedom, she’d love everyone to enjoy that.

          I’ve interviewed Alison before, so you can listen to our previous conversation about how to reap the rewards of being a rebel and the magic of healing within here.
