Coaching, Cocktails, & Conversations

IT'S A THROWBACK OF ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE EPISODES - This one was a juicy one!!

Who said that the stigmas placed on me will define who I am?  Who said that I (or you) must walk, talk, & behave in the stigmas that have been handed down for generations? Not me?  In today's episode, I walk you through 5 strategies of how to dismantle generational stigmas.  I share how to P.O.U.N.D. those stigmas, while also bringing yourself to the carpet. 

It's time to challenge ourselves with the stigmas that we are knowingly or unknowingly perpetuating and passing down and around.  Whew!! This episode is a good one!  The affirmation that kicks us off is I am open , ready, & willing to unlock the endless possibilities within me. Are you?  Grab your affirmation deck at https://www.lolitawalker.com/shop 

On this 48th episode (where we are throwing back to our11th episode), Clinical Therapist and Cannabis Expert, Paulette Simone Smith, talks to us about how stigmas surrounding cannabis have reset the foundation of her growing business AND have led to her pursuing a Master's Degree in Cannabis Science & Therapeutics.  Pretty cool right?  We talk everything from education, community, healing, and advocacy, to the differences between coaching and therapy, to the sheer value of sharing and owning your own story...your own journey story!  You remember that from episode 10?  Our deep discussion will shift your thinking, of not only stigmas as a whole, but will also challenge those that you may still hold, particularly around cannabis. 

In this episode's coaching (minute 5.07), the soul-work (minute 8.34) is P.O.U.N.D.ing on the chest in your corner, full of dust, that holds the stigmas you have either heard, attached to others, or have been attached to you.  It's time to shake them up and dismantle them one by one.  Are you ready?  During cocktails (minute 15.02), we give a cheers to our small wins and the nuggets that you pulled away and then in conversations (minute 18.02), Paulette drops some MAJOR nuggets that will get you thinking and acting in a more empowered and educated kinda way!  She aims to shift your thinking on all things cannabis..

WHAT A POWER EPISODE! Emily Lyons is beyond a 7-8 figure business maker and shaker! She is a thought leader, who is changing the world, one person at a time.  Fierce love is at the base of her foundation and is the core to which she navigates the world.  It's driven by the perspective that has been shaped from the experiences throughout her life. 

Sometimes you meet people who touch you and you simply don't know why.  When you listen to Emily's story, you will sit up straight, adjust your crown and remember that you are a warrior!  You are a lion (or lioness)!  Welcome to a taste of her Lyons Den! If your life was a movie, would you say that at the end of it, you bossed up and changed your life?  My guest today has and I am so thrilled to share her with each of you who chose to pull up a chair to my virtual kitchen table for some good ole fashioned Coaching, Cocktails & Conversations. Today, Emily and I talk, asking for help when people turn away, judgement, circumstances, comparison, distraction, failure, lack of support, resilience and so much more.

This is a reminder that you don't know someone's story.  What if this was your season to simply pause and listen.  What if this was your season to boss up and change your life?  Listen in and be present with the possibilities that are available to you.  Get inspired then do the work.  I am rooting for you.

When Hollywood Actresses join Lolita for comedy and life lessons around turning tragic into magic, it's a combination that you simply don't want to miss.  Far too often, we sit in our tragic moments, but what if the three of us had the power to champion you, as you turn your tragic into magic?  Hmmm, I invite you to listen in.

I leave you with 5 considerations of how to do just that.  In this episode, Kelly allows her vulnerability to pour out, as she talks of of her best friend, Lindsay Hawley (https://www.instagram.com/linzhawley).  When Lindsay left this earth, by way of suicide, it was one of Kelly's most tragic moments.  She talks how, even in that extreme low, she saw and experienced magic.  Cat Ce leaves us with nuggets and gems that will power you where you are. 

Grab your pen and pad and listen in, as they even chat how a social app has allowed them to partner with a few power players to help others get paid for turning their life story into a movie.  It's amazing how powerful we are when we leverage the power of our creativity, our gifts, our words and our magic.
