Have you ever felt a mysterious pull towards change, but something just keeps holding you back? Gabrielle Pimstone, an energy master and coach, joins me to unravel this enigma and guide you through the transformative power of embracing life's transitions. Gabrielle's journey from the high-pressure corporate maze to becoming a beacon for those seeking change is nothing short of extraordinary. Together, we tackle the myth that humans are resistant to change and celebrate the potential that lies within us to evolve at any stage of life.

Imagine if you could identify the invisible hurdles that dampen your daily energy and remove them for good. In this episode, we discuss the concept of energetic blocks – those repeating patterns that can unconsciously dictate the course of our finances, relationships, and overall well-being. We'll walk you through the significance of inner child work and the impact of our language on our self-perception. With Gabrielle's expert strategies, you'll gain insights into clearing these blocks, paving the way for profound healing and personal growth.

Finally, we delve into the riveting world of chakras, focusing on how imbalances in our heart, throat, and solar plexus chakras can lead to self-sabotage. Whether you're new to chakras or well-versed in energy work, you'll find valuable wisdom here.

Plus, here is an invitation to our listeners to join a 28-day healing program designed to release deep-seated blocks with Gabrielle.

In today’s episode our focus is on helping leaders and shaping organizational strategies with coaching.

I am joined by my guest  Angie Alexander, a Professional Engineer, Leadership & Team Effectiveness Consultant, Speaker and a Certified Mental Fitness Coach.

 After over 20 years in the oil and gas industry in Alberta, she realized that her technical background combined with her people-oriented approach to working with leaders and their teams was her superpower! She loves nothing more than to support, encourage, lift up and help people be their best professional selves!

She is an empathetic coach and facilitator who loves to support technical professionals, leaders and teams work better together. She has skills in leadership development, mental fitness coaching, organizational effectiveness, facilitation, process design & improvement, change management and project management. She possesses a passion for bringing teams together to work more effectively, make better decisions, be more innovative and think more strategically.

Angie shares what has contributed to her success as a coach:

• Innate curiosity about people
• Effective communication skills
• Humility and willingness to learn

She believes that coaching should not be seen as a remedy solely for underperformers or just for top executives. Angie sees her role as helping people understand that anyone can benefit from coaching. Her engineering background gives her credibility, especially when discussing complex concepts like rewiring neural pathways, which helps in establishing initial trust with clients.

We chat about dealing with the Judge Voice and the accomplice saboteurs, along with their impact on your mental fitness.

Your internal "judge" frequently undermines your confidence, telling you that you're not smart or successful enough and this voice can be quite loud.

She grew up in Newport Beach, California and fell in love with and married a fun, adventurous native New Yorker.

• Follow your passion for your career
• Women are now talking about the fertility struggles, their challenges and their journey
• Perimenopause and menopause
• HRT hormone replacement therapy
• The importance of sleep and sleep trackers
• Boosting melatonin naturally

"I have never met a woman that does anything the same as another woman when it comes to women's health. So I just love really working with them and on a very individual very, very basic level and customizing their care and tailoring that care to them because there's so many different compartments and specialties and little parts to healthcare. So I always say that each woman is like a Van Gogh or a Monet or a Picasso painting so unique, that it really requires its own breath, throws its own colors. Everything needs to be so uniquely handled in the order that it's handled."

My guest today is Yolanda Drewell, author of "Look, Feel & Age Fabulous" and creator of Fabulocity

Yolanda Drewell is a Transformational Stylist, Midlife Anti-Propagandist and calls herself the Queen of Fabulocity, a habit and life philosophy that evolved out of her love for word ‘fabulous’.

Influenced by her colourful South African roots, Yolanda uses her own unique, flamboyant outfits, language and modalities to model and inspire women to discover and craft expanded and compelling versions of themselves, starting in their wardrobe.

Fabulocity is a pattern-interrupt, a genial and expansive take on self-actualising, confidence and goal-setting, offering tantalising shifts in all aspects of your life, starting with your outfits and self-identity, and moving into charisma, language, marketing, spaces, relationships, goals, behaviour, mindset and more.    

Fabulocity is rooted on three luscious tenets for living your best life:
CELEBRATION
REINVENTION
FABIFICATION

Yolanda is an ex-PR professional, and she is also a laughter yoga coach, pantomime actress and a student of Quantum Touch.  She has four teenage children, a British husband and lives in the UK with all of the above and two poodles.  She is an advocate for Steiner education (her four children went through the Steiner School system on three continents) and Extinction Rebellion (XR).

Let’s jump right in and tell us more about exploration over a number of years trying to work out how to create a successful, happy middle age. You mentioned that your motivation for this was primarily watching your mother suffer from ‘empty nest syndrome from which she never recovered.

Enter Fabulocity …why do people need this?

In today’s episode our focus is on the unique challenges (and gifts!) that women in middle and later life face in showing up and aging in the online world and being the face of their business.  I am joined by my guest, Suzanne Rothmeyer, a well established brand and commercial photographer. 

Suzanne's focus in the last several years has been on the unique challenges (and gifts!) that women in middle and later life face in showing up and aging in the online world and being the face of their business - while simultaneously being a huge force in both purchasing power and creating businesses that are passion+purpose driven. Women in their "2nd Act"!

Our conversation touches on:

• What are some of the roadblocks women have around getting in front of the camera?
• What are some of the myths/misconceptions about "authenticity" online?
• How do you go about telling a brand's story visually?
• Ways you can use branding photos as visual conversation starters on social media.
• How does a prospective client know it's time to do a brand shoot?
• The importance of relatable, storytelling imagery for your website and socials.
• How brand photography helps clients make buying decisions.

What is branded photography - Suzanne share that it's professional imagery that's unique to you and your business versus say stock photography. So it's really very curated to you, your business, your why and your how of your business. And it's geared to telling that story to your ideal clients. 

 It's looks a little different for every business, but basically that's what you're doing because you're trying to make this connection.  First of all you need to  know who your ideal client is. That's the most important first step. Once you know that then you can start crafting this narrative that you are telling to your ideal client to guide them through the process of understanding what it is you do, how it can help them, how it can solve a problem for them, how it can bring something into their life that they need or want and help them and guide them all the way through to that buying decision so that by the time they're excited and they want to do business with you.

In today’s episode our focus is on "doing less, better." My guest, Donna Dube understands that success isn't solely dependent on piling up tasks and responsibilities; it's about identifying what truly matters and channeling energy into those areas for maximum impact, evolving as an entrepreneur from overwhelmed to empowered.

Donna helps business owners go from solopreneur to confident CEO without sacrificing their life, health or relationships.

Topics we discuss include:

• Discovering how to cut back on spending too much time working "in" your business rather than "on" it.
• Consider how to identify tasks you delegate and which ones to retain for yourself.
• Key habits that successful CEOs incorporate into their weekly routines.
• Creating a weekly roadmap that aligns with long-term business goals.
• What is a CEO power hour!

"So the weekly roadmap starts with what I call the CEO Power Hour, which is a name I gave for basically a CEO date. So if you think about big corporations, that CEO is meeting with the board or meeting with the VP of Sales and Marketing and the different departments to get a handle on what is happening in the business, we need to do the same even though we don't have all those VPS. So we're meeting with ourself. And it's a time each week, one hour set aside on your calendar, recurring at the same time every week. So whether that's a Monday morning for you, or a Friday afternoon, or Sunday evening, whatever that looks like, but have it at the same time every week. And it's non negotiable, meaning you don't book anything else at that time. It's like a meeting that you have to attend, right. And during that hour, you spend time reviewing and reflecting what's happening in your business now, where is it going? And what are your going to be your top three priorities for this next week. And then, after that, a little bit of self care and support. So what do you need as business owner, either from home or from your team to help you will be successful this week?"

https://ceoamplify.ca/ceo-power-hour

Unlock the CEO's secret to working smarter, not harder with a weekly CEO power hour! This comprehensive toolkit will empower you to maximize profits, optimize operations, and make impactful decisions that drive long-term success. Get ready to harness the momentum of the CEO Power Hour and take charge of your business destiny!
