Conscious Matters ® Podcast

"To shift your life in a desired direction, you must powerfully shift your subconscious." - Kevin L. Mitchell author. 

The famous philosopher, Sigmund Freund, in the 19th century, actually ranked the 3 states of mind: the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the unconscious mind. Today we'll focus on the 2nd one: the subconscious mind. 

If you have been a regular listener, you know how passionately intrigued by the power of the mind, I am. Looking into neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy materials, I came to understand that one of the most powerful inner forces of human behavior is the subconscious. Numerous cognitive neuroscientists have conducted studies revealing that 95 percent of our brain activity is unconscious, in other words beyond our conscious awareness. 

What if we could understand the subconscious to harness its power to our advantage, and consciously design the life we want to live? 

I invited transformational therapist, hypnotherapist, and Neuro-Linguistics Programming (NLP) Practitioner, Kameka Smith to discuss about the subconscious mind through transformational therapy.

"Innocence" - by my friend Tamaraebi -

It's Valentine's day! Yep, we're back at it again and while I love celebrations, to me there is no better way to celebrate love than starting with self-love. I did an episode on self-love last year, go check it out if you missed it. So to follow up, I now want to focus on self-care. We should love and care for ourselves everyday but I see Valentine’s day as a reminder of that in case we’ve been caught up in our everyday life, loosing our love and care for ourselves in the process. But the thing is ... that, even if we all know that self-care is beneficial, how to go about it is still quite broad. That's why getting a little bit of help in gaining clarity on the framework of how your energy works can not only be a great boost to your self-care but can also be utterly transformative. Who doesn't want that? 

Today, we'll look at self-care through the Human Design lense with Human Design expert Allison Unruh from Color-Shift. 

GROW by learning - IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT: 

1. What is Human Design?
2. Using a Human Design perspective for self-love/care.
3. How can Human Design nourish our soul/own self-care?
4. Self-care advice for each of the five human design types to implement into their own self-care toolkit. 
5. Human Design and the flow of male and female energy influencing self-care practices of the different types.
6. Human Design as a tool to influence your wellness biz branding.
7. Simple daily habits to be and act more conscious(ly) that would apply to all of the Human Design types.

And so much more …

It’s that time of the year when we transition from one year into the next. Ending one cycle and beginning a new one. Saying goodbye to the one of a kind 2020 and hello to 2021! Now with 2021 on the horizon, we are at the beginning of a new adventure. Despite 2020 being a rollercoaster all year long, there were some positive elements that contribute to living more consciously. So why not listing the mindful takeaways 2020 left us with, and start this new era with our personal wellness toolkit a little bit fuller?  

Listen up to this gem! 

Namaste listeners,

I finally crossed the other side and left my twenties behind me. Celebrating your big 30s during a worldwide pandemic and under full lockdown is not ideal and definitely not what I expected when looking forward to this pivotal moment in my life. Nonetheless, it gave me the opportunity to have this calm and slowness to reflect back on my past. So I felt like starting off this new decade of my life by reflecting and sharing 30 lessons I’ve learned and continue on learning every single day - lessons that help us become more self-aware of ourselves, others, the Earth, and the Universe at large.

Being self-aware completely changes your perspective on life, on others, on your relationships, your thinking patterns, and so on. Self-awareness is actually the 1st step that contributes to living more consciously, at least for me. Just like any issue, first, recognize the problem, then fix it.

I’ll probably won’t get into each life experience that taught me each lesson, otherwise, it would be an extra-long podcast episode but let’s get it on with the listing.

Listen up to this gem!

Valentine’s day, that time of the year when it’s all about love everywhere but … let’s switch things up a bit. Instead of falling into the business aspects of this day such as buying gifts, flowers and also looking for approval of someone else and calling your partner your “half”; let’s focus this talk on YOU, on self-love. The type of love that nourishes you deep inside and which is the key to love others fairly and healthily. 

Today’s episode is a little bit different from the previous ones. I was very keen on bringing you a great guest, as usual, to exchange on self-love but something was sort of blocking me in the process of doing so. I still wanted to genuinely encourage you to keep on cultivating your self-love. I had to listen to my gut feeling and stop for a moment. It got me thinking … that’s when I had this ah-ha moment: “you want to talk about self-love but with someone else, isn’t it contradictory or at least ambivalent?” I had to admit that, in a sense, yes absolutely, the power of the word “self” in the term “self-love” is so strong that I should maybe focus on that, and this time, have myself talk about what “self-love” means to ME. Not saying that opening the conversation with others about self-love is a no-no. I am actually a strong believer in adding different perspectives on the same topic to add more substance and value. Nonetheless, this time it felt right to express my own thoughts on this conscious matter. 

So here we are with me rambling by myself about self-love. 

Listen up to this gem!

Namaste listeners,

“Self-love is all about the internal work, your state of mind, adjusting your perspective on life to one that will make you feel great about yourself.” 

“We might need to follow some society standards to not be totally ostracised but not when they become toxic to yourself and your sensibilities.”

“We all need gentleness, provide it to yourself.”

I decided to theme 2020: unleash your inner power. Even though we can reassess ourselves at any time, to me this beginning of the new year feels like the perfect time to set my intentions of what kind of life I want to live and love. A time to live in my truth, speak up, advocate for what I stand for, embrace my full-self and share my gift to the world. In this episode, I exchange with Tedx talk speaker Janine Esbrand, a woman who stepped into HER power which improved her life to have it all. She is the hero of many career-driven women who find themselves overwhelmed, feeling unprepared for their new position or career, and often are at a crossroads between their own well-being, being present in their own personal lives and delivering high-quality work.

She decided to trade her prestigious position with becoming a consultant lawyer and building her own business. Giving her the flexibility to focus on expanding her career as a coach so she could share her experience and efficient tools with other women transitioning to a consequential life shift. Fully embracing and unleashing her inner power actually led her to live a life in which she does everything she loves and has fun while doing so. 

Her work helps those women live more consciously in a way that they find balance in their lives. Janine created a beautiful supportive community of women who are living a life they chose. Today Janine and I talk about limiting beliefs, getting your power back, positive thinking, manifesting your goals into reality, finding your tribe, shining in your uniqueness and more.

Listen to this gem!
