Welcome back to the Dear Higher Self Podcast! Tune in with your spiritual besties and hosts, Lauren and Gina, as we share approximately one billion of our biggest takeaways from the 2024 Powerhouse Women event!

If you’re not already familiar with Powerhouse Women, it’s an incredible annual event in Phoenix, Arizona hosted by entrepreneur Lindsey Schwartz, with the intention of bringing women together in community to remind you that you don’t have to do life or business alone. We were BLOWN AWAY by this year’s speakers, who talked about all things intuition, building a business from a soul-led place, money mindset, manifestation, healing emotional wounds and fears around self-doubt, embodiment, physical health, and so, so much more.

In this episode, we talk about:

- Our major takeaways from attending this year’s Powerhouse Women event (warning: there are SO. MANY. TAKEAWAYS!!!) 

- The common thread of why it’s so important to follow your intuition on the entrepreneurial journey

- Why it’s important to put yourself in rooms like this

- How “expanders” (AKA inspirational people who are either a few steps ahead of you, or are where you want to end up in the long run) push you, and why it’s so key to intentionally surround yourself with people who motivate and inspire you

- Practical tips & self-care hacks we learned from the speakers this year that you can start implementing in your life today

Welcome back to the Dear Higher Self Podcast with your spiritual besties & hosts, Gina and Lauren!

In this episode, we explore various facets of personal growth and self-discovery from the lens of what it means to come back home to your Authentic Self. We talk about how to evaluate and rewrite beliefs that no longer serve us, embrace identity shifts, and reconnect with our true selves versus who we’ve been conditioned to be. We also highlight how important it is to be patient and remember the gradual process of growth, as well as detaching from labels, and the importance of self-prioritization.

Tune in with us as we dive deep into the mission of coming back home to yourself, shedding what no longer serves you, and strengthening your connection to your Authentic Self!

We also talk about:

- What it means to come back home to yourself & our experiences with that journey so far

- Unlearning societal conditioning we’ve picked up as children and throughout our lives

- How to evaluate and rewrite beliefs that no longer serve you

- What your actual responsibility is when manifesting (it’s simpler than you think!)
