Show Notes:

Today’s episode is all about confidence. When you move forward with the attitude of “I am that bitch”, it doesn't mean that you're full of yourself, it doesn't mean that you don’t like other people or that you think you're better than someone, it means that you realize that you are literally made of God energy, you are made of what the universe is made of and you cannot die with the thing you’re meant to do trapped inside of you. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

Show Notes:

Today my guest on the podcast is Anna Yusim. Anna is a nationally recognized psychiatrist, speaker and author with a private practice in New York City. After spending so much time studying and working with science, Anna felt there was something missing in her life so she set out to find it. She traveled, lived and worked in over 50 countries while studying Kabbalah, learning Buddhist meditation and working with South American shamans and Indian gurus. Her life goal for many years now has been to figure out how science and spirituality work hand in hand. And that's ultimately what led her to write her book, Fulfilled: The Science of Spirituality and How it Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life. In this episode she shares with us her fundamental truths around fulfillment.

Also learn about my Become Aligned course. The reason why my husband Chris and I created this course is because we get asked so many questions on how we started living the life that we live now, a life of happiness, of abundance, of really understanding that life is always full of problems every single day, but there's always a solution. In the course we cover everything from mindset to the rituals that we do every single day. We talk about different energy sources, we talk about your purpose, what that actually means and how it's always changing. We show you how to build a tribe to support where you're going. And we talk about wealth, abundance, money, all of the good things, and how to sustain them.

Question Highlights:

• I want to know how science and spirituality work hand in hand. What is a really good starting place for people to start unpacking that?
• How does spirituality change your brainwaves?
• What is it about being fulfilled for you that made you want to write about this whole topic?
• What is your main false sense of fulfillment? And how did you figure out what was true for you?
• Is there something that you're surrendering right now? And what exactly is the narrative in your brain when you are releasing or letting go of something or offering it up?
• What does living in your purpose mean? Can your purpose change? How do we know when it changes?
• What are the fundamental truths that you have found around fulfillment for you?

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

• Why you should come to The Bliss Project in March 2020
• Pain is the way we learn and expand
• We experience pain when we are not living our purpose
• If we don’t transform our suffering, we transmit it to our families, our neighbours and our communities

Resources:

• Learn more: The Bliss Project 2020

Show Notes:

Today's podcast is inspired by the idea that pain is a valuable lesson. We experience a lot of pain when we don’t know the things we're put on the earth to do or we don’t know how to do them. If we don’t transform our suffering, we transmit your suffering to our families, our neighbors and even to our communities. So we have to start taking action on the things that we know we are meant to do. Also The Bliss Project is coming up in March 2020. I would love to see you all there. It is one of the most amazing things that I've ever gotten to do and participate in and it's your opportunity to meet some of the most epic women that you can possibly meet and be able to have them in your life as friends and business partners. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

Question 1:

@finding_steadiness

You and Chris are relationship goals! What's your advice for a healthy relationship?

Question 2:

Melanie Oligeri

I was recently listening to when you were on Ed Mylett’s podcast last year. At the end of the episode you were talking about how you and Chris used very different methods in business. He was more about finance/numbers/etc. and you were more of the soul work. My husband and I are both entrepreneurs and that sounds like the exact phase we are in. How did you figure it out and not take things personally when opinions clashed?

Question 3:

Samantha Montalbano

What are you most excited about in life right now?
