Get ready to tap into your subconscious power today by listening in on this incredible conversation I had with Beatriz Boas, the founder of ThetaBreathwork™. She gives such a powerful perspective on the subconscious programming we have in our mind, manifestation, & the transformative properties of breathwork.

Bea's always been enthusiastic about getting to know people on a deeper level and helping them to reconnect with their essence. In her personal quest of seeking purpose in life, she experienced a variety of mindset, energy and healing techniques. Although all of them contributed in some way to her journey, she always felt like there was a missing piece.

She felt inspired to combine different techniques, such as ThetaHealing, Breathwork, Hypnosis, Mindset Coaching, Meditation and others in a attempt to fulfill that integration gap she identified in these techniques separately. This gave birth to a whole new experience with a massive transformative power, what we know today as ThetaBreathwork™. 

Bea has made ThetaBreathwork™  her life's mission, and she is committed to sharing this technique all around the world through her new ThetaBreathwork Certification so that other coaches, therapists, and wellness practitioners can create massive transformation to themselves and others too.

Haven't recorded a solo episode in a minute... happy to be here with you!!! This topic is one that's really close to my heart... literally. I'm here to discuss what it takes to open up your heart to relationships, opportunities, jobs, & anything really that you desire in your ether. It's powerful when you can have that feeling of openness to love, abundance, & joy, yet it can also be hard to maintain that openness with all of life's craziness, anxiety, & triggers. Sooo I'm here to open the door :) and speak from experience on what's helped me continue to feel so expansive in my heart - which stems from learning to trust yourself, honor your needs, commit to yourself, & let go enough to surrender to the unknown that is life. <3

What an honor it is to welcome my friend & roomie from my Costa Rica retreat - Emily Stones!! <3 She is such a beautiful, soft-spoken, & sweet soul who has made some profound, life-altering decisions in the last few years to get to where she is right now, learning to trust herself & live her life out authentically along the way. Her story inspired me so much personally, and I'm so grateful that she was open to share it all with you too!

In this chapter of life, Emily feels that she is someone that she's proud of. She used to describe this time in her life as a journey but feels that only implies that it has a mission or finish line. Instead, she prefers to say that she's at a place in her life where she's making it a priority to live the life she wants in the most authentic way she can. She's open to new opportunities and connections. She's trusting her intuition and leaping forward with a lot of faith. She is making the space for herself to slow down. Emily has spent the last year traveling only to uncover that the greatest part of this exploration was going inward.

4:50 self love is giving yourself space to explore & listen in to yourself

6:55 how to practice being quiet with yourself
