Empowered Way Podcast

Hello Empowered Wayers!

I am trying something new today. I wrote a short story and decided to read it to you.

It’s about how we see reality and how to change the results.

If you enjoyed this episode, please let me know by sharing it.

Love & light,

Kathryn

Dear Empowered Wayers -

You may have been with me for a while or just recently joined. Based on the data I receive from the Substack platform, I know you are reading and listening every week.

But I don’t know what you think or feel about any of the Empowered Way topics.

The mission of Empowered Way is to help you discover the spiritual side of life and peacefully create abundant wealth and well-being.

You will notice that I write about mindfulness, money, and manifestation on a regular basis. But am I missing something that you want to read? Are my posts and podcast too “woo-woo” and not practical enough?

Those are the questions that bother me. I realized that I can’t answer them — only you can.

Here is your chance to tell me what you think

I created a short survey that provides an opportunity for feedback. As Bill Gates remarked,

We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve.

Here is your chance to let me know what you love, like, or dislike about the Empowered Way content.

Just click on the photo below to get started. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

You, my faithful readers, can help me improve. You are a gift to me. I want to continue being a gift to you.

Love & light,

Kathryn

Hello Empowered Wayers!

Welcome to another discussion about money. It’s one of my favorite topics, because how you treat money is a reflection of who you are being.

When you are fearful, money becomes a monster waiitng to destroy you.

When you are love, money flows through your experience, easily and effortlessly.

You’re probably shaking your head, saying to yourself, “That’s too simple. Money doesn’t work like that.”

As long as you think that way, it won’t. But what if you could change your thinking and discover a new way to be with money?

Masculine v. Feminine Energies

Follow the bouncing ball connecting the dots:

* Money is energy that responds to your state of being.

* Masculine energy is linear, goal-driven, action-orientated, and quantative.

* Feminine energy is fluid, flowing, intuitive, and qualitative.

When you are full of fear, which energy do you tend to use? For most people, it’s masculine energy, because you are driven to take action and control the situation.

When you are full of love, you probably lean into your feminine energy. Peace, joy, and gratitude naturally flow through you and your needs are met in miraculous ways.

One type of energy is not better than the other; it’s the balance between the two states of being that helps us navigate through life.

When you recognize that money is energy that responds to your energy (state of being), you can intentionally set your inner state to higher energetic levels. It’s not what happens outside of you - it’s who you are being.

What to do Next

* Start a Money Journal - a place to write down the insights you discover about how you treat money. Create experiments, such as only seeing abundance for a day, then write about your experience.

As you begin to notice your thoughts and the impact they have in your life, you will step into your power to choose. Instead of habitually behaving a certain way when an unexpected bill arrives, more uplifting possibilities will be apparent.

* Start a Meditation Practice - spend quiet time becoming aware of Who You Really Are. You are made from Divine Consciousness and that means you are Divine Consciousness. You have the power to create in every moment.

Your awareness of how you create explodes as you begin to connect which thoughts produce that result. Negative or fearful thoughts create much differently than positive, loving thoughts. Then you get to choose again. To learn more, please follow me on Insight Timer.

Begin to see everything as energy and you return to your power. To create and re-create your life in the grandest version of the highest vision you hold about yourself.

Love & Light,

Kathryn

Hello Empowered Wayers :-)

A friend of mind asked me how I get prepared to be a guest on a podcast. Her question made me realize that I have some actionable tips to share.

Remember: you are a guest on their show. It’s like you’ve been invited to someone house for dinner. You don’t start telling them how to serve the meal or dominate the conversation (or you won’t get invited back).

Podcasters are the same - you have been invited to their house to speak to their audience. Be respectful and courteous to the host - after all, it’s their show.

Take some time to read about the host’s business - why did they start the podcast? What is it they want their audience to know? When you can interject these tibits of informaiton into the interview, it reflects well on the host (and they love it!).

Remember: It’s always a great idea to listen to several episodes, to get a feel for how the host conducts interviews. Some hosts will allow you to talk for 3-5 minutes before they interrupt; others will interupt before you have spoken two sentences. Either way, go with the flow.

Remember: Listening to previous episodes will also give you an idea of the type of questions the host usually asks. Take notes and asnwer these questions before you are interviewed. The host may send you a list of questions ahead of time, but I always like to hear how the questions are asked while on the air.

Remember: The host asked you to be on the show because you have something valuable to share with their audience. Show your passion and your personality - this is a conversation that is entertaining and educational. The more excited you sound, the more engaging your voice. The more engaging your voice, the more you engage the audience.

Remember: have several key stories ready to share on the podcast. Identify the point of the story, and practice telling it with only the necessary details. The last thing you want to happen is to get lost in your story and lose the audience.

How to Become a Guest on a Podcast

Research your topic and identify the most popular podcasts. Reach out to them and describe what you can bring to their audience.

Set up a profile on Podbooker.com. It’s free and it allows you to send interview requests to shows that cover your area.

You can see my profile here. Notice that I shared the links to podcasts to showcase myself as a guest. I can also search on the platform and find podcasts in my areas of interest, then send them a “Pitch Request.” When the host contacts you, you will receive an email. Then you jump back on Podbooker and arrange the details.

Summary

Be prepared to answer known and unknow questions. Get a feel for the host’s style. Learn more about what they do, so you can reflect it back to them (hosts love this).

Be engaging by showing up as yourself. Your passion for your work and your ability to communicate it is why you are on this show.

Be grateful by thanking the host for the opportunity to share your passion.

Please share your thoughts and ideas on this topic below.

To your prosperity,

Kathryn

Hello Empowered Wayers -

Did you know that the human heart is the first organ to develop in utero? It makes sense when you think about it - the heart is organ that announces there is life.

The heart is also wise and loving. As blood becomes oxygenated, the highest quality blood stays in the heart. It keeps the best for itself.

We can learn many lessons from the heart. Stay open and allow love’s energy to flow through you. Be aware of your needs and fulfill them before you help someone else.

Your heart speaks a different language than your mind.

Learn to listen to your heart speak. Breathe deeply to quiet your mind and body and allow your heart to express itself. As you practice, you will discover a new way to see reality and yourself.

The world will shift to reflect your inner state of being.

And you will discover that your worries, doubts, and fears fade away as your heart spreads its wings and shows you how to live.

Love to all,

Kathryn

Dear Empowered Wayer:

Welcome to a brand new year, full of possibilities, promises, and potential.

Instead of setting goals, why not allow your heart to lead you?

Your heart holds wisdom and love. When you intentionally energize your heart with your breath, the doubts fall away and you know you are worthy.

You also know you are loved.

Isn’t that what we are searching for, outside of ourselves? To be seen and heard and to be loved?

Your heart holds all the love you can ever receive. Your heart is the bridge to the unseen energy of Life that surrounds you in every moment. As you open your heart and allow love energy to flow in, your questions are answered.

* You are supposed to be here, sharing your unique perspective and laugh.

* You have something valuable to contribute — only you can bring it to the collective table of humanity.

* There is nothing wrong with you. You are not damaged. In the heart space, you are whole, perfect, and complete.

Lean in and listen to your heart. Your mind will protest, but soon it will quiet its chatter as you discover the bliss of living from your heart.

As always, thank you for listening, being, and loving.

Kathryn

Hello Empowered Wayers!

We are about to turn the calendar over and start a New Year. I used to stress about my goals (were they good enough), my accomplishments (they were never enough), and the fact that another year had flowed by.

Not anymore.

Now, I set my energetic state of being before I do any planning. And that one shift has made all the difference in my life.

What is your state of being? It’s the intentional energy you generate from the inside. But how do you do that?

You’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out. :-)

Welcome to the other side of you!

Love and blessings,

Kathryn

Hello Empowered Wayers!

We have entered the holiday season - Christmas, Hannakah, Kwanzaa - it seems that most of the world celebrates something at this time of year.

That means that family members you may not have seen in a while are now interacting with you. Or conflicts that you have ignored surface again at the slightest provocation.

Instead of reacting, try using your breath to calm yourself. I describe the process in the podcast and lead you through it, so you can experience it for yourself.

What I have discovered as I practice mindfulness, is that when I am present in the moment, nothing disturbs me. I am not judgmental, critical, or feeling restricitve emotions such as guilt, shame, or anger. Instead, I feel as if life moves through me.

I can keep describing this experience, but it won’t make sense to you until you experience it for yourself.

Do it now.

And please let me know how it felt, what happened to your body, and why you are going to continue being present.

Love & Light,

Kathryn

P.S. An easy way to continue the practice of presence is to meditate every day. If you are in a safe place to do so, please listen to Living as Presence as Your Life Unfolds. It’s a meditation I created for Insight Timer :-)

Hello Empowered Wayers -

Welcome to November, the gratitude month.

Why not start now and practice gratitude?

This episode of Empowered Way shows you how to do that, and shares several quotes that demonstrate the power of gratitude.

When you think of gratitude as opening the door to more of the same, it changes your perspective.

* Instead of seeing what’s wrong, you see what’s right.

* Instead of focusing on problems, you see love.-

* Instead of feeling lonely, you connect with a loving energy that is always available.

November is the month to be grateful. Why not start now, create a habit of gratitude, and you will be carried through the end of the year on a wave of love.

To your gratitude practice,

Kathryn

Dear Empowered Wayer:

In the podcast today, I share an experience I had last week during a Holistic Book Fair. The takeaway for me is that people are ready to elevate their relationship with money and wealth.

Are you one of those people?

Imagine if you could live like this:

* Instead of worry and stress, you feel peaceful and calm about your finances.

* Instead of grasping and striving, you know your needs are always met.

* Instead of seeing all the things wrong with your life, you understand that you are living from abundance.

I have helped many clients achieve a level of peace in their financial life. They showed up for the 8 week Empowered Money Map and rewrote their money stories. The shift in their beliefs and attitudes impacted their lives in ways they never could have dreamed was possible.

But it’s not all about money, is it?

As you heal your money relationship, you also begin to heal old wounds of unworthiness and unloveability. And that, my friends, opens up new possibilties in all areas of your life.

If these shifts intrique you, let’s talk. Jump on my calendar for a free 30-minute session to see how I can help you. It’s called an Empowered Money Session and it’s a fast way to see if you want to work with me.

Caveat: I coach only women. If you are a guy, don’t be offended. If you still want to talk, go ahead and schedule a session.

Let’s move forward in our spiritual journey and release what no longer serves.

As always, thank you for being part of Empowered Way.

To your prosperity,

Kathryn
