Today’s meditation addresses the myth of inadequacy. Sometimes known as Imposter Syndrome. You were born a child of God. You have infinite capacity to achieve whatever you set your heart on. Nothing is impossible for you, once you make a definite decision.

Angela was raised to be stronger than life. You’re going to face challenges, and you have to be stronger then they are. That belief served her and also made her hard and angry and tired. We talk about how she found her way to role models who gave her a more positive outlook and the idea of being content and accepting while still striving to become better. She shares her experiences in some male-dominated industries and what happened when she continued to push through her time of FINE. Yes, this includes another bad boss model. You’ll hear where she feels most at home. Then stay through because she’s got a public service announcement of sorts that affects a majority of you listening.

An entrepreneur with a background in the airline, computer science, telecommunications, and banking and investment industries, Angela saw the future needs diversity of thought. Based on her belief that the generation of young women coming up after her require skills and positive direction to thrive in a society that would benefit from their strengths, she founded the non-profit organization Response. Ability. And through that organization, she is developing young women into future leaders and empowering them to understand they have the ability to choose their responses.

Angela’s hype song is Storms in Africa by Enya. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XADqpiLCsM

Today’s meditation focuses on kindness. Kindness is our natural state of being. Even when it feels like we live in a cruel world, we can find elements of kindness around us and we can certainly give kindness to others.

Wayne Dyer talked about research showing one simple act of kindness, directed toward another improves the functioning of the immune system and stimulates production of serotonin – which is the feel-good chemical in the brain – in both the recipient and the person extending the kindness. Kindness given, accepted or even observed as a third party beneficially impacts your physical health and feelings.

Today’s guest is Courtney Krulis from the Byron Bay area of Australian. Courtney has such an incredible energy, which you’ll hear right away. In this episode we’re talking about living up to family expectations, breaking rules, and following breadcrumbs to magical places. We’re exploring the topic of divine coincidences bringing people together to create and the strengthening of the letting go muscle. I’m super excited for you to hear about a technique that can work for those of you with hyperactive minds who have difficulty sitting quietly to meditate.

Courtney, who’s also known by some as Coco, is a published-author and professional enthusiast – I love that, professional enthusiast, I might want to take on that title myself. She’s also a multi-passionate entrepreneur who is on a mission to spread Joy to the world. She blends wisdom from spiritual practices with positive psychology to awaken people to their creativity, play and joy through 1:1 coaching, women's empowerment courses, ecstatic dance movement experiences, and corporate workshops. She’s the author of Pick Me Up Empowerment Cards, which serve as daily motivation to bring positivity and humor into everyday life. They would make a fantastic holiday gift, just saying.

Not surprisingly, Courtney loves to be on stage, inspiring people to take risks, connect their intuition, and live their one precious life filled with love, play, and JOY!

Full moon meditations are best done during the full moon energy, which starts three days before and continues for three days after the actual full moon. All full moons are a time of heightened energy, activity, and emotions. Full moons with a lunar eclipse, which is what this particular meditation was created for, amplify that energy even more.

The guided part is 11 minutes and the music goes on for another 9 after if you want to stay in meditation longer.

My guest this week is Chelsie Ward. We're talking about being raised with the belief that you have to be perfect, challenging what you accept as a family or societal norm, and once again, how mindset affects your physical health.

We get into rewiring your brain, reprogramming your thoughts is a constant thing you work on. You can't undo years and years and years of wiring, from the time you were a small child, all the way up to now, in one session. Understand you’re not failing or doing it wrong when the negative self talk comes back up. Know that working on reprogramming yourself every morning and saying this is who I am now, is what moves you forward on your new path.

And Chelsie talks about making a decision. A decision that she didn’t want to live the crazy life she’d been leading anymore. She didn’t want to be pretend she had everything figured out and was living without imperfections. She wanted to learn who she is at her core and be driven by a higher purpose, not her past and who she HAD been. All it takes is a decision and you can change everything.

Chelsie’s story is a story of hope and encouragement for what is possible in your own life.

Last week, I hosted a workshop where I shared how I found clarity, passion, and peace around which direction to go in this next stage of life - and how YOU CAN TOO! If you’d like to see the replay, go to ZenRabbit.com to get access to that video.

Chelsie's hype song is Pharrell Williams' "Happy." Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7dPqrmDWxs
