Wow. Christine Gutierrez was the awesome, honest, upfront and intelligent guest I had only dreamed of being able to ask some hard questions of. Questions that included the "hard" stuff that a lot of people are scared to bring up.

But I believe in the power of conversation, and in staying open and curious.

Christine is a Licensed Therapist & Spiritual Healer. She has, for many years, been leading women on retreats and in her practice, find there way back to themselves and overcome the trauma and violation that holds them back.

She is also a strong voice when it comes to diversity, inclusion & privilege, and one who strongly believes in standing up for and elevating the voices of those who perhaps don't have the same privilege to be heard.

If you're looking for a REAL and POWERFUL conversation talking about all the things...don't go any further. This episodes includes:

• Understanading Spiritual Bypassing
• The strange Self-Help Elitism that is occurring
• Intergenerational Trauma; What it is and how it shows up
• Privilege, and how it shows up in many different ways
• How we can be curious about all the types of privilege we have
• And what can you do that with privilege we do have
• The importance of lowering our defenses and embracing curiosity
• Dangers of commercialism in generating popularity
• How we can be aware of Marginalization
• How we need to have spaces for people to explore their pure and raw rage
• Understanding that we are all learning, and the journey is far from flawless
• How have we have all, at some time, partaken in that which has caused negative impact
• The divide that has been highlighted by recent political climate
• How important it is to recognize that we all have something to learn from one another
• Where being hurt and triggered is often coming from
• How the amount we judge one another is hurting us. Judgement keeps us separate from another human. 

Christine mentions a new initiative of hers that will be live soon called, www.elevatevoices.com.

Do you kick yourself because you always seem to take the path of least resistance and wonder if you have any willpower or self-discipline at all? I'm the first to admit that I'm not the most disciplined person I know, but I do a bunch of things that allow me to maximize the impact of my willpower, and support myself in a positive way.

In this episode I'm giving you a quick rundown of some of the theory around Willpower (and I'll say, it is very intuitive) and also outlining 4 simple ways you can maximize your self-discipline.

Among other things, this episode covers:

• Why it is important not to waste our willpower
• The power of "bookending" your day with morning and evening routines
• How being preemptive in our thinking allows us to minimize the need to make decisions in the moment, and in turn, rely on willpower
• And how we're all likely to have less willpower later in the day.

Emma Mildon is such a gorgeous soul! She is real, grounded, fired-up and honest. She is the bestselling author of The Soul Searchers Handbook, and this is her second time back on Here to Thrive! You can check her out at #9 too :).

Her new book, The Evolution of Goddess, is mesmerizing and the first book to give me a spiritual gut-punch in I don't know how long.

In this conversation we're talking about so much, including:

• How it is time women burned their spiritual training bras, because the world doesn't have time for cute
• How we have full permission and are worthy enough of our biggest dreams
• How our gut knowing is one of our greatest gifts
• What the world needs is more women supporting women
• And how we must turn inward as we walk forward in our evolution.

This episode I'm breaking Gratitude down into the What, Why and How.

I consider gratitude a wonder emotion, and one that we can miraculously invoke with not too much energy. If we can find our grateful groove, we really do start to look at the world in a different light.

I reference a blog post by a leading Gratitude Researcher, Robert Emmons, and you can read that here: https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/why_gratitude_is_good

This one was an awesome full-circle moment for me! Mastin is a number one best-selling author of Daily Love and Claim Your Power, speaker and Creator of Functional Life Coaching™ for people who are seeking rapid transformation in their lives.

He has been featured on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday in one of their highest rated episodes, and recognized as a “thought leader for the next generation” by Oprah Winfrey. He’s also a two-time contributor to Oprah’s new book.

Mastin has built a highly successful international personal development company that helps people create rapid change, connect to who they really are and how to live their lives with passion and purpose. Through his writing, online courses, in-person seminars and international retreats, Mastin has worked with over two million people in over 100 countries around the world.

In this episode, we're focusing on what Mastin has been doing lately, and his understanding of the power unhealed trauma is having unconsciously in so many of our lives. He believes that we all have trauma, and that until we look at it and truly heal it, we will never be able to step fully into our power and potential.

Specifically we're talking:

• What Functional Life Coaching™ is?
• The lack of looking for the root-cause in the current methods of self-help and development
• How we can be doing all the right things, and still feel like we're not evolving or getting anywhere
• How the political divide and uprising around racial inequality and misogyny are actually good things
• And why our goal needs to be to make sure we don't pass our suffering on to others.

We mention the live event he is holding from July 12th-15th in Orlando, FL. Tickets are still available and very reasonably priced. You can find those here: www.claimyourpowerlive.com

Jodi Baretz had me having serious a-ha moments. Her description of why we should be aware of mindfulness, and the benefits it has for us, tugged hard at my heartstrings. I've known about mindfulness and the theory for a long time, but I've never had someone kind of hit me between the eyes about why I would want to prioritize it in my own life, and I feel like our conversation really did that for me.

Jodi is a Psychotherapist, Mindfulness Teacher & Integrative Health Coach, and she weaves all of this expertise into her own type of wisdom.

She is also the author of the brand new release, Mindful is the New Skinny. To grab your copy, head here: https://amzn.to/2xNECbp

In this episode, a small snippet of the things we cover include:

• How the desire for external perfection robs us of our joy
• How a diet-mindset undermines self-compassion
• How obsession with food can be an avoidance mechanism for what we don't want to face in our lives
• How we can start being kinder to ourselves
• Importance of awareness of our thoughts (and how mindfulness helps us achieve this)
• How starting a meditation practice can feel like you're locked in a phone booth with a crazy person (but that is okay!)
• How practicing mindfulness really helps us out when we're up against life's challenges
• How so many of us are missing out on making memories in our lives because we're not present
• and how we can make sleep a pampering experience.

All that and I LOVED her definition of fulfillment! It is a GOODIE!

Are you very good at looking back on your achievements, celebrating them, and taking stock? Or are you like most of us, and often focused on the next goal or to-do?

In this episode, I'm teaching you how to stop.pause. and reflect...because if we're perpetually striving for something else, we're cutting ourselves off from so much of the joy that is already right here with us.

-- if you'd like to review Here to Thrive on iTunes, hit here: www.thrive.how/review -

I'm talking:

·     About how important it is for us to look down the mountain and how far we've already come

·     Why we overlook so often how awesome we are and focus instead on where we still aren't there yet

·     And how we can make space to reflect and magnify the joy in the journey.
