Homeward: The Sovereign Business Podcast

I felt a download coming this morning in response to some questions being asked over in The Why Warrior Tribe (my free FB group, join us!) so I grabbed the mic and threw down a quick podcast.

I share how we manifested our dream home on the lake and the steps we take over and over again to create all of what we want (and what we don't want, unfortunately!) in our lives.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to manifest your deepest desires

• How to shift from creating experiences that you would like to avoid

• The mindset tweak that helped fast track manifesting the things we want

• How we rinse and repeat this process over and over again

I am so excited to share my mastermind sister Melyssa Griffin with you all. Melyssa teaches online courses and live workshops for online entrepreneurs, like you and me, and bloggers who want to turn their after-work hobbies into full-time businesses. A few of Melyssa's specialities include list-building, webinars, and using Pinterest for your business. She also leads an active Facebook group of over 60,000 members and helps over 150,000 people in her weekly emails.

Melyssa is a mom to one wacky corgi named Monja, an expert at laughing and a green smoothie aficionado. She is brilliantly strategic in what she does and her genuine, service-based approach in serving her audience is second to none. This is a must listen, friends.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• How we can get into a place where we feel alive and completely fulfilled

• Why Melyssa started sharing income results with her community

• How to get over limiting beliefs when it comes to numbers and list-building

• Top tips for using incentives, content upgrades, and Pinterest to grow your business

• How to tap into your truth and connect with your core purpose

MELYSSA'S STORY:

• Started an online community for herself and others

• Decided to share her income results for transparency

• Felt miserable after her best year yet and shifted her focus

• Raised over $120K in 2 weeks for charity

WHAT I ASK:

• What advice do you have for people who don't feel alive in their business, career or relationship?

• How do you make decisions about where to spend time in your business?

• What is the most important thing you focus on in your business each day?

• What would you say to someone who wants a bigger list and a bigger paycheck, but feels stuck?

SOUL FUELED QUOTES:

"Even when it seems like a really tough choice like quitting a job or ending a relationship, it feels like the end of the world, but then we realize it's just the beginning of this even better world."

"When you remove the anxiety and fear of the ego, it's really from this place of having fun and helping people."

"The people who are meant to be in your tribe will resonate more with you the more that you are yourself and the more you have confidence in that person."

"Do I need to be focusing on making more and doing more? Is it actually fulfilling me? For me, it's about running my business from a place of meaning and intention."

Tori Sullivant is a joy seeker and trauma thriver. This strong woman has countless reasons to define herself as a victim and keep to the sidelines of life, but she instead, she has chosen to look at life as an opportunity to learn and to give. I'm honored to share her story with you and to amplify her light that still glows after so much darkness.

Tori watched tornados destroy two towns she's lived in, she survived a terrorist bombing and lost her baby son just hours after he was born. She has battled severe PTSD and anxiety, and ultimately found a way to rise through the pain and darkness to serve the lives of others and create a non-profit in her son's name.

Tori has presented us with an opportunity to find a new perspective on the trauma and challenges in our own lives through her inspiring story.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to change your perspective on challenges through your reaction

• How speaking out about your grief will make a difference

• How faith and alignment helped Tori move through grief

• Why Tori never self-identified as a victim

• The importance of sharing your truth and your story

TORI'S STORY:

• Targeted by Somali terrorists in Uganda

• Lost her son to congenital heart disease

• Had her best business month and started a non-profit during her darkest time

• Now coaching women to find joy through grief

WHAT I ASK:

• What has helped you unravel and move through suffering?

• What motivated you to never self-identify as a victim?

• How has your story changed your life and business?

• How do we learn to value ourselves and our story?

SOUL FUELED QUOTES:

"I reached a point where surviving wasn't cutting it anymore. Clearly, I'm here to do more than just breathe and walk around if I've survived all these things."

"We don't know what's going to happen, but we have so much power in our ability to react."

"So many people get stuck on their healing journey because they don't allow themselves to feel.

"It was survival for me to find joy and hope in life. It was pure defiance. It's very easy to throw in the towel. I didn't want that."

In this Soul-Fueled CEO Masterclass, we cover topics like anxiety, self-worth, taking the leap in business, and so many other things. We dissect the power of The 5-Second Rule, and how you can apply it to your own life to kickstart massive transformation with small, powerful changes.

"Behind any success story, there's at least 10 years of suffering."

"You can always control what you say, what you think, and what you do."

"Your dreams come down to your decisions. Your life, the happiness you have come down to your decisions."
