Nichole Sylvester's life purpose is to help women break free of limiting mindsets to be fully empowered to have the life they want. If anyone can vouch for this, it's Nichole! She went from abuse, addiction, and abandonment to abundance and awakening.

Nichole was a keynote speaker at the Truth Telling live event and she lit the audience on fire with her transformational speech. We talk about our experience preparing for our speeches - the shame and shadows we faced, as well as the daily work of honoring our bodies by listening, emotions as our source of power, spiritual bypassing, and book writing as a form of healing.

Her story is remarkable and inspiring - driven by faith and trust that she was meant to help other women through sharing her own challenges and what she learned on the laboratory of her life, and often, as he says - on her bedroom floor.

With my birthday, a new moon and Summer Solstice all coming up and within a few days of each other, I'm feeling the pull of time on my mind, especially as the video from Truth Telling for Truth Seekers keynote is online now. When I told the story on stage of the moment I knew I had to leave my 'perfect life', I cleared a lot of energetic, psychological and emotional trauma, shame, and suffering that I was still holding onto. Suffering is an intellectual reaction to pain. It is disempowering and draining, while keeping us trapped in mental cycles.

We can go into the past to mark the places where we've left parts of ourselves, called Descansos by author Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and we can lay those parts of ourselves to rest, bless them and move on. This practice opens us to different responses and results in the present.

Andrea Iapaolo is the Mother of Mindset, Facilitator of Space, and a Conscious Crisis Coordinator. She's in the business of showing you that your upsets are your gifts and it can be very inspiring to breakdown, breakthrough and recreate your world, especially when you face the parts of your psyche - what we call the shadow - that most of us prefer not to even acknowledge!

In this episode, Andrea, who now lives in Bali, tells her story of knowing from the age of 5 that she wanted to help people navigate life. She had to overcome major challenges to live her purpose, including creating a major family rift.

We redefine enlightenment, discuss the generational mindset change around purpose, how we are all alchemists, and the role of self-love, self-care and compassion in making the kinds of shifts in our minds that make real change in our lives. There is so much to reflect on!

In this episode, I talk to my sister Camilla d'Errico. Camilla is a renowned illustrator and painter. We talk about her challenges growing up as an unconventional artist, the importance of being yourself, and her proactive and fierce stance around diversity, body shaming, and online bullying.

She is dedicated to creating a safe, open and inclusive community of art lovers and fans. Her latest sold-out solo show, 'Sky' is an homage to diversity and inclusion of all people.

We started her business in 2008, choosing to monetize and commercialize her art at a time when it was very frowned upon. We don't like being told, 'you can't!' No stranger to criticism, Camilla has always honored herself, obstinately held onto her imagination, her love of play and fantasy, and honed her talent to become one of the most loved pop surrealist painters in the world.

Bianca is the co-founder of 'Into the Mystic Yoga' transformational retreats and trainings. She is a movement facilitation expert for chronic pain sufferers, intuitive coach, and yoga teacher. She is also my sister!

Bianca's personal journey of inner meaning has been shaped by chronic pain following a car accident when she was 19.

She began teaching yoga after she understood the profound physical, psychological and emotional impact of a proper practice.

Her definition of health is holistic, embodying the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions. Learning to focus on what she does have, rather than staying stuck in thoughts of what is missing has allowed her to still enjoy life, create her own form of yoga for pain and injury prevention, and to be a successful entrepreneur.
