Living from Inside Out

The moment we start to look for outward validation is when we need to look inward the most. The world is already crazy, chaotic, and unpredictable as it is. Why let it dictate who you are and what you want to be? Break free from that by turning inward. But how do we do it? In this episode, Rebecca Victor sits down with Laura Rupsis of Primal Health Coach Institute, who will share with us her journey of how she’s turned inward for guidance and understanding so that she can live a life that has greater meaning, value, and joy for her. She talks about the importance of taking care of your overall health, her passion for ancestral health and wellness, and pursuing what it is that speaks most to you. Through Laura’s experience, you can get the idea of what it means to look within and then turn outward and live it. Follow along to this episode to learn more.

When it comes to success, it can be so easy to get caught up in trying to look for validation from the world. However, true success—one that makes you feel fulfilled and happy—is about that inward journey. Rebecca Victor’s guest in this episode is someone who has been walking through that. She sits down with internationally known thought leader, innovative CEO, and mentor coach, Wendy Y. Bailey. Here, WendyY shares with us her inward journey towards finding that gift of transparency that has allowed her to thrive with mental illness, using her platforms to speak about it so that people aren’t afraid or concerned. She dives deep into what she calls her breakthrough strategy, highlighting the power of resilience to who you are and how you show up in your life and business. Moving towards the inward journey has changed not only WendyY’s life but those around her. It’s time you do too. Follow this conversation to learn how to start yours.

When we turn within to listen to that still small voice, it can seem very illusive, for it is not like the incessant chattering in our minds. How can we tell the difference between the internal voice of guidance and that of our intellect? Join Rebecca Victor in this episode as she explores what we can pay attention to help us discern which voice we are listening to and find inward guidance and love.

On today’s show, Rebecca Victor invites a special guest to talk about how we should treat other people like they’re four years old. It might seem like a ridiculous perspective, but John “J” Stanton, co-founder of Studio Volant, doesn’t see it that way. He shares how it is important to treat people with kindness and respect, just like a 4-year-old child—loving unconditionally and compassionately, and one that sees no prejudice in others. Bringing that to his professional life, John takes us throughout his career journey and the lessons that allowed him to find success. He also talks about the importance of choosing happiness and, when it becomes difficult to do so, how we can take care of ourselves, turning within, and nurturing the parts of us that needed it.

How do we see ourselves? Whose eyes are we looking through to define who we are? More than likely, we are looking through the perceptions we learned from others based upon what was considered important to that group of people. On today's show, Rebecca Victor shares her inward journey that gives us another option for understanding and experiencing who we are - an option that is more affirming and positive. Getting to know ourselves and seeing our value for who we are is important, but the inward journey to getting to know yourself is often neglected. Join Rebecca as she shares how she learned the gift of the inward journey and the positive impact it had and continues to have in her life. 

With everyone's schedule these days always full to the brim and sometimes almost no time for hobbies, going to a quiet place and turning within always falls to the bottom of the to-do list. But unbeknownst to all, amazing things can come up by spending time with yourself and understanding your inner energies. Rebecca Victor delves into the rewards of this practice, from having the proper discernment to react to all kinds of messages, the ability to be compassionate at every level, to achieving awareness with the present. She also shares the most advisable ways to approach this side of life where silence reigns, from doing different kinds of meditation to keeping a daily journal.

Emotions exist for a reason and that reason is to guide us along in our inward journeys. Our bodies are aware that emotional guidance exists, but our minds are often unconscious of it. There is so much that we can learn about ourselves and there is so much creative energy that we can unleash into the world if we can be in tune with what we feel in our gut, what our instinct tells us, what our emotions are pointing towards. All it takes is the willingness to respect it, to accept its guidance and live in accordance with it. Join Rebecca Victor as she shares some stories that illustrate the power of this concept.

Without knowing your purpose, life seems empty. There is always that lingering feeling that something is missing. For Daria Dillard Stone, that feeling of being lost led to a suicide attempt when she tried to search within her and found nothing. On today’s podcast, Daria joins Rebecca Victor to in an intimate conversation about her search for her life’s purpose. From a rocky divorce to her failed suicide attempt, Daria discloses how her search finally ended when she found God and learned to accept herself. Are you struggling to discover your purpose?

The more the world becomes chaotic, the more we need to go deep inside. The one thing we know is certain for this guidance is ourselves.
