Made Iconic

How many people out there can honestly say they’re living their daily lives intuitively? That they’re really listening to their gut, that little voice inside? Find out how to tap into this incredible resource, and how I learned the hard way to listen to what my intuition is telling me.

My guest today is Colleen McCloskey. Colleen is a true believer in intuitive thinking as a way to become more in touch with the life you’re living. She is a spiritual life coach, occupational therapist, Reiki practitioner, personal trainer, and runs the online community Soulbrite, which aims to help people live their lives mindfully and with intention. We discuss how Colleen first came to the realization that she was an intuitive thinker, the deep connection between intuition and meditation, and how we can get over certain attachments to really connect to our inner selves.

Colleen has been using her special penchant for intuition since childhood.  She has lived much of her life using this unique way of navigation. Lucky for us, she also uses her gift to help others and uses the Soulbrite program to explore the ins and outs of spiritual enhancement. She combines Reiki, meditation, the laws of attraction, and more to tap into a deeper spirituality and higher consciousness. 

Tune in to Episode 5 of Make Life Your Bitch, to learn more about Colleen’s story, why you should always follow those gut feelings, and how to begin to harness your intuitive feelings to help guide you through life.

In the last episode, you've heard me talk about the importance of being unapologetically millennial and owning the force within you that is the fuel to your success. 

My guest of today's episode, Renu Tondak, is the proof that when millennials set their minds to do something, nothing can stop them! She is the owner of Renewed By Renu, a coaching business that helps mothers monetize their passions and gain time by mastering the juggle and set up their side hustle. Among many other topics, we discuss how investing in yourself forces you to commit to what you want, why millennials' habit of questioning authority is sparked by curiosity, and the importance of understanding that strategy and mindset go hand in hand and you can't have one without another. 

In 2010, Renu came to Australia with only $100 to her name. She arrived newly married with no family, except her husband. Her first job was as a waitress at a fish and chips shop. Today, she runs a successful coaching practice and is guiding moms from all over the world to reignite their passions and monetize them. Her signature program, More Than Mums has helped mothers from all corners of the globe renew their identities, reignite their passions, realign their visions, refine business strategies, receive rewards and returns on their investment to reclaim their authentic selves.
