"Our story is our essence, and we're just translating that for other people, and there's just no way to steal that because there's only one of us."

I was talking with one of my personal clients today, and she was really hung up on the fear of stealing other people's work.

If someone else is doing something, does that mean you can't?

Here is my take on the concept of "stealing someone's idea" in this episode.

“You can't give from overflow if there is no overflow. You having less for the sake of other people, feeling like at least they can relate to you doesn't actually help them. You having more does not give them less.”

This episode comes from a community member asking a great question about fairness and having more while others have less. What if you are trying to manifest your dream life, but have guilt of having overflow when others have less?

Well, let’s talk about it!

I wanna do more stages. I just wanna share my message in more places.

More people need to know the opportunities that are available to them, especially around the conversation with rapid resolution therapy and emotional suffering.

I'm so passionate. I'll never shut up about it. You guys know that. And so I was telling my speaking coach I hired I'm really excited because I keep asking for opportunities to just speak in front of other people's audiences, asking the universe.

And I was like, give me a mic and I'll take it and I'll share my message.

Audience size does not matter. When you have a message that you truly want to get in front of people it does not matter the size of the audience.

Here’s the thing… you have the mic. The mic is the metaphor of the resources that are already in front of you and the size of your audience or platform does not matter. What causes that urge inside of you is meant to be put out into the world in your own unique way.

Elliott Lea is a client in one of my group coaching programs and the way she teaches astrology really resonates with me and that is why I wanted to bring her onto the podcast to talk about understanding communication through the lens of relationship using astrology as a tool to better understand our loved ones.

Astrology, the study of celestial bodies and their influence on human affairs, can be a seductive tool for enhancing relationships and communication. By delving into the complexities of each person's birth chart, one can unlock a deeper understanding of their own and their partner's unique characteristics and tendencies. This knowledge can pave the way for a more intimate and passionate connection, as you learn to appreciate each other's strengths and vulnerabilities. Astrology can also offer tantalizing insights into each other's deepest desires and motivations, allowing for more meaningful and fulfilling interactions. So why not let the stars guide you on a journey of exploration and discovery, as you unlock the secrets of the universe and connect with your lover in ways that are both profound and alluring.

I knew this conversation was going to be one that dove into a lot of personal examples and we hope that you listening into this encourages you to get intimate with your & your loved ones specific charts.

When on a weight loss journey, it can be empowering to start with a desired feeling rather than just a number on the scale.

Rather than solely focusing on reaching a certain weight or dress size, think about how you want to feel in your body.

Maybe you want to feel energized, confident, or strong start with the feeling and then move with aligned action.

By identifying these desired feelings, you can create a more meaningful and motivating goal. When you prioritize feeling good, you're more likely to make healthy choices that support your overall well-being. Focusing on desired feelings can help shift your mindset from a negative, restrictive mindset to a more positive, empowering one, ultimately leading to more sustainable and enjoyable weight loss.

The nervous system plays a critical role in our body's ability to digest food and manage weight. When we experience stress, our nervous system responds by triggering the fight or flight response, which can slow down digestion and negatively impact our ability to lose weight. When the body is in a state of stress, it redirects blood flow away from the digestive system and towards the muscles, lungs, and heart, preparing the body for physical activity. This response can lead to a range of digestive issues. Chronic stress can lead to hormonal imbalances, such as increased levels of cortisol, which can contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.

Therefore, managing stress, through practices such as Rapid Resolution Therapy, regulating your nervous system can be a very beneficial tool for achieving weight loss goals.

She has helped her clients live off cash, increase their income, increase their credit scores, and help them find money in their everyday lives. Most of all, she continues to help women become confident with their money habits and ability to know that they have what it takes to create the life they want. She also shares her inspiring story of being $3 away from bankruptcy to now self made millionaire, so no matter where you are at financially this episode resonate with you in some way.

When I met Pastor Courage Molina at an in-person event I saw her confidently stand in who she is and I wanted to bring her onto the podcast to talk about the constructs of being a Christian and building wealth.

Courage Molina is Pastor of Bold Faith Church that will teach you how to hear the voice of God so that you can fully commit to the call on your life. She leads the Courageous Disciples Membership where you can learn how to develop your faith in a way that will help you take bold and consistent action towards growth in every area of your life helping you become a woman of massive impact to answer the call on your life.

This conversation dives right into the uncomfortable things most Christians don’t want to talk about, like building massive wealth, altruistic selfishness, abundance in all areas of life, does a desire for wealth make you an evil person, bolding living out your unique purpose, and so much more.

Its a conversation that will have you laughing with us and feeling fired up to do the thing you know are meant to do after listening!
