In this episode, I want to share a couple of quick lies, misconceptions or truths about motivation. We spend time waiting to be motivated or inspired and this is a slippery slope that is likely going nowhere or completely backwards.

In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Motivation is a byproduct and a result of doing an action that makes you feel motivated. It never just happens and it isn’t something that you have and someone else doesn’t. 2) Motivation is unreliable because it's based on so many factors that we can't always know for sure. One day, you might be feeling extremely motivated. The next day you want to lay in bed all day for no good reason. Motivation is often also based on our energy levels which change from time to time, day by day.

3) Motivation never lasts, it is not how you feel that will determine your result, it is what you do.

In this episode, we are speaking with Neuropsychologist, Dr. Julia DiGangi.  Dr. DiGangi is a neuropsychologist who shows you how to expand the power of your nervous system to hold more emotional voltage. As a brain scientist, Dr. Julia knows that your nervous system is your portal to power.  She will show you how to take the pain in your life--your stress, your struggle and your suffering--and transform it into your power.

In this episode, I am sharing the differences between the fear of success and the fear of failure, how to see the roots of it and how to reframe it to see it differently.

In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Fear of failure relates to the feeling of not meeting our own expectations.  Fear of success relates to the belief we have in ourselves in our ability to hold our success, hold the growth and who we might lose in the process or how it might change our lives or relationships.  We also may feel the fear of judgment and what others will think or say about us when we change.  2) Explore the origins of the fears, see how and when it shows up, spend time visualizing success, manage the stress and anxiety and find a way to see it for what it is, a chance for our ego to keep us “safe” 3) Look for evidence or proof of how many times you have actually proven to yourself that you are capable and able to create this change in your life? The proof is there when you look for it.

In this episode, this is a personal one.  Today is our youngest son’s birthday and I want to share some of the lessons I have learned from being a mom.  My boys are 24 and 25 years old as of today, and it has me reminiscing and reflecting on all that I have learned from them, and how much they have taught me and shaped me into the person I am today.

In this episode, we discuss: 1)  First off there’s no manual, so I had to come to a place knowing that I was doing the best that I could.  I had to learn how to adapt, change in the moment and learn that what worked for one situation or circumstance might not work the same in the next scenario. Learning how to not judge their wins, losses or lessons, they are here to navigate their own way. 2) I have learned self compassion, surrender, and leaned into faith more than I ever believed I would be able to. Trusting myself to make very difficult decisions has been a steep learning curve. 

3) They are my best teachers, I have learned so much from them and allowing them to live their lives, make their own decisions and know that in that process  mistakes will be made too is normal. Let’s normalize pivoting and changing and knowing that we have the ability to stay standing on our feet in the process. 4) They aren’t ours to keep, they never were.  That means we have to give them space to make their mistakes and learn from them. I have always said “I cannot push or pull them through life, my job is to walk beside them and encourage them to keep going.”

Today we are speaking with Yoga, Sex + Death Creator + Facilitator, Founder of Samarasa Center, Susan Marrufo. Susan left the United States and a job in advertising in 2008 to travel internationally and experience life beyond the confines of her cultural conditioning. She received her first 500-hr yoga certification in Thailand in 2009, where she began her studies of the classical yogic scriptures and delved deeply into esoteric tantric philosophy.

After years of teaching month-long tantric based courses on the banks of the Ganges in India and the Pacific coastal towns of Mexico, Susan returned to the US to begin a residential internship with the Kripalu School of Yoga. She taught in and project managed several Kripalu yoga teacher trainings as well as received her 2nd 500-hr teacher training certification from the Kripalu School of Yoga in 2013.

She has since split her time between India, Thailand and the US, facilitating group courses in the inquiry of yoga, meditation, intimacy and shadow work before moving to Los Angeles in 2016 to open Samarasa Center - an online and in-person community of dedicated seekers.

In this episode we discuss:

1) Susan’s journey of overcoming trauma, learning to feel and not numb and a healing journey that has taken her all over the globe as well as building her own Yoga, Sex and Death certification program. 2) Trauma – how we think of trauma as an event when actually it is a response in our nervous system to the event.  When this happens our body differentiates pieces of the trauma and leaves these in our past and in our subconscious mind.  Healing requires supporting our subconscious mind and healing all the pieces of our past stories.

In this episode, I am sharing a quick episode on how the words we hear as a child, our experiences and struggles can actually circle back around to become the strengths in our adulthood. So many times our messages become and create the feelings of “limitations” and we let them stop us when actually they truly are our innate strengths. It is up to us to own them.

In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Trust, slow down, listen for the signs and know that the right words, names and titles will land. 2) What words were used to describe yourself when you were younger? How can you look at them and see them differently? 3) I shared a quick story about an overgrown flower bed, weeds, and a lawnmower.

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on the word alignment.  It’s a business buzzword that we hear all the time and I think we can all relate to the feelings of being in and out of alignment.  What if our misalignment is actually teaching us more than what we give it credit for?  What if it isn’t about failing, but it’s showing us what we want more or less of in our lives? 

In this episode, we discuss: 1)  What does alignment feel like? Can you think of times in your life and business that have you feeling so in alignment and working in joy and your gifts? 2) We can’t know what alignment is if we don’t know what misalignment is too. Those moments of misalignment can teach us so much about ourselves, such as our own needs, what feels good, what lights us up, what is and what isn’t working. 3) Coming back into alignment might be a simple 3 degrees shift, more yes’ or no’s to the things that light you up to bring you back into a space that feels good for you?

Today we are speaking with Self Mastery Coach, Andrea Lowell.  Andrea is a Self Mastery coach for women, whose life is built upon a foundation of relentless self honesty and awareness, gratitude, and harmonizing Universal and Spiritual Law. Many people assume Andrea was "born like this" and has lived a "charmed life," since she was in the entertainment industry for decades, and was surrounded by wealth and celebrity. However, that was in fact the low point of her life. It was a truly empty and vapid career, which only created emotional and spiritual bankruptcy. She had to hit an emotional rock bottom, and know what hopelessness felt like, in order to finally get real with herself, do the inner work, and actually cultivate a life to be grateful for. Andrea has not only mastered the blueprint for women to find true bliss, fulfillment, and personal power, but has been successfully coaching women from all walks of life on this exact path for a decade. Through practicing the Self Mastery lifestyle of integration and self honesty, she and her clients now are able to manifest miracles, diminish anxiety, have blissful relationships, and become the women they were put on earth to be. It's not for everyone, but the path of Self Mastery is the journey that will take women all the way up to the top!In this episode we dive into:

1) The meaning of Self-Mastery and how to stop relying on the outside world instead of yourself when it comes to finding and creating solutions for change in our lives. This is how we learn to take back our own personal power.

2) Andrea’s story and how for 16 years she wasn’t tapped into her own personal power and how a specific day in front of a mirror changed everything and led her to the work she does today to support so many other women.

In this episode, I want to share how it is possible to master your emotions.  Learning how to master your emotions is a powerful level of self-leadership and emotional intelligence that has made such an incredible difference in my life, business and energy. Learning these pieces of emotional intelligence has been a game changer in my life and business. This is not a journey about perfectionism, it is a journey of becoming a master pattern interrupter, a ninja!

In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Acknowledge, be aware and appreciate your emotions, no matter what they are.  Your emotions are not bad, they are a compass showing what you actually want more or less than in your life. Get curious, ask the questions, and don’t make them mean anything about you, because they don’t.  Treat your emotions with gratitude instead of resentment. 2) Brutal honesty about our self talk, recognizing if we would speak to anyone in that manner, or allow anyone to speak to us the way we speak to ourselves. Our response is a massive clue that we are not responding from our highest self, our best energy, etc.  There is a high and a low frequency to everything and it is our self-leadership that guides us in either direction. 3) Ownership, skills (what skills do you need) and self-leadership are the compass, beginning point of the emotional intelligence required in learning how to master my emotions.

In this episode, I want to share some thoughts on the term self-made? I can fully recognize that I have had privileges that some people do not and have not had. Many of us have. We have also overcome stories that maybe we never thought possible.  We can have grit, ambition and determination, but these traits are not solely the reasons for success. We can be humble, celebrate our success, cheer each other on, and realize we are not doing it alone. 

In this episode, we discuss: 1)  Can we please honour the work of the people who went before us, who believed in us, who showed us what was possible? 2) Self-made also attributes that we are doing it alone, and I’ve done life and business both ways and I would rather not do it alone.
