As a creative, have you ever said to yourself "I'm lucky to be doing what I love so therefore I sacrifice the income?" That is something that my guest Polly Alexandre used to tell herself all the time, but it came to a point where she realized she had to clear her money blocks. In this episode, she tells us how we can do it while being gentle with ourselves and valuing ourselves as creatives, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bottom line is: We're all going to be ok.

Key Quotes from This Episode:

"What makes one person abundant could be $50k a year and working 2 days per week, and what makes someone else abundant could be a minimum of a million and they don't feel abundant if they're only doing $700k. Define what is an abundant life to you, and then look at what amount of money that requires to create the environment you want to exist in."

"Money is just one part of abundance, but it does buy a huge amount of freedom and choices."

"We're all on a spiritual journey right now. You have to dig deep right now because the whole world is saying 'there's not enough' right now."

Join me and my guest Lannie Reid for a fascinating conversation that will connect you to the "other side." Lannie is an intuitive medium, teacher, and healer who is passionate about speaking with angels. In this conversation, she clears up what exactly a guardian angel is, how you can know that angels are present, and what you can do in the face of doubt.

Key Quotes from This Episode:

"My purpose on this planet is to teach others how they can ask angels for support in their lives so they know they're not alone."

"Everybody does have their own angel. That is my belief. Everybody has angels all around them and everybody has their own specifically guardian angel."

"A guardian angel can be somebody that has passed over and then they come and [guard somebody] but to me, a guardian angel has been with you through all your past lives and they know you on a soul level and they're here to guide you."

In this conversation with Cherie Burton, we're talking about a few different things, including emotional healing and mental health. Cherie, an emotional wellness expert, tells us how she has a pronounced family history of mental illness and how a string of suicides by loved ones drew her to studying psychology. In her studies, she wanted to crack the code of why people were not getting well, and we take a deep dive into that topic. She also answers the questions how important are periods of rest and rebuilding? How can we have important conversations and human connection even during a global pandemic? And how is the pandemic actually a gift to us?

Key Quotes from This Episode:

"We're experts because we lived through something, not because we sat in a classroom traditional and studied it."

"Your mess is your message. Whatever the universe has served up to you in the forms of trauma or dysfunction or what have you, it morphs into, in some way, what you're meant to share, teach, bless, lift, heal the planet."

"We are more productive when we go into cycles of rest and rebuilding."

Cassie Parks is a manifester extraordinaire. She created a program to attract money when she needed it, then did the program while she wrote it - and she tells us all about it in this episode. We get down to the real truth of where money blocks come from, and how it's really pretty simple to attract the wealth you desire by setting intentions as goals. You'll also find out about a boudoir shoot using $10,000 worth of real bills and how Jimmy Choos factor into Cassie's journey to wealth!

Key Quotes from This Episode:

"You have to be the person who has that experience if you're going to get that experience."

"You have to do the work to feel and open and own your own value, but you can have a conversation with your partner. It doesn't make it just about you and feeling guilt and shame, it starts to open up that conversation."

"Money can find you. It doesn't have to come through the traditional ways that we think."

Dr. Orlena Kerek joins me on my newest podcast episode to tell me and the listeners all about rebooting your health and wellness. We focus on the 4 pillars of wellness that she has identified - nutrition, exercise, sleep, and emotional wellness, and how you can make adjustments in these areas in our lives and even get our kids on board. She also breaks down an experience of mine to explain how our emotional wellness can spiral downwards but also how we can consciously create a spiral upwards into positivity again.

Key Quotes from This Episode:

"From the age of 40 onwards, we lose muscle mass. Osteoporosis starts now and we need to start doing exercise so we're fit and have muscle tone and bone strength so we don't put ourselves in danger in the future."

"When you talk about negativity, it makes sense that our brains are geared to protect us. It's about danger. Our brains are basically this mechanism of survival. But the good news is that once you're aware of it, there are loads of things you can do by just being aware of it and create positive thoughts and generate positive emotion."

"Ask yourself if something is the truth. We love to fantasize, we love to create all of these different what ifs and these negative thoughts and negative fantasies and we believe it. Check in with yourself. Ask yourself, 'Is this the truth right now? Right now, what is the actual truth of what you're going through?'"

Being a victim of narcissistic abuse is relatively unknown in the medical community, but my guest Suzanna Quintana wants to set the record straight. A survivor of 2 abusive relationships, she knows all about what narcissism is, what it isn't, and how to recognize it. When you're done with this episode, you will know whether or not you are dealing with a narcissist in your life.

Key Quotes From This Episode:

"I didn't know I was a victim of abuse until the tail end, when I found a psychologist who told me I was."

"You don't even realize what's happening to you as it's happening. It's the frog in a pot of cool water. The frog is totally happy because the frog likes cool water, but you turn the heat to boil, it takes some time, and by the time the frog realizes what's happening, it's too late. That's exactly what narcissistic abuse is."

"Narcissists know exactly what they're doing. If you are not a narcissist, you do not deliberately try to hurt the person you love."

Key Quotes From This Episode:

"We're not designed to feel horrendous and overanxious. That's not a way that we're designed to exist, so when we are feeling that way, our survival mechanism is to try to bring that down to a more balanced level, and food in this case is seeing a purpose, bu tit also has a side effect, which is more calories than people are used to taking in."

"This may be a very temporary period and not necessarily disordered or an eating disorder because it's very specific to the current environment. It's so out of the norm of anything we've experienced."

"What was our set weight when we were 20 or 25 is a little bit different to when we're 40 or 50 or 60 because of a multitude of factors."

"Weight is a range and we may not want to embrace that but there has to be some kind of acceptance around it and moving beyond just body image and weight on a scale even though society tells us it's so damn important, especially for women."

Key Quotes From This Episode:

"You have to develop a thick skin and know that not everyone is going to like you but the majority of the people will. Focus on 'I'm doing this for the people who need to hear my message' versus 'Oh my god, what if that one person out of a thousand people doesn't like me?'"

"I like to define authenticity as being aligned with your values."
