We struggle with time. 
Something you want to happen takes too much time.
Something you don’t want isn’t going away fast enough.
Here’s the thing about time to wrap your head around.
If you want to have more time, you have to let it go.
Yes, I know, it doesn’t make sense right?
Because we’ve been taught that if we want something, we go out and grab it, we take it, we control it, we hoard it, we keep and save it.
We definitely don’t just let it go, get away from us, leave us. We think doing that means we ‘lose’ it.
But that really is the secret to creating more time for all the things that are important to you.
Enough with all the productivity tools. They’re good, but they’re tools that support how you manage time.
They don’t create more time for you. YOU create more time for you.
Listen to today’s episode where I share the paradoxical nature of time and how to make more of it.

This week, I share my thoughts about what true freedom is.

We seek it, thinking if we had more money, more time, more energy, more success, more love, more this or that, it’ll solve our problems and we’ll live happily ever after.

Sure, you need basic necessities to live. 

I’ve met people with so little materially, yet are full of faith and believe in themselves.

I’ve also met people with so much, but live in so much fear that they’re going to run out.

This intrigues me. As I reflect on my life, what I’ve gone through and what I’ve learned and observed from others, I realized it isn’t just about how much you have or don’t have in your physical world.

It’s how you handle whatever cards you’re dealt with as you go through life that makes the difference. And this begins in your mind, your ability to handle your thoughts and therefore your feelings and the corresponding actions you take.

I interviewed Nathania Stambouli on this week’s podcast episode. 

Nathania Stambouli, founder and creator of Yogi Flight School and SoulTribe Adventures is a 500 E-RYT Yoga Teacher and Transformational Coach. She teaches people from around the world how to defy their perceived limitations and fly - on their hands and in their lives. She is a cat lady, lover of iced coffee and lives to lead people towards the most free and expressed version of who they are.

We talked about how Nathania quit her comfortable corporate job that she hated and what it was like for her to step out and finally do the work that she loves and the safety nets she put in place so she could get past the psychological barriers that made it scary for her to do this earlier. 

Nathania’s story is going to resonate with those of you who know you’re meant for something more, but feel afraid of leaving your current comfort zone. I love it that Nathania helps you overcome your mindset barriers through such a physical activity like yoga. You literally see in real time how what you once thought impossible is possible once you get out of your own way and see things from a different perspective! 

Remember to let Nathania know what insight you gained from this episode and follow her on @nattasticyoga on Instagram.

In today’s podcast, I talk about why positive thinking and affirmations don’t work. 

As someone who used to be very rationally and logically driven, positive thinking and affirmations sounded like fluffy stuff that perhaps worked for others, but not for a practical, grounded, working mom with a family to support.

But I found out it wasn’t that positive thinking itself doesn’t work. It’s when we don’t understand the mechanics of how our mind works and use it to help us rather than hinder us from creating the life we want that’s the crux of the problem. 

Understanding how your mind works, specifically how your thoughts can either help you get what you want or create more of what you don’t is key.

Listen to this week’s episode to learn how to use your mind and your thoughts to help you rather than stop you from getting what you want.

This episode was inspired by a question one of my clients had about how many coaching sessions she could expect to have before she’s done with coaching. I explain what coaching is and how you can benefit from having a coach.

You’ll also hear how my approach is slightly different from traditional coaching because I think we live in a world where too much weight is given to our conscious thinking that’s caused us to lose touch with our innate wisdom that knows what’s best for us.

We need to rebalance this by learning to trust our own innate wisdom which is our internal compass to take actions which are just right for us.

Listen to this episode to find out how you can begin to create the life you want from a more holistic approach.

No one taught us how to handle our emotions.

We go to school and learn lots of information, facts and how to use our rational mind to create plans and goals for what we want to achieve.

Where did you learn how to handle your emotions?

If you’re lucky, maybe your parents did this, or you had a wise mentor or teacher who shared their advice about this.

When you encounter difficulties in life that make you feel big, strong emotions like fear of failure, disappointment or rejection, how do you deal with it? 

In today’s episode, I share how your ability to handle your emotions is key to your success. Unlike what we’ve been conditioned to believe, especially for us women in the corporate world, being in touch with your feelings and using them to guide your decisions and actions doesn’t make you unreliable or unstable at work. 

Your ability to use your emotions to help you achieve your goals is the difference between being successful at creating the life you want and settling for less than what you envision for yourself. 

Listen to the episode where I share how leaning into my emotions has helped me achieve things I’d never imagined I could.

Many of you are familiar with your rational conscious mind. It’s what we’ve been taught to use a lot growing up and in school. It’s almost to a point where there’s now an imbalance between your conscious mind and your superconscious mind. We’re used to dismissing and disregarding our superconscious mind. This is the part of us that some people refer to as your innate wisdom, your intuition or your higher level of consciousness. 

The interesting thing is that as kids, we’re very in tune with this part of ourselves. But over time, dealing with the disappointments and ‘harsh reality’ of life has conditioned us to push this aside as being unrealistic or unreliable to create the life we want. 

Instead, we believe that it’s our rational, logical mind that’s more important in helping us achieve goals. Sure, this is the part of us that’s needed to make plans and take actions. But that should be done in consultation with our superconscious mind, rather than to push away or ignore this part of us. 

So what is this superconscious mind anyway and how can you use it to create the life you want? Tune in to this week’s episode where I answer these questions. 

My guest this week is Christine Looi, a divorcee with 3 kids. Christine was retrenched from a high paying job, and subsequently faced financial instability and eventually lost hope.

With a proper mindset, accepting help, and acknowledging that change needs to be done to move on with life, she overcame her problems. 

Since then, Christine has been inspired to create a community to help support and empower women to grow not just physically but emotionally. She’s also become a strong advocate in the parenting and charity community. 

I spoke to Christine this week to get behind her thoughts and mindset about how she managed to bounce back from what life threw at her to build NRSC, a growing platform empowering women, creating opportunities for women to become financially free and build connections and community.

Listen to the episode to learn more about this energetic and passionately inspiring woman!

This is the final step in the 4-step podcast mini series to tap into your feminine energy.

This is the all important step to get different results.

We often think it’s what we’re ‘doing’ that needs to change to get the results we want.

Either we do more, or we change what we’re doing, thinking that’s what’s going to make the difference.

While action is important, it’s the kind of action that matters too.

And the kind of action you take is determined by the quality of your thoughts that reflect your beliefs, your identity, and your values, all of which can be affected by our past experiences.

More importantly, the emotions and meanings we’ve associated with those past experiences.

Listen to this week’s episode to find out more about how you can shift your thoughts so you can take the kind of different actions to get you what you want.

Today’s episode is step 3 of the 4 steps to tap into your feminine energy.

This step is all about ‘knowing’.

I share the different levels of knowing. There’s the ‘knowing’ where we amass information and head knowledge.

Then there’s a ‘knowing’ that’s what we feel certain about. Like the wind, or gravity, which we can’t see or touch, but we know it’s there because we feel it.

Listen to this episode to find out more about tapping into this deeper level of ‘knowing’ to help you get the results you want.
