Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, exhaustion, fear, and loneliness. These are common challenges women experience as they trailblaze their pathway to flourishing. Although the women’s movement has come a long way, there are still many social and economic issues that hinder a woman’s ability to fully flourish.  

March is the month we celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, so it was the perfect time to have a conversation with Dr. Michelle Morkert, a women’s leadership coach and strategist, with a PhD in women’s and gender studies, about how the patriarchy operates in our lives, and what we can do to empower ourselves and trailblaze a path toward flourishing.

Dr. Michelle Morkert partners with women leaders around the world to level up their careers, have an impact on their professional field, and work with joy. Dr. Michelle synthesizes her academic research, advanced certification in confidence and confidence coaching, and her own lived experience into individualized leadership coaching so that women can show up, stand up and speak up in any room.

Are you being true to yourself and living the life you truly want? Are you living in alignment with your true self?

It’s so easy to get caught in the trap of living the life we think we’re supposed to be living, rather than the life we truly want.  Listen in on my conversation with Marilyn Green, where she shares a big leap and retired early from a secure career in education, to run her dream life coaching practice.  We talk about how she courageously made some big changes in her personal and professional life to start living the life she really wanted. Learn how Marilyn spent the past 15 years creating a life that is in alignment with who she truly is at her core.

Through challenging inner voices and negative thoughts, finding joy, connecting with one’s own inner voice, making small changes from a place of alignment, and believing in their own worth, Marilyn encourages women to give themselves the freedom to flourish.

One of the pathways to flourishing is to create more meaning and purpose in our lives. One way to do this is to connect with our spiritual side. When we listen to our inner wisdom and inner voice, it allows us to connect to our higher purpose and our higher self. This helps us to flourish, because it can lead us along a spiritual path that can lead to more meaning, purpose and fulfillment in our lives.

Join me for a conversation with Carolyn Hidalgo, where we talk about the importance of connecting with our soul and our spirit. Learn how to tap into your higher self, how to embrace the values of Truth, Beauty and Goodness, and how to build your spiritual muscle, so you can align with your higher purpose, co-create with the divine, and become a powerful player in the game of life.

Carolyn Hidalgo is a former business executive who decided to follow her passion, which led to her becoming a Soul Relationship Coach. Carolyn is a certified life coach, who received her life coach certification with the Co-active Training Institute. Carolyn is also certified in hypnosis and past life regression. She’s married, and is a mom to 3 beautiful adult children, who are all pursuing their post-secondary studies. In her work, Carolyn focuses on the mind, body, spirit and soul, and helps her coaching clients to trust their inner truth. Carolyn’s vision is to help people live judgment free in their relationships, especially their relationship with themselves.

Here are some of the topics we discuss:

● The journey Carolyn took to finding her true self

● The meaning behind 11:11, connecting to the spiritual world beyond the physical realm

● Exploring our inner truth through our values and life experiences

● Exploring the difference between the soul and the spirit

● Connecting with divine creativity

● Navigating a spiritual path

● Fostering a connection with our higher self

● Discovering your inner spark to flourish in your life

Quote from Christiane Northrup’s book - Making Life Easy: How the Divine Inside Can Heal Your Body and Life (2016) by Christiane Northrup, MD:

“When we acknowledge the Divine part of ourselves - God coming through us as us - the whole ball game changes. Life just works. If we align and co-create with the Divine - our Souls and our Spirits - life becomes a grand and exciting adventure of consciously bringing Spirit into matter and reveling in our bodies. We are no longer ignorant victims of our circumstances. We are powerful players in the game of life.”- Christiane Northrup, MD
