How do you create from soul? And more specifically, when it comes to our business, how do we learn to trust our intuition and fuse a divine sense of knowing into the work that we do?

Listeners of Soul Inspiring Business are in for a treat this episode as Kara is in conversation with her business coach and mentor, Jen Cudmore. 

Jen is an ‘Entrepreneur Alignment and High Level Success Coach’, or a ‘Business Kinesiologist’ – she uses her healing powers to help people bridge the gap between their life purpose and money-making ambitions. 

Today we learn that there isn't actually a gap to be bridged! Rather we should imagine how we show up in the world (and the work that we do), and our material ambitions (how we plan to make money), as two separate train tracks, running parallel with each other, both needing their own care and separate attention.

Or to put it more succinctly in Jen's words, "Manifest money. Making a difference." Full stop. Separate sentences. 

Learn how to get in 'flow' with your business so that things come more naturally to you in this seminal episode that will surely help shift things for you in your personal, business, and spiritual life. 

There's also a powerful energy-clearing meditation with Jen at the end of the episode that you can listen to whenever you feel the need.

How can you be the highest expression of yourself? And how can you do that in a way that creates maximum impact for the greater good of humanity and the people you serve? 

Kara is asking the big philosophical questions of us today as we look to course correct by creating time and space to consider where there is room for improvement in our lives. 

Welcome to the 4th quarter and the growth and expansion season that is upon us as we look forward to 2024! This is a time of reflection where we get to look back on what has worked well, as well as what we can improve upon.

Kara is back from the Soul Inspiring Business Retreat that was held recently in Colorado. With her, she is bringing the lessons, insights, and inspiration that she gleaned from her time away that she has distilled into the four top takeaways as we seek to create our vision for 2024. 

How are we showing up energetically? How do we go about dreaming into a bigger vision, and how do you train your team on that so that they show up with the right intentionality and purpose?

How do we get into bigger rooms with bigger thinkers, avoiding the negative, small-minded thinking that might be holding us back? 

Who do we share our vulnerabilities with as we learn that empathy and compassion are the keys to our growth? And lastly, how do we create the time and space required to serve our highest good, on a daily basis, without having to go on a retreat to see our bigger picture?

With the wind in her sails, Kara is here to blow meaning and infuse inspiration into your 4th quarter with four philosophical insights that can be practically applied to you and your business. May you continue to grow and expand, no matter what is going on in the world.

 "Energy is everything." ~ Kara Chaffin Donofrio

In This Episode:

• How are we 'showing up' with the right intentionality? 
• Why your 'net worth' is determined by your network
• 'No matter what is going on in the world, my business continues to grow and expand'
• Appreciating the opportunity that being vulnerable and open to growth offers us
• Learning how to take time away from your business to see the bigger picture
• How can you be the highest expression of yourself?

What does it mean to find yourself at a crossroads in life? This is a theme that has cropped up a lot recently with the people that Kara has encountered: people who are looking for more balance in their careers or in search of a new direction.

The power of personal intuition is delicately addressed by Kara in this timely reminder that often when we go in search of the 'expert' to offer us advice, we ignore our own inner wisdom and guidance. 

Sometimes we put that self-help guru or friend on a pedestal and take their advice when it's actually not what we need at that time. Sometimes we take someone else's advice because it's easier than listening to our gut and showing true discernment. 

Trust in the 'asking' next time you find yourselves at a crossroads. Clarity for what you want is found in the asking. Then let go of the ways in which your questions and needs will be met. 

Play with the power of your personal intuition by listening to it the next time you find yourself at a crossroads. Be open to asking, trusting, and receiving. And remember: you are a uniquely powerful creator. Please join us!

 "How can we really ask and further define what it is that we want to create?" ~ Kara Chaffin Donofrio

In This Episode:

• Learning to listen to our own personal intuition
• How do we learn what is true for ourselves?
• Understanding intuition as a learned skill (and practicing it)
• 'Ask and you shall Receive, Seek and you shall Find'
• The power of prayer: Kara shares a personal anecdote
• Letting go of the way we expect the answers to show up
• Remembering to practice gratitude for what you received

How do we show up in the world in an authentic way that allows us to create impact and make a difference in the lives of others? And can we do that while also setting big financial goals? 

In today's insightful episode of Soul Inspiring Business, Kara is sharing a way of viewing money and the way we show up to earn that money as two distinctly different things. If you've ever had someone try to sell you something from a place of desperation, you will understand and appreciate the distinction that Kara is asking us to make.

Drawing on some of the philosophies of her business energy coach and friend, Jen Cudmore, Kara is first drawing our attention to the fact that energy is everything. 

Energy has the power to transform and/or destroy, which relates in turn to how we show up in the world. The energy we bring to our work can either magnify or nullify what we are already doing.

And in an increasingly overwhelming AI world, bringing your authentic soul and a higher level of vibrational frequency is what will set you up for increased success. 

Dividing your energetic intention between your money goals and the way you intend to create impact is the secret to success that Kara has personally experienced.

So how does she do it exactly? And how can you? Please join us to learn the three conscious creation techniques that Kara applies to her money goals and how she wants to show up in the world in this eloquent and impactful episode of Soul Inspiring Business that will soon have you enjoying your manifesting walks while marveling at the synchronicity and abundance of all that is on offer for you. 

 "You are a magnet for the things that you are in energetic alignment to." ~ Kara Chaffin Donofrio

In This Episode:

• Appreciating the power of manifestation
• An introduction to the work of Jen Cudmore
• Seeing money and the work you do as two separate entities

Three questions to ask yourself each morning (when looking to create impact in your work):

1. What are the key items that I need to get done today to move the business forward toward growth?
2. What needs my attention the most today?
3. Where can I make the greatest impact (in my business, with my clients, with my team, and in the world)?

What does it feel like when you're down and out in business to know in your heart that you're only in the middle of your story, and that better times lie ahead? 

This is the personal story of the wonderfully warm-hearted Josh McCallen, a father to ten kids and a man who helps foster and develop an investor community by educating investors on real estate opportunities. 

Josh shares how he was living in Austria with his wife, running a hotel property, and returned to the US in 2006 and became a broker of loans. He started asking questions about partnering with developers and sharing in the equity appreciation. 

Questions led to conversations which led to relationships and soon he went from talking about building properties to actually building properties!

Then the recession hit, he lost it all, but never lost his faith. Thankful for the support his loving wife, he knew this was only the middle of their story..not the end.

Learn all about how the stars aligned for Josh as he turned a dilapidated wine estate in Jersey into a thriving outdoor wedding venue during the COVID years, and how Josh is now creating exponential wealth building for families through his quarterly 'learn and grow investment summits'. 

All in this week's episode of Soul Inspiring Business where resilience meets resourcefulness on the road to untold riches. Join us & share with others that need to hear this message as well!. 

 "My eyes were opened to the fact that normal families – families that have income but that are not mega-wealthy, have reserves – can actually meet a status that the government created, called 'accredited'. 

And once you're an accredited investor (which means you have several hundred thousand dollars of annual income or you have a million dollars of total assets), that means you're allowed to invest in private deals that are syndicated by people like us." ~ Josh McCallen

In This Episode:

• When did Josh first see real estate as an investment for his family?
• The smart move of learning to build high-end luxury homes by being onsite

In today’s show, I’ll share a powerful exercised and visualization technique that allows you to both ground into the present moment and also access your own intuition and the wisdom that lives in and around of us all the time. 

Whether you’re conscious of it or not…you are a powerful creator…you are also capable of accessing an inner wisdom that already knows all the right answers for you in each moment…answers that allow you to move forward in your business and life from the place of your own highest potentiality. Imagine how expansive that could be…if you operated from that place of knowing

However, too often…we turn outside for answers b/c we either are not aware incredibly powerful we are or we dont know how to access our own intuitive guidance system.

So today I’m sharing with you a very simple practice that I hope will give you the confidence to return home to you…to your highest potentiality…and to levels of infinite intelligence. 

It’s also important to mention that intuition is actually a muscle that improves the more we learn to trust and use it. Self doubt can be normal when opening to trusting your own inner guidance, and as you continue to return to this practice..you will become more aware and attuned to the guidance that lives within you and what it is trying to message to you….

And it all starts now…

“I do believe that in each of us, we have such infinite power, and opportunity, and expansion potential.” ~ Kara Donofrio 

In This Episode:

• Appreciating the power of our own intuition
• Learning to discern what information to filter out 
• The value of tools (such as meditation) for helping us come back into alignment
• How being grounded can help us be more present to access a universal intelligence
• Kara’s Grounding Technique – A Demonstration

How do super-wealthy families keep accruing more wealth, generation after generation? What is the secret that the rest of all seem to be missing out on? M.C. Loubscher is the host of the popular podcast Cash Flow Ninja, and founder of Producer’s Wealth, which helps business owners operate a cashflow management system known as the Infinite Banking Concept.

M.C. know the secrets of the super-rich and he’s generously sharing his strategies, tactics, and techniques to invest your money more wisely so that you create genuine Sovereignty, Freedom, and Legacy with the money you earn and invest.

This may sound too good to be true, but the real truth is that family offices that have been around since the Civil War era have survived more than their fair share of financial crises. As M.C. is at pains to point out, why do family offices buy as much life insurance as their carriers will underwrite them? 

M.C. goes on to remind us that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself. So ask yourself: is your money really working for you? And how reliant are you on a central banking system that is prone to global economic pressure?

There’s a better way to invest your money through family offices that is M.C.’s Infinite Banking system. This episode of Soul Inspiring Business bridges the information and will bring great value to you, our dear listener. That’s a promise. Please join us.

“It’s easy from a mindset perspective to get sucked into the doom and gloom and fall into that scarcity mindset. Whereas if you look at all of these massive dangers and challenges that are in the marketplace as opportunities, well now all of a sudden you have a mindset of abundance.” ~ M.C. Laubscher

In This Episode:

• How growing up in post-apartheid South Africa shaped M.C’s critical thinking
• Why does history keep repeating itself? 
• How to adopt a mindset of abundance
• Understanding Sovereignty, Freedom, and Legacy (as M.C’s three key financial strategies)
• The prudence of de-centralizing from failing systems
• The importance of diversifying your income stream
• What does M.C.’s Infinite Banking system involve? 
• Why aren’t people talking about this? Critiquing the information gap

How can we empower our children so that they can unleash their full potential as they grow up in a challenging world? 

Leesa McGregor is the author of a children's book entitled 'A New Alphabet for Humanity'. She is a social entrepreneur who is empowering the next generation and inspiring positive change through her thinking, writing, and doing. 

Leesa is sharing her personal journey of how she came to face the nagging question of how she could personally contribute to the health and well-being of the people on this planet. Why if she was so 'successful' in her job, was she feeling so unfulfilled?

This is a lesson in reminding ourselves to keep improving the quality of our lives by improving the quality of our questions. Through journalling and raising children, Leesa has been able to keep searching for her life's purpose and aligning that search with a divine manifestation (publishing a book on life wisdom) that is also a  movement for positive change.

Our host Kara delicately reflects and affirms Leesa's spiritually astute insights in an episode of Soul Inspiring Business that will have us all searching for greater meaning as we go about our lives with renewed hope and vigor. A is for Abundance. Please join us.

 "If we come back to that principle: that we're here to love and we're here to serve in some way, then we give ourselves opportunities to open that up and say 'well, what does that look like?'" ~ Leesa McGregor

Are you struggling with burnout? Do you understand what adrenal fatigue practically means? Today’s guest is Dr. Erin Kinney, a naturopathic doctor, speaker, coach, and podcast host of The Dr. Kinney Show. She is passionate about helping others understand their bodies and is in conversation with Kara today about how to prevent burnout and cope with anxiety. 

When you wake up feeling like you are ready to take on the day, you have an appropriate amount of cortisol and adrenaline coursing through your body. After all, we are designed to cope with some stress. If that’s not the case, it’s because we keep pushing our body’s "on" button, not giving it time to ‘rest and digest’ after a period of exertion (when we’re in ‘fight or flight’ mode). 

Being stuck in ‘stress mode’ isn’t sustainable in the long term. While our bodies can carry us for a long time, it’s wisest to prevent burnout by taking some enjoyable, proactive steps that allow your body time to recover and relax. 

Dr. Kinney’s tips will go a long way toward helping you enjoy a more stress-free life, where you can manifest your full potential and become a more expansive version of yourself.  This episode is just the tonic you need to unwind after a busy day.

 “I think more than ever now, given the past three years that we’ve been in this weird post-pandemic life, burnout is more common.” ~ Dr. Erin Kinney

In This Episode:

• What do we mean by adrenal fatigue? Understanding cortisol and adrenaline
• Is anxiety a symptom of burnout?
• The value of meditating five minutes a day to build up cortisol
• How the simple things make the biggest difference
• The joy of daydreaming as a form of intentional meditation
• Why manifesting is so much harder when you’re in a burnout state
• How do get to the bigger, more expansive version of ourselves?
• Are there any apps that Dr. Kinney recommends?
• Why magnesium is so important to function properly

Have you been involved in conversations about AI that have left you wondering how it’s likely to affect your job? There’s a lot of new information out there that can seem overwhelming at times, and today’s guest, Leo Chen (former tech industry expert turned Orange County realtor), is in conversation with Kara about the future of AI in a lighthearted way that makes it seem less daunting for us.

Especially if you find yourself in the real estate industry, the opportunity exists to embrace AI as a tool to experiment with, rather than seeing it as a threat. AI will never be able to do the handholding that real estate agents are so great at when interacting with new clients. But can it assist you with conceptualizing a marketing campaign, or telling a story? 

From Leo’s background as a Taiwanese immigrant to his successful career in tech, Leo Chen brings a warm sensibility to today’s topic as he dances to his own tune while encouraging us to do the same as we use AI as a sounding board in the latest ‘great revolution’ we are fortunate enough to be living through. Please join us!

“I think as human beings, we’re going to unleash our creativity as to what’s possible, with assistance that can, you know, put it all together and show us what it looks like." 

- Leo Chen

In This Episode:

• On being a Taiwanese immigrant who came to the US at 11 years old
• How the PC revolution in the late 90s led to a career in tech
• Understanding the human side of real estate that tech can never replace
• Open AI - ChatGPT — an easy-to-understand explanation
• Understanding AI as a tool to experiment with and explore our creativity
• What opportunities exist to use AI in real estate?
