  • Interview with Lorena Garfi, Certified Authenticity Coach (Ep. 6)

    In this energizing episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with Lorena Garfi, a former top model who campaigned for designers across the globe then transitioned into stand up comedy and is now certified Authenticity Coach through the Jay Shetty Certification School, a wife and mom of three! Tune in for this energetic and soul fueling conversation!

    Podcast Takeaways

    1. Lorena inspires us to listen to ourselves and follow our own dreams, regardless of the opinions of others. She also reminds us that we are all on our own path, our own journey and to allow our loved ones the space to find their authentic selves on their own timeline.

    2. Lorena reminds us to have the courage to get into action and explore different interests in order to find what authentically feels right for each of us.

      Meet Our Guest

      Lorena Garfi is an authenticity coach who specializes in helping clients uncover their true selves. She recognizes that in today's society, individuals often find themselves caught up in the demands of societal expectations, motherhood, marriage, and careers. There is a pervasive belief that neglecting one's own needs is a selfless act, and prioritizing oneself is seen as selfish and unloving. Many people live their lives wearing masks, pretending to be someone they're not, and hiding their true selves in order to please others and seek validation from external sources. This leads to a sense of feeling trapped, unsatisfied, and resentful.

      Lorena's mission is to inspire individuals to embark on a new chapter in their lives, reconnect with their purpose, express themselves authentically, and find the confidence and courage to take control of their own destinies. She believes that by shining their light and manifesting their dreams, individuals can inspire others to discover their own truths and unleash their wildest aspirations.

      With a background as a former fashion model and stand-up comedian, Lorena has personally experienced the impact of not being true to oneself. In the pursuit of success, beauty, and fame, she witnessed how individuals can lose touch with what truly matters – the connection to oneself and the world around them. This disconnection from one's own life leads to feelings of emptiness and a lack of fulfillment, even if one's external circumstances may appear perfect.

      Through her coaching and guidance, Lorena empowers individuals to answer the call of their hearts and find harmony in their lives. She helps them break free from the constraints of societal expectations and embrace their authentic selves. Lorena's aim is for her clients to leave behind the life they have always dreamed of, discovering a newfound sense of purpose, connection, and self-fulfillment.

      Lorena guides clients towards living a life true to themselves, inspiring them to reclaim their dreams, needs, and desires. Through her own journey and professional expertise, she helps others overcome feelings of being trapped and unsatisfied, enabling them to rediscover their true selves and experience a sense of fulfillment and connection in their lives.

    3. Interview with Kevin Castillo, Certified Purpose Coach (Ep. 5)

      In this inspiring podcast episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with Kevin, a remarkable individual who has overcome significant challenges to create a fulfilling life and make a positive impact on others. As a Certified Purpose Coach his purpose is to "help you find yours." Tune in!

      Podcast Takeaways

      1. Kevin discusses the idea of making “to be” lists rather than “to do” lists. This allows us to find purpose and to be true to ourselves.
      2. Kevin shares the concept of life happening for us not to us and demonstrates this reframe in all areas of his life. He reminds us that no matter what challenges we face, we can choose to practice gratitude.
      3. Kevin has many ways to fuels his soul. One of his favorite ways is through music. Some of his favorite artist include J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Drake!
      4. Meet Our Guest

        Growing up in a disadvantaged neighborhood in the New York City Metropolitan Area, Kevin faced numerous obstacles. From having an underrepresented background to being raised by a single mother working tirelessly to provide for three children, the odds seemed stacked against him. However, Kevin's determination and resilience never wavered. Instead, he used his challenging circumstances as fuel to create a vision for a better future.

        With his family's well-being as his biggest priority, Kevin made a vow to dream big, stay focused, and do whatever it took to turn his vision into reality. After relocating to a new city for work, he finally had the opportunity to reflect on his life and purpose. It was during this introspective journey that Kevin's vision for Cast Coaching was born.

        As a Certified Life & Success Coach, Kevin is committed to helping adults break free from limiting beliefs and embark on a path of self-exploration and discovery. Having completed his certification from the prestigious Jay Shetty Certification School, Kevin has honed his signature coaching methods to help individuals unlock their untapped potential and strive towards becoming the best versions of themselves.

        Kevin's dedication to his craft is truly awe-inspiring. Over the course of more than 10 months, he has devoted over 5760 hours to coaching, engaged in 135+ hours of self-study and self-reflection, invested 250+ hours in practicing mindfulness, meditation, and breath-work, and facilitated transformational 1:1 coaching sessions for over 75 clients.

        Some Takeaways

        1. Juan discusses the struggles former athletes experience when transitioning from having their sport as their identity to finding themselves and a greater purpose.

        3. A helpful tool: Juan asking clients to think of a few people in their lives they trust to give honest feedback about themselves. This technique allows the client to use the information shared by loved ones as a sounding board to gain greater self awareness and an identity outside of being “only” an athlete or former athlete.

Juan earned his coaching certification through the Jay Shetty certification school.

          As a husband and father of two, Juan knows firsthand the importance of living a fulfilling and purposeful life beyond sports by understanding your priorities and making decisions accordingly.

        6. Sunday SoulDay Interview with our host Damesha Craig (Ep. 2)

          Today we turn the tables on our beautiful host, Damesha Craig to interview her. The daughter of NFL great, Roger Craig and Vernessia Craig. As the eldest of 5 children, she shares her experiences; including her upbringing, career/entrepreneurial journey and love life. She discusses transitions and pivotal, turning points that led her to living her life for herself rather than for others. She teaches us how to forgive and of course, tips around how to fuel our souls.  
          Some key takeaways included: to keep healing, forgiveness as a gift we give ourselves, Damesha’s inspiration to make as much as we can out of our lives (leaving all our creativity and energy here before we leave this earth), her empathy  and love for family and the grace she gives to herself. She recognizes that life is a journey! She sees the world with a child like curiosity and is all about progress rather than perfection. Remember that healing is a process, and can be an important step towards finding peace and wholeness.
          “Unhealed trauma can cloud our ability to see the pain and suffering of others, making it easy to minimize their experiences. But true healing allows us to recognize the depth of our own pain and use it as a source of empathy and compassion for others. When we heal, we can hold space for others to heal, too.” - Damesha Craig, Certified Mindset Life & Business Coach, CEO & Author 💛
