This week’s guest on The Awakeners Podcast, Jessy Zhao, shares her journey about finding herself and her true purpose. She stepped away from a very successful career to start her own business in a foreign land where she doesn’t speak the language. By getting out of her head and her comfort zone, she learned to listen to her heart and body which guided Jessy in rediscovering her truth, needs, boundaries and her own definition of success. Now she is the founder and CEO of ALOEÉ Natural (Aloee.co), the 1st and only online market in Mexico for 100% natural & organic products, for the purpose of democratizing healthy living for everyone. Her journey has had ups and downs and the perspective that she shares with us in this episode is what has carried her across her self-defined goal line!

Did you know that your body has a superpower that can actually counterbalance your fight or flight system and can trigger a relaxation response in your body? It is one of the cranial nerves called the Vagus nerve that connects the brain to the body. Without this nerve, our bodies wouldn’t be able to do basic tasks like breathing, and by stimulating it we can receive powerful health benefits and naturally combat stress and anxiety!

This week, Lisa, Lee, and Kellie speak with Salvatore Spatafora who discusses the importance of the Vagus nerve and how we can utilize it to bring calmness and peace into our everyday life. Originally a successful architect, Salvatore had an awakening, realizing that he had a larger calling. He transitioned to the Healing Arts as a Massage Therapist, specializing in a visionary approach to Craniosacral Therapy. He is passionate about sharing the importance of Vagal Tone in whole body health. Salvatore contends that the stimulation of the Vagus Nerve is probably one of the most powerful impacts you can have on optimizing not only your physical health, but your mental and emotional health as well. Join us this week as we explore how to shape and mold your reality simply by becoming aware of how to work with your Vagus nerve and access your Vagal tone.

This week, Julie King returns to The Awakeners for Part 2 to continue her very raw conversation with the girls sharing some of her trials and the tools she has used to help her along the journey.

This week, The Awakeners delve into the inner journey with Julie King.

She is also busy now launching her new book “Your inner Journey”, and is headed back to the studio to record another album this spring. In this episode, Julie opens up about her own healing and transformation through hardship and severe abuse, and how her innate awareness and connection to God has shaped her healing journey to become the medicine woman she is today.

This week on The Awakeners Podcast, we invite Michele Avila to the show. Michele is the founder and head of the Breath of Life Ministry in Playa del Carmen Mexico, which serves broken families and single mothers. Originally from Mexico City, she was an internationally recognized singer, and her story began in Playa del Carmen, when she found herself in a life-threatening abusive relationship, having to escape as a single mother, alone with her newborn baby in an unfamiliar City.

Would you like to learn how you can live and work in a space that supports and nourishes you to create greatness in your life? Feng Shui is part of a metaphysical system used to understand the natural energies (Qi) of the living environment around us; with awareness and understanding, we are able to affect that environment.

We’ve all experienced traumas or challenges in life, but can we rise above them? Challenges give us the opportunity to develop the skills, awareness, and beliefs to define our character and evolve our consciousness. The choice to identify with an experience as a victim or as a warrior is yours. It will dictate the life you create for yourself and how you are able to show up for others.

After watching last week's show, have you tried out a morning ritual? What effect did it have on your day and can you feel the shift? The power of laughter (especially when you first wake up) has wonderful benefits that have been documented in scientific research.

How do you feel when you wake up in the mornings? Do you have a routine in which you start your day?
