"My mission, now, is to reclaim the word WOMAN as the most powerful force on the planet." – Carin Rockind

Welcome Carin Rockind, a renowned empowerment coach and founder of The Purpose Girl podcast, to The Brave Table. Filming this episode was so much fun! Carin led me through her journey from leaving corporate America to answering her calling of empowering women to embrace their power, purpose, and pleasure. We even chat about her current motivation to shift focus, rebranding her show to the Reclaiming Woman Podcast and stepping out of the "good girl" conditioning. Through the transformative power of sisterhood, this episode is going to empower you to reclaim your  joy, embody your authenticity, and foster positive change in the world. You ready?!?

In this episode, we talk about…

• Daring to be unapologetically bold despite the challenge of being seen as "too much.
• Life threatening moments, like being held at gunpoint, that inspire action despite fear.
• Experiencing miscarriages and fertility issues, and embracing vulnerability after  loss.

The founder of The Institute of WOMAN and Women’s Happiness Day, Carin Rockind, MAPP, is on a mission to free women of self-doubt, systemic trauma-based fears, and limiting beliefs so that they rise in their fierce feminine power to lead this world from radiance and aliveness. As one of the leading experts in women’s happiness, she is a sought after speaker, teacher, and retreat leader who has empowered tens of thousands of women to not just survive – but THRIVE and love their lives. 

After surviving domestic violence, armed robbery, miscarriages and infertility, Carin turned her pain into purpose and became a marathon runner, new mom at 45, and keynote speaker for Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Capital One, and LinkedIn.

 We don't need a higher click through rate, what we need is a conscious thought revolution. – Gordy Bal

Gordy Bal, the author of The New Millionaire's Playbook: 7 Keys to Unlock Freedom, Purpose, and Abundance, and I are two thought leaders who’ve been exchanging ideas for years.  His perspective on the profound shift needed in our perception of wealth and success is mindblowing! As a child of immigrant parents, Gordy achieved his millions in his early 20s. Dissatisfaction quickly redirected his focus from his external to his internal well-being. And, now, he blends practicality with spirituality to teach his clients, and his friends (like me!) how to manifest through new measures of success. Enjoy the insights that Gordy shares from his book to uplift your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. 

In this episode we talk about…

• Debunking the belief that money is the ultimate scoreboard for success.
• Investing in thoughts that create conscious capital instead of spiritual bankruptcy.
• Measuring personal MEPS (Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual well-being) to develop awareness & discover purpose.

Gordy Bal is a heart-centered entrepreneur, impact investor, and visionary leader. He is the author of The New Millionaire’s Playbook, and the founder of Conscious Thought Revolution (CTR.com), which consists of Venture Capital Fund and a world-class marketing agency,  which invests in entrepreneurs and organizations committed to bettering humanity. Through these organizations, Gordy has spearheaded the transformation of early startups into billion-dollar powerhouses. 

Gordy is now a sought after advisor, speaker, mentor and coach to entrepreneurs and investors. He is passionate about supporting aligned leaders in generating true abundance by stepping into their purpose and making a meaningful impact. Harnessing this commitment, Gordy has dedicated himself to creating a world where business, finance, and human consciousness seamlessly co-exist.

“Our emotional hygiene is then our responsibility. It's us taking personal responsibility for the spaces we enter.” – Dr. Neeta Bhushan

The two most shut down parts of the feminine are your emotions–don't’ cry, don't’ be angry–and your sexuality–don’t move like that, don’t be like that." - Sheila Kelley

You are in for a spicy treat, loves! I had the juiciest heart-to-heart with Sheila Kelley, the visionary founder of S Factor. We dove deep into embracing sensuality and reclaiming the feminine, a journey Sheila so beautifully embodies. Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of attending The S Gathering in Las Vegas and just knew I had to have her on to share her knowledge with all of you.

Sheila EXUDES genuine passion and wisdom, and invites us all to reclaim the most sacred parts of ourselves through her teachings. So, tap into her infectious, transformative energy and prepare yourselves to let the “good girl” out of the box. Because, it’s time for us to celebrate our bodies, emotions, and desires with more authenticity, grace, and unapologetic joy!

In this episode, we talk about…

• Embracing sensuality by unlocking the power of emotions in reclaiming your feminine essence.
• Savoring the slow to find presence and healing in a fast-paced, unforgiving world.
• Recognizing self-connection and self-expression as keys to empowering your relationships and achieving fulfillment.

S Factor® founder, author, actress, and body whisperer, Sheila Kelley, pioneered a feminine movement revolution, launching a brave new practice into a very masculine world two decades ago. 

Her own soulful journey is a passionate, personal, and scientific study of the feminine body, soul, and purpose. Sheila has been featured on TEDx, Ellen, Mind Valley, Tony Robbins, and Oprah, and is a regular speaker on stages across the world where she is the go-to authority for feminine empowerment, healing and discovery. 

Since beginning her work and study into the connection between feminine vitality and physiology, Sheila’s vision has been constant: A world in which women are deeply connected to their soulfully erotic selves and are able to express every aspect of who they are, freely.

Her mission is to lead women on a journey that takes them into the unseen depths of their feminine power through total embodiment. Working with Sheila can be as elementary as exploring and celebrating the shape of your body, or as potent as healing the parts of your body and soul that others (or even you) have shut down. With each and every experience, the goal is the same: To awaken you to your deepest truths and unleash your most radiant potential. 

Sheila believes that it is every woman’s birthright to be viscerally aware of her uniquely alluring and sensual nature. Through this awareness comes the Epic Love for which we all search. It took Sheila too many years of struggle and strife to find and learn how to nurture her Epic Love. With this invaluable insight, Sheila guides women into a deep state of sensual and erotic fullness – because when you have allowed your body and life to reach their most radiant potential, your Epic Love will flow toward you as effortlessly as water flowing downstream.

Her carefully crafted approach is born from her experience of ballet, movement physiology, and anatomy at NYU’s Tisch School of Arts, as well as her exploration of women’s studies, psychology, and female neurology. Sheila is also a certified TRE provider.

There are different parts of ourselves that come up to the surface…that come up, that show up when we are being attacked or when we feel like we need to protect. And, it's only because there are certain parts of ourselves that's triggered. – Dr. Neeta Bhushan

Hey there, Brave Table fam! In today's episode, we're diving deep into a topic that's crucial to our relational success. We'll be exploring the concept of gaslighting - what it is, how to spot it in ourselves and those around us, and how it can affect our relationships. I'll be sharing some powerful techniques to help you navigate those tough conversations and challenging emotions that we all face from time to time.

In this episode, I talk about…

• Breaking down empathy, recognizing when others are denying experiences & minimizing feelings.
• Shifting blame, creating conflict & their impact on communication.
• Knowing your emotional Type & reacting in tough moments

It's so important to remember to acknowledge and validate the emotions of others, and equally vital to practice self-awareness and self-compassion in our own lives. Remember, our greatest teachers are the relationships we have with ourselves and others. As we navigate this journey towards recognizing and addressing gaslighting dynamics, let's find the beauty and healing in embracing our emotions.
