Acceptance & Forgiveness - Forgiving Other People & Forgiving Ourselves 

 

Kyla Edwards 

Self Mastery Coach, she helps women overcome negative thinking & self doubt 

One-on-one coaching program called “Elevate” 

 

Q: What was your story of Self-Mastery & Forgiveness? 

 

I grew up in a very white environment in the Caribbean, I’m mixed race 

From an early age, I struggled with acceptance 

I wanted to be white like everyone else around me

My mother’s partner was abusive to me.  I really resented myself, I had a lot of guilt & shame 

I wanted to be anyone other than myself

The environment I grew up in was very turbulent. It didn’t feel safe to be who I was or show emotion 

I grew up resenting myself & who I was, including my sexuality 

I couldn’t look myself in the eye. I got into unhealthy behaviors, and I had a deep sense of loneliness & not feeling fulfilled.  

I would do whatever I could to avoid that pain inside 

I was in a 5 year relationship, and when that ended I went even deeper into the pain & my addiction intensified

I had an incident where I got in trouble with the police, and that was the beginning of my path of change, my awakening 

I moved to Australia with the hope of starting a better life 

I said a prayer, asked for help, and my recovery process started

It was a journey of going back to my childhood & letting go of resentment, accepting who I am 

Now I’m proud of who I am, I own my story 

We’ve all done things to hurt others, we just may not be aware of them 

I want to help others understand and grow awareness of their inner world and how their thoughts & actions affect others 

 

Q:  When you were at that crucial time, and you chose the process of self-discovery, what was it that really helped you go inwards & heal? 

 

A: 

Connecting to a higher power, something that was far greater than me 

Looking at my story, realizing that it had happened in my past and I couldn't do anything about it.  It was done 

Realizing that all I could think about was what was happening in the present moment 

I wanted to be a better person, I didn’t want to feel lonely and empty anymore

What I was doing wasn’t working. Nothing was changing, I was repeating the same mistakes 

I knew it was time that I had to do something different 

I started to take action to work with source 

I started to look at why I was afraid, and what my contribution was to the resentment or fear (accountability) 

I started understanding which point in the process I contributed to my own problem 

I stopped seeing myself as the victim

In the beginning it was a lot of letting go of resentment, and now it’s more of a soul journey 

 

Q:  I can feel that the acceptance piece was such a huge part of your evolution. What do you feel acceptance is, and forgiveness is? 

 

A: 

Acceptance is the sense of belonging to yourself

Accepting the parts of yourself that you want to hide away or reject 

Accept your current situation as it is, even the parts that you’d rather not admit 

Understanding that who you are & what you’re experiencing right now is what you’re meant to experience.  Letting go of attachment to the outcome and to the emotion. 

Forgiveness brings inner peace & joy 

If you can’t forgive somebody, that’s the ego-mind seeing it as a sign of weakness 

Really, forgiveness is letting go of anger. It’s acknowledging that something happened, but you’re not going to let it hurt you anymore.

Understanding that others are in pain, or they wouldn’t have done the things that they did 

Look at things with compassion 

Make a decision not to let the anger & resentment control you anymore 

If you hang on to pain, you’re literally re-traumatizing yourself over and over again 

It takes courage to let go 

If you want space for new energy to enter, you have to forgive

When you forgive, it’s surrendering your ego, practicing humility & aligning more with your true nature 

Forgiveness is probably one of the most important teachings to be able to create a new life for yours

Serial Entrepreneurship - How to Use Spirituality for Success

 

Geraldine Convento 

Business Woman 

Influencer 

YouTube Personality 

Has her own marketing, SEO, Web Optimization Company 

 

Q:  How did you become an entrepreneur? 

A: 

From San Francisco Bay area 

I grew up in a family with siblings that were a lot older than me, I grew up around a lot of adults 

I noticed that everyone was really busy working for other people, and sometimes worked multiple jobs

I thought if I had my own business I could make more time for myself 

I was working in the corporate world, I decided to go to business school so I could start my own business. I had no idea what kind of business I was going to run. 

I started all these different businesses 

I really enjoyed creating my own business, putting hours into my own creations and fulfilling my own dreams & desires 

Over time, my capacity became limited as a solo entrepreneur, it became really discouraging 

Later on I discovered the power of having business partnerships & teams, and it totally transformed my experience as an entrepreneur, and that’s what led me to having multiple businesses today 

 

Q: When you say serial entrepreneur, you’re talking about multiple businesses and multiple revenue streams, not necessarily the trap of jumping from one to the next. You’re talking about aligned, grounded businesses and revenue streams, correct?

A:  Yes, it’s having multiple income streams that are all aligned. 

 

Q:  For those listening, that might be starting one business and jumping to the next before it takes off - what advice can you give them to ground and build a business that is aligned and purpose driven? 

A:  

When I was starting businesses and it wasn’t working, it came down to identifying what my limiting beliefs were

This is where the spirituality comes into play 

If something isn’t working, there may be a limiting belief 

I started taking seminars and finding resources to get to know myself

I’ve come into a direct relationship with self-love, and finding the best way to connect with spirit

I had to learn communication styles and understand how other people think and feel 

Entrepreneurship is a self-development journey

In that journey, there can be a lot of trial & error 

 

Q: 

I love how you mentioned that entrepreneurship and personal development are one in the same 

I want to go into the topic of limiting beliefs a little bit. What were some of the limiting beliefs that you had to uncover, and what are some common limiting beliefs that you see?

A:  

I’m not good enough 

I don’t have the skills, I can’t do that 

I find people might set their prices low because they believe that they don’t have the skills or experience, but then they don’t have the money to add more education

Whether it’s a product or service, the value has to be energetically aligned 

 

Q: 

Pricing is one aspect of your business to look at and feel into any beliefs around worthiness and how it’s showing up in your pricing strategy 

What are some of the things that you did to uncover and transcend your limiting beliefs? 

A: 

The uncovering came through crying or feeling bad 

I was someone who liked to keep uncomfortable emotions in the background 

Early on in my career, I would reach out to people who seemed to be really successful, and I discovered they were going through the same thing as me 

Building community 

Reaching out to mentors and coaches

Finding a network of people to build you up when you’re feeling down 

 

Q:  

I want to talk more about the spirituality side of things

As we grow our business model to have multiple businesses or team members, how can we leverage spirituality? 

A: 

Having access to your creativity and inner genius is critical in this process 

I used meditation to connect to spirit 

Epsom Salt baths - to clear any negative energy 

Sage 

Having crystals & stones around 

I’ve also tried things like sweat lodges and moon clearing ceremonies 

 

Q: 

Those are great for clearing lower v

Emotional Support for the Holiday Season 

 

Christine Thethi 

 

Essential Oil Practitioner 

Diamond Doterra Rep 

Mother of two 

Committed to showing people how they can live more holistically using essential oils 

 

Q:  What drew you to essential oils?  How do they support you and your health? 

 

A: 

I have 2 kids, my kids are 9 and 6 

I was dealing with a lot of emotion, postpartum depression 

I was a full time dental assistant at the time

One of my friends reached out to me about essential oils, I was asking if she had anything to help with anxiety & depression 

For me to ask & share my emotions was a very big deal (5 - 6 years ago this was spoke about even less) 

My friend gave me some samples

I started to create a new habit of using the essential oils 

I felt so many benefits, both for myself & my children 

Your body can heal itself if you have the proper tools 

I became extremely passionate about learning about them 

Frankincense was the key oil that helped me at that time

 

Q:    They are potent and powerful.  Can you explain how essential oils work? 

 

A: 

They are volatile aromatic compounds from stems, roots, seeds (parts of plants) 

Doterra sources their oils from their natural environment. For example, they get their lavender from France where it grows

Doterra is safe to take internally because of its purity 

Anyone can create an essential oil and label it “100% pure”  There isn’t a governing body around this

Doterrra does sourcing & testing to make their oils safe - powerful + potent

Oils are essentially nature’s medicine 

 

Q:  In my conversation with Elaina a few weeks ago she was talking about how every plant has medicine to support us.  What kind of emotional conditions are people working through & getting great results from essential oils? 

 

A:  

Stress, anxiety, depression 

We’re living in a crazy world right now with mental health 

The biggest thing I’m finding right now is people looking for emotional support 

Doterra has seen this shift in what people need, and have created a blend called “Adaptive” to help with mental health 

They have a mental health line - 6 different blends

I experienced the benefits of these oils… when I first started using them I thought they smelled awful 

I realized that I needed them and now I love them 

Everybody is different in how the essential oils affect us, and also, your body can change 

For example, lavender may not work for someone, but after some time, it may have a different effect 

 

Q:   What top 3 oils would you recommend for support this holiday season? 

 

A:  

Frankincense:  Is literally the oil that is good for everything.  It supports your cellular health, as well as your emotions 

Frankincense will enhance the effectiveness of other oils 

Eg.  If you take peppermint for a headache, frankincense will enhance its effect 

 

Adaptive:  Calming Blend 

 

Balance - Grounding Blend 

 

On Guard - Blend for Immunity in the Winter 

 

Q:  It’s so beautiful how the world is waking up to the essence of nature and how it can support us 

 

A:  

I love helping people 

It lights me up to hear how essential oils have helped people 

 

Q:  It’s a way of helping people understand their own healing power. How can people listening get started with all of this, how can they work with you?

 

A:  

Find me at Be Pure to You (I’m in the process of a rebrand) 

I offer samples to anyone for free. 

Send me a message and I’ll happily set you up with some samples

For Dec, doterra is offering free frankincense and $50 free for anyone getting started 

I will help, support & guide you on how to use the oils.  I’ll be there every step of the way 

Essential oils can be used for skin care, making cleaning products, and so much more

Losing Your Religion 

 

Melissa Perez - Writer, author of “Living Loved”, Mom

 

Topic: Religion & Spirituality - How are they the same? How are they different?

Q:  What was your religious up-bringing? What was that like for you? 

 

A:  

First I want to pray for everyone that may be watching this

I was raised Christian, but very religious - structured, traditional, black + white 

There was an emphasis on sin-consciousness - the idea that there is something wrong with us

I felt an underlying tone of believing that I was broken, so I wasn’t able to receive the idea that “God Loves You” 

I was able to open to receiving love outside of my experience with religion  

My experience was very much a roller coaster ride, I would only let myself feel love if I believed I did something “good” and was deserving of it 

 

Q:  Do you think there are religions in the world that celebrate more wholeness? 

 

A:  

I think there are people in every religion that understand the truth.  Truth is universal.

Religion is their way of having structure and connecting to their truth

 

Q:  What was your transition out of religion and into spirituality? 

 

A: 

I was hurt and offended.  I didn’t feel seen there. 

This led me to a place of questioning 

A mentor entered my life at exactly that time

This woman was strong, spiritual, and aware.  She was free in her beliefs 

She was ok with mystery.  I loved that. Certainty can create boundaries, exclude, isolate

I believe religion has its place, it’s not be judged, it’s just to be learned from 

 

Q:   Can you explain how you are merging the masculine energy of religious structure and institution with the feminine energy of spirituality? 

 

A:  

I was an addict for a number of years, and religion was part of my healing.  It was almost extreme. 

Like a pendulum, I left religion and went completely the other way

It’s healthy to have balance 

Religion provides structure, tangible tools to practice our spirituality, ways to take action and ground our spiritual energy  

I aim for a “sweet spot” between both sides: masculine + feminine energy 

 

Q:  How are you integrating this with your boys? 

 

A: 

As a child, I didn’t get to choose what I believed, I was told what to believe 

Now, at 35 I am choosing and creating my own religion.  I’m bringing in non-dual thinking 

I’ve found freedom in this. 

With my children, I didn’t want to tell them what to believe - I want them to grow curious about it 

I live it out in front of them: for example, they see me meditate every morning or expressing gratitude 

I want the energy of my life to be what moves them 

 

Q:   I can imagine how hard it would be to step outside of your religion if you were really programed.  Do you have any tips that you can share?

 

A: 

Children know.  It’s really important that we create an environment that extracts this knowledge out of them, instead of trying to plant things in them 

It’s not about fear.  Notice if you’re feeling that it is about fear. 

Any book will be reflective of where you’re at in your life.  If you are in fear, you will feel the fear in the story, scriptures, or teachings 

Check your heart, do some inner work 

I don’t think texts are meant to be read literally, it’s a compass to reflect back how you are feeling 

Do not fear questioning 

I’ve created my own religion in a sense; my own connection to the divine 

If your religion causes you to live in fear, exclusion, separation from others, I would say it’s time to re-evaluate 

True religion always allows for more love and expansion 

If you’re not experiencing love, it’s time to re-evaluate 

Q:  

Are we living in fear or love? 

For anyone listening, check in - be really honest with yourself.  Are you motivated by fear or love? 

How were you able to step out of the religious framework and open yourself up to love? How can others connect to their heart more? 

 

A: 

 

I am blessed with a husband who loved me, even when I didn’t love myself 

He was the example of divine love

Connecting to Our Sacredness Through Nature 

 

Elaina Cochran - Elated Earth 

 

Works with flower & plant Essences

Facilitates guided healing through nature connection

 

Q:  What has been your personal story, and how did you come to be more connected to nature? 

 

A:  

Over the past 10 years I’ve been on the path of Shamanism 

The beilef in Shamanism is that everything has a spirit 

This was something that I had always felt, but Shamanism gave me a language and a way of understanding it more 

I was doing this on the side while I was doing my photography and portrait business 

I started to shift my photography to show that we live in an artful and beautiful world

This was kindof a starting point, as I used my photography to connect others to nature

A few years ago I started getting intuitive messages about plant energy work 

I felt a drive to connect to essences, I started to hear messages about the healing properties of plants, and when I looked it up, it always matched the messages I was receiving 

I worked with my husband one day and I could see where the energy was blocked in his body and how the plants were helping him, so this led to me doing individual sessions 

 

Q:  You mentioned experiencing nature with your heart, not your eyes.  How can everyday women make the shift from enjoying nature with the mind to feeling it with the heart? 

 

A:  

I feel like that is “the journey” for everyone… to remember that our hearts are our actual guidance system, and our brains our here to help us process what we know in our hearts 

Sometimes we want to overcomplicate things… something simple like consciously being barefoot can really help you connect to nature 

Remembering that there is no separation - we are a part of nature and the beauty that we see 

Step into our connection to nature as a relationship, in gratitude 

Be curious & conscious, connecting to everything around us 

 

Q:  What are some other ways that you can suggest to make this connection and open ourselves up to nature? 

 

A:  

Shift your perception about what nature is  

You can connect to a houseplant… Connect to your breath as you would to prepare for meditation.  Focus your gaze on the plant and explore and shifts that you feel - no matter how subtle

Make yourself an empty container, and be open to what you receive.  Be curious. 

You can do this with trees, or a flower - treat it as a friend.  It shifts how you are interacting with the world around you 

 

Q:  Do you think we all have this ability to channel these messages from plants? 

 

A:  Absolutely.  We’re all intuitive, we can all open up and practice using our intuition 

 

Q:  Does every plant have a message? 

 

A: 

Everything has its own message and vibration.  We can all communicate with our natural world. 

I feel like it’s a source of deep healing for our society.  Our society has become more and more disconnected from nature.  

It’s about shifting our understanding and perspective of what’s around us 

 

Q:  Tell me some examples of how you’ve worked with people, and how you’ve been able to use plants to heal them? 

 

A:  

A lot of people have come out of curiosity, it takes a desire and a willingness to step into the unknown 

In sessions, there’s a lot of clearing that can happen.  A lot of times when we have truama, pain, or negative patterns we have energetic residue left in our bodies 

I can see this in people

Plants want us to be in our power… so the practice is about “clearing house” or clearing out things that hold us back 

When we operate under the understanding that we can keep our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies healthy - we can clear old energy 

I had a woman who worked with me and it changed her physical experience, her chiropractic adjustments were different & had to happen a lot less often 

I’ve had a lot of people have emotional releases 

 

Q:  How does emotional trauma affect our physical body? 

 

A:  Even though something happens in one body, it can have an ef

How to Find Love - Discover What’s Blocking You from Romantic Love and Become and Energetic Match to your Dream Relationship 

 

Natasha Virdy - Relationship Expert, Mentor, Coach 

 

Q: What has your journey been?  WHy are you called to coach and mentor other women about relationships? 

 

A: 

My journey started when I was 19, I went to Italy. I fell in love with someone, had a deep soul connection, and I was only there for 2 weeks 

After that, I kept meeting the wrong guys and having toxic relationships 

I started my own healing journey, I learned so much of the spiritual practices to heal and see my shadows 

I kept experiencing betrayal, abandonment and loss - I was experiencing the same trauma with different guys. 

I received a download from my higher self/spirit that it was time to call in my twin flame/true partner 

Within 5 months I manifested divine love 

I realized that this was my purpose, I didn’t go through all of that trauma for no reason.  Now I can help women call in their soul - aligned partner 

 

Q:  Through the process of finding relationships and losing them, what was revealed to you about the work that needed to be done? 

 

A:  

I kept calling in partners who reminded me of my father.  

I had a traumatic experience when I was younger, and I kept calling in that same experience 

I was re-experiencing things from my past and my relationship with my father 

I realized I needed to stop attracting these type of men 

 

Q:  If there is a father who is emotionally unavailable, what kind of men do women attract? 

 

A:

Men who don’t want to commit 

Narcissists

Men who don’t want to get to know you, to be in a serious relationship

 

Q:  Do you think the personal work needs to be done to attract this divine relationship? 

 

A:  

It depends on your romantic blueprint 

 

It depends on what you believe to be true about love on a subconscious level 

It’s important to do inner work and rewire your beliefs to create a reality that invites love in 

Most of our core beliefs are formed from 0 - 7 years old

 

Q:  The work in our life presents in different areas for different people.  You spoke in your IG story about a spiritual relationship. How would you define this? 

 

A:  

There’s a difference between a soul mate and a twin flame/divine counterpart 

A twin flame is your own soul in another person’s body… this can be really intense 

The higher frequency the relationship, the more shadow is revealed 

A soul mate is a mate to your soul, that you can love and grow with 

Twin flame can be a friendship, it’s scripted before you came here.  Your purpose is to help each other grow. It’s like an accelerated karmic clearing. 

 

Q:  How do you know if you have your twin flame in your life? 

 

A:  It’s your exact energetic match.  You’ll know, it’s like seeing your own soul reflected back to you.  Not everyone is signed up for this. It might not be part of everyone’s experience. 

 

Q:  What are some of the main things you see in the women that you work with? 

 

A:  

The main issue I see is that these women have never actually taken inventory of what they believe about love. 

In my work, we dive in and re-program those beliefs and stories. 

Throw the old stories away and decide that you want to believe something else. 

Create space, have clarity and intention about the partner that you want to be with, and really get into alignment with it 

 

Q:  It’s not just the Law of Attraction for your own reality, you’re bringing another person into the mix.  How do you maintain those relationships or know when it’s time to move on? 

 

A:  In a relationship, it only works when you’re in vibrational alignment.  If one person grows and changes, the relationships can change 

 

Q:  How would you coach someone in a relationship (with kids) going through fluctuations? 

 

A:  I work with more single women, or women who have already made a choice to leave the person that they’re with 

 

Q:  What would you say to

Topic:  Heart - Centered Consciousness 

 

Anna Brown:  Ascension Guide, Heart Centered Teacher

 

Q:  Have you always had access to this wisdom?  What is your story of spiritual awakening? 

 

A:  

I would say my whole life has been an awakening 

As I kid, I had paranormal visions - when I was young, my conditioning had me automatically going into fear 

These awakenings led me to my larger awakening 

About 5 years ago, I had a big awakening, which led me into exploring heart centered consciousness 

It has been something that I have been deepening and embodying more over time 

 

Q:  I can imagine that it was confusing for you in your conditioning when you were younger.  How did you move past this? 

 

A: 

I always had a little bit of a rebel side.  I was always questioning authority. I also had a side that wanted to serve God/the light but I didn’t know what it was. 

It was easy for me to shift away from it because I had always questioned it anyway. 

It was about broadening my perspective and learning more 

 

Q:  What do you mean by Ascension?  Are we here to ascend? 

 

A:  

If you’re watching this video, you’re here to ascend.  

Ascension is playing “catch up” to the light that is you 

You are embodying your soul, the Source as Self - It is a process 

Your heart holds your blue-print 

You’re ascending your consciousness & your physical body to connect to something that already exists 

Bridging Heaven + Earth 

 

Q:  Why do we have this separateness in our world right now? 

 

A:  

Everyone is playing off each other to have what they need in order to ascend to their next level. 

It’s a play.  Source wants to experience itself in as many ways as possible 

When more people have ascended, there will still be separateness + differences, but there is a deep respect and understanding that we’re also all one/source 

 

Q:  How do you see this ascension journey playing out? Do you see a lot of people that are awakening? Do you see it speeding up/expanding? 

 

A:  

I see it accelerating

It means embodying the awareness 

The more people that embody this vibration, it will create a tipping effect on the planet to awaken more people 

 

Q:  Is it similar to how we can influence other people’s energetic fields with our vibration? 

 

A: 

Yes, but people have to want to wake up, they have to have an intention to ascend 

They have to have a desire to want to open up

 

Q:   So the intention and the openness is an essential part of the ascension process. When you’re speaking to people early on in the ascension process, if they have a lot of lower vibrational energies, how can they transcend those? 

 

A:  

It’s a very natural, organic process 

We all have a dark night of the soul, realizing; getting intimate with our inner trauma and consciousness 

Become the mom + dad to your heart that you never had 

Become your own soul mate 

Turn consciousness in on itself, love those parts of yourself that you’re embarrassed about or ashamed of 

Embrace the darkness, let it dissipate

Transform darkness into light with the power of your own love 

 

Q:  Embodying source energy, pure consciousness - is this all done by opening up your heart center? 

 

A: 

Yes.  It’s DNA.  

To activate your DNA, you need to create heart coherence 

Body, mind, and heart in alignment 

Embracing + practicing gratitude 

Place your hand on your heart and train your consciousness

Consciousness goes wherever there’s a sensation 

You have to have a clear intention - a vision of what you want in your world 

 

Q:  Can you describe in more detail how we activate the DNA? 

A:  

When you live in stress, your DNA curls in and gets distorted

When you go into coherence, it activates + unwinds 

There is more than the 2 strands of DNA that we know and can see through a microscope 

You can train your DNA to go into activation with higher vibrations 

A healer may help you activate your DNA, but you have to practice keeping your vibe high, to hold the experience 

 

Q:  There is a lot of distra

Topic:  Discovering your Purpose & Taking the Risks to Get There 

 

Jessie DaSilva - Intuitive Career Coach 

 

Q:  How did you get to where you are? 

 

A:  It happened how it was supposed to happen 

Growing up I was artistic, I was bossy (a know-it-all) 

I had natural communication skills 

I went to college for journalism, when I graduated there weren’t journalism jobs available 

I went to Law School, I loved it but practicing law after school was a different story 

The only consistent thing in my life was my love of mentoring 

I was always adopting people as mentees, and helping them achieve their dreams 

I started tapping into gifts that I had always had, but I had suppressed them 

I’m an empath, and I have an intuitive skill. I realized I could work with this skill and help other people 

I took a look at my life and said: “This is the one thing I’ve always loved to do” 

I started while I was still at my other job

I received a severance as my employers let me go, and it was enough to get me started.  It was an answer to my prayers & wishes 

 

Q:  Do you think we can avoid these jobs that we don’t like, or do they ultimately lead us to clarity? 

 

A: It depends.  

 

We all intuitively know what we’re meant to do, but we have different ways of figuring it out 

Some of us are really in tune, and some of us can only learn by trial and error 

Everything leads us to where we’re meant to go 

Everything I went through has really allowed me to connect with clients 

 

Q:  Do you think that people can be in a career that isn’t in alignment, but find their purpose outside of their career, and still live a purpose-driven life? 

 

A:  Absolutely. 

 

I like to ask: How can we get you into a job that’s not draining, so you can do both at the same time? To find a way to follow your passion without having a job that sucks all of your energy. 

Q:  Sometimes when we give up everything, we put too much pressure on ourselves to pursue our purpose and we stifle our creativity.  Can you speak to this? 

 

A:  Yes, and sometimes you have to go through that.  All you can do is your best. Take care of yourself.  Receiving just as much as you are giving out. 

 

Q:  You suggested to get a job that doesn’t drain our energy.  Is there a process that you have around that? 

 

A: I give people a career inventory:

 

Go through every single job that you’ve ever had.  Write a very specific list about what you loved and what you hated.  

Take some time to do it.  At the end, look for patterns and things that repeat. 

Make a Love list and a Hate list 

Identify what you like and what you’re looking for.  Get a clear idea of what you’re looking for in the next position that will put you in a high vibe place 

 

Q:  What kind of Intuitive processes do you have? 

 

A:  

Ask what you loved to do as a kid.  Ask what activities you really love to do.  What are you really interested in? Discover who you are right now.  

Ask yourself questions that get in touch with what’s inside.  Meditation is a big thing, and visualization (create, in detail, what you’re looking for)

Sometimes we don’t know what we want to do because we can’t envision it 

 

Q:  What’s the Next Step?  Once you become clear? You mentioned risks. 

 

A:  Yes.  I recommend taking small risks.  Taking risks, even if you’re told “No”, you show yourself that you’re capable 

Q:  Can you speak to people who feel discouraged and overwhelmed by the stress of it all? 

 

A:  

I always teach everyone about self care routines.  Have a list of things that help you feel grounded, good, and happy.  Things that you can do every day. 

Get in touch with what can keep you moving forward.  Feed your brain positive messaging.  

Have systems in place to use when you fall into places of self doubt and questioning yourself 

 

Purpose changes* - we will grow and evolve, give yourself permission to follow where you’re at right now. 

 

Q:  Do we have one overarching purpose that can show up in different ways, or does our

Topic:  Sovereignty - The Other Side of Conscious Living 

 

Sweetie Cheresse Hamlett - Creator of Sweetie Consulting 

 

Talking about what it means to live consciously.  What does it mean to embrace sovereignty?

 

Q:  How did this all begin?  What was your journey to sovereignty? 

 

A:  My family is a long line of spiritual women.  I’ve always had a connection with the spiritual realm. 

 

In school, I was exposed to religion.  Through my own journey, I started to question everything, around my early 20’s 

I started to get more into herbal healing, and I couldn’t understand why some of these things were not mainstream

As I started to question everything, I came to realize that to ensure the health of your own body and the nutrition of your own food, it was our job to take care of that ourselves

I learned to become a gardener

The only way to really know what you’re putting into your body is to do it yourself, or to really know the person who grows your food

We all have to play a role in the creation of our life experiences 

We are dealing with what we have in society, instead of focusing on what we want to create in society 

 

**Conscious living is also about knowing the source of your belongings, what you have in your home and where it came from. 

 

**Being conscious of how many people are involved in meeting your basic needs (Food, clothing, water, shelter) 

 

**My mission is to help remove some of those middle men, and put the power back in to the individual 

 

Q:  Where do we even start with all of this?  You’ve created a very conscious lifestyle, but for a lot of us it’s very overwhelming. 

 

A:  Absolutely, it’s very overwhelming.  I understand the overwhelmed feeling.  I was so overwhelmed at one point that I needed medicine for anxiety. 

 

I’ve created a path so it can be more simple. 

 

I’ve created Sovereignty Styles:  See where you are and where you want to go in terms of sovereignty.  Ask: What type of sovereignty do you want to have? 

 

Once you choose your sovereignty style, decide your plan and what changes you can make.

For example, a rainwater system that can get you a tax break. 

 

The biggest part is actually taking action and moving on what you learn.  It can be done on a low budget. 

 

Take your time.  Let go of the sense of urgency.   At Sweetie Consulting, we are a community, we offer workshops to teach you what to do. 

 

Q:  Can this work in any climate? 

 

A:  Yes, it’s all about making a plan.  

 

Q:  What are the Sovereignty Styles, what is your sovereignty style? 

 

Sovereignty Styles: 

 

Cope & Create 

Coping, Creating & Sovereign 

Connecting, Creating & Sovereign (That’s me) 

 

It’s about living in harmony & balance and living in alignment with nature.

 

Q:  I want to talk about sovereignty and spirituality.  When we remove ourselves from all of the systems that we’re a part of, it can make more room for spiritual connection.  What has your experience been with this? 

 

A:  Yes, the connection is definitely stronger.  You start to feel more. It’s a different type of connection.  It makes you relate better to everything around you. 

 

You get to see the beauty in everything, and you also start to feel affected by the mistreatment of everything. 

You become a part of nature, and thus what happens to nature happens to you. 

You can connect with the metaphysical and how it manifests in the physical. 

You still see separation and individuality, but the focus is on what is connected. 

It’s amazing, and it’s important to have a community of support with this realization. 

Q:  I think a lot of people listening are going to be in the Coping + Creating style of sovereignty.  Can you give us 3 trips to start conscious living today? 

A:

 

 Self - Awareness - Being aware of the energy that you have, the energy that you encounter, and how to process & manage that. 

Spiritual Check Ups - We go to the doctor to get a physical check up, we need to check in with our spiritual being, the chakras.  Eclect

Topic - Practical Joy - The Key to a Life Worth Waking up For  

 

Tina Van Leuven - Best selling author, Practical Joy Alchemist, and a joyful, soulful business coach 

 

Talk about living a life of joy, what that means for our health, wealth and relationships 

 

Q:  What is a Joy Alchemist? 

 

A:  An alchemist can turn led into gold.  I help people to transform any area of their life where they’re not experiencing a lot of joy, and help them change that 

 

Q:  When we have lower vibrational thoughts, what is the process of changing that into joy? 

 

A:  Joy is a state of being, it’s part of our essence, part of who you are.  It’s a misconception that joy is something outside yourself. 

 

If you wake up feeling down, one way to play with it is to “Control-Alt-Delete” all definitions of joy that you currently have 

Allow your body and energy field to experience the truth of what joy is 

One way is to go to a favorite place in nature - be inspired 

Ask:  Where else can I experience more joy today? See where there are more things that light you up 

 

Q:  Can you talk a little bit about why a lot of us are blocked from feeling joy?

 

A:   Consciously, we ‘get’ it, that joy is something we want to experience 

 

Things that may be blocking our joy that we’re not aware of can be ancestral programming, collective conditioning, records held in the body or energy field, holding on to an idea in the mind that it’s not safe, or we’re not supported to be joyful 

When you choose joy, what you’re really saying is: “Bye-Bye to people pleasing, bye-bye to conforming to what other people want or expect, bye-bye to doing things out of obligation 

It requires the courage to be really true to yourself 

When you’re saying YES to what lights you up, when you choose to let joy be your guide, you will be different from others, and that means letting go of judgement 

 

Realize why everyone is doing what they’re doing.  BE the quality that you want to experience and live from there 

 

Q:  Is it as easy as just deepening into feelings of joy, or do we have to dissolve old programs that have created our conditioning? 

 

A:  I think it’s a bit of both.  Initially there will need to be a bit of a clearing, and after that it will be maintenance. 

 

The key is to be willing to really be present and feel what is happening in your body 

Be willing to bring joy IN to the body, into the pain, grief, sadness and be really present with what you feel and transform it 

Gradually start training your body and your nervous system to what it’s like to live in a state of joy - practice feeling a new normal 

 

Meghan:  This sounds like the total embodiment of alchemy.  Shine the light on the dark and transform - Use joy as a tool to shine awareness on other emotions 

 

Q:  Can you tell us more about the “Inner Shitty Committee” 

 

A:  For example, you think of a great inspiring idea, and:

 

Within the next 72 hours, the “Inner Shitty Committee” will come in with thoughts like:  “That’s a great idea BUT...” 

How will you do it? 

Who are you to do that?

Bringing in doubt and triggers fear of being judged, things not working 

The “Inner Shitty Committee” wants to keep things the same and keep you safe 

This can be really helpful in highlighting where judgement shows up… and then you can let go and choose to move from joy instead 

 

Q:  Are the “Inner Shitty Committee” and the Rational Mind the same thing? 

 

A:  Ya, it shows up like a perfectionist.  

You can say: “Thank you, but I’m choosing excellence over perfection” 

Excellence allows you to make mistakes and learn as you go, to evolve

If we have a belief that we have to “always get it right” and we can’t ask questions, we shut down 

How will you learn what lights you up and what makes you feel good, if you don’t allow the process of asking questions and trying different things? 

 

Q:  Have you always been able to embody joy the way you do now? 

 

I’ve always been connected to my joy, but over the years I learn
