  • 098: The Power of Cultivating Visibility Peace in Life, Love, & Leadership

    In this episode, I peel back the curtains to my own process & go deeper into what is actually possible for you on the other side of cultivating visibility peace within your life, love, & leadership.

    This work is life-changing because of who you become in the process.

    When you change your identity (your unconscious programming & nervous system capacity)...

    You change your entire life❤️‍🔥

    I highly recommend diving into this podcast

     

    In this episode: 

    • Why I’ve pivoted the context of my new group coaching program EMBOLDEN

    • Why it’s so important to give yourself permission to experiment & pivot in your business even in the middle of launching

    • What it means to cultivate visibility peace in life, love & leadership

    • What upgrading your identity actually means

    • The ways cultivating visibility peace has transformed the lives of my clients

    • The cost of not prioritizing visibility peace

    • How Embolden is different than most group coaching programs: we focus on embodiment, somatic healing, your identity-based beliefs via your subconscious programming, your nervous system capacity & healing as a road map to returning to wholeness

     

    Join EMBOLDEN, my new group coaching program to support you in cultivating visibility peace in life, love & leadership

     

    Imagine the boldness of…

    • Detaching from the projections of other people online peacefully

    • Knowing that the amount of money you make no longer defines the greatness of your work

    • Throwing your phone in a drawer, spending quality time with yourself, your loved ones, and going without checking any social media for 3+ days without feeling guilty or pressure to be “on"

    • Liberating the way that you express yourself so that you communicate confidently, authentically and courageously as you experience so much satisfaction and pleasure within your relationships, and create the big impact and big money you know you’re so here for

    • Cultivating a deep connection to your inner fulfillment & peace so that other people's opinions & your business no longer control your emotional states

     

    This level of freedom exists for you

  • 097: T​​he Courage to Create a Beautiful Life: A Conversation with Morgan Motsinger

    In this episode, I am joined by the wonderful Morgan Motsinger (@morgan_motsinger), who I had the pleasure of meeting in Africa Brooke's Mastermind. 

    We dive deep into the courage required to make big changes in life, the importance of discomfort and discipline in creating a beautiful life, and the difference between the feeling of "no" based on fear versus knowing. 

    We also delve into deeper topics such as dealing with a child's terminal illness, connecting with one's essence even in the midst of heart-wrenching experiences, and expanding one's emotional vocabulary. 

    Join us as we discuss the importance of empowering others to do their own work and the difference between wanting to make people be like you versus letting people be who they are. 

    I can't wait for you to listen!

     

    In this episode: 

    • [00:55] Morgan shares her story, the start and end of her interior design business, her shift into school, and the main things she discusses on her social media

    • [3:26] We get into how the courageousness required to shift and transition in our lives also comes with fear.

    • [6:04] I talk about how crucial discomfort and discipline are for creating a beautiful life

    • [7:27] Understanding the No that comes from fear/insecurity versus the No that comes from knowing the value of “negative emotions

    • [10:01] The difference between the feeling or sensation of No based on fear or knowing 

    • [10:46] Being in tune with the deep knowing that you will be okay regardless of what happens

    • [11:47] Acknowledging that challenge and hardship can be in direct support of where you’re headed.

    • [13:14] Morgan shares about her Daughter’s diagnosis and the progression of the disease removing her skills over the course of 11 years. The challenges and deep discomfort of knowing your child will not make it through her teens.  

    • [16:38] Asking the question, “What do I have control over?” And how that question moved Morgan to do the internal work.

    • [20:59] Connecting to the deepest part of our essence even in the most intense, heart-wrenching experiences, and that worthiness is always a part of us, it can’t be taken away from you.

    • [22:33] “How are you able to hold such capacity in the full spectrum of this experience? How can you be both excited for life and grieving?”

    • [24:03] Redefining strength as allowing yourself to feel all the things, and listening to your needs

    • [27:51] I share my experience starting trauma therapy last year and the realization and acceptance of grief in that process

    • [28:36] Lessons from my mushroom therapy session at the beginning of last year

    • [31:00] Morgan shares about the similarities between a child’s tantrum and our own psychological patterns; it’s all about recognizing the cues and subtle shifts early enough.

    • [32:43] Bringing in self-love and compassion for yourself even when you make choices that you’re not happy about or are not helpful long-term

    • [34:05] Carving out space for our joy even when we’re going through hard times. The courage to take care of ourselves in these hard times.

    • [35:34] The sneaky guilt and shame that says that you shouldn’t be feeling joy when you are grieving or going through difficulty

    • [38:20] The heartache increases the capacity for joy

    • [39:14] I share a story around my grandma passing and the laughter that can come during the grieving process

    • [42:06] In laughter as in crying there is a purging, a release of emotions

    • [44:10] Morgan shares the value of expanding your emotional vocabulary, and the choice that comes through interpreting the events that happen every day

    • [46:19] What I feel optimism is for me, and that it is based in self-trust and trust in life

    • [48:51] Some of our work is allowing people to be exactly who they are, and that is very difficult especially when you can see what is possible for them if they could change. 

    • [50:05] Find out what works for you and share it with others as an offering for them to try

    • [52:07] The importance of empowering others to do their own work for anyone that is doing people work (Coaches, Therapists, etc.). We don’t want others to rely on you as an authority on what works for them.

    • [55:41] Everybody will come to the same understanding of choice and purpose in their life, but it may not be until something turns your world upside down

    • [56:12] Morgan shares this metaphor around the different ways of trying to “wake someone up,” and being the type of person that inspires others to ask what you’re doing to be as you are

    • [59:52] The energetic difference between wanting to make people be like me versus letting people be who they are

  • 096: Prioritizing Fulfillment: The Importance of Meeting Your Needs in Business and Life

    Today, I dive into a juicy conversation about prioritizing creating a fulfillment-focused business and why it is so important to prioritize meeting your needs.

    Understanding and defining what fulfillment means and looks like to you is something we all need to tap into.

     

    In this episode: 

    • (01:24) How we can define fulfillment and an exercise to connect with what that actually looks like for you

    • (06:31) That your business is not responsible for meeting all your needs

    • (08:18) That focusing on your business meeting all your needs becomes problematic when things aren’t happening as you think they should be or you are not prioritizing your beingness outside of your business.

    • (09:20) About reconnecting with the core of who you are, your energy, you consciousness, and reflecting on “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A. Singer

    • (10:35) Recounting an experience with a coaching client and the difficulty of prioritizing yourself and who you are being in relationship to yourself.

    • (12:00) Creating a fulfilment-focused business and what that means for you and how you show up and are oriented in the world.

    • (12:57) What it means to expand your capacity to hold more and examples of how to regulate your nervous system

    • (15:38) How so much of your fulfillment comes from your capacity to feel fulfillment in your body.

    • (18:00) The inevitable burnout that comes from not prioritizing the true liberation that comes from who you are in relationship with yourself

    • (19:58) Understanding what your needs are in any given moment and some examples of what those might be

    • (22:04) Holding in your body what it actually means to have more than enough and get your needs met by setting clear boundaries

    • (24:06) Getting clear on what you actually want to experience and how do you want to live your life

    • (27:30) The specific details on how to uncover what needs you have, where they are not being met, and getting into what is happening in the background

    • (31:01) Dismantling and dissolving all the shit in my life that has no place in where I’m headed and what that means to me

     

    I’m really curious and excited to see what comes alive for you as you uncover more and more what it actually means for you to feel fulfilled. And what in your reality right now can’t come with you and is needing to be shifted and dismantled in pursuit of allowing your bigger, bolder vision to come alive.

    Thank you so much for being here!

    So excited for you to dive into this week's episode!

  • 095: Breaking Up with the Coaching Industry: Liberating Your Expression & Embracing Your Truth

    Today, Rachael dives deep into a juicy conversation all about the potent experience where she is declaring that she is breaking up with the coaching industry. This is not about bashing the industry. This is not about breaking up with being a coach. 

    We’ll be getting into dismantling the confines and limitations around the conditioning of what you “should” do, how you “should” market, and what it means to create lasting success. Dissolving conformity and living in mediocrity by boldly cultivating and forging your own unique style in how you speak, create and show up in the world. Why so much of what’s taught is a creativity killer that creates an echo chamber of sameness. The power of choosing to leave behind what you once did and who you were even when it was financially abundant and lucrative. Liberating your expression and choosing integrity over popularity.

     

    In this episode, Rachael gets into

    • Sharing what has been so alive for her over the past 5 months, and her knowing that where she was going was going to require that she let what once was die
    • The regurgitation of ideas in the coaching industry and the conformity that comes from that cycle, which stifles creativity
    • How the echo chamber of sameness takes away from the truth of what coaching actually is, coaching is not the same as marketing your business
    • The shift that started to happen after the wedding
    • Shifting her identity through some of the deepest grief of her adult life, decomposting into a rich fertile soil for growth
    • The bravery and courage that it takes to dismantle what once was and to choose yourself even when what once was was lucrative and financially abundant
    • How the echo chamber of sameness and the marketing-focus of the coaching industry takes you out of the soul of your business
    • Feeling into what would be alive within you, what would you share, if you weren’t trying to fit into someone else’s box, into someone else’s framework
    • Contemplating the 8th gene key. Being a rebel with a cause, somebody who doesn't fit into the confines of society, who’s here to create this aliveness in the world.
    • How her mission and the business she desires is so much more than teaching the finer details of marketing and how to sell or get clients
    • That the inbetween can look like a loss of finances or things looking quite, because you’re outgrowing a lot of the ways in which you were being
    • When you’re trying to be like someone else and show up as something other than who you are, it kills your creativity
    • When she looked at who is showing up in the world in the way she wants to show up that really inspired her, they weren’t identified as being a coach.
    • The coaching industry is a niche, and she’s not into being niched-down
    • The mind-virus that tells you you are not enough, and that when you shift how you’re showing up, your art will attract those that want to work with you
    • Grieving what was once had, that what got you there isn’t where you get to go next
    • Who are we waiting for to just do it and be here now and be the fullness of who we are
    • When you claim the fullness of who you are, you are going to make people both fear you and be in awe of you
    • Are you willing to betray yourself or reject yourself in the pursuit to appease someone in some specific industry or niche?
    • How safety is an illusion if you are not being who you actually are
    • Am I being in integrity with who I’m here to be?
    • What makes this “so much” is that so many people are indoctrinated into these ways of showing up or marketing, Tik Tok is really bad for this
    • Feeling into what your bigger vision is, it requires a level of honesty with yourself
    • The pain and struggle required to really look at yourself in the mirror and ask, “who do I need to become?”
    • The difference between perseverance and resilience, in resiliency you get to take your foot off the gas to actually feel what's happening around you
    • The work of learning and choosing to let yourself feel deeply
    • Choosing your integrity over popularity
    • When you’re speaking from your center, what people receive from you supersedes the mind and is a transmission from soul to soul, it’s incredibly potent.
    • What if I’m feeling into my big vision and it’s not super clear, but I know there’s something big there?
    • Playing in the mystery, being in relationship with the unknown and existing in the deeper presence of your life

    When you let yourself be in your truth and in the fullness of your spirit and you embrace your multi-passionate essence, you ditch the labels, you ditch all the shit you’ve been taught that doesn’t serve you, the prosperity, liberation and abundance that will be birth from that place will be beyond what you ever thought possible.

    Thank you so much for being here!

    So excited for you to dive into this week's episode!

  • 094: Liberating Your Expression: The Challenge of Showing Up As Who You Actually Are

    Today, Rachael dives deep into the importance of exploring your identity and liberating your expression by being unapologetically yourself. 

    She discusses how to get clear on your self-concept and how to shift your identity, as well as how to be mindful of your actions and still embrace who you are, even if you are not for everyone.

    Additionally, Rachael emphasizes the importance of work that’s deeper than just creating success and how it's really about who you are and being liberated. Finally, she challenges listeners to consider how they are showing up in the world, and how they can move differently as they expand their visibility.      

     

    In this episode, Rachael gets into

    • How and why the identity you hold is literally where true transformation and change occurs
    • Exploring what is under the surface, the identity-based beliefs that are expansive and those that don’t support who
    • Dismantling the binary, there is always nuance and it’s all happening right here, right now 
    • The need to understand who you are being inside of what you are doing
    • Getting more clear on your self-concept and being very honest with yourself about what is actually true for you right now
    • Meeting yourself in the eyes of love to shift your core beliefs and be more embodied in what is actually true for you
    • Holding yourself through the lens of “I’ve got my back no matter what, I am unfuckwithable,” And recognizing that you are still a human being through this.
    • Shifting her identity from what she previously experienced in her childhood as she birthed her business into the world
    • Moving away from compartmentalizing who you are and embracing your multifaceted self
    • Inviting you into the question of who are you giving your power away to?
    • Is your need for acceptance greater than your need for being true to who you are?
    • The inevitability that as you grow your business and get really big that there will be moments that break your heart or shake you
    • Her belief that true fulfilment comes from devotion, self-discipline, befriending discomfort and being the type of person that can hold themselves through the wide range of sensations, not just the ease in life
    • Why it’s extremely dangerous to box yourself into a binary way of thinking, and the need to see the nuance
    • How the idea of never causing harm is an impossible fucking standard.
    • The importance of internalizing that liberated expression and being unapologetic in who you are is not synonymous with being an asshole and not being mindful.
    • If and when you believe that you have caused harm and acted out of integrity, own that and repair where that harm was caused.
    • Having discernment in what is for you and what is not, and recognizing that you can be liberated and be mindful of your actions
    • The invitation to acknowledge that you get to truly embrace who the fuck you actually are and that it’s absolutely okay that you are not for everybody.
    • That you get to change your mind, you get to evolve and grow and that different things can be true for you on different days and that’s okay.
    • Holding the emotional intelligence and the flexibility in your nervous system that is needed as you expand your visibility in the world
    • The work is so much deeper than creating success, how much money you make or how good your branding is, it’s about who the fuck you are and being liberated.
    • Things to consider around how you are showing up in the world surrounding what you allow into yourself
    • Where you’re headed next is going to ask that you move differently
    • Rachael’s passion around her upcoming mastermind Liberation

    Thank you so much for being here!

    So excited for you to dive into this week's episode!

  • 093: What I Stopped Doing to Create a Multiple-6-Figure Brand

    Today, Rachael dives deep into what she stopped doing to create a multiple-6-figure brand. This is a bit of a tough-love moment, but listening to this is surely going to awaken some fire in you!         

    In this episode, Rachael gets into

    • Her work within Africa Brooke’s Mastermind container & the new chapter she’s stepping into where her expression is totally liberated
    • A tough-love moment around what is needed to become the type of person you know you’re here to be
    • Stopping your reliance on how much money you make, how many clients you sign, or how “well” your launches go, to make you feel good about yourself
    • How she defines success in her life and business
    • What is birthed into the world when you are truly living and you feel present with the magick of your life.
    • The need to stop feeling like there is something wrong with you and start to embrace the full spectrum of your humanity
    • Believing that you get to make and receive money regardless of your emotional states.
    • How she stopped trying to convince herself why she didn’t need to invest in the spaces that her soul desired to be in.
    • One of the biggest reasons investing in working with a coach is so beyond words valuable.
    • Looking at investing as an act of self-love
    • How she stopped overanalyzing every decision her soul was desiring to make.
    • How she stopped having an “I can do it all on my own” mentality.
    • The imposter syndrome archetype of the soloist, and how she used to resonate with it the most
    • Recognizing that feeling like you need to do it all on your own is often a trauma response
    • Applying all that you’re learning and taking in and doing so even though you know it will be uncomfortable
    • How she stopped having a funky-ass relationship with how she views debt
    • Dismantling the shame of utilizing resources to fund your business
    • Holding the belief of financial overflow and what that means for finances and debt
    • A Story about joining Africa Brooke’s mastermind even when it “didn’t make sense”
    • How she stopped waiting for it to feel easy before taking action, & stopped asking for everyone else’s opinion to try to validate what she knew was already for her
    • Becoming the embodied version of that person who is holding their desired reality

    Ask yourself the Questions: Where am I still holding back? Where am I still waiting? Where do I still have this tendency to only do things that feel good in the moment? Where am I still waiting for some future timeline to give me permission to do the damn thing?

  • 092: Making Decisions with Self-Trust and Integrity

    In this episode, Rachael shares two super important pieces that have helped her build a multiple-six-figure brand & feel grounded in her integrity throughout the process.

     

    In this episode, Rachael gets into

    • The importance of understanding that there is always more to learn and ways to grow.
    • The beauty of working in different spaces and experiencing the unique tone and perspective of another coach or teacher.
    • The beginner’s mind in the world of social media and marketing, and being willing to be bad at something new in the pursuit of becoming great
    • Applying a beginner’s mind with everything in your life, avoiding the “I know it all” attitude and being open to receiving coaching and challenging your perspectives
    • Consistently investing in the spaces and people that expand you.
    • Her investments in herself
    • The nuance of investing in yourself, that you don’t “need” to invest, but what happens when you do follow your desires and invest
    • Receiving support as someone who supports others, and the very real human emotions that come from being human
    • How valuable support from others is in her being able to show up in the capacity that she does
    • Taking a long-term view of investment, knowing that the return on investment won’t necessarily happen overnight, but doing it anyways.
    • Utilizing the resources that are available to you, and the weird distinction between student loans and credit cards or business loans
    • The difference between debt and investing in yourself, your vision and your dreams
    • Investing in a container with a teacher or coach is about so much more than just the information that will be provided, it’s about who you become in the process
    • Why investing in a mastermind is so f*cking powerful, and the amazing magick and community that occurs with all the other people in the space with you  
    • Expanding your vulnerability edges through masterminds, and showing up as yourself and for yourself in the edginess of being in community
    • The difference between a 1-on-1 container and a Mastermind, and the exponential growth that’s possible by rising alongside other leaders
    • Making decisions that are in alignment and integrity with who you desire to be, not just what you see in front of you or who you see in front of you
    • Having self-trust as a foundational aspect in making decisions about investing in yourself and your business, and trusting that the decisions you make are for your fulfillment and desires
    • How feeling nervous to jump into what’s unfamiliar is normal, but to not let that keep you back and to learn to expand your ability to tolerate that discomfort
    • The relationship with mentorship, coaching, your business and money, and asking yourself what you need right now and who do you need to become to achieve your desires

     Thank you so much for being here!

     

    So excited for you to dive into this week's episode!
