Amila Tutundzic is a blogger, a mom of two, a researcher with a medical background, and a hobby writer. She re-discovered her love for writing during her battle with postpartum depression. Her therapist suggested writing as an outlet and little did she know how much that was going to do for her. Her ultimate goal with starting the blog was to use her experiences to write thought-provoking pieces that help build bridges into discussions that need to happen (for healing, for improvement, for moving forward)! 

Her energy is INCREDIBLE and POWERFUL, you will love this episode especially if you have thought about self-expressing and/or starting a new project or business!

What if you already know EXACTLY who you are and all you need to do is just let go of resistance?

In today's 5 minutes inspirational message, I share my thoughts on what it means to be YOU and what question to ask yourself to find the answer within yourself. 

In order to create something - be it a business, a brand, reach a career milestone or personal goal, it's important to think about and understand how to approach it from an internal perspective, meaning mindset, curiosity, and attitude but ALSO from a strategic level…Meaning using our default mode network, prefrontal cortex to figure out what we are trying to do and what steps we want to take in order to create results.

This way we can activate a superpower called FLOW. 

In this week's podcast episode I share with you the five steps of creating a strategy around your goals!

This truth has us not feeling enough about ourselves and tragically, we might not believe we are worthy of our own love.

While there are many different ways of self-love and self-care, one of my favorite ways is meditation. When we sit in silence and meditate on self-love, it allows us to remember that we are perfect, just the way we are. That we ARE worthy of love, especially our own and that love is always available to us.

Meditating gives us permission to get vulnerable with ourselves and sit with all our thoughts and feelings, rather than resisting them.

We can feel without judgment or whatever it is that we need to feel in that moment realizing that thoughts and feelings aren’t permanent.  They come and go just like clouds.

Any feeling of unworthiness is only temporary and that we can choose a better feeling at any moment.

This past weekend I led a group of about 20 women at a self-care event ran by Coda Stl and wanted to share it with you so that you have access to it any time you need a moment to step back and reconnect and receive the light and love that’s always available to you.

Growing up Carlos was painfully shy + constantly believing that others were more valuable than me. He battled with addictions to drugs + pornography + suppressed my self-expression + my sexuality to others. After experiencing breakdowns + breakthroughs in various retreats + transformational settings, he finally beat his battle with drugs, came out of the closet, + began to unapologetically own his self-expression going from the awkward one in the corner to MC’ing conscious dance parties, facilitating retreats, + life coaching. He is currently a Self-Love coach + Tik Tok content creator who works with clients to develop unapologetic self-expression + a deep sense of self-worth + love in themselves where they’re at.

Are you someone who is trying to reach a specific goal. This episode might be for you. 

Reaching goals requires shifting identity. In order to create this new identity, we must first believe, so that we can take action towards who we are trying to become, or what we are trying to accomplish. Since I have thought about this quite a bit lately as I was creating the content for my current Mastermind group I wanted to share this process for you using all the things I have learned from my coaches - I broke it out into five sections for you five stages if you will and I hope you find it helpful.

1. Getting clear on your goal and who you want to become, I am talking about measurable SMART goals.

2. Digging deep into your current belief system

3. Identifying the mental loop error

4. Solving for the error and thinking on purpose, this is the place where imagination and creativity are a must. We have to believe that it's possible for us and we must start telling a new story and answering our brain every time it offers for us to believe we can't do it or why we shouldn't do it. 

5. Receiving, accepting

I can't wait for you to hear this and would love to hear from you!

Dominique Velasquez is 42 years young, born and raised in Albuquerque, NM.

She is a wife, a mother, and recently became a grandmother. (Yay)

She is a PROUD SURVIVOR of opiate addiction.

She almost lost her life to addiction because she was ashamed to ask for help because she feared the judgment of others.  She beliefs that the stigma of addiction is the biggest reason so many others lose their life to the disease.  As difficult as it was to share her story, it was more difficult to stay quiet. She knew that by staying quiet she was supporting the stigma.

She shares her story to give others hope, and to let them know they are not alone. 

In the episode, we discuss how she broke free from the shackles of opiates with the help of a therapist, coach, her faith, and by training her own brain to take the actions needed to recover and gain her freedom back.  We also discuss: 

She shares several thought loops with us that helped her created an iron mindset.
