Lili Hernandez was driving to work one day and started crying.  Her 1.5 hour commute each way and stressful job as Director of an Agency serving underprivileged families was stressing her out more and more. As a licensed therapist and life coach she knew the importance of taking care of her own mental health, but was started to feel the need to make a change. For an hour she got curious, "what is this about" she asked herself and heard "I need soul CPR." In that moment she knew her soul was dying. 

She was doing all the things, the massages, salt baths, meditation, gardening, but nothing was working to make her feel better. She got a therapist and they discovered her trauma bond with work. The trauma bond is when you are peak performing, but your employer or partner criticizes and demands more and more, and you think "if you try harder and do better" everything will be OK. So you double down, you work longer hours, you try to exceed expectations, but nothing is working. Tempers flare, conflicts arise, there's an outburst, then seeming resolution and you cycle like this over and over until you just can't do it anymore. She came up with a strategy to leave.  Having just purchased her dream home on her salary, she had to take a leap of faith to start her own full time practice.  The pandemic and working from home came at the right time. She was able to leverage that commute time and take on more private clients.

We talked about how sacred it is to take care of ourselves and honor our own soul knowing. How our cultural programming teaches us to be good girls and do what is expected of us and "behave" but you know what? F the good girl! We need to save ourselves! We need to learn to choose what is right for us and slot into our soul missions here to do the work we are here to do. It takes courage and faith, but once you take the leap, everything starts to align. When we align with our truth, the Universe supports us with clients and opportunities. She recently launched her own podcast "Las Beauty's" which can be found on Spotify, Apple, Google and more.

Maggie Goleniak was born and raised in Poland. She has always been an artist and received her degree in Fine Art from University of Silesia in Poland. She moved to UK after graduation. After her Energy Healing Certifications her connection to the higher realms began opening up. This was the beginning of her intuitive painting.   It was difficult to paint intuitively after the structure of Art School. She encourages us all to do what we love. The energies and alignment of the New Earth doesn't support being stuck or doing things that do not align. Her paintings help and support people who buy her paintings because they speak to them. There's a feeling there, which is light encoded frequency in the paintings that people feel.  The more intuitive painting began just before 2018. We naturally live from the heart. Creativity broadens connection to ourselves. With the Pandemic, she quit her job and felt so free to pursue her love of painting. Breaking down  infrastructures during this pandemic is really creating something new. The pandemic allowed us all to connect more with ourselves. Earning and being in the hustle and striving to be on the top is no longer supported. You lose yourself in that.  Maggie teaches Intuitive art which starts with guided meditation. It's a healing session. The frequency of colors heals you. These are holistic healing sessions connecting to your inner self. She holds energy for the individuals.  It's important to clear unworthiness, things from past lives, and allow our soul to choose the path forward. She helps you go deep, recognize the programming.  People don't want to look at that.  Your higher self will push you towards your work, you are ready. It's about losing your identification with everything external.  We naturally live from the heart which is connected to the Universe and Galaxy.  We are light beings. We are upgrading our DNA coding and shifting perspectives. Our body is just the vessel for the soul.   We are creators! Spend time every day connecting to yourself, drink your tea or coffee, take a walk.  We create by holding ourselves in this now moment. It impacts how we perceive our identity with things.  We are not defined by these things. We are always whole and complete.  Go back to the breath, come back to presence.  Maggie is a guide to discover beauty and creativity within. Her sessions begin with meditation to help people connect to themselves.  Art is healing, the colors, the structure and how you paint supports you.

This rich parenting conversation talks about the value of learning to respond instead of react to your kids, the very real feelings of failing as a mom, and taking time for yourself without guilt.  We aren't taught how to hold space for ourselves or how to feel our feelings instead of suppressing feelings. It's OK for parents to ask for help.  The story as moms that "I'm not good enough" is pervasive. Learn to trust your instincts with your kids.  Her son had a tongue tie and if she hadn't followed her instincts and had corrective surgery it could have resulted in speech issues as he got older. She learned so much on her parenting journey including how to let go and the need to be right.  Krystal was a vegan and was so convinced her way was the way, but experience has taught her that it's OK to change your mind, to follow your inner guidance even if it is leading you to change your beliefs like eating a hamburger because her body craved meat protein and allowing her son and not adhering to the strict beliefs she once held.  Adaptability and flexibility allows moms not to be so hard on themselves.    Krystal is a creative writer and you can follow her blog here: https://www.TheUMom.com which stands for The Unconventional Mom. You can also follow her on Instagram @The_U_Mom and while she talks a lot about parenting it all comes back to you as a Mom to get curious and ask yourself why you are feeling coming up for you as a parent.  These could be feelings of not being good enough, failure, stress, fatigue.  Whatever it is, feel your feelings and release the judgment.  Let go of the negative self talk, and nurture yourself.  Wendy Hutchinson the show host is an Ascension Coach and owner of Alinea Life Coaching.  Sign up for her newsletter or read her blog here:  Https://www.alinealifecoaching.com Here latest book "Finding the Path of Me" is available on Amazon, and other platforms here:  https://books2read.com/finding-the-pa...

Jenette Serrins Owner of Being in LA and Jenette All Natural Skin Care is a force when it comes to healing the skin. Her spa Being in LA caters to those seeking holistic healing therapy for the skin supported by her incredible product lines sold through Jenette All Natural Skin Care.  We talked about her journey and early exposure to working at a spa that her mom owned to where she is today.  Everything she does is totally researched and sourced at the purist levels. All formulations not only heal and support the skin, but they also feel and smell amazing.    Jenette's partner Cutter is also a vital part of the business and his support has helped both businesses grow and thrive.  Together they have formed a symbiotic relationship which blossomed from a friendship many years ago. Their how we met story is remarkable.    We also discuss how Covid impacted her family and business and how dynamics changed and everyone grew from the experience.  Her priority is to bring integrity to everything she does from working with clients with facials and light therapy to formulating new products for the skin care line.

Dr. Stella Aubert gets real and vulnerable speaking about a really difficult childhood.  It resulted in her developing an eating disorder followed by depression and her desire to heal holistically rather than through traditional western medicine.  As a baby she developed an ear infection and after one day on antibiotics she went gray and wasn't herself so her mom took her to a chiropractor who within 24 hours of being treated healed her.    This experience and monthly visits thereafter for health and wellness introduced her to the concept of holistic healing. Unfortunately, her emotions around her family dynamics and childhood went unchecked and she was diagnosed in her 20's with leukemia and given 6-8 months to live.  She was not in contact with any family members at the time, and was determined to heal herself. She had an inner knowing that her illness was the physical manifestation of unhealed emotional trauma.  She quit her job, slept like 16 hours a day, ate smoothies, and took care of herself. After she healed she realized she needed to call her mom and invited her to come spend some time with her and they ended up driving across country back home to Charleston, S.C. and had a lot of conversation and healing between them. After regrouping and working at a hotel in Charleston for awhile, she decided to pursue a career in holistic medicine.    She became a Chiropractor and worked in Portland, Oregon with the homeless on skid row.  She found that when she spent time with her clients and allowed them a safe space to tell their story, healing was happening. This is when she fully understood that healing is more than just medical, it's about healing the mind body and soul. Her work today is focused on helping people heal from all kinds of illness by working one on one with them.  You can learn more about her work at https://www.draubert.comand visit her FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Dr.StellaMic...or Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr._stella....

Goal Coach Melissa McCloud just published a book called Life Abroad detailing beautiful experiences and challenges from living abroad with a young family.  She expected change and growth but she got more than she bargained for with terrorist bombings in Sri Lanka blocks from home, a Pandemic lockdown and enforced martial law for 3 months, where she couldn't leave her building - not even to get food!  Her goal was to have her children experience real life, face adversity, grow from living in a different culture.  She didn't want their frame of reference to only be privileged white kids living in an affluent neighborhood.  She taught them how to face adversity and overcome it. Cultural immersion training did not teach her how to deal with pandemic lockdown, martial law, and terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.  She did not know you should have 1 month's supply of food at all times and how living in a caste system would create more empathy and connection for humanity.  We are all the same as humans, this belief was reinforced throughout her entire expat experience.    Melissa has had a successful career working from home and juggling kids while finding time to work out, navigate parenting challenges during the pandemic, while learning to be adaptable!  Her career as a goal coach has aligned perfectly with her desire to be in service to other women looking to live their best lives.  She went through a year long program called Lightyear Leadership while being on lockdown during the pandemic in addition to other coaching certification programs.    Sri Lanka's education system is based on a British Curriculum and system.  Kindergarten is called year 1 and it's rigorous.  Coming from the U.S. with a more casual approach to school finding the right school for the kids was challenging.  Moving to London, at least she had more options in terms of educating her children.  London required more adaptability as she learned that she was making all kinds of faux pas culturally being naturally outgoing.  They are very private people and don't share their names, which she discovered only after introducing herself to neighbors who were somewhat taken aback by her open friendly manner and personality.  Luckily she is adaptable and has settled into the English way of life.   The one thing that has helped her cope with all the stress the past few years have created has been her commitment to fitness and creating space for herself.  She focused on getting 10,000 steps a day by walking around her complex in Sri Lanka.  She woke up to take the Lightyear Leadership classes at 3:30 a.m. finding precious "me" time before her kids woke up.  The classes were based in the U.S. while she was in Sri Lanka, so the time difference required quite a commitment on her part.    Since moving to London, Melissa published a book called "Life Abroad" to document all those memories for her children.  It's available on Amazon.  She also published "What the Tuk" after the Sri Lankan bombings to give back proceeds to the community.  You can learn more about Melissa on her website:  https://www.melissamccloud.co and join her on FB, Instagram Stories.

Relationship and Intimacy Expert Allana Pratt talked about her childhood with an abusive father and how his violence and addiction created this feeling of vulnerability and fear in her at an early age.  She had to be hyper vigilant and on point to avoid the wrath which created a need to be perfect and accepted by people in her life.  This began her life long journey of seeking approval and the relationships that mirrored to her the lesson of healing and knowing her own self worth.

At a young age she dropped out of college and hitched ride on a Semi her uncle was driving down to L.A. with the dream of being a dancer.  Without a green card her only option was to accept a dancing opportunity in the Four Seasons Japan.  It was through dancing topless and sharing her feelings with her fellow French dancers of feeling a bit dirty and ashamed, they taught her that her body is a temple to be loved.  She embraced the goddess within learning to transmute that gross energy coming from the men into respect and bowing to her as she performed.

She then met and married a multimillionaire and being young she found herself deferring to his knowledge, wealth and success and diminishing herself and self esteem.  She was enticed by the 5 star vacations and luxury lifestyle they had in N.Y. to stay, but ultimately had to choose herself and divorced him.  

Shortly thereafter she met husband number two and the father of her son Gabriel.  She was vulnerable at the time because her mom was dying of cancer.  She had a spiritual awareness as she looked at her mom's lifeless body that she was moving through pain towards love, then 9 months later had the reverse experience with the birth of her son, experiencing pure love that switched to fear and pain wondering how she would care for this precious baby.  Her marriage fell apart shortly after turning into a 13 year custody battle where her reputation was tarnished and cost her $250,000 and losing her home.  Her ex fought dirty during the custody battle and at the end of 13 years her son made a huge show of wanting to live with his Dad.  The door was open so his father could witness the whole thing.  This left her absolutely gutted as she crumpled on the floor.  

She has since done energy work and her own healing process to fully let go of her son Gabe who she hasn't had contact with in 2 years. There has been a tremendous growth in her surrender.  Since then her business has thrived as a Relationship Coach, published author of 6 books, guest appearances on major networks including coaching Leeza Gibbons on Dancing with the Stars. She is currently creating a relationship app called Heart Mates where you become the ONE to attract the ONE and made a bold decision to go to India for a few months to make sure the app is done right!

Maria Krause CEO of Unchain Your Inner Strength empowers women to come back to their authentic selves. As a spiritual mindset and alignment mentor, and International Best-Selling Author she helps women understand themselves through their stories and peel off the layers that no longer serve them. Her company includes a Podcast, Online Magazine Publishing company and now an online clothing store! Trigger warning, we discuss a sexual assault that happened to her many years ago. If you have had some trauma around this, please check in with yourself to see if it feels appropriate for you to listen to our conversation. After she was sexually assaulted Maria lost herself in drugs and alcohol. She was engaging in self-destructive behaviors and avoiding the healing necessary from being aggressively sexually assaulted. She wanted to be loved and sought out and attracted toxic relationships because she felt she could only be loved through sex. Society often blames the women when they are assaulted, in this case, someone drugged her drink when she was out at a club in NYC. At the age of 36 she met a man, her intuition told her to run, but her need to be loved and seen trumped her intuition. Turns out he was a narcissist and totally controlling. She lost herself and developed physical illness like IBS and skin issues on her hands in addition to depression. Her body was in constant pain and mentally she went through a very dark time. A dark night of the soul. Slowly she started pulling back from this guy. She was finishing college and changed jobs. She didn't want the part lifestyle anymore or the relationship. She couldn't take it anymore and when he got physically violent, she left Ireland to move home to Argentina. She was so lonely but needed the time to heal. The narcissist will never change. They have low self-esteem and will not allow you to feel good about yourself because they feel bad about themselves. They will pull you down. Therapy for the narcissist makes them better liars, they do not heal. She completely lost herself, no personality, only depended on him to define and see her. When she arrived home, she had a lot of anger, sadness and was numb. she stopped drinking and drugs; she couldn't be there anymore. She started back to yoga, went for walks. She realized she wanted to support women with their own empowerment, to release shame and guilt.

You can connect with her here: https://Mariackrause.com

She is now 1 year sober after 4 attempts. She lost self-doubt and views her life from a different perspective. She recognizes as an empath what is hers and gives back what is not. She realized what drinking and drugs were costing her. Letting go of shame and guilt was key. You find your freedom when you find your truth, we are here to be ourselves!

Kelly Marshall is a is a Prosperity Advisor for women with conscious service businesses.  She is also a Money Breakthrough Business Coach.  We talked about the  Law of Attraction, Energy Alchemy and how we need to get clear on our value to shift our money mindset.    Our intention around how we live our lives impacts the people around  us.  She had to gain clarity around how to marry her linear accounting business mind with her intuitive life (energy, Reiki, healing, and spirituality).   How could she integrate both into a business? After years of working as an accountant she started a side hustle bookkeeping business.   She knew from her Human Design Chart that the early part of her life was meant to provide a very grounded foundation for her life purpose of helping people with that knowledge.   Her corporate career ended when she went to work for a Health and Wellness Center doing both coaching and accounting.   It was there that she got clarity on the kind of clients she wanted to attract. Conscious Entrepreneurs felt aligned to her.  She realized after working at the Wellness Center that alignment and authenticity were important to her.  She formed her LLC and got more intentional about attracting clients.  We talked about how we rationalize what's not aligned and stay in situations not meant to support us.  How fear programs keep us from trusting ourselves, blocks opportunities and creates a negative narrative.  We manifest truth both positive and negative.  Check in on why you are doing what you are doing.  What is your why?  Get intentional about who you are and why you are here.    Coaching is helpful but look within.  Good coaches ask questions that lead you to your own answers.  Trust the parachute will open.   Kelly loves helping you discover who you are becoming to grow your business.  Becoming an entrepreneur creates a lot of personal growth.  There's often a war between your heart and head.  Understanding energy alchemy and knowing your value allows you to price accordingly.   She offers the suggestion to write down 30 ways you are impacting your clients to see your value.    CLAIM YOUR GREATNESS!

Krystal Martinez often felt alone in her childhood.  At the age of 8 she realized she was on her own. Her Mom told her she knew she was capable and she didn't have to worry about her, which translated into basically no parenting.  She was emotionally abandoned as a child but resourceful and intelligent and figured things out.   She lived in survival mode, living an unconscious life of black out drinking.   She was really smart and high functioning and graduated from college and went on to get her Masters degree.  She was recently laid off from her job in Fundraising in higher education.  While she was studying abroad her drinking came to an abrupt halt after blacking out on a sidewalk in Spain.   She was never interested in anything spiritual as a child but she did rely on her own instincts and trust herself to survive and thrive.  In her early 20's Krystal tried a Reiki session.  Nothing much happened but she decided to go back for a second one.  Her mind  and consciousness was blown wide open.    She felt like a vortex opened and she was having like a psychedelic trip only she wasn't on drugs.  She was seeing movies in her third eye, she saw things coming at her and experiencing really wild sensory things.   She called the practitioner who explained it was the energy.  It was like a psychic light switch turned on.  From that point on she was fully psychic.  She started taking classes from her reiki instructor, but then moved onto to giving readings, doing her own free form energy work, pulling from lifetimes of memories as a healer.  She began using crystals.  All of it was just natural and organic.  She even began reading sand.    Throughout this time she was experiencing very physical loss.  Her Dad passed away at the age of 5, her Uncle who was the only father figure she had died 10 years later, then her mom had a very intense passing.  She adopted her 6 year old brother who came to live with her and she went through a deep depression.   At that time she was drinking again and her husband told her she was just checked out.   By this time she found a Marconics Energy Practitioner who sat down with her for a consult.   She wanted a recalibration right away.     During her Marconic Recalibration she had a lot of visions one of which was a baby floating above her that said "Hi Mommy!"  4 days later it was confirmed she was pregnant even though a prior test showed negative.   This expanded her consciousness even more and gave her more clarity around the work she wanted to do which was related to Ascension and keeping your vibe high!  This entire time she was shedding and releasing old programming and healing her inner wounds.    She has since started her business Grace Solutions, LLC which is a property preservation company.  She has also been creating amazing poetry which she will be publishing in the near future.
