The Power and Potential Podcast with Miriam Buttu

Have you ever heard of the term Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? I've been hearing it for a while and I was so curious to dive into the details with Leah Walsh.

Leah works with people who are highly sensitive. These are quiet & powerful leaders who want to be seen & heard but struggle with overwhelm, self-doubt, and a lack of clarity on how to create their ideal lifestyle. She offers one-on-one coaching and experience-based playshops so that they can ground their confidence, awaken their impact, and live fully expressed.

By the end of this episode, I was super curious to find out if I am an HSP and I committed to doing the assessment in the links below. To find out my results, come over to Instagram today (April 25) at 3:00 pm EST for an Instagram Live with Leah and I. (It'll be up for 24 hours only, so don't miss it!)

I hope you enjoy this interview and I hope you gain perspective on whether or not you, or others in your life, are a Highly Sensitive Person.

When you're done listening, let me know below in the comments: What was your greatest takeaway from this episode? How has this episode impacted you? I would love to hear.

Assessment - Are you an HSP?

In this episode, I open up heart-to-heart about my struggle with hair loss. This condition is nothing new in my life, but the courage to talk about publicly most certainly is.

It's time to talk about the shame that our imperfections bring us and how we give them power they just do not deserve. It's time to learn how to take back that power for ourselves, so we can finally grow into our full potential.

Do you know what it feels like to be in complete dis-alignment? Even if it's just in that one area of your life where things just never feel right?

I have been there many more times than I can count, and I believe that these situations are precisely what we need to show us the path to alignment.

My guest on this week's episode is Sarah Ezcurra and during our conversation, she shares with us exactly how to go about identifying your core values, and how to align every part of your life with those values.

Sarah serves the world by helping creatives get results with clear, actionable strategies to reach specific goals. Through years of experience doing this, she has come to know what it takes to create strategies that work. She loves to give entrepreneurs tools to identify and live from their core values, then implement them in their life and business.

Her own business, The Maui Collective, began with live events for entrepreneurs and professionals on the little island of Maui. The focus has since expanded to impacting creatives beyond Maui with tools and resources to achieve both business and heart health.

This is an incredibly powerful episode with strong potential to change your life IF you are brave enough to implement some changes.

And I know you are!

I hope you enjoy it. And if you do, please don't forget to hit subscribe inside your podcast app to make sure you never miss another incredible episode again!

If you're anything like me, then you know what true resistance feels like when you're working on become the very best version of yourself!

This short pep talk is from me to you with so much love. It's time to put these practical tips into action and G.E.T. O.U.T of the way!

Enjoy :)

Wondering why you aren't achieving some of the goals you're setting out to achieve? You may be dealing with the most critical of all critics - the one within.

For many of us, we don't even notice that little voice in our heads, or if we do, we believe it is who we are and that we can't change it.

The good news is that we can, and in this episode, Taylor Neely explains how we can go about that. Taylor Neely is a personal trainer and workshop facilitator that helps her clients focus on their mental health as they go through their journey to improve their physical health.

Taylor has been a competitive athlete for most of her life and felt a strong gap in her own life when it came to her physical and mental health. Through her own personal growth, she realized the importance of self awareness and transforming our self talk from negative to positive, and ultimately how these things influence the outcome of every single thing we aim to achieve in our lives.

I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do, take a screen shot and let me know over on Instagram or leave a review for the podcast over on iTunes! Both of these small actions go a long way!

Is there something in your mind that you really, really want but on some level you almost don't believe it's possible? Or even worse, does every one around you tell you straight to your face that what you're after is never going to happen?

Well, my guest on this week's episode knows all about that! Troy Campbell achieved incredible success in the world of fitness and bodybuilding, without any drugs, despite the fact that everyone around him said he'd never be able to do it. 

He persisted and persisted, and years later...he looks like this. ---> Troy has now used this incredible success to launch a brand new career in acting. In this episode, Troy talks about important barriers that we must overcome on the way to our dreams, like surrounding ourselves with people who understand and support our goals. 

If you are on a mission to achieve something big, then you are going to love this episode!

Have you ever been super confused about your identity? I remember a very specific time in my life when I was super confident that I had figured out everything there is to know about myself.

It's honestly almost laughable now, because now I know that you can never ever know everything there is to know about yourself! Because you are always changing and evolving, and that's the beautiful thing about being human, isn't it?

When I decided that I knew everything about who I was, I stopped growing.

It took me years to realize that the reason I was so miserable was because I had completely lost touch with who I was. My sense of identity was completely out of date. It was old and was overdue for an update.

When I re-committed to figuring out who I was, I was shocked at how much I had changed over the short few years. And as soon as I finally realized that I can never stop learning about myself, my growth skyrocketed.

So when Virginia Gronley told me that she strongly believes in the Law of Awareness - in order to grow yourself, you must know yourself - I knew it was imperative that I have her on the podcast!

Virginia is a leadership speaker, coach and trainer and her mission is to help individuals, teams and businesses develop their leadership skills. She has worked in the leadership world for over 20 years and has led over 100 training events helping individuals, teams and businesses maximize potential, enhance engagement, performance and productivity.

I know that you are going to love this episode! And when you're done listening, be sure to take a screenshot and tag me (@miriambuttu) and Virginia (@virginiagronley) on Instagram and let us know what you think!

I was so frustrated with myself and was desperate for a change in December of 2015. I had huge dreams but I wasn't taking any action. I would start new projects and drop them as soon as it got hard.

Everyday I asked myself how it was ever going to be possible to achieve ANY of my goals if I wasn't able to be consistent. And there it was...my 2016 word of the year was born. Consistency.

I went on to create my first blog and wrote a brand new post every single week. So many things shifted that year because of my word/theme for the year, and one of those things was my ability to trust my own commitments to myself. And wow was that ever powerful! 

That's why I had to have Robin Finney on this podcast as the first post for 2019! In 2018, she lived her intention of Bold Freedom to the fullest by quitting her corporate job of nearly 11 years and letting go of many of her possessions to follow her dream of traveling the world. Now, she is a nomad, writer, self-made international model, yogi, and Wandering Aunt.

As a yoga student and teacher, Robin knows the importance of setting intentions and has seen firsthand how powerful they can be, and that's exactly what she shared with us today during this interview.

Have a listen! Once you're done, we want to hear what your word of the year is and I tell you exactly how to share it with us at the end of the episode. Enjoy!

2019 is right around the corner, or maybe it's already here by the time you're reading this! Either way, have you prepared yourself for the fresh start by getting super intentional about what you want to change in the new year?

Look, all of us want to change. Every single person I know wants to change. The problem is that most people don't know HOW to do it. And that is exactly what I help you do in this episode.

By the way, this episode is essentially the Part Two to Episode 11, where I led you in reviewing the last year in order to be able to plan right for 2019. Unfortunately, you can't do one without the other! So if you haven't listened to Episode 11 yet, you can find it right here, and don't forget to scoop up the free downloadable workbook I created for you to make the whole process easier. 

This episode gives you 3 simple questions to use as a framework to integrate more of what you want more of in your life, and to slowly eliminate what you want less of in your life. 

This process is a game changer, especially after you've reviewed your last year following the process I shared in Episode 11. Once you've put in the work, don't forget to send me a message and let me know what you thought! 

Happy planning!! Xx

As someone who practices yoga and meditation, I was blown away at all the wisdom that was shared in this interview with Trish Tutton. Lightbulb moments, epiphanies, full circle realizations, the whole nine yards!!

Trish is a Speaker, Yoga and Mindfulness teacher, a graduate of theatre school and a lifelong student. She is curious about how being more present can make us happier and healthier. Her passion for sharing mindfulness comes from her own experience of working in the corporate and non-profit sector. During this time, she experienced the incredible benefits of having a mindfulness practice. She was more energized, happy and focused, and felt better equipped to manage the stresses of her work. She has taught hundreds of professionals how to transition from overwhelmed and ineffective to focused and efficient.

I walked away from this conversation feeling super empowered and with a much deeper sense of knowledge and control over my life. I cannot wait for you to listen in to this episode and once you're done, please come on over and share your thoughts with myself and Trish over on Instagram!
