Efia went through the foster system as a baby and was adopted into a loving home when she was three years old. When she lost her mom at 14 years old, Efia became orphaned. Living in Scotland as a person of color, and losing her mom (and grandma, too) affected Efia’s mental health big time.

Rather than experiencing grief, she “powered through”, becoming an overachiever and excelling on the surface. But inside, she was crumbling - lost and unsure how to navigate this world.

Now Efia is on a mission working as a Mindset & Manifestation Coach teaching women how to confidently manifest their desires, stop playing small, and live their EXTRAORDINARY lives.

In this episode we cover:

• Intention vs. Embodiment
• Why striving for “mediocre” can be okay
• Why your highest self is your truest self
• How to uproot your subconscious limiting beliefs
• The science of conscious vs subconscious thinking + how journaling can help! 

GUEST INFO:

Efia is a Mindset & Manifestation Coach, host of ‘The Manifest Edit Podcast’, and creator of the V.I.B.E.S method for aligned manifestation. Her mission is to empower and teach ambitious women how to stop playing small and access their innate magic so they can expand their current reality. 

She’s extremely passionate about helping women create their own permission slips for the extraordinary lives they want to live and the gifts they deeply desire to share with the world. 

Serving as a practical example of her work after being orphaned at 14, grappling with mental illness and chronic pain to then moving overseas and building her soul-aligned life + business, Efia has inspired thousands around the world to create their lives by design.

Through her coaching Efia highlights the strategy, science, and spirituality behind manifestation in order to provide actionable advice from a grounded, no BS perspective.

Madeline built a strong following after creating easy to follow recipes made specifically for the Whole 30 community. But over time, she realized she was perpetuating diet culture which she wanted to escape herself. She pivoted personally, and professionally - losing followers and income immediately - but retaining her authenticity. Madeline shares tips and tools to become a blogger without completely relying on social media. 

Madeline is unique because aside from food, she also shares intimate parts of her life - including the realities of being in a gay marriage, food and body image struggles, and her fertility journey– all for the hopes of helping others.

Lisa + Madeline discuss:

• Authenticity: A behind the scenes look at what it ACTUALLY means?
• How Madeline became a full time food blogger that’s financially successful WITHOUT social media.
• Hate comments: why + how Madeline doesn’t internalize comments she gets.  
• Sexuality: why who you’re ATTRACTED to may not determine your SEXUALITY.
• Fertility: anonymous sperm donation and her journey.
• and more!

Alexis Joseph is the OG blogger and Registered Dietitian behind Hummusapien.com and Alchemy Brands. In the last two years, Alexis got married, had a baby, underwent a month-long pre-birth hospitalization, and was involved in a serious car accident. Alexis took a new look at her life, reflected on her perfectionistic traits, and learned to make HARD CHOICES – and now she’s free.

Lisa and Alexis break down why:

• we procrastinate doing things we perceive as difficult
• making choices is universally hard
• life as an overachiever + perfectionist 
• and the importance of doing EGO work to find happiness.

In this second part, we learn about DOS, the sex cult within NXIUM. how it came to be, and the manipulating ways Sylvie got roped in. We learn how she met her husband, and Keith’s “rules” she had to follow, what her family thought, and how it eventually all fell apart. 

Content warning: Sexual abuse 

Sylvie Lloyd is now a mother to a beautiful baby girl. From ages 18-32, she was a member of NXIUM + DOS, described as “an American cult that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor and racketeering.”  Her brain was molded by the teachings of the convicted Keith Reineire, and she was the first witness in the federal case. She is a powerful woman we can expect A LOT from in our lifetime.

In this first part of Surviving a Sex Cult ft. Sylvie Lloyd, we learn about the “cult” called NXIUM: how Sylvie got involved, her first introduction to Keith, and how her reality was warped by his “teachings”. Sylvie was the first witness to testify against Keith: she shares the humiliating story behind the trial and why she’s stayed away from the media since.  She also shares why she’s sharing her story with us and has a message for all victims.
