This week on the UpLevel Podcast, we’re experiencing a refreshing and empowering perspective from our special guest, Anabel Vizcarra, a Feminine Embodiment and Womb Wisdom Mentor. She is a visionary thinker who believes that crisis, chaos, and change are not just challenges to overcome but are extraordinary opportunities for rebirth and evolution—personally and collectively.

Anabel highlights her powerful metaphor of menstruation to describe our global state, just as the body cleanses itself during this natural cycle, shedding what is no longer needed for growth. She also shares how emotions are our allies and how we can confront and overcome our shadows so darkness will no longer hold us.

Anabel’s wisdom is truly overflowing.

In this Episode:

• Listen to how Anabel compares the global state to a period of menstruation where humanity is shedding what no longer serves its evolution.
• Explore how chaotic times can be seen as an opportunity for deep healing.
• A discussion about reevaluating business cycles that are currently operating from outdated models, emphasizing creativity over traditional brick-and-mortar approaches.
• A fascinating look at how aligning team roles based on individual menstrual cycles can enhance efficiency in business operations.
• Anabel shares an embodied practice focused on grounding oneself through belly breathing to cultivate presence over presentation—a crucial skill for leaders facing high-stress environments.
• Insights into cultivating inner wealth that includes relationships, community, and environment—transcending the poverty mindset, which isn't necessarily tied to financial status.
• A discussion on balancing spiritual integrity while embracing material success. 
• From real estate entrepreneur at 18 dealing with personal struggles like workaholism and eating disorders to finding her calling in womb shamanism while maintaining worldly achievements.
• Tips on regulating emotions effectively within leadership roles without being overwhelmed by responsibilities or external pressures.
• Striving towards sovereignty rather than letting possessions define one’s identity, utilizing them as tools for self-expression instead.

About Anabel:
Anabel Vizcarra is a Feminine Embodiment Mentor & Womb Wisdom Curandera. She teaches how to awaken and return to your own wise and prosperous wholeness through self-awareness, ancestral wisdom & emotional mastery. She believes that when we work with our own intelligent body rhythms, we naturally, remember the feminine energy we’ve disconnected from and are able to transform relationally and heal our lives. When we know where we come from, we embrace why we are here. Anabel guides women into trusting their own healing process & reconnecting to their inner source of potent feminine wisdom. Anabel’s body of work is a Womb Revival Movement informed by Womb Shamanism, Somatic Psychotherapy, Gene Keys Transmission, Ayurvedic medicine, Quantum Physics & Epigenetics.

In this week’s episode of the UpLevel Podcast, we had the privilege of having an intimate conversation with international best-selling author and global business consultant Lynn Abaté-Johnson. Her book "Out of Love: A Daughter's Journey with Her Mom to the End," provides inspiration as she shares her journey as a caregiver for her mother.

Lynn’s story is proof that even in times of immense hardship, we can find strength within ourselves to inspire and uplift those around us by sharing our experiences honestly.

In this Episode:

• Caregiving Experience: Learn about Lynn’s transformative journey from being a business consultant to a full-time caregiver for her mother suffering from ovarian cancer.
• Writing as Therapy: Discover how journaling became a cathartic outlet for Lynn during challenging times and eventually led to the creation of her book.

• Writing Tips and Advice: Gain insights from Lynn's non-structured writing approach that emphasizes authenticity over comparison.
• Reflective Questions: Find out how inquiry questions help readers reflect on their own caregiving journeys.

About Lynn:
After being a primary caregiver for her mother for over six years, author Lynn Abaté-Johnson understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that come with caring for a loved one. However, she discovered how to blossom through (and after) caregiving rather than let it drown her. Like most caregivers, Lynn juggled caregiving duties with a full-time career. In her daily life, she’s a business consultant and global community builder. 

She’s been building businesses from the ground up from a young age, with her first business being a network of family roller skating rinks in the Detroit, Michigan, metro area. She is currently growing the global community as “the voice” of the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), one of the world’s most respected leadership development and professional coach training organizations.

As part of her devotion to developing global communities that make a difference by connecting human beings, she speaks with cohorts of caregivers to help them discover they’re not alone, everything’s going to be okay, and there are tools they can use to ease the burdens they might feel as caregivers.
