The Well Aligned Life Podcast // LIFE LESSONS & BUSINESS BREAKTHROUGHS for FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS

I have taken the Passion Test multiple times before becoming a certified facilitator of The Passion Test.  

The Purpose of The Passion Test is to gain CLARITY in life and your career. This should be understood before we begin manifesting anything!

“When you are clear, what you want will show up in your life and only to the extent you are clear.” -Janet Bray Attwood 

Clarity does not come all at once. It is a process. The Passion Test supports the process of gaining clarity by forcing us to choose what really means the most to us. Then it gives us a simple barometer in our top 5 passions against which to measure every choice we make in our lives.

While the things that appear in one’s life after taking The Passion Test and gaining greater clarity often appear magical, living life aligned with one’s passions is not a passive process. Having completed the entire Passion Test process, it is critical to begin taking action in whatever direction feels like it will move us toward living our passions more completely.

Hello, friends!

Terri Paige is my guest today, and I want to begin by sharing a golden nugget of advice Terri shared with us all - even if you dislike your job/career today, remember the knowledge you gain from that unsavory job will have value in the future!

We discuss Terri's journey from a career as an accountant to her current role as CEO of Medical Transformation Center, and how this career journey came from a health crisis.

A little about my guest:

Terri Paige is the CEO and co-founder of Medical Transformation Center, and the co-creator of Regenavita, which is a curated collection of supplements.

This is a quick reminder not to be too hard on yourself when starting on a new journey!

Case in point  - I've been having a combo of tech issues with my microphone and editing software.  

I'm a one WOMAN show over here :-)  -- I host, record, edit, and publish it all. So, when I say it's ok to be a "C" student when starting, I'm following my own words of advice,

The good news is that I have resolved the issue for future recordings!

Thanks for being a listener!

Hey, everyone!

Summer is upon us, which means SUMMER reading! What books are you reading this summer? I always need summer book recommendations and welcome your recommendations in my DM.

One book that I return to over and over again is The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C. Maxwell.  It's not your typical summer book, and it's not brain-numbing by any means. It could be a nice rotation from a summer romance novel or suspense thriller.
     
My favorite invaluable law mentioned in the book is #12 The Law of Curiosity.
The Law of Curiosity provides growth in your life, according to Mr. Maxwell, by asking "Why?" 

If you look back on your life, there probably was a time when you were much younger and asked "why" consistently.  Because as children, we have an innate sense of curiosity and need for exploration.   As we grow older we lose that sense and take on the mundane repetition of life, not to disturb what we know since we think we already know everything! LOL   

I encourage you to listen to the pod today and pick up The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C Maxwell.  It is a must-read every year and I always learn something new!   

Thanks for listening!

This was a fun and inspirational episode!  My guest on today's episode has a POSITIVE mindset and it's contagious! 

My podcast is for women 40+ who are seeking to make career changes and not sure where to start! It’s about women making bold moves and regaining the passion they once had many years ago. 

Kimberly, the founder and CEO of Rock n Flow YOGA, is a certified Vinyasa and Yoga Sculpt instructor with a unique flair for blending invigorating yoga sequences with diverse music genres. Her dynamic approach to wellness extends beyond traditional yoga classes, offering transformative experiences at private and public functions. Her innovative educational workshops, "EMPOWER Your Practice" and "Balancing Your Energy," have been instrumental in reshaping how yoga enthusiasts utilize yoga blocks and straps and understand the chakras' influence on overall health.

Fun fact! In 2019, Kimberly became the first yogi in the Washington Metropolitan Area to lead yoga classes at the Lincoln Memorial, a testament to her passion and commitment to making yoga accessible and memorable.

A few takeaways from the episode!

Side hustle tips when marketing your product:

• Offer your services pro bona or for trade
• Be a contractor and sub to get your name out in the field
• Apply for internships or shadow your mentors

Don't miss our discussion on how to market yourself in any field! She also shared a valuable tip on naming your business!

I think we've all been in a job/career situation that stops bringing us joy and one that you dread!

There's not always an easy solution since the solution takes work, and when you work at a job that sucks the energy out of you, it can be difficult to have the motivation to start something new!

What if I told you there is a solution that can bring you joy. A solution that will require effort on your end, but a solution where you can find relief and an opportunity to breathe and be at peace, overall accomplishment of working towards a result.

I am launching several episodes over the next month that highlight people who have made career transitions by starting side hustles - side passion projects! Side hustles for these guests have created supplemental income and/or turned into full-time careers.   

All guests to date believe that if the idea to create something new keeps reappearing, and you keep daydreaming of starting something new, start beta-testing the idea now!

Stay tuned as I release free content on this channel and social media to help you begin the process of finding your passion project!
