Today on Transcendent Leadership, we unpack the depths of trauma to unveil the liberated self free of negative energy so that you can embody transcendent leadership.

You don’t know how traumatized you are until you release it. In this episode, I describe the freedom I felt when I faced and accepted my trauma. Feeling numb, overwhelmed, and unsafe does not need to be your normal state of consciousness. In this episode, I give you the framework to release your trauma and shift into a higher energetic path. 

The trauma you experience in life shapes the way you experience the world. It is possible to renew your energy and move into a life without the weight of the past holding you to an old standard of being.

Your trauma blocks your potential and prevents you from becoming a heart-centered leader. It can be painful to face the pain of the past, but once you accept the totality of your being, you can enter a new phase of life, untethered by trauma. 

This episode is not for everyone. It will push you to the edge and force you to evaluate your mind and spirit. I hope my story inspires and empowers you to reclaim your energy and embody the totality of your being. Join me on this journey into transcendent leadership.

“These experiences can be opportunities for greater awareness around our purpose, that these experiences often prepare us for what we’re here to do, and typically it is the people who go through the deepest amount of tragedy and trauma that are ultimately here for, one of the greatest purposes, to help other people through that.” [17:05] - Carissa Johnsen 

“If you are constantly working, if you are constantly busy, and you have a really hard time slowing down and being present with people and your life, and bringing breath into your body, there is likely something that you are, on a subconscious level avoiding that you do not want to feel.” [23:45] - Carissa Johnsen

Memorable Quotes

“Being attuned to presence is allowing yourself to be an open channel for goodness, for grace, for love, and seeing how you can be the steward of this medicine, of this truth, and being open to recognizing, not only, how you lead but also how you can rely on divine love.”  [9:34] -Carissa Johnsen

“Compassionate leadership is about being truthful because the most loving thing you can do is be honest and truthful.”  [22:04]-Carissa Johnsen

“When you go beyond your ego, you can really witness and experience your human consciousness and the soul that is behind it, and what that soul is here to do and that soul impact.”  [25:03] -Carissa Johnsen

“They hold the vision of where they’re going and they can see the path, but they’re courageous enough to take the next step, and that kind of individual is what the world needs, not people who have a ten-year road map on how to get there and are rigid around it, but those who are willing to walk in faith.”  [28:54] -Carissa Johnsen

Welcome back to Transcendent Leadership! 

Today I explore the ripple effect of transcendent leadership and challenge you to face your trauma, uncover the truth and take ownership of your responsibility to the collective consciousness.

What happens once we are self-actualized? The paradigm is shifting fast, and collectively we are taking a deeper look at who we are, why we are here, and what is the purpose behind it all.

In this episode, I share the essence of transcendent leadership and how you can walk in your purpose to organically transmit your energy to the collective. 

Every human is connected to a source and is on a journey to self-discovery, but as a leader, you have the duty to live in alignment with your purpose, truth, and frequency so you can be the catalyst for greater change in the world. Your actions impact humanity in ways beyond your comprehension.

As you rise, we all rise!

Join me as I explore the divine purpose of humanity, truth, and the essence of transcendent leadership.

“I’ve realized it’s not about me, and it’s not about Carissa’s purpose and all that. It’s about the collective, and how do I transmit the energy of my frequency, of my essence, and walk in my purpose in a way that raises the consciousness of humanity.” [2:30] - Carissa Johnsen 

“We are connected to the same source, the same consciousness, and as I rise, I raise the collective. As the collective rises, we all rise together, so it’s this inherent knowing that we are connected to the same level of consciousness.” [9:17] -Carissa Johnsen 

“I lean into the and accept the suffering because I trust what is the divine orchestration of life. I trust that everything is happening in my favor, and it is only when we resist that we are led to our coping mechanisms.”  [15:48] -Carissa Johnsen

We rebranded, took some time off, and now we are back better than ever! Welcome to Transcendent Leadership, a show where we bring together top leaders and experts to share their unfiltered truths about the journey to self-actualization and the path to heart-centered leadership.

Transcendent Leaders are willing to heal their trauma, go beyond limitation & show up from their hearts. They are ready to accept the responsibility of their purpose, because they have faith in a power bigger than themselves.

This is a space where leadership is balanced with both masculine and feminine energy. Are you ready to accept the challenge of your purpose, and to powerfully embody these energies within yourself? This is the paradigm of leadership we are ushering in together on this podcast! 

In today's episode, I reveal how this recent season of rest has opened me to an entirely new mindset, and how leaning into your own seasons of rest and even resistance can greatly impact your purpose in the long-run.

Memorable Quotes

“Wisdom comes from within. It comes from learned experiences. It comes from reflection. It comes from difficulty and what you learn about yourself. That is what enlightenment and self-actualization, and our human potential is all about. It’s about you continuing to meet you.” [13:00] -Carissa Johnsen

“In order to sustain success, in order to rewrite the paradigm and the narrative of what it means to be successful and to be a leader, we have to understand growth equations and how this actually works.” [17:20]-Carissa Johnsen

“Sometimes when you meet resistance it’s not actually meant to be pushed through. There might actually be a reason why it’s not time for you to launch that thing.”  [19:56] -Carissa Johnsen

Do you feel like you are always forcing your way through life? In today’s episode, I teach you how to tap into your relationship with God in order to live a spirit-led life. In quantum reality, time does not exist because it is really the amalgamation of your present, past, and future timelines experienced all at once. By following your intuition and tapping into the guidance that you are receiving, you will begin to understand that every obstacle is an opportunity to resolve your trauma. If you are not trusting God’s voice, which speaks to you through your intuition, you can get stuck in ceaseless lessons unlearned. Once you surrender to trusting this guidance, you can enter into a new season of expedited growth and expansion!

Key Takeaways:

[3:15] Designating a sacred space in your home for prayer

[7:00] In moments of transformation your guides may take a step back

[9:00] If you don’t want the truth don’t ask god

[13:00] In the quantum time does not exist

[14:00] Remember that God is not outside you he is within you

[18:00] It will feel graceful 80% of the time

[20:00] Accepting that you have created this experience

[21:20] Shifting into gratitude that you have the opportunity to resolve your trauma

[23:40] Cultivate your relationship with God

[28:45] Our intuition is often guidance from ancestors, angels and guides

[30:50] Trusting and acting on divine timing

[32:10] Nothing needs to be forced because you are already being guided

Memorable Quotes:

“If you are in a season of transformation or transition you might experience your gifts or your connection, it might lessen. It might not be as strong and that’s sometimes because our guides take a step back, sometimes we might be in a low vibration of grief or anger.”  [7:10]

“In the quantum, there is no such thing as time. If you can access the frequency of what it’s like to be a millionaire or be in your purpose and you can stay in that frequency, which sometimes feels hard for people, you can literally attract it like that!” [13:45]

“This is my highest and best and if it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be happening. So there is this balance between knowing that you have, on some level, created this experience.” [20:30]

“There is a part of you that knows that you need to experience this again so you are given an invitation and opportunity to choose differently so that you can heal it…instead of getting mad about why you keep attracting the same situation, if you can shift into gratitude that you have yet another opportunity to heal and to completely resolve the trauma.” [21:25]

“If you think God is going to come into your life and save you from your own limiting beliefs and projections and healing and trauma. I'm gonna lovingly invite you to really think about the fact that you have to also show up for the relationship and it takes energy and it takes time and it takes effort.” [26:10]

Is your chaotic environment getting in the way of your guidance? There is a collective invitation to return to nature and reconnect with the land. If your environment is noisy, crowded and on a lower frequency, that chaos can disrupt your nervous system and cloud your ability to receive spiritual guidance. So, If you feel pulled towards mother earth, listen to the call. I encourage you to take this winter as a time of reflection, understand your desires and embrace them. You will be amazed at how effortlessly your life can change once you are clear on your desires. 

Key Takeaways:

[1:20] Life is easier when you listen to the call

[2:40] The collective invitation to return to nature

[3:30] Distractions can be a burden on your nervous system

Memorable Quotes:

“There is a theme, and a collective invitation that is happening right now, that is for all of us to get back to the basics, to get into nature, to remove our distractions, our technology, our chaos and all of the things that pull us out of our truest nature.” [2:40]

“Our ancestors, they were living on land. They were in communities. They were tuning into the cycles and the seasons of mother earth, of mother gaia and paying attention to the moon cycles and really seeing the interconnectedness of it all.”  [4:30]

“If you don’t have a day, a week, or time or seasons where you are going more easily, more gracefully or dare I say, more slowly, you really inhibit your ability to grow to a bigger capacity.” [9:15]

“If you knew the amount of energies that are here to support you and are guiding you and want what you want and want what’s best for you and will give it to you when you get into the frequency of desire, of receiving, you would be blown away!” [14:25]

Are you feeling depleted while striving for a higher level of performance? Today, I am sharing a tool that has helped me mitigate stress and focus my attention to the moment at hand. Peak performance is what we all strive for, but society tricks us into believing doing more accomplishes more. The truth is, rest is the key to growth and if you struggle to regulate your nervous system you won’t be able to achieve the focus necessary to perform well. Stress on the body and mind can literally render meditation useless. I will show you how using one tool can help regulate your nervous system and hone your attention so you are able to perform to your highest ability

Key Takeaways:

[1:00] Performance is not about doing more, it’s simply doing things well

[2:10] Doing less does not mean you are less effective

[3:05] Keeping your attention on one single action

[3:40] Focusing on too many things at once can hinder performance

[4:12] You won’t be able to focus if your nervous system is not regulated

[5:10] Your body and mind needs rest, water and sleep in order to grow

[6:00] New Calm: twice a day to increase your performance

[7:20] Neuroacoustic software prompts your sympathetic nervous system to relax

[8:00] Entering into the Theta state resets your nervous system

[9:00] This software is so powerful it has been used to safely replace anesthesia 

[9:30] 20 minutes with New Calm is equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep

[10:00] The bio-signaling disc enables the release of Gaba in your body

[10:40] Without releasing cortisol you can’t reap the full benefits of meditation

[11:20] Sometimes you need to utilize a tool if you are overstimulated

[12:00] New calm is literally the future!

[13:00] Allow yourself to access the greatest level of consciousness  available to you

If you are a high achiever you may not be accustomed to periods of uncertainty. Today, I am amidst my own hiatus and I want to speak to you about the profound change that happens once you let go of resistance and accept your situation. I have discovered that confusion is the result of denial of your true desires, this is why I believe acceptance is the key to moving through moments of uncertainty. If you are constantly pushing forward without pausing to recenter yourself, you are not leaving much space for guidance. In this episode I am sharing simple questions to ask yourself in moments of uncertainty, to help you determine if you are acting out of fear, resistance or both. Ambition does not leave much time for intermission in life but without stopping for guidance you may be making uninformed decisions based on outdated perceptions of your reality. By mastering patience you will raise your frequency and open yourself up to receiving your full desires.

Key Takeaways:

[1:30] Feeling creatively blocked

[3:00] What does patience actually mean?

[3:50] Once you accept your circumstances you have the power to change them

[5:40] Using prayer as a tool

[6:28] Shifting from resistance to acceptance 

[6:58] Pain is inevitable but your suffering is optional

[7:30] Resistance produces a very low frequency

[8:00] When you operate in resistant you cannot expand your consciousness

[8:37] Just because you don’t have clarity doesn’t mean it’s your fault

[9:40] When you are solution focused you may miss guidance coming to you in a unique form

[10:45] Sometimes you just cannot think yourself into clarity

[11:00] Confusion happens when we are unwilling to own our full desires

[12:08] Determining what is fear and when is a time to be patient 

[12:25] Great leaders know when to pause, be patient and listen

[13:05] Is there desire, resistance or both beneath your decision?

[15:20] Deciding when action is required

[16:00] Ask yourself if you believe patience is an active or passive process

[17:00] It may be time to take a break and release control

[17:50] When you are lacking information you cannot make an informed decision

[18:20] Lack of clarity is not always your fault

Memorable Quotes:

“As soon as I shifted from resistance to acceptance, my whole body softened. I was able to be much more present because I was living in the moment and the reality of what is. When we fight the flow of where god, the universe or our body is taking us, that is when we suffer.” [6:28]

“When we are in resistance, when we are in fear, when we are in shame, when we are in disappointment, we are vibrating at a very low frequency.” [7:30]

“Just because you don’t have clarity doesn’t mean it’s your fault.”[8:37]

“We might not have the whole picture yet and if we can accept that we don’t have all the information and that’s why we don’t have clarity and that it’s also not our fault, that is when we can transcend the emotion, the block and that is when we actually become inspired and we feel more motivated and the creativity happens!” [10:14]

Do you feel yourself getting further and further from the life you envisioned? Today, I will guide you on how to surrender control and shift into a higher level of consciousness, so that you can attract a life of abundance. I assure you that the ideal scenario you have grown attached to is not what you truly desire. You want what you want for a reason, to feel something, perhaps freedom, peace or happiness but all those feelings are available to you right now at this very moment. I encourage you to anchor in the feelings that your perfect life would evoke. You will become magnetic as you lose the fear that is blocking your abundance.

Key Takeaways:

[1:30] Following your intuition even when you don’t know why

[3:00] Finding everything aligned with my soul desires

[4:27] Your hair can retain wisdom and past traumas

[5:37] Feeling anchored in the decision 

[6:56] Making intuitive decisions that defy logic and reason

[7:24] At higher levels of consciousness your decisions are guided by feeling more than logic

[8:17] Getting comfortable not knowing

[9:57] When you set expectations you set yourself up for suffering

[11:25] Sometimes seemingly tragic circumstances are purposeful 

[13:10] Anchor in the feeling from your vision

[15:00] It’s not about hustle, this is a game of frequency

[16:00] Becoming an open and vibrating channel to receive higher guidance

[17:00] How much easier would  life be if you  trusted your intuition fully?

[18:47] Becoming a powerful creator by concentrating all of your energy on this moment

[19:05] Stop waiting for it to happen and accept that it is already happening

[19:30] Transmute your feelings of anxiety to excitement that what you desire is happening now

[20:20] The fear in your system is blocking you from ample magnificent abundance

[21:10] Acceptance is the key to abundance

Memorable Quotes:

“Your hair holds a lot of energy, it is directly connected to your nervous system, so whenever you’re triggered or there is trauma, a lot of emotional experiences, it gets held in your hair.” [4:27]

“As you ascend to 5D, from 3D to 4D to 5D. As you access greater levels of consciousness and growth, you will realize that you will be invited to and feel inspired to make decisions that don’t make sense.” [7:24]

“So much of our suffering comes down to the resistance that we feel based on the expectation that we set.” [9:57]

“Sometimes even in the most tragic experiences there is greater meaning and purpose that we don't have the full clarity on, we don’t have the full picture with.” [12:30]
