April 12, 2022 EP-80 How to Practice Spirituality & Relaxation in a Twisted World
Consider this a very non-bias and non-religious way to open your heart and mind to practicing a new art. Spirituality is a personal and open-minded non judgement based, no rules practice. It's believing in kindness, the light, the human spirit, nature, relaxation time in the morning, breath work, being a good person, even when others are not kind to you. Especially when others are not kind to you. How can we also promote more minority women and women in our fields and keep being more realistic about wellness? Create your own Maui Ranch. Free practices, not selling products or scamming others, not being a shitty person, not praying on vulnerable people. Spirituality is celebrating all race, religion, creed, being open to other's beliefs. non judgement - and open heartedness, and loving on those who practice good deeds. Esp when poor and scammy behavior is so praised in this twisted world, we can do our part to praise the light, the good and the kind. Those who look for nothing in return. Lest we forget - reward more minority women - pay them what they are worth -- hire more minorities, give more good people great opportunities! We must practice rewarding good behavior too & continue to do things that Grandma would be proud of, while using your brain. xx ck

February 21, 2022 EP- 74 Pivot Your Career + Get Paid to Do What You Love!
how to master the pivot in your career:

-what would make you feel 100% fulfilled in life? build that purpose driven

-be patient and see the light the color in this very black and white world

- let's set up with three goals- write them down and stick to them
- what are the things that you love doing that do not feel like work that you love doing? - focus on those, volunteer, intern and learn more skills in that field.

- live in more moral integrity: do not scam others to get ahead and do not lie or be dishonest to get ahead: do not speak poorly about others. be honest, be good, be kind. Trust it built over time - be patient

-look around at where you can volunteer? - build your resume while you are looking for a job. Pay your dues, get experience and work your own way up the ladder.
- revisit books you love by those you admire most, you will learn so much from their own path: Bourdain, Marianne Williamson, Michael Singer - map out goals and emulate from others who have been successful before you

- be patient: months, years, in some cases you may have to create your own career path

- Pitch your own proposals, create the work: for books, shows, media, audible etc. You will hear NO most of the time, keep going...

-find a woman you admire: write to her, tell her you are grateful and
ask her who is hiring!? Be kind, be sweet - honey attracts the bees

- be patient, build, and let go of expectation

- you can do this girl! xx ck

we are hiring: resume & cover letter: [email protected]
