Weaving Your Reality

Whether you are looking to step into your leadership or not, this episode is a must listen for anyone interested in conscious business and spirituality. It will give you a whole new perspective on leadership and success, and leave you inspired to follow your inner wisdom as a way to step into your Higher power. For me, this conversation was rich in "a-ha" moments and left me with a profound feeling of connection to divine guidance. I hope you find something valuable (and maybe life-changing!) in this episode for yourself. 

In this episode, we talk about:

• How inviting feminine energy into the corporate environment can help companies become more balanced and integrated
• Shakti Leadership as a new paradigm of leadership through the work of inner transformation and self-mastery
• An embodied solution for creating success and impact from a consciousness of life-giving creativity and sustainability
• The importance of bringing the body into the conversation about leadership
• The balance of feminine and masculine in business 
• What leadership has to do with spirituality, yoga and Star Wars
• The power of presence and how to become embodied
• Intuition VS strategy
• The role of social media and technology in creating success and elevating consciousness
• A practice you can do anytime to feel present and embodied

Resources mentioned in this episode:

• Shakti Leadership website
• Shakti Leadership book
• Oct 2018-Jun 2019 Shakti Fellowship Program (Scholarship available)
• 12-minute Presence Practice (works right away, I tried it!)

Meditation and Chanel. Ruby Warrington is a pioneer in bringing together these two worlds that have been separate for centuries. "Material Girl, Mystical World", is her tagline and the name of her first book with Harper Collins.

• How Ruby monetizes her online magazine
• A major lesson she learned from launching products that didn't sell
• How to do business "The Numinous" way
• How being "sober curious" helped her to be more emotionally connected
• How to overcome anxiety over public speaking
• How to choose which projects to pursue and put your energy into
• The importance of bringing together different parts of your business under one umbrella brand
• What role vulnerability plays in creating a successful brand
• Is goal setting actually important for success?

• How you're feeling about yourself offline always gets reflected on social media

Jules Hunt of @omandthecity is a rare gem. Having had to deal with being unhappy in a fashion job and wanting to delete her blog because she felt like she wasn't making an impact, she's become an expert on getting "unstuck". That led her to create Om And The City, one of the fastest growing mindful lifestyle platforms, and landing partnerships with Allbirds, Athleta and Whole Foods.

In this episode, we discuss:

THE BUSINESS OF SOCIAL MEDIA

• What does a wellness blogger actually do
• How to run a profitable wellness blog in the oversaturated world of Instagram (it's not too late to enter the game)
• Getting compensated for your time, energy and art as a blogger
• Creating sponsored content in a genuine way
• Using social media to manifest a lifestyle that you want

EXPANSION

• Getting unstuck and finding your "om"

CONFIDENCE

• Not letting opinions stop you

FUN FACT

• You'll never believe what Jules' first YouTube channel was dedicated to!

STRATEGY

• The importance of having a plan when you quit something
• From working in fashion to finding the courage to do what she loves through staying true to herself
• How to give your community what they want while fulfilling your needs
• How to set healthy boundaries between growing your personal brand and having personal life
• Strategy VS intuition

PRODUCTIVITY

• The power of monotasking

SOCIAL MEDIA

• A 4-year relationship that started in 8th grade thanks to AIM messenger
• The most important lesson social media has taught Jules

SELF-CARE

• The power of morning and evening routines

QUOTABLES:

"Once you find your core and your center by asking yourself the tough questions, the rest unfolds around you."

"More things don't necessarily make you happier."

"Sometimes you need that kick out the door to keep moving and set on the path that you're meant to be on."
