If you've ever felt guilty for doing what feels good or felt like something should be harder or more difficult than it is, this episode is for you.

Carolin Hauser-Carson, founder of Women in the Flow, has coined Pleasure IQ, which teaches you how to "decipher" the clues your paradise is sending you so that you can be empowered to navigate toward a future of having it all.

She is a Naturopathic Doctor, Humanistic Psychotherapist, and Family Constellations Facilitator and the author of the book Blossom – Your Sevens Step Journey to Healing Childhood Sexual Abuse and Creating Your Dream Life! An internationally-recognized speaker and teacher on the subjects of spirituality, emotional healing, and women's empowerment for almost a decade.

Today, she combines her knowledge about emotional healing, spiritual truth, and authentic business-building to help women connect to their life's mission that spurs truly fulfilling careers, amazing contributions, and abundance in the areas of health and relationships. Her work is based on the intersection of where the human body and experience meets past–and even ancestral–trauma, and shows how each individual's authentic and true self is the source of one's own good – a place of unlimited abundance, creativity, courage, and joyful existence.

During our conversation, Carolin and I will cover interacting with pleasure using all of your senses, what keeps us in a state of lack, and the small decisions she made that took her from sick on the couch to living in tropical paradise.

We'll also discuss:

• The 4 steps of Pleasure IQ
• Her book, Blossom - The 7-Step Journey to Healing Childhood Sexual Abuse and Creating Your Dream Life
• The 5-day clarity she experienced after a breakdown, and how she leads other women to that place
• What manifestations she saw during her experience that built trust around what she now calls pleasure IQ
• The importance of having a coach or mentor when you're making an energetic shift
• Balancing feminine and masculine energy
• Staying at a high vibration and how that looks different for everyone
• How guilt and shame differ from other emotions, and how they manifest
• Family constellation work (this is so interesting!)

Carolin also describes her morning routine, which includes setting an intention in her free Facebook group, Women in the Flow. You will also see that noted on the free hand out for today's episode, found at www.womenintheflow.com.
