You-est You®: Where Intuition, Spirituality & Higher Consciousness Meet Real Life

Meet Danielle LaPorte

Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah's SuperSoul 100, a group who, in Oprah Winfrey's words, "is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters." The former director of a future studies think tank in Washington, DC, where she managed a team creating global scenarios, she now speaks about the intelligence of the heart.

Her most recent book, How To Be Loving: When Your Heart Is Breaking Open and Our World Is Waking Up, is also an Audiobook + eBook with a companion deck and journal––to be released in October 2022. Danielle is also the author of The Fire Starter Sessions, The Desire Map, and White Hot Truth, and producer of dozens of meditation kits and online programs for spiritual support.

Danielle is the creator of the Heart Centered Membership and the Heart Centered Leaders Program, with 400+ leaders in 30 countries hosting conversation circles, retreats, and workshops in all kinds of communities and businesses. Her podcast, With Love, Danielle, often ranks in iTunes' top 10 for wellness. Most of her offerings—from the Heart Centered Membership to her online classes—are on a pay-what-you-choose basis. Named one of the Top 100 Websites for Women by Forbes, millions of people a month visit DanielleLaPorte.com. Marianne Williamson refers to Danielle "as a bright light." V (formerly known as Eve Ensler) calls her "a force field of energy, wonder, humor, and love." Her charities of choice are Ally Global Foundation, helping survivors of human trafficking to rebuild their lives (@allyglobal), Trees Sisters'Sisters' reforestation projects (@treesisters_official), and VDay, a movement to end violence against women and girls (vdayorg). Danielle LaPorte lives in Vancouver, BC. You can find her on most places on social media @daniellelaporte.

This book is so incredibly wise, and you'll want to listen more than once. We discussed Danielle's newest book, How To Be Loving, published by Sounds True, in great depth especially focusing on the tricky parts we often don't accept, allow or embrace. Put on your seatbelt and get ready for a powerful journey within…

Loving The Ego

The old way of viewing the ego is to see it as something to banish, get rid of, override or overcome. I loved Danielle LaPorte's approach and her focus on loving it all, including your ego. Yes, your ego needs and deserves love too. As she said, "I created it. And as the mother of it all, I am responsible for loving and caring for every aspect of myself." Danielle does this by telling her ego that she's not leaving or abandoning this part of herself, and as she said, ''I got you.'' This means having a conversation with ourselves that is loving, compassionate, and unconditional. This means loving your insecurities and anything you wish you could change. Learn to love it as it is. Accept it as it is. Thank this part of you, as it brings the opportunity to love yourself even more. Woah, that's a big reframe if I've ever seen one. Try it, and let me know what you think and feel. What is it like to truly call in love for every single aspect of yourself?

Self-Improvement Gone Bad

The issue for many of us steeped in the self-improvement world is the incessant desire to constantly evolve, awaken and become enlightened. There's nothing wrong with wanting to grow, but this non-stop desire can actually be the ego, or the spiritual ego, incognito. Underneath the striving is this belief that you need to do these things to be worthy in God's eyes. Danielle LaPorte explains a better and more loving way to see this. You were born whole. This is liberating because it means you don't have to push, strive and work hard for worthiness. You are already worthy because you were born. In reality, what we're also talking about is the energy from which you're coming. It's more energizing to come from a celebratory focus versus striving. But in the end, self-compassion is the whole point. Be compassionate to everyone, including yourself. You can do this by identifying with your light and heart. Over and over again.

Power Redefined

I love how Danielle La Porte talks about and explains receptivity. In essence, the way that we receive the cues from the Universal mind is through receptivity. The way to being receptive is through stillness and calming down your nervous system, mind, and overall being. Silence and stillness become your best allies as they help you to slow down and tap into the universal intelligence waiting for you to pay attention. As you connect to your divine downloads, you tap into a power that is beyond your mind, ego, and limited understanding. This is power redefined and it starts with being receptive. As Danielle said, "the light WANTS to come in." We then need to learn to pause, be our own guru, and allow for the light to come in.

The Secret To It All

The most important ingredient not to be overlooked is the power of forgiveness. Here are a few powerful questions to ponder as they relate to forgiveness:

1. Who can you forgive today?
2. What would it look like to forgive them?
3. How would it feel in your body, mind, and soul to fully forgive them?

Grab your journal and pen and start tuning in and writing. There's euphoria waiting for you from forgiveness.

Final Thoughts

Danielle LaPorte explains how to be loving is more than just a concept, it begins by confronting the tricky parts like loving the ego. If you want to learn more you can pick up a copy of How to Be Loving today.

I see you and our growing 'You-est You' community as a movement and way to encourage one another to feel safe enough to express yourself fully. I believe when enough of us can create an environment where others can be their truest selves --- feeling seen, heard, and known at the deepest level, we will have a much safer and more empowering world. It starts, of course, with doing the inner work within to see where we can be more loving and kind to ourselves. In this solo episode, I shared my struggles with the feeling 'I'm Not Enough' syndrome and how comparing myself to others has never worked well. Letting your inner critic drag you down. I'm hoping this talk will inspire you to look within your 'You-est You' so that you can start changing the way you see and feel about your miraculous self. Please let me know what resonates and as always, take what you love and release the rest.

Feeling 'I'm Not Enough' Syndrome

I can't be the only one here who has experienced the awful feeling 'not enough' syndrome. It happens anytime you somehow measure yourself to someone else or an unrealistic ideal. Allowing your inner critic to corrupt your thoughts and make you feel lesser than others. The problem is that if you're living your life from the lens of "I'm not enough", "It's not enough", or any aspect of not being, having, or doing enough, you will always come up short. Over time you'll create patterns and habits of thought that have you believe that nothing you do is enough and that something is off and wrong with you. As Ben Hardy shared in a recent interview about his book, The Gap and The Gain, co-authored with Dan Sullivan, staying in the gap means consistently looking for where you fall short and how you compare to others. With this outlook, you'll never win. Yet so many of us do this (myself included). Rather, if you're focused on the gain, you'll be looking at how you're doing compared to where you were before or how you've grown and transformed for the better. Basically, we're talking about going from a lack mindset to a growth mindset. You have to rewire your brain for success. I hope that you'll better understand that your beliefs about 'not being enough' are untrue and what is needed is a re-routing of your thought patterns. My intention is to give you tools, strategies, and ways to start a whole new way of seeing yourself and your life from an empowering lens.

How To Overcome 'Not Enough' Mean Inner Critic

Before I share these powerful tips to stop the mean inner critic, you have to become aware of it. I want you to get a notepad or place to jot down your thoughts and to track your 'not enough' self-talk for a full day. If you can do this for a week, even better, but best to start with a day and see what you find. It's important for you to get how prominent this voice is and what it's actually saying. For example, mine might say something like "that's great you had 20 people at your workshop, but if you were really making an impact, you would have had 100." Oh yeah, she's mean and incessant and constantly comes up with ways to make me feel like I'm not good enough. This voice might also tell me that I should have more social media followers, more toned arms, or compare me to others in my industry, even though we are all unique snowflakes. How about you? What does your 'not enough' voice sound like? I promise not to leave you hanging. Below are my 3 ways to turn this feeling 'not enough' boat around, with a bonus 4th tip because, sigh, 3 were 'not enough'. Pro-tip, you've got to be able to laugh at and with yourself.

1. To Compare Is To Despair

I remember hearing this in a 12-step meeting almost 20 years ago. I thought to myself, that's nice, 'to compare is to despair,' yet I didn't fully get it until I really marinated with what this means. I can remember doing this at a young age when I'd be in my leotard for ballet or my swimsuit for the swim team. I let my inner critic drown everything else out. I compared myself to all the other girls in class or on my team and always came up short. I felt less graceful, less athletic, less coordinated, less in shape...I just felt less, less, less. This is not a winning equation. Just like competitive swimming, or driving, you've got to stay in your lane. The minute you swerve into someone else's lane, bad things happen. The moment you notice comparing yourself or feeling 'not enough', remind yourself to get back in your lane and focus on how far you've come in whatever subject you're feeling a sense of lack. Keep practicing this until it becomes your new habit and way of thinking. Note: most new habits take at least 90 - 120 days, so do not give up and remind yourself that everyone wins when we all stay in our lane.

2. It's Time To Redefine 'Enough'

Honestly, what does 'enough' even mean? Maybe we're both overachievers, and if so, my guess is that you could have two Master's degrees, 13 certifications, a well-paying job, or a successful business, and you might still feel like you're 'not enough' and that there's more you should or could be doing. The problem with this way of thinking is that you're working with a dangling carrot that continues to move in front of you. You're never going to hit the target and will continuously feel like you've come up short. You might notice this with your 'to do' lists, where it seems you never quite finish any of them and then judge yourself as not being 'enough'. I'd like to redefine enough for all of us. Let's stop making our definition about our accomplishments or achievements. Let's instead reframe 'enough' to be about kindness, love, forgiveness, empathy, and encouragement. Instead, ask yourself, 'Was I kind enough to myself today?' or 'Was I forgiving enough of myself in this situation with my brother?' Do you see and feel the difference? Now you're at least comparing yourself to qualities of the heart and values that inspire and move you.

3. Quiet Your Inner Critic

Now please don't make fun of me, but I grew up watching the SNL 'I'm good enough, I'm smart enough' skit with Stuart Smalley (aka Al Franken) and Michael Jordan. While it always made me laugh, in all truth, I was also raised by a mom who loved Louise Hay and had me literally look in the mirror to affirm my worthiness. It used to make me cringe, but now I see it as a gift. Here's the thing, you and I are constantly in the midst of our inner dialogue, much of which is pure crap. Developing new inner talk that's kind, compassionate, loving, affirming, and sweet is way better than the stuff most of us say to ourselves. It's time to change the inner dialogue from mean, crappy, chastising, and 'you're never enough' to something way more empowering like the following affirming statements:

* I am enough.

* It's enough

* I am always right where I need to be

* I am always in right divine timing (for my spiritual friends)

* I am where I'm meant to be and I can trust myself and the Universe

Feels much better, right? Try one of these statements for at least a full day to help rewire your brain and notice how you feel. And of course, share your insights with me in the You-est You Facebook community, on YouTube where I posted this episode, or send me an email. I want to know how this is helping you to reclaim your badassery so you can ditch the feeling 'not enough' shitty voice once and for all. Like Louise Hay often said, "Stop being mean to yourself".

4. Bonus Practice for the Over Achievers

I had to add a bonus practice because three clearly isn't enough. I'm laughing with myself here. In this final extra credit practice, define and look at what's enough in these four categories of your life: career, family, health, and relationships. Create realistic goals and intentions, so you know what is enough. An example might be to add more time for regular movement and exercise. Putting on my coaching hat, I'd have you get even clearer by deciding how often you'll be exercising (3 days a week, 5 days a week, every day, etc), for how long (30 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour), when you'll exercise (upon waking up, during lunchtime, after dinner) and what kinds of exercise you'll be doing (biking, swimming, dancing, walking, yoga, etc). Gaining clarity will help you realize what enough looks and feels like. This can help when your mind tells you that you didn't move enough or do enough. You can call BS on this voice, knowing it is enough. Try creating clarifying goals within all four areas of life and notice how much better you feel. Remember, you get to design your life and the lane you're in.

Do This To Rewire Your Brain for 'Enough'

I'd love to know which of these tips and strategies help you the most. While rewiring your brain (thank you, neuroplasticity) doesn't happen overnight, it can change, and you can transform the way you talk to yourself and how you feel about yourself. I'm also going to remind you that you have a unique array of gifts, skills, abilities, and talents that no one else in the world has. You are good enough. You are smart enough. And heck yes, it's time you know this and encourage others to do the same.

Meet Acharya Shunya

Acharya Shunya is a truth-teller who facilitates authenticity, self-remembrance, and divine feminine pathways to awakening within. The first female head of her 2,000-year-old Indian spiritual lineage, Shunya reinterprets and re-contextualizes ancient teachings for modern times, empowering people everywhere to lead fearless, fulfilled, and enlightened lives. She is president of the Awakened Self Foundation and founder of Vedika Global, Inc. in California. She is the author of the bestselling books Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom and Sovereign Self and her newest book, Roar Like a Goddess. She lives in Northern California.

Let me tell you, my friend, that this conversation brought me to tears. Acharya Shunya is a powerful example of a pure embodiment of the divine feminine and goddess energy and is full of cosmic wisdom and universal truths. I'm so excited to share much of our conversation here. I hope you'll tune in -- you'll certainly be touched, moved, and inspired. Perhaps you'll be moved to tears too, like yours truly. Enjoy!

Celebrating the Divine Feminine

Acharya Shunya was taught early on by her grandfather, a master teacher, that she would head the lineage even though she is a female. She was told this at nine years old and learned at a young age that this would be her path and dharma, regardless of her gender. She would be the first head of her lineage in over 2,000 years and begin to change the ancient custom and weave in the power of bringing in the divine feminine and teachings of the Goddess.

Unconditional Self-Respect

Acharya Shunya teaches in her book, Roar Like A Goddess, that part of our learning is to see ourselves like the divine, which means creating non-negotiable respect and safety for ourselves. It's important to remember that even in the darkest moments, we are connected to the divine light. Our goal is not just to speak and proclaim our self-respect but to know it and embody this unconditional self-love and respect.

The Power of Shakti

There is only one Goddess force in the Vedic tradition, which is called Shakti. Shakti in Sanskrit means power. This all-encompassing feminine power invites, rather than destroys, builds rather than tears down. The three aspects of Shakti are exemplified through the three Goddesses: Durga, Saraswati, and Lakshmi. Acharya Shunya teaches how to connect to the powerful energy, lessons, and wisdom of each Goddess. Here's a quick overview to give you a taste of their universal teachings for a beautiful life:

1) Durga - Durga gives you permission to own your power and shed fear. She is all about getting in touch with your power within and expressing what Shunya calls 'righteous rage'. This is a highly conscious rage that can stem from years and lifetimes of being marginalized and overlooked. Durga is about cutting through fear.

2) Saraswati - Saraswati is all about knowingness and discernment. This energy asks you to discern what is a minor matter and/or what is a world manner. She helps you to convert trauma into growth for greater transformation and healthy, full expression of your potentiality.

3) Lakshmi - Lakshmi is all about the heart, love, playfulness, rest, and prosperity. She is anchored in conscious behavior, not just a scripted way of being. Her energy reminds us to play, connect to our sexuality and sensuality, find balance and enjoy the fullness of life.

Roar Like a Goddess

It's time to connect to the Goddess energy, frequency, and wisdom. First, you must roar with courage. Next, you must roar with fullness, balance, and abundance. We all need to roar with healing, higher consciousness, and compassion. May you be inspired by Acharya Shunya's example of what's possible for women and all of humanity, and may you roar like a Goddess!

Final Thoughts

Acharya Shunya shines her light for all of us to see the goddess within us. It is the goddess energy where we find the courage to create non-negotiable respect and safety for ourselves. Be sure to check out her latest book Roar Like a Goddess.

Meet Eme Ray

Eme Ray is the CEO & founder of two multi-7-figure businesses, has been in the online space for over 20 years, is a certified Life Designer® Coach, certified trainer of NLP, and certified facilitator with XChange. Eme joined me on today's episode to unpack the three common misconceptions and secrets to building your thriving and prosperous coaching practice. We have also teamed up to launch Monetize Your Purpose in early 2023. It's a powerful group program within my Life Designer® Coach Academy. It helps coaches learn step by step how to birth their coaching business with confidence, clarity, and the know-how for a business that does not follow traditional sales and marketing rules. To get on the waitlist, go to juliereisler.com/myp.

If you are in the coaching, healing, or service space, you might not realize that the tried and true ways to grow a coaching business are not the same as product-based companies. Eme and I chatted all about this to give you the tips, strategies, and secrets we've both learned along the way to help you in your own marketing and growth efforts. We both feel strongly that it's imperative for you to have the tools and confidence needed to thrive and be an even greater light in the world because the world sure does need you. If you've struggled with getting out there and becoming more visible and influential in your space, this episode is for you. We have you covered, my friend, and we hope you'll find these suggestions helpful and easy to implement. If you still want greater support after listening, please let me know, and we'll follow up with you about the next launch of Monetize Your Purpose within the Life Designer® Coach Academy. As always, take what you like and leave the rest.

3 Secrets to Building a Coaching Business Secret #1

You're not in a typical business. Focus on building authentic relationships more than you would in any kind of product-based business. We discussed what this means when you have a coaching business and how to create organic and genuine connections with others you can collaborate, partner with, and sometimes work with. If you follow the typical marketing roadmap, you will end up overwhelmed and exhausted.

Secret #2

Speaking of overwhelm, if you find yourself in overwhelm often, you are in the danger zone of losing steam and momentum. You've got to learn how to bring in more ease, calm, and focus so that you don't burn yourself out. Eme and I shared ways to do this that we've both used within our coaching business.

Secret #3

Mindset is everything. With a growth mindset and powerful intention, you can build your momentum back and allow the Universe to step in and guide you and your actions. This is a key that took a while for me to understand. If you're used to being the high achiever worker bee who does everything, you'll need to learn how to work smarter, not harder. And how to align your mindset with your higher potential and that of your higher self, i.e., your You-est You. This one takes practice, and we shared some practical ways to do this.

Final Thoughts

If you are ready to grow your coaching practice, visibility, and impact in the world, and conquer these three secrets, make sure to get on the waitlist for my upcoming live group program, Monetize Your Purpose, opening back up in 2023. Eme Ray, an online business genius with two 7 figure businesses and incredible coaching and mindset credentials, will be partnering with me to lead this course. We know that it will make a difference in your life and for those you're here to work with. Get on the waitlist here juliereisler.com/myp.

The 4 Common Roadblocks For New Coaches

In this solo episode, I talked about the 4 most common roadblocks I've seen get in the way of new coaches getting traction and momentum when starting a coaching business. Whether you're a coach, a creative, or an entrepreneur, you'll probably identify with these roadblocks in your own career as well. After a decade of coaching leaders and entrepreneurs and teaching the art and skill of coaching to hundreds of students, and in my own coaching journey, I know what can get in the way of making a greater impact and growing your business. In this week's episode, I'm pulling the curtain back on the four things to watch out for so that they don't stop you from being your You-est You when starting a coaching business or entrepreneurial endeavor.

You Don't Have To Have It All Together

Ok, my friend, let's just get something straight. We are never going to have it all figured out. Life will never be perfect, and no matter how much personal growth work you do, you will not always have it all together. And that's ok. Don't let this be a reason that stops you from feeling like you can start a coaching business and be a mentor to others. One of the secrets is that as a coach, it's never about you anyhow. In fact, what you are is an expert at learning how to listen at a deep level to help your client accomplish and align with their greatest desires and goals. In essence, you are helping them to be their best self or "You-est You." Don't let the trap of thinking you have to be perfect or have your life working perfectly get in the way of your coaching and making a greater impact. I shared a few tips on how to put this fear to bed.

Don't Downplay Your Worth

It's easy, especially for newer coaches, to get cold feet when discussing pricing and money. This is one of the reasons I believe it's crucial for coaches to invest their personal resources, time, and money in being coached. You have to know at a deep, cellular level the power of coaching. I worked with a coach years ago who literally changed my life with one powerful question. That question, and life pivot, was the impetus for my return to school to get a master's degree in coaching and integrative wellbeing. While I strongly believe in being certified and trained in this work since it is not as easy as it seems and is not about giving advice, being an expert or a cheerleader, you need to value yourself and the training you did receive. By undercharging, you end up undervaluing your services and the value of this work. I share a few ways to shift your belief and own your worth when starting a coaching business so you overcome that roadblock and can make a greater impact.

Overcoming The Fear of Visibility

A big roadblock I often see is the discomfort with being seen and putting yourself out there, be it through sending emails, sharing on social media, or any kind of marketing. The secret is becoming so in love with your 'why' that it supersedes any other fear of visibility. One of the ways to do this is to ask yourself this three-part question: Why is being a coach important to you, those you're here to support and serve, and the world? Get clear on your why, put it on your favorite post-it wall or in your phone reminders, and marry your why. Putting yourself out there, and making yourself visible leads to making a greater impact. The two go hand in hand.

Rebuilding Your Confidence

The best and most important way to build and expand your confidence as a coach is...wait for it...coaching! You need to continue practicing your craft and coaching as much as possible to utilize your coaching skills & training and boost your experience. When starting a coaching business, you must realize it takes time to build mastery. Don't let being a new coach, or being out of practice, get in the way of your taking action to find new clients to coach. Even if it means starting pro-bono or at a lower rate as you rebuild your confidence muscle, the important thing is to get out there and share with your peers, friends, and community that you are eager to coach and support clients to design and live their best life. The more you coach, the more confidence you'll have in knowing that this is miracle work and that it is just one less roadblock you have to overcome. Don't ever forget that as a coach, you are in the miracle business, and I can't imagine a better time for more miracles.

Final Thought

Starting a coaching business can seem overwhelming. You might feel there are too many roadblocks keeping you from being the great success you dream of. But following these four pieces of advice will help you gain confidence in moving forward so you can get visible and make a greater impact.

We dug into what it takes to find your partner and real love. Tune in to hear more tips, practices, and ways to align your energy to attract your match.

The Power of Setting Boundaries

If you feel icky about setting boundaries or have any negative connotation with them, listen up my friend. We discussed the importance of shifting your mindset around setting boundaries from negative to neutral to positive. Learning to have good boundaries is both an act of self-love and helps your partner know your parameters. And as Sami Wunder shared, setting boundaries can be super sexy! Who knew?!

A New Way to See Intimacy

Think of this as Into-Me-I-See (Get it? Intimacy is into-me-I-see). In other words, you're allowing your partner to view all aspects of you. Sami Wunder shares that this is why learning to be vulnerable, open, and love all of yourself, without judgment, is crucial to fully embracing yourself and allowing your partner to see all of you. It can be tough to get close to another person and expose your vulnerabilities. Start by accepting these parts of yourself that you might have neglected, overlooked, or denied. Learn to celebrate and adore yourself first, as this will permit your partner to do the same.

The Power of Feminine Energy and Receiving

So many of us high-achieving women are used to being go-getters, taking action, being driven, and all about the goal, which is tapping into empowered masculine energy. All human beings have both masculine and feminine energy to draw upon, regardless of sex or gender. Sami Wunder shared about being raised by a mother who told her to always be strong, driven, goal-driven, and make her own money at all costs. While her mom was trying to be helpful, it caused a lot of stress and health issues for Sami. We discussed the importance of the signature feminine energy of 'being' versus 'doing'. This might feel odd and weird at first, but learning to be -- be present in the moment and receiving can be important in your relationship and for your health.

Final Thoughts

Sami Wunder shares about the importance of setting boundaries and how setting boundaries promotes a feeling of self-love and expands a sense of healthy relationship parameters. She also imparts her wisdom both from being a high-achieving woman and working with them that you can't be afraid to step into your feminine energy. That you can still be wildly successful in balancing both masculine and feminine energy.

Sami Wunder has prepared a special masterclass called 'Lean In At Work, Lean Back In Love' in which she shares 3 mindset shifts that high-achieving women can make to be successful not only in their careers but also in dating and relationships. She is sharing this with anyone who would like Feminine Energy life training. Go to: samiwundercoaching.lpages.co/lean-back-podcasts/

Meet Emily McAllister

Emily McAllister, my dear sister from the same mister, is an incredible photographer, writer, and truth-teller. Emily is a creative, entrepreneur, mama in recovery to two adorable girls, and soon-to-be author. Emily is a Boston-native living in Southern California, where she owns her photography business, Emily McAllister Photography. Emily also works as a freelance writer and an occasional public speaker. Emily's writing has been featured on Scary Mommy, The Dad, What's Up Moms, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Love What Matters, and more. Emily has been a guest on several podcasts where she shares everything from her recovery story, her experience with maternal mental health, as well as her entrepreneurial journey that led her to professional photography. She is currently working on her first non-fiction book but in the meantime, shares her sassy, sometimes racy, and often hilarious thoughts on Twitter @Emily_tweets.

Feeling Like a Misfit & Coloring Outside The Lines

Emily McAllister talked about her inherent wiring to follow her own rules and color outside the lines. I've seen these self-starting and non-rule following traits in entrepreneurs as major assets. While this didn't feel like a strength growing up, she later learned that her creativity, resilience, and authenticity led Emily to start her own successful business. She had to follow her messy, nonlinear journey and truly be her 'You-est You' to find her own genuine path. If you also tend to color outside the lines and go against the grain or zig where others zag, know that this is often your greatest gift. Follow it and embrace all of yourself.

Laughter As Medicine

Laughter helped Emily McAllister heal traumas from the past as they related to substance abuse and addiction. She learned that by sharing her deepest, darkest stories with others, a healing happened in that true connection. Today, in addition to being a photographer, Emily is a speaker and loves helping other women to share their stories. One of her biggest messages-don't take yourself or your challenges too seriously. Learn to laugh with and at yourself, and you'll start the inner healing process in a way you couldn't have imagined.

The Mom Life Crisis

This is really about feeling lost - both in losing herself to motherhood and her own identity - to finding a whole new sense of self. From breakdown to breakthrough, the mom life crisis has been humbling for Emily, and she shares how this period of being lost and overwhelmed can lead you back to a stronger form of yourself. The trick is to stay with the feelings, to feel your feelings fully, and allow what's next to arise naturally.

You're Only As Sick As Your Secrets

Emily McAllister's biggest lesson to share is so powerful. In essence, when we hide parts of ourselves or our truth, we are allowing shame to take over and disconnect us from real connection. Sharing the secrets, stories, and situations you've held in shame will change your life. This is much of what has helped Emily in her own recovery journey, along with taking ownership of her life and realizing that we have a part in all aspects of our life movie. A reminder, life isn't happening to you; it's happening for you. In sum, it's about owning your sh*t and eating donuts (if you so desire).

Final Thoughts

Emily McAllister is a perfect example of how to wrangle mom life with grace even on the days you want to crawl back in bed (because we ALL do and that's ok) and how coloring outside the lines is what makes you uniquely perfect. To use that gift to share your dark secret, to shine the light on them so that you, and others, realize they aren't so scary after all.

Meet Colin Beavan

Colin Beavan, Ph.D., is a sought-after coach, speaker, consultant, and Zen Teacher in the Kwan Um Zen tradition. He attracted international attention for his year-long lifestyle-redesign project and the wildly popular book, No Impact Man, and the Sundance-selected documentary film it inspired. Colin ran for the US House of Representatives in New York's 8th Congressional District in 2012, was the founder of the No Impact Project, a board member of Transportation Alternatives, an advisory council member of 350.org, and a guest professor at Sarah Lawrence College. He is the author, most recently, of How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World. He can be found at www.colinbeavan.com as well as on Instagram @ColinBeavan.

No Impact Man Experiment

Colin Beavan set out on a year-long experiment back in 2009 to live environmentally friendly in an extreme way in NYC. He wanted to explore how we can live where we help others and ourselves, understand our role in the environment and climate change, and the impact we make (the inspiration for his No Impact Project, by the way). This year-long project became the documentary, No Impact Man, where Colin focused each month on another issue in the environment and then removed it from his life. He addressed issues like trash, water use, degradation, transportation, and buying only local food. In pursuing these areas of concern, another big question came up - is there a way to build a community that naturally embeds this kind of consciousness into its fabric of society? The year proved to be a powerful experiment in allowing Colin to get healthier and step off the treadmill of constant 'doing' and being glued to screens, giving him more nourishing time to spend with his young daughter, family, and friends.

How To Be Alive and Kind

This No Impact Man opportunity opened up more questions that he addressed in his book, How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World, about choosing a way of being where we're both taken care of and taking care of others. This mutual care scenario would allow for a greater sense of security and meaning, two important aspects of having a good life. Colin Beavan unpacked the deeper question of finding meaning in one's life by answering the following questions, which I encourage you to address for yourself:

1) Understanding yourself: Who are you, and what feels important to you?

2) What is the world to you, and what do you care about?

3) How might you bring these two answers together?

It's Time To Create A World Based on Kindness

Much of Colin Beavan's studies and wisdom comes from the Zen tradition, a mystical practice that focuses much of your time and energy on staying deep, open-ended questions like 'Who are you?' and not knowing the answer. Colin shared about a master teacher he encountered early on who shared that the ideal is "to wash your mind with 'I don't know' soap." In other words, when you're not interfering with 'knowing' something, you can respond to how the world naturally responds. Under this practice is building your trust in the Universe.

Now What's Next?

We're in times where many are confused, scared, and anxious but want to bring in more kindness. Tune in to hear a beautiful practice to stay in the 'not knowing' and call in greater connection to kindness.

Final Thought

Colin Beavan's efforts to change the world one step at a time led to a movement we can all join in big or small ways. No Impact Man is well worth the watch to uncover the impact we have on the world with the choices we make, even unconsciously, every day. Be sure to pick up a copy of his latest book, How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World.

Meet Roger Love

Roger Love is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on voice. No other vocal coach in history has been more commercially successful in both the speaking and singing fields. Roger has produced over 150 million unit sales worldwide and has written three top-selling books. Roger coaches singers such as John Mayer and Selena Gomez, as well as speakers like Anthony Robbins and actors including Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana, Keira Knightly, and Bradley Cooper. Roger has generously offered a $50 gift certificate to learn how to harness your voice. It is waiting for you right now at http://rogerlove.com/julie

You're about to learn new ways to overcome self-doubt and build confidence and the most important things no one's ever told you about using your voice to become a more successful entrepreneur and change-maker.

How To Use Your Voice As An Instrument

Roger Love is the absolute best in the world at helping you to use the power of your voice to bring out the best of who you are. Science proves that what we say is first processed emotionally, then logically. The emotions are first passed through the prefrontal cortex. In other words, it's not just the words that affect how you feel when someone speaks to you. A myriad of variables, like pitch, volume, and melody, will have you decide if you trust or like the person speaking. Roger has created innovative and incredibly powerful techniques to develop your voice as an instrument that you can use in any way you choose. Listen in to learn some of these brilliant strategies like ascending and descending scales. Hint: you were probably taught early on the wrong way to use your voice, and this one tip could make a massive difference in the way others perceive you and your message. Tune in to learn how to use the power of your voice to make a larger impact.

Overcoming Fear of Public Speaking

Did you know that the fear of public speaking is one of the biggest fears? Ironically, speaking in public, be it on stage, within your company, making a pitch, or leading others is an essential skill. Roger Love shares how to use the voice's building blocks and the five-voice variables to be an effective communicator. But still, it's crucial to use them in the right way, and how you use you use the building blocks is dependent on the emotion you want to evoke. As you learn how to use your voice and build confidence, how to get over a fear of public speaking becomes a non-issue.

The Five Key Variables Of Your Voice

I bet you didn't know that there are 5 aspects to your voice. And with practice, you can learn to evoke and tap into the 23 main emotions, like gratitude, empathy, and even anger, at any time. Roger trains some leading actors and celebrities, as well as speakers and leaders, on eliciting any emotion they want to communicate. These 5 main variables or voice building blocks are:

1. Pitch
2. Volume
3. Melody
4. Tune

Understanding The Power of Your Voice

You may not realize it, but knowing how to breathe (Roger gave a really fun demo in the interview) can change the way you speak and sound. Most of us breathe through our mouths or speak without enough breath. Roger Love calls this phenomenon 'Vocal Fry', and it sounds like you're out of breath. If you're looking to speak more --- be it on stage, on a podcast, in front of colleagues, or at an event, tune in so you can use the power of your voice to do this properly. We had a blast practicing how to breathe through the nose and speak while the air is leaving your diaphragm.
