Check out Frontier and Southwest for cheap plane tickets Caroline came from a family that defines success in traditional ways She went to boarding school, went to the best law school and got the best job from the best firm She was driven by an achievement-engine but somewhere along the line she had an inkling and a feeling of not knowing what she really wanted Why she often said to herself: "I don't know if this is what I want to doing," "I don't know if this is how I want to be using my gifts and talents," and "I don't even know what my gifts and talents are" Why she suffered from postpartum depression after her second child She came to a point where she had a resonating moment and a deeper knowing that something is not right Why selflessness as a mother isn't healthy "How would you feel if thirty years from now your children are showing up in the world the way you are?" Why selflessness is a level of selfishness Why you should surrender ideals and stop being "the perfect mother" How she learned that the world is not black and white How working as a criminal defense lawyer created an intellectual background How she expanded her horizons and find "it" Why the quote "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly" blew her mind How "doing it badly" touches passion points Why you shouldn't worry about external validation How to pick an outlet and find the passion spot How you have to start somewhere with something and do it for 90 days How to find balance between your career and the rest of your life Why not feeling inspirational is a gift When there's pressure, creativity will die Why it's okay to sometimes breath and pause for a while "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" The beauty of being willing to make mistakes "Failure is not what's going to stop you, it's what's going to take you there" Connect with Caroline: Website Facebook Twitter [Tweet "Think that that being selfless is your job?

6 Ways to Manifest What You Want
Episode 124: In this episode of the Mind Body Musings Podcast, I'm going to teach you 6 ways to manifest what it is that you want. Dreaming of a supportive relationship? Desire to move to New York City? Find yourself day dreaming about a promotion? Know you're capable of more but you're feeling "stuck" in your career, relationship and finances? Manifestation, or The Law of Attraction, is a practice in which you do your part to meet the universe halfway. A common misconception is that with manifestation you just sit around and do nothing but think about a brand new car. Meh, that's not really the case. You have to work both on your mindset and your actions. As you think, visualize and concentrate on what it is that you want, you will cultivate a positive energy that will, in return, attract what it is that you desire. Here is a list of 6 ways you can begin manifesting today! Show notes: Check out my group coaching program The Freedom Lounge HERE Sign up for my upcoming live intensive in Boulder, CO called More Than This HERE Why you should never focus on what you do not want but instead, focus on what it is that you do want Six ways to manifest what it is you want Write lists every day Uncover and target your limiting beliefs Subconscious programming- change your passwords Make mantras Visualization "Networking" and making BFFs with people online (and how to do this right) One of my favourite list assignments: writing down what I want to be, do and have "Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and wait without anxiety" - A Course in Miracles "Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled" Check out the Five Minute Journal HERE Check out manifestation genius Denise Duffield-Thomas and her book Get Rich, Lucky Bitch [Tweet "Have you heard about the power of manifestation and the Law of Attraction?
