The PurposeGirl Podcast: Empowering women to live their purpose with courage, joy, and fierce self-love.

There are many paths to wellness, and many kinds of wellness beyond simple physical health. In today's episode my special guest, Adri Kyser, and I discuss a holistic approach to wellness. Adri also discusses some of the traumas she survived as a child, how it helped shape her journey, and how she actively chose to change the narrative of her life story. She healed herself through holistic wellness and she uses these techniques to heal women around the world. In this episode, Adri talks about: Her healing process of Enlightened Alchemy The four components of her work: physical wellness, mental wellness, emotional wellness, and spiritual wellness The importance of gratitude and meditation To receive Adri's free workbook, "From Limited to Limitless," please go to her website, https://adrikyser.com/.

Are you frustrated with where you are at work? Maybe you feel like you aren't advancing as you should be, as you deserve to be, or you struggle to define your own style of leadership. Women leaders (and companies) typically focus on two areas when aiming to advance women in leadership: building business skills and combatting discrimination. However, this leaves out a crucial third and often overlooked area – internalized patriarchal programming. Our special guest today, LeeAnn Mallorie, will be addressing this, along with the importance for women to tap into their bodies and their intuition, what they can learn from them, and how it can help them advance at work. In this episode, LeeAnn Mallorie teaches us: to tap into our intuition again, which we might have stopped listening to at work to pay attention to the cues that our body is giving us a mindfulness exercise that we can use at work the importance of power poses what it means to lead like a woman For a free download, Embodied Practices for Women Leaders, go to http://bit.ly/2019LIMWLDownloads.

Shortly after receiving my Masters in Applied Positive Psychology I combined my years in corporate marketing with my new expertise in positive psychology and began supporting a wide range of companies. There was a growing awareness at the executive and managerial level of the need to support employees in a more holistic way than before, and I was brought in to teach resilience, tools for working with one's mindset, how to identify one's strengths and capitalize on them, and so much more. The results were staggering, both in employee satisfaction and retention and in the bottom line. In today's episode I share with you a number of key ideas and techniques, with clear takeaways, to help you and those around you truly thrive at work, including: How to be engaged and satisfied at work How to be leader in the midst of change, chaos, and negativity How to incorporate the six pathways to flourishing (PERMA-V) How to capitalize on your strengths and the strengths of your coworkers How to start team meetings with positivity If you'd like to discuss how I can help your employees and your organization thrive, I invite you to come to https://carinrockind.com/speaking/ and fill out the form at the bottom.

Recently I had the great fortune to attend Women Warriors: The Voices of Change, at Lincoln Center in New York, led by Amy Andersson, conductor with Orchestra Moderne NYC, and to say that it was earth-shattering would be an understatement. From their description: "Women Warriors: The Voices of Change is a ground-breaking concert creation that honors the strength and heroism of global activists fighting for social justice, human and civil rights, environmental causes, minority rights, gender equality and for the right of every girl to have access to education. A cultural tour de force whose time has come, this project highlights the achievements of past and current activists who have risked their lives in the name of women's rights."This is a celebration of women activists over the centuries who have been fighting for social justice, and I was so moved that I knew I had to share this with my audience. In this episode I am truly honored to introduce you to Amy Andersson, the creative force behind Women Warriors, as she talks about how she came up with the idea for this event, why it's so important, and where she hopes to take it in the future.

Teenage girls face so many pressures from family, dating and social lives, school, trying to prepare for the future (maybe trying to get into a good college or get a good job), and more. As a teenage girl I definitely struggled with anxiety and panic attacks, and this is growing more and more common, and at earlier ages as well. In today's episode I talk about some of the pressures that teenage girls face and what we, as concerned and supportive adults, can do to help them not only survive but thrive.

Around two years ago I had one of the happiest and one of the most unhappy times in my life. After several years of a challenging fertility journey we finally learned we were pregnant, and several weeks later we learned that we had our second miscarriage. Even with my background in positive psychology, even as I coached women to go after their dreams and live a life filled with purpose and happiness, I was struggling mightily. Fortunately, I have a number of tools at my disposal that helped me get through this terrible time, and in today's episode I share some of these tools with you. One of these tools is building and nurturing sisterhood, and the value of women coming together, and so I'm thrilled to announce the second annual Women's Global Happiness Day! WGHD is an effort to combat the women's depression epidemic and empower women worldwide by learning the science of well-being. I share with you lots of information about this life-changing event, and you can learn more about, as well as how to participate (everything is free!), at [www.womensglobalhappinessday.com]!

So many women are cut off from their own desires, from what brings them pleasure, but being in touch with, and in control of, our sexual selves is critical to our overall wellbeing. My special guest today, Lauren Harkness, teaches us about getting in touch with our sexual and sensual selves and why this is so important for our own happiness and the success of our relationships. She takes us through a breathing exercise, teaches us about the jade egg practice, discusses kundalini yoga, orgasmic meditation, tantra, and so much more. According to Lauren, when you're truly in touch with your own desires and what brings you pleasure, the story of your relationship becomes a "choose your own adventure" novel instead of reading the same chapter every night! You can learn more about and follow Lauren on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/laurenharknessofficial/) and Instagram (@sensualalchemistress), and at her website (https://www.radiantecstasy.com/). Also, be sure to check out her upcoming classes (https://www.tantrany.com/#events). Lauren recommends the following books: The Illustrated Guide to Extended Massive Orgasm, by Steve and Vera Bodansky (https://amzn.to/2nwgDJ2), The Science of Orgasm (for those more into the science side of things) by Barry Komisaruk (https://amzn.to/2mUrCM9), and Creating Money: Attracting Abundance by Orin and DaBen (https://amzn.to/2nzSDF4).

When I recently turned 45 I started feeling anxious about my age, how much time I have left, what I've accomplished, and how much I still want to do in life. Some women go through a "quarter-life" or a "third-life" crisis -- these issues come up at a wide variety of ages -- and in today's episode I address some of these struggles and how we can meet them head on and turn a midlife crisis into a midlife catalyst, regardless of your age.
