I love the show! Been listening for over a year and finally getting around to leaving a review. Just listened to a Questionably Awesome about leveling up where you talked about going home - specifically how you feel like you have to rush to get home and sit with family, and then they talk about their new shelf! I thought it was just me and it’s cool to hear that you all experience that. Also, why is that even a thing!? Anyway, love your podcast and random tangents. Makes me feel like I’m just listening to people I want to be friends with. Btw, can we be friends?! -Alicia   Question 1: @meg_cole_ How do you push through towards your goals when the resistance is SO STRONG?   Question 2: @acadiachampagne How do you stop self-sabotaging once you recognize you're the problem?

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Unlocking that part of you that's been hidden away Shining our light, even when it’s not well received Forgiving yourself and other people Not being a match for negativity and fear Staying in joy   Resources: Learn more: eventluv.com Learn more: The Bliss Project Read: A Tribe Called Bliss   Show Notes: Whether you are being bullied online, whether you have a friend who is questioning who you are as you grow, or whether you are completely doubting yourself and not feeling smart enough, these are all opportunities to shine. I recently had an experience that I might share more about later. In the past, I would have gone to a very dark place and it would have taken me down for a really long time. This time I was able to bounce right back knowing that it is not our place to feel bad. We are meant to stay in joy because that's where we get outside of our heads and our small worlds. We expand, we grow and we give our talents, our efforts and our money to people. I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Chris and Lori’s Become Aligned course Lindsey Schwartz and Lori’s 5-day immersive workshop on how to run profitable events, retreats or masterminds How Ashley turned the trauma of losing her kids into power The difference between pain and suffering Trusting the process of life Clarity mapping Ashley’s book, Born To Shine   Resources: becomealigned.com eventluv.com Born To Shine The Shine Project Instagram: @theshineproject Shop Ashley LeMieux Instagram: @shopashleylemieux       Show Notes: Six years ago Ashley LeMieux and her husband got a phone call asking them to become parents of a six-year-old and a four-year-old. They weren’t looking to adopt or foster at the time, but they said yes, and their life became all about their new family. During the final stages of the adoption process they experienced an unexpected contested adoption, which meant that they spent over a year and a half in court fighting to keep their family together. In the end the kids were taken from them with 12 hours notice and Ashley and her husband were not even allowed to tell the kids they weren’t coming home. Ashley says the past two years have been filled with her trying to figure out how to find a life again after it was all taken away. She felt buried by pain for so long she couldn’t work out how to move forward, but her journey through that has ignited everything she’s doing now. To begin she started a morning routine that added purpose back into her day. She wanted to write a book about her experiences and, after 30 different publishers said no, she figured out that no-one else’s opinion mattered and did it anyway. Her book, Born To Shine, shares stories, lessons, and practical tools to help women shine despite the darkness, to press forward one day at a time even when there is no end in sight, and to turn their most painful moments into their greatest teachers and signposts to true, deep, unassailable joy.   Question Highlights: How do you find closure when you couldn’t say goodbye to your kids? Was writing your book therapeutic? What should people do when they can’t see a way out of suffering? How can we believe in the significance of our story?  How do we bring divine ideas to life and have faith in them even when they've lost their excitement?   Guest Bio: Ashley LeMieux is an author, sought-after public speaker, and wildly successful lifestyle influencer. She's the founder of the online community, The Shine Project, where she creates resources and tools that have ignited a path of clarity and fulfillment for hundreds of thousands of women around the world. Through her fashion and lifestyle brand, Shop Ashley LeMieux, she empowers "Women Who Do" to show up confidently and courageously to their lives. She believes that you can turn your pain into your power.   Earn Your Happy is a production of Crate Media

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The superpower of sharing your truth Making yourself proud Being grateful for your present but believing in a better future   Resources: Learn more: eventluv.com Learn more: The Bliss Project Read: A Tribe Called Bliss   Show Notes: Today’s podcast is all about getting out of your own way because you have bigger fish to fry. You can’t play small anymore, you can’t live for other people and you can’t keep waiting for someone else to save you. That thing that you think just stopping you is your power. For me it was my anxiety, even though it was debilitating, and I told myself I couldn't do what I wanted because of it. Our superpower is to really share where we're at, and to share our truth and share that we're nervous and to remember that we're all in this human experience together. You can’t say the wrong thing to the right people, so get out there, find your audience, and live the life you want! I hope today’s quickie serves as a reminder or way for you to be able to get back to the heart-centered reason of WHY you’re working on your dreams.   Earn Your Happy is a production of Crate Media
