Earn Your Happy

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Visualizing who you were put on this planet to be How to go from where you are now to where you want to go How growth comes from taking massive risks    Resources: The Fast Foundations Mastermind The Bliss Project 2020   Show Notes:   Today’s episode is for the person who needs a kick in the ass right now. The person who’s thinking, I'm ready. I can't live this way another day. I can't wake up to another Monday where I don't like who I am because I'm not showing up as my highest self. Nobody's coming for you. This is going to be the rest of your life if you don't take massive action. If you're looking at someone that you think is lucky, maybe they’re seeing success because they are willing to not be liked, they're willing to do it scared, they're willing to fail, to be wrong, to get criticized or get nasty messages in their DMs. They're willing to invest, they're willing to make massive risks, to lose money, to feel uncertain every damn day and they’re willing to do anything to create the support that they need. They're willing to keep moving and love themselves, even when other people don't. So if you are struggling, know that it’s because you’re growing and getting stronger. 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

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Chris and Lori’s mastermind, Fast Foundations Why sometimes we need to end friendships Why everyone in our life is there to teach us something How we must give up the idea that we are always right Resources: The Fast Foundations Mastermind The Bliss Project 2020   Show Notes: Today I want to chat with you about toxic friendships and breaking up with friends. I know some of you are like, yes, please give me the goods. I need to break up with friends right now. It's absolutely true. Some relationships have an expiration date and when they pass it, the friendship can go south. Not everyone is supposed to be with you for your entire journey. People who we attract in our lives that cause problems from the get-go can also teach us something - how to treat everyone with compassion and set boundaries in the most loving way possible. To move through life with more flow and ease, we must give up the idea that we are always right and in fact assume that everything is our fault and that everything is a lesson.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: How Alexa got into wrestling How Alexa recovered from eating disorders How Alexa creates safe boundaries for herself and deals with online bullying Alexa’s plans for her future   Resources: Instagram: @alexa_bliss_wwe_ Twitter: @AlexaBliss_WWE The Bliss Project 2020 Chris and Lori’s Become Aligned course   Show Notes: Today my guest on the show is professional wrestler Alexa Bliss. Alexa watched wrestling growing up, then competed as a bodybuilder while she was recovering from eating disorders. Although she got a lucky break to become a wrestler she says really she was training for it her whole life because she’s been in athletics since she was five. In this conversation we talk about online bullying, handling out of control situations and pushing yourself to achieve your goals. What I learnt from interviewing Alexa is that the basic mindset and principles are the same exact across the board, no matter what your dream is. I don't care if you want to start a business. I don't care if you want to be an entrepreneur. I don't care if you want to be a WWE superstar. It is all the same mindset and belief in yourself and connection to other people.   Question Highlights: How did you become a professional wrestler? How did you integrate recovering from eating disorders into your fitness journey?   How do you keep a safe boundary for yourself mentally when you're in the public eye all the time?   What keeps you going in those moments where you don't think there's anything left?   What do you hope teenage girls get from seeing you?   Guest Bio: Alexa has been a driven competitor her entire life, excelling especially in gymnastics and eventually becoming a Division I cheerleader. Alexa even entered the world of competitive bodybuilding, where she became one of the youngest competitors to receive her IFBB Professional status. With such an incredible athletic background, it’s little wonder that Alexa quickly became one of NXT’s most dangerous Superstars. Although she never captured the NXT Women’s Title, she was a constant threat.   When she joined SmackDown LIVE, Alexa ascended to the top by becoming a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion. Then she made history at WWE Payback, becoming the first Superstar to win both the SmackDown Women's Title and the Raw Women's Title.  Earn Your Happy is a production of Crate Media
