Dealing with Massive Change • X30

We will learn: Practical tips for dealing with massive change How to decipher when you’re saying no to respect your boundaries vs fear of leaving your comfort zone Why co-creating with the is cosmos so impactful   How do you feel about change? Do you handle it well? Do you usually avoid it? Are you optimistic when happens outside of your will?   The funny thing is, we actually like change, but only when we’re the one’s choosing it.   People not only fear change, they genuinely believe (usually on an unconscious level) that when you’ve been doing something a certain way for a long time, it must be a good way to do things. And the longer you’ve been doing it that way, the better it is.   So change isn’t just about embracing the unknown — it’s about giving up something old (and therefore good) for something new (and therefore not good).   So with all the change happening in the world, not only do most of us have fear and resistance, we also have all of these beliefs that things are going to get worse.   So today we’re talking about how to deal with massive change. From pivoting your business, to homeschooling to dealing with loss and tragedy… and how to do so in a way that you’re actually thriving instead of barely surviving.   Our guest is Jenny Fenig. She’s an intuitive business coach with a goal to help you remember who you truly are: a magic maker.    Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/x30 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self: https://mindlove.com/morning Get Mind Love Premium for exclusive ad-free episodes and monthly meditations: https://mindlove.com/premium      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sparking Epiphanies • X29

Subscribe in Apple Podcasts or at mindlove.com for the full episode! We will learn: How to recognize an epiphany The stages of every life-changing epiphany How to utilize our epiphanies to their highest potentials.   Have you ever had an epiphany? Do you even know what one is?   We usually use it to mean a sudden revelation or insight… and most of the time I hear it used in those lightbulb moments of creativity… kinda like an “aha” moment.   But I’m coming to learn it goes a little deeper. The dictionary definition is a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential *meaning* of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.   And the word “epiphany” dates all the way back to ancient Greece. It comes from the Greek “epiphaneia,” meaning “appearance” or “manifestation,” and was usually referred to the revelations brought to us by the gods.   So it’s not just about a random insight… it’s an intuition realization about the the deeper meaning of something.   Which I believe is our whole purpose in being in a body in this lifetime. To find the meaning in our lives.   Our guest is Elise Ballard. She is the author of the book, Epiphany: True Stories of Sudden Insight and Epiphany: The Journal, which are all part of her Epiphany Project, a collection of interviews with people from all walks of life about their greatest epiphanies.    She is now considered an “epiphany expert” so I’m super stoked at the insights we’ll get from today’s episode.   Show Notes: mindlove.com/x29See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Motherhood & Entrepreneurship • X28

Subscribe in Apple Podcasts or at mindlove.com for the full episode! We will learn: Multi-sensory healing - your senses are the portals for your awareness Why strong women often feel empty and disconnected inside How to stop outsourcing your authority   Do you believe you can have it all? Or does a part of you believe that having it all is actually a little selfish? As women, we’re given mixed messages, about pretty much everything. Thankfully we live in an era of female empowerment so there are plenty of stories of women being successful and raising a family.   But what I’ve found is that when it comes down to it… like when women are faced with the logistics of what it takes to have both, the choice becomes a little murkier.   We wonder if it’s selfish to outsource our parenting, or if it makes financial sense or what we’re depriving them of, or if we’ll have the energy to succeed and still be a good mom.   So today we’re talking to someone who has done it all.   Cherie Burton is a pioneering spiritual psychologist whose mission in life is to transform women into authentically embodied and empowered leaders.    She is also a mother of six, an author, an international speaker and host of the Women Seeking Wholeness podcast.   Sign up for Mind Love Premium here.   Show Notes: mindlove.com/X28See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And how your mind and body manifest that unease might be different.There are a few mindset shifts that I think have played a huge role in my being able to overcoming my anxiety quickly.First, I don’t identify with it. It’s temporary and this step is critical to trusting yourself to move through your feelings.Second, train yourself to look within instead of placing blame outside of yourself. This also puts the power back in your hands because you can change how you’re approaching the moment, but you usually can’t change other people or events.Once your brain is primed that you have more power than you used to give yourself credit for, then you have all sorts of tools for dealing with anxiety in the moment.And that’s what we’re talking about today.Our guest is Jean Walters.
