The Resilient Minds Podcast

When we take that first step into a more conscious modality of living, suddenly our whole world changes. We see the world differently, we see ourselves differently, and we see other people differently as well. During these moments of profound transformation, we may have to confront a vision of the future where the road ahead is fraught with challenges. We may find ourselves at odds with the systems of the world around us, questioning some of the fundamental rules of our reality. We may feel that we are somehow different, that we don't 'fit,' or that things we once took for granted are now coming into question. And it can feel overwhelming, but we must keep moving forward. Farah Siddiq knows firsthand how important it is to embrace your highest incarnation, and not to suppress your vision for the world no matter how outlandish it might seem. The only way to be a conduit for the infinite power of the universe is by aligning your actions with your inspiration and letting the energy flow. Of course, the highest power any of us can channel is the power of love, the power of compassion, and no matter how high our aspirations take us we must never forget that we are here to serve. Starting with ourselves, it is our responsibility to treat the world with care, build a more compassionate community, and move forward in unity together. Farah Siddiq is an Afghan-American female tech founder, teacher and healer. She is also the CEO and Co-Founder of a startup called iAscend, a social marketplace for holistic health and healing experiences. Where wellness is right and not a privilege.

Life is a beautiful adventure, but it is also a journey full of trials, tests and challenges for each one of us. We can't know what other people are going through, so there is no sense in comparing our different situations, but there is one thing we can all do to improve our situation. Find reasons to be grateful. Even in the darkest moments, even when you feel at your very lowest. There is always something that we should recognize as good in our lives, whether it be another person, a fortunate position, opportunities ahead of us or just the divine glory of your purest inner self. By reorienting your mind away from destructive emotions like anger, fear or listlessness, we tap into the universal power of love, compassion and strength. Amberly Lago has experienced her share of challenges in life, and through it all she has learned how to be a more loving person, how to let go of anger and transform it into clarity of perspective. It has led her to the conclusion that no matter what small things might stand in our path, whether in the world around us or in our own mind, the best thing we can do is focus on what's really important. She was able to find gratitude in situations which most of us would hope never to experience, and has become such an inspiration for so many people in the process. Like with everything else, your reality starts within your own mind. Starting with a strong foundation of loving kindness, free from fear and anxiety, is sure to help us overcome whatever challenges life might send our way. So give yourself the best possible start to every day - you deserve it. Amberly Lago is a peak performance coach, TEDx speaker, podcaster, and a leading expert in the field of resilience and transformation. She is the best-selling author of "True Grit and Grace" and empowers people around the world by sharing her story how she turned a tragedy into triumph.

Why do we do what we do? Why do we spend so much time and energy, money, and so many sleepless nights pursuing our goals and our dreams? We might all have different visions of tomorrow, but we are all searching for the same thing: meaning. Living a life with purpose is the ultimate source of power, and if your efforts take you closer to the world of your dreams then you will never work a day in your life. Of course, when it comes to purpose and meaning, what could be purer and more powerful than love? The universal guiding force of compassion which connects us all to one another via the universal consciousness? The intention to make the world a better place, to constantly improve and strive for more compassion, caring and support is an endless source of inspiration for me no matter where I find myself in the world. Ruby Fremon remembers the extraordinary transformation which came about when she started to imbue her life with meaning, and it's been her guiding principle ever since. She uses this strong foundation to work towards the ultimate unity which can be found in the diversity of the human experience, a unity based on each of our unique talents and experiences as part of a cohesive whole. Harmony is key to a better world for all of us, and embracing what makes us unique is the foundation of true unity. If that is not a meaningful vision for the future, then I don't know what is.

The universe is full of mystery, all around us and within us as well, and we are all gifted with the power of understanding so that the cosmos can know itself, and marvel in its own splendour! Kara Goldin has found over the years that people who are always eager to learn tend to be some of the happiest, most fulfilled and energised, and that definitely includes her. By putting herself out there and embracing every opportunity to learn, she has found herself making new connections, encountering whole new realms of fascination and broader, deeper understanding than she ever dreamed possible. Why set limitations on your curiosity, or tell yourself to 'stay in your lane?' Whatever piques your interest is worth pursuing, regardless of how neatly it fits into your life plan. Some people advise us to think outside the box, but real intellectual freedom means living your whole life outside the box - who knows, you might be about to discover your true passion! There are so many ways to learn more about the world, and every one of them means learning more about yourself in the process. Whether it's travel, business, meeting new people or serious study, the universe offers us an unlimited source of opportunity to learn. It's what we do best, it can change the world, and it's something we will never regret. I have never heard anyone wish that they hadn't learned something, no matter how trivial it might seem. So go on learners, wherever you are and whatever gets your brain fizzing - expand those horizons, rise and shine! Kara Goldin is the Founder and CEO of Hint, Inc., best known for its award-winning Hint water, the leading unsweetened flavored water.

We might sometimes think that the pursuit of wisdom is a purely intellectual objective, but in reality it's so much more. Wisdom transcends knowledge. It's a level of understanding which cannot be put into words, a connection between your heart, your soul, and the universe all around you. Achieving that state takes dedication to yourself and your goals, through a process that Dr. Caroline Leaf calls 'mind management.' She's spent years teaching people to awaken a sense of mindfulness in everything they do, across every aspect of their lives, and allow it to empower their actions for maximum benefit. Whether you're meditating, working out or just getting a bite to eat, presence of mind will unlock the power of your inner potential. This 'wise mind' holds the key to understanding our emotions, where they come from and where they are likely to lead us, until we discover for ourselves that the real wisdom is found in kindness and respect for others. Through developing this state we can identify, process, and deconstruct the layers of conditioning which keep so many of us stuck in negative cycles with roots in our childhood experiences. Imagine the impact on future generations if they were taught from a young age how to center their hearts on love and their minds on wisdom, where would that take us as a society? Discovering your inner self is not an easy journey for anyone, and no one can walk the path for us, but the destination is an incomparable state of alignment between the world around us and the universe within us. Give yourself a chance, put faith in the wisdom of your mind, and achieve the incredible every day. These are some of the tips that Dr. Caroline Leaf leaves us in this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast. Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics from the University of Cape Town and the University of Pretoria in South Africa, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain, helping them succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university and the workplace.

When you love what you do, there's nothing wrong with working every day. And that's the key to everything - love! Our efforts and endeavors shouldn't just be about the money we make or the respect we get from other people, they should reflect the deepest and innermost part of our soul. That way, when we find success, we can be secure in how valuable it is to us. We can be free of relying on other people to feel good about ourselves or to validate us, a true freedom that no one can take away. But that kind of love for ourselves takes time to build, and it requires the same care and attention that we would put into any other meaningful relationship. It took Lauren Courtney years to build a strong connection with herself, and convert all that energy into success, but all through the process she never lost faith in her ability to achieve what she wanted. By aligning her goals with her heart, she was able to channel an incredible power into her actions, and work with the universal force of change to bring about something incredible. Whether it's with mantra, meditation, training or just showing up for yourself every day, fostering a sense of genuine self belief has given her everything she needs to keep moving forward, whatever happens. And you can do the same. We all can. Just be patient. Work with yourself first. Never forget that change without begins with transformation within, and that by achieving true alignment between our mind, body and soul, there's nothing we cannot do. These are some of the tips that Lauren Courtney leaves us in this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast.

There are so many expectations placed on all of us, all the time. By society, by our friends and family, and especially by ourselves. We are told how to behave, what to do and who we should be, and suddenly we find ourselves on autopilot, just going through life accepting things, but not actually living them. And we have to stop. We are all worthy of so much more. The most radical act of love you can take in this life is to love yourself, sincerely and with truth, and allow yourself to be free, unshackled, wherever you go. No matter how much we change ourselves to suit the preferences of others, it will never be enough, because the love that we receive is not for us, it's for a fraudulent idea of ourselves, a character we are playing. It can be exhausting. By showing your true self, honest and unfiltered, we open a doorway for others to love us. Virginia Salas Kastilio wants everyone to know that it's okay to be imperfect, or angry, or upset, it's okay to bear the scars of experience and struggle, because it doesn't make us any less powerful or amazing. What's important is that we are the wholeness of ourselves. That is the foundation of healing. People will pick up on the sincerity of who you are, and be drawn to your powerful energy, but more than that, you will be drawn back to yourself, a source of loving support that will be with you always, wherever you go. So for us, as leaders, we must build spaces in which people feel safe to start peeling back those layers, we have to offer them a sense of security, the power of understanding, prioritize their needs and provide the support they need to reconnect with themselves. These are some of the tips that Virginia Salas Kastilio leaves us in this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast.

Everything we need is already inside us. It's something we're told again and again, so often that it can sometimes sound like a cliché, but it's true. If we have the courage to let go, to stop struggling against the flow of life and instead dive headfirst into the current, allowing our feelings to guide us and our hearts to absorb the wisdom of every experience, we will truly break free from fear. The things in life which resonate with us deserve our attention, our energy, and through them we can find a path towards a more fulfilled and conscious version of ourselves It can be overwhelming at times, and that's okay. That's life. Things happen that we can't predict, but we can prepare ourselves to deal with them in the best possible way. With love, with respect, with wisdom. We can return to nature, and uncover our fundamental essence. Jeff Scult's journey has been a long one, and it's not over yet. He's determined to help us all reframe, release and reveal the powerful truth which lies beneath the surface of this human experience. By honoring the process of creation and surrendering to the energy of life, he has initiated a movement for a better, brighter world, where we all find the gold within ourselves. These are some of the tips that Jeff Scult leaves us in this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast. After three decades amplifying other's disruptive ideas and inspirations, Jeff pivoted in 2016 to be the architect of his own vision - One Golden Thread - a "lovestyle" clothing brand whose "unisexy" minimalist designs are devoted to the principles of Interbeing - nature and us as one - to make a net positive impact for Earth, us and self. Jeff and One Golden Thread was lauded by FORBES in Feb 2021 for "raising the sustainability bar for Gen R : Regeneration." Jeff also serves conscious leaders to unearth the golden essence of their mission through his brand soul language consulting, "ConSculting", all in the name of igniting transcendent truth for another. Jeff considers his greatest life achievement mentoring two at-risk/father-less boys for 11 years in a Big Brother's Program in the early 2000's. Both are loving fathers today.

To change the world we must first change ourselves, so even if your goal is the unity of an entire community you can't afford to neglect establishing unity within yourself first. Leadership is not a single person's job, it's a collective expression of dedication towards a goal, where everyone has their part to play, and each individual recognizes that their highest value is as a part of something greater than themselves. But to reach that level of harmony with others we must understand who we are, what we believe, and what unique value we bring with us to any endeavour. Reconnecting with who you really are at the deepest level of your being, embracing everything that makes you 'you,' and allowing that sense of awareness to integrate with our efforts will inevitably guide you to being in the right place at the right time. Canay Atalay has been at the forefront of the conscious leadership revolution for a long time, and she understands that by being true to ourselves we are able to be true to other people as well, and that together we can achieve incredible transformations. Whether we take one step at a time or a great leap of faith, moving closer to our fundamental nature is the path to integrity, and the root of our real value. These are some of the tips that Canay Atalay leaves us in this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast. Canay, the founder of The Heroines and co-founder of Conscious Learning Tribe has been at the heart of the conscious design & innovation since 2007. Canay's superpower is bringing people together across borders and industries to collaborate & co-evolve for the better. Canay works across culture, business, technology, design, and spiritual realms.​ She has worked with 15% of Fortune 500 companies (2020) in 8 countries.

Understanding our own role in the situations of our life is a profound learning process which provides critical insight into who we are, and how we can move forward. All of us have the power to make change, to initiate transformation in our own lives and in the lives of people around us, and the moment we can let go of our own ego and act out of love, the results can be phenomenal. Lewis Raymond Taylor knows that sometimes what holds us back from healing is our expectation of other people, of how they should behave towards us or the role they are supposed to play, even though that is not within our power to control. Instead, he recommends opening our hearts and taking the action we believe will bring the most benefit to everyone, regardless of who is wrong or right in a given situation. If we can master this commitment to compassion, we are freed from the limitations of our past, and we can move forward in life turning adversity into an asset and transforming our pain into power. Being right is less important than doing what is right. The truth is that we can never really know what the end result of our experiences will be, but if we dedicate ourselves to helping others, then at least we can be sure that something positive will come out of them. These are some of the tips that Lewis Raymond Taylor leaves us in this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast. Lewis Raymond Taylor is an entrepreneur and world-traveller who found clarity the hard way. Overcoming substance misuse, trauma and mental illness, he transformed his life and made his way from prison to starting a 6-figure business and travelling the world. Lewis wants his incredible journey to inspire others, and aside from volunteering with various charities, has become a qualified, CPF accredited life coach, although of course he takes his own unique approach to helping others find success, however they choose to define it.
