“I would say mindfulness, as a practice, as a whole, is about waking up to the true experience of life.” Sara Raymond was in her early 30s when she realised she was drifting through her life aimlessly. Up until this point, her life had been guided by what she felt she ‘should’ do. The feeling of being in the status quo inspired Sara to reinvent her life. This feeling was the beginning of The Mindful Movement. Sara founded The Mindful Movement in 2016 with a desire to inspire others to live mindful, fulfilled lives. Sara is passionate about self-healing movement practices. Through her work, she combines her skills of hypnotherapy, meditation, pilates, and yoga to help others build confidence in their body and release stress, anxiety, and emotional blocks. Sara has also guided 100,000s of people through mindful practices on her YouTube Channel and in her private practice. “Underneath the fear is our unconscious beliefs.” In this conversation, we explore the power of mindfulness to ignite presence. I also loved hearing Sara share about the role her son has played in the development of her business by helping her start her YouTube channel. Here’s an overview of what else we talked about. Key takeaways:Waking up and recognizing that you’re living in the status quo. The work to connect with safety in your heart. How contrast helps us feel the beauty of life.How other people’s feelings spark our own emotional responses. Sara’s definition of mindfulness. Where does resistance come from and does it have utility for humans? Cultivating the courage to decide. Education for the next generation. And more...This was a candid conversation that inspired me to open up vulnerably about my journey over the past 18 months too. If you’re ready to live a life of desires instead of ‘shoulds’ and you’re curious to know what lies on the other side of tough decisions, this episode is for you.    “We need to have struggles and challenges to make the amazing experiences in our life really stand out and be amazing.” Contact Info:The Mindful Movement - https://themindfulmovement.comSummary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“Growth, to me, is a self-defined concept, because the hardest thing for you might not be the hardest thing for me.” One of my favorite rituals is the deep-dive reflection I do monthly. I love looking back over everything that happened to pull out the patterns, lessons, and learnings. Best of all, I get to share the highlights with you in this episode.The theme of this month was finding and navigating my edges - the point of tension where growth can skyrocket. My new personal trainer ignited this thread after helping me become aware of an unexpected growth opportunity within my body. That awareness spilled into other areas of my life, creating beautiful opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. This month taught me the power of building a relationship with my limits. Every edge is a catalyst for expansion. When we cultivate the capacity to feel safe inside tension, our true depth and potential cracks open. As a result, this month has seen an elevation in everything from my health to my businesses to my relationships. “You can't be excited about where you're going if you can't also be grateful for how far you've come.” As usual, my dear friend Georgina El Morshdy is here to hold space and guide us as we navigate this conversation about playing inside tension, igniting the curiosity to explore expansion, and having the courage to stretch yourself outside of what feels comfortable. Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll hear us discuss: How my new personal trainer opened a gateway to finding new limits to explore. How you can feel when you're at your edge. There’s always a new limit to find - in every area of your life. Why the concept of personal limits can help us escape comparison culture. My new understanding of energy and the role it plays in my life.Learning to connect with how I want to feel, not what I want. And more…We all have different edges where growth can happen - because we’re all experiencing unique journeys through this dance of life. Our edges are an invitation. An opportunity to explore what’s beyond the sense of self we believe we can hold. As a result, the courage to dance with yoru personal edges can empower you to optimize your personal and spiritual growth. Tune in to hear the whole story in this month’s reflection episode. “Technically, I'm an entrepreneur that moves energy in the form of money.” Contact Info:Georgina’s - Instagram & Facebook. Summary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“I think we can use our challenges or our pains to go into gratitude with that lens of like, “How can I be grateful for it?”.” This week’s episode is the recording of an impromptu conversation between me and my sweetheart - the incredible Gina Worful. Here’s the backstory… It was Thanksgiving morning and Gina and I got talking about all the things we’re grateful for. We went deep; remembering all the people, opportunities, and synchronicities that have shown up for us. As we reflected together, some deep insights bubbled up and we realized that we wanted to share them with you. This episode is the product of that decision. I hope you enjoy it. “I think we needed to actually go against the grain of our intuition in order to break ourselves open and get those sledgehammer experiences.” A brilliant dietician, Gina is exceptionally gifted at bringing spiritual concepts back to the body - so we can experience who we are on a physical level more deeply.  In her work, Gina helps people connect to their body through food and I really appreciated how this angle showed up in this conversation. Here’s what else we discussed: The power of listening to life’s nudges to change. How the death of Raj’s mentor inspired him to change his life.Why do we allow our health to get off track?What stops us from listening to instincts & intuition. Why anxiety shows up. How it feels to connect with yourself. Gina’s story of feeling gratitude for the moment when her life fell apart. The power of using fear to identify your edges. Why gratitude is like prayer. How food cravings are whispers that something needs to change. Leaning into the wisdom of the body. And more…It’s easy to be grateful for all the good things in your life and it doesn’t take much to show appreciation when life is on the up. But can you stay in a place of gratitude when you’re going through the worst struggles? One of the biggest takeaways for me was leaning into the power of feeling gratitude for the pain - knowing that there’s a learning or a hidden gift waiting to be discovered somewhere. I loved this episode because it helped me uncover insights about gratitude I’ve never discussed before. I’m grateful this conversation allowed me to uncover them. I hope you enjoy this conversation too. “I feel like our souls are choosing a path before we choose our path. Our souls know.” Contact Info:Raj details.  www.ginaworful.com/programshttps://www.instagram.com/gina.worful/Summary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“I started to recognize that the human system, the rhythm of a human is: grow and then rest, repair, grow again.” Rewind to 2012, and Dawn Breslin’s life broke apart. She’d been at the peak of her career - enjoying red carpet events, speaking on some of the biggest stages in the world, and authoring bestselling books. Then suddenly, the success was gone. A series of unavoidable life events escalated at the same time leaving Dawn emotionally, energetically and financially bankrupt to the tune of £100k. What in the moment felt like an identity death gently evolved into a rebirth. In a moment of surrender, Dawn tapped into the harmonizing effect of nature. This experience became a trigger that empowered Dawn to swap debt, burn out and energetic depletion to one of vibrant health, balance and radiant wellbeing. Now, Dawn empowers others to come into a rhythmic cycle and be potent in life by dancing the giving and receiving cycles. In this episode, Dawn shares how her Harmonizing Alignment Process guides us to heal the inner child, tap into the rhythm of human, and cultivate a fierce love for ourselves. “To be really potent, it's often a cyclical dance between receiving and then doing.” Dawn Breslin is a leading light in the field of coaching and personal transformation. Through her work as a TV & Radio presenter, best-selling Hay House author, inspirational keynote speaker and media consultant she has inspired thousands of individuals to heal, re-energise and transform their lives. Tune into this episode to hear Dawn and I explore the following: How Dawn’s life fell apart in 2012. Dropping into presence and finding the flow of life. Tapping into the awe in front of our eyes. How a flower transformed Dawn’s life and created a rebirth. The systems in nature that can help with our psychology. The role of inner child work in giving & receiving. Developing the inner dialogue to move through life with grace.The power of re-energizing work. Using boundaries to protect the self. Loving yourself into the fullness of your potential.  “The connection with the inner child means that the energy work can be done, because you've got self-honor in place.” In a world that’s prioritized doing over being for so long, Dawn’s story is a reminder of the power of finding a rhythm between the two. Dawn’s story is so empowering and her presence is passionate. I learned so much from this episode and I’m sure you’ll feel the same way when you check it out. Contact InfoWebsite: Www.dawnbreslin.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dawnbreslinuk/Instagram: ​​instagram.com/dawnbreslinuk/Summary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“If you’re not aware that you’re telling the same stories, then you’re never going to look for a different story to tell. So I think awareness is key.” What if the stories you tell yourself about who you are aren’t even true? What if you could rewrite old narratives and gift yourself a more empowering identity inside which you can spark exponential growth and craft a life that lights you up. What if you had the courage to become curious about your feelings, your opportunities, and life in general?How do you imagine things would unfold for you when lived through a perspective like this? “It takes courage to explore who we are, how we want to live, and step out of the narrative that we’ve been taught.” This week’s guest is Kezia Luckett - a positive psychologist, best-selling author, and international speaker. Using her Energy Codes methodology, Kezia empowers women to create a life that’s in total alignment - so they can tap into the realms of possibility. In this episode, we explore how you can leverage your feelings, reframe your thinking, and shift your perpetual narratives to reclaim the truth of who you are. Check out these episode highlights: How Kezia invited her father to shift his perspective about the potency of these times. Take the opportunity to choose the lens we put on the situations or stories we tell. Embracing childlike curiosity to better understand the world. Feeling inspired to lean into our bodies in our search for truth. How postnatal depression inspired Kezia’s shift from doing to being. Remember that ALL emotions are phenomenal. Your feelings don’t have to define you. The story of the little boy, the fish, and why 50% of our memories may not even be true. Cultivating the courage to explore who we are and step out of the conditioned path. Remembering who you are so you can be a lighthouse. An introduction to Kezia’s Energy Codes methodology. And more... In a world of rampant external noise infused with chaos and confusion, knowing who you are at the deepest of levels sparks freedom. When we can empower ourselves with stories that lift us up, suddenly anything is possible. For a deeper-dive into the power we have to self-define and cultivate a more empowering identity, tune into this brilliant conversation with your new friend, Kezia Luckett.  “The more we can shine our lights, the more we can fully embrace the essence of who we are, not only do we give permission for other people to do the same; we show them where we are, so they can come and find us.” Contact Info:Check out facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kezialuckettInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kezialuckett/?hl=enWebsite - https://kezialuckett.comSummary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“The reason I’m willing to go into the deepest aspects of myself is because my soul, my heart is really craving safety.” This episode of Stay Grounded is my reflection for the month of October. Looking back, this month was themed in two core halves. During the first two weeks, I found myself exploring ways to elevate my communication skills. After some triggers in my relationship, it became clear that some of my methodologies were ineffective and disempowering. I know communication is a challenge for a lot of us. After all, we often learn shitty communication from shitty communicators! In this episode, I hope to share with you some insights and discoveries I made this month that could empower you too. Another huge theme was learning how to feel psychologically safe. The more I explore my own healing journey, the more I uncover deep, core wounds. Learning how to be OK with my imperfections and flaws was another big theme this month - and one I talk about in detail in this episode. “When I feel powerful it's because I feel safe in my body.” As usual, my dear friend Georgina El Morshdy is here to hold space and guide us as we navigate this conversation about authenticity, expressing your needs, and having the courage to be imperfectly you. Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll hear us discuss: The power of cultivating self-awareness at this point in our history.The role interpersonal relationships play in creating safety in your body. What it means to create psychological safety. Communication as a gateway to having your needs met. Deepening into my Human Design and learning how to be a Projector. The danger of mind reading and asking for words of affirmation. Allowing myself to be messy and imperfect. Exploring why we’re so afraid to feel. Creating space between our feelings and our reactions. And more...The monthly reflection episodes are a key part of my monthly routines and rituals. The more I’m able to use hindsight as a tool for amplified self-awareness, the more I’m able to release the things that aren’t mine - and reclaim the parts that are. It’s my hope that my reflection inspires you to deepen into your own. “The greatest levels of self-love are coming from me allowing myself to be seen and share what’s truly in my heart.” Contact Info:Raj’s details Georgina’s - Instagram & Facebook. Summary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“This past year has been a masterclass in surrender.” How would you navigate your way through an experience where you lost your core business overnight?Earlier this year, Dom Quarticcio accidentally sent an email about porn he’d written for his men’s group to his corporate clients. That email made his reputation toxic to the point that all his contracts were cancelled and deposits were pulled from his bank account. During a sacred plant ceremony, Dom asked his soul the question. “What the f*ck just happened?” The answer was clear, powerful and specific…. “Hey, dude, you said you were really serious about helping 10 million men get on this path. You're straddling the fence and now you have no other choice. And you're welcome.”What happened next is a powerful story of what’s possible when you surrender to the wisdom of your soul and the calling of your heart. “When you find your center, you no longer have to worry about the tornado. When you got your center, that’s all you need.” Dominick Quartuccio is the founder of The Great Man Mastermind, a series of masterminds for men who are ready to stop lone-wolfing their lives. Dom co-hosts The Great Man Within Podcast and is an international keynote speaker on topics centering men’s personal development, such as high-performance habits, designing a purpose driven life and why men need community.

“If we could all just remember that every single person on this planet is seeking the same level of intimacy, the whole world would change.” As we kick-start Q4, I’m excited to bring the first ¾ of 2021 to a close with this powerful reflective conversation. This one is even more poignant for me because it’s episode #200 so I’m also holding space to acknowledge and appreciate the journey that got me here and all the incredible people I’ve interviewed and connected with along the way. Thank you. September was a big month for me. I had some of the most painful growth experiences, and I’m so grateful for the opportunities that empowered me to transcend into deeper levels of intimacy with myself, my interpersonal relationships, and with life. All this happened inside an increasingly divisive and chaotic world where we’re being called to find our true voice while navigating the shifting sands of society. “It took me years to get to this place where I feel powerful enough to choose my reality and not allow the noise outside of me to hinder my sense of self, my calling, my work, my personal power.” As usual, my dear friend Georgina El Morshdy is here to hold space, provide reflections, and help us navigate this important conversation about sovereignty, intimacy, and living authentically with your true self. Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll hear us discuss: How it feels to record the 200th episode of Stay Grounded. The important difference between sexuality and intimacy. The experience of moving beyond the honeymoon phase in my relationship. Using your interpersonal relationships to find and heal core wounds.How a practice of awareness expands everything.Finding sovereignty inside of external chaos and uncertainty. Allowing your body to alchemize what you’re feeling. Finding your voice in a world of chaos. Purpose is not what you do, it’s who you areLeveraging death cycles to heal and grow. And more...These monthly reflections are always an anchor for me because I get to practice being seen in even bigger ways. I hold little back in these episodes because I want to give you an intimate glimpse into the rich benefits that emerge from diving deep into self-growth and personal development. I’m passionate about the power and healing potential of self-awareness and by showing you how these energies inspire and empower my life, I hope they open up something deeper for you too. Thanks for being part of this incredible community. Here’s to the next 200 conversations.  “Intimacy is an art, it’s a feeling, it’s something that you can experience with life.” Contact Info:Raj’s details Georgina’s - Instagram & Facebook. Summary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.
