“Everything comes back down to this conversation around feeling and healing and learning to go deep within ourselves and remember who we are.” I’m so pumped to share my monthly reflection for March with you. This was a rich, potent conversation about the path to experiencing deep love and self trust through being present with every feeling that exists within you. There was a time when I lived above my neck only, disconnected from my emotions and the whispers of my soul. Going inward and reconnecting with my emotional body has been both challenging and one of the most beautiful adventures I’ve ever had. Most people live in their minds, unconsciously disconnected from their bodies from a fear of feeling something they don’t even realize they are afraid of feeling.But as you’ll hear in this episode, when you find the courage to go inwards and feel what you truly feel, your life expands in ways your mind cannot even fathom. Tune in to hear more…“You need to know that going inward will not kill you. The mind needs to know that if your life changes too much, you're going to be okay.” As usual, Georgina El Morshdy is back to hold space for us as we navigate the emotional highs and lows of March 2022 - and all the love and lessons this month offered. Tune in now to hear us explore: Different levels of knowing The power of finding soul-deep conviction. Why I allow myself to feel the grief of losing loved ones The journey of increasing our capacity to hold life. Book recommendations for walking this path. Techniques for connecting with your emotions. The power of your breath as a healing tool. How journaling helps me process & release. Understanding the body as a vessel for divinity. And more…If you’re ready to connect more deeply with the truth of who you are and learn how your feelings can be  a gateway, this episode is for you. Packed with tips, first-hand experiences, and deep insights, this potent conversation will inspire something in your soul.

“it's a new experience of learning to live with my full body and accessing intuition and connecting with truths that are present inside my body and my whole soul, my everything.” February was a month of potent growth for me. As I explore my emotional triggers to lean deeper into my healing journey, I’ve been able to integrate aspects of my shadow and expand my knowing of who I am. Looking back, February was about subconsciously living through the lens of full-body leadership. This looked like making decisions and moving through life with my whole body - not just my mind. It meant leveraging the wisdom of the heart, soul, gut, and sacrum in addition to my intellect. This shift in being has felt so powerful. Experiencing a full-body life has exposed me to expanded realities where everything is magnified and on fire. I’m excited to share these experiences with you in this week’s reflection episode. “I want that full-body life. Where everything is just on fire and everything is just alive and magnified.” As usual, your old friend Georgina is here to hold space for us as we navigate all the highs and lows of what was a powerful month. Tune in to hear us explore:Full body leadership and accessing the wisdom of all of you. Sparking growth through the quest for expansion.Healing the entitled victim.  An example of how your childhood experiences drive your adult beliefs and mindsets.Understanding where you’re the common denominator in your triggers. What does it take to be radically honest with your truth so you can heal? How self-soothing can heal the inner child. Everything is happening for me. Healing through dreams. And more…Full body leadership inspires all areas of your life - your relationships, business, the pursuit of art and more. Through this leadership approach, you create an opportunity to access the infinite wisdom that is ALL of you. In turn, you can expand, grow, and lean into the deepest levels of impact and fulfillment. I’m excited to share more about this principle in this week’s powerful reflection episode. “All my energy centers are just lined up and I just feel this clarity as a result.” Contact Info:Raj’s details Georgina - FB & InstagramSummary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“Our ego was created to protect us. It comes up as a protection mechanism.” Part of our journey through life is to learn to navigate and work with the ego. The ego is a powerful force that can keep us trapped in a victim mindset, unconscious ways of being, and stories and narratives that aren’t conducive to the way we want to live. As a result, it’s tempting to try to ‘kill’ the ego. But what if a more powerful path is to learn how to befriend it.In this episode, I’m talking with Rob Sirstins. Rob is a coach and teacher who helps people find their warrior within so they can change the narrative in their own heads and get on the path of their fullest potential. He’s also a published author whose latest book Ego of The Warrior, empowers people to partner with their ego instead of trying to fight it. I read the book, it greatly impacted my life, and I’m pumped that you can now tap into Rob’s brilliance through this episode.  “We hear all the time. We need to kill the ego. That's just not possible. What I learned is I want to partner with it.” I’ve known Rob for a number of years now. He’s a dear friend and we attend many of the same healing communities together. Rob inspires me because he’s so deeply committed to the work. He’s someone who took his healing journey into his own hands - despite the challenges he’s faced. He was abandoned as a child, he experienced racism and a rock bottom that almost drove him to take his own life. His courage to discover who he really is created a space where the past no longer controlled his future. Today, Rob is a fierce leader who empowers others to claim their fullest potential. Tune into this episode to hear Rob and I explore: Understanding the origin of the victim mindset. Why our egos keep us trapped in disempowering realities. Finding an awareness that dismantles the victim mentality. The power of having people call you out on the things you can’t see.Why self-love is a fundamental aspect of dismantling the victim. Why your identity fears self-forgiveness. Developing tools to navigate your ego. Asking for help. And more…Tune in now to discover some practical tips and suggestions - inspired by Rob’s personal experiences - that will help you dismantle your victim mindset and learn to befriend your ego. “It’s funny how our ego will hold on to the old stories.” Contact Info:www.robsirstins.comhttps://www.facebook.com/rsirstinshttps://www.instagram.com/@robsirstinsSummary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“Consciousness doesn't let wonderful things be marginalized.”The energy of intimacy is a powerful way to connect deeper with life. In turn, a quest for intimacy can transform your relationship with everything including yourself, your partner, your work, and the world. I met this episode’s guest at a retreat for people seeking greater levels of intimacy with themselves and their significant others. Stuart Sovatsky was a guest speaker and he blew my mind. When he spoke, EVERYONE listened to his every word. Stuart’s career has spanned over 4 decades. His experience and wisdom in the relationship, intimacy, and erotic art space makes me want to bow. He’s been a marriage counselor for 44 years and was the first choice to co-direct Ram Dass’s prison ashram, and first in the US to bring yoga to incarcerated youth and the homeless mentally-ill in the 1970s. He’s served at the office of the Dalai Lama and has taught spiritual practices and modalities across the world. He’s the author of multiple books including Advanced Spiritual Intimacy and Words From The Soul. He’s practiced kundalini yoga for 24 years and is the director of two psychotherapy clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area. He teaches at JFK University and the California Institute of Integral Studies. “It's very grounding to take the mundane aspects of life and not be bored by them.” The way Stuart moves through life is so inspiring because he instills the concept of devotion and tantra at the core of everything. Stuart meets every person and treats every experience as if God is inside, which means his appreciation and reverence for life is far beyond what most people know is possible. In this episode, Stuart and I explore: What is devotional love?Tackling polarity with shared human experiences. The intense power of eye gazing as a devotional practice. Defining tantra.The simplest secret for letting love in. Balancing emotions through alternate nostril breathing.Experiencing the power of reverence. Stay grounded by appreciating yourself. Tune in for a beautiful conversation about cultivating a profound reverence for life. It’s time to discover the power of finding a level of depth and potency in the everyday moments.“The best grounding is you appreciating yourself.” Summary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“Your shadow work, your mindset, those subconscious programs, is what governs everything in your body. It's the control center. It's the thermostat to the house.”Shadow work is a huge focus in my life right now and I’m excited to share more in the podcast. In these shadow themed episodes, I’m bringing on people to talk about their experiences of different shadow emotions. In this episode, Juanique Roney (aka @gutsy_mom) shares her experience with grief. Juanique is a soul sister to me and one of the most inspiring and powerful women I’ve ever met. She’s had a traumatic five years after her husband Tristin was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2017. He died last July. They had two young children.The way Juanique chose to navigate loss, death, and grief is one of the most powerful and inspirational things I’ve ever witnessed. She chose to grieve for her husband before he died by willingly diving into her fears, pain, and loss. Her strength is breathtaking. Somehow, she was able to alchemize her pain into a new kind of love for Tristan. One that’s empowered their children to write a story about loss that’s unconventional and beautiful. “Loving yourself is the biggest service you can give to the world, because then you become a mirror for someone else to do the work.”As well as supporting her kids, Juanique’s journey through grief has allowed her to serve her thriving community in the most beautiful way. As the gutsy_mom, Juanique shows people how to lean into their bodies so they can live their healthiest, most vibrant lives. Through her wellness clinic, she teaches people to be their own self-healing superheroes. Tune into this episode to hear Juanique’s story and more…  Inspiring the courage to dive into the pain of shadow work. How desperation empowered Janique to heal her stress. Softening the walls around your heart. Admitting the things that you’re afraid to admit. The difference between transactional and unconditional love. Breaking down your heart walls. Tackling the global shadow. Empathogens. Manifesting medicines that help people do true healing. Addiction as a tool to push down, self-soothe, and numb out the shadow. How the fear of changing your life stops you from changing. Setting boundaries and navigating the response.How Juanique’s kids have experienced life after their dad’s death. The meaning of rainbows. And more…“Self love is not selfish love, it's self love. And when you fill your love cup, you can then give what's overflowing.”Shadow work is confronting and painful. But if you allow yourself to sink in, you experience the flip side of healing, love, and freedom. Juanique’s story is a beautiful example of finding beauty in pain.

“When we choose to go into the darkest aspects of ourselves, change is exponential.” For me, the first month of 2022 (really the last 5 months) has been infused with shadow work. I want to emphasise that I’ve been fully supported through my journey with mentors and coaches. Shadow work is deep and can be very uncomfortable. It pulls you through emotions and memories that can be hard to hold (which is why I always recommend you do this work with the right support).  Shadow work has sparked exponential shifts for me, but it’s been confronting. This work sits at the intersection of tension, conflict, and resistance. It requires you to step into the discomfort and explore the darker side of your psyche. Where you feel entitled. Where you switch on victim mode. Where you’re attached to egoic beliefs about yourself. Shadow work is a practice to feel feelings you don’t want to feel. You cycle through pain and triggers. But when you surrender to the pain, confusion, and chaos into love, a new edge appears. It’s the edge of infinite potential.And it’s at this edge that your quality of life expands exponentially. “Feeling the feeling does not make the story true. Feeling the feeling that charges the story does not make the story true.” The personal development world is very comfortable embracing modalities that spark an upward spiral. But if you never explore the darker aspects of self, you hit a glass ceiling that you can’t breakthrough. Shadow work explores the downward vortex, which is just as valuable and often unexplored. It’s the inner work I believe society needs to do - especially as we feel resistance to doing so (assuming we have the right support). Here’s an overview of what we explore in this important episode. Creating a depth of insight from a mundane activity. Why nuance is key as your healing journey unfolds.Redefining what it means to stay grounded. The problem with spiral up positivity for our personal growth and healing. Why relationships are powerful containers for growth. Exploring the shadow side of overnight success. Leveraging radical honesty as a gateway into shadow work. The importance of learning how to communicate. And more…I’m pumped to share these experiences with you in this January reflection episode. As usual, your old friend Georgina is here to guide our conversation. Tune in, enjoy, and get a sense of the depth of transformation that’s available when you choose to dance in the dark. “When I think of shadow work, I think of exploring the aspects of ourselves that we feel very uncomfortable exploring.” Summary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.
