“Fear is at the crux of everything. If you do not know how to master fear, then fear is always going to trick you. That’s because fear is smarter than you and more educated than you.” The whole world has shifted over the past year. Situations and circumstances have created a whole lot of unexpected change, which in turn has sparked fear. Fear is an automatic response that keeps us safe. But unchecked and untamed fear will keep you small and hold you back from living an extraordinary life. Fortunately, there are powerful techniques and approaches you can master, which can help you manage your fears - so you can live fearlessly. This episode with Rhonda Britten first aired in 2018. In it, Rhonda shares so much gold about how to navigate fear that I wanted to publish it again.    Rhonda Britten is a master life coach, the creator of the Fearless Living Institute, an Emmy-Award winner, and a two-time Oprah guest who’s dedicated her life to teaching people how to master fear. After a horrific experience at the age of 14, Rhonda spent the next 20 years of her life battling with fear in all its guises. From self-doubt, blame, and addiction, Rhonda struggled to work out life - until she decided to challenge her beliefs about who she thought she was. This decision opened the door to hope and freedom. It led Rhonda down a path where she’s helped people from across the world break free of indecision - so they can take the risks that lead to an authentic life. “When I started understanding how fear worked, that really changed my whole life.” Rhonda believes the key to fearless freedom is to understand how your fear works. When it comes to fear, everyone’s experience is different. We all have our own fear response based on who we are and what’s happened in our lives. In this episode, Rhonda reveals some simple, yet powerful questions that will enable you to understand what fear is trying to do - and how you can use fear to help you accomplish the things you want. There is so much gold in this episode.  It’s electrifying and inspiring, and I can’t wait for you to get your teeth into this wisdom because I know you’re going to love it. “Fear wants you to respond quickly - it’s fast, it’s reactive. But freedom takes patience, and power, and time, and space. And freedom has all the time in the world.”In this episode, Rhonda and I explore: Why an understanding of how fear works changed Rhonda’s whole life.What is the Wheel of Fear and the Wheel of Freedom and how they operate.Why fear loves you and isn’t out to get you. A key question Rhonda asks her clients that you should answer too. Why people don’t take the actions that will move them beyond fear. Why fear doesn’t let you be satisfied. (23:14)Why you must slow everything down when moving from fear to freedom.The role of authenticity in getting on the fearless train.Rhonda’s story and why she punished herself for 20 years after a childhood trauma. The month of gold stars that opened the window to another way. And more...How to contact RhondaCheck out Rhonda’s incredible podcast at www.MasterCoachMindset.com And find out more about the Fearless Living Institute at https://fearlessliving.orgWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“I choose to live a very intentional life because it’s just so much more fun to create a life by design instead of by default.” When you think about your life, what’s your balance between consumption and creation? This episode’s guest is Charles Clay, who has a powerful perspective for his life. Guided by ‘Vacation Vibration’, Charles has learned how to intentionally craft a life that holds space for deep emotions - at both ends of the spectrum. We tend to push off the more challenging emotions. We resist feeling them or numb them with consumption [such as alcohol or drugs]. These strategies might help us cope with the pain of the moment, but when we refuse to feel into the lows, we also miss out on the peaks. Charles has cultivated an ability to feel it all, empowering him to move through life with a zest and reverence for life that’s capture by the ‘Vacation Vibration’ vibe. It’s a fascinating philosophy and one that’s empowering for people wanting to feel and experience more. “Going deeper into the heavy emotions that I was afraid of previously, allowed me to break through a glass ceiling of what I thought could be experiences of joy, pleasure, and love.” Charles Clay is an Inner-Peace Coach & Healer. He’s also an author, speaker and founder of The Inner-Peace Process. Charles helps men and women release fear, anxiety and subconscious blocks to create their dream life with ease.To experience a ‘Vacation Vibration’, you need to be able to hold life at both ends of the spectrum. A big piece of Charles’ work is helping people handle their emotions to access so much more from their life. Tune into this episode and discover how to ride the emotional waves that characterize the human experience. As you dive deeper into Charles’ story, you’ll realize just how beautiful this journey can be. Here’s an overview of what we discuss: What inspires Charles to live life with reverence?How to raise your vibration and source your power internally rather than externally. Opening your capacity to receive more love, joy, and pleasure. Strategies for living life at the edge. The mountain accident that inspired Charles’ path to healing. Uncovering the golden nuggets inside the challenges. Charles’ journey to kinesiology. And more... “Our natural state is that of inner peace, and joy, and pleasure, and bliss, and all these great things.” If you want to dial up your life by getting more skilled at navigating emotions, then this is the episode for you.

“The reaction to the trauma doesn’t necessarily stop with the people who experienced it.” Do you have symptoms that you can’t explain? For example, are you overly anxious for no obvious reason? Do you instinctively push people away or intentionally disassociate from difficult feelings in your body? Do you have irrational fears or thoughts about what could happen that don’t make logical sense?If so, there’s a chance you may be experiencing inherited trauma; that’s trauma, which started with your parents or your grandparents - not you. Generational trauma can impact our lives in profound ways. Fortunately, there is something you can do to transform the fears and soothe the feelings. There is a way to break the pattern so that the ancestral trauma stops with you. Mark Wolynn - author of It Didn’t Start With You and the director of The Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco has devoted his life to understanding and healing inherited family trauma. In this must-hear episode, Mark reveals how his work holds the potential to wildly transform your life as well as the life of your children and grandchildren [even if they’ve not yet been born].    “We don’t make the link that our anxiety, our depression, our shutdown is connected to our parents and our grandparents. We just think we’re wired this way.” The concept of inherited trauma is backed by science. As Mark explains in the episode, as we learn more about epigenetics, our clarity about the way trauma is passed on increases. Ancestral trauma is often behind the curtain. Logic can convince us that certain things are best left unsaid. But just because we don’t hear things doesn’t mean we can’t feel things. Mark’s work empowers people to dig deeper into their familial setting so they can understand the reactions and feelings locked in their body. As a result, his clients get to experience unimaginable feelings of freedom, closure, and clarity. You can get a taste of the potential that healing ancestral trauma could have for you when you tune into this episode. What is inherited trauma?What’s a healthy way to experience a healing event if you can’t tap back into the original trauma? How can you learn to be present with what is? How to differentiate between attachment and generational trauma. Why traumas affect fathering and mothering. The profound difference between forgiveness and understanding.What is inner child healing and why is it powerful healing work?How healing generational trauma impacts your children [and your children’s children].Changing how our genes express to protect our kids [and grandchildren]. Why Mark is passionate about this work [and how it healed his sight]. The significance of Mark crying into his mother’s clothes. And more…  “We’ve got to tame our trauma responses so we can live a loving, open, compassionate, and gentle life.” How to contact Discover more details about Mark’s work at https://markwolynn.comLike Mark on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mark.wolynn.31Follow Mark on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markwolynn/We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“Mindful eating is a process of connecting to your body more and letting your body be the guide of how you should be eating.” For many people, January represents the chance to start afresh.

“Most people think about purpose as this thing you want to do in the world. I think purpose is who you are.” What do you do next when you rip up the conventional rule book and create a situation where anything is possible in life? For me, this reality themed the second half of 2020. After my eight-year relationship ended, I felt heartbreak, shame, and fear, but there was also a sense of release and symbolism. I was free of cultural expectations, and with no roadmap, it was time to create my own. What followed was an intense healing journey guided by mentors, various modalities, journaling, and a north star of my truth. In this episode, my Message Muse Georgina El Morshdy guides us through my journey of becoming. In part 2 of my 2020 year-end review, I share my experiences, lessons, and learnings as I figured out how to navigate an unknown path - which ultimately led to me finding me. “Sometimes you are the medicine you’ve been craving all along - and it takes crises and shitty situations for you to get to a point where you can actually appreciate that fact.” The healing path I chose has been one of the most powerful, painful, and potent journeys I’ve ever experienced. Check out this episode to hear Georgina, and I explore:What happened next after I decided to choose myselfHow to lead a life guided by YOUR truthFinding mentors who embodied the life I wanted for myself Focusing on who I wanted to BE rather than what I wanted to HAVE or DOLeaning into the potency of present moment awarenessNavigating the shift from external to internal validation Rites of passage and transitioning from Prince to King energyWho did you become this year?The one thing you can do to kick-start your own healing journeyAnd more…Looking back, 2020 has been one of the most profound years of my life. As the door on this challenging, life-changing, and beautiful year closes, I feel complete. For me, 2020 will forever symbolize a powerful rite of passage that has equipped me with everything I need to step into the next chapter - whatever that brings. By listening to this episode, I hope you get some clarity for your own healing journey. I hope this episode inspires you to extract the beauty of your 2020 - and in the process, you get to see who you became as a result of everything you’ve lived through this year.  “Life is always giving us the perfect cocktail of crisis to unearth the next layer of truth within ourselves.” We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.
