The You-est You® Podcast

Meet Chef Whitney Aronoff Whitney Aronoff is a Health Supportive Personal Chef in Laguna Beach, California. Passionate about wellness, the vibration of food, and supporting others in living their best life. Chef Whitney attended culinary school at The Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City and went on to work at farm-to-table restaurants in New York and Newport Beach. As a personal chef, she prepares custom meals and dinner parties for her clients and shares her seasonal recipes on Starseed Kitchen. In 2020, Chef Whitney launched a line of organic spice blends, sharing the custom seasonings her family has been enjoying for years. Knowing that a healthy diet is just one layer of being well, in 2021, she launched the podcast High Vibration Living With Chef Whitney Aronoff. She interviews experts on healthy eating, cooking, wellness, beauty, travel, and spirituality to help others find the modalities and tips to help them feel their best. The healthiest meal you can eat is the one you make at home. Chef Whitney aims to invite people into their kitchen, feeling empowered to make healthy choices for themselves and their loved ones and to experience high-vibration living. Starting From Scratch In 2014 Whitney was working as an HR manager for a company in Washington, DC, feeling a total lack of passion and excitement. She describes this experience as losing her spark and deciding to go on a quest to find out what lit her up. In doing this inner work, she rediscovered her inner girl, who loved food, health, well-being, and playing with food. She realized she wanted to attend culinary school and follow her passion for healthy food and cooking. After being let go from her position in HR, which she later saw as a blessing in disguise, Whitney enrolled in the Natural Gourmet Kitchen culinary program in New York City and changed up her entire routine and life by starting from scratch. With a blowup mattress, a few suitcases, and her books, Whitney headed for the Big Apple and immersed herself in culinary school and all things healing and health related to the culinary world. Handling Forks In The Road In starting from scratch to build her new life and business, Whitney shared the wisdom that building something viable and truly serving your niche takes time. After culinary school, Whitney had a fantastic job in New York, working for a well-known restaurant group, learning and enhancing her skills in various areas. Again, she found herself at another fork in the road when her father invited her to return to Southern California, rent-free, and try her own business. Chef Whitney decided to take the opportunity and learned another important lesson; it's ok to change and start new again. From this place of starting, she has built Starseed Kitchen, a successful organic spice blend company, a personal chef business, and a thriving show called The High Vibe Living podcast. Changing Up The Recipe In Life It's not only ok to change up your recipe in life but also to embrace that what you enjoy doing, experiencing, and eating now is probably different than twenty years ago. Our spiritual and inner growth need to allow for greater flow, change, and ease. She is learning now that it's time again to shift her energy and focus and spend more time on her self-care and reassess how she's working and serving others. This is a great reminder for us all to be open to the ebb and flow of life and natural shifts of innate growth and change. The important thing is to trust when it's time to change the recipe, and just like you might head into a kitchen with a variety of ingredients, let yourself play with what feels right and see what your soul comes up with. You never know what this next recipe will bring to your life and others.

Meet Adair Cates Adair Cates, one of my very dear friends, is a mom of twin girls, XCHANGE facilitator, Conscious Leadership trainer, and coach passionate about doing the inner work to be our best selves. Adair has designed and facilitated thousands of one-on-one and group conversations to unlock potential, promote well-being and accelerate sustained change. Using the strengths-based XCHANGE approach, Adair has led everything from team engagement events in organizations like Microsoft and Meta (Facebook) to online TedX gatherings, multi-day women's retreats, and organization-wide Conscious Leadership development trainings. She's a master experience designer and facilitator and a certified Heartmath Resilience Trainer with 15+ years of experience in adult education, leadership development, and mindfulness. She is the author of two self-development books, Live with Intention and Fully Engaged. In this episode, I talked with Adair Cates, my dear friend, about living life on life's terms and how she has moved through and been healing her nervous system, body, and mind after experiencing incredible loss. We often discuss spiritual and energy practices that help us stay regulated, resourced, and grounded. One of the biggest learnings on both parts is slowing down. Adair reminds us that we can attract instead of hustle and that relationships are more than just getting shit done. Regulating Your Nervous System Adair sadly lost her co-parenting partner and father to her twin daughters two years ago. She dealt with a degenerative eye condition that had her stop driving and other daily activities. Learning to regulate her nervous system was crucial to handling the grief, stressor, and loss as a mom to two young girls. Adair talked about the healing effects of techniques like breathwork, meditation, kundalini yoga, and other self-care practices promoting nervous system regulation. Giving Yourself Space To Have All Your Feelings One of the gifts from so much grief and loss was learning to give herself the space to experience and have all of her feelings. This is an excellent reminder for us that rather than running away, numbing out, or trying to avoid upsetting feelings, we want to learn how to create a compassionate space to feel whatever it is your feeling. Cultivating a kind and loving space for yourself can make all the difference in your healing journey, whether you're experiencing loss, grief, or a challenge. How Curiosity Can Heal One aspect of healing that so many overlooks is the power of curiosity. I teach this in my spiritual life coaching certification, and we discussed the healing aspect of questions because questions unlock new possibilities and affirmations. An example might be to ask yourself amidst a challenging time, 'How might this be a blessing'? By embracing a curious mindset, Adair started to change how she viewed her eye diagnosis, new life circumstances, and life changes. Sacred feminine friendships are all about authentic connections nourishing the soul and creating space for deep empathy, vulnerability, unconditional support, and love. I pray you also find sacred feminine friendships where you can grow together, share heartbreaks and celebrations, and be your most authentic self.

A Salesforce Top Influencer and a thought leader whose insights have been featured in major media, including Forbes and Inc, Elyse is passionate about empowering her clients to sell in a way that leverages their natural gifts and helps them build wealth. She is an international keynote speaker and host of She Sells Radio, where she shares best practices from female entrepreneurs and sales professionals who have accomplished extraordinary goals. Before founding She Sells, Elyse served as a Partner in an 8-figure international sales coaching organization, where she helped sales professionals achieve their goals. Outside of She Sells, Elyse is also a founding team member of Brand Builders Group, a personal branding strategy firm. Her client list includes New York Times bestselling authors, top 100 podcast hosts, and 8-figure entrepreneurs, as well as leaders who are earlier in their journey and committed to scaling their influence, impact, and income. Learn more about Elyse at www.ElyseArcher.com If you are a 'giver', have struggled with icky beliefs about money and prosperity, or feel uncomfortable with a masculine version of sales, this episode is for YOU. Listen closely to this deep conversation with Elyse Archer, a dear friend and badass woman leader, who shares how to change your prosperity thermostat and create sales using feminine energy and the power of your divine purpose. She shares these feminine principles of receiving with us in this episode. The Power Is In Deciding Elyse decided to change her money mindset; this commitment and a full-out decision changed everything. You can't be wishy-washy about your decisions; you need to go all in and decide that 'fine' and 'ok' are not good enough in this one lifetime. Your Desires Are Green Lights Elyse's essential lesson was learning to trust herself and her intuition. This has also been one of my greatest lessons. To truly flourish and thrive, you must start developing a relationship with yourself that is based on love, kindness, and trust. Learning How To Sell With Wholeness Elyse shares her story of being trained in sales from a highly masculine perspective, leading to extreme exhaustion, burnout, overwhelm, emptiness, and despair. Maybe you, too, can relate to your training or job expectations. She realized that her soul sought wholeness and a new spiritual center point where she could be of service and raise her impact and prosperity level. Elyse went from a $100,000 year to making $100,000 each month and realized that serving and selling from the heart and learning how to receive was life-changing and prosperous. While she had a lovely house and fancy things, she didn't feel lit up or whole inside. It wasn't until she invested in herself and got a coach and support to help her create a new paradigm for her identity and life. Additionally, Elyse learned firsthand that what was missing was learning to sell from wholeness. From a new feminine approach where the focus was on being comfortable with receiving and greater visibility. The reminder is to understand that all is based on energy and how you feel about yourself. If you're coming from an aligned place of wholeness, connection, and trust, you will begin to feel that, and the world around you can't help but emulate this transformation. Learning to Receive Your level of income will never go beyond your level of self-worth. Read that again and take it in. This is everything! Most of us miss genuinely learning how to receive and feeling worthy of receiving, be it a compliment, money, greater visibility, acknowledgment, or an opportunity. The key point is learning how to generate abundance from the inside first.

In this episode, we are exploring the transformative power of visualization, and lucky you, as you'll get to experience a guided visualization. In today's episode, we dive deep into how visualization can help you imagine and manifest your best future self. Welcome to another episode of the You-est You podcast, where we embark on a heartfelt journey of self-discovery and personal growth. In today's solo conversation, we dive deep into the transformative power of finding your inner beauty and what it truly means to be your 'You-est You.' Get ready to be inspired as we explore this empowering topic. Honoring Your You-est You® Do you ever stop to see and feel the incredible beauty within you, my friend? I mean the inexplicable, sacred, awe-inspiring beauty that lives in you and is you? If you're like me, you probably wake up most mornings bypassing this thought as you prepare for the day, pour your coffee, and make sure you've put on clean clothes. For those of you who studied Latin, 'est' means 'are.' So, in essence, your You-est You is all about being who you are, owning your gifts and unique qualities, and allowing yourself to be fully self-expressed as you are. In this episode, I share my realization about the healing power of beauty that changed my perspective (which we know leads to miracles), beliefs, and energy. Tune in to learn how to reconnect with your inner beauty. Listening To Your Soul Don't underestimate the power of listening to your inner voice and what your inner desires are pointing to. To hear what your soul is saying, you must have a healthy dose of self-love, compassion, and trust in yourself and your inner guidance. I share some of the recent stories where I followed my nudges and the external signs and synchronicities to find deeper meaning and direction. Getting Back On The Mat I took a good year and a half off from doing yoga after hurting my back in 2022. I was an avid yogi, and taking this time off was highly challenging for me; however, it was a blessing in disguise as I allowed my relationship with my body to heal and transform how I showed up on the mat. What used to be a high-geared workout with flowing movements in between has become a loving and mindful practice of breath, flow in whatever way my body feels best, and profound gratitude for being able to move. My nervous system is much happier, my back is healing, and most importantly, I have stopped the comparison match and am showing up for my practice of breathing with grace, joy, intention, and union (which is the definition of yoga). I pray that you can get back on the mat, be it yoga or any other area of life where you have needed to reset. Beauty Is A Love Language For years I experienced shame and guilt about my love of beauty. Somehow, growing up in a hyper-intellectual realm, I felt beauty wasn't important, necessary, or valuable. And I'm not just talking about outer appearances, although I love a gorgeous dress or stunning necklace. I mean the beauty found in nature, art, food, writing that flows, dance, synchronicity, and, yes, aesthetics as well. What is often missing is the appreciation of our inner beauty – the beauty of our spirit. I recently had a realization I wanted to share with you. To experience more extraordinary beauty in your life, you have first to be able to spot it in yourself. We are all beautiful because we are all made from the same divine creator. This beauty is timeless, shapeless, and irrelevant to age or external qualities. Remember that your true essence, your 'You-est You,' shines brightest when you love and accept yourself fully.

Meet Sue Ludwig Sue Ludwig is a sought-after speaker, consultant, and writer. A licensed occupational therapist and certified neonatal therapist, she is president and founder of the National Association of Neonatal Therapists (NANT), where she uses a blend of clinical expertise, innovation, and leadership to support the advancement of this specialized field on a global level. Sue is the media expert in neonatal therapy for the American Occupational Therapy Association, a member of the steering committee for the National Coalition for Infant Health, and a medical advisory board member for Hope for HIE. She has received the Laura Edmunds Lectureship Award from UMass Memorial Medical Center, the Individual Contribution to Maternal and Child Health Award from the National Perinatal Association, the Entreleadership Momentum Award from Ramsey Solutions, and the Alumni Professional Achievement Award from Eastern Kentucky University. She has also been named a Graham's Foundation Resilience Honoree. Sue's book Tiny Humans, Big Lessons was published in March of 2022. Today, Sue lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her husband and a few dogs and has two grown children. Lessons From The NICU You will be touched, moved, and empowered by this conversation with Sue. She shares how her years spent caring carefully for tiny humans led to some of her biggest breakthroughs and lessons. Here's the thing, we are all made of energy. In the NICU, it was clear that helping the infants to preserve and manage their energy meant life or death. Sue realized that this is true for adults as well and shared how she applied these lessons to her own life. Managing Your Energy After the devastating experience of her husband losing his job, losing their dream home and money, working two jobs, and finding out her young son was a victim of a crime, she found herself exhausted, overwhelmed, numb, and in fear mode. Let alone falling asleep in the chair getting her haircut; Sue felt like she was barely surviving. She found herself caught on a hamster wheel that she was dying to get off. The lessons she learned in the NICU helped her heal slowly, come home to herself, and shift her energy. Here are the steps that Sue and I discussed that I know can help you if you're finding yourself in survival mode rather than thriving. Become aware and observe where your energy is being wasted versus invested. Realize that you have a choice about where your energy is going. Ask yourself, 'What am I doing that gives me energy versus takes away my energy?' Be honest with yourself. Check your calendar to see where there are energy leaks, in other words, where you are doing things that are not aligned with your energy or priorities. Start to prune anything that is not giving you energy. Like our dear mutual friend, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor says, please take responsibility for the energy you bring into the room. Watch Your Words The words you are saying are more powerful than you might realize. Your words are important and can change the energy in the room and within your relationships. Pay attention to the words you're using, observe what you're saying, and notice how you feel when you say certain things. Sue shared how she often used to say, 'I don't care,' when asked about a preference, be it eating out or doing something. She realized that saying she didn't care didn't powerfully align with how she felt. She started to switch her words and said things like, 'I don't have a preference,' which felt very different to her husband, family, and herself. The Power of Intentions Intentions direct your energy. Sue realized the difference it made to setting an intention before entering the NICU and in her life. We talked about her 5-second powerful process that changed her life. I wanted to share it with you here because it's easy to do and can make all the difference in how you feel and show up daily. Pause Breathe Check your baggage (Sue likes to imagine literally checking your luggage at the door) Set your intention The World Needs Your You-est You™ I truly hope this conversation gave you more permission to pause, rest, stop pushing, and watch and manage your own energy and inner state. Everyone is unique in their own way, and you certainly are here for a reason. Sue reminds us that we would never compare babies in the NICU, and we should take from this lesson and remember to stop comparing ourselves to others. You're unlike anyone else on the planet, and it's time to honor that. Be willing to believe in your own light, gifts, and talents. It's time to be your 'You-est You'!

Meet Laura Belgray Laura Belgray is the founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure, and author of Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F'ing Worst. An award-winning copywriting expert, she helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield), she's seen firsthand that putting "you" into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, sharing your ideas, and happily click your Buy button. In addition to online types, Laura's list of clients and credits includes NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many more. So if you watch TV -- and don't skip the commercials -- you've probably seen her words on air. You can get Tough Titties (and her badass bonuses) at toughtittiesbook.com. Some Swear Words Ok, we did get into some swear words in this episode (all in good fun, of course), so if you have little ones around, be sure to put in your earbuds or take us on a solo walk. Laura and I talked all about giving yourself a permission slip to stop trying so hard, embrace the late bloomer in you and do life YOUR way. This is a book you won't be able to put down. I shared how I couldn't stop reading it and found myself half asleep with pig lard on my face (yes, it's a thing), glasses, and fingertips, as I earmarked almost every page and underlined more than half of the book. Want inspiration to be a little lazy, less worried about what others think, and a reminder that you are perfect the way you are wired? If so, this is a must-listen-to episode. The Unfiltered Truth Laura fearlessly confronts life's obstacles in her book, "Tough Titties" and she shares verrrrry openly about her setbacks, disappointments, and embarrassing moments that shaped her into the resilient, take-no-sh*t from anyone woman she is today. Through her unfiltered storytelling, Laura reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and encourages us to embrace our vulnerabilities as a source of strength. Heck yes, Laura! Unleashing Your Inner Boldness and Baddassery "Tough Titties" will empower you to embrace your inner boldness (and badass self) and take courageous action while stopping placing your self-worth based on outside measures. Whether it's promoting your services, products, work, or self, Laura is all about you being your 'You-est You.' This book is such a powerful and refreshing read that challenges societal norms, embraces vulnerability, and inspires us to live more vulnerably, authentically, resiliently, and boldly. In fact, it's a stubborn refusal of who you're supposed to be so you can be who you want to be.

Meet Lisa Barnett Lisa Barnett is the internationally recognized #1 bestselling author of "Your Soul Has A Plan – Awaken to your life purpose through the Akashic Records," "The Infinite Wisdom of the Akashic Record," and "From Questioning to Knowing – 73 Prayers to Transform Your Life". She is also the Founder of the Akashic Knowing School of Wisdom, where she has taught thousands of students worldwide to access personal Soul wisdom and guidance to transform their life, working directly with their personal Akashic Record Keepers. With more than twenty-five years of experience in spiritual healing, Lisa teaches these simple tools which empower individuals to find greater fulfillment, happiness, abundance, and health. Lisa helps you align with your soul path, understand your soul contracts, and complete your karma and vows. Exploring the Akashic Records Lisa Barnett, Akashic Records expert, and healer, went into detail about the Akashic Records and why you will want to know about them. To begin, the Akashic Records refer to an energetic realm or a cosmic database that is said to store every thought, event, emotion, and experience that has ever occurred throughout time and space. The concept of the Akashic Records can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including the Hindu, Buddhist, and Theosophical traditions. They are believed to be a part of a collective consciousness that transcends individual human existence, providing access to information beyond our ordinary perception and offering an intriguing avenue for exploring the depths of human consciousness and the mysteries of the universe. Unlocking the Mysteries of Cosmic Knowledge The Akashic Records are often described as existing on the ethereal or astral plane, a dimension beyond our physical reality and in non-linear time. In the realm of the Akashic Records, time is not perceived in a linear fashion. Past, present, and future coexist, allowing access to information from any point in time. The Records are said to encompass multiple dimensions, offering insights into various aspects of existence, including personal, planetary, and even cosmic levels. Stay with me here, as there is much more to explain why they are important for you to understand. Your Greater Purpose and The Akashic Records Here's the thing, exploring the Akashic Records can aid you in understanding your life purpose, identifying patterns, and releasing energetic blockages, leading to personal growth and healing. We discussed why Lisa wrote her book, Your Soul Has A Plan, and ways to better understand how you have multiple purposes within your life. The idea is to gain profound spiritual insights, expand your awareness and connection to the divine, and support your soul's evolution. Accessing the collective knowledge of the Akashic Records can provide guidance in helping you navigate challenges, promote unity, and create positive change. Stop Judging Yourself and Start Loving Yourself Here's what Lisa shared that hopefully will help you to understand your greater work and life purpose better. You have your own Akashic library with record keepers. They want you to know how much love they have for you and thank you for all you are doing now to make a positive impact in the world. A reminder: it's not your job to save the world. It is your job to heal and save yourself and do the best you can. Ideally, it's about being more in the flow and letting go of beliefs that aren't yours. Most importantly, stop judging yourself, and don't judge anything you've done. You've come to learn and share with others. Stay in your heart, engage in plenty of self-care, and self-love is crucial. Learn more about Lisa's powerful courses below: Course 1: Access Your Personal Akashic Wisdom In this Course, you will learn to access your own Akashic Record, using a vibrational key in the form of a sacred prayer. This key easily opens the door to Divine Guidance from your own Soul's Library, your Akashic Record. Transform Your Limiting Money Beliefs If you've been in a financial rut forever, the time is NOW to learn some new & some ancient tools to help you move forward on your path of abundance. You will learn how to clear old contracts and vows you've made and I'll use my proven Akashic healing system to help you release as many layers of money blocks as we can.

In this episode, we are exploring the transformative power of visualization, and lucky you, as you'll get to experience a guided visualization. In today's episode, we dive deep into how visualization can help you imagine and manifest your best future self. Get Ready to Visualize Your Highest Potential Before listening to the guided visualization in this episode, be sure to create a conducive environment that allows for greater relaxation, mindfulness, calm, and peace. Keep your journal on hand so you can take notes after the visualization to capture what you noticed, saw, felt, and sensed. I will guide you fully through this process. The Benefits of Visualization Here's the thing, the benefits of visualization in actualizing your dreams and achieving your goals are numerous and impactful. Here are some key benefits: Enhanced Clarity: Visualization helps you gain clarity about your goals by creating a vivid mental image of what you want to achieve. It allows you to define your goals with greater precision and detail. Increased Motivation: When you visualize your goals, you tap into the power of your imagination, which fuels your motivation. The vivid mental images of success stimulate your desire and drive, keeping you focused and committed to taking necessary actions. Improved Focus: Visualization helps sharpen your focus by directing your attention to the desired outcome. It acts as a mental rehearsal, training your brain to filter distractions and concentrate on the actions and strategies needed to achieve your goals. Heightened Confidence: By repeatedly visualizing your future self and successfully achieving your goals, you cultivate a sense of confidence and self-belief. This confidence boosts your overall performance and enables you to overcome obstacles and setbacks along the way. Enhanced Performance: Visualization has been shown to improve performance in various domains, including sports, business, and creative pursuits. By mentally rehearsing the actions and outcomes associated with your goals, you build neural pathways that support actual performance and skill development. Increased Resilience: Visualization fosters resilience by helping you mentally prepare for challenges and setbacks. By visualizing yourself overcoming obstacles, you develop a mindset that embraces adversity and finds solutions, ultimately strengthening your ability to bounce back and stay focused on your greater vision and goals. Change Your Mindset and Mental Picture with Visualization Other benefits include shifting your mental rehearsal and picture of yourself, which affects your belief in what's possible. Visualization cultivates a positive mindset by shifting your focus from potential barriers to envisioning success. It rewires negative thought patterns and reinforces positive beliefs, which can lead to a more optimistic outlook and a greater sense of self-efficacy. It also helps you to align your actions with your intentions. By visualizing yourself in your goal and taking the necessary steps toward your vision, you increase your chances of making choices and decisions that are in line with your desired outcomes. Watch Your Creativity Soar One of the other powerful aspects of visualization is how it stimulates your innate creativity and problem-solving abilities. As you create mental images of your goals, you tap into your creative potential, allowing for innovative ideas and strategies to emerge. Ultimately, visualization accelerates the achievement of your goals and dreams by creating a powerful mental blueprint of success. By consistently visualizing your goals, you program your subconscious mind to work towards their attainment, making them more attainable and likely to manifest in your reality. How cool is that?! And, it's free! These benefits all make visualization a valuable tool in goal setting and achievement, empowering you to unlock your full potential and create the future you desire. Reflect and Unlock Your Best Future Self Visualization is a tool used often in the world of coaching as it can help your client to unlock new dreams, desires, and goals that have been dormant or that have been challenging to access. After this visualization, I encourage you to reflect on your aspirations, values, and passions to identify your ideal future self. Share personal stories or anecdotes that illustrate the transformative power of envisioning a best future self and the miracles you're noticing.

Meet Soul Cole Brandon Coleman, or as he is more commonly referred to as SOUL COLE, is a retired NFL player for the New Orleans Saints. After suffering a career-ending injury in 2018, he transitioned into the health and wellness space, becoming a Certified Health & Wellness Coach. Dealing with physical pain, depression, and anxiety, Coleman found his way back to himself by utilizing tools such as therapy, meditation, yoga, breathwork, and sound healing. Coleman was able to reprogram his body, and SOUL COLE emerged with a different kind of strength from his newly garnered practices. His own personal experiences with injury and loss have given SOUL COLE a unique and profound respect for the value of not only physical but mental and emotional health. Understanding the significance of the tools he received was a catalyst for him achieving a Health and Wellness Coaching Certificate at Georgetown University School of Continuing Study as well as completing the MBSR program from the Mindfulness Center at Brown University, School of Public Health. SOUL COLE is committed to helping others refine and redefine their lives by giving them tools to attain balance, intention, and wellness. Soul Cole is now a Flow Facilitator, Mental Performance Coach, Certified Breath Coach, and Sound Healing Practitioner. He is intense, driven and places high value on faith, family, and morality. To learn more, go to soulcolethebrand.com. You Need To Listen To Your Body Soul was gearing up to put his 20 years of hard work into playing for the NFL until he suffered a traumatic injury to his neck and back. He continued to push himself and ended up with surgery that had him shut down on every level. Not knowing how to handle such trauma and up against the stigma of getting support, Soul found himself in a dark and lonely place that led to depression and despair. It was in his desperation that he says that God got his undivided attention, and he started to address the deeper trauma and grief. One of the biggest learnings that Soul talked about is the importance of listening and trusting your body. Everything is connected - the physical, mental, and emotional aspects are all part of a larger integrative body system. The Power of Surrendering Your Ego In his dark night of the soul, he finally chose to surrender his ego and saw firsthand how he was chasing validation, pride, and acceptance. While his ego was bruised, his spiritual connection began to deepen and grow. He realized that it's ok not to be ok. How powerful is that, my friend? If you are struggling right now, know that it's ok not to feel ok and that getting support can be the most loving thing you can do for yourself. How To Leave a Legacy One of the gifts of Soul's greater healing and awakening starting in 2018 is that it gave him the momentum and habits of self-care and self-realization that he continued to tap into and share during the pandemic. He began to find his voice and was able to make a greater impact and bring diversity to those bringing mindfulness, meditation, and healing to the world. Since his accident, Soul has been nurturing his own connection to himself as well as his faith and spirituality, and that of many others. He's been using his gifts and expertise in breathwork, sound healing, yoga, and coaching to help other individuals, especially in the African American community, come home to themselves.

Meet Shayna and Dana of DayLuna Shayna Cornelius and Dana Stiles, Human Design experts and co-founders of DayLuna, are on a mission to empower the collective towards self-love, personal freedom, and radical authenticity. While they specialize in the realm of self-purpose and conscious entrepreneurship, they also dive deep into topics such as spirituality, parenting, and the new paradigm on their successful podcast, the DayLuna Human Design Podcast, which has generated over 850k downloads worldwide and has featured notable guests including Terri Cole, Debra Silverman, and Sahara Rose. Shayna and Dana feel passionately called to help spread the complex and life-changing science of Human Design to a broader community in a grounded and approachable way. Through their personalized Human Design ritual kits, personalized parenting blueprints, live readings, reader trainings, and video courses, they have curated many different playful yet informative offerings to help support individuals ready to step into their highest potential by honoring their unique energy. Human Design is gaining popularity as our collective evolves toward a new paradigm. Dana and Shayna have worked with over 1000 clients in this space and have been featured on podcasts, including Highest Self, The Lo Life, and Spiritual Shit, to share their expertise. The pair are both living and thriving in California and are the authors of 'Your Human Design.' What is Human Design? In this episode, we'll be talking about human design, a system of ancient modalities combining astrology elements, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and quantum physics to help individuals understand their unique energetic makeup. Human Design synthesizes these systems to give you a detailed energy blueprint to help you navigate your life authentically and align with your purpose. Human Design is a system channeled by a man named Ra Uru Hu in 1987. It combines various mystical and scientific traditions to create a map of each individual's unique energetic blueprint. The system is based on the idea that each person has a specific role to play in the larger cosmic plan and that understanding their individual design can help them fulfill that role more effectively. How does human design work? Human design uses an individual's birth information to calculate their "body graph," a visual representation of their energetic makeup. The body graph includes information about the person's type, strategy, authority, centers, channels, gates, and lines. Each of these elements provides insight into different aspects of the person's personality, strengths, challenges, and purpose.We discussed this in greater depth in this conversation. How Can Human Design Help With Living Your Best Life? Human design can help individuals understand themselves on a deeper level and make decisions that align with their unique nature. It can also help people navigate relationships, career choices, and life transitions more effectively. By recognizing and honoring their individual design, people can live more authentically and fulfill their potential. The 5 Types In Human Design You'll want to fill out the Human Design assessment, which includes your birthdate, time of birth, and city of birth, to determine your unique type. There are 5 main Human Design types that Shayna and Dana explain in greater depth. Manifestor: This is a rare type, as less than 10% of the population are manifestors. A manifestor has a powerful aurora that is all about impact, inspiring others, initiating, and then backing off to let others finish. They are the fire starters. Generator: Generators make up 35% of the population and have an energetic, open and enveloping aura. They propel the world forward and use their creative life force energy to build what they love. They must do what lights them up and respond by using their body, not their mind, to know if something is aligned or not. Manifesting Generator (aka MG or Man-Gen): Manifesting Generators make up 30% of the world population and possess a surplus of creative life force energy to start and follow through with building and creating new things. They have fire starter energy and need variety to use their energy, otherwise they get bored easily. They must also respond by listening to their body response, not their mind. Projector: Projectors are 20% of the population and are here to guide the energy of others. Their aura is to see into the other person and guide them. They can get burned out quickly and need to work less but more efficiently. They highly value sharing insight and guidance and need to wait for an invitation before responding. There has to be energetic consent. Reflector: Reflectors are the rarest type with only 1% of the population falling into this category. Their aura and energy is highly empathetic as they take in energy from everyone and amplify the energy around them. They are like a chameleon and experience everything and nothing. Their sacred purpose is to be a mirror of others and need to show down and wait 28 days before making a decision.
