You-est You®: Redefining Intuition, Spirituality, Consciousness & Healing

Julie is a board-certified master life coach with over ten years of coaching experience and a master's degree in health & wellness coaching from the Maryland University of Integrative Health.

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.

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.

Meet Andrea Nakayama As the host of the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast and the founder of the Functional Nutrition Alliance, Andrea is leading thousands of students and practitioners around the globe in a revolution to offer better solutions to the growing chronic illness epidemic. By highlighting the importance of systems biology, root cause methodology, and therapeutic partnerships, she helps historically underserved individuals reclaim ownership of their health. What is Functional Nutrition? Functional Nutrition was born in the 1990s as a way to fill in the gaps in medicine and healthcare. It was founded on the premise that there are three important components to address with each patient: Embrace the therapeutic partnership - the relationship between a functional medicine expert and the client is symbiotic, and it's crucial to see your client as the expert of their body Root causes - which is about asking, 'Why is this happening?' Systems biology - this is the understanding that everything in the body is connected. Functional medicine and nutrition take the approach that everybody is unique and that everything is connected. Most of the medical field puts different parts of our body into boxes, whereas functional medicine is about a systems approach. The 3 Roots to Healing Your Body Andrea likes to look at healing and caring for your body, especially if you have a chronic or inflammatory illness from a '3 roots, many branches' perspective. Here's an excellent analogy that illustrates this philosophy. Imagine you're in a field, and you see a gorgeous tree. You get closer to the tree and notice that a few of the branches are dry and dying, and some of the leaves are not as healthy. You wouldn't get on a ladder and start to chop off branches; you'd want to go down to the trunk and the root system. Human beings are the same— it's imperative to analyze and address the whole system by looking at the roots, soil, and terrain. The 3 roots to address are as follows: Genes Digestion Inflammation Managing Your Genes Andrea talks about the 4 influences on your gene expression: mindset, movement, environment, and food. All of these can influence turning on or off genes and genetic predispositions, so understanding the importance of each of these is important. For example, mindset means your belief system and how you are processing events, life experiences, and your way of looking at the world. Having a growth mindset, for example, will be helpful in supporting you to look for lessons, deeper meaning, and growth opportunities in every situation. Understanding digestion The 2nd main root is digestion, and the circles of influence within digestion are mechanical, chemical, structural, and microbiol. Digestion is really about growth, metabolism, and repair. Here are a few helpful tips Andrea shares that can enhance your digestion: Be sure to chew your food thoroughly. So many of us eat while being distracted, on the run, or in a rush, and we eat our food without fully or properly chewing before swallowing. Over time, this is just one issue that can lead to digestive problems. With digestion and finding the best plan of eating, it's not about being on a diet or what's 'right,' but more about what's best for your body. The ideal balance is a diet that has fat, fiber, and protein in the correct amounts for each individual body. Stress is one of the culprits that affect both digestion and the immune system. Finding ways to reduce stress will help your overall gut health. Eat the rainbow to keep as much diversity as possible in your diet. Reducing Inflammation The third root is all about inflammation, and the four circles of influence are clear, calm, modulate, and enhance. Aspects of how you're managing stress and your life can affect inflammation, such as having clear boundaries and saying no when you mean it versus being a people pleaser and saying yes even when it's a no. Other ways to reduce inflammation: Be clear about your needs, boundaries, and what works for you. Incorporate mindfulness and calm every day, be it meditation, yoga nidra, a walk in nature, or breathwork. Be mindful of what you're saying to yourself, give yourself enough downtime, and get proper rest. You Can Reclaim Your Health What I love about the power of functional nutrition and what we discussed in this conversation is the sacred focus on the mind, body, and spirit as a dynamic system where everything is connected. Here's hoping you are inspired to slow down, say no when you mean no, eat a color palette, and take time to chew and enjoy your food and life. Here's to your 'You-est You'!

Meet Barbara Huson Barbara Stanny Huson is a renowned author, speaker, and financial expert who has helped thousands of women transform their relationships with money. After struggling with financial challenges in her early years, Barbara made it her life's mission to understand the psychology of money and help women become financially empowered. She has written numerous bestselling books (some of my all-time favorites) on the subject, including Prince Charming Isn't Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money, Overcoming Underearning: A Five-Step Plan to a Richer Life, Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Miracles and Rewire for Wealth. Barbara has become a leading voice in the personal finance world and a champion of women's financial health. She has been featured on major media outlets, including The Today Show, CNN, and The New York Times, and has spoken at conferences and events all over the world. Barbara's unique approach to financial empowerment is grounded in spiritual principles and focuses on helping women overcome limiting beliefs and tap into their inner strength and wisdom. She believes that true wealth is not just about money but also encompasses a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and joy. Sacred Success As one of my personal mentors and teachers, I wanted to bring Barbara back on my show to talk about overcoming fear and a scarcity mindset in a time of economic shifts. If you're ready to take charge of your financial future and become the boss of your money and financial well-being, you won't want to miss this exciting interview on the You-est You podcast. Barbara's wisdom and experience will inspire and motivate you to take action. Fear is an indicator light of success. Success always lies outside our comfort zone. As Joseph Cambell said, "The cave you fear to enter is where your treasure lies." It's crucial to enter the points of pain and fear as this is where you will begin to heal and transform. It's our secrecy and silence that keep us stuck. Focusing on your thoughts and feelings leading to the fears and stories that aren't serving your financial well-being is a good place to start. Barbara defines sacred success as pursuing your soul's purpose for your own bliss and the benefit of others while being richly rewarded. Isn't that SO powerful? A Busy Woman's Guide to Financial Success Barbara interviewed thousands of successful, high-earning women and came to the following realization about women creating success financially: 1) No one is going to save you or do it for you 2) You don't have to do it alone and shouldn't go at it alone (as women, we're wired for connection and naturally relationship-oriented) 3) Find a financial professional to help you These are the habits that are crucial to building financial literacy and wealth: Every day you must read something about money and familiarize yourself with the jargon. Every week have a conversation about money with someone who knows more than you do. Every month save automatically and make it a consistent habit. The Wealth Connection Whether you know it or not, the brain controls our behavior, and our mind shapes our brain. Barbara explains that true financial success is 4 pronged in this way: You must do the outer work of wealth (knowing your numbers, getting help managing your money, learning about money, and increasing your financial literacy). You need to pursue the Inner work of wealth, which includes studying your attitudes, beliefs, and early decisions around money. There's a spiritual and higher realm of wealth, and once you know your purpose and are financially stable, you can be of higher service. The more you have, the more you can give. The deeper work of your mind and brain connection is crucial and often overlooked. This is explained in depth in Barbara's book, Rewire for Wealth. The Three Levels of Financial Wellbeing Barbara shared in clear and easy terms the three levels of financial being. See which one resonates the most and how you might start working on your own financial set point to move to the level of affluence and overflow. The three levels of financial being are: Survival - this is where you do not have enough money and feel like you are barely getting by. Stability - you have just enough money but not a lot of extra or overflow. Affluent - You have more than enough money and are able to experience financial freedom on all levels. We discussed how to create affluence. I thought Barbara's wisdom here was spot on. To have affluence, you need to give up profit as the primary goal. It's actually about greatness. Greatness is the intersection where your deep gladness meets the world's deepest hunger. As Frederick Buechner said, "The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."That is sacred success. Spiritual Guidance With Money A Course In Miracles (ACIM) is a spiritual guide that helped Barbara to heal her relationship with money (and is helping me on my own journey as well). Money gives us choices and freedom. As Dr. Rev. Michael Beckwith says, "You can't be the Light of the world if you can't pay your light bills." I loved Barbara's definition of money (something she almost left out of her book for fear of being too 'woo woo') – "I believe that money is God made visible." This exact quote is what put her book on the map worldwide. Back to ACIM and how this relates. A miracle is defined as a shift in perception. That is what you want to ask for with your money and in general. You're asking to have a shift in how you're perceiving money on all levels. One way to do this is by making spiritual guidance a daily practice to embed this as a new way to view the world and money. I had to ask Barbara about her daily morning practice, and here's what she does: Half an hour of stretching. Listens to uplifting music (for her, it's country!) Reads the lesson of the day from ACIM. Meditation in bed. Imagines how she wants to feel that day to pre-pave her day. Eats breakfast in bed with her hubby. Overcoming Fear We discussed overcoming fears, especially around money. When you feel fear about your money, be sure to stay in the energy of inspiration. Above all else, ask the Universe something like: 'Let me see this differently. Let me see this through your inspiration and eyes.' Remember, wealth comes from you becoming and being your authentic self (what I call your 'You-est You'), which is often conditioned out of you. My friend, get ready to unlock your full financial potential and spiritual connection to money.

Discovering the Truth Behind the 'Woo Woo' Label What does the term 'woo woo' mean to you? Don't hold back, my friend. Be honest here. Do you think being 'woo woo' is wacky!? Is it something you find amusing, trendy, or maybe even unsettling? Let's explore the deeper meaning behind this concept. I admit to having used this term in the past, only to regret belittling something that holds scientific and spiritual truths. In this episode, I offer a fresh perspective that will help you appreciate practices often labeled as 'woo.' I even came up with a new framework to really understand how to see things considered 'woo' from a whole new empowering and life-giving perspective. Join me on this journey of discovery, where you can unlock the potential for enhanced health, wellbeing, and a deeper sense of unity. Understanding Heart Intelligence As you probably know, I love the research and work done at the HeartMath Institute. A portion of all proceeds from my coach certification program goes to HeartMath, and I regularly donate to their organization because I believe in their discoveries and work…which some might consider 'woo woo.' Let me share with you one of the recent studies shared from the HeartMath Institute that will illustrate how important it is not to dismiss energy, beliefs, and things that could be considered 'woo.' A lot of research has been done to uncover a remarkable relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and attitudes and the effects they have on our own physical DNA. As you might already know after listening to my interview with Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of Biology of Belief, it turns out that our genes are changeable and not fixed. According to research done through the HeartMath Institute, heart-centered positive emotions like compassion, love, gratitude, joy, and care can all improve our immune function, suppress inflammation and heal our nervous system. And get this, the practice of heart coherence (which has to do with your heart rate variability or HRV) and setting intentions (see my past interview with Lynne McTaggart about the power of intentions) was found to create the most significant impact on the physical aspects of DNA strands. What this means is that self-empowered healing is a real thing. It is backed by science and certainly NOT 'woo woo.' The Wisdom Of Oneness Rather than focus on how we're different, my new framework for WOO: the Wisdom Of Oneness honors traditions, spiritual truths, and science that shows how we're all connected. To learn more about the power of our oneness, I highly recommend reading the book The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden, who has been a guest three times on this show. My question to you is, how might you find that oneness within yourself?
