The You-est You® Podcast

Meet Cheryl Bailey Cheryl Bailey is the founder of Grit and Grace Meditation. She recently became a Certified Life Designer® Coach in Julie Reisler's certification program. Cheryl's passion for life coaching began years ago when she personally worked through some of the most tumultuous times in her life. She realized that the journey of life doesn't come with a roadmap, and we all experience twists and turns, highs and lows, and there is never a perfect outcome. The work that they did together was life-altering, and she knew one day, she wanted to be able to hold space and co-create with other women on that same level. Today, Cheryl is a Certified Life Designer Coach, 200 Hour RYT, 200 Hour Certified Mindfulness Meditation Instructor, Certified Conscious Sound Practitioner, a 40- hour Certified Yoga Nidra Instructor, a Certified Hibiscus Moon Crystal Practitioner, and an Usui Level II Reiki Practitioner. Cheryl also co-facilitates transformational Self-Love Women's Retreats in Sedona and Costa Rica. Cheryl lives with her husband in magical Sedona. You can learn more about Cheryl by visiting gritandgracemeditation.com. An Unlikely Healing Path After a string of tragedies, Cheryl was taught that control was merely an illusion. Her first marriage of 17 years ended in a nasty divorce. Later, when she found love again, she lost her second husband to colon cancer. And within a few months of his passing, Hurricane Sandy rendered her homeless. Life truly pulled the rug out from under her. She fought to keep going under the weight of constant outer and inner turmoil. She knew there was another way to live, but that didn't happen until she began to fully surrender to something greater than herself. It was through various holistic and wellness practices that she found grace for herself. She realized that she didn't need to strive for perfection, and it was okay to give herself the time and space to just "be." She reconnected with her higher power and trusted God to guide her through all of life's ups and downs and ins and outs. This is when a sense of inner peace and self-awareness blossomed within, and where she found her true calling within sound healing, meditation and mindfulness, yoga, and spiritual coaching. The Healing Power of Being a Spiritual Coach Cheryl wanted to make a bigger impact by learning how to help guide women back to their truest selves and deeper desires. She knew doing this would require getting the training and acquiring the skills to support women in a bigger way. In the Life Designer® Coach Certification program, she learned how to go from her head to her heart and help others do the same. This process of letting go of the linear, left brain into what's possible in the creative right brain helped Cheryl to let go of her own perfectionistic tendencies and help others through her coaching skills. Much of coaching is learning how to help others to let their ego get out of the way, and of course, practicing the coaching competencies helped Cheryl to do this from within. Today, Cheryl coaches clients from all backgrounds and infuses her healing arts background and life design coaching in her retreats and programs. Self-love Isn't Selfish You can not give from an empty cup. Cheryl learned the hard way as a recovering perfectionist that the most loving thing you can do is to fill yourself up and take exquisite loving care of your mind and body. Sometimes that means doing things that others might not like. This is where grit, grace, and compassion come in. You must find the inner strength to follow what's true for you, regardless of what others think. We must remove the blinders and refuel ourselves with love to see and feel the Divine. The Most Important Question To Ask Yourself Cheryl, like many of us, wasn't taught to herself what she really wanted. Only after tragedy and deep soul searching did she start to ask the important question, 'Who am I, really?' What followed was the question, 'How can I be of service?'. Listening more deeply to her heart, she realized her desire was to share her gifts with others. So, after receiving the signs from the Universe, she left her successful career in higher education to pursue a life she was truly passionate about. After being inspired by her own unexpected challenges and experiences, she realized her journey was indeed her destination. Be sure to ask yourself regularly, 'Who am I, really, and how can I be of maximum service?' Get quiet, listen to your inner guidance, and be prepared to take courageous action toward your vision.

How To Channel Your Spiritual Gifts Here's the thing, whether or not you're aware of it, you are always channeling something. Remember, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Think of yourself as a radio station with a dial. The question really is, from what frequency or radio station are you channeling? If you want to channel your spiritual gifts and experience more joy and freedom, you must start tuning your inner frequency and radio dial to the emotional state of joy and freedom. We can't emit what we don't feel. Emotions are our guidance and will always tell you where you vibrate and what radio station you're tuned into. If you want to channel wisdom from the higher realms of greater intelligence and love, you'll want to focus your energy on experiencing this kind of unconditional love for yourself and learn to quiet your mind. It all comes down to how you feel and how you prioritize how you feel, as well as having a peaceful mind. I've discussed this in many of my past interviews with experts like Alan Cohen, Neale Donald Walsh, Marci Shimoff, and Matt Kahn. You might ask yourself how you prioritize self-care and spiritual connection (in whatever way that resonates for you) and ways to increase time for quiet reflection, mindfulness, and being heart-centered with yourself. The Powerful Study That Proves Spiritual Connection I shared a story in the second year of my graduate program at Maryland University of Integrative Health, where my professor conducted a study that is still glowing my mind. After we came back from our lunch break, she had us taste red and orange peppers from two different plates. They looked the same but tasted quite different. The first plate, labeled A, tasted bitter and sour. The second plate, labeled B, tasted sweet and delicious. When asked why we thought there was such a difference, students shouted out all kinds of answers. "The second plate are organic peppers," "The sweeter peppers are from a local farm," and "The sour peppers are GMO from a standard grocery store." Our teacher answered 'no' to every possible reason, which stumped my classmates and me. Then she pulled up a slide that forever changed my life. She shared Dr. Masaru Emoto's studies and findings from his book, 'Hidden Messages From Water'. Dr. Emoto spent years studying the implications of consciousness on the molecular structure of water. In short, he proved that the molecules change in water depending on your energy, consciousness, and way of speaking to the water. When he yelled and screamed profanity at the water, he could see after studying the frozen sample that it looked like jagged edges. However, when he was loving, kind, and encouraging to the water, he saw under the microscope how the water sample looked like a snowflake or beautiful symmetrical pattern. Our professor had done something similar. She had yelled and screamed at one plate of peppers (sample A) and had lovingly and kindly spoken to the other plate of peppers (sample B). Without knowing any of this beforehand, every single one of us could taste the difference between her angry versus loving words. We had experienced what Dr. Emoto showed throughout his water studies. If you think this sounds too 'Woo-Woo', go read the book 'Hidden Messages of Water' or google Dr. Emoto's work. It will glow your mind too. How Spirituality Can Heal The World Spirituality is the connection to all things and the realization of our oneness. It transcends religion, race, sexual orientation, and gender. Spirituality is the golden thread that links every living being (human, animal, plant) together regardless of views, beliefs, or life experiences. When you remember and connect to the interconnectedness and unique divine aspect of yourself (and everyone), you can change your life view from fear and disconnection to appreciation, forgiveness, love, and kindness. As each of us aims to heal our own mind of fear and lack and reclaim our divine birthright of goodness and light, we connect more deeply to our higher self, or the soul self, that is always with you in the past, present, and future, guiding you to what's for your best. This spiritual connection to your higher self allows you to become your 'You-est You'. Imagine a world full of human beings living and acting from a deeper spiritual connectedness about compassion, understanding, love, hope, and what is possible in healing. We all have the ability to start this healing right now, and it starts with you and me. Why You Should Get A Spiritual Coaching Certification I didn't realize it, but when I worked with a coach years ago who helped me change my life trajectory, I not only transformed my thoughts and beliefs, but also my connection to God. This profound spiritual experience was just the beginning of what would continue to grow through the modality of coaching. I have seen firsthand the inherent power of coaching and how this career is truly about helping people to connect to their divinity and higher self. When trained properly, you'll learn how to quickly see others' gifts, skills, and strengths without even intending to. The biggest gift in getting a spiritual coaching certification is the transformation of your relationship with yourself. Suppose you're on the fence or have considered getting a coaching certification to learn the modality and framework and to heal your relationship with yourself. In that case, I encourage you to throw your hat over the fence and go for it. You'll never be the same person again, and your future self will thank you. Doors are open until March 10th, and you can enroll now at juliereisler.com/certification. Looking To Help Others Know Who They Are and Design Their Best Life?

Meet Rev. Frances Fayden Rev. Frances Fayden is an Interfaith Minister, Author, Intuitive Energy Coach for Conscious Women Entrepreneurs, and the Magnify Your Miracles podcast host. A master intuitive healer and metaphysical coach, Frances is fluent in the language of the human energy field known as the chakra system and can quickly translate energetic information to help her clients heal & transform. In 2012, Frances had a profound encounter with Mother Mary, which changed the direction of her life and awakened her life's purpose. She has been channeling messages from Mother Mary ever since. She loves working with Highly Sensitive Souls who have a big vision and mission yet are seeking validation and personal guidance with their next steps. Frances says, "By incorporating Mother Mary's guidance along with feedback from your own energy field, and then applying the Universal Laws of Manifestation, miracles can occur." She is the author of the books Meditation is Friendship with God and How to Recognize God. Her passion is connecting women to the unconditional love of the Divine and then teaching them how to magnify that connection, which is the key to Magnifying Your Miracles. Oh, my friend, I hope you take the time to listen to this whole conversation as energy is part of everything in your life. And I mean everything. You and I are made up of energy. Our thoughts, actions, feelings, emotions, and beliefs are all made of energy. Manifestation is really the divine process of taking thoughts, emotions, and beliefs (as you know, all energy) and creating a physical, tangible, material experience or reality (all energy). Trusting Your Energy First and foremost, you need to learn to trust your energy. This is not as easy as it sounds since so many of us are taught to override our feelings and intuition so that we can fit in, please others, or do the 'right thing.' We learn early on to dismiss the messages from our own energy and body. Being a good steward of your energy and caring for yourself is not 'woo-woo.' It's practical and can keep you healthy, vibrant, and grounded. It all starts with taking responsibility for your energy and the energy you are bringing into all aspects of your life. Taking Care of Your Energy Part of taking care of your energy is doing loving things for yourself, especially your body. You'll want to think about how you want to feel. If you're not sure what to do to take care of your energy, start with these three steps: Keep it simple - start with your body and ask yourself the following questions: 'How does this experience, person, or situation make me feel? Do I feel better or worse? Journal and reflect on what you notice when you ask yourself these questions. Check in with yourself on an ongoing basis and ask yourself, 'How did that feel?' You'll soon start to notice patterns. Your Chakras and Your Energy Think of your chakras (in Sanskrit, this is translated as your 'energy wheels') as little databases. They are always recording information and storing what happened. This database can easily go offline (especially in our western, faced-paced society) when you feel angry, overwhelmed, stressed, or unsafe. One of the best ways to restore your life force energy and chakras is through forgiveness and making sure you feel safe (and be sure to put yourself on the top of the list of people to forgive). We Could All Lighten Up I don't know about you, but I easily get so serious about life. Rev. Frances talks all about the importance of lightening up. Bring in the element of fun and joy. An example might be pulling oracle cards for the new and full moon. Notice if these activities fill your bucket and nourish you; if so, keep adding energizing and revitalizing practices. Why Your Energy Matters The bottom line is that you want to make sure your energy rejuvenates you, not depletes you. This means keen attention and presence to how you're feeling. All is in your energy, and you're affected so much more than you might realize. Be sure to work on your level of presence and mindful awareness so you can begin to tune in and notice your energy and how to keep it healthy and clear. One of my favorite takeaways: Our spiritual path is learning how to honor our energy. If you take care of your energy, your energy will take care of you. To learn more about Rev.

Meet Gina Casbarro Gina Casbarro is a certified Life Designer® coach and feng shui expert who empowers her clients to blaze their own paths and design the life and space of their dreams. Gina's passion for coaching began as a manager at lululemon. She spent more than eight years there, coaching hundreds of people to develop as leaders and crush their goals. Her love of nature, symbolism, and intuition led her to feng shui. She now weaves these passions together to support her clients in aligning their mindset, lifestyle, and their environment with their truest goals and values. Gina also hosts the podcast "Follow your Spark," which she began on a year-long road trip around the USA and beyond, interviewing people all over the world on what it looks like to create a life you love. With all of her incredible coaching and leadership experience, Gina is also the lead Mentor Coach for my Life Designer® Coach Academy certification program. Pursuing Your Dream Gina worked as a leader in a corporate setting that she liked but wasn't quite aligned with her greater passions and purpose. She became a Feng Shui expert and got into coaching with a well-known personal development program, and decided to start her business on the side to help others design their space to match their vision and values. Redefining Success Like many of us, Gina used to struggle with mind drama that caused much suffering and a feeling of discontent and worry. Gina realized the importance of personal growth in working through these inner beliefs. She started to think and act in new ways that led to more joy, peace, and inner calm. We talked about redefining success from mere stats, numbers, dollars, and followers or needing outside forces to validate you to an inherent sense of value no matter what financial number you bring in or how many clients you have. I love this new definition and hope it inspires you, my friend. Why Become A Coach While Gina had leadership skills and had coached within Lululemon and Landmark education (a large personal development program where we had met and I had coached Gina), she could feel that something was missing. Gina wanted to know the exact tools, methodology, framework, and techniques to help others get out of their own way and to find greater joy in life. Gina joined the Life Designer® Coach Academy in 2020 and became a certified life coach within my program. I could see how these classes and the community were helping her to dig deeper into her own intuition and trust herself. Now fully on her own as a Life Designer® and Feng Shui expert, Gina is using her skills and heart to help others, coach, teach and mentor the students in the upcoming cohort of my life coach certification program. Owning Your Worthiness We also talked a lot about worthiness and money blocks, as it relates to stepping into a greater identity and making a larger impact. Like any muscle, worthiness is an important muscle to build. It's not that you need to do anything to become worthy, it's about building the muscle to remember and acknowledge your worthiness. This has taken Gina time, and she shares a few questions to ask yourself that can flip the script and remind you of your inherent worthiness and value. Here are a few of the questions we discussed: Why am I capable of doing this? What's the value I bring here? Why is my work so valuable? Overcoming Money Blocks Unlike other professions, coaching is one that still operates in a bit of a 'wild west' realm. There is a huge discrepancy between what coaches charge and make. The one thing that comes up for many coaches is blocks around money and charging for services, especially if this feels like something you'd do for free because you love it so much. Side note, if you feel like this is something you'd do for free, that is a great indication that you're meant to coach and help others. Gina shared that what has helped her is creating offerings that cause the least amount of drama in her life and feel good in her body and energy. It's All About This… Most importantly is that you learn to trust that you're where you're meant to be. Period. Where you are can be full of fertilizer for where you want to be.

Meet Ashley Bernardi Ashley Bernardi is the founder of powerhouse media relations firm Nardi Media, where she works with corporations, brands, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits to obtain high-profile placements in broadcast, print, and online media. Trained as a journalist at CBS News, nationally syndicated program energyNOW! on Bloomberg, and Washington Post Live, she has a natural ear for a story and a journalist's passion for research. The traumatic death of her father at a young age and diagnosis of Lyme Disease and postpartum depression after the birth of her third child deepened her passion for health, wellness, and spirituality and taught her how to access her own authentic power to heal her life. She is a certified Life Designer®, and received her certificate in The Science of Well-Being from Yale University. Ashley, the oldest child in a proud military family, was born in Schweinfurt, Germany, and has lived and worked in New York City and Washington, D.C. She is the author of the award-winning book Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission to Feel. Join in for a powerful conversation with my very dear friend, Ashley Bernardi, who also happens to be a genius at publicity and life design coaching. Ashley shares very vulnerably about her own traumatic experience of her father having a heart attack in front of her family at age 11 and how it took years to fully process her emotions and heal from the inside out. Ashley's motivation today is to help as many individuals as possible to feel, heal and reclaim their voice and authentic power through speaking and sharing your message. This is a must-listen if you are still processing past trauma or want support to process your emotions. The Body Remembers Trauma Ashley didn't realize how her trauma impacted her sense of self and health. As a young girl, she loved to dance, be joyful, believed in magic, and, most importantly, herself. After the tragic loss of her father, she was told to act like all was normal and go back to her life as though nothing had happened. She never gave herself permission to grieve and kept the trauma buried deep within. Ashley numbed out by drinking and throwing herself into work and coped through people pleasing. It wasn't until years later, when she was knocked on her butt with a major health crisis, that she saw the connection between her body and holding on to the trauma. Turning A Health Crisis Into a Gift After seeing 30 doctors from experiencing excruciating deterioration and pain, Ashley was finally referred to a physician who was able to diagnose her with Lyme disease. She started crawling back to herself and, for the first time, had the time and space to feel her feelings. This is when the healing happened, and she realized the power of processing her emotions and tapping into her authentic inner power and intuition. A reminder to you, my friend, you can get unshackled from your fear of feeling challenging emotions and heal whatever trauma is in your past! Your Authentic Power is Your Intuition Trust is the key. It's about learning to trust yourself, your body, and your intuition. Since her journey back to full health, Ashley has focused on how to reclaim her voice and help others to do so too. One of my favorite quotes was, 'When I pay attention to my intuition, magic happens.' Ashley has since reclaimed her magic and is passionate about being a support to anyone who wants to reconnect to their own inner magic. Ok, and we did get a little (what you might call) 'woo.' One tool that has helped Ashley build a relationship with her father across the veil is through sacred writing. This is where you use journaling to talk to your passed loved ones by asking a question and inviting them to connect in. You then allow yourself to write without editing whatever comes up on the page. Today, Ashley has a beautiful relationship with her father, even though he is on the other side and not here physically. Reclaiming Your Voice as a Life Coach In addition to being an award-winning journalist and publicity maven, Ashley went back to train as a life design coach in my Life Designer® Coach Academy, where she discovered her soul's great calling. Today, Ashley is all about helping you to get unstuck to find your voice and then share it with the world through the media and other platforms.

Meet Kathy Batista Kathy Batista is the go-to coach for midlife women. She believes midlife isn't just based on age – it's a phase of life and can be your best one yet! By tapping into your values and strengths, you can take aligned action to create purpose and joy, leading to that, often missing, sense of fulfillment. Now is your time! Having navigated midlife changes and shifts, Kathy offers guidance and compassion to women asking themselves, "Is this it?" or "What's next?". She enjoys sharing the tools of her growth with her clients and peers. With certifications in Life Designer Coaching, Thought Coaching, Quantum Time Technique, and Mindfulness Instruction, Kathy coaches women to discover their midlife magic through conscious healing and self-discovery. A Career Change at 40 Most of us are not raised in a society that values or gets excited about midlife. What started as a time in Kathy's mid 30's where she felt disconnected, unhappy, and lost ended up being one of the biggest gifts and wake-up calls. Maybe you can relate? Kathy, a mom of 4 boys, felt like she was walking on one of those walking ramps at the airport that wouldn't stop. She felt a lack of joy and excitement; worse off, she felt incredible shame and guilt for feeling this way when nothing was "wrong." Kathy was using and abusing alcohol, food, and shopping, all the while trying to fill a void that can't be filled with stuff. She realized she was lonely and despondent and found herself asking a big question that woke her up. Once becoming aware of her negative beliefs and stories, she realized that these could be the best years of her life. That midlife could be magical and a blessing, especially if ushered in an empowering and energizing way. The Big Question That Can Lead to Your Breakthrough The question that Kathy sat with was, 'Is this it?' It's a question I think most of us at some point ponder and stay up at night wondering about. It's often the precursor to a wake-up call that, if treated with care, compassion, and sacred attention, can lead to a transformative pivot. This is what happened for Kathy. She realized in working with coaches and healers that there was nothing wrong, she had misplaced her soul in life, and it was time to reclaim it. Have you felt like you've misplaced your soul? Or perhaps, it feels like your greater soul purpose feels far away, murky and unclear? If so, my friend, read on and be sure to listen to this entire interview. How Life Coaching Changed Kathy's Life Kathy realized that she wanted to connect more deeply to her soul's purpose, passion, and meaning, and in wanting to explore this further, she found a coach who helped her to finally see her soul. I love what Kathy said about coaching: "It's someone who holds a flashlight for you so you can see into your soul." Kathy started to get curious about how her deeper wisdom could help guide her both in her own life and in helping other women find meaning. She realized that becoming a certified life coach would be a gift for herself and to all those she's here to serve. Realizing the power of coaching, both in being coached and becoming one, helped Kathy to let go of the excess alcohol, food, and shopping. She found what she had been looking for all along; her own inner wisdom -- which is what we call your 'You-est You'. Why You Must Trust Your Intuition Trusting your intuition can take massive courage, patience, and practice. Kathy talked about how her intuition has now become her best friend. Kathy joined the Life Designer® Coach Academy certification program because of the sacred coach structure that focused on intuition and trusting your heart intelligence. What she's realized is that she can trust herself fully and that when you trust yourself at the deepest left, you are in flow with the Universe and open to being led in ways that are beyond your wildest imagination. Kathy leads with her intuition and has helped many to access and have faith in their inner guidance. My favorite takeaways: Make your inner wisdom your bestie! Befriend your intuition and listen carefully to her. Nothing is missing; you have just misplaced your connection to your soul and higher self. She is always with you whenever you are ready. Coaching is holding a flashlight up for someone else so they can see their soul and truest self.

The Surprising Power of Coaching This is part one of a four-part series to share with you tools, techniques, practices, and ways that have helped me be and align with my 'Me-est Me', which will hopefully help you become your 'You-est You'. So much changed in my life (thankfully, for the better) after doing the deep, spiritual, soulful work on myself. While books are great, I needed support from trained professionals who could tell when I was stuck in an old story, shitty belief pattern, or just plain ol' fear. After working with a life coach in 2010, I returned to school to get my master's degree in health and wellness coaching because I saw and experienced the healing effects (mind, body, spirit, and emotional healing) firsthand through this modality. Here, I'm sharing the life-giving and life-changing steps I now use with hundreds of clients and students worldwide. 6 Easy Steps To Become A Life Coach The 6 easy steps come from my proprietary SACRED coach approach, which I teach in great detail in my Life Design Coach certification program. Each letter stands for an integral step that can help you to be your best self: The 6 SACRED Steps: S - is about creating sacred safe space for yourself (and others) A - means actively listening with intention and presence, and awareness. C - this is about conscious communication and being sure that you are aware, awake, and non-reactive in your communication. R - is for reflection and learning how to hone in on what's really important to you and to others. E - is about engaging in powerful questions to begin looking for new possibilities and opportunities. D - is all about designing your dreams and goals with clear actions. Listen in with your inner ear, my friend, and when you feel a resonance or connection to something I'm sharing, I invite you to explore the concept or idea further to see if it might be just what your soul is looking for next. One of the most important catalysts for real change is the power of questions and curiosity. Here are some of my favorite life-changing questions I share in this episode to ask yourself to shift your perspective, beliefs, thoughts, and life: 1) How is this happening for my best and highest good? 2) What might be the biggest learning in this experience? 3) What is the most loving thing I can do right now? As always, take what you like and leave the rest. :) Oh, and if you'd like a free copy of my Life Coach's Toolset --- a powerful guide to help you design your best life and be your 'You-est You', get your copy at juliereisler.com/toolset.

Meet Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., cell biologist and lecturer, is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Bruce was on the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine faculty and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University. He is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, The Honeymoon Effect, and co-author with Steve Bhaerman of Spontaneous Evolution. Bruce received the 2009 prestigious Goi Peace Award (Japan) for his scientific contribution to world harmony. For more information, visit www.brucelipton.com. This is one of the most informative and transformative conversations I've had yet. You'll want to make a little extra time to listen to the full interview with Bruce. I tried breaking down many of the concepts and ideas he discussed. My intention is for you to realize that you have the knowledge and understanding of what's going on during this pandemic and that you have much more sovereignty, choice, and well-being accessible to you than perhaps realized. The conversation started with Bruce sharing that the biggest problem we face today in our world is another mass extinction. Of the past five world extinctions, all were created by natural events. The last one was 66 million years ago when a comet hit the earth and up-leveled the web of life, hence the extinction of the dinosaurs. This is the first time a massive extinction is at the hands of human behavior, harming and affecting the web of life. There are many examples of this and signs on the wall, including overfishing and polluting the water, which has left us with 90% fewer fish in the ocean. In 2048 there will be no fish. Our human civilization is responsible for this loss, and it's a major wake-up call. He talked about returning to the behavior of indigenous people --- being gardeners in the garden, not taking over the garden. We can change these behaviors, and I will describe ways of doing so further in the show notes. Dr. Lipton explained that there are two choices to focus on: 1. Fear, which will compromise your health, or 2. Ask yourself, what are we building to create something better? All energy is life. Are you going to waste your energy on fear or use it in a life-giving way to see what you can do to sustain yourself and the future? There are also two mechanisms in play, especially when there's a biological imperative or drive to survive when our lives are threatened. You will go into one of two protection modes: the external (adrenals), the fight/flight state, or the internal (immune system), which shuts down when under a lot of stress to save energy. Dr. Lipton helped to discover what is now called Epigenetics, which is the study of our control over genes. Epigenetics shows that less than 1% of all disease comes from genes. In other words, disease comes from stress. Today in the U.S., over 60% of the population has one chronic disease (which means almost all cases are stress-related), and 40% have two or more chronic diseases. These numbers are astounding, and when you realize how much you can do to alleviate stress and the correlation between stress and illness, it's difficult not to want to spring into action. It's also much more crucial to take exceptional care of yourself, especially during a pandemic. This means not eating industrial-farmed food, taking your supplements and vitamins, moving regularly, stopping watching the news and TV that puts you into a stress response, and connecting with others. Pay attention to your well-being, self-care, and letting go of stress in your life, as stress is the main cause of all illnesses. Being in community is a powerful healing agent...we were not meant to be isolated, which is so much of the issue with this pandemic and being quarantined. Another crucial component to avoiding illness is the importance of harmony with your body and changing your consciousness. You might be wondering how the heck to change your consciousness. Dr. Lipton breaks it down and gives some excellent resources and ways to do this. The most important aspect is understanding that we operate with our conscious and subconscious minds. To change your consciousness, you have to rewrite your programming and understand that you exist with two different minds: your conscious (prefrontal cortex), which is the creative, positive thinking aspect of ourselves, and the subconscious, which is just like a computer database and is highly imaginative and responds to hypnosis (theta brain waves). Most people don't know that 95% of your day is your subconscious on autopilot versus 5% is your conscious thinking mind, which has all the good wishes for you but is a minimal part of your day. The programming of our subconscious mind happens from birth to age seven. You will literally receive your programming from observing those around you; your parents, caretakers, family, community, teachers, etc. Because most programming is disempowering, changing your subconscious program is the real key to changing consciousness. Ways to change your subconscious programming: Hypnosis - play a positive and affirming program at night and allow yourself to fall asleep listening so that it can penetrate your theta brain waves. Repetition - Keep saying affirmations of what you desire, such as "I am happy", "I am confident", or "I am prosperous," until you eventually program your subconscious to believe it. Energy Psychology - Check out www.brucelipton.com for many ways to use these techniques. Ultimately, love is what stops your programming, and it gets you out of thinking. To save the world, you must start with yourself and your consciousness and add more heart energy to all you do.

Meet Terri Cole Terri Cole is a licensed psychotherapist, global relationship and empowerment expert, and the author of Boundary Boss-The Essential Guide to Talk True, Be Seen, and (Finally) Live Free. For over two decades, Terri has worked with many clients, including stay-at-home moms, celebrities, and Fortune 500 CEOs. She has a gift for making complex psychological concepts accessible and actionable so that clients and students achieve sustainable change. She inspires over 450,000 people weekly through her blog, social media platform, signature courses, and her popular podcast, The Terri Cole Show. Terri started out as head of a successful talent agency working with celebrities and high-profile leaders, yet felt something was missing. She kept seeking to feel happy and content but never quite landed there. Instead, Terri decided to pursue a new career by returning to school to become a psychotherapist. She realized that she was going through life not realizing how crucial boundaries are for a fulfilling life that works or that she was a 'high functioning co-dependent'. We unpacked both of these, how they're intertwined, and shared why you need to get yourself on the boundary bus and how you might also be a high-functioning co-dependent needing a tune-up. Tune in to learn more! What Are Real Boundaries First off, let's agree to put away any judgment or shame here. I've personally struggled in my own life with setting boundaries and high-functioning co-dependency, and the first step is always awareness. We'll shine the light here on what you might be doing that's hurting your happiness so you can become more aware. Terri defines boundaries as 'your own rules of engagement where you know what's ok and not ok for you. You are clear on your preferences, limits, and deal breakers and communicate them transparently with others. To be masterful and setting and keep boundaries, you've got to be cognizant of what they are, how to make sure others know them, and courageous enough to say something when and if they are broken. Most of us are indoctrinated to be 'good girls' and to be self-abandoning co-dependents, especially when it comes to boundaries. There are all kinds of reasons we're not fluent in boundaries. What matters is to learn how to stop self-abandonment. Terri shared it like this -- 'I am the storm, and my life is the boat.' Can you relate to any of this? I know I can! A New Kind of Co-Dependent Being co-dependent means being overly invested in the feeling state, outcomes, and situations of people in our life to the detriment of our own well-being (and on all levels) and not feeling we can ask for what we want. It is actually a form of control and typically affects the over-doers, over-achievers, and over-feelers. Many of us are what Terri calls High Functioning Co-dependents, meaning we're doing well in life, achieving our goals, and seeming to succeed. However, if you feel put upon, burned out, and resentful often, you probably are also an HFC. The good news is you can change, starting with awareness and forgiveness of yourself. There are things you can do to change this habit patterning that can affect your mindset, happiness, and health. Read on to hear what you can do to change for good. Here's How To Stop Being Co-Dependent These are the strategies you'll want to start implementing (I know it's uncomfortable at first) to create solid boundaries and kick the HFC habit. Learn to say no, and mean it. No is an answer in itself and is crucial to setting good boundaries. Stay on your side of the street and stop taking the other person's emotional temperature. Become a great listener and ask excellent questions. This will help you avoid being triggered or controlling and be curious. Get into mindfulness and meditation (daily) and start building your ability to pause and take the time you need to assess and react how you most desire. This means learning to tolerate discomfort but remember that you are not fragile. You have what it takes to develop the skills and behaviors to have great boundaries. The most loving thing you can do is to lovingly let people be autonomous and have full sovereignty in their life and take responsibility for yourself.

Meet the AstroTwins Ophira and Tali Edut (The AstroTwins) are bestselling authors, speakers, and astrology experts. The identical twin sisters are the co-founders of the global brand Astrostyle, which reaches millions of loyal readers worldwide. Since 2009, they've been ELLE magazine's in-house astrology columnists and published 13 books. Major media, including The New York Times, have featured the twins who have appeared on-air for Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Sirius XM. In August 2022, The AstroTwins debuted as the astrologers and matchmakers of Amazon Prime's "Cosmic Love," the first streaming reality dating show to use astrology. Ophira and Tali have done workshops, talks, and training for Nike, Conde Nast, The Sill, and Michael Kors and at universities nationwide. They've collaborated with major brands, including Coach, HBO Max, and Valspar. The sisters have read charts for celebrities including Beyoncé, Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys. You can follow them at @astrotwins and www.astrostyle.com. What We're Leaving Behind in 2022 The Astrotwins coined 2022 as "The Year of the New Abnormal". We're letting go of pushing, forcing, and making things happen. We've just ended a Tiger year that made for unpredictable energy. We're wrapping up a cycle where Saturn moved from Capricorn into Aquarius, which is about restriction with socializing, think 'social distancing', and into a new cycle where Saturn is moving into Pisces. This shift into Pisces will be about taking mental and emotional health more seriously and pushing the boundaries of things like psychedelics and other kinds of drugs. What's Coming Ahead In 2023 This is the year of 'What If?' It's like the planet is getting one big IOS update. Rather than getting overwhelmed with choices, think about 'What If?' as a way to elevate, innovate and see new possibilities. Minding your mind and choosing how you see your life and the world will be essential. What will help you most is to remember to regulate your emotions by pausing, infusing compassion, and choosing how you want to respond. There will continue to be more paradoxes this coming year, and you get to decide how you will interpret life's events. Jupiter is in Aries until May 16th, and then it will go into Taurus, which will be good for financial means and the economy. This year is also a #7 year, which is about science meeting spirituality and making the invisible visible. Try to look at things from as many angles as possible. 2023 will also be a year for relationships to become more enjoyable and to put the drama to bed (Hallelujah to that)! Check out the AstroTwin's book 'Super Couple' to learn more about the impact of astrology on relationships, and more specifically, on your own relationships. 2023: An Overview Of The 12 Astrological Signs Aries: The focus was on gaining your independence, but now it's on security and making money through your passions and talents Taurus: You wanted more support and are now looking for more independence and freedom. The key is to release old beliefs and what doesn't serve you. Gemini: You were seeking more community and social structures, yet this year you are eager to have more solitude, time for reflection, and deep relationships Cancer: Achievement was your main focus; you felt 'large and in charge'. This year your focus is on teamwork and seeing that you can delegate and get out of your shell. Leo: Adventure was important, as was trying new things, yet this year you are seeking more structure, and you'll be more career driven. Virgo: Connection was important, as well as getting comfortable saying no. This year will be about using your boundaries as a way to experience more freedom and openness to experiment and travel. Libra: Partnership and evolution were your main focus last year, while this year will be about finding independence within your relationships and claiming your sovereignty in partnership. Expect to be more comfortable being vulnerable as well. Scorpio: Last year was about getting your routines in order and doing some deep soul-searching, whereas this year will be focused on partnerships and letting others in. Sagittarius: This past year was about the dichotomy of being a homebody and wanting to have fun and bring in glamor. This year you will be out in the world, ready to show your colors, be fully self-expressed, and want to have fun while taking care of yourself. Capricorn: Your focus was on comfort and adding in more fun. This year will be about bringing in excitement and creating opportunities for your home and family. Aquarius: This past year, you focused on structure and authority, as well as getting clear about your values. This year you'll be flexing your leadership muscles, making new friends, getting even more support and security, and finding a routine that feels grounded. Pisces: Last year, you were trailblazing in many ways. This year, however, will be about exploring from curiosity and focusing on monetizing your passion and career.
