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

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.

Meet Alan Cohen Alan Cohen, M.A., is the author of 30 popular inspirational books, including the best-selling A Course in Miracles Made Easy, the award-winning A Deep Breath of Life, and the classic Are You as Happy as Your Dog? He is a contributing writer for the New York Times #1 bestselling series Chicken Soup for the Soul, and his books have been translated into 32 foreign languages. His work has been featured on Oprah.com, in USA Today, The Washington Post, and 101 Top Experts. He is a featured presenter in the award-winning documentary Finding Joe, illuminating the teachings of renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell. A Course In Miracles Made Easy (or Easier) Alan's book A Course In Miracles Made Easy was one of the more powerful books I've read in that he explains the deep meaning and lessons of the course. In this interview, we got to the heart of why this channeled work has transformed millions of lives. Because so many wise words were shared in this conversation, I will share my favorites with you below. A suggestion is to start with A Course In Miracles workbook and take it one page (and day) at a time. Favorite takeaways: There is only one lesson, and that is that everything is a choice between love and fear. Ask yourself, then, what would the voice of love say here? A miracle is a shift in perspective. Even a little willingness can start a miracle. The spirit within me loves to hear the truth about itself. We are meant to be happy and are always worthy. We live in a world of illusion. The world we live in is a construct of false ideals, and I'm affected only by my thoughts. The power of love is the healing force in the Universe. When you feel stuck or in fear, ask: "Please help me see this differently!" Anger is fear under pressure. All negative emotions (jealousy, depression, despair, anger, etc.) are connected to fear. To get to the root level, ask yourself, "What's under the anger?" Fear is never justified in any form. Fear is not real. When afraid, you are responding to some illusion. If I trust, fear can't survive. Trust is the bedrock and our greatest teacher. And lastly, I loved this one as well --- "Fear knocked at the door, faith answered and no one answered." The Spirit and The Ego May you remember to decipher your spirit vs ego voice. Do this by asking yourself: What does the voice of fear/ego say? What does the voice of love say? Notice which feels better, and you will soon see how powerful the voice of love is. There is nothing you can do not to be loved by God. You are perfect, divine and always loved.

Meet Sonia Choquette Sonia Choquette is a NY Times bestselling author and international speaker, widely regarded as today's preeminent leader on the subject of intuition. Reawakening humanity's sixth sense is Sonia's mission, passion, and gift. Rising up from her family's challenging circumstances, she began offering intuitive readings to adults at the age of 12 and started her training with two master teachers in metaphysical arts and spiritual law. Since then, Sonia has traveled the globe for over four decades, presented on the world's biggest stages, and collaborated with leading spiritual teachers and media platforms to help millions reconnect with their innate intuitive intelligence. Sonia's approach to teaching intuition is one-of-a-kind. Instead of drawing from rigid scientific or spiritual dogma, she empowers her students to feel and listen to their own inner voices - and experience self-driven transformation through trust and reverence of the higher self. Sonia grew up with the rare gift of being taught to trust her intuition and where the 6th sense was considered the 1st sense to pay attention to. Sonia's mother was a Romanian refugee who lost her hearing but had her life saved by her own inner voice. Sonia started teaching about how to access your intuition by age 15 and shares in this interview tools, tips, and ways to learn how to listen to your intuition so that you can live your best life! Your Intuition Is A Super Power Take this in, my friend. Intuition literally means 'inner teacher'. We are all born with intuition and an inner teacher. Learning to listen to your intuition and treat it like your own personalized inner compass will change your life (and for some, it can literally save your life as well). To develop your intuition, you have to get out of your head and accept that your heart is an intelligent organ. We've talked about this before in my interviews with Dr. Debbie Rozman and Dr. Rollin McCrady from HeartMath. Our heart is 5,000 stronger than our other senses. Connecting to your heart intelligence and deeper inner wisdom is now scientifically proven and means what you've been told --- follow your heart. As Einstein said, the human spirit is the main gift, the mind is the servant. How To Tell If It's Your Intuition Sonia shared some easy ways to tell if it's your intuition or your mind. For starters, intuition is a feeling, not a lot of words. You'll notice that your intuition leaves your body and energy feeling more open, whereas if it's your intellect, you'll feel more constricted and contracted. Intuition will have a 'ringing true' quality and will resonate with your whole body. A great tool to really check and see is to speak it out loud and see if what you're picking up lands true. If it does, you'll feel it in your body and heart. Try This Game At Home To align your ego and spirit, Sonia shared a fun game that will reframe the way you see both your ego and your unruly mind so that you can have a more harmonious relationship within yourself. Think of your ego as a friendly barking dog that is a friend to your Spirit (the part of you that knows who you really are). Give a name to the dog and to your Spirit -- for example Sonia's dog is Feefee and her Spirit is named Bright Light. Talk to both parts of you in a playful and fun way to reframe the way you view how you interact with your ego and Spirit. This can alleviate the seriousness and frustration that is often present when we start looking at parts of ourselves we want to shift and change. Try it and let me know what you've named your dog and Spirit in the You-est You Facebook community. My Favorite Takeaways: Trust your vibes! The missing piece for most of us is to fully trust our intuition. When your intuition leads and your ego follows, you will have a magical life. Intuition is the communication of your divine most authentic self (what we call your 'You-est You'). When you listen to your intuition, your cells and body relax fully. Your body is a truth serum. (enough said) Your intuition isn't about finding the lost keys, it's about finding the lost sense of yourself. My hope and prayers are that this conversation reminds you that you are born with an intuition superpower that is here to guide you and that you don't need anyone else to validate you, or your inner wisdom. You're here not to just survive, but to grow, create, adapt, learn and enjoy your life. Keep focusing on trusting and attending to your intuition and watch how life becomes magical. From my me-est me, may you always remember to "trust your vibe", as Sonia says. I highly recommend any of her 30 books, including her newest book, "Trust Your Vibe".

Meet Bryan Hubbard Bryan Hubbard has an extensive and versatile background as a journalist, editor, publisher, and author of two books, including Time-Light. He is also the publisher and co-editor of the international magazine What Doctors Don't Tell You, published in nine countries. Bryan developed his unique Time-Light therapy after suffering from chronic depression for more than a decade. His understanding that the depression was the result of an abusive childhood didn't lift it, but neither did the standard therapies, which at best provided only temporary relief. After spending years trying to understand what was driving the depression, one day he had an epiphany: the depression wasn't different from its cause. They were one and the same thing. From that initial breakthrough—which was summarised in the words: 'That to which you do not fully attend shall weigh you down' that suddenly came to him, although from where he has no idea—his understanding went deeper. Today, at the core of the Time-Light therapy is the realization that time is energy. Time is created by trauma, and time itself drives the depression, anxiety, and other so-called mental disorders that manifest from the trauma. Beyond even that, Time-Light explores how we are made up of three time-selves and the way they interact with each other. Ultimately, Time-Light is a spiritual therapy that returns us to our natural, and timeless, state. Learn more about Bryan and his work at time-light.co.uk. Ok, when I say this conversation went deep, I mean get ready to dive deeper than most interviews have ever gone (I'm talking 100 ft deep). Bryan shares powerful channeled wisdom that helped him heal from his depression and childhood trauma of being emotionally and verbally abused by his father. There are a lot of concepts discussed here that require you to hold a wider lens focus and an open mind. I'm hoping this discussion will help you realize and actualize your 'You-est You' and remember that you always have a choice to be empowered and change your life at any time. My prayer is that you can start using some of the techniques shared here as a way to release your 'past self' and heal your relationship with time. Adverse Childhood Experience & Trauma Bryan shared both about his own troubling childhood growing up believing he was unwanted and with very little joy or connection in his family. He suffered from a lack of self-worth and depression. We know from many studies that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can change the shape of the brain, negatively affect the amygdala and cortex, and even lead to premature death. He had tried therapy and SSRI's (anti-depressant drugs) and found neither to work well for him. During a down moment of despair and depression, he was struck by a powerful thought, what Bryan says felt like a purely channeled spiritual message. He heard the phrase "That which you don't attend to will weigh you down". Bryan shared that it felt like heard a missing divine law, like the 11th commandment. He decided to explore this deeper and ended up discovering that the issue is all around our relationship with time. As humans, we are not separate entities but instead are a creation of time. He realized that the problem or trauma and self are identical. The problem time expresses through us, is energy. Ok, you might be wondering what I mean here...hang in there, I'll explain more. Time is Energy Let's level the playing field here. A core concept we discussed is that time is energy and doesn't exist as we think it does. In other words, Bryan explained that in sum, time is a measurement of change. Time is relative to change. We don't see the world as it is, per se, but as we perceive it (paraphrasing a famous quote here by Anaïs Nin). We don't actually know what time is as time exists as energy. The 3 Aspects of Self Bryan explains how we have three aspects of ourselves as it relates to time. The Past Self - your past self is based on your psychological experiences, narrative (stories), and knowledge. Most people are living out their past selves in the present. The Present Self - who you are in this present moment, ideally free from past narratives and in connection with greater consciousness. The Potential 'No Time' Self - this is your full potentiality that is not related to time (think, your 'You-est You'). Your 'You-est You' is you, without fear, as a true free spirit. Healing With Time-Light Therapy The reality of who we are is that we're all a unified whole. Time-light therapy gently changes your relationship with time, which in essence changes your relationship with the trauma, or messenger of time. Bryan has a 21-day program with a new exercise each day to help change your relationship with time and yourself. We discussed some of the most potent exercises that you could start doing now, at home, on your own to help heal your past experience and experience of time. Here are a few of the techniques to start with: Try to not name or label anything. Period. In other words, you are working on getting rid of the conceptual mind (a Buddhist practice) Start a forgiveness practice. This isn't necessarily about forgiving the other person. It's about forgiving yourself for carrying the weight of past trauma. Commence a gratitude practice focusing on as many things as you can to be grateful for. Write the biography of your life in the third person. This will help you to be more of an observer in your life. Do retro intentions (this is where you express what you would've wanted to say at the time of the upsetting past experience or trauma). Want to listen to my interview with Bryan's wife Lynne McTaggart, all about the surprising power of setting intentions?
