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

Meet Acharya Shunya Acharya Shunya is a truth-teller who facilitates authenticity, self-remembrance, and divine feminine pathways to awakening within. The first female head of her 2,000-year-old Indian spiritual lineage, Shunya reinterprets and re-contextualizes ancient teachings for modern times, empowering people everywhere to lead fearless, fulfilled, and enlightened lives. She is president of the Awakened Self Foundation and founder of Vedika Global, Inc. in California. She is the author of the bestselling books Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom and Sovereign Self and her newest book, Roar Like a Goddess. She lives in Northern California. Let me tell you, my friend, that this conversation brought me to tears. Acharya Shunya is a powerful example of a pure embodiment of the divine feminine and goddess energy and is full of cosmic wisdom and universal truths. I'm so excited to share much of our conversation here. I hope you'll tune in -- you'll certainly be touched, moved, and inspired. Perhaps you'll be moved to tears too, like yours truly. Enjoy! Celebrating the Divine Feminine Acharya Shunya was taught early on by her grandfather, a master teacher, that she would head the lineage even though she is a female. She was told this at nine years old and learned at a young age that this would be her path and dharma, regardless of her gender. She would be the first head of her lineage in over 2,000 years and begin to change the ancient custom and weave in the power of bringing in the divine feminine and teachings of the Goddess. Unconditional Self-Respect Acharya Shunya teaches in her book, Roar Like A Goddess, that part of our learning is to see ourselves like the divine, which means creating non-negotiable respect and safety for ourselves. It's important to remember that even in the darkest moments, we are connected to the divine light. Our goal is not just to speak and proclaim our self-respect but to know it and embody this unconditional self-love and respect. The Power of Shakti There is only one Goddess force in the Vedic tradition, which is called Shakti. Shakti in Sanskrit means power. This all-encompassing feminine power invites, rather than destroys, builds rather than tears down. The three aspects of Shakti are exemplified through the three Goddesses: Durga, Saraswati, and Lakshmi. Acharya Shunya teaches how to connect to the powerful energy, lessons, and wisdom of each Goddess. Here's a quick overview to give you a taste of their universal teachings for a beautiful life: 1) Durga - Durga gives you permission to own your power and shed fear. She is all about getting in touch with your power within and expressing what Shunya calls 'righteous rage'. This is a highly conscious rage that can stem from years and lifetimes of being marginalized and overlooked. Durga is about cutting through fear. 2) Saraswati - Saraswati is all about knowingness and discernment. This energy asks you to discern what is a minor matter and/or what is a world manner. She helps you to convert trauma into growth for greater transformation and healthy, full expression of your potentiality. 3) Lakshmi - Lakshmi is all about the heart, love, playfulness, rest, and prosperity. She is anchored in conscious behavior, not just a scripted way of being. Her energy reminds us to play, connect to our sexuality and sensuality, find balance and enjoy the fullness of life. Roar Like a Goddess It's time to connect to the Goddess energy, frequency, and wisdom. First, you must roar with courage. Next, you must roar with fullness, balance, and abundance. We all need to roar with healing, higher consciousness, and compassion. May you be inspired by Acharya Shunya's example of what's possible for women and all of humanity, and may you roar like a Goddess! Final Thoughts Acharya Shunya shines her light for all of us to see the goddess within us. It is the goddess energy where we find the courage to create non-negotiable respect and safety for ourselves. Be sure to check out her latest book Roar Like a Goddess.

Meet Eme Ray Eme Ray is the CEO & founder of two multi-7-figure businesses, has been in the online space for over 20 years, is a certified Life Designer® Coach, certified trainer of NLP, and certified facilitator with XChange. Eme joined me on today's episode to unpack the three common misconceptions and secrets to building your thriving and prosperous coaching practice. We have also teamed up to launch Monetize Your Purpose in early 2023. It's a powerful group program within my Life Designer® Coach Academy. It helps coaches learn step by step how to birth their coaching business with confidence, clarity, and the know-how for a business that does not follow traditional sales and marketing rules. To get on the waitlist, go to juliereisler.com/myp. If you are in the coaching, healing, or service space, you might not realize that the tried and true ways to grow a coaching business are not the same as product-based companies. Eme and I chatted all about this to give you the tips, strategies, and secrets we've both learned along the way to help you in your own marketing and growth efforts. We both feel strongly that it's imperative for you to have the tools and confidence needed to thrive and be an even greater light in the world because the world sure does need you. If you've struggled with getting out there and becoming more visible and influential in your space, this episode is for you. We have you covered, my friend, and we hope you'll find these suggestions helpful and easy to implement. If you still want greater support after listening, please let me know, and we'll follow up with you about the next launch of Monetize Your Purpose within the Life Designer® Coach Academy. As always, take what you like and leave the rest. 3 Secrets to Building a Coaching Business Secret #1 You're not in a typical business. Focus on building authentic relationships more than you would in any kind of product-based business. We discussed what this means when you have a coaching business and how to create organic and genuine connections with others you can collaborate, partner with, and sometimes work with. If you follow the typical marketing roadmap, you will end up overwhelmed and exhausted. Secret #2 Speaking of overwhelm, if you find yourself in overwhelm often, you are in the danger zone of losing steam and momentum. You've got to learn how to bring in more ease, calm, and focus so that you don't burn yourself out. Eme and I shared ways to do this that we've both used within our coaching business. Secret #3 Mindset is everything. With a growth mindset and powerful intention, you can build your momentum back and allow the Universe to step in and guide you and your actions. This is a key that took a while for me to understand. If you're used to being the high achiever worker bee who does everything, you'll need to learn how to work smarter, not harder. And how to align your mindset with your higher potential and that of your higher self, i.e., your You-est You. This one takes practice, and we shared some practical ways to do this. Final Thoughts If you are ready to grow your coaching practice, visibility, and impact in the world, and conquer these three secrets, make sure to get on the waitlist for my upcoming live group program, Monetize Your Purpose, opening back up in 2023. Eme Ray, an online business genius with two 7 figure businesses and incredible coaching and mindset credentials, will be partnering with me to lead this course. We know that it will make a difference in your life and for those you're here to work with. Get on the waitlist here juliereisler.com/myp.

The 4 Common Roadblocks For New Coaches In this solo episode, I talked about the 4 most common roadblocks I've seen get in the way of new coaches getting traction and momentum when starting a coaching business. Whether you're a coach, a creative, or an entrepreneur, you'll probably identify with these roadblocks in your own career as well. After a decade of coaching leaders and entrepreneurs and teaching the art and skill of coaching to hundreds of students, and in my own coaching journey, I know what can get in the way of making a greater impact and growing your business. In this week's episode, I'm pulling the curtain back on the four things to watch out for so that they don't stop you from being your You-est You when starting a coaching business or entrepreneurial endeavor. You Don't Have To Have It All Together Ok, my friend, let's just get something straight. We are never going to have it all figured out. Life will never be perfect, and no matter how much personal growth work you do, you will not always have it all together. And that's ok. Don't let this be a reason that stops you from feeling like you can start a coaching business and be a mentor to others. One of the secrets is that as a coach, it's never about you anyhow. In fact, what you are is an expert at learning how to listen at a deep level to help your client accomplish and align with their greatest desires and goals. In essence, you are helping them to be their best self or "You-est You." Don't let the trap of thinking you have to be perfect or have your life working perfectly get in the way of your coaching and making a greater impact. I shared a few tips on how to put this fear to bed. Don't Downplay Your Worth It's easy, especially for newer coaches, to get cold feet when discussing pricing and money. This is one of the reasons I believe it's crucial for coaches to invest their personal resources, time, and money in being coached. You have to know at a deep, cellular level the power of coaching. I worked with a coach years ago who literally changed my life with one powerful question. That question, and life pivot, was the impetus for my return to school to get a master's degree in coaching and integrative wellbeing. While I strongly believe in being certified and trained in this work since it is not as easy as it seems and is not about giving advice, being an expert or a cheerleader, you need to value yourself and the training you did receive. By undercharging, you end up undervaluing your services and the value of this work. I share a few ways to shift your belief and own your worth when starting a coaching business so you overcome that roadblock and can make a greater impact. Overcoming The Fear of Visibility A big roadblock I often see is the discomfort with being seen and putting yourself out there, be it through sending emails, sharing on social media, or any kind of marketing. The secret is becoming so in love with your 'why' that it supersedes any other fear of visibility. One of the ways to do this is to ask yourself this three-part question: Why is being a coach important to you, those you're here to support and serve, and the world? Get clear on your why, put it on your favorite post-it wall or in your phone reminders, and marry your why. Putting yourself out there, and making yourself visible leads to making a greater impact. The two go hand in hand. Rebuilding Your Confidence The best and most important way to build and expand your confidence as a coach is...wait for it...coaching! You need to continue practicing your craft and coaching as much as possible to utilize your coaching skills & training and boost your experience. When starting a coaching business, you must realize it takes time to build mastery. Don't let being a new coach, or being out of practice, get in the way of your taking action to find new clients to coach. Even if it means starting pro-bono or at a lower rate as you rebuild your confidence muscle, the important thing is to get out there and share with your peers, friends, and community that you are eager to coach and support clients to design and live their best life. The more you coach, the more confidence you'll have in knowing that this is miracle work and that it is just one less roadblock you have to overcome. Don't ever forget that as a coach, you are in the miracle business, and I can't imagine a better time for more miracles. Final Thought Starting a coaching business can seem overwhelming. You might feel there are too many roadblocks keeping you from being the great success you dream of. But following these four pieces of advice will help you gain confidence in moving forward so you can get visible and make a greater impact.

We dug into what it takes to find your partner and real love. Tune in to hear more tips, practices, and ways to align your energy to attract your match. The Power of Setting Boundaries If you feel icky about setting boundaries or have any negative connotation with them, listen up my friend. We discussed the importance of shifting your mindset around setting boundaries from negative to neutral to positive. Learning to have good boundaries is both an act of self-love and helps your partner know your parameters. And as Sami Wunder shared, setting boundaries can be super sexy! Who knew?! A New Way to See Intimacy Think of this as Into-Me-I-See (Get it? Intimacy is into-me-I-see). In other words, you're allowing your partner to view all aspects of you. Sami Wunder shares that this is why learning to be vulnerable, open, and love all of yourself, without judgment, is crucial to fully embracing yourself and allowing your partner to see all of you. It can be tough to get close to another person and expose your vulnerabilities. Start by accepting these parts of yourself that you might have neglected, overlooked, or denied. Learn to celebrate and adore yourself first, as this will permit your partner to do the same. The Power of Feminine Energy and Receiving So many of us high-achieving women are used to being go-getters, taking action, being driven, and all about the goal, which is tapping into empowered masculine energy. All human beings have both masculine and feminine energy to draw upon, regardless of sex or gender. Sami Wunder shared about being raised by a mother who told her to always be strong, driven, goal-driven, and make her own money at all costs. While her mom was trying to be helpful, it caused a lot of stress and health issues for Sami. We discussed the importance of the signature feminine energy of 'being' versus 'doing'. This might feel odd and weird at first, but learning to be -- be present in the moment and receiving can be important in your relationship and for your health. Final Thoughts Sami Wunder shares about the importance of setting boundaries and how setting boundaries promotes a feeling of self-love and expands a sense of healthy relationship parameters. She also imparts her wisdom both from being a high-achieving woman and working with them that you can't be afraid to step into your feminine energy. That you can still be wildly successful in balancing both masculine and feminine energy. Sami Wunder has prepared a special masterclass called 'Lean In At Work, Lean Back In Love' in which she shares 3 mindset shifts that high-achieving women can make to be successful not only in their careers but also in dating and relationships. She is sharing this with anyone who would like Feminine Energy life training.

Meet Emily McAllister Emily McAllister, my dear sister from the same mister, is an incredible photographer, writer, and truth-teller. Emily is a creative, entrepreneur, mama in recovery to two adorable girls, and soon-to-be author. Emily is a Boston-native living in Southern California, where she owns her photography business, Emily McAllister Photography. Emily also works as a freelance writer and an occasional public speaker. Emily's writing has been featured on Scary Mommy, The Dad, What's Up Moms, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Love What Matters, and more. Emily has been a guest on several podcasts where she shares everything from her recovery story, her experience with maternal mental health, as well as her entrepreneurial journey that led her to professional photography. She is currently working on her first non-fiction book but in the meantime, shares her sassy, sometimes racy, and often hilarious thoughts on Twitter @Emily_tweets. Feeling Like a Misfit & Coloring Outside The Lines Emily McAllister talked about her inherent wiring to follow her own rules and color outside the lines. I've seen these self-starting and non-rule following traits in entrepreneurs as major assets. While this didn't feel like a strength growing up, she later learned that her creativity, resilience, and authenticity led Emily to start her own successful business. She had to follow her messy, nonlinear journey and truly be her 'You-est You' to find her own genuine path. If you also tend to color outside the lines and go against the grain or zig where others zag, know that this is often your greatest gift. Follow it and embrace all of yourself. Laughter As Medicine Laughter helped Emily McAllister heal traumas from the past as they related to substance abuse and addiction. She learned that by sharing her deepest, darkest stories with others, a healing happened in that true connection. Today, in addition to being a photographer, Emily is a speaker and loves helping other women to share their stories. One of her biggest messages-don't take yourself or your challenges too seriously. Learn to laugh with and at yourself, and you'll start the inner healing process in a way you couldn't have imagined. The Mom Life Crisis This is really about feeling lost - both in losing herself to motherhood and her own identity - to finding a whole new sense of self. From breakdown to breakthrough, the mom life crisis has been humbling for Emily, and she shares how this period of being lost and overwhelmed can lead you back to a stronger form of yourself. The trick is to stay with the feelings, to feel your feelings fully, and allow what's next to arise naturally. You're Only As Sick As Your Secrets Emily McAllister's biggest lesson to share is so powerful. In essence, when we hide parts of ourselves or our truth, we are allowing shame to take over and disconnect us from real connection. Sharing the secrets, stories, and situations you've held in shame will change your life. This is much of what has helped Emily in her own recovery journey, along with taking ownership of her life and realizing that we have a part in all aspects of our life movie. A reminder, life isn't happening to you; it's happening for you. In sum, it's about owning your sh*t and eating donuts (if you so desire). Final Thoughts Emily McAllister is a perfect example of how to wrangle mom life with grace even on the days you want to crawl back in bed (because we ALL do and that's ok) and how coloring outside the lines is what makes you uniquely perfect. To use that gift to share your dark secret, to shine the light on them so that you, and others, realize they aren't so scary after all.

Meet Colin Beavan Colin Beavan, Ph.D., is a sought-after coach, speaker, consultant, and Zen Teacher in the Kwan Um Zen tradition. He attracted international attention for his year-long lifestyle-redesign project and the wildly popular book, No Impact Man, and the Sundance-selected documentary film it inspired. Colin ran for the US House of Representatives in New York's 8th Congressional District in 2012, was the founder of the No Impact Project, a board member of Transportation Alternatives, an advisory council member of 350.org, and a guest professor at Sarah Lawrence College. He is the author, most recently, of How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World. He can be found at www.colinbeavan.com as well as on Instagram @ColinBeavan. No Impact Man Experiment Colin Beavan set out on a year-long experiment back in 2009 to live environmentally friendly in an extreme way in NYC. He wanted to explore how we can live where we help others and ourselves, understand our role in the environment and climate change, and the impact we make (the inspiration for his No Impact Project, by the way). This year-long project became the documentary, No Impact Man, where Colin focused each month on another issue in the environment and then removed it from his life. He addressed issues like trash, water use, degradation, transportation, and buying only local food. In pursuing these areas of concern, another big question came up - is there a way to build a community that naturally embeds this kind of consciousness into its fabric of society? The year proved to be a powerful experiment in allowing Colin to get healthier and step off the treadmill of constant 'doing' and being glued to screens, giving him more nourishing time to spend with his young daughter, family, and friends. How To Be Alive and Kind This No Impact Man opportunity opened up more questions that he addressed in his book, How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World, about choosing a way of being where we're both taken care of and taking care of others. This mutual care scenario would allow for a greater sense of security and meaning, two important aspects of having a good life. Colin Beavan unpacked the deeper question of finding meaning in one's life by answering the following questions, which I encourage you to address for yourself: 1) Understanding yourself: Who are you, and what feels important to you? 2) What is the world to you, and what do you care about? 3) How might you bring these two answers together? It's Time To Create A World Based on Kindness Much of Colin Beavan's studies and wisdom comes from the Zen tradition, a mystical practice that focuses much of your time and energy on staying deep, open-ended questions like 'Who are you?' and not knowing the answer. Colin shared about a master teacher he encountered early on who shared that the ideal is "to wash your mind with 'I don't know' soap." In other words, when you're not interfering with 'knowing' something, you can respond to how the world naturally responds. Under this practice is building your trust in the Universe. Now What's Next? We're in times where many are confused, scared, and anxious but want to bring in more kindness. Tune in to hear a beautiful practice to stay in the 'not knowing' and call in greater connection to kindness. Final Thought Colin Beavan's efforts to change the world one step at a time led to a movement we can all join in big or small ways. No Impact Man is well worth the watch to uncover the impact we have on the world with the choices we make, even unconsciously, every day. Be sure to pick up a copy of his latest book, How to Be Alive: A Guide To The Kind of Happiness That Helps The World.

Meet Roger Love Roger Love is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on voice. No other vocal coach in history has been more commercially successful in both the speaking and singing fields. Roger has produced over 150 million unit sales worldwide and has written three top-selling books. Roger coaches singers such as John Mayer and Selena Gomez, as well as speakers like Anthony Robbins and actors including Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana, Keira Knightly, and Bradley Cooper. Roger has generously offered a $50 gift certificate to learn how to harness your voice. It is waiting for you right now at http://rogerlove.com/julie You're about to learn new ways to overcome self-doubt and build confidence and the most important things no one's ever told you about using your voice to become a more successful entrepreneur and change-maker. How To Use Your Voice As An Instrument Roger Love is the absolute best in the world at helping you to use the power of your voice to bring out the best of who you are. Science proves that what we say is first processed emotionally, then logically. The emotions are first passed through the prefrontal cortex. In other words, it's not just the words that affect how you feel when someone speaks to you. A myriad of variables, like pitch, volume, and melody, will have you decide if you trust or like the person speaking. Roger has created innovative and incredibly powerful techniques to develop your voice as an instrument that you can use in any way you choose. Listen in to learn some of these brilliant strategies like ascending and descending scales. Hint: you were probably taught early on the wrong way to use your voice, and this one tip could make a massive difference in the way others perceive you and your message. Tune in to learn how to use the power of your voice to make a larger impact. Overcoming Fear of Public Speaking Did you know that the fear of public speaking is one of the biggest fears? Ironically, speaking in public, be it on stage, within your company, making a pitch, or leading others is an essential skill. Roger Love shares how to use the voice's building blocks and the five-voice variables to be an effective communicator. But still, it's crucial to use them in the right way, and how you use you use the building blocks is dependent on the emotion you want to evoke. As you learn how to use your voice and build confidence, how to get over a fear of public speaking becomes a non-issue. The Five Key Variables Of Your Voice I bet you didn't know that there are 5 aspects to your voice. And with practice, you can learn to evoke and tap into the 23 main emotions, like gratitude, empathy, and even anger, at any time. Roger trains some leading actors and celebrities, as well as speakers and leaders, on eliciting any emotion they want to communicate. These 5 main variables or voice building blocks are: Pitch Volume Melody Tune Pace Understanding The Power of Your Voice You may not realize it, but knowing how to breathe (Roger gave a really fun demo in the interview) can change the way you speak and sound. Most of us breathe through our mouths or speak without enough breath. Roger Love calls this phenomenon 'Vocal Fry', and it sounds like you're out of breath. If you're looking to speak more --- be it on stage, on a podcast, in front of colleagues, or at an event, tune in so you can use the power of your voice to do this properly. We had a blast practicing how to breathe through the nose and speak while the air is leaving your diaphragm. Final Thoughts Roger Love was such a joy to have on the show sharing his knowledge as a vocal coach. Who knew that how to get over a fear of public speaking can lie in the power of your voice?

I struggled for years with a sense that I wasn't enough. I felt a lack of self-worth that affected all aspects of my life, including my body image and the way I saw myself. I'm here first off to remind you that your self-worth has nothing to do with what you do or your achievements. You are worthy because you are born. All of us are. You're inherently worthy. Period. 5 Ways To Increase Your Self-Worth Now that we've got that straight, I want to share with you the five ways I've found to help increase your self-worth. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. 1. Say No More Often Yes, you heard me right. It might sound counterintuitive but say no more often! By learning to speak up for yourself, saying no and getting out of the people-pleasing rut, you're learning to feel ok saying no. When you say no, you allow yourself to make room for what is a full yes. This builds self-efficacy! 2. Be Impeccable with Your Words Be mindful and impeccable with your words. As Don Miguel Ruiz shares in his book (one of my absolute faves), The Four Agreements, you must be impeccable with your word. Here's the catch, be impeccable with the words you use towards and with yourself. Start to recognize, track and watch what you say to yourself. Watch what you say to others as well, and build real integrity with your words and actions. This builds confidence and self-worth. 3. Forgive Yourself Forgive Yourself is a practice that will allow you to release shame, guilt, regret, and feelings of 'not good enough'. Write a list of resentments you have with and towards yourself. Look at them as an observer and go deeper to see what was under each resentment and fear. Write about that fear and have compassion for yourself. You can't change the past, but you can change the present, which will change your future. This is not only helpful for building your worthiness but also healing for your mind and body. 4. Focus on Your Strengths Focus on your strengths rather than where you're falling short. It's so easy (thank you, 'negative bias') to feel like you're always coming up short, missing out, and comparing yourself to others. Rather than focusing on what's not working, aim your attention on your strengths. Write a list of your strengths. For example, some of your top strengths are creativity, empathy, kindness, writing, deep listening, and open-mindedness. Create a practice before the end of each day where you look at how you tapped into your strengths. What you focus on will expand and make you feel more and more self-worth. 5. Turn to a Higher Power Don't do your life alone. Take time every morning before answering texts and calls and checking your Instagram feed to connect to a source and power greater than yourself. Whether you call it the Divine Matrix, Infinite Intelligence, God, Goddess, The Universe, Source Energy, or Higher Power, find a way to anchor into this greater channel of wisdom, love, and light. I shared some practices I do to help me feel more connected to the Divine. Find what works for you and make this a mandatory practice. You will start to feel an increased sense of self-worth and a deeper relationship with Divine Order. The World Is A Mirror Don't forget that the world is a mirror reflecting what you see within yourself. As you strengthen your sense of self-worth, you'll not only see this in others but it will be reflected back to you. The goal, of course, is not to need it reflected back by others but to cultivate this from within and with your Higher Power. Final Thoughts Here's to your remembering your worthiness and increasing your sense of self-worth! Side note, if you would like 1:1 mentorship and support and accountability to help increase your self-worth, feel free to reach out and set up a time to chat.

Meet Cathy Heller Cathy Heller is a fire hose of inspiration. She's the host of the popular podcast, Don't Keep Your Day Job, which has 30 million downloads and has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, HuffPost, Inc Magazine, Business Insider, and several times by Apple. Each week Cathy encourages thousands of listeners to find more purpose, make an impact, and build an abundant life by doing what they love. She's interviewed successful authors, celebrities, entrepreneurs, spiritual leaders, experts, and everyday heroes about what led them to the biggest moments in their lives. She shares how you, too, can create a life you can't wait to wake up to every day. Cathy's book Don't Keep Your Day Job is filled with inspirational stories from people in her community who have taken control of their life's journey. Her book details how to find the work you're meant to do, grow your business, and wake up to a life you love. She is a phenomenal leader for spiritual seekers, creatives, and entrepreneurs, and she's helping people everywhere add their gifts to the world. Cathy often says, "purpose is the opposite of depression." She is truly lifting others to be the happiest version of themselves. You can learn more at cathyheller.com Discomfort Is The Gift Cathy Heller had a record deal but was dropped from the label. She left her dream of singing and writing music to get into real estate. While financially successful, Cathy felt miserable. She remembered advice from a Tony Robbins tape (I know, so old school, but we used to listen to cassette tapes), which said to ask a good question of yourself. In doing this, Cathy asked herself what she really wanted to do and realized at the time it was to write music. She cold-called producers and directors of TV shows (mind you, without any prior relationship) and got good at building her discomfort muscle. While it was super uncomfortable at first, Cathy Heller pursued these contacts and started to ask what they needed help with. The response was that she was the first person to ask what was needed and truly listen. She pushed beyond her comfort zone and kept calling, making new relationships with producers, and soon was writing music for hit TV shows. Cathy explained that stepping out of her comfort zone and doing it anyway became a gift. And that her business was about radical empathy, as Seth Godin says. They responded to her humility and willingness to listen. Her discomfort was the gift that kept giving as she learned to tap into these same principles and expanded into teaching others how to grow their business. Ask This Question To Pursue Your Goal The question that kept Cathy Heller exploring newer and higher heights was what she needed to do next. She often didn't know but would assume she could figure it out. Cathy took the next right action and step, adding in authenticity and humility, and grew her business to seven figures. This question of what do I need to do next, is one she continues to ask herself. Why Courage Is A Must Courage is truly the juicy part. You learn to make a choice even if fear is there because in the end, you can go to bed with your soul at peace. You've got to reframe how you look at courage. The goal is to grow and tap into courage, not to be comfortable. Courage is the ingredient that will allow you to move past your ego and fear. Facing courage and doing it anyway moves you beyond your comfort zone and will enable you to reach your dreams. As Deepak Chopra says, who we are is the divine pretending to be a person, and courage is really about showing up as your divine self. Abundance & Thriving Are Your Birthright We live in a vibrational field where our thoughts have a vibrational frequency. Within 4 seconds, you can feel another person's vibe -- literally. Our job is to thrive. Scarcity is an illusion and is not true. The bigger issue is our capacity to receive and trust that we're meant to be abundance. Just look at our bodies with over 50 trillion cells, powerhouse cells thriving and scientifically connected to the planets, and cosmos, as depicted by our circadian rhythm. It's time to trust our inherent abundance. In truth, our greatest abundance is our creativity. We're creators and meant to be innovating, thriving, and creating. What has helped Cathy Heller build her dream life and call in greater abundance is setting a daily practice of meditation and purposely being generous. Cathy meditates every morning to connect to a state of oneness, which ironically is a realm of being one with all and a nobody. She also lists 5 things every day of ways she can be generous and give to others. Her nugget of wisdom: stop overthinking, give from a place of true gratitude and abundance and watch the natural momentum. Final Thoughts Be courageous. Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Being afraid and doing it anyway is a perfectly natural state of being but remember you are a Divine being, and facing your discomfort will take you far.
