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

Meet Aaron Abke Aaron Abke was born and raised as a Pastor's Son in the Silicon Valley of California. He desired to work in Church Ministry like his father and went to college at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Music and Theology. He spent one year working as a full-time worship pastor at a church in San Jose until eventually, at 23, he felt called to leave his religion and pursue a deeper and more authentic spirituality. At 27 years old, Aaron Abke had a dramatic spiritual awakening that changed the course of his life. He was working as a signed Fitness Model in San Francisco and competing at the National level in men's bodybuilding at the time. He completely walked out of his former life to dedicate his life to seeking how to return to that state of Self-Realization permanently. Aaron's passion is teaching Unity Consciousness and Spiritual Awakening with the world, and he does so today via YouTube, Social Media, MasterClasses, and Workshops, primarily teaching through texts such as "A Course In Miracles" and "The Law of One". Aaron believes that Unity Consciousness and freedom from the Ego is the next evolutionary leap for mankind and is available for anyone who truly desires it. The Ego Wears Many Masks Aaron is an expert in 'A Course in Miracles' and talked a lot about the trappings of the ego. As he defined it, the ego is any time you are in the I, me, mine arena. It's our identity that we cling to; that isn't really who we are. Guilt is an anchor point of the ego, as is judgment. The ego is the mental activity of identifying with the function of the working mind. Identity and suffering is really the ego cracking the whip to carry out its orders. As 'A Course in Miracles' states, the ego is whatever is not Love. As a reference point, we talked about the basic understanding that we are Love and that all we truly are, is the witness. The spiritual ego, which takes on a different costume of sorts, is about I, me, shame, and judgment, often about others as it relates to spiritual matters. Forgiveness is the Way Forgiveness is a step-by-step destruction of the ego and allows for true oneness. Through forgiveness, we can heal by letting whatever is causing upset, to release. The important aspect is not to judge this and just to forgive. As is said in 'A Course in Miracles,' nothing real can be threatened. We're often equating ourselves with the unreal, believing things are real (which he calls transitory illusions), and you can't ever satisfy these identities. All identification is harmful, and what is needed is a shift in consciousness is going from judgment to discernment. Open-Hearted Freedom If you want true freedom, you need to come to the altar of life with broken-hearted humility and Love. In other words, whatever I love, I heal. Our goal and aim are to come with an open heart towards EVERYTHING. We're always becoming. Mother earth has offered us so many options to become love. Understanding we are one means you can't point fingers at others because you realize that you are the world. Don't look at others. It's our obligation to wake up and change ourselves and to become Love. Ideally, as many of the masters who have walked our earth have taught, judge nothing, and meet all with loving compassion and forgiveness. Final Thoughts Aaron Abke reminds us that the teachings in books such as 'Law of One' and 'A Course in Miracles' teach us how to separate ourselves from the ego and remind ourselves that we are one with all that is. Becoming conscious of these thoughts awakens us to new concepts to put into practice in our daily lives, helping us to live in the light of forgiveness and compassion.

Meet Gregg Braden Gregg Braden is a six-time New York Times best-selling author, researcher, educator, lecturer, and internationally renowned as a pioneer bridging modern science, spirituality, and human potential. From 1979 to 1991 Gregg worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies, including Cisco Systems where he became the first Technical Operations Manager in 1991. He continues problem-solving today as he merges modern science and the wisdom of our past to reveal real-world solutions to the issues that challenge our lives. His research has led to 15 film credits and 12 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages. Gregg is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and is active with visionary organizations including the HeartMath Global Coherence Initiative and The Arlington Institute. He has presented his discoveries in over 30 countries on six continents and has been invited to speak to The United Nations, Fortune 500 companies, and the U. S. military. The United Kingdom's Watkins Journal lists Gregg among the top 100 of "the world's most spiritually influential living people" for the 6th consecutive year, and he is a 2020 nominee for the prestigious Templeton Award, established to honor "outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality." This is the second time I was gratefully able to have Gregg Braden on as a guest. I highly recommend that you listen to our first conversation back in April 2020. Gregg has become a mentor, inspiration, friend, and someone who is steeped in science and the facts yet is here to remind us that we are wired for health, wellbeing, goodness, kindness, and resilience. I hope this conversation touching on the topics in his book The Divine Matrix both illuminates and reminds you of your own inner power and healing abilities. This is a time to go deep within and reconnect to our divine nature and inner workings. You Are Capable of Self-Healing The amazing Gregg Braden reminded us that while there is a battle of sorts playing out right now for our thoughts around our wellbeing (tune in to hear more), new science is giving way to a new story. I found this fact to be mind-blowing. Here are some amazing facts to consider: We are made of 50 trillion cells (that is a LOT of cells) There are .07 volts per cell (doesn't seem like a lot right now, but read on my friend) This equates to 3.5 trillion volts of electrical potential in our bodies! You read that right! Every cell releases photons of light, just like plants. We inherently possess a ton of inner energy and potential. We're often conditioned to think our body is weak but the good news is that we have the ability to self-regulate biologically through our breath, focus, movement, emotion, and language. We're a highly advanced soft technology, and we often forget this. Gregg has been studying both the wisdom and principles of Shamans, monks, indigenous elder tribe leaders, and many other beautiful practices from ancient civilizations. When you draw upon this knowledge and our inner power and electrical potential (literally), you realize that we're wired for wellbeing, health, and full healing. I found this information to be highly comforting and great news. Tuning Into The Divine Matrix It gets better...we know through quantum physics and much research that the Universe is alive, connected and intelligent, and one that likes us. The fundamental rule of nature is cooperation. Understanding that cooperation is how we are all intrinsically created has positive implications on what's possible for humanity. You can read much more about how all of this works in Gregg Braden's incredible bestselling book, The Divine Matrix. He shares that there's an emerging philosophy that shows consciousness informing itself through its creation. This is literally a world we can't see that exists in the field of potentiality, or the divine matrix. Gregg had recently connected with an indigenous elder and he was moved by this elder's observation that 'the people of the earth have become lost with their connection to the cosmos, spirit and earth.' Final Thoughts We're seeing a lot of fear play out right now, which can be experienced as hurt and expressed as hate. The question to look at is how might we arrive at values we can all share while having sovereignty over our thoughts and bodies. The better we know ourselves, the less we fear others and our own power. As we each tap into our own connection to ourselves, the earth, and humanity, we can begin to bring about a unified world. It begins with looking deep within ourselves and a little self-healing. To learn more, be sure to get Gregg Braden's book The Divine Matrix.

I have loved recording these solo episodes and am hoping they are adding value, meaning, and impact to your life. Reminding you that you are definitely not alone in overcoming inner struggles and challenges. If you're listening to this episode, my hunch is that either you or someone you love dearly has struggled with abandoning and attacking yourself. Here's the thing, sweet friend, this one has deep roots and can wreak way more havoc than realized, including your health and wellbeing. I share my story about how I believe my autoimmune condition is directly related to not speaking my voice for years. All of this stems from doing what I thought others wanted, attacking myself, and abandoning myself when I felt shame, upset, envy, or unworthy. We're going to talk about how to love yourself and being more kind through compassion. Tune in to hear ways to identify how you might be abandoning and attacking yourself, how to compassionately and lovingly stop doing it, and ways to come back home to greater alignment, kindness and respect for yourself. It's about how to love yourself and showing more of this love on a daily basis. As you learn to do this in a real and genuine way, you will have a greater capacity for forgiveness and understanding within yourself and with others. I have found this kind of deep inner child work to be groundbreaking and life-changing. I share some of my personal struggles and learnings, that I hope help you to make shifts and changes for your highest good. As always, take what you like and leave the rest. Sacred Connection As always, this community is a sacred, safe place built on love and acceptance. It was created to help you evolve and expand into your highest self.

Meet Spiritually Psyched Meet the brilliant and powerhouse women and founders of Spiritually Psyched, a collective with a powerful mission to help anyone suffering from trauma, addiction, or low self-esteem to reconnect to their soul through grounded psychological support and practical spirituality. Alissa Schwartz, Holistic Psychotherapist, Soul Coach, President & co-founder of The Holistic Center for Soulful Living, is also the visionary leader and executive director of the non-profit Soulful Living for Recovery 501(c)3. Alissa's life's work and passion is to help individuals, families & the greater community HEAL, raise awareness, educate and help others to evolve into their greatest potential using an integrative psycho-spiritual approach to care! Alissa works to bridge western medicine and eastern philosophy using an integrative approach to care! She believes in a balanced approach to healing and dreams of a world where medicine meets mindfulness and spirituality because THE BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE SOUL! Anna Miranda, a Psychic Medium, Interfaith Minister, and Hypnotist, began her spiritual journey at the age of 16 after a profound spiritual awakening and near-death experience. Since her experience, she has dedicated her life to the study of metaphysics. She is also the founder of The Miranda School of Intuitive Arts. Her school offers development classes and certifications in healing and intuitive arts. Anna serves as an intuitive guide by psychically tapping into your soul's imprint and vibrational resonance to help you become more aware that your soul is the divine student living in the earth school. Rhea Spina is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Reiki Master, and Spiritually Psyched co-founder. She incorporates complementary and alternative modalities of treatment to support overall awareness and wellbeing. Rhea brings conscious attention to our soul-based self through Reiki, Vibrational Sound Therapy, Drum Circles, and Psychoeducation. Rhea aims to empower individuals on their journey towards self-actualization. Soul family, you are going to feel like you were in a living room getting to listen in on a delicious conversation all about practical spirituality, how to tap into your soul and experience the full array of human emotions and experiences. I was joined by three new kindred sisters talking all about wanting to bridge the world of spirituality, mental health, and human consciousness. Get ready for an insightful convo! A Grounded View of Spirituality I talked with Alissa Schwartz, Rhea Spina, and Anna Miranda about the importance of making spirituality practical. Anna Miranda, a renowned psychic medium, shared the practices that help her stay grounded and spiritually connected, which are traditional mindfulness practices and prayer. She sees prayer as the biggest form of connection in action and takes time every morning to talk to her soul and a Higher Power. Prayer can be whatever you want it or make it to be. Spirituality should be an active part of our lives and something we participate in small ways regularly, and prayer is just one way to easily add it into your life. The Powerful Lessons from Addiction Alissa Schwartz had a beautiful take on defining addicts, which was that "addicts are frustrated mystics looking for spirit in the wrong places." In other words, addicts are often some of the most highly sensitive and spiritually connected individuals who are cut off from that connection due to blocking it with whatever addiction is prevalent. As was shared in this conversation, Anna also shared how addiction was the vehicle for her soul's purpose. Rhea explained that the real healing in addiction (or from any past trauma) comes when you can love the parts of yourself you wish you could change. It's about forgiving all of yourself first. Forgiveness is an empowering aspect of soulful living. How To Decipher Your Intuition The cornerstone of an intuitive knowing, download, or inner voice is that it will always be a subtle and calm voice that feels like pure truth. You will typically notice it in your body first. Intuition grows and is nurtured in stillness. Taking time for mindfulness practices and meditation will help cultivate fertile ground for you to hear, feel and decipher your intuition. Growing your intuition through meditation is a perfect means to practical spirituality and relaxing into soulful living. It covers so many bases, and the benefits are only positive. Raising The Vibe This point really stuck out to me; we all thrive when we're connected. It's time to connect more not only to ourselves but also to one another. Spiritually Psyched has launched their podcast, Spiritually Psyched, to help raise the vibration of the planet, connect more hearts and create space for others to feel safe, authentic, comfortable, and free. Alissa ended us on a beautiful note-that she hopes the 'mind, body, spirit' language is someday a language all of humanity is proficient in. Final Thoughts The beautiful souls of Spiritually Psyched express how important it is to actively participate in our spirituality. That through our connection, we can find deeper meaning and healing. That while prayer and meditation are fabulous ways to connect spiritually, you get to decide what prayer looks like to you. The women of Spiritually Psyched also encourage us all to lean into soulful living, not just for our personal benefit but for the betterment of humankind and the whole planet.

Meet Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist. In 1996 she experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain causing her to lose the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Her memoir, My Stroke of Insight, documenting her experience with stroke and eight-year recovery, spent 63 weeks on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list and is still routinely the #1 book about stroke on Amazon. Dr. Taylor is a dynamic teacher and public speaker who loves educating all age groups, academic levels, as well as corporations about the beauty of our human brain and its ability to recover from trauma. In 2008 she gave the first TED talk that ever went viral on the Internet, which now has well over 26 million views. Also, in 2008, Dr. Taylor was chosen as one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" and was the premiere guest on Oprah Winfrey's "Soul Series" webcast. Dr. Jill Botle Taylor's latest book Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life is on sale now. This conversation, if it doesn't change your life, please let me know! I was enamored throughout the entire interview with what I learned about our brain, how it functions, and ways to better understand why there can be such discord and challenge within our own thinking and emotional systems. Dr. Jill explains your brain's anatomy in a new way and incorporates a brilliant way to dialogue with the four distinct aspects. You're going to want to read on. Grab a paper and pen, so you too can name your four characters. I've shared our names below. Get ready to have your mind glowin', as I like to say (because who the heck really wants their mind blown). Whole Brain Living Did you know that your left and right brain each have their own amygdala and hippocampi? In Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's book Whole Brain Living, she explains that these are the emotional centers responsible for feelings like anger, frustration, and connection. I had no idea that we have two of each and that each hemisphere has its own little team going on; the thinking tissue and the emotional tissue. You might wonder why this is interesting and how this affects your life; after talking to Dr. Jill, I realized that her research and work is both groundbreaking and crucial to better understanding our own development, way of processing life and emotional thinking, and how to better handle setbacks, anxiety, and tough situations. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's approach is one where we honor, acknowledge and tune into all four areas of our two hemispheres. This is what whole brain living is, and when you understand how powerful you are and the four characters are (see below), you will realize how much choice you have in creating a life that is fulfilling and truly connected to your deepest desires. I was blown away by this discussion, and I think you will be too. The Four Characters Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor has discovered what she calls the Four Characters. These are connected to the emotional and thinking tissue in our right and left hemispheres in our brain. I have outlined each of the four and invite you to give each character a name. Mine are listed below. The left thinking tissue in the left hemisphere - this is the rational thinking part that categorizes language, thinks through things quickly, likes to have control and be the boss, and is the typical 'Type A'. It does well with right and wrong, defines structure and details, and critically analyzes data. Both Dr. Jill and I call ours Helen. I chose Helen after my high school Journalism teacher, who was one of my best teachers and was a high Type A kind of person who was all about rational thinking and thinking critically and quickly. The emotional thinking tissue in the left hemisphere-is where we store emotions from the past and are connected to our limbic cells. The 2nd character is connected to what we know as the 'fight or flight' response and is the zone responsible for feelings and emotions like rage, self-loathing, and anger. Dr. Jill talks about having massive respect for this aspect of your brain as it is the part that clings to the sacred past and future. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor calls this Abby, in connection to the abandoning process when leaving her mother's womb (this will make sense if you listen to the episode), and I call mine Randi, as a metaphor for when I've run or 'ran' away from emotions in the past. The emotional thinking tissue in the right hemisphere - this is our sensory, emotional connection to the present moment. This is a very experiential part of us that wants to stay only in the present and is curious about present experiences like noticing how clothing feels, hearing the birds singing, feeling the sun on your face. This is the adrenaline junkie aspect that wants to experience a tribal, communal, and creative present experience without judgment. For this character, think of joyful and enthusiastic chaos. Dr. Jill calls her 3rd character Pig Pen (love that), and mine is Joy. Would love to know your names! The thinking tissue in the right hemisphere - this is the seat of consciousness and connection to the whole, and deeper relating to the greater Universe. This is where consciousness connects, and we feel into the fact that we're 50 trillion cells as big as the entire Universe. In this area, you can tap into the gratitude and acceptance for being here and honoring that "I am alive". Dr. Jill calls her 4th character Queen Toad (more revealed in the interview), and mine is Queen Lotus. Time for a Brain Huddle A brain huddle is where you get to ask in every moment, what is my next best response for my life to be what I want and for what I want my life to be? Understanding each character, you can literally have a huddle, or chat, with each character to get further insight into how you want to move forward with a decision or way of being. The goal is for all four characters to talk to one another. The power in this model is that you get to choose who you want to be. Slow down, to Go Faster One of my favorite reminders, especially for my Type A folks out there, or our Helens (or whatever you name your character one), is to slow down. Dr. Jill explains that we must slow down to listen and hear what's going on inside and to be able to tap into Character 4, which ultimately is the connector to a greater sense of unity, peace, and deeper connection. One of the best ways to do this is through nature and mindfulness practices. Final Thoughts Getting to know our Four Characters intimately helps us with our emotional thinking, deeper consciousness, and rational thinking. We have to be in touch with all aspects of our brain to live our lives fully and come from a place of balance, happiness, and joy. Pick up a copy of Whole Brain Living today to learn more.

Meet Barbara Huson Barbara Huson (previously known as Barbara Stanny) is the leading authority on women, wealth, and power. As a bestselling author, financial therapist, teacher & wealth coach, Barbara has helped millions take charge of their finances and their best lives. Barbara's background in business, her years as a journalist, her Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology, her extensive research, and her personal experience with money give her a unique perspective and makes her the foremost expert on empowering women to live up to their financial and personal potential. Barbara Huson has been featured on Good Morning America, The View, Extra, The O'Reilly Report, and many times on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, PBS, and NPR, as well as in the New York Times and USA Today. Barbara is the author of 7 books: Prince Charming Isn't Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money Secrets of Six-Figure Women: Surprising Strategies to up Your Earnings and Change Your Life Overcoming Underearning: A Five-Step Plan to a Richer Life Finding a Financial Advisor You Can Trust: A Guide for Investors and Those Who Want To Be Breaking Through: Getting Past the Stuck Points in Your Life Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Miracles, and Rewire for Wealth was just published in January 2021 Barbara Huson talks very openly both in this conversation and in her books about being in a financial fog for the first 45 years of her life. She adopted the belief through her family upbringing that she didn't have to deal with finances or money, only to find out that after her husband left her and the country, that she owed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her former husband was a stockbroker and also a compulsive gambler. Barbara has since learned that if you don't deal with your money, your money will deal with you and has gone on to teach thousands of women about how to create wealth, financial freedom, worthiness, and wellbeing. This was such a rich conversation and I'm excited for you to learn so much of what I've taken away from her many powerful books and teachings. The Secrets of Successful Women with High Earnings Barbara Huson explains how working with successful women who experience financial freedom still struggled with self-doubt. Proving that insecurities exist no matter how high up the ladder a woman may climb. The difference Barbara found is that each of these women felt the fear and did it anyway. They refused to let fear stand in their way of success, knowing that it was part of the equation. Barbara shares that the number one requirement for success and thriving financially is being willing to do what you fear. That is the big secret to financial freedom. The Power of Fear Barbara Huson has a take on fear that I think is incredibly empowering and true. In sum, it is to turn towards the fear and go there. Ask yourself, what are you most scared to do? That's the secret, that one little thing. Follow what scares you most. It is essential to have lots of support so that when that fear rises, and it will rise, you don't let it stop you, but be there to help you push through with your head held high. Overcoming Underearning In Barbara Huson's (previously Barbara Stanny) book Overcoming Underearning: A Five-Step Plan To A Richer Life, she defines underearning as when anyone who needs or desires to earn more but can't despite their best efforts. There isn't a specific number attached to underearning, as you could be underearning at 6-figures. It is reaching a point and being unable to break it no matter what you do. Maybe this is because you feel like what you are doing doesn't feed your soul. Instead, it deprives you of its true purpose, often having the quality of feeling a lack of money, time, and boundaries. Barbara explains how boundaries are crucial to set and should be based on a "hell yes"; otherwise, it's about having the courage to say no. Creating boundaries actually builds your self-esteem instead of encouraging self-doubt. She further explains in her book that problems with money are rarely about money and rather have everything to do with power. Barbara defines power from a new lens and explains that feminine power is about knowing who a woman is, knowing what she wants, and expressing that in the world unapologetically. The Addiction Many of Us Have There's an addiction that many of us have that keeps us from financial freedom-ATBS. ATBS stands for Addiction to Busyness Syndrome. This need to be busy keeps you from feeling inner pain and can be hard driving. It is the over "doing" that you numb yourself to what is really wanting to be birthed in your soul. The antidote is taking time to be, do nothing, and ultimately surrender to your soul's purpose. You must be willing to be quiet, to slow down and to stop the busyness and hear your soul's whisper. This allows the unfolding of your purpose, and from the purpose, your success. How To Find Sacred Success Barbara Huson's book Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Miracles is about pursuing your soul's purpose. This entails doing the outer work, the inner work, the higher work, and the deeper work. It is all about moving from survival to stability (having just enough) to affluence, which allows you to make a more significant difference. Barbara's motto is to pursue your greatness, which is where the deep gladness of your soul's desire meets the deep hunger on the planet. Ultimately, this is about leaving a legacy and deciding how you want to make a difference and how you want to be known after your gone. Rewire for Wealth Rewire for Wealth is Barbara Huson's latest book promoting financial freedom. In Rewire for Wealth, she weaves in neuroscience, spirituality, and psychology to teach a powerful 3-step process to help you rewire your brain for wealth. These 3 steps are: Recognize: Recognize the self-doubt thought with curiosity, and notice that you're having a thought about 'I'm not enough,' not that the thought is the truth of who you are. Recognize that you are separate from the thought. Reframe: Reframe your limiting beliefs. Ask yourself, 'how can I see this differently?' For example, 'there's not enough money' to 'there's plenty of money'. Respond: Respond differently as if the reframe is true. Repeat this over and over and if you can, feel the truth and add the excitement to your voice. Final Thoughts With a bit of work, we can rewire our brains from limiting thoughts and self-doubt to new beliefs that align with our desires, leading us towards success, excellent health, and financial freedom. The secret lies within us if only we take the time to do the work. One of my favorite takeaways: Do what you fear, sacred soul, as that is where your secret treasure lies.

The Trap of People Pleasing If you're listening to this episode, my hunch is that either you or someone you love dearly has struggled with people-pleasing. Here's the thing, my friend, this one has deep roots and can wreak way more havoc than realized. Tune in to hear ways to let go of people-pleasing so that you can bring greater alignment, kindness, and healthy boundaries into your life. I share some of my personal struggles and learnings that I hope help you to make shifts and changes for your highest good. As always, take what you like and leave the rest. The Question To Ask Yourself I have learned that one of my most stealth coping mechanisms since I was a little girl was to make sure I was doing, saying, and acting in a way that would make you happy and feel good. This kind of works-until it doesn't. In addition to it being a highly co-dependent way of being, it blocks you from being your You-est You because this people-pleasing behavior pushes you away from the core parts of you. The question to ask yourself that will help you feel into what you truly desire and align with is 'Is this true for me?' I want to give a huge shout-out to Rev. Frances Fayden (who has been on my podcast twice) for helping me to see this was missing in my own life. This question should be the new compass for all of us recovering people pleasers. After asking yourself this question, you need to get quiet, pause, and feel with your body wisdom what is true for you. Taking on this practice will allow you to build trust, faith, and confidence in your own inner knowing and body wisdom. The power of 'No, thank you.' If you've read this far, I'm thinking we're cut from the same cloth. Saying no has probably been one of the hardest words to say out loud. I remember reading Shonda Rhimes' bestselling book, 'The Year of Yes,' and thought...I do not need a year of saying yes; I need a year of saying NO! I recently interviewed the lovely Kate Northrup, who talked about the power of saying no and doing less. Saying no is not going to feel normal and may be weird at first. At least it didn't feel normal for me. I have learned through tapping into my body wisdom, after asking myself a question about something I'm wavering on, that if I listen and get still, I will have my answer. Most recently, I heard the answer from within, and it was, 'No, thank you.' You can, of course, just say no, as 'no' is a full sentence in itself. I like adding the 'thank you' as it adds an element of appreciation, gratitude, and thanks. For me, this will be the year of no, thank you—such a beautiful way to set boundaries for anyone struggling with people-pleasing. Kindness to yourself Ok, so I know our type - we try to be kind to everyone, often missing the most important person to show true kindness to -- ourselves. In addition to asking yourself, 'Is this true for me,' start incorporating the question, 'Is this kind to me?' Or better said, 'Am I being kind to myself right now?' As we know that all of our outer world reflects our inner world, it's time to start bringing the qualities we want to see 'out there' like radical kindness, compassion, and integrity, to our inner world. Often when we are busy people-pleasing, we forget to put our needs first but pausing to ask yourself these questions can help you set the intention to balance your needs and set necessary boundaries. Final Thoughts Recovering from people-pleasing is a winding road, but with a bit of time and effort (and self-forgiveness), you can teach yourself new, healthier behaviors. Please let me know how you are being more true to your You-est You, what it feels like to say no, thank you, and ways in which you are being more kind to yourself, sweet friend.

Kate Eckman empowers high-achieving individuals to actualize their full potential. She leverages her experience as a well-known communications, performance and mindfulness expert, accomplished entrepreneur, and elite athlete to equip leaders with the tools, methodology, and energetic boost they need to compete and win at the game of life. With a results-driven approach rooted in neuroscience, positive psychology, and whole-person coaching techniques, Kate helps her clients succeed in and out of the boardroom and on and off the field. She guides them to identify who they are beneath their titles and labels, clarity their priorities and values, and then co-create a game plan to get them from where they are now to where they most desire to be … adding in some fun and humor along the way. Kate incorporates a mind-body-spirit approach into her coaching engagements, recognizing that when we take care of our inner world, our outer world takes care of itself. Kate recently led and organized the team behind the launch of QVC's first and only proprietary beauty brand, which made more than four million dollars in sales the first day alone. Known for her incomparable salesmanship, she helps global beauty brands shape their vision, strategy and innovation to inspire the achievement of breakthrough results. Kate earned her B.A. in communications from Penn State University, where she was an Academic All-American swimmer. She received her master's degree in broadcast journalism from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. She graduated at the highest degree from Columbia University's executive and organizational coaching program. Kate is the author of, The Full Spirit Workout: A 10-Step System to Shed Your Self-Doubt, Strengthen Your Spiritual Core, and Create a Fun & Fulfilling Life, which is a workout for your spirit that will help you build strong mental and emotional muscles and get fit on the inside. Passionate about mindfulness practices for both brain and body health, Kate is a meditation teacher and course creator for Insight Timer, the world's number-one ranked free meditation app. It's Time To Redefine Success It's exhausting to pretend that all is always going well and it can feed into an never ending cycle of expecting perfectionism of yourself and others. It's time to redefine success on all levels, which is not about being perfect (doesn't exist anyhow) and is more about showing up the best you can be, in that moment, and being of service to help others. By doing this kind of way of success, you'll connect authentically and also feel less alone or stuck in the perfectionism rut. It's not about toxic positivity and always having to be positive, but more about embracing humanity and allowing yourself to have an off day(s) and sharing that openly with others. The Full Spirit Workout Kate talked about how we all need more time to go within and just like we spend time working out and building our muscles, we need a workout for our spirit; an emotional workout of sorts. This book was a labor of love that she felt was her divine assignment, and a way to teach a new way of being fit; on the inside spiritually and emotionally. It's time we put our wellbeing first and make this a priority. The 5 P's of Self-Confidence These are the 5 P's Kate talks about in her book about how to build more genuine confidence. The root of confidence means 'to trust', so this is really about learning to trust your inner wisdom. Presence: this is about showing up fully connected to your higher self and spirit, and as a full person Patience: trusting all in divine timing and surrendering is part of the importance of patience. Purpose: Show up no matter what and finding what truly drives you Preparation: Prepare, show up and build habits that support your highest good. Practice: get support to stick to your purpose and always keep trying, and practicing We chatted about the bonus P's: Pause: take time to process first and pause before responding to your inner voice or that of someone else's that is unkind or not helpful and Person: be a person who leans into trust. These will all bring you deeper and greater peace. Boost Your Mental Metabolism Just like food turning into energy (calories), your thoughts also turn into energy. You want to choose your thoughts wisely and tap into the power of reframing to look at situations from a new perspective. A great question to ask yourself if feeling stuck, is 'What if?'...as in, what if this is happening for a higher purpose?

As an entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, and mother, Kate Northrup has built a multimedia educational platform that reaches hundreds of thousands globally. She's committed to supporting ambitious women to light up the world without burning themselves out. Kate teaches data and soul-driven time and energy management practices that result in saving time, making more money, and experiencing less stress through her Do Less Planner, her programs, and her books, Do Less and Money: A Love Story. Do Less was named one of the 100 Best Time Management Books of All Time. Kate's work has been featured by The Today Show, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Yahoo! Finance, Forbes, Women's Health, Glamour, and more. Kate lives with her husband and their daughters in Florida. DO LESS For all of you high-achieving, ambitious and uber productive folk out there, this is going to feel very uncomfy. As a recovering overachiever myself, i.e. workaholic, I know firsthand what it's like to measure feelings of worthiness, productivity and what seems like happiness based on your amount of 'doing'. We're here to tell you that this is NOT the route to inner peace, joy or success. Kate talked all about how she was smack in the face with this question during the hardest year of her life when her first baby needed a lot of her attention and all she had was enough energy to feed herself, and her daughter. Interestingly enough, during this time of being less productive was also her most successful year financially. She started to ask herself, 'Who am I if I'm not productive?'. This question changed her life as she started to unpack the myth about needing to be super duper productive to be successful. She started to focus on the 20% of her business that was most important that gets 80% of the results. This is called the Pareto principle, where 80% of the results typically come from 20% of your efforts. She started to see how obsessed our culture is with being busy and that we're immersed in a programming that doesn't value rest. Kate decided to create values that are not based on her productivity, and this is much of what she teaches today. YOUR WORTHINESS IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK As mentioned above, a big ah-ha for Kate, was realizing that her worthiness (and yours as well) is not based on productivity or doing. As girls, many of us were taught that our worthiness was dependent on being pleasing to others. We would please others to prove we exist and are worthy. Until recent, women have been valued for more beyond giving pleasure, having a home and raising a family. Growing up with this kind of belief system left many of us women feeling the need to be people pleasers, have zero boundaries and work at all costs to be seen and successful. In my life, this leads to a total mental, physical and spiritual breakdown. Kate shared about her breakdown story as well. I loved Kate's definition of how she values herself and her time, she said that 'her life is in service of the Divine, of something greater. You can't be of service and there for everyone, we have to start by saying no.' JUST SAY NO For those of us recovering people pleaser (hello!), creating boundaries and saying no to others can feel like poking your eye out with your dinner fork. It's not fun and it takes practice. The problem is that we don't have unlimited hours and we need to start following our own inner navigation system. Kate discussed how she uses her menstrual cycle and the moon in a very beautiful and powerful way to track and create personal policies that help create boundaries around her time and energy. Kate has created a daily energy tracker to see what has worked well, what didn't and focus on her learnings. For example, she realized that one of her favorite ways to spend time off was to go to the beach with her daughters. Today she has Fridays off for beach time with her children. She has created these policies for her business and personal life, and they have allowed her to expand, reach more people and only say yes to what really moves her. Side note, I am grateful to the moon and back that she said yes to this podcast, as this was an absolutely enlightening and delish convo. To take Kate's 8-day free THE NO CHALLENGE, go to https://katenorthrup.com/no (I'll certainly be doing this one!) IT'S TIME TO TRUST YOURSELF When I asked Kate what moved her most and what she felt was her legacy, she said without missing a beat, 'to get women into their bodies to trust themself. Our bodies are wired to give birth and protect life.' It's time to trust ourselves and see that you are the embodiment of the Divine. This is all that truly matters. What we do in the day to day has nothing to do with a life well lived, it's about full embodiment of your sacred gifts, heart and inner calling. Love it, Kate!

Kelly Noonan Gores is the writer, director, and producer of HEAL, a documentary feature about the mind-body connection and our body's innate ability to heal. She also authored the follow up book HEAL which has twice the content of the film. A Los Angeles native, she grew up in front of the camera acting on and off in commercials, TV, and film from the age of 7. In 2012 she started Elevative Entertainment with the intention to create conscious media that informs, inspires, and empowers. She has a passion for psychology, wellness, and spirituality and an insatiable appetite for understanding consciousness. As such, she has spent the last 18 years studying the teachings of luminaries like Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Ernest Holmes, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and many more. Her intention with the documentary is to empower people to take control of their health back and demonstrate that almost anything is possible if we believe it is so. Kelly is a seeker, a meditator, and enjoys traveling, sports, reading and writing. GETTING OVER SELF-DOUBT Kelly shared so openly that while she had dreamt of creating a documentary with her favorite teachers about health, from an integrative perspective, it took years to take action. She talked about Brene Brown's work helping her to move through this voice in her head that can be negative. I loved Kelly's powerful quote that "self-doubt is the original pandemic". You've got to surround yourself with non-egoic people and remember that your heart's desire is here to be fulfilled. We're all so grateful Kelly listened to her heart and pursued her passion as she created one of the most powerful documentaries about the power of our bodies to heal themself. If you haven't yet watched this film, it's a must. She surrounded herself with a small but mighty team who were supportive. She had a clear vision and passion and talked about surrendering to the experience and the Universe's greater plan. Loved this quote, "If your calling is strong enough, follow the chills, messages and signs, and trust that the Universe will provide the pathway to make your calling come to life." YOUR ENERGY IS EVERYTHING Kelly interviews some of our most influential healers, practitioners, physicians, naturopaths, and brilliant scientists, like Dr. Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, Peter Crone (make sure you tune in to my interviews on the You-est You podcast with these three), Anthony Williams, Dr. Joe Dispenza and many others, on the power of our own ability to heal and align to wellness. The book that influenced Kelly the most was The Biology of Belief, by Dr. Bruce Lipton, which in essence states that we're not the victims of our genes. Our thoughts affect our energy and by changing your thoughts and actions, you can change your energy in the electromagnetic field. Another key aspect to understand is that between 0 - 7 years old, we're like sponges downloading other programs from our parents, school, community, religion, etc. At least 70% of this programming is limiting and negative. This then becomes our subconscious programming and what's needed to make real change is breaking the generational patterns. Your genetics are just a blueprint; your prediction of the world will color the lense of looking at life. YOU ARE MEANT TO HEAL We are co-creators with Life. Life will nudge us and tap us on the shoulder. You can listen to the nudge or wait until your wake up call is a disease, a broken bone or an accident. We have a lot more control over our health. It's never your fault for having a disease, it's always created at the subconscious level. The most powerful tools for healing are love and gratitude. Love is the highest healing energy and love is our source. When we align to source energy, we can heal. Don't forget that we are designed for tough times like this. Become aware of your choices and remember that there is powerful intelligence in our body that is a healing energy.
