The You-est You® Podcast

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.

There's a lot of energy going on right now between our all being a little over a year into the pandemic, feeling out how to best care for our bodies and those we love, and how to boost our immunity and keep our spirits high. In this episode I share ways to tune more carefully into your heart's inner wisdom and how to come from love versus fear, no matter what is going on. RELEASE YOUR TRIGGERS: I share my practice in how to identify triggers, see what's really going on underneath the surface and how to let your heart share what you really need to heal. This journaling practice has been transformative and a game changer for greater healing. SELF CARE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE Self-care is not selfish, it's the opposite. It's time to start rewiring the way you look at caring for yourself; mind, body and spirit. We are a triune being, needing attention, care and nourishment for all three of these aspects of ourself. You are worthy and deserving of full self-care and time to nurture your full self. WE NEED YOU IN YOUR HEART If we want to change the consciousness of this planet, it starts with you and I learning to gravitate and get comfy staying in our heart, i.e. in love versus fear. Practice by putting your hand on your heart and asking what it is that is the most loving thing you can do at that moment. Start to train yourself to be heart-centered in all aspects of life. It's not only possible, it's how we are wired at birth.

Meet Christine Kane Before Christine Kane founded what became a multi-million dollar coaching company, she spent fifteen years in the music industry, producing seven CDs and a DVD on her own label while touring the globe over 200 days a year. She shared the stage with luminaries like John Mayer, The Beach Boys, Los Lobos, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin. Her success as a singer-songwriter had fans asking how she did it while staying true to her art and her soul. Those backstage questions turned into weekend retreats. Those retreats turned into coaching requests - and set her on a new path. In 2010, Kane opened Uplevel You, a company that serves the ever-growing class of sensitive, idea-driven, aggression-averse entrepreneurs (a class she counts herself a member of). She has really worked to change the definition of entrepreneur. Her work has attracted more than 125,000 loyal email subscribers and has coached thousands of clients into the six and seven figures in their businesses. She has spoken at events from the Martha Beck annual conference to the iconic Emerging Women event. Today, Christine leads a small yet mighty team at Uplevel World Headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina. I loved Christine's raw authenticity, soulful slant on life and business, and the beautiful combination of owning her power and humility. I was quite inspired by Christine's decision to leave her successful singing and performing career to follow the nudges of her soul to help sensitive, creative and ambitious entrepreneurs integrate the delicate balance of soul and strategy. If this resonates even a little bit, you're going to love this interview. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and get ready to hang with Christine and me for a cozy and delicious conversation. The 3 A's We talked about the importance, especially for those 'quick start' high energy types, to pause before any talk, engagement, activity, or even a meal to get clear on your intention. Christine shared her soulful intention, the 3 A's, as she calls it, where she wishes awakeness, awareness, and abundance for all involved. I loved these 3 A's and thought they might inspire you as well. Soul + Strategy Christine Kane's book, The Soul-Sourced Entrepreneur, both goes into her personal story as well as the frameworks she teaches to help what she calls the 'highly creative, secretly sensitive and wildly ambitious' to excel, succeed and build a career and life that comes from both strategy and the soul. This is not just about having a great mindset, as what's often overlooked is connecting with the richness and lessons from our soul. This book and words of wisdom are for the new class of entrepreneurs who want to incorporate soul-filled wisdom and honor some of the most significant overlooked assets: intuition, sensitivity, and creativity. Don't Tolerate Mediocrity. Listen to Your Soul. We have to start learning to tell the truth, meaning our own personal truth. As human beings, we want to fit in, and sometimes when listening to your soul's calling, it will have you take a different course than expected. Christine shares her experience of this after realizing she didn't want to be a renowned singer and performer and instead felt called to serve in a different way through coaching and guiding others. If you simply tolerate your life because it feels comfortable or you're scared of what others think, just realize that it will only get worse to keep accepting a life you don't absolutely love. Tapping into your truth will help you get tuned in and stop deflecting what your soul knows to be right for you. Being able to release these fixed mindsets and listen to your soul is what will move you towards your higher calling. Living a Soul Sourced® Life Christine shared her ways of staying in alignment with her best self, which has a different look to it than in years past. Her daily routine of self-connection is about finding time to meditate (but not being rigid about it). Also, embodying that every day is sacred, reading something spiritual, and offering prayers to remember who she is. She makes time to lift weights to stay physically strong and shows up as present as possible. Doing silent meditation retreats and other inner work have been game-changers for her life. Today she welcomes the natural ebbs and flows of being her most authentic self. Being your You-est You® As Christine describes it, it's a natural way of being and an organic way to navigate the world. Start by trusting your life and soul. It will all show you where to go. 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. Please share your wisdom, comments, and thoughts, and I would love to hear what motivates you as we move towards the second quarter of 2021.

Meet Leon Logothetis Leon Logothetis is a humanitarian, best-selling author, and cause-adventurer. He is the host of the Netflix series "The Kindness Diaries", where he circumnavigated the globe on his vintage yellow motorbike "Kindness One," giving life-changing gifts along the way to unsuspecting good Samaritans. All of this while relying solely on the kindness of strangers. In February 2019, a second season of the series was released, this time with Leon traveling from Alaska all the way to the bottom of Argentina. The show is currently being streamed on Netflix in 190 countries Leon's greatest passion is combining adventures with great, meaningful causes. He teamed up with First Book® and drove a car from London to Mongolia, raising money to buy 10,000 books for underprivileged children. He drove a vintage London taxi across the states, giving free cab rides to the needy and working with Classwish to bring hope back to schools. He has collaborated-for-a-cause on web-series for Southwest Airlines, Little Things, and Trivago, garnering millions of views and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for those in need. Leon has documented his travels for numerous media outlets, including Good Morning America, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Outside, Good, Psychology Today, and The New York Times. His best-selling books "Amazing Adventures of a Nobody", "The Kindness Diaries", "Live, Love, Explore," and "Go Be Kind" are in stores now. Where Kindness Begins Leon Logothetis started this inner journey after waking up realizing he had everything on the outside but felt empty on the inside. He decided to dedicate his life to finding his authentic self and essentially "unlearn everything we were taught." This is a great question to ask yourself, what would be helpful to unlearn so that you can feel even more connected to your You-est You? Where can you begin to be more kind? To interject random acts of kindness into your life? How can you be more intentional and speak words of kindness daily? We have to train ourselves to live more purposefully in a kind manner, not just to others but also to ourselves. Expanding Empathy Some of the most powerful takeaways from our conversation: Your life is not about living someone else's dream. Spend time in stillness, in nature, and silence to hear your own dream. The secret sauce of kindness is empathy. There is no problem being as successful, wealthy, or famous as you can be. Just make sure you are basing everything on empathy, kindness, and compassion. There needs to be a bigger purpose in fulfilling any dream, goal, or desire. Find that bigger purpose, and hold close to it. Leon shared that he was a bit doubtful at the beginning of his expedition from Alaska to Argentina until he heard his inner wisdom say, "You are doing this because others will be inspired to be kind." This larger 'why' helped him in difficult times of doubt and fear during the rest of his trip. True wealth is in your heart. Never forget that. No material wealth can come close to the wealth that lives in you right now. Hoping you were as inspired by Leon's experience, strength and wisdom as I was. Share how you will find more ways to be kind to yourself and to others! Sacred Connection As always, this community is a sacred, safe place built on love and acceptance.

Tune in every Tuesday morning for an empowering interview with a thought leader, entrepreneur, or deeply inspirational human being who will give you a peek inside their journey to finding purpose on the planet and becoming their most authentic selves. You'll walk away with powerful tools, strategies, and nuggets of wisdom to overcome challenges and initiate important breakthroughs in your own life.

Meet Selena Soo Selena Soo is a publicity and marketing strategist for visionary entrepreneurs, experts, and authors who want to reach millions with their message. She's helped clients and students get featured in places like O, The Oprah Magazine, Forbes, and Inc. while landing interviews on popular podcasts and national TV. Many of Selena's clients have become industry leaders with 6 and 7-figure businesses, raving fan bases, and hundreds of thousands of followers. Her signature approach comes down to building powerful and long-lasting relationships with influencers and the media in a thoughtful, authentic way. A former New Yorker, Selena now lives by the beach in beautiful Puerto Rico. You Can Impact Millions One of the things I love about Selena is how genuine and caring she is. She spoke so openly and vulnerably about being in an abusive relationship and how isolating it was. Selena recently shared her story in a very public and brave way to help other women who have experienced a similar kind of trauma. The full article can be read HERE. (LINK HERE IN SHOW NOTES: https://selenasoo.medium.com/i-was-in-an-emotionally-abusive-relationship-even-as-a-smart-and-successful-woman-8804ffe58cc9) One of the gifts of sharing your story through the portal of media and publicity is the ability to help, serve, inspire and impact millions. Selena's strength and the gift of being a super-connector and media strategist aided her own courageous choice to share her story. Selena gave us a fantastic quote that spoke volumes of truth, "People aren't looking for more information. People are looking for inspiration." Sharing your story can be insightful and inspiring for others who may be walking the same path but be several steps behind you. Why Publicity Is So Important Like Selena, I also believe you have a story that is worth sharing. Whether it's to reach more people you would like to serve, grow your audience, inspire many more people, or help others in need, publicity is the best way to extend your reach and serve in a much bigger way. If your heart is calling you to make a more significant impact in the world, it is time to listen so you can reach millions. Selena Soo reminds us that even if you are introverted or a heart-centered, highly sensitive person, there is a place for you in the publicity world. She is an introvert, and while it was a struggle in the beginning, Selena learned ways to adapt and work with who she innately was. Publicity Hacks & Don'ts When looking to gain publicity, there are some basic dos and don'ts. Keep in mind that you don't need a huge platform to pitch the media or do interviews. You do need to focus on your main topic and offers. Selena explains that you'll want to be thoughtful and strategic about your focus, especially if you have multiple offerings. Don't pitch topics. Instead, pitch story ideas in an exciting headline format. When pitching your story, describe your idea with a few bullet points so it's clear and concise. Less Is More I talked to Selena about how she grew to a 7-figure business in such a short amount of time. I loved her answer. Less is more, don't get caught in the shiny object syndrome. Simplify and stay focused. Eliminate whatever is not your essential heart-centered offering. Pour your attention into what you're doing. Stay laser-focused and create excellence in one area. Build connected and genuine relationships that you can build upon. Take action with your fears, so you don't let your worries drive your action. When Selena talked about getting focused on that "one thing," she recommended the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg Mckeown. This one keeps coming up, so obviously, it's a must-read! Selena graciously offered an amazing gift, which you can get at juliereisler.com/publicity.

Rev. Frances Fayden is an Interfaith Minister, an Energetic Success Coach, and co-founder of the Magnify Your Miracles membership. A master intuitive healer and spiritual counselor, Frances is fluent in the language of the human energy field known as the chakra system and can quickly translate energetic information to help her clients heal & transform. In 2012, Frances had a profound encounter with Mother Mary, which changed the direction of her life and awakened her life purpose. She has been channeling messages from Mother Mary ever since. She loves working with Highly Sensitive Souls who have a big vision and mission yet are seeking validation and personal guidance with their next steps. Frances says, "By incorporating Mother Mary's guidance along with feedback from your own energy field, and then applying the Universal Laws of Manifestation, miracles can occur." She is the author of the books Meditation is Friendship with God and How to Recognize God. Her passion is connecting people to the unconditional love of the Divine and then teaching them how to magnify that connection, which is the key to Magnifying Your Miracles. What Does it Mean to Be Sensitive? Sensitivity is a spectrum. We all have some level of sensitivity. Often highly sensitive people are very in tune with energy, be it a person's energy or the energy of a space, home, building, or even city. Those who are highly sensitive are often highly creative and have a high level of awareness, and tend to notice things that might go undetected. Self-care is crucial for those who are higher on the sensitivity spectrum, as is having plenty of time for healing and self-care practices. Finding Your Comfort Zone Rather than trying to push yourself out of your comfort zone, find out how you want to expand your comfort zone. Most spiritual entrepreneurs and highly sensitive people need a different way to bring forth their vision or run a business. The healing path of success is about being kind to yourself, building confidence through seeing what's working and what isn't, and most importantly, knowing your worth. Rather than shocking your system by trying to go too far out of your comfort zone, remember the mother nature metaphor of pregnancy, which is about a slow shifting of capacity and expansion, one day at a time. Celebrate All Little Successes We tend to want the big wins now, but this is not how sustainable change and growth happens. Start celebrating your little successes now and watch as your capacity to receive, grow and succeed increases. As Rev. Frances said, "you shouldn't have to hurt yourself to succeed." The Mantra That Will Change Your Life If you want greater freedom in your life, the key is forgiveness. Most importantly, forgiving yourself is crucial. One of the messages Rev. Frances channeled was from Archangel Zadkiel, who shared that one of the most powerful mantras you can say to yourself is, "I forgive". You don't even have to know who you are forgiving or why. There is no reason even to be specific as to what you are forgiving. Using it as a general statement and intention will tell your subconscious that you are ready to forgive on all levels.

This solo episode was recorded with lots of heart and the intention of helping you to better understand the toxic effects of judgment and the healing elixir of forgiveness and connection. Really this is about how to stop judging yourself (you know who you are) and giving yourself the grace and space to be on the human journey here to learn and grow from all experiences. If you prefer a visual version, do check my episode out on YouTube, where all episodes are posted.) The Surprising Effects of Judgment *Judgment is one of the most toxic chemicals. Take time for a sacred pause to feel to heal, and let go of judgment of yourself. * Share authentically with someone you trust whatever is most uncomfortable. Don't let judgment of yourself get in the way. * Doing an inventory of stored up feelings like anger, resentment and frustration is an excellent way to give space to what's going on below the surface. The important part is not to judge yourself or any feeling that emerges. All is well. * The healing will happen in your feeling and in revealing how you feel. *The ego lives in fear and judgment. You and I are either in fear or love. * The acronyms to remember: EGO (Edging God Out) and FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) The Power of Forgiveness * We are all made of energy. Unexpressed emotions remain as stored up energy in your cells and can lead to deeper frustration, resentment, stress, despair and even illness. * Forgiveness, first for yourself, and then for others, is a powerful way to change your own internal energy. * Look for the bigger picture and a wider lens of whatever is needing your forgiveness. Imagine your listening to a friend tell you what you are working on forgiving yourself for. Extend the same grace you'd give a friend, to yourself. * Warning: The act of forgiving yourself (and others) will change your life. Enjoying the show?
