High Frequency Leadership with Samantha Warren

SIGN UP: CONSISTENCY QUEEN MASTERCLASS: balancewithsam.com/consistency Fear is something we ALL experience, right? It’s an innate, biological response that’s designed to protect us. But what can we do when fear stops us from getting what we want? Our dream career? The incredible relationship? Personal growth? Often fear is what stops us from taking action. We get overwhelmed with fear of not picking the “right” thing to do so we just get stuck in a constant state of frustration. In today’s chat with Ben Harris, aka The Fear Guy, we talked about how fear is actually something beautiful. It’s magic. It reveals where we aren’t free in our lives and creates a space for us to step into our calling and find alignment. It’s a medicine and tool that can heal all parts of us. By showing us where our fears lie, we can embrace our full selves. Fear has so many layers; the physical layer, the mental layer, the emotional air, the spiritual layer, the beliefs layer and, most importantly, the unconscious layer. It sits deep within us and once we can unpack each level, we can transform our understanding. That’s when we learn that embracing fear means there are no “wrong” decisions. We get where are meant to go through realizing the path that fear is taking us on is in alignment with all that we are and all that we can be. Ben has a seriously electric energy and it was amazing to hear his journey from a call center job to holding retreats and coaching others to break through their fears and trust themselves. From wealth and relationships to the incredible power of human design, this ep has everything you need to learn to love your fear!

Today, we are talking all about the EGO.. you know… that sabotaging voice in your head that tells you that you aren't good enough or you shouldn’t invest in yourself even though you’ve been stuck in the same place forever. Doing ego work transformed my life, body, relationships and business. It helped me stop sabotaging my health and my body and gave me the confidence to start a side hustle and then eventually leave my 9-5 and build my business! Ego work is for you if you... struggle with all or nothing thinking you feel stuck and frustrated you tend to take things personally you feel exhausted 24/7 you are an over thinker you’re in toxic patterns with your health After doing ego work you’ll notice: Less sabotage & getting in your own way Less negative self-talk Less triggering experiences Less reacting, blame and frustration A greater understanding of yourself A chance to recreate your beliefs Inner peace, calm, less sabotage It’s where I began my personal development work and it’s changed every part of my life. The Holistic Psychologist was the catalyst for me doing ego work back in 2018 and it’s been such a journey 🙂 I’m so excited to hear what you think! Be sure to screenshot the podcast and tag me on IG (@samaltieri) 💞💞 and tell me your top takeaway!! Catch ya next week :)

You know that expression “The path is created by walking, not waiting”? It’s one of my favorites because, well, it’s true! Life is there for the taking. Everything we want, we can have. But we have to be the ones to take the steps and do the thing. We have to set boundaries to protect our energy. We have to surround ourselves with people who can see what’s possible for us. We have to believe that we are worthy and use our power to create the life we want. I used to be fearful of saying what I wanted to say. I was worried people wouldn’t like it or wouldn’t like me, and they would leave. But then I realized they’re not the people I’m meant to have in my life. I started following my heart. Every time I felt something, I just did it. I did the next thing and the next thing and before I knew it, the world had opened for me. Today I’m talking about how we can learn to let go of what doesn’t serve us and use the power of visualization to get clear on our path and how we want to feel in our lives. We may not be able to see the whole path all the way to the ending, but that’s the beauty of it: we’re not meant to. We can use the power of visualization in our mind’s eye in real life and dreams, set the boundaries we need, and follow our desires. They are the secret roadmap to exactly where we are meant to go. We can’t conceive the magic of it all, but by following our highest excitement and taking back our power, we can’t go wrong.

This week’s episode is SO exciting. Not only is it the first episode back after a 3-month hiatus, but I am reintroducing the podcast’s new name: “Be More Real with Sam Altieri.” This is a mini episode where I share why I needed to take a 3 month break, what happened with my eating disorder in 2020 once COVID hit and I moved in with my now fiancé, and what caused me to gain 15lbs. I also give you a sneak peek into how I stopped bingeing, judging myself and started eating intuitively and being happy in my skin. The podcast is dedicated to my Dad, my biggest mirror and fellow healer. ( love you Dad!) He inspired the new name because when I was younger and brought over some friends who were down to earth, he’d call out how real they were. I didn’t fully understand what that meant until I rediscovered who I was. Now, as my most confident myself, I decided that this is the perfect name for the podcast. PLUS! I now have a YouTube Channel! My channel will be THE go-to place where I will be sharing my own healing journey, more spirituality, and manifestation, as well as my business growth and how to be a successful entrepreneur while maintaining alignment, freedom, and happiness! Be sure to subscribe to my channel and let me know what you think in the comments! This will be the first episode of a kickass 2021. So make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss an episode or chances to be featured on my podcast!

In our final episode of Balance with Sam for 2020, I talk to my amazing coaching clients about manifesting money, how visualizing our desires can help find clarity on our path and the internal shift we can make to embody a queen mindset. Often we can go through life and we're on autopilot. We're doing our thing and we can feel undisciplined and inconsistent. We don't show up for ourselves and we’re all over the place. Moving the queen mindset allows us to be present and in our power. We show up every moment with self-awareness and consistency that creates our wave and embodies our essence. Top Takeaways You are worthy right now. I used to have so many beliefs about who I could be or how far I could go or what I could do. I felt that I wasn’t worthy of success. It’s just not true. You are worthy, deserving, and enough. Right now. Let that sink in. You can also have goals but those goals do not make you any less worthy or enough. Use the mantra “I'm satisfied with where I'm at and eager for more.” You can feel that you are enough right now and also want more. They may happen in different stages, at different paces and in different ways that you could've never ever imagined for yourself. But stop limiting yourself. Think about what you really want and be what you want to attract. You need to be a vibrational and energetic match for the things you desire. If you're always frustrated, complaining, feeling victim, you're going to attract more circumstances like that. If you are feeling grateful, even for the smallest things, you're going to attract more of that. When your energy is high, you attract that. Think about money. Money is always working for you. Progress is always working for you. Clients are always coming to you. Business is always happening for you. Opportunities are always coming for you. Be open to them. Practice visualizing the future. Close your eyes and feel it. When you close your eyes and imagine that thing that you desire and you feel into it, you actually feel it in your body (I get tingles!) That's gratitude. That is the feeling of abundance. Your brain doesn't know the difference between a real thing and an imagined thing. The more you can imagine the thing, the faster you manifest it, the faster it shows up. Trust that money is on its way to you. Trust that your business is growing. Trust that clients are coming. Trust that whatever is happening in your life that you want to happen is coming for you as long as you declare it and know it to be true.

Today’s episode is a training I held with my community on CONSISTENCY 101! During our discussion, I talk about our body’s rhythms and the amazing power of routine and consistency in helping us tune into our needs and honor our body’s natural cues. Your body has so many cycles and rhythms. Your period, sleep, metabolism, digestion and body temperature are all governed naturally by the processes within your body without you needing to lift a finger. Each of those cycles plays an incredibly important role in how we function day to day and when we work with them, we actually can really optimize our calorie burn in our metabolism and decrease our stress. Top Takeaways There is enormous power in finding a consistent routine. Think about your meal times. Do you sometimes skip a meal? Maybe some days you have two meals and others you’ll have five. What would it be like if you knew that you were going to have three meals a day and a snack and you built that into your calendar first before anything else? Creating your meal times as a ritual creates a routine for our bodies that they thrive on. If you know you’ll be eating breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack every day, your body will learn to know what’s next and that creates less stress and energy for your minds. Our bodies are machines. They thrive on routine and predictability. Start developing consistent meal times and consistent meal sizes. Then you can start to either add a little or subtract a little, depending on how you feel. Honor your body’s hunger and fullness cues and. You'll notice when enough is enough. Skipping meals creates a scarcity mindset and triggers a sense of urgency to eat to prevent future hunger. We end up overeating because we might not be sure when we’ll be able to eat again or when we’ll have time to eat again. It’s important to remember that biologically, your body doesn’t know the difference between an elongated time between meals and actual starvation. Tweak your schedule to find that time to eat. Set boundaries for yourself throughout the day and carve out the time intentionally. If you know you have more time to eat lunch than dinner, then make sure you take an actual lunch break and eat mindfully. Humans are not meant to work eight hours a day with no break. Chill out, eat your lunch and then go back to work. Listen and honor what your body wants to do. If you’ve found your sleep pattern has changed or you’re now hungry at different times throughout the day, respect what your body is trying to tell you.

In this episode, I talk with Le’nise Brothers, a registered nutritionist, yoga instructor and founder of Eat, Love, Move. She’s an expert in women's health and well-being determined to help women fix their period pain. Growing up in Toronto, Le’nise saw her mom continually have very heavy, very painful periods and experienced the same thing when she started menstruating. Having grown up thinking it was normal, she watched her friends having light periods with barely any pain and started to think, “Why don’t I have that?” This started her journey to figure out why she was experiencing the pain she was. After trying the pill, supplements and a number of other methods, she eventually figured out a way of eating that calmed her body down during her period. She then went back to university and trained as a registered nutritionist, specializing in women’s health and menstrual cycle hormones. Top Takeaways Start to honor the menstrual phases: menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation and the luteal phase. Start tracking your menstrual cycle and learn what affects it. It can be as simple as knowing when your period starts and when it ends or you can make it as detailed as you want it to be. It's really important to know that not everyone has a 28 day menstrual cycle and that the days will change. Tune into your body and understand what impacts your cycle. For example, stress is a huge factor. We’ve been taught that a certain amount of stress is normal so when you start tracking your cycle, you need to be really honest with yourself about how much stress you are actually under. While your diet can have a negative impact on your cycle, it’s not about restricting what you’re eating or removing foods. Le’nise works with her clients from a place of adding their diet, not taking away. Being a woman in this world, we get taught to restrict, to minimize, to try to reduce ourselves and this creates toxic patterns around so many areas of our lives, especially around food. When you start saying, “I'm going to add this”- it really changes your mindset around food. Period pain isn’t “normal” and you don’t have to stay in that place of frustration and pain. It’s something that anyone who has a period is taught to accept as a part of life and it is common but that doesn’t make it normal. If you’re experiencing period pain, this is your chance to take ownership of tha. Turn inward and ask yourself, “What can I do about this?”

Today’s episode of Balance With Sam is another snippet from a recent call with my amazing clients! We discuss eating over the holidays, the value of high quality foods and whether it’s better to just eat the food you’re craving (hello pizza!) or trying to make a healthier alternative. Top Takeaways If you're struggling with satisfaction around your meals, think about what foods you really loved growing up. Figure out what that food is and really eat them. Buy the highest quality ingredients and be mindful. Breathe while eating. Breathe before. Breathe during. Breathe after. You’ll notice you’ll only need one or two pieces as opposed to the ten you would’ve had (and still not have been satisfied!). Notice how the slowing down paired with the quality ends up actually giving you permission to eat the things you love, not go overboard and not overeat things that aren't really doing it for you. Start caring that everything you put in your mouth is the highest quality. If you're going to eat the donut, eat the high quality donut. If you're going to eat ice cream, eat high quality ice cream. Often if you find it difficult to buy the highest quality foods, it’s a pattern that shows up elsewhere in your life. For example, your wardrobe or where you go out to dinner.  If you buy the high quality versions, you won't have to buy it again because you’ll be satisfied. Eat what you love. As one of my mentors recently said, our relationship with food is often a lens into learning about yourself. It’s one of our greatest teachers. Often when we’re at social gatherings, we think to ourselves “What is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about food all the time?” It’s easy to get frustrated at yourself. If you notice that happening, take a step back and be grateful for that problem. Because without that problem, you wouldn't be seeking out help and support to figure out who you really are. It gives you the opportunity to turn inwards. That’s what all this work is. It’s your empowerment!

Today’s episode of Balance WIth Sam is a recording of a recent group coaching call with my girls! We talk about one of the most important parts of finding freedom from food, how to become more intune with your body and the parallels between your bank account and your body! Top Takeaways The only purpose of food is to satiate hunger and for our health. That’s it. If we’re not eating for these reasons, we’re using it as a way to fill our lives when something is missing. Whether it be something in a relationship or in our work, we use food to fill a void. Start practicing, listening, turning, inwards, asking yourself why you are eating. Are you really hungry? Or is it something else? Focus on and trust your intuition. Our bodies already have cues we need. It has the fullness cue that knows when it’s had enough. It has the hunger cue to let us know when it needs fuel. But sometimes we're just so disconnected from our bodies because we've been in our heads for so long that we have no idea. We make decisions based on what we've been told or what we believe. “I don’t deserve this” or “I’m not worthy”. But when you listen to our body, you open yourself up to being able to hear people when they say that you are enough and know that it’s true. Notice when you are avoiding and challenge it. One of the areas of my life that always caused a lot of anxiety was my bank account and I see this a lot in my clients. It’s the avoidance attachment pattern. For example, when your relationship with money is not as healthy as you would want it to be, it's easier to not look at it. It’s easier to not deal.  But it's not going to get any better if we don't face it. It's the same with what you put in your body. It’s easier to not observe and be mindful of what we eat but it doesn’t make us feel good. When you avoid, you don't fail but you can't make it better. One thing is how you do everything. If you are intentional with your eating, you're going to be intentional with your spending, with your communication, with your relationship, the sex you have and the clothes you buy. You're just going to be intentional. Remember, you have the power. You can take it one little baby step at a time. You’ve got the choice. Choose the woman you want to be over the woman you were.

Today’s mini-episode of Balance With Sam is a snippet from a recent group coaching call I had with my girl gang! We talked about the upcoming holiday season and discuss steps and practices they can incorporate throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays to stay in control of their binging and enjoy themselves at the same time. Ensuring you have an intentional relationship with food opens you up to the information food gives us. Certain foods will make you feel satisfied and full. Some foods will make you feel crap. Tune into how your body responds to the food and the information it gives you. This will give you a guide as to how to navigate your eating through the holiday period. Top Takeaways When you want to eat chocolate cake, make it worth it. Eat some really good chocolate cake and enjoy it. Don't settle for something you don’t really want. It won’t satisfy you and because you won’t really enjoy it, you might end up going overboard on a food that you didn’t really want to begin with. Practice mindfulness. Especially during Thanksgiving, there’s going to be things at the table that are going to be outside of your control. Your only goal is to be mindful. Be mindful of the decisions that you’re making. Be mindful of what you’re eating. Think about what your boundaries are and what your relationship with food is. Know which foods don’t really do it for you but also which foods trigger you, which ones will set you off. Be intentional and mindful. At the beginning of the day, visualize what it’s going to be like for you at the end of the day. How did the day go? Imagine the highest version of yourself and think about what she ate. What did she drink? What can you do throughout the day to end it feeling good? Most importantly, remember Thanksgiving is just another meal and move into the abundance mindset. You can have those foods at any time. That mindset of “Oh I binge every Thanksgiving” is the past you. The past does not dictate your future. This is now. You get to create your reality this Thanksgiving, Remember, you are in control of you.
