This episode with Lisa Kaplin is all about getting over the fear of voicing our truth and creating a clear channel of communication. You know something I see constantly with my clients is the fear of speaking up because we're afraid of rejection and something I always say to them is it's not rejection, it's re-direction. As children we were taught to be quiet, fit in, just accept what’s given to us and follow the rules because that’s the respectful thing to do. So as evolved women when we want to speak out, wr second guess ourselves and think, "What if they don’t like me?", "What if I'm not loved?", "What if I'm rejected?" Lisa does a great job explaining how to get out of this mindset so we can feel worthy and deserving and truly just ask for and get what we want. About Lisa Lisa Kaplin is a psychologist and professional certified coach who works with women on building their confidence in all areas of their lives. She believes the least important aspect of a woman is her appearance so she's dedicated to helping women find meaning and joy in other ways. Lisa is a recovered good girl and perfectionist and her life is so much better because of it. In this episode, Lisa shares: How to get clear on your needs. Asking for what you want from a position of power. Understanding your love language and expressing what makes you feel appreciated (link below) What happens when we have expectations that aren’t communicated. What You’ll Hear: 2:02- What it costs us when our needs aren’t communicated. 7:40- The small steps we can take to ask for what we want. 19:00- The difference between being assertive and discerning vs aggressive. 31:28- The extremes of helplessness vs taking on everything.

I loved this episode. One thing we talked about with our group programs and with all of our clients is life is constantly happening for us in perfect timing. When we can step out of that victim mentality of "Life is happening to me" and and "Life is happening for me" it shifts our emotionality and we're able to see and experience more miracles and so we talked a lot about this.

This episode with the lovely Rebecca Niziol is all about recognizing our flow states. Flow is something that’s naturally accessible in our bodies and it feels different for everyone. For Rebecca, it’s the feeling of ease. For me, it’s losing track of time because I’m doing something I'm so immersed in and I totally love. We’re this steady stream of love but as we go through life, we get blocked from the pain, trauma and forced actions we experience. Rebecca explains how we can acknowledge our blocks so we can heal, remove them and get back into our natural state, which is of course flow.

Inside this episode, Rebecca shares Why we're afraid to face our pain and how we can view it in a different way. Why we continually create the loop of feeling stuck and how we can break out of it. How to release the blocks that build up in our natural state of flow.

In this episode with Katie Dalebout we talk about expressing our true selves through journaling. I freaking love journaling and for those of you who are not journalers, journaling is a beautiful way to release the emotionality that’s trapped in our bodies so we can really decipher the difference between what is true and what is not true. So whether we have an idea, need to process an emotion or we just literally need to dump our thoughts down, we can do it in a sacred space without any fear of judgment. Katie really speaks to this and shares how journaling has helped her connect to her higher self.

Inside this episode, Katie shares How journaling allows us to be the observer of our thoughts. Creating more of what we want by having gratitude around what we have. Releasing the fear of uncertainty and saying yes to opportunities.  What you'll hear: 2:23- How journaling inspired Katie to connect to her truth. 7:37- How we can remove our masks and show our true selves. 13:40- The reason why we compare ourselves to other people. 18:58- How to incorporate gratitude into your journaling. 24:00- Allowing uncertainty to be apart of our lives.

In this episode we talk about the mindset of men and how women can support them in cultivating emotional intelligence. He said something really profound, “Women are the permission cards for men’s vulnerability and growth.” I  loved that because it’s not from a place of trying to control, but from us being the example. You know, showing up, being vulnerable, talking about our emotions and processing them in real time. It’s a beautiful dance.
