And that’s when her whole life changed course.

In her first month in business, Emily earned $442. She then went on to hit 6 figures before her 30th birthday, and—after just 18 months—successfully scaled what she'd started to a multi-million dollar empire.

In a deeply insightful conversation on the I Heart My Life Show with Emily Williams, Victoria Song shares her journey from venture capitalist to a transformational coach and author. She discusses how she helps clients break free from limiting beliefs by bending reality to achieve the impossible. Her approach, rooted in subconscious rewiring and expansive thinking, has helped individuals create breakthroughs in business, health, and relationships.

Victoria emphasizes that many people unconsciously "bend reality" in negative ways, focusing on fears and limiting beliefs. Her method involves shifting from contraction to expansion through techniques like celebrating small wins, cultivating joy, and rewiring old patterns of thinking. By living in a constant state of expansion, her clients experience tangible results such as creating innovative technologies, achieving Olympic-level success, and making millions.

One of the key takeaways from Victoria’s work is that success is not about struggle or sacrifice; instead, it’s about leaning into joy and creating alignment between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Her concept of bending reality involves teaching people to step into their power and consciously design their lives by raising their personal "thermostat" of what they are willing to receive—whether it's money, love, or career opportunities.

Through this engaging interview, Victoria and Emily invite listeners to see their life through a new lens and take steps toward their most expansive, joy-filled life.

Key Takeaways: * Contracted vs. Expansive States: Identifying whether you're in a state of contraction or expansion is key to transforming your mindset and reality. * Live in Expansion: Choose joy, celebration, and gratitude as your default states of being to attract bigger opportunities and success. * Rewire Limiting Beliefs: Release old patterns and raise your "upper limit" of what you allow yourself to receive. * Mission over Money: When you focus on making an impact, financial success follows naturally.

In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I had the pleasure of hosting Asha, a periodontist and dentist by profession, who is currently on a journey of self-discovery and finding her voice. Our conversation revolved around the importance of letting go of societal expectations and following one's heart.

The Journey of Self-Discovery Asha's journey of self-discovery is a testament to the power of introspection and personal growth. She emphasized the importance of letting go of preconceived notions of what the future should look like, and instead, focusing on the present. She advised listeners to follow their hearts first and then let their brains guide them in the right direction.

Asha is currently in a space of self-discovery and finding her voice, particularly in discussing topics that are often not talked about, especially among women. She highlighted the tendency to define ourselves by our professions and encouraged listeners to explore who they are beyond their careers.

Seeking Help and Healing Asha's journey wasn't without its challenges. She realized that she needed help and reached out to trusted friends, therapists, and spiritual teachers. She talked about the process of healing her inner child and detaching from societal conditioning and expectations.

One of the major life changes she made was ending a long-term relationship. She emphasized the importance of giving oneself permission to grow and evolve, even when it means making difficult decisions.

Embracing Authenticity and Facing Fear Asha discussed the fear and uncertainty she faced when making the decision to change her relationship and the impact it had on her life. She emphasized the importance of authenticity and surrendering to the unknown.

She also talked about the fear of judgment and the guilt she felt as a mother, but ultimately realized that her own happiness was important. She shared how letting go of fear opened up new opportunities and brought her closer to people who were aligned with her true self.

The Power of Vulnerability and Self-Love Asha acknowledged that not everyone understood her choices, including some close friends, but she learned to prioritize self-love and accept that not everyone will be on the same journey. She also highlighted the power of vulnerability and the healing it brings, especially when sharing personal experiences on a public platform.

Breaking Cultural Stigmas As someone from an Indian background, Asha acknowledged the cultural challenges and stigma surrounding divorce but emphasized that personal growth and happiness should be prioritized. She discussed the challenges of divorce within the Indian community and the shame and stigma associated with it.

Despite her fear of how her parents and the community would react to her decision, she decided to break the silence and share her story through writing a book and speaking publicly about her experiences.

Final Thoughts In response to my final question, Asha advised listeners to let go of expectations and be present. This conversation with Asia was a powerful reminder of the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and the courage to follow one's heart. It's a journey that may not be easy, but it's certainly worth it.

In this episode, our host, Emily Williams, sits down with Meghna Dassani, a practicing dentist from Houston, Texas. Meghna's work goes beyond just teeth - she specializes in treating and managing sleep apnea in both adults and children.

In this conversation, Meghna shares her personal journey and the pivotal moment that inspired her to delve into the world of sleep apnea. It all started with the loss of her father-in-law to this condition, which prompted her to seek answers and find a way to prevent her own family from experiencing such a tragic loss. As Meghna dug deeper, she discovered that sleep apnea is far more common than we realize. It can affect not only adults but also children, who often go undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness. She discusses the telltale signs to look out for in children, such as bedwetting, fatigue, and behavior issues. Sleep apnea occurs when a person repeatedly stops breathing for 10 seconds or longer during sleep. This interruption in breathing causes oxygen deprivation and puts strain on the heart. The consequences can be significant, ranging from high blood pressure and diabetes to stroke and even early onset Alzheimer's. Meghna's insights shed light on the interconnectedness of sleep health and overall wellbeing. Meghna also shares the treatment options available, both for adults and children. She explains how her practice has successfully integrated sleep apnea management and presents hope for those seeking relief and improved quality of life. Whether you have personal experience with sleep apnea or are simply curious to learn more about this hidden danger, this episode is a must-listen. So grab your favorite beverage, a notebook, and tune in to hear Meghna and Emily dive deep into the world of sleep apnea. You don't want to miss out on this eye-opening discussion….

In an inspiring episode of Emily Williams’s ‘I Heart My Life Show,’ Blair Jones offers a glimpse into her captivating journey – a unique weave of challenges and victories that captured the hearts of listeners. Blair affirmed her place as a black sheep in her family and life, showing the extraordinary power of going against the norm to discover a path filled with abundance and joy.

The reality of Blair’s entrepreneurial journey wasn’t without resistance. From the skeptical outlook of her mom, an unpredictable journey to financial success, to the struggle for self-acceptance in an increasingly judgmental society, Blair’s journey unmasked the truths often hidden behind successful network marketing entrepreneurs. However, her resilience surpassed all the familial resistance, eventually retiring her mom with the prosperity she garnered from her efforts.

Blair beautifully depicted herself as a trailblazer who takes pride in forging a unique path away from the conventional crowd. She refused to be tamed by societal expectations and instead channeled her energy into manifesting her dreams. For her, success was a combination of a positive mindset, direct action, and being genuine in a pursuit filled with uncertainty and high risks.

Blair’s journey wasn’t an overnight transformation. It took seven years for her to reach her initial income goal. Speaking about this journey, Blair candidly expressed her struggle to balance her success with the fear of losing it all. Yet, through these challenges, she found nourishment in recognizing her worthiness and understanding that achieving her dreams requires an achiever’s mindset.

In the world of network marketing, Blair sees it as a boundless field accessible to all, regardless of education or background. Interestingly, women, who compose 75% of millionaires in network marketing, have a significant role in this industry. Another remarkable fact Blair shared is that 90% of millionaires have some residual income, a unique opportunity offered by network marketing.

She also believes in the transformative power of self-care, dedicating time to biohacking and nurturing the mind, body, and soul. On her path to balance pursuing her dreams and maintaining a grounded life, Blair incorporated points of pause – such as mindfully enjoying a meal or taking a moment to unwind by watching TV. This practice became a crucial part of her daily routine, allowing her the space to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with herself.

Talking about her relationship with her husband, she highlighted the importance of open conversations and clear boundaries. She found that setting goals together, including weekly love meetings and dedicated family time, helped her and her spouse stay connected and effectively manage their dreams.

Whether combing through the forms of resistance she faced or basking in the overflow of her achieved goals, Blair’s story painted the spectrum of entrepreneurship in true detail. By sharing her obstacles, achievements, beliefs, and practices, she truly encapsulated the essence of an empowered, determined, and fulfilled entrepreneur; redefining success in her own terms.

In conclusion, Blair Jones’s captivating episode on ‘I Heart My Life Show’ reaffirms that personal achievements are not dictated by societal norms or expectations. Instead, they are constructed through self-belief, perseverance, and the courage to create our own uncharted paths. Thank you, Blair, for your inspiring story of harnessing hope and taming fears to create a fulfilling life. You truly embody the power of non-negotiables for success in business and life.

Quotes: The Art of Friendship: "Keep your mouth shut, Monica. Be quiet until asked and become really good at listening."— Monika Zands

Navigating Relationship Dynamics: "One of the things we got really clear of probably about ten years into our marriage, and we've been married 22 years, but together 30. So about ten years into our marriage, we started saying, hey, I don't want to make an assumption that who you've always been is who you are today. So there are going to be times when I think you'll do this, but I'm going to still ask, and I want you to know that I'm simply asking to honor you."— Monika Zands

"Balancing Family and Business: 'Okay, can we breathe?' Even if it gets a little scary, because we're spending a lot of the focus time on our daughter because the clock is ticking."— Monika Zands

Butterflies and the Beauty of Life: "I said to Jan, what a beautiful reminder and metaphor for life that we every season has its day by day nuances. That one day there were no butterflies, and the very next day there's thousands of butterflies coming out of their cocoons. And what if we could relate to each other? Like, who's the you I'm meeting today? And how do I nurture what we need to have a beautiful reflection, like gratitude at the end of a day?"— Monika Zands

Love Languages and Communication:"We have very different love languages. I'm an Acts of Service love language, and he's a words of affirmation. So what fills him and has him feel reassured is not the same as what fills me."— Monika Zands

The Power of Awareness: "But the awareness knows the need doesn't need to be met to feel whole."— Monika Zands

The Power of Inner Resources: "Everyone was born with their own inner resources to do the work they need to do."— Monika Zands

Deeper Sense of Breathing: "When I listen to these recordings, it stops me because the whole premise of these recordings is the distinction of the wanter and the longing and the more and the not enough. And the observer of all is well, and how cute or how sweet or how tender of that girl who's doing those things. And when I can see both of those sides of me, this beautiful walk between both, actually, it strengthens and softens my nervous system. So I'm not having the natural stress response. I'm actually going into a deeper sense of breathing."— Monika Zands

Ping Pong in Relationships: "And what tends to happen is we were modeled by our parents or modeled by whoever did relationship around us that someone's right and someone's wrong."— Monika Zands

The Power of Personal Transformation: "We are human experiences and expressions and we're a divine being working through this Earth school."— Monika Zands

In this episode, I'm joined by the fantastic Lizzie Langston, a postpartum coach and mom of three (soon to be four!) children.

Lizzie is a passionate advocate for postpartum wellness and has developed her own coaching practice to support moms through their journeys. She brings a holistic and spiritual approach to her work, incorporating various modalities to empower women in their transformation.

After stumbling upon Lizzie's podcast myself (not too long after having my daughter) I knew I wanted to get her on this show to discuss all things postpartum.

As a new mom myself, I'm blown away by what I didn't know to expect even with a midwife, doula, and friends and family in my corner.

Lizzie is such an incredible resource for moms and moms-to-be, and I'm grateful that she's here to be a voice for those of us who experience challenges and ups and downs in the postpartum period (which she believes is for your entire lifetime after having a baby!).

On today's episode, Lizzie shares her personal journey of experiencing postpartum anxiety and depression after the birth of her third baby.

She opens up about feeling alone and unseen, highlighting the importance of checking in on postpartum women and letting them know they are valued, even when society may not recognize their efforts.

Lizzie's story is a powerful reminder that it's okay to ask for help and take action without waiting for instructions.

We also discuss the significance of understanding yourself, facing the shadow self, and embracing self-love for healing and self-acceptance.

Hope you love it!

Quotes

Postpartum Depression: "And so it was actually a sister-in-law that said, I think this is postpartum depression, and I think you need to go see someone."— Lizzie

Postpartum Depression: "My trend was that my anxiety was sort of the beginning. My anxiousness took over, and then it led into depressiveness. I think the anxiety just burns women out."— Lizzie

The Power of Coaching: "So coaching actually my first experience with coaching didn't teach me anything about the nervous system. I picked that up later as I had a sense I just knew postpartum women needed to get into the body level, not just the talk stuff. But I think what I loved about it was that it gave me my power back and it said, hey, your thoughts are contributing to the way you're responding with your kids."— Lizzie

Psychoneuroimmunology: "Your emotional state can actually be manifested through physical symptoms, diseases, discomfort, everything from a throbbing shoulder pain issue to a thyroid disease or cancer or things like that."— Lizzie

Healing the Shadow Self: "The parts of you that you don't like and you're ashamed of...we shame it away so deeply...journey back to your whole self and it's total unconditional self-acceptance...we're so dedicated to the roles and responsibilities and the duties of motherhood...we don't want to deal with or see the parts of ourselves that we don't want to see, that we're ashamed of...your whole self wants to be seen and loved by you, nobody else...the most powerful healing frequency is love from you to yourself...stop pushing away and shaming and noticing how they're doing that in a very subtle way...we talk ourselves out of seeing these things because we are so ashamed of them."— Lizzie

Viral Topic: The Importance of Prioritizing Pleasure Quote: "How pleasurable? Like on a scale of one to ten, how easy do you find it to rest and relax into a state of pleasure? Like simple pleasure, whether it's drinking a warm cup of coffee in the morning, how much of a priority do you make your pleasure?"— Lizzie

The Power of Self-Compassion: "The number one AHA moment I've had, this is ... It's so transformative."— Lizzie

The Importance of Self-Advocacy and Emotional Regulation: "The first thing is you have to know how to advocate for yourself, to your partner... That's going to take me arranging with my co-parent... require me to be willing to stand up for this part of me that needs alone time... being able to advocate for yourself... the number one gift that we can give to our kids... is just our authentic relationship with ourselves... When you are authentically connected to yourself and you know yourself inside and out and you know your cues and your triggers... then you are so much more real with your kids..."— Lizzie

The Struggle of Motherhood: "I genuinely just thought, like, it was the end all, be all. Like, it was the most expression of being a woman and the most valuable thing I could do... but you get in the trenches of it and you're like, oh, I feel like a little jaded. Like, this isn't what I all thought it would feel like or be like."— Lizzie

Supporting Postpartum Women: "I think the biggest block to people helping postpartum women is they say, what can I do for you? Most women have a hard time telling you what to do. I don't like, now I told my husband, if people ask you what they can do, here's a couple of ideas. But this is my fourth go around, my 1st, 2nd baby. I would have been paralyzed. If somebody asked me what they could do for me, I would have been in my head like, oh, I don't want to be a burden. Like, that was my mojo. I don't want to be a burden. So just do it. Just be like, hey, I scheduled a house cleaner. Here's a gift card. You can use it whenever you need it, or I have three months of hello, fresh for you whenever you want it. Here's the code. It's just like, hey, I'm dropping off dinner tonight. If you don't need it, stick it in the freezer. I just love you and I wanted you to know I'm here. Just like, do it."— Lizzie

In this episode of the IHML Show, Amber Black shares her journey of resilience and manifestation, proving that regardless of the circumstances we are born into, we have the power to create a life we love.

Amber's story is truly remarkable. Growing up, she had a strong support system, but still felt a deep desire to prove herself. Her mother told her at a young age that she was unwanted and unplanned which shaped her reality for years to come. In fact, she didn't speak until the age of four and had to overcome many setbacks and limited thinking to get to where she is today.

And yet, she continued to show up in life believing anything was possible. (And that you should always have your cake and eat it too!) Throughout the episode, she emphasizes the importance of believing in and bringing what we want into our lives.

In this episode, Amber shares tangible practices and ways of thinking that have changed her life.

For example: Writing down a list of desires and manifesting them with ease and joy. Many of us may feel hesitant to write down our desires, fearing disappointment if they don't come true. Amber suggests creating a visual focus, such as a vision board or Pinterest board, to help manifest our dreams.

She encourages us to continue holding faith and believing in our desired outcomes, even if they seem unlikely or crazy in the moment.

One of the key areas Amber focuses on is attracting dream clients. She challenges the negative thoughts and perceptions around sales and entrepreneurship, believing that everyone deserves to work with enthusiastic clients who are excited to invest in our services.

Amber's story is a beautiful reminder that we have the power to create the life we desire, even if we're currently feeling stuck between our job and our dreams.

She encourages us to connect with our "why," our calling and purpose, and take steps towards creating our own dream job.

If you've been feeling hesitant or unsure about starting something big outside your nine-to-five, Amber's powerful insights will definitely inspire you to take that leap of faith.

Remember, manifesting dreams can happen even if we forget about them. So let's embrace this sense of calm and assurance, and trust that by standing in our own truth and authenticity, we will attract our ideal clients, opportunities, and the life we truly desire.

Tune in to this week's episode with Amber Black on the I Heart My Life Show for a dose of inspiration and practical tips to unlock your resilience and manifest your dreams.

Keep dreaming big and taking inspired action!

Quotes: Childhood Curiosity and Self-Awareness: "I just began to just question everything, question the world around me. And I just remember just having this childlike curiosity that I'm sure we'll get to later on, but has proven to be correct even as a toddler, even as a young girl, my desires, my thoughts."— Amber Black

The Power of Resiliency: "But I think that resiliency comes from innately kind of knowing that I wasn't really wanted. And so feeling like I needed to prove myself in every turn of my life, realizing that I won't say I was a mistake, but I was definitely not planned right."— Amber Black

The Challenges of Maternal Mental Health: "But when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, it definitely sent me down a spiral."— Amber Black

I always say that what you're getting paid for in your nine to five. You're already good at someone's already paying you 50K or more a year to do that job. Why not just stop there? Just start."— Amber Black

Generating Successful Mindset: "I've realized that wherever my mind goes, my energy kind of flows... I'm telling myself that I am great, I'm magnificent... my days become self-fulfilling prophecies because I'm just naturally going to move in that direction of success."— Amber Black

Quotes Overcoming Obstacles: "Well, I know people are like, Yo, that doesn't sound like all of that happened to one person. However, all of that happened to one person, and that's probably 10% of the things that I had to overcome."— Garrain Jones

Energy Transmutation: "Most people don't realize that they have compartments of energy that's powerful than the fastest train in the world. But it might be in all of your ego and it might be in all of your insecurities and all of your self doubt and all of your gossip, all of your talking about people behind their back."— Garrain Jones

The Power of Apology: "One, mind you, I haven't spoken to her in all these years. One, why'd you do that? Two, what about me made you do that? Three, same thing is happening to my kids, and I don't know what to tell them. And I was like, you mean to tell me people keep the way you make them feel? Oh, my goodness, I have so many people to apologize to."— Garrain Jones

The Power of Forgiveness: "I forgave the two men who murdered my father. And when I was done, this guy kept looking at me and he was like, man, I just want to apologize to you. I said, for what? He said 20 years ago I went to prison for attempted murder. And I just got out last night and I was planning to murder the person who snitched on me tonight. But I saw in you freedom for the first time. And I just want to let you know that I'm a changed man. I've never seen what freedom looked like. And I want to apologize on behalf of the two men who murdered your father. And I instantly got closure that I always wanted as a twelve-year-old."— Garrain Jones

The Power of Personal Development: "The difference is the awareness. I wasn't aware of what I was doing. So maybe I would read a good book. I wasn't aware that what I was reading was causing me to then have the book start reading me. And when a book starts reading you, you start living out its principles."— Garrain Jones

The Power of Self-Reflection: "But because I design a game I actually like playing, I create a life I actually like living."— Garrain Jones

The Magic of the Little Kid Within: "The artist is the little kid before life stripped away all your powers."— Garrain Jones

The Power of Harmonies: "If you can truly understand how harmonies work now, you can become one that is harmonious with any kind of energy that comes your way."— Garrain Jones

The Power of Transformation: "Your life will start to look like what you flood your conscious mind that drips into your subconscious mind”— Garrain Jones

Dreaming Big: "I was 14 years old, and I always knew. I was like, man, I'm going to retire my mom. I'm going to win five Grammys. I'm going to walk with her on a red carpet, and when I receive my reward, I'm going to retire her."— Garrain Jones

The I Heart My Life Show is back to inspire and empower individuals who are looking to make a change and reinvent themselves and their work. In this episode, Emily will dive into her recent experiences, sharing valuable insights from her own hiatus and the impact it had on her life and the lives of those around her.

During her break, Emily took a six-week pause from Instagram and a four-month hiatus from the podcast to realign and reconnect with her purpose. It was a decision based on what felt right and in alignment with her own capacity. Now, she is immensely excited to resume sharing content and discussing her own process over the past few months.

One of the fascinating aspects of Emily's break was the profound conversations it sparked and the incredible bonds that were formed. She realized just how often people hide their true feelings and the power of vulnerability. By sharing her experience, Emily gave others permission to share their stories and feel less alone, leading colleagues and clients to express interest in making similar decisions.

As the founder of I Heart My Life, Emily started her business from home with a mission to help people achieve their goals and create more joy in their lives. The I Heart My Life Show covers various topics, including mindset, relationships, wellness, lifestyle, money, business, and career. Emily's genuine passion for helping ambitious women shines through as she shares her journey and provides guidance along the way.

In this episode, Emily will talk about her big shift in terms of her brand and company, and her plans to simplify her personal brand to focus on her main projects. (Something that took ten years to reach this point!) Be prepared for some major updates and insights into the future of I Heart My Life...

Additionally, Emily will discuss the fear of change and reinvention, a topic that may strike a chord with many of you. She'll delve into determining whether the overall goal or mission is out of alignment or if it's just a temporary challenge. Emily's personal reflections will provide you with valuable tools to overcome fear and embrace the beauty and potential of reinvention.

To get the full experience, we highly recommend listening to the previous episode before diving into this one. The insights and personal stories shared there will set the stage for an even deeper understanding of Emily's journey.

As always, Emily will share her wisdom and practical tips, emphasizing the power of actively engaging in life to find clarity and courage. Taking a pause doesn't mean completely disassociating from everything; it means pursuing clarity with intention while staying engaged in your life and community.

Join Emily as she shares her powerful hiatus experience, explores fears, and confronts the unknowns in her life. Be ready to be inspired to pursue your own reinvention journey and build a business and life fueled by love and passion.

Don't miss out on this episode of the I Heart My Life Show!

Wishing you a life filled with joy, reinvention, and the pursuit of your dreams!

Quotes "Finding Purpose and Realignment: So I am back after about four months on a hiatus from recording this podcast, and I wanted to share what I did during that time that really helped me realign, essentially launch two new brands and come back to my purpose and what I feel I'm meant to do in this world."

— Emily Williams [00:00:50 → 00:01:09]

The Power of Taking a Hiatus: "When I decided to put the pause in place, I started to do a couple of things that really replaced that time and were in service to me."

— Emily Williams [00:04:38 → 00:04:47]

Overcoming Fears as an Entrepreneur: "And so for me, I knew that my desire was to give myself some space, give myself some time from Instagram and the podcast. And when the fears came know I'm well versed enough in mindset to know that those weren't actually true. And I also know that I have to follow my fears and get to the place where they're no longer scary and then they don't have power over me."

— Emily Williams [00:05:40 → 00:06:03]

Facing Fear: "What would actually happen and what would this look like? And is it actually that scary? And am I going to allow that to hold me back from the thing that I actually want to do?"

— Emily Williams [00:10:24 → 00:10:34]

Overcoming Fear and Finding Strength: "I know one of my colleagues, she had a period of time for a year and a half or two years where she just wasn't selling and she was working on herself, working on her health. She realized she'd gotten so far away from her mission in life and what she was put on this earth to do and she could no longer do it. So she turned things off, she shut things down and really had to regroup and now has come back stronger than ever and has a business that she really loves and is doing work that is fulfilling."

— Emily Williams [00:11:32 → 00:12:01]

The Power of Vulnerability: "And so it just made me realize how often we are actually hiding, how often we are wanting to pretend like everything's okay when it's not, and how much power there is in that vulnerability and actually sharing what's really going on behind the scenes and not feeling like we have to bond over perfection."

— Emily Williams [00:12:19 → 00:12:41]

The Importance of Authenticity: "I do think it's important to share from a scar versus a wound if it's still really fresh and you're still experiencing, maybe wait a little bit. But in this case, I was happy to share and open and I was honest about the fact that there are a lot of question marks and I don't know who I'm going to be and what I'm going to create when I get back here. But this is where we're at and this is the truth. And again, it gave so many people that permission to take their own pause and to reevaluate their life."

— Emily Williams [00:15:21 → 00:15:51]

Reinventing Yourself: "I think so many people started businesses or started down a path, even if it's a career path and you thought it was what you wanted, but now you're realizing it's not. And yet there's a fear of changing things up, there's a fear of reinventing yourself."

— Emily Williams [00:17:18 → 00:17:30]

The Duality of Ambition: "And yet they are starting to realize that even though the goal is to build their business, create wealth, have a big impact in the world, there are also other things that they're ambitious at, which is maybe family life, motherhood, just being healthy, not being so obsessed, and having their entire worth wrapped up in their company."

— Emily Williams [00:23:47 → 00:24:07]

Building Two Companies with Massive Collaborations: "So I was building out those contracts and relationships and getting all of those professional relationships solidified."

— Emily Williams [00:27:57 → 00:28:05]

Are you feeling stuck in a rut and unsure of what your next move should be?

Do you ever feel like you're doing the same thing over and over again, and there's something new trying to come through that you haven't allowed yourself to hear or receive?

Are you wondering if it's time to (dare I say) QUIT the thing you're doing now?

If so, you're going to want to listen to this episode of the podcast.

I'm taking you BTS of my own experience with those questions above, and I reveal some of the big decisions that I'm making for myself on behalf of my intuition and next chapter.

HINT: It includes turning two things off for the time being. (I share the details in the Show!)

So, if you're feeling stuck and unsure of what your next move should be, I highly recommend giving this episode a listen. I'm hoping that my vulnerability and honesty will inspire you to tune into your intuition and make the necessary changes to follow your bliss.

Spoiler alert: I don't have all of the answers yet, but I'm here for the transformation and am excited about what will be revealed to me.

Thanks for tuning in!

Have you ever heard of dragon healing?

Me either! Until I started working with my incredible client Theresa Nguyen that is.

We talked about her journey to discovering her gift and how she uses it to help others. We also discussed what dragon healing actually is and how anyone can tap into it.

In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I had the pleasure of interviewing financial advisor Mark Fujuwara.

But guess what? This convo is not about money or financial advice...

Real truth? When my previous client and friend Tricia Brouk introduced me to Mark, I had no idea who he was or what he did.

But I was captivated by his story...

Back in 2016, Mark's life took a downward spiral after a tough divorce, and he struggled with depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.

Through a simple conversation, he got the idea to step out of his comfort zone for 100 days, which as you'll hear in this episode, completely transformed his mental health and reduced his anxiety and depression.

Now if you're reading this thinking you could never take that challenge, just know that he started small.

In fact, his first step was telling someone about his mental health struggles. He called his cousin, who also had mental health struggles (unbeknownst to him!), and found it liberating to share his story.

Now, Mark's goal is to normalize conversations about mental health symptoms in society, comparing it to talking about common cold symptoms.

He believes that this would be a significant step towards winning the battle against mental health struggles if we could all be more open. I completely agree which is why mental health is a big topic of conversation on this Show.

In this episode, you'll also hear Mark talk about how transforming his own life through his new practices also impacted his business. For example, he no longer works with clients who are not their true selves and is able to attract high-level contracts easily, without struggle due to his own energy and magnetism.

Mark's story serves as a reminder that it's okay to struggle and seek help, and that vulnerability can lead to personal growth and positive change, and he gives us simple ways to reduce anxiety and depression.

Let's dive in...

In This Episode:

[00:00]The Importance of Mental Health
Mark discusses his goal of normalizing conversations about mental health and how it can help in winning the battle against mental illness.

[01:49]Mark's Journey and Work

Mark talks about his struggles with mental health and how being true to himself and sharing his story has helped him and his clients achieve better results.

[12:33]Chy Egoi and Maximum Appreciation
Mark explains the Japanese concept of Chy Egoi and Maximum Appreciation of the moment.

[14:08]Wake-up Call
Mark talks about his struggles with anxiety and depression and what led to his wake-up call in 2016.

[21:05]Jumping in a Cold Body of Water
Mark shares how Dave Asprey's advice to jump in a cold body of water became his day one task and how it helped him expand his comfort zone.

[22:13]Hip hop dancing class
Mark talks about his experience attending an advanced hip hop dancing class and how it helped him step out of his comfort zone.

[25:39]Benefits of vulnerability
Mark discusses how being vulnerable and sharing his mental health struggles with others helped him feel less lonely and become his true self.

[29:17]Indicators of true self
Mark shares how he measures his energy levels and looks for red flags to determine if someone is living out their true self.

[33:10]Mark's True Self Approach
Mark discusses his approach to financial advising, which is centered around being true to oneself and avoiding scripts. He shares examples of how this approach has led to successful client relationships.

[34:28]The Importance of Being True to Oneself
Mark shares a story about how being his true self during a client meeting led to a successful business relationship. He also discusses the importance of being true to oneself in all aspects of life.

[41:23]Manifestation and Letting Go of Results
Mark and Emily discuss the importance of manifestation and attracting abundance, and how being unattached to specific results can lead to greater success. They also draw parallels between this approach and dating.

[43:24]Trisha's Big Opportunities
Emily and Mark discuss how Trisha's success has become expected due to her alignment and energy.

[44:11]Mark's Anxiety Story
Mark shares his experience with anxiety and how he learned to cope with it through meditation and shifting his focus.

[53:22]Surrounding Yourself with the Right People
Mark emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with people who align with your true self and being honest with yourself about those relationships.

Do you want to invest in yourself by working with a coach or mentor or participate in a group mastermind (or another group container)? And are you wondering how to get results with your coach?

Or are you a coach or consultant yourself who wants to teach her clients to know how to best utilize coaching?

Either way, this episode is for you...and get ready to be inspired!

In this episode, I interviewed Producer, Director, Speaking Coach, and Author Tricia Brouk, who shares her experience working with James and me for three years.

Trust me...she didn't go into our coaching relationship thinking she'd be with us for three years...

In fact, Tricia initially thought it was craaazzzyyy to spend $15,000 on a VIP day with two strangers, but on this epsiode, she explains how she moved past that fear and judgment and decided to fly 6,000 miles roundtrip to work with us in LA. And invest with us for three years!

As you listen (or watch), you'll see that Tricia received achieved instant results in her business, in particular, making back her entire (second) investment of $85,000 within the first two months of working with James and me. The. results. were. out. of. this. world. 🌍

Don't get me wrong. This isn't always the case with every single coaching client and on this episode, we share why people get tripped up in coaching programs and of course HOW you too, can get the most results with your coach.

(Or how to advise your clients to get results.)

If you're ready to invest in yourself and take your business to the next level, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, we're talking about how to heal. I had the pleasure of interviewing my dear friend Vasavi Kumar who shares her story of addiction, recovery, and self-love. Vasavi's journey of self-discovery and healing is truly inspiring, and I am SO excited to share it with you.

Growing up in a chaotic household, Vasavi experienced early exposure to therapy, which she credits as a key factor in her ability to heal and break the cycle of addiction and mental health issues in her family.

In our conversation, Vasavi talks about her belief in the power of expressing emotions and listening...in fact, she's written a whole book on expressing yourself called "Say It Out Loud" which comes out this week. Her story is powerful, raw and real...she doesn't hold back! (Even admitting that after going to rehab for the second time, she had to Google "how do I love myself?").

Vasavi's stories demonstrate the power of self-love, vulnerability, and, just like most of our podcast guests, taking action toward your dreams.

(She encourages listeners to find at least one thing every day that makes them feel amazing and to own who they are as a person.)

If you want to hear more about Vasavi journey of self-discovery and healing, make sure to tune in to this episode of the I Heart My Life Show.

In this podcast episode, Emily Williams shares her journey of building a successful business and making seven figures in her first 18 months. She talks about investing in a coach, working through money blocks, and making sacrifices to focus solely on her business. Emily emphasizes the importance of being clear on your desires, challenging limiting beliefs around money, and up-leveling your mindset. She also acknowledges that the journey of building a successful business is not a straight path and that it can be painful and uncertain at times. Emily's journey is a testament to the power of hard work, trust, and mindset work in achieving success. In This Episode:

[03:44] Emily's unique circumstances. Emily explains her situation when she started her business, including her lack of responsibilities and debt.

[26:28] Flying Business Class. Emily talks about giving herself the gift of flying business class from Bali to London, and how it was a rational decision to try it out and see if it was important to her.

[39:10] Focus on Profit and Team Building. Emily discusses what she would do differently if she were starting her business today, including focusing on profit, team building, and putting more structure in place. She also emphasizes the importance of tuning the plan to what feels aligned for each individual.

Quotes: "It was actually more in service to the client or to the customer for me to go deeper with them on money and to act and operate from a place of being a coach versus worrying about being liked." "Never lower your prices to the point where you feel like you're gonna resent your clients." "As you're up-leveling observe yourself. What are the blocks that you have? What are the ways in which you're holding yourself back?" "Don't cut off the option before you even explore it is what I'm trying to say." "I wouldn't require myself to move as quickly and I would focus more on profit than just you know making money and spending money to up level but I know that those initial investments really helped me to gain traction quickly and to feel supported and to understand how to actually do this online business thing and that was a topic I didn't know much about and so learning from somebody who'd been there and done it was huge."

Here at the I Heart My Life Community, we are biiiig on desire (as you might have noticed from all the episodes we’ve had about the subject).

And for a good reason!

Being able to get everything you desire in life is a skill, and I want aaaaall of us to be able to learn and master that skill.

You see, manifesting your desires doesn’t have to be difficult (or impossible, like a lot of naysayers would tell you).

It can be done, as long as you follow the right steps and do the work needed.

A great example of this is today’s guest on the I Heart My Life podcast, the brilliant, beautiful Lina Kennedy.

Lina (also known as the Sugar Queen) is a storyteller, an entrepreneur, an inventor, a teacher, a successful business owner, and an all in all super woman with decades of business experience.

She is also the founder and president of Alexandria Professional, the global leader and authority in body sugaring hair removal systems.

Today, Lina and I will be going all in and talking about manifesting your desires, how she built her super successful dream business, the importance of staying positive and consistent in life, and more.

Are you ready? Because I am!

All right, let’s dive in.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:00] Lina shares her story and how she became the successful woman she is today
[08:21] Marry a millionaire? No, I’ll become one instead!
[17:54] Lina shares how she learned to grow her business
[20:41] Some business from the Sugar Queen herself
[25:44] Lina shares the financial challenges she faced during her journey
[35:34] Let’s learn more about Lina’s book

Quotes:

“When you say ‘I'm grateful for the joy, abundance, and love that finds me today. I'm open, I receive, I'm ready.’ Those three things can change your life on a daily basis.” – Lina Kennedy

“I'm all about moving on. That's probably one of the biggest gifts I was given to myself is just to move on. And so the opposite of that would be to remain stuck. I don't believe in that. At all. There is always a solution. It's whether or not you're brave enough, or fearless enough, because fear is what stops so many people from taking that first step forward or away.” – Lina Kennedy

“I love life. Every day I wake up, I'm so grateful.” – Lina Kennedy

“I wish I could take away the fear from people. You shouldn't fear trying something different, trying something for yourself against whatever people believe.” – Lina Kennedy

“Women, please, if there's one thing you could do for yourself in this one lifetime, in this one journey we have here, it’s to look to make yourself happy. Don't look for a man to make you happy.” – Lina Kennedy

“The easiest thing you can do to grow a business is this: Communicate clearly. You want people to understand you? Say it straight.” – Lina Kennedy

Health challenges can be a big obstacle to face. They can make us feel depressed, frustrated, hopeless, and angry.

And all those feelings are valid. After all, many of us take our health and bodies for granted. We move through life with easy, almost careless steps… until we don’t anymore.

Many of us in the I Heart My Life community have faced a situation like this. And we’ve come out of it stronger and wiser.

Someone who knows this better than anyone is today’s guest on the podcast, the brilliant Victoria Fenton.

When Victoria was seventeen, she became unwell (or as she says, “violently sick on holidays,” which definitely describes what she went through much better).

That one night when she was sick changed the course of her life forever.

Because of that one night, she discovered Human Design and Gene Keys, dove deep into personal development, and became the amazing human being she is today.

Tune in to this episode and listen as Victoria and I discuss a loooot of interesting stuff, from Human Design to moving through trauma and health challenges to Gene Keys and everything in between.

Are you ready?

Because I know I am.

All right, let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[00:56] Victoria shares her personal and professional journey with us
[05:13] How Victoria stayed on her path and decided not to give up
[09:24] Victoria shares with us her insights about trauma, trauma patterns, and health consequences
[15:38] Victoria on nervous system repatterning
[22:50] Time to discover the different types within Human Design
[35:19] How do you know what cycle you’re in?
[36:51] Let’s talk about Gene Keys!
[40:43] Are you Victoria’s ideal client? Find out now!

Quotes:

“Everything that I do includes all of my health stuff, all of the biohacking stuff, all of the coaching work that I do and the trauma resolution work that I do, essentially trying to allow people to really take up all of their space in the world. That's what I do for people.” – Victoria Fenton

“I studied functional medicine, naturopathy, nutrition, and lots of specialisms within those areas just trying to find my own answers, and ended up having to qualify myself because I couldn't find a doctor or a professional who'd worked with my conditions before. And so with all of that, I ended up setting up my own functional medicine and nutrition practice in London” – Victoria Fenton

“I have a very close relationship with my mom. And I really believe very strongly that I would not have gotten through this without her undying support.” – Victoria Fenton

“I feel like there is a deep privilege in having to struggle, because I learned so much about myself, but also, I developed so much resilience that I would never have had. And I learned so much that I can now help other people with.” – Victoria Fenton

“It really is important to understand that everything about our body runs on our nervous system. And the nervous system is the information or architectural highway that communicates how to run all of the processes. There's so much going on physiologically on a second by second basis that has to have communication on board for the body to be able to function. And most of it should be automatic.” – Victoria Fenton

Here at the I Heart My Life community, we believe mental health should be a priority.

Your mental health is one of the few things in life that you can’t ignore because the consequences of doing so are just too grave.

You see, nothing matters more than your own personal joy and happiness. Not work, not money, nothing…

And if anything, taking care of your mental wellbeing can help you grow in your professional life, even if you have to take a day to breathe every once in a while.

Someone who knows this better than anyone else I know is the amazing Ashley Turner.

Ashley is a longtime yoga meditation teacher and licensed psychotherapist. She’s been in private clinical practice for over a decade, and during the time, Ashley has combined yoga, meditation, and breath work with classical mental health psychology to help her clients.

Ashley now primarily teaches yoga and meditation professionals how to incorporate more psychological work and exercises into their services. She also works with mental health professionals and teaches them how to integrate yoga and breathwork into psychology.

Today, Ashley and I will be talking about a loooot of interesting subjects, such as the power of yoga and breathwork, moving through trauma, entrepreneurship, her fertility journey, and more.

Are you ready? Because I know I am!

All right, let’s dive in.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[00:35] Let’s welcome Ashley in the show!
[02:09] How Ashley discovered yoga and what led her to use it for mental health work
[08:31] How Ashley healed her confidence wounds
[18:43] How Ashley decided to move forward as an entrepreneur in the yoga space
[24:07] Ashley shares the shadow work she had to do as she stepped into entrepreneurship
[30:44] Let’s talk about motherhood and Ashley’s fertility journey
[44:33] One final question for Ashley

Quotes:

“Your life is your curriculum. You don't have to study books. Just be in your life and do the best you can and you will be forced into soul lessons.” – Ashley Turner

“I met a friend who was really into yoga and he introduced me to it and it started to change my life. And I don't think at the time I knew that I really was depressed and I had suffered these rejections that really dropped my self-esteem. I sort of had like this idyllic eighteen years and then as soon as I got to college, I really lost my sense of self and my confidence. And so then after college when I found yoga, it started to heal me from the inside out.” – Ashley Turner

“Yoga really is a psychology. Yoga is a study of the soul, it's a study of how we optimize living this human life, this body, [and] how we master our minds and emotions.” – Ashley Turner

“One of my teachers would always say the goal [of therapy] is to move from judgment to understanding. So how do I move from judging myself maybe for having that trigger to really understanding and having compassion for why that might be here?” – Ashley Turner

“If you're just addressing the physical level and you're working to get fit and strong and flexible [through yoga], it will still have an effect on your mental health and your energetic capacity.” – Ashley Turner

“The breath is the link between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.” – Ashley Turner

Friends, I want you to meet someone extra special today: Our beautiful, incredible daughter, Charlotte London Williams.

She is truly a joy that’s been added to our lives. And I cannot describe how happy I am to be finally holding her in my arms.

But today’s episode isn’t just about that. It’s also about what came before, our birth story.

Before James and I talk about it, I want you to know that there is truly no right or wrong when it comes to how and where you choose to give birth.

The story we share is ours and ours only, and even if yours is different, it is still valid.

I had a pretty easy pregnancy and I chose to have a home birth. And trust me, it wasn’t without its surprises.

This is our story, so don’t take any of this on if you are expecting or planning to have children soon.

I truly just want this episode to be a safe space where I can share my experience and where you can too if you so choose.

So, without further ado, let’s get to it!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:38] It all started on February 4th, and the baby was… early!
[07:50] When things started intensifying
[18:15] Full-on labor and committing to the horse lips
[22:18] It’s finally time to push!
[28:53] Things suddenly took a turn…
[40:56] What happened the next morning
[45:35] The one thing we learned during the birth process

Quotes:

“I think the thing that was super interesting about the whole experience was that, you know, we had planned a home birth. And that felt really good to me the whole time that we were thinking about delivering, I just kept thinking, ‘Where do I want to do it?” The hospital didn't feel good. I couldn't find any birth centers that felt good to me, just being at home felt very comforting.” – Emily Williams

“Everything that I did was really just instinctual. And I think that's so much of what birth is. And that's what really intrigued me about being unmedicated as well as just being able to be so in tune with my body and with the baby.” – Emily Williams

“I know in the grand scheme of things eighteen hours is not a long time when it comes to labor, especially for a first-time mom, but when you're in the moment, it feels like forever.” – Emily Williams

“Rather than [the doula and the midwife] sort of saying ‘It's going to be okay, it won't hurt as much as you think,’ it was more like ‘This is what it is. And yes, it's gonna hurt. And we're here. And this is what's meant to happen.’ And I think that was great, because it was framing for all of us in the room that everything was normal, and that you're amazing, and that you're brave, and [that] you can handle it.” – James Williams

“I think the pushing experience is so interesting, because I knew that my body would feel like it needed to push, but I just couldn't imagine what the sensation would actually be. And it does kind of feel like you need to go to the bathroom. But it's this crazy urge, you can't not push, everything in your body is telling you to get this thing out. And that's what I was really surprised about.” – Emily Williams

Have you ever wanted to do things differently? To not follow the rule book of life, but instead, be free to lead your life and your business or career in a way that works for you?

I know many of us have this dream. We want to have it all: the successful business, the amazing family, the happy marriage, the perfect social life, etc…

And I’m here to tell you that you can have it all. And you can be free.

You don’t have to stick to the book or live your life by the set of rules society pushes on you.

You can make your own rules, and you can achieve success and joy and happiness doing so.

Don’t believe me?

Well, lucky for you, I’ve invited someone who’ll help you leave your skepticism where it belongs; in the past.

Her name is Jessica Caver Lindholm and she is one of my favorite people in the world.

It’s funny though...when I first met Jess, she triggered me.

She was so FREE. She was on her own schedule, didn’t care what people thought of her, charged what she wanted to charge, and frankly, I wanted what she had!

Once I got over my issues, we became close friends and she’s supported me through so many ups and downs.

Jessica is a business owner who lives her life and manages her business the way she wants to.

She never stuck to a schedule, she never followed the book, and she definitely never stuck to a plan.

She’s the queen of freedom, and, you know what? That’s been working for her!

Listen in as she and I talk about freedom, how to attract what you want, how she made it to where she is today, the importance of feeling free, and more.

If you’re craving that sense of freedom in your life but don’t know how to achieve it, then this episode is for you!

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[02:15] Jessica takes us back to the past
[09:07] How a step-by-step process can help you achieve freedom, from a certified rebel’s perspective
[14:39] Jessica shares the shift in mindset that helped her make five figures a month
[17:48] If I were wealthy, how would I actually feel at this moment?
[26:38] Jessica talks about how she gave herself permission to be free in her business
[37:37] Let’s talk about pivots!
[43:34] Jessica’s evolution in the last few years

Quotes:

“I always felt like a weirdo and a rebel and an outsider. And as I grew up and went to school, I just never felt like a traditional job made sense to me. I knew I could do it. I knew I could master it. But anytime that I would work for someone else, I just had this feeling of ‘I can be doing this better. I should run the company, not be working for you in the company.’ And that just kept happening.” – Jessica Caver Lindholm

“I think that [spiritual side] always just lived under the surface for me, even though I was this high achiever, background in science, all of that… I still had this love of the spiritual side.” – Jessica Caver Lindholm

“I think the mentors, the coaching, the programs that I was really drawn to in the beginning were those that really highlighted the lifestyle […] And so the program that we ended up being in together, what really drew me to it was not that it was gonna give me a step-by-step process to build the business. It was the feeling of it, it was the luxury, it was the idea, I was drawn so much to the idea of getting to travel the world with other women and have these luxury experiences.” – Jessica Caver Lindholm

“I remember reading The Science of Getting Rich at least six times in 2014 and just realizing all the ways that I was embodying broke, embodying not enough, and all of that fear. And I became really masterful at holding the energy and the frequency of wealth and knowing and feeling free around money, even though I didn't have money. And so that was one of the first things that I ended up teaching, how to feel financially free even when there's nothing there to support it.” – Jessica Caver Lindholm

“I think that our imagination and our curiosity are some of our greatest tools. And what we don't realize is, we're always in alignment for something. We're in alignment for something whether we're being intentional about it or not. And when I say alignment, it's when your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions, and your actions are all pointing towards a specific outcome.” – Jessica Caver Lindholm

Everyone, I’ve got a secret I want to share with you: Hustle culture doesn’t work for women.

I know, I know, who would’ve thought, right?

Simply scroll through entrepreneur TikTok or your Instagram reels, and you’ll be bombarded with videos of people telling you you need to work more, hustle more, sleep less, and, under all of that… enjoy life less.

Because, let’s be honest, if you’re always hustling, then you don’t really have time to enjoy yourself, take a nice warm bath to relax, play with your children, or spend quality time with your spouse, your friends, or your family.

Women are always told they’re not doing enough.

But enough is enough (yes, I am putting. my. foot. down.)

We can have it all, even if we don’t spend all of our lives praying at the hustle altar.

Someone who is the embodiment of this (and who has achieved sooooo many things without having to sacrifice her soul to hustle culture) is this week’s guest on the I Heart Life podcast, the brilliant Jadah Sellner.

Jadah is a brilliant business woman and the author of She Builds.

All of Jadah’s entrepreneurial work is built on one single idea: Sustainable leadership.

What is it? Why does it matter?

These are a few of the questions she answers in this episode.

Listen in as she and I discuss this and more, such as her book, why she rejects hustle culture, and how you can achieve everything you put your mind to while avoiding burnout.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:19] Jadah shares with us her big turning point
[10:29] The change after the realization
[22:23] Why Jadah procrastinated writing her book She Builds
[29:22] The warning signs that hustle is crushing you
[42:23] Jadah shares more about her daycare living situation story
[45:02] Who inspires Jadah to make changes in her life
[51:42] All you need is ten seconds of bravery

Quotes:

“Hustle is a season, it's not a lifestyle. So if that becomes your every day, then there is a mismatch.” – Jadah Sellner

“We're living in this male dominated culture; it wasn't that long ago that women were kind of the domestic caretakers of the home, taking care of the family, and the men would be at work, and then they're also the ones that have been the entrepreneurs. And so it's very new for women to not only be working outside of the home, but also to build their own economy, to build their own business. And the hustle culture, this male dominated narrative, has made us feel like we are not doing enough, we're not smart enough, we're not making enough.” – Jadah Sellner

“Building a business that compromises your health and relationships is not a sustainable business model.” – Jadah Sellner

“With Simple Green Smoothies, I knew my heart was being called in a different direction. And so I was actually not only experiencing this physical burnout, but I was also experiencing this mental burnout because I was misaligned with my truth.” – Jadah Sellner

“I'm a builder. I'm a creator. I always say that I'm an artist first and a business owner second. I wanted to share with more people about the behind the scenes of building a business and also what it means to build a business when you are a mom, when you are taking on more caregiving responsibilities. And I was more passionate talking about the behind the scenes of how we did what we did than about talking about the health benefits of chia seeds.” – Jadah Sellner

“I think for ambitious women, we have a vision, we have a dream, we have projects and goals, and then we hit them and we plateau because we haven't expanded what is possible for us or what is it that we're wanting to learn or how we're wanting to grow next. So that's why I think it's important for us to keep connecting to ‘What's that next level vision?’” – Jadah Sellner

Here in the I Heart my Life community, we are all about becoming the best version of ourselves, whether that means becoming the best business owner we want to be, or the best parent, or the best spouse.

And in order to do that, we are always learning more, keeping our minds open to new ideas, and learning new things about ourselves and the world around us.

And here’s a secret: It’s working!

I know, I know, it sounds too good to be true.

But it isn't.

Yes, growth doesn’t come easy. It’s hard and it requires a lot of work and patience. But that work comes with results, as long as you're willing to do your best (and trust the universe a little bit).

Someone who’s achieved everything she’s set to do (and is now working on achieving even more) is this week’s guest, the brilliant Destinee Berman.

Destinee is a supermom, an amazing woman, a successful entrepreneur and business owner, and an overall pretty great human being.

And today, she’s here to discuss how to start a business, the secrets to upleveling, why it’s important to have the right mindset, and more.

Are you ready? Because I know I am!

Let’s dive in.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[00:50] Destinee shares everything you need to know about her
[05:20] How Destinee learned to express her joy in the world
[10:43] Destinee shares her first career steps as an adult
[15:11] How to develop self-belief and create resilience
[25:06] Destinee shares how she upleveled her life this year and worked through the challenges that showed up along the way
[27:33] Advice from Destinee on how to increase your confidence and transform your mindset
[30:37] Destinee on how she balances being a mom and a business owner

Quotes:

“I'm learning what I need to say ‘no’ to and what I need to say ‘yes’ to, and learning how to build teams and systems so that I can have the kind of company that I want; and so also be the mom and the spouse that I want to be.” – Destinee Berman

“Being [a child of] immigrants and having to survive, that has been instilled in me for better or worse. And so this drive, this ambition, I do believe that some of it is intrinsic.” – Destinee Berman

“Being driven by fear, and being driven by this need to just make it will only take you so far. And so you know, in this range of doing something for joy, doing something for fun, doing something because I just want to, it has never really been in my world for most of my life. And so the fear is there because you feel like the rug will always be pulled underneath you.” – Destinee Berman

“The message that I've always received [from my parents] is ‘You don't have freedom unless you have your own business.’” – Destinee Berman

“I do feel like I still have so much more potential and possibility to fulfill […] There is that inner critic, for better or worse, that I know, I have more potential, more possibility to expand on. And there has been an intrinsic grit that has been learned, and my ambition.” – Destinee Berman

It’s not everyday that I get interviewed, but today, that’s going to change… Because today, I will be the guest!

Yep, we’re turning the tables (on me) and I’m going to get all candid with my brilliant interviewer, the amazing Vasavi Kumar.

Woop woop! (Yes, as you can see, I am veeeery excited).

You see, I wanted to change things up a bit. And I thought, what better way to do so than to sit in someone else’s chair for once?

Well, technically, I am sitting in a new chair, as this interview is from my dear friend Vasavi’s podcast. But we’ve talked about sooo much interesting stuff and I thought it would be a shame not to share it with all of you.

Listen in to this special episode of the I Heart my Life show, as Vasavi and I talk about aaaaaaall the fun stuff, from my top mindset practices to how to transform your thoughts to create more success to how I live my life based on my desires (and how you can too) and everything in between.

I hope you’re ready because this train is about to leave the station.

All right, let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[00:41] It’s time to change things up a bit!
[02:19] How I went from being rejected from Starbucks (I know, crazy, right?!) to where I am now
[07:58] Why I couldn’t NOT follow my heart
[13:26] Here’s why it’s important to admit your desires to yourself
[22:46] It’s time to realize the power of your words
[33:17] Let’s talk about motherhood
[39:12] What it’s like to be a recovering people pleaser and why you should say “no” more often

Quotes:

“When you start to practice following your heart and stepping outside of the rational mind that's trying to hold you back, you develop trust muscles with yourself.” – Emily Williams

“I definitely was always somebody who felt like she was meant for something big, but I didn't know what that thing actually was. But it was always that little whisper and intuition that there was something more for me and something different.” – Emily Williams

“I saw the entrepreneurs in my family have big dreams and do things that were a little bit different. But I definitely took it to a whole nother level. After my quarter life crisis, I felt like I was meant to live in London, England. And for somebody who grew up in Ohio with a family that really never leaves Ohio, that was very strange. And that was definitely one of those moments where I did get some pushback, even from friends.” – Emily Williams

“I didn't know any other way to live my life besides doing the things that I love.” – Emily Williams

“There's this beautiful quote by Raymond Holliwell, and he talks about how following your desires is basically stepping into your fully expressed life, the fullest expression of you. And so I believe that when I continue to trust my heart, that's me being fully expressed.” – Emily Williams

“Everything [you desire], big or small, just get it down on paper. Because the issue is most people can't even admit what they want to themselves.” – Emily Williams

In the I Heart Life community, we are all about success. And I don’t mean just financial success.

If that’s what makes you happy, then yes, sure, you do you! But to many others, me included, simply making money and creating wealth is not enough to fulfill our lives.

Success means something different to each one of us, but we can all agree on one thing: It’s not always easy to achieve.

It demands hard work, many sacrifices, and a lot of patience.

But, it happens!

Someone who’s gone through this and is still working towards becoming the best version of herself is this week’s guest, the gorgeous, brilliant Alexi Panos.

Alexi is a master coach and trainer. Her work is all about teaching other coaches how to work with people as whole humans, not just as a mindset.

She is making strides in her industry and changing the game (for the better) for everyone around her.

Alexi is a true pioneer, and I couldn’t be more excited to have her over on the I Heart My Life show.

Listen in as she and I discuss success, maintaining energy, alignment, motherhood, and everything in between.

I hope you love this episode as much as I did!

Tune in now.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:12] Alexi shares with us what it means to be a master coach
[10:12] Alexi shares the biggest challenges she faced in her life
[19:32] What you can do differently to stay more connected to your life partner
[24:18] How Alexi and her husband achieved all of their amazing milestones
[33:34] What is deserving of your time?
[37:48] Alexi discusses the identity shifts that came from motherhood
[43:06] The future plans in Alexi’s world

Quotes:

“The truth is, if we can't be who we desire to be in the “now” moment with whatever life is giving us, we're not going to be that person when the circumstances are great either.” – Alexi Panos

“We do so many things that the coaching industry is not even touching because we really saw a need for coaches to be fully equipped to work with a whole human and not just mindset, and not just talking about our past, but really working in the parts of the body that support the shape that we want to take on in the world.” – Alexi Panos

“The biggest macro issue was being a female in a male dominated industry. It was so interesting, and so challenging, because I just didn't expect it. But I was constantly met with people not taking me seriously […] So that was a really big challenge. But what was interesting is it made me have to get over my own stories of smallness and my own stories of what it means to be a woman or a man in this industry and all my judgments.” – Alexi Panos

“Preston and I both wanted to make each other happy. So we would put our needs aside to make the other person happy, to make sure they felt good, to make sure things were stabilized because stuff was busy. And in that people pleasing, there's withholding. And in that withholding, there's closure. And in that closure, there's disconnection, and in that disconnection, so much can happen.” – Alexi Panos

“Preston and I always had coaches along the way, because we believe in it, obviously, we're in this industry. But your coach or your therapist can only take you as far as you're willing to be honest with yourself.” – Alexi Panos

In this week’s episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I am off in baby world (yayyy!) so I leave you in the hands of one of my favorite people in the world (if not my favorite), my brilliant, loving husband, the amazing James Williams!

James is a certified high performance coach, and today he’s jumping in to discuss everything you need to know about resilience, self-love, and how to keep commitments to yourself!

You see, many of us forget to foster the most important relationship there is, the one we have with ourselves.

We can’t neglect that relationship and expect to be happy or fulfilled in our lives.

Just like everything that matters, we need to put in the work and make the efforts needed to foster and grow that bond we have with our inner selves.

“Easier said than done,” you might think.

And the truth is, you might actually be right…

Which is why James will be sharing his tips with you today so you can learn to build that relationship and nurture it through self-love and resilience.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:02] We should always strive to be better, and here’s how we can achieve that
[04:27] The one person who matters most is…
[05:33] It’s time to reflect back on your past mentors who have changed your life
[11:32] Why self-belief matters!
[17:11] Sharing practical tips you can use to learn to believe in yourself more
[25:40] There’s no such thing as a “too small” step forward, so keep moving forward!

Quotes:

“Life is full of obstacles, right? There will be plenty of obstacles as you work towards your goals, so don't be one of them.” – James Williams

“We want to always try and improve upon what we've been doing. And one way to do that is to really look back and figure out what worked before and what we can improve now.” – James Williams

“As we go forward in our life, there's one voice that we are going to be hearing every day. There's one person that we're going to spend more time with than anyone else. There's one person and only one person that actually has control over what we do next, why we do it, and whether we stick to it or not. And that one person is us.” – James Williams

“The way that we mentor ourselves has a huge huge impact on the direction of our life.” – James Williams

“If I think about the mentors that inspired me, the teachers, the old bosses that I had, even some of the friends that I had, one thing that they didn't do was make me feel obliged to succeed.” – James Williams

“If you look at all human history, if your only motivation is fear of what might happen if you don't act, the moment that you see an opportunity to escape, you will.” – James Williams

Becoming a mother can change everything in your life. And I mean, everything.

I would know, I’m currently pregnant and I have been getting ready for a whole new reality for the last few months.

I haven’t given birth yet and my life has already changed so much. I have new priorities and I now see things differently.

So, suffice to say, I am excited (and a bit scared, let’s be honest) about what changes will happen when my little girl is born.

And because I’m always curious about these changes and love to talk to female entrepreneurs who are also mothers, in this week’s episode of the I Heart My Life show, I invited the brilliant Natalie Ellis.

Natalie is the original boss babe. She is a super successful entrepreneur who’s been killing it for over a decade!

Natalie is also a new mom, and today, she’s here to discuss motherhood, identity shifts, why she started her new CEO Mama community, and more.

Trigger warning! If you’re about to give birth or squeamish, this may not be the episode for you. Natalie did not have an easy birth and talks in detail about what happened.

Tune in for more!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:14] Natalie dives into her entrepreneurship journey and what she does now
[04:52] Natalie shares the biggest challenges during her twenties
[11:17] How becoming a mother changed everything for Natalie
[13:46] Let’s talk about pregnancy, birth, and the joys of motherhood!
[18:45] How birth can be a portal and a transformative moment
[23:21] Natalie discusses the initial chapter of motherhood
[27:59] How pregnancy and motherhood inspire identity shifts

Quotes:

“My journey with entrepreneurship technically started when I was 13. I've always been very entrepreneurial. I feel like it was something I was born with, or learned at a very young age that it would be a great avenue for me. I loved entrepreneurship before I even knew there was a word to describe it.” – Natalie Ellis

“As a third time founder, you know, having the luxury of not having to do everything myself from the beginning is interesting and it's a realm that I'm playing in.” – Natalie Ellis

“Everything changed when I became a mom. Everything changed when my daughter was born.” – Natalie Ellis

“Being willing to advocate for myself has led me to make those decisions now that I probably should have made earlier. And so now I'm in a place of really leaning into and leading with my truth and being okay with the fallout of that.” – Natalie Ellis

“I executed multiple seven figure launches while I was pregnant. And I think part of me, if I get really honest with myself, wanted to prove to myself that I could do it, I wanted to prove to myself that I could be pregnant and I could still kill it at work. And now that I look back on it, you know, I don't have regrets, but I look back and think, ‘Okay, I would do things a little bit differently next time.’” – Natalie Ellis

“Just because I grew up a certain way, didn’t mean I need to live my life in a certain way.” – Natalie Ellis

“Every time I've really reached a new level, it's been because I've been working on those upper limits, just acknowledging that they're there and thinking about what is it gonna look like to move past that limit.” – Natalie Ellis

A few weeks ago, my team and I sent out a survey to our community to ask them one (not so simple) question: What is the biggest challenge that you face in terms of reaching your desires and your goals?

And the answers were… unsurprising, to say the least.

Around 300 people filled the survey, and there were two answers that were overwhelmingly at the top: Financial reasons and lack of time.

Many of us who can’t reach our goals, whether they are fitness goals or career goals or relationship goals, etc… blame both lack of time and lack of money for that.

However, this is a new year, and it’s time to debunk that old belief!

You see, it’s not lack of time or lack of financial means that’s holding you back… It’s something else entirely.

And as we enter 2023, I want you to be able to reach your goals and fulfill your New Year resolutions (come on, I know you have a list of those somewhere), so I’ll share with you what’s really keeping you from achieving everything you desire in life.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[00:40] Let’s talk about your goals… and what’s keeping you from achieving them
[02:55] Let’s go through the form together
[04:02] Think about what you desire the most in life
[14:00] What would you do if you had all the time in the world?
[17:21] It’s time to look beneath the surface
[22:30] “Don’t let it hold you back!”

Quotes:

“Time and money aren't the real reasons why people aren't reaching their goals.” – Emily Williams

“I would guess that most of the challenges that people are facing have to do with mindset, not lack of financial resources, not finding the time, not family, not health.” – Emily Williams

“If you're feeling stretched financially, I would love for you to ask yourself a simple question: If you had all the money in the bank that you needed for this thing that you desire, what would your next step be? How would you put yourself out there? What decisions would you make? Because the truth is, it's never about the money.” – Emily Williams

“A lot of people when I do money mindset work think that it's about just spending money aimlessly, not worrying about how you're spending your money, and being able to buy whatever you want. But the truth is, I don't feel like that's an actual healthy relationship with money. It's not a respect towards money. What I would love to see is for you to be considerate with how you're spending your money and your time, and really evaluate where it's going, and make sure it's in alignment with what it is that you actually want.” – Emily Williams

“If your mind doesn't even know what you would do with the thing, why in the world would you attract the thing? I always say money needs a purpose. That's why I love helping people create desire lists, because it's one of the easiest ways to get into the vision of the next level version of your life [and] to start to add up tangibly speaking how much these things are going to cost.” – Emily Williams

“So much of success is about introspection, it's about you being aware of what's actually going on for you.” – Emily Williams

Do you think working together and starting a business as a couple is a good idea? Or is it a surefire way towards failure?

Well, we don’t really know the answer.

Many couples work together and become the crazy successful power couples we all can only dream to be (I’m looking at you, Beyonce and Jay-Z).

But many couples also work together and their partnership just doesn’t work. And that ends up affecting their personal life.

What I’m trying to say here is that there is really no right or wrong answer when it comes to this question. It’s all about how willing the people are to work together and make the efforts needed for a healthy and professional partnership.

Well, a couple that’s really winning at this whole “Let’s live together and work together and be super successful” thing is today’s guests on the I Heart My Life podcast.

They are Alana and Jared Mitchell, and together, they own a skincare business.

Together, they also have children and a life and an 18-year old marriage.

And today, they’re here to tell us about how they started their business and grew it from a small spa room to $30 million dollars in sales!

They’ll also be talking about what it’s like to work and live together, why they chose the skincare industry, how their business grew over the years, and more.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[00:54] Alana and Jared introduce themselves and their businesses
[09:06] Alana and Jared explain the mains steps they took to go from selling one product to selling 400 products
[20:56] Jared shares what their definition of success and wealth is
[26:13] If you had a do-over, what would you do differently? Alana and Jared answer!
[32:31] Alana and Jared share how you can know if your business has staying power
[39:12] Alana and Jared’s top tips for people who are running a brand and parenting

Quotes:

“I had to really figure out, at a time where it wasn't popular and no one knew it, how to advertise on Google and Yahoo.” – Jared Mitchell

“We have boundaries that we subscribe to. We don't talk about work at home unless we have a designated time. You know, it's just not like work, work, work, work, work. Once we're home, [it’s all about] family.” – Alana Mitchell

“Respect each other and understand [each other’s] work styles.” – Alana Mitchell

“I always try to remind myself to speak to [Jared] just like you would any co-worker with respect and kindness.” – Alana Mitchell

“Something we did a long time ago that I thought was really helpful is we redefined how we define success and wealth. And once we started doing that, we realized that we're incredibly rich.” – Jared Mitchell

“Even back in the 20s, women would save up and do what they could and to get their mascara. So yeah, the beauty industry does well, even in a recession.” – Alana Mitchell

Here at I Heart My Life, we are all about transformation.

We all want to transform into better people, better parents, better friends, better partners, better entrepreneurs…

And many think this transformation has to come from the outside world. Maybe once they get the perfect job or they meet the right person or have children, their life will change for the better and they will get everything they’ve ever wanted?

Well today, I’m here to tell you… Not so fast! Because yes, transformation can happen, but it never comes from the outside.

Instead, the transformation that truly matters, the one that helps you achieve the life of your dreams, comes from within.

Someone who knows much more about this than I do (and believe me, he knows a lot about the art of transforming your life) is this week’s guest, the brilliant Dr. Steven Young.

Steven has an incredible backstory.

His childhood wasn’t easy. There was domestic abuse in his home, and once his parents separated, he lived in poverty with his mom.

As a teenager, his life wasn’t a healthy one, and he suffered from depression. But one day, something just clicked in his mind and he decided it was high time he made some changes.

Listen in as Steven and I discuss this and more, such as his own transformational path, the importance of changing the words and language we use, what updating your identity means, how he transformed his life financially, and more.

This was a riveting conversation and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:07] Steven shares his backstory with us
[05:10] How Steven started transforming from the inside out
[11:43] The stories and experiences that made Steven a believer
[13:33] Steven explains how it all works
[16:15] The first steps you need to make to transform your life
[20:12] How Steven transformed his life financially
[22:47] What updating your identity looks like
[26:57] Steven discusses the deeper work he does with people
[31:32] The next step after desire
[35:34] How Steven stays in a place of knowing and being connected to his higher self
[39:54] Do we need our egos?
[45:56] How to truly transform your finances
[49:58] Steven on letting go of your attachments
[54:31] One way you can create a life that’s better than your dreams

Quotes:

“My job is to use ancient wisdom and new technologies, bridging them together to help people wherever they are on this scale to essentially move up on this scale, and realize that we're absolutely these divine beings.” – Dr. Steven Young

“I tell most people that our pains and our difficulties in life can be the greatest gifts.” – Dr. Steven Young

“It's important for people to realize that our traditional medical system and medical schools, whether it be physical medicine or mind medicine, were energetically and financially based on oil profits.” – Dr. Steven Young

“I believe that many of our molecules are entangled. And so what that means is however we vibrate and feel, we can affect with our mind and intention and entangle with someone else's molecule and affect their molecule.” – Dr. Steven Young

“You need to start being very mindful of your words. And don't try to change every word, but pick a handful that you think and say that you recognize don't serve you, and then start to shift them.” – Dr. Steven Young

“I tell people: Any mass media words, like the most common words the media uses, question them.” – Dr. Steven Young

You know when sometimes things don’t go your way and you just want to scream into your pillow? Yeah, that sucks.

It sucks soooooo much that you get angry and frustrated and you want to scream and shout (and let it all out, as a certain musician has said before).

Well, I’m here to tell you that there is noooothing wrong with those feelings.

In fact, I’d even wager it’s pretty good to let them out in a healthy way and fully embrace them.

But hey, don’t take my word for it!

Instead, take the word of this week’s guest on the podcast, the brilliant Neeta Bhushan.

If Neeta’s name sounds familiar to you, that’s because it’s not her first time on the I Heart My Life podcast (so thank you for being a faithful listener)!

She’s been here before, and today, she’s back to discuss her incredible new book, “That Sucked, Now What?” and other fun stuff, such as the challenges life throws at us, why she chose her life’s mission, her frameworks, and more.

We’ll also be talking all about the importance of emotional health, why learning to become resilient is crucial for all of us, and why she wrote her book.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:39] Neeta shares her work and her story with us
[04:51] Neeta explains how chaos and joy can go together
[12:16] Why people are uncomfortable with emotions and vulnerability
[18:54] Here's the thing about “That Sucked, Now What?”
[21:56] How to express your emotions in a deeper way
[30:53] Here’s where you can buy Neeta’s book, “That Sucked, Now What?”

Quotes:

“I have had, I feel like, many lives and I am such an advocate for emotional health. And in the intersection of how grit and resilience plays a role into our lives, as well as into our next seasons of life.” – Neeta Bhushan

“[My book] has honestly been a labor of love over the course of, probably, ever since I shifted into motherhood.” – Neeta Bhushan

“My coping mechanism was toxic positivity. And I'm a very enthusiastic, positive person. And I didn't allow myself to go there. I didn't allow myself to feel until I had no place to hide it anymore, when it was just like, oozing out of my face in every direction. Because that's when you know, the big breakdown needed to happen in order to start healing.” – Neeta Bhushan

“Another component of the bounce factor is leaning into discomfort, and leaning into discomfort creates your new environment.” – Neeta Bhushan

“We're so good at teaching our kids, if you have a sucky moment, scream into the pillow, but do it with them. Or if you don't have kids, just go into a closet and go and scream into the pillow, because that pent up anger and frustration is going to turn into resentment, passive aggressiveness, and other emotions that we really don't want festering because then it pours into people that are closest to us.” – Neeta Bhushan

What is desire? Is it the need to have something? Is it simply a want? Or is it something even more powerful than that?

Whatever it is, it rules our lives, whether we like it or not.

Desire; desire to be better, to do better, to have more, and to make more, is what helps many of us deal with the ups and downs of life.

Desire is hope. The hope that everything will eventually work out and we will achieve whatever it is we want in our life.

As my favorite quote by Raymond Holliwell goes, “True desire represents the urge of life, seeking a fuller expression and is kept alive by the continuous expectation of its fulfillment. It brings to us the ways and means for its manifestations. The principle explains no desire is felt until the supply is ready to appear. No mind can be conscious of a need or a desire unless the possibility of its fulfillment already exists.”

This quote has been guiding my life every single day for the last few years.

It's helped me shift my mindset in ways that nothing else ever has. It's helped me manifest more of what I desire in my life. It's helped me get out of fear and doubt, and move forward even when it seems like things aren't working.

And more importantly, it's helped me learn to trust my heart and what I'm being called to do or have.

Listen in as I break down this quote and everything that it entails.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[00:44] Sharing my favorite quote with you
[02:25] “True desire represents the urge of life, seeking a fuller expression.”
[06:46] Do you feel the calling? Then believe that the supply is there!
[12:27] Circling back quickly to how true desire is kept alive
[17:05] The one thing I invite you to do today

Quotes:

“When you operate with the belief that you wouldn't even be aware of the desire unless the possibility of its fulfillment already existed, that changes the game, that changes everything. Then you get to the place where it's like, “You know what doubt and fear? I'm not even going to entertain you because I know that you're not truth.” – Emily Williams

“So many people are embarrassed by their desires, ashamed by their desires, feel like they're not worthy of what it is that they want, but true desire is literally about the urge of life seeking a fuller expression. So your desires are leading you towards your fully expressed life.” – Emily Williams

“Sometimes the ‘how’ gets in the way. People have a desire to build a business, to improve their health, to find love, whatever it may be, to grow their wealth, create financial abundance, and yet, they don't know how to make it happen.” – Emily Williams

“When you have a desire, you're actually already energetically aligned with it. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be aware of it.” – Emily Williams

“I want to really make it clear that sometimes it takes time to manifest something in your life, especially something like a thriving business. Of course, I believe in the power of the universe. But I also believe that there are building blocks that you have to put in place and steps that you have to take in order to reach a result.” – Emily Williams

Everyone talks about spirituality and how connecting with your inner self is all about growth, but what do these words truly mean?

After all, we all want to grow. We all want to be better people, better spouses, better friends, better parents, better siblings, better… everything.

But how do we achieve that goal? We can’t just wake up one day and find ourselves elevated to a higher spiritual realm.

No, all of this needs work. Work on the inside and work on the outside. It needs a deep understanding of the forces around us and the powers that rule our daily lives.

And most importantly, it needs us to be all right with asking for help from someone who understands all of this much better than we do.

Well, today, I’ll be interviewing that someone on I Heart My Life.

I hope you’re ready, because this is going to be a doozy!

This week’s guest is Sahara Rose. Sahara is a brilliant woman whose work is all about helping people like you and me discover their soul’s purpose, or dharma, and activate their fullest expression so they can live a better, more joyful life.

To Sahara, we were all born with a sacred purpose on this planet, and hers is to remind us of just that.

Listen in as Sahara and I talk about the meaning of dharma, transforming your body and mind, her journey, the meaning of “sacred feminine,” the power behind her success, and more.

This has been a riveting conversation and I can’t wait for you to get to know this amazing woman!

Tune in now.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:19] Sahara discusses her spiritual and personal growth journey from before she was born
[10:15] How Sahara healed her body with Ayurveda and got her period, and her life, back
[21:37] Sahara explains her mindset around roadblocks and challenges
[29:43] How to get yourself back in flow according to Sahara
[35:03] The different types of doshas and how they relate to your dharma
[40:33] Do you want to be creating content?
[44:20] Sahara explains how she cultivated her confidence

Quotes:

“I didn't really do anything with spirituality for over a decade, until my early twenties when I got into yoga. And through yoga, I started to dive deeper into the mind and body connection.” – Sahara Rose

“What I've learned is that living your dharma is actually integrating your highest point of joy with your highest point of service, because if it's coming from joy, you're naturally going to have that energy to follow through and stay energized when times get hard.” – Sahara Rose

“A lot of people think karma is just ‘what goes around comes around.’ But karma actually means bounded action by the universe to keep you in alignment with your dharma.” – Sahara Rose

“The number one tip I would recommend is to tune into your visionary self, stand for a message, stand for a cause that's greater than you, and gain clarity in your voice. Because the truth is, if we are just repeating what we've heard, we're never going to get our ultimate level of abundance.” – Sahara Rose

“The more you can refine your voice and have your own stories and be clear in your unique message, the higher levels of abundance are naturally going to unlock because you are irreplaceable.” – Sahara Rose

“All I do know is that here I am, I have freedom, I have these gifts, I have this voice. So it's up to me to decide what I want to do from it.” – Sahara Rose

“Our doshas are related to our dharma. Your mind body type is related to your purpose. You were born with this combination because it's part of your purpose.” – Sahara Rose

“I believe confidence happens as a result of doing things that you're proud of.” – Sahara Rose

The beginning of a journey, whether it’s starting a business or having a child or getting in a relationship, is always the hardest.

That first step is the most important, and for many of us, the most difficult. It takes courage, it takes work, and most importantly, it takes getting rid of self-doubt and trusting yourself.

I’ve done it. I got married, I started a business, and I am about to cross a whole new threshold and become a mother.

All of these things were scary when I first dipped my toe in the water. I had to deal with my mindset blocks and work on myself to learn that I was capable of achieving anything I put my mind into.

Someone else who’s had a similar journey is this week’s guest, the fantastic Nikki Elledge Brown.

Nikki is a brilliant copywriter, a self-proclaimed word nerd, a business owner, and a mother.

I have been a fan of her and her work (her branding is just amaaaazing) for years and years now, and I’ve always been curious about how her journey started and how she made it to where she is today.

Which is why, today, she and I discuss just that!

Listen in as Nikki and I talk about building a business, coming full circle, motherhood, overcoming mindset blocks, and more.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:16] Nikki talks about how she started her business journey
[06:43] How to own every side of yourself
[13:31] Breaking the mindset challenges
[20:06] Nikki talks coming full circle in her business
[32:02] How internal pressure can stop you from becoming the person you’re meant to be
[35:45] Tips to run your own Naptime Empire from Nikki
[42:23] Nikki shares with us what truly motivates her

Quotes:

“When I started my business in 2013, almost ten years ago, which does feel like multiple digital lifetimes ago, it was all about helping people say what they really wanted to say.” – Nikki Elledge Brown

“If you can own both sides [of yourself], and know that that is what makes you whole, that is what makes you human, and same for everyone else on this planet, then you're not as shakable and you don't get activated so quickly, you're just more steady, because it's like yes, and you can own it. And it's not right or wrong. It's just who you are.” – Nikki Elledge Brown

“For me, what I'm finding really inspiring is working with women, leaders who have lots of things to say. They know they have a book in them, or a podcast, or some form of expression, but they've got stuff around it. And they know on the other side of owning it and popping that cork, they're gonna feel more of themselves. [And] I wanna help with that.” – Nikki Elledge Brown

“So [my work] is like self actualization, but make it verbal creation.” – Nikki Elledge Brown

“I like to think of humanity as a big puzzle, and we each have our own unique shape to contribute.” – Nikki Elledge Brown

“I genuinely believe that the greatest gift and contribution that you make to humankind, and that includes the humans who are living in your household, is to be who you actually are.” – Nikki Elledge Brown

Starting a business or launching a new product has never been easier. Getting people to buy your product, on the other hand, has never been harder.

Every single day, more and more brands pump new products into the market. It is truly saturated, which is why very few startups make it longer than a couple of years before they have to close shop.

However, not every new product is a fail. Some make a killing, and that is thanks to a few things: A good marketing strategy, a great product, the right expertise, and a whole lotta luck.

To talk about this, I invited the brilliant minds behind The Product Boss, the amazing Minna Khounlo-Sithep and Jacqueline Snyder.

Both first generation Americans and both entrepreneurs at heart, Minna and Jacqueline are two amazing women who came up with one genius idea: To start a company that helps other people take their product-based businesses to the next level!

They created The Product Boss out of their own struggles of trying to reach product-based dreams and goals, but feeling lost in a world of service-based advice and strategy.

If you own a product-based business, then you know exactly what struggles they mean.

Listen in as Minna, Jacqueline, and I discuss everything you need to know to take your product-based business to the next level.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:15] You can make anything out of nothing
[09:30] Minna and Jacqueline share the difference they see between running a product-based business and running a service-based business
[16:23] Do you know when to give it a shot?
[21:18] How collaboration can lead to expansion in the world of product-based businesses
[25:41] Minna and Jacqueline share their biggest challenges
[33:24] Jacqueline and Minna discuss the mindset blocks they are dealing with
[38:07] Minna and Jacqueline’s secrets into tapping into their potential
[47:40] Top tips for mompreneurs
[52:05] Why the future is exciting for Minna and Jacqueline

Quotes:

“During me launching over a thousand fashion brands for my clients, designing, developing, producing, and helping them from scratch, I had decided to start my own two [product] lines, one was an apparel company and one was an accessories company.” – Jacqueline Snyder

“I always say that we're very lucky that we ended up having the same values, because we kind of landed upon this business.” – Minna Khounlo-Sithep

“Product business, in my opinion, is the loneliest. It requires a community around you, because it's really hard to get that encouragement to reinvest again and again and again.” – Minna Khounlo-Sithep

“What got us here is going to be different than what gets us to a $10 million plus business.” – Jacqueline Snyder

“You can always make more money, you can’t make more time.” – Minna Khounlo-Sithep

Marriage is sacred.

It is the purest expression of commitment between two people. Getting married means sharing your joy, your sadness, and your life with someone else.

It means welcoming that person with open hands and an open heart and forming a family together.

And most importantly, it means being willing to work together to build something bigger and brighter than you are.

A decade ago I made a decision, and said yes to all of this. Or at least, I said “I do.” I married James and I never looked back.

Today though, he and I will be looking back, as we celebrate our ten year marriage anniversary –I know, it sounds like a lot, but it truly isn’t–.

Listen in as today James and I share the ten most important lessons we’ve learned during our ten years of marriage.

From the importance of goofy moments in a marriage (it’s time to embrace the silliness!) to why being your authentic self can help you maintain a healthy relationship, we’ll discuss it all!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:10] James shares the story of how we met
[06:13] Here’s to silliness!
[08:59] Why honestly in a marriage is crucial
[14:59] Here’s why going to bed angry with each other is never a good idea
[16:54] You need to be fulfilled to be a good partner
[18:58] This isn’t a solo game, you’re a team!
[21:43] Always remember: It’s okay to do things differently
[29:43] There is a difference between spending time together and being present with one another

Quotes:

“I had moved to London about a year before [James and I met], just completely on a whim, and I didn't know anyone there, I just felt like I was meant to live there. And obviously, as fate would have it, we met online.” – Emily Williams

“What it was for me, and I don't think I was conscious about it at the time, but looking back, it was that Emily and I have something in common, and that is that we both kind of go against the grain of what those that knew us would have assumed we do.” – James Williams

“When you first meet someone, obviously, it's quite surface level things you're looking for, you know. someone who you're attracted to, someone that has similar ideals, right? But I can honestly say, as I am reflecting on the things I love the most about Emily, it's those times where Emily is completely and utterly vulnerable and open with me, which often looks like the goofy side.” – James Williams

“The first lesson that I want to share is to always be honest about what you need [with your partner].” – Emily Williams

“People say that relationships are all about compromise. And I get what they're trying to say there, but I do think it's possible for both of us to live our authentic lives, to be honest, to put ourselves first, and still have an amazing relationship.” – Emily Williams

“There is a difference between spending time together and being present with one another.” – James Williams

To many of us entrepreneurs, starting a business means starting a financial journey that’s not always a hundred percent safe.

And yet, we do it. We do it for the thrill, we do it for the adventure, we do it for the dreams, and of course, we do it for the wealth.

Creating wealth, true wealth, doesn’t always come easy; which is why asking for the help of an expert is never a bad idea.

And you know it already, this is exactly what we’re doing in this week’s episode of I Heart My Life!

Everyone, I want you to meet this week’s guest on the show, the brilliant Kiana Danial.

Kiana is the CEO of Invest Diva and a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author. She is also an award-winning, internationally recognized personal investing and wealth creation expert.

She truly is the perfect woman for this, am I right?

Having been featured in The Wall Street Journal, TIME, Forbes, Kiplinger, Business Insider, TheStreet, Nasdaq, Fox Business, CNN, Yahoo! Finance, and Cheddar, Kiana is a highly sought-after commentator, professional speaker, and executive coach.

Using her Diva Wealth Ecosystem, she has built an 8-figure net worth within three years.

Pretty impressive stuff!

Well, lucky for you, today, Kiana is here to share all her knowledge and secrets with us.

Listen in as she and I discuss how entrepreneurs and business owners can learn to manage their money, invest it, and create true generational wealth.

I hope you’re just as excited as I am for this!

[34:46] Kiana discusses her new book
[37:31] Kiana tells us how we can create a life that’s better than our dreams

“If you can't manage a hundred bucks, you cannot manage a hundred thousand dollars, and you definitely cannot manage a million dollars.” – Kiana Danial

“A personal family emergency fund, depending on your age, your income potential, and your health, is anywhere between three to twelve months of your essential monthly expenses saved in a high yield savings account.” – Kiana Danial

“There are little things that anybody can do to take control of their financial future and ensure that their money is going to continue making more money on their behalf.” – Kiana Danial

Our brains are what makes us human and differentiates us from other primates.

They’re big, they’re heavy, and they are as complex as the universe itself. They are also constantly changing and evolving.

So it’s safe to say that learning as much as we can about the human brain is never a bad idea.

After all, our neurological makeup controls much of who we are and what we do… or so some would say.

But in today’s episode, I’ve invited a specialist of the brain, the brilliant Dr. Philippe Douyon, who does not believe in this inevitability.

Dr. Douyon is a Board Certified Neurologist who helps high-performance individuals and business leaders crack the code to hacking the most powerful tool at our disposal… you’ve guessed it, the human brain!

In this episode, he and I will be discussing the many interesting facets of the human brain, what neuroplasticity is, how the brain changes and evolves over time, how to rewire our brains for better performance (and a better life), and more.

Dr. Douyon will also be busting the prevalent myth that we’re victims to our neurological makeup (which is something I’m super excited for).

Are you ready to have your mind blown (pun intended)?

Tune in now!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[00:39] Dr. Douyon introduces himself
[03:08] Here’s what “neuroplasticity” means
[08:45] Dr. Douyon tells us how we can use our brains to create the life of our dreams
[15:49] Here’s how you can increase your dopamine levels
[24:11] How to keep a positive frame of mind when science is not on your side
[26:48] Wondering what you can do to rewire your brain? Here are a few practical tips for you!
[32:10] Dr. Douyon’s thoughts on education
[34:46] “Am I actually rewiring my brain?”
[38:27] Learn more about Dr. Douyon’s book

Quotes:

“Neuroplasticity is really about how the brain changes, how it adapts, how it learns, [and] how it heals from injury. And it really speaks to the fact that our brains are constantly making new neurons and new connections.” – Dr. Philippe Douyon

“There are decisions that we can make every single day that influence how our brains change. And that's incredibly powerful. The reality is that if our brains are constantly changing, that means that we're capable of changing as individuals, as communities, and as a society.” – Dr. Philippe Douyon

“Just like we have to be mindful about what we feed our bodies, we also have to be mindful about what we’re taking into our brain.” – Dr. Philippe Douyon

“One of the biggest myths when it comes to Alzheimer's disease is that it's not a lifestyle issue. The reality is, it's very much a lifestyle issue. If people are eating poorly, if they have poor sleeping habits, if they don't exercise, they're more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.” – Dr. Philippe Douyon

“For business owners, for entrepreneurs, for professionals, it's so important that we are constantly learning [because] that learning process allows our brains to make new neurons and new connections.” – Dr. Philippe Douyon

“In order for you to stop a habit that's not healthy for you, you have to be motivated to do it.” – Dr. Philippe Douyon

Have you ever thought about your spirit like a source, a potent energy full of divine wisdom? If you haven’t, allow us to refresh your perspective a bit.

Spirituality is intertwined with the human experience, and currently making its comeback through media and business. And because it’s re-emerging amidst the age of hustle culture, we’re now able to address our spiritual burnout more than ever.

Your body, mind, and soul are all connected, so if you learn to work with them on a deeper level... your healing (and possibilities) become abundant. Which is exactly what Dr. Erin discovered on her pursuit of truth, healing, and alignment!

Dr. Erin, also known as the Doctor of Divinity, is a multifaceted guru in her own right. After suffering a stillbirth in her early twenties, she was spiritually broke— and seeking to create her own wealth.

Now she’s made it her mission to educate the masses on the energetics of trauma to heighten our healing at the soul level. It’s through her top-rated podcast, best-seller books and coaching programs that she bridges the gap between science, spirituality, and psychology to cultivate something extraordinary… And right here on the IHML Show!

In this episode, Dr. Erin and I investigate the many facets of spiritual and traditional psychology that inspired her creation of the E4 Trauma Method.

Dr. Erin is also delving into intergenerational trauma, exciting things to come in her business, how to transform your trauma and discover your soul’s purpose!

Dr. Erin’s work has cultivated a new paradigm of inner work that enriches the human experience as it wholly deserves. This woman’s magnificent mind, warmth, and vibrancy is a great reminder that you can overcome anything... all you have to do is put a little soul into it!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:25] Dr. Erin kicks the conversation off by taking us back to how she chose her path!
[03:51] This is how Dr. Erin got closer to fulfillment after her many wakeup calls.
[06:46] How to start deep inner work blocking your manifestations, according to Dr. Erin!
[10:57] Dr. Erin dives into deeper detail regarding trauma work utilizing her own methods as well as others.
[13:14] Why you can’t keep what you don’t give away, according to Dr. Erin...
[14:21] Dr. Erin addresses the big buzz around intergenerational trauma, and how she herself overcame it in her own family dynamic.
[21:40] This is how (and why) you should be more conscious of how you serve your relationships.
[25:29] Dr. Erin harps on the identity shifts that organically occur in the journey of parenthood.
[27:13] Did you know trauma can have an impact on your wealth creation? Dr. Erin draws distinct connections, and how you can move through those blocks!
[29:17] Dr. Erin gushes about the exciting things to come in her business.
[32:53] This is the doctor’s order for how to create a life better than your dreams!

Quotes:

“I was 30 and I had this moment of like, ‘Hey, I'm a millionaire, but I'm too unfulfilled.’ I was living a double life. I was literally trying to live the life that the world told me I was supposed to live.” — Dr. Erin

“Doing your trauma work is for sure the most important thing, because your soul's calling is your soul. Until you have done your soul's work, you won't know your true soul’s calling.” — Dr. Erin

“You need to surround yourself in an environment of people that are holding you in truth and that are doing their work so that you can stay in that frequency.” — Dr. Erin

“We can have these spiritual things, but we need to deal with the actual DNA and the subconscious work.” — Dr. Erin

“It's not what happens to you. It's what happens within you.” — Dr. Erin

“I'm doing work for the collective in my trauma work. I'm doing work for my lineage and things like that. And that's why I do service every day.” — Dr. Erin

“Love if you wanna experience love, [but] you can't fully have love unless you are the expression of love and you give love away.” — Dr. Erin

“In order to be fully free in this lifetime and fully empowered, we need to be fully free and empowered in those [parental] relationships.” — Dr. Erin

“So of course having a non-judgment, practicing non-judgment is for sure the number one thing, unconditional love to yourself. Because think about that, don't you wanna teach your child unconditional love? If they don't see you unconditionally loving yourself, they're not gonna learn unconditional love. If our children don't see us unconditionally loving ourselves, they won't be able to unconditionally love themselves.” — Dr. Erin

“We're not our status. We're not our bank account status. We're not even our bodies. We're not the circumstances. We're not even our beliefs. We're actually the creator of all of it.” — Dr. Erin

“I believe we're kind of all born for particular expressions, if you will. And for me, when I'm most in that genius zone is generally in person.” — Dr. Erin

For many people, bearing the weight of the world can feel heavy and almost never-ending. As a society, we’ve been conditioned to do so much: push through, focus on the next best thing, and seldom stop to take in the moment.

But just imagine if we were given the tools, time, and space to embrace our journey and focus on the deeper feelings that mold it. Entertain that reality in your mind… because it can be yours! And way sooner than you might believe…

Working in the coaching and entrepreneurial space has opened me up to the ever-evolving world of mindset work. Even before I launched my own business, I always sought to cultivate alignment in my life.

So over the years, I’ve made it a point to address it in my ongoing conversations with both colleagues and friends. Which, you can imagine, was beyond eye-opening for me and everyone I’ve worked with…

This is why this week’s IHML Show is all about the recent transformational mindset hacks that I’m implementing. I’m sharing the three mindset shifts I’m currently leaning into and why they’re crucial to my current reality.

I’ll also be sharing the questions and affirmations I’ve found most helpful in my mindset journey, despite all the societal conditioning that counters them. It’s my mission, as well as I Heart My Life’s, to candidly embrace the human experience so we could make it better.

In This Episode:

[00:00] My 3 mindset shifts
[01:34] Emily shares the first big shift she’s been leaning into (thanks to an amazing previous guest).
[07:01] Save your seat for my Love Your Life Masterclass
[08:00] How the feeling of relief can drastically shift your mindset, thanks to Emily and her powerful conversations with colleagues.
[12:20] This is the three-word statement that’s empowered Emily’s mindset.
[14:32] For those feeling the weight of the world right now, Emily has this super amazing mindset challenge for you (and some helpful advice)…

Quotes:

“I've been tuning into both of those questions: How do you wanna feel and what do you wanna embody?” — Emily Williams

“When we take it one step further, it makes it much easier to make decisions that are gonna be in alignment with the goals that we have.” — Emily Williams

“Tune in to what word really feels aligned for you and go past that initial excitement point if that's kind of where you're landing at the moment because there's something deeper on the other side.” — Emily Williams

“When you tune into relief and it's like a breath, a sigh of relief, right? Our shoulders automatically go down and [we] feel less stressed. There's less anxiety in our bodies when we tune into that. And [when] we ask ourselves that question, it opens up so many doors and a level of awareness that we might not have had before.” — Emily Williams

“A big theme of today's episode is really you tuning in and trusting your intuition. Just giving yourself the time and space to even ask these questions of success and going to the next level, and you becoming the best version of yourself and creating more joy and happiness is about personal awareness.” — Emily Williams

“We're moving so quickly as a society that we don't let ourselves tune in to what the reality actually is and what we truly need. But the amazing thing is, our body will tell us.” — Emily Williams

“When we tune in and we give ourselves the time and the space, it can bring about such awareness that it enables us to be crystal clear. And then we can make decisions from that place.” — Emily Williams

“So many people are struggling at this point in time and are nervous about what's coming in the world. And we can get so overwhelmed with the current reality and forget that we are doing great.” — Emily Williams

What if I were to tell you that your imagination may be what’s holding you back from the infinite breadth of possibility... and there’s no one “right path” for you to follow?

I know that may sound counterproductive to everything you’ve been taught about creating and manifesting, but it’s part of today’s conversation on IHML.

What you believe about yourself and your desires is only going to frame you, not free you. In order to fully experience life, you have to open yourself to all of it. That total and complete surrender might sound terrifying, impossible even, but it’s not.

For wellbeing creator and transformational artist Dorota Stanczyk, releasing everything she believed (and wanted) was the key to her second (and most abundant) life chapter.

Dorota Stanczyk comes from a rich line of healers. Her family possesses various gifts, ranging from clairvoyance to being mediums. And although Dorota knew exactly where she came from, she rejected that part of her in every sense. So much so she acquired a debilitating autoimmune disease.

It took complete surrender to her illness, repressed trauma, and self-rejection to reconnect with her body... and in turn, her sense of self.

Now, Dorota has made it her mission to utilize her love of creativity, fine art and personal growth to create informative exhibitions that showcase a new paradigm of living.

Her work with celebrities, high-performance technology, and even being a Creative Director has taken the world by storm— including us here at I Heart My Life!

I had such a transformative experience with Dorota myself that I felt utterly compelled to bring her onto the IHML Show.

This week on the IHML Show, Dorota is taking us through her personal journey with complete surrender.

Not only is she sharing her secrets to attracting abundance and healing her own autoimmune disease, but the transformational shifts she experienced to do so!

Plus, Dorota tells us about her book (Re)create Yourself and how to release emotions trapped in the body.

If you thought you knew everything you needed to create your dream life... prepare to have your mind blown! Dorota’s creativity, wisdom, and potent spiritual powers are going to send you positively spiraling!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:01] Dorota delves into her deep lineage of healers, and her early introductions to the world of energy work.
[02:49] What did Dorota experience in the early brewings of her gifts? She tells us!
[06:39] This is how Dorota’s tumultuous family dynamic ultimately helped her embrace her undeniable power.
[14:03] Dorota dives into what she means when she lets go of everything, and describes what the complexity of full acceptance looks like in her life.
[19:50] How to put yourself in a state of receiving abundance, according to Dorota!
[24:52] For those of you asking how to raise your vibes, Dorota has advice for you...
[31:44] Dorota takes us back to the start of her second chapter, and how she evolved as a healer and author.
[37:27] Why you shouldn’t be afraid of change— according to Dorota!
[39:25] Dorota shares her philosophy on releasing emotions trapped in your body.
[46:07] How Dorota healed her autoimmune disease.
[48:58] Dorota spills deets on her upcoming book, and where to find it
[51:36] What to do to create a life better than your dreams, in the wise words of Dorota.

Quotes:

“Whenever I enter someone's aura, I receive some sort of mood board. So I can literally look at, feel the person and almost have a visual representation of that person's life. And that's a very beautiful gift because every time I even walk in a park, I will meet someone's aura. It's like this constant movie that’s projected and given to me, and it took me years to learn to use that and to use that well.” — Dorota Stanczyk

“When I started to meditate, it was like coming back home. It was like, I knew that it wasn't something I was doing for the first time. And on the first day I detached from my physical body, I could re-experience my body. I was re-experiencing the energies.” — Dorota Stanczyk

“I had to be pushed to the rock bottom. I had to be pushed to completely break and fall completely apart in order to do that in order to surrender. Because when you live and grew up in so little safety of an environment, what happens to you? You learn to control your environment. You learn to control yourself in order to build that sense of security, that sense of safety. By trying to control yourself and your life, you judge that a certain way is the right way for you.” — Dorota Stanczyk (14:25- 15:06)

“Every path is the right path, because every path will eventually lead you to reconnection to yourself. You can make this path longer, you can make it more painful. You can make it more complicated, but every way is the right way, right there.” — Dorota Stanczyk

“So we should never judge this experience as better or good, because maybe this experience is the perfect experience we are supposed to go through in that specific moment.” — Dorota Stanczyk (16:45 - 16:54)

“And there is, you know, a lot of different philosophies saying, ‘you need to feel the energy of, of whatever you are desiring. You need to feel the abundance you need to feel love.’ And it's partially true. It definitely helps to feel a whole [feeling], I would say. Don't even go specific, because from a place of whole, you will attract absolutely everything.” — Dorota Stanczyk

“I focused mostly on being in the state of receiving and not any longer on even manifesting or creating, because I assume that whatever I am imagining is right for me, I can't possibly know if that thing is truly right for me.” — Dorota Stanczyk

“You are the magnet that is constantly attracting things to you.” — Dorota Stanczyk

“When you quiet your mind, you allow yourself to drop to the state of presence. The state of being present is the state of your highest vibration.” — Dorota Stanczyk

“So the easiest way to see how much you're evolving is to see what is changing in your physical reality. That is only in extension of you. So, you know, clearly if you are magnetizing towards those people at that level, you've done the work and you are ready to resonate in that level, which is beautiful. Right?” — Dorota Stanczyk

“Before I release an emotion, I am checking exactly where the emotions are trapped and I'm working by intention.” — Dorota Stanczyk

“It strips you, it undresses you from who you think you are to allow you to recreate yourself completely new from the place of a curiosity and unconditional love for yourself. And it's really all the practices that, at least for me, really set me free.” — Dorota Stanczyk, about her new book (Re)create Yourself

“Your imagination is your greatest limit because you can't imagine what you don't know. You can't imagine what is not familiar. So let go of your dreams and let life design your reality.” — Dorota Stanczyk - (51:40 - 51:57)

Pregnancy is a big part of a mother’s journey. It has its ups and downs, and it is filled with incredible memories.

However, not all is always so bright and happy for pregnant women. Sometimes, you just find yourself lost and overwhelmed by everything that comes with the experience.

Those feelings are perfectly natural.

Women go through a lot of changes, physical and mental, during pregnancy, and when they don’t have the help they need, it can be a pretty daunting experience.

Which is why women like Melissa Ambrosini are a godsend!

Melissa is a proud mama, author, and podcaster. She is brilliant and beautiful, and today, she’s here to help women like you and me (because, as I’ve announced a few episodes ago, I am pregnant!!) have a blissful pregnancy by teaching them how to prepare for this unique experience.

Her business is all about helping future mamas learn about conscious conception, love their bodies and the changes that happen to it during pregnancy, and truly enjoy those nine months of bliss.

Listen in as she and I discuss this and more, such as how to have an empowered birth, the secrets to conscious parenting, and how to let go of fears around pregnancy and birth.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:45] Melissa talks about the work that’s led her to where she is today.
[10:33] Conscious conception - What is it? And how does it work? Melissa shares all the secrets today!
[17:26] Here’s what a blissful pregnancy looks like.
[29:25] Melissa’s very own birth story.
[40:47] How birth changes things behind the scenes.
[43:52] What you need to know about Melissa’s Wholy Mama program.
[46:59] How to create a life that’s better than your dreams according to Melissa.

Quotes:

“I began on my conscious conception journey [when I first met my husband] because I knew that one day, we would have a baby. And when that feeling within me ignited, it literally flicked in overnight, I woke up the next morning, and I turned to my husband and I said, ‘I'm ready’.” – Melissa Ambrosini

“The body is a very important piece [in conscious conception] because it’s the vessel and the vehicle that the baby resides in for that period of time. So it's really important that our vehicle is healthy and thriving.” – Melissa Ambrosini

“The more preparation that you do during your pregnancy for birth, the better.” – Melissa Ambrosini

“When we look at any fears that are coming up beforehand, we can then go into the birth present, and allow whatever experience is meant to unfold to unfold.” – Melissa Ambrosini

“My birth was the most expansive, beautiful, stretching, physically and metaphorically, experience. When I think back to my birth, I am so proud of myself.” – Melissa Ambrosini

“Your birthing team is so important because birth is a very intimate experience. It's one of the most sacred and precious and intimate moments of your life. You've got to feel safe, and you've got to feel private, and you've got to feel uninhibited. So it's really important when you're thinking about your birth, to think about who would you like there? Who do you feel really comfortable with?” – Melissa Ambrosini (30:55 - 32:15)

The biggest breakthroughs ensue when you surrender to your feeling(s). Yes, even the negative ones.

Basking in the bad feels, instead of bypassing them, might just be the key to overcoming your greatest setbacks and difficulties.

Why? Because your most negative feelings, physical or otherwise, are trying to tell you what you need to hear most: you are strong and capable of withstanding anything.

Feelings, both positive and negative, are embodiments of our intuition. So when we ignore the pain of a bad back injury or can’t admit that our marriage is failing, we aren’t following our knowing. And in turn, limiting our beliefs that we can experience vibrant, larger-than-life opportunities.

So when Skip Kelly was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build his own brand in public speaking, he knew he wasn’t ready.

He knew there was so much more inside him just waiting to be released, so that he could return to this opportunity (or one similar) with the wisdom, grace and fulfillment he knew was integral to his message.

Skip Kelly is not your average podcast host. He’s cultivated a multi-faceted movement that prioritizes mindfulness, mindset, and most importantly belief.

After a grueling back injury at the age of eighteen, he gathered as much knowledge as possible to heal himself.

In the midst of this journey, he discovered a magical practice: The art of surrender. By facing his pain and conflicting emotions head-on, he realized that attuning to his instincts bridged the gap between his beliefs and actions.

Before he knew it, he was teaching the masses!

It’s time to lean into your intuition and listen to the secrets it whispers back to you. And if you’re ready to learn how to do so, then this IHML Show episode is perfect for you!

In this episode, I have Skip Kelly on as an amazing guest to talk about his work, what is fulfillment, how we can heal through surrender, and the beauty behind our struggles.

Skip is showing up with nothing but true vulnerability, wisdom, and insight that’ll inspire you like never before!

Believe me, I know how scary it is to face the fears fueling your feelings. But if there’s anything Skip and I want you to remember from our time together, it’s this: The unknown is full of profound surprises and the possibility that you might find what you’re looking for.

In This Episode:

[01:17] Skip shows us around the pivotal twists and turns that brought him into his work.
[05:38] What is fulfillment? Skip breaks it down, and how it inspires his podcast!
[09:52] How a grueling back injury implored Skip to heal himself— from the inside out.
[13:00] Skip shares how he brought his knowledge of healing to the masses!
[16:58] Listen to Skip harp on the importance of belief and mindset in his work... and whether or not people don’t want to heal subconsciously.
[18:48] Skip circles us back to the very essence of his work and how his podcast, program, and practices emulate his impact.
[25:57] The art of surrender, as described by Skip and Emily.
[29:38] This is how Skip moves through fear and insecurity within his big visions!
[34:02] Skip frames this particular mindset eloquently and effectively.
[35:47] And of course, we ask Skip: What’s the secret to a life better than your dreams?

Quotes:

“Eventually he [Eric Bostick] offered to build my own brand so that I could sell my own speaking stuff and be on the road with him. And I actually said no to that. I don't know where that wisdom came from at the time, but I just knew that I needed to get more life experiences so that I could speak from a place of wisdom and knowledge.” — Skip Kelly

“Fulfillment is a deeper feeling of happiness. If happiness is being really joyful in a moment and everyone can define it differently. And I know there's lots of awesome definitions out there of it, but for me, it's being happy in a moment, creating happy memories and that doesn't necessarily have to be good stuff. It could also be challenging things, things that you learn from, right? So, fulfillment comes from experiencing the depth of life in a way where you have the perspective that it was positive towards your growth, right? The hardest things in life can be fulfilling. And the most amazing things in life can be fulfilling.” — Skip Kelly (05:47 - 06:20)

“It's almost like if you learn the English language and then fell in love with cursive and not print, and then you just kind of went down that rabbit hole far enough to like where cursive was invented. That's kind of what I did with this physical exercise thing.” — Skip Kelly

“Sometimes it feels good to struggle and sometimes it feels good to have anger or grief. It's like sometimes you get those breakthrough moments where you're totally transcendent and you're like, ‘wow, I feel like I could do anything’, but I kind of like this little pain that I'm dealing with.” — Skip Kelly (17:07- 17:23)

“There can't be strong without weak and there can't be fun without boring.” — Skip Kelly

“We know there's something profound that we should do, but there's also fear because we know how much our life could change.” — Skip Kelly

“The thing we always taught was that your body is perfect. And as soon as you take that perspective and you start from that seed and you work outwards, if your body is perfect, is any injury bad? No. If your body is perfect, are any symptoms bad? No. As soon as you start looking at it from that perspective, that the symptom must be a good thing, that the injury must be a good thing. It changes the way that you deal with it. And that's why this stuff works so quickly because we started using the body's own system to heal itself, rather than us saying, the body is making a mistake.” — Skip Kelly (22:04 - 22:34)

“We always want more of all of these things, podcasts, coaches, right? Of art, of music, of movies, of content. It's always gonna affect someone profoundly. And that's a beautiful gift to give the world. So I started a podcast production company and started a course curation company to help people really create courses at a high level.” — Skip Kelly

“I have tons of doubt, fear, and insecurity—just like anyone would. There was a point in time where I really strived to have as little doubt, fear, and insecurity as possible. That is no longer the case. The difference is in surrendering to the doubt, fear, and insecurity.” — Skip Kelly

“The surrender, the allowing and enjoying is you allowing yourself to enjoy it rather than fighting all this resistance, right? So even if it sounds like a smart decision, I think following your intuition, following your part is always gonna lead you down a better path to surprises and the unknown of things you could have never imagined coming true.” — Skip Kelly

“It's [intuition] always there, no matter what is going on, even a life or death situation. If you can just get really present, there's a feeling in you that's always guiding you to the most perfect, most beautiful outcome possible.” — Skip Kelly

There are infinite ways we can showcase our love. We can shower our loved ones with affirmations, spoil them with gifts, make time for quality experiences— really the list is endless!

So why is it we become so paralyzed by the thought of showing ourselves similar graciousness?

It’s because real acceptance and growth come from forgiveness and responsibility, not passivity and resentment. We’ve been conditioned to act (and believe) the latter, but now’s a more perfect time than ever to release that painful pressure and be free.

Whether they are good, bad, or downright dark, our experiences are valid. And we shouldn’t expect ourselves to move through them in a linear fashion, like a train on a schedule.

The intelligence of our emotions should be what guides our path, instead of some made up checkpoints. That’s one of the infinitely inspirational ideas I picked up from a new read of mine, written by a dear friend and true visionary: Danielle LaPorte.

Danielle LaPorte is a best-selling author, inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, and blogger all about living a heart-centered life. Her first best-seller, The Desire Map: A Guide to Creating Goals with Soul, inspired us all to reclaim our self-agency through the power of emotion.

Now she’s back with an upcoming book titled How To Be Loving, and it’s not (entirely) what you think it’s about. The book details more than just kindness and ‘being better’, but the very real (and necessary) bereavement of your emotional and mental boogeymen.

So, what better way to celebrate this new creation than ripping the monsters out from under our metaphorical bed and giving them some tender love?

It’s been a long while since Danielle and I have spoken on the IHML Show— and this made for the perfect reunion!

Together on this episode, Danielle and I move through the key points of her newest book hitting the shelves October 11th, and how this piece differs from her last published work.

She also shares vulnerable personal experiences and what they’ve taught her about embodiment, creating versus attracting, and why spiritual bypassing is not the way to go!

If you’re looking for a crash course on how to change everything from within, this episode is the perfect starting point!

Danielle’s spirit, soul, and sense of self are so riveting they’ll have you itching to turn the page and begin a new chapter in your life.

Start living your life like it’s your favorite novel, and make the plot your own!

In This Episode:

[01:02] Danielle doesn’t hold back on her synopsis (or her excitement) for her upcoming book How To Be Loving!
[02:20] Why Danielle starts her book off by talking about her year-in-review, and seriously considers walking away from her creative life— and the catalyst for that.
[08:36] Danielle deep dives into the transition from her first book Desire Maps to How To Be Loving, and how she implemented this change in her curriculum.
[13:27] Listen to Danielle share her insight into visions & having goals (or lack thereof).
[15:55] Why do lessons repeat themselves? This is Danielle’s insightful perspective...
[21:10] Taking responsibility for what we've created in our lives — and how Danielle differentiates between that and something we've attracted passively.
[24:00] The layers of responsibility for our hardships and restoring balance through forgiveness, as told (and experienced) by Danielle!
[27:19] Danielle dissects spiritual bypassing, and why that’s not the goal.
[28:51] How Danielle moved through what she calls The Dark Night of the Soul, and what she recommends for anyone enduring a tough period of life.
[37:04] The two kinds of children and what they require from us, according to Danielle!
[42:11] So, who’s the new Danielle? Emily and Danielle reflect on all the changes since their last conversation together in 2019!
[45:49] Danielle answers the timeless IHML question: how can you create a life better than your dreams?

Quotes:

“Some people might be surprised when they get in [the new book]. It's not how to be kind, or how to listen better. I mean, that all shows up, but it's basically clean up your own house, bereavement for all your own boogeyman and then watch what happens. “ — Danielle LaPorte

“I think, being on the personal path, there can be this arrogance that comes with it.” — Danielle LaPorte

“I really got to this place of like, ‘if you don't use your gifts and your privilege and your natural abilities, that's actually a disservice to life and everybody.’” — Danielle LaPorte

“I think sometimes with letting go, well, my philosophy now is you have to bless it and release it. So whether it's money or relationships or jobs or whatever you've been desiring, or all that negative stuff you wanna let go of, you wanna let go of that relationship dynamic or the person who's driving you nuts, the karma. Whatever it is, all that stuff wants your attention, all of it. You created it, you made the relationship, you made the job you. So it just wants to be loved. It wants to be acknowledged, then it will peace out.’” — Danielle LaPorte

“It actually doesn't matter how I feel, what matters is what I am being. And then the question moved into, ‘what do I want to embody?’ No matter what, no matter whether the cash flow is happening or the relationship is harmonious that day, or I'm in perfect health, no matter what I wanna be loved, no matter what I wanna be compassionate, I wanna be resilient no matter what.” — Danielle LaPorte (9:53- 10:18)

“Of course, have goals. Just be clear on what's motivating them. Are they ego centered goals or are they heart centered goals? I think what's more important is to have a vision.” — Danielle LaPorte

“The thing with not getting the lesson the first time is there can be this punishment that we put ourselves through. It's like, ‘ah, I'm getting this again. Why didn't I evolve enough? It didn't stick.’ No, no, no, no. Then we're really missing the lesson, which is we become super compassionate with ourselves.” — Danielle LaPorte

“I think because we're so progress obsessed, we think,’oh, I achieve this, next. I expand, I achieve this, next. Get bigger. I work through that in therapy, check. Then I did that workshop, check check. And we see it as this straight line, like we're trains on a track. It is not that way. The most helpful visual is we are a planet and there are all these constellations and stars and weather patterns around us. And if we do one thing, it shifts everything. And if some event happens in our life with someone else, because we're all connected, it shifts us. So it's really the butterfly effect of inner growth. We don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. We could be stronger. We could be weaker. We could be impacted by what our person is going through. And that is going to bring up different stuff at different times.” — Danielle LaPorte

"You can let go of the pressure to be at a certain point of success by a certain stage of your life...You are not a train on a track with a schedule." — Danielle LaPorte in How To Be Loving (20:29 - 20:35)

“We're creating the thoughts that then hang out in our energy field. And those are the magnets and attract the most important thing on the path.” — Danielle LaPorte

“So often we think about karma as like, ‘I did this and I'm getting punished or, you know, Karma's just balance.’ So the soul says, ‘Okay, remember that time where you were a little bit greedy? We're gonna give you just this little opportunity for you to balance that out. You get to be generous.’ Now it's just bringing things back into balance, bringing it back into balance.” — Danielle LaPorte

“Spiritual bypassing is when you use spirituality and self-help ideas to really just sugarcoat some pain. Something terrible happens and you say, ’well, everything happens for a reason. Or, um, there's a gift in this.’ Look, I believe both of those things philosophically, but you can't bypass it. You have to be like, ‘wow, there was impact. This really stirred this up. Here's the emotional response I had. This is really painful.’ And that's the beauty of those circumstances.” — Danielle LaPorte (27:35-28:12)

“The whole thing with suffering is you get to look at it and see what your reactions are, make the unconscious conscious, bring it to the light. So yeah, before you see the gift, you have to look at the impact.” — Danielle LaPorte

“I was able to really transmute all of that pain into power, but I had to see all of that pain first.” — Danielle LaPorte

There’s no bond like the one between a child and a parent. So it’s no wonder that choosing to be a mother, or a parent in its entirety, is a powerful journey in itself.

The physical, emotional, and even spiritual connection you and your child have nearly transcends the relationship you have with yourself alongside everything you’ve built in your life. Which, admittedly, can be scary at first— trust me, I would know.

My husband James and I have been enjoying this budding new stage in our life: growing our family. I’m nearly twenty weeks along in my first pregnancy, and so much has already happened!

But believe me, this beautiful journey started long before I rejoiced with an unexpected yet expected (this will make more sense when you listen to the episode!) positive pregnancy test in hand.

I knew that I was always destined to be a mother, but there were other facets to me that proved just as meaningful to my life. Which, in turn, has magnified my pure instinct to navigate this journey as I have been: with full surrender, pure openness, and intention. Oh, and a beautifully transformational environment of course!

This is a story I’ve been thinking about for some time now, it’s time I share…

That’s why on this week’s episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I’m outpouring the intimate and inspiring journey of my conception and pregnancy thus far!

I’ll be detailing the deep body and mindset work I invested in to get here, creating intention surrounding our baby’s conception, being a multifaceted entrepreneur and expecting mom, plus the journey that’s to come in future episodes!

I’ll admit, I had to record this episode twice. Pregnancy brain hasn’t hit (just yet), but I cannot help but overpour the gratitude and love I’ve been feeling the last few months.

This baby is going to come into this world knowing exactly what it means to heart your life (and those that are in it)! We are so excited to share this journey with you.

In This Episode:

[00:00] Emily warmly welcomes us with her intentions and deep reflections in light of today’s episode!
[03:04] So, let’s take it back through the eight years in the making of Emily’s current reality.
[07:06] How Emily moved through the projections of doubt, worry, and fear surrounding her desires surrounding pregnancy.
[08:47] These are the calls and questions that Emily experienced about where and how she wanted to have a baby.
[12:38] Emily shares how she really tuned in to what she needed for this beautiful stage of her life.
[14:25] Check out this book Emily recommends for all those looking to get pregnant, or already care for their own beautiful babies!
[15:17] This is the beginning of Emily and James’ conception story!
[18:39] What it means to be in full surrender, as told (and experienced) by Emily!
[21:42] Emily shares her biggest shift amidst her journey with pregnancy so far.

Quotes:

“I knew there was something else in store for me, in addition to that role [of motherhood]. And so for me, it was really important to get that moving before motherhood became a part of this scenario.” — Emily Williams

“I was, and I still am, so in love with the work that I do and I'm so involved in many different components of it that to think that I'd be able to essentially turn over my body to another sort of life and have the changes occur and the tiredness and the queasiness and all the stuff that we all hear comes along with pregnancy— I didn't know how I would navigate that and be running a business.” — Emily Williams (5:04- 5:33)

“I have a level of trust with myself and with my body and with timing that I've been able to apply to many areas of my life. And so I figured it would be the same with the baby.” — Emily Williams

“I chose to believe that for me, if this path was right and we were meant to have a child or children, it would happen, period.” — Emily Williams

“We're so susceptible to other people's opinions that they seep in and cause us to go into fear, doubt, worry, concern—all the things—and block what it is that we actually want.”— Emily Williams

“We were in full trust around the scenario. We didn't rush anything. We didn't put any pressure on ourselves. We were just completely open.” — Emily Williams

“For the past year or so, I've been working on myself really diligently. I hired a therapist and I hired a nutritionist. Now I didn't do this with the intention of making space or like setting my body up to have a baby, that actually never even entered my mind. If I'm being completely honest, it was all about me healing and tuning into what I personally need at this stage. Now, do I think that played a part in me, conceiving? Absolutely. I cleared out so much. My body was healthier. I was in a beautiful frame of mind in terms of mindset and releasing traumas, and some of the things that were holding me back for many years, or even decades. — Emily Williams

“That was the intention, just to start trying and not have an agenda. And we were well aware that we can't predict the timeline of how long things are gonna take. And yet we were really open and just free with the whole thing. And we got pregnant on the first try and that was not something I ever expected.” — Emily Williams

“It's interesting to start to trust your body and understand that your body knows what to do.” — Emily Williams

“So much of my life has been about pushing, it's about things feeling really difficult. It's been about, ‘there's never enough’, and those are all things I'm consistently working on. But for this conception, [it] was just so almost effortless for lack of a better word.” — Emily Williams (21:19 - 21:39)

“I also know it's not healthy to be attached to your company and the way that I have been for so many years, I know my worth is not tied to the work that I do. So it's a really beautiful sort of shift in the start of releasing some of that attachment that's not serving me and hasn't been serving me and being able to be ambitious, but also having other important aspects to my life. Like being a mother, being a wife, being a friend, being a daughter, being somebody who loves to take time off, who loves to travel, who loves to throw parties, the list goes on and on and on.” — Emily Williams

“We aren't just business owners or career women. We have other facets to us.” — Emily Williams

The messy mistakes of entrepreneurship go to show that everything evolves from nothing— or something we believe to be nothing.

Mistakes are the reminders that not everything is meant to work out the way we expect or want, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t meant for us.

In many cases, like Jaclyn Johnson’s, the messy mistakes were integral to the trajectory of the beautiful journey to personal success!

Jaclyn Johnson, “the ultimate multi-hyphenate,” never thought she would be an entrepreneur.

After moving to LA and getting let go from her marketing job, she had no idea what was in store for her career. Meanwhile, she was circulating events as a blogger, at a time in which blogging was considered the wild west of the Internet.

When she miraculously met another ambitious woman with an idea for a company (at one of these very same events), Jaclyn was in!

Before she knew it, Jaclyn was running the social media and creative side of her very own marketing agency: No Subject.

It’s been over a decade since Jaclyn stepped into her role as a CEO, and has lived (and learned) to tell the tale!

As someone who’s spearheaded what it means to be the modern day working woman, Jaclyn knows what’s key to achieving personal, and professional, success. Which made her the most magnetic and amazing IHML Show guest!

On this week’s episode of the IHML Show, I invite Jaclyn on to share how she’s personally navigated the messy mistakes of entrepreneurship.

She’s detailing her early days in marketing, taking us behind-the-scenes of selling two successful companies, what’s key for personal success, and how to lean into your personal magnetism!

I cannot emulate to you all enough how excited I am for this magnetic, magnificent woman to share her wisdom... and talk about early 2000s blogging with me.

If you’ve been following me since the early days, you know what I’m talking about!

If there’s to take away from Jaclyn’s insightful episode, it’s to embrace your messy mistakes— and make them into something beyond your wildest dreams!

In This Episode:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:21] We warmly welcome Jaclyn onto the IHML Show/
[02:14] Jaclyn vividly details her entrepreneurial journey— and its unexpected start.
[07:32] This is how Jaclyn moved into freelancing and finding her creative space after moving to LA!
[10:51] Emily and Jaclyn bond over their early 2000s blogging days (awww).
[12:09] What was Jaclyn’s first business like, and where is it now? Jaclyn tells us!
[13:34] Jaclyn spills her secret to being a magnetic force and making things happen… like selling her business and (unintentionally) creating a new one!
[17:51] What side does Jaclyn’s loyalty lie when making decisions: the instinctive side, or the rational one? She confidently answers.
[18:41] This is what Create & Cultivate looked like in its early phases...
[23:57] Jaclyn reflects on what she would’ve done differently with C&C now having all her entrepreneurial knowledge!
[25:47] How Jaclyn attracted high-profile celebrities to be a part of her community!
[31:19] Jaclyn made the decision to sell Create & Cultivate, here’s why.
[35:40] The resilience, support, and reflection that got Jaclyn through the hardest period of her life and career.
[39:01] A behind-the-scenes look into Jaclyn’s other exciting projects!
[40:43] These are Jaclyn’s top three keys to personal success.
[42:36] If you know, you know... we asked Jaclyn for her advice on how to create a life better than your dreams!

Quotes:

“I had obviously worked in corporate the entire time; structure, steam, large companies. And so kind of going from that environment to a scrappy startup, you're doing everything from the bookkeeping to the hiring to the firing, all of the things. The new business, all of it, was a lot, but it was something that was kind of a welcome challenge at the time.” — Jaclyn Johnson

“We ended up finding this really amazing loft in downtown LA, and it was like 800 bucks a month. And there was three of us; we had another guy that joined us too that split it. And I was like, ‘I can't believe we have this space. Like, this is so crazy.’ It was nice because I was also new to the city, so I wanted to get out. So we had this creative space we created and branded the space and called it No Subject. And we all worked out of it. We hosted events during art week. It was like this really fun creative space. And then eventually I ended up starting my first business with the woman that I got the space with, which was then we called No Subject the agency. Her specialization was really like on the event side, I was the social media and marketing side. And so combined, we started to get clients together and ended up starting my first company kind of out of nowhere.” — Jaclyn Johnson (9:59- 10:51)

“Taking over the company [No Subject] by myself was super challenging when we had employees, like everyone, like lawsuits. It was intense, right? So, you make a lot of mistakes and you learn a lot about it. And I had a lot of shame around that like in the early days. Then once I started talking to people about what had happened, so many people were like, ‘oh yeah, that happened to my friend,’ or like, ‘that happened to this person,’ or like, ‘oh yep, totally.’ I was like,’ oh wait, this is like something that people go through.’ There's always these messy mistakes you're making in business.” — Jaclyn Johnson (14:31-15:00)

“By wanting to have a community of entrepreneurs and women and freelancers that were kind of going through the same thing, I started Create & Cultivate to get women together. It was never intended to be a business. It was more just like a community building thing.” — Jaclyn Johnson

“I am instinct all the way because I feel pulled in certain directions sometimes in my life where I'm like, ‘oh yeah, I gotta go do this. Like I gotta see it through and I think I can make this work’. So I think for me, I very much follow my gut and make things happen. And if they don't work out, I always am like ‘that happens for a reason’, you know?” — Jaclyn Johnson (17:51 - 18:12)

“People started to be obsessed with Create & Cultivate and wanting to be part of that. The team was like, ‘are we working for that company?’ Or this guy, like everyone was confused including me and clients, it was like this kind of hodgepodge of things. And I was sort of figuring it out until it hit a boiling point where I was like, ‘okay, I need to actually hire people for this thing.’” — Jaclyn Johnson

“We [Create & Cultivate] were really first to market in creating an event and a site for modern working women. Now there's like a thousand you can go to. We were the only one, it was Forbes or us [at the time].” — Jaclyn Johnson

“I think the authenticity behind the brand, and the fact that it didn't start with money as the motive, I think it honestly wasn't the motive for like six years. It was just about creating community and doing cool things.” — Jaclyn Johnson

“We were approaching celebrities, which at the time was very novel as entrepreneurs, not just celebrities, right? We were really approaching it as like, this is an entrepreneur conference. This is not a fan conference. These are [for] women who want advice in that way.” — Jaclyn Johnson

“For us being a self-funded business, a high growth self-funded business, the natural trajectory is either to go raise money or sell. And we were in a position where we didn't necessarily need money, but we did need a larger org to absorb us to get to that next level and provide sort of that larger framework that we would need to grow and build.” — Jaclyn Johnson

“I talk to people who sell their companies and I'm like, it's so weird to wake up one day and not do what you've done for the last 10 years.” — Jaclyn Johnson

WorkParty: How to Create & Cultivate the Career of Your Dreams

What does wealth mean to you? Is it a fridge fully stocked from Whole Foods, a lucrative savings account, and luxury getaways? Or maybe spending time with those you love? Everybody experiences wealth in various ways, but rarely do we take the time to reflect on if we actually feel wealthy at the subconscious level. Because the reality is very few of us were taught about money mindset, or how to empower ourselves with it!

I’m sure many of us grew up seldom hearing about the importance of financial literacy. Sure, you were taught about checkbooks and savings and even spending habits. But were you ever instilled with tools to bridge the gap between your behaviors and desires? Chances are, you weren’t. But that doesn’t mean you're destined to live the rest of your life stuck in your old ways— or a shallow spending budget.

Like you, Walli Miller grew up believing she was adequate at money management. But after receiving an income report in her mid-twenties, she realized she had nothing to show for all her hard work. And more importantly, realized how little she was really taught about money. After a slew of ‘aha’ moments and losing love for her corporate job, she finally decided it was time to create wealth according to her standards. Not only did she utilize mindset work and self-reflection to redefine what wealth meant to her, but discovered how she can show up everyday honoring her values. How? By building her relationship with money as a tool, and not just a currency.

Walli’s wealth of knowledge is here to teach us there’s ‘no one size fits all’ when it comes to money mindset and wealth. Which is what makes her a truly unique and inspiring coach… and this week’s IHML Show guest! In this episode, Walli and I harp on the hard conversations about money, being intentional with our spending habits, how to define wealth in our own way, and tips to align our money with our values!

This IHML Show episode is worth a fortune with how much information and insight Walli has to offer. As someone who’s been working on her own money mindset, I truly believe Walli is going to completely change the way you think about wealth. Because no matter what you were told to believe, the luxuries of life that light you up are truly priceless— no matter the cost!

In This Episode:

[0:27] This is how Walli’s financial journey all transpired…
[2:55] Wall walks us through her adult relationship with money that inspired her work!
[8:45] These are the first steps Walli took in light of her major money ‘aha’ moment.
[11:19] Walli shares her (unexpected) philosophies and desires as a financial coach.
[14:55] How to get clear on your vision and stay aligned with it— according to Walli!
[17:32] Want to create a ‘work optional’ experience, or build generational wealth? Give some of Walli’s tips a much needed try!
[23:41] These are the overlooked avenues and mistakes Walli sees in entrepreneurs and her own clients.
[27:16] Walli happily shares her wisdom for how to create a life better than your dreams, from a wealth standpoint!

Quotes:

“What we don't realize is that so much of our money relationship, our money mindset is really formed and shaped when we're really young, when we're about between the ages of seven and 10. So when we think about what type of environment and what type of examples did our parents have for us, when it came to money and what type of conversations did they have with us surrounding money. And then to think that as we get older and start working and get those jobs and begin making an income, that a lot of the things that we learned may not be the best in having the healthiest relationship with money.” — Walli Miller

“And I remember getting an income report of the last 10 years of my wages and I calculated how much money I had made in my lifetime and realized that I had nothing to show for it.” — Walli Miller

“I had to really understand what my spending triggers were. And sometimes those spending triggers could be associated with negative feelings, right?” — Walli Miller

“If we feel anxious, upset, depressed, sad, angry, frustrated, we might want to make ourselves feel better by using something like shopping. But sometimes it's also a positive thing that we do, right? If we get a promotion at work, or we finally completed a big project. Now, all of a sudden we are shopping as a form of reward. And neither one of those things are bad. But if you are doing these things sort of unintentionally, if you're doing these things sort of unconsciously, that's where that becomes an issue.“ — Walli Miller

“When we talk about money mindset, it's simply your relationship with money. Your habits, your behaviors, your thoughts around money. And when we understand what that is and what are some of the behaviors that you would like to replace, or some of the habits that you would like to remove, then we can sort of figure out what you want to do with your money.” — Walli Miller

“One of the things that I tell my clients is that as a financial coach, this might sound a little weird but, I do not care how you spend your money. What I do care about is that I wanna hear what it is that you want your life to look like. Let's design the life that you want. Let's design the experiences that you want.” — Walli Miller

“So if we can really tie in the things that are [a part of] the life that you want to have, the experiences you want to experience, then we can tie that into how we can use money as a tool to help you get there. “ — Walli Miller

“Once I really understood where my money was going and I realized that it wasn't aligned, where I was spending my money wasn't aligned with what I valued most. That was something that helped me make that shift.” — Walli Miller

“I like to use this acronym for cutting the F.A.T.T. and F.A.T.T. stands for food, accommodation, transportation, and taxes. If you can cut the F.A.T.T. down in your budget, that is where the bulk of your success is going to be.” — Walli Miller

“If we had to create a list of the top five things that you valued most, where does being financially independent or building generational wealth fall in line with your shopping trips to whole foods or your luxury vehicle. And only you can decide that.” — Walli Miller

“When you can define what wealth means to you and what a rich life means to you, then you can begin dreaming.” — Walli Miller

If the sky was the limit, what’s the highest achievement possible for you? A six-figure salary, a growing family, juicy benefits, the “perfect” body? And before you really think about your answer, let me ask you something: is this the language in which your heart and soul authentically speak to you? Chances are, probably not!

So here’s the thing: we've been conditioned by the phenomenon of ‘milestones’, and as a result, relying on the final outcome for happiness. But these accomplishments are only a fraction of the greater formula for our dream life. Our dream life is really a blend of powerful questioning, redefining success (to our standards), and redirecting our instincts in times of complete disruption. The outcome is never absolute, so why force ourselves to live according to that false truth?

That’s exactly what Tiffany Paul started to ask herself years into living her ‘dream life’. Although her life on paper was seemingly picture-perfect, Tiffany started to feel the inkling that there was more for her life than a big city and a bigger paycheck. Once she started to really question what was gonna bring her happiness and success, Tiffany soon realized she wasn’t living on her own terms. So she went on to launch her own business in the hopes of reclaiming her freedom. Plot twist: nothing went according to plan. But an even bigger plot twist is this: she found the bright side and it was more than she could ever imagine!

If you happen to be caught between living and dreaming (and craving both) I think I have everything you need… inside this amazing IHML Show episode! This week I had fellow podcast host and total spitfire Tiffany Paul on to discuss what it really means to live your dream life. Tiffany will also be detailing her own pivots towards self-development and entrepreneurship, what keeps us present, and how to navigate unexpected circumstances.

I’m so excited to have this exuberant, wise, and radiant human on to talk about similarities (and differences) in our philosophies. Truth be told, there’s no singular definition behind living your dream life. And you know what? That’s what growth is all about. So don’t prolong your transformation any longer. Start changing your life now… by redefining the terms you live by!

In This Episode:

[0:42] Tiffany jumps into the wild ride she’s taken in life (and business) that introduced her to the bright side of personal development.
[3:48] Just some of the major pivots that brought Tiffany to launch her podcast, Break the Matrix (plus her multiple businesses)!
[7:00] Listen to Tiffany break down the six-figure milestone phenomena and what gave her the clarity to gravitate down a different path.
[10:22] This is what Tiffany learned about the “logic” behind our dreams.
[11:39] If you have an inkling there’s something more out there… Tiffany has some first steps for you to try!
[13:40] Here’s the BTS look behind Tiffany’s five years of building her business.
[17:04] What to do when things fall apart— in the wise words of Tiffany!
[19:58] So… what else has Tiffany done to create her dream life? She spills.
[23:32] Tiffany gets real with Emily about the outgrown definition of “living”...
[26:49] This is why Tiffany believes the ‘why’ holds us back from enjoying our journey (and the other half of the life equation).
[32:12] Yes, Tiffany has even more advice on how to create a life that’s better than your dreams!

Quotes:

“I started looking at my life and kind of feeling guilty [because] on paper I have everything that society tells me should make me happy.” — Tiffany Paul

“What does living the dream look like and going beyond just achievement, success and money and titles and businesses: what is it really about?” — Tiffany Paul

“As any business owner knows, it takes time to create money and a financially successful business. There's a lot of investment in foundational structures that may be put into place. And so at that moment where I was like, ‘I'm kind of starting all over again. This doesn't feel fun.’ It was exciting to launch a business, but I needed something to fuel my soul to feel like I was doing something that I just loved each and every day.” — Tiffany Paul

“If we're really talking about living the dream, to me that looks like living life on my own terms. And living life on my own terms means doing more of what I love. ” — Tiffany Paul

“So the hardest part about it is that logically, it actually didn't make any sense why I would want something more. Generally, I liked my job. I was good at it. I had a lot of flexibility. I worked from home. I had great benefits, like all the things. And that’s why it took me so long to come to terms with the fact that your dreams aren't always logical, your dreams come from the heart, from the soul. It speaks in feelings, not language. So it was just simply a feeling that I could not get rid of. I think that there's something that keeps coming up for you, a vision and idea, a dream, that's your soul, that's your heart. And it often doesn't make the most logical sense, especially because we do live in a world that tells us living the dream looks like X, Y, Z.” — Tiffany Paul

“Sometimes it's just as simple as ‘do you wanna do this or do you not?’ And sometimes we outgrow our dreams. Sometimes we evolve into different versions of ourselves and that's normal, right? Everything in nature evolves.” — Tiffany Paul

“We [humans] love comfort and safety and that's where we operate from, even subconsciously. So if my dreams are making too much sense, I always like to check in and say, ‘is there a voice that I'm kind of squashing down in the background?’” — Tiffany Paul

“We so easily discount the smallness of the steps. And it doesn't take anything more than that to put you on a completely different timeline, to introduce you to somebody who's gonna change your life, to have an opportunity pop up that's going to really propel you forward. It just takes time, patience and small steps.” — Tiffany Paul

“We can make all the plans we want and be logical and do the things, and it's just not a guarantee for success. And the reason I'm trying to emphasize that point is that I've done so much of what another business coach says I should do, or a book says I should do, or my entrepreneur friend says I should do. And sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't, business is not linear. If it was so easy, everyone would do it. If it was just ‘here's the how-to guide to build a business’, we would all do it. And so we can learn and be inspired from little bits and pieces of everybody's journey, but from that, we're gonna be creating our own unique journey, build with things that made logical sense, and things that came intuitively from ourselves. From test and learn, from trial and error, from luck. And it's just not as logical and linear as I think so many of us want, because we want to know the outcome. We wanna know we're gonna be okay. We want success and we wanna create our dream life.” — Tiffany Paul

“So there is no failure— just a direction, a redirection, or a lesson.” — Tiffany Paul

“I was no longer willing to sacrifice my life and the here and now in exchange for a final outcome.” — Tiffany Paul

“I thought slowing down so that I can enjoy my life was essential for me in creating a life that I love living.” — Tiffany Paul

“It's oftentimes a singular definition of what it means to live the dream. And it's often these external factors of success, a job, money, a house, a certain family, a certain body, and it's all external. So not only is it based on final outcomes, as we discuss which are not guaranteed, it takes you outta the present moment. I also think it's just this superficial way to live our lives.”— Tiffany Paul

“So we spend our lives exhausted and berating ourselves about how we're not doing enough or we're not giving ourselves credit for all that we have done. I think that it's just this attachment to the final outcome.” — Tiffany Paul

“If you are really looking to live life on your own terms, which I think so many of us are, we need to ask ourselves, what are those terms? And what does, if, if the sky was the limit and anything was possible, what would I wanna do?” — Tiffany Paul

Entertain this wild idea for a moment: your life is as good (if not, better) as you dream it to be. There’s no fear or confusion surrounding your success because you already have it as you imagine— maybe even beyond. Just imagine how much your life would change if you permitted yourself to let that vision become a real possibility… because guess what? It’s possible. And I know that to be fact because I myself experienced it.

Back when I was in the throes of my quarter-life crisis, I was searching for something bigger. I craved community, compassion, and clarity surrounding my desires. And like all of you, I wasn’t provided with the proper tools and resources to make those goals attainable. I thought I had to burn myself to the brim in order to experience that pinnacle of success. Truth be told, that backfired. But instead, I found a new flame of inspiration that’s changed the way I ran my life— and business!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’ve launched many memberships. My most recent one ceased to come into fruition. Cue: my New Year's wake-up call. That breathless feeling in my chest was the sign I needed to redirect I Heart My Life and the unexpected direction it took. Even though I’m so grateful for the growth and transformation this community has gifted thousands, if not millions, of women with… I know there was more for I Heart My Life than serving the coaching & entrepreneurial space.

Re-committing to alignment with the I Heart My Life mission has inspired me like never before, which brings us to my most exciting project yet: the I Heart My Life Membership! This vortex of feminine power, creativity, and personal development is the key to elevating your life in every way imaginable. Which is why I’m super ecstatic to be taking this week’s IHML Show episode to go behind the scenes of the new I Heart My Life Membership. I’m going to be detailing the setbacks and shifts that inspired this program, what it includes if it’s right for you, and how you can sign up!

This was what twenty-five-year-old-me needed all those years ago, which makes this full-circle moment all that more impactful. If you have that inkling that you’re destined for more, but unsure of how to uncover what’s really in store for you (much like I did), stick around for this one. You might just be surprised at what will come up for you!

In This Episode:

[0:32] Emily dives right into the backstory (and multiple memberships) that led to her newest and boldest creation for the I Heart My Life community.
[3:44] Ask yourself these crucial Q’s before you decide if this experience is for you…
[8:27] These are the reminders and resources Emily knew she needed on her own journey— and wants to give you with this membership!
[12:42] Emily is calling us all out on the subconscious fear brewing behind our biggest blocks… and how the IHML membership’s framework will help you overcome it.
[19:47] Here’s the breakdown for the IHML membership, on a monthly basis!
[24:46] This is what’s in store for 2023 and the higher levels of the IHML membership.
[27:47] Disclaimer: we don’t want you to believe this is what you have to do to be successful…
[29:26] Here’s how Emily and the IHML membership are going to support you, and how you can join this amazing experience.
[31:35] Emily shares some outstanding testimonials of IHML clients!

Quotes:

“I Heart My Life was actually designed to be for all women. Women who are ambitious, women who wanna go to the next level in some area of their life, whether that is business or career or relationships or health and wellness or mindset or finances. And I felt like I was selling the brand short by just working with such a small group of people.” — Emily Williams

“Sometimes you get to the point where you'd rather something crumble than move forward with something that's not in alignment, or you'd rather turn something off or take a pause. And that's how I operate.” — Emily Williams

“We've been really thinking about what an ideal membership would look like for this brand. Especially where it is now, where we're kind of coming full circle and getting back to the initial iteration and vision that I had for the company.” — Emily Williams

“Maybe some of you even listening are thinking, ‘you know what? I don't actually wanna change,’ or, ‘you know what? I'm too busy right now. I don't have the time to devote to my personal and professional development.’ That's totally okay. I'd rather you wait until you feel aligned or wait until you get that inkling that this is the right next step for you than jump in and not actually be ready.” — Emily Williams

“One of the key sort of indicators of my level of success over the last few years is [asking]: ‘how happy am I? How joyful am I? How much fun am I actually having?’” — Emily Williams

“Regardless if you have millions in your bank account and the most amazing marriage and thriving business, and regardless if you're that person or you're someone who's brand new in business or somebody who wants to join this program because you wanna call in your soulmate relationship, everyone is perfect as they're coming in. And we always all have something to work on.” — Emily Williams

“I also know that oftentimes we get so blindsided and we get to the point where we're so focused on one thing, whether it's business or money or career, and we forget about the other key pillars. So it's really important in my opinion to experience holistic success. Because if one part of your life is off, you're not gonna experience the full joy.” — Emily Williams

“It's not necessarily in our current awareness to know that we have an issue or a fear of success. But really ask yourself: what if every single area of your life was taken care of and thriving, how would that feel? Most people can't even imagine how that would be.” — Emily Williams

“We are taught to work hard and push and achieve. And all of that is so well and good. [But] are we taught to tune in, are we taught about the feminine way of doing things, of doing business, of career, of running our lives? Are we taught to slow down? Are we taught to trust that everything is happening for us and not to us most of the time? No.” — Emily Williams

“We're gonna help you get clear on your goals and figure out the fastest path to actually meeting them, okay? Most people weren't actually taught how to goal set.” — Emily Williams

“There's so much power in vulnerability. That's how we actually create more connections with others.” — Emily Williams

Are you someone who’s envisioned their big picture goal as living in alignment? And if you haven’t found your life’s passion or purpose yet, does it feel like you’re resorting to your career as a validation crutch? You pick job after job out of an imaginary hat, wishing that whatever opportunity came your way would be the answer to your desires. If any of this resonates, you know deep down there’s more for you than a checklist of successes.

When we dream of who we want to be and how we want to live, we’re subconsciously channeling our inner power for inspiration. But when we’re faced with a real challenge or discomfort that asks us to step into our next level self, we shy back into our fear. It’s because alignment requires the energetic work many of us don’t believe we can accomplish… which makes it all that more crucial to your total transformation.

Kelly Marcyniuk was one of the determined ones, even when doubt and scarcity stood in her way. She had enough dabbling of jobs and hoped to discover the passion she craved in a career. So when she miraculously found network marketing, she thought the job bouncing was over! But even after a few years, she still wasn’t living unapologetically according to her desires. So in search of something bigger (and better), Kelly found her calling where she least expected: a Facebook group.

After unknowingly booking a discovery call with a coach, Kelly finally found the opportunities that piqued her wants. She turned her love of freedom into a business & lifestyle coaching business in just one year— and has learned so much along the way! Even after five years of being her own boss, Kelly has grown to understand energy work is the key to living in alignment, and more importantly something everyone should experience!

The OG Freedom Babe, Kelly Marcyniuk, is this week’s IHML Show guest! In this episode, Kelly vividly takes us through her success story, explains how energy work molds her coaching practices, and thinking outside the entrepreneurial box. She is also going to break down the challenges that kept her from embodying alignment— and what we can do to make sure that doesn’t happen to us.

Kelly’s graceful bubbliness is truly contagious, it’s no wonder her coaching has changed the lives of many! Her desire to show other women how to design their life and create true freedom never fails to inspire me. Let Kelly be the affirmation you need that you need to pursue your vision and bring it to life, even when others don’t see its potential to thrive.

In This Episode:

[0:24] Kelly warmly starts this IHML Show with her success story!
[3:48] A deep dive into the energy work Kelly implements with herself and her clients.
[8:01] This shift made all the difference in Kelly’s business alongside other transformations that worked in her favor!
[10:39] Kelly shares why it’s important to think outside the box of action to achieve true alignment in business.
[11:56] These are the biggest things Kelly moved through this year that evoked discomfort and felt challenging— and our host Emily shares as well!
[14:36] Kelly divulges what she wished she knew at the start of her business that she knows now…
[16:55] How do you discover self-love and validation without tying it to business? Kelly shares her daily practices for doing so!
[18:30] Kelly breaks down her 2022 goals.
[19:45] With the creation of her podcast, Kelly readdresses some of her recurring fears and doubts.
[22:01] Kelly provides her unique experience and advice on how you can create a life beyond your wildest dreams!

Quotes:

“I always felt like I was trying to choose my career from a hat. And there was nothing I really wanted to do. It was more of a life that I saw myself living and no job aligned with that vision.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“Once I started that [coaching] business, I felt at home almost, I felt so much more aligned with my purpose and with the big vision I had. And I also just saw it as a huge opportunity to help other people who were seeing or who were stuck in that same holding pattern of knowing they were meant for big things, but feeling like no job or no network marketing business would get them there. So now that's what I help my clients with, whether they're starting from scratch or building their business to the point that can give them that freedom that they've always wanted.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“And I was like, ‘I feel like I can't do anymore'. Like, this is as much work that I can do, but I also felt guilty if I was taking a break or if I was gonna close my laptop for the night. And there was a little voice in my head that said, ‘what would you do if the money and the clients were already here?’ And that's when I was like, ‘well, I would go have fun for a couple of days’. I would go see my friends, would go just live my life. So that's what I did. I actually went away for like a night or two and when I got back, there were two clients that signed and paid in full that week. It was like all my miracles happened, all of my desires and needs were met. And from that moment forward, I really do that more and more, and that's what I teach my clients as well. Obviously, you have to do the work.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“Obviously you have to show up, obviously you have to take action. And there's such an energetic piece of it too, of being that version of you who already has what she wants. If you already had the clients, if you already had the money, you wouldn't be worrying and freaking out and wondering where it is and checking your inbox and hitting refresh, or refreshing your DMS every couple of minutes. You would also be living your life and not making your business absolutely everything and not validating yourself just from your business too. So there's a big embodiment piece of that. I just help my clients really get clear on what that vision is, who the version of them is that's already there. And then we work on them matching that energy internally and then also taking actions as that version of themselves. And that honestly, when things just flow in ways that you could never predict and also with so much ease as well. There's no force with that.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“And when I can go and look back on some of my best years or my best months or whatever, I'm letting that desire lead me. And a part of that is embracing the discomfort that comes with that.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“The more you can get used to embracing that discomfort that comes with those [desires] and not letting it define your reality or your future, and knowing that that discomfort is actually a good sign because when you embrace that, you're becoming that version of you who's at that next level, right?” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“If you are always sitting back and waiting and hoping and not doing the things that really scare you, not following your desire and letting yourself be held back by lack. There's no energy. And if we want to manifest and attract the success we desire in our business, we have to be putting that energy forward.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“I had to stop validating myself based on my business results. Because as you could imagine, when you're stuck in fear, my business hasn't grown to the extent it has in a lot of the previous years this year and that felt embarrassing to me. And that made me feel like I wasn't good enough. Then I also realized, ‘okay, well now I'm only validating myself and who I am as a person based on what's happening in my business’.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“Don’t validate yourself based on your results or the months you're having or the years you're having or whatever. Because there's gonna be ups and downs, always!” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“I recreated the more long term vision and that's actually brought me a lot more inspiration and motivation. It's created a lot more momentum and it makes me feel excited and purposeful again in my business and with what I'm doing.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“My business isn't the only thing or the main thing that is important to me.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“If you're sharing your message, if you're putting yourself out there and it feels like no one cares or no one's listening, people do care and people do listen. They just don’t always tell you that.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

“If you have this vision, if you have this crazy idea that no one understands, go for it anyway because you're the only person that's gonna get in the way of that.” — Kelly Marcyniuk

When you paint your big picture for life, what do you envision? Is your dream both balanced and abundant, exciting but stable? You desire the freedom to experience next-level opportunities while creating an impactful (and sustainable) legacy— the ideal work/life balance! And yes, it’s true… both of these possibilities can exist simultaneously! But it requires stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing your own ideas, and getting ahead of the corporate game.

I’m sure many of you daydream at your work desk, thinking about what could be if you were given the space and time to explore other avenues of profit. Chances are the idea of a side hustle has intrigued those thoughts at one point! With remote work and passive income opportunities sweeping the entrepreneurial space, pretty much anyone with drive and creativity can manifest major money (and other luxuries).

Although side hustles empower you to unlock your multi-passionate self, there’s some growth to be had mentally and spiritually. Women like Julie Berninger always knew she was meant for more, even in her profitable corporate tech job. But once the pandemic warped her world, Julie took it upon herself to fully embrace her true potential through the magic of side hustles. And in turn, learned how to be her best (and only) boss!

I’m delighted to have smart and savvy Julie Berninger on the IHML Show to share the secret behind successful side hustles! Together we talk about the booming opportunity printables and Etsy shops have to offer, her personal journey with entrepreneurship, even the integral mindset and money shifts in store.

If you’ve been itching at the idea of starting a side hustle, let this episode be the gentle encouragement to lean into that desire. And lucky for you, Julie shares her business resources to start a side hustle with clarity and confidence! A podcast episode and a freebie that could potentially change your life… is this a dream? Start creating your next-level life by working smarter, not harder!

In This Episode:

[1:47] Julie begins the episode by sharing the story behind her entrepreneurial success and launching her business, Gold City Ventures!
[4:43] We’re bringing you behind the scenes of what running a printable business is like, as described by Julie (and how you can do it too).
[6:19] This is the advice Julie has for those just starting to dabble in graphic design— and some game-changing tools she used in her own business.
[8:56] Julie shares the timeline of her business and how it became financially sustainable.
[11:10] Listen to Julie break down her fears and doubts surrounding entrepreneurship and money that almost cost her her independence.
[14:28] When things didn’t pan out as planned, this is how Julie navigated them.
[15:29] Julie vividly draws up her big picture goal for us!
[16:48] This is the ebook Julie’s audience raves to get their hands on…
[18:15] And of course, Julie divulges one way you can create a life better than your dreams!

Quotes:

“I had been in the entrepreneurship world for a very long time. I was working in tech, but I always felt like corporate life wasn't for me. I was doing fine in it. I had been getting my first promotion to manager and I was kind of progressively moving up the ladder, but I just felt like there was something more out there and just sitting in my cubicle, looking out the window. Even though I was in the middle of a city and I was kind of loving it, it just felt like I wasn't fulfilled.” — Julie Berninger

“So I started off with the printables business and then I got really savvy with keyword research tools. I know a lot of us who are in this kind of blogging space and even those who are coaches, you might look up what's trending on Google using trends.google.com, or you might look up something using a fancy keyword tool. AHF is one that I use or suggest as a free alternative, but I use tools like that so that I could get a sense of what people were looking for. And that was the biggest game changer in my business because a lot of people will spend hours and hours creating something that not many people are looking for. So even if you hit it out of the park, if there's just not enough people, you're not gonna make the amount of money that you wanna make. But if you see, oh, this is trending right now, a bunch of people are looking for this. Then the ROI on your time is just gonna make a lot more sense. And that’s kind of the approach I took with creating this printable business.” — Julie Berninger

“I was working in my corporate job and then doing all these side hustles beyond just the fact that I knew there was more for me. I also wanted to reach a level of financial security so that I had this freedom to do whatever I wanted with my life, essentially in my thirties.” — Julie Berninger

“So that was the first time that I really realized, okay, I need to make a business that can sustain my life. It can still help me reach financial independence. It can give generational wealth to my daughter. And essentially I could have my time back because I was totally stretched in at the beginning in the pandemic. So that's where I started gold city ventures. And it was something that I knew would be desirable because I've had a lot of success selling printables on Etsy. But I actually launched a little mastermind with my podcast listeners and I ran it a couple times in a row and it's sold out. So I knew like, oh, other people think this side hustle is cool too. If I can find a way to share what I know in an online course, then I can scale. Scale my time and scale this knowledge out further.” — Julie Berninger

“If I can find a way to share what I know in an online course, then I can scale. Scale my time and scale this knowledge out further.” — Julie Berninger

“I think just as a female and [I was] working in tech, I was always waiting for that promotion or the next thing. And it can be hard for women in the workplace.” — Julie Berninger

“Being an entrepreneur is the biggest form of protest. I don't have to wait on anyone's approval to launch an idea. I don't have to convince my boss it's a good idea. I don't have to get someone's blessing to make more money. It's all on me. There are some bad things with that, but man, it feels really freeing. And when I see the money coming in and realize like, oh, my ideas were good. Now not all of them are good, there are some that maybe I shouldn't have done. But being the person that's responsible and not having to get anyone else’s approval to get ahead in life, that’s what’s so empowering about being an entrepreneur.” — Julie Berninger

“I think a lot of entrepreneurs get a scarcity mindset about their product, but your competitors are your best friends. And in fact they have the target audience that would like your course too. So if you can find a way to fit in, maybe you can create an adjacent offer that would be perfect for them. That's something that would be a win-win for all of you.” — Julie Berninger

We’ve all grown comfortable working in our loungewear and favorite Lululemons since COVID completely changed work culture. But does that mean you should bid a forever goodbye to the luxury of dressing up and experimenting with your look? Not at all! In fact… it’s time you reintroduce the fun of fashion into your everyday life! And this isn’t just for vanity-sake…

There’s an inherent, powerful connection between how you look and how you feel. On days you don’t want to leave your (adorable) pajama set, Netflix and chill is the only thing on your agenda. But when you’re meeting friends for a lively dinner or hitting a new vacation spot, you want to pull out all your show stopping wardrobe features! So what’s to say you can’t find a happy medium (and achieve success along the way)?

Playing with style was always in the cards for Katie Allen. Fashion was her calling but chose to check other boxes with a traditional marketing career. So when COVID hit and she was without a job, Katie was left with the time and space to wonder: who am I? And more importantly, how can I deeper connect to that woman I’ve always known myself to be?

One fateful encounter spent spewing style advice from her bathtub granted Katie the clarity she was looking for. (All the while launching her very own podcast and participating in a business mastermind, by the way!) Katie leant into her truest desire and launched her business designed to empower women by creating their own unstoppable style. And now she’s showing everyone how to put on their power with confidence and clarity!

I’m so ecstatic to welcome the fabulous Katie Allen onto this week’s IHML Show! Not only is Katie sharing her success story, but she educates us on the interconnectedness of our wardrobe with core values. She even shares the connection fashion has to our menstrual cycle. Together we’re discussing the importance of styling for success and why it’s crucial we experiment with our day-to-day look.

If there’s anything trendsetting Katie has learned, it’s that you deserve to feel like your best self no matter the occasion. So open up that closet and start sifting through the clothes that haven’t seen the light of day… because you (and your next-level self) know you’ve outgrown them and deserve a fresh hot look!

In This Episode:

[0:51] Katie welcomes us into her stylish world and starts us off with her story!
[4:11] The early thoughts and inspiration behind Katie’s podcast (before she rediscovered her stylistic calling).
[6:53] Katie divulges her true intentions for joining a business mastermind in early 2020— without a business!
[9:53] These are some of the shifts Katie underwent under the guidance of her coaches to help her move through her dark times.
[13:41] How mind mapping empowered Katie to achieve ultimate clarity surrounding her work with styling!
[16:23] Did you know you can manifest your desires with your clothes? Katie explains the deeper connection between them!
[20:12] Katie breaks down how to figure out what to wear based upon your instinctual feelings.
[22:04] FYI, you CAN dress according to your menstrual cycle according to Katie’s expertise!
[25:11] If you’re stuck in your Lululemon and sweatpants phase, this is the advice Katie has for you to start experimenting more…
[31:00] This is Katie’s wisdom and guidance on how to create a life better than your dreams

Quotes:

“Everyone would always ask me ‘what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do with that degree? Are you gonna move to New York? What are you gonna do?’ And I was like, I don't know. I'm just trusting that it’s gonna figure itself out.” — Katie Allen

“At the time I was a breadwinner and I really identified with that as a powerful woman.” — Katie Allen

“To make a really long story short, a friend of mine was like ‘Hey, I have a client she's on a photoshoot with to help her pick out what to wear’. And I just was like sending her ideas and helping her strap from my bathtub. And my friend was like, how much do I owe you? And I was like, nothing. I'd do it for free cuz I was in the bathtub and it was fun. And she said, no, Katie people get paid to do this. And it was like the heavens parted. And I was like, oh my God, this is what I was always supposed to be doing. Um, and that is like long story short on how I came back to styling and really have just like immersed myself into using it as a tool to help women just like feel amazing and you know, go after their dreams” — Katie Allen

“Podcasting was a portal for me into really finding myself. And when I started listening, I was just listening to women talk in a way I've never heard like strong women talk. And I was like, ‘oh my God, this is amazing. I think I'm supposed to be doing this too!’ I love to be really vulnerable. I have always been an oversharer, and for a long time I felt shame. And in the professional corporate world, people are like, ‘you can't talk like that and you can't say this and you can't say that, it's not professional’. So it became like this outlet for me to just talk about the journey. And quite frankly, I just felt dead inside and I was like, there's gotta be other women who have chased that dream of checking the box and still feel like something's missing.” — Katie Allen

“I never identified with an entrepreneur because I didn't identify with taking risks. I felt really, really safe, just checking those boxes. And I don't know at what point in my life I just started to shove down those desires.” — Katie Allen

“I think that part of the journey was that I had to go through and go back to the corporate job. I had to negotiate for the money. I had to try to start a business with someone else because I didn't trust that I could run a business by myself.” — Katie Allen

“When I was mind mapping, I was really back to that [important question], ‘what are my real values?’ Because I had been in this business mastermind I did feel like I knew what my values were, I knew what I wanted. So [I asked myself] what could I do every day to get back to that?.” — Katie Allen

“I tell my clients all the time: getting dressed for yourself is so much more powerful than getting dressed for other people.” — Katie Allen

“[That mind mapping is when] I had gotten that aha moment of, oh my God, style is so much more than just helping people pick out clothes. It's how we feel in our bodies. We can literally transform our moods and our energy from moment to moment with the colors that we wear, the fabrics that we wear, the clothes that we wear, the sounds that our jewelry makes and all of those things coming together. At that moment it kind of just clicked. And then I realized that style coaching was a whole association. There are people that do this for a living. And I was like, oh my God, where have I been my whole life?” — Katie Allen

“So when I start working with people, I always go back to [this idea that] we have our core values as people that probably stick with us most of our time but then on a day to day basis and what's going on in our lives. I always try to honor the fact that we're multifaceted and we wear different hats, we're doing different things. And I always bring it back to ‘how do you want to feel today?’ So one of my clients referred to this as like people have their core desired feelings, she was like, ‘oh, these are like my core style feelings.’ So it's this idea of like, how do you wanna feel today? And then what makes you feel that way physically like your clothes, something that you can adorn your body with. And then it's the physical reminder as you move through the day.” — Katie Allen

“There's nothing wrong with wearing sweatpants or leggings, but I think that you probably know naturally when you have those clothes on, you’re like ‘I'm relaxing, this isn't really my creative energy’ vibe and that's fine. That's more of just like a relaxing and receiving mode, but sometimes we have to be in creating mode too.” — Katie Allen

The women in our community crave a life encompassing everything that lights us up, ranging from our career to travel to creativity. And I’ve seen firsthand many women change their life course by following through with their ideas and desires. Over the years, I’ve (Emily) had to undergo some serious ups and downs to discover what alignment looks like to me— and how I want to inspire that in others.

When I launched I Heart My Life in 2014, I was operating from a heart-centered space of desire. I was barely making $25K as a matchmaker in London and knew there was more destined for myself, soon learning that I wasn’t alone. I created the IHML community because it was the space I needed to follow my dreams, and desired to include the many other heart-centered women looking for the same thing. Now I Heart My Life has morphed into something beyond my wildest imagination!

Recently, I had a blast sharing my story on another podcast hosted by one of our clients and friends Victoria Fenton. I wanted to share this interview with you on the IHML Show to give you insight into some of the BTS that has been going on with me as well as our company. Some of my big aha’s as well as learnings over the last few months.

I’m utterly ecstatic for this week’s very personal IHML Show episode! I talk about how (and why) I Heart My Life by detailing everything from my business to my personal transformations. I share my inspiration for the company, some of my best (and worst) entrepreneurial moments, and the importance of living with heart. We also share a great perspective on building a business, including the necessary money and mindset shifts!

If you’ve been eyeing your vision board a little longer than usual, itching to pull it right from the screen (or wall) and into reality… this is totally your episode! It’s candid, concise, and complete with our personal advice on how to start heart-ing your life like never before.

In This Episode:

[2:34] Emily dives into where her passion lies for creating a heart-centered lifestyle and how that serves as inspiration for her Luxe Mastermind!
[5:55] Listen to Emily detail the most recent IHML Experience she hosted that transcended every other retreat.
[8:32] The evolutionary changes Emily and her companies have taken on!
[12:04] Emily shares her tips for recognizing the tell-tale signs of heading towards rock bottom.
[14:04] Here’s how to nail down what you truly desire… and make it happen!
[18:39] Emily details how she tunes into the energy of her life.
[21:39] This is the direction I Heart My Life and Emily are taking as they move forward!
[25:06] Here’s how to move through your own limiting beliefs thanks to Emily’s wisdom.
[28:36] Emily shares the deets on her professional and personal dynamics with her husband James!
[32:10] Why it’s an investment to surround yourself with exceptional people, according to Emily.
[36:53] These are the exciting things coming up for I Heart My Life!

Quotes:

“Because I think when you start a business and you work with clients, you don't anticipate all the shifts or the results that they're going to have. And so I just wanna put that out there because I feel like we can impact people in a greater way than we ever expect.” — Emily Williams

“We really wanted to create something that was intimate and high level, that included group as well as one-to-one support, because what we found is that even if people had a group program, ultimately they'd want more support, especially at your level and the level of your colleagues.” — Emily Williams

“From the get go in my business, I've hosted events at five-star locations. And even from the very beginning with new coaches or new entrepreneurs who I was working with, they would purchase tickets to a location they've never experienced. And they would get in the room and be like, ‘Oh my gosh, like my life has literally changed just by being here’. Because they didn't have a passport before that they had never been in a five-star location. They'd never been around high level women. And so just seeing half of the transformations happen just by putting yourself in a new environment. We knew because of that, we wanted to take all of our incredible clients to just life-changing places.” — Emily Williams

“I just knew that the transformation required more than just sitting behind a computer.” — Emily Williams

“I'm really passionate about compressing your timeline and recognizing you don't have to wait until you retire, or that thing on your vision board doesn't have to stay up there for decades. You can literally bring it into the present moment. And when you do everything starts to shift.” — Emily Williams

“It's [my mission] been very clear since the beginning, but I always thought, ‘okay this will naturally happen. It'll naturally start to morph into what I wanted to really be'. But I realized at that moment in January 2020, that I actually needed to send it in the direction it was meant to go.” — Emily Williams

“And so it was just to the point where the desire for change and for this to be what I always envisioned it to be became greater than the fear. And I think that's when real transformation happens: you tune into what it is you really want and that becomes way more important than the fear holding you back.” — Emily Williams

“But for me, I couldn't see the purpose in what I was doing because I knew it wasn't in alignment with the overall vision of I Heart My Life. Yes, it was a stepping stone, but it wasn't like I had just launched a brand new membership that was completely in alignment and I needed to give it time to take off. I was doing things that I didn't wanna offer long-term. And again, sometimes those are stepping stones, but for me, I started to realize that wasn't the case. So I think you need to look at what you're doing and ask yourself, ‘is it purposeful right now?’ Even if it's not feeling pleasurable, is it leading to the next thing, and is it contributing to the big picture vision?” — Emily Williams

“Your body and your emotions are giving clues all the time and it might not be immediate. But every single day, you'll start to see certain indicators of what it is that you are craving. And so I would recommend writing those down or writing, you know, typing it on your phone and the notes app, or just having a record of it. And then you can start to categorize certain things. So maybe it's a big picture desire. Maybe it's a desire for the next five years, maybe the next year, maybe the next 90 days. And you'll start to get clearer around what it is that you are aiming for.” — Emily Williams

“You just have to pay attention to all the ways that you're expanding and saturate your mind with reminders of what other people are capable of. And again, instill that belief in yourself and know that if other people are doing it, you can do it too.” — Emily Williams

“Regardless of whether it's a friend or a partner or whoever's on your team, just recognizing ‘what are people's zones of genius? How are they meant to work? What is their natural flow?’ And not trying to force that square peg into the round hole, just because it would be convenient or whatever. And just accepting people for their goals and just their design.” — Emily Williams

“When you're around people who are inspiring you, cheering you on, it really is a game changer.” — Emily Williams

When the seas are choppy and the storm brews around you, how do you best navigate to safety? Do you follow a beacon of hope or find that guiding light within? Truthfully, we all have the ability to be that bright beam of relief in times of chaos— for ourselves and others. But that means channeling all our resources, wisdom, and bravery to take the adventure head-on. Which is why it’s absolutely important to learn how to navigate disruption in life (and business!)... so you don’t get lost in the sea of failure.

You’ve experienced disruption one way or another. It’s defined as an event or series of them that ultimately alter your desired course of action. It could be losing a job, enduring a global pandemic, and in many cases of business, undergoing a serious transition. Which is something that innovative entrepreneur and tourism guru David Giersdorf experienced firsthand— ultimately becoming the master of navigating disruption.

After his family lost their thriving Alaskan tourist business to a large company, David felt called to prepare himself (and those around him) for brutal storms that could potentially lie ahead. He learned that the best way to step into his identity as a leader was to lean into failure and cultivate protocols that harness our inner power while remaining vigilant about the world circulating around us.

David’s riveting boat metaphors combined with his entrepreneurial mastery makes him such an inspiring guest for the IHML Show! I’m so happy to welcome this wise and wonderful man onto this week’s episode to discuss how to navigate disruption in life and business, the highs and lows of business, different kinds of disruption, and the protocols David details in his best-selling book Hard Ships: Navigating Your Company, Career, and Life through the Fog of Disruption.

My talk with David was an emotionally inspiring one, being that both of us come from entrepreneurial families who’ve endured loss. But if either of us has taken anything away from those experiences, it’s that diving head first into the waters can seem scary at first… but there’s so much for you to learn (and experience) beneath the waves. Set sail towards your dream life now by tackling uncharted territory and embrace your inner compass!

In This Episode:

[0:56] David starts us off with his personal journey and introduces us to a never-before-heard topic on the IHML Show!
[5:25] What led to David’s first shattering experience with disruption and what he learned from it.
[11:17] This is what David believes is what’s enabling you to deny your power.
[13:04] David shares how he discovered a passion for disruption after his family’s business loss.
[17:22] So what is disruption? David expertly defines it for us!
[19:37] These are the signs to look out that you’re experiencing a slow leak disruption (according to David).
[21:33] David walks us through the process of handling a disruption in your business with his six protocols!
[32:07] Wanna step into your role as a leader? Listen to David’s wisdom!
[35:04] How disruption can impact you— even if you don’t own a business.
[38:20] David tells us what he’s most proud of throughout his incredibly diverse career!
[40:03] What can you do to create a life better than your dreams? You know David is giving us ALL the best guidance and inspiration!

Quotes:

“Now, your life's work never goes away. You find ways to apply it in new ways. And that's one of the great things about disruption that you learn over time is with each disruption comes new opportunity. And you have to hold that mindset in order to see those opportunities out there around the near corner and grab a hold of them.” — David Giersdorf

“There's no line between personal and businesses we talk about in larger corporations, the work/life balance. No, there's just the company, the vision, the mission. So you lose that, it's a huge loss when that comes to an end.”— David Giersdorf

“I've always thought that to deny your role in a failure is to deny your power.” — David Giersdorf

“We're so focused on success and failure, black and white. And I'm less interested in your successes and your failures. I'm more interested in: what did you learn? And from that, what did you do next? And from that, how are you contributing? There's more lessons and failure than success for sure. And different types of lessons. Why don't we pay attention more to that because we are gonna go on, we have to go on. So let's not treat failure like it's the end of the world, let's treat it like it's another form of stepping stone to the next future.” — David Giersdorf

“I'm a journaler, I've kept journals for decades. I journal my business experiences and insights as well as my personal life. And so I had this idea of Hard Ships probably 20 years ago. I copyrighted it and started jotting down some notes. And I had these decades of journals that I could go back to and really recap: what was that disruption? How did it impact the business and myself and my life and my career and what did I do about it? What was the outcome? And that gave me some great insight. When COVID arrived on the scene, I knew it was time for the message. I've always wanted to contribute in meaningful ways. And I felt that my message around navigating disruption and, and the other side of that is recovery. You know, disruption and recovery, something I'd feel really good about contributing. So, um, I went about the work of getting the book written and published and available.” — David Giersdorf

“Disruption is a change in circumstances. We're all good at operating in fair weather and fair seas. Let's say we assume and expect it to go on forever. It never does, but that's how we behave. But disruption is that event or circumstance that changes the trajectory and the expectations under which you were operating.” — David Giersdorf

“I always look at the behavior and attitude of my customers. Customers lead the way into a disruption, their behaviors. And they are early indicators of what the next normal's gonna look like coming out of a disruption.” — David Giersdorf

“Things have changed. So should you, so should your thinking, so should your approach. How can you partner with the future differently? What do these changes and the response of the world around those changes suggest to you in terms of new opportunities or new risks that you need to become open-minded personally, organizationally, career-wise to address in order to have a successful recovery.” — David Giersdorf

“We have north stars, we have lighthouses, we have buoys with lights on them. Those are beacons we can navigate by. I believe people can be beacons.” — David Giersdorf

“There's a point at which in those dark last miles, the mind carries the body and you have to learn how to tap into that. Learn how to keep a focus on the finish line.” — David Giersdorf

“There's a point at which you have to jump off the cliff or the diving board and have faith in yourself and do it. I call it ‘footprint into the future.’” — David Giersdorf

Are you living for true fulfillment or the “next best thing”? If you answer the latter, then it’s certainly manifesting in your daily life (and in ways, you don’t even realize). The chronic fatigue, painfully low vibrations, even your food choices! Our physical health is typically the first to experience the most aggressive symptoms of not living for fulfillment. So why are we still being conditioned to bypass these terrible feelings?

A lot of the time, those deliciously salty foods and long hours at the gym aren’t going to give you the joy that you’re looking for. But there are powerful resources and communities out there who know the truth: you have the power and ability to really heal. And like all major transformations, this one must start from within you.

Powerful manifestors like Mona Sharma have utilized this same innate power to rediscover what joy really is. When she was desperate for relief, Mona laid it all out on the table— literally. Having two heart surgeries (one of which she was awake for) woke her up to the painful reality she was living. Fulfillment felt so far-fetched to her that she escaped through disempowered life choices. So she decided to return to her roots and seek guidance from the Ashram lifestyle.

This philosophy molded her early years so powerfully that they became the foundation for her coaching approaches. Resorting to the power of food and mindfulness helped Mona turn her own life around, and now she facilitates the same caliber of transformation for her high-profile clients! In fact, Mona’s made a stellar recurring appearance on the Red Table Talk, where the Smith family details their own healing journey.

I’m utterly excited to invite the dynamic entrepreneur Mona Sharma onto the IHML Show! Together we dissect how our mindset manifests through health, Ashram philosophy, how to truly seek fulfillment, and Mona’s personal journey with food and mindfulness. Mona’s energy lights up the room (and webcam screen) with liveliness, passion, and intellect like you wouldn’t believe.

As a personal fan of Mona’s work, I know that her teachings are going to change the way you look at your health. More importantly, how you make the most empowered decisions to heal it! Don’t be discouraged from seeking fulfillment— it might be the key to unlocking your truest purpose and passion.

In This Episode: * [0:42] Mona takes us on a ride through finding personal meaning in her work centering health and wellness. * [5:07] This is the moment Mona knew it was time to make a change… * [6:46] Listen as Mona details her first steps towards experiencing Ashram life and receiving her yoga teacher certification! * [8:27] These are some of the realizations Mona uncovered in her mindset contributing to her health issues. * [11:25] Mona details how her journey helped her rediscover her childlike joy later in life. * [13:59] These are the essentials that guided Mona to leave her corporate job and pursue her purpose. * [16:27] Mona shares the physical manifestations of her self-love transformation through her blossoming health. * [20:09] How does your vibration impact your weight and health? Mona explains it to us! * [24:12] Mona shares how she navigates food triggers and the mindful practices she implements. * [27:18] More tips on how to transform your emotional and physical health from Mona (and how to turn them into rituals for your optimal self). * [31:30] The importance of self-love and releasing the fear of failure on our health journey. * [35:00} Mona divulges her masterful manifestation practices and how to attract her incredible coaching clientele! * [37:44] Wanna create a life that’s better than your dreams? Mona shares her piece of wisdom to guide you!

Quotes: “They're [the doctors] trying to take away what's causing me pain and suffering. But there was no introspection around my stress, my anxiety, what I was eating, my lack of fulfillment, my joy, how I was abusing my body at that time with food and alcohol. So that was like the buildup.” — Mona Sharma

“We talked a lot about, you know, following the nudges, trusting the nudges, whenever you get those nudges, it’s a yes, your soul is saying yes, follow that path. And that’s what I did.” — Mona Sharma

“The beauty around [ashram life is] that it causes you to shut down all of the open running tabs that are constantly running in your brain, hundreds of them. Every day. So what you're left to focus on is you, how you're feeling, the recurring thoughts that are coming up and sabotaging you, your avoidance of listening to the nudges that are actually cuing you to heal.” — Mona Sharma

“Growing up with immigrant parents, I was just chasing success. I just had to be successful. I'm also Indian. I wasn't a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant. So I felt like I had to prove myself in the beauty industry. And I did, I got to the top really, really fast. I got the salary, but I was miserable. Um, I had always struggled with this idea of not fitting in, coming from a, an interracial couple, um, going to a Catholic school and then going to the temple on the weekend, there was that, and this idea of body image, which women, especially, I think from, from my generation, we just were always in comparison and this feeling of lack. And I really live with that. Nothing I did was ever good enough. And as this hardcore driven a type, I proved to myself that I could do whatever I set my mind to, but the fulfillment was never there.”— Mona Sharma

“Growing up with immigrant parents, I was just chasing success. I just had to be successful. I'm also Indian, I wasn't a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant. So I felt like I had to prove myself in the beauty industry. And I did, I got to the top really, really fast. I got the salary, but I was miserable.” — Mona Sharma

“It was always ‘alright, what's next, what's next.’ What's next? And that’s the recipe for illness and the recipe for unhappiness. And what the hell's the point in living every day on this autopilot and for what? There is no personal joy and fulfillment.” — Mona Sharma

“When I was pregnant again, I was like, okay, every day is gonna be around loving myself, which is crazy because we're never taught how to love ourselves.” — Mona Sharma

“There's coaches who really will help you find your soul purpose, seek that out alongside your obligation until you figure out a path of exit.” — Mona Sharma

“If food is information for your body, what information are you giving it?” — Mona Sharma

“Now the challenge that comes for me, coaching my clients is that we actually live in a society that sets us up for failure and it effing sucks. All right, scientists are hired by big food companies to make foods more addictive than anything found in nature, higher in fat, sugar, and salt that rewards the reward center in our brain.” — Mona Sharma

“So often we start these diets or protocols or working with a nutritionist or a coach, and we want these results to happen overnight. But then all of a sudden with consistency over time, as we learn the behavior, change, that vibrational change that has to happen, the results will come, but acknowledge the fact that this time possibly for the first time in your life, you're doing it in a healthy state, in a healthy way. That's going to create a change for the rest of your life.” — Mona Sharma

I would say that the greatest opportunities that have come my way have come completely left field, but they always come when I'm living in a state of being that was honoring me. — Mona Sharma

Declare your desires, don’t dismiss them! Now it is more imperative than ever to live with unapologetic authenticity in every facet of life. And yes, that certainly includes business! When creating and sustaining a livelihood, you’re not just looking for an income— you’re craving a source of freedom. And you want it to deeply align with your crucial values, the dream-worthy vision… everything that ignites the vibrant fire in your belly.

It’s time you stop feeling bad or question the importance of your wants, and instead declare your desires for what they are. The strong want for things to come into fruition, knowing deep down it has the power to alter your life’s beautiful course. Because who knows where those dreams can take us. New places, opportunities, =meaningful connections… everything that we all dream of having, including Stacey Sargsion.

I had the pleasure of working with Stacey back in 2015 when she enrolled in one of my first courses. It was designed to guide you on making $6K in a span of ninety days, and Stacey was surely feeling the pressure of her shifts. But once she started to accept that her luxurious desires & love for travel were nothing short of worthwhile (and possible), she called in client after client. Now, Stacey is a world-renowned Coach and a master at facilitating instant transformational experiences!

I am ecstatic to welcome Stacey Sargison onto this week’s IHML Show episode. She never fails to show up with zest, brutal honesty, and inspiring self-reflection! Together we talk about how to declare your desires, Stacey’s personal journey to get where she is now, and what makes a transformative shift! You really don’t want to miss out on this episode full of wisdom, wit, and Stacey’s most recent wins she’s dying to share with the world!

This episode is for those who are right out of the coaching or entrepreneurial gate or have been for some time. Stacey (and I) are here to remind you that there’s nothing wrong with feeling confident in your desires— and more importantly, yourself. So declare your desires, show up with unapologetic authenticity, and live a life that feels too good to be true!

In This Episode:

[2:59] Listen to Stacey describe her fabulous coaching style and the goals she was looking to achieve.
[5:35] Stacey expresses how her luxurious desires (and love for travel) manifested into fruition.

[32:15] And of course, Stacey shares her tidbit of wisdom that’ll have you creating a life beyond your dreams!

Quotes

“I had no business. I did sales, I did marketing. I had business acumen, but not my own. I'd never created my own business. So I was like a sponge. I just listened. I didn't come thinking I knew everything. And it was also about who do I want to be as a business woman and to be unapologetic, you [Emily Williams] were the first person that I'd ever heard use the word unapologetic and new normal. And those phrases resonated with my soul and I thought, wow, actually, what type of business woman do I want to be? What type of coach, you know, what does it even entail? And so everything, like I said, everything in the course, I was just absorbing.” — Stacey Sargison

If you're just out the gate [with your business], then you've got to kind of move into it and feed into it and use your own language and go move through your confidence. So a lot of it for me wasn’t really confidence in showing up right now, I have no problem with that. But it was confidence in not one and not being somebody else. It was really stepping into not just what type of business owner, what do I want to be, but what type of woman, how do I want to show up?” — Stacey Sargison

“As a recovering people pleaser, that [owning my identity] was the biggest thing for me was to really publicly declare the type of life that I desire and go out with Gusto and believe that this isn't just some nice, expensive hobby.” — Stacey Sargison

“If people are watching me and looking for me for guidance, then I have to be the example myself.” — Stacey Sargison

“I had to have the fire in my belly to prove to other people, most of all, myself, that I could do it again.” — Stacey Sargison

“And I am so grateful that I carried on and didn't give up when it really looked like what the hell was going to come from this. I just had faith that you have the desire for a reason. You [Emily] taught me that you have the desire for a reason, trust it, because it really will have your back in moments where I really thought it didn't. It was actually my saving grace and it stopped me. It helped me come out of a very dark time because the desire was the only thing I had. And so I latched on to it, trusted it, and it brought me here.” — Stacey Sargison

“It’s also the level of trust in yourself for what you're actually putting out into the world and honoring that at the level in which you want to honor it at.” — Stacey Sargison

“Stop listening to people whose lives you're not inspired by like, just cool. You do you right now. Focus, watch people who are doing things that you're excited by. Stop taking advice from people who are boring. I know that sounds harsh, but love and light.” — Stacey Sargison

When you blend transformation with travel, there’s no telling what massively positive shifts are in store. So when James and I started brainstorming how to make Bora Bora an IHML reality, we desired more than just a luxury retreat. From the moment our attendees set foot off their boat on this indescribably beautiful (and remote) island, we wanted them to embody a new level of change. More importantly, embrace a refreshingly well-earned reality.

This IHML Experience was special for numerous reasons. Not only was it a first for our clients, but for us as well! I’ve been desiring to see this South Pacific paradise for myself forever, but this specific trip has been snowballing since 2017. Bora Bora is this oasis some people dream of visiting, fantasizing about making it a retirement or late-life travel spot. But why should we force ourselves to wait for that type of energizing experience? James and I are all about collapsing timelines, and this opportunity made for the perfect catalyst!

To ensure this transformation was going to benefit both life and work we had to assess the common themes in entrepreneurship, especially in ambitious women. The constant hustle, lack of self-care, and struggle with self-belief were the common, detrimental denominators. We craved something truly immersive, a way to show these women what’s really possible when they step into their best selves. And that demands a release of the mindset that doesn’t serve their passion, purpose, and strategy.

Our days spent in Bora Bora proved that anything is possible when you allow yourself to step into the opportunity. Which is why we’re taking this IHML Show episode to talk about the shifts we ourselves experienced, our client’s shifts, the importance of self-belief, and what the future holds for IHML Experiences! This one set such a high standard, we can only imagine where this movement will go from here!

Paradise can be a very real possibility for you— if you set out on the journey to find it!

In This Episode:

[0:20] The first thoughts of inspiration for IHML to take on Bora Bora.
[4:27] James and I describe our arrival and first moments in Bora Bora plus what came up (amidst other big changes).
[8:41] These are some of the massive transformations James observed in our clients!
[10:36] I share my favorite moment in Bora Bora (plus a client’s major shift).
[13:07] James harps on the importance of recognizing your achievements.
[16:42] I opened up the conversation with James about the cruciality of self-care for ambitious women and entrepreneurs.
[21:21] The power of being present, according to James— and a particular hotel staff member who embodied it in every sense!
[26:45] Tune into the next phase of IHML Experiences (and what inspires this level of transformation and travel)…
[34:13] James has a message for those of you struggling with worthiness.
[37:44] Where you can start applying for upcoming IHML Experiences!

Quotes:

“As with everything, it was a sign of something very, very important, which I've come to realize that I Heart My Life's intention is always impact first. So the best possible experiences and experiences that are gonna have the greatest possible outcome as the number one priority” — James Williams

“I do think from the outside looking in, like, it was a bit risky to, um, you know, sign the contract and move forward with this, not knowing how many people we were gonna get in our program and get at the actual experience itself. And, um, you know, like you said, it does require some courage, but I really believe that if my heart is calling me to do something, there is a reason for that.” — Emily Williams

“There was a tangible kind of energy. You could feel it even flying in then finally landing and getting there. You know, I think we both know, yes, this is going to be incredible, not just for the clients, but for us because it was so far outside of the bubble of our lives, of the world which is so full of information right now.” — James Williams

“And I think the word that kept coming up for everyone was just paradise because it is so secluded and every hotel has their own island essentially. And we kept saying, it's kind of like Disney world, but it's what Disney world tried to recreate. And this is actually natural and the real thing.” — Emily Williams

“I was actually being interviewed by somebody else recently and he hit the nail on the head and he said, okay, so what you're telling me about these experiences, it basically sounds like 50% of the transformational work is done just by them signing up and then the rest happens and the actual place itself.” — Emily Williams

“When people show up and come to a new place, like that's something that's so beyond what they thought would be possible for them, at least for most of our clients. And it really is that whole experience of, of your vision board coming to life. That is life-changing in every sense of the word.” — Emily Williams

“The commitment to such a huge experience that in itself was hard to get to is a metaphor for the goals and dreams that we have in life.” — James Williams

“50% of the work had been done because all they were left with was the best version of themselves. The most inspired version that had the ability to pick out the voices that were in alignment with the truth of where they wanted to go.” — James Williams

“The environment we put ourselves in is a huge part of personal work. You know you'll spend a lot of time making your home look the way you want it to look, you buy the clothes that represent you, all of these things. So when it comes to progress, the deepest work, the work on ourselves, all of these things aren't changing. So yet you want to be this bigger version of yourself, but you're trying to do it in this environment that still represents where you are, not where you want to be. It makes the growth so much easier, so much more powerful when you consciously put yourself in a curated, intentional environment of abundance. That is food and fuel for their growth.” — James Williams

“What we've found is that entrepreneurs come to us thinking they need a business strategy or marketing or whatever those tangible things are and tangible in terms of the business sense. And what we realize is they actually need to slow down. They need the mindset work, they need to take better care of themselves.” — Emily Williams

“It's the most important thing because you could have the best marketing team in the world. You could have the best strategist, the best quality of material in the world for whatever it is you do or sell. But unless you, as the leader of the company or of your life, is capable of showing up as that best person every single day, then all of that stuff is never gonna be as powerful.” — James Williams

“ A big theme for me over the last few years is recognizing I run a company, I Heart My Life. And there were many, many periods where I didn't feel that way. And I was so about the work that I was doing and it was very unbalanced and so really starting to implement rest and recovery, but things that also fuel me and bring me joy.” — Emily Williams

“You and I have talked about it many times since returning back to Texas, we just ask ourselves: how can we bring Bora Bora and the way that we were and the way that we showed up and what we experienced back into our reality here? And that's always the goal for us. We're very aware that when people attend events and retreats, it's great while you're in the room, but then what happens when you get back into real life?” — Emily Williams

“It's your responsibility to make the most out of this life, be the best person you can be. So the legacy you leave behind is something that you are gonna be so proud of and that your family and the people around you are gonna be so grateful for.” — James Williams

“The online space has so many benefits, but being in person, it just creates a deeper level of connection. And we saw that firsthand at our Bora Bora retreat.” — Emily Williams

What’s your first instinct when you’re feeling stressed? Is it more coffee, a go-to sweet or crunchy treat, or just bypassing the bad feelings? As easy (and good) it feels to dig deep into the cookie jar or chip bag, it’s only pushing the truth deep down: you’re coping. Whether it’s stress, sadness, anxiety, or anger… you’re attuning your awareness to something else so you don’t have to confront the hard truth.

And you know what? That’s a choice conditioned by our reliance on stress. So many of us, especially older generations, hustle for the money without acknowledging the deeper (and more negative) side effects of overworking. Operating in survival mode has become so deeply ingrained into our lifestyle that we forget who is the ultimate victim: us.

So when Eva Rodriguez came to with paramedics swarming her after a fainting spell, she knew that her body (and nervous system) was trying to hit her with the hard truth- and it did. What began as her budding desire to live a healthier life flourished into something massive!

A month after receiving her certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Eva embarked on her journey towards understanding the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual health! Now she’s an awe-inspiring Holistic Weight Loss & Life Coach who specializes in the emotional eating psychology and intuitive eating!

Wise women like Eva know just how badly we need to unlearn our acceptance of unhealthy stress levels. That’s why I invited her onto this IHML Show episode- to have us all asking ourselves what we really need to heal. In this episode, Eva and I discuss the psychology behind emotional eating, why awareness is our ally, and how to reawaken your intuition for ultimate healing!

For my fellow yoyo dieters and chronically stressed listeners, let this episode serve as a gentle loving reminder that you are not a number on a scale or cog in the machine. What you are is human, and someone who deserves to feel fulfilled at every level!

In This Episode:

[0:22] Eva kicks us off this episode with her hard-hitting story!
[3:34] The decision Eva didn’t realize was going to change her life (and career).
[6:32] Do you know where your acceptance of stress comes from? Eva does- and shares how we’ve been conditioned to push our health aside because of it.
[10:43] Listen to why Eva pursued the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as the solution to her chronic stress and fatigue.
[15:23] This was the key that unlocked Eva’s transformation…
[18:18] Here’s how Eva learned to reawaken her intuition!
[19:20] Why you should be looking (and treating) yourself like a whole person with interconnected parts.
[24: 06] Eva shares where the emotional eating really comes from- and how to work on it!
[30:44] This is the first step you can take to heal from your emotional eating according to Eva’s expertise!
[34:43] And of course, Eva divulges one way she believes you can create a life beyond your every dream!

Quotes

“And I realized that a lot of these illnesses like cancer and high blood pressure and all of that, they come from stress, not eating well, not taking care of your body. All of that starts to manifest. And it comes out as illness. And all of this hit me like literally a ton of breaks. Like as I landed on the floor, it all hit me. And I was like, I have got to change my life because I will end up in a similar place and I'll be ill” — Eva Rodriguez

“[about getting her certification] I started learning something I'd never heard of before, which was the mind body spirit connection and how it's all interrelated. And my mind was blown. I was like, whoa, wait a minute… so you mean to tell me that it's the foods that I'm eating that are making me feel its way. It's the fact that I'm not managing my time properly, I'm not managing my stress? That my stress is literally making me sick? All of these things started dawning on me and I made a complete change in my life.” — Eva Rodriguez

“All of these things became so crystal clear to me as the ways that I inadvertently wasn't taking care of myself, and in turn how I was showing up in the world as not my best self.” — Eva Rodriguez

“It starts with just putting yourself first. Oftentimes we forget to do that because we just get so busy and it's not until sometimes something very detrimental or very dramatic happens that we realize you have to take a break and reassess and put yourself [and your health] first.” — Eva Rodriguez

“There's a scarcity mentality of just ‘do as best as you can, work as hard as you can and save all your money cuz you never know’. And so even growing up with that, you don't realize [that conditioning] until you think about it very consciously.” — Eva Rodriguez

“I thought up until very recently in my journey that life is supposed to just be hard. And those things just happen to you, you know? And that you just kind of make due with what comes your way. I was never taught that it's all a choice.” — Eva Rodriguez

“When you invest in something, you have invested not just your time, but also your money. It makes you a lot more accountable to yourself to not only apply it, but also to complete it.” — Eva Rodriguez

“You have to be ready to make the choices, to do the difficult things, to deal with the difficult emotions, to deal with the discomfort. Because whenever you start something new, it's very uncomfortable.” — Eva Rodriguez

It’s always the first step that feels the toughest like it’s the most daunting task you’re ever going to do. And how could it not be… it’s a step in a totally new direction! But you know what’s even more thrilling than that first step towards a new life, new career, or new goal? Proving yourself wrong by showing up in a way you didn’t believe you could. And that is a transformation in itself that everyone, including you, has the ability to initiate!

It’s women like Taylor Slango that know just how intimidating a complete 180 can be. After landing her first postgrad nine to five job, she quickly figured out it was anything but aligned with her values. So you can imagine her distraught and discontent knowing she needed to branch out into the unknown to find what felt natural to her. But bouncing between odd jobs is the up and down journey she needed to become her authentic self— and unlock the power she possessed.

Once she discovered her natural knack for the online marketing space, Taylor took that revelation and sprinted with it! Although her first clients were undeniably attracted to her unique energy, the conversation behind the scenes was always: How do I make more money? How do I get my business off the ground? How do I turn up my magnetism? These pressing questions prompted Taylor to morph her flourishing business into a blend of energetics with sales strategy. And that is how her company, Aligned and Ambitious, was born!

Taylor’s business has been up and running since 2019 and proves there’s more to being successful than hitting the ground running. She’s a living, breathing reminder that building your dream life (and business) is a marathon— not a sprint! I greatly resonate with her profound wisdom, especially how she navigates personal development to fully embody the message she spread with her work.

It’s the mindfulness and magnetism that drew me to Taylor as this week’s IHML Show guest. It was an absolute pleasure listening to Taylor’s success story, how her marriage has become an amazing support system, and what she believes every entrepreneur needs to be reminded of! For those of you paralyzed by your fear of how to start building your business, Taylor has an abundance of guidance on how to make a 180 in your life and career or business.

This IHML Show episode is the perfect place to start creating that perfect work/life balance. From non-negotiables to mentorship, Taylor Slango is here to lay it all out on the table so we can get past our first steps and begin the marathon of a lifetime.

In This Episode:

[0:16] We welcome Taylor to the IHML Show and jump right into her success story!
[2:21] Taylor shares the tiny details that made her 9-5 entry-level job her biggest misery— and how she found the job opportunity that changed her life.
[4:08] Tune into Taylor as she walks us through the process of becoming a business mentor, starting her own company, and the empowered decisions she had to make.
[8:59] Here are Taylor’s top tips on getting into the marketing space and really putting yourself out there.
[14:37] These are the steps Taylor offers her clients to ensure they’re tapping into that embodiment of authentically showing up in their business (and life).
[17:09] Taylor divulges her own unique methodology for her business and its transformational vision— and the support she was grateful to have along the way.
[20:11] How can you detach from the stresses of running a business launch and celebrate your journey? Taylor tells us how she did it (on her own terms).
[23:38] Taylor is living proof that gender roles shouldn’t dictate how you live your life, here’s how…
[24:48] What’s next for Taylor and her company? Hear what she’s planning…
[27:08] Of course, Taylor spills her secret on how you can create a life that transcends your every dream.

Quotes

“And I found myself totally unqualified for the position [in online marketing] if I'm being honest, but my resiliency to figure it out and learn was there. So I got the job and it up finding, I have a really natural knack for marketing and messaging and sales and strategy.” — Taylor Slango (1:58)

“My natural instinct wasn't to let me teach people marketing because I really wanted to be immersed in that career for a little while and find that mastery. But what I did know a lot about at the time was the mindset and the manifestation and the energetic principles that go into success.” — Taylor Slango (4:22)

“Sometimes an evolution [in your vision for business] is just necessary.” — Taylor Slango (8:56)

“I think a lot of people undervalue that [patience] in the beginning of their journey. I know I did. I was like, I just want quick cash, fast results. I wanna hit the ground running. And I did, but there was more to it behind the scenes that we needed to sustain the growth, you know?” — Taylor Slango (10:00)

“In marketing, especially something about the industry itself, it's just always evolving. And so I think when you get really quick results, there's almost like a complacency that comes along with it. Like, okay, don't fix what's not broken. This is the way it can be. We can just put it on autopilot, rinse and repeat it. And I find that when you fall into that mindset, especially in the beginning, it's just a short fuse because you're required to evolve as a leader, as a thought leader, as a mentor, as a facilitator of transformation. So I think behind the scenes, there was a lot of personal development to be done. ” — Taylor Slango (timestamp appx. 10:37-11:00)

“When you're sitting down to write content or to go live, you don't need to follow a bullet pointed system. You don't need to fall into a category or a niche. It's really about creating your own space and your own proprietary, really methodologies on whatever it is that you're teaching.” — Taylor Slango (14:02)

“What's going to make you different is infusing your story and your own personal values into that facilitation because that's something you offer that nobody else ever could because they're not you!” — Taylor Slango (15:34)

“I think that oftentimes people are just so eager and ready to work with clients and sell their offers, but there needs to be a foreplay element. There needs to be curiosity being raised. We have to get people paying attention. We have to get people really emotionally invested in what's coming.” — Taylor Slango (18:08)

Do you dread looking in the mirror knowing a drained complexion will stare back at you? Don’t you want to find the perfect recipe to get that glowing, youthful complexion we see sweeping social media? Turns out you don’t need an extensive twelve step routine or the most popular face mask on the market. All you need is a little faith, lots of genuine support, and good ole’ fashioned science!

For all the ladies out there passionate about the beauty industry and how to best take care of ourselves, you might wanna sit down for this one! This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with the insightful and warm Daniela Woerner, a Spa Marketing Strategist and the founder of Addo Aesthetics!

Daniela is no stranger to stress, especially life’s ups and downs. Instead of following the path her family believed would make her successful, she pursued her passion: esthetician school.

As her life grew and she bounced from place to place with her husband, Daniela craved stability in her service-based business. What she devised next was a new kind of systemized success…

Her personal setbacks are what inspired her to launch her business in 2014. Her mission is to transform overworked estheticians and spa industry workers into successful business owners. She even invests in giving back to the beauty community by making funding contributions to help other women in aesthetics, skincare, and beauty achieve their dream.

On this week’s IHML Show episode Daniela and I deep dive into what you should really look for in skincare, why team systems are crucial for business, and what you can do to give back to your community. Yes, this may be our most eclectic episode yet! But there are some common themes (we promise). This episode is all about becoming your best self, feeling good in your own skin, and receiving the financial abundance you deserve.

You didn’t choose your passion to make a base income… you’re meant to inspire you to the world, create new ways of thinking, and encourage others to shine from the inside out! So what are you waiting for? Get to building that dream-worthy business and life, it’s worth it!

In This Episode:

[0:31] Daniela divulges how her early life and career helped shape the life of her dreams today!
[3:25] The roadblocks that Daniela faced as she moved into the entrepreneurial space.
[6:59] Tune in to hear Daniela share how building her dream team grew her business!
[10:52] Here’s why you don’t have to be the best at everything according to Daniela…
[14:25] For all of you years deep in your business, here’s how you can start leveling up your systems for success!
[20:34] Daniela shares everything you need to know about taking care of your skin— and what misconceptions to avoid!
[29:37] Looking to transform your skin? Check out Daniela’s go-to skincare products!
[32:10] Skincare is serious business, so here’s how to find somebody you can trust to guide you.
[34:18] Organic versus non-organic: what should you be using? Listen to find out…
[39:42] Daniela discusses her passion to create funding for other female entrepreneurs (and why providing opportunity helps elevate the beauty industry as a whole)!
[45:14] So, what does Daniela truly believe can inspire us to create a life better than our dreams? Hear what she has to say!

Quotes

“A big learning curve [for me] is just understanding, not my value per hour, but the value of the problem that I'm solving for that company or the amount of money that they’re going to make based off of the advice and insight that I’m giving and pricing based on that, that was huge!” — Daniela Woerner

“I think that both sides [online business or brick and mortar businesses] have things that they're really good at and things they excel at. And I think the people that really win are the ones that understand how to capitalize on the things that work really well in brick and mortar and the things that work really well in online [spaces].” — Daniela Woerner

“So for systems, your business is always growing and evolving. Every time a problem happens that I like to call an area of opportunity; you found an area of opportunity that you can systemize.” — Daniela Woerner

“Skincare is what you're doing at home every single day. So when someone comes to us, an esthetician, a service provider, we're like your trainer, right? We're your trainer at the gym. You're coming to us. We’re gonna do your treatments, that's your like hardcore workout. But the skin care that you're using at home is your healthy diet. So if you go and work out at the gym every day but you're eating fast food, you're not gonna get the exact results that you want. It's gonna be good, but you may still have some issues.” — Daniela Woerner (check time stamps 22:54 to 23:54)

“We’ve [Addo Aesthetics] always focused on elevating the spa industry as a whole. And we do that through high quality content. We focus on teaching systems, teaching ways to operate a real business, like really focusing on that.” — Daniela Woerner

“It truly is women helping women rise in entrepreneurship because as women, we impact in a different way than men. We support charities in a bigger way, we support one another. Just us being in our mastermind, we have a peer formed mastermind. And the help and support that goes on in that space is beautiful to see. And I want to spread that and recreate that as much as possible because women really are incredible beings.” — Daniela Woerner (

Have you ever had a dream that tugs and nudges you to believe you were meant for more? And if so, did any of it work out exactly the way you expected it to? Probably not! These unanticipated changes can arouse human feelings of doubt and fear, but even the most unexpected opportunities create unbelievable outcomes. That’s what my husband James and I learned among many other shifts in our journey to plant our roots in the unexpected Austin, Texas.

Living a transient life is deeply ingrained in James and me; we’ve moved nine times in the last decade. I’ve always had the dream of owning a home on my desires list, but honestly, it was never a dream that I needed to happen right away…until one day, it was.

Even though we thoroughly enjoyed that freedom to live and explore different sceneries, deep down we knew it was time to settle down in early 2021. So when I stumbled upon my good friend’s Instagram post that she moved to Austin from LA (something I never thought she’d do), it sparked an idea I never thought would strike me…

It only took a three-day trip (and an empty plot of land) to convince us that this move was meant to be. But of course, this momentous transition proved to be anything but easy. That’s why we decided to sit down (the day after we closed on the home) and divulge the ups, downs, and in-betweens of building our dream home. James and I even share our best-kept tips for fellow entrepreneurs looking to own the property they can call theirs.

This IHML Show episode is for all you big dreamers out there: your reality can transcend your dreams in ways you wouldn't believe… you just have to release your fear of the expansions (and investments) they require of you. If there’s anything we’ve learned, it’s that beautifully empowering opportunities flourish when you decide to plant your roots, but more importantly… give them the grounding love they need!

In This Episode:

[0:12] What led us to Austin, TX? Here’s how it all began just one year ago.
[4:36] Big decisions aren’t new to us, but this one was… different.
[5:48] James & I share the money mindset shifts we made to purchase our home.
[7:57] You’d be surprised at what comes up when purchasing (and building) a home— we certainly were!
[10:06] Tune in to see if we really agreed on all our home decisions.
[12:15] For all the entrepreneurs looking to own property and don’t know where to start— here’s our advice to you!
[14:39] Of course, we’re sharing our favorite spots in the house (and future plans).
[15:39] James and I divulge what excites us most now that we are homeowners!
[17:09] Would we do anything different if we could do it all over? Listen to find out…
[18:24] James shares what it feels like to be where he is now, coming from a small village outside London (and a bedroom the size of his new walk-in closet)!
[10:03] I reveal what I’d tell the version of me twenty years ago— and why I never stopped believing in my future.

Quotes

“Well, of course the decision was never gonna be made purely on house prices. You know, it peaked our interest because we were at that stage in our lives where we were ready to have our own home, we'd rented for so many years.” — James Williams

“But the interesting thing is like with mine and Emily's life, especially over the last seven years, making big decisions [and making them quickly] is not something we are new to. And we also trust each other's intuition and we're very much in alignment. And so I think that deep down, we knew that it was the right decision, but because it was so quick, obviously there's all of these ‘what ifs’ running through our minds.” — James Williams

“I never thought I'd live in Texas and it was just a big shock, but ultimately we were meant to be here.” — Emily Williams

“There was a little bit of fear that we had to move past, and just put down roots when we've been so kind of transient and free. We had to decide, is this what we wanna do right now? But ultimately I know for me it actually felt more freeing to be able to be more grounded and put down those roots. And so once I move past the fear and realize, you know, we've paid this amount of money for rent many, many times over throughout the span of the last 10 years or so, living in cities like London and LA, I moved past that fear pretty quickly, but there was a lot of initial fear. ” — Emily Williams (in between timestamp 5:54 and 7:08)

“You can have an idea of what you want and you can put kind of plans in place, but things change, right? So I think what we've learned is that over the years of running our own business the ability to pivot, because no decision [and] no process is finite in business, any more than it is in life.” — James Williams

“Never make assumptions about how you think something has to happen until you've got all the information and know for yourself how it happens.” — James Williams

“I had a coach tell me just to put aside a certain amount of money. I think it was 10% of our sales every single month. And he said, you're gonna be so surprised at how quickly that adds up and turns into a deposit for your mortgage. And I started doing that and he was exactly right. We were able to purchase a house much quicker than I thought.” — Emily Williams (13:10)

I’m sure many of you were known as the “weird” kid in school or wrongfully ridiculed for being different from everyone else. It’s even more unfair when people perceive your uniqueness as a weakness, then actively use it against you. But have you ever opened yourself up to the belief that that may be your biggest strength? If not, now is a better time than ever to invest your time and energy into discovering what you were meant to do— and be successful along the way! Grounded individuals like Giovanni Marsico remind us there’s nothing wrong with being different. Instead of being isolated or put down, we should in fact be celebrated! This very mentality sparked Giovanni’s inspiration from a very young age, and not just for his own life. What started as an immersive outlet for teenagers to come together became an international showstopper! Gio himself got labeled “nerd” and “geek” for being gifted and showing an interest in things like superheroes. But when the labels could’ve gotten the better of him, Gio took this struggle and turned it into a career like no other! Giovanni’s flourishing passion for comics and superheroes, among other life experiences, helped him design an entire philosophy known as the Aligned Path. This methodology is to help build community in a more thoughtful and productive way, where it really matters. And now Giovanni is spreading this message in the most thrilling, vibrant events anyone has ever seen! Which is why I’m super ecstatic to welcome Giovanni Marsico, creator of the Archangel summit, on this IHML Show episode! Join us as we have an empowering discussion about how to embrace our own gifts, why we should celebrate them, and what we can do to better serve others. Giovanni’s detailed telling of his own journey is enough to inspire anyone, but how he embodies it is truly magical!

This episode is for all of you looking to find your place, and to fit in. But if there’s anything Giovanni (or I) have to say, it’s that you were made to stand out… so embrace it!

In This Episode:

[1:05] Giovanni takes us back to how he got started doing his otherworldly work.
[7:31] Listen to find out where Gio’s desire to make a bigger impact comes from!
[10:52] How Gio gained the clarity he needed to realize his resentment— and how he morphed it into something mind-blowing.
[12:40] You need to know how Gio got to meet his biggest inspiration…
[15:28] Tune in to hear how you can figure out if you’re on the Aligned Path, a philosophy proposed by Giovanni!
[16:32] Gio shares how he pulled off his first major Archangel event!
[19:42] Want to build a network of meaningful connections? Giovanni knows a thing (or three thousand).
[21:25] This is what Giovanni knows is his ultimate superpower…
[24:55] Yes, Giovanni has had to work on experiencing his inspiring outlook!
[28:16] A behind-the-scenes look into how Giovanna executed his events amidst COVID.
[32:35] How can you identify your own gifts? Gio shares his framework for doing so!
[35:19] This is one of Gio’s childhood dreams that inspires the creative elements behind his events.
[39:10] We ask what Gio believes is one thing you can do to create a life better than your dreams!

Quotes

“[Being unhappy in my career] was like climbing up this giant mountain and then realizing I'm on the wrong mountain, but I couldn't have realized it until I got to that mountain.” — Giovanni Marsico

And I want[ed] to be around more people like me, where there's aligned values. And it's not just about ‘how do we make more money?’ Not that's not important, but to me, money is the tool that fuels the mission, but it's not the mission itself.” — Giovanni Marsico

“I think what I focused completely on is developing relationships and networks by being useful and constantly giving and being resourceful for people.” — Giovanni Marsico

“And part of what we [the Archangel summit] do is community building. The more you understand who you are, what drives you, and what you believe your values are, then you start finding more people like you. And the coolest thing that happens is that when you can connect to people who are aligned with you to each other, they become BFFs.” — Giovanni Marsico

“I’m constantly thinking, in my head ‘where is this person going and how can I help them get there faster?’ either through an idea or a connection or introduction or a resource or something I've done that makes sense or is useful.” — Giovanni Marsico

“I was often the new kid and didn't fit in. So now for a living, I make people fit in. I create a community! I create for the people who don't fit in, I want you to be in my world. If you feel like an alien, or if you stand out or you stick out, especially because you're different then to me, that's a thing that can be celebrated.” — Giovanni Marsico

“There's no distinction. I feel like it's an art form and it's play and it's creative. And it's fun and it's challenging and rewarding and it's problem solving and puzzle solving. But work for many people is a four letter word.” — Giovanni Marsico

“There's no voice telling you that there's something wrong with you inside your head. It's usually outside your head, people telling you what's wrong with you. And then we internalize that stuff, but we are naturally ourselves. And then we're told to stop doing the things that are naturally ourselves because it makes us stand out and it makes us different and to survive, we need to fit in.” — Giovanni Marsico

“I think we're often stuck in our living belief of what's possible because of our own paradigms or what we've been taught or shown. And then we just assume that's all there is until you start meeting people who have done bigger things, then you realize that it's possible and then it opens up the door of possibility for you.” — Giovanni Marsico

Have you ever paid attention to the ways your upbringing affects your financial hygiene? Do you catch yourself voicing the same anxieties generations prior projected onto you? Wouldn’t you say it dictates the ins and outs of your investments? That is known as your money story, and everybody has one! But if you feel that dreadful scarcity keeps you from a positive financial experience, only you have the power to rewrite that journey to ensure a successful future.

Not many people understand just how much financial responsibility is within their power. Honestly, I used to be one of them! If the last three years have taught us anything, it’s how much we value our passions and priorities (and how we best support them). External forces may enable our cycle of behaviors, but our complacency results from lacking confidence. And inspirational women like Francesca Holland learned that the best way to conquer that lack is to heal it yourself!

I invited the lovely Francesca onto this IHML Show episode to prove the power of deep inner work on our money mindset! She takes us back to the cusp of COVID times and brings us through her whirlwind transformation, both ups, and downs! I love the insight she brings to this conversation, encouraging us all to embrace our limitations so we can best overcome them. She even discusses the core frameworks from the IHML Money Workshop that educated her on how to reclaim her abundance.

Not only has her reenergized money mindset sparked the flame of new habits, but also new work and a whole new life! This episode is for anyone wondering how to be the change they want to see, yet cannot seem to start. It’s important to stop suppressing your financial fears and decide to face them head-on. Because if there is anything I want to see you all achieve, it's happily ever after!

In This Episode:

[1:05] Listen to Francesca take us through her journey the last few years!
[4:02] The biggest steps Francesa took to change her life… and her bank account.
[7:18] How Francesca began rewriting her money story (and how you can, too)!
[10:12] What are the real results of practicing deep inner work? You’d be surprised.
[16:27] Francesca shares her perspective on building a relationship with money (thanks to the IHML Money workshop she attended!).
[22:43] How the last year and a half has inspired Francesca’s vision for future work!

Quotes

“The first core thing that I did that really changed things for me was I had to take a hundred percent responsibility. I had to stop blaming society, the economy, my, you know, my college for all the student loan debt, my parents, and get my power back and realize like, I'm the only one who can change this. And so I need to start there, nothing on the outside's gonna change unless, unless I make something change.” — Francesca Holland

“If we go to blame, that means we can't actually make any change because we're not taking personal responsibility.”— Francesca Holland

“So I had to do something to change it [my money story] and this is an ongoing process. This isn't something where you snap your fingers. But I started telling myself a different story. I started asking myself: all these other people are making money and they're very successful financially, so why not me?” — Francesca Holland

“On more of a tactical end, once I did a little bit of the mindset work [and this is painful but] I got really really clear on my current money, reality, like the objective things.” — Francesca Holland

“You have to give attention to your money by paying attention to the ins and outs.” — Francesca Holland

We all go through life crises; the painstaking relationship troubles, emotionally flip-flopping over our career, and just simply trying our best to be an adult. But so often we mistake our coping with these trying times as true healing (or a quick fix). Rather, we should take these moments as opportunities to identify the common denominator: ourselves.

That very conflict is what prompted Master Coach Christine Hassler to write her first best-seller and spark an abundant career! A catastrophic series of events in her mid-twenties prompted Christine to rediscover what she was most passionate about. After quitting her successful Hollywood job, she learned she was born to teach others how to unlock their highest potential!

What Christine has learned, as I am sure many of you have too, is that real healing surely doesn’t come easily. In order to uncover the fundamental values that make our success meaningful, you have to look in the mirror. By combining life coaching with principles of spiritual psychology, Christine encourages us to use the power of intuition and compassion to break through (and even break free)! If you’re looking for that motivational boost, Christine has got them all for you!

This episode isn’t just for those in the throes of a quarter or even midlife crisis. In fact, it’s for everyone craving true fulfillment through love, business, and life itself! I myself read Christine’s first book back when I lacked clarity; needless to say, her guidance and enthusiasm encouraged me to become my best self at the internal level.

In This Episode:

[0:39] Christine shares the crises serving as inspiration for her first book.
[1:33] Listen as we journey back to when Christine (unexpectedly) decided she was meant to be a Coach!
[4:14] The switch you can flip to reclaim your journey and begin to heal.
[6:44] What really drives our goals? Tune in to find out.
[8:17] The present day passions that Christine finds in her work.
[10:34] How Christine used her desire for love to create her programs (and fall in love with herself, too!)
[16:26] Christine shares her loving reminders when she catches herself settling.
[20:34] The curveballs the Universe threw at Christine that brought her new love!
[25:05] How to uncover the everpresent power of your intuition.
[27:05] Here’s what you need to know about running a business— the feminine way!
[32:51] Christine reveals her advice to create a life better than your dreams!

Quotes

“I truly believe that when we get out of our own way and when we let go of attachments and expectations of what we think we're supposed to do and who we think we're supposed to be, life just has a way of leading us to our divine assignment.” — Christine Hassler (1:42-2:37)

“So I can either be a victim and decide life isn't fair. Life doesn't work for me. Life works for everybody else except me. Or I can say, well, if I'm a common denominator in this, what else can I create? And that was the turning point that made me just completely start to consume personal development and spirituality and not, not just kind of the so terror spirituality, but the really practical, okay.” — Christine Hassler

“I blend coaching and psychology because I found as a coach, you can only help people with their present and future so much if you don't help them clean up their past. And so I really wanted therapeutic tools to help people clean up their past as well.” — Christine Hassler

“Often our goals are kind of subconsciously driven by our insecurities. So we think we really, really want something in the external world, be it a relationship or a career or lose those 20 pounds or whatever it may be. But what we're really looking for is a sense of belonging. What we're really looking for is validation. What we're really looking for is feeling like we're enough or we're not too much” — Christine Hassler

“You know, I, like everybody, has an inner child. That's crying for help that we need to connect with. And we've seen in our work that when people really heal and connect with their inner child, their life really changes for the better.” — Christine Hassler

“We wanna love ourselves, but we've got to look, like take a really honest look at our patterns and our programming so that we can attract from where we wanna go, the kind of relationship we wanna have versus where we've been.” — Christine Hassler

“And so I've learned that either I initiate change or the Universe throws me a curve ball and gives me change that I didn't necessarily order up.” — Christine Hassler

“People think that, you know, you need to meditate on a mountain to really get in touch with your intuition. And that could be one way, but intuition is always there. It's just under a pile of stuff. It's just under a pile of all the programming and all the kind of wounding and all the compensatory strategies that we have.” — Christine Hassler (25:22-26:08)

“If you think of femininity, if you think of the female body and basic anatomy, we are the receivers bottom line and that is one of our superpowers. Now we receive and then we create life. And in business, we've got that backwards.” — Christine Hassler

“When we're overdoing and we're over pursuing we're out of balance, and there's no opportunity for things to come to us.” — Christine Hassler

“The more we can be somatically in tune with ourselves, the more we can really pay attention to how we're feeling, what we're noticing, how we're acting, the more we can have that observe [ourselves], the more we can go in and make the little tweaks internally so that we keep aligning.” — Christine Hassler

I’m sure many of you are wondering where you can (actually) begin your transformational journey. With the way we see so many entrepreneurs and influencers flaunt their luxurious lives on social media, it’s shocking we never find out their secrets. What can you do to explore the breadth of your potential? And more importantly, where do you even begin? My answer: breaking out of your comfort zone.

I’m not talking about trying something new, or continuing the work you’ve already been doing. Although it’s comforting to experience these changes somewhere familiar, it will only illuminate a fraction of your life’s possibilities. What I believe to be the most impactful is reimmersing yourself into an entirely new reality! Which is what inspires me each and every time I design luxury experiences for our high-achieving clients…

So where are we going this time? The beautiful Bora Bora! There was a time in my own life when luxury travel seemed unattainable; Bora Bora happened to be at the top of my bucket list! But now I’m (ecstatically) in a place where I can check that goal off, and bring my amazing clients along for the ride (plus my incredible husband)! Introducing them to these opportunities not only shows them what’s out there, but what they’re capable of when they put their mind to it.

I find luxury experiences to be so intimate because they also prove to me that I’m achieving what my old self thought was impossible. More importantly, it gives me the opportunity to push the limits of the work and welcome in that space for ultimate expansion! This isn’t the average luxury experience, because my clients were not meant to live average lives!

In this IHML Show episode, I navigate the ins and outs of how to prepare for a luxury experience! I deep dive into how my husband and I prepare for travel, the necessary boundaries I put in place, and how we best support our clients! For all my fellow entrepreneurs and business owners out there, this is my mini crash course on the best way to show up for yourself (and your work) whilst having the experience of a lifetime!

This episode is here to remind you that your dreams deserve more than just your Pinterest vision board— all you need is passion, creativity, and a little R&R (plus some picture-perfect outfits!).

In This Episode

[0:58] Why Bora Bora was the perfect place to launch our next luxury experience!
[5:04] The many elements of our traveling— and how we physically prepare.
[8:15] Want to know how to fly first class? Tune in to hear my number one tip!
[10:04] The practical elements that support me the best on this business retreat.
[13:15] Here’s what you should be thinking about to show up as your best self…
[16:33] How we set ourselves up for success, plus navigating COVID restrictions!
[25:48] Ask yourself THIS to keep you grounded and protected…
[26:38] Listen as I share all the business preparations I make to set clients (and myself) up for the best experience possible!
[29:56] What do we often forget when journeying towards success? Listen to find out.
[33:59] The marketing strategies we use for this experience, both inside and out!
[40:17] Go behind the scenes with us on what’s happening while we’re away!
[41:08] To my fellow entrepreneurs: here’s how I prepare before I go away…

Quotes

“I personally always start with: what feels like a stretch for me, what would feel like an up level? What would feel exciting? What would feel like I'm taking something off my vision board and actually doing it instead of waiting until I'm 60 or 70, or whatever it may be. And for me, Bora has always been kind of the epitome of what I was aiming for in terms of luxury travel.” — Emily Williams

“When you start to see that this sort of travel or level of experience is possible for you, then your mindset shifts. There's a whole new belief system that forms if you've done it once. And so, you can do it again.” — Emily Williams

“What choices in your life are making it challenging for you to have the energy to show up and deliver? Maybe that's not even a question about business or career. Maybe it's a question about you showing up as a mother, you showing up as a friend, you showing up as a spouse. What in your life is making it challenging to actually show up and deliver what you know you can deliver or helping you or, or making it so that it's impossible for you to show up as your best self?” — Emily Williams

“The majority of the world, when we're thinking about common beliefs and common ways of thinking, think about ‘how can I save the most money’. But when you're doing that, you're not actually going through the thought process of ‘how can I show up as my most rested self with the most energy I could possibly have to deliver and serve my clients.’” — Emily Williams

“And so I'm always looking at how we can make this as seamless as possible and really thinking in advance. So I like to play the whole tape through, so to speak.” — Emily Williams

“So why not just remove the stress, have your process, have the things that you require in order to show up and be your best and just own it?” — Emily Williams

“This is not an experience where you're sitting in a workshop space for the entire time. We want them out there moving. We are doing yoga, we're planning meditations, we're planning walks, we're doing an excursion on a boat.” — Emily Williams

“Even though we wanna get a lot of things done and we wanna pile on as much as possible and feel accomplished, a stressed mind cannot actually be creative. A stressed mind is not gonna come up with your best ideas.” — Emily Williams

Do you face your time of the month with absolute dread? How could you not— the agonizing abdomen pain, the mood swings, feeling tired and uncomfortable in your own body. The repetitive nature of periods, and how they affect human bodies, has been a struggle since the beginning of time. People with periods display strength simply by carrying on with their responsibilities despite the gruesome (and sometimes gorey) shedding from the inside out. But no worries, this may be the opportunity for you to sync with your body (and mind) like never before…and even use your period to help you finally feel free in your body! Dr. Stephanie Estima is an incredible woman who dedicated her career to studying female physiology, metabolism, body composition, and functional neurology. Her inspiration was born out of pure hatred for her period (rightfully so seeing that she used to bleed through her clothes every month), especially how it made her feel. What began as a need to change her own life sparked this movement of understanding the influence of menstrual cycles on health, fitness, mindset, and how we pursue excellence. From her passion for women’s health and healing birthed her signature program: the Estima Diet!

You deserve to feel happy in the relationship with your body…

… which is exactly what prompted me to sit down with this doctor on this week’s IHML Show episode! We are having an open discussion about the importance of building your relationship with your cycle through food, fitness, and everything in between. Dr. Estima deep dives into the science behind the menstrual cycle, and how it influences the ups and downs we feel weekly! Rather than restricting your body, she insists we listen to our instincts to make empowered choices and create a positive relationship with food. She even shares her own experience navigating her cycle and the changes she’s made to feel confident in her own skin (which you can find in her book The Betty Body!)

Let this episode be the beacon of hope you need to find that inner peace no matter what time of the month. Creating alignment should not be strenuous— it should be empowering. Period!

In This Episode:

Quotes:

“One of the things that I was missing was in fact that I am not a man, that I am not a little version of a man. But I in fact, am a woman with a menstrual cycle and as such having sort of these varying, oscillating hormones really week to week and truly day to day, throughout my menstrual cycle.” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

“So really understanding, playing, and tinkering around with different caloric allotments, different macronutrient allotments through the cycle really ended up being the key for me to remedy that estrogen dominance so that every month my breasts weren't angry at me, that I could put on a shirt without it being a painful endeavor.” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

“Can I change the way that I train based on my cycle? The answer ended up being, yes, I should be.” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

“I always joke and say the period is like the popular girl, she gets all the attention right?” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

“So you just, as much as we would like to think that, you know, we can go against our biology, you just simply cannot, your hormones are much more powerful. Your microbiome, the whispers that it gives your brain via the gut brain access, it's gonna be very difficult for you to resist that over the long term.” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

“I think that we're [women] scared of lifting weights. I think a lot of it still persists this myth around ‘we're gonna turn into the Hulk, we're gonna turn into this bulky, crazy, you know, bodybuilder’ right? Whenever I say the word body building, a lot of people have this sort of connotation of like these freaks of nature that are all juiced up and they're on steroids, but that's simply not true for women.” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

“I would also just say the psychology around your relationship with food, I think is an important one, we don't talk about it enough. And quite frankly, I'm not asked about it enough.” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

“I'm laying out the map [of nutrition] for you to maybe follow, but why people won't necessarily be successful in following that map is the way that they feel about themselves. The stories that they've been told from mothers, fathers, teachers, preachers,in terms of their worth, in terms of their value, in terms of their capability, et cetera.” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

“So, um, I think that if you look at your cycle as information that will help it. Your body is always providing clues, right?” — Dr. Stephanie Estima

Have you ever felt jostled by the twists and turns of your journey, but securely grounded in your unwavering desire for true authenticity? Has the thought of inspiring people by the masses piqued your interest time and time again? And if so, do you struggle to obtain the clarity necessary to attract your soul-aligned audience, cultivate meaningful service, navigate collaborative dynamics, or something in between all that entrepreneurial chaos? I am sure this has you feeling all kinds of emotions, but there may be some enlightening truth hidden beneath their poignant surface. I’m elated to welcome the riveting and powerful Rha Goddess, a soulful coach and entrepreneurial QUEEN! In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, Rha excavates the inner machinations of life purpose and what it really means to discover it. I gotta say, this woman truly blew me away with her grace and wisdom. You’ll want to hear what she has to say!

Rha reflects on her earliest memory of feeling purpose in childhood, watching healthcare professionals work miracles on family in front of her very eyes. She also recalls her tugging attraction to rockstars on TV and their ability to move people with their charismatic energy. It was the indescribable fascination with inspiring humanity that pulled this dichotomy together to evoke Rha’s ultimate dream: to help others be who they wanna be.

It’s no secret that being an entrepreneur, or navigating the career sphere in general, is an easy feat. It takes a profound amount of humility, awareness, accountability, even flexibility! After sharing her most vulnerable life moments, Rha gets real about what she did to not only realize her purpose but sustainably nourish it. Not only does she describe the skills and knowledge acquired in her business education, but Rha explains how the radical responsibility of nurturing the relationship with her whole self has bled into forms of creating and revolutionizing her work.

Listen to Rha share her experiences with people (both in and out of her company) and discuss how investing in yourself is the first and foremost step to showing up for others. I absolutely love it when she also reflects on the navigation of human emotions, encouraging us to familiarize ourselves with our feelings to grasp our core values with certainty. And lucky for you, Rha doesn’t stop there- she shares the personal and professional inspirations for her book that’s made some majorly ground-breaking changes for so many!

This interview is meant to show you that when you work with people, you have to fully embody what it means to be human. And that requires a well-deserved amount of self-care and gentle reminders that we are innately multi-faceted individuals able to mold our visions to compliment elements in our detailed life pictures.

For those of you struggling to decipher your life’s purpose, Rha is here to tell you “the difference between a life we love and a life we're tolerating is permission.” And this episode is your sign that it’s time to break free, escape those confines, and allow yourself to illustrate a reality made to exhilarate your best self (and everybody you inspire)!

Just remember that your business will innately grow and evolve, just like you. Believe me Lovely, that change is not a bad thing… but it’s crucial to always be who you wanna be!

In This Episode:

[0:04] The wonderful Rha Goddess shares brief insight on the reality of nonlinear journeys to success!
[5:01] How investing in HERSELF enabled Rha to commit to her business!
[7:43] Want clarity on your purpose? Rha describes how her work with others illuminated the center of her mission.
[9:15] The recent trendsetting tidal wave of authenticity and how it encouraged Rha to lean into guidance from her innermost values.
[11:42] Entrepreneurship ISN’T all about the money (it’s actually even bigger).
[12:52] Why mindset is the KEY to aligning with the process of your vision- and attracting opportunity along the way!
[14:39] Rha’s practices that keep her grounded, clear, and positive!
[20:05] Where the inspiration for your purpose has been hiding all this time…
[24:22] Listen to Rha’s enthralling perspective on the importance of emotions!
[26:50] The ups and downs Rha experienced in her company’s evolution (and the exercises she utilized to navigate her collaborative dynamics).
[30:08] Rha describes the transformational benefits of self-care and being malleable with your business endeavors.
[34:07] Hear all about Rha’s game-changing book The Calling (which is really more like an incredible workbook)!
[37:21] Listen to Rha’s advice on one way you can begin cultivating a life beyond your wildest dreams (the gift of permission to aspire).

Quotes:

“You know, it's so funny because when I think about my journey, it's never a straight line. I don't, I don't think [it is] for most of us, right. There's lots of twists and turns and valleys and peaks.” - Rha Goddess

“It's about helping people arrive in their most authentic selves in service to their higher purpose and calling.” - Rha Goddess

“It wasn't about going to Harvard or Yale [for business school], but it was rather about being able to sit at the feet of other entrepreneurs who had built really successful businesses from dust and learning and absorbing everything I possibly could from them.” - Rha Goddess

“There’s a lot of conversation often about how we spend [as entrepreneurs] and what fiscal responsibility is and what it looks like. I think for me, anything that was about contributing to my education, in other words, anything that was enabling me to have skills or knowledge or tools or access or opportunities I saw as investments.” - Rha Goddess

“You are the best investment you can ever make. And I don't think we hear that enough.” - Rha Goddess

“I felt like I've always known who I've wanted to serve because my history prior to starting my company was really in activism, on the front lines, working with really incredible, gifted and talented people who were struggling based upon systemic factors or personal trauma that they had gone through in their lives [and their families and the communities]. And so I felt really clear about the ‘who’. I think I started to get clear about the ‘what’ as I began to apply what I was learning and began to see the results.” - Rha Goddess

“You know, it isn't just that we wanna succeed, it's that we wanna succeed as ourselves. And I don’t also feel like that piece until very recently [was discussed]. We've talked a lot about authenticity, right? Not even five years ago we were not really on the authenticity train, this is relatively new.” - Rha Goddess

“So what does a performer look like? And you know, how do you think about expenses and what does a startup need to have in order to really have a strong foundation? I was in school, sort of informal business school while at the same time really trying to allow myself to be guided by my values.” - Rha Goddess

“Most entrepreneurs that I meet are not in it for the money. They're doing what they're doing because they're passionate about the thing they wanna offer, the contribution that they wanna make, and the money facilitates it. It makes life easier, no question. It allows us to get the support that we need to deliver on the vision, but we're always [in my experience] often fueled by something bigger. And I would say that certainly the most successful businesses, the businesses that have the most longevity and also the happiest and healthiest entrepreneurs are driven by things that they're really, really passionate about.” - Rha Goddess

“I know that for me, I spent a significant amount of time establishing practices that enabled me to stay in a really positive place, to stay in an attracting place for the opportunities and resources and people that I wanted to attract to help me facilitate growing my vision.” - Rha Goddess

“I think the last 23 months of what we've all been through have caused us to really want to take a deeper cut at what it means to take care of ourselves.” - Rha Goddess

“And I believe it [our purpose] lives at the intersection of our values, our unique talents and the things that we care most about the things that we wanna affect in the world. We have an opportunity, and dare I say a responsibility, to create the room and the space to figure it out. Some of the questions I ask people when they are trying to find their purpose is ‘what is it that you really care about? What is really important to you?’” - Rha Goddess

“It's often through our emotional experiences that we actually have the potential to get clarity about what matters and what's really important to us. I share this because sometimes we get taught to suppress our emotions, that our emotions are not healthy, that they're not useful. But I actually challenge that. I think that they contain phenomenal information, especially your anger.” - Rha Goddess

“We're multifaceted, multi-spirited, and multi-talented. And I think the more that we can be in our full self expression, the more that we are actually fulfilled.” - Rha Goddess

“I wrote the book [The Calling] as a blueprint for people who are trying to find their purpose or people who have a sense that they have a purpose and a calling, but they have not given themselves the permission to pursue it.” - Rha Goddess

Have you ever felt like life was simply a never-ending hamster wheel of stress, a constant endless battle to balance everything thrown at you? It is a feeling many people experience, often we turn to practices of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and more to focus on self-care, releasing stress, searching out ways of finding that inner peace. Stress plays a huge role in our lives, in every part of every day. Many of life’s decisions, big and small, can be stress-driven. Often this leads to a cycle of being addicted to stress.

Yes, stress can be addictive! Stress is so much more than being worried or overextended, it can significantly affect both mental and physical health. Put simply, stress is the way our body responds to demands, positive and negative. Our body's stress response also can make us feel good. This can lead to a cycle of taking on more and more stress, resulting in that feeling of being trapped on the hamster wheel with no way of breaking free.

It takes great internal strength to overcome stress, and everyone does so in different ways. One self-development method that has become increasingly widely used is manifestation. Manifestation is the practice of embracing intentional, aspirational thoughts, and then making them a reality in one's physical life. There are many different approaches and methods of manifestation, overall it is a process of opening up within, realizing one's true self, and then embracing that untapped true potential. Manifestation has become popular in the mainstream over the last few years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, it is not new, manifestation is based on ancient beliefs and philosophies of interconnectedness.

This recent I Heart My Life Show episode presents an intimate conversation with Neel van Lierop, self-development expert, spiritual guru, and intuitive entrepreneur. She is the founder and author of the Inner Compass Cards, a self-development and manifestation tool used to help people connect with themselves. Neel shares a bit of her journey and inspiration behind the Inner Compass Cards as well as some of her thoughts on manifestation with our founder and host Emily Williams. Emily uses the Inner Compass Cards in both personal and professional capacity, including sharing them with clients. In this episode she connects with Neel, learning more about the inspiration behind the cards, and how Neel herself uses them.

Neel shares how she overcame many personal obstacles to reach a place of living without stress controlling her life. She explains how her transformation from living in the “rat race”, stressed out, sick, unfulfilled, led her on a journey of personal healing and manifestation. That path in turn led her to develop the Inner Compass Cards and guidebooks, something she uses daily to continue living a life that is not mandated or ruled by stress.

Based upon 49 life themes, these card decks are a growth tool, drawing from ancient schools of thought like Taoism, Mayan mythology, Buddhism, and the I Ching. The cards are intended and designed to offer people a path towards more intuitive, carefree living, building a deep connection with their inner selves. Neel has been featured in publications worldwide, including working with Goop, New York Magazine, Rose & Ivy, NY, and many more.

This I Heart My Life Show episode is inspiring for those who already use manifestation, as well as for those who are new to the idea of manifestation, personal power, and inner peace.

In This Episode:

Neel shares her personal story of overcoming insomnia, eating addiction, stress addiction, learning to be ok alone, and being a workaholic.
Living intuitively, taking the first steps towards a stress-free life.
Working less, disconnecting, choosing the right amount of stress.
Neel and Emily discuss manifestation, intuitive entrepreneurship, starting a business, and making the right decisions about where that business will go.
The idea and motivation behind the Inner Compass cards and how they came to be a global presence.
How to use the Inner Compass cards and guidebook. Neel shows us how she pulls a card and does a reading.

Quotes:

“I honestly, I think it's our own minds, it's what we believe that is important. So, it's about priorities, you know, if you think your work is a higher priority than your children or your body. So, I really learned to ask myself what I need in the moment, you know? So, I started doing that, the biggest switch I made in 2015 was when one of my therapists said to me, ask yourself like a hundred times a day, what do I need in this very moment? So that really helped me to live more in the now.” - Neel van Lierop

“There were a lot of must-do’s, you know, every, every hour there were things that I had to do. So, there's only one person who's able to change this. And I just decided to have peace, you know, peacefulness and health as a number one priority. So, your days look very different. And I decided not to have the day controlling my life or those to-dos, but I am in charge, you know? So that was a whole different ball game. Really inner peace is my top priority. That has everything to do with how you handle things because there's always stressful moments presented to you, so it starts within your mind what you do with it, how you react.” - Neel van Lierop

“I think it starts with the awareness that you can change something and that you want to change something. I think for a lot of people it's about running, you know, running away from what's going on inside and what you really are supposed to deal with, you know? So, we flee or run away. How do we know what's the best way to approach? It is really important to sit down with your emotions to heal things that were suppressed, you need to face them. And that's the hardest part I would say.” - Neel van Lierop

“I love this way of living. You see that life is full of serendipity, every day is like full of magic miracles.” - Neel van Lierop

“I don’t work hard, I work smart.” - Neel van Lierop

How do you see desire: as a challenge or an opportunity? If you chose the first option, you definitely believe your desires aren’t within reach. But don’t worry, that isn’t your fault. Living in a masculine culture as a feminine person means pushing your instincts deep down. So much so you don’t even recognize them. This unfortunately conditions us to feel anger and shame towards our desires, which only pushes us away from our power even more. But have no fear, because there are magnificent women leading a rebellion to honor our womanly desires. In case you missed it, I had the magnetic Mama Gena on the IHML Show to discuss how to take your pleasure seriously. Her New York Times best-selling novel, Pussy: A Reclamation, speaks volumes about the importance of desires to our wellbeing. Not only for ourselves, but other people as well! I felt called to share my essential takeaways from this book that have not only influenced my life but many others, too.

Pussy is a much needed reminder that we women are worthy of all we desire. More importantly, we shouldn’t feel discouraged by the challenges of experiencing them. Embracing our desire means discovering our creativity, wealth, and knowledge. Mama Gena loves to remind us that the feminine force is responsible for desire, but the masculine takes responsibility in maintaining it. This power struggle is what pressures women to second-guess their power, and all the ways they can express it.

Let this podcast episode be the inspirational pep talk you need to rediscover what desire means to you. It’s well within your right to experience the beauty of desire, and all the transformation that comes from it!

In This Episode:

Emily shares her biggest learnings from Mama Gena’s book, Pussy: A Reclaimation.
What makes a woman a legend? Listen to find out.
Why your wants and needs matter most to you— and the rest of the world.
Emily shares her life mantras inspired by Mama Gena and Raymond Holliwell.
How you can rewire your mind to trust your desires (and strengthen your instincts).
The exercises that Mama Gena believes can help us discover our deepest desires.
If you struggle to see your desires as reality, tune into what Mama Gena’s book says.
Why everything leading you to your desires is just as important.
The ultimate sacrifice to get what we want most in this world…
Do you know the most important part of a woman’s journey?
The one (of many) definitions of fabulous— and why each woman is capable of it.
How listening to your inner child can transform your life!
Emily shares Mama Gena’s legendary dress story to remind us all we deserve to make our dreams a reality.

Quotes:

“Every woman’s legend must be lived in order to feed the evolution of the world. We will never live our legend if we follow someone else’s script or someone else’s roadmap, listening to and living our desires if they were a roadmap to our truth is the way we women live.” - Emily Williams (quoting Mama Gena’s book Pussy: A Reclamation)

“We are all impacted, influenced, and shaped for the better by the radiant power of a woman’s desire.” - Emily Williams (quoting Mama Gena’s book Pussy: A Reclamation)

“When you look at your desires, are you looking at them, feeling ashamed, feeling like you need to hide them, feeling like you’re not good enough to achieve them, feeling like if you go for those desires, then someone’s gonna be negative, or are you looking at it as you know what the world requires?” - Emily Williams

“True desire represents the urge of life, seeking a fuller expression and is kept alive by the continuous expectation of its fulfillment.” - Emily Williams (quoting Raymond Holliwell quoted by Mama Gena)

“I’d love for you to think about a time when you actually followed a crazy desire, but it ended up working in your favor. We all have stories like that.” - Emily Williams

“I believe the word ‘desire’ is much stronger than the word ‘want’.” - Emily Williams

“Feeling turned on at the thought of a desire sends an energetic vortex of attraction out into the world.” - Emily Williams, quoting Mama Gena

“We [women] are designed to rupture in order to continually shed the skin that no longer fits us.” - Mama Gena as quoted by Emily Williams

“The problem is that we women are so deeply wounded by the masculine culture in which we’ve been raised.” - Emily Williams (quoting Pussy: A Reclamation)

Does desire drive you to live authentically, or are you afraid of unleashing that power within? Has your conflicted want for visibility become the bane of your existence, driving you utterly mad with confusion and fear? What would be possible for you if you nurtured that divine feminine energy? You would not believe the positive change you can create for yourself (AND other women) by listening to your desires.

I’m thrilled to have the riveting and wise Regena Thomashauer onto the IHML Show, also known as motherly media personality Mama Gena! I’ve been a fan of her work for some time now, implementing her own magnificent teachings and tricks into my own life! Her book Pussy: A Reclamation was an influential read of mine; it certainly has been for many other women! This bell-selling author navigates us through the monumental journey of feminine empowerment through pleasure, sexuality, and healthy doses of self-expression!

Wouldn’t you agree that womankind’s best stories begin with difficulty? Mama Gena certainly likes to think so! She begins by bringing us back to her earliest times of struggle, and how her encounters with the ethereal feminine presence sparked a “delicious feeling” in her. This is the inspirational catalyst for Regena’s entire movement!

Through her own experiences, Regena evolves into an authentic advocate for the essence of womanly instinct: desire. Through fashion and friendship, she instills in us that we all possess a need to be seen for who we are. More importantly, how (and why) we shouldn’t feel guilty striving to do so! Regena also divulges the origin story of how she connected with her Mama Gena persona, providing the first steps WE can take to explore that similarly powerful version of ourselves!

This is the grounding for her entire educational vortex of thinking, being, and doing!

Mama Gena teaches us that when women satiate their wants at every level, they uncover legendary gifts. She excitedly rants to us that generosity is one of the infinite ways a woman can inspire the people around her (which I absolutely loved). However, it is our womanly responsibility to trust our energy so that we establish a safe, supportive space for other women to discover that same enlightenment! Absolutely incredible, isn’t it?!?!

I love how Regena tells us how she’s personally steered through belief systems in religion that shame or invalidate the nature of the divine feminine. As someone who grew up in a religious background, it was personally difficult for me to overcome negative criticisms of feminine desire. Gena advises us to enjoy the immortal spirit of earth’s feminine beauty as a way of connecting to our individual spirituality- and eradicate those feelings of shame!

This episode is to remind you that dressing up and stepping out is more than just a lively outing. Under the surface of womankind’s vibrantly alluring expressions, it’s really about embodying creative truth. But in order to get there, we have to dig deep through the wardrobe holding our innermost expressions and wear those pieces of us with unapologetic confidence!

For those of you out there struggling to begin that journey of divine empowerment, Mama Gena is here to prove to you that leaning into your innate self is the perfect guide to getting there.

And more importantly, you are the leader of this amazing adventure- so navigate YOUR way!

Quotes:

“I would say all really good stories start with women. It starts with a rupture. You know, there is no really great tale of a woman becoming who she is in the world that doesn't start with some kind of profound rupture or difficulty or challenge, like the best stories are made of that.” - Mama Gena

“I learned that the goddess lives in the periphery and I got hell bent on finding her.” - Mama Gena

“As women, we have so much self criticism that takes the place of our ownership of our feminine majesty and miraculousness. I was just kind of desperate to find a way to live the fullness of who I was as a woman.” - Mama Gena

“It was through the discipline of pleasure that I encountered the divine feminine that I'd always been looking for, literally in my own reflection. It's pleasure that allows me to see the goddess in me. [I was like] I've got to tell women about this because it's the greatest, best kept secret of our generation!” - Mama Gen

“I wanna say to you dreamers out there: put together your dream team. Have people who see you, who believe in you, who stand for you because it makes all the difference in the world. When you falter and waiver, to have beloved friends say, “You got this kid, you can make this happen. This dream is not too big for you…” that makes all the difference in the world between a woman being able to stand for her truth and stand for her desires.” - Mama Gena

“There is no desire that is inconsequential. It is. It's the way we hold hands with the goddess, how the goddess presents herself on this earth through our longings and [through our] desires. So there is no desire that is frivolous or unimportant. Every single one of your desires is so, so precious.” - Mama Gena

“When a woman is turned on she's herself, meaning she's more likely to say her truth, stand up for herself, speak, whatever her values contribute. And we [the world] require that like right now, the masculine and the feminine are really at an imbalance.” -Mama Gena

“[Generosity is] kinda the nature of women, right? When we find something wonderful, whether it's a great movie or a great show on Netflix or a great recipe, or a great bath oil, the first thing we wanna do is tell all our girlfriends!” - Mama Gena

“By surrendering to your deepest longings and desires because your desires will take you places you could not even dream or imagine. And that is the key to really live an unimaginable life, to just tune in to what you most deeply long for. And you will have an ever unfolding, expanding adventure!” -Mama Gena

Do you ever crave a change in pace, or maybe even priorities? Has the constant chaos of life and business kept you from reflecting deep within to grow? I’m sure at one point in your life, you’ve yearned for that type of break. I know I certainly did- but now I’m back! I’m super excited to be returning to business with the IHML Show and SO much more! I wanted to express the deep gratitude I feel for creating space to not only invest in other parts of my life, but see what needs more of my energy. As many of you have listened in on, my husband James and I have been in the process of creating and moving into our newest home in Austin!

With hectic ups and downs, temporary homes, and everything in between, we’ve been VERY busy. Not to mention, we were adjusting to life in a new city!

Throughout this momentous process, I’ve noticed significant shifts in my focus and drive towards business- especially this podcast. It became seemingly apparent throughout my personal life that I was in MAJOR need of a break. Not because I wasn’t passionate or in love with the brands I’ve built, but to really question if I was putting the systems and structures in place to get what I wanted done!

I’ve not only learned how to be more attuned to my needs and wants in business, but my personal life as well. In the last few months, I’ve invested in revitalizing my nutrition and mindset with the help of coaches and a therapist! I knew my body and mind were craving an expansion, but that required me to be more open to deprogramming much of what I’ve been conditioned to believe about the world- and myself.

When you dive deep into the blueprint that formulates how you construct your life, it’s easy to mistake deeply ingrained conditions as your own. Humans, especially us women, have accustomed our sense of selves to fit stereotypical roles. Truth be told, they rarely ever fit us.

The purpose of my work, my absolute mission, is to show every woman out there that they have the power and resources to create a life that transcends their wildest dreams. Living life as your unapologetic self does not mean you embody a persona that doesn’t align with your values- it means finding what ignites your soul with inspiration and giving you freedom to find your purpose.

Holding onto the core of my work while navigating new adjustments felt so daunting to me, but I now see those parts of me can coexist as long as I choose to be genuine with my desires. As someone very high paced and driven, I found it personally challenging to put the IHML Show on a shelf to revisit, because I know just how much it means to me. But there are other endeavors, like my consulting work and intimate relationships, that deserve just as much of me as everything else.

Let this podcast episode serve as a powerful (and positive) reminder that it’s okay to need a break. It’s more than okay to lean into those instincts, take a step back, try something bold and new. What’s most important to the journey of finding your happiness is allowing yourself to nurture the energy from within, uncover what matters most, and create some meaningful from it.

Out with the burnout and in with the rejuvenation. We are BACK… and more aligned than ever! So excited to share what’s to come for IHML, The Emily Williams brand, and my own journey with self-care and love!

In This Episode

I take you behind the scenes of the personal and professional transitions I’ve been experiencing during our eight month hiatus
How I prosperously pivoted by choosing abundance and giving myself permission to explore life outside of the IHML podcast
The hectic nature of my moving and traveling endeavors- but it was ALL well worth it in the end! I also reflect on my first encounters with Austin as our potential new home!
How making my new house into a home simultaneously grounded AND freed me from the pressures of investing all my energy into business.
Everyone has a choice to pivot their life path- and that certainly includes you!
Kicking off some AMAZING workshops and a brand new mastermind inside the Emily Williams brand!
How putting things on hold helped me revitalize my brand(s).
The personal work I’ve been putting in to be the WHOLE woman and my best self!
Hard work, especially on ourselves, is never easy- but it’s necessary for our pure happiness.
Why you should allow yourself to listen to the cravings for change!

Quotes

“I think so often as multi-passionate entrepreneurs, we don’t actually wanna take a break and we have a million things on our plate.”- Emily Williams

“I knew that it was time to give myself a break. So maybe you’re in that space right now where you’re questioning whether it’s time to put something on the shelf either completely or temporarily, just really give yourself permission, permission to explore what that would look like.” - Emily Williams

“I think relief is one of those emotions that is very underutilized. It’s not paid attention to enough, but it can give us so much clarity.” - Emily Williams

“It’s been such a blessing to have this community here [in Austin], to support us, to help us go to the next level, to help us fit in, to help us get settled.” - Emily Williams

“I think the interesting thing about owning a home, or at least for me is that it actually feels more freeing. And so you would think, you know what, that doesn’t make any sense, right? We have, if I have an apartment or something that’s temporary that I’m renting, that actually feels more free because I’m not committed to it. But I found that this feels really grounding! And in that, that makes me feel free.” - Emily Williams

“I feel grounded and feel free to do other things too, because of this level of stability, and this investment that we’ve made. I feel like that gives me a sense of freedom to go and do other things, to make other investments, to expand the business, to do lots of the stuff that I’ve been waiting to do. And so, it's really interesting when you tap into yourself and see what is really important.” - Emily Williams

“It’s important to always be recalibrating and ask yourself, ‘what are my desires today? What would feel really good? What would feel like relief to me?’”- Emily Williams

“I want you to understand that you always have a choice and maybe it’s a choice to pivot. Maybe it’s a choice to start something new, like a business or a career that does provide more freedom, but really pay attention to what would make you feel free.” - Emily Williams

“All of us have decades worth of programming, not just in our own life, but hundreds of years worth of programming from generations prior. And this is not an easy thing. It’s not like flipping the switch. As we like to say on the IHML Show, this is hard work.” - Emily Williams

“The thing that’s remained the same is that I’m passionate about helping women create a life that’s better than their dreams.” - Emily Williams

Do you ever find yourself caught in a cycle of overwork, having to choose between self-care and being of service to your clients and community, and constantly feeling as if you’re on the edge of burnout? Maybe you’ve even been receiving physical and mental health reminders lately telling you to slow down, but every time you think about taking a break, you’re wracked with guilt and worry?

Being a busy and booked woman in business (or climbing the career ladder) is no easy feat. Whilst we work hard to increase both our income and our impact, many of us have a tendency to overdo it on the giving scale—to always be hustling towards the next shiny thing, pursuing new projects, or creating something new without pausing for breath. We worry that if we take a much-needed break, we’ll lose the momentum we’ve been working so hard towards building… that our stats will flounder and that the world will forget about us. So instead of listening to our intuition and taking a step back, we tend to keep piling things on our plate until they topple over.

But here’s the thing… if your energy stores are depleted, it’s your responsibility (and yours alone) to replenish them. Not only does this serve you, but also the people you love, and the people relying on you at work. So whatever it is that you need—creativity, drive, motivation, or that elusive spark that steered you in the direction of starting a business in the first place—taking a step back might be just what you need to encourage it to come out of hiding.

And because we like to lead by example, we’re taking a break, too! As you might know, 2021 has been a transformative year for us here at I Heart My Life. If you’ve been following along with our rebrand, you’ll know that we’ve been busy setting the foundations for massive growth behind the scenes. That’s why we’ve decided to press pause on new podcast episodes for a while, and allow ourselves the space to soak up new inspiration—so that we can come back better than ever, and with lots of surprises up our sleeves.

In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show (our last one for a while!), Emily shares the lessons she’s learned about content, creativity, and balancing being of service to both yourself and to others. If you’re busy juggling work, business, family, and all the other responsibilities that keep piling up on your plate, consider this a loving reminder that it’s okay to step back and take a breather, too. Trust us, your big mission (or your community) is not going anywhere.

And don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere either. There are over 230 episodes in our archives for you to dive into while we’re on hiatus, so you can listen and learn whenever you like. We’ll see you soon!

In This Episode:

Why we shouldn’t neglect our health reminders and warning signs
The benefits of building out systems and structures that support your growth
Is hard work equivalent to hustle, or is there a better (and more balanced) way to achieve sustained success?
The different seasons we move through in business
Why Emily has never believed in the idea of making do with what you’ve got
A lesson we can learn from the feeling of relief
Making the shift from a state of urgency and scarcity to one of ease and flow
What to do if you’ve got a tendency to overgive and overdeliver
Why we’re giving ourselves permission to repurpose valuable content (and you should, too)
And finally, why the IHML Show is going on hiatus for a little while!

Quotes:

“I believe a pivot is about letting things go and really deciding what you're going to put your attention and focus on in order to get the results that you want.” - Emily Williams

“Hindsight is 20/20. Of course, hard work is one of the things that got me where I am today. But at this stage in the game, I started to see that it was time for me to take a break. It was time for me to figure out a different way of living and being, without being so obsessed with being involved in every element of my company, without feeling like I needed to fill all of my space and time with another project, without continuing to pile things on my plate.” - Emily Williams

“I'm very focused on my mission and I know what I want to accomplish. This work is so important to me. And so the question for me became: ‘What is it that I want to give my attention to in order to carve out more space?’ Because I do believe that we can have it all, but I don't believe we can have it all at the exact same time.” - Emily Williams

“First and foremost, figure out what this chapter is about for you. What season are you actually in, in your business?” - Emily Williams

“If you are building a business or starting a new career right now, keep moving forward. When a plane takes off, that’s when it uses the majority of its fuel. That’s where you are right now—so maybe this period you're in is about hustle and about showing up. But that doesn't mean that you don't take care of yourself while you're going through that.” - Emily Williams

“It took me a long time to realize that we don't actually have to do everything at once—and that when we do that, we have a tendency to dilute everything that we're doing. So instead of picking one thing and doing it really well, we're giving a certain percentage of our energy to a bunch of little things.” - Emily Williams

“Relief is one of those underestimated emotions. If you feel relief when you take something off your plate, it’s telling you that you weren’t in alignment.” - Emily Williams

“What if we got better at repurposing? What if we got better at making sure that as many eyes or ears got on the content as we possibly could instead of rushing onto the next? That's what sometimes happens, especially with things like podcasts or emails, we're cranking out so much content, and yet we're spending very little time, energy and resources, actually making sure that what we create gets into the hands and the eyes and the ears of people who need it.” - Emily Williams

“I can serve and I can take a break. It's possible to do both.” - Emily Williams

“Put your focus on the things that are going to move the needle, the things you're excited about, the things that drive you and fuel you, the things your community wants. And make a plan for the other stuff—no, that doesn’t mean you toss it.” - Emily Williams

Do you thrive on tight deadlines and always leave things until the last minute? Do you struggle to switch off, and sneak away to check your inbox after hours? Or maybe you’re the kind of person who’s never found without a project, even when you’re on vacation?

Millennials have long been dubbed the ‘burnout generation’. We’re conditioned to keep hustling, chasing goal after goal, and rushing from one project to the next without pausing to rest and recover. Whether we’re working for ourselves or climbing the career ladder, we’ve got massive to-do lists, and even bigger missions—and ramping down our efforts always feels like a risk we would rather not take.

Just like a strong cup of coffee, goals and deadlines give us a burst of motivation right when we need it most. But what happens when we start to rely on them to get anything done, and stress becomes our default setting? As it turns out, we can become seriously addicted to it—and feel the repercussions across every area of our lives.

The American Institute of Stress reports that three quarters of us experience stress that affects our physical health, and half of us have trouble sleeping. All this goes to show that our overwork and overwhelm cycles are a symptom of something bigger—and that managing our stress hormone levels is the key to leading a healthier, happier, and calmer life.

In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, our founder Emily Williams sits down with author, speaker, sleep coach, and longtime friend Devin Burke. Once a busy, booked, and burned out personal trainer, Devin has firsthand experience of how stress hormone addiction can show up and wreak havoc in all spheres of life—from sacrificing family time to never feeling fully satisfied with any of your achievements.

Years of healing work later, he has successfully shifted into a more relaxed state of being and restored both his joy and his health—and now, he helps hundreds of clients all around the world to do the same. His life philosophy? Experience more freedom and suffer less, each and every day.

If you’ve always wondered why you find it so difficult to ramp down and unwind, and know that you’re subconsciously seeking out some of the challenges you’re facing, be sure to listen until the end to find out the daily rituals and practices that Devin stands by so you can take the first steps to shifting from stressed out to fully rested.

In This Episode:

What is cortisol, and how can your body get addicted to it?
The dangers of using stress hormones to fuel, drive, and motivate you
Devin shares the story of his own stress addiction as an entrepreneur
Why it’s important to find a balance between pushing forward towards your goals, and taking time to rest and recover
The practices and rituals that helped Devin heal his stress addiction and shift into a more relaxed state of being
Why you should stop putting conditions on rest
How to build a list of non-negotiables to support you in making this shift.
Devin shares how he “fires himself” from roles in his business to free up space in his schedule
How long it really takes to start experiencing change and freedom from any new habit

Quotes:

“When we don't sleep, that throws off all our hormones, our cortisol levels get out of whack and this vicious cycle goes on and on because now we're looking for coffee, which then is like dumping gasoline on an already hot fire.” - Devin Burke

“Stress is a source of fuel just like anything else—like coffee, like adrenaline. It’s something that gives us energy, and we can get addicted and rely on things that give us energy and help narrow our focus. So stress becomes a tool that people continue to use to narrow their focus and to get things done. But when you don’t shift back to that parasympathetic automatic rest response, that’s when we burn out.” - Devin Burke

“A lot of people think that unless they're stressed, they're not working hard enough. They're not getting enough done. They're not going to be successful. I've often had this sphere around, well, if I do things in a calm manner, or if I move through my life peacefully, is that really true drive? Am I actually going to achieve what I want to achieve? And so there's this shift that needs to happen. And I'll put my hand up for this as well, where we see that there's a different way and there's a better way. And we start to convince ourselves that it's actually the opposite in that we'll get more done and we'll achieve more if we don't rely on the stress hormone.” - Emily Williams

“I had this feeling that I always had to be doing something. If I wasn't doing something, I was behind. And I realized that I was trying to match my map of the world, to the map in my mind. And when there's a mismismatch of these maps, it creates stress. And so for me, I was like, well, I can try to change the world, which is a noble thing, but it creates a lot of stress. But I can also change my idea of the map.” - Devin Burke

“Having a consistent mindfulness practice has changed my life. Meditation allows you to create space in your mind. It allows you to see the craziness that happens in our mind and gain perspective. It allows you to stay relaxed and accomplish things.” - Devin Burke

“Breaking a pattern of physical addiction is hard and it's painful and it's scary because it's unknown territory. Your body might go: ‘no, I need this, this is how I've been able to achieve, this is how I operate, and this is how I'm able to do what I do.’ Those are all stories that I think need to be deconstructed.” - Devin Burke

“My goal is to experience more freedom and less suffering every day.” - Devin Burke

“Most of us are not trying things that we know will work or that we've heard will work because we're scared. And anytime we operate from a place of fear, that's not true freedom, that's not true joy.” - Emily Williams

We all desire and deserve to have beautiful photographs of ourselves: to share with our friends and loved ones, to feel good in our own skin, and—if we’re pursuing our passions in the online business space—to visually represent our grand vision and put it out there for the world to see.

And yet, few of us feel fully at ease in front of the camera. We stress about our clothes and our smiles, worry about where to put our hands, and convince ourselves that we’re “bad at photos” (looking back on unflattering school photos as evidence). These stories stick with us for years—but a single session with your soulmate professional photographer can change that narrative forever.

In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, our founder Emily Williams sits down with world-travelling personal branding photographer Wendy Yalom. Wendy’s work has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and the New York Times—but perhaps the most remarkable thing about her is her magnetic energy, which makes everyone she meets want to work with her, and see themselves through her lens. One of Wendy’s most fundamental beliefs is that every woman she photographs is gorgeous, and she considers it her personal mission to help her clients see themselves as such.

Wendy has been traveling the world and photographing some of the world’s most transformative coaches for almost a decade, and most recently teamed up with Emily at the stunning Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia ahead of the launch of the all-new Emily Williams brand. It’s safe to say her work holds a special place in our hearts here at IHML!

In today’s episode, you’ll get to soak up Wendy’s wisdom around the evolution of brand photography and how to feel confident in front of the camera—PLUS get a behind-the-scenes look at the glamorous EW photoshoot, with insights from both Emily and Wendy on how it all played out. Be sure to take a look at the Emily Williams website as you listen to this episode to see how the vision for the shoot came to life!

Trust us, there’s a lot more to beautiful imagery than meets the eye! From scouting locations to prepping and pairing outfits, it can be a stressful and nerve-wracking process. But hiring the right person will make sure your mind is at ease, and your essence is captured. What we love most about Wendy is how much thought she puts into every minute detail of the process—so that each of her clients feels totally taken care of on the day of the shoot. Once all the details are ironed out, what matters most to her is the message your photos convey—and that you feel as good as you’d like to look.

Whether you’re looking to elevate your personal brand with some new imagery, or you’d like to get into the photography business yourself, you’ll pick up invaluable pointers from Wendy—so you can ace your next shoot.

In This Episode:

How Wendy got into the world of photography, from shooting weddings to top coaches
Why Marie Forleo was the pioneer of the authentic personal branding photography trends we’re seeing in the online business space today
The most common fears and worries that hold women back from showing up as the face of their brand, and how to overcome them
How to identify and shut down the stories you’ve been telling yourself about benign bad at photos—and start feeling confident in front of the camera
Why money mindset work is the key to confidently charging at a high-ticket price point
Wendy’s foolproof shoot planning process, from organizing outfits to scouting locations
Why location matters for brand photography shoots
Emily’s perspective on preparing and posing for brand photos—and the emotions that show up beforehand
Wendy’s top tips for the day of your photoshoot

Quotes:

“For me, there are two things that are fundamentally important. The first is that I’m collaborating with the person on their vision for their brand. So I’m not creating a cookie-cutter version. I could have six different women say they want elegant, beautiful, sophisticated shots, and each one would have a totally different interpretation of what that is. So it’s about getting inside their imagination. And the second piece is about creating a space where the day itself makes them feel that they are so taken care of.” - Wendy Yalom

“We have all these beliefs about how we think we should look in photos in order for them to be good. Few of us actually look like that version of ourselves. And it’s an ever-changing thing. There have been times when I’ve hated the way I looked in photos, and looked back years later thinking I looked amazing. Like, what world was I living in? I love that woman.” - Wendy Yalom

“Am I doing this right? Should I be doing this? Are my hands in the right position? Is my smile too big? Is it not big enough? We all have a story we tell ourselves that gets in the way of us having photos we love.” - Wendy Yalom

“When it comes to location and clothing, it needs to have you feeling psyched about life. However you’re feeling in this space, however you’re feeling in your outfit, is going to get translated.” - Wendy Yalom

“Be bold, and be you. If being you means Chanel bags and Louboutins in Paris, great. If being you means a great pair of jeans and a t-shirt on your couch with your cat, great. Whichever it is, do it fully.” - Wendy Yalom

I’ve always believed that the greatest pain can lead to the greatest growth—if only we allow ourselves to move through the process of healing, make space for rituals that ground us, and listen to the inner voice that’s always looking out for us in times of need.

There’s a commonly shared, pinned and quoted phrase that says: 99% of the things you worry about don’t happen. And yet, there are times in life when your worst worries—the ones you couldn’t even bring yourself to imagine, let alone plan for—do come true, and we’re left scrambling to pick up the pieces.

Whether it’s a devastating diagnosis or the loss of a loved one, these traumatic events uproot our foundations and irreversibly alter the course of our life. We can never change what has transpired, turn back time, or replace what’s been taken away from us. But no matter how colossal the loss may be, we can choose to let go and move forward—allowing the rest of our life to unfold.

While every grief journey is as unique as the individual walking it, there’s a certain solace and comfort to be found in knowing that we are never alone in our suffering. There is always somebody out there going through a similar experience who is willing to listen to our story, understand our pain, and share valuable lessons from their own journey. That’s why I’m so honored to share this episode with you today—and oh boy, it’s a powerful one.

My guest Kelsey Chittick is an author, comedian and speaker. At the age of 40, she was forced to face one of life’s greatest fears when the love of her life passed away suddenly of a heart attack. Kelsey’s late husband Nate was a longtime NFL player, Super Bowl champion, father of two, and a well-loved figure in his local community. His death touched many lives, but none as much as Kelsey and her two beautiful children. Together, they embarked on an incredibly inspiring journey of hope, healing, and, as Kelsey describes it, finding magic in the missing. In her experience, learning to let go was the catalyst she needed to start living the second half of her life with greater peace, grace, and gratitude.

I was incredibly moved by Kelsey’s story, and I know that her words will resonate deeply with any of you who have experienced a similar loss. By the time you’re listening, Kelsey’s memoir, Second Half, will have hit the shelves—and I strongly encourage you to pick up a copy and gather more of her insights on life, love, and loss. I, for one, cannot wait to see how the second half of her life unfolds.

In This Episode:

Kelsey opens up about the loss of her beloved husband Nate
Trusting the inner voice of your intuition
What it felt like to navigate both her own grief and that of her children
Lessons Kelsey’s kids taught her about letting go of control, and learning to listen rather than offering up solutions
How meditation and plant therapy became her lifeline
Life-changing perspective shifts she experienced along her grief journey
Spotting the early signs of CTE resulting from repeated brain trauma
What the second half of Kelsey’s life holds

Quotes:

“Football players always say: ‘don't worry about what happens at halftime. We've got the second half.’ And so, early on, I was like, I gotta crush the second half because if not, I'm just going to end up devastated.” - Kelsey Chittick

“I meditate probably an hour a day, which I know people are like, ‘how can you do it with kids?’ Well, it's the same way you can do anything. It just has to be something you can't live without.” - Kelsey Chittick

“Meditation has changed the way I walk through the world.” - Kelsey Chittick

“The more busy we are, the more we have to sit and slow down, because then we can tap into this moment and we can make decisions in the now, as opposed to something that happened in the past, or something we're afraid of, or something we're dreading.” - Kelsey Chittick

“I'm done being afraid. I'm done. I just don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to think about what could happen. I don't want to be spending my days hedging my bets. People always say that 99% of the things you worry about don't happen. All of mine did.” - Kelsey Chittick

“I'm here to tell you that you'll be okay if somebody dies. It won’t be fun, it’s not enjoyable, and it’s hell on earth—but you will be okay because death isn't the end.” - Kelsey Chittick

“I was so sad. He was dead. I felt bad for him. This man who loved life and loved our kids and loved everything about life—he died. And I was obsessed with the fact that he didn't get to do what he wanted to do. Over time, through a lot of therapy, I realized: that dude's right where he needs to be. And little by little, I realized the greatest gift I could give him if I really was trying to help him, was to let it go.” - Kelsey Chittick

“We can tell what we're putting out into the world based on how the words make us feel.” - Kelsey Chittick

“There are ways to get through hard times. It does get better. Everything changes. And if someone dies, you don't have to lose them. You can re-engage with them in a different way.” - Kelsey Chittick

Second Half: Surviving Loss and Finding Magic in the Missing

View Details

What does it look like to fully say yes to your life? We all hold different definitions of success, but happiness is one common denominator for the way we measure fulfillment. But what does it look like to be truly happy? Do we have to move beyond the traumas and tragedies of our past, or wait until the positives outweigh the negatives—or is it as simple as deciding to love and accept the present iteration of ourselves, and choosing happiness from here on out?

These may be big, lofty questions, but it’s vital that we consider them as we embark on the process of creating a life that’s better than our dreams. Today on the I Heart My Life Show, I’m joined by Dr. James Rouse, naturopathic doctor, entrepreneur, activist, leader, and athlete. From Fortune 50 boardrooms to broadcast media, Dr. James has served and inspired seasoned billionaires, world-class athletes, and budding entrepreneurs—helping them to cultivate a culture of high-performance, and realize their full potential. If there’s anyone who knows the answer to any question around happiness, it’s him.

Dr. James has been such a bright light in my life for many years now. Believe it or not, he was actually the first-ever guest here on IHML all the way back in 2018! It feels like such a full-circle moment to have him back here today following the rebrand and reinvention of my companies. I can honestly say that Dr. James opened my eyes to the importance of falling in love with myself and with my life on a whole new level—and I know that listening to this episode will support many of you in doing the same.

Today, I’m getting Dr. James to spill all of his secrets around joy, happiness, healing past trauma, and how he manages to maintain his contagious positivity and radiate love and compassion wherever he goes. I was especially inspired by his insight that we are all born to be vessels of hope. I’ve always believed that every single person in this world has the capacity to make a positive impact on the lives of others—but I’ve never heard this idea described in relation to hope. According to Dr. James, by being a beacon of hope and allowing ourselves to radiate radical love and acceptance, we can increase our sphere of influence and make our message magnetic.

Be sure to stick around until the end to hear about Dr. James’ “museum of hope” morning practice. It might be the most intensive morning ritual I’ve ever encountered—and he hasn’t missed a day in over 30 years! I’m almost fully convinced that he is superhuman, and after listening to this episode, you will be too!

In This Episode:

Learning to find joy and happiness in the highs, lows, and contrasts of life
Opening up to happiness after experiencing pain, trauma, and tragedy
Questions you can ask yourself to begin your healing process
Dr. James shares how he shows up with love and acceptance for everybody
How to radiate peace, grace, and hope that people can’t help but gravitate towards
The difference between willpower and willingness to show up for yourself
How hope can become your marketing superpower
Dr. James’ high-intensity morning ritual (which he hasn’t missed in over 30 years!)
What it means to hold yourself hostage to your history, and why it’s better to choose to love each new iteration of yourself instead
What it looks like to fully say yes to your life

Quotes:

“Right now, the world is so much more comfortable with looking away and creating separation. I believe the Universe, God, the light, the highest power is saying, ‘how dare you do something that's so easy. I have given you everything that you need to know to be daring enough to love everyone.’ Can you imagine if we did that instead? Does that mean we have to agree? Does that mean you have to align on values? It means nothing about that. Love doesn't do that. That's what our intellect does. “ - Dr. James Rouse

“Growth doesn’t happen in hate. Growth doesn’t happen in separation. Growth happens with integration. Growth happens when we're opening our heart, and exposing those deep and vulnerable spaces of ourselves.” - Dr. James Rouse

“The highest job description of every human being today is to understand that our locus of control is the center of love. And if we only put our focus there, our business will flourish. Our relationships will flourish. Our ability to have peace and grace in our life will flourish in such a way that you really look like you're the person that people go: ‘I don't know what she's doing. I don't know what she, how she does it. All I know is I want to be around that field of energy.’ So you're not doing any selling. You're not doing any marketing. All you're doing is being.” - Dr. James Rouse

“Willingness is such a different level of energy compared to willpower. Willingness is when you let your soul speak for you, when you let your heart dictate what it is that you say yes to.” - Dr. James Rouse

“Entrepreneurs by definition are risk-takers. That's what we do, but we don't always do it with a level of absoluteness. We say to ourselves, ‘What if I do it this time, because the money is good. What if I do it this one time, because it's a great opportunity, even though I'm not totally connected to it at the soul level. Well, you know what? That is an insidious decline of integrity just waiting to happen.” - Dr. James Rouse

“Distinction doesn't come easily—it comes naturally. But we have to get in alignment with the natural laws of the Universe.” - Dr. James Rouse

“We all want to have joy. We want to have success. We want to have peace. We want to have great relationships. But are we willing to do the deepest work of our lives before anyone lays eyes on us?” - Dr. James Rouse

Have you been considering a business or career pivot lately, or thinking about quitting your current role and starting a new chapter? Maybe you’re busy weighing up your options because the path you’re currently walking no longer feels fully aligned with your long-term vision? Are you secretly afraid of what will happen when you admit to changing your mind?

So many of us harbor hidden fears, doubts, and insecurities around changing directions in life. Not only do we worry about the practical fallout of our decisions (will we jeopardize our income or lose time figuring out what comes next?) but we also project how other people might respond to our sudden change of heart. It’s perfectly natural to crave validation and acceptance, not just from our loved ones, but from our wider communities. But putting your dreams on hold in order to avoid judgment is not what we’re about here at I Heart My Life.

I’ll be the first to admit that prior to pivoting the IHML brand, I had so many preconceived ideas of what people would think. I worried about the reaction I would get from my team, my clients, and our wider community. I was also anxious that after all this work and effort, my vision wouldn’t work out—and I would find myself going back to the drawing board in a very public way. But at this stage, being in alignment with my vision was a non-negotiable—so instead of dwelling on my fears, I decided to follow my heart, step into the spotlight, and do it anyway.

Lovely, I’m so glad I did. I truly couldn’t have anticipated the outpouring of love I’ve received from our community these past few weeks as I’ve shared the story behind our rebrand. It goes to show that by being vulnerable and letting people into our world, we can unlock a whole new level of connection. I’ve always believed that we learn and grow by listening to other people’s stories—and I couldn’t be more grateful that my story interested and inspired so many of you to pursue your own prosperous pivots.

In this episode, I’m giving you an insight into all of the lessons I’ve learned over the last few weeks as we have unveiled our rebrand and launched the Emily Williams brand. If you haven’t yet listened to our two-part Rebrand Reveal series here on the podcast, I highly recommend that you check those episodes out first (Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here), so that you can get an insider look at the highs and lows (and there were plenty!) of my most transformational year in business to date—which led to my decision to reposition and revitalize IHML in the first place.

I hope it gives you the permission slip you need to listen to your heart, face your fears, and share your story openly and vulnerably—because you never know how many lives you could positively impact in doing so. And if things don’t feel aligned for you right now, don’t be afraid to make a change, Lovely. Everything you want is available for you. You just have to have that leap of faith and be brave.

In This Episode:

The importance of giving yourself credit and celebrating your wins
Some incredible feedback we’ve received from the IHML community
The fears I had to face in order to be open and vulnerable in sharing my story
The value of vulnerability as a coach or an expert
What happens when we go against our gut instincts
The money mindset process that helped me to prosperously pivot (rather than risking bankruptcy)
Why it’s so important to love and believe in what you’re selling
How you can let people into your world on a deeper level right now
How to use storytelling as a marketing tool to create deeper and more authentic connections with your community
Why you shouldn’t worry about attracting everybody in business, and get in alignment instead
Your permission slip to share what’s on your heart, and pivot in the direction of your dreams

Quotes:

“Check in with yourself and ask: is there anything that you need to give yourself credit for today? Is there anything that you've done, or a way in which you've shown up, that is really impactful and is something to be commended? We can't wait until other people celebrate us. We have to give celebration to ourselves and give ourselves a pat on the back.” - Emily Williams

“If you are somebody who has an audience or you want to have an impact in the world, I want to give you a permission slip to be vulnerable and to be real with your community. People are so grateful when you share real life, not just the highlight reel.” - Emily Williams

“So often we hang on to things that are no longer aligned. I'm definitely somebody who wants to be there to finish something. I want to be there at the finish line. I want to make sure that I'm true to my word. I want to follow through. I don't want to just start a bunch of things and not actually complete them. But sometimes, it's actually braver to pivot, or to cancel something, or to not move forward with something.” - Emily Williams

“We really have to ask ourselves on a regular basis: am I operating from a place of desire, am I operating from a place of alignment, or am I just staying the course because I feel like I should?” - Emily Williams

“You're going to be able to sell so much better if you are actually in alignment with what it is that you're putting out there, because sales is just an expression of belief. So you have to believe in what it is that you were putting out into the world.” - Emily Williams

“I believe there's always enough money. I believe there's always an opportunity. There's always an answer. There's always a solution to every single problem. We just need to look for it. And if our eyes are focused on lack, that's what we're going to see. If we're focused on abundance, that's what we're going to see.” - Emily Williams

“If this is the permission slip you need to do things differently and to get into alignment, please do so. Don't be afraid. Everything you want is available for you. You just have to have that leap of faith and be brave.” - Emily Williams

For some, hitting rock bottom marks the end of their dreams. For others, it is the springboard they need to mark a new beginning.

We all face obstacles and setbacks in life. Some of them are easily shaken, while others shake us straight to our core. But even when all seems lost, we have a choice to make: either own up to our mistakes and learn the lessons life has in store for us, or ignore all the signs, refuse to evolve, and wade deeper into trouble until we reach rock bottom.

Today’s guest on The I Heart My Life Show, Daniel Mangena, is one of those rare people who always manages to bounce back stronger and more aligned with their mission than ever before. He is a coach, speaker, best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and all-round problem-solver who uses both his life experience and his signature Beyond Intention Paradigm to help others live an abundant, joyful, and purpose-driven life.

Growing up, Dan knew with absolute certainty that he would become a millionaire. His unshakeable self-belief led him to making his first million dollars when he was just 19 years old—but his first business ended up crumbling just as quickly as it was built. He shook it off and pressed on, but when the same thing happened again for the second time, he knew it was time to pause and reflect. There’s no denying it was a painful process. But rather than knocking him down, hitting rock bottom ended up being exactly the wake-up call he needed to transform his life—and what led him to help thousands of other people do the same.

Having recently gone through my own process of realignment with my life and my vision, I know firsthand how debilitating those low points can feel. But just like Dan, I know that when we listen to what the Universe is telling us, and decide to persevere despite all the setbacks in our way, the difficult moments end up serving not only our personal growth, but also our communities.

I have so much respect and admiration for the way Dan held his head high in the face of tremendous setbacks, and how openly and vulnerably he speaks about his experiences with depression and suicidal thoughts in this episode. I was deeply moved hearing his backstory, and I know that it will inspire you to believe in yourself unconditionally, forget what others think or say and focus on paving your own path, and push past even the most fatal-seeming obstacles in your way.

TW: This episode contains conversations about depression and suicide.

In This Episode:

Dan shares the story behind his success, from rock bottom to self-made millionaire
Lessons he learned by building and losing a million-dollar business
Why you need both limitless self-belief AND practical knowledge and experience to run a successful business
What Dan wishes he knew before he started his first business
Dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts as an entrepreneur
How he bounced back from rock bottom after losing his second business
The steps he took to rebuild both his life and his business
Why growing and utilizing your network matters
How to stop caring what others think and say, and focus on living your best life
Why abundance is really our birthright

Quotes:

“A lot of what I practice and share with people is life experiences. I didn't pull any of it out of my hat. I didn't become a thought leader because I wanted to make more money or be famous. I was pulled to doing this because the universe showed me that one of the reasons why I'd gone through this steep learning curve was so that other people don't have to.” - Dan Mangena

“I just woke up and realized that I actually love life. I still get the onset of depression wanting to be a part of my life. I still get imposter syndrome. I still ask myself sometimes, is this all nonsense? Am I making it all up? But the cool thing is, no, it’s not. Here's the evidence. Look at what you've achieved. Look at the change that you make in people's lives. And that just reinforces me staying on track. So there was no magic moment. It kind of just folded into becoming what I do now with confidence.” - Dan Mangena

“People are running away from their own problems or, having given up on their own dreams, are wanting to keep you paying small because they didn’t play big. Are you going to let that hold you back from living your best life?” - Dan Mangena

“When nature is left to its own devices, it's always abundant. Everything moves in harmony and takes care of everything else. And it has everything that it needs. When we step into true flow, when we're living out our purpose, when we are adding, instead of trying to take away, we enter into that harmony. All of our needs are always taken care of, opportunities and resources come, and that connection shows up. Everything always clicks into place. As long as we are open to being in alignment with the flow of that naturally occurring abundance, it is ours for the taking.” - Dan Mangena

Would I have to let go of my team? Shut down our courses and programs? Wave goodbye to some of our revenue streams while I figured out what would come next?

These were just a handful of the decisions I faced after I realized that I Heart My Life (as it was) was no longer aligned with the mission and vision I’d originally set out to follow, and that the only options on the table were to pivot or to remain unfulfilled in my business.

All I knew was that the company I’d been building for eight years wasn’t working the way I wanted it to; that I was sick and tired of it not working, and that I couldn’t settle for anything that didn’t light me up for a moment longer. And although I had no idea what the solution would look like, I knew that if I just kept following the breadcrumbs, and continued doing my mindset work, I’d reach the answers I was looking for.

As a seven-figure visionary who was steering the IHML ship, I definitely felt the weight of the responsibility on my shoulders to get this rebrand right. My team, clients, and community deserved answers—and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have my moments of fear, doubt, or uncertainty while I waited for clarity to come knocking on my door.

But I held the faith, and believed that clarity would come. And it did—at the most unexpected of times. As I always say to my clients, you’ve got to trust the process. Because clarity always comes—you just can't always predict when. So if you’re facing a pivot of your very own, or if your company no longer feels in alignment with your vision, know this: your clarity will come. Keep showing up, keep listening to your intuition, and keep holding faith that you’re moving in the right direction. I promise the path ahead will get clearer with every step.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 of our Rebrand Reveal Series, hit pause right now and go listen to Episode 228 first, so that you can get an insider look at the highs and lows (and there were plenty!) of my most transformational year in business to date—which led to my decision to reposition and revitalize the IHML brand in the first place.

In this second and final part, I’m sharing the story of my dream photoshoot at the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia, and how I decided to prosperously pivot my business and launch IHML’s sister company, the Emily Williams brand. If you’re a driven business owner or corporate executive looking to massively grow your income and tune into your deepest desires through money mindset work, I invite you to join me on this new chapter.

In This Episode:

How the Emily Williams brand came to be
The key differences between I Heart My Life and Emily Williams
The part intuition played in my rebrand journey
The story of my dream photoshoot at the Greenbrier Hotel
Making difficult decisions around my team and existing programs
What it means to prosperously pivot your business
How I go about any big business decision
Why clarity often comes at the most unexpected times
How to know whether or not an opportunity is in alignment with your vision
My BIG vision for the future of I Heart My Life and Emily Williams
How you can join me on this journey

Quotes:

“It was very clear that I had to move my fear to the side, go for it, and pivot the company in the direction I wanted it to go in instead of waiting for it to happen organically.” - Emily Williams

“Anyone who's made any shifts in business will know that it can be really scary to think about turning things off that are bringing in revenue. It can also be really scary to think about letting team members go if the only issue is that you don't have a space for them anymore. So the way I saw it, I had two options. I could continue promoting programs that were no longer aligned with the vision of the I Heart My Life brand, or I could go all in on the true vision of the brand.” - Emily Williams

“I was sick of being busy. I was really sick of doing thing after thing, banging my head against the wall, wondering why it wasn't working as well as I wanted it to work. And the reality was that it was because it wasn't an alignment and it wasn't supposed to work.” - Emily Williams

“One of the main things I teach our clients is that for every problem, there's an equal or greater solution—you just needed to figure it out. And I knew that I was going to figure it out. I knew that if I kept following the breadcrumbs, I would figure it out. I just had to trust the process. Clarity always comes. You just can't always predict when.” - Emily Williams

“I metaphorically drew lines in the sand, knowing that was the best thing I could do for my own clarity, as well as for my teams’. I had to show the Universe that I was serious and that I was all in. Think about that for you. Where are you at right now in terms of your decisions? Are you waffling back and forth? Is it unclear when you make a decision? What decisions do you need to make that will make it crystal clear around what it is that you actually want?” - Emily Williams

“Sometimes things change at the last minute. Sometimes clarity comes in at the final hour. And you have to learn to trust yourself enough to be like, you know what? This is so right, and I'm going to go with it, and I’m going to go all in.” - Emily Williams

“One of the amazing things about transformation (and also about being the observer of yourself) is that you start to be able to tell what's true for you.” - Emily Williams

“I gave myself permission to have my own moments of pivoting. I gave myself permission to do things a little bit differently. I gave myself permission to be true to myself.” - Emily Williams

Is your past holding you back from living the life you deserve and desire? Although you may not always be aware of it, your present circumstances (your routine, your reality, and the people, places, and things you choose to surround yourself with) are a direct reflection of the beliefs you hold to be true about yourself. And more often than not, these limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns go way back into your past—to the core wounds that have shaped your self-image.

Each one of us has experienced losses, traumas, and disappointments. And no matter what the source or scope of our trauma may be, we all seek coping strategies that suppress negative emotions in order to shield ourselves from pain. This is a natural and necessary self-defense mechanism—but also the root of all subconscious self-sabotage. We repeat patterns passed on by our primary caregivers until they become our default setting—and as time goes on, it becomes increasingly difficult to identify the root of our suffering.

If you’ve ever felt that you are not worthy or deserving of success, or suspected that you may be standing in the way of your own happiness (be it in relationships, career, or money matters), you may be resisting the deep work required to break free of your pain, heal your wounds, and move forward into a new chapter of your life. And the more you resist, the more power your fears will have over you (and the more they will manifest in your day-to-day life).

While conventional therapy is a highly effective method of identifying and moving past your vulnerabilities, there’s no denying that rehashing your past can be a time-consuming and disempowering process. That’s precisely why today’s podcast guest Lisa Tahir turned to alternative approaches to healing—using astrology as a lens through which we can understand and overcome our core wounds.

Lisa is an Intuitive Psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She has been doing the work of healing for more than 20 years, and recently released her debut self-healing book, ‘The Chiron Effect’, where she fuses psychology, astrology, and spirituality to help people create meaningful change in their lives.

While I’ve explored my own core wounds in the past, I’ve never seen this topic approached from an astrological angle. Lisa’s work is so needed in the world, and I have no doubt that you’re going to be as magnetized and inspired listening to this interview as I was when we recorded it. Be sure to listen to the end to find out whether or not our core wounds can ever truly be healed—and how to start the process.

In This Episode:

Lisa’s story, from therapy to therapist
The spectrum of vulnerability and core wounding
What happens when we don’t address our core wounds and leave them to fester
The links between psychotherapy, astrology, and spiritual transformation
Explaining the Chiron Effect
How to understand your wounding, self-heal, and see change
What’s REALLY keeping you from living the life you desire?
Can we ever fully cure our core wounds?
The connection between physical, mental, and spiritual healing
How your body and heart space lets you know you’re on the right path

Quotes:

“You can heal your vulnerabilities and your wounds, and actually be happier sooner rather than later.” — Lisa Tahir

“There are aspects of our lives that we feel we have to hide or edit from others. When talking about ourselves, we tend to leave out where we feel less than, and that continues up the spectrum to the range of core wounding, which has to do with some of the bigger traumas in life, like abandonment, neglect, and abuse.” - Lisa Tahir

“The relationship we have with ourselves sets the tone and dictates the relationships we have with everyone else, and with everything else in our lives.” - Lisa Tahir

“When something goes unaddressed, it tends to fester. Even something that might've been seemingly small can get bigger and become more problematic. We see this in our physical health and it's mirrored in our emotional health—losses and such that we push away or don't want to deal with, can surprise us and come up in self-sabotaging ways, and cause us to be perceived in ways that we don't want to or intend to.” - Lisa Tahir

“What you do for a living, who you hang out with, whether you go to the gym or not—all these are based upon what we believe to be true for ourselves and about ourselves. And you can only go as far or as high as your most limiting belief.” - Lisa Tahir

“I invite you as a first step to try to suspend your judgments and criticisms of yourself. We harbor layer upon layer of judgment towards ourselves, thinking that's how we change things and that's how we get better—but it's really not. It just causes us to feel shame about ourselves. Sometimes we might feel guilty over a behavior, something we said or did. And it's okay to feel like maybe you could have done better there, but you don't need to shame or blame yourself. Life will give you another opportunity. So suspend your judgment and try to be a supportive coach.” - Lisa Tahir

Ever wondered what would happen if you woke up one morning and realized the seven-figure business you’d been building for years doesn’t fulfil you anymore? Or worse, if you looked around and didn’t even recognize the business you’d built, because it feels so far from the mission and vision you’d originally set out to follow? And what if you realized that after years of helping others love their lives, you no longer enjoy your own?

These are the kinds of questions that keep entrepreneurs up at night—and the questions we all hope we’ll never have to answer. But this year, I found myself facing each of those fears head-on, and finding out the answers—the hard way. There were times I thought I’d have to let go of my team and my clients, shut the whole thing down, and start from scratch. (Spoiler alert: I didn’t do any of those things. But I DID go through all the trials and tribulations of following your heart—which led to greater alignment than I ever thought possible.)

Things are about to get VERY real and vulnerable here at the I Heart My Life Show. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous to share this episode with you! Over the last 8 months, my team and I have been very busy rebranding, rebuilding, and revitalizing both the IHML and Emily Williams brands. And while I’m so excited to reveal all that we’ve been creating and innovating, it’s just as important to me that I show you what’s been going on behind the scenes—because the process hasn’t been as easy or graceful as you might expect.

If you’ve been following my journey for a while, you’ll know that I’ve never been one to share only the highlight reel. After all, I Heart My Life is about all of life, not just the best bits! That’s why in Part 1 of our Rebrand Reveal series, I’m baring it all. Not only the highs, but also the lowest of lows. Not just what worked, but also what didn’t. Not only the end result of our rebrand, but all the difficult decisions I had to make along the way—as well as my dreams and desires for the future.

If you’re facing uncertainty in your own life and business (or even thinking about throwing in the towel), I hope this episode serves as a reminder that reaching rock bottom in your life can lead you to the clarity (and transformation) you’re craving.

Make sure to come back next week to hear part 2… because this journey is just beginning.

In This Episode:

The moment I realized I was building the wrong business
Feeling stuck and stagnant in life and in my business
Why traditional ‘niche down’ advice didn’t work for me
My initial vision for I Heart My Life back in 2014
How I knew for sure IHML needed to pivot
Cancelling my Mastermind days before launch
Why I started crying in the middle of a meeting
What happens when money doesn’t matter much anymore
What I realized when I faced my fear of failure head-on
How trusting my intuition helped me figure out the “how”

Quotes:

“I got to the point where I didn’t even care about the money. I remember thinking: ‘if the vision isn’t coming to life, if the brand is not in alignment with what I want and what I intended it to be, then why in the world are we doing this? I built the company out of my own pain of being in a quarter-life crisis for five years, not knowing what lit me up, feeling lost, not having a passion or purpose, not feeling grounded or rooted in my decisions, allowing fear and doubt to run the show. And I found myself in a similar place in that ski chalet in Vail, seven years later—and I knew something had to change.” — Emily Williams

“I realized that I helped women love their lives—and I deserved to have the same experience. But because I wasn't in alignment with what I always envisioned this company to be, that was challenging for me. I felt like I was constantly waiting.” — Emily Williams

“Are you making decisions based on where you want to be, or where you currently are?” — Emily Williams

"Clarity comes from engagement, not thought. Take action now, you'll find your truth." — Marie Forleo (paraphrased)

“When you get to the place where you're no longer afraid—when you're in full trust and your desire takes over—you are unstoppable.” — Emily Williams

Many of us dream of working 30 hour weeks—but what if you could work 30 hour MONTHS while traveling the world with your family and bringing in multiple 7 figures in revenue every year? Today’s guest Lisa Johnson has figured out the formula to do just that—and it’s all thanks to building her business on a passive income model.

As you know, I’ve always been passionate about helping women like you to create a life of financial abundance. But I’ve never believed in settling for business success alone—because what’s the point of making millions when you’re working around the clock, staring at the same four office walls, and never even seeing your kids? Unless you build your business in a way that supports your life (NOT the other way around), you’ll never be fully satisfied. And I won’t let you settle for anything less than you deserve and desire, lovely!

The beauty of this new age of business is that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. You can move right past the realm of what’s ‘realistic’ and make your own rules—and all you have to do is decide that it’s possible for you. So if you believe that you’re capable of making 6 or 7 figures in revenue without overwhelm or overwork, and without trading every single hour of your time for money, then you already have all it takes to make passive income work for you.

I was absolutely thrilled to sit down with Lisa Johnson for this week’s episode of the I Heart My Life Show. Lisa is an expert strategist helping women worldwide to create passive and semi-passive income streams, and build a one-to-many business model that affords them more time, more freedom, and more money. She has built not one, but multiple 6 and 7 figure businesses, trying out different industries and business models for size until she finally found the one that fits her life best. And it brings in $5 million a year!

In this interview, Lisa pulls back the curtain on her success, speaking candidly about the struggles of being a single mother in the corporate world, and the lengthy trial-and-error involved in launching and scaling her companies. It’s been a long time since I’ve been so inspired by a guest’s story, and I know you will be, too!

Be sure to listen right to the end to find out Lisa’s top tell-tale signs that your audience is primed and ready for your passive income product.

In This Episode:

Lisa’s story, from being bullied in school to bringing in millions in passive income
Why you should plan your life before you plan your business
A walkthrough of passive and semi-passive products Lisa has launched
The part money mindset plays in reaching the million-dollar mark
Why mindset matters more than strategy when it comes to passive income
How to know you (and your audience) are ready for a passive income product
Why you should focus on growing your audience first
Debunking myths around passive income - does it really exist?

Quotes:

“Strategies are so important, but they don’t do anything unless you believe that it’s possible for you.” - Emily Williams

“To be the 5% of people that do actually make a success in business, we have to do what 95% of people won’t do.” - Lisa Johnson

“I can teach people how to make passive income in about 10 hours. If they just do everything I say, they'll make passive income. But over 50% will never make passive income. And it isn't because of the strategy—it's because they don't believe they can.” - Lisa Johnson

“Passive income exists, but I don’t think it’s passive. The reality is, the first time you make passive income, you're building an audience, you're learning how to launch, you're writing your content. The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth time you put it out there is when it becomes passive. That's when it's great. But let's not pretend that we go to sleep and money somehow rains down on us from the sky, because that doesn't happen.” - Lisa Johnson

Picture this—the opportunity of your life shows up right on your doorstep. I’m talking about the chance to transform your life, uplevel your business, and literally start living out your wildest dreams. It’s here, and it’s yours for the taking. How do you respond?

Is your knee-jerk reaction be a full-body-and-soul YES, or do you tell it to come back later while you mull over the logistics? Do you jump in and follow your deepest desires, or do you hold back because you’ve got other plans, or you don’t feel like traveling, or because you’d have to sort out a babysitter to make it work? Maybe you even question the timing, or wonder whether you’re worthy of receiving it in the first place.

This scenario may seem too good to be true, but in reality, I see it play out every single day. The women in my community have unlimited potential to transform their lives and create a reality that’s better than their dreams—but all too often, they are actively blocking their own path. And you know what? They’re too close to even see it.

If you feel like you’re not moving forward with your dreams right now, it’s not because there are no opportunities in the wings, just waiting for you to seize them. Trust me, there are plenty. But every time they present themselves, you’ve got all your excuses ready to go.

Now, I’m not saying you have to say yes to every single thing that comes your way, but you DO owe it to yourself to tune into your desires and decide whether an opportunity is the right fit for you—rather than dismissing it right off the bat. That one small shift has made a massive difference in my own life, and I promise it will do the same for you.

In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about approaching and accepting soul-aligned opportunities, and navigating the ones that aren’t a good fit. Once you apply these simple tips and techniques in your own life, you’ll cut out the excuses, get clear on what you want and what you don’t, and see a true transformation.

In This Episode:

Sharing the responses I got to a recent VIP Day opportunity
My exact decision-making process
Why saying yes to yourself should always come first
Making excuses means giving away your power
What we really mean when we blame time or money
How to say no to things that aren’t a soul-aligned fit…
...and yes to the ones that are

Quotes:

“If you really wanted to do that thing, you would find a way to make it happen. There wouldn’t be an excuse in the world that would keep you away from it. And that's how I view all the decisions that I make. If I want to do something, then I do it. I don’t make excuses.” - Emily Williams

“Be honest about what it is that you do and don't want, and be deliberate with your word choice. When we do that in everyday scenarios in our life, it becomes much easier to do it in the bigger instances. Practice it.” - Emily Williams

“If you feel the desire, that means you are energetically aligned with the thing. That means you are capable of achieving the thing. That means you are capable of bringing in the money. You are capable of carving out the time.” - Emily Williams

“Instead of dismissing something so quickly, tune in to whether it's the right fit for you. Allow that desire to guide you, because that's where the good stuff is. Your ego is going to tell you all the reasons why you can't, but you need to attach to all the reasons why you can. And when you do that, your life will transform.” - Emily Williams

What does your decision-making process look like? Do you lean all the way into your intuition, or structure your points with rock-solid data? Turns out, the most successful CEOs find a balance of both—or invest in advisors who make the right call for them.

Whether you’re still finding your feet in business or already scaling your way to 6 or 7 figures, strategic decision-making is a skill you’ve simply got to master. The sooner you do it, the easier it will be to steer your team in the right direction—and the quicker you’ll get to your next goal.

I may be as heart-centered as they come, but there’s no denying that things can slip through the cracks fast when you start losing sight of the facts. On the other hand, if you’re spending all of your time chasing numbers and comparing your biz to your competition, you could soon find yourself chairing up a business you don’t believe in. The sweet spot lies somewhere between thinking, feeling, learning, and executing—and today’s guest has a knack for helping top CEOs find it.

I’m so thrilled to be joined by business advisor and international speaker Mary Dee in today’s episode of the I Heart My Life Show. Mary has been helping CEOs and their executive suites make strategic decisions for over two decades, so if there’s anyone in the world who knows how to scale and grow a business from the ground up, it’s her! She’s a prime example of how tapping into your natural talents can translate to a purpose-filled life.

It was such a joy and privilege to be in Mary’s energy, and I know you will love listening to the lessons she shares in this episode. We talk about the top mistakes business owners make as they grow (both when they’re first starting out AND scaling past 7 figures), the key metrics you should be paying attention to from day one, and the value of mentorship at every single level of business.

You’ll also find out whether you are a coach or a team player type of CEO, and what that means about the people you should surround yourself with as you scale your business. Note-taking is highly advised!

In This Episode:

Mary shares how she went from working as a hostess at a California seafood restaurant hostess to giving strategic advice to CEOs
Why knowing what you’re naturally good at will help you live out your purpose
What her serial entrepreneur clients struggle with most as they scale
Finding the right balance between data-driven and intuitive thinking
The metrics that really speak volumes about a business
Top mistakes business owners make as they grow
Different types of CEO, and the people they need around them
The difference between intuitive and fear-based decisions
How Mary uses journaling as a decision-making practice
The importance of matching up with a mentor at every level of business
What really keeps businesses stuck at the 7 figure level
Why a positive attitude to failure will get you far

Quotes:

“Once you get to seven figures, you're going to need to look a little higher up and say, okay, if my goal is to scale past this number, who else has gone past this number that I know understands how things change, how things scale, how things grow, and what new problems might I end up running up against? We're outgrowing a first set of pants. We have to go get new pants.” - Mary Dee

“If there's anything I've learned, it's to keep trying something long enough. You're going to get good at it. And if you don't get good at it, you're going to get good at something.” - Mary Dee

“Even if a business finds you, it's important to understand what you are actually building. Are you building a lifestyle business or are you building a business that you're trying to take public and sell? Are you trying to serve a lot of people? Are you trying to serve just one person? There are so many details wrapped up in that.” - Mary Dee

“Find the person you resonate with, the person who has what you want. Latch onto that person, because they will really help shortcut some things for you. And you will not have as bumpy of a learning curve that a lot of people do when they don't ask for help. They kind of flounder around in secret, taking courses and trying to do some stuff in the background without ever leaning in. Instead, raise your hand, say I'm vulnerable and I'm coachable and I'm ready to show up. I believe the universe delivers when we do that.” - Mary Dee

Here’s a struggle all coaches know well. It’s one thing to coach your clients through their fears and self-doubts, and another thing entirely to coach yourself through them. So often, the very problems we help our clients solve are the blocks we experience on our own business journeys. That’s why coaches need coaches, too!

Sometimes, all it takes is ONE powerful question from someone who’s got no skin in the game to clear up the confusion, shift your entire perspective on a situation, and take the next steps necessary to move forward with confidence.

And that’s exactly what happens in today’s episode of The I Heart My Life Show. I sat down for a live coaching session with Gayle Damiano—a high-performance intuitive coach, a medium, and a self-defined “sober mom boss.” Through a mix of spiritual readings and coaching, Gayle helps her clients to tune into their intuition, speak to their highest self, and learn how to trust their inner voice.

Gayle has been in the business for years—she’s amazing at what she does, and she has the credentials, years of experience, and raving client testimonials to prove it. But lately, she’s been experiencing a crisis of confidence stemming from her deep-rooted desires to define herself, demonstrate competency in her field, and condense her many gifts into a signature coaching offer. She knows that it’s a transformative time, but going through the messy stages of growth has left her feeling stuck and stagnant.

It just goes to show that self-doubt, confusion, and overwhelm show up at every stage of business—not just at the beginning. Every time you get close to stepping into your full realm of possibility, you’re going to feel those fears creeping in. What matters is what you do next—whether you give in to the fear, or feel into it and come out the other end stronger and more driven than ever.

I know this conversation is going to serve so many of you who are struggling to streamline the way you show up, so I invite you to listen to the magic of coaching in action as Gayle unpacks what’s been holding her back, breaks through her mindset blocks, and finally gives herself permission to step into her full-fledged power.

In This Episode:

Gayle shares her difficulties in defining her coaching niche
Getting clear on what you want to be known for and how you want to help people
Taking stock of your unique set of gifts as a multi-passionate coach
Choosing the gifts that generate revenue
Dealing with doubt during a launch period
Giving yourself permission to go with the flow and show up regardless of numbers
Thoughts on valuing your time and doing things for free
Why you need to stop tiptoeing your way around marketing
Competency, credentials, and what it really means to show up as an expert
Confidence around growing your network and making new connections
Getting clear on Gayle’s next steps

Quotes:

“What I'm observing from you is there are a lot of balls up in the air and a lot of confusion around what you call yourself. And the reality is, when we're confused, other people are going to be confused as well. If you were to go all in, not worry about what people will think about the language or anything, what would you call yourself?” - Emily Williams

“This happens a lot of times with women where we just tiptoe around our marketing and we don't actually speak our truth. Think about the people who are the most in your face, who are obvious about what it is that they do. If I ever find myself not being specific or going into that place of tip-toeing, I ask myself, what would this person do? How would they talk about their product? How would they speak to the results if they're talking about their best case scenario?” - Emily Williams

“If you trusted yourself fully, what would you be doing differently right now? If you were guaranteed to be successful, what would you be selling? What would you be promoting? There’s been so much tiptoeing and hesitation, but people like confidence. They want to know that you are an expert. And so the more specific you can be, the better.” - Emily Williams

In love, as in business, you’ve got to be really mindful of who you attract into your world. And unless you take a step back to examine and shift the limiting beliefs you’ve formed around relationships over the years, you might just find yourself settling for less than you deserve (or worse, stuck in a perpetual cycle of bad dates and heartbreaks!).

As you know, I met my husband James online, so I’m a big believer in the power of dating apps. But it didn’t happen by accident. I’m always talking about the importance of mindset when it comes to manifesting your desires, and dating is no different. Do I think it’s possible to manifest your dream partner? YES. But you also have to be willing to do the deep work it takes to get there—and take brave, vulnerable action.

I may not be on the dating scene anymore, but I know many of you are—so in today’s episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I sat down with dating and relationship coach Melanie Hersch. If you’ve been dating for a while, swiping left and right hoping to make meaningful connections but getting ghosted instead, make sure you’re fully focused for this one.

Having started her career as a licensed marriage and family therapist, Melanie now helps hundreds of single women to rewire their subconscious limiting beliefs, stop sabotaging themselves in love, and prime themselves for the healthiest relationships possible.

In this episode, Melanie opens up about the limiting beliefs she had to shift in order to find fulfilment in her own love life, and sheds light on why so many women unknowingly attract unavailable partners and codependent relationships. We also talk about getting clear on what you’re REALLY seeking in a partner (6ft tall with a full head of hair, anyone?) and, in true I Heart My Life fashion, the importance of finding fulfilment in your life first.

Make sure you stay tuned to the end to hear Melanie’s top tips for optimizing your dating app profiles to attract your perfect match!

In this episode:

Melanie’s success story, from therapist to dating coach
The limiting beliefs holding you back in your love life
Practical tips and tricks to help you shift limiting beliefs
The reason why so many women attract unavailable partners
Why finding the perfect partner starts with finding fulfillment in your own life (and how that relates to attracting aligned clients, too!)
Questions to ask yourself to rewire your relationship mindset
Maintaining your new beliefs while you’re in a relationship
Dating apps: love ‘em or hate ‘em?
Get clear on your perfect partner preferences
Tips for your dating app profiles

Quotes:

“Those beliefs were completely getting in my way and causing me to pull back and act weird and not be authentic. We have to be authentic if we want to cultivate connection.” - Melanie Hersch

“When we don't feel good about ourselves, we accept crumbs, and we trust unavailable men. We just roll out the welcome mat for them. And they come walking right in.” - Melanie Hersch

“Work on your self-esteem. Clear the beliefs that are getting in your way and keeping you stuck and feeling small and fearful. Fulfill yourself first. And then from that place, get out there—not because you need a guy to be happy, not because you’re looking to get something necessarily, but because your cup is full and you’ve got energy to share.” - Melanie Hersch

“We all want organic love. We want to bump into them at the carwash and boom, there’s your person. But the reality is, we’re only meeting a limited amount of people. So I’m a huge fan of getting out there and online dating.” - Melanie Hersch

“You need to be open and take action, because it's not just going to be hand delivered to you on your doorstep.” - Emily Williams

“Online dating is like marketing, because you want to put off the people who aren't right, as well as attract the people who are. We only have so much time, and you want to spend your time on dates with potential amazing partners who want to know who you really are, and be able to connect.” - Emily Williams

“When we can surrender and really trust that what is showing up is serving us—not go into victim mode, but really try to look for the gifts—life just starts opening up. But as soon as we clench or go, this isn't the way I wanted it to be, we block ourselves from the life that wants to come to us. We just shut down. So the more open we can be, the more trusting we can be, the more connected we are with source energy and ourselves, the sooner our dreams and beyond our dreams comes forward.” - Melanie Hersch

If there’s one thing people always forget about the law of attraction, it’s action. It’s true, you DO have the power to change your reality by changing your thoughts. But it’s not enough to simply think your desires into existence—you’ve got to ACT on them, too. Yes, even when your desires feel further away than ever.

Easier said than done? Maybe, seeing as our actions are often based on the way we’re feeling—and our moods have a tendency to fluctuate (sometimes for no apparent reason).

So how can you train your brain to stay the course and keep your vibration high, even when nothing is working the way you’d hoped and all you want to do is throw in the towel? What can you do to dig yourself out of your pit of despair and desperation, and keep on chasing your purpose? How can you stop stacking up the problems, blaming everyone and everything around you, and defaulting to anxiety and overwhelm?

Well, lovely, that’s exactly what I’m talking about in this episode of the I Heart My Life Show. You see, I wasn’t always as in love with my life as I am today. And in fact, I still have the occasional crisis of confidence. A few weeks ago, my mindset was in the gutter. I was ready to cancel my yoga class and throw caution to the wind when it came to my next big business move.

Thankfully, my husband and Certified High Performance Coach James came to my rescue with an excellent question that now has a permanent place in my mindset toolbox. This is the one and only question you need to move from a mindset of lack to abundance. I’m sharing it with you in today’s episode, and trust me—this one simple shift will change EVERYTHING.

In This Episode:

What my first-ever coach told me about the law of attraction
Why it’s not enough to think your desires into existence
Energy and action go hand in hand
Why you’re defaulting to overwhelm
The one question you need to shift your mindset and raise your vibration
The real reason most people miss out on abundance
Why there’s no use in worrying—and what to do instead

Quotes:

“I want you to really understand that the law of attraction is more than just thinking about something and then creating it in your life. You actually have to take action. The law of cause and effect is at play there. When we think about something, when we have a goal or we have a desire or a mission, it's not enough just to think about it. We need to take some sort of action.” - Emily Williams

“In those times where it feels like nothing's working, or it feels like you can't do this, you might be more likely to make a decision that hurts everything that you're trying to accomplish.” - Emily Williams

“How would you be showing up in this moment if everything was working out as you wanted it to?” - Emily Williams

“Everyone needs to know that they have the ability to shift their mindset on a dime. And most people don't have that information. Most people believe that whatever they get in life, that's just what they're stuck with. And so they have to make the most of it. And most of the time we don't make the most of it.” - Emily Williams

“Everything is unfolding as it is meant to, and you can choose to be the best version of yourself at any given moment.” - Emily Williams

“Think about it: how many unanswered prayers have actually been blessings in disguise in your life? How many challenges have been disguised as opportunities for growth? They felt difficult at first, but they helped you grow.”- Emily Williams

Have you ever set out to accomplish something, only to find that upon completion of the goal that it doesn’t bring about the elation you thought it would? Ever had an idea in your head of the areas you need to achieve in order to be considered successful, only to find that when you attain these things for yourself, it doesn’t feel as good on the inside as it looks on the outside?

Goals and desires are two very different things, and oftentimes they don’t work in harmony together. Learning to discern the difference will help you live a more fulfilling existence, and could potentially save you from going down the wrong path. The key to success in any area, it seems, is to know yourself wholly, and honor your wants and needs in any experience.

In my opinion, there’s no one better to speak on this than MD and Coach Alexandra Stockwell, whose energy and enthusiasm for life should be an inspiration to us all. Today, she’s fully expressed and in her element, but it wasn’t always this way. As you’ll find out in this episode, upon achieving what she thought were her main goals in life, Alexandra found she felt that something was missing, and so she set out on a journey deep within herself to find what she truly desired. This led her to a change in career that not only impacted her professional life, but her personal relationship with her husband, too.

In this delicious episode, we discuss how to recognize when something is not aligned, how to listen to the whisper of your intuition, and how to decide what you desire and say no to everything that isn’t that. To living life at full volume!

In this episode…

The moment Alexandra knew she was unfulfilled
Why success looks different to everyone
How we can use others as a mirror
The difference between desires and goals
How to honor your desires
What happens when you start to trust your intuition
How inner knowing led Alexandra to her true passion
Alexandra’s work on sex, intimacy and relationships
Alexandra’s advice for living a life better than your dreams

Quotes:

“I consider that a matter of grace that I'm able to learn very deep lessons without a lot of drama around me. I took it in as though it was a very big event and I changed my life in response to that awareness.” - Alexandra Stockwell

“The first thing is awareness. And for me, awareness takes me very far. It doesn't lead to paralysis. And so once I had the awareness, courage wasn't that far behind, and the main thing that I knew at that moment was that I wanted to be and do things differently than I had. That was about the level of clarity I had, which can sound pretty small, but it was actually massive, and that's why I was systematic. And I dialed down my practice and went on a sabbatical because that was doing something new.” - Alexandra Stockwell

“And I guess the thing that I would add is that mammals learn through imitation and we are mammals. And I think one of the biggest challenges - that isn't true with becoming a great entrepreneur or a great basketball player or any of these other things - but when it comes to relationships, we have such a lack of role models. And so I'm really devoted being a role model.” - Alexandra Stockwell

“It's such a reminder to really tune in to the energetics and what's going on for you and, and to really, you know, trust that if something feels off, there's something there to explore and to just be open to.” - Emily Williams

“I talk about the little whispers as well, because there was no rational reason for me to move to another country. [...] It makes no sense when you think about it, but I just knew. And then obviously met my husband James a year later online. And, um, it's so powerful and we have this internal GPS and yet, so many of us are not listening. We're not paying attention or we're ignoring and pushing it away.” - Emily Williams

When it comes to strategy, there is no one-size fits all approach. What works for someone else, might not necessarily work for you, given your different dreams, desires, wants and needs. Nowhere is this more true than in the space of sales.

Sure, there are tactics that are on trend, tried and tested and seem to produce great results. But if they are not in alignment with your core values and goals, you are unlikely to see the same success with them - and if you do, it won’t be sustainable. The good news is that you can construct a sales strategy that honors your vision for your business, and in this episode, I’m sharing exactly how to go about doing that.

The process involves a meeting of spirituality and science, and we’ll be making use of tools to help you access your intuitive knowledge. Whether you’re into woo or not, I believe that following your inner compass is key to creating a business that works for you. When you’re in alignment, you’re happier, things run more smoothly, and you are far more likely to achieve what you set out to.

Conversely, strategy needs to be straightforward, so I’m also revealing the 3 components of sales you need to consider to strategise step-by-step. Plus I’m unpacking why you should get comfortable talking about money (and how to do it). Spoiler: It’s actually beneficial to both you and your prospective client. I’m covering the common limiting beliefs that are likely blocking you from accessing abundance, and teaching you how to prepare pre-sale. Are you ready to dial in your 7-figure sales strategy? Then let’s get to it.

In this episode…

How to access your intuition
A visualisation exercise help you tap into alignment
Introduction to The C.A.S.H Method
The 3 Components of Sales
Limiting beliefs and money blocks
How to get pre-sell ready
Why what works for them, might not work for you
How to price your offer

Quotes:

“Maybe the industry you're in is operating in a certain way, but that doesn't actually feel aligned to you. Okay? So I want you to get really clear on what it is that you actually want because that’s when you follow that, that's what's actually gonna make you successful. Not necessarily what somebody else is telling you to do.” - Emily Williams

“In the beginning, when you're building your business, most of the time you are pulling from other people for inspiration, but for those of you who are here and you already have an established business, now it's time to really sprinkle more of yourself into it and get clear on what really lights you up because that's, what's going to take you the distance.” - Emily Williams

“The people who are the most successful and the people who have seven and eight figure businesses, they're repeating strategies over and over and over. They are selling a certain product or program over and over and over. So they get those testimonials and people spread the word. If we just do one thing, and then we stop, you can imagine it won't have as much traction or impact.” - Emily Williams

“This is a question that comes up for a lot of people. People want to know, well, how do I price my offer? How do I figure out what people will actually pay? Now, I think about this in a different way. I think about what you want to charge for the offer first and foremost, because the truth is, if you're only thinking about your audience, then you're leaving yourself out of the equation and it's bound to cause you some problems. And what I mean by that is I have people who lower their price point because they think that's what their audience can afford to purchase. And then they end up resenting their community and their company, because it's not actually bringing in the amount of money that they desire.” - Emily Williams

“Most people have a fear of not being liked. If we go back to, um, if we even look at this from an evolutionary psychology perspective, millions of years ago, we had to, or not millions of thousands of years ago, we had to be liked. Otherwise we would not survive. We needed the protection of the tribe, but we no longer need that. And so it's not your job to make sure people are liked, it's your job to get them results, to get them the transformation, to support them in whatever the thing is that you are providing them with.” - Emily Williams

Sometimes you have high hopes, big dreams… and no idea where to start. We’ve all been there. For some of us, we have a deep rooted fear of failure that keeps us stuck in procrastination mode. For others, it’s fear of success that prevents us from moving forward. We worry what people will think if we actually achieve what it is we set out to, and how other areas of our lives will be impacted - for better or for worse.

Much of the time, we’re simply so passionate about what it is we’re working towards that we can’t seem to see the steps we need to take to get there. In this instance, sometimes all we need is a good conversation with someone who’s not in the thick of it and can help us break it down into bite size chunks so we can start taking action.

If you relate to any (or all!) of the above, then you are going to love this podcast episode, which is a real life coaching call with Jada Hartfield. She’s a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army who is currently working on answering her calling of my passion of helping and inspiring other women who want to go into the military.

In this episode, I help her get clarity on her next steps so that she can turn her vision into a reality, and there are tons of takeaways to help you do the same. We talk mastering your message and your mission statement, why vulnerability is a superpower when it comes to connecting with clients, and how to get your partner on board as you pursue your purpose. It’s time to stop dreaming, and start doing.

In this episode…

Why how you do one thing is how you do everything

Fear or failure vs. fear of success

How to get your partner to see your vision

How to create a coaching container step-by-step

How to break projects into bite size pieces

How to nail your mission statement

The power of visualization

Why vulnerability is a superpower

Quotes:

“So people will feed off of our energy. And so you need to be strong in what you know is your desire and your purpose, and continue to have confidence in that.” - Emily Williams

“We just need to be putting the steps in place and taking that action. And what it takes is you coming back to the vision and why you're actually doing this, because I know you're very passionate about helping women and you have a unique perspective and life experience. That means you might be the only one who can help them. And right now you're kind of dragging your feet, worrying about this man who's probably going to get on board anyway.” - Emily Williams

“Really start to think about how you want to set up the website. Do you want to buy a template? Do you want it? Do you have photos? What about writing the copy so that you can get that in the works and then you clearly are already attracting people. So if you have a shell of a program, what is it going to take for you to start charging for that and putting it out there in a big way.” - Emily Williams

“So you just owning what you just said, that you're the girl that helps women get into the military, whether they're aspiring or they're already in and like, you know, period... it's just super direct. So I would really think about, you know, what is that bold statement? That one sentence statement. It could even be what I just said. And that's what you share every time you get on video or you do a post about yourself, we're repeating that one line so that people really will solidify that in their mind.” - Emily Williams

“That's what's going to attract people to you because you have such a heart for this work. So if you keep displaying that, you know, and expressing the vulnerability, that's one of your super powers because you care so much and you've paved the way, and you're doing it, and people will be so attracted.” - Emily Williams

Want to know the number one mistake people make when it comes to attracting leads? Placing more focus on quantity over quality. Truth be told, without ensuring that the leads you’re acquiring are fully in alignment with what your business does and who you want to serve, you are setting yourself up for failure… because it’s better to have a smaller amount of high quality leads than it is to have tons of poor quality ones.

So what do I mean by high quality leads, exactly? This refers to someone who is ready, able and willing to buy from you - someone who LOVES your product rather than just likes it. In other words, it’s your ideal client, because let’s face it, not all clients are created equally. And neither are all leads.

In this high-value episode, I’m sharing everything you need to know about attracting the best possible leads for your business. I’m diving deep into the most common traps that entrepreneurs fall into, how to tell if you’re ready to launch a one-to-many program, and exploring the importance of marketing. Plus, I’m revealing the one metric you need to start tracking right away!

This episode also features a cameo from Mallory Majcher, our Head of Marketing who’s here to share what’s working in our business. In the fast-moving digital space, lead generation is something that is constantly evolving, but this episode will ensure you’re up to scratch with the tools and techniques you need to build a list of top quality leads. And the sooner you start defining and refining what that looks like for you, the sooner you can start scaling. So let’s start now, shall we?

In this episode…

Low vs high quality leads and discerning the difference.
Why you need to fall in love with marketing.
3 common traps that entrepreneurs fall into when trying to scale.
The importance of speaking your clients language.
The single most important marketing metric to start tracking.
Mallory Majcher on what’s working with our marketing.
Why a low ticket offer might be better than a freebie.
How to tell if you’re ready to launch a one to many program.

Quotes:

“It's really imperative that you don't get stuck in this frame of mind. That marketing is not important. Now I know that a lot of people didn't start their business to become a marketer, but we have to fall in love with marketing, at least in the beginning, until we have somebody who can do it for us, because that's the thing that's going to allow you to actually do the thing that you want to do, whether that's coach or be a speaker or write a book, marketing is one of the vehicles to get you there.” - Emily Williams

“Now, the thing that trips most people up is that we actually think that all eyes are on us at all times. We think that people know everything that we're doing. We think that when we put an offer out there into the world, it's going to sell like hotcakes. And I hope that that's the case for you, but we need to really flex our marketing muscles and put ourselves out there on a consistent basis.” - Emily Williams

“I was in the program called B-School by Marie Forleo. And one of the things that she always said was a confused mind, always says no. So really think about your message when you're putting yourself out there as well. Is it clear what you do? Is it clear what it is that you are selling? If not, you might want to revisit that.” - Emily Williams

“I think most of us can agree, although we've slowed down a lot in our personal lives, through COVID, the online space is picking up and it's faster than ever. So we have to really take into consideration that the customer journey timeline is a lot shorter. [...] So we need to provide value upfront. We need to get them to invest a little, have a little skin in the game. “ - Mallory Majcher

“One of the things Emily always says is, you know, sales has to feel good. It has to feel in alignment with what you're doing, and that goes into lead generation strategy as well. It has to feel good. Otherwise you're going to be forced to show up in a way that's not authentic for you.” - Mallory Majcher

The universe rewards the brave. Sometimes, we’re not entirely sure where it is we're meant to end up, but we just have a niggling feeling that we’re destined for more. On the other hand, we might think we have it all worked out and a clear direction of where we’re going, only to find that it was just a stepping stone to somewhere even greater than we could have ever imagined.

That was certainly the case for my guest for this episode, Michelle Sorro, who, having secured her career in TV (something she had dreamt of since she was a little girl), found her date with destiny after being gifted a ticket to a Tony Robbins event.

Michelle is living proof that the Universe is rooting for us all and that if we leap, the net will appear. There will always be twists and turns along the way, but one thing she has learnt with hindsight is that there are always clues if you’re quiet enough to listen. That the destination is actually in the doing. The key is to follow what lights you up, and go forth with openness, courage and the willingness to surrender.

Join us in this inspirational episode, where she reveals all about her story, from chasing what she thought was her calling, to the moment divine intervention stepped in, right up to today where she helps other women fully express and hone their spiritual gifts so they can turn their passion into profits. Prepare to be moved as much as you are motivated - this episode is a must-listen for anyone who has that inner knowing and is ready to walk the path to purpose.

In this episode…

The story behind the success.

Recognizing divine intervention when it steps in.

Why passion doesn’t always equate to purpose.

Those that love you will always support you.

Taking chances opens doors.

Action breeds clarity. The Universe rewards the brave.

You have to show up, serve and sell to make an impact.

Michelle’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“People are like, you just seem to do anything. You just seem like you're so fearless. I'm like, I've always got fear running through me or anxiety running through me. The difference is that I don't let it stop me.” - Michelle Sorro

“I was blessed enough to generate my first six figures in like six months, with no ads, no emails... I didn't even know what the hell I was doing. I didn't have a website. [...] Anyone who's got a calling. If you listen to that nudge, I mean, you just might be surprised how much the universe is rooting for you and supporting you in the law of abundance.” - Michelle Sorro

“I was open, I was exhausted. I was willing, I surrendered fully and I dropped to my knees in just sheer exhaustion and open-heartedness. And I heard a divine intervention in the message of, ‘you're not going to be doing TV for the rest of your life’. That was a little girl dream of a five-year-old who desperately wanted to be significant and believe that she mattered.” - Michelle Sorro

“We see that in our community all the time. People don't want to be sleazy, but the reality is they're running a business, not a charity shop. And so they have to get comfortable with sales very quickly in order to keep that vision moving forward. And I really think, you know, especially as a coach, it's very hard to impact and help people unless they're actually in your program and in your world. And so I look at it as my duty to sell to people.” - Emily Williams

“I'm on a mission to empower millions, to be seen and heard. What I've really realized over the past few years, and especially as I get older and my friends get older, it's like they begin to shrink and they start to play small and they become more invisible or more introverted when they weren't that way maybe 10, 15 years ago. And so I want us to all be fully self-expressed.” - Michelle Sorro

Maybe you can relate…

Despite implementing all the right strategies and marketing tactics, you might not be seeing the results you want. Perhaps you’re doing all the right things, but feel like you’re in a rut. Your business might be successful, but something might not feel right. You want to live your best life and step into bigger and better things, but guilt seems to hold you back.

If any of those ring true for you, this is a must-listen episode.

Truthfully, so many people out there, including many clients who come to work with me, are settling in life. They’re not taking their happiness or business to the next level because they feel greedy or guilty. (Or both.) So many of us have been raised to be grateful for what we have instead of always wanting more. In this episode, I flip the script on that thought process and encourage you to live your best life as your truest self. To help me do that, I dive into Wallace D. Wattles’ concept, the Impression of Increase.

Join me as I dive into this concept, explaining that your desire is not only human nature but a sign of aspiration. It’s an indicator of drive. It’s the desire for abundance. The truth is, you can do all of the ‘right things’ in your life or business and still feel unfulfilled. This episode will help you uncover the roadblocks that are preventing you from showing up as your most authentic self and moving forward with your dreams.

Maybe you want more money or success. Maybe you desire an increase in your happiness or fulfillment. Maybe you’re seeking more autonomy or freedom in your career. Perhaps you want a new car or a bigger house. Whatever it is, this episode is meant to help you live in a way that creates space for that desire. I truly believe that you can be grateful while still desiring more. (They’re not mutually exclusive.) I hope this episode can help you not only understand that truth but live it as well.

Learn why wanting more isn’t an indicator of unhappiness. Instead, I teach you why how you show up in life and business is so important to your success and fulfillment. I talk about living in a way that displays the Impression of Increase and how to really step into that concept in various aspects of life. Between making certain mindset shifts and giving the Thought of Increase to others, this episode covers the basics that will have you on your way to living the life you are meant to live. This episode is perfect for anyone growing their business, selling a product or service, or simply wanting to live a life better than their dreams.

With this episode, not only will you learn about this life-changing concept, but I invite you to step into your desires. To embrace your aspirations. To fully step into (and live) your truest self. It’s what you deserve and what your audience needs. If you’re ready to live a life that lights you up, let’s dive in.

In this episode…

[03:42] What is the Impression of Increase?

[07:12] Wanting more doesn’t mean you’re unhappy.

[08:47] Living in a way that displays the Impression of Increase.

[13:43] Why how you show up really matters.

[15:25] The mindset shift to bring you closer to the Impression of Increase.

[17:50] Stepping into the Impression of Increase.

[22:04] Giving the thought of increase to others.

[26:35] Impression of Increase in sales.

Quotes:

“There are so many people out there who are settling. They're not lit up by their life, and they're not looking to go to the next level because they feel guilty or bad.” -Emily Williams

“Wanting more does not mean that you are unhappy where you're at. It's quite the opposite. I had to learn to be grateful for what I currently had in order to go to the next level. If you're not experiencing satisfaction or gratitude for the current present moment, then why would the universe ever give you more?” -Emily Williams

“I truly believe that you can be grateful and desire more at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive. So if for whatever reason, you're making yourself wrong for the things that you desire, please release that. I believe that our desires are dropped in. They are meant for us. Desire is literally just the urge for more life.” -Emily Williams

“Convey the impression of advancement with everything you do so that all people shall receive the impression that you are an advancing man and that you advance all who deal with you. Even to the people whom you meet in a social way without the thought of business to whom you do not try and sell anything, give the thought of increase.” - Wallace D. Wattles

“This is not about showing off, but it is about being a reminder of what's possible, especially if you were creating a personal brand or you're in the business of inspiration. That is really, really important.” -Emily Williams

Life is full of unexpected challenges. We are bound to face loss and grief. There are times when we’re preoccupied with the chase of finding happiness that we forget to be happy. We get caught up in trying to find the answer to life’s biggest and often unprecedented obstacles. The truth is, the answers lie within ourselves.

We all possess an innate knowing that can guide us through our darkest days and most troubling times. But, unfortunately, we don’t always acknowledge its presence. That’s why I’m so happy to invite you to listen to this truly inspiring and touching conversation.

Wayne Dyer and his spiritual teaching influenced me in so many ways as I embarked on my own journey of personal development. His teachings inspired me to share my passion for personal growth with others. Wayne passed away in 2015. However, I hope to keep his spirit and teachings alive with this episode, where I chat with two of his incredible daughters, Serena and Saje.

Serena and Saje are following in their father’s footsteps as they embark on a journey of helping others live a life filled with peace, love, and happiness. After their father’s passing, both sisters admitted to feeling immense loss and grief. However, they found comfort and connection to their father through writing. So, we dive into this realization and more as we talk about how their father’s death inspired them to co-author their latest book and to live their best life.

After living a happy childhood, both sisters acknowledge how their father’s death led to a shift in their perspective on life. (And death.) They share moving stories of how their father’s lessons and legacy continue on after his passing. While this episode is about moving through loss and grief, it’s also about finding the lessons in all of life’s moments. It’s about knowing that we can find purpose in everything we do.

Truthfully, there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. That’s why we talk about the power of choosing love, joy, and peace, even amid chaos. We explain how keeping that mindset is the secret to creating the life you want to live. It’s the secret to the transformation you’re craving. Listen as we discuss the choices we must make to live a more fulfilled and purposeful life. The truth is, following your heart serves as an inspiration and invitation to do the same.

It’s not about spending your life finding your purpose or searching for happiness. This episode reveals how we can all choose the energy we bring to every experience. In doing that, we have a say in the outcome. Therefore, we have more control over our experiences than we often take responsibility for.

This episode is filled with incredibly moving stories that completely blew me away. Serena and Saje articulate their father’s teachings so beautifully, bringing tears to my eyes on more than one occasion. I’m truly in awe of Serena and Saje’s perspective on life. I know you’ll find it both moving and motivational too. So, get comfortable, and let’s dive into this powerful conversation.

In this episode…

[04:05] Welcome to the show, Saje and Serena!

[08:28] Learn how their father’s passing played a role in writing their latest book.

[14:09] Hear the beautiful ways Wayne Dyer stayed with his family, even after his passing.

[29:11] The choice we must make to live a more fulfilled and purposeful life.

[35:17]There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

[40:32] We get to choose the energy we bring to every experience.

[52:41] Serena’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“When you're raised in a spiritual household, you are encouraged to understand that life is not happening to you. It is responding to you. Or in other words, that you don't just get what you want. You get what you are.” -Serena Dyer-Pisoni

“Sometimes it feels like it's not happening as it's meant to. It's not happening fast enough. But you can choose to feel that peace in the moment where it feels like there's chaos. And, in fact, that's the only way to have that transformation. That's the only way to create what it is that you're looking to create and to just really tune in and create that for yourself instead of waiting for it.” -Emily Williams

“You have to become what it is you are seeking. It's the only way the universe works.” -Serena Dyer-Pisoni

“I like to think of purpose and happiness as synonymous like that. Something that you can tap into and find in every day, with anything that you're doing -Saje Dyer

“Abundance isn't something that you acquire in life, and it's not something that you goout and find and work so hard to get. It's something that you tap into.” -Saje Dyer

“In the darkest of nights in the heaviest of storms, your knowing guides you home. But you must open your eyes to see it, to feel it, to follow it.” -Serena Dyer-Pisoni

The Knowing: 11 Lessons to Understand the Quiet Urges of Your Soul

View Details

Psst… you don’t have to work a ton more hours to generate more income. This is great news for anyone who is already feeling a little stressed out. Maybe you’re already doing too much and can’t imagine adding another client to your plate. You might be working too many hours yet wishing you could find a way to reach even more people. (I’ve been there.)

That’s why I dedicated this episode to outlining the exact steps I took to scale my income from $442 to 7-figures in my first 18 months of business. In preparation for the upcoming 7-Figure Framework Workshop, I recently sat down to retrace the steps I took to scale my business and reach that 7-figure milestone. I’m excited to share them here with you because I want you to achieve the financial freedom you are craving.

So, follow along as I dive into the story of how I scaled my business and how you can too. I quickly learned that I couldn’t scale my business to the extent I wanted following a time-for-money model. Listen as I explain the moves I made to go from 27 1-on-1 clients to a 7-figure business that included group programs, VIP days, 1-on-one coaching, and more.

I talk about the importance of clarifying your revenue goals and then determining the fastest, easiest, and most joyful way to get there. In short, determine what you want to and are qualified to create, and then make it scalable. Remember, you just have to be a step or two ahead of your ideal client.

If you’re already running a business, I explain how you can utilize something that’s currently working for you and expand from there. The episode covers everything from how expansion actually helps grow your other programs and allows you to increase your pricing all around. I explain how diversifying your offers allows you to increase your revenue and expand and deepen your impact. You can repeat the process outlined in this episode in a way that makes sense for whatever stage your business is at. As long as you have initiative and take action, you can continue to scale.

I know it always sounds easier when someone else is explaining it, but the truth is, even I didn’t exactly know everything before I got started building my business. But that's just it. I got started anyway. You’re never going to feel 100% ready. You just have to take action and get something out there. You can continue to tweak and grow your offers from there. I hope this episode inspires you to take that first step toward the scalable income you want and deserve. And don’t worry, I offer tons of questions you can ask yourself to help you get started.

While there’s a ton of helpful information and actionable advice in this episode, it’s only scratching the surface. Be sure to sign up for our 7-Figure Framework Workshop here to dive into all of the steps you need to scale your income.

In this episode…

[04:30] The inspiration behind this episode. My story of scaling my business.

[06:36] What type of business are you building?

[08:22] You just have to be a step or two ahead of your ideal client.

[12:42] How expansion actually helps your other programs.

[14:01] How expansion can help you increase your pricing.

[16:12] Diversity your offerings.

[18:42] Repeat the process to continue to grow.

[22:18] Scale in a way that makes sense for your business.

[24:40] How to scale your income: breaking it all down.

Quotes:

“Awareness is such a key component of success. We have to know why something's working and what we're doing to create that growth or success in order to replicate it.” -Emily Williams

“You want to really think about, what is it that you want to sell? What is your expertise? What is something that is currently working for you, potentially that one-to-one model, that you could grow and expand?” -Emily Williams

“Really think about what your revenue goals actually are, and what's going to be the fastest, easiest, and most joyful way to get there.” -Emily Williams

“If you are stressed out right now. If you're doing too much yourself. If you're feeling like you're not impacting the people you want to impact. If you're working too many hours… We really want to think about how we can transform your current business. One of the fastest ways to do that is to create something that is scalable so that you can grow your income.” -Emily Williams

Do you ever find yourself second-guessing your path in life? Maybe you know in your heart what you want to do but don’t quite know how to make it happen. Or perhaps you feel like it’s too late to start over or go after your dreams. Honestly, we could probably all use a little more alignment in our lives. It’s easy to get caught up in the expectations of others or the pressures we put on ourselves. The truth is, our souls will always lead us down the right path. (We just have to be willing to follow.)

Join me on this episode where I chat with the writer, mystic, devotional creative, and intuitive visionary Rebecca Campbell. I’ve admired Rebecca for many years and have wanted to have her on the show for quite some time. I’m so excited that the moment is finally here and that I get to share it here with you.

There is something so beautiful about the way she lets her soul and intuition guide her life. Follow along as we talk about how to move forward and follow your desires even when it feels scary. As a young adult, Rebecca struggled with acknowledging that her career path wasn’t going to look like a traditional career trajectory. She shares her journey going from a thriving career as a creative director to leaving her job to follow her intuition and write her first book, and all the challenges in between. Over the years, Rebecca has created a truly inspiring personal brand based on living a soul-led life in order to achieve your purpose and find alignment.

I just love her outlook regarding the experiences we have in life in that nothing is ever wasted. Listen as she explains how she has learned to embrace every experience in various facets of her life. As she describes, each one plays a role in revealing the path before us.

I know you’ll appreciate Rebecca’s honesty regarding the many aspects of following your soul’s calling. She’s willing to admit that running your own business has its hardships, noting that it’s much easier to work through them when you’re in alignment. (She’s right.) When things align with your soul and intuition, you’ll notice problems feel a little lighter.

Now, perhaps one of my favorite parts of this episode is when Rebecca eloquently explains the lessons we can all learn from nature. Listen as she explains just why we should all be a bit more like flowers, and how paying more attention to nature can help you be more in-tune with your soul. I’m telling you, after this episode, you’ll be ready to embrace nature in a whole new way.

So, if you’re trying to find your calling or feeling stuck as you look for ways to step into your calling, you’ll find Rebecca’s story highly relatable. If you're looking to find more fulfillment, feel more aligned, and live a soul-led life, this is the episode for you.

In this episode…

[04:46] Welcome, Rebecca! She explains her search to find her calling.

[10:48] Hear how Rebecca finally came out of her ‘spiritual closet’.

[15:13] How Rebecca navigated the concerns and uncertainties of starting something new.

[16:49] The process of writing her first book and stepping into her calling.

[22:26] The power of following your intuition.

[26:30] No experience in life is ever a waste.

[29:49] The positive impact of alignment on your business.

[31:57] Rebecca shares more about her latest book, Letters to a Starseed.

[36:44] Rebecca's advice for bringing forth your soul. (Nature’s biggest lesson.)

Quotes:

“I really believe that it's our weirdness— the things that we're weirdly obsessed with— that actually are revealing this golden path for us. I call it living the soul-led life. The soul is calling us in that direction.” -Rebecca Campbell

“It's pointless if we just receive the ideas and talk about the ideas, um, or the hunches or whatever they are, um, we got to turn them into action. We've got to show up every day with the baby step” -Rebecca Campbell

“When you have the call to follow a particular path, you can be like, ‘Oh gosh, I've wasted all these years not doing it. I should have started six months ago and I've missed my moment.’ But I don't think that is true. I don't think it is ever too late. I also think that [on] the path we walk, nothing is ever wasted.” -Rebecca Campbell

“When you start to really pay attention to your gifts and what you bring to the world, that's where all of the doors open. People get it and people are drawn to it. It comes more easily than when you're trying to do something that's not authentic.” -Emily Williams

“We are not separate from nature. We literally are nature ourselves. What nature shows us every single day is that it is not stagnant. It is completely cyclic… just because we're not living the life of our dreams right now doesn't mean that it wasn't what we dreamt of before. That's different from the goalpost constantly changing. We are changing and we are meant to change.” -Rebecca Campbell

How many times do you find yourself relying on other people or external factors to feel happiness, worth, or success? The truth is, my husband James recently pointed out that I can fall into the trap of doing that from time to time— I know I’m not alone. Many females (especially entrepreneurs) get too caught up in things out of their control. They let those things dictate their feelings of happiness and worth and use them to measure their success.

What if I told you the key to changing this, the key to increasing genuine feelings of happiness and worthiness, lies in the present moment? (Hint: It does.)

Highly driven people are often hyper-focused on the future, thinking of all they still need to do to achieve their future vision. The result? They forget to pay attention to the steps they can take to become that future version of themself. They make themselves wrong for the space between where they are and where they want to be. Or they find themselves held back by the past, using it as evidence as to why they can’t achieve their desires. Either way, they’re missing out on an imperative component of life, happiness, and success— the present moment.

That’s why I’m so grateful to have James taking over this episode to teach you all about developing more presence. The truth is, feelings of happiness, worthiness, and success thrive in the present moment. Why? Because it’s where we are. It’s what we can control.

When you’re more present, you can start generating feelings of worthiness because you can recognize how successful you are now. Then you can create more happiness. If you’re someone who easily gets stuck in the past or caught up in the future, the good news is it is possible to change that thought pattern.

Follow along in this episode as James takes you through his tips for being more present in your day-to-day life. You’ll want to take notes as he dives into the different facets of consciousness that significantly impact your progress, performance, and success. He shares numerous questions that you can ask yourself to help determine where you’re currently at and how you can continue to move forward with more consciousness and intentionality. He even walks you through a meditation practice that can help you feel more rooted in the present moment.

This episode is all about being aware of yourself and your circle of control. As James points out, true progress can only come about once you take ownership of recognizing your worth and generating your happiness. The moment we give that control to external forces, we’re limiting our capacity for success and fulfillment.

Remember, you are in control of your response to life. Once you recognize that, nothing gets to throw you off track. In turn, you can feel happier, more worthy, and ultimately more successful. If you’re ready to free yourself from the shackles of the past, take a step back from the overwhelming notion of the future, or simply take your happiness back into your own hands, be sure to press play on this one.

In this episode…

[05:22] The power of intrinsic motivation.

[09:24] Why a lot of people don’t feel worthy or successful.

[11:25] The emotional pandemic and what happens when we’re not present.

[13:34] Tips for being more present.

[16:06] How to be more conscious of your thoughts, feelings, and energy.

[21:00] Being conscious of your behaviors and others.

[25:19] Are you conscious of the progress you are making? (Why you should be.)

[28:45] The consciousness of the moment.

[30:30] Being conscious of your intuition.

[32:18] The importance of loving yourself.

[36:50] James walks you through his practice for being more present.

Quotes:

“The moment I started progressing was the moment that I took responsibility for recognizing my worthiness for generating my happiness and for showing up with a successful attitude.” -James Williams

“When we're not present, we're not taking action in the one place that we can actually progress. If we're stuck, we’re constantly thinking about what next, what next, what next? How are we ever going to register and be grateful for and feel worthy and accomplished for the things that we are achieving now? And if we're constantly stuck in the past, how are we ever going to generate the courage to do those big, scary things that we really want in our future?” -James Williams

“You must measure what's working [and] what's not working so that you can do more of what's working and less of what's not working. That's how you progress your business. And it's the same with the business of you.” -James Williams

“The more problems you can find, the more solutions you have the opportunity to find. And the faster you will progress. So the perspective shift is [to] be excited to measure your progress. Be excited to figure out how many steps forward and how many steps back you've taken so that you can get information to take action on.” -James Williams

“You are your number one client. That's a contract for life because how well you serve that client— that inner you— is a reflection of how well you can show up [and] how successful you will be.” -James Williams

Do you ever find yourself getting in your own way as you work toward your dreams? Maybe you’re stuck in a cycle of Imposter Syndrome or negative self-talk. Maybe you notice fear and anxiety are keeping you from achieving your goals. Or maybe you can’t quite put your finger on the what, but you know that something is holding you back. If any of that resonates with you, this episode is a must-listen.

Follow along as I talk with Dr. Don Wood, the founder of the Inspired Performance Institute. Don has spent years researching and learning about how trauma impacts the human mind and body. He has since dedicated his time to sharing this information and helping others overcome traumas, both big and small, that prevent them from living life to the fullest. He’s helped people overcome everything from post-traumatic stress and sexual abuse to health complications and limiting fears. I hope this episode can be a step in helping you move past any fears and traumas that are impacting your capacity for success.

The truth is, this trauma is anything that elicits an emotional response when thinking about it. Sometimes it’s a little experience from our childhood that stuck with us over the years. Maybe it’s an emotional experience from adulthood. Whatever the root is, this episode is an important reminder that your brain can be rewired and reset. There are steps you can take so your traumas don’t determine your future.

It’s about how your memories are stored. That’s why it’s important to understand how to interrupt traumatic loops that initiate the fight or flight response. I agree with Don in that minds and bodies are capable of healing. You can fully step into the life you want to live and achieve all the goals you have. It’s about taking back control and writing the narrative you want to live.

Just as our brain is a powerful protector, it’s a powerful healer as well. Follow along as Don reveals how to focus on healing and positive energy, leaving the fear behind. Listen as we discuss how trauma impacts your capacity for success and what you can do to move through trauma and into high performance. Don shares many incredible examples of how his work has changed the lives of his clients, proving just how vital this type of mindset work is— especially for entrepreneurs. We talk about the correlation between trauma and fear. We also take a look at how trauma can drain your energy, taking away from your ability to achieve all you want to do. I’m telling you, this is some of the most important mindset work you can do.

So, I invite you to listen to this episode and consider the next steps you can take in moving past your fears and traumas. Maybe it’s joining Don’s life-changing 4-hour program (he even has a special offer for IHML listeners). Perhaps it’s getting support from a business coach. Maybe it’s therapy. Whatever it is, remember that the key is in taking action.

So, after listening to this episode, what will your next step be?

Quotes:

“The reason you're experiencing either anxiety or panic attacks or depression is your mind has a reason for it. There's nothing wrong with you. It's just how our brains work. It's survival-based. So, all we have to do is get to the root of what created that behavior or created that response and then basically pull it out by the root.”-Dr. Don Wood

“The brain is the computer. The body's the printer. If the computer is not sending the right signals to the body, you're going to get sick. You can have all the ink and toner, and the printer can't print on its own without the brain sending it the correct information. So, what we have to do is update that computer. Once we get it updated, we close out all these looping programs that have been draining energy and focus. Then everything goes back into homeostasis.” -Dr. Don Wood

“[This is] probably the most valuable tool you can use to get your life to where you want it to be because we all have those aspirations and goals of what we would like to see. And the reason sometimes people can't reach that is not because they're not capable, but because their mind is experiencing some pain that is then distracting and draining them from their ability to stay focused on target. Or their mind sees pain ahead and will divert them from reaching that goal or target.”-Dr. Don Wood

“So much about successes is having that awareness and then being willing to get the support that we need from people to actually move through all of that and figure out what is actually going on here, because [you] know there's something more for [yourself].” -Emily Williams

Afraid to show up online or put yourself out there? Learn from a real coaching session how to move past the fear of judgment and how self-love can help build confidence.

How many times have you let your fears of what others might be thinking hold you back in your life or business? Maybe you’ve played it small when you show up for your audience. Perhaps the fears have prevented you from putting yourself out there at all. We both know our desires are meant for us, right? So, it’s imperative to move through any fears, doubts, and guilt that are keeping you from making the impact you desire (and others need).

Follow along as I coach one of my clients, Jennie, through the fears keeping her from leveling up in her business. I know her fears and pain points are shared by many. So, as you listen, think about how you can apply this coaching session to your own fears around showing up.

The truth is, a lot of this fear stems from our negative thoughts about ourselves. While you may fear receiving negative feedback, our biggest fear is that people will see us the way we see ourselves. (Including all of our flaws and insecurities.) That’s why I offer tips for ways to remind yourself of what it is you are capable of. (Trust me. It’s usually far more than we give ourselves credit for.) While it’s far easier to place the blame on others for holding us back, we have to recognize the role we play in these roadblocks as well.

While this episode serves as a reminder of all you can do, it also reminds you to be patient with yourself throughout the process. Mastery doesn’t happen overnight. I share a few strategies that can help you practice this patience and gain confidence along the way. As I explain to Jennie, it’s not about doing it perfectly but about continuing to show up.

During this coaching session, I share an important reminder. While we’re so worried about others judging us, we too are often guilty of judging others. Follow along as I walk Jennie through a practice that you can use to shift your mindset when you find yourself judging others. I explain how you can start to move through that fear by instead practicing gratitude and focusing on inspiration. It can totally shift your mindset, elevate your potential, and remove you from a cycle of self-doubt.

In fact, this episode is filled with ideas and strategies you can implement in your daily routines to build self-validation. Being reliant on external validation is a slippery slope, giving far too much power to other people. Instead of allowing others to tear you down, focus on self-validation to build yourself up. If you, like Jennie, feel wrong for self-love or self-indulgence, let this episode remind you of why it’s actually needed to move forward toward your dreams.

As you listen to Jennie discovering what she could do to show herself more love, think about how you could offer yourself more love too. The truth is, self-love is a requirement for your success. You need it to achieve the level of impact you are craving and the vision you dream of. This episode is a perfect reminder of that, offering tips to help you move past your fears and embrace your desires.

So, if you’re ready to let go of judgment and step into self-love, let’s dive into this episode.

In this episode…

[03:47] Welcome, Jennie! We dive into her fear of judgment.

[06:09] What to do when you feel you don’t have the credibility or authority you need.

[08:05] Moving past negative comments and feedback.

[11:37] Getting yourself to a place of confidence.

[13:36] Preparing for success when showing up and putting yourself out there.

[17:35] The truth? It’s not about other people.

[18:52] Why you should stop judging others (and what to do instead).

[21:42] Daily practices for self-validation.

[25:00] Why you need to stop feeling guilty for self-indulgence.

[32:00] The importance of finding daily routines to set the tone for your mindset and actions.

Quotes:

“When we put ourselves out there, the fear is that people are going to see us the way that we see ourselves. Our biggest insecurities are going to be magnetized because other people are going to see, 'Oh, she doesn't have it together. She can't do it. This is a waste of time.' So your only job right now, in order to move through this, is to be your biggest cheerleader for yourself.” -Emily Williams

“It's like selling a house. I don't need to sell that house to hundreds of people. I just need it to resonate with one person who's then going to invest in it and in buying it.” -Jennie Parker

“If you're looking for external validation, then that means the moment someone says something negative about you, it's going to take you down. Your job is learning how to stand on your own two feet, regardless of people saying good things or bad things because the truth is any negative thought is actually about the person saying it.” -Emily Williams

“There's a way to be grateful but still desire more and to put yourself first. There's a way to take care of [others] but to still put yourself first. There's a way to want to have a thriving coaching business and make a lot of money and still be grateful for the present moment. You're allowed to have both.” -Emily Williams

“If you're not giving to yourself, you're not going to be able to help anyone . You're not going to be able to have energy in your career and business. It's not going to work. So, it's a requirement for [your success] to give to yourself first.” -Emily Williams

It’s so easy to get caught up in the go, go, go of running a business, right? The truth is, there comes a time when you can’t achieve your big, bold business goals all by yourself. (And that’s okay.) There’s only so much time in a day, and there’s no need to try to do everything yourself. Trying to do so could ultimately harm your business. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without my team.

Speaking of…

One of my extraordinary team members is Ange Quinn. Not only is Ange a certified Director of Operations, but she’s one of the incredible strategists in the I Heart My Life Mastermind. I was thrilled to sit down with Ange for this episode to talk about everything operations, team, and metrics.

Ange is living proof that life works in mysterious ways to reveal your calling. For Ange, that meant losing her job right before becoming a mom. Instead of giving up and giving in, Ange took her passions into her own hands and built a virtual business operations empire. Since then, she’s replaced her 6-figure corporate income by running her own business, helping entrepreneurs successfully run theirs.

She joins me for this episode to reveal her insider tips that can help you successfully run your business. So, not only does Ange share her story that proves everything happens for a reason, but she gives insightful advice that you can apply to your business.

So, whether you’re looking to add your first or next team member, Ange explains how to know when it’s time to hire. She even shares her trick to knowing who that hire should be. We also talk about the importance of having an onboarding process and how it can make your and your new your hire’s lives much easier. Maybe your next hire is your very own Director of Operations. That’s why we talk about what a Director of Operations does and when it’s time to hire one. Ange breaks down the different options you have for hiring for this role and the financial signs that your business is ready to make that hire.

Maybe you’re scratching your head, wondering why your business isn’t scaling the way you want. That’s why Ange and I spend time diving into those key performance indicators you should keep your eye on in your business. Ange explains why numbers are significant when it comes to understanding the health of any business. We discuss important areas where you should be tracking data and what to do with that information to move you toward your goals. We also talk all about the importance of getting clear on what is or isn’t working with your business and how to use it to move forward.

Ange even gives her advice for living a life better than your dreams. After all, that’s what it’s all about, right?

So, what are you waiting for? Grab a notebook and dive in to learn Ange’s insider tips that can help you break through to new levels in your business.

In this episode…

[03:17] Welcome to the show, Ange!

[07:27] Everything happens for a reason…

[12:25] How Ange leveraged her passions and experiences to launch her business.

[15:58] How to know when (and who) to hire your first team member.

[20:12] Director of Operations: what they do and when to hire one.

[24:47] How to know when you’re financially ready to hire a Director of Operations.

[27:34] The biggest mistakes people make with hiring.

[29:52] Key Performance Indicators to keep your eye on.

[33:40] Ange’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“The first thing you should hire for is that first thing that's really holding you back.” -Ange Quinn

“It's actually costing you more money to keep doing those tasks, especially the things that you're not good at, and you're not skilled at, then to outsource it.” -Emily Williams

“You have to have an onboarding process. That's going to introduce them to your business, [give them the] background, and show them where they can find things. This is all setting it up so that they're not asking as many questions. If you set them up properly in your business, it will take less of your time.” -Ange Quinn

“I find that numbers can just really tell the story behind the scenes in many different ways.” -Ange Quinn

“Awareness is so key when it comes to building your business, and that's something that a lot of business owners forget. They're just go, go, go, and you really need to take some time to actually look at what is working and what's not working because sometimes the simplest tweaks can make a big difference.” -Emily Williams\

What are your biggest desires for your life, business, or career? The truth is, if you’re not attracting what it is you want, you’re repelling it. That’s why it’s so important to be aware of how you are showing up for your desires. It’s far too easy to come up with all the excuses. But at IHML, we’re all about showing up and doing the work. Why? Because that’s how you live a life better than your dreams.

That’s why I love working with my clients. I love diving deep into their desires and revealing what it is that’s holding them back. From there, we create an actionable plan to help them step into whatever it is they truly want. I recently had the honor of doing this with one of my lovely one-on-one clients craving financial abundance in her business. Since our one-on-one sessions, she's attracting more financial abundance than ever before.

Despite her initial hesitation to spend the money on a month of one-on-one coaching, she ultimately understood that fully committing to and showing up for her business was the only way to achieve the desired results. With that said, this episode is an invitation for you to step into your biggest desires in your personal or professional life.

We’re all capable of getting what we want in life. That’s why I’m sharing the same steps you can take to attract your desires, big or small. So, follow along as I reveal how you can be magnetic to everything you want in your professional or personal life. I break down exactly what my client has been doing to achieve her incredible results so that you can take this step-by-step process and apply it to your life. From actionable steps to questions you can use to keep yourself on track, this episode has everything you need to start being a magnet to all you want in this world.

The truth is, if you’re not clear on what it is you want, it’s really hard to achieve those big results you’re craving. That’s why I walk you through everything from getting clear on your goals to showing up with unwavering faith. I explain how feeding negative energy and fear only gets in your way, revealing what you can do instead to reconnect with your purpose and desires.

The bottom line is that taking big action is the way to achieve big results. I explain why getting support is an essential component of growth and how stepping out of your comfort zone is the key to progress. The best part is that with time and practice, these steps will become more and more natural. Eventually, you’ll find that this magnetic nature is a way of being.

So, no matter where you’re looking to add abundance to your life, this episode helps pave the way toward those results you’re craving. Be sure to tune in so you can be on your way to attracting all you want and more. Remember, if you’re willing to show up keep the faith, and do the work, the sky’s the limit.

In this episode…

[03:18] An incredible client case study. (The importance of showing up.)

[06:10] Step 1: Get clear on the goal.

[07:35] Step 2: Be specific and obvious with your offer.

[10:15] Step 3: Show up with unwavering faith.

[11:54] Step 4: Reconnect to your purpose and desires.

[13:53] Step 5: Take (big) action and get support.

[16:26] The power of being uncomfortable.

[17:37] How to utilize these steps to be magnetic anytime and anywhere in your life.

Quotes:

“Oftentimes, when it comes to marketing, [women] are not specific. We're not obvious. We're not telling people what we have to offer and why it's so amazing.” -Emily Williams

“Really think about what's going to get you into action and what is the fastest, easiest, and most joyful way to get the result that you want.” -Emily Williams

“Think about how much energy you're wasting thinking, ‘Oh, it's not possible for me to find love, or it's never going to happen with my business. I'm not going to be able to get the results or there are no clients for me.’ Really think about how much time you're spending in that place and how that's not serving you and it's just leaking energy. [Instead], stay in faith.” -Emily Williams

“Maybe for you right now, in order to get magnetic again or for the first time, you need to reconnect to your purpose or reconnect to that thing that you want. That’s why we always start with getting clarity on what it is that you actually want.” -Emily Williams

“A lot of people say you need to be positive all the time, but really you just need to be sure. You need to be sure that this is what you want and that it's available for you and continue to hold that belief.” -Emily Williams

Do you ever just get caught up in the daily grind of running a business or chasing your dreams? Or maybe you get so wrapped up in the pressure of having it all figured out that you lose sight of your why? If either of those resonates with you, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. (It became a fast favorite of mine).

Follow along as I chat with Jason Goldberg. Jason is a life coach and business mentor I first connected with at an event I hosted in Texas last month. When I tell you that I was immediately drawn to his positive energy and welcoming spirit, I’m not lying. (You’ll know what I’m talking about mere minutes into the episode). I was blown away by his story going from an anxious and depressed child to an incredibly inspiring (and truly happy) life coach. His secret? Maintaining a spirit of play in his life and business.

So, you can count on this episode being full of joy, play, and fun, in addition to great advice that can truly change the way you live your life or run your business. Listen as we talk about everything from Jason’s childhood struggles with food, anxiety, and depression to how humor and empathy helped him change his life for the better. Jason also shares his journey going from a successful, albeit unfulfilled, career in the corporate world to entering the world of personal growth and coaching. He even names the very books that changed his perception of personal development.

I ask Jason to detail his journey of personal transformation. He does that and so much more. Through sharing his experience, he offers valuable advice to anyone feeling a little lost on their journey as he explains the transformative power of insight. He also reveals the mindset shift that allowed him to fully step into his calling as a coach, explaining the importance of being service-oriented.

As if that’s not incredible enough, Jason goes on to share his brilliant “3 B” model for showing up confident on sales calls and his best advice for creating a successful coaching program. I was blown away by what he shared, and I know you can greatly benefit from all he has to offer. I’m also obsessed with his advice for keeping the spirit of play alive and well in both your life and business (and I’m confident you will be too).

This episode explores failures as much as it does successes, connecting the dots between the two in such a beautiful way. By the end of this episode, I hope you can start to shift the way you look at trauma and failure, using them as tools to build you up rather than tear you down. (It’ll make more sense after you listen, I promise).

This episode is jam-packed with motivational insight and actionable advice. So, do yourself a favor, grab a pen and a notebook, and get cozy. Trust me. You’re going to want to take notes as you listen to this incredible episode.

In this episode…

[03:46] Welcome, Jason! Learn how humor and empathy saved him from childhood struggles.

[08:42] Personal development doesn’t mean having it all figured out.

[10:50] Jason’s journey from corporate to life coach. (His introduction to personal growth).

[17:32] The transformative power of insight.

[20:26] The mindset shift Jason made when transitioning from corporate to coaching.

[23:54] Jason’s incredible “3 B” model for showing up confidently on sales calls.

[28:47] Jason walks you through creating a successful program that lights you up.

[34:31] Overcoming challenges when building a business or platform.

[36:29] How to maintain the spirit of play in your business (and everything you do).

[38:24] The lessons we can learn in failure.

[42:21] Jason’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“Unfortunately, there's a big misconception in the personal growth world, especially if you're a coach, that you have it all figured out – whatever the hell that even means – and that you are somehow immune from the human experience of suffering or stress. I think that that's a disservice because it sets up unrealistic expectations for the people that follow us.” -Jason Goldberg

“Needy is an energy that people sense. And they don’t want to be around that, especially with a coach, because when they're hiring you as a coach, a lot of times they're borrowing your belief and your optimism. If you are showing up in a needy place, that's not leadership. Our clients want to be led. -Jason Goldberg

“If we're looking to inspire people or display belief about what they're capable of, now is the time to do it. Now is the time to take action and for them to move forward to make that transformation because we're not guaranteed a certain amount of time.” -Emily Williams

"The more I can kind of slow down and get into that present moment, the more the natural play and joy start shining through again.” -Jason Goldberg

“Get clear on what you're known for activating and the impact you have on people, what you leave behind when you leave an interaction with somebody, figure out what that is for yourself and then go all-in on that. Really find ways to amplify and magnify that in the service of others in any chance you get, and it will build your life and your business to a place where you will feel tremendous.” -Jason Goldberg

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about networking. It’s easy to get caught up in strategy and marketing, forgetting to nourish other imperative aspects of running a business. Truthfully, whether you’re running a business or just looking to find inspiration and up-level your life, we can all benefit from human connection.

Despite being an introvert, I’ve made it a priority to get intentional about networking. It’s helped me grow my business in more ways than I ever imagined possible. My network has supported me through massive challenges and exciting changes. I’ve come to realize that, like many things in life, the sky's the limit here. Maybe you join a 6-month mastermind, connect via a Facebook group, or simply meet up for a quick coffee date. It’s about finding what works for you. So, this episode focused on teaching you how to grow a thriving network in your life.

Maybe you’re craving connection or looking for support that your friends and family just can’t offer you. There’s no need to feel wrong about that. We’re constantly evolving, right? So, it makes sense that your network would evolve too. I share examples of how my network has changed with the shifts in my life and business.

Follow along to learn why acknowledging your desires and being intentional with your approach is the first step to building a strong network. I walk you through how to use things like social media— platforms you’re likely actively using already— to your advantage. I explain the power of asking questions and reaching out to those who inspire us most (and maybe even make us a tad bit jealous).

As you probably know, I’ve moved around a ton in my life. So, I’ve had to create my network from scratch. While I share stories of traveling all over the country and world to build the incredible network and support system I have today, I also want to highlight the power of tapping into your local network. Listen for the actionable advice I have regarding showing up genuinely and generously. I reveal the exact steps you can take to go from intention to action and grow an invaluable network.

It’s all about finding like-minded individuals so you can not only support each other but help each other grow. Networks are a huge source of inspiration. Again, I’ve connected with people around the world, and it’s because I set the intention to do so. I wanted to grow my network and connect with and learn from like-minded people wherever I was, and I’m better for it. (My business is too). Who knows! By the end of this episode, you might be ready to throw your very own influencer party!

I hope this episode serves as a reminder that people are more than willing to help if you just ask. Open your heart and mind, setting the intention to grow your network. I invite you to find your people and join those groups, whether they’re online or in person. You’ll be amazed at the incredible connections you’ll make, opportunities you’ll find, and the growth you’ll experience.

P.S. Looking to connect with like-minded women? Want to work alongside entrepreneurs who have big hearts and big visions?

[12:04] The power of generosity.

[14:18] How to go from intention to action to grow your network.

[16:22] Tailoring your approach to networking to meet your needs.

Quotes:

“This life journey is not meant to be done alone.” -Emily Williams

“[Maybe] you've realized that the people in your life who have been there for years are no longer in alignment with what it is that you're doing in your life or what you want to create. And that's totally normal. We're always evolving. And that's a good thing.”-Emily Williams

“When you start with pure intentions based on connection, based on wanting to give as well as to get, of course [you’ll receive benefits]. That will happen naturally. You don't have to worry about that. Your job is to show up, be kind, be generous and put yourself out there.” -Emily Williams

“Get clear on the intention. What is it that you're actually looking for? Then you're going to be able to make a very clear plan about how to make that happen, and energetically, you're going to shift because you're telling the universe, ‘Hey, I'm ready.’ Then your teacher will appear. Your mentors will appear. Your friends will appear. Your amazing fellow influencers will appear because you've set the intention and you got clear on the goal” -Emily Williams

“Everyone is looking for a connection. That is universal. Trust that if you're looking for it, other people are looking for it too. Follow your heart. Follow your instincts. You never know what will happen.” -Emily Williams

When faced with challenges, we have two choices. We can give up and give in, or stand tall and move through to the other side. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Whether it’s changing careers, starting a business, taking your business to a new level or in a new direction, leaving a relationship— literally any of life’s big (or small) decisions— the answer lies in your heart.

That’s why I’m so excited to share this inspiring conversation with Neeta Bhushan. Neeta is a true champion of emotional and mental health. After a childhood filled with traumatic loss and pressures of perfection, Neeta thought she knew what she needed to feel fulfilled in her life. However, she quickly realized that the financial success of her cosmetic dentistry practice wasn’t the answer she was looking for. Now, Neeta serves as a mentor to leaders and entrepreneurs. She’s a speaker, author, and co-founder of both the Global Grit Institute and the Dharma Coaching Certification.

While her resume is sure to impress, it’s her story of courage, ambition, and resilience that I find most inspiring. Follow along as Neeta shares her incredible story starting with her childhood, explaining the pressures she felt as the eldest child of two immigrant parents. After working tirelessly to chase the “American Dream,” she was caught off guard when she realized the dream she was chasing no longer aligned with her true desires. Thus, she shares her journey of self-discovery and how giving herself the time, space, and permission to explore her authentic truth helped her find her version of the Dream.

She doesn’t hold anything back, discussing the pressures she felt to keep the peace and keep others satisfied both in her family and abusive marriage. She also explains why sometimes you need to break down to break through. We talk about everything from the power of seeking help and guidance to moving past the fears that hold us back. Neeta’s story further proves that your heart holds the answers to some of life’s biggest questions and most difficult decisions.

As much as this episode is about Neeta’s story, it’s also about helping you learn tools that can move you through times of darkness and confusion. The advice we unpack in this episode can help you transform your life in pretty much every way. After all, we only get one life to live. As Neeta emphasizes, it’s best spent doing something you love, giving you a sense of purpose, alignment, and joy.

This is the perfect episode for entrepreneurs, game-changers, and anyone looking for that breakthrough that will give you the sense of peace and purpose you’ve been chasing. Neeta is a remarkable example of what can happen when you let go of the pressure, perfectionism, and expectations and instead say yes to your heart. I hope that this episode helps you get one step closer to doing the same.

In this episode…

[04:21] Welcome, Neeta! She shares her journey of grit and resilience.

[09:48] The awakening that changed Neeta’s course (and possibly her life).

[13:58] How Neeta moved through pressure and uncertainty to experience the ultimate breakthrough.

[17:43] The importance of giving yourself permission.

[18:17] How seeking help and community brought Neeta closer to a big revelation.

[23:26] How Neeta made the hard decision to totally switch gears in her career.

[27:30] Give yourself space, time, and permission to lean into your heart.

[28:44] Neeta shares how she found clarity (and love).

[31:58] Neeta’s framework for rising above life’s obstacles with resilience.

[36:05] Neeta’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“That permission piece is so huge. How often do we need somebody else to validate decisions and let us know it's okay, and give us that metaphorical stamp of approval before we can do it for ourselves?” -Emily Williams

“Once you say ‘yes’ to the growth ride, all doors open wide.” -Neeta Bhushan

“Your heart actually has the answers. It's not in the textbook. It's really just following those instincts.” -Emily Williams

“It's like this awakening, which leads you to ignite perhaps a different perspective, a different way of thinking, or a different way of doing things. You're just asking a different question, which then leads you to rise. You're rising like a Phoenix out of this mess.” -Neeta Bhushan

“Once you are able to relish and dive into that personal care time where you are able to reflect, rethink, regather, reset, and reclaim, you can really envision even more of an amazing life [filled with more] greatness than you had ever anticipated. [It starts by] just by giving yourself that space and permission.” -Neeta Bhushan

It’s easy to feel like there’s not enough time in the day. So much to do, so little time, right? That’s why I’m sharing this episode all about my secrets to avoiding burnout by operating at highly efficient levels of physical and mental performance. The ultimate goal here is to help you understand the simple shifts you can start implementing in your life to become a high performer and achieve those goals you’ve had your eyes (and heart) set on.

The truth is, if you want to be a high performer, you’re going to have to take your mental and physical well-being to a whole new level. Sure, the changes might not be easy, but they’re worth it. Trust me. I’ve been on my own journey toward high performance and, while there is still room for growth, I’ve already seen an incredible impact in my life and business. So, follow along as I share my top tips for getting started on your own journey toward high performance.

Listen as I dive into what being a high performer truly means and how it’s been a game-changer for me. It might surprise you to know that protecting your sleep is the most imperative element of high performance. It ties into everything else. Think about how much a good or bad night’s sleep impacts your entire day, from your energy levels and productivity to your ability to concentrate and make decisions.

That’s why I spend the first half of this episode dedicated to the hows and whys behind protecting your sleep. I even share the tools I use to track my sleep, explaining why understanding your sleep is critical to achieving high performance. Then I dive into the importance of recovery, sharing effective ways to wind down at the end of each day. I even share why James and I ultimately removed the TV from our bedroom (and why you should avoid screens at bedtime too).

I’m telling you, from exercise and nutrition to screen-time and stress, this episode covers it all. I’m not holding any secrets back. I even run you through my morning routine, giving insight into how I structure my workday for high performance and success (and how you can do the same). Less can be more, and you don’t have to work crazy hours to achieve your goals. From rearranging the apps on your phone to outsourcing parts of your business to help you remain focused and efficient, I want you to implement whatever shifts and strategies speak to you.

I know that old habits die hard, but you have to remind yourself of your why. What is your ultimate goal? How is this habit going to help you get there? For the record, high-performance habits aren’t just for those looking to achieve big business goals. You can apply these tips to any goal you have. Looking to lose weight? Save money? These tips can help.

Even better? These high-performance habits begin with relatively simple shifts you can start making today. Remember, committing to these changes is a way of committing to yourself and your goals. If you keep that attitude, anything is possible.

In this episode…

[01:11] What high-performance means to me.

[04:41] It all starts with protecting (and tracking) your sleep.

[09:19] The impact of screens on our sleep.

[12:08] Tips for unwinding before bed.

[14:16] Figuring out what works for you. (We’re all different).

[16:18] The benefits of regular exercise (and how to make it a priority).

[19:05] Learn the impact of what you put into your body.

[21:44] Understand the role of mindset work in high-performance.

[23:13] How I use my phone to destress.

[25:08] Why I stop working at 6 pm each night.

[27:00] When to be consistent vs. flexible.

Quotes:

“Protect your sleep because truly that affects everything. It affects your mindset, your mood, and how quickly and efficiently your brain is working. It affects your relationships. It affects your fitness and your weight. It affects everything” -Emily Williams

“A lot of our learning happens in the middle of the night when our body is resting. It's like a reset. So we want to think about what we can do before bed to wind down and really decompress so that our mind can be turned off and go into that reset mode.” -Emily Williams

“You're not going to change unless the desire [for change] becomes greater than the fear or lack of that thing you feel like you're giving up.” -Emily Williams

“I used to think that all of these [high-performance] items were just tasks that I should personally be doing, but then I realized that they were actually requirements to be successful, just like sending that email, jumping on Facebook Live, or recording the podcast.” -Emily Williams

“It's not about the quantity or the hours that you're working. It's about the quality. What if you could get more done in less time? Well, you can if you protect your sleep and become a high performer.” -Emily Williams

Life is full of unexpected moments that can bring challenges, hardships, loss, or grief. Sometimes it all comes at once. Dealing with the emotions in the wake of these moments is a challenge in itself. It’s easy to feel defeated, shut down, or lost. On the other hand, it’s possible to move through these experiences and emotions and come out on the other side with a new perspective and appreciation.

That’s exactly what the guest of this episode did. Evelyn Fuson is a kind and bubbly member of the IHML team who faced a significant loss in 2020. This past August, she lost her father to COVID-19, turning her world upside down. I admire Evelyn for her strength as she continues to navigate this season of her life. Moments like this can either cause people to shut down or inspire them to shine. Despite still struggling with her father’s death, Evelyn chooses to shine.

I’m so grateful she was willing to come on the show and discuss her experience working through the grief she faces in the wake of her loss.

Follow along as Evelyn opens her heart and shares this highly personal and emotional experience to instill hope in others who may be going through their own hardships. The truth is, we’re often unprepared when faced with loss or unexpected challenges. Although Evelyn believes that it's nearly impossible to fully prepare yourself for these moments, she shares her advice for moving through them. As Evelyn points out, grief can come in waves. However, it is possible to keep moving forward.

From making space for your emotions to being honest with yourself and others, she explains her biggest takeaways from this emotional experience. We also discuss the importance of self-love as Evelyn reflects on her most prominent realizations throughout this process of grief. She shares how she’s found peace in being her true self, being unapologetic, and creating boundaries as she heals from the pain. We also discuss why it’s so important to give yourself the time and space to process your emotions fully and why you have to fulfill your needs before you can truly help others as they cope.

These conversations are so essential to our well-being. How often do people suppress their emotions or just keep chugging along, thinking that’s the only way? (Too often, I think). I hope that this episode can serve as a reminder that it isn’t the only way. Whether you believe we can prepare for these moments or not, having these raw and honest conversations help us understand, cope, and heal. It’s an essential step in moving forward. I invite you to join us in taking that step.

Unfortunately, loss and challenges are inevitable parts of life. Maybe you don’t need this conversation today, and that’s okay. Know that this episode is here for you whenever it is that you do.

In this episode…

[04:45] Welcome, Evelyn! She shares her story of loss and grief.

[12:57] Evelyn shares why she gave herself permission to move through the emotions.

[16:51] Grief comes and goes (sometimes surprising you).

[18:20] Evelyn explains the ways she moved through the waves of grief.

[22:23] Supporting others (while still supporting yourself) through grief.

[25:17] Grief and its impact on relationships.

[29:25] Can we ever prepare for loss?

[33:27] Evelyn’s advice for moving through the pain and living life fully.

[38:15] What Evelyn would share with her dad if he were still here.

[41:08] Evelyn’s final words of advice for those looking for support with their dreams.

Quotes:

“When you're experiencing this emotion, trust your body's intuition in the moment and experience it. Because whatever we resist, it's still coming back in another way.” -Evelyn Fuson

“No feeling is permanent. It's okay not to be okay and still move forward and continue to pursue things that are important to you and put energy into them. I think it can be tempting to want to stop and stay [stuck].” -Evelyn Fuson

“I think there's still power in being able to recognize that you get to decide the experience that you want to have. It may be surprising how we respond, or it may be surprising the things that come up for us. But I think [it’s about] being curious, instead of judgmental, about things that may come up, and trying to remember to have a lot of self-compassion as well.” -Evelyn Fuson

“[It’s powerful] being able to feel like you're not alone and that whatever it is you're feeling, there's nothing wrong with that. Express it fully, let it out, be okay with it, and still move forward with the things that light you up. Live your life to the fullest because we aren't promised any amount of time.” -Emily Williams

“Instead of looking back on what I would change or if something were to be different, I'm just like, what can I learn from the experience and move forward?” -Evelyn Fuson

It’s truly admirable to take the leap and go for your dreams. However, I know it isn’t always as simple as taking that jump of faith. There can be a lot of pressure and expectations that follow. Maybe these pressures are coming from your friends, families, or even your spouse or partner. I know it’s easy to get caught up and weighed down by these big expectations to succeed.

I’m here to let you in on a little secret. While there may be some pressure coming from those people, a lot of the overwhelm you’re feeling is coming from your own doubts, fears, and insecurities. Think about this. Other people’s opinions wouldn’t matter so much if you didn’t relate to them on some level. Luckily, you can do things to help move past these roadblocks getting in the way of you achieving the success you’re craving. It is possible.

In this episode, follow along as I walk two-time I Heart Coaching student Tonya through her struggles with these pressures and feelings of doubt and insecurity. Tonya has a big vision of someday running a multimillion-dollar business. For now, she’s starting from scratch. With that comes some fear-driven pressure from her husband, who truly wants to see his wife succeed. It’s a common scenario. The people closest to us can often have a completely different perspective on the situation. So, I talk about why it’s important not to make them out to be the villain here. Instead, I share the importance of finding clarity around the big vision and the action steps that will help bring it to life.

Through our conversation, Tonya comes to terms with what’s truly holding her back from achieving the results she wants in her business. (Hint: It isn’t her husband). We dive into the fact that many people put this pressure on themselves out of a sense of obligation. However, I believe in the power of using that as motivation instead of letting it stir up guilt or fear.

I walk Tonya through the importance of believing in what you’re selling and getting clear on your why. Listen for the actionable advice I provide Tonya, considering how you can apply it to getting clear on and connected with your why. The truth is, this is a crucial step in gaining the confidence you need to sell your products or services.

We also dive into the other imperative piece of the puzzle– staying accountable and taking action. It’s one thing to talk about what you could do to achieve your goals. It’s another to follow through and do them. Remember, action is the key to progress. That’s why I provide several suggestions that can help you get started holding yourself accountable for the actions you’re going to take toward your goals asap.

This coaching session helped give Tonya the clarity she needed to take the next step forward, but the advice truly is universal. If you’re feeling a little stuck when it comes to stepping into your vision, give this episode a listen. I know my advice to Tonya can help you make progress too.

In this episode…

[04:10] Welcome, Tonya! Listen as we talk about dealing with spousal pressure.

[07:03] I walk Tonya through clarifying her why and identifying her financial goals.

[09:52] How to navigate having a different mindset than your partner.

[12:59] Tonya uncovers what’s truly holding her back (and it’s not her husband).

[15:44] I walk Tonya through developing tangible action steps to work through her fears.

[18:02] Why staying connected and clear on your why can give you the confidence to sell.

[21:25] The importance of accountability and taking action.

[24:08] Hear how I help Tonya commit to taking the next step forward.

Quotes:

“I really think [this pressure] comes from a place of feeling obligated to show him that I made a good decision.” -Tonya Alberti

“We can use obligation and pressure to harm ourselves, or we can use it for motivation.” -Emily Williams

“Even if you are selling to yourself, your mind still might try and stop you. That's when you have to go back to the desire, and you have to go back to that why. And that why has to be much stronger than that fear and that nervousness that's coming up for you.” -Emily Williams

“There are pieces of this that have to do with your husband, but it more has to do with you. If someone says something and it affects us, that means we believe it to be true on some level. Otherwise, it wouldn't have that effect.” -Emily Williams

“Remember that sales is actually service. We can't help people unless they're in that container of coaching. So just show up as your true, authentic self, and people will feel that.” -Emily Williams

We all know visibility is an essential component to growing a business. While many people think you need years of experience and a robust list of clientele to get your name out there in the media, that simply isn’t the case. If you’re just getting started building your brand and growing your business, that’s excellent news for you. What’s even better is that the steps increasing your visibility and impact through PR isn’t as complicated as you may think.

Take it from PR expert Jane Tabachnick. Jane is a fashion designer turned PR expert who learned first hand the power media exposure can have on taking a business to that next level of visibility, impact, and even credibility. I was so excited to chat with her for this episode all about building simple yet effective PR habits in your business.

Jane’s story going from the world of fashion to the world of publicity is proof that you don’t necessarily need to hire an expert or firm to get your name out there and build the following you desire. As she explains in this episode, the ability to tell stories, showcase your value-add, and relate to the audience are the foundation elements of successful PR. In fact, the key to gaining media interest is showcasing the value you bring to their audience. The good news? Whether you’re just getting started with a few practice clients or have been in business for years, we all have success stories we can share.

I invite you to follow along as Jane and I discuss everything you need to know about getting started with PR in your business. We explore why stories are a PR staple and at the root of gaining exposure and building credibility. Jane also dives into the different avenues you can use to start getting publicity and visibility for your business. (Hint: it’s all about building relationships). She even outlines her signature ‘hug an influencer’ technique to increase visibility and impact on social media.

The truth is, people care more about what others are saying about you than what you’re saying about yourself. That means that 3rd party credibility is one of the essential elements of PR you should establish. Not only does that publicity build traction for your brand, but it also establishes an element of trust you simply cannot build on your own. Wondering about paid publicity? Don’t worry. We cover that too.

Now, before you write off PR as something you can tackle on your own in your business, listen as Jane outlines exactly how to approach media personnel to pitch yourself and your brand. She even walks you through her best tips for building PR habits that will increase your visibility and open the door for amazing opportunities for you and your business.

No matter what stage of business you are in, this episode is full of incredible tips and actionable steps that you can start implementing in your business today. So, what are you waiting for? Grab a notebook, and let’s dive in!

In this episode…

[03:35] Welcome to the show, Jane! How Jane went from fashion designer to PR expert.

[06:17] Learn how (and why) Jane left the fashion industry for the world of PR.

[08:10] How to get started with PR in your business.

[09:14] Learn why you don’t need decades of experience to get started. (You just need a story).

[11:45] The different avenues you can use to start getting publicity and visibility (including influencers).

[15:11] Jane’s trick for connecting with media personnel.

[18:46] PR is important for building credibility and trust.

[20:06] Jane’s advice on paid PR opportunities.

[21:34] Top tips for increasing your visibility and building PR habits.

[24:44] The three ways to get publicity (including working with Jane).

[26:10] Jane’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“It's possible for anyone to get PR. Everyone has success stories.” -Jane Tabachnick

“Most of us don't start out as experts. We're not perfect. So, if you can be relatable and you can show how you help solve a problem or how your product helps solve a problem, that’s really valuable to the [audience]. And that's what the media cares about.” -Jane Tabachnick

“I think that sometimes we think it needs to take decades, but [we can] also utilize some of the information and some of the results that we got prior to even opening the doors [of the business] as examples of what's possible.” -Emily Williams

“No one cares what you say about you. They may like you. They may follow you. But for the most part, marketing messages and advertising are not trusted. People trust the media, and they trust third-party credibility.” -Jane Tabachnick

“The thing to keep in mind is to get in the game. Do the simple things. If you can do it every day, great. If not, do it three times a week. Do something because you have to be in the game. Anyone you see getting on stage, being interviewed on podcasts, getting press is pitching, it's not just happening organically or magically. They're not luckier than you. They're either taking the steps themselves, or they're hiring someone to help them.” -Jane Tabachnick

Join us as we celebrate a BIG milestone…

It’s the 200th episode of the I Heart My Life Show!

I have to be honest. I almost didn’t celebrate this exciting achievement. If you’re anything like me, you know it’s way too easy to get swept up in the hustle. It’s easy just to keep working and moving toward the next success.

That’s exactly why I needed to record this episode. Until my podcast editor reached out to ask what we would be doing to celebrate this special episode, it didn’t really dawn on just how big of a deal it was. We all know that showing up consistently for a big vision takes a lot of heart, work, and dedication. That’s why it’s so important to celebrate both the big and small wins along the way.

In fact, that’s one of the most important lessons this podcasting journey has taught me. We deserve (and need) to acknowledge our hard work and celebrate our achievements. It only helps propel us toward more success and even bigger victories.

To help me celebrate this episode and help you find success in whatever big project you're tackling or significant milestone you’re after, I’m using this episode to share my top five takeaways that I’ve learned along this podcasting journey.

These lessons aren’t just for people pursuing podcasts of their own. While I may be sharing how these lessons have helped me get this podcast to where it is today, they can be applied to any big goal you may have that requires you to show up consistently. Maybe it is a podcast. Or perhaps you’re launching a business or starting a blog. Maybe you’re looking to lose weight or save money for a big purchase. Whatever that goal is that you are after, these tips can help you get there.

Follow along as I talk about everything from the importance of having a purpose behind your project to knowing when (and who) to ask for help. Learn how your why will help drive your heart and dedication (and earn you those results you’re craving). I’ll also discuss how having a team and sticking to a schedule have helped keep me on track (and how they can help you do the same). As much as this episode is a celebration of what we’ve accomplished here at IHML, it’s also a reminder for you to celebrate the milestones you achieve along whatever journey you’re on.

One last thing…

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just finding this show, I’m so happy you’re here. This show was founded on the belief that everything you desire is not only meant for you but possible. I hope this episode, and any others you’ve listened to, enlighten and inspire you the way they have me. While I’m thrilled to have reached this incredible and rewarding milestone, I know there is still so much greatness and inspiration to come. Stay tuned, Lovely…

In this episode…

[01:06] I almost didn’t celebrate this milestone!

[03:50] Lesson 1: Know the purpose behind what you’re doing.

[06:11] Lesson 2: Know when and who to ask for help.

[09:12] Lesson 3: Teach what you love.

[12:22] Lesson 4: Get organized.

[14:52] Lesson 5: Celebrate! (Including those little victories along the way).

[17:29] A big shoutout (and many thanks) to you.

Quotes:

“Really think about that thing that you're moving forward with and ask yourself, does this contribute to the bigger picture? Does this contribute to the vision? Is there an actual purpose to this? Or is this just wasting time? ” -Emily Williams

“Really think about what it is that you love to do and, if you are going to be consistent at something, it really helps to make sure that your heart is one hundred percent into it.” -Emily Williams

“There's really no set way [to get organized], but I do find that being scheduled is really the best thing that you can possibly do [for consistency and long-term success].” -Emily Williams

“If you're going to be consistent with something, our mind likes to be rewarded every step of the process. We need to make some conscious effort to remind ourselves how well we're doing to praise ourselves, show love to ourselves, and celebrate ourselves.” -Emily Williams

“Celebrations along the journey [are] going to contribute to even better results. When we see and acknowledge ourselves doing a great job and praise ourselves, it shifts our energy. When we have more energy to put into the process, we'll get results faster. We'll be happier, and we'll attract even more incredible things to us because of the frequency that we're on.” -Emily Williams

At I Heart My Life, we witness so many examples of the great things that can come from trusting your instincts. The problem? So many people lack the alignment needed to trust their gut and fully step into their calling. Maybe you feel like you’re meant for something more but can’t quite get the clarity you need. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck or unfulfilled but can’t put your finger on the solution. If so, this is the episode for you.

As it turns out, our intuition can guide us to our truest callings and deepest desires. That’s why I’m excited to bring you this episode all about how creating alignment in your physical space can make room for mental, emotional, and spiritual alignment as well. It’s all in the power of Feng Shui.

Now, I wasn’t really sure if I was a believer until I sat down with Kate MacKinnon, a certified Feng Shui practitioner. Hearing her story, what she does, and how she uses physical changes in her client’s space to transform their lives totally shifted my perspective.

This episode covers the basics of Feng Shui, explaining why you should implement it in your life and how it can open the doors for life-changing transformation. From client success stories to tangible tips for getting aligned in your space (at home or on the road), this episode will have you believing in this powerful practice too.

This episode begins with Kate taking us way back, outlining the journey that led her to pursue her passions of Feng Shui full-time (despite a successful corporate career). While this episode offers insight into the power of Feng Shui, it also serves as a reminder of the importance of following your instincts and pursuing your passions.

For Kate, that passion was helping others achieve balance and alignment through rearranging their physical space. Follow along as we discuss the principles behind the practice and how our external environments reflect our inner truths. (Is your mind blown yet?). Kate details why Feng Shui works to help her clients (and how it can help you, too). Her services have led to clients landing dream gigs, achieving new levels of wealth, and finding more happiness.

You know I’m all about helping you take action and make positive changes in your life. That’s why I ask Kate to share tips for how you can bring Feng Shui to any space you are in, whether it’s at home, work, or on the go. The best part? These tips are pretty simple! As it turns out, small and simple changes can lead to big results. It’s all about creating a space that makes space and energy for you to step into your most authentic self.

I’ve always known alignment is vital to long-term success and happiness, and after this conversation, I was so ready to have Kate come into my house and work her Feng Shui magic. Give it a listen, and I’m sure you will be too.

In this episode…

[02:30] Welcome, Kate! Learn how resilience and desire paved the way toward her success.

Quotes:

“It’s important [to remember] how instinctual we are and how that can actually lead us in the direction we're meant to go.” -Emily Williams

“Our homes actually reflect the choices we make. Our homes are a map of who we are. The choices we make in our external environment actually reflect what's going on internally.” -Kate MacKinnon

“I think it's really important to follow what feels right for you. When I'm working with people, I give guidelines. I don't always say, ‘Do this exact thing, and it has to look this way,’ because I really believe people know. So it’s about creating that space because it feels good.” -Kate MacKinnon

“Sometimes we're scared, and we think fear is the reason why we shouldn't do it. I've learned in my own experience that fear is a reason why I should do it because it's the thing that I really want.” -Kate MacKinnon

“Desire is just leading us towards more life.” -Emily Williams

What if I told you self-pressure was getting in the way of achieving your biggest dreams? The truth is, when we bully ourselves into fear and guilt, we thwart our potential. Instead of lighting a flame of inspiration, we run the risk of crashing and burning.

There’s no doubt that creating change and reaching new levels of success comes with its challenges. However, the most successful people are the ones who find clarity around their purpose and commit to their vision. They’re the ones who are motivated to keep going, even when times are tough. The ones who care enough about finding the solution don’t let any problems stand between themselves and their dreams.

Far too often people live their lives filled with fear and stress instead of hope and inspiration. Instead of getting one step closer to living a life that’s better than our dreams, we’re too caught up in belittling ourselves for problems we have yet to overcome. That’s why I was excited to have my husband and Certified High-Performance Coach James Williams on to host this special episode of the IHML show all about mastering the art of self-motivation.

As it turns out, the way you approach problems and challenges sets the stage for your success. That’s why it’s imperative to approach self-motivation with positivity and care rather than bullying and fear. Listen as James explains why (and how) you should shift the way you look at and approach problems. James views problems as opportunities and explains why worrying isn’t how to approach problems (and reveals what to do instead).

James reveals why the way you talk to yourself matters in a big way (and plays a role in your outcomes) and how having a clear purpose can be your guiding light to your success. Whether you realize it or not, every word you say aloud or think to yourself plants the seeds for your future. How? The subconscious mind is always listening. Therefore, as James describes, you must plant the right seeds that will allow your dreams to bloom and flourish.

If you are someone who finds yourself getting caught up in negative self-talk or the stresses of self-pressure, don’t worry. James guides you through steps you can take to rewrite the script on how you approach any problems standing between you and your biggest dreams. He offers strategies you can begin implementing in your daily life so you can not only achieve the results you want but enjoy the journey along the way.

Remember, you are capable of great things. You deserve to live a life that’s better than your dreams. It’s time you start talking to yourself like you believe it. Listening to this episode is a great place to start.

n this episode…

[02:26] Why the way that we speak to ourselves matters.

[05:04] We were taught to be motivated by fear.

[09:14] Instead of worrying about problems, care about the solution.

[13:24] You need to become aware of how you speak to yourself.

[15:04] The dangers of self-pressure.

[16:22] Getting clear around your purpose.

[20:43] The steps to mastering the art of self-motivation.

Quotes:

“If we worry about our problems, we're using up a ton of mental energy that's not going into solving the problem. Instead, it's creating a stressful state, and it's actually denying us the fuel and the creativity to come up with the solution to solve the problem.” -James Williams

“[If] you ask yourself a question like, ‘can I do this? Is this possible for me?’ Your subconscious is going to give you the answer from the library of responses and language that you've been using to give you an answer back. So let’s start recording language that is inspiring and encouraging us to move forward. ” -James Williams

“Self-motivation isn't a strategy that you can write down and learn in a book. Self-motivation is you being the mentor or coach for yourself. It’s you recognizing that you're going to be with yourself for the rest of your life. And how you speak to yourself, how you overcome challenges, and how you move through struggle is recorded and will determine your results.” -James Williams

“If you've even begun a journey of development or progression, you obviously believe there's something within you that can create a life and a business or a situation that is so wonderful. Stick with that thought, inspire yourself to be successful, and care enough to solve all of those problems that have wonderful solutions on the other end of them.” -James Williams

There are few things as powerful as a woman with a dream– if she chooses to step into the vision and make that dream a reality. That’s exactly what Hannah Nieves did (and continues to do). Hannah is the owner of very successful marketing, branding, and PR agency. The most impressive part? Her business has seen massive growth in a mere few years. Hannah is a remarkable example of what is possible when you step into your purpose and stake a claim in your big dream.

Her story going from climbing the corporate ladder to paving her own path in the online business space is both relatable and inspiring. She has an abundance of knowledge and insight to offer to anyone considering taking the leap into entrepreneurship, looking to build an online business, or increasing their brand’s online presence. I was thrilled to sit down and chat with her about everything from navigating the early days of starting and growing an online business to scaling a luxury brand beyond her wildest dreams.

For starters, Hannah admits she is no stranger to burnout. I know many passionate and hard-working visionaries can relate. Luckily, Hannah shares why both committing to your vision and setting boundaries are a must when you’re building your business. From establishing a strong foundation to leading with your values, we discuss how to plant the right seeds for a successful business.

Perhaps one of the most incredible aspects of Hannah’s story is how quickly she was able to rise to success. Listen as she explains how integrity, compassion, and white-glove service have played an imperative role in her fast growth. Together, we unpack the true meaning of a luxury brand and why customer experience should be of the utmost priority. By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to implement the best practices of a luxury brand into your business.

Now, I know so many female entrepreneurs struggle to keep up with the ever-changing world of social media. That’s why I ask Hannah to share her top tips for strong social media content and strong engagement. Listen as she explains why you shouldn’t post just to post (and what to do instead). We discuss everything from TikTok to Instagram and how to utilize reels to your advantage. We cover how to increase your audience engagement because, as Hannah explains, engagement is key.

From building your brand to stepping into the world of marketing and PR, this episode covers it all. We even touch upon the mindset shifts that played a significant role in opening the doors of abundance for Hannah and her business. All in all, this episode serves as a reminder of what is possible when you commit to your dreams. Hannah followed her desires, found incredible success, and will only continue to rise.

The best part? This path to success is possible for you too. So grab a pen and paper and get comfortable. You’re going to want to take notes as you listen to this one.

In this episode…

[02:24] Welcome, Hannah! Learn about her journey to entrepreneurship.

[06:55] Hannah shares her advice for avoiding burnout (the importance of setting boundaries).

[09:35] Navigating the journey of building the right team.

[11:49] Hannah’s secret to fast business growth of a luxury brand.

[14:47] Tips for strong social media content and strong engagement.

[17:42] Why you shouldn’t post just to post (and what to do instead).

[18:58] Getting started building your brand and stepping into the world of PR.

[21:20] Climbing the corporate ladder vs. the world of online entrepreneurship.

[24:24] How and why Hannah brought white-glove service to her online biz.

[27:54] Hannah reflects on her success over the past few years (including the money mindset shift that allowed her to step into abundance).

[33:37] Hannah’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“There really is no shutting off [as an entrepreneur]. You have to decide that you're going to shut off. Just setting clear boundaries was by far the most helpful piece of this whole journey.’ -Hannah Nieves

“I knew the impact I wanted to have on my audience and with my clients. And I knew the way that I wanted to show up. I just didn't know what it was, but I always let that guide me throughout the way.” -Hannah Nieves

“It's not just the thing that you're sending the gift, but it's about the whole experience and making sure that your clients know that you care. People often start businesses with the goal to bring in income, because of course, they want to keep the business going. The client experience is kind of an afterthought.” -Emily Williams

“I've been studying different Instagram story tactics, but the biggest thing is putting out good content. [It’s not] quantity. If you can't post five days a week, that's fine. Just make sure your content drives engagement with your audience.” -Hannah Nieves

“Dig a little bit deeper into your brand and how you want to be portrayed. You can get so caught up with all the beautiful, shiny marketing tactics out there. Funnels, email marketing, and opt-ins are so important but set the framework of your brand first before you start to dabble in all the other things.” -Hannah Nieves

Are you looking to scale your business or grow your team as you step into your big vision? If not, spoiler alert! Because these are often necessary steps to take to achieve the ambitious goals you have for your life and business. However, these steps aren’t without their growing pains. I see it all the time; people face new fears, doubts, questions, and even guilt as they hire more team members and level-up as the CEO of their company.

That’s why I’m sharing this real-life coaching session with Christen Schneider. Christen is one of our amazing I Heart My Life Mastermind students who owns and runs a marketing consulting agency. As she looks to bring her growing business and team to new heights, she knows she must move through a few insecurities and roadblocks first. Follow along as I guide her through the mindset shifts and actions needed to gain clarity and relieve major stressors to move forward with her plans as an unstoppable CEO.

Listen as we work through Christen’s need for support in dealing with the fears and doubts that many experience when it comes to relinquishing control (and guilt) while scaling a business. We discuss the importance of going against the grain and defining the role you want and need to take on in your company in order to get closer to your big vision. Listen for the strategies I offer to help relieve some of the guilt and doubt encountered along the way.

Christen opens up about the guilt she feels as a CEO and her struggle understanding what is fair in business. We work through those feelings, identifying where her guilt comes from and how she can turn that guilt around to understand the hard work and value she brings to the business. It’s also a great reminder for any entrepreneur that just because you created the company doesn’t mean you have to do everything.

We also uncover her fears surrounding money mindset and the responsibilities of taking on a team. One of Christen’s biggest stressors comes from the responsibility of paying her team. As we discuss her fears, she comes to the understanding that money shouldn't be tied to worth. Instead, there is such power in shifting our mindset toward gratitude when it comes to expenses like payroll or bills. I spend a lot of time expressing the importance of being thankful and providing strategies to help shift her mindset when approaching such costs and pain points.

While this session revolves around Christen’s needs and concerts, this episode is filled with tangible takeaways you can apply to your life and business. I’m excited to share some of my best strategies and tips that you too can use to help you shift your mindset as you adjust to the transformation needed to be in the level of leadership you desire.

The bottom line is this episode covers strategies to work through so many relatable pain points for anyone looking to scale their business and level-up as a CEO. So, if any of this resonates with you, be sure to give this one a listen.

P.S. Inspired by Christen’s breakthroughs and feel like this level of support is exactly what you need as you scale your biz? Learn more about the I Heart My Life Mastermind or book a call with us today to determine if it’s the next step you need to take as you step into your big vision.

In this episode…

[02:26] Welcome, Christen! Learn about her marketing consulting agency.

[04:55] Christen shares where she needs support in growing her business and team.

[08:02] Going against the grain and defining the role you want.

[11:54] I remind Christen of the importance of relinquishing control as she builds her business.

Quotes:

“Not everyone can be a business owner or wants to be a business owner. You're giving them an opportunity to be a part of something really special and to do this work [without] having to deal with all the stuff that you have to deal with as CEO and owner of the business.” -Emily Williams

“Focus on what is going to be coming back, not just what's going out. [Express] gratitude for being able to have these people on the team [who are] committed to your vision because they could work elsewhere.” -Emily Williams

“I need to grow into the image of that big vision and accept that not only is it possible and is it what I want, but it's a good thing. And it's okay.” -Christen Schneider

“It's time for you to give back to yourself. That reward, celebration, and focus on joy are what's going to inspire you to keep going. If we keep piling things on and never recognize what’s changed, it's very challenging to envision that things could be different. We’ll keep using that hard work as our reward.” -Emily Williams

Quotes:

“Sometimes [as visionaries], we pivot really quickly, and we forget that it's not just us in the company anymore. And so we need to let people know that this is actually happening.” -Emily Williams

“Being that I am [future me], what would she do? And it really just closes the gap between [the two versions of myself] because from where I am now and where she is, the only thing in the middle is the action that I've yet to take. And so I began asking myself what would six-figure-Jenelle do? And I did those things.” -Jenelle Augustin

“We think it's about another strategy or a marketing tactic. And you know, of course, those things are important, but often it's all within us already. We just need to get out of our own way.” -Emily Williams

“I had to stop agreeing with the things that made me feel safe because what I wanted is outside of my realm of safety. It's not what I've ever experienced before. It's not what anyone I personally know has experienced before. So I have to be the one who goes out and gets it.” -Jenelle Augustin

I’ve been patiently waiting to share this episode with you all because James and I are revealing some exciting news: we’re finally building our dream home! This will be the first home either of us has ever owned. It’s a big deal, and we’re so excited. However, that doesn’t mean the decision was necessarily easy.

Let’s face it. Decision fatigue is real. The truth is, buying or building your first home is just one of several big (and sometimes overwhelming) decisions that you might face in your life. So whether you’re buying your first home, starting your own business, changing careers-- whatever that big decision is in your life-- we wanted to share the process of how we moved past indecision and overwhelm to make a choice that feels right. We hope you can use our story and the realizations we had to help you move forward toward one of your dreams.

James and I have moved around quite a bit, so deciding where we would settle down was not a decision to take lightly. Follow along as we give the backstory about where we thought we wanted to live and how we came to realize it was no longer the best place for us to take root. Instead, it took me opening my mind and getting clear around my desires to allow me to realize the perfect location (you’ll have to listen to find out where).

Truthfully, we were both surprised with where we ended up buying but are confident in (and excited about) this next adventure. This was just another reminder that life is full of surprises and opportunities knock when you keep an open and abundant mind.

In this episode, we walk you through the three-day process that led us to say yes to our house, including how disappointment helped us clarify what we ultimately wanted.

So, maybe you’re facing a big decision in your life or business. Listen for our advice about making big decisions without drawing them out and why it’s important to have an open mind as you explore your desires. There’s so much trust involved in saying yes (or no), and that can be really hard when you’re not clear on your desires. So, we talk all about letting your feelings and intellect work together to guide you to the right answer for you.

We’re beyond thrilled for this next chapter and can’t wait to share the journey with you. With that said, we hope this episode can serve as a reminder that anything is possible for you in your life and business when you open your mind to possibility and let your desires pave the way.

In this episode…

[02:44] The backstory (and why this is such a big deal).

[05:54] Stepping into the big vision before we get there.

[08:53] How we weighed the decision holistically.

[14:55] Opening my mind led to a shift that revealed the perfect location.

[20:46] Getting to know our new city.

[24:02] Why you should pay attention to disappointment.

[29:10] How we were able to make a decision in just three days.

[32:38] The difference between being in alignment and making assumptions.

[37:58] What we’re looking forward to most about our new home.

[40:47] The journey continues… stay tuned!

Quotes:

“Without realizing it, we utilized the wheel of life and got really clear around what was actually important to us and what was going to contribute to the holistic life that we wanted to live.” -Emily Williams

“[Disappointment] is a good emotion to pay attention to. We talk about guilt or envy quite a lot and how we can listen to [all] those emotions because they're telling us something about what we desire.” -James Williams

“Sometimes I think when things happen with ease, it’s a sign that you're headed in the right direction because you're not forcing it, and you're not making it harder than it needs to be. It's like the doors just open for you, and it feels aligned.” -Emily Williams

“Who knows what the future holds? But if we're always paying attention to those feelings and keeping ourselves in a place of drive and inspiration and setting ourselves up for success, then that's abundant thinking.” -James Williams

Entrepreneurship can be hard work (but it’s also totally worth it). Over many years of working with entrepreneurs and talking with a plethora of industry experts, I’ve discovered that two roadblocks often stand in the way of fully reaping the benefits of entrepreneurship, battling entrepreneurial poverty, and not fully stepping into their zone of genius. The good news? If either of these resonates with you, you can overcome both challenges with the right mindset shifts and actions.

One of the people I admire most regarding both of those topics is Mike Michalowicz. Mike has an impressive entrepreneurial past (becoming a self-made millionaire in his early thirties), having created and sold several businesses. He has since switched gears and now spends his days writing amazing books aimed at eradicating what he calls entrepreneurial poverty. Having read all of his books and witnessed the powerful message he delivers on a stage, I know he has so much insight and wisdom to offer the IHML community. I was thrilled to have him join me for this episode, and I can’t wait for you to give it a listen.

Follow along as Mike walks us through his journey from entrepreneur to author, including the bankruptcy (and piggy bank) that planted the seed for change in his life by illuminating the path toward his true calling. Having learned from his past mistakes, he is now on a mission to eradicate entrepreneurial poverty by helping entrepreneurs understand the foundational elements of running successful businesses. I’m telling you, there’s so much to learn from Mike.

Mike believes there is a fundamental flaw in how most entrepreneurs view profits and, therefore, explains how you can build a system that channels your habits and the results you want. So, listen as we talk about his behavioral approach to cash management, a method he calls Profit First. He shares the method’s basic principles and reveals the first steps you can take to begin implementing Profit First in your business ASAP. Be sure to listen for the part when he reviews the five foundational accounts we should all have to build strong habits around properly distributing profits. For those of you who struggle with debt in your business, he shares his advice regarding paying that off with profits too.

The episode continues as we dive into the importance of working in your zone of genius within your business. Follow along as we talk about how you can (and why you should) remove yourself from your business’s day-to-day operations and step into your true zone of genius. For Mike, that means going into full-blown author mode-- and it’s done wonders for him and his various businesses. As it turns out, there are three elements of making this transition. Don’t worry. You can hear all about them when you tune into this episode.

So grab your notebook, find a comfortable seat, and get ready to dive in.

P.S. Don’t miss my episode with one of Mike’s incredible business partners, Adrienne Dorison, where we discuss all the things regarding how to run your business like clockwork, so you can confidently step away (vacation, anyone?) without worrying about all the things. Listen to the episode here.

In this episode…

[03:19] Welcome, Mike! He shares his journey from entrepreneur to full-time author.

[06:08] How bankruptcy led Mike to discover the profit first method.

[09:50] Basic principles of Profit First and how you can begin implementing the method in your business.

[13:48] Mike’s advice on handling debt.

[18:12] Mike talks about how his ideas became books that became businesses.

[20:50] How to live in your zone of genius in your businesses (3 elements).

[24:29] Why you need to check your ego and step into your zone of genius.

[26:00] Hear what’s next for Mike and his businesses (psst… a new book!).

[27:54] Mike’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“I was always talking about the revenue that we made, but never really thinking about profitability and what I was paying myself. I thought it was good for me to pay myself as little as possible, not really recognizing that was detrimental to my mental health. I was putting in all of this effort and not thinking about what I was actually making.” -Emily Williams

“The big thing is not to change who we are. It's to build a system that channels who you already are [to help] get the results we want.” -Mike Michalowicz

“The day will come. I don't know if it's six months or six years, but the day will come that all that [debt] is eradicated. You keep chipping away at it with this profit account. Then the next profit distribution is all yours. It’s a glorious day. And the beautiful thing is you built a profit habit.” -Mike Michalowicz

“I used to call myself an entrepreneur, and I love that word, but it is also associated with hustle and grind, doing everything-- which is a horrible association. Our job is to create a vision and to organize resources, [and then] to make that vision a reality. It's not to work like animals for anybody. So, I changed my title to ‘shareholder.’” -Mike Michalowicz

What if I told you that indecision just might be the culprit behind why you’re feeling stuck or unfulfilled in your life or business?

It’s true.

Now, what might really surprise you is that your indecision likely stems from a lack of trust in yourself. Think about that for a moment. How many times have you been stuck between yes and no until the opportunity passed you by and it was too late? How many times have you worried about maybe making the wrong decision that you neglect to make any decision at all?

In this episode, I let you in on a little secret: There’s no such thing as a wrong decision. I know it might sound crazy, but I invite you to listen as I explain why making a decision and taking action is far better than staying in decision-making limbo. It’s far better than staying stuck or playing it small.

The truth is, the mere act of making a decision shows yourself that you trust what you’re doing. That you believe in yourself and your desires. Otherwise, you spend too much time worrying about what may or may not happen instead of taking control and taking action. In doing that, you surrender your power over to the emotions of fear, doubt, and overwhelm. As these emotions grow, your desires are forced to take the backseat, and you’re kept from fulfilling your purpose. Yes, indecision can actually prevent you from doing the thing you are meant to do. Maybe you wish to run a business, write a book, or speak on stages across the globe. Whatever it is, you have to trust in the decisions you make to get you there.

Luckily, there are ways to build trust in yourself and take your power back. Listen as I share the simple (yet effective) method I use to move past my fears, make decisions, and take action based on my true desires. Follow along as I break down the method into three simple steps, providing the exact questions you can ask yourself along the way to help begin removing the fear and get closer to what it is you truly want. This episode is full of advice to help you stay in the driver’s seat of your life.

Not only do I share personal stories of decision making and how following my heart has led to incredible things in my life (like this business), but I provide ways you can begin practicing this in your life ASAP. I really wanted to focus on using hypothetical examples that were highly relatable to help you identify the fears that may be coming up for you as you are faced with big decisions in your life and business.

I believe you are capable of great things. I want you to go after your big dreams with determination and confidence. So, I encourage you to not only press play on this episode but also to take action. And if you know that making decisions isn’t one of your strong suits, don’t stop at listening to this episode. Start implementing my decision-making methodology in small ways in your life today.

In this episode…

02:29] Why you need to hone in on your decision-making skills as a business owner.

[06:25] Indecision is a result of lacking trust in yourself.

[09:00] Our truth is really in our desires.

[10:28] The simple decision-making method starts with identifying your fear.

[14:19] Overcoming the fear of not being good enough.

[16:09] The final step? Taking action.

[17:42] Tips for practicing trusting yourself, making decisions, and taking actions in your life.

Quotes:

“We have to first get really good at making decisions for ourselves before we can help others to be able to get to that yes or no [on a sales call].” -Emily Williams

"Successful people make decisions quickly as soon as all the facts are available and change them very slowly, if ever. Unsuccessful people make decisions very slowly and change them often and quickly.” -Napoleon Hill

“Our truth is really in our desires. Unless we clear out all the doubt, the fear, the worries, the confusion, we're not going to get to the root of what we actually want. Our desire is the compass towards our purpose.” -Emily Williams

“Fear, doubt, and worry win when you don't take action.” -Emily Williams

So many women enter the world of entrepreneurship with the idea of more freedom in mind. Maybe it was a yearning for financial freedom, creative freedom, or overall freedom that got you here. Now, I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in your business so much that the idea of stepping away for a few weeks of vacation seems impossible and that freedom seems out of reach. I’ve been there. Maybe you are craving that freedom of more time, a vacation, or even doing more of what you love in the business but are stuck because your operations feel entirely reliant on you. If so, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

When you run a business, it’s easy to feel like it can’t operate without you there. The truth? It can. That’s why I was excited for the opportunity to have my friend and brilliant operations expert, Adrienne Dorison, join me on the show. Adrienne is the CEO and co-founder at Run like Clockwork and works with clients all around the world to help them achieve that sense of freedom that so many crave. Her goal for all her clients is to have them confidently take a four-week vacation away from their business. Now, that might sound crazy, but it is doable. Whether you are taking a vacation, stepping away on maternity leave, or just dealing with something unexpected that life throws at you, Adrienne believes it’s vital that your business can run without dependency on you.

It’s all about systematizing your business and putting processes in place so your business and the daily operations no longer fall 100% on your shoulders. In this episode, Adrienne offers her top tips so you can start thinking about how to apply this approach in your business ASAP. Follow along as Adrienne and I dive into her story of becoming an “accidental entrepreneur” and discuss the approach she uses with her clients to leverage their zone of genius (while leaving the rest to their team). We touch upon the importance of viewing your role in your company as one that can (and will) evolve so you can operate more in your zone of genius and do more of what you love.

The truth is, you don’t have to be (and shouldn’t be) the one doing everything. So, we also get into the power of a team and how it’s important to find the right people to train to run different aspects of the company (because automation isn’t always the answer). It’s important to know when to step away from a certain role or responsibility and accept that someone else can take over the role (with proper training and skills) without diminishing your brand. For those of you wondering if it is possible to step away from a personal brand, we cover that in detail too (hint: it is possible).

Full disclosure, I'm not a natural systematizer, nor am I obsessed with operations, but I have come to see the value of it in my own life and business. So, if freedom feels like a far-fetched fantasy for you in your business, be sure to listen to this episode. And get ready to take some notes because, as it turns out, that freedom isn’t as out-of-reach as you may think.

In this episode…

03:02] Welcome, Adrienne! Hear her story of how she became an “accidental” entrepreneur.

[07:47] Learn what Lean Six Sigma is (and how it can help small businesses).

[09:24] Adrienne discusses her partnership with Mike Michaelowicz (and how they both work in their own realm of genius).

[16:11] Hear why it’s important for your role in your business to evolve.

[21:07] Removing yourself from the business makes it more valuable (hear why).

[21:58] How to take time off successfully (without your business suffering).

[26:03] Can you still step away from your business if it’s a personal brand?

[31:59] Hear what Adrienne is looking forward to in 2021.

[34:35] Adrienne’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

[36:18] Hear how the I Heart My Life Mastermind can help you scale your business and achieve the freedom you’ve been craving.

Quotes:

“I realized that I don't have to be the one doing it. I just need to find the people who I can train and who have amazing skillsets to give our clients the results and the information that they're looking for.” -Emily Williams

“I'm a big advocate of automation of certain things, but there are only so many things that you can automate. Your business does need people to help run it at a certain point. You need to make sure that you're open to other people supporting you, and start to slowly transfer those tasks off of your plate so that you can be prepared for taking time off.” -Adrienne Dorison

“If you don't want to bury the art or carry the burden of always being the voice, then you can have other people step in and do that over time. Just have stronger brand frameworks, brand elements, and pillars that people can talk about that still makes sense for the brand. If you're not clear on those things first, it will be very challenging for other people to step in and start talking about things or for other people to trust them.” -Adrienne Dorison

“That's always my approach with clockwork. It was like, what is your vision? What feels best? And then let's reverse engineer it and figure it out. There's always a way.” -Adrienne Dorison

“There's a reason why my company is called I Heart My Life. It's not just about the business. It's about all the other components as well. And to just be behind the computer day after day and not doing anything else, that's not exactly why we started this in the first place.” -Emily Williams

Clockwork: Design Your Business to Run Itself

View Details

I can’t believe I’ve been running I Heart My Life for seven years now. In retrospect, this business was the best thing that could have come out of a quarter-life crisis. I went from feeling lost and unfilled to full of purpose and passion. I’m so blessed to love what I do for a living, and I never want to take that for granted.

From having the opportunity to help women around the world to being in control of how and when I work, there are countless reasons why I love running a coaching business. And I know there are so many people who have considered embarking on the journey of creating a coaching biz of their own.

So, I wanted to share some of my favorite aspects of running my business with those of you considering taking this path. If you’re already a coach or business owner, don’t write this one off. Instead, use it as a reminder of all that we have to be grateful for in these roles we have.

Follow along as I reveal my top 10 favorite aspects of running this business. There’s way more than 10, trust me. But we’d be here all day and night if I tried to list out every single thing that I love about what I do. Listen as I discuss everything from channeling my creativity and love for writing to the biggest freedoms and rewards that come with the job. I talk about the unexpected comfort I found in connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs and explain how running my own business has opened the doors for endless opportunities for wealth (and how it can do the same for you).

Now, I don’t want to be misleading here. There are most certainly times when I’m stressed, working too much, or feeling like I don’t know what the heck I’m doing. That’s human nature (and par for the course in any industry). But that’s another reason why I wanted to record this episode. Maybe nothing is perfect, but I hope this can be a reminder for you to take time to acknowledge all that you are grateful for, especially in the moments where you’re filled with doubt, frustration, or uncertainty. Last but not least, I hope this serves as a reminder of what is possible for you, too.

So, if you are an aspiring coach or business owner, I invite you to listen for the reasons that resonate most with your desires to enter the industry. As for any veteran coaches out there, I challenge you to write a list of what you love most about what you do.

I’ve always found that a bit of gratitude goes a long way.

Lots of love,

Emily xx

Quotes:

“The world truly does need more coaches. There are over 3 billion people online, so there are more than enough clients to go around.” -Emily Williams

“You can take something from every chapter that you've been living in, every chapter that you've experienced, and apply it to your coaching business. [Then] you can use that talent, use that trauma, use that challenge, and help people around the world.” -Emily Williams

“It really is true when they say your network is your net worth because other people have connections. Other people have clients and friends and family members who you don't have, and the more people you can connect with and the more people you can spread your message to, the bigger your business will be, and the faster it's going to grow. And what I've experienced is that people do genuinely want to help.” -Emily Williams

“When you develop the ability to sell and pair it with the right mindset and a positive way of thinking about money, you're unstoppable.” - Emily Williams

How many times do we let feelings of fear and overwhelm get in the way of stepping into our big dreams? While it may seem easier to give up or settle in the face of adversity, great things await on the other side. Remember, your dreams are not only meant for you, but they are possible. Take it from the lovely Florence Andrews.

Florence is a talented actress and budding mindset coach who swears by her life-elevating experience in my signature I Heart Coaching program. Joining this program helped pave the way for Florence to grow and prosper with not just one but two big dreams of hers.

So, I was excited to have Florence back on the show (you can catch my coaching session with her from her earlier days in the program here) to discuss how her life has transformed since beginning the program back in the early days of the pandemic. Since joining the program, she’s gone from unemployed and under-fulfilled to running a successful coaching business and snagging a role in her very first Hollywood film. Her transformation is truly inspirational, especially for anyone out struggling to put the pieces together to help make their dream come true.

Follow along as we dive into the significant strides Florence has made over the past six months in both her coaching and acting careers. Listen as she explains how her two dreams intertwine and how pursuing her passion for coaching actually opened doors in her acting career. She shares everything from how she landed her first paying clients to how mindset work has helped her level up not just as a coach but also as a mom, partner, businesswoman, and actress. Florence is a spectacular example of the power in showing up for and maintaining unwavering faith in your big dreams.

It wasn’t always smooth sailing, however. So, Florence reflects on the roadblocks she’s had to overcome to make her transformation possible. We discuss her journey with money mindset, including moving past her scarcity mindset and limiting beliefs regarding her finances instead of giving up her dream. There are so many valuable and eye-opening ah-ha moments in this episode that you can take and apply to your life.

Truthfully, this is one of my favorite episodes yet because Florence’s story is a powerful example (and reminder) of what is possible for you, too, if you continue to hold the faith and take action in the direction of your dreams.

P.S. Are you looking to experience a similar transformation? My signature I Heart Coaching program that helped Florence step into her space in the coaching world might just be what you’re looking for. Book a call with us today to learn if IHC is the right next step for you.

In this episode…

[02:27] Welcome, Florence! Listen as she shares the journey that got her to I Heart Coaching.

[08:43] Learn what finally pushed Florence to leap toward her dreams.

[12:00] Florence’s journey with money mindset. How IHC helped her work through her fears.

[16:44] Moving through victim-based fears and keeping the faith to attract success.

[19:45] Florence talks about landing her first paying clients.

[22:46] Coaching has transformed Florence’s life, allowing her to pursue both of her big dreams.

[26:20] The importance of showing up for and having faith in your big dreams.

[29:40] Hear more about Florence’s coaching biz and what’s in store for the future.

[34:18] Florence’s advice for living a life better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“That's how the universe works. It's like, do you really want this? Are you in full trust that this is meant for you? And if so, you’ve got to hold the faith until the very last moment.” -Emily Williams

“You have to hold the faith that your desires are meant for you and possible for you. That money is all around us. That it's coming to us, and it’s attracted to us based on what we're putting out into the world. We can either be that magnet, or we can repel it.“ -Emily Williams

“I think it's easy to think your [success] has to start from some grand funnel and this and that. I’m excited to start building a more consistent and automated side of [client building], but [your first clients] can come from just connecting with people on a one person at a time basis. Then you can go from there.” -Florence Andrews

“When you do this mindset work that is required for you to become a better coach and a better businesswoman, it requires you to just up-level as a person. It's an inner shift that affects everything.” -Florence Andrews

“It's so important to trust that when we have those inner pulls towards something, it means something. Don't throw it out. It's not irrelevant. It's not unrealistic. It's not frivolous. It's a sign that you're meant to listen to. And you're meant to heed, follow it and trust that it is trying to tell you where you're meant to be. Don't hold yourself back from that. It's all meant for you.” -Florence Andrews

Are you held back by fears, doubts, and insecurities when marketing yourself and your business? Despite what your doubts may tell you, there are people out there who need what it is you are offering. It’s your job to help them understand what you’re offering and how it can help them get the results they’re craving. Now, if the mere thought of putting yourself and your services out there for the world to see makes you feel pushy, sleazy, or simply uncertain, this episode is filled with actionable advice you’re going to want to pay attention to.

You won’t want to miss this inside look at a real-life coaching call with Natasha McDowell, a member of my signature I Heart Coaching program. Follow along as we dive into her biggest fears and insecurities when it comes to putting herself out there and marketing her (incredible) services. Truthfully, Natasha’s fears around her struggles with getting people to commit to purchasing her coaching packages are relatable for so many new coaches.

Listen as I reveal my best advice regarding the importance of understanding the value and results that your programs have to offer. You must believe in your product and be bold and direct about the results clients can gain from working with you. Now, I know that getting people to commit to an investment can be a challenge, but that’s why I explain that there is a return on investment regardless of what realm of the coaching space you operate in.

There’s no doubt that the coaching space is booming right now. So, I cover how to handle the doubt you may face when you see other people successfully offer the services you offer. Instead of letting it hold you back, you should use it as a sign that people are willing to pay for such services. As far as the competitors in the coaching space? I explain why you shouldn’t worry about them and instead focus on what you bring to the table.

Marketing doesn’t have to be a one-size-fits-all approach. After Natasha unpacks her fears about being direct when it comes to following up with clients, I remind her that it’s vital for coaches to feel aligned with their marketing strategy. That’s why I share some tips with Natasha about how she can use her intuition when marketing her services while still providing value to (and not being pushy with) potential clients.

As you listen, you can literally feel the shifts and breakthroughs Natasha has on the call. By the end, she walks away with more clarity and confidence around how to approach marketing her coaching services to her ideal clients. If that sounds like something you’d love to experience as well, you can start by tuning into this episode and listening for the advice and takeaways that resonate most with you.

Quotes

“You have to believe in what you're selling first and foremost, and you have to be crystal clear with people about what the results are that they can expect. A lot of times, people tiptoe around those results because they're worried about making guarantees or false promises. But your job is to think about the best-case scenario that you know your program can support.” -Emily Williams

“Whenever we believe that [the results] are not tangible enough, or people are probably going to just go off and do it on their own and not actually pay for the big package, it’s going to come across in the sales. You have to get yourself to the place where you're so confident about what it is that you're selling and the results [your clients can] expect if they show up and do the work.” -Emily Williams

“You touch people in a way that most people don't. And so you have to remind yourself and essentially sell to yourself on a daily basis that you are special and that your message needs to be heard. And that there are clients who can only hear what they need to hear from you because they'll resonate with you more than anyone else.” -Emily Williams

“I think it's important for me to know [what I need financially], but it's not the only reason. The main driver has to be the desire to genuinely offer people something with the intention of [not just] bringing them into the program, but doing it in a way that feels good to me too.” -Natasha McDowell

Quotes:

“I went from having a bit of a business that didn't have any structures to now knowing that I have a complete business with the foundation set up and I have a program organized and I have the confidence that I can really help people. It's been the biggest transformation of my whole life.” -Amy Bett

“I'm so thankful for the way that you have the program set up because it just builds on itself. By the time you actually get to the places where you're building the things and you're creating the programs, you've done all the mental mindset work to support you in making the best decisions for your business.” -Natalie Fox

“If you're going to invest in something, but not show up, don't bother doing it.” -Emily Williams

“Bet on yourself, because if you don't, then you get nowhere and then you don't know what's possible for, for yourself or your future or anybody that you're going to impact.” -Jada Hartfield

“Just do it. Just step through the fear. Own the fear. Walk through the fear because what is waiting on the other side of that is so amazing and beyond what you could possibly even think that it could be at this point in your life. And if you don't step through the fear, you'll be in the same place six months from now wondering, ‘What if?’” -Natalie Fox

How often does your mindset and attitude set the stage for what is to follow? The answer? All the time. We attract what we put out into the world, so whether we are talking about success, wealth, or abundance of any kind, we must be aware of how we are showing up. This episode serves as yet another reminder of just how true that is.

Join me for the sixth and final installment of my series reviewing Catherine Ponder’s influential book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. If you haven’t picked up a copy of this book yet, be sure to do so after listening to this episode. I’m telling you, this book can help you step into the transformation that will have you living your best and most prosperous life ASAP.

Follow along as I reveal just how big of a role persistence plays in prosperity. Ponder discusses how a person persistent in the perusal of their dreams is often the one who achieves them (and I couldn’t agree more). Remember, failure is success trying to be born in a bigger way and a sign that something grander is coming. That’s why I spend time explaining why it is crucial to break through habits of a failure mindset, making space for clarity as you move forward toward abundance with dedicated persistence.

Now, I also know that debt and money mindset are roadblocks for many people. So, I made sure to dig into Ponder’s theories surrounding debt, like why it’s important to know the reason behind the debt. I explain how your approach to (and emotions surrounding) debt in your life and business has a lot to do with limiting (or increasing) abundance in your life. For example, I share Ponder’s thoughts surrounding how the attitude you attach to your debts allows you to attract (or repel) the abundance needed to meet (and surpass) these financial obligations.

Frankly, it never ceases to amaze me just how powerful the mind is. It’s so powerful that it has the ability to heal. I wrap up the episode by revealing three steps you can take to tap into these healing powers. If you are someone who struggles with any health-related issues or desires to meet any health-related goals, this is a must-listen for you.

The bottom line is that there’s so much insight packed into each chapter of Ponder’s book. While I highly encourage you to go out and get your own copy of this incredible book, I also invite you to go back and listen to the first five episodes of this series (if you haven’t already). I’m telling you, this book changed my life. I know it has the power to change yours too.

Quotes:

“There's nothing halfway, lukewarm, or half-hearted about persistence. It is bold, daring, and fearless. It does not hesitate, but goes after what it wants and keeps plugging until it gets results.” -Catherine Ponder

“Sometimes failure is an indication of us needing to do something bigger. So, instead of believing that it means you need to stop, what if you shift that and actually look outside the box and allow yourself to go to the next level instead? What if what you're aiming for right now is not actually big enough.” -Emily Williams

“Perhaps one of the greatest barriers to freedom from indebtedness is fear and desperation. When they are overcome, you are on your way to financial freedom.” - Catherine Ponder

“So, the first step is to understand that your desire-- everything that you want-- is meant for you and is possible. And those desires inspire you to go to the next level, utilize your talents, step out of mediocre work, and become that next-level version of yourself. That's huge. And then your bank account can expand to reach your desires, and they can be in harmony.” -Emily Williams

The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity (Impact Books): Forces That Bring Riches to You

View Details

Feeling down about sales? Truthfully, it can be overwhelming putting yourself and your offers out there for others to see (and purchase). I totally understand your reservations here, and I want you to know that you are definitely not alone. I think about how many people have incredible offers sitting in their hearts, minds, or computers but who let their fears or uncertainties about sales keep them from sharing their value with others. This episode is a great way to remind you that it's not just about having something to offer, but you have to know how to sell it before you can start using whatever that thing” is to impact the lives of others.

So, this is a special episode all about sales, featuring my husband, James Williams. James is an impactful high-performance coach here at I Heart My Life. After he did this incredible training all about the secret to approaching sales with the I Heart Coaching students a few days ago, I knew I had to share it here, too. Sales is one aspect of business where entrepreneurs (especially coaches) are always looking for support. One of the (many) things I love and admire about James is his ability to break down this topic in a super simple way that has you feeling confident about your offer and guilt-free about putting it out into the world.

Now, if you are someone who struggles with sales or feels sleazy charging for your products or services, this is the perfect episode for you. In fact, when James first started in the industry, the ideas of sales made him uncomfortable. Now he understands how imperative sales are to the success and longevity of any business and, in this episode, he shares some of his best tips for approaching sales in your business.

Follow along as James explains why passion is at the heart of all successful sales. If you don’t believe in what you are selling, you can’t expect anyone else to believe (or invest) in it either. Luckily, in this episode, he reveals his entire recipe for successful sales. Whether you're showing up on Instagram, running a Facebook ad, or hopping on a sales call, he offers tangible advice that you can apply to your business and offers ASAP.

Listen as he explains how you need to believe in what you are selling before you can expect anyone else to believe in it, reminding us that we are always our number one client. He even guides you through a series of questions you can ask yourself as a checkpoint before you put the offer out there. He then goes on to explain how to find the sweet spot for your sales. It’s all about honing in on your product or service and identifying (and truly understanding) your ideal client. Lastly, he offers advice about the delivery of your sales, especially when it comes to how you are expressing your offer on sales calls.

You have to remember that your sales are about future value. If you continuously find yourself getting caught up in the stress of the moment of the sales call, remind yourself that you are there to offer a product or service that will make that person’s life better. There is so much insight to pull from this episode, but remember, it’s only as powerful as how you implement it in your business.

In this episode…

[04:23] Why you can stop feeling sleazy about sales.

[06:48] To be a good coach, you have to be a good salesperson (and vice versa).

[07:34] Believing in your offer is an essential component of sales.

[08:57] Finding the sales “sweet spot” for your product or service.

[12:00] Learn the importance of passion for your business and successful sales.

[15:50] Understanding your ideal client (how it helps you sell them what they want and need).

[20:54] Why you need to be able to explain the ROI.

[23:18] Why sales expression matters (and how you can practice it).

[27:55] A quick recap of the recipe for sales success.

Quotes:

“To be a business owner, no matter what level you're at and no matter what position you have, you have to know how to sell. “ -James Williams

“It's really easy to passionately talk about something you believe in, right? If you believe in something, you can sell it. So what does that tell you? You need to believe in what you're selling." -James Williams

“There's no trick here. Create something great. Believe it and sell it. That's simple.” -James Williams

“It's your job to explain the ROI. It’s your job to explain how the investment is a small percentage of the overall game. Not only financially, but internally with confidence, more choices and freedom, relationships, everything.” -James Williams

“Don't assume that they know what the ROI is because they might be just thinking of one little thing. They have no idea that, let's say you're a business coach, it's also going to allow them to feel confident and happy, which can improve their relationships and their health and how they show up and how they stand and what they wear and how they feel about themselves.” -James Williams

“Really explain the ROI, which means that before any sales calls, you want to be writing down and have a full description of all the benefits of your program. Everything that you can possibly imagine. And then you line up those benefits, with what you've learned about your client before you get on that call.” -James Williams

When's the last time you followed your gut instinct or let your intuition guide your decisions? What if I told you that following that feeling and embracing originality would open the door to your innate genius powers? (Because it would). Join me for part five of this six-part series as I dive into chapters 13 and 14 of Ponder’s incredible book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity, and reveal how you can start tapping into those genius powers today.

This episode focuses on the Prosperity Law of Self-Confidence and the influence of your intuition on your prosperity. Truthfully, I loved these chapters because I know that I wouldn’t be here running I Heart My Life today if I hadn’t taken the leap of faith and followed my intuition with confidence. I also know the challenges of showing up with unwavering confidence and bravely following our intuition (and, often, into the unknown). That’s why I’m excited to invite you to listen to this episode filled with insight that could literally change your life.

While it may seem obvious that there is a link between confidence and success, the good news is that we are all born confident and, with a shift in thought and action, we can return to that confidence as adults. This episode is filled with examples of how you can step into your confidence every day (even while you sleep). From reciting affirmations to practicing visualization, I walk you through some of Ponder’s pieces of advice for building your confidence.

But confidence is only a piece of the puzzle. I also dive into the power of intuition and creative imagination, revealing how you can utilize both as superpowers to help get the clarity that you're craving and, ultimately, help lead you down a more prosperous path. To help you understand how to do that, I share five simple steps you can start utilizing today to develop and use your intuition to help you achieve your big goals and desires.

While we’re often taught to be rational, in this episode, I invite you to stop denying your gut instincts and instead follow them. No prosperity will come from denying what you are feeling and what you are desiring. In fact, I explore Ponder’s thoughts regarding originality and how following your intuition allows you to tap into your innate genius powers.

Now, I recognize that there are so many factors that influence us daily, causing us to question or ignore our intuition, right? But that’s why I take time in this episode to discuss how important it is to practice and learn to trust our intuition. Intuition and fear can frequently be confused for one another. Again, practicing with your intuition can help you make that distinction and move forward with confidence.

Lastly, don't miss as I reveal five simple steps you can take to help unfold and reveal your intuition. The truth is, our intuition can go against common reasoning at times, but you have to trust that your intuition knows you and is guiding you down the right path and toward something more significant. As Ponder explains, the genius and successful people of the world follow their self-confidence and intuition without question. So why can’t you? (Hint: You can and you should).

P.S. Listen to hear your opportunity to save 15% on my signature I Heart Money course with the special promo just for podcast listeners. This is the course for you whether you are looking to transform your money mindset or make more money in your business. There is so much inside this course that can help you guide yourself, your team, or even your clients to creating more wealth. You deserve to live a life of abundance. You deserve to be fully satisfied. You deserve to be fulfilled. And that's what I Heart Money is all about.

In this episode…

[03:07] Chapter 13: The Prosperity Law of Self-Confidence (and how to build confidence in your sleep).

[06:10] Developing your confidence through affirmations and imaging.

[13:00] Using your confidence to call forth the good in others (and how it benefits you both).

[18:00] Chapter 14: Your genius powers for prosperity (understanding your intuition).

[21:42] How embracing originality opens the door to your innate genius powers.

[24:49] Why you should (and how you can) develop your intuition and not confuse it with fear.

[27:28] True accomplishment comes from daring to be different.

[30:20] How to open the door to intuition in 5 simple steps.

[34:52] Your intuition is ahead of you and is paving you a path toward your desires.

[37:35] Understanding your genius power of creative imagination (and how it can free you of negative thoughts holding you down).

[42:22] Why silence is necessary to listen to your inner promptings.

Quotes:

“One positive statement of good is more powerful than a thousand negative thoughts, and two positive statements of good are more powerful than 10,000 negative thoughts.” -Catherine Ponder

“Affirmations for yourself do not hypnotize you. Instead, they de-hypnotize you from thoughts of failure, which you have been habitually accepting before you realize the power of thoughts.” -Catherine Ponder

“You are equipped with genius powers. You are born with powers of the mind that are little recognized and little-used because our attention is regularly turned to the outer world of activities. We do not hear or heed the guidance of intuition.” -Catherine Ponder

“We need to actually get quiet to be able to hear our intuition. And I really think it comes down to you practicing and listening to your intuition because it's all about trust. If you trust yourself, even if your intuition is telling you something that sounds crazy, and if you've practiced and seen the results of trusting your intuition, then you don't doubt it.” -Emily Williams

“Through the help of divine intuition, all things are already at hand and ready to come forth as ideas, plans, methods of procedure and, in due time, happy results.” -Catherine Ponder

Storytelling is one powerful tool. To highlight just how powerful it can be, I was thrilled to have the incredible Tricia Brouk back for another episode of the I Heart My Life show. (She was last with us in Episode 18 which you can find here.) This time, she’s here to discuss how we all have the power to influence others with our story and, by doing so, leave a legacy behind. Tricia is an award-winning writer, producer, director, and esteemed speaking coach who I greatly admire for so many reasons. After listening to our conversation, I’m certain you’ll understand why.

Follow along as Tricia explains her journey from dancing on stage in New York to helping speakers on stage at events like TEDx, and how the latter opened the door for her to step into her passion of helping others find their voice and share their story with others. While she never imagined she’d end up in the coaching space (she admits she didn’t really know online businesses were much of a thing at first), Tricia details how she took a bold (and determined) leap of faith to step into her true calling and create a “new space” where she has been able to support an international audience of incredible speakers.

Tricia talks about everything from her new book that she literally wrote in one week (it comes out on April 27th) to what it truly means (and takes) to be an influential speaker who leaves a legacy in this world. Not only does Tricia share her experience writing her book in which she uses stories from her life to influence and inspire others, but she breaks down how you could approach writing your own book too (because you totally can). We also touch on the vulnerability involved in putting your story out there for the world to hear (or read), explaining why it is an imperative piece to the puzzle of influencing others.

At the end of the day, our stories are what connect us. Whether they are coming from a place of vulnerability, trauma, or success, they are an influential tool we can use to teach others. So, this is the episode for anyone with a desire to share your message with the world. No matter through which medium you wish to share your story and spread your influence (a podcast, a book, a course, a stage, whatever) you’ll want to make sure to listen to this one because our conversation highlights how you (yes you) can increase your influence as you grow in your business.

The bottom line is we all have a voice, and whether you’re talking on a stage or on the subway, it’s important to think about how we use it. This episode serves as a reminder that everyone, literally every single person, has a story to share. Tune in to our conversation to learn how you can start sharing your story today.

Are you ready? Let’s dive in.

In this episode…

[03:29] Welcome, back Tricia! She shares her journey on stage from dancer to speaker (and now coach).

[07:28] How her boldness and tenacity paved the way for her legacy.

[09:23] How Trica went from unconscious competence to conscious confidence.

[11:29] Everyone has a powerful message to share (and how to know when you’re ready to).

[16:07] Your story is meant to be heard by someone.

[18:34] Tricia shares her experience writing her book (and how you can do it too).

[26:43] Moving through the roadblocks of vulnerability.

[28:59] Hear about Tricia’s new book (and why you need to read it).

[31:46] The power of voice (even in everyday situations).

[34:12] How to get your hands on Tricia’s book (and why you should preorder now).

[35:15] How to approach sharing your story.

Quotes:

“When I stepped fully into who I was meant to be in the world and moved from being an unconscious competent to a conscious confident, I knew I was showing up in a way that is of service. And that my gifts are meant to have a much bigger reach.” -Tricia Brouk

“There are 7.8 billion people on this planet and as human beings, now more than ever, we understand how directly connected we are and that we are ultimately one. And when you share your powerful message and your personal story, you will reach the one person on this planet that you are meant to reach. And guess what? You can change and even save their life.” -Tricia Brouk

“It's so important now, more than ever, for people to understand that we need more leaders and we need more people stepping out and moving past the fear and speaking up and just being those guides for others who are maybe still too afraid to speak.” -Emily Williams

“We're all capable of more than we believe we're capable of.” -Tricia Brouk

If multiplying your current income by 10x sounds desirable to you, you’re in the right place.

I’m back with part four of my on-going series in which I share the knowledge and insights from the pages of Catherine Ponder’s incredibly inspiring (and life-changing) book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. The chapters I explore in this episode are especially juicy and offer life-changing advice for how you can create massive shifts in terms of money and wealth in your life and business.

Join me as I dive into the knowledge Ponder offers in chapters 10 through 12 and reveal why financial independence can be yours and just how to make it happen. I really want you to understand that this is possible for you. That’s why I share actionable steps you can take to literally 10x the amount of money you’re regularly bringing in (and it’s easier than you may think). In fact, I share 10 things you can do every day to welcome financial abundance into your life. I might as well have called this episode “the power of 10…”

With this episode, I want you to understand the power of positive and prosperous thought. I reveal what Ponder believes to be the key to financial independence (hint: It’s something we feel very strongly over at IHML). For those of you who’ve ever felt guilty for putting your desires first, I explain why it’s essential to focus your energy and emotion on those big desires (and why you need to make prosperous thinking a priority every day).

Not only does this episode go into Ponder’s technique for bringing more wealth into your thoughts (and bank account), but I remind you of the effects of the Law of Attraction. Remember, what you think, say, and do impacts your path to prosperity. That’s why I outline 10 steps you can take each day to be on your way to achieving the financial independence you desire. From removing uncertainty and doubts from your mind to building detailed mental pictures of where you want to be, these steps showcase how you can take control and start laying the foundation for your financial dreams to become a reality.

The chapters I review in this episode are just more proof of how incredibly powerful and life-changing your mind can be. I even explain how you can change an experience after it has already happened (but you’ll have to listen to hear how). And it’s not just about you, either. Listen to hear the role love, goodwill, relationships, and prayer play in achieving your dreams. Now, whether you are religious or not, Ponder’s views on the power of prayer in prosperity are worth the listen. In fact, prayer can mean a variety of things. So, I give you four types of prayer you can practice to help you get in touch with (and achieve) your rich desires and prosperity.

As much as I love this series, there is so much knowledge and potential to be experienced in this book that I can’t possibly cover it all. So, if you don’t have this book yet, you definitely want to get it. And don’t forget to go back and listen to the first three episodes of this series (if you haven’t already) and be sure to tune in for the next one!

P.S. Keep your ears open for the promo to save 15% on my signature I Heart Money course, the course designed to help you shift your money mindset so you can be on your way to creating as much wealth as you desire.

Quotes:

“The desire to be self-supporting and financially independent is a divine desire that has been implanted in the intellectual and emotional nature of man to help him progress, achieve and build a worthwhile life for himself.” -Catherine Ponder

“Your great good is as much yours before it becomes visible as it is afterward, but it's up to you to bring it into visibility” -Catherine Ponder

“Remind yourself often that if others have attained financial independence, so can you. What one has done, many can do. What can be done to a small degree can, with persistence, frequency, and earnestness, be done to an unlimited degree. It is up to you.” -Catherine Ponder

“We need to be paying attention to the mind and what we're feeding it. One of the ways to do that is by getting really quiet and actually paying attention and focusing on what it is that you want through meditation and silence. We're always so busy, and we don't actually pay attention to the thoughts running through our mind.” -Emily Williams

The world of online coaching is booming right now, but I’m finding a lot of new coaches making one of two mistakes. Either they’re not niching their offer and therefore not targeting a specific audience or they’re niching too much to the point where they are actually limiting future growth. Even worse? Some aspiring coaches get so hung up on the buzzword itself that they never move into the actual business creation.

Let’s avoid that, shall we?

There’s no doubt that figuring out your niche is a great way to get clear on your offers, target your ideal audience, and make it more obvious how you can serve them. The downside? It's a buzzword that can send people in a panic or leave them scratching their heads wondering how specific is too specific or, on the other hand, at which point does broad dilute a sense of expertise?

If you can relate to this challenge, keep reading (or better yet, go ahead and hit play on this episode). I recently recorded a live coaching session with one of our I Heart Coaching members, Amy Bett. Amy is a new coach who is already hitting $5k months in just 5 months with our program. As a woman with big ambitions and the desire to help other female business owners in their businesses, she is now looking at how to get to the next level. During our session, she brought up some great points that are relatable to new coaches in any realm of the industry. Specifically, Amy was looking for advice regarding if she should get more specific with her niche and if so, how to do so while also bringing in more revenue.

Follow along as I coach Amy through honing in on her niche by clearly identifying what she is selling and who she is selling it to. We dive into the pain points and desires of her current (and ideal) clients as well as her goals for them. From there, we chat about how to create the right program that addresses their needs and her desires. The truth is, the more specific you can get with your offers and your clients, the more you can establish your expertise. This is imperative to hitting those revenue goals you've been dreaming of. For Amy, I walk her through how she can be on her way to surpassing her current $5k months (and reach $50k months in no time).

We also discuss other common pain points for new coaches, from determining your price point with confidence to increasing your revenue with ease. And you know how much I love money mindset, so you can be sure that we touch upon a few tips for keeping your money mindset on the right track as your business grows too. So, if you’re just starting out in the coaching world and looking for guidance in terms of identifying your niche, determining your price point, and increasing your revenue, you don’t want to miss this one.

In this episode…

[03:07] Welcome, Amy! Hear how I Heart Coaching has helped Amy create her coaching business.

[06:41] Why you need to establish goals for your clients.

[08:36] Determining your ideal client and ideal program can help determine your niche.

[11:30] Your niche can naturally evolve (and that’s okay).

[13:10] Upleveling your offers to continue to meet your client’s needs.

[16:14] The importance of having a unique methodology.

[19:01] Steps to ensure you are nurturing your money mindset.

[21:30] How to approach raising your rates and 10x your revenue in one month.

[27:23] Laying the groundwork for achieving $50k months.

Quotes:

“So one of the things that I see sets coaches like you apart is having some sort of unique methodology, even if it's like, you know, a three-part a three-step process or something. So I would think, and you don't have to develop it today, but think about the current clients and kind of what is the process you're taking them through.” -Emily Williams

“We want to get clear on who you're speaking to and what it is that you're selling.” -Emily Williams

“I feel as though the underlying fear could have been me actually charging people for the services to help them. So maybe it wasn't getting the clients is the hard part. It's getting the paying clients, which is the hard part. But I haven't found that to be the case, especially now because I'm so clear and focused.” -Amy Bett

“Let's start focusing on the belief of ‘clients come to me effortlessly,’ ‘I'm charging whatever amount it is that you want to say, and clients will pay that,‘ ‘I get paid premium for my coaching packages.’ Whatever the mantras are that will help them mind you that those $50k months are available for you.” -Emily Williams

Get ready to dive into the next three chapters of Catherine Ponder’s incredibly powerful book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. This is part three of my on-going series in which I share the knowledge and insights from the pages of Ponder’s book that can literally change your life and have you stepping into your greatest, most prosperous desires.

This episode serves as a reminder that whatever you send out is what you are going to get back in this world. We’re all guilty of a little jealousy here and there right? Follow along as I dive into what that jealousy really means (and how it can actually reveal what is possible for you). In fact, the chapters I analyze in this episode are all about how your thoughts and attitudes surrounding wealth and prosperity of you and others can make or break your ability to attain it. That’s why I repeat so many powerful quotes and mantras that Ponder wrote that can help get money flowing into your life.

I love reiterating Ponder’s theory of how prosperity is not a race. Listen as I explain why haste toward your prosperous goals actually promotes fear and can actually plant the seeds for failure. Ponder believes that failure is simply an “installment toward victory” and I couldn’t agree more. So, instead of rushing to your goals, it’s important to find peace and gratitude in your current situation so you can then move forward (and toward prosperity).

I believe there is so much power in taking action. So, I reveal why you need to start adopting a prosperous attitude in your life pronto. The truth is, anything else leads to self-sabotaging your goals and big dreams by getting in the way of taking action toward them. People love to say your vibe attracts your tribe. Well, it turns out it attracts (or repels) money and prosperity too.

Now, one of the many things I am so aligned with Ponder on is how everything you do and say daily creates energetic patterns that can propel you toward (or block you from) that prosperity you desire. Money and wealth are there for the taking if and only if you are willing to do what it takes in terms of mindset, words, and actions to attract it. Truth be told, “being poor” isn’t a reality, but a frame of mind (that you can get out of with the steps I outline in this very episode).

For anyone out there who is feeling in a bit of a rut when it comes to their work and money mindset, I walk you through a three-point check to help you understand how you might actually be blocking prosperity from coming into your life. Additionally, listen for the tips and techniques that Ponder believes can have you trusting and stepping into what great prosperity is possible for you.

There’s so much power packed into these three chapters, I could have talked about them for hours. Trust me when I say you are definitely going to want to grab a pen and paper for this one. Honestly, my mind is still buzzing from all the thought-provoking takeaways. Remember, this episode is part of something much bigger. Be sure to tune into the next Dynamic Laws of Prosperity episode (and go back and listen to the first two if you haven’t already) to get the full value of this series.

Quotes:

“When you're looking to improve people's lives, they're going to unconsciously want to be around you if you are all about increase; increasing their health, increasing their wealth, increasing their happiness. And if you live a life in that way as well, they might not know what's drawing them to you, but it has to do with the law of increase.” -Emily Williams

“Hitch your mental image of prosperity to the rich star of success and keep it there.” -Catherine Ponder

“Thinking in the same way that everyone else thinks is easy and it's also useless. It also could be called lazy because we are trained to think in a certain way, but if you're looking to transform your life in your bank account, that's where you have to make an effort to really think in a different way. -Emily Williams

“Failure is nothing but success trying to be born in a bigger way. Most seeming failures are just installments towards victory.” -Catherine Ponder

Are you ready for that personal transformation that will help you step into your dreams? That will help you as you navigate the early stages of building or growing a business doing what you love? The wait is over, Lovely. I am so excited to share with you the insight and wisdom of the amazing Dr. Jay LaGuardia, health and wellness extraordinaire! Honestly, this might just be one of my favorite episodes yet. You don’t want to miss it.

Jay doesn’t hold anything back in this interview. He reveals how his traumas from his childhood reveal themselves in unpleasant ways in his adult life, nearly ruining his relationship with his wife and children and his business. He not only shares the moment he knew he needed to make a change but reveals the rather simple steps that he put in place to make that change. The best part? It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Jay has an incredible way of showing how making these shifts in your life can be rather easy for you to manage (after 30 years of doing it himself, he would know). He breaks down his advice in easy to manage pieces so you too can begin transforming your mindset, freeing yourself from the shackles of whatever thoughts and emotions are holding you back, and instead stepping into the vision of what you want and who you want to be. The steps he shares to help you unlock a total mindset (and life) transformation are ones that anyone (including you) can begin implementing in their own life right away.

Listen as he shares his first experiences with meditation (and how it clarified the steps he needed to take to live a better life) and discusses how regaining control over his emotions bettered his personal and professional life. Once he shifted his mindset, not only did his life at home improve, but his (already successful) business experienced a whole new level of growth. By telling his own story, Jay reveals five elements to strong leadership (and the mindset shifts it takes to implement them) that will help any business owner grow their team, foster trust, and improve company culture.

But this episode is about more than being a leader in your business. It’s about being a leader in your own life. Perhaps my favorite part of this whole interview is when Jay shares the four steps behind one-minute mindset shifts. This is a quick, yet highly effective exercise that can help you align your mindset with your vision in one minute. You read that right. Four steps. One minute. Total change. You can literally start doing this exercise as soon as you finish this episode and be on your way to taking back your power in your life so you can start living the life you’ve always wanted. Oh, and he doesn’t stop there. He also shares his five keys to living a happy and successful life.

This is the episode for anyone who is tired of being held back by their past, their emotions, or their mindset. So, if you are ready to step into the version of you that will allow your biggest dreams to become your reality, get ready to dive in, Lovely.

In this episode…

[02:08] Welcome, Dr. Jay! Follow along as he explains how his wellness journey began.

[07:06] Jay explains how his emotions were negatively impacting his life.

[09:00] How meditation and visualization opened the door for change in Jay’s life.

[17:10] Jay’s 5 top tips for leadership that can change your business. (He talks responsibility, vulnerability, and trust).

[19:37] Building your team? Follow these tips to ensure alignment.

[22:47] Jay describes what it takes to commit to a personal transformation.

[25:21] The three things Jay does every day to continue to commit to the transformation.

[28:22] Jay talks about goal-setting (and the mistake a lot of people make when setting theirs).

[30:50] There are three types of people in the world…

[32:28] Learn how to do one-minute mindset shifts!

[37:18] Hear about Jay’s inspirational business!

[43:06] Hear Jay’s advice for living a life that’s better than your dreams (5 keys to happiness and success).

Quotes:

“The world around us reflects us. If we don't like the world around us, we have to change [ourselves] before the world around us can change. And the honest thing is we're not really changing the external world. What we're doing is changing our perception of the external world and therefore the world shows up differently.” -Jay LaGuardia

“Success is not about just meditating at the top of a mountain. You actually have to take the action.” -Emily Williams

“When we shift our mindset from adversity to opportunity to solve problems, it completely changes the way we do business [and] the way we look at things.” -Jay LaGuardia

“Take care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, because you are an example to everyone around you. And when you show up your best, you inspire others to show up their best.” -Jay LaGuardia

Welcome to part two of this new series in which I dive into the life-changing knowledge inside of Catherine Ponder’s book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. This episode is all about making space in your mind and life for the prosperity you’re desiring. Join me as I dive into the next three chapters of the book (and three new Laws of Prosperity).

You know I’m all about the tangible takeaways, Lovely. So, get ready for me to share a super-simple process you can follow every day to help ignite the mindset transformation needed to step into prosperity in your own life and business. Even better? It only takes 15 minutes of your time dedicated to your desires each day. Totally doable (and I even share examples of incredible results this process can bring to life).

Additionally, I explain why getting clarity (and specific) around your desires is an essential first step to getting on the road to prosperity and how you can set yourself up for success with your desires (Hint: write them down). I discuss why planning met with consistent and intentional action and thought are imperative to prosperous living (and why giving your desires permission to change is a good thing).

The thing is, we have the power to impact our own lives. Life doesn’t have to happen to you. That’s why I review Ponder’s theory behind the power of imagining what it is you desire in your mind (yes, literally picturing it) and how your imagination and will work together to bring whatever that desire is into your life. It’s all about planting the seeds for expectation in your mind first so they can grow and show up in a very real way.

So, whatever your desires are, whether we’re talking about money or weight loss, the idea is the same here. It’s all about staying committed to the image you’ve created in your mind of what you truly desire so it can manifest in your reality (I’ve done this in my one life and can say it works). Why? Your mind produces what you think and visualize (I explain more in the episode).

Lastly, I reveal the final aspect of the three-part exercise in which you use your words to help bring your desires and prosperity to life. Words are more powerful than we give them credit, (and I have plenty of Poder’s examples to help illustrate just how powerful). The bottom line is that what you think and what you say matter just as much as what you desire. This episode is aimed at helping you understand how you can get in the right mindset and take the right actions to be on your way to prosperity ASAP.

Remember, this is only the second episode of this incredible on-going series. Be sure to tune into the next episode (and go back and listen to the first if you haven’t already) to get the full value and learn how you can start going after your dreams and welcoming prosperity today.

P.S. Be sure to listen for the promo to save 15% on my signature I Heart Money course. This course will have you on your way to impacting the world and stepping into your purpose (while creating room for the wealth you desire). Regardless of where you are in your business journey, this course has something to offer. Head over to our courses page on our website to get your access to this incredible course and all of its exclusive content and resources.

In this episode…

[03:13] Chapter 4: The Creative Law of Prosperity

[03:50] Getting clear on your desires (and why you need to write them down).

[07:54] What happens when we suppress our desires (and how to plan for them instead).

[11:06] Doing this 15 minutes a day can lead you to prosperity.

[13:31] Chapter 5: The Imaging Law of Prosperity.

[15:38] Why you need to have patience with your desires (rather than give up).

[23:44] Chapter 6: the Prosperity Law of Command (the power of your words).

[27:16] The power of affirmations.

[31:51] Identifying your defaults (so you can overcome them).

Quotes:

“Whether it's business building or mindset, we always start with desire because it's so important that you are clear on what it is that you actually want.” -Emily Williams

“The mind produces definite results only when it has been given definite ideas through which to work.”-Catherine Ponders

“What I learned in the very beginning of building I Heart My Life was that money loves purpose. So, I got super granular about what my desires actually were and what the purpose was for the money that I was saying I wanted.” -Emily Williams

“If we believe that we have power to impact our own lives, then that means we have power to impact it positively.” -Emily Williams

You know that feeling when you meet someone whose values you just totally align with? That’s how I felt when I met Jennifer Spivak. We both believe that when women go after their dreams and achieve financial success, the world can change. That’s what it’s all about, right? Finding that freedom, that passion, that purpose that can change not only your own life but the lives of others.

Jennifer has a truly inspiring story behind her business (and she shares it in more detail in this episode!). After escaping an abusive relationship herself (with the help of a fund she kept hidden from her abuser), she spent some time involved in advocacy work surrounding domestic violence. That’s when she realized that financial abuse created a roadblock for so many women trying to escape these relationships. Unlike her, they didn’t have access to a secret fund to help them escape their situation.

From that moment on, it became her mission to put more money into the hands of more women. And that’s exactly what she’s doing with her Facebook advertising agency. She has so much to offer in terms of insight into life, business, and chasing your dreams. Follow along as we dive into the story behind her women-centered business and her tips for aspiring (and current) business owners just like you.

Not only do we discuss her top tips for running Facebook ads, but we talk about essential aspects of entrepreneurship too, like why building a strong foundation is essential to any ad campaign and why setting boundaries is essential to your mental health. We talk about the importance of understanding what’s within your control (and letting go of what isn’t) when it comes to client success and why taking a holistic approach to business is best for long-term success.

For those of you just starting out or feeling burdened by the beginning stages of your journey? Jennifer knows that building a business from the ground up can definitely be overwhelming at times (that’s why she strongly believes in simplifying). So, she also explains how she uses her desires to drive her business and why she runs her business on the idea of working smarter, not harder.

The bottom line? Her story is inspirational. She is inspirational. What she has been able to do with her business is just incredible. There’s so much packed into our conversation regarding not just Facebook Ads but running a powerful, purpose-driven (and successful) business in general. Be sure to tune into my interview with her today!

In this episode…

[01:10] Welcome Jennifer! Hear her share the story behind her women-centered business.

[05:20] Why Facebook Ads? (And how she trained herself to be an expert)!

[07:17] Hear how she went from “the boys club” to creating a women-led agency.

[09:17] Listen as Jennifer describes the biggest lessons she learned when starting her agency.

[10:50] Jennifer talks about the importance of setting boundaries.

[15:34] What needs to be in place before you jump into the world of Facebook Ads.

[19:44] Jennifer discusses the mindset that allows her to work smarter, not harder.

[23:28] Hear Jennifer’s advice to anyone just starting out (and how she got her very first clients).

[26:22] How her business has grown (and where she plans to take it in 2021).

[29:43] Hear Jennifer’s tip for living a life that’s better than your dreams.

Quotes:

“Something that I really focus on is this contextual shift between results delivery and service delivery. And the fact of the matter is because there are 5 million factors at play in terms of whether or not my clients get results. I can't ever fully own results delivery. It's literally impossible. So in trying to do that, I am setting myself up for failure.” -Jennifer Spivak

“I think, for some reason, people have built up Facebook ads like this magical thing that is going to fix their business and bring in all new clients, but it is just a channel. So all of the marketing, one-on-one all of those sort of non-sexy foundational things must be perfectly dialed in, in order for Facebook to actually grow your business.” -Jennifer Spivak

“A lot of times people do start their business from the bottom and work on so many different facets themselves. There may be, you know, a one-woman show for a while. And so sometimes figuring out what actually works, validating your product, looking at where your customers are coming from-- it can fall by the wayside because you're doing so many things.” -Emily Williams

“I look for the easy way to do things. That's kind of the guiding light, so to speak, of how I run my business, like what would feel really good? What would be the easiest way to have this happen? So for example, you know, is it write 35 emails? Or is it spend $3,500 on ads? I'm going to spend the money on the ads.” -Jennifer Spivak

If you want it, you can have it (it’s true). You might just need to do a little mindset work before you can have it, Lovely. The good news is this episode can help you get around the roadblocks standing between you and glorious prosperity.

This is the start of a new series in which I dive into all of the brilliant inspiration and insight from Catherine Ponder’s The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. After hearing about the book from the amazing Dr. Jay LaGuardia (catch my interview with him next week), I immediately went out and bought it (and started implementing her teachings in my own life). It’s seriously filled with so much power and knowledge I had to break it down into four different episodes to share with you.

I’m so excited to be diving into this book with you because she touches upon so many things that I know hit close to home. So, follow along as I peel back the layers of Ponder’s beliefs surrounding the guilt people often feel when they realize their desire for wealth and prosperity (and why that shouldn’t be the case). In fact, I explore Ponder’s belief that poverty works against us, limiting our ability to step into our calling of how we can make a difference in the world. (My mind was blown). I discuss why prosperity is needed to thrive in life, including Ponder’s belief that the power to live prosperously stems from within. In other words, it all comes back to one of my all-time favorite topics, mindset.

I love how Ponder uses the Law of Attraction and the Vacuum Law to help explain how prosperity works and how it can come into (or be kept out of) our lives. That leads me to discuss how you have to be willing to give (money, time, wherever it is) before you can begin to receive. In this episode I touch upon the important roles guilt, fear, letting go, and forgiveness play in prosperity and building the life (and business) you’ve been dreaming of.

Again, I’ve witnessed the power of these shifts in my own life. I want you to understand that this actually works. That’s why I include several examples of how these laws and principles have made a difference in my life and business (and how they can do the same for you). I lead you through the actions you can take to start shifting your money mindset to make room for prosperity with simple steps. I even share one of my favorite mantras from the book so you can apply it to your own life.

Remember, this is only the beginning. This was just part one of this powerful series. Be sure to tune into the entire series to get the full value and learn how you can start going after your dreams and welcoming prosperity guilt-free.

P.S. Be sure to listen for the promo to save 15% on my signature I Heart Money course. With this course, you can be on your way to creating room for the wealth you desire today. Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur, business owner, climbing the corporate ladder, this is for you.

[26:12] The power of forgiveness.

[28:57] The way to deal with feelings of lack.

Quotes:

“When we are prosperous and when we live in abundance, anything is possible and we're able to live life to the fullest. “ -Emily Williams

“It's actually our duty to be wealthy. And what happens when we're wealthy is that we don't have to worry about money. And so it frees our mind up to focus on how we can impact the world, how we can utilize our talents, how we can make a difference.” -Emily Williams

“Prosperous thinking opens the way to prosperous results.” -Catherine Ponder

“Whatever you are craving, that is what is in store for you. That's when it's available for you. And the sooner that we own it, the sooner we stop judging it, the sooner that dam is going to be released and you're going to see more abundance.” -Emily Williams

We get into the business for the passion, right? To make money doing something we love. I totally understand the desire to jump right in. However, the fact of the matter is that if you have a business, there are some pretty important legal actions you need to take to protect your business (and yourself). The good news? It doesn’t have to be as intimidating as we make it out to be.

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the strategies and marketing for your business, but the legal foundation is seriously so important. I don’t just want you to take my word for it because truthfully, I’m no expert! But luckily I know someone who is…

Join me on this episode jam-packed with free (and super useful) legal advice from my friend, Andrea Sager. Andrea is a lawyer who specializes in helping small businesses navigate the world world of law as they build and grow their company. Her story is truly inspirational. Follow along as she shares her entrepreneurial journey (it started by selling clothes on Poshmark), explaining how being fired from what she thought was her “dream job” led her to realize her real dream of serving small businesses.

I admire Andrea in more ways than one. She managed to maintain 6-figure months in her business in the midst of a pandemic all while dealing with divorce and the mom guilt that comes with being a successful businesswoman.

Andrea truly has a knack for breaking the complicated world of the law down into easily digestible bits for small business owners. So, for those of you who have been avoiding the legal aspects of building your business (or didn’t know they existed in the first place), there’s no need to worry. She’s upfront and honest about what you can do yourself and when you should get expert advice (she even offers one of her super useful freebies)!

Listen as Andrea dives into legal advice for small businesses, explaining how, with the right mindset (and help), business law doesn’t have to be so scary after all. Her biggest piece of advice? Being proactive. She explains the importance of establishing your entity (and why you should register as an LLC ASAP), using contracts for protection, and securing your intellectual property. I’m telling you, this information has so much useful information that can set you up for (legal) success so you can start (or grow) your business without a worry. Trust me, you’ll want to take notes!

In this episode…

[01:50] Why you need to start giving yourself permission (with “Jane”).

[03:19] Balancing expert advice and your own intuition.

[04:00] The questions you can ask to ensure alignment (and build your business).

[06:23] How I navigated a recent pivot in my own business.

[08:36] There’s always another path to the result you want.

[11:01] Knowing the difference between relief and fear.

[14:08] It’s okay to go in a different direction (as long as it feels right).

[15:01] It gets to feel good and be successful (the ultimate form of self-love).

Quotes:

“The number one thing that I like to tell people is the legal stuff doesn't have to be scary. And the sooner you take care of it, the less scary it is.” -Andrea Sager

“The legal stuff actually has a lot to do with mindset. And it does provide a lot of blocks in people's businesses, because if you don't take care of it in the back of your mind, you're like, ‘Oh, I really need to do this, but I don't even want to think about legal. I don't want to even touch it.’ So it creates a block.” -Andrea Sager

“Don't be afraid to use a contract [because] it can protect you and the other party in more ways than one. And it makes you look more professional. If I'm going to be working with somebody today, they better be sending me a contract. If they don't send me a contract, then I'm going to question their professionalism.” -Andrea Sager

“It's not scary and it's not as expensive as people think it is. It only gets expensive when you wait for those issues. And that's really where the scariest stuff happens. The expensive stuff happens. So when you're proactive and you tackle it head-on, it can save you many headaches can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. It can save you a lot in the long run.” -Andrea Sager

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. You don’t have to do things the way others have done them. Now, of course, there is a lot to learn from experts in your field. There’s no need to totally reinvent the wheel where you don’t have to, but I’d argue it’s equally as important to know that there’s more than one set way to get the results you desire.

The idea of giving yourself permission has been coming up a lot with our IHML clients, and after having a major realization in my own life and business at the start of this year (like literally on New Year’s Day), I knew I had to record this episode. Listen as I dive into the importance of giving yourself permission to pivot in your business (and your life) if it means following your heart. I discuss the difference between fear-based resistance and resistance caused by misalignment. Now, to help you take action, I reveal the questions that you can ask yourself any time you feel like you should be doing something. (Hint: if it’s not in alignment with your desires, you probably shouldn’t).

Remember, it’s your dream. It’s your business. So, why can’t you give yourself permission to build it on your own terms? To make changes? To do things differently than what has been done? (Hint: you can).

Follow along as I explain how you can create your own version of the path that plays to your strengths and gets you results. The truth is, there is more than one way to get to the results you desire. In fact, it’s the small tweaks, the personal touches, we make along the way that really defines our brands and makes them unique to us. So, give yourself permission to deviate from the set path. In fact, I encourage you to do so.

And this doesn’t just apply to your business. Whether you’re on a mission to lose weight, be more productive, eat healthier -- literally, any goals you have for yourself -- I explain why it’s important to be able to understand when to listen to the experts and when to set off on your own version of the path others have paved before you. Don’t do the workout if you hate it. Don’t eat the food if it makes you gag. Find another way.

If you’re ready to move full force in the direction of your desires for your life and business, this episode is going to help you do that. Remember, this is the year for you to live a life that’s better than those dreams, Lovely.

In this episode…

[01:50] Why you need to start giving yourself permission (with “Jane”).

[03:19] Balancing expert advice and your own intuition.

[04:00] The questions you can ask to ensure alignment (and build your business).

“We want to follow the people who have come before us, but that doesn't mean that you [shouldn’t] sprinkle a little bit of yourself into the recipe as you're making this incredible product or building this brand. In fact, it's actually really important that you do.” -Emily Williams

“When you're learning from somebody, give yourself the permission to tweak things a little bit or to edit it if it doesn't feel in alignment. And of course, there's going to be times where you feel resistance because you're doing something new, but that's why you need to start to recognize the difference between resistance and not moving forward-- because maybe you're scared or maybe because you've never done it before-- and resistance when something truly isn't in alignment and it's not the way that you're meant to we'll be doing it.” -Emily Williams

“I really believe that there's a way to have success and follow a plan and have step-by-step processes, but also infuse your heart into what you're doing. And ultimately when your heart is in something, you're going to give it your all and it's going to be so much more successful.” -Emily Williams

When you think of the word success, what comes to mind? Is it money? Is it freedom? Is it running the business of your dreams? Or maybe it’s all three. One thing I’d be willing to bet doesn't come to mind is fear. But here’s the thing, fear of taking your big vision to that next level, the fear of success, is a very real thing (just ask my client, Joanne).

Luckily, like with any fear, there are ways to move through it. There are strategies you can use to help you overcome the fears that are getting in the way of your big vision (don’t worry, I share them with you in this very episode).

She bravely admits that with her big vision taking on a team to help her expand her coaching business to that next level. The thing is, clarity around the vision isn’t the issue. Follow along as we unpack the fears getting in her way of achieving what she wants.

Now, whether you resonate with Joanne’s fears or not, this episode will give you strategies you can implement when fear of success (whatever that looks like for you) rears its head in your life and business. Follow along as I reveal how strategies that help you keep your eye on your goals (even if that means breaking them down into smaller steps) can help you take action with confidence.

So, if you are ready to flip the script on your fears so they can no longer keep you from your dreams, this episode is for you. Remember, the worst thing you can do for your life and business is to be held back by fear. To stay stuck. To play it small when you are meant for something big.

Quotes:

“And when you list out, for example, all the things that you're currently doing, that aren't your zone of genius or aren't the best use of your time. It frees you up to move the big vision forward.” -Emily Williams

“A lot of us as visionaries, we look at the whole big picture and we're like, ‘Oh my gosh, I need a hundred people right now. It's going to cost a fortune.’ So on and so forth. What I want you to do is take this and phases and think about what this year holds for your business and what your goals are. Who is the one person, the next hire, who would make the biggest difference to your organization based on those goals?” -Emily Williams

“So anytime that you go into fear or doubt, you remind yourself of the vision and you remind yourself of what's possible.” -Emily Williams

Drum roll, please…

The fourth, and final, episode of the 6-Figures in 6 Months series is finally here!

Now, I know people love to talk about the structures and strategies, right? They think those things hold the keys to the kingdom of your dreams. We both know mindset plays an immense role in your success as well because the thing is, you need to build your dream like you would build a house. It starts with a strong foundation. So, this episode takes it way back to the beginning. Back to the foundation of my business. Back to my belief that I was meant for something big. So if you are a dreamer like me, this episode is for you.

When I say my life changed in 6 months, it feels like a total understatement. People want to know what the secret is, right? And while I could answer with a million different things, one of the biggest things that I always come back to is being a dreamer. That’s why I’m so excited to wrap this series by diving into the 7 essential aspects of turning your dream into a reality, so if, like me, you want to start a 6-figure business you can.

Think about this: What do all people who achieve greatness have in common? They dream big. Sure, some people might see them as a big delusional at the time, but that doesn’t stop them. Think about the Richard Bransons and Steve Jobses, heck even the Oprahs, of the world. They were dreamers who stuck with it because they believed it could happen (and it did). We all have to live our lives like our dreams are possible (because they are). If you play it small you’ll never make it big, Lovely.

Listen as I walk you through the importance of everything from having the audacity to dream big to why you need to make your dreams non-negotiable. I explain how continuously thinking outside of the box plays an essential role in your ability to level-up again and again and how the people you surround yourself with can make all the difference. I also discuss how entrepreneurship is more than a career path, it’s a lifestyle (and yes, sometimes that means long grueling hours and hard work when you start out).

My success didn’t happen overnight. The thing is, I’m still dedicated and working hard. Staying in the right mindset needed to commit to your dreams is a continuous journey, Lovely. But guess what? Like me, you can be committed to the ride. You can be committed to your dreams, your growth, and your success. The result? You can live a life that’s better than your dreams (trust me).

By sharing my experience and this advice with you, I want you to be able to hit the ground running and not chase your dreams, but catch them. Live them. Surpass them. I know I always say this– that it is possible for you– but it’s because I truly believe it, Lovely. So go ahead, after you listen to this episode, open the book and start writing your success story today. Waiting isn’t going to serve anyone.

P.S. If you loved this series, imagine what you could get inside one of our programs (like the I Heart Coaching program)! We have so much to offer to help you so you can stop waiting and start stepping into your big desires in a BIG way. Book a call with one of our clarity coaches today to see how we can help you start living out your dreams ASAP.

In this episode…

[03:14] I didn’t think I was going to make it...

[04:43] It’s a work in progress (and that’s okay).

[07:29] You have to lay the foundations first (then build).

[10:32] You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be (here’s why).

[14:37] Keeping the dream alive (until it becomes the reality).

[17:26] Why your dreams need to be non-negotiable.

[18:42] I expect the best (and why you should too).

[23:37] Start thinking outside of the box (and continuing to say yes to your dream).

[27:52] Who you surround yourself with really matters.

[29:53] Entrepreneurship is a way of life.

[34:30] 7 conditions needed to make your dreams a reality (recap).

[35:28] Hear the details about the I Heart Coaching program (and how it can help you in a BIG way).

Quotes:

“And so this is what is so essential when it comes to your dreams; There are times in our lives where it's not a hundred percent clear how it's going to happen-- It's not even a hundred percent clear what it is we want to happen-- but we have to keep it alive. And we have to keep the faith. And we have to keep taking steps towards those dreams.” -Emily Williams

“When you dream big and you go for it and you really put yourself out there in a huge way-- and you believe that anything is possible and good things are always on their way to you-- the universe, God, whatever it is you believe in is going to deliver much, much more than that. And so as an entrepreneur, you need to be willing to always up-level yourself and just go for it and say, yes.” -Emily Williams

“We all need support. We're not meant to do this alone. I don't know where we all got this idea as women, that we need to do everything ourselves, but it's so not true. And so when I surrounded myself with this group of 200 entrepreneurs around the world, it changed my life.” -Emily Williams

I’m back for part 3 of the 4 part series all about my journey earning 6-figures in 6-months (and how you can too). Now, before diving into today’s episode, be sure to go back and listen to parts 1 and 2 if you haven’t already. These episodes are essential in helping you lay the groundwork needed to jump into the strategies I’ll be outlining in this episode.

Are you ready?

If you’re the person who’s been patiently waiting for the strategies, the wait is over! This episode is all about the very business decisions and strategies that I put in place when I was starting out. For starters, I reveal how investing in myself and my business changed everything for me. Truthfully, most people underestimate this part. We assume that we must have it all figured out by the time we start the business, right? But that couldn't be further from wrong, Lovely. I wouldn’t have been able to successfully implement these strategies if it wasn’t for the investments I made in my business.

I used to think I’d be able to do this whole thing all by myself (hint: I couldn’t). I know money is where a lot of people freeze up, but that’s why I explain how getting help from experts actually saves you money and gives you BIG returns in the long-run (trust me). For example, sure, I could have guessed my way through Facebook Ads (and wasted time and money along the way), but I’m so grateful that I invested in Facebook Ad experts (Don’t worry, I share what I’ve learned in this very episode). Decisions like this changed my ability to target my ideal clients and to scale beyond belief (and can do the same for you).

As for those strategies? Get ready to take some notes as I outline the 10 strategies I invested my time and money into to help me go from nothing (well, debt, to be exact) to 6-figures in my business in 6 months. I explain how you can use the same structures to start (or scale) your business. Listen as I explain the importance of everything from targeting your ideal clients to simply showing up unafraid and unapologetically as you put your services out into the world. I dive into the importance of market research and how developing strong, emotional connections with your audience can lead to sales. (Hint: shamelessly sharing your story is a must).

Now, if strategies are something you struggle with (or you’re simply looking for that next level of support), I also give you the full run-down of my I Heart Coaching program in this episode (I know you’re curious!). I reveal what you can expect each month during the 6-month program and even offer an exclusive VIP opportunity just for you. This program is about as comprehensive as it gets, laying the foundation to scaling your success (and income) with mindset work, tried and true business strategies, and techniques for successful coaches! Trust me, you don't want to sit this one out. (Click here to learn more).

P.S. It’s not over yet! Be sure to tune in for this series’ final segment, part 4! As a whole, this series offers you nearly 4 hours of insight and actionable advice to help you step into your big dreams, just like I did. (I share details from my own story, including my struggles, to remind you that this is possible, Lovely).

P.P.S. Are you craving the support outlined in this episode to help you step into your dreams but have no idea where to start? Book a call with one of our clarity coaches today to see how we can help you start living out your dreams ASAP.

In this episode…

[02:20] Hear a recap of the first half of the 4-part series! (Be sure to catch part 1 and part 2 if you haven’t already).

[05:08] This is your opportunity to grow stronger.

[07:09] Hear one of the key aspects of my success (Hint: most people underestimate it).

[12:25] The importance of getting clear on your ideal client (including what services to offer) and how to market to them.

[14:44] What I’ve learned about Facebook ads.

[16:19] The power of story (how telling your story helps make connections with your clients).

[19:20] The benefit of confidently pitching your offerings (overcoming fear of being “sales-y”).

[23:00] Building emotional connection with your clients (and how market research can help).

[26:21] Learn how I Heart Coaching can help you and your business (month by month breakdown of the program’s curriculum!).

Quotes:

“You know, people ask me all the time, ‘what changed for you? What shifted, how did you go from those 54 nos to having a 6-figure business in 6 months?’ And honestly, it was because I learned from the best and I didn't try and do all of this by myself.” - Emily Williams

“As women, we connect through stories. And so I've found that to be really, really vital in my success. And I haven't been afraid to be the face of my brand and really be the voice of my brand and to tell people why it is I do what I do. Why I'm so passionate about this work. Why it's so important to me. And why I believe in your gifts and your talents and your unique abilities that are needed in this world.” -Emily Williams

“So just creating that Facebook page, and then sending them to a sales page all about your program? It's not enough. Again, you have to build that relationship.” -Emily Williams

“So you never know what's going to happen when you say yes to your dreams and you step up to the plate and you really go for it and in a very big way. So hold that faith in yourself. Hold that faith in your services and be that confident, successful female entrepreneur.” -Emily Williams

A lot of aspiring business owners focus all of their attention on researching and implementing the right strategies that will propel them into the success they desire. The thing is, it’s not just about strategy. In fact, strategy can only go so far without laying down the foundation for the mindset needed to unlock that next level. The right mindset is essential to creating success on a large, yet sustainable, scale. After all, without making the mindset shifts I dive into in this episode, the business I have today literally wouldn’t be in existence.

So, welcome to part 2 of the 6-Figures in 6 Months series. This episode is all about the mindset shifts that I made (and you can too) to help me move through any barriers standing between me and my big dreams of a 6-figure business (and beyond). The fact is that your thoughts create your reality. Mindset plays an imperative role in your success and I explain how it all begins by getting clear on your desires. I also discuss how you can track your thoughts to better understand how they are keeping you from achieving your desires.

Once you understand which of your thoughts are holding you back, you can begin to do the work and make the shifts that will help you unlock that next level that you are craving. That reality you want. So, I literally walk you through how you can flip that switch, including the mindset shifts you can start making today to move past feelings of jealousy and overwhelm.

I also dive into money mindset, discussing where it comes from and how to track yours to keep it from blocking your success (because it totally can). There are a lot of common money stories we believe to be true that aren’t serving us and our dreams. That’s why I give you tangible ways to start unpacking your current beliefs around money and how to shift them toward welcoming abundance.

Remember, your desires are meant for you. They are possible. You can have the business you dream of. You can hit that 6-figure milestone (and beyond). I know it’s easy to get caught up in fears and doubts, and that’s exactly why this work is so important. Truthfully, mindset work is a lifetime commitment if you wish to continue to grow in your life and business. The most important part is starting to do the work. This episode is filled with ways you can start making meaningful shifts in your mindset today.

P.S. If you missed the first episode in this 4-part series, go back and listen to episode 169, 6-Figures in 6 months: Part 1. You’ll be able to learn all about what I did to help me take action in the direction of my dreams of starting my own 6-figure business, including outlining the very steps you can take in your own life and business. Oh, and don’t forget to tune in for the next segment where we’ll be covering business strategy (yes, I know you want that too!). Remember, with the right mindset and actions, your dreams are possible, lovely.

P.P.S. If you know that creating a successful coaching business (or scaling the one you already have) is what you are meant to do but you need support in how to make it happen, we’ve got your back here at IHML. Our I Heart Coaching program is about as comprehensive as it gets, offering 360° support in all things coaching, laying the foundation to scaling your success (and income). Click here to learn more.

Quotes:

“The mistake that a lot of people make is that they put the life that they really desire on hold until they can really feel like they can go for it, but there are steps that you can take straight away so that you start to have the life that you desire, even if it's in a smaller way.” -Emily Williams

“You have to think about your desires being possible for you because they are. And so often we're taught to really limit ourselves and to be realistic and all of that. But frankly, that sort of thinking has never served me. And I don't know anyone that it has actually served, right? It doesn't really help us do anything. It just keeps us in that place of lack and fear and keeps us stuck” -Emily Williams

“You know, as entrepreneurs, it's not always smooth sailing, especially in the beginning. And so you have to be strong in your mindset and you have to believe that you are meant for this work and that you are meant to bring in the money that you desire. And so that's why this work is so important.” -Emily Williams

I was literally on my way to find an apartment in Chicago (where I was soon to be enrolled in grad school) when I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach that something wasn’t right…

Do you know the feeling? When you know you are not living the life you desire. But guess what? That moment changed the course of my life and, ultimately, led me here.

So this episode is actually the first in a four-part series that is so incredibly powerful in helping you lay the foundation for chasing your dreams. For saying yes to your desires. So whether you have the dream of starting your own business or scaling one you already have, literally whatever it is that you desire, this episode (and series) is for you.

Listen to part one as I share a bit about my story and how I went from a quarter-life crisis to a 6-figure business owner. How I went from earning $442 in my first month as a coach to hitting 6-figures in only 6 months (yes, really). Now, remember, if it was possible for me-- small-town girl swimming in debt-- it is literally possible for you too. Now, I will be the first to admit that having the support of insightful mentors and access to some amazing programs made a huge difference in my journey and success. I’m so grateful and that’s why I want to pay it forward by sharing this recording with you today.

In this episode, I’m diving into the four big things that I did to actually get started on the path towards my dream business (and 6-figures). I talk about why you need to start saying yes to your dreams and no to fear. I explain why investing in your business is investing in yourself and your dreams (and is a total must-do). I’ll discuss why I recommend getting started even if you don’t have all the answers or systems in place. Lastly, I touch upon why you need to focus on working smart when building your business.

What happened when I said yes to my dreams? What happened when I moved past fears and invested in myself and my business? I went from making $442 last July to six figures that January. Now, it’s time to start thinking about what is possible for you. After you’ve listened to this episode, be sure to tune back in for the three remaining episodes in this four-part series!

P.S. There’s still time to save your seat for my up-coming LIVE webinar all about building that 6-figure coaching business! So, if you are ready to commit to saying yes to your desires and stepping into your dream of running a 6-figure coaching business, you don’t want to miss this!

Quotes:

“So whatever your dreams are right now, it's key that you hold on to them and you really give them life and give them a chance. So often I meet women who have been squashing their dreams. For years they've been telling themselves, ‘It's not realistic,’ or ‘It's not possible for me,’ or ‘She can do it, but I can't.’ Well, you know what? If someone's out there doing it, it's possible for you too.” -Emily Williams

“You don't have to have everything figured out before you start -- just get started and just get moving towards your dreams.” -Emily Williams

“When you have that openness. And you have that fearlessness. And you have that belief that you are deserving of something good and you are deserving of living your dreams and your desires and achieving the life that you want-- and really receive that with gratitude and with an open heart-- your dreams are going to be presented to you in a way that's even bigger than you could have imagined.” -Emily Williams

Let’s face it, change isn’t just hard-- it can be downright scary. In fact, that’s why we sometimes avoid it altogether. We are so quick to fear what we have yet to experience. We are so quick to pull from past experiences or assume the worst. I mean, when was the last time you let fear talk you out of making a change, taking a risk, or saying yes to an opportunity because you didn’t know what would come of it?

The crazy thing is we are so quick to hide from any change including the things that we know can help us get the results we desire in life and business. Why? It all stems from that fear. The fear of the unknown. The fear of failure. The fear of judgment. The fear of success (trust me, it’s a thing).

What if I told you transformation is waiting on the other side of that fear? (Because it is). That’s why it’s important to understand what to do when these fears come up for you so you can stop hiding from the possibilities that exist for you. So you can experience the results you are after. So you can experience the abundance that the world has in store for you.

So, I invite you to follow along as I reveal where the fear of change stems from and both the mindset shifts you can make and actions you can take to overcome it. I discuss the ways I’ve witnessed so many of my clients hiding from change (and how showing up to get support can be a huge help). I even talk about the ways I’ve had to work through my own fears and stop hiding in my own life and career. What I’ve learned from working through these fears is that it’s not that you can’t do the thing. It’s that it’s hard to imagine the incredible growth and benefits that could come from doing the thing simply because you’ve never experienced it before.

I know it’s scary to put yourself and your business out there. What if you fail? I encourage you to flip the script and start asking yourself, what if you don’t? What if you land three new clients? What if your sales increase? What if your dreams become a reality? The bottom line is that no one benefits from you hiding. No one wins when you play it small. You deserve the transformation you desire. Your clients deserve the value you have to offer.

So if you’re tired of feeling that guilt or shame that comes from knowing you should be making a change but continue to be overwhelmed by the fear of all that could go wrong, I invite you to take action. And you can start today by hitting play on this episode so you can learn how you can stop hiding and start saying yes to your dreams.

In this episode…

[04:12] Why our mind stops us from change.

[06:21] Why you need to stop hiding (and get support).

[07:24] Getting to the root of WHY you are hiding (hint: fear).

[09:04] Shifting your mind to focus on the positive results.

[11:29] Hear why you need to stop hiding from opportunities (and what to do instead).

[13:01] Why you need to continuously evaluate your actions (or lack thereof)

[13:59] The importance of taking action.

[15:04] The past does not indicate what is possible for you.

[17:02] Stop letting assumptions get in the way of your desires.

“You can get positive results, but you have to get past that terror barrier and that point of feeling so scared of the change and focus on the positive results that you're going to experience instead.” Emily Williams

“The past is no indication of what's possible for you. So we have to remember that we are capable, we are strong. We no longer want to operate out of fear, right? Otherwise, we are destined to stay stuck forever.” -Emily Williams

Are you looking to create more success, joy, energy, and momentum in your life and business? Maybe you’re looking for more clarity around what you should be doing in life and how to open that door for success. You, my friend, are not alone.

I’ve seen so many people get caught up in going down a path they feel obligated to go down because of some life experience they’ve had or what they saw someone else do. In reality, we should be paying more attention to what feels right and aligned than what we think we are supposed to be doing. We only live one life, so we deserve to do the thing that lights us up and makes us feel connected to our purpose.

That’s why I’m so excited to have Katie Irvine on the IHML Show. Katie is an amazingly insightful woman and Human Design expert (she used to be one of our VAs!) who has so much to offer in terms of helping people utilize their Human Design to better their lives (and businesses). Katie’s passion for Human Design comes from a place of personal experience. She witnessed first hand how alignment with her energy and design can transform your life. After learning about Human Design for the first time (at an IHML retreat) she was obsessed and knew she wanted to help others use Human Design to find more peace and happiness in their own lives (we recently invited her to do this with our Mastermind students). Fast forward a few years and that’s exactly what she is doing in her own business today (and she absolutely loves it).

Listen as we dive into all the things from Katie’s own experiences with Human Design (and ultimately starting her business) to how you too can benefit in your life and business by better understanding your own design. For those of you new to the whole Human Design thing, don’t worry. Katie explains exactly what it is (including a breakdown of the five main design types) and how it can help you not only better understand yourself, but how you best interact with everything happening around you as well. I’m telling you, once you understand your design type, you can better tap into your energy and literally change your life-- just like Katie did.

So, if you are ready to stop doing what doesn’t feel right and start learning how to better align with your energy and the world around you, this episode is for you. So, why wait? If you don’t know it already, I recommend you find out about your Human Design today (Katie recommends using myBodyGraph.com) because it will help you pave the path toward success and happiness in every aspect of your life.

Quotes:

“I think Human Design was something that really helped me to better know myself and to better see my value. And it was just something that clicked in a lot of the pieces to understand better how I can help people and how I'm different from others or have something different to offer.” -Katie Irvine

“When you're not being honest or authentic or true to yourself and constantly trying to replicate what other people are doing, at least in my experience, it doesn't work. It doesn't feel good. It's not fun.” -Katie Irvine

“If astrology and a personality test had a baby… that's kind of human design.” -Katie Irvine

“I mean, we get this one life. Like for those of us who are punishing ourselves, trying to build this thing, you have to ask yourself, is that really the way you want to be spending your time and the way you want to be showing up?” -Emily Williams

...And we’re back! In this episode, James and I review the rest of our top lessons from 2020.

While this past year had its fair share of ups and downs, we cannot deny the endless opportunities to learn and the immense growth and personal development that took place. We’ve spent a lot of time discussing how changes and challenges help make us stronger and more resilient. They open important doors in the realm of personal and professional development. It’s what you do in the face of change and challenge that really determines the trajectory of the outcome.

While we’re excited to be back and share our thoughts and lessons from this year, we encourage you to think about the lessons you’ve learned. To consider how you’ve grown. Whether some of your biggest lessons are the same as ours or not, we hope that in sharing these, you can head into the new year with actionable steps that will prepare you to step into your dreams in 2021. So, as you listen, consider what you can take away from our lessons and how they can inspire you to take action in your own life.

Because that’s what it’s all about, right? Taking action? If James and I went through this whole year, especially the challenges, and chose not to do anything differently, chose not to make any changes, chose not to face the realizations or have honest conversations with ourselves and others, our business wouldn’t be thriving in the way it is today. We wouldn’t be fulfilled in the ways we are today.

So, listen as we not only share more lessons from 2020 but how we took actions (or plan to) and made changes for the better. We encourage you to do the same because life is all about learning and growing. 2020 was a great reminder that, while we can’t control what life will throw at us, we can control how we respond to it.

This two-part series is more than just the lessons we learned from 2020, it’s also a celebration. We celebrate each other’s growth. We’re proud of the growth of the business and the IHML Community. We want to celebrate yours too. We believe that no matter what 2020 looked like for you, you can reach your goals faster. You can have more joy in your life, improve your health, make more money-- whatever it is you desire. It starts by taking action.

So tag us on Instagram @iheartmylife or email us at info@Iheartmylife.com and tell us how you are going to take action in the new year. If you don’t know where to start, we’ve got your back. Download our free (and incredible) New Year’s Guide to get started today.

Quotes:

“Deep down, we always know what it is that we actually want and what feels aligned for us, but we can get so sucked into what other people are doing, or what we think we should be doing, or what our parents told us we need to do or be, and it really takes us off [our] path. And one of the things I think people can do to really check-in is just ask yourself, am I in alignment?” -Emily Williams

“It's never about being this perfect human being. And I think that we will always fall off the horse and make mistakes, but it's about the bounce back.” -James Williams

“As the years come to us in the future, we don't know what's going to be thrown at us. We don't know what challenges the world is going to face. The one thing you always have control over is how you respond to it.” -James Williams

I feel like 2020 has prepared us for just about anything life can throw at us, am I right? I mean, this year was definitely filled with many ups and downs, but they all served as lessons we could learn and grow from. As we look forward to the year ahead, I want to support you as you set yourself up for success. So, in addition to listening to this episode, I invite you to download our free (and incredible) New Year’s Guide.

At IHML, we recognize the value in learning from our experience, including the good, the bad, and the ugly. No matter the year, our mission is to help you step into your dream and live your best life. Now, knowing that 2020 was filled with unexpected challenges and unprecedented change, we wanted to share some of the most important realizations we had and lessons we learned this year in hopes of inspiring you to confidently move into the new year. This is a special episode of a two-part installment where James and I share our top 10 lessons from 2020.

In this episode, listen as James and I talk through the first half of our list of lessons from 2020. These lessons have helped us find success (personally and professionally) despite the chaos and change this year brought. The best part? These lessons can be applied to next year and beyond for continued growth and prosperity.

We talk about everything from how the pandemic showed us the benefit of being able to pivot (and led to some amazing virtual events), the importance of getting clear around your purpose (and then staying true to it), and the perks of keeping it simple. We talk about why you need to show up as yourself, getting what you pay for, and why recovery is just as important (if not more) than putting in the effort. Seriously, there’s a lot of good stuff in there. You don’t want to miss it.

I love to have you tuning into the show, but I want to remind you of the importance of taking action. I hope you can learn from what we shared today and I hope this episode inspires you to reflect back on the lessons you learned from your life in 2020. More importantly, I would love to see you implement some of these teachings in your own life and business. In fact, I’d love for you to email us at info.Iheartmylife.com and tell us how you are going to take action in the new year. We love hearing about the changes our community is making in their lives.

Speaking of taking action, don’t forget to tune into our next episode of the IHML Show to hear the second half of our list!

In this episode…

[00:01] Hear about our new (and free) Near Year’s Guide!

[07:38] Lesson 1 from James: Get clear on your purpose.

[10:10] Lesson 2 from Emily: Keep it simple.

Quotes:

“I think when people are so attached to the way that they're doing things, that's when they end up struggling, you need to be attached to your purpose and what the goal actually is, but there are a variety of different ways to get there.” -Emily Williams

“Everything that you put effort into is only going to be as good as the quality of the effort that you have available to put into it.” -James Williams

“It's really important to recognize that for those of you that do have big dreams and want

to create something incredible, that takes personal power. And self-care is how you take that power back no matter what is happening in the world.” -James Williams

A new year is an opportunity for a fresh start, right? It’s an incredible way to put the past behind us and move forward with a clean slate. However, before moving forward, I believe it’s so important to reflect on our challenges and celebrate our growth over the past 365 days to help us kick off the new year feeling resilient, powerful, and proud.

I’d be willing to bet that 2020 did not unfold the way you had planned (am I right?). Now, I’m sure we’re all hoping the new year brings opportunities to travel, be with loved ones, get back to some sense of normalcy-- but we shouldn’t deny what 2020 has graced us with. While 2020 certainly introduced us to new challenges, it also brought new opportunities for growth and invitations for success. We have to acknowledge these lessons and find closure in this year before we can courageously jump into the next.

Now, I want you to know that I want the best for you in 2021 (and beyond), but I know that it is not as easy as wishing dreams into existence. So, I recorded this episode with the hope of inspiring you to set yourself up to achieve your dreams in the new year. I want you, my friend, to jump into 2021 fueled by your achievements (and lessons learned from challenges) this past year. I want you to find clarity around your intentions and desires for what’s ahead. I want you to prepare to take action in the direction of your dreams. I want you to do the thing you dream of.

Join me as I lead you through the important things to think about as you close out this year and prepare for the next. I invite you to listen as I walk through the three-step process that will help set yourself up for success. I wanted to talk about the importance of reflection (including questions you can ask yourself today to get started) as a way of finding closure. I share ways you can find clarity around and move into what it is you want to create for 2021-- yes, I’m talking about listening to your desires and setting those intentions, my friend (in both business and life in general). Lastly, I invite you to move forward by aligning your desires with actions. I invite you to commit to your transformation.

At IHML, we want you to feel supported as you reflect on this past year and prepare for all that is to come in 2021. We want you to feel ready to fully step into what is possible for you. So, be sure to listen to this episode (and don’t forget to grab our free New Year’s Guide) as you prepare for your best year yet.

In this episode…

[02:34] Freebie alert! Supporting you heading into the new year.

[03:19] The importance of reflection.

[04:54] Dealing with challenges.

[06:41] What worked for you?

Quotes:

“This is what successful people do: They don't let challenges derail them. They're like, okay, great. So there's a lesson here, bring it. I can totally handle it. I'm going to pivot. I'm going to transform. We're going to do better next time. And we're going to grow stronger throughout this challenge.” -Emily Williams

“You wouldn't be aware of the desire unless you were energetically aligned to it. So that's what's going on here when you have a desire. And then in the process of getting the desire, you become the person who's able to have it.” -Emily Williams

“You have to be aware of what it's going to take to reach these goals. And that's where I see a lot of people going wrong. I don't want you to just set out these goals or write out your desires. We need to be aware around [if] we actually want these things. And if so, are we willing to put in the effort?” -Emily Williams

Think of a time when you said no to something because of money. Now, think about a time when you said yes to something, despite the money. What was the difference? Let’s face it, people use money as an excuse all the time, but the thing is, money is rarely at the root of the hesitation to say yes. If a strong and clear desire is there, we find a way. We find or borrow the money we need. We do what we have to do to make it happen.

So, yes, this can be understandably confusing when it comes to sales calls. I mean, wouldn’t booking a call indicate desire in the first place? I know, it can be frustrating working with clients who can’t confidently commit to your offer. That’s why I wanted to invite you to listen to this recording of a recent coaching call I had with one of my IHML Mastermind students, Suzie Flynn. Suzie is a coach to virtual assistants who want to start their own business and she came to me looking for advice and support when it comes to dealing with the “I don’t have the money” excuse from her clients.

Like Suzie, you deserve to work with clients who are ready to commit to you and all you have to offer. That’s why I am so excited to share this episode that will help you sift through the excuses that are standing in the way of hearing that confident “yes” you are looking for (and also help you recognize when the client isn’t quite ready).

So, join us as I walk her through the steps needed to help clients move through what it is that’s really holding them back: fear and uncertainty. I explain just why clarifying a client’s desire is an imperative first step on any sales call, how to have honest conversations with them about money, and what needs to shift within you in order to show up more bold and confident on those calls. We talk about everything from process to marketing (and how celebrating client success publicly helps plant the seed for yes in others).

While I may be coaching Suzie on this particular call, this episode is filled with tangible takeaways that you can apply to sales calls with your own clients. You will walk away from this episode with tools that can help support them in knowing that they're making the right decision (and make it with confidence). From specific questions you can ask to processes you can implement, you can learn so much simply by pressing play.

If you enjoy the coaching you heard in this episode, remember that you too could qualify for a chance to win a one-to-one session with me in our incredible I Heart My Life Membership. The doors are opening soon, so make sure to save your spot on the waiting list!

In this episode…

[02:28] Welcome, Suzie! Hear her goals for the session.

[03:15] Suzie’s experience with client excuses (including how she handles it).

[05:21] Helping clients getting clear on their desires.

[08:18] Asking them, what would getting to a yes look like?

[09:58] The benefit of explaining the psychology behind the decision.

[11:45] How long should you stay on the call? (And what to have clients do before the call)

[14:02] Listen as we work through what’s holding Suzie back when the money objection arises.

[17:49] The importance of showing up bold and confident (not perfect)

[20:23] Detaching yourself from the result of the call.

[23:02] Identifying your ideal client (including being ready to receive your service).

[24:33] Using marketing as social proof.

As the year comes to a close, I hope you spend some time reflecting and celebrating how far you have come in 2020-- I know it’s been a wild ride. If there’s one thing that this year has taught me, it’s that mindset is so important when it comes to basically every aspect of life. Even in the midst of a global pandemic, people have been out there doing big things. People are saying yes to their dreams. They’re taking risks and making leaps in the direction of their desires. They’re letting go of what no longer serves them and making more time and space for what lights them up.

Truthfully, I’ve been blown away by the transformations I’ve seen in the IHML Mastermind this year. I know this year has had its unforeseen challenges, but it’s been so inspiring to work alongside these amazing women who have completely changed their lives and businesses in 2020. I’m truly in awe of these women and all they have accomplished.

That’s why I’m delighted to share with you the second installment of this series reviewing what worked for some of our lovely Mastermind students. Today, I invited Val Del Grosso to come on the show and not only share her 2020 transformation, but reveal the exact mindset shifts that helped make it possible. I invite you to not only listen to Val’s incredible story, but to consider how you too can make similar mindset shifts for the benefit of your life and business in the new year.

Val is a lawyer who, like many business owners out there, expanded her business online in 2020. What makes her stand out is that she nearly doubled her business (and brought in 20k months) by spending only 10 to 12 hours on her online business each month. Even better? She got these incredible results without having to double her efforts (or run herself into the ground).

So listen as Val reveals the shifts she made in her mindset and how taking the leap to join the Mastermind helped bring clarity around how to get the results she knew she wanted. We talk about everything from setting up the right offers to how showing up authentically with your clients. Val even gives us a glimpse of how these shifts in her business have led not only to financial success but more alignment and happiness in her life.

So, I invite you to listen along and begin thinking about how you can implement similar shifts in your life and business in the new year and beyond. And if you are feeling inspired by Valerie’s amazing transformation in 2020 (I mean, who wouldn’t be!?) and want to know if our IHML Mastermind can help support you too, head over to our website to see how we can help you in the new year.

In this episode…

[02:58] Welcome, Val! Hear about the work she does as a lawyer.

[04:15] Hear about some of the shifts she made in her online business this year.

[05:44] What were her goals for her business this year? (and how she found clarity)

[06:50] Hear how she achieved her goals with just 12 hours a month!

[08:36] What were the game changers for her?

[10:12] Why you can stop guessing what your clients want.

[10:57] You don’t have to compromise your dream (or happiness) for financial success.

[15:22] Listen as Valarie reveals one of her big realizations this year.

[16:15] Hear how leaning into her constraints helped guide her success.

[17:48] “You don’t need thousands of clients to make a really great income.”

[19:00] Hear Val’s advice to people looking to transform their life going into 2021.

[21:06] What’s coming up for Val in 2021?

Quotes:

“I knew I had something good and didn't want to just abandon it. And so the Mastermind was a place where I could come to talk to people about what exactly was possible through the example that other people were setting in their own businesses. So that was kind of right at the start of the year-- I had something, but I wasn't exactly sure what it was or what it could be.” -Valerie Del Grosso

“How often are we guessing when we could just ask people what it is that they want from us? And people are telling us that on a regular basis, if we're willing to listen as well. There's always clues in terms of their questions.” -Emily Williams

“It's not about the dollars in the bank. It's really about the life that you're creating and allowing yourself to have freedom and to have choice and everyone's version of success looks different.” -Emily Williams

“It's just this dream scenario now. And I thought I would have to compromise so much of that for the financial results, but actually focusing on the relationship and the way I want to feel in doing this work has brought so much abundance.” -Valerie Del Grosso

Let’s be honest here, when’s the last time you stepped away from work? (Like, really stepped away). If you find yourself easily caught up in the hustle and bustle of running your own business, doing all the things, and just life in general, you are definitely not alone. In fact, so many of us (especially those of us who are achievement-driven workaholics) have been programmed to equate hard work with success. Over the past year, I’ve learned a lot about the many other factors that are necessary not only for success but for the lasting success and continued growth we’re striving for.

Don’t get me wrong, hard work is an essential component for anyone looking to build and scale the business of their dreams. But what I’ve learned, with the help of amazing people like Dr. Greg Wells, is that things like a good night's sleep, taking care of my health, slowing down (so I can actually speed up) are essential to opening the doors for the transformation I’m after.

I want you to achieve the transformation you are seeking, too. So, I’m excited to bring the incredible Dr. Greg on the show to share why resting, refocusing, and recharging are just as important to your success as hard work (I know, it took me a second to wrap my head around that too). He brings an abundance of knowledge and insightful personal experience to this episode that I hope will inspire you as much as it did me.

If you’re feeling at all skeptical, I invite you to listen as Dr. Greg dives into the science behind how the brain works and how changing your state of mind enables you to unlock elevated levels of your potential. He explains the benefits of surrounding yourself with nature (even if it’s on your screensaver!), the importance of taking time away from work (vacation anyone?), and the benefits of unplugging from technology. He even shares his 1-2-3 rule that can help you slow down and step away from work (and reveal the benefits of delegation and automation in life and business). I’m telling you, there’s so much information in this episode that can seriously change your life.

While we touch upon how rearranging our priorities and slowing down has opened the doors for better health, more happiness, and increased success in our own lives, I want to to pay close attention to how you can work to achieve those results for yourself too (Hint: It starts by committing to making a 1% change). It might involve letting go of external validation and judgment. It might involve a small shift in mindset. Whatever it is, remember that there is no time like the present. I encourage you to listen to this episode and pick one thing to take action on starting today. You’ll be surprised how much one small change will compound over time and lead to BIG results.

In this episode…

Quotes:

“Sometimes I think we overestimate how important we are when in fact other people in our teams and our communities can do some of the things that we think only we can do. And in fact, are begging for the opportunity and the growth that comes along with taking on some of those opportunities.” -Dr. Greg Wells

“Gone are the days where people want to be working those crazy hours and they are starting to understand what the effects are on their health. And that there won't be a business if they keep operating in this way and there won't be a movement and they won't have the impact and the legacy.” -Emily Williams

“It doesn't matter where you start, you just have to start and we want to be doing micro-changes consistently. The idea of being 1% better every single day compounds over time. And then you won't even recognize yourself in a year if you're able to do that.” -Dr. Greg Wells

“So when we do stop doing things, we simplify our lives. We open up time and space that gives us the opportunity to either drop in new, interesting things or new interesting people that elevate us.” -Dr. Greg Wells

How many times do you go to bed feeling bad about all of the things you didn’t get done that day? I’m right there with you. And we’re not alone. A lot of driven women thrive off of those feelings of accomplishing all the things, right? We love to check off the items on the to-do list. We try to do it all. Now, when we inevitably run out of time (or dare to take a break!), we feel we’re not worthy of validation because we didn’t do enough. We’ve taught ourselves that achievement equals success and only that success is worthy of validation and pride. Guess what? It’s time we change that thought process.

I was recently inspired by one of my favorite shows, The Crown (Season 4, Episode 8 to be exact), and started thinking about how much validation impacts our confidence and, therefore, our success. Truthfully, I’ve been doing a lot of work around self-validation and self-love lately and I know I’m not alone in needing this shift in mindset. We need to stop being so hard on ourselves and instead celebrate the greatness we bring to the table.

That’s why I wanted to use this episode to talk about self-validation and why it’s imperative for our well-being in life and business. Simply put, we need to be kinder to, and more appreciative of, ourselves. As my husband often reminds me, self-validation should be the thing that fills you up, and everything else should just be a bonus. Your sense of worth and confidence shouldn’t depend on the words of someone else.

You are worthy. You are amazing. You do great things. I could go on and on and say these things, right? But you need to hear them from yourself. Let me remind you that you don’t have to wait for some big achievement to recognize your worth and practice self-appreciation, either. In fact, I encourage you to start practicing self-validation and self-appreciation with every little thing you can think of. Showing appreciation for yourself has to be part of your daily routine in order for you to feel validated and to feel that self-worth that we are all craving.

So, join me on this episode to hear the whys and hows behind starting the practice of self-validation in your life. Not only do I talk about why self-validation is so important to your success (and general well-being), but I also give you some ways you can start practicing more self-love in your life today. I invite you to listen to this episode and join me in practicing more self-love and appreciation because you, my friend, deserve it.

In this episode…

Quotes:

“You are your first client. And so validate yourself, take care of yourself. Show that appreciation, show that love in a way that feels really good for you.” -Emily Williams

“Self-validation should be the thing that fills you up. The compliments and other people saying nice things about you, that should just be the bonus. It should not be something that you require to have happiness and to feel confident about yourself.” -Emily Williams

“And if there's anything I've learned over the past few years, success is really dependent on your view of yourself. You have to sell to yourself before you can sell to anyone else. You have to believe that you can do it. You have to appreciate yourself and show yourself self-love.” -Emily Williams

You know those seasons of your business (or life) when things just don’t feel right? You’re not wrong. Being in alignment in your life, both personally and professionally, is so incredibly important. The truth is, when you're personally out of alignment, your business will reflect that. That’s why I’m so excited to have Lindsay Roselle joining me on this episode to talk about all things alignment.

Lindsay’s journey from corporate success to entrepreneurial endeavors is one we can all learn from. We begin by talking about everything from her decision to leave the security of the corporate world to the struggles she faced early on in her entrepreneurial journey. By sharing her story, she reminds us that while the road to alignment isn’t always smooth sailing, the end result is totally worth it.

Because here’s the thing, alignment might be more imperative now than ever before. We live in a fast-paced world with a lot of high expectations set by what we see online and on social media. It’s so easy to get caught up with comparing yourself to the success of others and getting lost in the hustle mindset. I hope that my discussion with Lindsay can help remind you to pay attention to your now because getting too caught up in the future can lead to misalignment before you even get there.

One of the great things about Lindsay is that she practices what she preaches. She literally started her business, Women & Inc, because the community she wanted to be a part of didn’t yet exist. She gets candid about the gumption (and humility to ask for help) it took to get her business started, and reveals the role alignment has played (and continues to play) as both she and her business evolve. And what started with 83 women in a bar (with only one table reserved!), now hosts events with nearly 2,000 attendees… so she must be on to something.

Listen as Lindsay graciously shares her framework for getting (and staying) in alignment that she uses with her clients and how this framework can be used as a way to stay honest about your happiness and your desires. She also shares how she knows when she’s out of alignment. This was actually one of the most brilliant mile markers we’ve heard in a long time and something most people overlook, but it’s a tell-tale sign that something’s off. (You’ll have to listen to learn what it is!) And finally, she reminds us that success doesn't have to come at the cost of stress and unhappiness.

At IHML, we want you to love your life in every sense of the word. So, if you have a hunch that something is not exactly aligned, or maybe you're just not feeling happy with your life or business, press play on this episode and learn all the things to help you get back to living your best life.

Quotes:

“You always have to come back to this personal alignment piece. And as soon as you personally get out of alignment, nothing else is going to work.” -Lindsay Roselle

“We're all always in the work. We're always in the work of figuring out what is aligned, what is true for us and, and what it's okay. If stuff changes it's okay. If life evolves, you just have to have those mechanisms in place and the support in place to keep coming back to yourself and, and trust that as soon as something starts to feel not in there, not in alignment that you have the power to stop it.” -Lindsay Roselle

“I think where we get in trouble is where we're trying to sell too many things, or we're trying to keep up with the influencer on Instagram and run a challenge and do all these things on top of each other. And yeah, you might have a great financial month, but if it's at the cost of your alignment, if it's at the cost of your ability to take a day off or to sit in stillness and like being with yourself, those extra couple hundred thousand dollars are not worth it.” -Lindsay Roselle

When’s the last time someone openly talked to you about guilt? And not just about feeling guilt, but about how it can be really damaging and stand in the way of your dreams? Most of us are not taught this as children. In fact, we’re conditioned to accept guilt by being taught that we’re always supposed to put others first-- over our wants, dreams, and deepest desires.

Now, what if I told you that didn’t have to be the case? That you’re not actually a bad person for putting yourself first? That saying goodbye to guilt is actually welcoming self-care with open arms? Trust me, this shift in mindset is a game-changer for you (and your business).

That’s why I’m using this episode to break down why it's imperative that you get a handle on when guilt is running your life (hint: because it can ruin your success). I explain how to identify triggers and feelings of guilt, discuss what to do when guilt comes up (because it will), and dive into ways to shift and move through those feelings so they don’t burden you and hold you back.

Truthfully, while friends and family can make us feel guilty for choosing something we want to do over what they want us to do, we make ourselves feel guilty all the time too. We feel wrong for raising our prices, taking time off from work, and taking time and space for ourselves. We are so quick to plant the seeds of guilt without even realizing it, but it’s imperative to your personal growth to understand why you need to stop letting guilt run (and ruin) your life-- like yesterday.

So, join me as I dive into trading guilt for self-love. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of why moving through guilt is an incredible opportunity to learn about ourselves (and our desires) and how saying no to those things you really don’t want to do (and letting go of judgment when others do the same) can actually build better relationships.

The bottom line is you deserve to be happy. You deserve to go after your dreams. You deserve the success that will follow. But you need to stop letting guilt in the way. So, my friends, dive into this episode to start learning how.

In this episode…

[02:49] The root of guilt when building a business.

[04:40] Why you need to stop saying yes when you want to say no.

[07:20] How I dealt with guilt from my family (and James!) as I was building my business.

[08:58] Why you need to put yourself first.

[10:55] Being strong in your decisions (especially with how you spend your time).

[12:46] How to navigate guilt with your partner.

[13:43] Getting clear about your desires.

[15:01] Why practicing self-love sometimes involves having hard conversations.

[18:01] Using guilt as manipulation.

[19:24] How you can learn from your guilt and live a life on your terms.

Quotes:

“You deserve to be happy. You deserve to be successful. You deserve to raise your prices. All of that is available for you. When you move through that guilt and step into your power and live life based on your desires.” -Emily Williams

“We get this one shot at life. So don't we want to enjoy it and really live it to the fullest and live it in the way that is our version of the fullest, not somebody else's?” -Emily Williams

“Oftentimes we build things up in our mind and we're so nervous to speak our truth. And we allow that guilt to drive us into making a decision that we don't want to make when we could just be honest with ourselves and have the conversation.” -Emily Williams

“Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.” -Marianne Williamson

When’s the last time you focused on what makes you happy? Do you worry that doing more for yourself is going to negatively impact the important relationships in your life? You aren’t the only one, my friend. So many of us get trapped in this idea that putting others first is the magical ingredient to successful relationships. That’s simply not true. In fact, the opposite is true. This episode is all about why and how the success of your relationships with others depends on your ability to put yourself first

I know, it sounds counterintuitive. But it really makes a lot of sense when you dig deeper. So yes, I’m here to tell you that it is okay to be selfish. The truth is, the individual is just as important as the relationship. In romance, we get so caught up in this idea of finding the person who “completes” us that we lose sight of what makes us happiest and healthiest. We spend so much time worrying about how others are going to judge our decisions and trying to do what we think will create the least amount of conflict. However, if you think about it, successful relationships are about communication, not judgement.

That’s why James and I recorded this episode. We wanted to talk about how focusing on and learning about ourselves keeps our relationship strong. We’ve been able to grow together as individuals and a couple and we hope the journey we’ve been on in our relationship can help you reflect upon your own. Oh,and don’t get caught up by the word “relationship” here. The advice we dive into in this episode is seriously for anyone. Our advice can be applied to relationships with friends, spouses, teammates (even spouses who are teammates), you name it.

Taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do for any relationship. That’s why we use this episode to discuss just why it’s so imperative to be able to define what makes you happy and why you need to stop making yourself wrong for whatever that may be. We touch upon the importance of being honest and speaking your truth in relationships. We also look into how our relationships are actually a reflection of our relationship with ourselves (including the judgements and fears we have!). Lastly, we touch upon why having differences is okay (and how to know when a relationship is no longer serving you).

We hope this episode can help you understand why creating a positive, strong, healthy relationship with yourself will open the door for you to have an incredible relationship with your spouse (or anyone else in your life). And if this episode inspires you and you are looking for more support in being true to your more authentic self and transforming your mindset, remember that the IHML Community is about so much more than business.

Quotes:

“When you really consider that concept of someone else being your everything, really think about that. Because if you're not your everything, how on earth can you expect to be making the choices that are going to make you happy? If you can't be your everything, and you're putting that on someone else, you're taking your own power away to resolve the inevitable challenges that come along with life.” -James Willaims

“I think we all have these rules in our minds about what relationships are supposed to look like, how we're supposed to behave. And then of course, there's gender roles. And it's just in our perspective, the most important thing has been to be honest, and to honor ourselves and to essentially put ourselves first.” -Emily Williams

“All great teams are made up of individuals who are authentic and owning their mastery to the best of their ability. And then the skill is to take those individuals and match them in a way that creates a result.“ -James Williams

We’ve all heard the phrase “two minds are better than one,” and it’s so true. This is the beauty of joining a Mastermind. I mean, seriously, there’s so much power there. (I’ll even share some of my own experiences with Masterminds in this episode). From support and inspiration to advice and accountability, the benefits can help propel you in the direction of some of your biggest goals. You have opportunities to learn, grow, and really just level up your business.

And I want that for you. But I get it and know that it can be a little intimidating to choose a Mastermind when there are so many options out there (I’ve been there!). Masterminds come in all shapes and sizes, so it can be a little overwhelming to figure out which one is right for you. Trust me, I can assure you that taking the time to get clarity and figure this out is so important before making the investment with your time and money.

Some Masterminds more structured, step-by-step learning experiences, others are more focused around networking, and others that are more just support-style groups. Regardless of the type of Mastermind you ultimately choose, you want to be sure it is the right fit for you. So, in this episode, I give you three things to think about before committing to any program, group, or coaching experience you are considering to help you learn, grow, and level up!

First, I talk about why it’s so important to be able to really look at the leader of the Mastermind with admiration. You also need to really know what you want to get out of the group and that’s why I explain why knowing the coach isn’t quite enough. You want to really understand more about the other participants (How many are there? What types of people are they?). Last (but certainly not least) you have to know if the program has the ability to help you get the results you desire.

Keeping that last one in mind, I also touch upon a little myth that Masterminds are a magic pill for success. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who join Masterminds with this expectation. And, yes, I can tell you from experience as both a member and leader of Masterminds, they truly can transform you. BUT you have to be ready and willing to show up. And honestly, if you’re not willing or ready to do that, do yourself a favor and save your money.

But, if you are ready to level up your business and step into the next chapter of your success story, do your research and take action. I hope this episode will help you do so with clarity.

Want to see if the I Heart My Life Mastermind is the right fit for you? Book a call with us today.

In this episode…

[02:04] What is a Mastermind?

[03:18] Different types of Masterminds.

[04:18] Do you aspire to be where the leader/coach is?

[08:09] Who are the participants?

[09:34] Learning from other participants.

[11:43] Will this help me get results?

[12:30] Am I willing to show up and go all in?

[15:22] What does it look like to hold yourself accountable?

“A group of brains coordinated or connected, and a spirit of harmony will provide more thought energy than a single brain.” -Napoleon Hill

“There's a lot of people out there who start businesses and maybe you’re one of them and your family and friends don't actually understand what it is that you're doing. And so being a part of a group that does get what you want to do is really important and it's essential to your development.” -Emily Wiliams

“The program that you're considering can be the best program in the world. But unless you are willing to show up and actually do the work and you won't get results.” -Emily Williams

2020 has been quite the year, but I think it’s important to note that there has been some good amid all of this chaos. Yes, this year has been brought upon unprecedented changes and challenges in so many ways. On the other hand, it’s been full of opportunities to get realigned with our purpose and intuition. To shift our mindset to be more grateful for the little things that bring us joy. To open the door for new opportunities in our lives and businesses.

I am so excited to share this conversation with one of my incredible IHML Mastermind students, Rose Lounsbury, because her transformation over the last year is just so inspiring. Rose is living proof that even in the craziest of years (hello, 2020!) you have the power to change your life. You can still scale your business (or completely change it, like Rose did). You can create more time and space for what makes you happy. You can learn to take better care of yourself mental and physically.

While Rose is a simplicity coach specializing in helping people living happier lives with less stuff, she entered 2020 ready for more. More fulfillment. More happiness. More success in her business. She leveraged this year to learn and grow as she finally stopped saying yes to what no longer served her and started saying yes to her intuition. We talk about everything from transitioning into an online business, engaging more with her audience (and family!), practicing more gratitude, making better decisions for her health, and doing more of what makes her happy.

So, tune in to this episode to learn just what Rose did this year to lead to both personal and professional success (she literally shares a list!). The best part? Rose is completely transparent here. Listen as she gets real about the challenge of learning to trust yourself. Hear her thoughts on everything from how simplifying the expectations you have for yourself can totally change your day to why asking for help is not a weakness. I’m telling you, by listening to this conversation, you will walk away with more than an inspiring story. You’ll also have a list of key takeaways you can apply to your own transformation starting today.

Are you feeling inspired by Rose’s success story yet? Same. Every time I hear her story, I’m blown away. Truthfully, I’m honored to be a part of it through our Mastermind. The IHML Mastermind helped transform Rose’s life by giving her the tools and support she needed to step into her power and continue living her best life. If you’re curious to see if we can do that for you too, head over to our website to see how IHML Mastermind could help transform your life too.

Quotes:

“I'm going to use this, I'm going to build something. That's going to go beyond this and I'm not going back. Like COVID provides me that really great excuse to stop doing the business this way. But it's, it's also when I'm going to build the better thing and then I'm going forward in that way.” -Rose Lounsbury

”And so it was just this moment where I was like, when you let go of the thing that you need to let go of, the next thing is right there. And it just like gave me that faith that yes, it's okay to let go because the universe is going to provide me with that next thing.” -Rose Lounsbury

“You think, well, I don't need any other additional help, but actually it's amazing. Like when you humble yourself enough to realize like, like we can all receive help and it's a beautiful thing that it makes a big difference in our lives. “ -Rose Lounsbury

“Learning to trust myself, it sounds easy, but man, is that the most challenging thing that you can ever attempt to do.” -Rose Lounsbury

‘Tis the season to be grateful, right? But, honestly, gratitude deserves a special place in your heart and mind every. single. day. It’s all about a shift in your mindset. I mean, how many times have you gotten out of bed with dread on your heart and on your mind? It’s time to start retraining your brain to focus on the positive (it really does work) and I’m totally here for it.

I continue to be blown away by the power of adopting a more grateful mindset. Gratitude has changed my life in so many ways (including leading me to create I Heart My Life) and it can do the same for you. I know-- we’re all busy. But all it takes is a mere few minutes of each day to create meaningful shifts in your life (and business).

Truthfully, it took hitting a low point in my life (hello, quarter-life crisis) for me to reconnect with the idea of gratitude and really look into making it part of my day-to-day life. I was at a point where I was ready and willing to try anything to feel good again. To have clarity. To find my purpose.

And so began my journey of intentionally practicing gratitude each and every day.

And here’s what I quickly realized: Gratitude follows the Law of Attraction. The more we acknowledge the positive influences in our life, the more goodness and positivity we will attract. No joke, I landed my dream job and my dream guy after shifting into a more grateful mindset.

But being grateful means you have to settle, right? Wrong. I found that my gratitude helped propel me in the direction of my desires. Here’s how it works: Once you start paying attention to the good things you have in front of you, the more awareness you’ll have for the possibilities before you.

And this isn’t just some overly idealistic thought, either. Listen as I share the research supporting the positive impact practicing gratitude has on our minds (including changing and retraining our brains) and bodies, as well as those around us. Friends, gratitude has the power to change the world and now is the perfect time to create your own gratitude practice. Like I said, it only takes a few minutes a day... Ready to learn how? Press play!

In this Episode:

[02:12] My roots with gratitude.

[04:28] Learn the power of the little things.

[05:34] Drive and gratitude can co-exist.

Quotes:

“I think so often we, as driven women, believe that being grateful and being driven are

mutually exclusive. But what I found was that it was so imperative for me to be grateful so that I could go to the next level and my drive would actually be met with results.” -Emily Williams

“We get what we focus on. And so when you're focused on all the things that aren't going, right, or all the things that you want, that you don't currently have, that's what your eyes are going to see.” -Emily Williams

“If we think about the energy that we're giving off, it's like a magnet. It's either going to attract people and attract the things that you want, or it's going to repel it.” -Emily Williams

Does the thought of hiring members to your team totally overwhelm you? Are you worried about the how-to behind finding, training, and retaining the right people for your team? Well, my friend, you are not alone. Truthfully, I am still working on this process in my company. That’s why I am so grateful for my newfound friendship with Dom Farnan, a woman who has literally made a life out of recruiting the right people to get a job done.

Dom’s road to running a successful business (and team) is a unique one. She began paving her path toward entrepreneurship at just 17 (!!) years old and has so much to offer here as she shares the journey that led her to the career she has today: running a small team of 15 people at her recruitment agency, Dot Connect. Listen as she shares her trials and tribulations in hopes of helping you build the right team for your business.

It took a friend to push her to move beyond her scarcity mindset and take the leap toward hiring a team, but once she did, Dom quickly learned how leading with abundance can totally change your confidence as a business owner and leader. After a few bumps in the road (client pushback is real) and scaling back her team that was a little too big for her vision, Dom realized building a team allowed her to build her business.

As for her fears of transitioning responsibility over to other people? Having a team doesn’t have to mean you’re out of the picture. Dom explains how it’s all about being intentional with hiring the right people and setting them (and inherently your business) up for success.

Despite what your fears are telling you, operating a successful business doesn’t have to be a one-woman show. Listen as we discuss how having a team is actually beneficial to your clients and opens new possibilities when it comes to scaling your business. She gives the rundown of how to approach the hiring process (hint: don’t rush it), including looking for people who align with your values and possess beneficial attributes that cannot be taught (like, as Dom says, “giving a sh*t”).

Worried about how to go about handing off responsibilities to your team? It can be scary for sure. Take baby steps, start with the foundations, and lead by example. Having your team members shadow you is always a great idea. And guess what? When you surround yourself with people you can teach and trust to do the job well, it feels really empowering. You might just even find time to focus on other aspects of your life and business that you love.

If you missed out on our Millionaire Summit, this is a special treat for you. In this episode, I share the actual recording of my teaching from the training. So, if you’re ready to own your dreams and desires, and if you were ready to hit that coveted seven-figure milestone– like yesterday– you don’t want to miss this. Grab a notebook, get comfortable, and press play.

I was able to raise the bar and build a seven-figure business by keeping a possibility mindset. I held myself to the expectation that I could bring life to my vision and took action in the direction of my dreams.

And guess what? It’s possible for you too.

But it’s easy to want to do the big thing. Actually doing it? That takes time, effort, and dedication. That’s why I begin this episode with why it’s so important to really specify your goals and own your desires, instead of feeling wrong for them. Being honest with yourself helps uncover the fears that are holding you back.

Now, you are not alone in your fears (you can hear the real-life fears of the summit attendees in this episode), but you can’t allow yourself to remain stuck. If you want to raise the bar, you can’t keep playing it small. What if instead of fearing your goals, you practiced future gratitude for achievements they will bring? (Hint: it will literally create more positive vibes for you).

Now I’m not perfect (let’s be honest, no one is), but I know how important it is to commit to myself and my goals no matter what. That’s why I talk about the importance of commitment, consistency, and showing up even when it feels like it is not happening (like during a period of 54 ‘no’s in a row– true story). This devotion and commitment to yourself is the difference between raising the bar or staying where you’re at.

Successful people have the following in common: They know what it is that they actually want. They uncover what might be holding them back and do the work to overcome and transform their physical and mental blocks. They continue to show up. And last, but certainly not least, they are consistent in their commitment to themselves and their vision.

With that in mind, I wrap up with a series of questions you can ask yourself today to help you get on track to achieving those goals you’ve been dreaming about (remember, dreams without action are just… well, dreams).

Despite all of the insightful advice and actionable steps, there’s so much more to raising the bar that couldn’t possibly fit into a single podcast episode. So, if you’re interested in learning more about how you can raise the bar and hit that seven-figure milestone, check out our I Heart My Life Mastermind to see how we can help you get there.

In this Episode:

[03:29] Creeping or quantum leaping: What would you choose?

[04:20] My story (the SparkNotes version).

[06:54] “Whatever you see out there is possible for you too.”

[08:38] Your dreams might be pipedream… if you don’t take action.

[18:44] What are the fears and insecurities around your goals?

[20:45] Getting real about success and relationships.

[29:29] Getting specific with what it is you actually want. What is your capacity to get there?

[34:35] Stop keeping yourself small. Why you need to double your goal.

[37:35] The importance of committing to yourself (and your goals).

[44:33] Review the action steps to help you raise the bar.

Quotes:

“You have to start to trust that you are being guided in what it is that you truly desire to do and that those desires– they’re literally dropped in because that’s what you’re meant to do. It’s not even a question. It’s a no brainer. That’s what you’re meant to do. And once you start trusting that, then you can trust that the people in your life will be there if they’re meant to be there.” -Emily Williams

“Our desires are our fuel. When we deny them, when we make ourselves wrong for them, then we won’t reach them. Because we don’t want to judge ourselves. And if we’re judging those desires, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. So what if you showed gratitude for your desires before they arrive and also just because they exist they’re helping you raise the bar.” -Emily Williams

“If you are an entrepreneur and looking to do extraordinary things, you need to become extraordinary in terms of your mindset and your actions. So you need to stop holding yourself back. You are capable of far more than you realize. Now, what that takes is a commitment to yourself.” -Emily Williams

Let me ask you this: What’s holding you back from your next great idea? From your big dream? From doing the thing you can’t stop thinking about? If your answer is fear, you’re not alone. Follow along as I share a real-life coaching session with one of our amazing I Heart My Life membership students all about tackling that fear that is keeping her from pursuing her next big achievement.

Meet Anne McHale. Anne is a wine connoisseur with many years of experience working as a consultant and teacher in the hospitality industry. After COVID pushed her to launch her first online program this past August, Anne saw the doors of possibility fly open. Now, she is looking to level up her income and stop trading her time for money by tapping into the larger market of the general consumer.

And let’s get real here. People love wine. Yet, despite having an incredible idea for a course and being a (literal) certified Master of Wine, she is weighed down by those pesky, fear-inspired doubts we all know too well. What if no one purchases my offer? What if it's not good enough? How can I compete with everyone out there offering things for free?

As we dig deeper into Anne’s fears (ones that are shared by many), I explain to her the way our brain can stand between us and our biggest dreams. Are you ready for it?

Our minds are always going to look for reasons NOT to do something.

It’s unfortunate, but it’s true.

Keeping that truth in mind, we discuss the importance of selling to yourself before you can even begin trying to sell to others. Anne explores this and other mindset changes she can make, as well as tangible things she can do, to achieve the results she desires for herself and her clients.

We talk about everything from finding your edge in the market to the importance of reminding yourself of your expertise and past success. And even though Anne can’t quite identify her absolute favorite type of wine, she does leave the call able to identify clear, actionable steps she will take to stop wishing and start doing.

Anne’s story is one I have come across again and again (hey, even I face some of these fears at times). Our session (and the realizations it brought about) shows just how important coaching is when it comes to unlocking that next step in your business. These powerful conversations help to unlock the belief we need in ourselves to make huge strides in the direction of our dreams.

Have you been feeling like fear is keeping you from your dreams? Book your Clarity Call today to see how we can help you break through the barriers holding you back.

Quotes:

“All you have to know is you were given this desire for a reason and now your job is to take action. So you need to be on high alert any time your mind tries to take you down that rabbit hole and remind yourself what you’re capable of and that there are people who will purchase this.” -Emily Williams

“I got to the overall mapping out of my dreams, but when it started to get more specific, I kind of felt all this resistance coming up. So I haven't actually sat and mapped that out.” -Anne McHale

“There's a fear that I would disappoint people. That I'd be charging too much, given how much free content there is out there about wine and how many wine people are out there sharing knowledge. Why would they pay for me?” -Anne McHale

People love talking about their marketing tricks and money-making tips, but it turns out there’s another (less sexy) secret to people’s success: morning routines. Before you start thinking you’re “too busy” and other excuses for why a structured routine is not in the cards for you, know that I wasn’t always a believer either. As it turns out, when I follow my morning routine, my days are so. much. better.

So, I’m dedicating this episode to sharing the details of and whys behind my morning routine. Now, I know that what works for me might not be what fuels your fire (and that’s totally okay). I hope to inspire you to find a routine that works for you (not against you), helping you be the best version of you for the sake of your mind, body, and business.

Let’s be real, the hardest part about establishing a morning routine is… well… establishing one. This episode dives into everything from setting up a strong foundation with sleep to prioritizing your (sometimes dreaded) to-do list.

Prioritizing your day is essential. The first part of my routine is all about health and nutrition because I need to start with whatever I am most likely to find an excuse not to do. Maybe, like me, you want to get that workout done first thing in the morning– otherwise, it won’t get done– but you look for every excuse in the book of why you can’t do it. You can’t find your sock. You don’t have a hair elastic. Whatever it is, push past the excuses because I promise it feels good to fulfill your commitment to yourself. Then, once you’ve done what you have to (but maybe not wanted to) do, you can shift your focus onto what fires you up.

It doesn’t all have to be a struggle. Be sure to leave time to do something that brings you joy. Me? I love learning from and being inspired by others. That’s why make time for inspiration and learning in my routine (podcasts are my favorite). If you’re short on time, take a page out of my book and try listening to a podcast or audiobook while you get ready.

I always end my morning routine by checking in with my amazing project manager. I keep it short and easy because I know it’s imperative to the alignment and success of my team. By the end of my routine, I’m feeling accomplished and inspired, ready to fully dive into my workday!

So tune in to learn how you too can find a morning routine that has you feeling good and ready to seize the day (Warning: it might take a little tweaking until you find the right fit for you). Remember, when your mind tries to talk you out of it (trust me, it will) remember your why and keep pushing through. The results will follow!

In this Episode:

[5:12] Why I wake up (and go to bed) early.

[6:51] Why I battle my temptation to work first thing in the morning.

[8:10] How having a “no excuse” mentality helps me get through my workout.

[11:43] The importance of fueling your body (and the recipe for the shake I drink daily!).

[14:09] How I built a routine, even when it didn’t come easily to me.

[15:32] Understanding the connection between health and success.

[17:41] The benefit extension mindset that helps me stay committed to my morning routine.

[20:35] My morning coffee tips.

[21:18] The importance of ‘filling up your cup’ before giving to others.

[22:55] My (super quick) morning meeting routine.

[23:47] Finding a routine that works for YOU.

Quotes:

“I thought I could never do this. But here I am, I’m doing it.” -Emily Williams

“It takes 66 days to form a habit. So if you’re trying this for one day and then you’re failing. That’s not enough time. Think about the other habits in your life and how long it took you to form those.” -Emily Williams

“What if you start to believe that this morning routine is going to make you more successful? This morning routine is going to make you more money? This morning routine means you are going to have more energy to serve your clients or to devote to your family?” -Emily Williams

“For those of us who are in the coaching space or consultants who are giving to people all the time, or maybe you’re an entrepreneur and you’re giving to your team or giving to your clients, regardless, you need to need to think about the way in which you can fill up your cup in the morning before you go and give to others.” -Emily Williams

As a high-performing, driven entrepreneur, you probably feel the need to go, go, go all the time. Does the phrase, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” ring any bells? Well, that mentality is neither healthy nor is it productive. Listen as my husband and Certified High-Performance Coach James joins me to discuss the top four entrepreneurial energy traps and how you can overcome them.

The first trap to consider is our addiction to mental stimulation. So many entrepreneurs feel that if they stop and take a breath, then they’re letting themselves, their businesses, and their employees and contractors down. But the brain wasn’t designed to be “on” all the time. In fact taking the time to rest, refocus, and recharge is imperative to health and growth.

Next is the need to experience extreme euphoria every single day. Think of falling in love. That passion and obsession that you feel initially eventually fades away to a nice, comfortable, steady love. To stay in a state of euphoria would be terrible for your health and for any relationship you might have. So it’s damaging to think that staying in that state for your business is productive.

If you live by the motto, no pain no gain, then you may be a victim of the third energy trap. Sometimes we feel we need to feel fear, pain, and stress, because if we aren’t then we must not be working hard enough. Again, you can love what you’re doing and still be working. If you’re feeling fear, pain, and stress then you’re probably focusing on the wrong things.

Last but certainly not least, entrepreneurs and creatives have a tendency to stay focused in the wrong time. James likens this to there being three rooms that you spend your time in, the past, the present, and the future. We tend to spend more time in the future than in the present, but in reality, the future doesn’t exist. Spend more time in the present and take action and you’ll oftentimes feel less stressed.

Want to know how you can acknowledge and overcome these energy traps? Listen in to hear what James has to say on slowly but surely building habits that kick the traps to the curb. And if you hear nothing else, remember to start taking some small action today. Rome wasn’t built in a day and shifting your mindset around rest and recovery won’t happen in just one day either.

In this Episode:

[02:22] Welcome James back to the show.

[04:15] A quick frame of the four traps to open the conversation.

[05:46] The first challenge that entrepreneurs face is their addiction to mental stimulation.

[09:26] How can we break the addiction to mental stimulation?

[13:41] The addiction to wanting to experience extreme euphoria every day is a lack mindset.

[14:34] What is the second entrepreneurial energy trap?

[18:51] Living an inspiring life requires more than just running a business.

[21:34] It’s important to think of yourself as an athlete because running a business is like running a marathon.

[22:28] What you can do if you’re not sure how to transform your mindset around rest and recovery?

[23:26] The third entrepreneurial energy trap.

[26:01] Hear an amazing quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.

[26:29] How can you change the “need” to feel fear, pain, and stress?

[29:41] Learn the fourth energy trap.

[34:15] Ways that you can keep yourself firmly in the present so that you can take action.

[36:22] If you’re dealing with any of these four things, then make a commitment today to shift away from these traps.

Does taking time off from your business send your anxiety into a frenzy? What if I told you that time away is one of the most important things that you can do for your life, your health, and your business? (Hint: It is!) Which is why I’m sharing how to prepare your business for the holidays.

The first thing you need to do is take stock of what it would look like for you to truly enjoy your holiday season. Would it be hanging out with friends and family? Reading? Blankets and hot cocoa by the fire with loved ones? A trip to go skiing? What’s the real desire?

No matter what it looks like, really visualize the best holiday you can and then think of how many days off you need to make that happen. If you need a few days to get into vacation mode before you can enjoy it, then build in some additional days. If you know that you’re going to want alone time to read or sit in silence or just feel refreshed, then build that in.

Once you’ve determined how many days off you need for your vacation, it’s time to take out your calendar and mark those days off. They’re non-negotiable. So, what do you have going on from a business perspective in Q4 and Q1? Do you have a launch to prepare for? Client work to figure out? What does your work schedule look like?

Then work on getting everything done in advance that you can. Take this podcast for example. I won’t be recording episodes and approving show notes while I’m on vacation. I’ll batch the work and everything will be set up and done far in advance of the vacation.

The last thing to consider (but not last in importance!) is your clients. But the good thing is, they’ll likely be looking to take time off as well. Just be sure to have conversations with them early on so that you manage their expectations and leave them fully supported, even when you’re offline.

Holidays and time off are insanely important for your health and the growth of your business. Don’t succumb to the need to just work through it. Take the time away and come back refreshed for 2021.

In this Episode:

[02:39] What would it look like for you to enjoy the holiday season?

[05:33] Next, decide how many days you want to take off.

[07:52] Why seeing the benefits of all of your hard work helps settle into vacation mode.

[10:50] What are your goals for the rest of the year and Q1 and then think about what that will take from a marketing perspective.

[14:36] How to set up your calendar for success.

[16:11] Ways to make sure your clients are supported but understand that time off is necessary.

[20:39] How do you want to feel at the start of the year?

Have you been thinking upleveling your business but aren’t sure if you’re ready yet? I’ve definitely been there, and I’m sharing the top four signs that you are ready to uplevel your business. Because taking that next step is scary, so if the signs are there, know that you’re ready.

The first sign, the fact that you’re even thinking of upleveling. If it’s in your heart then it’s a sign that you’re ready. There’s obviously a lot more that goes into it, but if you’ve never thought of that next stage of business, then you’re not ready. If you have then you know it’s time to really take a deep dive and consider it.

Next, have you done the fine-tuning in your business? Have you launched several times? Do you have raving fans? Have you systematized the processes in your business to the point that it seems to run on autopilot?

Then it may be time to consider upleveling. If you have the data and the experience with your own products and services and you’re thinking it’s time to scale, then you may be right!

Of course, the next sign is that you actually have the capacity to receive more in your business. If you’re a one-woman show and you’re struggling to get everything done, then you likely don’t have the capacity to receive more. However if you’ve started the hiring process and you have a team and you have the availability, then you probably have the capacity to receive.

Last but not least, your mindset. If you’ve been working on your mindset and you know that you are there, then you’re likely ready to uplevel. Mindset work is so important when you’re thinking of moving to the next level. Your mindset will hold you back if you haven’t been doing the work.

So, where are these signs pointing for you?

In this Episode:

[02:37] Learn the first sign that you’re ready to uplevel.

Have you ever considered what it could do for your life and business if you surround yourself with people who are working with a next-level mindset? What if you learned business strategy and were able to bounce new ideas off those people and get next-level advice? How about realizing that those people are now in your circle and that opportunities may open up for you?

All of these things are why investing in masterminds is so important. Now, not every mastermind is made equal, but they all help you to collaborate with like-minded individuals who are all working toward upleveling their lives and businesses.

So, how can a mastermind explode your business?

As I’ve said, they open doors. You gain the recognition of an entirely different group of people.

Joining masterminds also gives you confidence. By surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you or have more experience than you, you’ve opened the door to learning what you need to know to grow in confidence and skill.

Listen in to hear all the ways masterminds can help explode your business. And if you’re ready, consider the IHML Mastermind!

Let me know if this has ever happened to you. You’re absolutely certain about a new career path and you’ve taken the leap and invested in it. And then the doubt creeps in and you start second-guessing everything that you’ve gone through to make it to this point.

Has that ever happened to you?

It has for me. And it started to happen to one of our new I Heart Coaching members, Florence Andrews, but she reached out and shared her concerns and she agreed to a real-life coaching session. You see, she is not alone in her fears and she’s willing to help someone else by sharing her story!

Her biggest concern after making the investment in I Heart Coaching stems from the thought of failure. If she fails to make her coaching dreams come true, what would that mean for her family? So we talk through it. I have her go through an exercise digging deep into what it would mean if she fails at this venture.

Then we discuss how she would feel if she never took the leap. If she played it safe and never went after her dreams. She definitely had a stronger reaction to one over the other and I bet you can guess which.

Listen in as we discuss her fears, how to overcome them, and actionable steps she can take toward making her dreams come true now. We dive into the numbers and find clarity around what she needs to make it through this period of time and how she can make that happen.

This is a fantastic episode if you’ve been letting fear hold you back. There are ways to put fear on the backburner once you realize that your fears are your mind’s way of keeping you safe. You don’t need to be safe, you need to be bold! Listen to learn more.

In this Episode:

[00:19] Welcome to this real coaching session with Florence Andrews.

[02:27] Learn more about Florence and her business concerns.

[05:20] Florence shares her worst-case scenario and Emily helps her delve deeper into it.

[07:59] Where does her true fear stem from?

[10:18] On the flip side, what is the worst-case scenario if she never goes for her coaching dreams?

[13:21] What would help shift her scarcity mindset?

[14:33] Learn more about Florence’s best-case scenario.

[17:08] How her vision of the future can direct her present actions.

[19:30] Has she broken down what she needs to earn to live?

[24:07] Does she have her coaching packages created?

[26:33] Who does Florence want to work with?

[30:40] When you have a financial goal you need to ask yourself what the fastest path is to reaching it.

Quotes:

“The fear, the worry, and the doubt is literally just one of those ways that the mind tries to keep us stuck and stop us from moving closer to the vision.” Emily Williams

So many people, women, in particular, wonder if they could possibly be good business owners. The best way to overcome this is by learning how to think like an entrepreneur. I know that sounds a little far fetched, but so much of your success in business comes first from your thoughts, feelings, and how you take action.

That’s why I’m sharing my top tips on how to think like an entrepreneur. Which all starts with…

Not thinking. It’s true. The first step is to stop allowing your thoughts to keep you from taking action in the first place. Step away from the negative self-talk and the limiting beliefs and know that if you truly desire it, then you’re meant to start that business.

Once your desire is in place, ask yourself what the best way to achieve it is. That is a very important question to really sit in and figure out the ways in which you can make your desire come true quickly and efficiently. Keep this question in mind as you grow your business and you’re considering new directions.

Also, don’t be afraid to take risks. A business owner’s life is filled with moments where risk is involved and becoming comfortable with taking risks is imperative to growth. Every decision you make in your business has some risk associated with it. Just embrace the risk and do what makes the most sense in the moment.

But always try to look at your decisions based on where you want to go, not where you’re at right now. If you want to run a multi-six-figure business, don’t make decisions based on your current situation. Take action now toward your dream and make it a point to continue making those higher level decisions throughout!

Listen in to hear all of the ways you can switch your mindset and start thinking like an entrepreneur. Your mindset is a constant work in progress and it starts with your thinking. Shift your thoughts and you’ll see huge growth in your life and business.

In this Episode:

[01:41] Why becoming a business owner was less about thought and more about action for Emily.

[02:53] Once you have the desire in place, ask yourself what the best way to do this is.

[04:55] Don’t be scared to take risks. They’re necessary.

[08:03] Make decisions based on where you want to be, not from where you currently are.

[09:26] Fall in love with the process of building a business.

[11:38] Be prepared to make sacrifices.

[15:28] Are you connected with your vision for your company?

[16:37] Learn to love the challenges.

[18:49] Don’t be scared to make quick decisions.

[21:45] Ask yourself, what is the domino effect of the decision I’m making?

[22:42] Straddle the future and the current moment at the same time.

[23:45] Why you need to learn to delegate sooner rather than later.

[24:47] Business does not always need to be emotional.

Your desires are meant for you and possible. Period.

And yet most people are in denial about what they actually want. And even when they know what they want, they deny that it can happen.

My belief is that your desires are meant for you and possible. They are literally dropped in. And as I share on today’s episode, if you desire it, you actually already have it. (Don’t worry -- that will make far more sense once you listen.)

I know that desire can be a less than tangible concept for many women, but it’s truly the secret to my success and one of the most powerful learnings that you can take with you into life and business. It literally makes everything clearer and easier. And who doesn’t want that?

Listen in as I share an exercise I use to figure out exactly what I desire and how I map out the path to attaining those desires. You see, it’s not enough to simply want something. I’ll teach you the steps to take to literally get anything you want and ultimately learn to trust yourself and your desires.

In this Episode:

[02:20] Do you know what desire actually is?

[05:08] Desire is a sign that you already have it.

[07:56] Emily shares one of her favorite quotes and why desire is how you get to the next level.

[10:18] Stop believing your negative thoughts.

[12:03] You’ll be judged whether you’re wealthy or poor. Why stay small?

[14:55] If you must doubt something, doubt your limits.

[17:34] An exercise for you to learn more about desires.

When I was 25, I experienced a true quarter-life crisis. I was miserable but I was driven to find my happiness. So I wrote a letter to myself detailing where I was and what I wanted out of that next year of life. From there, I’ve actively searched for the lessons learned each year and now, a decade later, it’s time to share.

There are so many things I could say about this past decade, but the most important is that it has been one of growth. I moved to London, I found love, I found coaching, I built a business, and through it all, I’ve grown as a woman and a business owner.

The very first lesson I learned was to follow my heart. For so many people my move to London seemed like it was done on a whim. Little did they know that I’ve always been fascinated by England, it’s history, literature, and culture. I’d always dreamed of living in London, so I followed my heart and I did it.

London is where I found love. James and I met through a dating site and it was during a period that I was really finding the strength to put myself out there and search for my dreams. Luckily I did, because finding James has led to so many more beautiful moments and I couldn’t have built my business without him.

Every single year has brought me new revelations and new lessons. Everything from really reaching for my dreams and making them happen to overcoming challenges with gratitude and a willingness to learn.

This past decade has been a whirlwind, but I am so happy to be where I am now and I intend to keep on living in and with these lessons. What lessons have you learned in the last ten years? How will they impact your next ten?

In this Episode:

[01:38] Hear a letter she wrote to herself when she was 25.

[05:25] How her life has changed since that letter.

[06:05] Lesson number one is from 2010, always follow your heart.

[08:52] Lesson number two is from 2011, always put yourself out there.

[13:02] In 2012, the lesson was to shoot for the stars. Learn more!

[15:51] Hear Emily’s lesson for 2013.

[18:18] 2014 was an incredibly important year and the lessons learned were huge.

[21:58] Keep traveling and don’t miss the moments. The lesson learned from 2015.

[26:52] Feel the fear and do it anyway. 2016 was a huge year for her.

[29:59] 2017 was a year of challenge but it was still a great year.

[32:09] People are not looking for perfection so don’t be scared to be vulnerable.

[34:27] Last but not least, the lesson learned from 2019 was to be grateful.

“When you put yourself out there in any kind of way on any social media platform, that’s kind of part and parcel of it. We all know that we’re opening ourselves up to a level of judgment, but I also didn’t know that my videos would go viral overnight.” - Amy Sangster

“Even if you’re staying small, people are still judging you. So you may as well put yourself out there and take that judgment because you’re getting it anyway and at least benefit from all of the positives that actually come from sharing your message to that wider audience.” - Amy Sangster

Have you ever thought about coaching and felt your entire body light up at the thought of helping others find their passion and purpose? That right there is desire. If you have the desire then your dreams are possible.

But for so many people, fear keeps them from seeking out and reaching their desires. That’s why I’m debunking three myths that I hear daily from people who want to start their coaching businesses but have been blindsided by mistruths.

First, if you have a message to share that is unique to you, then you are fully capable of creating a profitable coaching business. So many people focus on the fact that there are umpteen thousand business coaches in the world, but what they fail to realize is that there are 7 billion (with a B) people in the world and most of them are online.

No matter how many umpteen thousand business coaches there are, they can’t serve every single person who is online today.

Mind you, business coaching is not the only moneymaker in the coaching world. Coaches exist and have purpose for every type of issue we face. No matter if it’s relationships, business, money, anxiety, you name it, there are coaches for it. What issues are YOU passionate about. I can almost guarantee you there are coaches in that space.

Last but not least, you do NOT have to be certified to be a coach. As with all things that come on paper, experience beats intellectual knowledge all day every day. If you have the experience, then you are more likely to be an effective coach in your space than someone who only has a piece of paper.

In this Episode:

[00:52] Are you questioning your coaching dreams? Keep listening!

[02:58] Do you have a message that is unique to you and your ideal clients?

[04:16] A few statistics about the number of people you need to serve to meet your needs.

[05:19] Do you need to be a business coach to make money?

[06:41] Are certifications necessary to be a successful coach?

[09:08] The best way to learn how to properly coach.

[11:07] If you have a desire in your heart, it is meant for you and possible.

What you think is holding you back isn’t always the culprit. What do I mean by that?

Listen as I share a real-life coaching session with one of our amazing I Heart My Life Membership members. Janet has seen herself as a “procrastinator” her whole life, but only recently realized how her negative self-view has affected her business overall. (And procrastination isn’t even her real block!)

Janet is a writer and helps create course material for her clients. She’s been working for a variety of companies doing a wide range of writing, but only recently realized how much the content itself affects her ability to complete the work. She’s since leaned into the idea that she is a prolific procrastinator because she’s been struggling with completing one particular course.

As the conversation continues and we chat about the origins of her procrastination story, I ask her a very important question. Can you guess what it is? Don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging. I ask...

How much does she charge for her services?

You see Janet has been working 70+ hour weeks, has been homeschooling her kids, is the main provider for her family, and she’s trying to take back her time without losing out on needed income for her family.

As we chat more about her rates and the work that she does, her true block comes to light.

Janet’s story is a clear example of why coaching is SO important for all business owners. Sometimes simply being able to talk about your business and share your experiences is all you need to make huge leaps forward in your mindset, strategy, and process.

If you’ve been feeling the desire to invest in your business in a big way, then check out our I Heart Coaching Program.

In this Episode:

[01:44] Learn more about Janet and the work that she does.

[03:00] What are Janet’s financial goals for her business?

[05:18] Learn how Janet would bring in quickly and joyfully.

[07:32] How would it feel to move forward with her own course?

[08:06] Who originally told her she was a procrastinator? Are there areas in her life that she doesn’t?

[10:10] What’s scary about saying no to work?

[13:05] How can you generate momentum in your business?

[14:33] Learn how Janet plans to use this method?

[16:16] Janet shares some barriers that are holding her back.

[18:28] Is there anything positive when she goes into doubt?

[20:08] How many projects does Janet take at one time?

[21:56] Where are her prices currently sitting for her services?

[25:46] Your pricing reflects your money mindset as well.

[28:25] Has Janet done much money mindset work?

The sure thing isn’t always so definitive. Many of us think that we’re safe in our corporate jobs because we get our weekly salary and the benefits are nice. But then something like COVID comes around and we realize that our security blanket isn’t real.

Both Kristen Kunk and Nicole Hamzeloo found themselves caught up in layoffs earlier this year due to the global pandemic. Instead of wallowing in doubt and fear, however, they decided to look at this as an opportunity to pursue their passions. Both of them joined our I Heart Coaching program and they’re sharing how their lives have changed in unexpected ways.

For both of these women, they knew that if they were going to go all-in on their business, then they needed to find the support that would help them reach their goals.

We all have our money stories sitting in the wings of our minds ready to “keep us safe” when we venture into new territory. Whether it be in our lives, our businesses, or any other venture, our minds are designed to keep us safe from the fear of the unknown. Listen as I do a live coaching session with Rachel Gully and discuss how investing in her business would mean the difference between living her dreams or wallowing in her current reality.

Rachel is an empowerment coach for women seeking to overcome body image issues and a lack of confidence in themselves and their bodies. She’s been dabbling in her business for the past 18 months or so, but when COVID hit she knew she needed to start making some changes. She shares that investing in her own coaching would help her move the needle, but she’s not sure where to find the money.

Now there are many different ways that we can all find the money to fund our dreams, but when it comes down to it, we all face the same fears. The one that is most prevalent for Rachel is the fear of failure and a feeling of having lost out on her dream. But the feelings she fears are the same ones she’s currently living with.

Listen in as we dig deeper into Rachel’s fears and everything that’s holding her back from moving forward. We also visualize what life would be like if she did move forward in her business, did the work, and came out on the other side of 10 years living her version of success.

Visualization is so powerful and the future that Rachel maps out is clear and detailed and obviously the vision that she needs to be in service to. If you’ve been dealing with your own mindset blocks, then you won’t want to miss out on this episode.

If you feel called to be a coach, then know that you can make it happen. Coaching is the second-fastest-growing industry in the world and it’s truly no wonder as more and more people are looking internally for change and abundance. Today I’m sharing the techniques I use when coaching my clients to help you gain more confidence when working with your own.

Before I do any work with my clients, I visualize their successful and thriving business. I visualize having a successful call. I step fully into a place of belief in my client, their business, and the purpose of our call. I want to make sure that I approach every call in the best frame of mind to help my clients see results.

I’m not responsible for the results they achieve because I’m not the one doing the work, but I am dedicated to doing my part in helping them realize their own desires.

So you first have to be brave and be willing to ask your clients to get raw and go deep into their blocks. Then remember that you cannot and should not buy into the stories that they’re telling themselves. They are paying you to help them change their internal stories, so do them the favor of helping them realize that they’re excuses are not moving them forward.

You are not your client’s friend. They are not paying you to be their cheerleader. They are paying you to help them get results in their lives and businesses, so remember that while you can like your clients and enjoy spending time with your clients, you are still not their best friend.

Listen in to hear the last three techniques I use with all of my clients. Stop beating around the bush with your clients. They don’t want you to tell them what they want to hear. They want you to push them and hold them accountable.

If you’re ready to stop ineffectual coaching practices, then join us at the 2-Day Intensive for New and Aspiring Online Coaches. We are going to dig deep and uncover all the goldmines you need for your coaching business. Go to www.iheartcoaching.com and register today.

In this Episode:

[02:10] The number one thing I always have to remember when approaching calls with clients.

[06:04] Don’t buy into their story. What does that mean?

[07:00] You are not your client’s friend.

[09:33] Why you need to speak the truth with love.

[10:50] Your intuition is there for a reason.

[13:54] Honesty isn’t the best policy, it’s the most important policy.

[14:33] A quick recap of the techniques I use.

[15:05] One of the best things I’ve learned through years of coaching.

[15:45] Why working with mentors was the best thing I ever did.

Quotes:

“Know that it is safe for you to speak your truth to your clients. It is safe for you to reflect back what you’re seeing. It’s your duty to hold them more accountable and to a higher level than they’re holding for themselves.” - Emily Williams

“Directness is so needed in the world. So many people are covering up their emotions, their real feelings and they’re not actually speaking the truth. So remember you get to make a difference.” - Emily Williams

Another 30 days down on my fitness journey and I’m baring it all. (Not literally though!) This part of the program has definitely been a bit harder than the first part and I started struggling with finding time to do everything. Lisa and I dig into the whole month and share my goals for the last part of the program.

So, I came out of the gates swinging going all-in on this journey. I wanted to feel stronger, healthier, and have more energy and I was willing to put in the time and effort to make it happen. But then I started to plateau.

If you’ve ever been on any kind of a diet or exercise plan and felt the devastation that is the plateau, you know what I’m talking about. Thank goodness Lisa has a plan for when each of her clients inevitably reaches that point.

For me, the plan involved reintroducing clean carbs into my diet. Here’s the thing though. In my mind, all carbs equal the instigators of gaining weight. I have been programmed to think that carbs are the reason women gain weight and I had to overcome some mindset blocks of my own to start eating them again.

But there is a difference between clean carbs and dirty carbs and I’m glad I now know the difference. We also started introducing an indulgence meal and it was extremely eye-opening for me. I decided to have pizza and after I had it, I realized that it just wasn’t worth it.

The pizza wasn’t satisfying and it didn’t sustain me the way I wanted it to. The soft, warm chocolate chip cookie however was 100% worth it.

Listen in to hear all about how I have started finding time in my schedule to keep on working out and making sure that I stick with my nutrition. Exercise always seems to be the first thing to go for me, and Lisa shares why it should be exercise versus food.

I’m so excited about my progress and I can’t wait to keep going!

In this Episode:

[02:09] Welcome Lisa back to the I Heart My Life Show to chat about fitness and health.

[03:32] Why do people start to plateau in their fitness and nutrition plans?

[05:59] Lisa digs deeper into the nutrition piece of the plateau process.

[08:54] How I felt when we re-introduced carbs into my diet after a plateau.

[10:54] Why clean carbs are important to your overall diet.

[11:52] How does Lisa know if someone needs to go down the carbs or fats route?

[14:08] Learn why I don’t call indulgence meals “cheat” meals and how I feel about them now.

[15:05] The science behind the foods our bodies crave.

[19:29] What should the ratio of clean eating to indulgence eating should be?

[22:45] How can you get back on track when life seems to take over?

[25:48] What to do when you’re ready to get back to it.

[26:38] It’s important to reconnect with why you started.

[28:04] Incremental goals make a huge transformation possible.

[31:10] If you’re naturally negative you have to work harder to see the positive change.

[32:57] Learn one of the things that has held me back from exercising in the past.

[36:09] Scheduling and organization are the keys to change.

[38:26] How realistic would it be for me to lose 8lbs in the next 30 days?

[41:54] Client wins bring us both so much joy.

Quotes:

“Yeah, absolutely, grind. But that doesn’t mean that rest is not important. Sometimes the best thing for someone to lose weight… is rest.” - Lisa Bodenburg

“We have to self-validate along the way so that our mind knows we’re on the right path, this is actually working, we’re gonna keep going. Otherwise, if we wait until the end we’re going to lose motivation because we just haven’t gotten there yet.” - Emily Williams

Sometimes the most powerful conversations are had when you would never expect it. Recently, our client and fantastic mastermind member, Dawn Kennedy had a question that I knew would resonate with so many others. She agreed to allow our session to be used as an episode to show the progress that results from coaching conversations.

Dawn has always been a driven individual but needs to do things the “right” way. Despite knowing that there is no right or wrong way to structure or run your business, she sets expectations for herself that aren’t fully in alignment with her business, herself, or her goals. Then when she doesn’t meet the expectations she’s set she feels as if things are off in her business.

As we continue the conversation she reveals that more than setting expectations that don’t fit, she feels like her decisions need to be grounded in a guarantee. She is a financial coach and helps her own clients successfully assess and manage their own financial risk, but realized that she doesn’t do the same for herself.

What is it that’s holding her back then? Is it her need to reach expectations that aren’t in alignment or her need for the safety and security that a firm foundation provides?

Listen as she realizes the true cause of the mindset block that’s been plaguing her throughout this year. She also shares some of the wins that she’s really proud of and how she can make even those feel better.

Your “bad days” are only bad if you allow them to be. If you can train yourself to see the silver lining as you’re walking through a situation, your life and business will be significantly more joy-filled. You’ll be able to see that this hard situation is actually preparing you for greatness.

In this Episode:

[02:08] Dawn shares a mindset question that has been plaguing her in her business.

[03:24] What precedes the lapse in her growth?

[04:48] Where is that balance between having high expectations and understanding dynamic business?

[07:32] Has Dawn had any of those days that were bad but actually pushed her in a positive direction?

[08:15] What does it mean to Dawn to be grounded?

[10:26] Why you should look for the silver lining while you’re in the process.

[13:20] How does the need for a solid ground keep her from reaching her full potential?

[15:52] What is her gut telling her will make a difference in removing the safety switch?

[17:40] If she was in full trust of what she was meant for, would she ever worry?

[20:00] When did her safety switch turn on in the first place?

[21:01] What represents insecurity in her mind?

[25:15] One thing that Dawn has really worked on this year.

[27:16] Was there anyone in particular in her life that was very risk averse?

[29:16] Dawn shares her thoughts on this particular session and the revelations she felt.

It feels rather repetitive but it’s true, when Covid hit we all had to figure out a new plan. For Belinda Furneaux-Harris that meant taking her brick and mortar business and moving it online. To do this, she knew she needed support, so she joined us in our I Heart Coaching program.

Belinda was already extremely successful in her business, but moving online requires a different set of skills, so she dug in. She has now successfully created two courses that will be launching soon and changed the model of her business from in-person to online. She joined me to chat all about what it took to pivot and why she knows it was the right decision for her business.

Prior to starting her business, Belinda had a long history of work in the corporate world. She had no entrepreneurial background, but she knew there had to be a better way. She was burnt out, in adrenal fatigue, and exhausted. Essentially she was over corporate.

She took her knowledge of personal branding and career advancement and began helping others to create personal brands that helped elevate their careers. She is now a branding and marketing coach and still helps the corporate world through consulting and workshops.

Listen in as she shares why I Heart Coaching was the right choice for her when she decided to move her business online and why she credits the program with her online success. She’s digging deep into the behind the scenes of the program and why it worked better than any other program she’s taken.

Belinda’s drive for excellence revealed itself at a very early age and it’s that knowing and clarity that has helped her create a life better than her dreams. What would your dream life look like? Are you ready to make it a reality?

In this Episode:

[01:58] Welcome Belinda to the I Heart My Life Show!

“When you uncover what sits at the heart of your brand, you’re really looking at what sits at the heart of you.” - Belinda Harris

“Get really, really clear about what you want. So when I was 14 years old I made a vow to myself that I was going to live an extraordinary life, not an ordinary life, and I got really clear, even at 14, about the woman I wanted to become. And I made it happen.” - Belinda Harris

I know that Kevin Hart is a somewhat controversial character; you either love him or you hate him. But his books present some unique topics and things to consider as you begin to create your own success and travel your own path in life and business. Listen in as I share the top 12 success tips that I took away from his latest book.

Now I’m not going to go into explicit detail in these notes because you really should listen in to the episode. I shared several direct quotes from his latest book (linked below) and writing them all out here won’t do the lessons justice. However, I wanted to share the very first tip that he discusses.

Kevin is brutally honest about his beginnings in life. He was an accident. A mistake. His mother was not planning to have him and in his early years, she let him know that. She wasn’t a bad mother by any means, but he knew that his presence here on Earth wasn’t planned for.

What did he do with that knowledge? Well, obviously he didn’t let it get to him. He forged his path and created his success despite the fact that he “wasn’t meant to be here.” He never took it to heart that his mother wasn’t planning on his arrival because he knew that there were big plans for his life.

How about you? Have you ever felt called to do something and then backtracked thinking that you weren’t enough? What if you instead decided to lean into that feeling and live out the calling? Where would you be now?

Listen in to hear all about the other top success tips that gleaned from this amazing book, and then pop over and buy it for yourself! This is definitely one of those books that you want to keep on your shelf and revisit year after year!

In this Episode:

[02:26] The three things you should listen for during this episode.

[03:00] I dig into the very first tip Kevin shares in his book.

[05:32] Why it’s never too late for your success or your career.

[06:51] Your friends may love you but they aren’t necessarily the right people to help you succeed.

[11:40] Learn more about the role of acceptance in finding success.

[12:54] Stay ready!

[15:31] What does it mean to trust?

[17:24] Challenges are imperative to longevity of success. Learn why!

[18:56] You have to take control of your life and dreams.

[21:59] Don’t forget to be your own fan and promotional team.

[23:46] Stop trying to take short cuts!

[25:09] How do you handle it when someone tells you no?

[26:29] Are you still hungry for your business and success?

[28:54] Do you have patience? How about persistence?

Quotes:

“While we get to choose the roads we take, we don’t get to know where they lead. Acceptance then is knowing that when your plan fails or when your road dead ends, it means a bigger plan is on the way. I’d rather be a part of a big plan than a small one.” - Kevin Hart

Creating a life you love is not impossible. That is what we at I Heart My Life help women do all day every day. But it takes time, hard work, and support. Three of our amazing Mastermind members recently sat down with me to chat about how the community has changed their lives and businesses and knew that we had to share this with you.

LaDawn Townsend, Emily Summersett, and Charreah Jackson have all been in the I Heart My Life community for some time. Each of them had amazing things to say about our community in particular but really listen in to hear what they share about community in general.

Listen as they each share more about their stories and why they started their businesses. For each of them, starting and growing a business was not only a dream but almost a matter of necessity.

For LaDawn it came after an unexpected layoff. For Emily, she needed to find a new and better way to help her husband. For Charreah, she knew that after kicking cancer, she could no longer follow the whims and strictures of others.

But for them all, having the support and access to a community was imperative to their success and growth.

We had an amazing conversation and LaDawn summed it all up in a very concise and perfect way. We are not born to conform. We are born to stand out, be on our own path, and live our best life. That all starts with having the support needed to forge our own path and then to keep going down it when things get tough!

Setting your business up right from the beginning will save you so much time, money, and headache. There are several tools that you should have even if you’re brand new to business, and definitely if you’re looking to scale. Which is why I’m giving you my top 10 list of resources for building a successful coaching business.

First of all, you spend a lot of time collecting emails and finding leads. You need a reliable place to store them and keep track of customer information which is why you need a client relationship management tool. We use ActiveCampaign and love it. We started off with MailChimp but it just wasn’t enough to keep up with our business.

If you’re planning on having a membership site or to build courses, then you’ll definitely want to look into Kajabi. We are moving away from Kajabi ourselves but not because there is anything wrong with the platform. It’s super easy to use and can be used as a CRM, website builder, funnel builder, shopping cart holder, etc. It’s definitely a good one to look into.

We use several different tools to design the various bits and bobs in our business, but the best one that we’ve found for teams is Canva. It’s an amazing tool that allows team members to work on projects together without losing any work.

Listen in to hear all of the resources I recommend and check the links below if you’d like to check them out yourself. Most of these links are affiliate links, but I wouldn’t recommend them if I didn’t love them.

Which tools are your favorite?

In this Episode:

[01:41] A quick disclaimer about the list of tools I’m giving you.

[02:55] Which CRM should you use?

[04:13] Why Kajabi is an amazing tool for your membership site and courses.

[05:38] You have to have a scheduling tool.

[06:44] Adobe products are great for design, but Canva is amazing for use by teams.

[07:41] Trying to run Facebook Ads? Check out the Successful Ads Club.

[08:52] Need contracts for your biz?

[09:21] Which website platform should you use?

[11:32] How are you communicating with your clients and team members?

[12:42] You must have a project management tool.

[14:34] Why you need to have a Loom account.

Do you find yourself hiding behind not having the time or energy to move your business forward? Perhaps you have children or other responsibilities that always seem to come first. But balance is possible. Christy Lingo is one of our amazing Mastermind members and entrepreneur mom who has built her business with balance in mind.

Christy is no stranger to entrepreneurship. She started her first business several years ago, but as she grew in her skills and in her role as a mom, she realized that she is brilliant at a few key things. One of those things is helping her children to feel motivated, inspired, and encouraged to find their independence.

She has created a course to help parents imbue their children with the skills needed to play and learn independently. None of this would have been possible however unless she was willing to do life and business her way.

Listen as she shares what her schedule looks like, why meditation and a morning routine are imperative to her growth, and how fun it can be to really engage your kids. She has been a source of constant inspiration to me and I’m so excited to have her share her positive attitude and can-do spirit with you.

Never think that you don’t have the time to make your dreams come true. It’s never about the time. Why are you holding back and playing small?

In this Episode:

[02:57] Welcome Christy Lingo to the show.

[03:47] Learn more about the story behind the success.

[06:14] When she left her job did she feel ready or was there any hesitation?

[11:30] How did she find the permission to move forward in her business?

[13:17] I gave Christy a shake-up at IHML Live… learn how!

Quotes:

“Even if it’s 1% true, it’s our job to be looking at that and be the observer and ask ourselves, “What does this actually mean?” and lean into it because that’s where the good stuff is.” - Emily Williams

“I feel so secure and stable in everything that I’ve done. I feel like I’m learning to do things the proper way rather than just doing it and then having to spend a couple months fixing what I’ve done.” - Christy Lingo

Have you gone all in on your life and business or are you simply dabbling? I’m coming at you with some hard truths today, but I think it’s necessary. The majority of people are dabbling and have not fully committed to their businesses. Is that you?

You see, no matter if you’re full-time in your business or are still building it on the side of your full-time job, so many people fail to get out of the “side hustle” mindset. But is that any way to approach the venture that you’re building to support you and your family through the rest of your life?

I’m giving you the tips and strategies you need to start going all in with all areas of your life. First, you need to look at previous successes. What did you do to make that success happen? How were you feeling? What actions did you take? These are important considerations to bear in mind when looking at creating success in all areas of your life.

Next practice goal-setting. How can you reach your goals if you haven’t laid them all out and set deadlines for yourself? Then you need to commit to your goals and be relentless with them. Stop giving yourself an out when you don’t achieve something.

Then, take a look at the areas where you need support and consider hiring a coach. Once you’ve hired the coach, practice doing EVERYTHING at 100%. Start small with making the bed every single day and build up to bigger changes.

Do you admire anyone? Is there anyone that you see as an inspiration? Focus on them and emulate what they’re doing to move their lives forward. Then as you begin to see the shifts happening, observe them and celebrate them.

Going all in should be a celebration of achievement. Never forget to take a look back at where you’ve come from so you can see how far you’ve gone.

In this Episode:

[02:27] Are you treating your business like a hobby?

[04:03] The real truth is that most people are only half in.

[05:55] Would you want to buy from you?

[07:36] Next, look at your life. Are you all in on your life?

[10:57] The first question you need to ask yourself if you know you’re not all in.

[12:58] What happens energetically when you dabble.

[14:18] If you want results you have to give it your full attention.

[15:52] 7-ways you can go all in with your life and business.

[16:19] Remember times that you went all in on something. What were you doing differently?

[18:07] Commit to your goals and be relentless with them.

[20;23] Be real with yourself. Are you going to do this on your own or do you need accountability?

[20:57] Practice doing everything at 100%.

[21:51] Who inspires you in their life or brand?

[23:01] Observe the shifts and celebrate.

[24:19] Get real with yourself. Are you all in?

I have struggled for what seems like my whole life with loving the body that I came in. My sister and mom have always been thinner than me and I like to eat good food, but this has been a year of transformation. I reached out to Lisa Bodenburg to help me recalibrate my health habits and it’s time to share.

Lisa and I met through a mutual friend and I was blown away by her dedication to her health. We’d all gotten together and were having a meal at a restaurant and Lisa was on a cleanse. She spent a good bit of time explaining exactly how she wanted her meal cooked because she was dedicated to staying true to her cleanse.

I had a lightbulb moment right there in the restaurant and I asked her about her commitment to her health. We’ll share more about that moment in the episode, but it was then that I knew I wanted to work with her. I needed that dedication to health in my life.

While James was away on a trip with his friends I started on the path to good health and a stronger me. (I’m happy to say I’m down 10lbs and feel better than ever!)

Listen in to hear all about the first 30 days of my journey, how you can get started, and why your ability to succeed is all in your mind. You can do anything you set your mind to. If you’re ready to make health and fitness a priority in your life, connect with Lisa and tell her that I Heart My Life sent you!

In this Episode:

[02:55] Welcome Lisa Bodenburg to the show to chat about health and fitness.

[03:50] Lisa shares about her background and why she moved into fitness coaching.

[07:41] Why she felt so called to turn to health and fitness when she was in a dark place.

[08:45] How did she find herself in her Los Angeles?

[11:18] … and then she turned back to boxing and sought after the Olympics.

[13:23] Learn how Lisa and I met.

[15:00] Lisa knows how food makes her feel and she’s dedicated to feeling her best.

[18:38] Do most people feel like they don’t have the time and knowledge to be healthier?

[21:18] Why it’s so amazing that they can work together and see each other in person.

[24:07] Learn more about the experience you’ll have in the first few weeks of Lisa’s plan.

[28:57] Lisa shares her perspective on the difference between people who succeed and fail on her plan.

[30:38] Why mindset is so important to fitness.

[33:50] Stop the self-sabotage and self-abuse.

[37:00] Lisa explains why the first 6-weeks are so important.

[39:58] What is the importance of exercise and strength training as you make these lifestyle changes?

[44:21] Your scale is not the end all be all.

[45:23] Best practices to get started on your own health shifts.

[46:38] What is one way that you can create a life better than your dreams?

Quotes:

“The desires of your heart are meant to be followed because that’s exactly who you are. You can truly do anything you put your mind to. So if your mind and your heart is telling you to do something you’re only selling yourself short if you don’t take the opportunity to go after that.” Lisa Bodenburg

“Looking at the positive versus maybe what I’m missing out on or any sort of loss pain that may be there. Obviously we can do that with any area of our life, not just fitness. It’s shifting the focus to what we’re gaining and that opportunity benefit that’s there versus the loss.” - Emily Williams

How would it feel to have someone that you greatly respect and admire call you miserable… in front of a room filled with people? I can tell you from experience that it’s pretty terrible. My coach and mentor, David Neagle, called me one of the most miserable people he had ever met, and I had no idea why.

He did later find me and let me know that he said what he did out of love, but it didn’t change the hurt or anger that I was experiencing. That being said, I knew that I had to figure out WHY he said what he said. I wasn’t miserable… was I?

What I realized was that I had forgotten how to be happy in my life and my business. I was constantly pushing to reach the next goal, the next milestone, the next win, and I wasn’t enjoying the journey anymore. Sound familiar?

After this experience, I decided it was time to dig deeper into my overall health. James and I had brain scans done and while I knew I had anxiety we found some other things that were very interesting to note. Do you know one of the best ways to promote brain health? Exercise and proper nutrition!

So I dug in and started working on the four areas of my life that I knew needed work and that I could make changes in. The first was my anxiety. I started seeing therapists, doing breathwork, visiting with healers of all sorts to dig deep into where my anxiety stemmed from. I haven’t completely wiped out the anxiety but I have made strides to reduce it.

Next was my health and fitness. I’m a bit of an emotional eater and I work from home. I definitely have easy access to the kitchen. I decided to hire an amazing health and fitness coach and I have started feeling better than ever. It’s amazing what you can do when you have support!

Lastly, I knew I had to start building in time for breaks and vacations. Which I’ve done this year. James and I took off an entire week from the business and while it was nerve-wracking, it was much needed.

Listen in to hear all of the details of my realization and the steps I’m taking toward making a change in my life. You deserve support! You deserve to feel happiness! You deserve to have good health. Stay tuned to learn more about the ways in which I have sought support in my life and business.

In this Episode:

[00:17] I’m coming to you real and honest about a time when my coach told me I was one of the most miserable people he’d ever met in his life.

[02:31] Taking it all the way back to January of 2020.

[05:00] Why you shouldn’t put coaching on the backburner.

[06:44] It all happened at a private event called Date With Your Darkside…

[08:49] Listen as I share all of the thoughts and emotions I experienced after he called me miserable.

[10:51] What I ultimately realized after this experience.

[13:01] Learn more about the Amen Clinic.

[15:46] Brain health is very important and this helped me to confront how I’d live a happier life.

[18:16] It revealed four aspects of my life that I really needed to take control of. The first being my anxiety.

[21:08] The next thing I needed to take control of was my health, fitness, and eating.

[24:43] Another thing that I did was to take a full week off of work.

[27:21] If you’re craving transformation, ask yourself these questions.

[29:48] How good are you willing to let your life get?

Quotes:

“The whole point of us moving forward with this business is not the end goal, it’s the process. If I’m constantly chasing that end goal or waiting to feel safe and stable until we get that result or reach that milestone, the journey is going to be miserable.” - Emily Williams

“I want anyone who feels like they’re miserable or they’re unhappy or they’re not achieving the results they want or they’re not at optimal health, to understand that it’s really just a decision away for you.” - Emily Williams

You CAN do everything in your business, but you can’t do everything alone. It’s important that you understand how your business runs, but you don’t have to know how to do it all. Instead, you can and should hire a VA to help take things off your plate that you as the CEO should not be doing.

So first, what is a VA? A VA is a virtual assistant who can help you with everything from administrative tasks, to copywriting, podcast management, and so much more. There are generalist VAs and specialists and who and for what you need to hire is specific to your business, your needs, and the things you don’t enjoy doing.

Why hire a VA? One of the biggest reasons is because if you created a business to coach others, then you should be coaching others, not worrying about invoicing, contracts, etc. When you hire a VA you’re hiring a collaborator, an ear, a person to take some of the work from you so that you reduce your overall stress levels.

Hiring a VA is a multi-step process and you should be prepared for this piece. While skills are amazing, anyone can learn anything. The most important thing you need to worry about is whether or not you’ve found someone that you can trust, talk to, and who meshes with your personality.

Your VA is an integral part of your team. As long as you know exactly what to do to set them up for success, then your business can only grow and thrive. You have a finite amount of time just like everyone else. What are you currently doing that you hate? What do you not know how to do? What could you pass off?

Listen in and learn my best tips for finding, hiring, and onboarding your new business bestie!

In this Episode:

[02:12] Welcome Ashley Kay to the show to share why you need a virtual assistant.

[02:46] Learn more about her background and why she decided to become an entrepreneur.

[05:26] How she found virtual assistance and their role in the business world.

[08:18] What is a virtual assistant and what do they do?

[09:43] Why hire a VA?

[11:26] While you can do everything, you can’t do everything alone.

[12:45] You always have someone to collaborate with.

[13:36] A VA can help reduce your stress!

[15:41] Learn how you can figure out which tasks to pass off to a VA.

[16:52] How can you go about finding the right person?

[19:15] You can teach someone anything, but you can’t teach personality compatibility.

[21:53] Learn Ashley’s top tips for setting your VA and business up for success.

[24:23] Treat your VA as an integral part of your team.

Webinars are dead. Not necessarily true but free live webinars are no longer bringing in the same qualified leads that they used to. Then Covid hit and we realized that several of the other parts of our business needed to shift too. Because we could no longer host our in-person events of which we had several scheduled.

So we shifted and pivoted and hosted our first virtual workshop. The team and I dove right in, without any clue of how this is meant to be done, and just put our all into it… and we managed to sell every single one of our programs and courses. Because we were able to become more intimately familiar with our potential clients and meet them where they are with the right program or course to help them where they’re at.

Which is always our goal. We want to meet each of you where you’re at and help, motivate, and inspire you to reach your dreams (or better than your dreams.)

The first thing to consider when you’re developing your own virtual workshops is what topic you want to cover. This should be super simple because the topic you cover needs to correlate with the thing that you’re selling. If you’re a health coach, don’t do a workshop on business strategy. It leads the mind to confusion.

Once you’ve chosen your topic it’s time to plan. You need to know when the workshop fits into your marketing schedule and your personal schedule, how you’re going to host it, and what the pricing is going to be.

Then it’s time to implement. Want more details on how you can start to implement this strategy? Listen in to this episode and then check out the 6-Figure Virtual Workshop Blueprint Course.

In this Episode:

[03:53] Welcome back and get ready to learn why virtual workshops are important to your business.

[05:28] Why we included the words “6-figure” in our new course.

[07:17] How you can make the most of your time.

[08:10] Learn more about Emily.

[11:47] Why your 6-Figure Workshop will help you stand out online.

[13:18] Emily shares why workshops work.

[15:47] Quotes from people who have attended our workshops.

[18:26] Hear the breakdown of numbers based on our first virtual workshop.

[21:19] They have helped us to provide the right programs to the right people.

[25:05] Learn about the first step to planning your 6-Virtual Workshop Blueprint.

[29:52] Now you’ll have to decide on dates, scheduling, and pricing.

[32:40] How can you prepare your team for success?

[35:17] The best way to fill your workshop.

[39:54] Learn how to execute your workshop.

[42:26] One of the things that we have done to make our virtual retreats amazing.

[43:09] High-performance habits you should observe while prepping for your workshop.

[45:38] How you should start your pitch or the sales process for the thing or things you’re trying to sell.

[47:45] A quick recap of the things to consider when planning your first workshop.

Quotes:

“Maybe like us, once Covid hit, you realized things were not going to be the same in your business. For us, we had three live events planned and realized very quickly that, that probably wasn’t going to happen. So we were going to have to pivot and figure out another way to support our clients in making huge shifts and getting big results.” - Emily Williams

“We have the phrase “6-Figure Virtual Workshop” for a reason. Because we desire for you to make a lot of money from your workshop. Obviously it’s great for you to host a workshop and warm people up and build that community AND we want you to see the revenue.” - Emily Williams

This topic is not meant to scare you off of your dreams of running a 7-Figure business, but it is meant to help you find clarity around your goals. For so many people reaching that million-dollar mark means freedom and success, but while it is amazing, it doesn’t mean you’re done. When you reach the top, you have to keep going.

I’ve been reflecting on this quite a bit lately as our company grows and pivots. What does it really take to run this company? I made it to 7-Figures relatively quickly in the world of business, but to stay there I’ve had to make many personal and business-related shifts.

So the first thing you need to realize is that your role in your company is going to have to adapt. You won’t be the ones in the weeds, you’ll be the one making the hard decisions. You may not be able to spend all of your time focusing on coaching or the services you provide because your role will have changed.

Along with that changing role you also have to stop doing everything. When I started my company, I was everything from the website designer to the customer service rep to the coach to the accounting professional. I did it all and while that gave me a huge amount of appreciation for the work that is required, it doesn’t serve me or the company to continue doing everything. Even some of the things I love doing.

You also have to learn when to step away from decisions and when to make decisions with and without emotions. I love my clients, but when it comes down to it, we have contracts and policies in place for a reason. Not every decision can be made from a place of emotion and you have to recognize when you’re too close to a situation.

There are so many things you have to do to grow and adapt with your business, but one of the most important is your ability to pivot. Your business is not going to grow linearly. What got you here, won’t necessarily get you there and there’s a reason for that. The world changes. Your team changes. Your growth and development changes you. So your business must change too.

As my company grows and changes I learn so much more about myself and my abilities. For instance, I know, without a doubt, that I believe in the message and mission of I Heart My Life. My passion for my company has not changed as it has grown, even as we’ve added team members and my role has changed.

So ask yourself this, do I really want to run a 7-Figure business?

In this Episode:

[00:42] No matter how much you love your business or how successful it is, there are still hard days.

[03:00] When I first started my company, my goal was to hit 6-Figures.

[05:48] Learn the six components you need to become a 7-Figure business owner.

[06:27] Your role in the company is going to have to adapt.

[12:21] Next, as your role changes you have to learn how to stop doing all the things!

[20:28] You have to learn when to input your emotions and when to remove them.

[23:10] Be willing to pivot! This is SO important.

[27:59] Running such a large business does require you to step in and work extra hours.

[32:14] Vulnerability is okay.

Taking the time to make a plan for your business each quarter should not be something that you dread. Instead, see it as a creative process that gives you time back for the things you love doing. Kristen Westcott is the Lead Strategist at I Heart My Life and she is taking over the podcast to share how you can create a focused and profitable plan for your next quarter.

The first step to creating a plan for your business is to understand what is working (or not working) right now. You can’t move forward in a focused way until you understand how things are running right now. You want to do more of what is working and stop doing the things that aren’t, so make sure to track your metrics!

Once you’re sure you know what is working, it’s time to set your three overarching goals for the quarter. You should have a goal you know you can hit, a goal that may be a little more difficult but is still achievable, and then you should have a stretch goal. You always want to make sure you’re pushing yourself toward growth but you also want to set goals that you can achieve during this one quarter.

Now it’s time to break your big goals down into milestones and projects. What will it take for you to reach the goals that you’ve set? What projects do you need to start or finish to be sure that you’re going to reach your goals? Once you know which projects and milestones you want to hit, it’s time to create your 90-day plan.

Don’t forget to consider what support you’ll need to achieve your goals. Do you need to hire contractors or have someone come in to help you with cleaning or childcare. What will it take for you to reach your goals and what support do you need.

If planning is “not your thing,” then you need to listen to this episode. Kristen’s action steps and advice are invaluable to giving you back the time and space needed to keep your business moving forward. Listen in and if you run into any road blocks, reach out to her on Instagram!

In this Episode:

[02:12] Welcome Kristen to the show to share how you can plan out your next quarter.

[02:59] Why people resist planning.

[05:25] What is the first step to creating a proper plan?

[06:41] Where are your leads coming from?

[09:01] The next step is to start setting proper goals.

[13:24] Next you need to set milestones and projects for the next quarter.

[15:24] Don’t set too many goals or milestones for your quarter.

[17:36] Now you need to break down your projects and milestones into a 90-day plan.

[21:30] What kind of support will you need to hit your goals?

[23:10] You need to set your metrics so you can track your progress.

[25:37] The final step is to get all your dates scheduled on your calendar or project management system.

[27:28] Hear a quick recap of the 7-steps you need to take to plan out your next quarter.

[28:45] Now, when this week can you sit down and block out time to make your plan?

Quotes:

“Planning really shouldn’t be this chore that you have to do. It should be something that you look at from a perspective of creativity.” - Kristen Westcott

“You need to know what’s working in your business… so that you can build on that and create a plan and a strategy going forward based on those things that are working.” - Kristen Westcott

I’ve said this many times and I truly believe. If you really wanted the thing that you think you want, then you’d already have it. Think about it. Think about the last huge goal you received. What did you do to achieve that goal? Where was your mindset?

Because you really wanted that goal, so you made it happen. Now you need to walk it back and remember how you felt, what actions you took, and what it was that drove you to completing that goal.

Then you need to sit down with yourself and consider why you haven’t already achieved the goal you’ve set. Do you really want it? I can’t tell you the number of times I have been on calls with clients and they’re struggling with this same question. We dig deeper and they realize, they don’t want the achievement that they thought they did. They don’t want the business that they thought they did.

It may not be that they don’t want it at all, but maybe they don’t want it right now. Once you gain clarity around what it is you really want, you can give yourself permission to keep pursuing it, or to put it on the back burner. Because when you set goals that you can’t reach or aren’t willing to reach, you’re breaking your trust with yourself.

So, do you really want it? If so, you’d have it already!

In this Episode:

[00:46] Our natural tendency is to avoid pain, but don’t think that blame is the way to freedom.

[03:06] If you really wanted it… you’d have it already…

[04:34] No matter if you want to run a marathon or a successful business, get real, do you want it or not?

[07:02] First you need to move into reality around what it is that you REALLY want.

[09:19] If you’re ready to move full speed ahead on your goals, start here!

[10:47] What were you doing when you achieved a big goal in your life?

[12:52] This applies to every goal you have in your life.

[15:54] Your mind is going to hold you back if you’re trying to do something new.

[19:16] Is your current desire meant for right now or is it a future goal?

[22:16] What are you willing to do to reach your goals and grow?

[24:14] Self-awareness is one of the most important traits you can have.

Quotes:

“When we operate with the belief of ‘if I really wanted it, I’d have it already,’ it helps us not only get clarity on how we reach our goals it also helps us release things that are no longer serving us.” - Emily Williams

“I’d much rather see you lower your goals for the time being and be in reality around what it is you truly want and move speed ahead with that than to be wishy-washy and not actually be in reality around what is possible and what you truly want in this moment.” - Emily Williams

After helping her husband heal through a Bipolar II disorder and attempted suicide, Emily Summersett was determined to help others. She realized that her drive and desire to love on others would be better spent helping them learn to love on themselves. She began studying various therapies, found RTT, and has been learning ever since.

RTT is Rapid Transformational Therapy and it combines the most effective principles of Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in order to create long-lasting results and transformation. What does this mean? It means that Emily helps you retrain your brain by working through the blocks it created when you were only a child.

Only 5% of our brainpower is devoted to conscious thought and action. The other 95% is dealing with subconscious stimuli and triggers. When you try to lose weight or change a pattern of behavior, you’re fighting against that 95% to create the new habit. With RTT you go to the source of your block and obliterate it.

Listen as Emily shares why she went into RTT and how it has helped her and so many of her clients to overcome their limiting beliefs. She and her husband are now living the life of their dreams and their goal is to help so many others do the same. While RTT may seem like it is kind of out there, it has been proven to help people overcome everything from body image issues, to self-harm, to alcoholism and substance abuse.

If you’re struggling with a block that is holding you back, reach out to Emily and see where your blocks reside and if RTT can help you overcome them.

Burnout is an epidemic. In this age of extreme connectivity and constantly being “on,” human beings have succumbed to the pernicious effects of chronic stress and burnout. But you don’t have to continue to live in this way. You can incorporate recovery into your daily life and begin to reverse the effects of chronic stress.

How? By being more mindful of your body and what it is telling you. Burnout can cause excess inflammation in the body. It can cause depression and anxiety. It can cause you to lose the joy that you feel whilst living your life and completely change how you view the world and the people around you.

If you’ve felt the effects, then you need to start working on your recovery asap. Because recovery is the key to success. When you take care of YOU, that’s when you realize your true potential. An athlete doesn’t workout indefinitely, pushing harder and harder, hoping that they’ll get better.

No. Athletes prioritize recovery, so much so, that most athletes consider the recovery period as the most important part of their training.

Listen in as James shares how you can start to be more mindful of your body and how you can incorporate recovery into your life each and every day. Stop trying to push yourself harder and faster. Instead, take the time to take care of yourself and see what happens in your life and business.

In this Episode:

[02:35] Welcome James to the show to share why recovery is imperative to finding success.

[04:06] What should you evaluate first when evaluating your recovery needs?

[06:39] Why you need to stop pushing yourself so hard for so long.

[08:25] Stress, unmanaged without recovery, becomes chronic stress and tears down your body.

[10:23] Even if you’re already feeling the symptoms of chronic stress, you can turn it around.

[13:12] Learn some of the ways you can create optimal output.

[15:50] You can make the motivation piece significantly easier.

[18:21] How dopamine affects your body.

[18:42] You should make time to get outside into nature each and every day.

[20:21] Schedule time in your days for meditation.

[21:54] The number one thing that affects your recovery every day is your sleep.

[24:38] Recovery is essential to your success.

Quotes:

“Something very deeply shifted in me and I just in that moment gave up the struggle. That was the first mindset shift I made. I gave up the struggle.” - Nadia Brown

“My mantras were a lot of self-acceptance. I accept myself exactly where I am. What I think and feel is beautiful. I accept the light and the dark side of myself. My darkness is beautiful. My darkness is my teacher. My light is my teacher.” - Nadia Brown

“Being in resistance is an energy drain and it’s a waste of energy. The sooner you move into acceptance the sooner you can neutralize it and use your energy to create more fuel towards your desire.” - Emily Williams

Have you ever felt called to do something in your life? Felt like your purpose has been determined since forever, but you’ve hesitated to take action? Stop! Start giving yourself permission to live the life that you want.

This is coming up because we’re launching the I Heart My Life Signature Course which has been a long time in the making… and it’s based off of my book, I Heart My Life. As we’ve started creating the course I’ve stepped back and thought through all of the things that came together that resulted in me writing my book.

The biggest thing that popped up for me was the permission piece. You see, I always knew I wanted to write a book. I love to write and I actually got my student visa to London to take Master’s classes on writing books. I wrote a book during that time that may or may not ever be published, but what I realized is that I truly wanted to be published.

When the opportunity came up for me to write I Heart My Life I knew that I wanted to write it in a place that I felt inspired. Which brought up so many other things for me. Listen as I share the mindset blocks that I had to work through and why looking back I’m so happy that I did give myself the permission to write my book the way I wanted to write it.

In this Episode:

[00:15] Listen as Emily shares the story behind her desire to write her book.

[02:10] Emily divulges her lifelong desire to write a book and how she got her visa to live in London.

[04:32] Fast-forward to June 2018 and the reality of writing a contracted book set in.

[05:22] Why she felt she needed to live and write in an inspirational place.

[07:11] How she found the will to give herself permission.

[09:24] Looking back Emily is so grateful for writing her book in the way that she did.

[10:36] One morning she was sitting outside and had just started writing when a harpist started playing…

[12:34] When you operate from a place of desire true magic is allowed to happen.

[15:00] Ask yourself, what is going to support you in getting the best results?

[16:18] Emily shares her best advice for figuring out what you truly desire around your endeavors.

[18:12] What is the price for being inspired and what process is best for you?

[20:33] Why it is so important for you to state your intention and desire for your endeavors.

[22:32] When your desire comes up, automatically give yourself permission without judgment.

[24:17] How good are you willing to allow your life to get?

[26:03] Share what inspired you about this episode.

Quotes:

“There was this piece around permission and what our mind likes to do when we decide to take action, go in a different direction, maybe even spend money or do something that could be deemed as selfish. Our mind likes to bring up every excuse in the book not to actually take that action.” - Emily Williams

“Now I know that when I have a desire that means that the potential is there, the option is there, and also the money is there.” - Emily Williams

Are your breakups affecting every area of your life? This was true for Zeina Marrush until she realized that the person she needed to focus on was herself. She is now an intuitive heart-break healer helping passionate women move through and beyond their pain to find closure.

If it weren’t for her own painful experiences in the ways of the heart she never would have found her passion. Zeina truly believes that everything she has been through has brought her to where she is today and she practices gratitude around her past.

The work you do with your mindset, money mindset, and personal growth is integral to your professional and entrepreneurial growth. Even as recently as a few months ago Zeina realized that one of her own money blocks centered around a break up that she thought she’d healed from. Instead, there was a money-related trauma that she hadn’t confronted, which only supports her belief that the work is never done.

Listen in as Zeina shares her journey, her past, and what brought her to where she is today. Take note of her advice to speak up and use the voice you were given. Women have the power to use their voice to affect change. Do you believe that?

In this Episode:

[02:12] Welcome Zeina to the show and hear why she decided to pull the trigger and work with I Heart My Life.

[04:26] When did she learn to follow her heart and make decisions in faith?

[10:13] What has her process been like as she has found clarity in her journey?

[14:12] How heartbreak was a key factor in finding her place business.

[15:10] Why it is so powerful and important that women speak up.

[18:50] You need to value yourself more than the opportunity.

[20:29] What has Zeina had to work through and learn about entrepreneurship?

[22:44] Learn more about the money blocks Zeina has had to uncover and overcome.

[27:22] Investing in your own coaching and your own growth is imperative to success.

[30:10] Did she experience any big breakthroughs at the live event in January?

[34:28] What is one way that you can create a life better than your dreams?

Our Money Mindset Virtual Workshops are truly an experience in transformation. The breakthroughs that we see are amazing and are what make these workshops so impactful. This is why we wanted to share one of the training sessions that we held recently at our second I Heart Money Virtual Workshop.

Identifying your money blocks is the first step in understanding what limiting beliefs are holding you back. Before every workshop, we ask our registrants to complete a bit of homework and one of the questions we ask is all about where they are feeling those blocks.

We then talk a bit about where our money stories come from and why it is so important that we change them. You see our money stories become ingrained in us at very early ages. We see how our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents feel and act toward money and we take that on ourselves. But those stories are not our stories.

This is why we do the work of identifying those money blocks and then transform them through changing our thoughts. This is ongoing work and it’s important to realize that you have to immerse yourself in this work, but once you do, the changes you see will be amazing.

Listen in as I share common money stories and ways you can transform your thoughts. Also, realize that it is important to surround yourself with people who are also realizing what they desire is possible. So, which stories are you looking to transform?

In this Episode:

[01:08] This episode is a clip from our recent I Heart Money Virtual Workshop.

[02:40] Working through your money blocks is imperative work.

[03:16] What is a money story?

[05:20] Most of our thoughts are on repeat day after day.

[06:31] Examples of money stories and money struggles.

[09:00] Why it’s important that you are aware of your thoughts and where your mind goes.

[11:41] Your parent’s money stories are not your money stories.

[12:35] Identify the block but then go deeper and figure out what the block is about.

[14:23] The record for the most nonstop pushups is over 10k in a row. What does that mean for possibility?

[16:51] Surround yourself with people who have or have the same visions and dreams as you.

[18:19] If money wasn’t an object, what decision would you make?

[20:52] Think about one block you know is stopping you from creating the life you desire.

[23:52] This is something that is never done. You have to be an observer of your thoughts and realize that you are not your mind!

[25:50] Learn new ways that you can start to flip the switch on your thoughts.

[28:09] Create your new normal and surround yourself with people doing the things you dream of doing.

[30:10] Why Post-It notes should be helping you realize your desires.

[33:42] How can you saturate your mind with this new way of thinking?

Creating a content strategy that moves your audience through all the phases of awareness is extremely important, but it shouldn’t take up all of your time. Which is why Mallory Majcher, our Head of Marketing at I Heart My Life is taking over the podcast to share her tips for creating an amazing content strategy.

The best way to think about your content strategy is within the boundaries of objectives. Before you ever start working on content you should have clear goals in mind for how you want to move your potential customer through their journey with you.

What does this look like?

Take stock of your key performance indicators, determine which ones are important to you and your brand and where you want to focus. It is often a daunting task to touch every single platform, so focus on the ones that are sure to put you in front of your target audience.

Track your numbers, figure out who your ideal client or target audience is, and then start building out your strategy.

Now, this strategy is objective-based for a reason. Each of the objectives corresponds with one element of the “know, like, and trust” factor that you hear so much about. Not everyone on your list is at the same level of awareness about you or your brand, so you need to create content that speaks to each segment at the right time.

The three objectives are awareness, conversation, and conversion. Listen in as I share exactly what these three objectives mean within the scope of the customer journey and how you can start rotating your content with them in mind. If you love puppies then you’ll definitely want to hear my example of how one message can and should be altered for the three different stages of awareness.

Are you ready to start creating more strategic content rather than filling the world with more “stuff?”

In this Episode:

[02:33] Welcome to the first ever I Heart My Life Show Takeover - with Mallory Majcher.

[04:16] What do you need to do before creating a content strategy?

[06:49] Learn the fundamental details you must have to use an objective strategy.

[08:28] Why vanity metrics really do matter with regard to awareness.

[09:35] The second objective is the conversation and engagement piece.

[11:27] The next objective is conversion or the point in the conversation where your audience trusts you.

[13:26] A quick recap of the three objectives: awareness, conversation, and conversion.

[19:08] Why laying out your content strategy on a rotating objective basis is so important.

What does it take to be a high-performing, super successful athlete? (and why does it matter to business owners?) The best person to ask or to model is Michael Jordan. James and I recently watched The Last Dance, the documentary following the Chicago Bulls’ '97-'98 season.

There were so many amazing moments in this documentary and there are so many similarities between being a high-level athlete and a high-performing business owner. As I was watching the documentary, I literally had a notebook and pen out and was taking notes throughout.

One of the first things that I noticed about Michael’s character and his drive was his ability and desire to do things himself. He took on the pressure, he took on the responsibility, he took on every aspect of the team’s performance and made himself the focus of that energy. Mostly because he knew that he could carry the load.

… but here’s the thing about taking everything on yourself, you can’t do it alone. Even Michael had to rely on his team to win the games which he learned throughout that season.

I share several other key moments throughout this episode, but one of the other keys to Michael’s success was his mindset. He refused to think about failure. He was quoted beautifully as saying, “Why would I think about missing a shot I haven’t even taken yet?”

This is truly a perfect question. So many times as business owners we worry about failure before anything has even happened. Your mindset and your ability to show up will be the things that help you through. True failure doesn’t exist in business. Everything is a process of learning.

Have you seen the documentary? If so, share your takeaways!

In this Episode:

[02:34] Believe it or not, I did not follow Michael Jordan back in the ’90s, but I was fascinated by his ability to build what he built.

[04:05] One of the things that stood out to me was his ability and desire to do things himself.

[07:45] The other thing I noticed about Michael was that he didn’t care if other people didn’t like him, he was there to win.

[09:55] His teammates even said that yeah, sometimes he was a jerk, but he prepared us to be better.

[11:33] Listen as I share a quote from Michael regarding the HOW of success.

[13:34] Despite being super sick from food poisoning, Michael still showed up in the big game against the Utah Jazz.

[16:12] One more take away from that same episode was the concept of watching game tapes and using that preparation in our businesses.

[18:35] Michael Jordan’s superpower was being present. How often are we NOT present?

[21:13] Why would I think about missing a shot I haven’t taken yet? This is such a powerful statement for business owners.

The tidiness of your house reflects the tidiness of your mind. This isn’t a new concept but Rose Lounsbury has experienced this to an amazing degree. After having her triplets, Rose knew she had to make a change in how she organized her home.

Fast-forward to today, she has since helped thousands of others to recognize why they hold onto things and how to start letting them go. When she came to I Heart My Life, she already had a pretty good foot forward on building and growing her business, but the mindset shifts she has seen has opened the door to even greater success.

One of the biggest things that she has moved past in her time as an entrepreneur is recognizing fear for what it is and working through the emotion to better understand her next moves. She used to envision her fear as a ball that she dropped away from her, but now she processes the emotion to understand what her mind, heart, and body are telling her.

It is truly amazing to think that both Rose and I help women achieve very similar things with completely different approaches. The main goal is understanding your true desires and figuring out how to make them your reality.

Listen in as Rose shares her amazing story and why she believes that minimalism is an important step in the direction of freedom. So, what have you been holding onto?

In this Episode:

[00:28] Listen in to learn more about Rose Lounsbury and why simplicity is important.

[03:11] Welcome Rose to the show and learn more about the story behind her success.

[09:57] Did she leap into her business or build it up and then leave her teaching career?

[14:15] What was coming up for Rose as she moved into the online world?

Quotes:

“...but unless you actually do the push ups or eat the salad, you’re not going to get the results that you want. If you can get past the fear, you can take action.” - Rose Lounsbury

“You just have to ask yourself, what are you actually getting from staying stuck or from not putting something in place?” - Emily Williams

“A lot of time it’s better if you invest more in yourself. If you ask people to invest more in you. That really is where great change can happen.” - Rose Lounsbury

The transformative experience that comes with working on your money mindset is truly something to be admired. This is why I wanted to have a few of the ladies who attended our I Heart Money Virtual Workshop on the show to share how they have begun to transform their lives.

While each of their journeys is completely individual, one of the things they all agreed on was that conquering the blocks placed on them by their upbringing was huge. Many of their AHA moments stemmed from realizing that they were blocking their own abundance.

Living in a lack mindset is something that many of us suffer with because we don’t realize we’re doing it. When you learn what a lack mindset truly is and the small shifts that you can make to live in an abundance mindset instead, you’ll see immense change in your life.

Each of these ladies has an amazing story of transformation and success and it all started with their money mindset. Listen in as they share their big AHAs, the wins they’ve seen, and why giving themselves permission to succeed has been huge.

If you’d like to experience changes like these for yourself, sign up for our next I Heart Money Workshop! It starts on June 25th and we hope to see you there! Use the code INSIDER for 75% of the cost of admission!

Quotes:

“I think what people fail to recognize sometimes is that as you’re going to the next level, whether it’s financially or really in any way… you’ve never done that before so it’s like you’re building a new muscle. There will be resistance that comes up. It’s really important that you have that awareness and that you’re consistently devouring this type of work.” - Emily Williams

“It breaks my heart thinking of people not moving forward with their dreams like all of you ladies here today, for fear of what people think. But also one of the other main reasons is this fear of not being able to make money for yourself. It kills me because money is an abundant resource, but most people don’t believe that.” - Emily Williams

Quotes:

“As you’re building that trust muscle back up… that’s where those daily wins come in.” - Susan Brennan

“Stop comparing yourself to other people. They’re on a totally different journey and they have completely different life experiences. They have different skill sets and different things that they’ve studied and different people that they know… it is a complete waste of time to compare.” - Susan Brennan

Planning creates freedom. I know that this sounds completely insane, but I’ve found over the years that this phrase is completely true. When you have a plan you have a basis to work with and then can pivot from there.

That being said, your business plan is one of the most important aspects of your business, especially in trying times. You need to know your numbers, understand how you reached them, and plan on how to keep them going. That is where your business plan comes in.

If you don’t know how you got to your first $2k month, $5k month, $10k month, how can you replicate it? This is why you need to know your numbers.

Once you know where your sales are coming from and what programs people are investing in, you can start looking at the content you need to create to sell more. Your content should always flow around whatever it is that you’re selling. So your emails, social posts, podcast episodes, whatever your content strategy is, should all end with the same message… buy this one thing.

After you’ve looked at your numbers and determined what kind of content strategy you want to use, it’s time to look at your team. Can you and/or your team make that strategy happen? Do you want to hire more people to get it done? Do you need to pare down to make it doable?

These are the things to consider, because while your strategy may sound great, if you can’t implement it, if it takes more hours in a day than is humanly possible to commit, then you’re not setting yourself up for success.

You need to have a realistic plan that not only looks good on paper, but also feels good with your time, your schedule, and your needs.

If this sounds daunting, then join us for the 2-day I Heart Growth Workshop. We will be going over every step of creating a business plan so that when we’re done, you will have a solid picture of your business for quarters three and four of 2020.

Are you ready to find the freedom that planning provides?

In this Episode:

[00:52] You need a business plan now more than ever before.

[03:43] Why your business plan is more important than at any point in the past.

[05:46] When you know what is working, you can anticipate what will work going forward.

[07:24] How to go about crafting your plan around your business expenses.

[10:06] Your content should flow into what you’re looking to sell and consider repurposing across platforms.

[11:20] Once you’ve built your plan, take a look and see if your team can execute the plan.

[14:49] Then once you have the plan developed and you have the support to make it happen, check in with yourself and see how you feel about it. If you feel good, act.

[17:14] Your business plan is not meant to be a one woman show or process. Involve your team.

[19:21] Planning does truly equal freedom. Take action right now on something from this episode.

Quotes:

“So when we’re thinking about our quarter three goals… we think about the different launches that we have. We know what we’re doing in July… August… September, and everything that we share from social media to email to the I Heart My Life Show, everything will revolve around selling whatever it is that we’re selling that month. It all builds to the sale.” Emily Williams

You are the key to your own growth. How does that statement make you feel? What thoughts come up? Your immediate thoughts and feelings surrounding this statement do not have to be your reality. James Williams is a High Performance Coach and is dedicated to the study of growth mindset.

As you move towards the next level of your business and look at scaling, you will likely experience feelings of fear and excitement. Those two particular emotions are very closely related however and one will push you forward while the other will pull you back.

James dives into the neural pathways that are formed in our brains as we create habits of thought and expression. He then shares how you can reprogram your brain to view the world with less fear and more excitement.

We have so little time on this Earth, but if you want to take back more of it, then you need to start practicing the ability to stay present in the moment. The past has already occurred and you should learn from it, and the future isn’t here yet. Your future is fluid. What matters is the present moment and how you feel right now.

This conversation was deeply insightful and I can honestly say that practicing gratitude and making it a point to be in the here and now has changed my life. Don’t let fear hold you back from your goals, dreams, and desires. Stay present and focus on the wins you experience each day!

In this Episode:

[00:21] Learn what actually happens inside your body as you move to the next level of business.

[02:10] James shares a bit about his background and his role in I Heart My Life.

[05:00] Why James has focused on the inner workings of the body with regard to performance.

[07:23] What is happening in the moment where you know that you’re pulled to do something but the fear is there?

[11:45] Learn what happens when you focus on the benefits.

[13:00] How do you keep moving forward when challenges pop up?

[17:21] Use subjective insertion to flip the switch on negative neural pathways.

[21:33] Why you need to be willing to grow and change.

[25:53] Does gratitude really impact our brains and our performance?

Quotes:

“The feeling of fear is very very similar to the feeling of excitement. It’s that little, down in your solar plexus in the top of your stomach you get that kind of feeling… but depending on how you perceive that, it could be for or it could be excitement.” - James Williams

“When you feel and see exactly what is going to happen. When you commit to stepping into that normal, to stepping into, with courage, a journey that is scary. When you go into that with a very clear feeling of what the benefits are going to be, there is your motivation.” - James Williams

“I think that’s growth mindset is never feeling like there’s an end.” - James Williams

“What’s the point of us doing all of this unless we’re actually enjoying the moment?” - Emily Williams

I’ve said it before and I have no doubt that I’ll say it again, you need to have a good relationship with the sales process to move your business forward. So many of the women that I work with are scared to sell, they’re scared to ask for business, or they’re reticent about the process, too concerned with being “sales-y.”

Here’s the deal, nothing happens in your business until a sale is made. It doesn’t matter if you have put together the most amazing course ever if you don’t sell a single unit, did you impact anyone?

That being said, one of the most important topics that we cover with our clients at I Heart My Life is their relationship with sales. Many of us have stories that we tell ourselves about sales and those stories oftentimes stem from the money stories that we have. Which is why it is so important that you clear about your thoughts and feelings around this business necessity.

Once you’re clear on your mindset regarding sales calls, the next question to ask yourself is, are you asking people to book a call with you? If you never invite people to speak with you, then you’ll never end up having those crucial calls.

You should have a system and process in place for asking for the call and then for actually conducting the call. Then after you’ve spoken with your potential clients, you need a clear follow-up process.

All of these steps are the key to have the confidence to sell. Just remember, it is not your job to sell your potential clients on working with you. You simply need to lead them to a clear yes or no on whether or not you two are a good fit to work together.

So, what does your sales process look like? Do you need to amp it up?

In this Episode:

[00:12] If you are a business owner, your job is to sell! Learn how you can become a more effective salesperson.

[03:35] Why sales are so important to your business and your life.

[05:17] What is your opinion of selling?

[07:07] How fears impact our ability to grow, scale, and sell.

[08:22] We are born with the skill of selling, but many of us forget how good at it we are.

[09:58] So, where are you at with your mindset around selling?

[12:33] Don’t be afraid to ask others to book a call with you.

[14:47] Have a clear system for asking people to book calls and be sure the system works for you, your audience, and your team.

[18:14] Take note of your feelings as you spend time on sales calls.

[20:12] Once you’ve had your call, review what works for you to book calls.

[21:49] Which metrics you need to track and know so that you can do more of what works.

[22:24] Do you have a follow-up process and is it targeted for all types of buyers?

Quotes:

“The truth is, is life does throw us curve balls. There are challenges in businesses that come up every single day. You as the business owner, if that’s who you are, you need to know how to sell and be confident selling. Because when you’ve developed that skillset, you know that nothing can take you down.” - Emily Williams

“The relationship is not just the phone call. Do not lose faith in those people on the call who say, well it’s not a no but it’s a not yet. Because so many people in our company have circled back around. Keep the energy super high vibe in that relationship.” - Emily Williams

… but people aren’t buying…

So you start asking yourself, “What am I doing wrong?”

Cathy is the co-founder of Funnel Gorgeous and the huge suite of courses, funnel templates, and an amazing vault of free resources. She has had an amazing career in design and marketing and is one of the few people who understands the connection between beautiful designs and how to make them convert into sales.

Cathy learned early on that she needed to re-write the stories she kept telling herself. Once she did and once she started leaning into her fears, she found HUGE success.

When you consider the actions you take and the mindset that you show up with, would you identify yourself as a victim? I’m sure many of us wouldn’t, but if you’re showing up with negative energy, you’re likely showing up as a victim.

Here’s the thing. The situations we find ourselves in don’t always go the way we think or plan for. However it’s the way in which we respond to those situations that determines our overall mentality.

I wanted to dive into this a bit because no matter the time that we’re in, we are still responsible for our own mindset and how it affects our reality.

So, here are some things for you to consider as you journal about this topic.

Do you blame others for things when they don’t go your way?
Do you find yourself complaining about everything?
Are you a glass half full or half empty type of gal?

Listen in as I ask several questions to determine if you are sitting in your victim-hood. If you do find that these questions have unexpected answers, then listen to the end. I don’t want you to simply realize that you have been showing up as a victim. I want you to shift your mindset so that you can break the cycle.

I’m the first to tell you that I don’t always show up the way in which I want to, but the first step is recognizing when those tendencies happen.

Are you showing up as a victim? If so, then it’s time to stop!

In this Episode:

[01:06] Why it’s important for you to understand where and why you show up as a victim.

[02:19] How victim-hood impacts our ability to attract money.

[03:31] Learn the first question you need to ask yourself to determine if you’re playing the role of victim.

[04:57] Why you should always take personal responsibility, even for your team members.

[05:44] Victims complain. Does this sound like you?

[09:23] Ways that you can catch yourself and change the direction of your complaints.

[10:21] Is the world a bleak place for you, or is it beautiful and lush with opportunity?

[12:19] Do you believe you have the money for what you desire?

[14:50] Have you ever felt that everyone is out to get you?

[16:32] Is everything happening TO you?

[19:11] If you’re stuck in your story, then you know that you’re showing up as a victim.

[21:33] Hear a quick recap of the ways you can tell if you’re stuck in the victim mentality.

[22:49] Learn how you can shift out of victim-hood.

[26:35] Practice shifting your natural tendencies and you will see a huge change in your life.

Quotes:

“If you’re showing up as a victim you’re also going to think, ‘Well, I can’t change. Things are dependent on outside sources or outside people in order to get better, in order to shift.’ But the reality is you have the power and that’s why you have to take your power back.” - Emily Williams

“Money acting as your coach is saying, ‘You know what Emily, shift out of that mindset. The world is an abundant place. There are plenty of people out there who are making a lot of money every single day and you can too. So let’s get resourceful and think about the ways in which we can bring in this money because we are certainly not a victim in this situation.’ That’s the mindset that you have to adopt.” - Emily Williams

What do you do when corporate breaks up with you? In the case of LaDawn Townsend, she decided to strike out on her own and build a business. Her path wasn’t straight and narrow, but life gave her what she needed to get out of her own way.

LaDawn came from a family of entrepreneurs but found herself entrenched in the corporate world at an early age. She kept pushing and striving and found herself at the top of the ladder when one day it was ripped out from under her.

She had already felt the niggle of discontent with her life and when her boss called her with the news, she actually felt grateful. It was then that she decided to try and work for herself. LaDawn later went back into the corporate world to finance her business, but she knew that she was meant for more.

After finding I Heart My Life and realizing what it means to be in tune with your desires and that it is okay to want more, LaDawn started making some huge shifts. She has always been a leader and she realized that leading others is her calling and her purpose. Her strength and focus is what drives her forward and she was done hiding her power.

LaDawn’s story is so inspiring and so real. If you’ve ever found yourself unhappy and feeling a sense of lack in your current career, it may be time to start listening to your heart. It won’t steer you wrong, but you have to have the strength, courage, and discipline to stop and truly listen to it. So, what do you desire?

In this Episode:

[02:42] LaDawn shares her path to entrepreneurship after corporate broke up with her.

[07:31] Sometimes life makes decisions for us, and that can be a good thing.

[09:12] What was stopping LaDawn from going all-in on her business?

[13:38] Was she clear on the type of business she wanted or just knew what she wanted to make?

[16:11] What it means to “be the Chanel.”

[21:10] You gain clarity with time. Learn why.

[22:31] Why staying in your day job can be the best thing for your business.

[27:21] Women are not meant to be in high gear all the time.

[29:54] LaDawn shares about her first photoshoot in London and how that helped morph her view of her business.

[33:58] It’s important to understand that your desires are valid, but it’s important to stay aligned with where your business is currently at.

[35:39] Why you need to balance your short-term and long-term goals.

[37:39] The London experience has inspired LaDawn to continue to reach for more.

[41:23] If you just listen to your heart, it will lead you down the right path.

[43:57] When you are a leader a lot of times that means you’re alone, but you don’t have to stay alone.

[45:42] What are LaDawn’s top lessons for embarking on the journey of entrepreneurship?

[50:22] LaDawn shares what’s coming up next for her and her company.

Quotes:

“Leadership is not a position, it’s a purpose.” - LaDawn Townsend

“Why am I so afraid to fully show up? It was because no one else I knew was doing what I was doing so I immediately thought that it was wrong or that it wasn’t going to be attractive, but true leaders will lead out a vision that no one else is doing.” - LaDawn Townsend

“A lot of people think that it’s going to be handed to them or they should already know it. They don’t realize that it’s a process and you have to gain clarity with time.” - Emily Williams

“For us as women, yes of course action and hard work is important, but also feeling joy and being lit up. Being in experiences and surroundings that bring you so much and fill you up. I think that’s so important as well.” - Emily Williams

When your life has been full of international events, conflict, and stories about war and devastation, how do you stop and settle into a life of motherhood? Lucy Griffiths was an international field journalist covering everything from the war in Iraq and conflict in Sudan to the life and style of the stars.

After she had her son she realized that living life constantly on the go was no longer an option, but she wasn’t ready to stop working completely. She obtained her Master’s while helping to start up a television station in Iraq and then moved into the world of coaching.

She’d always been interested in coaching and was adamant about investing in her own personal and professional development, and her co-workers needed her help… but her path wasn’t easy.

Listen in as she shares her story of adventure and intrigue and how that led her to build courses sharing her expertise.

You see, Lucy started her coaching business by helping moms work through their new reality of motherhood and all that it means to be a caretaker. After working with several moms she realized that she didn’t feel fulfilled or aligned with that niche, so she pivoted into video editing and production.

She then realized that people kept asking her questions about creating better video and being comfortable on camera, so she started to build courses. That arm of her business now allows her the freedom to work around her son’s schedule.

Lucy’s story is truly amazing and it highlights the fact that your business is not meant to be perfect right out of the gate. You have to be prepared to make changes when necessary so that you continue to grow both personally and professionally. Never be afraid to take action and if you feel out of alignment, explore that feeling and find out what you can do differently.

Quotes:

“I know that sometimes people are hesitant to try something new or just to test certain things or certain avenues that they may feel called to go down. I think we have to give ourselves more permission to get our feet wet and to really expect some trial and error when it comes to a new business.”

Emily Williams

“You almost fight against the thing that you are meant to do and really look into what your previous skill set is. Because actually that can give you a massive boost forward because you’ve got that knowledge and expertise and you are an expert in that niche.”

I recently had the chance to sit down with a friend of mine, Tobi Fairley, on Instagram TV and talk about… money. Tobi and I believe many of the same things about money and the conversation we had was amazing.

I ask this all the time but what stories are you telling yourself about money? Now take a moment and think about where that story came from. Is this belief something that rings true for you? Or is it something that you’ve been taught by others in your life?

Those questions are the ones I really want you to consider as you think and talk about money. Tobi and I dive deep into this topic because it is truly an important one. If you are looking to build a business to support the life of your dreams, but believe that successful people are evil, you will never become successful.

Tobi was an amazing host for this topic and I know that her audience gained so much from our discussion, but what about you? After you listen, take some time to journal about these questions to see what comes up for you.

If your money stories are holding you back, then you’ll definitely want to check out the I Heart Money Virtual Workshop, May 14th and 15th. We are giving our listeners a special rate by using the promo code: INSIDER.

So, will we see you there?

In this Episode:

[00:10] It’s time to get real about money mindset, money blocks, and generational programming.

[03:06] Are you afraid to talk about money?

[07:12] What are some of the most common money blocks?

[10:35] You don’t have to make money mean anything about you. Having it doesn’t make you bad.

[17:46] Remember that not everyone is doing the same work as you, so they may not understand your new mindset.

[25:34] Emily shares her biggest money blocks.

[30:48] The resources I recommend for changing your money mindset.

[35:41] If you’re in a negative thought pattern about money, are you selling to yourself first?

[41:23] You can stay in your 9 to 5 while building your business. Let it fund your business.

[44:40] Practicing living as if you’re already where you want to go. Don’t be scared to plan.

Quotes:

“I would just say take action because that is like the biggest thing, but I think that you have to have self-awareness first. You have to really have an idea of where to take action and what kind of blocks might get in your way and then take action. That’s the biggest thing. Just show up and do it.”

Do you ever feel like you’re traveling the road of entrepreneurship on your own? Your friends don’t understand. Your family supports you but they don’t “get” the drive and passion you have that continues to push you every day.

This is why it is so important to join a community of like-minded individuals who understand your struggles and achievements. You are not meant to do this alone!

Community has become a huge part of the I Heart My Life movement and it has been so impactful in my own life and development.

I still remember the first time I ever joined a community of entrepreneurs and the massive shifts that they helped me make in my business. I joined Marie Forleo’s B-School and though the community was huge, it was exactly what I needed.

Every day I got to interact with others who were in the exact same place that I was in my business.

That first taste of community pushed me to join a smaller community where I created even deeper friendships and business connections. You see, joining group programs and masterminds help drive your business forward because you have a sounding board.

People who are willing and able to listen as you share your vision for your business and the offers you’re creating and then give you feedback. Those same people likely have an audience that could benefit from your knowledge and expertise. This, of course, leads to joint-venture opportunities.

But it’s not all about making business connections. When you step into a community and find your tribe, so many doors of opportunity open for you, personally and professionally.

So, what kind of community are you craving right now?

In this Episode:

[02:40] Why Marie Forleo helped me realize that there was a different way to coach than 1:1.

[05:45] I moved forward with B-School and started making huge changes in my business.

[07:15] Being a part of communities of like-minded individuals became an important part of my entrepreneurial growth.

[09:38] What I’ve learned from being in different group programs.

[11:00] My communities also helped with personal things and supported me through big life changes.

[13:17] When you’re a part of group programs it can open doors for you and your clients.

[16:25] Then when you get to meet people in person the opportunities just skyrocket.

[18:37] To sum up, group programs are invaluable.

[21:11] What community are you craving right now?

“Community has become a huge part of the I Heart My Life Movement and it’s also really important to me in my own life and personal development. I learned first-hand how incredible it can be to have people in your corner, cheering you on and also teaching you what you don’t know.”

“I also see my communities feeling the same way that I felt about the personal gains from being a part of communities and group programs and masterminds. They’re feeling supported. They’re feeling like they have people to talk to when their family and friends don’t get it.”

The easiest answer, and the one that Ruth would give you, is to just start. She is an amazing example of what it means to take action and move toward a life and business of your dreams.

Ruth Kudzi is a phenomenal business coach who has made several shifts and pivots in her business, all of which have moved her closer and closer to her dreams. Before signing up for I Heart Coaching, Ruth started her coaching business with an email.

That one email went out to a select few friends and she let them know that she could coach them on ANYTHING. Surprisingly, it worked. She retained her first few clients and realized that she didn’t want to coach people on anything and everything.

After her time in the program, she chose a specific niche, clarified who her ideal clients are, and has continued to see growth month after month.

Listen in as she shares how she became aware of business coaching and entrepreneurship as well as how she found her drive and courage to take action from the outset.

Your network, your drive, and your ability to continue to grow are the biggest strengths that you can bring to any business. Not your ability to create websites or design impeccable funnels.

Just start. Who knows where your desires and actions will take you? For Ruth, the sky is the limit.

In this Episode:

[01:34] Welcome to the show Ruth Kudzi and hear the story behind her success.

[03:21] Who inspired Ruth to take the entrepreneurial path?

[06:03] Was Ruth aware that she wanted to be a coach or was it a brand new concept when she started?

[11:30] Where does Ruth’s motivation and drive come from

[14:04] What were the next steps?

[16:58] Ruth shares what she learned from her time in the I Heart Coaching Program.

[18:07] Hear more about the challenges that she moved through while building her business.

[19:56] How did she bring herself back from her challenges to succeed?

Quotes:

“Your network, like those people who already know and love you, they’re going to talk about you in such a way that nobody else is going to do until you build those relationships. So even if it’s a completely different field to what you’ve normally worked in, your network is so important.” - Ruth Kudzi

“I made all those excuses, but when I took a step back and realized those excuses were my way of being safe and keeping myself safe, I was able to move forward.” - Ruth Kudzi

Are you meant to be a coach? Have you seen the term floating around the interwebs and wondered if that was the route you should take? I’ve put together a list of things that you need to consider before starting a coaching business to be sure that you will be successful.

There is a very important question you need to ask yourself before you ever consider a coaching business. Do you love to teach? Coaches are teaching and guiding others constantly, so you have to have a heart of service.

This doesn’t mean you want to be a teacher, only that you find fulfillment in helping others learn.

If you’ve felt the pull or the call toward teaching, the next question is how will you help your clients? What topics or concepts do you have an expertise in, but that also lights you up when you talk about it? What could you talk about all day long, every single day, and still be excited to wake up and share more about it?

Because you can’t coach in every aspect of business or life. You can’t be an expert in everything. Even business coaches will typically choose one aspect of business to specialize in because they want to be as effective as possible in helping their clients.

Next, have you dug into your own mindset issues? Most coaching work deals with helping your clients identify their mindset blocks and work toward tackling them. If you haven’t identified your own mindset issues, how can you help your clients?

You do yourself and your clients a disservice when you aren’t willing to work through your own mindset issues.

Those mindset blocks that you start to uncover may actually affect this next bit of advice. How do you feel about marketing? Strategy? Sales? What comes up for you when you see those words?

I ask this because a business cannot exist without these things, but many times women are not willing to sell their services. Coaches especially tend to discount their services and become reticent when they are told to raise their rates.

You aren’t running a charity, so you have to be willing to market yourself and ask for the sale.

Lastly, you have to be willing to be visible. Visibility is the key to finding your clients and one of the things you’ll need to coach those clients on. So you’ll need to be willing to get visible on behalf of your clients.

So, do you have what it takes?

In this Episode:

[00:30] What does it take to be a masterful coach? Listen in and learn if you have IT.

[02:23] Why I turned to psychology rather than teaching.

[04:52] How my quarter-life crisis shaped my future.

[05:50] Do you have a desire to help people? Is it a calling?

[09:21] You have a calling… what is your expertise? How will you help?

[13:36] Be willing to do your own deep mindset work.

[18:15] How do you feel about marketing, strategy, and sales?

[22:51] If you’re willing to get visible on behalf of your clients, then you have what it takes.

Quotes:

“Regardless, I want you to think about what your expertise actually is and what it is you want to share with the world. By the way, even though you have an expertise in it… that doesn’t mean you build a business around it.”

“You have to be willing to do your own deep mindset work. Not just so that you can support your clients, but so your business actually moves forward. Because right now there’s a lot of stuff that’s probably holding you back if you haven’t done this week.”

What do you do when you finally reach the point of attaining your life’s goal and realize you no longer want it? You shift. You pivot. You find that thing you were really meant to do. For Anna Powers that meant leaving behind a law career to focus on business coaching and copywriting.

But her journey wasn’t all that cut and dried. After completing law school and landing her first job as an attorney, she knew that law was not for her. She sought out a career coach who recommended becoming a health and wellness coach for others.

Anna invested thousands into her business to learn how to build a website, create email sequences, and perfect funnels, but still hadn’t found the fulfillment, or money, that she was looking for.

It was around that time that she found me and started working through some of my programs. After shifting her mindset and focusing on what success means to her, she found the path that she was destined to follow.

Listen in as we chat about her journey and how her faith and intuition, or “God-nods,” have helped to propel her forward in her business… even when she had no clue what that would mean.

Anna shares so many amazing bits of advice and actionable tips on how you can build your business on the side of your 9 to 5 and the best ways to do it.

Understanding and changing your money story is the first step toward huge success, but that’s just the beginning. I’m sharing my top tips on discovering and transforming your money story AND how to take massive action to reach your goals.

Have you ever heard of that term … “money story?”

It wasn’t something I learned about until after I started my entrepreneurial journey, but it was something that hit very close to home. Your money stories are the negative and false things you tell yourself about money.

Oftentimes these stories are handed down to us through generations of belief. We are conditioned through other’s experiences to view money in a certain way.

But what if I told you that YOU are the only one responsible for your story?

First, you have to understand which money stories you’re telling yourself and with a quick exercise you can easily find these out. I want you to think about someone you know who is really successful. Someone you admire or follow who has reached the top of the ladder in regard to money.

Now, think about your beliefs surrounding debt, income, selling, buying, etc. Would the person you admire have the same thoughts? If you said no, then that particular belief is probably one of your money stories.

To transform your stories you have to write new ones. For each of your top five money stories, rewrite them by reframing them with the complete opposite language.

For example, instead of “I am bad at paying off debt.” write down “I am paying off my investments as we speak.”

Continue this with each of your stories and then wash, rinse and repeat.. Set a time and actually repeat your reframed stories out loud each and every day, multiple times a day. If you notice you’ve started thinking negatively, repeat again.

The last, but most important step, is to take action. When you’re not feeling well or you don’t want to do that little thing, remind yourself of your goals.

You are fighting a battle with your mind because it wants to keep you safe. Taking action on new beliefs is not a “safe” action, but it is the only way to accomplish big goals.

What stories are you telling yourself? How can you reframe them?

In this Episode:

[02:47] No matter the state of the world, use slower times to work on your mindset.

[04:47] Who will benefit from this training?

[05:40] What will you be learning throughout the episode?

[07:38] Why is money mindset so important?

[09:38] Your relationship with money is the key to your success.

[14:01] Dig into what your money goals are and why.

Success found through fear does not equal fulfillment. For Jennifer Jayde, this sentiment marked a pivotal change in her life and her career.

Jennifer, a former mortgage broker turned successful photographer and life and business coach, found herself in her mid-twenties having achieved everything that she believed would bring her happiness. She was married to a supportive husband, thriving in a well-paying career, and owned multiple properties… but something was missing.

One day she received a call that literally turned her life upside down.

Quotes:

“When the student is ready, a teacher appears.” - Jennifer Jayde

“Do I want to get to my deathbed and never know what could have been? What if this is a huge success? And even if it isn’t, I would rather try and risk failing at something than to never know what could have been.” - Jennifer Jayde

“If you allow your soul to lead the way and you say “yes!” even despite the fear that your head is trying to create. The loud obnoxious fear that it creates. If you drop down from your head into your heart and you just say yes and you hang on and you trust that, it’s amazing what unfolds from there.” - Jennifer Jayde

It has always been my goal to create a massive business. I knew I wanted to make a huge impact on the world and to serve as many women as I can. No matter if that holds true for you or if your goals are smaller, there are several things that I wish I had done just a bit sooner.

First, as the saying goes, when you market to everyone you market to no one. This is so true. I started off with myself as my ideal client, but from there I was trying to speak to every woman who wanted to start or build a business.

I learned quickly that you need to be very clear on who you want to help and what your goals are.

From there you need to figure out what you want to be known for. What are you exceptional at? Is there something that you see or understand in a different way than other coaches in your niche?

As an example, I quickly realized that women were coming to me to figure out their business strategy. Then we’d start working together and as I learned more about their story, we’d find that there were deeper issues at play. I started to be recognized as THE money mindset coach.

Once you’ve figured out your ideal client and how you’re going to help them, it’s time to hire. You are not meant to create a business alone. You are also very likely not the best at everything, and there is nothing wrong with that. As you’re building your business, identify the tasks that only you can do and find others to help you with the rest.

So many business owners wait too long to hire, I know I did. Realize that when you get bogged down in tasks that you aren’t equipped to deal with, you’re taking money out of your own pocket.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to provide amazing value and always over-deliver. So many coaches that I know recommend that you give very little for free and hold onto everything for your paid clients. That model doesn’t work for me.

I prefer to provide as much value as possible so that I can support as many people as possible through their journey. The more you give up front, the more likely you are to keep the attention of your potential clients.

Last but certainly not least, create an ascension model for your offers. Meet your clients where they’re at, provide value, and walk with them through the journey. As they progress in their business, they’ll be more likely to buy your higher-end offers and you will have helped them from day one.

What does this look like? For my business, we have several free resources, a low-cost monthly membership that is filled with value, several self-study courses, hands on group coaching, and of course our masterminds. We also have live events, my book, you name it.

The model we use has evolved over time, but it’s important that you have one in place that you can work from. When you have multiple entry points to connect with your ideal client, you’re able to catch them at every stage in their business.

You have a chance to really get to know the people you’re working with and you’ll be able to help them realize true transformation in their business.

In this Episode:

[00:15] Get ready to learn the top 5 lessons Emily has learned from running an online coaching business.

[01:40] Emily had originally intended to be a life coach.

[03:14] You aren’t supposed to market to every single person on the planet. Learn why.

[05:27] Why you need to be known for a specific topic.

[10:25] What have you accomplished that will inspire other women?

[12:45] Lesson number three: Hire! You should not be doing everything in your business.

[16:38] Don’t forget to provide value and over-deliver.

[20:34] Create an ascension model for your offerings and consider the client journey.

It doesn’t matter what adversity you face, with will, drive, passion, and a deep understanding of your goals and passions, you will succeed… no matter what success means to you. There are few who embody this more than Leah Gervais, founder, and owner of Urban 20 Something.

Leah has always had a strong view of her dreams. From an early age, she had a “vision board” in the form of a picture of the New York skyline. She made it! She got into NYU and was working her way to a steady career in law, but something felt off.

Instead of accepting any of her law school entrance offers, she decided to take some time off and travel through Southeast Asia. It was then that she started a small blog chronicling her life and the times. Fast-forward a few years and she realized that she was playing small.

She invested in I Heart Coaching and despite the loss of her father mere weeks before the program began, she went all in. She was present and engaged at every call and she implemented.

The loss of her father spurred her on toward living the life of her dreams because she realized that our lives are short. Wasted time is a waste of your skills, talents, and knowledge for all of those who truly need you.

Listen in as Leah shares the path that she’s walked and why following her intuition and digging into her mindset has unlocked the path to her dreams. She has an inspiring story to tell and you truly won’t want to miss a minute.

In this Episode:

[01:58] Welcome Leah! She shares more about the success behind her story.

[03:47] Why she decided to stop following her law school path.

[05:14] How her decision not to go to law school led to her future.

[08:23] Learn where Urban 20 Something came from.

[10:46] What did the original blog look like and how did it evolve?

[12:44] Leah shares her experience in Southeast Asia and how that helped her build her website and her business.

[15:27] Did Leah dive into her business when she moved back to the states?

[19:33] Leah shares an extremely personal story about her dad and how that situation opened her eyes to the reality of wasting time.

[23:11] How did her business start to grow as a result of her going all-in?

[26:18] Since then Leah’s business has only grown and evolved. Learn more.

[28:18] Listen as Leah shares her biggest transformations.

[32:08] What’s next for Leah?

[34:49] Leah shares the one way you can create a life better than your dreams.

“It is so important and imperative for all of us to always have somebody, whether it’s a coach or a mastermind or just someone to not only bounce ideas off of and get support from but to really be that reflection to us.” - Emily Williams

“To anyone out there who does end up working with Emily, just know that it is in your best interest to listen and take this all in…” - Leah Gervais

“You have to dare to dream bigger. I think that if you don’t have that self-awareness… or understand where you’re holding yourself back, then you won’t know how much you ARE holding yourself back in your own dreams.” - Leah Gervais

I don’t know if you know this, but I have been a big fan of Taylor Swift for a while. When her documentary came out on Netflix, I knew that I’d have to find some alone time to sit down, watch it, and absorb. That opportunity came while James and I were in London for his father’s birthday!

As I was watching the documentary, it struck me that Taylor was being extremely vulnerable. She was sharing some huge personal moments, moments of growth, and reactions to powerful triggers. I was especially impressed by how she came out of the Twitter backlash that came from her run-ins with Kanye.

I’m sitting there, listening to her talk about this huge moment of clarity, and realized that we ALL have hashtags that represent our fears.

So, I created an exercise that I went through with my mastermind members and I want you to participate as well. What is the absolute worst thing that someone could say about you and turn it into a hashtag? It can be personal, business-related, family related… but it needs to represent that one huge fear that keeps you from taking action.

Once you’ve gone through the exercise, I want you to share with me on social media. Let’s create a movement of women who are facing their deepest fears and working to stride right past them.

Not everyone was born to like you and that is perfectly okay! Listen in and walk through this exercise with me. What are your biggest fears and how can you start taking steps to move past them?

In this Episode:

[00:15] What DOES a Taylor Swift hashtag have to do with success?

[01:48] Emily has always been inspired by Taylor’s story and shares what stood out about her documentary.

[03:50] Learn all the various aspects of Taylor’s story that Emily resonates with and why.

[06:18] Back to the hashtag story and what it meant to Taylor.

[08:14] We all have hashtags that represent our biggest fears.

[09:33] Walk through the exercise that Emily created as a result of the hashtag fiasco.

[12:04] Emily shares more about her fears as represented by her hashtag.

[15:56] Not everyone is born to like you.

[16:45] Think about your hashtag. What is the worst thing that someone could say about you?

[19:21] People love vulnerability and reality. Being glamorous is less impactful than being real.

Attention Entrepreneurs:

You’re not in this alone!

Today I’ve brought my brand new (been with us for several months) Director of Operations, Megan Hansell Henderson, on to discuss what it means to accept help in your journey.

Megan went from professional, to stay at home mom, to work at home mom because her fulfillment comes from more than traditional motherhood. FYI: there is nothing wrong with that. Despite the fact that her oldest needs an advanced level of care, she knew that she needed more to bring her a sense of fulfillment.

Fast-forward to the past year. While she has her MBA she decided that she wanted to learn more about the online space. She obtained a certification in online operations and began living her dream. Now she’s decided that dream is centered on supporting her family and the I Heart My Life Movement.

Here’s the thing, you don’t have to choose one over the other. Your success in business does not have to eclipse your success in family life.

Listen in as Megan shares how she has found a balance between entrepreneurship and family and why this model works best for her.

Here’s the thing, we as human beings will find any excuse necessary to avoid the uncomfortable. One of the BIGGEST excuses is that we don’t have the time or resources to solidify our dreams. Megan puts all of those excuses to bed. Listen in to learn why.

If you can’t move beyond the excuse of time or resources… if your mindset refuses to shift… are you sure you’re ready for entrepreneurship? If you are, then this is the conversation you need to hear to move beyond those blocks!

In this Episode:

[00:30] Don’t wait too long to build your team! Learn why you need a head of operations.

[01:48] Learn more about Megan and why she decided to dive into entrepreneurship.

[04:33] Why corporate? Why an MBA?

[06:56] Who opened up Megan’s eyes to see what was possible in the online space?

[08:10] Why did Megan pursue entrepreneurship while staying at home with her kids?

[09:42] No matter what you choose, life has another plan for you.

[12:37] How have certifications and masterminds pushed Megan’s career forward?

[19:32] Why just one business? Why I Heart My Life?

[21:58] Business owners, admit that you need help!

[24:15] Burnout is real… you may not even realize you’re there… but it signals a need for help!

[26:40] Take a look at your finances… how much are you worth?

[27:49] When is someone ready for a director of operations or strategist role?

[30:35] What is one way that you can create a life that is better than your dreams?

Episode 75: Why Operations Matters: What Most Business Owners are Missing with Natalie Gingrich

Quotes:

“Are you actually playing small with yourself? … I love helping business owners see what they can’t because sometimes you’re too close to yourself that you need somebody else to just “tell” you what’s going on.” - Megan Hansell Henderson

‘Your network is your net worth.... It’s so true.” Megan Hansell Henderson

“Money is your coach and so get creative. If you know you want to grow this company, ask yourself are you going to be able to do it by yourself? Or are you leaving money on the table by not hiring in this moment?” - Emily Williams

DURING THIS EPISODE Are you ready for some real truth?

If you're telling yourself that you want a business and you're not taking action on that business, it comes across as a little delusional.

I wanted to record this episode to share my honest feedback on what's actually going on beneath the surface. It really confuses me when I hear people rattle off excuses for why they aren’t working on their businesses. I call BS. When you have a passion for something and when you are meant for something, you find a way to make it happen.

You're telling yourself you want it, and yet beneath the surface, that's not the actual truth. So we're going to break that down today.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * Why sacrifice doesn’t have to be negative * The questions you need to be asking about your actions * Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone, and that's OK * What happens when you stop dabbling and start making decisions * Why you have to be honest about what you really want

Operating from fear doesn't serve you. We're capable of handling what we're experiencing, and all of that challenge makes us stronger. This is getting you ready for the next level.

Challenges are actually setting you up for the next level, and so when they happen, it's actually a sign that you're being prepared for massive growth.

DURING THIS EPISODE In this listener Q&A, I’m sharing some of my most recent challenges, how I was able to move through them, and how I’ve learned to appreciate challenges while they are happening.

I’m going to teach you how to shift your perspective on challenge ASAP.

Challenges are one of my favorite topics, which is crazy for me to even say that out loud because that was never the case. In fact, I used to really shy away from them. I thought that I was doing something wrong.

I remember when I started I Heart My Life, I felt like I was going to have this trajectory that just kept going up and up and up. Then someone finally explained to me that that's not actually how it actually works. I’m going to teach you how challenges will help you grow in this episode.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * Why it’s important to change your perspective on challenge * How challenge sets you up for the next level of success * Where to look for the lessons in your challenges * When to surrender to the lesson * How to stay out of the victim mindset * Why resisting challenge makes it last longer

DURING THIS EPISODE Have you ever had a whisper or felt a calling?

Tara Zirker, Founder of Successful Ads Club, walks us through her incredible journey of giving herself permission to follow that calling and create the life of her dreams.

Honestly, she's one of the most beautiful people inside and out. She's so good at Facebook ads, and she's also an incredible rock star mom of two beautiful girls.

Think about “what problem do you want to solve that has yet to be solved,” and that’s most likely your billion-dollar idea (as taken from Jaclyn Johnson quote) and inspiration from Jessica Simpson.

-Emily Williams

WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com

E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com

DURING THIS EPISODE Okay, I’ll be honest, I never expected to love Jessica Simpson’s book this much. Yes, I’m a HUGE admirer of her work and I fell in love with her back in the day when she opened for a 98 Degrees concert. I was an avid watcher of Newlyweds. I was sad (well, maybe more on the edge of devastated and confused) when she and Nick broke up. And you better believe I was so excited to meet her a few weeks ago at a conference and receive her book at a book signing, but I never expected to literally devour this book.

This book is raw, open, real about what it took for her to create a life and a business she loves. She’s transparent about her body issues and everything she’s done to try to be a certain size (including surgery that almost killed her), and she, although not in a how-to sort of way, delivered so many secrets to success that I couldn’t keep track.

In this episode, I’m sharing 8 of the success lessons that I discovered in Jessica Simpson’s new book, Open Book. (Including one of my favorite lessons that has to do with something that happened when she was a child that I believe changed her money mindset for the better (for the billions!).

I was really looking for the key components of success that helped her not only create this billion-dollar brand, but have a beautiful relationship, a great family, and create the impact that she’s having right now in the world.

I had the pleasure of actually meeting Jessica at a recent conference. She was one of the keynote speakers and was there ahead of the conference to sign her book.

I’ve been a fan of Jessica since I was about 13 years old when I saw her open for 98 degrees in Columbus, Ohio. I’ve been following her journey as a singer, television personality, actress, and now as the owner of a billion-dollar brand. I’ve always admired her honesty and her ability to just be who she is.

This book has blown me away, and I haven’t been able to put it down because it’s so real, raw, and relatable.

My hope is that you do read the book. I wanted to share this with you because I think it’s essential that we look to people who have paved the way and inspired us, and really break down how they did what they did. I’m grateful that Jessica had the willingness, openness, and the confidence to put it out there in the world because it takes a lot of guts to write something like this.

E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com

ABOUT VALERIE DEL GROSSO Valerie Del Grosso isn't your typical stuffy lawyer - she refuses to "over-lawyer" a problem or drag it out to earn fees. Easy to understand (and implement) legal solutions that create value are her signature.

Valerie is also a dedicated entrepreneur and knows personally the heart and soul required to build a business that loves you back. She has been practicing law for twelve years and owns her own practice in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she regularly serves clients ranging from tiny businesses to household names.

Valerie has gone toe-to-toe with “fancy” and super-experienced attorneys (sometimes whole teams) and can be found in court at least weekly seeing how different approaches pan out when the chips are down. That is, Valerie is willing to stand up for her work in court, not just hide behind a desk dishing out theoretical advice.

In her personal life, Valerie is married to a total dreamboat, though you may never meet him and will wonder if he truly exists. They have a cute new baby, too! She has traveled to about 20 countries and recently took up Olympic lifting as a hobby.

DURING THIS EPISODE Valerie Del Grosso is in our mastermind this year. She's an incredible woman who has created two amazing businesses and yet like many times throughout her life, she's found herself feeling unfulfilled.

Today we're talking to Valerie about what happens when we're focused on achievement instead of alignment. This is the real truth about what happens for those of us who are super driven to go to the next level. We forget about our heart and what it is we actually want and what brings us joy in the process.

Valerie talks about the importance of getting comfortable having frank conversations with yourself and looking at the reflection in the mirror. This has allowed her to accept and identify harsh truths, and then move on from them.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * How the need for instant gratification or immediate feedback can cause us to question our work and our path * Where achievement differs from alignment * How Valerie got out of her own way * Why you need to be willing to accept help to reach your goals * How to make the shift from hard work and achievement to ease and joy * You can recalibrate to find that thing that is going to bring you joy along the journey instead of waiting for it until you reach your end goal or retirement.

Your desires are meant for you. They are possible for you. They are part of your DNA, and if your mind tries to tell you otherwise, tell it to “Shut Up.” It doesn't get to be in charge anymore. You are in charge.

DURING THIS EPISODE It's easier than ever before for you to get rich. And this is not a get rich quick scheme. Trust me, that's not what we're here to do.

We are here to uncover what's stopping you from reaching the next level of wealth that you desire. And frankly, most people don't want to have this conversation.

I imagine growing up, you had a number in mind that meant you would be successful. For me, I always wanted to hit that six-figure mark. I wanted to hit six figures before my 30th birthday because I had learned growing up that six figures equals successful. So in my mind, I thought I would have made it if I reached that milestone.

I launched I Heart My Life in September 201 and made a whopping $442 in the first month.

I could not understand what it was going to take to get me from $442 to that six-figure mark that I so badly wanted to hit. So, I decided to get some help and invested in working with an incredible coach.

I don't want you to think that I snapped my fingers and made this happen. I invested in my success. I showed up, I did the work. I worked really, really hard, and diligently.

When I changed my mindset and began to think differently, it opened my eyes to what was possible. I started to put myself into new situations and stretch to get my message out there.

Most of the time, our mind only takes us so far. We set these goals that we think are acceptable. We stay within the box. This episode is about you expanding your horizons and understanding that the sky is the limit when it comes to you and your wealth.

Did you know that there are 47 million millionaires in the world right now? That is more than ever before. You can be one of them.

Are you ready to go deeper with your own money mindset and make more money than ever before? We've opened our signature course as a live program for the first time in two years. Go to IHeartMoneyLive.com to learn more.

DURING THIS EPISODE We're talking about your money mindset.

You’re going to learn how your own personal money story is impacting the way that you think about money, talk about money, and the way money makes you feel.

I never expected to be a money mindset expert, even though my dad claims that “money” was the first word I ever spoke.

This episode is going to be a game-changer for you.

We usually have our money story by the time we're about 10 years old. It's based on what we're told about money, what we see about money, and what we experience when it comes to money. We bring this money mindset into our adult life.

In his book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker writes about how your thoughts lead to your feelings, your feelings lead to your actions, and your actions lead to results.

Everything you want already wants you. When the desire is there, that means you're already ready. That means you're already worthy. So take action and trust in that.

We've worked together for the last year, and she has the most amazing, positive spirit.

Emily has always wanted to do something special with her life. She's always known that she was meant for something big, and it took kind of accidentally falling into the event planning business for her to start her own event planning business and move forward with that dream.

We also spend some time talking about what Emily’s experience has been like working with our mentors at I Heart My Life.

So, I want you to dive into this episode right now. Get ready to be inspired and to know that you can do anything that you desire.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * Why you don’t need to overthink your business name * Start paying attention to your breadcrumbs * Spend your marketing dollars and activities on what aligns with you * You’re not really overwhelmed, you just need to plan better * Why you have to release the guilt when you start a business

DURING THIS EPISODE This episode is really special to me. It's something that I think we need to talk more about because I know that it's a conversation that people often sweep under the rug. They feel uncomfortable talking about it, and they don't actually have the information that they need to make wise decisions when it comes to choosing a coach and moving forward in a program or course that they know will support them.

We all have stuff come up for us that tries to stop us from going to the next level. Being aware of it and moving past it is part of the upleveling process.

I recently made a six-figure investment, so I have some firsthand knowledge about dealing with those fears. In this episode, I'm sharing what comes up for me when I make big decisions like working with a coach and making an investment.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * How you can find the money when you truly desire something * The right questions to be asking yourself * Why most people put on the brakes when they’re about to make a big investment in themselves * How saying “Yes” changes you * How to move past the belief that you’re being selfish * Why you have to stop waiting * The risk you run by not investing in yourself

DURING THIS EPISODE We are sharing some real talk with you to help you understand whether you're holding yourself back from going to that next level.

This episode actually works on two levels. It's perfect for you if you are being subtle about what it is that you're selling.

It also works if you're someone who might be holding yourself back. Maybe you have a hunch that you're not necessarily stepping into your greatness in the way that you know you can and you should.

James is also going to tell us about the conversation he had with David Neagle and how it impacted our audience at I Heart My Life Live.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * How we challenged attendees to be accountable for taking the next step * Why you need to be obvious about the action that you want people to take * What differentiates the person who will make the change * Why just having the conversation can help you take the next step * The questions you need to be asking yourself to get to the next level

You don't need to ask permission from anyone to do what it is that you were put on this earth to do, but you can ask for support.

-James Williams

WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com

E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com

DURING THIS EPISODE Transformation does not stop once you leave the room. That’s why James and I are sharing some of the transformations we witnessed at our first annual I Heart My Life Live.

We want to give you that behind the scenes experience of what actually happened at I Heart My Life Live and hope you take it and apply it to your life business to create your own transformation.

FINDING THE COURAGE TO RELEASE WHAT NO LONGER SERVS YOU Dawn is someone who really inspired us because she got herself into alignment. One of the biggest transformations we talk about is having clarity around what's next for you. Sometimes that means being brave enough to release the things that are no longer working.

Take a look at what's serving you and what's not. Ask yourself what you need to release in order to move towards that thing that you really want to create this year.

When you're in alignment, you are unstoppable.

ASKING FOR SUPPORT INSTEAD OF PERMISSION A very brave woman stood up at the live event and talked about this movement that she's creating to serve women around the world who have experienced postpartum depression. All of us in the room were so impressed by her and felt her heart for doing this work. She also shared that she felt like she needed to ask her husband for permission to have funding to move forward with this dream.

James did an incredible job at supporting her and helping her understand that it's not about asking for permission, it's about asking for support. One of the things that we see in our community and especially in rooms that are full of driven women is this indecision piece. We revert to this little girl's mindset of asking for permission instead of granting ourselves permission and moving full speed ahead with what it is that we want to do.

There's a difference between asking for permission and asking for support.

The important piece is that you give yourself permission to ask for support, but to go full in and believe that you can figure it out.

RAISING YOUR PRICES What would you put into a service, package, or product that cost $250,000? This is something Marla Mattenson encouraged people to think about.

Money is your coach inviting you to go to the next level, inviting you to become that next level version of you. That means you transform your mindset. You get creative. You up your game. Step into your power. Become more confident.

That's one of the most significant transformations that we shared from the stage at I Heart My Life Live. It goes back to really thinking about what it is that you actually desire.

THE REASONS YOU CAN DO SOMETHING Our next transformation is all about seeing the reasons why you can do something, not why you can’t. So, we want to invite you to open up your eyes and look around and see everything that is possible for you.

All of our speakers have a story of transformation, and you do as well. And so it's really important that you start to look at why you can do something. And frankly, if you have the desire to do something, that means your capability is right there alongside it. It's not always going to be easy. And yes, there might be a learning curve, but that doesn't mean that you can't do it.

FEAR AROUND THE PROCESS Most of us have fear around what's to come.

One of the main four fears that we know from a study that was done worldwide is there's this fear that we will be responsible for the actions that we take for our own ruin.

Do you really have a fear of a process, or is it that you don't trust yourself enough to succeed?

The truth is, there is no perfect process. Go in alignment with where you want to go and stop waiting for the path to be laid out in front of you to be perfect. Just Move Forward.

JAMES AND EMILY'S TRANSFORMATIONS James

I think my biggest transformation was reconfirming that you do have your own path. What I do as a coach is very similar to what a lot of people do, but I have my lane. When I'm running in my lane, then I'm my best self, and things work out.

Emily

My biggest transformation was that I'm capable of far more than I give myself credit.

DURING THIS EPISODE This episode is for anyone who wants to be inspired to live life to the fullest and take on the world, recognize that true beauty and happiness can only come from within, and be reminded that all obstacles are opportunities.

Luciana Naldi is a force to be reckoned with, a mama on a mission and the queen of turning obstacles into opportunities. She's the mom of two sets of twins, a fitness buff, and due to an illness that caused her to lose her hair, a brave woman who decided to shave her head. Through that decision, she dropped the emotional weight she'd been carrying for years (without realizing it), inspired people all around the world, got on Dove's radar, took her speaking game to a whole other level and created her own "pretty woman" moment.

Luciana Naldi is a former collegiate athlete, high school educator, and championship-winning basketball coach. She spent the first 10 years of her career teaching nutrition, movement, Olympic weightlifting, and all things health, wellness, and empowerment.

After having her second set of twins, she quit her career to care for her children full time at home. The intensity of the experience led her to re-evaluate her beliefs, life goals, self-care practices, and make radical changes to it all so she could create her vision of healthy and happy. Two years later, she started teaching and coaching women on implementing self-care skills related to nutrition, mindset, and motherhood among other things. At the same time, she began writing and speaking and has been published in the Huffington Post and spoken to various groups on establishing and cultivating a positive mindset, nutrition skills for both adults and kids, and how to use obstacles as opportunities for learning and growth. She most recently was featured in Dove's Real Beauty Campaign for sharing her journey to and through becoming a bald woman as a result of having alopecia.

DURING THIS EPISODE This is an episode that we released early in the podcast. I wanted to share it again because Philip McKernan shares such a powerful message about what is possible for us.

In this episode of the IHML Show, Philip McKernan shows us the success and power that is possible when you dig deep, let go of perceived inadequacies and take action in the most authentic ways. Growing up in Ireland, Philip was told he would never amount to anything. Most of his life, especially his school years, was defined by the challenges he faced with dyslexia. Despite his struggles, Philip knew deep down he was destined for something different. He began to change his mindset, release his victim story, and put one foot in front of the next and move forward.

Philip started his coaching business with $200 in the bank and is now a sought-after international speaker, writer, and filmmaker. He works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world to support them in developing self-worth, finding clarity in their future, and keying into their intuition.

After listening to this episode, you’ll understand how releasing old stories and taking intuitive action, even in the smallest of ways, can help you create a life better than your dreams. (Also note the “Five Happiest Days” exercise that we’ve included in the show notes, which will help you create even more amazing days in your life.)

Philip works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world. When people are seeking clarity about their future or want to move through roadblocks, seen and unseen, they call Philip. As a speaker, he has inspired and challenged the Canadian Olympic Team and The Pentagon, to name a few. With a knack of getting into all sorts of scenarios – he's caddied in golf for the President of Ireland, been chased and nearly killed by a bull elephant in Nigeria, and made wine in Australia. He has traveled to 80 countries around the globe and has worked with orphans in Sri Lanka, Peru, India, and Guatemala, written four books despite being dyslexic, and his first documentary film was released in late 2016.

Philip believes the path to a happy and fulfilling life is found through the meaning we derive in life through the WORK we do, our relationship to OTHERS, and the most important relationship of all, the one with one's SELF.

DURING THIS EPISODE On New Year's Day, James and I decided to try a practice that one of our mentors, Dr. James Rouse, suggested. We got up early and went to Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles to watch the sunrise on the first morning of the new decade.

As we were about to get up and continue our walk after the sunrise, a woman approached us and said, “Happy New Year.” And she added, “2020, perfect vision, huh?”

It took a while for that to sink in, and then we were like, 2020 Perfect Vision. Why didn't we think of that?

Really understanding why vision is so important is a key to the success that you desire to create in 2020. It's your job actually to own it and to cultivate the vision and allow it to come forth.

In this episode, I'm going to give you four questions you need to ask in order to create your perfect 2020 vision.

Four Questions to Help You Create Your Perfect 2020 Vision * What is the perfect vision for me? * Is this in service to the vision? * How do I need to change to achieve the vision? * Who can help me move toward the vision?

DURING THIS EPISODE In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Dr. Kimberly Pendleton. Kim has been a client of ours for the past year, and she is so, so powerful. She is someone who has a beautiful story of getting divorced at age 23 and going on a journey to uncover what it really looks like to experience pleasure in her life and in her relationships.

Kim created The Uncovered Woman, her signature program, to help women on their journey toward living a more sensually alive life that can still be spiritual but also rooted and grounded in having a body and knowing what feels good and what you want in relationships.

I love this conversation with Kim because it's so real and honest about the fact that as women we are not taught to trust ourselves and we're not taught to truly know what it means to be intimate and to experience pleasure in our lives.

If you’re interested in learning more and you feel that there is a lot more for you to uncover in your own life in terms of what brings you joy, then this episode is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Why you should look to your inner voice for guidance
How uncovering your own truth untangles all the ways you show up
That none of us are meant to do our big work alone
Why you need to surround yourself with people that help you see opportunity
How to really get in touch with what you’re experiencing by slowing down one piece of your day

DURING THIS EPISODE Today's episode is my top nine lessons from 2019.

I wanted to share the things that were top of mind for me in support of you really understanding my lessons and getting some value and benefit from me already having gone through this.

Sometimes it feels like we’ve learned what works. We have the lesson and the proof that we’re on the right path. But most of the time, those big “aha moments” happen through the challenges, struggles, things that we didn't necessarily expect, or the things that brought us to our knees.

That's definitely been the case for me this year. I don't want this list to come across as negative, it’s actually quite the opposite. It was really interesting for me to reflect upon this list and recognize how grateful I am for the challenges.

I also encourage you to create your own list of lessons. It can really help us create gratitude for any of the challenges and struggles we may have had from this year, and help us take that learning into next year and beyond, so we achieve even more success.

MY TOP 9 LESSONS FROM 2019 * Hire people for your team that will help you grow and serve more * Ask for help * Plan for more expenses * Wait to write a book * Put yourself out there more * Raise Your Prices * Release clients who aren’t ready * Don’t make any assumptions * Go Inward

When you step into the room, you experience a shift in possibility.

DURING THIS EPISODE I'm referring to the room where live events take place.

As you may know, we are hosting, I Heart My Life live in January 2020 in San Diego, California.

And I know there's a lot of people who are on the fence. I wanted to record this episode to share my own experience with live events and how I was able to move past all my fears and insecurities and ultimately use live events to grow our business and have more impact.

I'm sharing seven ways in which live events will transform your business and help you have that greater exposure, greater reach, and greater impact that I know that you are craving.

And the truth is, is when that desire is there, the opportunity's there, the money's there, the possibility is there. Your job is to just entertain it.

When we get into the room we take more chances and experience opportunities.

I have seven shifts that happen when you put yourself in the room that I'm going to explain to you in this episode.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THE ROOM * Your social circle transforms * You change your mindset * You experience a shift in possibility * You feel less alone * You show the Universe that you’re really ready for more * You open doors and build connections -- leading to more business * You’ll make more money

DURING THIS EPISODE Danielle LaPorte is someone who I admire greatly, who's had a huge impact in my own life and journey. She's someone I now call a friend, a mentor, and just an inspirer in every sense of the word.

Today's episode is really special to me. We go super deep with Danielle's own journey through suffering into joy and how she was able to create her beautiful online business.

“If I'd asked people what they wanted, they would have told me they wanted a faster horse.” - Henry Ford

Danielle follows her intuition to create products that she knows people need. She walks us through the pivot that she took going from a full coaching practice into products and more books and doing things differently on her own terms.

We also dive into Danielle’s approach to inclusive manifesting. She’s encouraging us to consider how our success is actually going to help other people and lift people up with us.

So if you're looking for some inspiration, permission to follow your own heart, and a guide for living life and doing things in a way that feels good, this episode's for you.

BE DARING. BE DIFFERENT. BE FIRST. Danielle was taught early on to “Be Daring. Be Different. Be First.” She learned this lesson in one of her first jobs, working with Anita Roddick.

If you want to be first, you have to be courageous and believe in your own originality. Be willing to bring your unique lens and your authentic story. Don’t inflate your success. Just tell people where you’re at in your journey and be willing to serve.

KNOWING WHEN TO PIVOT Danielle has learned to follow her intuition and recognize the signs when it’s time for a pivot.

We talk about the difference between pivoting from fear versus pivoting to expand. Did you know you can actually feel the difference in your body?

Danielle shared these questions from Eckhart Tolle that she used as a guide when she felt she wanted to shift how she was working with clients:

Are you enthusiastic about it?
Can you enjoy it?
Can you accept it?

She has pivoted her work to the point now that everything she does is sending a message of consciousness.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * How to recognize when you should consider a pivot * The questions you need to be asking when considering a project or pivot * How to learn to trust your intuition * Why you shouldn’t get attached to your formulas and gimmicks * What you need to become a superhero

DURING THIS EPISODE This episode was inspired by a post from one of my clients after I read that she had to ask her husband for permission to go for her dreams. We actually got on a call together and she closed the kitchen door because she didn't want her partner to hear her giving out her credit card to sign up for a program.

And in that moment I felt so sad.

I felt sad that she wasn't supported fully and that she didn't have the confidence that she needed to really move forward towards her goals.

Sometimes, it's just all about you giving yourself that permission in order to move past all the blocks, all the fears, all the insecurities that are holding your dreams hostage.

Today's episode is actually a training that James and I did together a while back, and we wanted to share it on this podcast because we felt like it was such a valuable training. We hosted it together to support all of our listeners in really understanding how they go to that next level.

So if that sounds like something you need, get your notebook ready and dive into this episode.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * The question you need to ask yourself to get clarity about what you really want * The 3 step process for claiming your next level of success * The 6-word phrase to help you shift any doubt * The power of consistently displaying dedication, passion, and belief in your dream * Why it is your job to get yourself in a room with people who get your vision

You can be driven and be grateful at the same time.

-Emily Williams

WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com

E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com

DURING THIS EPISODE I thought I had it all figured out, and then all of a sudden I had nothing figured out.

I was unhappy. I was unsure of my next step. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. So if that's you, I'm going to tell you how I was able to shift that and create a life better than my dreams. I'm also going to answer a question that was submitted by one of our incredible community members.

We’re going to start with my story as it pertains to this topic. I think it's really important that you hear firsthand what I went through because I know oftentimes, especially on social media, we see everyone's highlight reel.

We think that their business was backed by a wealthy husband or a wealthy father. We think that nothing has ever gone wrong for them. We think that they were just born super successful, and that's totally not the case. In terms of my scenario, in my situation, there was a point where I was super low.

Frankly, I stayed in that place for far too long.

If you find yourself in that place today, whether it's a quarter-life crisis or a midlife crisis, it doesn't matter. I hope that this message really resonates with you and gives you some tangible tools and tips to really shift out of that place.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * You actually have the power to think differently * How Oprah inspired by gratitude practice * Why the shift in perspective opens your eyes to more opportunity * How focusing on what IS working attracts more of the same * That gratitude and desire for more are not mutually exclusive

It’s your duty to take a look at the beliefs that aren't serving you and transform them.

DURING THIS EPISODE I’m teaching you how to identify the four beliefs that are holding you back and we are going to transform your thinking to create more sales, more wealth, and more impact in your life and business.

When I taught this material about a month ago, my clients were blown away. They had no idea that there were certain beliefs holding them back from making sales, making more money, feeling confident, and putting their work out into the world.

In fact, a lot of them thought that they had one block, but actually it turns out they had multiple blocks or a different type of block. This training gave them clarity to make some huge shifts in their life and business that will increase their sales, make them more money, and help them reach more people.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * How to identify the four beliefs that are holding you back * Why believing in yourself is the first thing you have to do * Ways to generate confidence around what you’re selling (If you’re not buying it, nobody else will) * Why you’ve got to believe there are enough people to buy from you * How people will find the money for something they want * How belief in your purpose will move you through challenges

“I have learned the power of being worthy. Every single human being has within them the capability to have everything they could ever have and then, more than they could ever imagine. The only thing that gets in the way is our worthiness.”

Dr. James Rouse

ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. James Rouse is a serial entrepreneur and professional ruckus maker, and all that means is he is up for disrupting everything in the universe that does not adhere to his main way of living, which is love.

Connect with Dr. James at https://www.drjamesrouse.com/

DURING THIS EPISODE Dr. James talks about how most of us are leading with our heads instead of our hearts. Learn to drop into your heart because your heart actually has far more wisdom than you're giving it credit.

WHY SELF-LOVE IS A CHALLENGE FOR SO MANY PEOPLE Self-love is a challenge for so many because we are neurochemically programmed to find our sweet spot, and our sweet, sweet spot is usually fairly mediocre. Being safe is so often more attractive than stepping outside of it.

Removing the filter is scary, but when you give yourself permission to remove the critic and to become unfiltered, you uncensor your heart. An uncensored heart forces us to pay attention to our truth because our truth will haunt us in the most beautiful way.

THE SECRET OF BRINGING SPIRITUALITY TO OUR NEUROCHEMISTRY When you set a true intention, you're building proteins called neuropeptides.

These proteins are pollinating our brain and allowing us to overcome any historical non-facts and smallness.

When you bring the intention of “I’m doing this to feed my bliss.” to any activity, you populate your brain with an unfair advantage over your former mediocrity.

Those neuropeptides are literally pollinating every blossom that's waiting to happen inside of you. That's how we overcome any learned physiology and the normal neurochemistry at mediocrity.

Spirituality crushes neurochemistry.

THE ART OF BEING WORTHY Dr. James has learned the power of being worthy. Every single human being has within them the capability to have everything they could ever have and then, more than they could ever imagine. The only thing that gets in the way is our worthiness

Willingness is worthiness, our willingness to see how beautiful we are, our willingness to allow ourselves to not look away when we're going through a time, and whether or not we actually can lean into our compassion rather than our judgment.

Get out of your head. Drop into your heart and give yourself permission to be worthy to receive what you all ready have.

“I was never a planner in this way, at least not in business, but it's made me feel so free and so confident about what we're creating next year. And still, it makes me feel like I have the space to be creative should I desire to be.”

Emily Williams

DURING THIS EPISODE I’ve recorded an episode that I never expected to be recording. This episode is all about mapping out your 2020 marketing plan.

Now, I say that I'm surprised that I'm recording this because I'm not normally somebody who likes to have this much of a plan. I am very intuitive. I follow my heart, but what I've seen after being in business for five years is that we really do need to have a plan, and it needs to be one that allows room for creativity and intuition.

This is all about you getting clarity, and however you decide to get there is perfect.

It’s time for you to step into that next level, to be the woman who's running a company. Have a plan in place, not just for yourself, but for your team, for your community, and for your own sanity.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN * Why you have to be clear on the number one thing you are selling * Ways to warm up your audience and build relationships with them * How to plan your calendar and still allow space for creativity and spontaneity * Why you need to measure your activity and know what is converting * How to use your calendar to help you back into bigger projects and manage the more granular tasks

“It's not easy to increase your capacity to receive because it's really uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable in your mind. It’s uncomfortable, uncomfortable in your body. It's uncomfortable in your emotions. And so getting comfortable with all that discomfort is what's going to allow you to see.”

You will always feel afraid, but it's your choice what you do with that fear.

-Emily Williams

WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com

info@iheartmylife.com

DURING THIS EPISODE We're talking about how to move through the fear that stops us from making the money that we desire in our life and our business. I'm giving you four clear steps to move past that fear to let your desire start running the show.

ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEAR We recognize fear as the truth because we haven't taught our minds to think in a different way and we haven't taught ourselves how to move through that fear even when it comes up.

Understand that fear is actually normal, but it's not real.

Whatever we resist actually persists. If you're in resistance to something, that actually means that you have a lot of energy going towards it.

AWARENESS OF YOUR FEAR Ask yourself if this is a real fear. Could it really happen? What would happen if the fear came true?

When you explore your fear and what is causing it, you realize that it doesn’t have power over you.

Do not fear the unknown. Embrace it. Feeling nervous is not a red flag warning you of danger. Nerves mean you are about to do something new.

What would happen if you started to operate from that space and you truly believed that when you felt fear, it was actually a good thing? That's what I want to encourage you to do today.

Have that awareness that the fear is there, but ask yourself what does it mean and is there actually true real danger?

ATTACHMENT Attach yourself to your desire and ask what is on the other side of that fear.

Start attaching to your own desire because you will only begin to move through the fear when you see the benefit of doing so.

What are your reasons to move past the fear?

What if you started to operate from that space and you truly believed that when you felt fear, it was actually a good thing?

When we're judging our desire or we're in fear around it not happening, that's a low vibrational energy. That's not a place where you're going to create wealth.

It's not that the fear doesn't exist in every moment of every day, but when you're so focused on moving through it and moving into the place that you desire to be in, it dissipates. You're no longer living in fear or making decisions from a place of fear.

ACTION What action is it going to take for you to fulfill your desire?

If you don't know what action to take, then look at other people who have achieved what you want to achieve. You will start to see which action steps are in alignment for you and are going to move you forward towards your goal.

Even when I was confused about what in the world I was offering. Even when I almost had a panic attack from filming my first video series. Even when I cried after my first photoshoot. Even when I didn't want to get on video, didn't want to get on audio, hated the sound of my voice. Regardless of what I was experiencing, I moved forward.

I took that action based on desire and that desire was to create wealth, to create impact.

I know what motivates me. Most people are embarrassed about what motivates them. They're in denial. They're in judgment. Those are very low vibrational places. Get honest with yourself about what motivates you.

You are going to learn to transform your reality and take action, even though that fear is there again. Connect to that desire and allow it to motivate you into massive action.

And if you don't know the steps, that's a BS excuse. You can find out the steps. We all have access to Google. We all have access to so many resources at our fingertips, infinite resources. You also have an internal guidance system that's going to give you the steps.

For those of us who are destined for big things, we should always be afraid, and we should have the awareness to know what's going on with the fear.

When you take all of these steps, you will quickly move from that scared place into that wealth creation place. You will be showing up like never before.

Your fear will no longer run the show. Your desire is what will run the show.

“A person really needs to look at the math and their belief system, those two things. And if you get those two things adjusted correctly, you can make a quantum leap in your business in a very short period of time.”

- David Neagle

WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com

info@iheartmylife.com

ABOUT OUR GUEST David Neagle knows how to help you achieve whatever dream your heart desires – no matter where you're starting from.

After his brush with death, David began to study his own potential. In the 12 months following his accident, despite being unable to walk for more than a month, he tripled his income! By December of 2000, David had expanded to become an executive corporate manager, a stock investor, and a business owner!

Over the years, David continually sought new mentors with each new level of success he attained. He began to study every great person in history – but it wasn't until David began studying “The Science of Getting Rich”, by Wallace D. Wattles, that he fully understood the transformation he'd undergone. Wattles' book uncovered the exact change in David's thinking and in his attitude that had gotten the ball rolling; to create his unstoppable success.

Today, David Neagle is the best selling author of The Millions Within and is known as one of the architects of the coaching and personal growth industry itself, having worked alongside other well-known mentors like Bob Proctor, Marianne Morrisey, Tony Robbins and the like for decades.

Connect with David at https://davidneagle.com/

DURING THIS EPISODE David and I talk about how you go about turning your yearly income into your monthly income. We also talk about his journey from making $20,000 a year up to multimillions, just in a short space of time, how he was able to make that happen and how he recommends you do the same in your life in business.

PREPARING THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR QUANTUM LEAP You must be able to answer the following questions to prepare the foundation for your quantum leap:

Where are you going?
Do you believe you can get there?
Where are you in your growth and preparedness to move forward?
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
What do you need to improve in order to get where you want to go?

THE LAW OF POLARITY The law of polarity is, is a tool that allows you to start to conceive the truth about anything that's in your life. It is basically showing you the opposite sides of the same thing.

It lets you know that the opposite of anything you're experiencing also exists at the same time, in the same place. Even if you can’t see it, it’s there.

The reason most people don't see the opportunity is that their mind is trained to see something that they don't want.

SELF AWARENESS The more you understand the truth about yourself, the easier it is to create your dreams.

We're raised to believe what other people think about us, not what we think about us. So in order to do that, you've got to strip away all the beliefs that you carry, that other people told you that you were and told you that the world was, and then find out what is it in your core and why are you here.

When you do that, instantly the world changes right before your eyes and it becomes an amazing journey.

“You know, I believe that we can manifest, and I believe that our thoughts and words create our reality, but I also believe that life sometimes has a different agenda and it's not anything that you could predict, but it's exactly what you need. And I think that's what we've been shown, and we've been shown more and more and more to just be in trust instead of resistant to what's currently happening.”

DURING THIS EPISODE James joins me to share what was happening behind the scenes of our move from London to Los Angeles. We talk about the unexpected turns, how we worked through challenges, and lessons learned.

MOVING TO CALIFORNIA * How the back and forth from the US to the UK was taking its toll * Why we just picked a date because there would never be a “perfect time” * Why the opportunities to participate in more masterminds and conferences influenced our decision * How the move allowed James to get clear on what his lane was and how to better leverage it

LETTING GO OF PREDICTABILITY * Acknowledging that maybe there's another opportunity or another direction or another path to get to the same result * Accepting that although you can manifest and make anything happen, the route to get there isn't something you've always got control over * Realizing that predictability isn’t a requirement for happiness, productivity, and the ability to move forward * Recognizing in a moment of resistance that this is happening “for” you

LOOKING FOR THE LESSON IN THE CHALLENGE * This move helped sharpen our discernment skills to know whether to keep pushing or release something * The lesson for James was that you can design the outcome of the life that you want, but the route there can be testing * My lesson was a lesson in trust * Challenges are the lessons we need to learn and make us who we are

Towards the end of last year, I looked at the calendar and started to freak out!

I realized I still had so much I wanted to do.

If you’re anything like me, you want to do all the things.

And your goals just seem to amplify as the year goes on.

More programs to launch, clients to serve, ways in which you desire to grow, money to make.

The list is endless, right?

But just because you want to do all the things (and right now you may very well be doing all the things) that doesn’t mean you should.

(Psst! This also pertains to team. Just because you can set up a Leadpage doesn’t mean that’s the best use of your time!)

I know you want to hit your next big money milestone, and that you have $250k, $500k or even 7-figures on the brain.

And again, if you’re anything like me when I was where you’re at today, you don’t really have a plan to get there.

(It’s okay!)

You’re taking it day by day, month by month, hoping it works out.

And believe me, I love that you’re hoping. I seriously do. Faith is key as an entrepreneur.

But there’s one important piece of the success puzzle missing from your current reality:

A PLAN!

The truth is, it’s much harder to reach your financial goals without a plan in place of how you’re going to get there.

Do you have a revenue plan?

Do you have a scalable program that will enable you to reach that milestone?

Is your business capable of reaching your financial goals based on the current structure, systems and team?

Do you have the mindset needed and the outside support required to get there?

These are things dreamers and doers like us don’t often think about.

But a plan is going to help you increase your confidence and clarity, and it will feel oh, so good when you get it in place.

And if you don’t have one, this is your chance to change that...

Here on the IHML Show, I’m giving you the chance to get my Create Your 7-Figure Plan webinar. A training I hosted live. We’re breaking it into three easy to digest parts so make sure you tune into the next few episodes.

Here’s what you’re going to learn…

An exclusive sneak peek into the financial breakdowns of my own business so you can see exactly how we hit 7 figures in sales.
How to create a 7-figure revenue plan (it's not as hard as you would think!).
Clarity on what a 7-figure team looks like - who to hire and when (I learned this the hard way but you don't have to).
9 key systems, structures and software that I had in place in my business in order to make millions (plus the one thing I wish I had put in place).
The #1 thing I'd do differently if I had to start over again on the path to millionaire-status.

...and much more!

I want to really support you in getting that plan in place. This training will help you do that and give you key info you need about reaching 7-figures whether that’s now, or in the years to come.

Let’s do this together! I’ve got your back!

About the IHML Show Tune into the I Heart My Life Show with Success Coach Emily Williams to learn how to design a life you love, manifest more success and wealth, move past fear and blocks and create joy in your life and business. Emily and her world-renowned guests will help you create a life that’s better than your dreams and give you tangible action steps to get there — quickly. She’ll cut through the fluff and share what’s worked for her and the world’s most successful people. She believes that success is an inside job — not just about another strategy. The I Heart My Life Show will help you finally heart your life, experience extraordinary success, make more money, live according to your own desires and give you permission to go after what you really want.

But there’s one important piece of the success puzzle missing from your current reality:

A PLAN!

The truth is, it’s much harder to reach your financial goals without a plan in place of how you’re going to get there.

Do you have a revenue plan?

Do you have a scalable program that will enable you to reach that milestone?

Is your business capable of reaching your financial goals based on the current structure, systems and team?

Do you have the mindset needed and the outside support required to get there?

These are things dreamers and doers like us don’t often think about.

But a plan is going to help you increase your confidence and clarity, and it will feel oh, so good when you get it in place.

And if you don’t have one, this is your chance to change that...

Here’s what you’re going to learn…

An exclusive sneak peek into the financial breakdowns of my own business so you can see exactly how we hit 7 figures in sales.
How to create a 7-figure revenue plan (it's not as hard as you would think!).
Clarity on what a 7-figure team looks like - who to hire and when (I learned this the hard way but you don't have to).
9 key systems, structures and software that I had in place in my business in order to make millions (plus the one thing I wish I had put in place).
The #1 thing I'd do differently if I had to start over again on the path to millionaire-status.

...and much more!

I want to really support you in getting that plan in place. This training will help you do that and give you key info you need about reaching 7-figures whether that’s now, or in the years to come.

Let’s do this together! I’ve got your back!

What happens when we feel jealous? What about that comparison hangover?

The other day, I headed down the jealousy rabbit hole.

You know the one...

Her podcast is amazing. Maybe I need to rethink my whole Show. Maybe redo yesterday’s episode, maybe get James onto more episodes. I should probably be more bubbly. Yes, definitely more bubbly. Do I sound enthusiastic enough? Am I even making sense?

How did she do what she’s doing? How did she get a NYT best seller? How do I do that? What if my book sucks? I’m not sure I like the subtitle font. Gosh, Emily please don’t go there again.

But for real — how did she do this? I want to do what she’s done.

Queue the tears. The anxiety.

The sadness over the comparison.

I don’t want to feel like this. I want to be happy for her. And truthfully, I am. I really am. I just want it for myself too.

That moment could have taken me down. Out. Trust me, I’ve had plenty of those, and I know you have too.

But over the years, I’ve learned it’s not worth it to go there. (After all you’re not going to do the things you want to do from that place of self-loathing victimhood. Let’s call it like it is.)

This time, it only lasted 10 minutes. Maybe 15. (After all, it took awhile to check out her blog + Instagram + research her whole life’s story.)

And in today’s episode of the IHML Show, I’m showing you how I avoided a total meltdown. How I was able to feel my feelings, but shift quickly. It’s all about your bounce-back-ability after all. There’s nothing wrong with jealousy. There’s nothing wrong with those emotions. In fact, as you’ll learn in this episode, there’s a way to shift them and use them for good, not evil.

Curious to know who I was jealous of? Not that it really matters, but I want to share that with you because I feel like you need to know this woman.

The woman whose story almost took me down is the incredible Rachel Hollis. Or to use her seriously-so-cute-and-I-need-to-find-a-way-to-be-this-cute phase “my good pal Rach”.

So what did I do when I felt jealous? I legit thanked her. Thanked her for reminding me what’s possible. Thanked her showing up. Because if you’re seeing the fruits of someone’s labor, if you’re reading their book, if you're looking at a blog with 94 pages, they showed up big time.

And that deserves some respect. I’m telling you, serious respect. Reverence. And my goodness, love.

So send it their way.

And then shift it back to you. Back to your dreams. Remember they are human, and they’ve done it so you can too. Thank them for reminding you what you really want or maybe for the very first time, giving you clarity.

What a gift that is!

Check out my most recent podcast episode on this very topic. I cover...

Step by step how I handle jealousy - how to recognize the rabbit hole and stop yourself from going down it (yet still feel the emotions that are coming up for you)
My process for showing gratitude and sending love virtually to that person who evoked the jealousy
And just a real honest conversation about comparison and why it happens
How to use jealousy to give you clarity

And thanks again to Rachel Hollis who’s a force to be reckoned with. You don’t know me, but I’m blessed to feel that I know you.

Sending love from your good pal Em. (I know, I can’t pull it off.)

I admit it; for the past four years, I’ve been saying something I’m not proud of. I’ve been preaching something that I don’t believe in. Six little words that I wish I could take back.

Looking back, I know why I started saying it. In fact, it was one of those phrases that other coaches said to me when I was first starting out. It was a good thing at the time -- it let me know that I could achieve anything I desired when I was a newbie in the online space with tons of dreams and nothing to show for them (yet).

But the truth is, I’m no longer that girl, and now, every time I say this phrase out loud now, it makes me cringe. A little voice screams back “THAT’S SO NOT TRUE”. I see it in my husband’s face when he tells me he’s proud of me. When our company hits a new milestone. When a client emails in with another success story.

That voice is right; it’s so not true.

A few weeks ago, I had my own “a-ha” moment about this statement. Not only did I realize I no longer agreed with it, I knew I had to come clean and share this with you on the IHML Show.

This phrase pertains to your success and you really achieving everything that you desire in your life. So if you're interested in learning more, make sure to listen to this special episode.

During this episode, we’re going to cover…

Why I’m no longer using one phrase in particular in my marketing (and why I recommend you stop too).
How your unique gifts and qualities are key to your success and how to channel them into your work starting today.
Why all you desire stems (in some form or another) from self-love.
An introduction to the Law of Polarity -- what it means and why it’s paramount that you remember it in everything you do (especially if it feels like things aren’t happening...yet).
A common thread I see across the board when it comes to the world's most successful people (and also within myself) and how to generate it in your own life and business.

One of my favorite quotes from this episode is this:

“Most people stop right before it's about to happen. Most people don't set themselves apart from the crowd, and so I really want to invite you to be the difference maker, be that person that stands out and remember you are special and there's some very special characteristics that make you you and make you capable of the success that you desire.” - Emily Williams

ABOUT TONIC SITE SHOP:

In this episode of the IHML Show, we reference Tonic Site Shop. The truth is, Tonic + IHML is a match made in heaven. Here’s the love story...

A few weeks ago, our super custom site was having issues, so I asked Jen at Tonic Site Shop to help. I knew about the ShowIt platform and was going to have her team rebuild our current site on that.

(We’re all about simplicity this year, and wanted a site that our team could easily update and manage versus something only a developer could handle.)

But when the designer was due to get started, I couldn’t let her move forward. The truth was that our site was no longer a reflection of our company.

So I knew we had to change course -- and quickly. So I decided to dive into the ShowIt platform myself for the very first time and see what I could do.

I didn’t want to take the next few months going back and forth with a designer or copywriter...

Plus, I wanted to know how ShowIt actually worked because I’m always looking for new software and tips to share with people like you.

As you can probably imagine since I built a whole site in a week, it was seriously user friendly. Paired with the fact that I bought a gorgeous template through Tonic, it was a match made in heaven. Then we had an incredible designer come in and help me refine, tweak and perfect the vision.

And one of the reasons I’m sharing this with you today is that Tonic has been OH SO GENEROUS and is giving all I Heart My Life clients 15% off of template purchases.

All you have to do is type in “IHEARTMYLIFE” when you go to check out on their site and choose your design.

What I love about them is that they’re a template company for people who don’t think they want a template. HA!

(That’s exactly what I said to Jen -- I wanted something unique and wanted to hire her to do it, she assured me, their templates can be easily customized to fit your brand. Plus they’re hosted on Wordpress so you get all the SEO benefits.)

I knew I had to share this with you today…

Because I’m excited
Because you need to experience ShowIt + Tonic

Can’t wait to see your creation come to life. The truth is, there’s no longer an excuse for bad design.

Let’s get your brand out in the world TODAY.

(Seriously, there are no excuses. We built this in 7 days while running a company.)

I used to get on the phone with potential clients, hear their excuses (I don't have the time, the money etc.) and say "Okay, no problem, bye". I was not only leaving money on the table, I was playing small with my impact in the world too.

Over the past few years, I've learned that it's not only my job, but it's my duty to help women move past their own excuses.

This episode is about taking a stand for transformation on sales calls and going deeper with your potential client. (And of course, increasing your bottom line.)

I don’t know about you, but this year has been all about growth and frankly, it’s been painful growth at times. Whether you know it or not, our entire business has changed. We’re phasing out all of our live programs except our brand new Millionaire Club to focus on helping women like you scale to 7-figures. Personally things are shifting too. We’re moving to the United States next year from London which will be a huge change. The internal structure of our business has also changed, and we’re bringing on more support to serve you. James and I are shifting into our true, desired roles. I’m not kidding you, pretty much everything has changed at once. You know those people who say they blew up their business? Well, that’s not exactly how I’d describe it, but for that past year, I’ve felt like I’ve been simultaneously driving and holding onto a huge ship that’s trying to turn. The one thing I know is that growth is necessary, and that sometimes we’re forced into learning lessons we didn’t necessarily want to learn or didn’t feel we were actually ready for. Ring a bell?

But I believe everything happens for us, and it’s up to us to learn from those lessons and show up differently, more knowledgeable and empowered from one year to the next. (Otherwise, what was the point?!)

For that reason, I wanted to share my biggest lessons from 2018. Lessons that will save you time and money and catapult your success in 2019. Ready? Let’s do this…

Do you feel stuck in your business? Maybe you’re hitting all your goals, but you aren’t feeling fulfilled? Well, today’s interview may help. On this episode of the IHML Show, we’re talking with the incredible Melyssa Griffin. Melyssa is a business and mindset coach with a community of over 200,000 business owners and self-development fans. But Melyssa wasn’t always an entrepreneur, and her journey into the business world had quite an interesting start. After college, Melyssa worked as an English teacher in Japan, but she didn’t feel like it was her purpose. Needing something to look forward to after her long work days, Melyssa began a blog. Her following grew quickly and within six months, she started a graphic design studio, which soon became her full-time business. After running her design studio for a few years, Melyssa began to create and sell online programs. But even after her business hit the 7-figure mark, Melyssa still wasn’t feeling happy or fulfilled.

Do you feel like you are constantly giving in your business, without getting much in return? Are you ready to start asking for what you want, so you can build powerful connections and become a leader in your industry? If so, then today’s episode is for you! In this episode of the IHML Show, we are chatting with Michael Roderick, founder of Small Pond Enterprises, a company that works at the intersection of relationship building and thought leadership. Michael began his career as a high school English teacher, doing theatre as a hobby in his off time. But when he started building connections within his network and asking for what he wanted, his theatre hobby quickly grew into something much bigger. He realized the key to his rapid success was taking a step outside his comfort zone and asking for what he wanted. It was through this practice that Michael realized “asking” was just as important as “giving” within his business and networks. Through practice, Michael found the perfect balance between the two and now teaches individuals that same methodology, so they can build networks of like-minded people and unforgettable brands. During this episode, you’ll learn how to leave the “connection rich and cash-poor” cycle behind and move your business forward with incredible momentum. You’ll be inspired to take action toward your dreams, follow your fear and ask for what you want.

Have you ever felt like you didn’t fit in at school? Were you surrounded by people telling you that you would never amount to anything? If so, you know how devastating that can be, especially when you know you’re meant for something more. But how do you move past those old stories and mindsets holding you back? In this episode of the IHML Show, Philip McKernan shows us the success and power that is possible when you dig deep, let go of perceived inadequacies and take action in the most authentic ways. Growing up in Ireland, Philip was told he would never amount to anything. Most of his life, especially his school years, was defined by the challenges he faced with dyslexia. Despite his struggles, Philip knew deep down he was destined for something different. He began to change his mindset, release his victim story and put one foot in front of the next and move forward. Philip started his coaching business with $200 in the bank and is now a sought-after international speaker, writer and filmmaker. He works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world to support them in developing self-worth, finding clarity in their future and keying into their intuition. After listening to this episode, you’ll understand how releasing old stories and taking intuitive action, even in the smallest of ways, can help you create a life better than your dreams. (Also note the “Five Happiest Days” exercise that we’ve included in the links below, which will help you create even more amazing days in your life.) Philip works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world. When people are seeking clarity about their future or want to move through roadblocks, seen and unseen, they call Philip. As a speaker he has inspired and challenged the Canadian Olympic Team and The Pentagon to name a few. With a knack of getting into all sorts of scenarios – he’s caddied in golf for the President of Ireland, been chased and nearly killed by a bull elephant in Nigeria and made wine in Australia. He has traveled to 80 countries around the globe and has worked with orphans in Sri Lanka, Peru, India and Guatemala, written four books despite being dyslexic and his first documentary film was released in late 2016. Philip believes the path to a happy and fulfilling life is found through the meaning we derive in life through the WORK we do, our relationship to OTHERS and the most important relationship of all, the one with one’s SELF.

This episode is for anyone who wants to be inspired to live life to the fullest and take on the world, recognize that true beauty and happiness can only come from within, and be reminded that all obstacles are opportunities. Luciana Naldi is a force to be reckoned with, a mama on a mission and the queen of turning obstacles into opportunities. She’s the mom of two sets of twins, a fitness buff, and due to an illness that caused her to lose her hair, a brave woman who decided to shave her head. Through that decision, she dropped emotional weight she’d been carrying for years (without realizing it), inspired people all around the world, got on Dove’s radar, took her speaking game to a whole other level and created her own “pretty woman” moment. Luciana Naldi is a former collegiate athlete, high school educator and championship winning basketball coach. She spent the first 10 years of her career teaching nutrition, movement, Olympic weightlifting and all things health, wellness and empowerment. After having her second set of twins, she quit her career to care for her children full time at home. The intensity of the experience led her to re-evaluate her beliefs, life goals, self-care practices and make radical changes to it all so she could create her vision of healthy and happy. Two years later, she started teaching and coaching women on implementing self-care skills related to nutrition, mindset and motherhood among other things. At the same time she began writing and speaking and has been published in the Huffington Post and spoken to various groups on establishing and cultivating a positive mindset, nutrition skills for both adults and kids, and how to use obstacles as opportunities for learning and growth. She most recently was featured in Dove's Real Beauty Campaign for sharing her journey to and through becoming a bald woman as a result of having alopecia.
