Welcome to the Align and Expand Podcast with your host, Loren Runion. In this episode, Loren addresses a common question she receives: "What is the first step to change your thoughts and align them with the life you want to create?" She emphasizes the complexity of thought transformation and the importance of foundational awareness. Loren guides listeners through the initial step, assuming they already acknowledge their thoughts' misalignment with their goals.

The episode focuses on creating awareness about personal goals, exploring the qualities these goals would bring, and the importance of embodying those qualities.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Foundational Awareness: Recognize that your thoughts might not align with your life goals, marking the starting point for change.
  2. Clarity on Goals: Identify your life goals, whether related to relationships, career, or personal growth.
  3. Emotional Resonance: Understand the emotional qualities associated with achieving those goals and why they are essential to you.
  4. Conceptual Self-Awareness: Dive into conceptual awareness, describing and mapping out the qualities you aim to embody.
  5. Symbolic Representation: Use symbols, phrases, or avatars to represent the qualities, aiding in visualization and quick recall during the transformation process.

Loren emphasizes the necessity of going beyond surface-level thought changes, delving into deep conceptual awareness to truly transform your mindset and manifest desired realities.

Stay tuned for the next episode where Loren will delve into the next steps in this transformative process.

Today I am sharing with you a tool that I wish I had known to use years ago! And it is as simple as talking to yourself.

In today's episode, I will be teaching about recent research that I learned (and applied in life) on a self-regulation tool called third-person self-talk and the power it has to help you effortlessly emotionally regulate.

We dive into how it has been helping me and the types of situations it may help you in your life to get you unstuck and more aligned with consciously creating your life.

This type of self-talk is so easy to do and you will learn more about the studies behind why it is effortless, so you can learn if this might be the right tool for you to try the next time you need to get your emotions in check.

This might be the exact thing you need to help you get out of bed to do the workout, push yourself further, rest when you need, or take the action that gets you one step closer to taking charge of your story.

As well as helping you let go of any karmic patterns, such as unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and unconscious reactions that keep you from aligning with what you're trying to manifest in your life.

Joining me today for episode 69 is Daniela Sulek where we have a deep conversation on how you can start to find joy and ease while navigating through any experience in your life by being instead of doing.

Expect to hear an interview that will challenge your current beliefs and possibly open you up to an experience that helps you find more joy and ease even in times your mind perceives as difficult.

What you can expect to hear and more!

  • The difference between our natural state and the mind state
  • How the mind creates filters of illusions
  • The trap of believing that there is something outside of us that we need to achieve or do to find joy
  • Why we cannot relax and find joy in the “mind state”
  • How reality shifts, and every second of reality shifts based on who we are in that moment.

About Daniela Sulek: Daniela helps renowned leaders activate and integrate a permanent state of higher consciousness. By transcending from creating by doing to creating by being, they are no longer bound by the conditioned mind, time, or space. They create the experiences they desire. They also create massive impacts through effortless action from the unconditioned state of their being. About 1% of the world’s population functions primarily at this level of consciousness.

Daniela sees through the illusion of rigid physical reality and ridicule of human conditioning. Her thirst for truth naturally brought her on a journey of experiencing the self beyond the mind, body, and physical reality. She has brought a leading-edge concept of universal energy, energy medicine, quantum physics, metaphysics and higher logic into her daily life creating massive physical, mental, and emotional shifts for herself and her clients.

In today's episode expect to be Briana Borten will be sharing all about how to shift your energetic connections with money so you can start to become a steward to wealth.

You can expect to learn more on:

  • Being in your purpose
  • What does it mean to be a steward of wealth
  • How to use money as a tool to create the world you want to live in
  • How to create a relationship with wealth
  • You are an asset to money just as money is an asset to you

Briana Borten is a spiritual mentor who guides visionary leaders to become spiritually rooted stewards of wealth. She trusts that when we’re connected to our souls, each other, the Divine, and the earth, money in our hands is good for everyone and we start to create solutions.

She sees, understands, and can tap into the web of the universe – the unseen energetic field through which we (our human souls, our bodies, and everything on the earth) are all connected. Humans have lost our awareness of that connection and thus, our place in that web, but it’s ours to reclaim and awaken to our greatest potential."

Today's conversation is intended to encourage you to start to evaluate how connected you are to your body. Be inspired by this personal conversation about how healing from traumatic events is possible and realistically how it looks in life.

Hear the personal story of Lindsay Yoakum, a student and yoga teacher who learned self-expression and healing through movement and yoga.

This conversation isn't about fitness it's about healing from your past and learning how to disconnect from the head and get into the body. It is important to remember that everyone’s experience is different and you need a safe space to process trauma or even learn to connect with your body again.

Here are some of the things Lindsey shares with us today:

  • Her personal story and events that led her to be disconnected from her body such as her history of disordered eating, family systems, and her sexuality
  • The event that led her to realize that her body didn’t feel safe and the trauma responses her body was showing her
  • Her coming out experience and the impact it had on feeling safe in her body and coming to terms with her sexuality
  • Learning to use movement as a tool for healing not punishing
  • Turning off the emotional faucet
  • The importance of having choice
  • The importance of having a place to process things
  • Healing is not a quick process
  • How to incorporate getting into your body with your favorite movement tool
  • Her favorite fight, flight or freeze tools that help her in the moment to ground herself

About Lindsay:

Lindsey’s journey started about 8 years ago when she began recovery from an eating disorder that had consumed her teenage years and left her profoundly disconnected from her physical, emotional, and spiritual body. Movement has helped her learn that she is capable of staying in her body during moments of intensity or discomfort and it has taught her that she and her body are on the same team. Her teaching philosophy is to provide a safe and inclusive space designed to give students the freedom to come as they are, and to provide a safe and open dialogue of taking up space and using the breath and body to move through emotions while staying in the present moment.

Embodied Frameworks (formerly Magnetic Framework) is back! We start on October 2, 2022. Get on the waitlist here, spots are limited. Doors will open to the waitlist on 9/11/22.

I hope you all are loving hearing real-life stories about how much mindset and embodiment work can change your life. I believe, for so many people mindset gets put on the back burner or they think it's the last thing you should do. And in reality, it should be the foundation. My whole entire goal of having both of these episodes (see episode 62 for part one), is to show you how important it is, and the impact it can really have on your life.
Expect to hear three real-life stories from their experience with Embodied Framework. From how they knew a mindset program was the right step to what this group coaching experience was really like. How the accountability and safety of the group were more than they could have hoped for.

Hear from ...
Kim: Kimwas not new to mindset work at all. When she signed up for the program she had been practicing mindset for 6-7s but still found herself in a cyclical pattern where the same recurring limiting beliefs would stop her from the success she knew was destined for. She was able to bust through the limiting beliefs, release the need for 24/7 hustle mode and still have her highest grossing quarter ever in her business.
Meredith:Meredith was able to connect with her innate magnetism by letting go of limiting beliefs holding her back. She experienced the incredible experience of alignment and how easy things flow to you when you put in the work. She was able to shift beliefs about being able to support her family as a creative entrepreneur and hopes to leave her 9-5 by the end of the year.
Marissa:When Marissa signed up for the program she felt like she had all of the tools she needed to move her blog and business forward but lacked the confidence to put them into action. Not only was she able to find joy in a work schedule that worked for her and helped her to let go of the pressure of external shoulds, she was able to land consistent brand work, and gain confidence to show up on social media more.
Every one of these ladies did an amazing job putting in the work to make their life better. To find alignment so that they could live their best life. If I can help you do that to get on the waitlist for Embodied Framework, the work starts on October 2, 2022! I will not hold this again until 2023.

Don't forget if you love this episode, leave an iTunes review and hit subscribe!For today's episode, I am bringing you PROOF that with just 6 weeks your life can look SO different. Big shifts start to happen when you focus on embodiment, your nervous system, and your subconscious mind with a supportive group of like-minded women.

In part one, I will be interviewing 3 Embodied Framework students who recently finished the group program with some really big wins. (Hint, you will hear from the other 3 in the program in part 2).
Erica no longer gets bogged down in the details that do not move the needle forward. Prior to Embodied Framework, she felt like she was wading through quicksand, with a few quick wins here and there but just a sense of floundering. Now she has a sense of self-trust. She has let go of the need to micromanage

Renee learned how to listen to her intuition and trust her gut. She was able to see results and abundance flow in when she learned to tune out the external noise and tune in to her own guidance.

Mary Ellen cultivated confidence. She gained the confidence to show up how SHE wants in her life and business. She also learned the value of what it means to actually put in the work and live life from your future self in order to reach her intentions and goals.

If you have been wondering if mindset, and embodiment work is the missing piece to seeing dramatic shifts in your life tune and hear from 3 real women with goals and dreams just like you.

How well are you carrying your load?

If you are feeling like things are overflowing in the stress department, you will want to join me in this solo episode inspired by this quote of Lou Holtz...

"It’s Not The Load That Breaks You Down, It’s The Way You Carry It"
What do you think of when you read that quote?

It certainly hits home for how my life has been feeling lately so today we are talking about a few things!

First I dive into why I am in the middle of an IG break and what I have learned from doing it (hint...part of it has to do with how well I was NOT carrying my load).

Then I dive deep into why your stress feels different all the time. You know how some days you are on top of the world and other days your fuse is so short it's dangerous for people to be around you?

It is something you should know about called your window of tolerance!

You can expect to learn:

  • Stress vs Stressor
  • Hypoarousal vs Hyperarousal nervous system responses
  • The concept of allostasis, allostatic load and allostatic overload and why knowing this will make your life easier
  • Letting go of shame when you feel dysregulated
  • The window of tolerance and what affects it so you do or do not tolerate stressors from one day to the next
  • Practices to improve resilience (and what resilience means when it comes to stress)
  • What is really keeping stressed out

And you will get to hear about a brand new solo episode series diving into the types of thoughts that keep you stressed and stuck!

So, so , so grateful to be back finally on a solo episode with you! Don't forget I love to hear what you think! Tag me in on IG @loren.runion or send me a DM and let me know.

Have you ever wondered how you are supposed to get the hang of manifesting your dream life when your hormones leave you feeling crazy?

This has been a burning question for me since learning about the power of manifestation. Yet it seemed like something was missing in the discussion.

As women, we are meant to be cyclical beings with hormones that can make us feel like Beyonce or a bag of dog poop all in the same day. Much less "high vibe" and the same frequency as our biggest aspirations.

Learn how to harness the power of your hormones to manifest better in this episode with Giulietta.

Giulietta is a menstrual cycle nutritionist and period coach inspiring women to step into the healthiest and most vibrant version of themselves.

Through hormonal healing, cycle-nourishing nutrition, and coaching she empowers women to realign with their divine feminine power, deepen the connection to self, and live in harmony with their hormones (and bodies) for greater wellbeing.

Giulietta compassionately guides women back to the wisdom of the womb, helping them to discover the magic of cycle syncing, honoring the courageous, sexy, and enlightened goddesses that they are.

You can expect to hear:

  • Hormones 101 how they affect our moods, the menstrual cycle, and menopause
  • Find out which major hormone is like the “Beyonce hormone” and which is the “Netflix Chill” hormone
  • The importance of knowing how these hormones feel and express themselves in each person because is the key to manifesting better.
  • Different archetypes associated with every season
  • How the menstrual cycle is like the best life coach you will ever have
  • Which part of your cycle you are most likely to get in touch with your subconscious mind
  • Handling your inner critic
  • Shadow work
  • Soooooo much more!

In today's episode, I am sharing my top tips for creating a vision board that speaks directly to your subconscious mind.

You don't go after your goals with your logical (thinking/conscious mind). In fact, your logical mind is often considered the goal setter. The subconscious mind however is what's known as the goal-getter.

Creating a vision board that aligns with your subconscious mind is helping you program that "goal-getter" with a clear picture of exactly what you are trying to create in your life and business for the new year.

Tune in to hear the best tips for creating an epic vision board that helps you reach every single goal you set.

  • What is a money comfort zone
  • What is a money mindset
  • What thoughts are keeping you in the same financial cycle
  • What thoughts might be holding you back from making more money

Alignment is different for every single one of us. Despite the differences, we may each feel in alignment one thing is constant, you can’t have an aligned life with unaligned thoughts.

Here is what you can expect to hear in today’s episode:

  • Are you feeling aligned or unaligned
  • How to know if the thoughts you have are creating the life you seek
  • A quick breathwork exercise called the box breath or Sama Vritti

I have a secret. I don't think it's wrong to work for free, and today my friend, fellow entrepreneur, and business coach Jennifer Hulley and I dive into why it's actually okay to work for free.

This is not a popular opinion. Or rather, this is not an opinion that is talked about or shared as much, but I promise it is just as powerful.

You see, creating a business that is authentic to you means you get to decide if working for free is right for you, not someone else and their opinion. Opening up to an abundant mindset deeply trusting that money flows to you always and eliminating fear when it comes to making an informed decision about working for free.

Carefully choosing what you consume for your mindset is important, and strict rules like never work for free, are not expansive, they are restricting and shaming. If this has you curious to hear more, tune in to hear more about how working for free might be the right move for you, and what to think about as you make the decision.

Here's what you can expect to learn:

  • Creating an energetically sustainable business
  • How the definition of a "sustainable business" will vary for each solopreneur

Finding Human Design is like someone handing you a blueprint of who are and how you energetically function the best. For me, when I learned about Human Design I felt like I finally gave myself permission to accept my perceived "flaws". Because what I perceived as a flaw was actually how I am DESIGNED to be.

It is liberating to learn ways for you to run your business that align with who you are on an energetic level. You are unique, you are different. That means that you are not meant to make decisions like someone else, have the same energy as someone else, or even have the same way you achieve success.

Today we are talking to Kehla Guimond, a spiritual mindset coach, and she takes us through a Human Design Body Graph, sharing everything we need to know about the basics of Human Design.

Leave behind societal expectations of the " should be doings", let go of the conditioning that has caused you to move away from your unique design and step into your power.

In today's episode you will learn:

  • 5 Types in HD
  • Signature Theme
  • Authorities and Strategies
  • Not-Self theme
  • Energy Centers
  • How to find what works best for you in HD
  • Strengthening your intuition with HD
  • Stay in your own lane and gain confidence in your decisions
  • The best way for you to make decisions

If you are anything like me then you have probably gone back and forth (at least a little bit) on what your niche should be.

And if you haven't done a 180 in your blog as I have, I think it's safe to say you have at least wondered if you are "niched down enough" or if there is even room for you in the niche your food blog is in.

Today I am talking to Kimberly Cauti from Pretty Delicious Life and we chat about all things niche.

This conversation was so powerful it was hard to reign in all the hot topics we cover regarding niche as a food blogger.

From not letting your ego talk you out of what you truly want to talk about all the way to how to handle feeling not special enough for a story that stands out.

In this episode you will learn:

  • Not being scared to be who you are while identifying your niche and speaking to your audience.
  • How to not talk yourself out of your authentic story
  • How to identify your niche based on your story even if you haven't had a "struggle"
  • What to do if your top traffic recipe doesn't align with the niche you want
  • Be creative
  • Finding a balance between creativity and making smart business decisions
  • Kim's opinion on how far down you should niche and if you need to do it right away and if you can pigeonhole yourself with a super strict niche
  • How your lifestyle can be your niche
  • Your ideas and creativity are unique and deserved to be shared and not losing sight by focusing on numbers
  • Remembering why chose to start blogging in the first place
  • Not to be afraid of being a beginner and making a new niche with a new skill

Welcome to episode 15 of Mind Over Blog Podcast. This week on the podcast Loren has a solo episode diving into jealousy.

Oh hey jealousy, its you....again.

Why does it feel like no one really talks about jealously. You never really hear people admit when they have it (like for real have the kind that makes you feel like a big piece of crap).

I am here to normalize talking about jealousy. I want to show you how to recognize when you are feeling it and how to move you out of the space in a safe and quick way.

In my opinion, if you don't get a grip on jealousy you are at severe risk for self sabotage. Why? Because it puts you into a lack mindset, it makes you fearful you can't have what she has.

Know that these feelings are ok, and the point isn't to avoid having feelings. The point is to feel them, recognize them, and work on releasing them in a healthy manner so you can get back on your game.

In this episode you will learn:

  • Envy vs Jealousy
  • Normalizing jealousy
  • Jealousy to move you forward
  • Steps to reframe jealousy
  • How jealousy can lead to self sabotage
  • Ego vs higher self thinking

I have to tell it like it is. If you are determined to up-level your life, your mindset and your business, learning to be still is crucial for your success.

Meditation teaches us to calm the stormy seas of our thoughts. It allows for that break in the waves so that we can access who we truly are and connect with our higher self. Connecting with the part of us that already has everything that you need to succeed.

But if you don't learn to still the waters aka, slow the thoughts down, your efforts in obtaining success, your dreams and desires will always feel like an uphill battle.

Meditation allows blogpreneurs (blogger+entrepreneur aka YOU) to slow down, be still. To listen, wait or learn what your next step or lesson should be.

Without taking the time to slow down, those dreams and realities and desires you are trying to throw into the universe can't break thru the onslaught of troubled waters aka your constant thoughts.

If you are serious about learning more about who you are, improving your life in tremendous ways along with your health and emotional wellbeing I highly encourage you to listen to this episode on meditation 101.

Once you are finished you can hop on over to the next episode and join me in a progressive relaxation meditation!

If you loved this episode, don't forget to give it a 5 star rating and leave a review so we can continue get the word out about the power of mindset for bloggers.

  • 1:40 Meditation is not something you master, its a practice. Which means you can’t do it wrong.
  • 3:07 What type of space to meditate in
  • 4:35 The point of meditation
  • 6:26 The phases of meditation
  • 8:41 When you meet resistance
  • 10:05 What we find in the stillness
