🌟 What if we can turn our moments of self-doubt into moments of belief?

This week we have another special guest who represents those on the Autism spectrum! Meet Coffee Squirrel (name on stage) and how she has become stronger and an better advocate for herself.

• ✨ Advocacy for the Autism spectrum group
• ✨ How to speak up and ask for support
• ✨ How to create a thriving environment to live in
• ✨ Learning to step into one's personal power and creativity

" Many people struggle with an image of themselves that has limitations, rather than stepping into their own personal power and creativity. If I could go back in time and tell my past self something, I would tell them that even though something is difficult, if you just believe in yourself, you can go for it. Also, with the right mindset and training you will believe in yourself more — anything is possible”

It’s not easy taking those steps forward, and I want you to know I see you — and I see how strong you are for trying each day."

“Today was a victory for me. I baked for the first time since total hip replacement surgery, being able to stand for over an hour while I made blueberry goat cheese cake. I must admit for the first 3 weeks post surgery, my body felt foreign to me. It didn’t move the way I was used to, it didn’t look the way it used to, it didn’t feel the way it used to. This is healing. I was so accustomed to having a body that was lop-sided and that was my normal. I love the new me, and even though I am not anywhere close to where I want to be, I am on the way.” ~ Rags Rajesh Narine

In this episode, you'll learn about Diana's Fuel Life Story and where she takes her inspiration from:

--Reducing and transforming suffering into new opportunities

--Setting our minds free of debilitating thoughts

--Exploring intentions with oneself

“Full moon nights are not only good to seed your intention but also to embody your intention. Full moons create intensity. This means the frequency (how you feel) is pure (free of noise), strong (amplified) and coherent. You are what you intended and what you intended is you. You are the one with your intention. Floating in warm water where every cell of you is immersed with your intention is in my opinion, the best way to embody your intention.”

During this episode Jonathan and I touch on topics of imposter syndrome, honouring yourself in your business and how comparison will rob you of happiness. In today’s business world, there is a certain pressure to be perfect. This ideal person is always put together, great at work and has a picture-perfect family life. It’s easy to forget that it’s okay not to have everything figured out. It’s important to find balance in your life; be healthy, keep your family close and take care of yourself. Some of the most successful people are those who can let go of what society deems as success and instead focus on what truly matters to them. Being authentic goes beyond just being yourself at work; it's about accepting all aspects of your personality, even the parts you might not like about yourself.
