Think your business idea has to be PERFECT before you start? In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, inventor, and Pilates expert Amy Jordan to talk about what it actually looks like to trust your ideas enough to bring them to life. Amy shares how she went from a career at Marvel to opening a Pilates studio as a side hustle, inventing her own equipment, earning multiple patents, and building businesses around the problems she saw people experiencing every day. We get into why your best ideas often come from getting closer to the people you want to serve, how to stop letting competition distract you, and why execution matters so much more than having a polished first version. Amy also opens up about how movement helped her heal from childhood trauma and supported her through an incredibly difficult battle with cervical cancer. Get ready to trust yourself more, pay attention to the problems worth solving, and take the first step on the idea you can’t stop thinking about.

She lived with her grandparents who were a significant influence to her creativity. Gorjana’s childhood home was full of handmade trinkets, which ignited her passion of creation and ultimately led her to visualize gorjana as a brand.   After completing her degree in Marketing at Arizona State University she moved with her (now) husband, Jason, to California. While working in the jewelry department at Neiman Marcus, Gorjana realized she had a love for jewelry design. She soon started working with a local designer to learn all aspects of the jewelry-making business. She set out to design fun, versatile jewelry that all of her friends would want - at an accessible price point.   At 26, she did just that. Gorjana launched her namesake jewelry collection with an accessible price point that had the look and feel of high-end jewelry. During their humble beginnings, Gorjana and Jason would drive thousands of miles selling their collection and fulfill orders from their apartment. The pair ultimately grew out of the apartment and into an artist’s studio in the canyon of Laguna Beach, California.    gorjana has since grown into a multi-million dollar business with high-profile customers that include the likes of Michelle Obama. Gorjana still maintains the welcoming price point and customer experience, which has allowed the expansion of their DTC stores across the country, with more store openings announced in 2022.  ABOUT IVA Iva Pawling is the CEO and Co-Founder of Richer Poorer. Iva has taken the company through fundraising, an early acquisition, and a founder buy back over the last decade. She leads the company’s strategic planning, brand direction and product category expansion with an irritating level of persistence. Iva has been featured in Forbes, Inc., LA Times and included in the 100 Powerful Women of 2020 in Entrepreneur Magazine. She has spent her entire 20-year career in the fashion industry, starting out in the PR closet at Kate Spade and ending in overseeing Brand Development for her sister’s namesake jewelry brand Gorjana, prior to founding Richer Poorer. Iva holds a B.S. in Communications from Arizona State University.

Rebecca’s success was further enhanced by the support of her brother, the company’s  CEO and co-founder, Uri Minkoff, who helped usher in and pioneer the company’s industry-leading  innovations with technology and fashion.  After four years of designing statement-making handbags and accessories with her trademark leathers,  studs and hardware, Rebecca returned to her roots of apparel design and introduced her first ready-to-wear  collection in 2009.  Today, Rebecca Minkoff is a global brand with a wide range of apparel, handbags, footwear, jewelry and  accessories products. In the spring of 2017, Rebecca Minkoff Watches was launched, reimagining the  category through their decidedly downtown, rock-and-roll aesthetic.   The brand has 3 national retail stores, eight international locations, and is distributed in over 900 stores  worldwide. In 2015, Rebecca Minkoff stores unveiled the first ever “Magic Mirror” technology, where  customers could interact with mirrors installed in the dressing room walls of her store and tap to pick out  additional sizes, colors and styles of clothing.  In 2011, Rebecca won industry recognition when she was awarded the Breakthrough Designer Award from  the Accessories Council. She is an active member of the CFDA, and supports multiple philanthropies  including Baby2Baby organization. In August of 2017, she was announced as a member of the first-ever New  York State Council on Women and Girls, in the company of other female industry leaders including  Refinery29 founder Christene Barberich, SoulCycle CEO Melanie Whelan and Deloitte CEO Cathy Engelbert.  Rebecca is dedicated to bringing women together to enact positive change.  In September of 2018, she established the Female Founder Collective, a network of businesses led by  women who invest in women’s financial power across a socio-economic spectrum by enabling and  empowering female-owned businesses.  In 2020, Rebecca will launch a diffusion line of children’s clothing called ‘little minkoff”, marking a foray into  designing a truly sustainable and environmentally friendly collection. She will also launch a new name sake  fragrance to be sold at retailers nationwide.  Rebecca is married to director Gavin Bellour, and they reside in Brooklyn with their three children.

Not just because she’s doing big things in the world, but because she’s truly tapped into the power of being herself. You hear it all the time: Being your authentic self is your superpower. But how do you do that? Jessica is going to show you how you can activate this power inside of you at this very moment, reminding you how to get out of your head and figure out what it is about you that makes you unique and apply it to everything you do.   Question Highlights: How did you get comfortable asking for things outside of your comfort zone? What does it mean to build an obsession-worthy personal brand? What do you do when you think you’ve found yourself and then you go and do something new? Why should you build a personal brand in the first place? How do you start building out a personal brand? What is something that you wish more people knew about you?   Guest Bio: Jessica Zweig is the CEO of the SimplyBe. Agency, a premier personal branding firm based in Chicago, serving clients across the globe. Named a “Personal Branding Expert” by Forbes, a Top Digital Marketer To Watch by INC, and honored with the Gold and Silver Stevie® Award for “Female Entrepreneur of the Year” in 2018 and 2019, Jessica facilitates sold-out workshops and speaks on the power of personal branding to corporations including Google, Salesforce, Virgin, Nike, Motorola, Red Bull, and Bank of America. She also hosts the top-ranked marketing podcast The SimplyBe Podcast. Jessica’s debut book, Be: A No Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self Worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself, launches in February 2021 with Sounds True, an imprint of Macmillan.  After growing up in Highland Park, IL, and attending the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, Jessica co-founded CheekyChicago, one of the premier lifestyle magazines in Chicago. The website was a huge success, and although Jessica was known as a Top 10 Chicago “It” Girl, behind the scenes her life was far from perfect. The website began to lose money, and Jessica’s relationship with her co-founder turned toxic, but she still strove to maintain the façade of success. After overdrafting her checking account and unable to pay her cell phone bill, Jessica realized she wasn’t being her authentic self. Instead, she was operating from a place of fear which prevented her from true success. This revelation led Jessica to found her own company, SimplyBe. Agency, in 2014.   At SimplyBe., Jessica and her team work with corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and creatives to become recognized industry experts and thought leaders. SimplyBe works with clients including Heineken, Morningstar, Blackstone, Mars, Vishen Lakhiani, Jason Rosenthal, Andrea Levoff, Larry Jordan, and many more to successfully develop their personal brands while highlighting their greatest business asset: their authenticity. Her business provides customized branding, marketing, and creative services with an emphasis on core values like kindness, truth, service, and of course, authenticity.  Jessica believes authenticity is the key to true success, and that being yourself opens up a new world of empowerment that’s not just about how much money you’re making. She’s also on a mission to debunk the perception that personal branding is an act of vanity; instead, when done right, personal branding is an act of service, a social responsibility, and a positive investment toward a positive future.  Jessica has brought her life-changing and trademarked methodology to clients around the world, taking many from unknown experts to recognized thought leaders. In her free time, she loves traveling, meditating, journaling, working out, and reading. She is involved with multiple charities including the Humane Society, The Human Rights Campaign, I Grow Chicago, Black Lives Matter, and more. Jessica currently lives in Chicago with her husband and two dogs.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Needing connection more than ever Finding out what makes you happy Having commitment over motivation How to accept feedback and filter it Being true to yourself Writing down your ideas   Resources: allinbyteddi.com Instagram: instagram.com/teddimellencamp Listen: allinbyteddi.com/podcast instagram.com/drinklitepink   Show Notes: Whether you love or hate the show Real Housewives, you have definitely heard of it. And that probably means you’ve heard of today’s guest Teddi Mellencamp. We met at a personal development conference a few years ago and I learned about her health program, ALL IN by Teddi. Her current profession as an accountability coach and fitness influencer arose from her desire to help others achieve healthier lifestyles after discovering a tried-and-true way to unleash your best self. We talk about the different things that she’s dealt with while filming the show, the different life challenges we are facing right now, and how you can have a strong backbone and get clear about what’s important right now, and how to keep moving forward no matter what.   Question Highlights: How is the pandemic we’re going through now going to affect the way you make decisions moving forward? What are the conversations like in your household? Does your mind compartmentalize all of your accomplishments? What is true for you around purpose or creating purpose? How has seeing people change during your program changed you? What’s a strength that has moved you forward in your life? What’s on the other side of being authentic? How do you decide what is good feedback and what isn’t? How do you filter the criticism and feedback you get? How do you detach yourself from other people’s opinions? What is one of the biggest learning lessons for you?   Guest Bio: Born in Bloomington, Indiana and raised in Hilton Head Island, SC, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave made a name for herself at a young age as a competitive equestrian, later incorporating that fierce competitive drive and spirit into her current profession as a much sought out lifestyle and accountability coach, as well as tackling the ups and downs of filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Teddi’s love of horses and the sport of equestrian started at the age of 4, as she soon found herself traveling all around the country to compete in various prestigious horse shows with the venerable Don Stewart Stables. She quickly rose through the ranks to be awarded several national championships, culminating with Teddi winning the stakes class at Madison Square Garden in her final year competing as a Junior. Teddi relocated to Los Angeles at 17 where she worked at CAA and UTA before returning to her passion of equestrian riding and training. In 2009, she was named World Champion Hunter Rider winner as an emerging professional. But after having kids, Teddi went from professional to amateur and currently competes on horses owned by Balmoral Farms; in 2016 she was named Reserve Champion World Champion Hunter Rider in the Adult Hunters category. Teddi’s current profession as an accountability coach and fitness influencer arose from her desire to help others achieve healthier lifestyles after discovering a tried-and-true way to unleashing your best self. Struggling with a fluctuating weight her entire life, Teddi found after her second pregnancy and 80lb gain that the weight didn’t come off as easily as it once did. Her riding career had taken a backseat to motherhood and the life/ work balance just wasn’t there for her. She realized that she needed to change her lifestyle, find her passion and really hold herself accountable for her actions to develop a healthier way of living. All IN by Teddi first started out as Teddi reviewing various fitness classes in the Los Angeles area on Instagram. As she worked to get fit, her following grew and her purpose quickly morphed into Teddi giving fitness advice and urging her followers to become the best versions of themselves possible through self-accountability. While not a certified fitness instructor or nutritionist, Teddi developed a program that gets results for anyone and works with her clients to see them through their struggles to become happier and healthier. All IN has become the next burgeoning lifestyle brand, with Teddi now managing 40 coaches, all of whom have gone through the program, with a roster of clients across the US and Canada in the 1000s and a continual waitlist. More information on All IN can be found at www.allinbyteddi.com When she’s not being a super mom or changing lives, Teddi can also be seen on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, with her third season due to air this spring. After one season on the show, Teddi instantly connected with the fans due to her strength, positive attitude, and willingness to be open and truthful with her struggles. Not only did this help with her growing business, but it also led to Teddi’s rise as a social media influencer, going from 10K Instagram followers to over 500K in the course of a year, and now over 800K. In 2019 Teddi launched her podcast with iHeartRadio, Teddi Tea Pod. Each episode centers around a different topic that Teddi deep dives into, from open marriages to motherhood and relationships, featuring experts on the subjects to answer all of her burning questions. Teddi and her husband Edwin Arroyave, CEO and founder of Skyline Security Management, Inc., live in Los Angeles and have three children: daughter Slate, son Cruz, and in February welcomed a baby girl. Teddi is also a stepmother to Isabella, Arroyave’s daughter from a previous relationship.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Chris and Lori’s Become Aligned course How Natalya and Naomi deal with their very busy schedules How going to the gym with her mom is helping Natalya deal with the loss of her father How Natalya and Naomi make time for their families How having children fits into a wrestling career Natalya and Naomi’s next steps How it took Natalya five years to get into WWE How Natalya and Naomi support each other and their fellow competitors    Resources: Instagram: @_wwe_natalya_ Instagram: @trinity_fatu The Bliss Project 2020 Chris and Lori’s Become Aligned course Show Notes: Today my guests are WWE stars Natalya and Naomi. We chat about how they keep each other motivated even though they’re on the road and busy all the time. We also cover how Natalya is coping with the loss of her father and how they make time for their families. In this conversation I learnt a lot about how Natalya and Naomi push through to reach their goals. For example it took Natalya five years to get accepted for WWE but she kept trying.   Question Highlights: You want to stay in shape for the ring. But you’re on the road all the time. How do you mentally prepare for that?  What do you do when it feels like you can't push through mentally?  What is something that you wish more people knew about you? What are your next steps, career wise? When did you realize that helping other competitors and lifting them up actually lifts you up? What are you most excited about right now in your life? What is something for people who feel like they're either afraid or hitting a wall?    Guest Bio: With a combination of beauty, talent and untamed desire, Natalya is proudly carrying on the legacy of the legendary Hart Family in WWE. The daughter of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, Natalya was trained in the rough-and-tumble Hart Dungeon. That unforgiving training ground that churned out mat greats like Brian Pillman and Natalya's husband, Tyson Kidd, molded The Queen of Harts into one of WWE's most dangerous submission grapplers. She also learned from her uncle Bret “Hit Man” Hart by driving many of her opponents to tap via a Sharpshooter. Her presence out of the ring is almost as formidable: Starring on E!’s Total Divas reality series and working as an active supporter of WWE and The Creative Coalition’s Be a STAR Alliance, Make-A-Wish, Susan G. Komen and the WrestleMania Reading Challenge. Natalya came agonizingly close to capturing championships for several years until she finally broke through at SummerSlam 2017, defeating Naomi for the SmackDown Women’s Championship to earn the gold for the first time since claiming the Divas Title in 2010. The WWE Universe always assumed it would take a man of tremendous ability to live up to the legendary legacy of the pink and black. As it turned out, it’s doing just fine in this woman’s hands. As the second-highest cause of whiplash behind car accidents, Naomi first turned heads as a dancer for the NBA's Orlando Magic and hip-hop stars like Flo Rida. These talents would take her around the world, as Naomi performed everywhere from North Korea to Indonesia. Despite all that success, Naomi's dance steps couldn’t satisfy her competitive spirit, which is how she found herself as a contestant on WWE NXT. Despite being eliminated in the final week of her season, Naomi soon launched into orbit around Planet Funk, as one half of The Funkadactyls. From there, she broke out on her own, determined to take WWE by storm. The Total Divas star has since had a series of remarkable runs as both fan-favorite and corner-cutting villain, doggedly pursuing the Divas Championship for the better part of a year and cementing her status as a ring general by heading up the attitude-filled Team B.A.D. of Tamina and Sasha Banks during the Divas Evolution.  Naomi then reinvented herself yet again as part of the SmackDown LIVE brand, making one-and-all feel the glow as she came face-to-face with her destiny by winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship twice, including an epic victory at WrestleMania 33 in a Six-Pack Challenge Match. A year later, she made history once again when she eliminated Bayley to win the first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34. After the 2019 Superstar Shake-up, Naomi is now adding a glow to the red brand. Earn Your Happy is a production of Crate Media

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Seeing the vision even in difficult times Moving forward after realizing a change needed to be made Overcoming traumas Katrina’s solid partnership with her husband What balance actually means Asking the community what they want, then creating it New challenges with new growth Being extremely sensitive The commitment of female friendships   Resources: Learn more: toneitup.com (use code: EARNYOURHAPPY) Instagram: @toneitup ; @karenadawn ; @katrinaascott Popsugar Playground Tone It Up! App   Show Notes I am so unbelievably excited for today’s episode because I am joined by the co-founders of Tone It Up!, Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott! These women are so inspirational, and this episode is filled with juicy goodness– you’re going to LOVE it. Today, we dive straight into the good stuff and talk about what it’s been like building an empire together, how I met them right at the start of their incredible creation, and so much more. This is one you absolutely won’t want to miss!   Question Highlights: Were you able to see the vision of your life even when times were bleak? How did you slowly progress once you knew you needed to make a change? What do you wish more people would ask you? What do you do to really share your journey? What does balance actually mean to you? Is there something that’s really challenging you right now? How do you move through the darkness? How do you maintain your solid friendship? How do you work through any uncertainties?   Karena Dawn, Tone It Up Co-Founder: Tone It Up co-founder, Karena Dawn is a spirited entrepreneur and lifestyle celebrity whose passion for healthy living, fitness, and wellness has placed her at the forefront of the health and fitness industries. Fate first introduced the triathlete and former sports model and host to then, personal trainer, Katrina Scott, at a Manhattan Beach gym in 2008. Inspiration and passion collided, and the girls started filming fitness videos for YouTube. The channel gained increasing attention from women across the country who became dedicated to their new trainers. Taking the world by storm with their fresh, fun, and friendly approach, Dawn and Scott built the Tone It Up lifestyle brand and community, a large and loyal network of like minded women. This inspiring, energetic “friend-to-friend" approach to fitness has made Tone It Up the go-to, one stop destination for women seeking a fun, unique approach to achieving their best self. Originally from Indiana, Dawn fell in love with sports and fitness at a young age. She completed her first half-marathon at 12-years-old and some of her earliest memories include watching her mom workout to Jane Fonda videos in their living room – she even filmed her own workout video on VHS for a 1st grade class project. After her youth became full of turmoil due to her mothers mental illness, Dawn went through 10 years of severe depression and escape into drug abuse. In her early 20's she was ready to regain her life and live in love rather than fear. She rediscovered fitness and the memories of how it made her feel. Dawn began using triathlon as her therapy.

Dr. Erin Haskell is the creator and host of Good Morning LALALAND, a live streaming television show focused on reporting good news and inspiration. She has so much truth, light, and intention in all that she does. Erin is an all around go-getter and spectacular woman, and I knew she would be a great guest to have on the show. In this conversation, we talk about how Erin likes to start off all of her meetings with an invocation for the group, plus she shares her story and how she found her way to being the Doctor of Divinity. We go deep into how and why we should reprogram ourselves from past stories and traumas, and releasing fears and anxieties. Erin also shares ways that we can work on ourselves in relationships, how to free yourself from judgement, and both finding and understanding our own truths. This conversation moved me, and truly shifted my soul. I can’t wait for you all to listen and have a little piece of Dr. Erin in your life today, too.   Question Highlights: What was the pivot from darkness to the first step out of darkness? How do we gain the willingness to look + start working on reprogramming? What is the best way to release fear and impostor syndrome? How do you allow you to show up for yourself? What to do around finding your truth without the judgement? How can you free people up around relationships? What can we think of to get back to a neutral state in order to make decisions when in relationships? What is an ultimate truth? A relative truth? What type of ministry does Erin practice? What is Erin’s book, Awakening, about?   Quotes "All those judgements, al that stacking up of self-judgement, and that gets triggered when we are touching on our greatness." "Relatives truths are what’s true for you." "You are here to judge; you’re here to say what works for you and what doesn’t work for you." “That is the highest stance is to not make anyone wrong.” “When you do your own work, everyone around you transforms instantaneously.” “We need to have fun, we need to play, but we need to remember what we’re here for which is really… we’re here to do work.”   Dr. Erin Fall Haskell, Doctor of Divinity, New Thought Leader, Transformational Author and Speaker, Conscious Entrepreneur, Global Peace Leader Award 2016, Mother and Lover of Life!

Bottom line, she attributes her happiness and fulfillment to the spiritual truth, which is not just knowing the universal truth, but living it! “There are moments in life when something happens, life alters, and your entire perception transforms instantaneously.” For Erin, that moment was 22 years ago when she was holding her stillborn son in her arms, just after giving birth to him. “Tears were streaming down my face as I looked at his beautiful body and realized his body was still there, but he wasn’t. I realized he wasn’t his body; he is a spiritual being. One can conceptually understand that we are not these bodies, but I got it on an entirely different level, my entire world crumbled, delivering me to spiritual revelation.” This sent her on an intense spiritual quest traveling around the world, discovering truths and working with gurus and spiritual masters learning how to live and embody the truths that had been revealed.   Follow me on social media @LoriHarder on Instagram and Lori Harder on Facebook

This past weekend I was invited to write and share a new spoken word poem at my soul sister, Danette May’s event. To say I was terrified is putting it mildly, but I did it! And while I’m still processing my the journey and the emotions around it, one thing I know for certain is that my fear is always the X that marks the spot when it comes to what fulfills me and makes me feel like I’m living in my highest potential. I shared a couple clips of the poem on social media, but have gotten several requests to hear the poem in its entirety. Always one to feel the fear again (why?!), I’ve recorded it on this episode and have provided the words below. If my words pull at your soul and you know someone else who would benefit, please share. Thanks so much for all of your support! Here we go… I got up today only to find that I’m still not yet where I want to be A little less “I woke up like this”  A little more - “existential crisis” – feeling stuck in my reality.   When I think about who I am now, compared to who I think I’m supposed to be  I wake up every morning, AND INSTEAD of doing things that set me free I put on a straight-jacket and wear someone else’s identity.    Not even accepting myself on my own ID  Height one inch taller Weight 10 pounds smaller Anyone else fear a lie detector test at the DMV – or is it just me?   Just the thought of trying to change my life makes me feel defeated  Like I got the short end of the stick Or like this bitch over here got all the talent  And I got cheated.   When I close my eyes, I can see my life’s vision But when I open them, I can’t see past my email, my thighs, my to-do list and dirty kitchen I mean what’s it gonna take to reach my dream, be seen, and get attention? Instead of growing my mind I put all my energy towards beauty, titles and Instagram mentions.   When will I be enough? Thanks to Fairytales and Ariel, I’ve spent my whole life chasing people and stuff “Look at this stuff isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?”   Still waiting for my Prince Charming, castle and Fairy Godmother Jerry Maguire said, “You complete me”  So feeling enough must ONLY come from a love.r   So many mixed messages, it’s no wonder we’re confused The world tries keeping us busy stressing over low carbs, waist trainers and red-bottom shoes They sidetrack us from our purpose with diets and promises of youth But it’s a choice to decide to be committed to finding and living your truth.   The other day I was walking past a man in conversation with his mate He said, and I quote, “You deserve the life you tolerate” I just about choked Cause at that point in my day I was feeling upset Sorry for myself because there are unlived dreams I haven’t met yet If what I tolerate is the life that I’m living  then you’re telling me it’s been my choice to not use these gifts I’ve been given?   They say through ownership I can get my power back I gotta be honest – easier said than done I was really hoping this whole personal development thing would be a little more fun…   True story – I was recently at an event like this Sitting in the audience And from the stage I felt the speakers words hit me in the soul much like a deliverance: I am not what you think I am; I am not what I think I am; I am what I think you think I am.” Let me repeat that…. I am not what you think I am; I am not what I think I am; I am what I think you think I am” Moral of the story is the only thing that’s stopping us, is what other people think  Get your mind off other people’s shit  And put your soul back in the driver’s seat!  The only thing wrong with you is that you think something is wrong with you.   Everything is right with you  In spite of you Ignoring the higher you The answers are all inside of you So why are you Gripping onto others view When what they think of you is…  NOTHING. Because they’re only thinkin’ about themselves.   The truth will set you free, But first it will piss you off And the truth is: If you keep fighting for your limitations, you get to keep them It’s time to stop choosing suffering  and choose to fight for your queendom.    I know the life I’m born for and the woman I’m supposed to be I’m embarrassed to tell you my soul is an undercover celebrity So where do I go if I believe the life I have now must be disputed  It’s like I can see I’m on screen But my voice has been muted It’s been so long since I’ve used it, or maybe I never learned how But lately something’s stirring, rising up telling me my time is now.   What stops us are the lies we choose to believe It’s an imagined future of pain that we think we perceive  It’s when I’m alone that my fears go viral Next is panic, then my anxiety starts to spiral.    I’m picturing judgment, comparison, an imagined future that’s not even real  It’s our past informing our future telling us how to feel! I believe the reason we feel pain is because we need to bridge the gap, Between our fear and our faith in our source and its unlimited tap.   In order to become the woman I’m chasing I have to let go of the woman I’m facing The mirror is the place where you have to fall in love With all the scars from our past  Reconfigure them from curses, into gifts from above Trusting that what you have now is what you need to begin And who’ll you’ll become will transform as you start to step in.   If I don’t start to take action now, it will be consequential  Because my biggest fear is dying, without reaching my highest potential ‘Cuz it just takes one to change your family tree and your bravery and courage is bringing your ancestors to their knees They may not have been able to use their voice or have what you do That’s why you must take action, They have blazed this trail for you.   But we have to wake up from the lie, and emerge from our comas To stop sleepwalking through life requires more than a kiss from a prince or diploma.   See, the magic of life is that it gives you clues And if you’re open and seeking you get glimpses of truth And in case it’s still in question, YES you’ve been chosen, you’re forgiven it’s written But you gotta SHOW UP - STAND UP - RISE UP - stop sittin’.   The map to your bliss is to follow it, and keep showing up It’s going to be messy, your hands will shake, you’ll get criticized and you’ll want to throw up Becoming the biggest version of you is the scariest thing you’ll do  You’ll have darkness and pain and some friends will leave you.   But I’m going to let you in on life’s ultimate hack It’s that you get to choose gratitude even when it feels like the universe doesn’t have your back. God wants to use you He guides those who are willing And it’s not up to you to decide if your dream is worth killing   You’ve got a soul contract to live into your life’s call  Don’t worry about failing, you will, it’s a part of it     But you’ve got sisters here to catch you when you fall Choose love Choose forgiveness  Choose courage Choose your truth.   Every single time you show up  It gives more hope for our youth Stay close to what makes you feel ALIVE Don’t just survive  That’s not why you’re here But you gotta continue to do the things that help you get clear.   PAY ATTENTION to soul hits, nudges and winks AND whenever you get them, take action and don’t think Sometimes when I’m quiet, when I’m running, or if Eminem’s rapping I’ll lose myself in the music and feel God start the tapping On three, everybody get up, we’re gonna start clapping   3, 2, 1…   Sister you're a star – you’re a strong girl Playin’ in your gifts - gonna start to change the world today You got glitter on yo' face Your hair’s in place Spreading your magic all over the place   Singin’   We will, we will rise up We will, we will rise up   Follow me on social media @LoriHarder on Instagram and Lori Harder on Facebook

I am so thrilled today to have Tom Bilyeu on the show! I recently had the amazing opportunity and experience of being interviewed on his podcast, Impact Theory and I couldn’t wait to continue the conversation and learn even more about the similarities in our lives and business – and this time, pick his brain.   Similar to my journey, Tom grew up in a family who struggled with their weight, and broke the pattern by choosing to pave a healthier way for himself and as result change the trajectory of his life at the same time. That’s why today he’s so passionate about helping others who struggle with their weight. However, Tom is the first to acknowledge that it’s not always an easy path. In fact, when it comes to success in weight loss or a business or career, nothing is guaranteed – except the pain or struggle. And to get through any of that, you must take action and also accept that you may not be right about x-y-z right now. We have to be willing to make changes if we want to see change.   Tune in to learn just what Tom does that helps him do just that. He shares so many tangible takeaways for all of us to start looking at what we’re doing right now and more into our next level of life. Please let me know what thoughts or actions you put into place because of them!   --   Question Highlights: Can you tell us a little about your background and what got you started in studying film? What’s the difference between finding knowledge and finding what motivates you? What is it in your mind that makes you contemplate what is good and change your path? What do you do and what do you look for in order to make sure you’re putting yourself in those spaces? What does creativity mean to you and what would your life look like without it? Where does the creation of a comic book fit into things right now? What’s your grand vision for what you’re doing right now? Do you know what that one story is? How are you seeking out the people needed for your next level?   In This Episode We Talk about: Tom’s family history of obesity Why Tom’s deeply passionate about helping people who struggle with weight Why the brain is malleable until we die Embracing inadequacies 80/20 motivation principle The difference between drive and ambition How Quest Nutrition was founded on passion Why Tom wasn’t a born entrepreneur The concept of renewal in nature and in life Cultivating a frame of reference Tom’s eagerness to reinvent himself Finding fulfillment Accepting that you’re wrong about things now Why being the smartest person in the room is a trap Being “anti-fragile” Harnessing adaptability Building relationships and making authentic connections And so much more…   Quotes   “I’m going to believe the things that empower me.”   “The gap between where you are and what you want to accomplish is a gap of skillset. It is you not being good enough.”   “If you want to get to extraordinary, you’re going to have to realize that we’re rewarded and punished.”   “Drive is the willingness to act on a day-to-day basis in a way that moves you toward your goals. Ambition is having the goals.”   “To develop my drive, I had to suffer.”   “Things that are hard are gonna be the things that develop who you are.”   “What would we do and love every day even if we were failing?”   “The struggle is guaranteed – the success is not.”   “The skillset you already have has already taken you as far as its going to unless you do something that introduces you to a new idea that you turn into a usable skill.”     -- Tom Bilyeu is the co-founder of 2014 Inc. 500 company Quest Nutrition — a unicorn startup valued at over $1 billion — and the co-founder and host of Impact Theory. Tom’s mission is to break people out of the Matrix by sharing transformative content and fostering one-to-one communication within the Impact Theory community. Tom believes that human potential is nearly limitless, but the dual pandemics of mental and physical malnutrition are hindering a realization of this potential. Through in-depth interviews with the world’s top achievers, including Gary Vaynerchuk, Maria Sharapova, and Mel Robbins, Tom explores mindset-shifting tactics, questions accepted belief systems, and uncovers distinctive strategies for success.   Tom regularly inspires audiences of entrepreneurs, change makers, and thought leaders at prestigious conferences and seminars around the world, including Success Live, Hustle Con, Thrive, Abundance 360, Mindvalley’s A-fest, and Freedom Fast Lane.

You know how every now and then you get lucky and have a conversation with someone who just “gets” you, your journey and how your brain works? Well, today’s guest, Robyn Youkilis checked that box. Growing up in a family that used food as a source of love, comfort and connection, I could completely relate. Don’t get me wrong this is a great thing, however the breaking point for Robyn (and myself) is when we started gaining weight and that warm, fuzzy connection went away and instead turned into a difficult connection.   Once she made this realization, Robyn set out to create a new conversation around food and weight. She didn’t want to view things as “good” or “bad,” rather she wanted to slow things down and figure out what foods would best support her body.   After much trial and error (that still happens on a daily basis), she now teaches others that it’s OK if you don’t have it all figured out – it may even take decades. It’s all about finding a formula that works for your body and adheres to what your intuition is telling you and keeps you in alignment. She also touches on how motherhood impacted her relationship with food and how it led to an impactful shift in her life then and now.   I had such a great time connecting with Robyn during this conversation. If you’re someone who struggles with your relationship with food, this episode is a must listen (and her book, Thin from Within, a must read).   --   Question Highlights: What is your life philosophy and how did you get to this place? What did the process of slowing down look for you? How has food become a foundation for everything you’re doing? What’s something in your life right now that you’re so excited about that you weren’t able to do before because food/body was taking up so much space in your brain? What is lighting you up the most right now? What is a question you wish more people would ask you? Do you have a secret dream that you envision for your future?   In This Episode We Talk about: Robyn’s relationship with food and how it changed at age 13 The emotional and physical weight of not living in alignment Food as an experience Robyn’s initial resistance with motherhood and how it was a major foundational shift for her How Robyn has learned to slow down, connect with her body and intuition and gut, teach from that place and “calm the eff down” How to connect with your body Setting intention behind activities to achieve alignment Finding your intuitive food voice Robyn’s power yogurt parfait and Rule of Five Plate The connection between your food/body and success in other areas of your life Rockstar Coaching Program Robyn’s new book, “Thin from Within” Why Robyn wants people to how she “does it all” And so much more…   Quotes   “You feel good when you're connected to other people.”   “My body is my home.”   “Let your own story and journey be what you want it to be and know that it’s OK.”   “Go with your gut.”   -- Robyn Youkilis is an AADP Certified Health Coach, author, speaker, and leading expert in holistic digestive health. For nearly a decade, Robyn has helped clients shed both physical and emotional weight with her straightforward yet supportive coaching style, Your Healthiest You. She is the author of the best-selling books, Go with Your Gut and Thin From Within - The Go with Your Gut Way to Lose Weight, and has been featured by The Cooking Channel, The View, The Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, Health, Mind Body Green, Well Good, The Chalkboard Mag and more. Robyn currently lives in New York City and Los Angeles with her husband and their daughter.

Money doesn’t guarantee fulfillment and today’s guest, Patrice Washington, is hoping more women catch on. As an award-winning author, transformational speaker, hope-restoring coach, and media personality, she started her first 7-figure mortgage-brokering business with her husband before graduating college. Their business was wildly successful until the recession crashed and they lost everything. Picking herself up after this experience, she realized that she had a lot of knowledge but needed to seek more wisdom. She dug deep and knew it was more important to chase her purpose – not money. She discovered that life is about so much more – relationships, your well-being and your faith to name a few. Recognizing the power of this discovery, she created the 6 Pillars of Redefining Wealth, and now teaches others how they can tie each pillar back to producing wealth – and stay true to who they’re called to be. I had such a great time talking with Patrice – she is such a down-to-earth, purpose-driven woman who relies on faith and her own unique calling to help others find theirs as well. I hope this episode empowers you to break free from any limiting beliefs that you have about yourself and helps you step into your highest purpose and calling.   --   Question Highlights: What were some things you took back from your recent trip to France? Does the thought of working with your husband again scare you? What is lighting you up right now in your life? What is something you would say to someone who’s ignoring a redefining moment? How do you trust? What do you rely on to push past fear? What are the 6 Pillars of Redefining Wealth? What’s something that helps build your faith foundation? What mindset do you keep through the dark times? What’s a message on your heart right now?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Patrice’s recent trip to France impacted her How Patrice and her husband are merging their interests to work together Being driven by purpose The shift that happened in Patrice’s life after her and her husband lost their 7-figure business when the recession hit The difference between knowledge and wisdom Why Patrice initially started a blog How Patrice broke out of the box she (and others) had put herself in Why there’s more to money than budgets and credit reports Patrice’s 6 Pillars of Redefining Wealth (Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work and Money) Protecting the vessel needed to create the vision Creating relationships that matter The Redefining Wealth Podcast And so much more…   Quotes   “The purpose that we’re being called into is greater than any pain that will come with it.”   “Create a lane where you can be all you.”   “I’m committed to the vision but not attached to how I get there.”   “If it was done before, it can be done again.”   “Everything can go bad with money, but if your mind is in the right place, you can always rebuild.”   “You know who you used to be, so before you allow someone to take you back there, give yourself time.”   “You can decide to not decide anything until you’re ready to decide.”   “Choose peace powerfully.” --   Patrice Washington is an award-winning author, transformational speaker, hope-restoring coach, and media personality.   Patrice got her start as your favorite personal finance expert, “America’s Money Maven,” having tremendous success with her “mindset approach” to personal finance. She has since expanded her brand and mission, encouraging women to chase purpose, not money.   Patrice is committed to redefining the word “wealth,” using its original meaning, “well-being.” She encourages women to have “wealth” in all aspects of their lives by pursuing their purpose, being fulfilled, and earning more without ever chasing money. Through her teachings, Patrice empowers women to look at life through the lens of abundance and opportunity, instead of lack and scarcity.   As the founder of Redefining Wealth and The Earn More Money Movement for Women, Patrice has built a thriving community of high-achieving women committed to creating a powerful life vision – in their careers, home, health, and personal finances.   Resources: PatriceWashington.com IG: @seekwisdompcw The Redefining Wealth Podcast on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/redefining-wealth-with-patrice-washington/id1281824139?mt=2 Listen to Lori’s interview on The Redefining Wealth Podcast here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lori-harder-you-need-a-tribe/id1281824139?i=1000417911740&mt=2  Check out my website at loriharder.com.

Having grown up in a broken but happy family, today’s guest, Cayla Craft, knew she was meant to do big things and help people. However, she first had to change the lens she was viewing her life through. In order for her to create what she wanted out of life, she had to ditch the mentality of “I am nothing,” and instead share her story to help others.   Once Cayla realized that there was no need to compare her journey with someone else’s, she could stop trying to please everyone, find her purpose, dictate how she lived her life and make herself a priority. And that’s just what she did.   As a result, today Cayla is a self-made millionaire and now teaches other entrepreneurial women how to do the same. She gives women the tools and resources they need to have an abundant mindset and shamelessly pursue their ambitions while still enjoying life.   There were so many moments I related to throughout our conversation and I have a feeling many of you will as well. I would love to hear what those moments are! Happy listening!   --   Question Highlights: Did you always know that you were going to do big things and help a lot of people? What is something you would say to someone who is still in that push phase or exhausting themselves? When did you know your story was the most powerful thing you could share? What do you tell someone to get started on in order to feel fulfilled and successful? Why is it so important to make sure you’re creating new relationships and leaving old ones behind? Why do we feel like we need to please others and how do we break ourselves from that mindset? If someone is on the verge of having a difficult conversation, what would you tell them? Have you ever experienced “imposter syndrome,” and if so, how did you deal with it? What are your fears right now and how do you handle them? What do you think is the biggest difference between people who are creating the life they love and stepping into their authentic truth and those who aren’t?   In This Episode We Talk about: Cayla’s upbringing in a broken, but happy home Why Cayla felt like a warrior for so long Removing the lens of “I am nothing.” Why self-awareness is the first step of transformation The importance of doing the internal work Reframing your story and finding your purpose Creating new relationships and leaving behind old relationships that aren’t serving you behind Making yourself a priority Allowing others to feel uncomfortable so they can grow Why we can never take anything personally How Cayla preps when she needs to have difficult/uncomfortable conversations Different perceptions of reality Putting your focus on serving others How Cayla’s raising kids that live empowered and inspired lives Mommy Millionaire Podcast And so much more…   Quotes   “You’ve already done enough; now it’s time for your message to be heard.”   “You have to change the story – you have to rewrite what you want out of your life.”   “Self-awareness is the first key to transformation.”   “Stop living your life for an audience that doesn’t exist.”   “Stop looking outward and start looking inward.”   “I don’t need to Google – the answers are already inside of me.”   --   Cayla Craft is a mom of 3, self-made millionaire, and lifestyle entrepreneur. The California native went from saving lives in the ER as a nurse working 9-5 to helping women pursue a passion for owning their own business. Her first taste of success began when she created an organization of 60k+ people for Isagenix, a company that sells health and wellness supplements. From that platform she branched out into business coaching and found incomparable satisfaction from helping others achieve success.   Cayla has helped thousands of women start to believe in themselves as entrepreneurs and business women. Her goal is to help mothers gain insight and confidence in their entrepreneurial endeavors, and grow their business to 7 figures! She gives women the tools and resources they need to have an abundant mindset and shamelessly pursue their ambitions while still enjoying life as a mom.   Cayla created Mommy Millionaire to fill a void of community driven by women searching to grow from good to great. Mommy Millionaire seeks to pour out practical tips and business know-how that is current and relevant to what is working today. Cayla is an expert in speaking about sales, culture, and online marketing with experience in keynote speeches on connecting.   Resources: MommyMillionaire.co IG: @cayla.craft  Mommy Millionaire Podcast on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mommy-millionaire/id1370982175?mt=2   Listen to Lori’s interview on the Mommy Millionaire podcast here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/002-tribe-called-bliss-how-women-can-lift-each-other/id1370982175?i=1000408886233&mt=2   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

I’ve been stalking following today’s guest, Jaclyn Johnson’s @createcultivate IG page for quite some time now. In fact, before I knew her personally, her event photos helped inspire me to create my own stage for The Bliss Project. But here’s the thing, Jaclyn’s events are way more than a gorgeous stage – they’re all about collaboration and helping other women create and cultivate the career of their dreams.   Don’t be fooled though, Create & Cultivate conferences aren’t just for entrepreneurs – they’re for all women who are looking for a refresh of inspiration in all things business.   Jaclyn and I talk about her rough start as a naïve 23-year-old entrepreneur who didn’t know what she was doing, the lessons she learned from it and why it helped her become the wildly successful CEO Creative & Cultivate she is today. Jaclyn also shares why Creative & Cultivate is thriving and why she hopes to help others with her new book, WorkParty, by providing tips on how to run a business, how to start thinking like an entrepreneur and how to maintain friendships, relationships and partnerships along the way. Since this interview I’ve completed her book and it’s definitely an inspirational must-read!     --   Question Highlights: Where are you at right now and how did you get there? What would you tell someone who’s looking for the next thing to get started and take the leap? What’s a question you’ve never been asked that you think people should ask when they’re starting a business or in a business? What does white space mean? What is a lesson that’s been painful and awesome? How did you learn not to take things personal? What do you do for yourself in order to make decisions and implement the culture you want? What is something you’re most excited about and something you’re working through right now? What is something you do with your team every single week to keep your team cohesive? What are the most important messages of your book, WorkParty? Who is someone you look up to right now for inspiration? What are your Creative & Cultivate events/conferences like? How do you let go of people/relationships that aren’t serving you? Why this book right now and who needs it?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Jaclyn’s entrepreneurial journey started and lead to founding Create & Cultivate Why we tend to be more creative when we have nothing to lose Runway and goal-setting Jaclyn’s definition of “white space” in the business world The importance of getting things in writing in terms of getting serious and legalities Friendships and business Approaching business from a human perspective by not escalating and remaining level-headed and fair Why work is part of Jaclyn’s self-care Keeping separation between business and those friends who are near and dear Scaling and growing a business while maintaining authenticity of the brand The most important messages of Jaclyn’s book, WorkParty Going against the status quo of what business looks like for women Handling hard decisions in the best way Why it’s so much better to collaborate vs. compete with others Why Jaclyn wrote WorkParty And so much more…   Quotes   “The reason I was wildly successful was because I didn’t play by the rules.”   “You’ll never know unless you just do it.”   “Start by just starting.”   “Collaboration over competition.”   “So much more can happen if we’re on the same team.”   --   Jaclyn Johnson is a powerhouse entrepreneur. By the time she was 28, she had sold her first business, (No Subject), invested in one of the country’s top female owned startups, Away, and launched her second multimillion dollar company, Create & Cultivate.   Johnson recognized a gap in resources for female millennial entrepreneurs and responded with solutions, Create & Cultivate and now, WorkParty. In the process, Jaclyn’s own philosophy, built on female empowerment, hustling-hard and innovation have propelled her voice to the forefront of the discussion on career, a new thought-leader for millennial women and Gen-Z-ers. Known for her powerful messaging and often imitated never duplicated style of digital and experiential marketing, Johnson is reshaping attitudes on female entrepreneurialism, work culture and the gig economy for women all over the world. In August, Jaclyn’s new book, WorkParty releases via Simon & Schuster, offering her rallying cry for women in the workplace.

Today’s guest, Tim Storey, is someone I’ve wanted to have on Earn Your Happy since before it was officially a thing. So you can imagine that I was practically levitating from excitement (and let’s be honest, I still am) to chat with him. If you’ve never heard of Tim, you’re missing out because he’s a master at moving people into action and helping people turn setbacks into comebacks. Seriously, when Tim speaks his energy comes out of his pores!   Realizing early on he wanted to help heal others, in our conversation we talk about where it all began (picture seven people in a two-bedroom house) and how he credits his upbringing to helping him think big in small places. We touch on spending time with people who get you (your tribe) and why we all need to start paying attention and be an observer to all the discoveries around us.   You may want to listen to this episode twice (I know I’ll be listening again) just to take in each and every one of his wisdom-filled words. I can’t wait to hear your takeaways!   --   Question Highlights: How did you become a speaker? How can we enjoy the discovery while in the recovery zone? Do you still have slumps and dry spells? What are some of the key things that help you speak with full expression, and how did you get to that place? What made you hold onto what your 6th grade teacher told you and make it your north star? What made it stand out? For people who feel like they need to change to be something or they don’t feel like they’re ready for the “thing,” what would you tell them? Do we have to make an empowering reason as to why we’re in a “winter?” How do you know the distinction of when to share certain things with others? How does one not get intimidated by the thought of mastery, but instead be almost pulled by their message to mastery? How do people know when to go to the next level of work?   In This Episode We Talk about: What moved Tim to become a speaker and help heal others Why the recovery zone is the common denominator Staying in the moment during your discovery Going back to being curious and innocent again Changing the channel of what you’re thinking and how Tim shifts his channel Tuning into the right things at the right times Being with people who get you (your tribe) Why Tim still holds onto his 6th grade teacher’s standard Breathing life into others through speaking Why people oftentimes must go left before they go right What Tim did when he was served papers while he was speaking at an event Why your testimony is the most powerful thing you have The Law of Harvest Why we can’t look for results every day And so much more…   Quotes “Unlock your discovery just by paying attention and observing.”   “If you’re not careful, life will knock the curiosity out of you.”   “Feed your faith, starve your doubt.”   “What I say, I live.”   “Set to be settled to be seasoned to soar.”   “You are seasoned for a reason. “   “You can handle the left and right at the same time.”   “Not all things should be spoken…some things should be left behind.”   “Don’t get stuck in the result.”   -- Tim Storey is an acclaimed author, speaker and life coach, well known for inspiring and motivating people of all walks of life, from entertainment executives, celebrities and athletes to adults and children in the most deprived neighborhoods in the country.

I hold today’s guest, Bedros Keuilian, in such a high regard and I can’t wait for you to hear his incredible journey thus far. Having immigrated to the U.S. with his family at the young age of 6 from Armenia (Soviet Union), he learned early on that sometimes getting uncomfortable or experiencing pain is necessary to step into better things.   From living in a one-bedroom apartment with his family of five to dumpster diving, each family member contributed in some way so they could live a better life. But where many people would use the adversities he and his family faced as an excuse not to go after their dreams, Bedros made them his why and set out determined to help others.   Today as an author, speaker and business consultant, Bedros is able to share his unique wisdom with people through his business Fit Body Bootcamp, speaking engagements and his upcoming new book, Man Up. He emphasizes that we are all much stronger than we think and it’s up to us to get resourceful and “man up,” and become the person you’re meant to be.   This is an information-filled episode sure to inspire you to up-level your game and take action today! I can’t wait to hear your takeaways! --      Question Highlights: What has brought you to what you’re doing now? Hearing your dad’s why, did it fuel or shift your why? What do you think is the difference between you, who takes a problem and runs with it, and those who sit in it and see it as their reason why they can’t? What is something you ask yourself to get a new answer? Is there a problem you’re excited to tackle? Do you still have to seek resistance to get stronger or does your life offer you enough? For you as a business person, how did you train that muscle to run straight toward difficult conversations? What are some of your non-negotiables? What do you tell people who say, “I don’t know how” or “I can’t?” What do you think are the three biggest traits of a leader? Do you think it’s important to have a target number with your goals?   In This Episode We Talk about: Embracing the pain Why breakthroughs come when it’s uncomfortable Why Bedros runs toward pain and challenges What it was like when Bedros’ family escaped Armenia/Soviet Union The adaptability of the human psyche Why Bedros is so passionate about helping children-based charities and causes The “immigrant edge” How Bedros made it easier to open Fit Body Bootcamp fitness franchises The importance of feedback in terms of growth Bedros’ non-negotiables Resourcefulness Bedros’ three biggest traits of a leader Riding the wave of fear Bedros’ million-dollar mistake And so much more…   Quotes “The more adversities I face, the better my life becomes when I get to the other side of that adversity.”   “If you have a reason why that’s big enough, when the pain and adversity comes, your reason why will pull you through.”   “There are plenty of problems, you just have to be the solution.”   “Any time there’s a big shift in your life, positive or negative, you’re going to have more problems. Who’s going to be the solution?”   “It’s time to human up.”   “Embrace the suck and grow.”   -- Bedros Keuilian is a best-selling author, speaker, and business consultant.

Since then she’s published several other books and her newest book, Like She Owns the Place releases July 10 (see Resources to get your copy and buy one for a friend, too!).   Cara shares vulnerably and is super transparent about the unglamorous side of business. She does this in an effort to show other women what it really looks like when things fall apart and how we can shift our perspectives, find the good and remember who we were before things fell apart.   This is such an empowering, feel-good episode and I can’t wait for you to enjoy it…perhaps with a glass of champagne (not if you’re driving!). ;-)   --   Questions Asked in This Episode: Can you tell us a little bit about what you’re doing right now and what sparked that passion? How do you feel about resourcefulness and what’s a huge block around not having the skills, not knowing how etc.?

My interview with Heather Askisone and Timmi Jandro, the founders of Energy Muse, was a conversation that was meant to happen. In recent years, I’ve become super intrigued with the use of crystals and it was incredible to dive deeper, learn some new things and also receive validation on some crazy coincidences in my life that involved crystals.   Best friends since the 1st grade, Heather and Timmi weren’t always interested in crystals. In fact, both were in different careers (business and high-end real estate) up until they founded Energy Muse 17 hears ago. With their combined experience of healing and business, they are now taking the woo-woo out of crystals and empowering people to make change starting today.   I know there will be some skeptics out there, but I have a feeling they’ll feel differently after listening. It’s all about good energy! I highly recommend taking their crystal test on their site to see which stones you’re drawn to – they may just help you through your next challenge. (And if you feel called to do so, I would love it if you shared which ones you chose and what they mean!)   --      Question Highlights: How did you both start out on this journey? Who do you typically give the amethyst stone to? When did you realize there was something there for you with crystals? What made you dive deeper? Do you keep different crystals throughout your house or through different times? What was the main reason you decided to write your book, Crystal Muse? How does energy alignment with the moon relate to crystals? Do you have any rituals in your book that help people feel grounded or rooted when they’re at a tipping point? What is the most exciting thing that’s coming up for you with your book release?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Heather and Timmi first met and their backgrounds before founding Energy Muse How energies/stones resonate with people differently The innocence of picking a crystal for the first time The shift that took place when Heather gave Timmi a prosperity necklace How crystals can help us feel and serve as a reminder to slow down Energy Muse’s internal challenge to pick one stone and work with it for 21 days Their new book, Crystal Muse, and why it’s a book of secrets that offers rituals done in 11 minutes or less to render results Emotional moon in Scorpio Why humans are looking to reconnect with each other more than ever What it means to “energetically cut the cord” And so much more…   Quotes “When you feel, you start healing.”   “The more I stopped and slowed down, the more my life moved forward.”   “There are so many juicy concepts and conversations that one stone can help you evolve into and unearth.”   “The beauty of finding out who you are and where you are at that time is powerful.”   “The more we plug into the light right now, the more we are going to be able to get out of the chaos and confusion.”   “We, the people, are the bridge between the worlds – the earth and the sky.”   “You’re going to feel the pain, but it doesn’t have to last forever.”   -- Having known one another since the age of six, Energy Muse co-founders, Heather Askinosie and Timmi Jandro are each other’s yin to their yang. Heather Askinosie is a leading influencer on the power of crystals, Feng Shui, and holistic healing. For over 25 years, she has had the privilege of studying with the best healers from all over the world, who have passed down ancient teachings on how to utilize energy technology.

I am utterly fascinated at the diverse background of today’s guest and fellow podcaster, Luke Storey. With a journey that began as a high school dropout, Luke has hit career stops along the way as a musician, fashion stylist and now health and wellness podcaster. I honestly wish we would have had more time to delve into each avenue of his journey, but we were able to touch on so many inspiring topics the led him through each one.   A self-professed work in progress, I love that Luke focuses on staying teachable. He’s not afraid to examine each aspect of his life to find out what’s in alignment and what isn’t in order to live in his highest purpose day in and day out. Luke has committed to maintaining a balance of talent and passion, but that often means keeping his ego in check.   Tune in to hear how Luke manages to keep just the right level of humility without sacrificing his gifts or self-worth – all while staying true to who he is. This was such an insightful episode – I cannot wait to hear what you took away from it, too!   --      Question Highlights: What brought you to do what you’re doing now? What did the journey feel like when you discovered that living in your potential soothes you? What were some of the biggest things you pulled from each of your career stops? What does it look like, on a daily basis, when you’re working through something while also being humble and still being fully you? How can you practice being in a relationship when you’re not in a relationship? What are you most excited about?   In This Episode We Talk about: Luke’s diverse background in music, fashion, speaking, health and wellness and how it led him to the present moment The balance of talent and passion How Luke got his start in fashion styling Living in different purposes throughout one’s life The need for significance and one’s interpretation of humility Integrating the ego with one’s endeavors and work Not attaching worth to one’s gifts The importance of staying teachable The pursuit of pleasure How Luke is getting clear on who he is and what he has to offer Relationships – romantic and platonic Gratitude work And so much more…   Quotes “Once you figure any area of your life out and get some help, the only key to true fulfillment is passing that on to other people and living a life of service.”   “It’s owning that I’ve worked my ass off and learned a lot, but there’s also plenty left to learn.”   “Don’t believe everything you think.”   “Build a relationship with whatever it is that makes your heart beat all day, every day.”   -- Luke Storey is a former celebrity fashion stylist and entrepreneur, public speaker, podcaster, and lifestyle design coach who has spent the past 21 years relentlessly searching the world over to design the ultimate lifestyle through his extensive, personal research and development.

Have you ever had one of those conversations that happened right when you needed it? Well, let’s just say that my chat with today’s guest, Sarah Centrella, was divinely timed. I always say that my podcast was created so I could selfishly get advice for myself, and this episode delivered.   About 10 years ago, Sarah was a stay-at-home mom, married to her high school sweetheart with 3 kids. She thought she and her husband were building this picture-perfect life, but the market turned and she discovered her husband was cheating on her. It was in this moment, broke and divorced, that her life as she knew it changed.   As one could expect, Sarah was shell-shocked. But when the dust settled a bit, she came to the realization that she was in control and had the power to decide who she was going to be. An avid fan of Oprah (who isn’t?), she decided to try a vision board after seeing it on her show. Little did Sarah know that 1.5 years later, her vision board would come to life.   Realizing that it was no coincidence that her vision board and life matched, she created another and watched those things come to fruition as well. Seeing a trend, Sarah interviewed several people to hear their success stories and discovered that there were eight common steps – regardless of the highs and lows – between all of them.   Today, Sarah uses this 8-step plan to help everyone – whether it’s a live coaching appearance or in her book, Hustle Believe Receive – create and manifest the life of their dreams. She encourages action on a daily basis to keep moving that needle toward your end goal/vision.   I loved our talk so much as it’s a great reminder to myself that no one is perfect and we all question our path and struggle from time to time. If you’re frustrated with where you’re at with your dreams, be sure to listen to get an instant pick-me-up! Enjoy!       --      Question Highlights: Where did your story begin? What did the journey look like following that sliver of hope? How did you create your vision board, what were the tools around it and how did you use it? What made your vision board life happen? Do you do something daily to get into that mindset? Do you find that some people are afraid to dream or think bigger when it comes to vision boards? Can you share what the 8-Step manifestation process looks like? Where does step 6 (Do it – Hustle) come from? What is the “Live it” step about?   In This Episode We Talk about: Where Sarah’s story started What moment marked the end of her life as she knew it When and how Sarah came to create her first vision board How Sarah brought her vision board to life Why we must focus on the life (not the things) we want The importance of linking feelings to the images on your vision boards Using Pinterest to find your vision board images Getting present and resetting when necessary Making your vision so clear that you never give up The 8 steps to create and manifest your dreams “Throwing spaghetti at the wall” to see what sticks/works Sarah’s book Hustle Believe Receive And so much more…   Quotes “I had to decide who I was going to be.”   “It can get better; it’s in my control.”   “I have always focused on experiences, not things.”   “If you don’t have a clear vision of where you want to go and if you’re not excited, at the very first obstacle you’ll say, ‘peace!’”   “The hustle is what you do on a daily basis.”   “Stop blocking and manifest.”   “There will always be a next level in your journey.”   “If you stop bitching, your life will change.”   --   Best-Selling Author | Master Coach  Vision Board & Manifesting Expert Sarah Centrella is the author of the #1 best-selling self-help book Hustle Believe Receive An 8 Step Plan to Changing Your Life and Living Your Dream. Centrella is known as the premier vision board expert and original Manifesting Gangsta!

I am in awe when it comes to the resilience of the human spirit and body, and today’s guest, Tara Mackey, just reaffirms my belief. With a tumultuous childhood that lead to a drug prescription at the young age of 13 subsequent prescriptions thereafter, it’s not surprising that Tara once came close to ending her own life. However, seven years ago, she finally realized that the help she sought didn’t come in an orange bottle or from the people who she’d allowed into her life. She knew the drugs (and diagnoses) were holding her back and as a result, she quit all 14 drugs cold-turkey (she doesn’t advise this method) and hasn’t looked back since.   Tara now takes pride in educating others to get off drugs and even more in helping people recognize what’s holding them back and then guiding them to create new habits that propel them forward. I resonate so deeply with Tara’s message as she also truly believes that we all are put on this planet with a purpose. And once we’re able to pinpoint the habits that are holding us back we can then create replacement habits and finally tap into our own intuition and purpose. Tara’s new book, “WILD Habits,” even walks you through the steps to do just that.   I think everyone will relate on some level to this episode and I can’t wait to hear all of the takeaways from this episode and her soon-to-be-released book.   --      Question Highlights: What do you do now and how did you get started on that path? At what point did your intuition start talking to you and tell you to do something different? What were some of the most influential experiences in your life that got you to those moments? Can you explain what you mean when you say “numb?” What do you share with people around what it really looks like when you step into the journey of your purpose? Growing up, were there influences in your life that sparked a feeling of purpose and reminded you of who you were? What were some of your labels and how did you get over them? Do you have any labels now that have come with success that hold you up to some expectation? How do we change out our habits and what does that look like? How do we begin to make the space to follow the WILD Method steps? What was your focus for energy in your book? Do you believe everyone on the planet has a purpose?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Tara got off drugs and now helps educate people to do the same How Tara helps people recognize what’s holding them back and then create new habits that propel them forward Why harmful habits are all distractions from your true purpose The importance of recognizing what you’re using to numb out Labels How drugs impact your labels and your behavior Why it’s OK to change and grow all the time Tara’s WILD Method Listening to your intuition The mind/body connection The importance of movement What toxicity in all forms looks like Why it’s important to step away from judgment and criticism How social media distracts us from our true purpose Figuring out what to put your energy toward And so much more…   Quotes “I wanted help but help hadn’t come in the form of orange bottles or the people that I had let in.”   “We numb because we’re afraid of living up to our full potential.”   “Focus on adding up the moments that bring us joy because that brings us closer to who we truly are.”   “People will know you as whatever you do in that moment.”   “It’s not weird that you’re changing and growing all the time.”   “If you’re not moving your body other things get stagnant.”   “Become more conscious of why you’re doing what you’re doing.”   --   Tara Mackey is the best-selling author of Cured by Nature, a soul singer and global motivational speaker. She is the Founder and CEO of The Organic Life, recognized as one of the Healthiest Companies of the Year. Tara has been honored as Woman of the Year and named one of San Diego’s Most Admired CEOs of 2017. Mackey travels the world as an activist, inspiring people to make bold and brave moves, take actions to live their dreams and create a more sustainable and empowered world.   Her next book, WILD Habits: Unlock Your Mind, Improve Your Health and Release Your True Power (SelectBooks, Inc. May 8, 2018) shares all of the specific mental practices and natural home remedies Tara uses in her own life for a healthy spirit, mind, and body.   Tara studied biology and worked as an MLT at Cornell before moving to California in 2011 to pursue her passions in health, acting and music. Tara began her blog and company, The Organic Life, in 2012 to share her wellness journey. Mackey’s bohemian spirit, talent and drive has generated a booming, engaged and inspired following. After receiving inquiries from her devoted followers for her picks for organic and healthy skincare products, Tara launched Genetix in November 2017.   Tara’s work, journey and life has been featured by Forbes, Teen Vogue, Glamour Magazine, Yoga Digest, Byrdie, Readers Digest, Woman’s Day, ABC, Fox, The CW, PIX, MSN, Mental Floss, San Diego Business Journal, Essence Magazine, Travel & Leisure Magazine, Well + Good, Livestrong, Brides Magazine and many more.

Take a peek at Mel Wells’ Instagram feed and you’ll see instantly why I love talking with her and following her amazing journey of self-love. As an actress at 18 on a UK soap opera, Mel was exposed early on to the pressures of the performing arts world and keeping a “thin” figure. This pressure eventually led to eating disorder behavior and she remained in that self-described black hole for seven years.   Shortly after that time, she left that world, rediscovered her self-worth and rewrote her mindset. She now helps other women get out of the diet culture and change their relationship with food and their bodies. Because as Mel describes, by healing our relationships with food we can also change our relationships with our souls.   As a person who’s struggled with my relationship with food and my body, I related on all fronts of Mel’s messages. There really is a parallel between healing that relationship and using that same knowledge in all areas of your life. It ultimately comes down to loving yourself and giving yourself freedom. This was such a heartfelt conversation and I can’t wait to hear what you resonated with the most.   --      Question Highlights: What got you started on your path? What was it that finally broke the cycle for you? What do you tell someone who feels stuck? How do you calm those fight or flight thoughts? When you get psychological cravings what can you do? What does it actually look like when you support other women? What does being authentic mean for you in your life? What are some tools you’re relying on to get you through your recent move? What journey do you want to take women on at your Self Love Summit? Did you have any limiting beliefs around creating relationships with women? Tell me about your new book, Hungry for More.   In This Episode We Talk about: How Mel healed her relationship with food and her body (and soul) Connecting to your bigger vision Choosing movement that feels good and isn’t a punishment Trusting your body and that it wants you to live a healthy life What to do when you get psychological cravings – that aren’t hunger related Pursuing a fulfilled life Being in integrity with your values Letting go of old beliefs and obtaining new ones The inevitability of change and growth Mel’s TedXTalk and how she reframed her disappointment when they couldn’t publish it online due to audio difficulties The importance of sharing the things that go wrong And so much more…   Quotes “When you’re able to trust your body’s natural intuition it helps you tune in with your soul’s intuition.”   “If we want to feel free, then freedom is what we have to choose.”   “Choosing more control won’t get you more freedom.”   “The more I love myself, the more I’m able to lift other women up and genuinely mean it from the heart.”   “Be willing to take the masks off and just be completely comfortable with who you are and where you’re at.” --   Mel Wells is a Certified Health Coach, Eating Psychology Coach, International Speaker and Bestselling Author of widely acclaimed, ‘The Goddess Revolution: Make Peace With Food, Love Your Body and Reclaim Your Life’, hailed by OK! magazine, 'the new body bible for women'. She is Hay House’s youngest author and is a leading women’s expert in her field. Mel dedicates her time to helping women worldwide ditch dieting for good, make peace with food and love their healthy bodies. Mel coaches’ women through her popular online Academy, and luxury Goddess Retreats held in Bali, Thailand and the UK.   Mel empowers women to stop fad diets and challenges their entire belief system around food and their bodies, by working on the relationship they have with themselves.   Mel has been featured in Forbes Under 30, Women's Health, Cosmopolitan, The Independent and has been voted No. 1 Young Female Entrepreneur to Watch in the UK by About Time Magazine. She made her TEDx debut in Switzerland last December.   Her next book, “Hungry For More,” encourages women to nourish their soul cravings, feed their dreams and live truly fulfilled lives. “Hungry For More”, published by Hay House is due for release Summer 2018.

A few months ago, I had the honor of being a guest on Cathy Heller’s podcast, Don’t Keep Your Day Job, and I am thrilled that I get to have her on mine. Not only could I talk to her for hours and hours, but she has an incredible story that I know so many of you will resonate with.  From early on, Cathy knew she was meant for more and sought to find her purpose in the world (she admits there were multiple attempts). She changed her major to World Religions to truly find out if there was “more,” and ended up taking a life-changing three-year trip to Jerusalem. After returning, Cathy moved to L.A. to see if she could make a career out of her love for singing and music. It took a lot of work, but she eventually landed a record deal. Unfortunately, her record label dropped her before it even had a chance to release. Feeling defeated at first, she bailed on the music and landed herself other “practical” jobs ranging from real estate and casting to floral and interior design. None of these fulfilled her though and she set out determined to find other ways to make money singing and songwriting – and help others at the same time.   Fast-forward to today and you’ve likely heard Cathy’s songs on your favorite TV shows, ads and more. She cracked the code to making money while fulfilling her purpose and now helps others do the same. In the past year, Cathy has taken it to another level as well by creating her podcast, which takes her knowledge and easily parallels it to anyone else’s passion project.   Cathy keeps it real and is the first to say that no one wants to see perfect – they want authenticity. Once you listen, I know you’ll agree. Tune in to hear all the goodness Cathy shares with us. I know that you’ll wrap up your listening session feeling just a little lighter and like you’re one small step closer to stepping into your purpose.   --      Question Highlights: Can you tell us a bit about your background and your journey that led you to where you are now? What pulled you to keep going through the various stage of your career/life? How do we get people involved and excited? Outreach leads to some of the same questions when it comes to content too, right? What do you say to someone who struggles with perfection?   In This Episode We Talk about: Cathy’s life and career journey that led her to where she is today The many attempts made by Cathy to find her purpose – record deals, real estate, interior design etc. The online course Cathy created to teach others how to license their songs to TV and film How Cathy transitioned her knowledge to the podcast platform The difference between a hobby and business Finding your audience and who you’re creating things for How you can make a living by doing four specific things Why outreach and the value you can add is important Creating content Authenticity Why we must be willing to be uncomfortable Consistency and showing up And so much more…   Quotes “The mind likes to suffer, but I don’t need to.”   “The opposite of depression is purpose.”   “Success without meaning or fulfillment is an ultimate failing.”   “What makes any business works is radical empathy.”   “Vulnerability is the most powerful tool anyone has.”   “Wherever you are, there’s something you have that you can help somebody with.”   “We are all in beta – no one has it together.”   “Be willing to be a mess and do it anyway.” --   Cathy Heller is a fire hose of inspiration. She’s the host of the popular podcast, Don’t Keep Your Day Job, and was recently given the No. 1 spot on iTunes show recommendation list for the New Year. Each week, Cathy encourages thousands and thousands of listeners to find more purpose in their life and get paid to do what they love full time. She started out as a singer/songwriter and found success licensing her music to TV, film and ads. Quickly she became a stand-out in her field and was featured in magazines like Billboard, Variety and the LA Weekly. She started teaching online courses to artists which were quite successful and she’s been asked to speak at Podcast Movement, Social Media Worldwide, UCLA, Berklee School of Music, The Grammy Museum and the Billboard Film/TV Conference.   Since starting her podcast, Cathy’s show has been mentioned in the NY Times and Inc. Magazine’s “Top 9 podcasts.” She’s been featured several times by Apple and her fans are resonating with how genuine she is. Throughout the show, she has interviewed creative entrepreneurs like designer Jonathan Adler, make-up artist Bobbi Brown, dancer Mandy Moore, fashionista Tamara Mellon, novelist Emily Giffin and Gretchen Rubin to name a few. Cathy’s girl-next-door approach and out-of-the-box hustling style is helping so many people feel hopeful and excited about what lies ahead. Cathy often says “purpose is the opposite of depression,” and she truly helps lift people to be the happiest version of themselves.

As some of you know, my husband and I are huge fans of ballroom dancing, so it’s only natural that we’re huge fans of Dancing with the Stars’ Val Chmerkovskiy. After spending time with him earlier this year in Guatemala with Pencils of Promise, I just knew I needed to have him on the show to share more about his story and why making an impact is so important.   Born in Ukraine, at age 8, he and his family immigrated to Brooklyn, NY. As you can imagine it was a challenging transition but his parents inspired him to meet challenges by never backing away from theirs. To help occupy him and his brother’s time, they were enrolled in both violin and later on ballroom dancing. This soon became a passion for the whole family. In addition to Val and his brother Maks’ successful dance careers, they have since opened 14 other dance studios.   I cannot wait for you to hear Val’s inspiring story. Not only is he so passionate about his own life and what he does, he also hopes to inspire others to do the same. Tune in to hear how’s he connecting with others to do just that and how he’s making an impact in the world today.    --      Question Highlights: What did your life look like growing up and where did your passion for what you do now come from? What is most exciting in your life right now? Was not giving up or quitting a mindset that you were taught growing up? What do you think it takes to be a good leader/mentor? What have you learned from being on your 50-city tour? Do you still get nervous before you perform?   In This Episode We Talk about: Why Val is so inspired by his parents How Val and his brother got into dance (and violin) Val’s (and his parents’) entrepreneurial spirit Why it’s essential to have pride without the ego Why mentorship is important to Val Forming connections and making an impact with others Val’s 50-city tour Why Val loves seeing others who are passionate about what they do And much more…   Quotes How can I possibly dwell in my own success without having the energy of wanting to pass it forward and reciprocate?”   “A blessing isn’t realized until it’s passed forward.”   “I feel most fulfilled when I have a purpose.”   “Trust your track record.”   “Be nervous because you care, but don’t sell yourself short.” --   Valentin “Val” Chmerkovskiy was born in Odessa, Ukraine to an engineer mother and marine merchant father. At 8 years old, Val’s family immigrated to Brooklyn, NY as refugees seeking asylum from the corrupt ex-communist nation. It was in a small Eastern European community in South Brooklyn where Val first picked up ballroom dancing as an after school activity that his parents hoped would keep him out of trouble. Soon after, Val found another passion in playing the violin, further easing the nerves of his parents as the arts kept their curious son off the South Brooklyn streets. Although he resisted the temptation of Hollywood for a few years, in 2011 Val eventually joined his brother Maks as a member of the cast of professional dancers on Dancing with the Stars for its 13th installment. The 14-time US National Champion and two-time World Dance Champion quickly rose to stardom, becoming a fan-favorite for his impeccable performances and unique demeanor. Val won his first Dancing with the Stars Mirrorball Trophy with partner Rumer Willis during the ten-year anniversary season of the show. He later took home his second title in 2016 while partnered with Olympic Gold Medalist Laurie Hernandez. Most recently, Val was partnered with Paralympic swimmer Victoria Arlen, making it all the way to the semi-finals for which he choreographed a dance that brought a wheelchair into the world famous DWTS Ballroom for the first time. Val is the first and only American to ever win the IDSF Junior and Youth World Championship, along with the prestigious British “Blackpool” Open, the German Open and the Asian Championships in Shenzhen, China. After overseeing the biggest youth ballroom dance program in the US, the Rising Stars Dance Academy, Val co-founded Dance With Me, one of the nation’s leading social dance studios, where he also lends his expertise as Art Director. Longing to continue his work with kids, Val implemented the Dance With Me Juniors program with the mission of keeping kids active, healthy, and creative. Val supports numerous educational organizations and children’s charities, including the Children’s Hospital of LA and Pencils of Promise, for which he helped build two schools in Ghana using the funds he raised for the organization. He also spent the last two years mentoring kids at the KIPP Scholar Academy in South Los Angeles and brought his most improved mentees along to live tapings of Dancing with the Stars to inspire them to continue working hard. As a classically trained violinist, Val has performed at Carnegie Hall and at Lincoln Center as a concertmaster for the ISO Youth Orchestra. He is fluent in English and Russian. Val recently finished writing his first memoir titled “I’ll Never Change my Name,” set to be released in March 2018.

I’ve been a big fan and follower of today’s guest and author Scott Stabile, for a while now. After losing his parents tragically at the age of 14, he felt that he had dealt with the loss in the years after – he did well in school, had a lot of friends, but he kept his parents’ death a secret to all those who didn’t know.   It wasn’t until he was in his 20s that Scott jumped into personal development and realized that he never really faced his loss or dealt with the wide range of emotions that were involved. He had built a wall around himself to keep out the dark, but because we can’t be selective about what we let in, he blocked out so much of the light, too.   Today, since learning to move through his emotions/energy, Scott has made it his mission to use love as his guiding force in life and serve the world with the power of love and positivity. On every level, he strives to operate from the energy of love, kindness and compassion. Can you imagine if the entire world did this? Scott believes we must focus on showing up in our own truth and then aligning ourselves in love.   I cannot thank Scott enough for being so open and honest and willing to share so much of his heart with us today. It has definitely further engrained in me to originate everything I do in love to obtain the best outcome. And if you love this, you’ll really want to check out his book, “Big Love.”   --      Question Highlights: Where did your story start? What did it look like when your wall was up? What was the turning point? What did the space look like when you had to go back and heal, forgive and let go of the shame? Is there something else you do to help move your energy/emotions through? What was the moment that helped you see what you needed to let go? How do we show up with an “open” intention? What is something you do when neediness (or another emotion) comes up again? Why did you write “Big Love?”   In This Episode We Talk about: Scott’s tragic loss of his parents at age 14 and how it affected him Getting honest with your feelings and sitting in the uncomfortable The energy and discovery that comes with writing The power of conversations to help move energy/emotions through The importance of self-care How breathing in a conscious way can unlock pockets of darkness Showing up in your truth and having an awareness of how you’re showing up in the world The power of intention, acceptance and flexibility Self-love – becoming aware of it and making it a practice Why all emotions are important The beauty in sharing our hardships, struggles and idiosyncrasies with others And so much more…   Quotes:   “Love is the guiding force in my life.”   “Unless we’re honest about what we’re experiencing in the world and unless we’re willing to sit in the uncomfortable feelings and feel, there is no potential for healing.”   “When you’re ready to grow and heal, and you’re really open to looking at yourself and your experience honestly, life is going to provide ample opportunity for you to do so.”   “When I’m taking care of myself, I feel more taken care of by the world.”   “When we’re willing to take responsibility for how we’re showing up in the world, the possibilities for growth are endless.”   “We can be clear on our intentions, but that doesn’t always mean that we’re going to get what we want. And it certainly doesn’t mean that we’re going to get what we want in the way we want to receive it.”   “Wherever we’re putting our energy toward avoiding feeling, we’re giving all of our energy toward that feeling.”   “What does love invite me to do in this moment?”   “Go within. Go to love. Love is the key to joy.”   -- Scott Stabile is the author of Big Love. His inspirational posts and videos have attracted a huge and devoted social media following, including over 350K Facebook fans and counting. A regular contributor to the Huffington Post, he lives in Michigan and conducts personal empowerment workshops around the world. Visit him online at http://www.scottstabile.com.

You know how you meet someone and you instantly feel a soul connection? That’s exactly what it felt like when I heard today’s guest, Sheri Salata, speak at an AWE (Amazing Women Entrepreneurs) event about a year ago. I loved her energy and identified with her when she began speaking, and I then had the honor of meeting her briefly. Needless to say, I’d been dying to interview her ever since and was thrilled when were finally able to sit down and chat – in person!   Sheri is funny, successful and soulful – a powerful trifecta if I ever heard of one. With a 21-year career with The Oprah Winfrey Show, she admittedly had the dreamy career, but she realized she didn’t have the dreamy life. And she came to discover that it was because she forgot how to dream and use happiness (not misery) as her compass.   As Sheri and her friend’s podcast, “This is Fifty,” suggests, it’s never too late to change your story, find happiness and follow your dreams – no matter what your age is.   This was one of the fastest hours of my life and I know this episode will fly for you too. It’s my hope that you soak in every moment of Sheri’s dreamy goodness and put on your magical glasses to see the miracles that surround us all.   --      Question Highlights: What did it feel like when you knew there was something else? How did you start to calibrate your “compass?” What do you tell women who think it’s too late or that their dreams have passed? What is a story you feel you’re working through right now?

Oh my goodness, today’s episode with life coach and author, Lauren Zander, rocked my world! I had so many self-realizations during our conversation, I had to remind myself that it wasn’t a coaching session for me!   With a degree in environmental studies, Lauren took a job in the field right after college. But as time went on she realized that while she loved the cause, she was unhappy with the actual work. From there, she pivoted into the only self-help company she knew of and worked there for seven years until she ran out “screaming” and started her own personal coaching business.   Fast-forward to today and Lauren’s coaching company, The Handel Group, runs four different divisions dedicated to helping individuals and businesses alike create cultures that promote happiness and allow everyone to excel. Almost nothing is off limits when her and her teams deep-dive into their clients’ worlds to figure out what the problems are and what needs to change or be fixed.   I have a feeling that you’re going to run out and grab Lauren’s book or her coaching programs because I know it made me want to! She promotes the truth and she speaks nothing but – and it’s just so refreshing. Enjoy!   --      Question Highlights: Where do shifts begin for people? How do you get a smaller culture not to be afraid to share how they feel? What’s something we can do to shift into a powerful mindset? What are some of your favorite ways to connect people? What are you most excited about with your book, Maybe It’s You? Have you been in front of an issue that you felt was so big you didn’t want to begin? How do we know when it’s time for a person to not be in our lives? What recharges you? Is there anything in your life that feels like it needs completion? Is there something you need to release and care less about in order to care more about where you’re going? What inspires you? Do you have favorite books?   In This Episode We Talk about: Lauren’s transition from environmental studies to self-help and coaching The many different modalities of Lauren’s company, the Handel Group How to help people feel more comfortable in smaller groups When leaders don’t lead How everyone has the ability to change a culture and be a leader Lauren’s book, “Maybe It’s You” How people ignore their self-dialogue and how it affects them Why telling the truth is the easiest and best thing to do The things you tolerate in people and what keeps them around in your life The promises Lauren keeps with her co-workers And so much more…   Quotes:   “Self-discovery is actually the way to make a lot more money and be happy.”   “Anyone can change a culture.”   “Anyone can wake up and decide to be a leader.”   “Truth-telling is not that complicated.”   “Stop thinking you need to lie.”   -- Lauren Handel Zander is the Co-Founder and Chairwoman of Handel Group®, an international corporate consulting and life coaching company.

I’ve been so eager to connect with today’s guest, entrepreneur, world-traveler and speaker, Regan Hillyer, ever since we briefly chatted at an event a few months ago. And I’m thrilled that dreams come true!   Originally from New Zealand, Regan started out on the path to become an architect, but after a fateful visualization exercise, the idea of becoming an architect left her feeling sick to her stomach, and she knew at her core it wasn’t her truth.   After sharing this realization with her father, she was crystal clear on what she didn’t want, but had no clue what was on the other side of that. That’s when she threw herself into personal development. The powerful shifts came a couple years into this journey, so much so that people started asking her how she did it and she got her first experience as a “coach.”   Since that time, Regan has helped thousands of other men and women in their self-development journeys find their truths, too. Whether it’s financial or personal, she coaches others to be true to who they are and help them build six- and seven-figure businesses in the process.   I could have talked on and on and with Regan – I was soaking it all up! She offers so much knowledge and even talks about her different rituals that help her stay aligned with her goals and mission. If you’re looking to gain more clarity around your goals, this episode is a great kickstart! Enjoy!   --      Question Highlights: What first step would you suggest to a person who feels stuck? What is something you do right now to give yourself space and time? In regard to self-trust, what does it feel like and how do you know it’s time to leap? Can you explain what personal abundance is to you? What are some things you had to call into your life when you became financially abundant? What is something you want to make sure you’ve accomplished by the end of your life? What is something you’re working through or something that is scaring you right now? What makes you feel most like you? Do you have any rituals around speaking that help you step in? What’s the best process for putting yourself out there in the beginning? What did it look like when you had to start setting boundaries – both in business and relationships? What are some great goal-setting tips for the New Year? What’s a message you want all people to know?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Regan got into self-development and made a successful career out of it Tuning in and listening to your feelings and trusting your gut if something feels wrong The need for evolution and making ongoing adjustments to stay aligned with your larger vision and truth Why personal and financial abundance require both external and internal work The internal things Regan does to manifest financial abundance The need for both a pain and pleasure motivator when working to achieve your goals Regan’s rituals that help her get into speaking mode The importance of choosing to be yourself in all situations and be YOU. Staying completely connected and in faith through the entire day The benefits of having mentors and coaches Borrowing belief until you find your own And so much more…   Quotes:   “Your gut always knows.”   “You don’t get in life what you do; you get in life who you are and who you choose to be.”   “You can’t manifest the next level of where you’re going from a place of frustration, negativity or criticism.”                                                         “People manifest what they tolerate.”   “Listen to your truth, follow your gut and connect from that place.”   -- Regan Hillyer is a Serial Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Mindset Coach and Global Speaker.

A lot has changed in the past couple years since Peta Kelly was last a guest on Earn Your Happy. She’s had a baby, written a book (more on that later) and created multiple businesses. And no matter what happens in her life, I love how she always goes in flow taking everything that comes her way in stride.   Peta has found that this state of flow has been necessary to balance motherhood, business and writing a book. Tune in to hear what Peta’s book-writing process looked like, what she still struggles with and how she hopes to help millennials discover the new way to live, lead, earn and give. --      Questions Asked in This Episode: What are you doing to change some of the mantras you’ve heard about motherhood? How do you get through challenging moments? What does your book-writing process look like from beginning to end? What is your book about? What does it actually look like when we make that conscious decision to upgrade our vibration? What is something you do to create “play” time for yourself? Is there something that you once suppressed, but now you’re writing your own story about it? What do you do when you have a message you want to say, but you’re having second thoughts? What are you most excited about with your book?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Peta had to change different stories when going into motherhood Why it’s essential to always focus on the beautiful, new and creative How Peta used her pregnancy as fuel for writing her book What Peta’s book-writing process looked like Why Mother Earth wants us to upgrade our vibration Why we must ditch the shame about feeling good The importance of play and why we must interlace it with everything Tapping into masculine and feminine energies Dressing for your soul Speaking your truth – when it’s a yes and when it’s a no And so much more…   Quotes:   “My vision requires that I’m thriving.”   “Play is not a distraction, it’s part of our work ethic.”   “Circulate your energy.”   “Shake your life up so you can get rid of energy and raise up.”   “Get on Mother Earth’s postcode.”   --   Peta Kelly's most favourite title is HUMAN AF.

She dropped being a PhD science nerd at the age of 22 and went on the pursuit of that ‘thing’ that was calling her higher. That's when she found her first business pursuit in network marketing and She became a 7 figure a year earner in Isagenix by the age of 26. Her network marketing journey led her to her bigger, more global soul work and now she’s building a global enterprise, Jeaniius – a global hub of nakedly brilliant people, mobilized to create change for our planet through conscious enterprise and magical collaborations.   Peta teaches the new way to live, lead, earn and give and what excites her the most is bringing her brilliant, badass generation together as one team and one family so that we can gift our planet and our kiddies, an environment where they can thrive. Peta is an angel gifter and a silent investor, and thrives on expanding the cycle of abundance and contribution, especially when it allows young people to kick ass in their endeavors. A millennial with a love of millennials, Peta speaks on global stages, barefoot, to tens of thousands of people, and to millions through her various platforms, sharing visionary messages of conscious living to move hearts and minds to what’s possible.   Self-described as an alien, a “vessel” for what needs to flow through her, Peta is the creator of The New Way Live, Jeaniius and The Supercharged and she’s got her first book on the way in early 2018.

One of my favorite (and most frequent) guests, Gabby Bernstein is back, and I know you’re all just as thrilled as I am. We even joked that she should be a co-host (you never know, right?). Today we’re talking about judgment, and I personally couldn’t agree more with the importance of talking about this topic. Judgment is the root of so many problems and whether we’re judging others or ourselves, it’s so bad that we barely realize we’re doing it.   Believing that deep down we are all loving, kind and compassionate people, Gabby felt called to write her newest book, Judgment Detox, in an effort to explain how judgment separates us from our true nature and instead makes us feel guilty, which in turn makes us judge more, which again makes us feel guilty and so on – the judgment cycle.   Fortunately, she has a six-step process that is virtually guaranteed to help us all out and it could not come at a better time for the entire world. Don’t miss out on this enlightening episode as she gives us a few sneak peeks of the wisdom in her latest book as well as a look into her creative process, asking for help and her hopes for a baby in 2018. I can’t wait for you to hear (and share) this beautiful conversation with others!   --      Questions Asked in This Episode: Can you share why you wrote Judgment Detox and what it is? Was judgment something that kept coming up for you so much that you wrote the book? When there’s an addiction to something, what do you think it’s serving and how do we interrupt the pattern? What creative process do you use that honors the messages you write about? How do you set up each of your writing sessions, and what rituals do you do beforehand? How did you discover your writing strengths and weaknesses? What’s one of the biggest boundaries you’ve had to set up or reinforce? What does your self-talk look like when you walk away from stress? Have you missed out on anything from implementing this boundary? How do you enjoy the process when there are so many new opportunities coming your way? What advice would you give someone who's ready to step out into their goals and dreams, but has fear around putting themselves out there? What has been one of the biggest things you’ve implemented in 2017 that has helped you the most? What is the best advice you feel you’ve ever gotten? What is your biggest hope for Judgment Detox?   In This Episode We Talk about: Why Gabby wrote Judgment Detox How the book is designed to help change your beliefs that hold you back with her six-step process Why judgment is the root cause of all of our problems Gabby’s definition of the “judgment cycle” What Gabby’s healing with her Judgment Detox process and what she’s still working on The wounds that lie beneath judgment The Emotion Freedom Technique (tapping) How Gabby writes to heal The importance of finding what makes you feel safe Making it a priority to hire help sooner than later Hiring people for their energy, not necessarily their experience The timing of pregnancy and babies And so much more…   Quotes: “Judgment is such a huge separation from our spiritual connection and our alignment to a higher power.”   “When we judge we separate from love.”   “Witness your judgment without judgment.”   “I don’t believe in my judgment anymore.”   “I’m choosing to be happy rather than right.”   “Ask for what you want in 2018.”   “The more creative I am, the less space there is for judgment.”   “Change the way you look at things.”     -- Gabrielle Bernstein is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back, and has written five additional bestsellers.

In case you don’t remember this tidbit about me, I love learning new things and I kind of geek out when a ton of scientific knowledge is dropped. And this is just one of the many reasons why I loved talked with entrepreneur, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) expert and mind coach, Andy Murphy.   Originally from Liverpool, England (love his accent!), he made his way to Australia 15 years ago where he created an extremely successful real estate business and discovered NLP in a sales and marketing environment. Years later, after a business setback, Andy was looking for a new and completely different challenge and incorporated his knowledge and expertise in NLP into the world of coaching and consulting, and the rest as they say is history.   The timing of this conversation was impeccable and helped me tackle some recent obstacles I faced in regard to creating and speaking. Tune into learn what NLP actually is, how it can help retrain your thoughts and belief systems and help you in all areas of your life. Andy also gives us a sneak peek into some of his other favorite practices that help him live a life he loves (and how you can too). You don’t want to miss this knowledge-packed episode!   --      Questions Asked in This Episode: What does it feel like when you follow your intuition and how did you know that’s what you should do? How do we start to know that we have power within the moments of fear, panic etc.? What does it take to get someone unstuck? Why are we stuck and how can we move past the place that’s keeping us there? What is NLP and what are some practical ways you’ve seen it used? When someone is trying to win over an audience are there certain things one can do to connect with them more quickly? What are some of your favorite ways of using NLP in your life? Do you meditate or visualize? What does that look like? What are you most excited about right now?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Andy’s journey led him to neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) The power of intuition and how you can tune into it The importance of a-ha moments and perspective shifts Tapping into your “alter ego(s)” Building new brain pathways Why you shouldn’t feel the fear and do it anyway How NLP helps retrain your nervous system by designing your thoughts and belief systems How to develop instant rapport The connection between memories and feelings And so much more…   Quotes:   “It’s not who you are, it’s where you are.”   “If you love what you do and you’re coming from your heart and your gut feels good, you’re winning.”   “Get rid of other peoples’ opinions and focus on your own growth, and I can promise that your life and business will match with where you’re at.” “Know it so you can change it.”   -- Andy left Liverpool, England 15 years ago and traveled to Sydney Australia, where he discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming in a sales and marketing environment. Breaking multiple sales records in investment real-estate and at the top of the business in Australia, he was head-hunted to New Zealand.   At the age of only 26 he opened a company developing a project to build a 100 million dollar resort in the Fiji Islands. After marketing the company over in Dubai alongside multi-billion dollar developments the global real-estate industry began to slow down.   Wanting a new challenge, Andy changed his focus and took his knowledge and expertise of NLP into the world of consulting and coaching.   Andy now takes his skill and passion around the world. Such as the USA, Saudi Arabia, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia the list goes on, where clients seek him out for private consulting including entrepreneurs, world champion MMA stars, professional sports athletes, multi-millionaire business owners, TV and film producers, TV and stage actors, trauma survivors and even Royal Family.   Andy`s true passion is to use the most cutting edge psychological tools blended with his own 21st century version of eastern philosophy to help global clients excel to their full potential. This passion is what drives him every day.­   Resources: http://mindsetbydesign.com  IG: @andymurphymindset  Mind by Design Podcast https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mindset-by-design-nlp-self-improvement-health-wealth/id900646659?mt=2  Checkout my website at loriharder.com.

We’ve all heard how difficult it can be to become a Navy SEAL – the physical challenges alone can make or break one’s success. Today’s guest and host of The Unbeatable Mind podcast, Mark Divine, had that part covered, but he ensured his success by mastering his thoughts as well.   From a disempowered background and core story, Mark didn’t always have dreams of becoming a Navy SEAL. In fact, he actually had a successful career as a CPA, but he longed for something more that also appealed to his athletic side.   Tune in to find out how Mark shifted his thought patterns and discarded those that didn’t work to accomplish his goals then and how he continues to apply those skills in his life and businesses now. I love how Mark’s approach links the heart and mind – you’re going to be amazed at just how simple it can be once you can quiet your mind and focus on one task at a time.   --      Questions Asked in This Episode: What led you to begin you Zen practice? What were some of the core beliefs of your family? What was the driver to become a Navy SEAL? Why did you find the process of becoming a Navy SEAL to be “easier?” If someone is feeling disempowered, what would you recommend for a visualization? What goes on in regard to training at your retreats? How can you break through mentally? What are you most excited about right now?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Mark went from CPA to Navy SEAL Mark’s Zen and meditation practice Changing the patterns of your thoughts from disempowering to empowering What it means to “practice on the bench” The BIG Four Skills (1. Breath Control 2. Maintaining, Managing and Curating Positive Direction of Emotions and Thinking 3. Always Hold an Image of What Success Looks Like and 4. Front Sight Focus) The importance and power of visualization Integrative training with mind and heart The Box-Breathing technique Disengaging from past events to free up energy The different levels of resiliency   Quotes:   “When I started asking better questions, then I started to get different answers.”   “The absence of thought is when the answers came to me.”   “Use your imagination to see a version of you that’s whole.”   “If you can see it, you can speak it and then you can believe it.”   “Create a positive memory of the future.”   “Sever the negative energy of the past so you can attract the force of the future which pulls you toward the future.”   “We always have value and a gift to give, no matter what happens to use, as long as we’re here.”   -- Mark is from upstate New York and did his formal undergraduate education at Colgate University. His years at Colgate University were focused on athletic endeavors such as competitive swimming, rowing and triathlon racing, interrupted by brief episodes of academic activity. After graduation from "the Gate" Mark started his professional career as a CPA with Coopers & Lybrand in New York City. Clients included luminous and no-longer existent financial firms such as Solomon Brothers and Paine Webber.  Four years later, with an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business in his briefcase, he left behind the suit to pursue his inner vision to become a Navy SEAL officer. He was 26 when he graduated as Honor Man (#1 ranked trainee) of his SEAL BUD/s class 170. Mark was fortunate to serve with many great men and women on active duty for nine years and in the reserves for eleven...retiring at the rank of Commander in 2011.

He co-founded the successful Coronado Brewing Company and launched NavySEALs.com in the same year he left active duty.

Shero (noun): a female who fights for what she believes in and never gives up, even if it means fighting alone.   I had the honor of interviewing not one, but TWO Sheroes on today’s episode – Cassey Ho and Lisa Bilyeu – the hosts of The Sheroic Podcast. Before starting The Sheroic, both women were already successful entrepreneurs in their own right (Cassey is the CEO of Blogilates and Lisa is a founding team member of Quest Nutrition), however both share that there wasn’t a huge “break” that landed them in either role.   Tune in to hear about each woman’s journey thus far and how they’ve risen (and continued to rise) to meet the challenges and obstacles that get in their way. I know you will absolutely fall in love with their comforting, loving and vulnerable natures. This hour was seriously a warm-up for more inspiring conversations to come – enjoy!   --      Questions Asked in This Episode: What was the catalyst of saying “yes, this is what I want to do,” when you decided to go for it?

Define your relationship with fear. What are some of your biggest fears you’re working through now? Is there anything missing from your life?

Twenty-eight years ago, Lorna Jane, founder of Lorna Jane Active, was a fitness instructor who just wanted to find fitness wear that made her feel good. So much so that she used her own swimsuit to craft her own outfit. Her students liked them so much that they too began asking for their very own Lorna Jane clothing. And while it was never her intention at the time to create a clothing line, Lorna Jane Active was meant to be.   Making others feel good doesn’t stop at her clothing line though. In her most recent book, Love You, Lorna focuses on the importance of self-belief. At one point she lost a portion of that self-belief and self-love and worked to regain it back. It’s through her experiences and learnings that she hopes to help other women find their self-confidence, self-love and purpose again – and create an amazing life.   Lorna is one of the most-inspiring humans I’ve had the privilege of interviewing and I was positively giddy that we were able to talk in person. Her energy and positive attitude is contagious and can be heard throughout our conversation. I know you’re going to love listening to her as much as I did.   Be sure to share this episode with a friend and don’t miss out on Lorna’s giveaway that she mentions in the show! --   Questions Asked in This Episode: What has been a mistake for you that was devastating at the time, but now has become something you can’t imagine not happening because you’ve grow so much from it? What was your thought process/mindset when handling that mistake? How do you make sure you’re filling up your soul? How do you decide who you’re going to put your energy toward? When you have to make difficult decisions, what do you do to get in that space and how do you recover after? What is something that you do to make sure that your community is always there within your brand? How do you connect with women and support them in your life? Are there ways you ensure that you’re supported every day? What’s been one of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in business? What’s the hardest thing you’ve had to transcend or leave behind in order to become the Lorna that you are now? How do you stay excited about life? How do you do market research and stay focused on what is true for you? What does it mean for you to be authentic? What was it about your book, Love You, that you had to write about that you hadn’t previously written?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Lorna founded Lorna Jane Active Why we fear a career or changing it The importance of trying new things and making mistakes Why her business motto, Move Nourish Believe is so important to Lorna Surrounding yourself with great people Why honesty is the best policy Parting ways with friends and colleagues in the right away Getting people to believe in what you’re doing How never getting overly in debt makes it easier to stay creative and make better business decisions Why Lorna has a mindset of abundance with her business Celebrating the good about yourself and working on the not so good The importance of self-belief And so much more…   Quotes:   “If you let yourself be open to things it takes you where you’re supposed to go.”   “When you have a dream, you don’t care about what you’re missing.”   “I believe the biggest mistakes have the biggest learnings.”   “You can’t let really big mistakes stop you from your dreams.”   “Not everyone grows in the same garden.”   “I’m not designed for everyone to love me.”   “You have to do the things that scare you or that others think are crazy; otherwise you’re not moving forward.”   “Do what’s right and don’t think about how things look.”   “Listen to your heart and do what’s right for your business and don’t let your ego get in the way.”   “There is no force equal to that of a determined woman.” --   Lorna Jane Clarkson, the inspiring woman behind Lorna Jane activewear, started designing on her lounge room floor by night, while she was busy working as a fitness instructor by day. Her unique and fashion forward pieces were so popular that she turned her hobby into a global business. Today she has over 200 stores around the world, numerous fashion design awards to her name and a series of bestselling books. Lorna continues to inspire women every day with her Active Living Philosophy, which makes being fit and healthy easy with the daily practice of Move Nourish Believe… Lorna’s story is a real inspiration to women all over the world and she proves that with hard work and belief in yourself, anything is possible.   Resources:   Love You by Lorna Jane Clarkson Available now at: http://lornajane.com Book Giveaway To be eligible for one of 10 free Love You books, first follow @ljclarkson, @loriharder and @lornajaneUS.

I’m so honored to have my friend and mentor, Lewis Howes, on again. We talk about his new book Mask of Masculinity, which drops on Oct. 31, and how he came up with the idea to write it.   While this book was written primarily for men, I discovered that his book is also a helpful tool for women who are looking to understand the men in their lives. Heck, it can help you understand ALL human beings and the masks that people wear to hide or perhaps enhance who they truly are. Once we’re aware of these masks and can accept them, we can tap into a deeper level of connection to all human beings.   --   Questions Asked in This Episode: How did you know what direction you wanted to head in your business endeavors? How do you know to follow through with an idea? How did you transcend when family and friends tried to hold you back? Do you feel if our parents would have lived more in their purpose we would have gotten more from them and had a richer experience? In terms of dreams and goals, how do you and your girlfriend support one another? Why did you still feel unfulfilled when you were so close to getting everything you wanted? What are the 9 Masks of Masculinity and how did you come up with them? Looking back on your career, would you do anything differently? Were you afraid of feedback? What was the worst feedback you pictured? When you wrote Mask of Masculinity, did anything unexpected come up for you? How would you advise women who’ve been cracked open emotionally to help the men in their lives do the same? Who is the ideal audience for your book?   In This Episode We Talk about: What it means to fill in the gaps and spaces in the world Creating more abundance by letting go Surrounding yourself with friends who have similar energy The importance of communication in relationships and why they must support your dreams (even if that support is minimal) Why growth and contribution are the art of achievement (and fulfillment) The 9 Masks of Masculinity talked about in Lewis’s book, Mask of Masculinity, and how he came up with them Being aware of your actions and how they affect people and whether they’ll make a positive or negative impact Lewis’s desire to make an impact Why life-altering awakenings (big and small) help us look at things differently Only taking feedback if it resonates with you and/or comes from someone you trust and respect Awareness of masks and accepting them Connecting with the men in your life (and all human beings) And so much more…   Quotes:   “I’ve found fulfillment in being secure in who I am in the moment.”   “My dreams are my priority.”   “Live with your responsibilities, but also find the path of your dreams.”   “When we fixate on making money to gain self-worth, it’s never enough.”   “It’s the most selfish thing to give because you feel the best.”   “The masks help us get results.”   “It’s unfulfilling to always be right and to win at all costs.”   “When we can fully let go of these masks and connect to people and have them see us – and fully get us – what’s when true intimacy and connection occurs.”   “It’s our responsibility to be aware when we’re wearing a mask.”   “Every moment I’m not making an impact I’m wasting the gift I was born with.”   “My fuel is based on the fear of regretting at the end of my life that I didn’t give enough.”   “When we are acknowledged, we feel like we can do more good.”   --   Before LEWIS HOWES became a media sensation for empowering people and sharing 'Greatness' across the globe, he had his share of obstacles to overcome. From having a learning disability, which led to being alone and bullied in school, to being sexually abused as a child, to being injured and broke on his sister’s couch, Lewis’s story is the perfect example of how anybody can overcome the obstacles in their life and achieve greatness. Fast forward a few short years, and Lewis is a New York Times Bestselling author of the hit book, The School of Greatness and releases his new book, Mask of Masculinity on Oct. 31. He is a lifestyle entrepreneur, high performance business coach and keynote speaker. A former professional football player and two-sport All-American, he is a current USA Men’s National Handball Team athlete. He hosts a top 100 podcast in the world, The School of Greatness, which has over 40 million downloads since it launched in 2013. He was recognized by The White House and President Obama as one of the top 100 entrepreneurs in the country under 30.

EYH – Ep. 165 – Danika Brysha – Surrender your way to success and become a magnet for your dreams   Today’s guest, Model Meals Founder and CEO, Danika Brysha, may look a little familiar to some of you as she’s been a part of several campaigns as a plus-size/curve model for big names such as Target and Old Navy. While she has a successful modeling career now, it was winding road to get there.   From a young age, Danika continually struggled to feel that she was enough when it came to her body. Growing up in the era of the size double-zero, she focused on her weight for more than a decade of her life. This fixation eventually reached its breaking point when it led to bulimia and dental issues.   Wanting to take care of her body better, Danika stopped throwing up but turned to drugs to keep the weight at bay. This went on for quite some time until she graduated college in the television industry and had had it with her body image struggle. She let go and let herself settle into where her body naturally fell (about a size 12/14). She was soon approached by an agent who suggested that she get into plus-size modeling. After signing with an agency and moving out to New York, her modeling career took off, but she soon hit another snag.   Wanting to start off the New Year (a new career and move, too) renewed, she tried the Whole30 meal plan. She was blown away by her results and not only did she lose 15 pounds, but she was amazed at how much clarity she had and how amazing she felt. Her plus-size modelings clients didn’t agree and she started to lose modeling gigs. As a way to earn money, Danika offered to help people in New York City eat cleaner by making meals for them. This side-business went well, but she still wasn’t able to make ends meet.   It wasn’t long before Danika moved back to California where she grew up and moved into her parents’ garage. This was a serendipitous moment, however as it led to the eventual launch pf Model Meals with a friend and Danika has since signed with a new modeling agency.   Danika’s journey of self-love is one of several ups and downs, but instead of fighting against them she’s learned to surrender and use her own feelings as a guide through them. Her story is so relatable and there’s something that everyone can take away from it. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much I did. --   Questions Asked in This Episode: How did you get your start with modeling and eventually Model Meals?

As a former journalist and now master networker and business coach, David shares the importance of improving on all forms of communication – from speaking or social interactions to relationships (family, friends and business). He shares so many impactful stories and we had so much fun during our conversation. I can’t wait for you to listen!   --   Questions Asked in This Episode What made you want to start sharing with and helping people get better with social interactions and speaking?

If you feel the need or calling to spend more time and connect with your soul, today’s heart-warming conversation with author and soulful teacher, Rebecca Campbell, is just the ticket. With an early fascination around the world of spirituality, souls and past lives, Rebecca had always felt a little “weird.” Not because she enjoyed these things, but because others were uncomfortable with it. And so from that young age, she seemingly led a double life – one that was “normal” with her school-aged friends and the other with a group of older, wise women who taught her about the healing arts and the power of intuitive arts. Rebecca always knew she wanted to create (writing, designing etc.), so following that path, she pursued the “normal” career in advertising. She had a very successful career as a creative director, but after experiencing a great period of loss, Rebecca knew she wanted to do more with all those little “soul whispers” that tugged at her heart. With the pipes and structures literally crumbling around her and navigating through her grief, Rebecca began to finally answer this calling and began to write what soon became her first book, Light Is the New Black, followed by Rise Sister Rise. She is grateful for all the life events that led her to where she is today and truly believes that this is the exact path she was meant to take. It is her hope that her story encourages you all to follow the “different path” if you feel so called – even if it happens in baby steps to reach your goals. “The dots always join in the end and nothing is ever wasted.” -- Questions Asked in This Episode • How did you get in touch with your inner wild woman to be who you are now? • Did you have to reframe while you were going through that journey? • What did surrendering to your soul look like? • Is there a way to answer the soul’s calling without hitting rock-bottom? • What do you say to someone who doesn’t know who they are? • How do you feel about women and sisterhood, and why is it important? • What do you when you feel like you’ve been put in a box as a “good girl?” • What has been the toughest thing you’ve had to let go of in order to step into your authentic self? In This Episode You Will Learn: • About the importance of listening to your head vs. your heart • How to develop a devotional and spiritual practice • How to surrender to your soul’s calling • Why you need to listen to your “soul whispers” and the importance of connecting to them • The commonalities between the seasons of life and nature • About doing work with other women in sync with monthly cycles • The importance of ancestral roots and why you must trust your own power/intuition • Why you don’t have to be a “good girl” • And so much more… Quotes: “Often our soul’s calling is scary, but it was more uncomfortable and scary to stay where I was than it was to throw my life up in the air.” “Sometimes rock-bottom moments are beautiful opportunities to just do it.” “Alright, soul, you’re running the shop now.” “The voice of our soul/intuition is the part of us that is linked to the entire universe.” “Follow what lights you up.” “When we’re inspired, when we’re lit up, we’re in our spirit and in that rhythmic flow and in that surrendered space.” “When we connect in with our spirit, then we don’t have to work out every step of the way – we just have to move our feet.” “In order for something to rise within us, something needs to fall away to clear that space.” “When things are blooming, it’s just as good as when the leaves are falling.” “If we’re trying to fit in a box, the people who ARE your people won’t be able to see you.” “Trust the wisdom of your soul.” -- Rebecca Campbell is a best-selling author, spiritual teacher, grounded spiritual mentor and soulful guide. Bestselling author of Light Is The New Black, Rebecca has guided thousands of women to listen to the callings of their soul and create a life that is completely aligned to them. Her second book is Rise Sister Rise. In 2015, she was awarded the ‘Promising New Talent’ award by the Mind Body Spirit Festival in London. In 2016 Rebecca received ‘Emerging Voice’ by Kindred Spirit Magazine and was honoured to receive the ‘100 Women of Spirit’ award by Dadi Janki of the Brahama Kumaris for feminine leadership and spiritual service. Drawing on her unique experience as an award-winning advertising creative director, Rebecca loves helping people tap into their creativity and lead from a place that is authentic and light up the world in a way that only they can.

I know you are all going to love today’s guest, Dave Asprey. Not only will you be in awe of his transformation story, but he shares so many useful tips and tools to help you gain more energy AND boost both the health of your mind and body. A successful Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur and the founder of Bulletproof Coffee, Dave once weighed 300 lbs. and even though he spent 1.5 hours at the gym daily and ate a super low-calorie diet, he couldn’t budge the scale. He felt old in his young body. It wasn’t until he decided to cut sugar from his diet (and inadvertently lower his carb intake) that he lost 50 lbs. It took him another 7-8 years while biohacking and figuring out his body to lose the other 50. Since that time and with an innate sense of curiosity, Dave has discovered and created techniques, and keys to taking control of and improving a person’s biochemistry, body and mind so they work in unison, helping one execute at levels far beyond what is expected without burning out, getting sick, or allowing stress to control decisions. I learned and related to so much of this amazingly educational conversation and I hope you do as well. Dave’s determination and drive to discover more and more about the human body is so inspiring. I’m giddy just thinking about where his work will take us in the years to come. Happy Listening! -- Questions Asked in This Episode When you had your huge transformation, what was the biggest thing that clicked for you compared to what wasn’t working before? When you changed your diet, did you have doubts that it wouldn’t work? What is a common health misconception that you hear all the time? How long does it take to see results? What do you recommend to increase willpower? Do you think it’s possible to overcome different genetic problems? What is the toughest thing you’ve had to let go of in order to fulfill your dreams and mission? In This Episode You Will Learn: How Dave Asprey lost 100 lbs. without spending hours in a gym About the difference between hunger and cravings The importance of putting the right food into our bodies to control cravings How Bulletproof Coffee was created How to increase willpower About the power and importance of mitochondria How to find your weaknesses and conquer them About the benefits of intermittent fasting Why sleep is so important and why it’s important to get better (more quality) sleep Quotes: “I wanted to help a few people who were stuck like I was.” “My brain changed and I needed new pants.” “Eat enough food and eat the right kinds of non-inflammatory fats, and when you eat the right foods your cravings should be gone.” “Low calorie means low energy.” “You can be lean and look pretty good just from what you put on your plate and it’s not about eating less. It’s about eating the right things so you have enough energy and less cravings and stable hormones and less inflammation in your body.” “Find out what the bare minimum you can do is – then do that.” “Stop making so many decisions.” “Any upgrade in energy = an upgrade in willpower = more energy to improve yourself.” “Make happy, healthy, strong and powerful mitochondria and they will cause the best genes to be expressed.” “You are not a slave to your genes.” “Struggling is different than working hard.” -- Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproof and author of New York Times bestseller The Bulletproof Diet, is a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and over $1 Million to hack his own biology. Dave lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, used techniques to upgrade his brain and lift his IQ by 20 points, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time.

I’m so excited for you to listen and get to know green juice junkie (and so much more), Drew Canole. We could have talked for hours! He’s so connected and open with his spirituality that I felt like I was talking to a long-lost friend. Seriously, we’re both from Michigan (now in California), we’re experienced snowmobile drivers and we both take guitar lessons! And our journeys are quite similar as well. Drew had always been into fitness, but after consistently working out two or more hours a day he wasn’t getting the results/body he wanted. He soon realized it was likely the food he was putting into his body (Michigan diet = burgers, pizza and Hamburger Helper). So it was six and half years ago, after a friend suggested that Drew try a green juice, that he decided to eliminate the junk/processed foods and also drink “copious amounts” of green juice for seven days. Loving the effects, he decided to continue on for 90 days while incorporating intermittent fasting and also documenting his journey on YouTube. He lost 40 pounds! And while his physical appearance was amazing, what’s more is that he FELT so much better. He had more energy, he felt more creative, productive and experienced more clarity in his life. Drew felt in tune with his most authentic self. “When you get in that flow state, that energy, it radically shifts your viewpoint of every human being.” After all, when you’re in this state, there’s no time for lack or scarcity – you just see abundance. Realizing that for some, it’s difficult to get to this state, Drew explains that adjusting your nutrition is the perfect hack to reaching this when your mindset hasn’t quite reached this point. He offers the following tips to get started on your own transformation: Get quality sleep. Dial in on what kind of sleep you need and what you’re actually getting – and tweak. Drew uses the app Beddit to track his sleep. Drink A LOT of water. Drink green juice. This is optional, but Drew feels it’s so helpful when trying to retrain your tastebuds. Set a goal. Figure out your “Why-Dentity” or your “why that makes you cry.” Along with this, it’s recognizing what you want to hear from the people you love and what YOU want to see in the mirror. This often creates more of a reality for you. It’s a combination of feeling what you want to and SEEING it as well. Even further, boost your success rate by finding someone to team up with as well. Developing certain daily rituals or daily practices are also an important key to your success. It’s what grounds us and keeps us in that state of flow. Personally, I know when my sleep isn’t quality or I’m not moving my body, my creativity and motivation comes to a halt. The same goes for Drew. Below are some of his important morning visualization/meditation practices. Wake up and get grateful. Go through a list in your head or write out what you’re grateful for. Visualization/Meditation for 10 minutes or more if time allows. He uses a Japanese-style meditation that focuses on breathing. Email/text three people you care about. Show appreciation to people you care for, but haven’t reached out to in a while – just to show your love. Coffee (usually some beneficial supplements) and then off to the gym (about 1.25 hours). Sometimes swimming. Spiritual work/reading. Shower 9 a.m. daily work touch-base meeting Now, I get it… So often a person doesn’t feel like they have the time to build in such rituals. But we both Drew and I believe you can. If you constantly think you don’t have time, guess what? That’s how it’s always going to feel. Drew himself believes that time is just an illusion. He likes to view all time as “the unfoldment of good.” He likes to frame it as constantly being in a state of bliss – tracking how much good can be done in ONE moment. When you’re in this place, time is no longer a question. Instead it seems to expand exponentially. “The universe is like water and wants to get out of your way when you know where you’re going.” When time (and life) is approached this way, people and opportunities are magnetically drawn to you. So take time to focus on the times you feel stress or like you have no time. Take a time out. Breathe in and as Drew suggests, “breathe out with a smile.” Notice how much lighter you feel after. “Time slows down when you’re living in the moment.” With this approach, it’s no wonder that Drew has attracted 80+ team members to join his team. Ideal boss alert! He encourages people to explore their spiritual gifts daily whether it’s reading a new book a week as a company or attending his team’s daily 9 a.m. meeting. He also ensures that he’s connected and creating a healthy work environment. When it comes to staying personally grounded and connected, Drew finds writing therapeutic as well as frequent spa treatments (acupuncture, cryo-saunas etc.). But it’s also been about is overall vision for his life. When he began to see that what he does every single day makes a difference, he was able to bring that vision to life. Drew wants everyone to know that a person’s vision for what they want to create in their lives is so huge and it CAN be created. “It’s the consistent action, every single day, that’s going to be the guiding light in your life.” How’s that for motivation? What actions could you take to today to make your vision a reality? As always I would love to hear! -- Drew Canole is a rockstar in the world of fitness, nutrition and mindset, with a huge heart for others and doing his part to transform the world, one person at a time. Drew is the founder and CEO of FitLife.TV, an online health and wellness media channel where he shares educational, inspirational and entertaining videos and articles about health, fitness and healing and longevity.

Subscribe to Earn Your Happy on iTunes. Four years ago, teaching English in Japan, Melyssa Griffin decided to start a blog to connect with more people. She soon realized, however, that this blog was becoming less of a hobby and more of something she felt called to monetize and turn into a career. She left teaching and decided to offer web design services. After a couple of years, she had created a profitable business, but she still felt a touch restless… she still felt the pull to teach and do more with MORE people. Melyssa decided to return to teaching, but this time in a different realm. She now teaches online workshops and courses to those who want to start their own business. And one of the things she’s most passionate about is managing the online communities that go along with them. Community has always been an important and intriguing part of Melyssa’s life and I love that she had the opportunity to compare Japanese culture/community with American culture. While she found that Japanese culture, in general, tended to be more reserved (opinions and personalities) there was still a sense of community. It was a concept that wasn’t questioned – it just was. Originally from California, Melyssa found that while the culture varied (more outgoing, more flexibility), there was one universal truth. It became clear one day as she watched a Japanese man and his child play in the park. She noticed that even though she couldn’t understand what they were saying, she could still understand the “conversation” through their body language, intonation and facial expressions. It was a deeper human connection that we ALL have. “We all have this intimate connection that we all have to each other that has nothing to do with the languages we speak.” With a focus on this connection and sense of community, Melyssa went on to open and close several businesses – a greeting card shop, a web design shop and blogging. While one could have felt a sense of failure around the ups and downs of these businesses, it was through this process that Melyssa made a huge realization. “Maybe the fun of it is knowing that it will change in the future and that means you’re still growing and learning new things.” I couldn’t agree more, and I full-heartedly believe that if you’re not changing, you’re not growing – even if that means failing full force along the way. After all, when things are uncertain you might as well explore new things, am I right? Similarly, Melyssa encourages hopeful entrepreneurs to do the same. “Move in the direction of what feels good. Don’t overanalyze it. Don’t try to calculate it. If something stops feeling good and you know that something is going to feel better, do that and start moving in that direction.” Melyssa hasn’t always had such a great relationship with failure. Like many, she was raised to believe that she needed to be successful and wealthy. And admittedly, those are ALL great things, but it also implied that failure wasn’t an option. Today, she’s undone most of these beliefs, but she often has to consciously spin the negatives into a positive light. “Failure is either going to lead you in a direction to something you will enjoy or that will turn out well, or you’re going to learn something massive from that failure and that will lead to something else that’s going to be that next step for you.” So this is all good and great, but now you may be wondering how you actually even begin to turn your passion into a career you love? For many, there’s the common excuse of not having enough time. While both Melyssa and I agree that this is often the case, we also know that there are tiny spaces of time and small sacrifices you can make to just start. Melyssa suggests to start super small, but get super clear on how and who you want to serve. From there, begin by sharing your knowledge for free. This can lead to collaborations with other entrepreneurs – and you’ll be getting your stuff out there! More tips on getting your business out there Get on Pinterest. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not a social media platform. It’s a search engine for a whole lot more than DIY projects. Do video in some form – podcasts, IG stories. This provides a way to deeper connect with your audience on a personal level. Webinars. Once thought of as more of a “fancy” sales pitch with little value, Melyssa advises to make it valuable. Offer 30-40 minutes of quality training and THEN offer to expand on the training with your product. If you’re looking to grow your audience (and email lists) and make sales – this is a two-for-one deal. “The more you can have your audience know you, the more you’re able to grow your business and affect people.” One tip from Melyssa… Don’t get bogged down with the thought that it’s all been done before. Yes, it probably has, but not by YOU! When people follow you, they’ll LOVE all facets of who you are. And they’ll love your story and where you’re coming from. “We need more voices because we need people who can deeply connect to each type of person out there.” Of course, you’ll always have those that don’t resonate with you, but guess what? It’s OK! They’ll just find someone else who does, and you will allow room for another to follow you. But what if you get someone who just can’t keep their thoughts or dislike for your message to themselves? Although difficult and sometimes hurtful, Melyssa suggests taking a day to process what’s been said if you need to while keeping the following thought in mind: “Happy, secure people don’t go out of their way to hurt other people.” With this in mind, assume that all people are good. That way when you’re ready, you can respond in the most loving way possible without judgment or anger. I love that Melyssa stresses the importance of coming from a place of love and community in all that you do. If your intent is to create a business that can grow, be sure to focus on Melyssa’s three Cs – Connection, Content and Collaboration. Focus on who you can serve and what valuable content you can provide and the community will follow. -- Melyssa Griffin teaches online courses and live workshops for entrepreneurs and bloggers who want to turn their after-work hobbies into full-time businesses. A few of her specialties include list-building, webinars, using Pinterest to get organic traffic, and content marketing. She also leads an active Facebook group of 60,000 members and helps almost 150,000 entrepreneurs with her weekly emails.

Upon listening to my recent conversation with my guest, photographer and business strategist, Jasmine Star, it will become quite apparent why I felt as though we could have continued to talk for hours more. Her story (so far) will have you hooked and feeling the serendipitous pull of it (not to mention all the social media strategy knowledge she drops here). In 2005, Jasmine walked away from a scholarship to UCLA law school to follow her heart. The path led straight to her mother's bedside as she battled brain cancer for the second time. Wanting to be at her side as she fought, she dropped out of law school (fully intending at the time to go back). Praying for her mom to be able to walk her down the aisle at her wedding to her high school sweetheart, she planned a wedding in three months to ensure that this hope became a reality. Against all odds, both her mother and father were able to escort Jasmine down the aisle on a sandy beach in Hawaii. Shortly after, wedded bliss faded into the reality and she discovered she was jobless, broken, and desperate to follow her mom's earlier instructions of doing something she loved. On a beach, barely a tan line on his ring finger, Jasmine confessed to her husband that she didn’t want to be a lawyer, she wanted to be a photographer. With no experience or a camera for that matter, Jasmine’s husband supported her decision. That Christmas he gifted her a camera and the permission to pursue her passion. Though not extraordinarily talented at the time, she tapped into her self-awareness, slowly building a brand and community, marketing her services, and transforming from a “doubtful photographer to a savvy entrepreneur.” Four years later, she was voted one of the top photographers in the world. “As a byproduct of pushing through and consistently ending up on the other side, other entrepreneurs, quiet observers, are paying close attention to what you’re doing. They develop an allegiance not for the perfection, but for the sheer will to succeed.” Amazing, right? Interview over. Kidding. I wanted to dig deeper and see just how Jasmine is able to teach her programs, keep up with her own social media AND stay inspired. The first tip Jasmine offers is that you can’t just sit around and wait for creativity to hit you like a bolt of lightning (you’ll be waiting awhile…). ;) She feels that she’s most creative and inspired when she’s working through something. Whether she’s unhappy or looking but not finding a solution – those are the moments when things tend to fall into place without evening knowing it’s happening. “Inspiration is like a small drop, and all of a sudden you realize the bucket is filling – and that’s when you shift.” So once you’ve locked in your passion, how do you attract your audience? Jasmine likes to create her “ideal” client by asking roughly 20-30 questions. Really tune into WHO you want to serve. Once you’ve figured that out (and this can take some trial and error), you can create content that’s specific to those followers. Jasmine often uses her own social media accounts to help her fill in gaps with her content. Keep in mind that when people comment on your posts, they often are telling you what problems they need help with. Wait now… Jasmine still monitors her own social media accounts? Yep. While she does have a small team to help, she feels it is super important for her to manage her accounts so she’s able to keep a pulse on her followers. While some struggle with the tremendous discipline and time management skills this requires, Jasmine thrives. Many days, her time is planned down to the minute. For example, her marketing is roughly planned out at 10 hours per week. That’s broken down into 600 minutes… and 20 minute increments from there (IG, FB, FB groups, hashtag follow-ups, plus an hour of research a day to keep up on algorithms and trends). “We always have these high aspirations, but if we’re not clear on our trajectory, there’s a good chance we’re going to miss the mark.” Jasmine also encourages entrepreneurs to add to this by making it a point to understand their audiences and bring more of themselves. If your audience likes long posts, write them, but know that unless engagement is high, the algorithms will suppress views (IG and Jasmine prefer shorter posts about 86-112 characters). Get real with your audience. Selfies do very well as do stories about your personal background. Show your workspace…let people get to see the REAL you! “People want to see the simplicity and the grandeur.” Lastly, Jasmine advises that it’s not all about you. Nobody watches TV, listens to the radio or surfs social media to see commercials, so don’t make all of your posts about your products or services. Instead of focusing all of your attention on selling your product or service, you must first build your followers’ trust. “The more you show up and the more you build trust by providing valuable content, the better off you’ll be and the faster you’ll transfer them to customers.” At the end of the day, Jasmine stresses the importance of people knowing that “you see them, you hear them and that you want to know them.” Make sure your brand is more than a website, product or business… Make your brand an experience for your customers. With a successful and ever-growing business, I think this is the perfect advice. For more tips, be sure to follow Jasmine at the links below.

To say I was honored to have a one-on-one conversation with Danielle LaPorte is an understatement. I recently just finished her newest book, White Hot Truth, and it was just what I needed to access my freedom in writing my own book. Talking with her took it to a whole other level.  For those of you who don’t know who Danielle is, she’s an author, speaker, a poet, a painter, and a former business strategist and Washington-DC think tank exec. She is also an invited member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100, a group who, in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.” In addition to her recent book, she’s also the author of The Fire Starter Sessions, and The Desire Map: A Guide To Creating Goals With Soul – this book also evolved into a yearly day planner system, a top 10 iTunes app, and an international workshop program. You’ve also likely seen her #truthbombs on social media. At a glance, like many other successful people, one would not believe the career hurdles she’s overcome so far in her life. Very early on, Danielle remembers always having an entrepreneurial spirit. She was the girl running the lemonade stand and intuitively finding other opportunities to make money. Danielle once thought she would be a fashion designer, but she changed directions when she realized she got headaches every time she went to sew. From there, she began helping friends and naturally fell into being a publicist. This eventually led to the creation of her own communications agency – landing gigs in Washington D.C. pitching and selling white papers to the Pentagon. This in and of itself is an amazing accomplishment as she never went to college and is from Canada. When her work in D.C. was complete, Danielle went on to start a consultancy for soulful personal branding, which led to her first book, Style Statement: Live by Your Own Design. It got the attention of Oprah and she received a lot of media and investment interest from that. That small consultancy incorporated and soon after she was fired. While none of this made her feel great, she believes that, “All the worst things have turned out to be my best things.” True to her words, Danielle went on to coach entrepreneurs, author the above listed books and hasn’t looked back since. While some would let all these different events knock them down, she persevered by focusing on the reason she’s here. She unquestionably knows her why and she knows what her talents are. Danielle goes on to say, “Life happens. You tried your best and it didn’t work out…You just have to keep showing up.” Danielle also adds that you must take the time to grieve these hard times. “When you don’t win, you need to stop, you need to cry and recover, and feel the sting and how you feel about what just happened.” Life is hard. So just take that breather – but then come back – ready to work. “If you’re going to be brighter and sexier and smarter and more feminine and more innovative and more progressive than the status-f*cking-quo, you’re in for a fight.” There will always be losses, but you need to know that you walk away knowing more. You’re better. And you’re actually more yourself because of it. I love that Danielle phrases it as, “Sometimes you need to be lost to be found.” This is SO true. We need to go through the highs and the lows – and learn from them. And sometimes this means setting boundaries. This is easier said than done as a woman though – and not because we’re too emotional. Danielle explains that as women, we naturally want to merge and connect with people… We want to nourish and heal. We don’t want to be “mean,” and we don’t want to be a push-over either. Being tolerant can be a good thing, but being “excessively tolerant” = almost no boundaries. Danielle doesn’t expect you to do this all on your own. You need someone else to objectively tell you when your boundaries are being taken advantage of. She goes to say that once you’ve put up that “fence” to keep those people out, you’ll find that no one died. You didn’t kill anyone. And you feel just a little big lighter. Recently, there has been some stress in Danielle’s business where she’s had to use some of the above practices. It’s comforting to know that no matter where you’re at, we all experience resistance in our lives. While she takes time to “walk in circles” and wrap her head around the problem, she also makes a point to view disappointing events in a positive light. “I always take failure as an opportunity to reinvent.” Danielle tells us to use these opportunities to question EVERYTHING (no, really – everything). Even through these less than ideal times for her business right now, the powerful message of her recent book, White Hot Truth, is a success. It was Danielle’s hope that people experience the book and feel relieved (mission accomplished with me). Since finishing her book, Danielle herself has more compassion for herself and for others. And she hopes that others will feel the same and then some – more self-love and self-respect, too. And once you do, Danielle encourages you to, “Get off your butt and do something – make the world a better place. The world needs YOU.” In This Episode You Will Learn: Overcoming resistance Creativity Parenting and Love Going against the status quo Books Resources: June 23 – Book tour in L.A. at Agape New podcast – to be released Jan. 2018 Facebook: Danielle.LaPorte.Inc Instagram: @DanielleLaPorte Twitter: @DanielleLaPorte Website: www.DanielleLaPorte.com White Hot Truth by Danielle LaPorte (be sure to use this link and receive a free audio copy as well) Follow me on social media @LoriHarder on Instagram and Lori Harder on Facebook.

One never knows what they’re going to do when tragedy hits, but JJ had to keep it together and learn fast after one of her son’s was the victim of a brutal hit-and-run accident. With 13 broken bones and an aortic tear, doctors knew he needed surgery, but they also warned he’d likely not survive the airlift to another hospital – much less the actual surgery. They gave him the heart-wrenching odds of a .25 percent survival rate. With that knowledge, JJ had a choice to make. Fortunately, the wisdom of her other son rang through as he asked the doctor, “Point-two-five isn’t zero, right?” Those words were just what JJ needed to make the choice to help her son FIGHT for survival. After a successful airlift and surgery, JJ’s son survived, but because of the trauma was in a coma. It was a daunting road ahead, but JJ start asking herself the “right” questions. It wasn’t “how will he survive this?” It was, “How do I get him to 110%?” And one of the top things she could do to get him there was to take care of herself. “I did what I needed to do to take extreme care of myself.” JJ knew she had to: 1. Be there for her son. 2. Ensure her book was a success (The Virgin Diet). 3. She needed to put her health FIRST. And that’s what she did to make sure she was at the top of her game to help her son fight for his life. Not long after JJ’s son’s accident, it was suggested that in addition to the book she had just written (The Virgin Diet), she should write about her recent experience with her son – what tools she used and how she kept strong and positive throughout it all. Thank goodness she said yes to that! JJ’s teachings have come to help thousands of clients reframe their mindset and realize their worth, mind and body. Oddly enough sometimes, it’s not the diet or exercise component that hangs people up, it’s the actual saying or writing down of the words, “I am worthy.” That’s great, but how do you get someone to actually feel worthy? JJ encourages taking ACTION. It’s all about shifting your mindset and moving into action. JJ teaches her members/readers to practice their “Daily Jam.” Upon waking up every day, the Daily Jam consists of: 1. GRATITUDE: Writing down three things you are grateful for (starting the day in gratitude is a MUST). 2. APPRECIATION: Text someone a message of appreciation. 3. MIRACLE: Write down three miracles that happen that day. And then… Write “I am worthy.” It can be a super difficult thing for some to write, but they work their way up to realizing they are a complete bad ass (and that’s how we ALL should feel by the way). JJ is completely transparent when it comes to her own case of “imposter syndrome.” We all have moments of not feeling like we’re good enough or worthy – that’s reality. There are still days where she wonders what the hell she’s doing. But then she remembers (from personal experience) that no one has it all together. Every successful person has failed their way there… in one way or another. Failure is just a part of life. “What if fear was actually a sign that you’re stepping up onto a bigger platform and you should feel that? What if when you’re feeling nothing, it’s because you’re playing it safe.” Fear is never easy to take… but quit playing it safe. Play ALL OUT, even if it means falling on your face. “It’s necessary, it sucks, it’s painful, but it makes it all amazing and worth it.” You must be willing to acknowledge the good with the bad. What was good? What were the wins? It’s about appreciating the present moment and lessons and getting real with gratitude. “When you’re scared to death and you want to get fear shoved out of the way, gratitude shoves it and builds resilience.” But JJ is again full honest… It never gets easier to take, but the tougher the experience, the more you step up, and the more you grow. “If your purpose is big enough, it makes you push through. And every time you push through, you’re building that muscle of resilience.” So on that note, know that you can handle “stuff” – whatever it is. If you set your mind right, you can reframe anything to be a good thing or your miracle. -- JJ Virgin a is celebrity nutrition and fitness expert, who teaches clients how to lose weight and master their mindset so they can lead bigger, better lives.

Warning: This podcast may make you want to buy a plane ticket to exotic places and find your soul. Or, perhaps curl up on your couch with a cuddly dog (both of us prefer our goldendoodles) and drink a lavender latte while contemplating your soul’s purpose. ;) Ok, let me back the train up. Today’s guest, Rachelle Tratt, is a living example of what it means to follow your heart, and you’re going to want to read on/listen to hear why. In case you’ve never heard of this amazing lady, Rachelle is a Los Angeles-based yoga instructor, community leader, and soulful entrepreneur who created The Neshama Project, a yoga inspired, socially conscious jewelry company that gives back.  Many may not know this, but Rachelle’s company, The Neshama Project, was actually inspired by the sudden and traumatic loss of her mother when she was only 9 years old. While recognizing now that it was all meant to be part of her path so she could in turn help others, at the time she struggled with anxiety and depression – and just feeling different. These feelings played out as a teenager as she hit a rebellious phase, which at the age of 18 ended in rehab. It wasn’t so much that she was addicted to alcohol or drugs, it was just that she didn’t know how to cope with things in a healthy way. Part of that rehab program was yoga… While always a self-professed tomboy, Rachelle laughed at the thought of the practice, but once she hit savasana, she was hooked. For the first time in a long time, she found peace. Not long after rehab, Rachelle became a yoga teacher and eventually ended up taking a yoga training class in California. While living in Florida at time, she knew she needed to make the move permanently to California.  “It made no sense mentally, but my heart was telling me to go and I knew how to listen to that.” And speaking of listening to her heart, Rachelle always knew that she would visit Israel (the country where her parents meant). Six years ago, she made the trip, stayed for a month and it was everything she hoped it would be. She felt connected to her mother and while there realized the connection she also felt with the Hamsa hand necklace she received from a yoga friend. Having always been a conversation starter for soulful exchanges, it had followed her after rehab, to California and now to Israel. She knew was meant to play a bigger role in her life. Just like that, she started searching for stones in Israel (successfully). She wanted to create art and make connections – and she did. Rachelle didn’t have all the answers, but she just knew there was a great purpose for her. “I believed in the power of a product with a meaning that stood for something greater and the mission behind it.” Sure, there were a lot of nay-sayers. Having always been a little “different,” everyone thought it was just “one of those things” Rachelle was trying again. Rachelle had faith and trust though that things would work out because she was following her heart’s calling. “It’s trusting that I am a unique individual and my path isn’t supposed to look like anyone else’s.”  And thank goodness for that! It’s not to say that there haven’t been growing pains – both personal and business. We’re all constant works in progress. But when something does pop up, whether in the form of darkness, stress or anxiety, she’s learned to acknowledge it and confront it head on. “My anxiety is directly related to the levels of my self care and self love.”  Life happens and we have to find the little tools and/or rituals that calm our minds. Here are a few of Rachelle’s favorites: Get your feet on the ground (feel the earth underneath your feet). Breathing Movement – all forms. Yoga is one of her favorites, but she can call just about anything yoga as long as it’s approached with intention. Walking with her golden doodle Bailey (no phone, just being present). One day of rest (kind of like the Jewish tradition of Shabat).   Another important factor (and this is super important) is finding a tribe/community/sisterhood that has your back. It can be tricky if you’re from a small area and don’t have as big of a pool as L.A. But she promises that, “What you put out there is what you attract.”  So put yourself out there. Way outside of your comfort zone. Start by attending classes and introducing yourself to others. If you seem to click, schedule a time to have coffee… It’s all about using the network around you. And lastly, “dial, don’t file.” People don’t have the time for those who don’t follow through. Nurture your relationships. Does this mean you have to super close relationships with everyone? No! Find that smaller inner tribe who you know on a deeper level, that has your back and you can tell ANYTHING to. And above all, follow your heart. Follow your soul. Follow your bliss. *Stay tuned for a post in the hopefully very near future when our golden doodles (and us) have a dog date.   In This Episode You Will Learn: Jewelry Entrepreneur Finding rituals in your day to day Finding your tribe Success Following your soul   Resources: theneshamaproject.com Retreat info: theneshamaproject.com/yoga/ IG: @theneshamaproject FB: facebook.com/theneshamaproject   Checkout my website at loriharder.com.
