Podcast: EP 96 Alignment or Hustle? Let’s Talk

by | Mar 6, 2023 | Podcast, Success

I have an important message for you.

 

If you’re like me, you’ve seen a lot of coaching going around in the last year that preaches the power of alignment to manifest whatever you want. And I love that message. I believe in the power of alignment, meditation, and manifesting. But there’s somthing going on with this message that is getting twisted. And that’s when it leaves out the part about hustle.

In this episode, I gives some truth talk about the importance of effort, work, or hustle (whatever you want to call it) in making your dreams come true. It’s based on a natural law and nothing happens outside of natural law. So let’s change the conversation and speak the truth: our dreams come from alignment and hustle working together.

“You have to have effort. It’s natural law.”

    I cannot wait for you to hear from my new friend, Coach Dar.

     

    I met her when we were both speaking at an amazing event recently and within minutes I knew we were on the same page. I am so inspired and impressed with her story, her work, and her new book, and I was so happy to bring her on the show so you can hear from her as well.

    Podcast: EP 94 Permission to Offend with Rachel Luna

    Podcast: EP 94 Permission to Offend with Rachel Luna

    by | Feb 14, 2023 | Podcast, Success

    I recently met this firecracker of a woman and loved her message.

     

    When I met Rachel a few weeks ago when we were speaking at the same event, I knew I wanted to have her on the podcast so you could feel her light and learn from her wisdom.

    Rachel Luna is a Certified Master Neuroscience & Life Coach, international speaker, and host of the top rated podcast, Permission to Offend where she talks faith, worth and wealth. Forbes rated her one of the Top 11 Inspiring Female Entrepreneurs to Follow on Instagram (@GirlConfident) and her work, which goes beyond cliches, rah-rah speeches and platitudes and dives deep into the root of the issue, has been featured in Success, Latina, Huffington Post and on Lifetime TV. 

    Born and raised in New York City, Rachel, who calls herself, “A magnet for miracles,” comes from a life of resilience. Despite losing both her parents to AIDS, struggling with eating disorders in her teens and battling alcoholism and depression in her early 20’s, Rachel has never allowed herself to be limited by life circumstances. Instead, she persevered and when she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in the summer of 2019, Rachel tackled it the same way she does everything – with grit, tenacity, faith & confidence.

    These experiences, along with her decade of service in the United States Marine Corps and tour of duty in Iraq during Operation Iraqi/Enduring Freedom have given her the strength and ability to not only handle adversity, but to thrive in it. Her courses have helped over 3,000 women (and a few fellas) gain clarity, confidence and massive business growth, many of whom have crossed into six and seven figures with ease. Rachel has helped thousands of people around the world (over 90 countries to be exact) through her weekly podcast episodes, email newsletters, speaking tours, and workshops. 

    In this episode, Rachel shares the why and how behind speaking your truth and being kind at the same time. She teaches the important principles around owning your voice and strengthening your relationships through it.

    “Seek to understand instead of fighting to be understood.”

    Podcast: EP 91 The 5 Pillars of Health with Brooke Hemingway

    Podcast: EP 91 The 5 Pillars of Health with Brooke Hemingway

    by | Dec 7, 2022 | Podcast, Self Care

    Health is wealth. So let’s talk about it.

     

    Of all the success habits we talk about on the show, the one that sits at the top of my list is health. I invited my friend Brooke on the show to share some of the best tips that she has taught me about taking care of our bodies and our minds. It makes such a huge difference in all areas of life, and I know you’ll feel empowered by her insights on how to do this.

    Here’s Brooke’s story in her own words: “I spent 20+ years in the gym setting teaching classes from MMA style workouts to vinyasa flow.  I received my degree in kinesiology from SDSU in 2002 and pursued my love of movement, working in top gyms in San Diego and LA. During that time I decided to take my studies into medicine, receiving my BSN from Mt St Mary’s in 2005, and going on to become an ICU RN. After 10 years I felt my heart calling me back to WELLNESS. I respect medicine and those who work in it, but in reality it didn’t align with my philosophy on health and how to truly keep one out of the hospital.  I came full circle back into health.  Since 2015 I’ve been building a massive wellness business based off premium quality supplements that address root healing.  Gut health, insulin resistance, and inflammation are at the core of almost all health issues and symptoms that have you feeling tired, overweight, under motivated, and sick.  That’s where I focus by combining a customized supplementation system, simple lifestyle and food modifications, and mindset support.“

    In this episode, Brooke shares the powerful story of transforming her own relationship to her health, as well as her best tips to maintaining the 5 key pillars of health in your own life.

    “Health is wealth.”
