If you are an empath, even though you are a deep feeler, you most likely spend a lot of time soothing. This makes complete sense because your emotions are intense. You also spend much time in your comfort zone learning, reading, and being a student in some way, shape, or form. I know because I have been caught in the learning cycle instead of the feeling and taking action cycle. In this week's episode, I discuss

Judgment, Shame, and EntrepreneurshipHow is your entrepreneurial journey going? I know it can be a roller coaster full of emotions, moving out of your comfort zone and facing all the things you have tucked away nicely in your body/mind/soul. As we move through launching a business, scaling a business or simply moving through all the changes that happen in the rapidly evolving world, it is inevitable that you will face some judgment and/or shame. This impacts your ability to move forward and grow, so how does shame and judgment impact your entrepreneurial journey? And what can you do about it. Find out more in this week's episode of Aligned & Soulful Success. Here are some highlights: 

Consuming Vs. Creating as an EntrepreneurHow many hours do you work a day? Week? month or year? If you are an entrepreneur, there are the actual hours you work then there is the emotional/mental time you spend on your business. If your business is part of your purpose in the world - if it is a calling for you then I am willing to imagine that there are no set hours you work. Even though your work is part of your purpose, it is so important to consciously spend your time. It is so easy to work on autopilot, overwork, and burn out. If you want some tips on time management, then check out my episode on managing time as an entrepreneur. LINK TO EPISODEOne of the ways that I have found myself overworking is by consuming content instead of creating. Consuming content can show up as: 

How to Create Your Dreams and DesiresCreation is often called manifestation by some people. Whether you call it creation or manifestation is your preference, either way you can create your desires and dreams. If you have tried manifestation techniques, thinking positively, visioning and/or a Vision Board and nothing seems to be working for you, then this podcast is for you. I am not knocking a Vision Board, in fact I have a Vision Board Workshop Course that I offer, but the course is designed to go into our true self and your subconscious mind. Most of the time we create vision boards from what we think we want. Here are the key points from this episode: 

Have you heard the term "Bright Shiny Object Syndrome?" Is this something you are guilty of? I know I am.
