Danielle began down the path of spirituality in December 2017 when she watched the infamous documentary and gateway drug for so many of us, The Secret. She was immediately hooked and admits to feeling like "some sorty of disciple of this information". In November 2018 she officially launched her relationship coaching business, but it wasn't until May of 2019 that she realized that she was resisting the truth of who she was; a manifestation and mindset coach, transformational teacher and spiritual mentor. By this point though, she and her family had literally run out of money, run out of savings, run out of credit, and still had no income coming in. So she was forced back into the 9-5 world. She took a 1 year maternity leave contract so she could bridge the gaps around the resistance to her own success.  In May 2020, Danielle launched what is now her signature, high level, highly transformational group coaching program; Alignment U.  Since then Danielle has gone on to help, elevate and empower hundreds of women to regain their power, align to their true selves and expand into their full potential. They become a magnet for everything they desire and more!

I got a message that had a video in it and as I watched it I had goosebumps and KNEW I HAD to have this woman on my podcast.

Against all odds my guest this week went from the streets and prison to graduating with honors from the University of Washington.  She was introduced to drugs at the age of 6 and was a full blown addict by the age of 12.  Her story is incredible and she is one of the coolest women I have had the honor to interview.

This week I had the honor to interview Pam Millican. Best selling author, speaker, healer and all around bad ass survivor! A little about Pam in her own words... Many people would consider my early life a nightmare, it being one of abject poverty and constant abuse, with complete abandonment by my whole family at 15 1/2 years old. I came home to a completely empty house; everything I owned was gone.  While the torment and horror didn't stop there, I refused to let any of it destroy me. Their neglect became my source of strength and power. I did not allow their monstrous behaviour to define me. Instead I took my pain and suffering and used it, not only to motivate, but to drive me, and unleash the true badass and real power within me. Throu my books coaching and courses, I teach you how to feel truly empowered, by showing you how to unlock your own limitless potential, and become unbeatable too. I'll walk you step by step, through parts of my own story and share the tools and strategies I used on my life-changing path to shatter the negative beliefs dumped on my by others' wounded behaviour.  Through my story you wll understand that life happens FOR you, not TO you, and that you too can succeed with unrivaled determination and grit!

This week is SO GOOD! Please share if you know someone who has teens!  Today's teens have it tough, which means today's parents have it tough. Six short years ago my guest was a mom with three kids and NO clue how to help them navigate their world. She was frustrated and emotionally exhausted watching them struggle and couldn't find the balance between over and under parenting. It was like throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what would stick and they knew it. She wasn't able to be the confident leader her kids needed and it left her feeling like a failure as a parent. It was right about that time that she entered into the world of transformational coaching. It took her over a year to get certified and it was worth it. Her relationships with her children, family and friends improved with each skill she learned. She began helping other families repair their connections with their teens and she discovered that THIS STUFF WORKS! For the last 6 years she has never stopped learning and applying new skills and strategies to parentinig teens. She has so much gratitude that she has the experience of not only walking through the fire herself with her teens, and also help other families learn the new soft skills required to be emotionally fit and confident in this frightfully uncertain time. Please feel free to join her free facebook group or connect with her at the links below.  She has multiple programs to create unshakeable connections and confidence with your teens.

In film and television, Brianne most recently starred on the History Channel's "Six" (2016-2018). The ambitious drama followed Navy SEAL Team Six, whose mission to eliminate a Taliban leader in Afghanistan goes awry when they uncover a U.S. citizen working as a jihadist fighter with the terrorists. Brianne was a scene-stealer as "Lena," a teacher and wife of lead SEAL Team Six commander "Joe Graves" (Barry Sloane). Additional TV credits include: Netflix/FOX's "Lucifer," Hulu's "Casual," FOX's "Rosewood," HBO's "True Blood," and CBS' "The Mentalist." Brianne's first break in the business came with a small speaking role in the film "Remember the Titans" opposite Denzel Washington, Haden Panettiere, Ryan Gosling and Kate Bosworth. From there, Brianne went on to booking a role on the hit television show, "Dawson's Creek" (CW) and once graduating from high school, she made the decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. Brianne's first lead role in film came in 2005 with the blockbuster hit "Jarhead" where she starred opposite Jake Gyllenhaal.

This week I wanted to talk about a concept that has been the bane of my existence for YEARS. I have always subscribed to the "get shit done" mentality and get as much done at the same time and make sure you do more! This has led to burn out, stress, failure and more things than I can even begin to tell you about. So I wanted to share some tips and tricks to give you more "time" for you. I hope you find them helpful and I would love to hear from you. You can find me on the book of faces at www.facebook.com/julie.paulston  You can find me on the Instagram at www.instagram.com/divinephoenixrising or www.instagram.com/gr8ful4life  I currently have openings for 4 one on one clients who want to discover their path, purpose and how to let go of all the stuff weighing you down so that you can truly rise and reclaim your Divine inner phoenix!  Message me for details!

This week I have Evelyn Betances host of The Fab Chieftess podcast, Transformational Life Coach and owner of The Fab Chieftess Brand. She believes that many women long for fulfillment. They want to achieve their desires and in some way shape or form try to set their goals. They think that once they accomplish this, or get that, or find the right person...then and only then will they be happy and successful.  Most women don't realize that in order to obtain what they want they need to put in the work and establish their foundation. They don't understand that they have the power to create the life that they are longing for but only if they possess the proper toolset and mindset. Many women will never take the reins in their life and start controlling the narrative because they don't know where to start. This is where Evelyn can lead and guide you to the life you have always dreamed of and the strategic way to get there.  She is a certified life coach in  NLP-Neuro Linguistic Programming EQ- Emotional Intelligence Womens Empowerment Motivation, Mindset and Goal Setting. You can find Evelyn at the following links www.thefabchieftess.com You can find her podcast on Apple, Spotify and your favorite podcast venues.  

This episode was really hard to record. It is my personal journey with abortion, relinquishing my son for adoption and raising my middle son and how I became a foster parent.  A full circle of experiences.  This is not the full story but it gives you a good idea of what happened and why I am so passionate about allowing women to choose what is best for themselves. I already know that I am going to probably lose followers and that is ok. This topic is polarizing in itself and no matter your position on it, the conversation needs to be had.

**Trigger Warning** Domestic violence happens more than we can imagine and in homes we would never consider.  Women every day struggle to survive and their stories are heartbreaking and when they can leave and start the healing journey they are miraculous. Magen's journey is hard to listen to, yet, I think it is necessary.  To give a face to this epidemic that very few want to talk about and/or address. Children suffer from PTSD, hypervigilance to threats, disregulated aggression which can result in vicarious traumatization.  Women who have been abused suffer from PTSD, Guilt, Shame, Physical Disabilities, Fear and stay in the situation to protect their children and so much more.  The statistics are shocking. Women and children are dying at the hands of abusers every day.  This is one of many stories out there. The difference is that Magen got out, her abuser is in jail for the next 10 years. She was one of the lucky ones.  We need to do better as a society and we need to help our sisters, nieces, daughters, mothers and friends live a life without fear.

Oof...when we think of  "people pleasing" or "energy vampires" it can bring up so many negative connotations. It can trigger us and make us want to not look or to hide or to turn away. What we don't realize is that when we lean into those feelings, that this is where the magic is. When we have the ability to look at what our actions are and what would happen if we changed them. In this episode I share how important it is to protect our energy and how important it is to protect our gifts.
