We all have a purpose in life, and the only way to truly bring that purpose to life is by taking action.  We can be inspired by the stories of others, but if we don't take the steps to make our dreams a reality, then we won't experience the impact that we are meant to have.  In this solo episode, I'm discussing how to not let fear take over and the value of being true to yourself.

When it comes to achieving our goals and dreams, one of the most important things we can do is seek out community support. Although it can be intimidating to reach out and ask for help, it is essential to our success. Having a supportive community around us can make a world of difference in our ability to achieve our goals. The importance of community is something my guest, Lauren Cosgrave learned.

She spent 11 years in the US Navy, she's a mom to two young girls, knitting queen, and currently works at Google in the San Francisco Bay area.

In life, it can be difficult to understand and recognize our truth and desires.  We often get stuck in our everyday routines and forget to take a step back and reflect on what we truly want. However, it is essential to take the time to recognize our truth and desires in order to live a fulfilling life. My guest today, Dynasty Taylor, found that one way to recognize her truth was to embrace the darkness. The darkness isn't meant to be scary, but rather a place of clarity. Dynasty is a service-focused Social Worker and Program Director with a strong commitment to serving the needs of disadvantaged youth and adults, including homeless, emancipated youth, and special needs populations. Dynasty is a  locally known African American Social Worker (ACSW) born and raised in South Los Angeles.  Dynasty graduated from Dorsey Miller High School, Cal State Northridge, with a Bachelors in Sociology minor in Criminal Justice, and the University of Southern California with a Masters in Social Work concentrating on families and children. At the age of 23, she became the CEO and Founder of a (501c3) community-based non-profit organization called Dynasty's United Youth Association that has provided free educational, career, and mental health programming to at-risk youth ages 5-18 for the past nine years.

Everyone has a creative spark within them, but sometimes it can become dimmed or forgotten.  We can reignite our creative spark by being mindful of where it has dimmed and allowing ourselves the space to reignite it. We can also give ourselves the space to explore our creative passions, whether that be painting, writing, or any other creative activity. My guest today, Lisa Maberry is a mixed media artist, mother, and human resources professional living and creating in Seattle, Washington. Self-taught, painting has always been a place for her to return to in times of transition or when the demands of work and life began to cause a disconnect. As her work evolves with the seasons, she finds comfort in sweeping landscapes and the rest that comes with a smaller value range. Botanicals, vegetation, still life, and architectural landscape satisfy her curiosity in the interaction of light and shadow- while personal subject matter brings meaning and gratitude to her practice.  In this episode, you will learn the following: Finding a creative outlet How to explore your creativity The power of creating Links and Resources:Sign up for the Life Activated Course: https://lifeactivated.marirobertslife.com/enroll Connect with Mari: https://www.marirobertslife.com/ Follow Mari on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marirobertslife/ Send Mari a message on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariroberts/ Learn more about the Life Activated Podcast: https://www.marirobertslife.com/podcast Connect with Lisa: https://linktr.ee/lisamaberryart Check out Lisa's art: https://www.lisamaberry.art/

She obtained her Master's of Social Work and a Bachelor's of Arts from the University of Washington in Seattle.

In this first episode, I talked about my story of learning about my gifts and truly believing in myself. I started having psychic experiences as a child - either seeing visions or having reoccurring dreams. I never told my family about these experiences, but they were always with me. When my father passed away, I had a knowing that he was okay. This was the beginning of my journey to understanding my psychic gifts. I started researching coaching and shadow work and realized that I wanted to help others who were struggling as I had been. This was a turning point for me - I realized that my gifts were real and that I could use them to help others. "We think our gifts have to show up in some kind of major way. It can just be a slow burn. It could just be an unfolding. It doesn't have to be something fancy.” In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How a person's astrological sign and human design type can help them understand themselves better 2. What it's like to be a highly intuitive person, and how that can manifest in different ways 3.
