Mind The Gap - Awakening with Stephanie Filardi

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie encourages us to stop worrying! For some of us, worrying is a constant companion. We worry about everything! We worry we are falling behind, we worry we aren’t doing life right. We worry about people we love or want to love. The list is endless. Ready for this? We even worry once our dreams come true! Stephanie shares how her recent dream come true of purchasing a beach house kicked up worry! The worry prevented her from feeling the joy and excitement. Crazy, right? Stephanie shares how worry is a distraction that prevents us from manifesting our dreams. Worry also prevents us from enjoying the results of manifesting our dreams. Makes no sense, friends! She invites you to shift your energy from worry to faith. As you do, your energy will attract the resources to help you get what you say you want. You deserve the BEST life has to offer. Stop worrying NOW. Get busy focusing your energy on what you want to create TODAY and take inspired action NOW. Let’s go!

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie invites you to pause. In the pause she asks you to let her know how you are doing. Maybe you’re doing amazing and seeing your dreams manifest. It’s exciting! Or - maybe you are stuck...and things don’t feel like they are moving. That’s not so exciting. Perhaps you find yourself somewhere in the middle... Whatever the case, you’re worthy of having your dreams come true. You matter! Let Stephanie know how you are doing: stephanie@yourmillionairecoach.com Let’s Go! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-the-gap-awakening-with-stephanie-filardi/id1473648351 https://plinkhq.com/i/1473648351 https://mindthegap.libsyn.com/

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie acknowledges, affirms, and reminds you — you are good enough!

In this week's episode, Stephanie reminds us to keep going toward our dreams. The difference between those who live their dream life, and those who don’t, comes down to not quitting! Stephanie shares how on the path to creating what we say we want in life (epic love, amazing career, beautiful home, fabulous family, spiritual freedom etc...!) sometimes we want to quit/stop/give up when it feels “too much”. She explains why this happens (it’s normal!) and how to keep taking small actions. She reminds us we are all worthy — and we all deserve to live the life of our dreams. Remember - Quitters never win and winners never quit. We got this!

In this week's episode, Stephanie interviews special guest Makenzie Evangelisto to talk about what it means to truly take a leap of faith in the direction of your dreams.   Makenzie shares her journey of working hard to get her "ideal" job in wellness at a hospital to realizing the job was in fact not ideal and was not making her happy!   In this heartfelt conversation, Makenzie shares how she took a leap of faith by leaving her job -- in order to align with work that is truly fulfilling and supports the lifestyle she wants.   We discussed everything from emotions that arise (fear/guilt) when we go off the "traditional/safe/expected" path to money matters and staying the course. Makenzie is refreshing to listen to! She is a living example of someone dedicated to personal development and serving others by teaching them through her own journey. Makenzie understands the value of commitment, getting support, and enjoying the adventure of life!  Makenzie reminds all of us to "pay attention" to the signs when uncovering your "bliss" and reframe "no/rejection" as the universe's way of re-directing you to your highest calling. Why do we resist so much???   Profound and lighthearted, this discussion will inspire you to get started, keep going, and remind you that you are not alone. Many people have taken leaps of faith, and when you surround yourselves with others who have done / are doing what you want to do, you succeed!   To connect with Makenzie, email her: Makenzie.Evangelisto@gmail.com and find her on IG @MainlyMakenzie BIO Makenzie Evangelisto, is founder & owner of Makenzie |W|holistic Health. Makenzie has an undergrad degree in exercise science and is currently pursuing her masters in applied clinical nutrition.

Makenzie empowers individuals to take back their health through real food that speaks directly to your ancestry and supports food autonomy.

In this week's episode, Stephanie talks about a topic that all of us have encountered in one way or another - depression. It's real and can affect anyone.  In our culture there is still a lot of shame, secrecy, and even fear around depression. With suicide rates on the rise and continued uncertainty in our world it is vital we speak about this topic. In real and honest terms, Stephanie shares ways we can bring more awareness to this topic and how it's a very normal thing to feel depressed at one point or another in our life.  When depression hits, we may feel powerless, helpless...hopeless. We are scared, confused, embarrassed and feel alone. By addressing how we are feeling, and then accepting it, we regain some power. With this power comes our ability to choose to reach out for help -- which gives us an opportunity to deal with it and move beyond feelings of helplessness. By feeling and dealing, we activate the healing --> process as we move forward slowly. As we make progress, hope is slowly restored. Let's work together to bring healing to our world. It starts with us. Let's Go! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-the-gap-awakening-with-stephanie-filardi/id1473648351 https://mindthegap.libsyn.com/

In this week's episode, Stephanie interviews special guest James Kennedy to talk about what it means to really let go and take a leap of faith when making significant life choices. He ought to know about having faith --- in addition to being an outdoor enthusiast, he is also an Emergency 1st Responder, NCAA Coach, and Professional Rock-Climbing Instructor to name a few... In this eye-opening conversation, James shares about his decision to take the path less traveled - and a leap of faith when he and his wife decided to build a tiny house (300 square feet!) in the mountains to raise their 2 kids. Be sure to watch the video as he gives us a tour! James talks about what it really means to let go and face our fears in order to follow the beat of our own drum. He shares many "gold nuggets" of wisdom that include feeling the fear and doing it anyway. His approach to life is refreshing - he demonstrates what it means to walk in faith and focus on things we can control, rather than things we can't. Perhaps what Stephanie loves most about James is his ability to hold space for others to let go, be themselves, and discover what path works for them. When she met him a few weeks ago he was leading an outdoor adventure that put her face to face with a fear of heights + letting go -- when she jumped off a platform 50 feet from the ground in the middle of the woods. The whole time, Stephanie was literally shaking with fear and he allowed her to feel the discomfort -- to "stew in the soup" so to speak. James didn't force her to make the jump -- or make her feel bad about her choice if she decided not to. He accepted her fear and even the possibility that she wanted to back out.   Stephanie ended up making the jump -- one of the most terrifying experiences of her life. His ability to create safe space and also let her "be" was powerful. It was a reminder that whether we are jumping off a platform, or walking into a room of strangers, we all face fear. Accepting fear is part of life. It's what we do with the fear -- let it stop us -- or use it to move us forward - that gives life meaning. No matter what you are facing in life - you will want to tune into this inspiring episode! It's rich and enlightening in the best way. To connect with James, you can reach him at: jken0606@gmail.com or on IG @mrfitjc

In this week's episode, Stephanie reminds us - You Gotta Love Yourself! What is love? It’s everything! She shares an exercise on self love you can do to reveal the parts of yourself that are hard to love. Why? The parts of ourselves that are hard to love - keep us in a state of suffering. When we learn how to love all parts of ourselves, we thrive. A prosperous life starts with loving yourself, unconditionally. You deserve it! Let’s go. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-the-gap-awakening-with-stephanie-filardi/id1473648351 https://mindthegap.libsyn.com/ Special acknowledgement to Haddaway et al.

In this week's episode, Stephanie reminds us to relax! Easier said than done, we know. Yet essential. You may be thinking - How can I possibly relax during such challenging times? Guess what!? You can! Building on the previous episode - letting go - we can choose to relax when we let go and have faith in the unfolding. Stephanie shares tips - both big and small - on how to add more time for relaxation into daily life. She also discusses how she engages with technology and social media these days - two areas that cause stress for many of us. She invites you to slow down, unplug and really listen to this episode. You can even treat it as part of your relaxation time. Keep up the great work. We got this.

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie reminds us that both the energy — and results we desire happen as a result of our ability to let go. She explains how letting go (Step 8 and the last step in the process of manifestation, episode 58) isn’t about being apathetic or indifferent. Quite the opposite. Letting go is about having faith and belief. It's about consistently working to build this faith and belief. When we follow the steps of manifestation and then let go - we ALLOW the universe to give us what we want OR something BETTER. Re-read that. Or something better. When all is said and done, you gotta let go. When we micromanage or control the outcomes, which many of us do by forcing and resisting, we actually close off infinite possibilities that may be even better than what we are asking for. Re-read that. Stephanie shares her experience of letting go as she was transitioning from the corporate world to owning her own wellness business. She never would have imagined all the amazing things that have happened as a result of her letting go of specific outcomes. Stephanie reminds us that letting go isn’t easy — yet it’s the only way to experience freedom and truly get what we say we want, OR BETTER.   You deserve to be happy. You deserve to experience everything your mind can imagine and your heart can desire. You gotta let go! Let’s go. Call this week's sponsor, Tax $avvy at (845) 313-8648 and ask for Tina.

“I finally figured out that the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.” -Rita Mae Brown   Happy New Year!  We made it.   In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie wants to inspire you to kick off 2021 HAPPY.   Why?

You deserve to be happy.   In this episode, Stephanie explores what it means to choose happiness, and how to actually do it while facing real life "challenges and obstacles" that arise.   She also discusses how our mental conditioning (negative thoughts) often create unhappiness by keeping us in resistance to what is thereby leaving us feeling stuck and dis-empowered.   Life is short.

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie reminds you —You Got This! As we enter the final week of 2020, wow — congratulations for showing up, again. You are doing great, you’re unstoppable, and you got this! This week Stephanie shares what happens when we believe so strongly something is true, and then find out... it isn’t. Think North Pole.  What happens when our firmly held beliefs turn out to be simply not true? Our whole world gets rocked!    Why? Our beliefs inform our thoughts... and our actions — and this creates our life. Beliefs are everything.   Stephanie encourages you to use this time of year to reflect on your beliefs and see what serves you...and what doesn’t.   You deserve all the dreams you can see and feel - that’s why they are there! Now you gotta believe.   You’re doing great, you’re Unstoppable, and you got this. Believe me?

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie reminds you — you’re unstoppable! It’s been quite a year, and if you are reading this... you made it! You keep showing up! You are unstoppable! Well done. As we close out 2020, Stephanie shares a simple practice of “feeling and dealing” to keep you on the path to living your dreams as we prepare to welcome 2021. She explains how **effectively** dealing with emotions (they are a 6th sense!) will allow us to take inspired action instead of derailing us or keeping us stuck. You’re doing great and YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE.

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie shares the gift of her frustration being sick for five days. ***Make sure you listen until the end as she has a very special first time coaching giveaway.*** Stephanie shares how for those of us who experience being controlling and action oriented (i.e. her!) — not feeling well is usually a miserable experience / waste of time etc. In her frustration, she realized her “attachment” to being a very healthy person - attached both to the image of herself and the emotions generated by always feeling “good”, she was making a bad experience worse! (Caught in that negative spiral one could say...) As always, Stephanie eventually used the opportunity to ask “what” is the lesson here? And there is one! A recurring one :) She chose to focus on the question “WHAT is the lesson here” instead of “WHY is this happening to me”. When we overly focus on “why” we get caught in the analytical / judgment / victim experience which is counterproductive when we already feel like sh*t. When we ask “what is the lesson”...we shift a negative experience into a positive one — which is the secret of life really. The lesson? She is doing great, and so are YOU! That was the message of “being sick”. It’s easy to beat ourselves up, focus on what’s wrong / missing when instead we can be learning a valuable lesson! Or be reminded of one that keeps repeating, thank you very much. As we close out the year, Stephanie encourages you to reflect on how great you are - not “ego” great - but more like, what are 3 things you are truly proud of this year? You’re Doing Great! Let’s Go!

"Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life." -Rumi   In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie had the privilege of interviewing Taylor Mills, founder Eithera Brand (see BIO below). In an eye-opening conversation they discuss how gratitude and appreciation are the keys to accessing your abundance (aka all the things you say you want)!   On the path to manifesting your dreams you will encounter countless opportunities to tap into the source of abundance. When you do, it's as if a whole universe has opened up for you -- helping move you toward that which you want.   Magic? Partly. The other part is how we "show up" mentally, emotionally...energetically to be a magnet for what we want. We discuss the secret ingredients to becoming this magnet for abundance in all areas of your life!   Especially these days when it feels like having gratitude is the hardest thing to do, Taylor explains how a grateful attitude gives out a high vibe...attracting all the goodness life has to offer. She shares her personal experience of how being in gratitude and appreciation creates situations for success.   The gratitude + appreciation formula can be applied to any area of life: health, finances, relationship, life purpose.   You will also learn practical tips for starting and/or enhancing your daily gratitude practice to bring alignment to your inner & outer state (i.e.: to attract what you want).   Hint: When you commit to a gratitude practice, you will become a magnet for what you are grateful for.   Watch, Listen & Share Your Success Stories with us at: stephanie@yourmillionairecoach.com   About Taylor Taylor is the founder and designer behind Eithera, a wellness brand that explores energetic and spiritual practices and support through the lens of the seven chakras.

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap, Stephanie takes us deeper into Step 8, the final step of the process of manifestation - letting go (Episode 58) - to help you free up energy to receive! Why does letting go matter? The universe has much larger plans than our brain can compute. We must be open to see and receive them.   Stephanie shares her story of how when she finally let go — she was married 3 weeks later in the most incredible place with the most beautiful, romantic ceremony. It had been her burning desire for 2 years to be married!!!   The previous 7 steps, when worked consistently and repeatedly, build the foundation that will bring our wants/desires to fruition. When we master these steps, letting go comes naturally.    Remember, letting go and releasing our hold isn’t about giving up. Letting go is about believing it’s possible, putting in effort, making room and enjoying the process.   Share your success stories with me at: StephanieFilardi.com.   Let’s Go! You deserve all the magic life has to offer.     Edited and produced by Rich Masotti. Copyright 2020 Stephanie Filardi and Rich Masotti.

In this week's episode, Stephanie takes us deeper into Step 6 of the process of manifestation - plan your way (episode 55) - to help you understand the importance of having a plan.   Why is this important? Many of us say we want a better relationship, financial situation, health status, meaningful career, etc., yet we lack a plan to make it happen. Then when we don't get the results we want; we make up stories about why not...   The truth is - when we fail to plan, we plan to fail. The plan doesn't have to be perfect - we simply must have one.   In this episode Stephanie shares the plan she created one year ago and how all of it has happened!   Ever notice how sometimes we spend more time planning a party or vacation then we do creating a plan for what we want to have in our life? We have it backwards. When we invest time in a plan for our life, the rewards will be great.   Be prepared to get inspired and take action today! One year from now, you will be glad you did.   For support, connect with me at: https://www.stephaniefilardi.com/activate   Breathe! Let's go.

In this week's episode, Stephanie takes us deeper into Step 5 of the process of manifestation - play your brain (episode 54) to help you nurture the seeds of your dreams and desires. This is all about using your imagination to attract what you want.   Why is this important? The brain doesn't know the difference between a real event or an imagined one. For example, have you ever recalled a memory from the past and it feels like it's happening again in your body in the present? This is why!   Emotions are powerful! In this episode Stephanie shares an "imagining your outcome" practice to show you how to use your emotions in the present moment to create what you want in the future. When we fully connect to our feelings they lead us, guide us and direct us to take action on the things that will make events happen. Pretty cool.   We get into being, doing and having what you have declared you want.   For support, connect with me at: https://www.stephaniefilardi.com/activate   If you like what you hear, please share and subscribe! Thank you.

In this week's episode, Stephanie takes us deeper into Step 4 of the process of manifestation - train your brain - to help you uncover your gifts and prosper from them!   Why does this step matter?   By bringing together your knowledge, which includes: life experience, training, and your support system -- you get clear (and confident!) about what you have to offer...and also where the gaps exist. Once you get clear, you can capitalize on your knowledge and enhance it - to get what you say you want.   Why capitalize? The word capitalize in this sense means to gain by turning something into an advantage. You are turning your knowledge into an asset that will help you manifest your dreams. In this episode Stephanie shares 3 questions for deeper exploration to assist you in seeing what your gifts are and where you may need additional skills or support (the gap).   As you answer the 3 questions, make sure you do not minimize anything that comes up. For example, often the things that we are good at and come easily are keys to our innate talents...our gifts. We are all born with unique gifts!   As you cultivate your knowledge, feed it, grow it, give attention to it, you will capitalize (aka benefit) from it. Win/Win!   Enjoy the process and reach out for support at: www.StephanieFilardi.com/activate Let’s go! You deserve it!

In this week's episode, Stephanie takes us on a journey to clear negative thought energy. Why is this so important? As she shared in episode 51: Tame Your Mind - also Step 3 in the process of manifestation - when you are up to big things, you will encounter negativity. Whether it’s other people saying “you are crazy” or simply absorbing the negative energy of people or situations - you must learn how to become aware of the negative energy you are holding and then clear it. If you don’t, you will fail to achieve your dreams. In this episode Stephanie leads us through a simple clearing technique to help you get back on track. Remember, what you give attention to - energizes (grows). As such, negativity creates more negativity. The reverse is also true and that is the good news - positivity creates more positivity, i.e. focus on and energize the positive. Let’s clear the negative and get back to the path of positivity which will support your prosperity! For support, reach out at: www.StephanieFilardi.com/activate Let’s go! You deserve it!

In this episode, Stephanie dives deeper into step two of manifestation - belief feeds desire (episode 50) to help you uncover your limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs hold us back. They live in our subconscious mind and prevent us from starting or staying the course. They keep us stuck in patterns and prevent us from making lasting change. Many of us don’t even know what our limiting beliefs are!! If we want to manifest our dreams, we must know what beliefs hold us back so we can deal with them. Meaning, we uncover them and replace them with new empowering beliefs that align with what we are creating. Makes sense right? In this episode Stephanie shares the 3 main categories of limiting beliefs. She then shares 5 writing exercises to help you uncover your limiting beliefs. To support you, she is offering a FREE guided meditation designed to help you uncover and release your limiting beliefs. Take advantage of this very special offer by emailing her: stephanie@yourmillionairecoach.com You’re worth it! Let’s go!

What do you REALLY want? Do you know? Many people don’t know what they want and/or what makes them truly happy. When we don’t know— we manifest more of the “unknown”. Clarity is essential in getting what you want. Clarity is essential if you want to be happy. In this episode Stephanie dives deeper into step one of manifestation - burning desire (episode 49) to help you discover what you REALLY want. She shares 5 writing exercises to help you uncover what you want in this lifetime. Specifically, you will journal on what you want to DO, who you want to BE, and what you want to HAVE. Be-Do-Have! Keep in mind that oftentimes in life we realize what we want by experiencing what we don’t want! This will be covered too. For example, let’s say you don’t want to experience loneliness. Great! This is a pointer to what you do want — connection. When you know what you want, you can go about making it happen. You deserve to get what you want and be happy! Invest the time in yourself, without censor or concern about “how”. Listen, write, repeat. Reach out for support at www.stephaniefilardi.com/activate

In this weeks episode Stephanie dives into Letting Go — step 8 and the last one in the process of manifestation. What do you mean letting go!? Inherent in your burning desires are the mechanics for their fulfillment. Meaning, if you can see it, it’s possible. This is all about allowing your faith to lead you. It’s about working the steps and then paying attention to what is being shown to you. It’s about being open to tweaking your plan, and having an outcome that’s even more amazing than you originally desired! Divine intelligence has far more opportunities in store for us than our limited mind can imagine. We must let go to be able to “listen”! Stephanie also explains how letting go does not mean to stop taking action. Action is the foundation of all manifestation. She discusses how each of the preceding steps (when followed!) puts us in a position to let go and receive the divine wisdom available for us. If you’re ready to manifest, apply for an activation session with Stephanie at: www.stephaniefilardi.com/activate

We are made of time and energy. Creating and committing to healthy habits helps us manage our energy and speeds up the time it takes to manifest our burning desires! Healthy habits help us stay the course. They support us being persistent (persistence is step 7 in the process of manifestation - Episode 56). In this episode Stephanie talks about healthy habits for body/mind-emotions/spirit. She shares her favorite habits in each area and gives examples of how and why healthy habits are essential for bringing forth your burning desire. You deserve to live the life you desire. Believe it. See it. Feel it. Act on it. Connect with Stephanie for a pathways coaching session to speed up the process at: StephanieFilardi.com/activate Let’s Go!

Persistence pays off on the path to manifesting your burning desires. It pays dividends too. :) In today’s episode I speak about step 7, persistence!!! As you embark on the plan to bring forth your burning desires (discussed in last week's episode) you begin to take action. Some actions are effortless and give you the results you want. Some actions feel like a struggle and you hit what seem like “roadblocks”. When you find yourself in struggle, it’s time to dig deeper within yourself. Persistence keeps us on track by showing us what we are learning and where we are growing. In some cases persistence will reveal to us it’s time to adjust the plan. Whatever the case, stay persistent! Remember, quitters never win and winners never quit. Ready to manifest your desires? Take advantage of my pathways session to support you in creating a plan at: www.stephaniefilardi.com/activate

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. One of the best pieces of advise I received from my mother at age 13 when I started my first business, “Save at least 10% of everything you earn”. I did exactly that and it has served me well in planning my life and navigating the many “pivots”. And still at times I have been resistant to creating a plan. Why is that? Planning! Essential in bringing forth your burning desire and step 6 in the process of manifestation. In this episode Stephanie shares her journey from being resistant to having a plan — to how she and her fiancé created a 12 month financial plan to buy a home. She shares why it’s important to plan and what you can do NOW to begin the process. The plan doesn’t have to be perfect - you simply must HAVE one.

In this episode Stephanie shares Step 5 in the process of manifestation — play your brain. Everything in existence started with a seed...an idea.

The seeds are your ideas - and what you imagine / visualize. Stephanie talks about how you can connect with and grow these seeds. Follow your instincts.

This episode was recorded back in March when the "fit" first hit the "shan". Since then both Stephanie and the show's editor/producer have experienced personal loss and have needed some time to process. This content was arranged now for a couple of reasons: 1. We can all use a laugh, including our beloved Stephanie and 2. As a preview to the upcoming episode on Navigating Death. To hear the rest of this interview in its entirety, revisit Episode 36.

What is possible in the gap?   In this week's podcast Stephanie shares how the space of the gap (the space in between/the unknown) is often something we fear. However, it is exactly in the space of the gap where pure potential resides. Meaning, as we befriend the gap/the unknown we realize it is an opportunity to focus our efforts on creating what we want.   What if instead of fearing the gap we celebrated it? What would be possible in our life?   The paradox: What we are afraid of is exactly what we need to get to the next level in our life.   It's time to step into the unknown with wonder, awe, and a sense of possibility!!  Let's go.   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-the-gap-awakening-with-stephanie-filardi/id1473648351

Challenges are part of life. We have all experienced them. Right now some of us are facing the biggest challenges of our life. Being home many of us have much more time in relationship. Often this brings to the surface the challenges we’ve been “too busy” to deal with. Sometimes those challenges are with ourselves! We live alone and have to deal with ourselves. Some of us are faced with ourselves in relationship and also with those we live with! Whatever the case, it can feel overwhelming at times yet we have “nowhere to go”...except inward. :) These challenges/obstacles show us what we have to learn and where we have to grow. So, what if we use this time to hone skills? What if we decide to use the challenges as a gift? To nurture the inner garden. To be willing to see truth. To deepen relationships. To experience the freedom that comes from resisting nothing? When we are willing to embrace the obstacles as opportunities to awaken...we slowly start to live the life of our dreams. Tune in! Let’s go. Copyright 2019-2020

As we continue to navigate life during this Covid pandemic, stress levels are very high for many. With no “end” yet in sight, some of us are experiencing such high levels of stress and anxiety we are unable to function. We may feel the nervous system responding in fight, flight, or freeze. In some cases we are having panic attacks. If you have never had a panic attack, they can be very scary, feeling like a heart attack. In this week's episode Stephanie discusses the value of having a presence practice to help manage anxiety. She shares exactly what “to do” and how to navigate this time with as much ease as possible. Please Listen and Share. Wishing you peace and positivity. Copyright 2019-2020

The only way out...is in!!!   As we continue to navigate life during these uncertain and challenging times, some of us will embrace the opportunity to go deeper inside ourselves.   As we go deeper within, we learn how to cope with circumstances outside of us that are beyond our illusion of control. If we resist going within, we also resist learning new ways of being that will support us when we need it most. We will suffer.   In this mind opening and honest episode released a few months ago, Stephanie speaks about "spiritual awakening" and how it relates to what is happening right now "outside" of us.    How can we use the challenges we all face with this pandemic to go within and ultimately wake up to a life we WANT TO LIVE?   Please take the time to listen.

As we navigate this time of uncertainty and deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us are experiencing VERY high levels of stress. Stress leads to suffering. This suffering shows up in our minds -- negative thoughts - and in our emotional body -- as fear and anxiety.   We are not used to experiencing this level of suffering on a "collective" scale. We are being impacted on all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, financially.   We see people dying. We are losing lives, jobs, income, health, security, safety, hope...control.   How can we cope? What will support us today and moving forward in staying sane and positive?   In this episode ironically recorded a few months ago, Stephanie speaks to what is happening right now and how we can deal with the reality of suffering.    Please take the time to really listen and apply the wisdom to your current life. Share the episode with others. Discuss it together and support one another.     If you want additional support I am offering virtual sessions so please email me: stephanie@bronxvilleness.com   http://mindthegap.libsyn.com/   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-the-gap/id1473648351?ls=1 Produced by Rich Masotti.

What if we believed, 100% of the time, that ALL experience happened "for" us and not "to" us? Can you say FREEDOM?!   In this episode Stephanie interviews guest Ryan Astheimer, spiritual life coach and enlightenment "guru" to uncover the deeper layers of ego and how what is happening right now with the Covid-19 pandemic is exactly what will help us "awaken"... if we choose to see it as such. Awaken meaning -- growing in awareness --- so that we see and understand without a shadow of a doubt how to trust life itself and move beyond fearful/anxious ways of being...and living.   Ryan is wise, kind, inspiring, loving, enlightened -- and his sharing is like a meditation in itself - so heartfelt and peace filled. The energy he transmits as he speaks is healing in itself. It was a joy to be in his presence and you will "feel" it when you listen.   We dive deeper "ego" and the ways (think fear/control) it keeps us stuck in suffering. We get real about what enlightenment is...and what it is not. We talk about how to navigate this challenging time in such a way where we learn, grow, and emerge healthier and more peaceful. Imagine that? It's possible.   If you are interested in contacting Ryan, email him at r.astheimer@yahoo.com.   Listen in. Share it. Discuss it. LIVE IT.
