Soul Craft Your Life

One of the hardest parts of the manifestation process can be the “gap” – between where you are now and where you want to be.But that gap is actually where we spend most of our life, while on the way to our dreams – so it's hugely important to not only enjoy that gap, but to thrive in it.And ironically, when we enjoy the journey, revel in the “gap” and love our life on the way to our dreams, that's what pulls our manifestation to us more quickly. So how do you revel in the gap and 100% enjoy the journey - without any “faking it til you make it?”In this episode, I go deep into my favorite strategies, examples from my own life, and ways to work with the universe and your subconscious.What I cover in Ep 29:The #1 thing your manifestation needs How to work with your subconscious and what it prioritizes What courage + authenticity have to do with manifestation My new favorite ritual that I've only started doing this year!Why you don't have to stress out about limiting beliefs How to go beyond co-creating with the universeLet's get you trusting the process, loving the journey, and never giving up on your dreams.I'm looking forward to hearing what resonates, what you think, and any questions – my inbox is always open. ✨

Episode 20 is all about How to Manifest QuicklyYes, it's me – I'm finally back! I know, it's been more than a minute since I've done a podcast. I've had some major changes in my life – but more on that in a separate podcast.Because of those changes, there's been a lot of uncertainty, many decisions to be made and new directions to take. The result? I've wanted to manifest quickly – in a lot of areas.So, I thought I would share in real-time with you what I'm doing, for when you too might go through a lot of upheaval in your own life. And let's be honest, to manifest more quickly – don't we all want to do that, no matter what? ;-)In this episode, I explain how to manifest quickly but without tipping over into desperation or “I need this!” energy -> not good for manifestation.

Episode 19 is all about Manifesting in Relationships!I just finished my 5-Day LIVE Create Your Dream Year 2023 Virtual Event (one of my favorite courses to deliver to date!) – and one of the most asked questions was, “how can I manifest in my relationships?”Understandably, if you're being opened up to the power of manifestation and co-creating your life, you would want to bring your loved ones on the journey – from your partner, kids, friends and collegues, right?And it can feel weird to have all this manifesting knowledge, but not be able to share, or do it in your relationships.

Episode 18 is all about how to use Energy + Intention for ManifestingHave you ever wondered which Manifestation Strategy is the most potent and effective? There are many techniques, but intention setting is one of my favorite because it's so powerful, and takes next to no time to do. And in today's busy world, who needs one more thing to do, right?In this episode I explain why intention setting has such a great ROT (return on time) and how it's a straight line to working direction with your subconscious and the universe. I also show you how to super charge your intention with a specific energy, and how you can set forces in motion to work for you, behind the scenes. And how to do in just 10-20 seconds per day!What I cover:Why + how intention setting worksThe best time to set your intentions The most powerful way to word your intentions How to 10x your intentions with a specific energyHow to get your subconscious + and the universe working for you behind the scenesWhy listening to your intuition is so importantThis is a really important episode for anyone that is just starting to explore manifestation, or on the other end of the spectrum – to master manifestation. Interestingly, it's often the simplest things that are often overlooked or not done. As the famous Jim Rohn always said, the easiest thing to do, is also the easiest thing not to do.But when you understand how powerful intention setting done correctly is, it becomes part of your identity and simply just what you do.

Episode 17 is all about Manifesting Your Dream Business with Leah BosworthI'm super excited about this interview because I've been wanting to bring you Manifestation Success Stories – case studies of normal people that we can all relate to who have manifested their dream businesses, relationships and/or life. Why? Because one of the quickest ways to manifest is to see and hear examples of manifestation – it expands what we think is possible for ourselves into a KNOWING that we can do it too. Leah Bosworth is our first case study and I chose her not only b/c she manifested her dream yoga studio in record time after attending my Soul Craft Retreat in Bali (fomerly known as Create a Life You Love Retreats), but also because of how she pivoted during COVID, and then the manifestation her business morphed into. So a little background – Leah is the founder and owner of Ironwood Yoga Studios and Ironwood Mills. She began studying yoga in 1997 while pursuing her acting career in NYC.In 2005, wanting to escape the harsh winters of NY, Leah followed her intuition and moved to the warm, arid desert of Pheonix, Arizona where she decided to focus on her passion — teaching. Little did she know she would become the owner of not only a yoga studio but also a woodworking company with her life partner Scott Mills. In less than five years she built two six figure companies simultaneously. At the beginning of the pandemic she pivoted to live streaming classes and filmed over 500 classes in four months. Ironwood Mills continued to stay busy so she turned her attention to growing the woodworking business. She is now bridging the two entities with her new program Yoga for Dirty Dummies. Yoga for blue collar workers or anyone who feels like they wouldn't be caught dead in a yoga class ;-)What we cover:The #1 way to manifest quickly Why our childhood gives us so many answersWhat meditation really doesThe important of making decisons, even when it's hardWhy you don't have to know HOWFollowing your intuition, especially when it doesn't make senseBeing ok with asking for helpThe power wayshowersLeah's interview is such a fun story of her manifestation journey and is filled with so many easy and doable tips and strategies – you'll be able to see yourself in her – and replicate her mindset and action steps to achieve your own dreams.

Episode 16 is all about how to thrive in business if you're an Introvert!I'm really excited about this subject because you might know this, but I'm an introvert – and a homebody to boot. I'm an introvert and I love business, entrepreneurship and people – all of which are not mutually exclusive.I'm also a big believer in leaning into our natural personality traits, AND learning strategies for managing what we're not naturally skilled at. So in this week's episode I'm sharing how to do both.Firstly, I'll nix any preconceptions that introverts aren't brilliant in business. Then, I'll give you my personal strategies for thriving in business and entrepreneurship.What I cover:Why being an introvert is a huge asset How to lean into your superpower(s)The 2 things that determine your success in business How to set yourself up for successEaseful Networking for the IntrovertBest conversation startersHow to not get interrupted or talked overThis is an important episode for introverts and extroverts because no matter where you fall on the continuum, half of our lives is usually filled with opposite kind of person or “vert” – whether it's our partner, boss, employee, team member, client, family member or best friend. Being an extrovert or introvert isn't better, we just need to understand how each human design works, and how and where it thrives. This episode will help you understand yourself and others better – which is hugely important for not just business success, but life success.Let's dive in.Head to https://www.carmenmarshall.com/16 for this Episode's Show Notes!Take the Soul Craft Quiz: https://www.CarmenMarshall.com/quizFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmen_marshallFor all my current offers: https://linktr.ee/carmenmarshall Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts"I love the Soul Craft Your Life Podcast!" -- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soul-craft-your-life/id1637209651 This helps me support more people -- just like you -- create a magical and fulfilling life.

Episode 15 is all about Reinventing Yourself with John MorrallI originally wanted to interview John about opening and creating a successful passion + lifestyle business – he's the owner Jetts Noosa, our favorite gym where we live in Australia.But when I sat down to have a pre-interview chat with John, I realized there's so much more to John's journey I wanted share. He's led an extraordinary life and is truly a master of reinvention with a unique attitude that has helped him pivot successfully, time after time.So some backstory – from highschool dropout, John created a successful career in hospitality and nightclub industry in Victoria. But after his life was threatened and fearing for the safety of his family, he knew it was time for a change. As a burley biker with earrings, tattoos and a pony tail, he then completely reinvented himself as an entry level salesperson for the music retailer Brashers and worked his way up to state manager for the whole of QLD, winning numerous retailing awards.Living the dream – he toured with the Rolling Stones, bought b-day presents for Celine Dion, travelled with the Brisbane Broncos – but in the midst of living the dream, his marriage broke down and he knew it was time for a significant change. So he left Brashers and bought a Harvey Norman Franchise, moved to Noosa and went from newbie franchise owner to building the most profitable store in Queensland. But while he was working less hours, his lifestyle still hadn't changed – he was still smoking a pack a day, was overweight, on anti-depressents, slept with a sleep apnea machine, and after a heart attack at 44, he knew it he needed a complete lifestyle overhaul. Which led him to the Biggest Loser – applying and getting accepted to Season 3 of the Biggest Loser in Australia, losing 47kg (103 lbs), keeping it off for over 14 years now – and now owning one of the successful gyms in Australia. And the rest I will leave for the interview!What we cover:When to reinvent and how to approach reinvention Listening to input even if it gets your back up, at first!Adapting AND staying true to yourselfWhat it's actually like being on Reality TVHow to use “unfairness” to motivate youTaking risks and backing yourselfReinventing the most important parts of youFinding your True Passion through reinvention I'm looking so forward to introducing John to you. He puts 100% into everything he does, really lives life fully, is present and has a huge heart – all of which you will feel during this interview.

Episode 11 is all about relasing 100 lbs (45kilos) and Clearing Limiting Beliefs. Julie Gasior has an amazing story of transformation – over the last 12 months, she has lost exactly 96.4 lbs (we're rounding that up to 100 lbs :)  But most importantly, she's kept it off, which is actually the harder, but most important part of lifestyles changes. So, Julie heard about my online nutrition program, SexyFit®, from a dear friend who said something that really stuck with her – without our health, our life is less than it can be.  And even though Julie had literally tried 15+ other programs and techniques with no success, b/c she trusted her friend, she decided to give SexyFit a try. Now, for those of you who many not be familiar with the SexyFit® Nutrition Challenge – its my online program of 10 years, that focuses on health as a lifestyle, not a diet, and has the huge side benefit of sustainable, permanent weight loss. Julie threw herself into SexyFit and I've had the absolute honor of seeing her transformation firsthand over the past year – through following the SexyFit 4 pillars, Nutrition, Proper Supplementation, Exercise, and Mind-Body-Spirit, and through doing the deep inner work to clear limiting beliefs and expand self-love. I know there are so many women and men that struggle to lose and keep off the weight, be healthy (which is so important for preventing degnerative disease) and most importantly to  feel great in your own skin.   I know Julie's journey will be inspirational for you – b/c she's really been there, and done it – after struggling with weight for so long. She is also a Intuitive Life Coach and her speciality is helping her clients clear their own limiting beliefs and expand self love.  What we cover: Where Julie was before SexyFit Her hesitancies about trying yet “another program” Deprivation, Dieting and Last Supper's! Why SexyFit worked – and how it's different than anything else out there The important of focusing on the physical and the spiritual at the same time Finding your own Why  The importance of clearing limiting beliefs Releasing attachments to food Moving emotions through the body 2 Core Beliefs that almost everyone needs to shift I'm looking so forward to introducing Julie to you – this conversation is really candid about the struggles of weight loss, what it looks and feels like – and what can make all the difference not only for your health, but for your emotional and spiritual well being.   Now let's dive into this important topic of creating vibrant health for your body and soul.

Episode 10 is all about Healing from Depression and Grief with Peter Nathaniel Lee This is a very special episode for me because #1, Peter is my husband #2 he has just published his first book, ‘Walk with Me' and #3 it covers topics that I think are really important to talk about openly – mental health, depression and suicide.  And, while this is a deep conversation, like the book, it's also full of hope, inspiration, synchronicities, following your heart and the magic of life.  So a little bit about Peter.  There have been 3 constants in Peter's life – the desire to travel the world, lovely deeply and the inescapable impulse to write about the two. At sixteen, to escape the confines of his youth, and in search of a great story, he joined the Royal Navy, where he travelled to many strange and exotic places in the company of honourable pirates, as he calls them.  Inspired by tales of backpacking, he left the Royal Navy and spent the next several years living out of a bag, wandering around Asia and South America. He lived in Ashrams, surf retreats, kung fu schools, shamanic treehouses, and on a sheep farm in New Zealand before returning to the UK to complete a degree in Creative Writing and English Lit. In 2010, Peter walked the Camino De Santiago, which inspired, ‘Walk With Me.' A story of adventure and spiritual awakening, it's also an up close and personal story of healing from grief and depression, and overcoming generational addiction.  Peter currently lives in-between Bali, Australia and the world with me, works as a Breath-worker therapist, entrepreneur (he co-founded and manages https://sacredlotuslove.com/ (Sacred Lotus Love®) – our online Gift Company), and freelance writer. He continues to explore life, inside and out, in the spirit of a pilgrim.  What we cover: Why Peter left everything and walked the Camino Burning down the barn to see the moon  Grief, unprocessed trauma + depression The impact of suicide on families Healing Generational stories – forward and back Dyslexia and being told you wouldn't make it as a writer Letting go of the critical teacher on your shoulder Living in Alignment with your dream Tips for how to get a book written  I'm looking forward to introducing Peter to you – to talk about these important topics, but also the process of a writing a book - especially if you have a book inside of you and have perhaps struggled with confidence in your ability to write it and get it out the world – this podcast is for you!

Episode 8 is all about Living a Life Less Ordinary with Phil & Penny Kirk. Phil and Penny are two of the most fascinating, heart-centered, and genuine human beings I've had the privilege of meeting and having in my life for the past 20 years.    They epitomize creating and living a life less ordinary – their years have been filled with the accumulation of experiences.  They've been professional athletes, coaches, parents of 3 musician sons, and business owners just to name a few titles – and by choice, they've moved 37 times in their 50 years of marriage in an ongoing quest for new adventure and letting go of attachment to “stuff”.   From NY to New Mexico, from farms to monasteries, from construction companies to manufacturing supplements, from owning The Abominable Snowman Lodge to building an international network marketing team, they have lived a rich and varied life with a combined 80+ years of experience in the pursuit of wellness, purpose and what truly matters in life.  I met Phil & Penny when I was researching what network marketing company I wanted to partner with, after selling my first NWM business.  Over the past 20 years, they have not only been the best sponsors and mentors I could have asked for, but they're also 2 of my favorite people in the world – because of their outlook on life, their wisdom, their hearts – and every time I talk to them they're up to something new, unusual, fun and mind-expanding.  What we cover: What created their seeking + adventurous nature Spiritual awakening of witnessing yourself – being the observer  Wanderlust and seeing the world as a person, not a tourist 5 Crucial Elements for Health  Eating for what you do + the environment you live in  Limitations of holding onto beliefs too tightly Using values + resonance for making decisions in your life Following your heart and curiosity  Cremation + Agora Monks in India How to have a lasting + connected relationship after 50 years How to handle recessions and what mindset to have I can't wait to introduce Phil & Penny to you as we explore what it means to create a life less ordinary in livelihood, experiences and a connected relationship of over 50 years.  Important – we got cut off ¾ the way through and had to finish recording the next day.  So next week Episode 9 will be the last ¼ so you don't miss any of their wisdom!  So don't be surprised when the interview just ends abruptly – that's exactly what happened and we'll start next week, where we left off.

Episode 7 is all about using Human Design to create aligned businesses + relationships with Human Design expert Eden Carpenter.   During Covid, a really good friend (Steve from Ep 1) recommended a free Human Design App (I'll put it in this episode show notes - carmenmarshall.com/7) and it resonated hugely.  I started using HD for decisions in my business and relationships – it helped me understand myself and others even more – and what the most aligned, soulful choice was for the life I wanted to create. Why I'm so excited to interview Eden is #1, I think Human Design is an incredibly powerful personal development tool that anyone can use (think of the best personality test x10) and get quick, but soulful results from, and #2, Eden explains HD incredibly well – she makes it easy and accessible. So a little bit about Eden. She's a leading expert in Human Design for all things Business, Manifestation, and Abundance. She first found HD when healing her relationship to money. After experiencing how powerful the deconditioning process can be (and we'll explain what that is) she decided to study HD deeply and help others in the same way.   She started her own HD coaching practice while completing a degree in nursing but left the field shortly after to run her rapidly growing business full-time. In three years she built a multiple seven-figure company that supports herself, her husband, and over twenty team members.  Her coaching certification program, digital courses, and transformational experiences have helped thousands of people align with their truth, trust their intuition, and share their gifts with the world.   What we cover: What Human Design Is Understanding your own magic and uniqueness How to HD can help you with decisions, building a team and in relationships Breaking Down the 5 Human Design Types What De-conditioning means and how to do How to know when you're in alignment  Regulating your nervous system Knowing yourself and developing deep self-confidence Stepping into the magic of your soul I can't wait to introduce Eden to you and explore Human Design with you – whether you're brand new to it, or love it as much as I do.

Episode 6 is all about Deliberately Designing your Life with transformational coach and facilitator Juliana Gambrell.  I'm really excited to bring you this interview because Juliana was my first, and favorite life coach of all time.  Specifically – she hugely impacted my life by helping me learn to know, and then speak my truth.  She also helped in the early years of intentionally designing my business, lifestyle and relationship.  Prior to coaching at the corporate level and one-on-one for the past 17 years, Juliana was a Self Expression + Leadership Program Seminar Leader for Landmark Education for 14 years. Her mastery and skills live in the relational fields – self with self, life and others – all so her clients can get to the heart of what truly matters in their experience of life.  Juliana is extremely gifted in how she empowers her clients, her ability to help you wordsmith your desires for life (language to reflect the authentic self), and the questions, frameworks and resources she brings to every coaching session – which you'll get to experience today. What we cover: What Deliberately Designing your Life means How to step into your Identity and who you want to be Developing self-trust Knowing and speaking your truth How to Self Coach  #1 Way to know if you are in alignment  Tips for Aspiring Coaches The connection between integrity and numbing out 5 Questions to ask yourself for Deliberate Living  There is so much gold in this interview - questions, nudges, tips, aha moments –  that I know will help you whenever you are on the journey of crafting your life.  Let's dive in.

Sacred Partnership is one of my top three values in my life.  So manifesting the right partner for me was high on my list of priorities – especially after the end of my thirteen-year marriage. It took me seven years of dating and three longer-term relationships (all of which taught me so much) to attract my beautiful partner Peter — who I met in Bali, on the dance floor!  Hint: doing more of what you love helps you call in the one. Finding your soulmate doesn't have to be hard — it should be fun and exciting. I'll be sharing what to do — and what not to do — in this episode, as well as how to work with the principles of manifestation. Strong desire can tip over into attachment – so I'll also dig into how to be clear and passionate about what you want, but without the attachment, so you don't push away the very thing you want to let in.  What we'll cover: The 5 most important things you can do to manifest your soulmate How manifestation actually works for attracting your dream partner (which will help you manifest in all areas of your life!) How to not carry baggage into your next relationship The power of knowing what you want, AND what you don't want Why understanding sex, energy, the masculine and feminine can help you attract the right partner How to magnetize your own energy and vibrancy Where to go, and what to do to attract your soulmate Best books and resources for calling in the one  I'm excited about this episode because a connected and soulful romantic relationship is important to many of us – so I hope this helps you, or someone you know, call in the one.

This Episode is all about creating connected relationships, and I have a super fun interview for you with relationship coach Russell Price. Russell (or Ruski as I've known him for many years – fun fact – we rent our beloved villa in Bali from Ruski when we live there) is a wonderful example of someone who really lives what he teaches.   He's studied and explored the dynamic of relationships deeply over the years – including opening the Australian College of Energetic Medicine and teaching a blend of bodywork, energy work, and modern psychology dedicated to helping people heal their mind, body, and soul.  Russell uses a unique, body-centered approach to relationships using Quantum Hypnotherapy – a beautifully effective tool (which we'll explain in the podcast) to release trauma, and Heart Alchemy – the practice of releasing old relationship patterns to cultivate safety and intimacy with your partner.   In this juicy interview, we cover a range of topics from – how to untangle from trauma, the cultural effects on relationships like the #MeToo Movement, Tinder, and Political Correctness – to important but simple strategies to deepen your relationships right now. What we cover: What is hypnotherapy and why it's so effective  Shifting the nervous system to make different choices Classic “mind loops” that prevent connection A relationship tool you can use right now Letting the love in that you want Navigating uncomfortable conversations Why your wound is often what you should be teaching  Cultural Effects on Relationships in the last 5 years from the #MeToo Movement, Men's Circles, Tinder, Gender Fluidity to Political Correctness Commitment + Safety versus Freedom + Variety Polyamary (yes, we go there!) Being emotionally vulnerable Reclaiming your own authenticity and loving yourself. This interview went by so fast – there are so many things to talk about!  I look forward to a Part 2 in the future, but for now, let's dive in.

You'll also notice how much more energy and inspiration you'll have in your day-to-day life when you focus on finding and then living your purpose. So let's start now! In this episode, I'll walk you through the 6 easy ways to find your purpose – including what I did for every step, with my own examples and purpose statements.

I have a really special guest for this Episode. Rick Cowley is the creator of VysionQuest, one of the most powerful personal, professional, and spiritual growth programs on the planet today – that helps successful entrepreneurs who are feeling lost to find their true path in life and work. I interviewed Rick not only because I'm a huge fan of his retreats and work, but because I wanted to talk about the very REAL fact that living our purpose is not always a straightforward or easy path. Rick himself battled leukemia at 21 and awakened to his purpose, but even for him, it still took him many years to run his first retreat, because, like all of us, he had his own doubts, limiting beliefs, and life distractions.   But now, 60+ retreats later, from Mexico to Bali to Australia, he has impacted hundreds of humans, including me — to center their lives around what they love, follow their inner guidance, and do what they are meant to do in their lifetime. In this episode, we'll learn what it is that helps you be able to fully step into your purpose and take a refreshingly honest look at what it means to live your purpose.  What we cover: Why discovering your life purpose is so important The 3 Big Purpose Q's Getting totally honest with yourself Why living your purpose isn't always a straight path The missing part of the puzzle in living your purpose What makes impossible dreams, possible How to overpower fear Using a “bridge” for your dreams What to do when you don't feel inspired How to start connecting with your inner knowing and purpose  Why we don't need more ideas, but rather to tune into ourselves I hope you can see yourself in Rick's journey, and feel inspired to go after your own dreams, regardless of any fears or doubts — because you're here for your own unique purpose — that needs to be expressed in the world.

Hello gorgeous souls!  Welcome to the first ever episode of The Soul Craft Your Life Podcast – I'm so glad you're here. I wanted to interview Steve as one of my first guests because of his very unusual life path from Bomb Disposal and Counter-Terrorism Expert – to Qi Gong Teacher and Spiritual Mentor.  Backstory:  Steve served in the British Army and Australian Defence Force for 24 years. Specializing in Bomb Disposal and Counter-Terrorism, he served from the rank of Private through to  Lieutenant Colonel.  After his military career, he owned a highly successful consultancy business supporting various Governments and Agencies.  After sustaining multiple injuries from his risk-intense job, including breaking his back twice, Steve was forced to retire early.  In incredible pain and unable to walk for a period of time, he went on a deep physical and spiritual healing journey for 8 years. Steve is now a completely healthy, vibrant, and gifted Qi Gong teacher and supports many in his community with wellness and mentoring. (He's also a passionate property renovator!) What we talk about: The fear of dying Why the fear of dying is only half of the story A unique antidote to fear Steve's different healing modalities during his 8 yrs of recovery and the #1 thing that made all the difference  Letting go of judgment  How your feelings connect you to the cosmos and the quantum field What it means to truly listen, and how to listen energetically  Moving from Doing to BE-ing Raising your frequency and co-creating with the universe Why looking for happiness can be a trap, and what to look for instead. Our peace, joy, and health is in our own hands Being a force for good Most importantly in this episode, through Steve's lived experience, we talk moving from Fear to Love – and the impact that has not only on us, but the entire world.
