We're diving into what it actually looks like to move through those visibility edges, regulate your nervous system, and keep showing up powerfully. I break down how I'm personally moving through a visibility edge & the main things that support me when criticism is taking place after bravely sharing your story or a personal truth.When your voice gets bigger, so does the resistance, both internal and external. But here's the thing: the only way to lead boldly is to expand your capacity to be seen & misunderstood, and still remain rooted in your embodied truth. Let's get into it.

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 3, 2025 44:03


    What's up, gorgeous soul? Today, we're diving deep into a conversation that will shake up everything you thought you knew about identity evolution. Because let's be real, when life hands you a massive shift, it can feel like the ground beneath you is crumbling. But what if instead of resisting it, you fully leaned in? If you've ever felt like you're stuck in a loop of entertaining old patterns, playing small, or clinging to an outdated version of yourself, this episode is your wake-up call. We're talking about stepping into the bigness of your next chapter, releasing what no longer serves, and expanding your capacity to hold the success, joy, and expression you truly desire. Let's go! In This Episode 00:00 – Welcome to the show & the power of identity shifts. 03:10 – When life forces you to evolve; leaning into the discomfort. 07:45 – Why you already know what you need to do (and what's keeping you stuck). 12:30 – The bullshit we entertain that blocks our next level. 17:50 – Playing in limitation vs. choosing expansion. 22:15 – Outsourcing power vs. trusting your own intuitive knowing. 26:40 – The trap of self-sabotage & why you don't need to burn everything down. 31:20 – Expanding your nervous system's capacity for your next level. 36:00 – Integration is lifelong: Holding more success, growth, and depth. 40:20 – Final reflections and an invitation to go all in. Key Takeaways Identity evolution is inevitable, resisting it only prolongs discomfort. You already KNOW what you're meant for; stop entertaining the bullshit. Playing small and staying in outdated patterns is a choice. Expanding your nervous system's capacity is key to holding more success. You don't have to burn it all down to step into your next level. Trust yourself, claim your desires, and bet on YOU at full volume. Quotes “Why are you still entertaining the bullshit? You already KNOW.” – Rachael Meeds “The version of you that built this life isn't the one who's meant to sustain it.” – Rachael Meeds “Success isn't about staying comfortable, it's about expanding your capacity to hold more.” – Rachael Meeds “Burning it all down every time you evolve isn't growth, it's avoidance.” – Rachael Meeds Join Voice: The House of Liberated Self Expression I want to invite you to join VOICE.

    What's up gorgeous soul, today we're diving into a topic that gets so many of us in a twist: is it bad to want to be famous for your work? Spoiler alert, it's not just okay, it's powerful AF. This episode is all about reclaiming the sacredness of your desires and reframing fame as a way to amplify your impact, serve at a higher level, and fully step into your unapologetic leadership. If you've ever felt like you had to shrink your dreams or second-guessed your big vision, you are NOT alone. I'm breaking down the messy, raw, and liberating truths about visibility, success, and what it means to want more in a way that's aligned with your purpose. Get ready for a heartfelt conversation and some tangible, empowering insights! In This Episode: 00:00 - The Desire for Fame 02:52 - Understanding Fame and Its Subjectivity 05:52 - Desire is A Sacred Force for Growth 08:59 - Unshaming Your Desires 11:54 - Visibility and the Fear of Judgment 15:13 - The Beauty of Wanting Fame 17:57 - The Relationship Between Wealth and Service 21:07 - Judgment, Jealousy, and Self-Reflection 25:48 - Navigating Creative Voids and Envy 35:04 - Self-Hypnosis for Shifting Beliefs 46:32 - Embodied Presence and Unique Expression Key Takeaways Fame is not inherently bad; it's about being known for the purpose of amplifying your impact and service. Visibility blocks often stem from fear of judgment, rejection, or misunderstanding. Desire is sacred and aligned with your unique purpose—owning it unlocks new possibilities. Judgment is frequently a reflection of unclaimed desires or internal conflict. Practical tools like self-hypnosis and somatic practices can support deeper alignment with your goals. Quotes “Your desires are not random; they are placed on the altar of your heart for a reason.” – Rachael Meeds “To want to be known for your work is to amplify your ability to serve.” – Rachael Meeds “Judgment is almost always jealousy—it's a reflection of desires we haven't claimed.” – Rachael Meeds “Faith without work is delusion.

    126: Unf*ck Your Relationship With Responsibility

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 14, 2025 40:46


    What's up gorgeous soul, today we're diving into one of the most vital shifts I've navigated both personally and professionally: radical responsibility. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how taking full ownership of our lives, businesses, and self-expression can be the ultimate gateway to liberation and impact. If you've ever felt torn between your desire for freedom and the weight of responsibility, you're not alone. This is the episode for you. I'm sharing the messy, raw, and empowering truths of my journey—from motherhood's initiation to reimagining leadership where I've unf*cked my relationship with the responsibility that my big vision holds. Get ready for some real talk, tangible insights, and a whole lot of love. In This Episode: 00:00 – Welcome and the theme of radical responsibility. 03:00 – How motherhood became the ultimate initiation into leadership. 06:15 – The nervous system's role in balancing self-care and family dynamics. 09:45 – Overcoming the fear of responsibility as a threat to freedom. 14:00 – Reclaiming visibility: Addressing subconscious blocks to being seen. 18:30 – The interplay of joy, fulfillment, and purpose after big life transitions. 23:15 – Discipline vs. devotion: Building momentum toward your vision. 28:00 – Embracing discomfort: The growth cycles of leadership. 33:00 – Aligning actions with legacy and impact. 38:00 – Closing reflections and an invitation to step into your power. Key Takeaways Radical responsibility is the cornerstone of authentic leadership. Balancing freedom with responsibility allows for deeper alignment and purpose. Visibility blocks often stem from subconscious fears of rejection, judgment, and overwhelm. Motherhood can be a profound teacher, showing how fulfillment and joy impact everyone around us. Discipline and devotion aren't about restriction—they're acts of self-love that build momentum toward your vision. Growth isn't linear; it's a spiral where lessons resurface, offering deeper transformation. Quotes “Visibility isn't about performing for a bigger audience; it's about staying rooted in your truth.” – Rachael Meeds “The decision is one of the most powerful frequencies there is.” – Rachael Meeds “Your fulfillment impacts your family, your business, and your legacy in ways you can't imagine.” – Rachael Meeds “Faith without work is delusion. You can change your life by deciding to show up for it.” – Rachael Meeds Connect & Work With Rachael Instagram: @rachaelmeeds Website: rachaelmeeds.com Join EMBOLDENED: DM me on Instagram for details on this transformational program.

    Welcome back to the Embodied Leadership Podcast. Today, we're diving into a topic that hits home for so many of us: the fear of being seen in our power. I've heard from countless people, including myself, about this struggle & how it directly influences how you'll allow yourself to be seen in the world. We'll explore how this fear impacts our self-expression and dive into some real talk and personal stories. In this episode, I'm sharing my own journey of meeting the fear of being truly seen in my power & what I've learned along the way. From dealing with bullying to navigating societal judgments, we'll uncover how these experiences shape our self-expression & influence our leadership. I want to help you reclaim your radiance and power, and I believe this conversation will be a game-changer for you. Let's dive in!

Success and visibility can bring judgment, but staying rooted in our true identity is crucial. Support and mentorship play vital roles in navigating and embracing our radiance and power. Quotes "Being seen in your power can oftentimes bring up this somatic reaction of unsafety or insecurity." - Rachael Meeds "Hiding and shrinking doesn't serve anybody. Even the people that troll you or hate on you, it doesn't actually serve them." - Rachael Meeds "One of the biggest gifts that you could ever give the world is your liberated expression." - Rachael Meeds "It's about you becoming so rooted in your own identity, how you see yourself, how you receive yourself." - Rachael Meeds "Fame is a resource and the definition of fame is to be known by many people." - Rachael Meeds Thank you so much for tuning into this episode.

    Welcome back to another episode of the Embodied Leadership Podcast. Today, we're diving into a topic that's incredibly close to my heart—how you don't need to eliminate scarcity, fear, or nervousness to create amazing things in your life. We'll explore how embracing these parts of ourselves can lead to extraordinary success and fulfillment. In this episode, I share my personal journey and insights on befriending these often misunderstood aspects of our humanity. You'll hear about my own experiences, the work I do with clients, and how you can begin to transform your relationship with fear and scarcity. This conversation promises to be liberating and empowering, so let's get started! Keywords: scarcity, fear, nervousness, extraordinary life, identity, unconscious beliefs, humanity, embrace, befriend, unconscious body, mind, nervous system, success Chapters: 00:00 Embracing Scarcity, Fear, and Nervousness 02:28 The Role of Identity and Unconscious Beliefs 07:36 Befriending and Integrating Parts of Ourselves 09:31 Personal Growth and Transformation 13:28 Nervous System Regulation and Adaptability 18:06 Personal Reflections and Success Stories 23:34 Embracing the Full Spectrum of Our Humanity 30:36 The Brave Work of Self-Exploration Key Takeaways: Embracing fear, scarcity, and nervousness is essential for creating a fulfilling and successful life. Human experience is inherently dualistic, and learning to hold space for all emotions is crucial. Our identity and unconscious beliefs shape our reality more than our day-to-day thoughts and feelings. A regulated nervous system is adaptable and resilient, not necessarily calm all the time. Personal growth involves ongoing self-acceptance and working intimately with one's nervous system. Quotes "We are here to experience the full spectrum of our humanity." - Rachael Meeds "Your feelings and thoughts are not always facts." - Rachael Meeds "Having is evidence of wanting. What you see in your reality is a mirror of your unconscious beliefs." - Rachael Meeds "A regulated nervous system is adaptable, resilient, and flexible." - Rachael Meeds "Embrace all the parts of you that you've deemed wrong or bad with love and acceptance." - Rachael Meeds Thank you so much for joining me in this episode.

Radical Responsibility: Embracing all parts of yourself, including the shadow aspects, leads to true personal growth and fulfillment. Practical Application: Techniques for aligning your conscious goals with unconscious desires can lead to lasting change and success.

    Welcome back to the Embodied Leadership Podcast. I'm your host, Rachael Meeds. We have an incredibly juicy conversation lined up where we dive deep into the limiting narratives we tell ourselves, specifically the "I don't know" stories. These stories can often be a way to avoid taking responsibility for what we truly want and desire. In today's episode, we explore how these narratives show up in our lives and leadership, and how they can hold us back from fully owning our brilliance. I share insights from my work with clients, my own personal experiences, and offer practical advice on how to move beyond these limiting stories. Trust me, this is a conversation you don't want to miss! In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction: Exploring the 'I Don't Know' Narrative 01:49 Uncovering the Truth Behind the 'I Don't Know' Narrative 07:31 Looking Beneath the Surface of the 'I Don't Know' Story 13:35 Owning Our Brilliance and Handling Rejection 28:00 Navigating Discomfort on the Path to Success 36:27 Embracing Feminine Leadership 42:58 Cracking the Code 49:10 Prioritizing What Matters 54:00 The Framework for Creating Momentum 59:04 Owning Your Truth Keywords: I don't know, narrative, uncomfortable emotions, avoidance, responsibility, desires, fears, deeper truths, being seen, owning brilliance, discomfort, true vision of success, feminine leadership, aliveness, feminine devotion, divine inspiration, identity development, self-responsibility, discomfort, fears, different decisions, self-expression, membership program Key Takeaways: The "I don't know" narrative can be a way to avoid taking responsibility for our true desires. Exploring these narratives with curiosity can reveal deeper truths and fears. Embracing responsibility in leadership involves owning our brilliance and the discomfort that comes with visibility. Identity development is an ongoing process that supports sustainable leadership and fulfillment. Prioritizing our aliveness and feminine devotion can lead to inspired actions and true success. Quotes: "Is it that I don't know or is it that I'm afraid to fully own and admit out loud what it is that I actually want?" - Rachael Meeds "The more we avoid something, the more our subconscious views that thing as unsafe, increasing our resistance." - Rachael Meeds "Prioritize what matters to you, prioritize creating outside of business, prioritize rest, prioritize nourishment, and just watch what happens." - Rachael Meeds Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this episode.

    Hi there, beautiful souls! Welcome to The Embodied Leadership Podcast, today we have a solo episode where we're exploring a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of creating lasting success. Whether you're a business mogul, a creative spirit, or simply a human being striving to be your best self, this episode is for you. I'll be diving deep into the significance of your nervous system's capacity in shaping your sales, visibility, impact, and income. It's the foundation of a fulfilled life and sustainable success. In today's chat, I'll share an unpopular opinion that might just change the way you approach your goals. We'll unpack the concept of 'quantum leaping' and why nurturing your current capacity is essential for not just achieving but truly holding onto your success.  So, get cozy, and let's get ready for some real talk that could transform the way you live and lead. In This Episode: 00:00 - Opening Insights on Nervous System and Success 01:25 - The Dynamics of Quantum Leaping 03:33 - Delving into Subconscious Self-Sabotage 05:11 - Valuing Subtle Shifts in Personal Growth 07:48 - The Interplay of Support Systems and Success 12:07 - Privilege and Experience in the Business Landscape 15:26 - The Spectrum of Leadership Experiences 17:31 - Grounding Entrepreneurship in Faith 21:32 - Balancing Early Business with Trust and Strategy 23:09 - Understanding Success Beyond Comparison 26:19 - Holding Happiness in the Now 28:01 - The Quest for Internal Fulfillment 30:17 - Body and Identity in Harmony 31:04 - Building Capacity and Comfort with Discomfort 32:42 - Savoring Success in the Present Moment 36:35 - Nervous System Mastery for Long-Term Success 39:19 - Gratitude and the Art of Savoring 41:17 - Holistic Transformation via the Nervous System 43:48 - Well-being and Capacity as Priorities 44:53 - Closing Thoughts and Next Steps Key Takeaways: Your nervous system's capacity significantly influences your success in sales, visibility, and income. Quantum leaps in life and business require a nervous system capable of handling new realities. Sustainable success is rooted in a holistic approach that includes addressing personal experiences and traumas. Comparing your journey to others can be misleading due to different backgrounds, support systems, and personal capacities. Strategies in business are essential, but they must be complemented by faith, trust, and a connection to something greater. The relationship with your nervous system is foundational for holding and sustaining success. The ability to sustain success is tied to how well one can handle current realities and relationships, including money and visibility. Gratitude for what one has in the present is necessary to welcome more success sustainably. Quotes: "Your current nervous system capacity for what is already in front of you is exactly what's impacting your success." - Rachael "Quantum leaping without the capacity to handle the new can lead to self-sabotage." - Rachael "It's the deep work that actually gives you the ability to create and hold the success that you desire." - Rachael “Your support system, which is connected to the different privileges you have, also influences the timing, longevity and sustainability of your success." - Rachael Thank you so much for joining me today.

    In this episode of the Embodied Leadership Podcast, I'm joined by Ali Mapletoft (@alimapletoft_artist), creative director, coach, and consultant for ambitious visionaries and changemakers. Together, we delve into the profound subjects of ambition as a love language, the inherent desire for visibility, the universal artist within each of us, and wealth as an authentic form of creative expression.  Ambition isn't a negative trait; it's a natural yearning for connection and self-expression. Ali shows us this and urges us all to shed any shame associated with our longing to be seen and to embrace the unique artistry that resides within us.  Our discussion takes an intriguing turn as Ali challenges the common misconceptions surrounding wealth, presenting it as a genuine creative outlet. Throughout our conversation, the recurring theme of radical honesty emerges as a cornerstone for true leadership and self-acceptance, underscoring the vital need to be present and authentically engaged in our journeys. You're not going to want to miss this one!

Seeking visibility is a natural human desire, and it's important to overcome the societal shame associated with this pursuit. Authenticity is crucial for personal growth. Embracing radical honesty and allowing oneself to evolve involves acknowledging and moving on from past selves. Every individual possesses innate creativity and artistry, which often goes unrecognized due to societal conditioning. Reclaiming and expressing this inherent creativity is vital for personal fulfillment and societal contribution. Wealth should be viewed not just as a financial goal but as a creative and positive expression. Approaching wealth with integrity and playfulness can transform it into a force for good.

She specializes in sustainable business, balancing yin and yang energies in business wealth building, and holding space for the full spectrum of leadership and human experience. Melissa shares her personal journey of letting go and redirecting her life. She highlights the misconception that wealth is solely about money and explains how wealth is a personal journey that aligns with one's values and desires. We discuss the delicate process of sharing personal experiences while being visible as leaders, the importance of holding the full spectrum of the human experience, the concept of being unapologetic in embodying one's unique expression of wealth, and the power of trusting oneself and the unfolding of life. In This Episode: 00:00 - Introduction of Melissa Moffet and her expertise  04:03 - Melissa's process of letting go and finding clarity  06:28 - The challenge of being visible and sharing personal experiences  08:23 - Making peace with intensity and your profile lines in human design  11:51 - Embracing the lessons and growth from challenging experiences  13:12 - Deepening connection to healing work and claiming your identity  16:41 - The biggest misconception about embodying your wealthy identity  19:06 - Money as a natural ecosystem   23:52 - Money as an illuminator of the shadows and the joys  26:40 - The subjective experience of feeling wealthy  31:51 - Deeper experiences with money work over time  34:34 - Alchemizing the somatic response with money for fulfillment and joy  36:23 - Being unapologetic and embodying your unique expression of wealth  39:41 - Receiving support and resources to pour into your life and experiences  41:45 - Being resourced to carry forward a vision and mission  44:47 - Desiring a beautiful and enriching life without needing justification  52:46 - Melissa reflects on her journey from childhood trauma to contentment.  54:40 - Melissa advises listeners to trust the process and take it at their own pace.  57:06 - Everyone is already on their path to abundance.  Key Takeaways: Wealth is a personal journey that aligns with one's values and desires.

    105: Cultivating Emotional Intelligence and Expanding Your Capacity for Growth

    In today's episode, I explore the importance of cultivating emotional intelligence and expanding our capacity within our nervous system. I emphasize the need to interpret and be in relationship with a wide range of sensations that arise as we courageously move towards our goals. I discuss the challenges of stepping out of our comfort zones and the tendency to default to what feels good in the moment. I highlight the significance of expanding our window of tolerance and developing emotional intelligence to align our behaviors with our desired identity. I also encourage listeners to ask themselves what will feel great to have done in the long run, rather than just what feels good in the present moment. In This Episode: 0:02:16 | Brief mention of the recent rebranding of Aroara  0:05:02 | Importance of developing emotional intelligence for personal growth  0:08:08 | The tendency to avoid discomfort and the need to expand our window of tolerance  0:10:16 | The value of being able to consciously think and feel  0:13:22 | Exploring the different states of the nervous system  0:14:55 | The discomfort of stepping into something new  0:16:34 | Defaulting to old ways of being instead of embracing change  0:17:52 | The subconscious reaction to big changes and self-preservation mechanisms  0:18:34 | Importance of self-awareness and compassion in personal growth  0:19:05 | Confidence and self-trust come from embracing discomfort  0:20:34 | Intentionally seeking discomfort to expand window of tolerance  0:21:51 | Brave spaces vs. safety in personal growth  0:22:26 | Importance of working with a trusted guide or coach  0:23:20 | Emotional intelligence and self-regulation are key in leadership  0:25:16 | Embracing mistakes and challenges as part of life  0:26:42 | Choosing actions in alignment with long-term goals and values  0:36:16 | Identity and releasing past experiences impact our entire life.  0:38:42 | Appreciation for sharing information and supporting others.  Key Takeaways: Emotional intelligence is the capacity to be aware of, interpret, express, and respond to emotions while handling interpersonal relationships with intention and empathy. Expanding our window of tolerance involves increasing our capacity to tolerate the stress that arises when leaving our comfort zones and improving our body-mind connection. People often resist what they desire the most because their subconscious and nervous system associate familiarity with safety. Developing emotional intelligence and interrupting autopilot ways of existing are crucial for embodying leadership and creating the life we want. Being in an ongoing relationship with ourselves and making conscious decisions aligned with our desired identity are essential for personal growth and fulfillment. Quotes: "Confidence and self-trust are a result of courageously and boldly learning how to befriend discomfort." - Rachael Meeds "Your capacity and ability to welcome in what you actually want is on the other side of how honest you're being with yourself." - Rachael Meeds "Embodied leadership requires a willingness to embrace the unavoidable discomfort that comes with developing your identity and going beyond the conventional path." - Rachael Meeds Thank you so much for being here!

    Welcome to Episode 100 of The Embodied Leadership Podcast! Today, I am thrilled to sit down with the incredible Africa Brooke (@africabrooke, a globally recognized consultant, coach, speaker, and writer who has dedicated her work to helping individuals navigate self-censorship and other forms of self-sabotage. Her work takes a close look at the complexity, mess, and glory that is the human experience. In this episode:  Africa gets into what it actually means to find your censor-free voice and what that process looks like. What is self-censorship? And why do people do it? How Africa first found her censor-free voice through sobriety and sharing her experience, and the transition into what that looks like today What it's like to be so visible and feel those visibility edges, with Africa's “An open letter: Why I'm leaving the cult of wokeness” being read by over 12 million people Choosing integrity over popularity, in order to choose yourself How I let my censor-free voice be seen visibly, through the shaming and identity politics of 2020, and the ostracization during the pandemic in 2021. The feeling of wanting to share something, but withholding out of fear of the consequences. The difference between self-censorship out of fear and using a social filter to manage your energy  Navigating challenging ideas offline versus online, decerning the environment you want to express yourself in a certain way, and recognizing not everything is self-censorship Being in right relationship with your capacity to hold the energy of the topic you're bringing forward for a conversation Recognizing that not every platform is able to hold the nuance & valuing long-form podcasts as a platform to express nuance. Taking full responsibility for the things that you say and trusting yourself that it needs to be said, as well as trusting the listener to be responsible for how they receive information. The power of holding discomfort, and what you miss out on by not being able to hold discomfort while disagreeing Why Africa uses the term Collective Sabbotage versus Cancel Culture How Healing is remembering your wholeness Being mindful of the language that you're using and honouring that other perspectives exist. Testing your values and what you stand for when you're put into a situation where someone doesn't respect you Choosing courage over conformity, moving forward embodied in courage, and meeting yourself where you are right now Using the micro-moments of interaction to practice stating your needs & being courageous Sharing your vulnerability when it comes up as a way of being courageous Thank you so much for being here!

From learning to let go of the past and embracing the power of presence, to dismantling urgency culture and embracing joy, I cover a lot of ground.  I also delve into the challenge of holding something private and massive, and the importance of taking a holistic approach to life and leadership.  I'm looking forward to diving into all of this with you, so let's get started!   In this episode:  I get into how it feels like I'm reintroducing myself to you after going through such a huge portal over the past several months. Making peace with how I'm always changing, shifting and growing. I talk about the huge transformation that I've been going through and what I've learned through that. The loneliness of holding something private that is massive and challenging The final shake awake of “Yo Rach, stop trying to go back to what was, you're here for something new.” The suffering that comes with being attached to the past and who we once were Feeling peace in my body when I just let it all go, and just be here right now and be a beginner again Some of the deepest most potent shifts occur in the seemingly mundane moments An example of the power of presence, and my experience going into trauma therapy without a timeline The dysregulation that comes from applying the instant gratification that we learn on social media to real life and healing Learning to hold the seemingly mundane shifts that occur slowly overtime versus chasing the high of quantum leaps Taking a holistic approach to life, love and leadership, and dismantling urgency culture Letting joy lead the way even through Big T trauma and little t trauma Shifting from the Maiden Archetype to the Mother Archetype The recent shifts in my business and life, and feeling really good.

[6:04] I talk about how crucial discomfort and discipline are for creating a beautiful life [7:27] Understanding the No that comes from fear/insecurity versus the No that comes from knowing the value of “negative emotions [10:01] The difference between the feeling or sensation of No based on fear or knowing  [10:46] Being in tune with the deep knowing that you will be okay regardless of what happens [11:47] Acknowledging that challenge and hardship can be in direct support of where you're headed.

The challenges and deep discomfort of knowing your child will not make it through her teens.   [16:38] Asking the question, “What do I have control over?” And how that question moved Morgan to do the internal work. [20:59] Connecting to the deepest part of our essence even in the most intense, heart-wrenching experiences, and that worthiness is always a part of us, it can't be taken away from you.

    095: Breaking Up with the Coaching Industry: Liberating Your Expression & Embracing Your Truth

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 10, 2023 47:15


    Today, Rachael dives deep into a juicy conversation all about the potent experience where she is declaring that she is breaking up with the coaching industry. This is not about bashing the industry. This is not about breaking up with being a coach.  We'll be getting into dismantling the confines and limitations around the conditioning of what you “should” do, how you “should” market, and what it means to create lasting success. Dissolving conformity and living in mediocrity by boldly cultivating and forging your own unique style in how you speak, create and show up in the world. Why so much of what's taught is a creativity killer that creates an echo chamber of sameness. The power of choosing to leave behind what you once did and who you were even when it was financially abundant and lucrative. Liberating your expression and choosing integrity over popularity.   In this episode, Rachael gets into Sharing what has been so alive for her over the past 5 months, and her knowing that where she was going was going to require that she let what once was die The regurgitation of ideas in the coaching industry and the conformity that comes from that cycle, which stifles creativity How the echo chamber of sameness takes away from the truth of what coaching actually is, coaching is not the same as marketing your business The shift that started to happen after the wedding Shifting her identity through some of the deepest grief of her adult life, decomposting into a rich fertile soil for growth The bravery and courage that it takes to dismantle what once was and to choose yourself even when what once was was lucrative and financially abundant How the echo chamber of sameness and the marketing-focus of the coaching industry takes you out of the soul of your business Feeling into what would be alive within you, what would you share, if you weren't trying to fit into someone else's box, into someone else's framework Contemplating the 8th gene key. Being a rebel with a cause, somebody who doesn't fit into the confines of society, who's here to create this aliveness in the world. How her mission and the business she desires is so much more than teaching the finer details of marketing and how to sell or get clients That the inbetween can look like a loss of finances or things looking quite, because you're outgrowing a lot of the ways in which you were being When you're trying to be like someone else and show up as something other than who you are, it kills your creativity When she looked at who is showing up in the world in the way she wants to show up that really inspired her, they weren't identified as being a coach. The coaching industry is a niche, and she's not into being niched-down The mind-virus that tells you you are not enough, and that when you shift how you're showing up, your art will attract those that want to work with you Grieving what was once had, that what got you there isn't where you get to go next Who are we waiting for to just do it and be here now and be the fullness of who we are When you claim the fullness of who you are, you are going to make people both fear you and be in awe of you Are you willing to betray yourself or reject yourself in the pursuit to appease someone in some specific industry or niche? How safety is an illusion if you are not being who you actually are Am I being in integrity with who I'm here to be? What makes this “so much” is that so many people are indoctrinated into these ways of showing up or marketing, Tik Tok is really bad for this Feeling into what your bigger vision is, it requires a level of honesty with yourself The pain and struggle required to really look at yourself in the mirror and ask, “who do I need to become?” The difference between perseverance and resilience, in resiliency you get to take your foot off the gas to actually feel what's happening around you The work of learning and choosing to let yourself feel deeply Choosing your integrity over popularity When you're speaking from your center, what people receive from you supersedes the mind and is a transmission from soul to soul, it's incredibly potent. What if I'm feeling into my big vision and it's not super clear, but I know there's something big there? Playing in the mystery, being in relationship with the unknown and existing in the deeper presence of your life When you let yourself be in your truth and in the fullness of your spirit and you embrace your multi-passionate essence, you ditch the labels, you ditch all the shit you've been taught that doesn't serve you, the prosperity, liberation and abundance that will be birth from that place will be beyond what you ever thought possible.

    094: Liberating Your Expression: The Challenge of Showing Up As Who You Actually Are

    Today, Rachael dives deep into the importance of exploring your identity and liberating your expression by being unapologetically yourself.  She discusses how to get clear on your self-concept and how to shift your identity, as well as how to be mindful of your actions and still embrace who you are, even if you are not for everyone. Additionally, Rachael emphasizes the importance of work that's deeper than just creating success and how it's really about who you are and being liberated. Finally, she challenges listeners to consider how they are showing up in the world, and how they can move differently as they expand their visibility.         In this episode, Rachael gets into How and why the identity you hold is literally where true transformation and change occurs Exploring what is under the surface, the identity-based beliefs that are expansive and those that don't support who Dismantling the binary, there is always nuance and it's all happening right here, right now  The need to understand who you are being inside of what you are doing Getting more clear on your self-concept and being very honest with yourself about what is actually true for you right now Meeting yourself in the eyes of love to shift your core beliefs and be more embodied in what is actually true for you Holding yourself through the lens of “I've got my back no matter what, I am unfuckwithable,” And recognizing that you are still a human being through this. Shifting her identity from what she previously experienced in her childhood as she birthed her business into the world Moving away from compartmentalizing who you are and embracing your multifaceted self Inviting you into the question of who are you giving your power away to? Is your need for acceptance greater than your need for being true to who you are? The inevitability that as you grow your business and get really big that there will be moments that break your heart or shake you Her belief that true fulfilment comes from devotion, self-discipline, befriending discomfort and being the type of person that can hold themselves through the wide range of sensations, not just the ease in life Why it's extremely dangerous to box yourself into a binary way of thinking, and the need to see the nuance How the idea of never causing harm is an impossible fucking standard. The importance of internalizing that liberated expression and being unapologetic in who you are is not synonymous with being an asshole and not being mindful. If and when you believe that you have caused harm and acted out of integrity, own that and repair where that harm was caused. Having discernment in what is for you and what is not, and recognizing that you can be liberated and be mindful of your actions The invitation to acknowledge that you get to truly embrace who the fuck you actually are and that it's absolutely okay that you are not for everybody. That you get to change your mind, you get to evolve and grow and that different things can be true for you on different days and that's okay. Holding the emotional intelligence and the flexibility in your nervous system that is needed as you expand your visibility in the world The work is so much deeper than creating success, how much money you make or how good your branding is, it's about who the fuck you are and being liberated. Things to consider around how you are showing up in the world surrounding what you allow into yourself Where you're headed next is going to ask that you move differently Rachael's passion around her upcoming mastermind Liberation Thank you so much for being here!

    Today, Rachael dives deep into what she stopped doing to create a multiple-6-figure brand. This is a bit of a tough-love moment, but listening to this is surely going to awaken some fire in you!          In this episode, Rachael gets into Her work within Africa Brooke's Mastermind container & the new chapter she's stepping into where her expression is totally liberated A tough-love moment around what is needed to become the type of person you know you're here to be Stopping your reliance on how much money you make, how many clients you sign, or how “well” your launches go, to make you feel good about yourself How she defines success in her life and business What is birthed into the world when you are truly living and you feel present with the magick of your life. The need to stop feeling like there is something wrong with you and start to embrace the full spectrum of your humanity Believing that you get to make and receive money regardless of your emotional states. How she stopped trying to convince herself why she didn't need to invest in the spaces that her soul desired to be in. One of the biggest reasons investing in working with a coach is so beyond words valuable. Looking at investing as an act of self-love How she stopped overanalyzing every decision her soul was desiring to make. How she stopped having an “I can do it all on my own” mentality. The imposter syndrome archetype of the soloist, and how she used to resonate with it the most Recognizing that feeling like you need to do it all on your own is often a trauma response Applying all that you're learning and taking in and doing so even though you know it will be uncomfortable How she stopped having a funky-ass relationship with how she views debt Dismantling the shame of utilizing resources to fund your business Holding the belief of financial overflow and what that means for finances and debt A Story about joining Africa Brooke's mastermind even when it “didn't make sense” How she stopped waiting for it to feel easy before taking action, & stopped asking for everyone else's opinion to try to validate what she knew was already for her Becoming the embodied version of that person who is holding their desired reality Ask yourself the Questions: Where am I still holding back? Where am I still waiting? Where do I still have this tendency to only do things that feel good in the moment? Where am I still waiting for some future timeline to give me permission to do the damn thing? Thank you so much for being here!

    In this episode, Rachael shares two super important pieces that have helped her build a multiple-six-figure brand & feel grounded in her integrity throughout the process.   In this episode, Rachael gets into The importance of understanding that there is always more to learn and ways to grow. The beauty of working in different spaces and experiencing the unique tone and perspective of another coach or teacher. The beginner's mind in the world of social media and marketing, and being willing to be bad at something new in the pursuit of becoming great Applying a beginner's mind with everything in your life, avoiding the “I know it all” attitude and being open to receiving coaching and challenging your perspectives Consistently investing in the spaces and people that expand you. Her investments in herself The nuance of investing in yourself, that you don't “need” to invest, but what happens when you do follow your desires and invest Receiving support as someone who supports others, and the very real human emotions that come from being human How valuable support from others is in her being able to show up in the capacity that she does Taking a long-term view of investment, knowing that the return on investment won't necessarily happen overnight, but doing it anyways. Utilizing the resources that are available to you, and the weird distinction between student loans and credit cards or business loans The difference between debt and investing in yourself, your vision and your dreams Investing in a container with a teacher or coach is about so much more than just the information that will be provided, it's about who you become in the process Why investing in a mastermind is so f*cking powerful, and the amazing magick and community that occurs with all the other people in the space with you   Expanding your vulnerability edges through masterminds, and showing up as yourself and for yourself in the edginess of being in community The difference between a 1-on-1 container and a Mastermind, and the exponential growth that's possible by rising alongside other leaders Making decisions that are in alignment and integrity with who you desire to be, not just what you see in front of you or who you see in front of you Having self-trust as a foundational aspect in making decisions about investing in yourself and your business, and trusting that the decisions you make are for your fulfillment and desires How feeling nervous to jump into what's unfamiliar is normal, but to not let that keep you back and to learn to expand your ability to tolerate that discomfort The relationship with mentorship, coaching, your business and money, and asking yourself what you need right now and who do you need to become to achieve your desires  Thank you so much for being here!   So excited for you to dive into this week's episode!   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Are you ready to enter a chapter of your business that you'll remember for the rest of your life as you embody your liberated expression, & unapologetically lead in your juicy magic?
