I don't want to lose credibility. What if it doesn't work out? What if I never want to go back to it?”.

In today's Powerback® episode, we're talking about going from chaos to calm. In other words, getting used to things working, getting used to slowing down, getting used to being able to sit with things, to enjoy things, to be in the moment. When you have been used to operating in a place of chaos, where you have been a master fixer, you're the one that everyone goes to, you're just always on the go fixing, doing, putting out fires, making shit happen, then the second that you try to embrace calm, your entire body, mind, soul, and everything else is going to push back with resistance. It doesn't mean that it's wrong, it means that it's new and unfamiliar. However, it is shiftable. You can absolutely shift from chaos to calm, and today we're going to talk about how to do that.We'll go through:Resisting it when things are actually workingGoing back to chaos because it's familiarHow to shift from chaos to calmWhat does calm look like for you?Catching, shifting, and moving differentlyResources from this episodeYou are invited to become a member of the Gutsy Collective!

I am a girl of the earth and of the universe. When I learned that these are parts of who I am and that they actually really helped me not just to connect with myself, to get more grounded, and to get more centered, but these methods also helped me find clarity, peace, and solitude. I get that there might be ways to do certain things. But just like I teach you in just about every topic and aspect, there's no right or wrong way to do something when it is fully in alignment with you. So, my goal today is to share some of the things that I have found to be really supportive for me and maybe that will inspire you to find something that works for you as well.The methods that I'm going to share with you in this Powerback® episode have been an incredibly simple yet profound way that I've been able to manage and tap into both of those things.We'll go through:3 Fun facts about meMethod 1: groundingMethod 2: creating simmer potsMethod 3: airing outMethod 4: tarot and oracle cardsMethod 5: seek guidance from mentorsResources from this episodeYou are invited to become a member of the Gutsy Collective!

Today, we're talking about talking yourself out of things that actually could bring you a lot of joy. Now, we're not talking about the big stuff this time. We're talking about the small, incremental, tiny moments in your day that you feel a tug to lean in, you feel a calling to do, but then inevitably, your brain gets involved. Then it's like, “No, I don't have time”, “I shouldn't do that”, “I should get back to work”... insert 18 million different shoulds. The point is that you end up talking yourself out of doing this thing and just continue to spin in the hamster wheel. So, in this Powerback® episode, we're gonna take our power back by leaning into those simple joys of life. Learning how to recognize when you have those tugs, and then giving yourself permission to follow through with them. It's really interesting how some of the smallest things can bring us some of the biggest joys.We'll go through:What I mean by talking yourself out of stuffWhy we talk ourselves out of life's simplistic joysHow to start accepting these moments of joy and fulfillmentReframing how you look at honoring your wants and desiresNotice when it happens and practice receivingResources from this episodeThis is your LAST CALL to become a Founding Member of the Gutsy Collective!

“I dare you to get to know who YOU are outside of your roles and responsibilities. You are your own person first.”I recently put up a Facebook post with these words. And boy, did that get the comment section lit up. A lot of people were saying “Yes, absolutely. It took me a long time to discover this, but I'm here.” Quickly followed with “I can't. I have too many children. I have too many responsibilities. Life is too demanding.” So, on today's Powerback® episode, we're going to break that down a little further. In fact, if I asked you to tell me who you are without describing your title, roles, or responsibilities, what would you say?We'll go through:I'm challenging you not to settleYou are your own person first and you matterCut the bullshit attachment to your roles and responsibilitiesMake the timeBe realistic with yourself and reframe what's possibleGet to know yourself againResources from this episodeCheck out the original Facebook post here.5-Day Mindfuckery Workshop [Feb 26 - Mar 01] - Join me and a supportive group of women who are also hungry for change but whose minds keep stopping them.

So, we can't even talk about bringing more pleasure and sex and fulfillment into our lives without addressing that first.”“Women can experience over 15 different forms of orgasm. And what we're normally experiencing is one of those, which is normally a clitoral orgasm, right? It's easier to locate. It's a more surface-level type of orgasmic experience.”“The G spot stores a lot of trauma. So, for a lot of women, when they start moving into working with this area of their body, they can start to have anger come up… So, it's really fascinating and interesting, the types of memories, emotions, and feelings that arise.”“You don't need a manifestation tool. When you are touching upon these deeper levels of your being and accepting yourself, magic is going to happen regardless.”Connect with Ava PikulFacebook: @flamewithinavaInstagram: @ava.pikulWebsite: flamewithintantra.comConnect with LauraAuraFacebook: @thatlauraauraTikTok:  @thatlauraauraInstagram: @thatlauraauraWebsite: LauraAura.comSupport the showTHANK YOU, GUTSY TRIBE!We love, love, love to read your comments, feedback, and reviews.
