The Lead with Your Light Podcast

There is no person in this world who doesn't fear everything falling away into a giant collapse: losing their income, going into debt, or ‘failing' in some huge way. So many of us say no to opportunities, training, coaching sessions, and masterminds because they come with a price tag and commitment - but at what soul and quantum-level cost? In this very special episode (and a Lead with Your Light podcast first! An interview!), I am joined by Kate Darnell, who is an energetic practitioner, soul guide, mentor and a beloved client and colleague of mine! We talk about the gritty behind-the-scenes reality of a life and business up-level, what the needle-movers of her quantum leap have been, why she initially said “no” to working with me, what moved her into saying yes (clue: it wasn't a sales conversation or overcoming objections!), and the benefits that she's been reaping after listening to that soul yes! Tune in!   In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast: The conditions necessary for an up-level quantum leap - and how Kate knew she was ready for it [4:34] Understanding spiritual bypassing and how we sneakily downgrade our possibilities in the name of intuition [12:12] What gets left on the table when you don't choose what your soul knows is right for you? Can you afford to leave these things behind? [16:28] What does it take to live life at this level, to live in that space of calibrating to the reality of a quantum existence? Is it all sunshine and rainbows? [22:25] How to get the support to have your own experience of an up-level, in your own business and life! [40:35]   Don't miss an episode!

When it comes to creating a soulful business, it might seem like it should be easy, like you can set up a regular business and just slap a bit of soul in there. However, the old paradigms of business can sometimes hold us back from the thriving soul business you know you are here to lead. In today's episode, I talk about the types of motivation mistakes that many soulful entrepreneurs make that can lead to burnout and loops of failure, and suggest more powerful sources of fuel that will help you get out of the old paradigms of seeing business to propel you into an entirely different dimension, paradigm, and perspective.    In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast: How the old paradigms are influencing your motivators [3:17] The first common motivation mistake that soulful entrepreneurs make [6:24] Getting out of your own way by being in service to others [12:38] The second motivation mistake that soulful entrepreneurs make [16:50] How to open up the abundance channels in your business [21:35] The third and final common motivation mistake that soulful entrepreneurs make [23:18] The dimensional difference between the old and new paradigms [26:19]   Don't miss an episode!

If you've been on any kind of spiritual awakening journey (i.e. living your life with curiosity!), you've likely come across a point in time that some people call a dark night of the soul, or a void space ‘in between' where you are and where you know you're going. What can you do if you find yourself stuck in the void? In this episode, I hope to provide you with practical and energetic strategies for you to not only survive but THRIVE during your journey into the void.  There is so much gold here for you, if you have the tools to mine for it!

Social media is becoming one of the most utilised resources in this day and age. Thanks to clever algorithms the tech industry has created, endless information and entertainment are literally at our fingertips. However, as in most things, anything in excess can be dangerous. In today's episode, I talk about the importance of understanding how much of a VERY important resource is being stolen from you daily, without you even realising. I also share the things that I do in order to minimise the landscape of distraction we're all fully immersed in now.   In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast: This episode is a reflection, not a demonisation of social media [3:38]  The behind-the-scenes look at the life of a content creator [6:18] The future is now – what is it doing to our brains?

Don't you love having realisations and AHA moments in life while watching someone else on TV? Recently, I've been watching documentaries and I've found the perfect descriptor of the soulful entrepreneur's life from one of the people interviewed in the documentaries — through the experience of a Hawaiian surfer, surfing earth's biggest wave.    In this episode, I talk about the challenges that come our way and realising that our souls have already chosen this path for us a long time ago, and what holds us back from fully claiming it. We resist and fear the change that comes along.    So are you ready to drop that resistance and claim your soul's legacy? Click play and have a listen!   In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast: The documentaries that I've been watching lately.

In this episode of the Lead with Your Light Podcast, we talk about an affliction that affects many high-achieving humans: the tendency to think you are master and controller of everything (and that you're here doing it all alone).

In this episode of the Lead with Your Light Podcast, we dive deeper into the conversation of making quantum leaps, and specifically how to initiate one! We also talk about the ways you can inadvertently cause a leap to pause or stop completely. I share my personal experience of a quantum leap and the vulnerable state I was in prior to making that massive decision.

In this episode of the Lead with Your Light Podcast, we'll explore why it can feel super comforting to think that all of our desires are automatically supported by the forces of the universe and that they'll have a momentum all their own once we release them out to the world.

In this episode of the Lead with Your Light Podcast, I'm sharing how a recent experience reminded me of an important lesson around chasing and desiring the false light in our lives. We'll explore how to dial down the external distractions so you can re-orient to your own path and attune to the true radiance of your inner light.

In this episode of the Lead with Your Light Podcast, we are diving into all things online and particularly social media algorithms versus - or in addition to - the power of your own energy. As you can likely guess, I definitely advocate for energy over algorithm, and in this episode, I'm going to be sharing why.  This particular topic has really been pertinent within my world of late. I've been tuning into the energy of many others in this online entrepreneur space and indeed the larger collective to witness what it is about this online realm that can leave us feeling de-energised and exploring how we can feel more empowered instead. The current marketing tactics online are designed to foster a sense of frustration. They make you feel as though your posts are having reduced reach or that you can't grow online thus compelling you to put some dollars behind your posts or your promotions. Depending on how far along on the entrepreneurial journey you are, it may or may not be feasible for you to be putting cash behind every single post right now.  So the focus then becomes, how do you work? Now what? It can end up feeling like there are a thousand and one things you have to do or hoops you have to jump through to master the algorithm.  The other thing I've noticed being fostered in this online space is a competition to create the loudest, most outlandish, most possibly controversial, most “excessively authentic” content in an attempt to get more attention and entice people to stay along for the ride.  This is a marketing tool called ‘attraction marketing'. It's supposed to suck people into obsessing to attain someone's aspirational life enough that they're compelled to buy their products.  [Now, if this is an authentic - truly authentic - expression that leaves you feeling energised and allows you to create the best version of your own content in this world, then more power to you.]  But sometimes when people jump onto the content or programs of these personalities, there can be some pretty troubling realisations.  A client of mine who came into my world from outside the online space said something to me about this that was so profound. She shared that when she was doing a course from someone who was a big personality online, after a while she felt like she was investing more in that person's life than she was investing in her own true growth, expansion, and evolution. This blew me away!  I would be devastated if I ever found out that any of my followers or clients were more obsessed with my life than they were with their own.  I always create content with the hope that it will serve, inspire, educate, and share deeper insights into the world of energy or what it takes to run a thriving soul business. But the intention is always to ensure that anyone who consumes my content is primarily oriented into their own life in a deeper, more exciting, more fulfilling way.  I would much prefer that anyone who is engaged with my content has a really healthy relationship with social media and spends a lot of time offline, in nature, really experiencing the beauty, mystery, magic, and the miracles that occur beyond the little electronic boxes that we try to insert our consciousness into all the time.  I do not want to be the reason that someone is perpetually on their phone!  If you are a creator of content or perhaps you've felt frustrated by these algorithms and these personalities that seem to be getting all of the attention online, is there something else you can focus on rather than the so-called lack of reach you're getting? One thing I know is that energy always trumps the algorithm.  Your energy and the currency that you allow to move through your body, the mastery that you bring to your work, and the results that you get for your clients--these will speak for themselves. They will move through the world in myriad ways.  It is always the magnetism that you create within your body and your field when you are dedicated to serving the world, and the intention to bring people along with you and elevate them. That is purely magnetic. That is what will draw people to you.  So I want to revisit the original question, which was whether you're feeling drowned out by the loudness in the online world and whether it's making you feel like your efforts are not being heard or received? If you are dedicated to your craft and you are deeply invested in the mastery of your work or who you are in the world, your magnetic field will be calling your humans to you regardless of what's occurring in the online space.  But I also want to invite you into an even deeper inquiry.  And that is… how much are you listening to and truly seeing yourself?  How much are you witnessing the amazingness of what you've already created and what you continue to create?  How much are you allowing the joy and happiness at your ability to do this work?  And the blessing and privilege of being able to live this kind of life? How much are you truly witnessing that? When we perpetually project outwards this notion that we aren't being heard, that we aren't being seen, that we aren't being received--there's also an aspect of our own incapacity to do those things for ourselves. Maybe it's simply about amplifying that capacity within ourselves or even initiating it within ourselves for the very first time.  Remember, anything you create from your overflow, from alignment, from your pure inspiration and creativity always has a corresponding heart or hearts to match in the world.  That is the truth. You may be creating something from the quantum that is actually meant to be read by somebody in a week's time, in a month's time, maybe even in a year's time! Once you have expressed and allowed your content out into the world, your work is done. It has its own magnetic field and resonance, and it will find the hearts of those who need to hear it. I hope you allow yourself to rest into the knowing that it's always energy over algorithm. Your soulmate clients and those that are aligned will be able to feel the true resonance and currency that is moving through your body and your work.  And that will always be more powerful than the hype of sophisticated online marketing.   In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast  What I'm noticing in the online space right now and the marketing tools that are being widely used [1:27] The feeling of needing the “master the algorithm” and the cycles that this can lead to [4:27] What can happen when people invest or join programs based on online personalities and a personal story that was reflected to me [7:09] The importance of being more engaged in yourself and your own life than what you're experiencing online [9:30] Why energy always trumps the algorithm [11:53] Revisiting whether you're feeling drowned out in the loudness online and how you're magnetic field calls in the right people for you [15:35]  Letting go of the timelines and expectations around when or how our content is meant to be received [18:04] Resting in the deepest knowing that when you bring through content, insights and inspiration in true service, your energy will be what people feel [21:30]   Resources mentioned If you're feeling called to begin really amping up your own energy and truly accessing the quantum in a way that you've likely never done before, I would love to invite you to explore my mastermind, the STELLARmind!

In this episode, we'll be diving deeper into a concept that I've been exploring and journeying with over the past few years, and I'm so excited to share it with you!   It's something that is simple and yet quite profound, and I've framed this subject for light-filled leaders - like yourself - who have realised that they indeed have an important role to play in anchoring in the new paradigms that Earth really needs to survive and thrive during these tumultuous times.  The state that I'm referring to is: “happy for no reason” or unconditional happiness. What this requires of us is a very secure inner state as well as a capacity to create the new within ourselves before we can see it externally.  When we give ourselves permission to only feel good if and when things in life are going well or we tell ourselves that we have to feel bad when things feel busy or overwhelming or when there are intense things happening in the collective, we're attaching our state of joy and happiness to external factors.  Now, this isn't to say that we shouldn't feel things in response to what's occurring in our lives! But instead, I'm inviting you to cultivate and sustain a sensation of joy, peace or happiness purely from the state of existence.  And the reason I think this is crucial for anyone who is leading in these times is that by creating this ability to maintain a sensation of joy or happiness in ourselves without attaching it to anything specific or external, it allows us to remain in a deep, embodied state of steadiness and a more resilient capacity to lead.  This state also helps us create the new.  During the episode, I'll also be taking you through some simple daily tools and practises that you can use to go deeper into cultivating and experiencing this state of ‘happy for no reason' and allow yourself to exist with and as this sensation. If we are leaders of these new paradigms, we need to embody the new energy within ourselves and allow that to inform the path for us to step onto.  We need to take a stand and allow ourselves to feel an elevated state however we can — whether it's peace, joy or happiness.  We are multi-dimensional beings that exist in a ‘yes-and' reality, and as a leader of light in this world, it's important to inhabit this space so that the new can be created and we can leave the old paradigms and patterns behind.  You really can cultivate this space, create new paradigms, and anchor them into our collective reality.  Being able to do this in an elevated state is such a gift for all of us, so I invite you to play with this concept, make it your own, and work on accessing it within yourself.  You don't need a reason to be happy.  You don't need to attach and tether yourself to things in this world that are intended to de-energise you.  You can exist as the joy that you are.  And remember, your existence is the most stunning sacred union between the Earth and the cosmos.  You embody both of them, you exist as both of them.  You are light embodied, and you are a multi-dimensional creature of magic. If that isn't enough reason to be happy and joyous just because then I don't know what is.  I hope you enjoy playing with this concept!   In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast The important state to master and embody as a light-filled leader [2:22] Diving deeper into the state of 'happy for no reason' and unconditional happiness [2:42] My journey with accessing and cultivating this state of being and how it landed unexpectedly for me [3:10] The reasons why this is crucial for anyone who is leading, especially in these times [6:38] Creating the new and why it's so important to embody the new within ourselves as conscious leaders [7:59] A few practises, tools, and ideas to play with to really help you establish this as a state of being that you can access [10:35] The concept of heart coherence and connecting to & activating your heart centre [14:49]   Resources mentioned The HeartMath Institute Tune Out the World, Tune Into You Meditation  Next-level group mentoring with Carly available in The Luminous  The Stellarmind Mastermind for visionary leaders and soulful entrepreneurs ready to up-level their businesses and lead with their light.

We miss out on so much of life's magic when we focus purely on the surface level. In this episode of the Lead with Your Light Podcast, we'll be exploring the myriad reasons that we become disconnected from our bodies, and what happens when we do move beyond the surface and start to truly activate ourselves in a deeper, more embodied way.  I often see this as the missing piece -- experiencing words and actions on a mental or surface level, but not fully embodying those words and actions. Creating deeply aligned and congruent energy asks us to anchor into connection with our energetic body.  We are so much more powerful than we give ourselves credit for. By allowing yourself to inhabit your energetic body to its fullest capacity, you're able to turn on your personal light grid, create more magic and fully express resonant energy. And it's from this space that we can then truly begin to play, co-create, collaborate and interact with the world around us.  I'll be sharing some of my personal experience, how I began to re-energise and activate my own personal light grid, and I'll also take you through some of the tools and processes that you can use to start practicing this as well. I hope this episode gives you some ah-ha moments and some clues as to how you may be allowing your own energy to move through your body — or maybe not move through your body as effectively as possible!    In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast Moving from surface-level words and actions to embodied, congruent energetic alignment [2:20] Fully activating your energy centres [4:44] Understanding the many reasons that we become disconnected and dissociate through both personal and collective traumas, and how to come back into our bodies [5:50] My personal experience and how the personal light grid came to be [10:52] What the personal light grid process is and how to begin working with it [16:06]   Resources mentioned Want to dive deep into activating and amplifying your own personal light grid?

How much time would you be willing to spend to create something that lasts forever? I read this line recently, written by George Saunders in The Paris Review, and it sent chills up my spine. It spoke to the quandary that so many of us have. The sense of a lifetime legacy beckoning us into exalted service and the feeling like we're NOT DOING ENOUGH, or we don't have enough time to achieve it. Add in all the other facets of LIFE and it can seem as though there simply ISN'T ENOUGH TIME to do it all. That I'll never get there. That it's all too much. And this is where we can all fall into the deficit disposition trap: an all-pervading feeling of anxiety and nervousness that we're not doing life right. And we're not living out the legacy we're here to leave behind after we're gone. But, as a quantum creatress who weaves energy in the realms where time doesn't exist, I also know this isn't true. In this episode, we'll dive deeper into how you can actively choose a different paradigm, one that isn't based on what you think you “should” be doing and instead is centred on what's most deeply soul-aligned for you. One that comes from the space that you are elevated to through your play, your joy, and your pleasure.  The magic you're here to bring to the world is not going to come from a place of forcing and manipulating yourself. We can weave deep magic when we allow ourselves to relax open into the flexibility of the eternal NOW. I truly hope this episode serves you and that you can feel a sense of openness, expansion and relaxation around what you are here to do in this world and know yourself deeply enough to be able to feel into and recognise what your next step in alignment is.    In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast Exploring the sense that we're not “doing enough” or that we're running out of time to achieve our lifetime legacy [1:19] The deficit disposition trap and what this means [2:26] Moving beyond the limiting stories about not having enough time and how you can do this [3:25] Your legacy doesn't have a time limit and what happens when you give yourself the space to move at your own pace and allow yourself to just be [4:34] Shifting into a soul-aligned paradigm and orienting yourself to play, joy and pleasure [6:49] Truly life-changing and legacy-making work speaks in alignment and integrity and why your state of being matters so much [9:10]   Resources mentioned Next-level group mentoring with Carly available in The Luminous  The Stellarmind Mastermind for visionary leaders and soulful entrepreneurs ready to up-level their businesses and lead with their light.

Welcome to the Lead with Your Light Podcast! This has been one of my most requested offerings -- so here it is! I'm so excited to be bringing it to life.  I'll be your guide as we explore what it means to be an enlivened, embodied, and richly-resourced leader in service of humanity and the earth.  The Lead with Your Light podcast will be a mixture of musings on how we can bring more magic into the world, techniques to increase our own inner light, and conversations centred around how to energise into the highest-level humans we can be.  This is especially important now, as we navigate this amplified time in our world, and I thought this would be a great place to start with our first episode. In this episode, we'll be diving deeper into how you can beam your unique light into the world and live in a nuanced, meaningful and magical way — even amongst what can feel like incredible chaos and shifting times of healing and transformation.    In this episode of the Lead With Your Light Podcast An introduction to the show and what the Lead with Your Light Podcast is all about [3:33] My story and journey thus far, going full-time in my own business and being guided into truly backing myself [10:23] How I do this work in the world [20:08] How you can lead with your light in trying times [22:13] Tools, practices + supports that can be helpful in these times [26:02] The difference between feeling into the heaviness of the collective energy as an observer vs keeping yourself in a depressed or de-energized state because of guilt [32:23] How to navigate the enormity of what's happening in our world and how to make a difference [34:50] What's ahead on the podcast [39:30]   Resources mentioned Next-level group mentoring available in The Luminous.  The Stellarmind Mastermind for visionary leaders and soulful entrepreneurs ready to up-level their businesses and lead with their light.
