In this episode, I'm bringing back a conversation that I had this time last year with Massage Therapist, Entrepreneur & Investor, Hannah Diment after she took part in my UNRESTRICTED coaching program. When I first met Hannah, she was awesome at doing “fun” things and had a successful massage therapy practice, but had been avoiding making steps on a project that she'd secretly wanted to do for years.I love her story. To the outside world she was carefree, fearless and talented, but she struggled with putting herself out there, doing the things that scared her, and finding a structure that supported her creative endeavors. This is something that I think most of us have felt at one point or another.Over our work together, she realized the things she resisted the most, were often the things that brought her the most confidence, like tracking her time and looking at her finances. She used the tools I gave her to face her fears and use gamification and productivity to launch her first coaching program, which ultimately made her feel free to explore her dreams, and take action to make them a reality.If you feel resistant to productivity, you're not alone, give this one a listen to inspire you on the freedom that comes with structure.Strap in, you're in for a UNRESTRICTED ride///////////////////////// ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSONUNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear how to take care of your mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that you love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

Increasingly we're becoming weary of the societal norms being imposed on us. Many of us dream of being catalysts for change but often think that we can't make much of a difference by ourselves.We dream of running away or updating antiquated systems and with our current reality, it's hard to deny that there are serious changes happening all around us.What can we learn from history to help us be change makers? Where can we find inspiration to break rules for the better and get unrestricted from the toxic norms that are pervasive in our modern day culture?My next guest has been leading a revolution, rooted in the history of pirates. By looking towards some of the most famous revolutionaries for inspiration, she's been at the forefront of enabling people to Be More Pirate. This way of thinking has inspired many to take on the system and become professional rule breakers. What can we learn from harnessing our inner pirate?Join me on this episode with Captain of Be More Pirate, Alex Barker, as we talk about how you can start a revolution, even if just one person, by taking inspiration from the golden age of piracy.ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

For many of us, the thought of putting ourselves out into the world is daunting. Many of us may have built businesses or want to, but have a fear of being the voice and the face of that business. We worry we'll seem too into ourselves, that we will be ‘found out' or that people will mock us. Imposter syndrome, thinking we're not actually good enough, is an affliction that hits many, especially women. And online marketing is one of the biggest triggers for those that are worried about it.The thing is, to further our businesses, especially in the current times, we MUST be online. And people don't want to buy from faceless brands, they want to know the owners, they want to feel connected and when they do, they become loyal fans and customers. So how then, can we get over our fear and start utilizing the digital world to forward our cause, our business and connect with potential customers?  How can we authentically use video and social media to promote ourselves and our businesses in a way that feels good?On this episode my e-commerce and digital marketing expert guest, Deonnah Carolus, Owner of Summit Web Marketing and I discuss how to get over imposter syndrome online.GRAB DEONNAH'S FREE VIDEO MARKETING CHECKLIST HERE http://bit.ly/URep14MarketingTipsABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

For most of us, the pandemic has put a lot of our lives on hold. We're swimming in uncertainty, canceling plans awaiting some sort of normalcy to return. For those that want to get married, they're faced with the choice of delaying indefinitely or having a celebration that looks a lot different than what societal norms dictate or what they'd always dreamed of.Getting loved ones together in a big group has been forbidden and a risk, but some people are choosing to continue their life plans.My guest for Episode 13 of UNRESTRICTED Live, Marketing Strategist Kelsey Turman, and her fiance decided they didn't want to wait, that they wanted to continue their life plans together. For them, that meant eloping. But instead of a remote, beautiful destination, they did it close to home. That inevitably brought up some challenges for how they deal with family and friends, having to redesign what their celebration looked like, and how to do it within so many restrictions.Join me and Kelsey as we talk about getting married during a pandemic, how they made the decision, planned for it and dealt with the uncomfortable conversations and restrictions, to pull off what was a beautiful, intimate celebration of their love.ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

We're bombarded with perfect bodies everywhere we look. We see thousands of images of beautiful bodies that we dream of having, but what we don't see is the reality of how they got there.Body building and competitions is something that most of us know about, we see it and think, I could never have the discipline to do that. Perhaps we feel a little worse about ourselves when we are honest that we don't have that kind of discipline in us.But what we don't often hear is the reality of how body builders get competition ready and the emotional, physical and mental strain that the process puts on their bodies. My guest today, Multi-Disciplinary Artist, Vanessa Lefan Yuen, was a competition winning body builder, who stopped competing and went through a beautiful journey of reintegration into finding her new normal. From having to relearn how to eat to reprogramming her mind on what her body should look like, she's been able to find a healthy, happy existence. Join me as we find out the truth about body building, what lessons can be learned from it, and how we can find our own balance and happiness with our bodies. ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

With an increasingly modern lifestyle, many of us have become disconnected from our intuition and our bodies as we become more reliant on technology, fast-paced lives and pursuing our careers. We've been shamed around our periods, the media won't even show blood in commercials about products that are supposed to support something we do EVERY month for over 30 years and if we work, we can't show any signs or symptoms for fear of being held back.With all of this, it's no wonder we see our periods as an affliction and inconvenience. Something we must hide and suppress, but for many of us this means it can be painful, debilitating and confusing the further disconnected we get. What if we started tapping into this cycle and exploring it's life giving energy? What if by paying more attention and celebrating this process, we could get to a place where we celebrated and enjoyed it?  My guest, Laura Carmody, Menstrual Empowerment Educator is on a mission to help women do just that - On the first episode of Season 2 we'll explore how to get in flow with your flow.

On episode 9, I was joined by Operations Manager, Turath Alsaraf.Turath is a child of war, an immigrant to the UK at a very young age, who worked her butt off to achieve the social dream: career & financial independence. Like so many, she achieved those societal expectations of success and then lost her way. So she started a new journey, one that involved finally learning the hardest of lessons about the self and the world, and though she is back in the 'system', now it is being done with greater awareness and greater dis-attachment. The path of her success now is about re-focusing, away from what she calls the 'human drama', away from obligations, away from expectations, and building something quite personal and quite unique.We talked about her incredible journey of healing her trauma, how organization can set you free and how managers can take a new attitude to create fulfilment and inspire people.

We had an incredible conversation this past Sunday on UNRESTRICTED Live with Kensey Allure. UNRESTRICTED is a podcast that introduces you to women who are redefining successKensey is a Sensual Movement Guide & Process Improvement Consultant.I nearly cried two times during this episode. Kensey shared why Pole Dancing is not only an incredible sport but also a tool for embodying one's sensuality. And it can be a powerful outlet for processing trauma. Kensey shared a horrific experience she had when she was younger and how she used movement to help heal herself. Now she helps other women to deal with sexual trauma or shameful feelings around sensuality by incorporating feminine movement into their lives.We also got an awesome breakdown of what shamanic healing actually is, how she's approaching balancing a corporate career with her creative practices, and one of the most beautiful definitions of living Unrestricted I've ever heard (cue tears for the second time).Find Kensey on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kenseyallure/ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

Episode 5 features Vanessa Sturman, Co-Founder and Co-Director of The Vegan Larder. On this episode we heard that sometimes the path we set out on changes, and that's ok. Vanessa has been balancing a career in change management with running a startup, which is no easy feat. Often, as entrepreneurs, we can get lost in our businesses or be so set on achieving what we set out to do, we can lose sight of opportunities. Or you can burn yourself out trying to be ‘successful'. Vanessa and her business partner started an incredible physical product business but through that process realized there was an opportunity to pivot to a model that brought them happiness and made more impact.  We talked about how organization, boundaries, and communication are crucial to your well-being. How affirmations can help you survive cold showers (which caused me to cry from laughter at how wonderful this habit of Vanessa's is).   If you're wondering about what it's like running a business and a career, curious about plant-based food or cold showers, tips and advice on organization and communication, or want to feel empowered to get involved in changing racist behaviors and thoughts, give this one a listen. If you are curious about plant-based food, you can check out The Vegan Larder's delicious recipes on their website https://theveganlarder.com/ You can check out the free community Vanessa mentioned, How To Go Plant Based, where you can get inspiration and recipes and help with your plant-based eating questions (whether you want to be vegan or not). https://www.facebook.com/groups/howtogoplantbased/ Find Vanessa's company The Vegan Larder on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vegan_larder/ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

Our Guest for Episode 4 was nomadic fire dancer, massage therapist and investor, Hannah Diment.  Hannah started her career as a massage therapist, which led her to work in the middle east.  She used that income to start learning the world of investment. Eventually, she ran away circus and is now exploring how to live simply and freely, traveling the US to explore her passions. She told us about the exciting practice of breathwork, which is intentional breathing, and the ways in which we can use it to help our health and wellbeing. We talked about learning new skills, how to approach them, and how to be ok with letting them go if they don't continue to excite you.  This led us to talk about societal pressure around conformity . . . It's one of the hardest parts of living UNRESTRICTED. Going against the norms invites lots of feedback from those around us and often it can be hard to hear. It can be tough to withstand criticism, and Hannah gave some really great insight into how to deal with these situations. We rounded out the conversation by talking about the one thing you can do to make significant changes and level up in life, and the answer might surprise you.   Find Hannah on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadeflow/ ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

For the last 9 years she has been touring the world working on movie productions like “Star Wars- The Rise of Skywalker", "Wonder Woman ll", "Suspiria", "Inferno" and many more, helping actors to transform into their character.  When Anna's not doing incredible work on movies she's supporting women to reconnect with their inner wisdom, power, feminine energy as a women's wellness-moon circle facilitator. She's also created a series of mask-making workshops that combine the creative, liberating process of building masks with the playful, transformative and deeply self-reflective aspects of wearing a mask.  We talked about her exciting life on and off movie sets, what called her to start using her art to help people heal and transform themselves and how she lives an unrestricted life.

Do you ever have a moment where you hear a story from a friend that you've never heard before and you are in awe? I got the feeling multiple times in our live broadcast with Atticus Mooney. Mind. Is. Blown. Atticus is a movement enthusiast, DJ and embodiment coach. She shared that our bodies have inbuilt systems by which to guide us, that in today's world, we pretty much ignore.  Movement can allow us to keep our ‘channel open'. We can process emotions and make better decisions about life and work just by moving our bodies. And you don't need to be a dancer to do this. From sharing her incredible life decision that involved the pentagon, to how she views and is actively creating an unrestricted life, to how she uses organization to feel unrestricted, we heard a lot of incredible insights from Atticus. And lots of laughs too. You may feel inspired to get up and move again, which in this current time, is needed more than ever.  Find Atticus Mooney on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/atticus_moon/ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.

My first guest was Stephanie Zellhoefer. Since 2008 I was drawn to her. She is badass at work AND play. She is FEARLESS.  I often think, how do I be more like THAT!? Stephanie sings, dances, and develops strategies. She was born and raised in a split between the cities of So-Cal and the mountains of Nor-Cal. She has traveled the world and had a roster of impressive career roles and clients such as WeWork, Red Bull, Disneyland, and more. Now she is creating a company that organizes solutions that bring together want and need in the events industry. From starting her career working in a restaurant to becoming a Disneyland Performer, to becoming the face of Panasonic on a US tour, to moving to Asia to work with global brands on designing their workspaces with WeWork, she's lived a pretty exciting life. We learned that she used a hula hoop to recover from a torn ACL. She built the world's biggest shower. She has lived her life by seizing opportunities (or rather seeing them and going for them) and how she lives her life by saying yes. She views distractions as ‘opportunities' rather than annoyances. And she incorporates planning into everything she does, which counter-intuitively makes her feel free. As she's in ‘startup' mode with her current venture, she also shared some of the frustrations in building a business and how she approaches them. How she learned that keeping your idea to yourself is not the right thing to do and the struggles of finding a niche.  Find Stephanie on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ziggityzell/ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I'm your host Athena Simpson.
