Overthinking, over-analyzing, and second-guessing. STOP IT! Get out of your head and into your gut. It knows the truth, but first you need to trust yourself. There's no way to begin trusting others if you don't trust in yourself. Your gut is like your body's second brain. It's also like a lie detector. It wants you to know something. Quit trying to make sense of a situation, and just go with the knowing of your brilliant gut instinct. You don't need to justify yourself for having this intel, just roll with it. The more you take action and trust your inner knowing, the more your inner knowing strengthens. Your angels also want to validate that YES, you are strengthening your intuition by doing this practice. There's really no risk either! How's the alternative working out for ya?

Brand authenticity is crucial for building your reputation as a real estate agent. Hear insights about: How Corinne first connected with Erin, and how she first got into real estate branding and marketing Why mindfulness and mindset work has become a cornerstone of Corinne's brand authenticity How Corinne's Branding You came to be, and why she believes it is crucial to work all of yourself into your brand to ensure brand authenticity Why it's important to eliminate things that drain your energy and focus on working with the people who bring you joy How to work on your mindfulness and mindset, and why books on the subject often neglect to discuss taking action How Corinne determines and prioritizes intentional goals, and how she finds gratitude in every moment Why focusing on the right goals, planning for those goals, and putting in the work to achieve them is crucial for creating a happy life for yourself Why it is important to “embrace the pause” and give yourself time to recharge, re-center, and re-energize yourself before tackling big things How noticing and focusing on the little moments in your day can add up to powerful mindset changes What Corrine will be offering in her powerful upcoming nine-week workshop titled “Marketing Academy: Designed Just For You, Realtor” Brand Authenticity in Real Estate How you present yourself is a big part of your brand as a real estate agent, and brand authenticity is important for building your reputation and carving out your niche in your market. However, it's easy to try to overly “polish” your brand: dressing a certain way, communicating only the positives, and sharing only part of who you are can drain your brand authenticity. Corrine King is an expert at helping real estate agents develop their brand, and she believes the best brand is one that truly reflects all of who you are. In this week's episode of the Pursuing Freedom podcast, Corinne shares why being your authentic self is crucial for brand authenticity, and she discusses why “embracing the pause,” being mindful and present in each moment, and taking control of your mindset to overcome your limiting beliefs is key to truly standing out and building the happy life you're looking for! Branding YOU: The Key to Brand Authenticity Early on, Corinne wrestled with her brand and how much of herself she wanted to share. She was concerned that being too “woo woo” and discussing mindset and mindfulness as part of her work would drive potential clients away. However, when Corrine fully integrated who she is into her brand, the opposite happened. She attracted right-fit clients who understood what she had to offer, and her business took off! Today, Corrine helps real estate agents and realtors fully embrace their brand, master their mindset, and focus on what really matters rather than getting bogged down in the many distractions we all face. Mindfulness, Mindset, and Being Present Your mindset has a HUGE part to play in your success; if you don't believe in yourself, how can anyone else believe in you? Corinne believes that it's important to take time to pause, reflect, reset and recharge is incredibly important for maintaining the energy you need to grow your business. Corinne says that practices like journaling and meditation can help you find clarity, energy, and passion for your work. When setting goals, it's important to understand the “why” behind it. If your goal is to make more money, why is this important to you? What outcome does more money mean for your business and your life? Pursuing a goal for its own sake can be a recipe for disaster, but if you understand why your goals matter to you, you can then determine what actions you'll need to take to make them become reality. If you'd like to connect with Corinne King and find out more about how she can help you build a life you don't need a vacation from, please email her at corinne@brandingyourealestate.com or visit her website at www.BrandingYouRealEstate.com.

Greetings, SuperFriends! Welcome to this week's episode, where we actually have a very special one for you! You've probably heard me talk about today's guest before, Dr. Juli La Rocca, as a star SuperLearner student, and then someone who also took my Branding You program, and has gone on to just become so successful and influential, do incredible things, and help people all over the place. Her story starts as a traditional Western medicine doctor who went from a lot of struggles, trials, tribulations, depression, suicidal thoughts, and much more as you'll discover, to learning, growing, changing, evolving, and becoming a coach to very successful people. She's an incredible woman, she's actually one of my coaches right now, and she has helped me through so many incredible breakthroughs in the last year that we've been working together. So, I thought I would bring her to all of you, because not only does she have an incredible story, and an incredible amount of wisdom to share, but she is the epitome of a SuperLearner, going from not knowing anything about the thought leader business - her words, not mine - to where she is now. Now, the student truly has become the teacher, and she is a valued coach of mine and teaches me so much about how to live my life and how to take good care of myself. So, again, I thought why hog all her wisdom for myself. I wanted to bring her to all of you, and we had an incredible conversation as we always do about life, about what's important, about different tools that you can use to perform at your highest level, and about simplifying, which I think is a really important thing that we all need to be thinking about right now. I heard an incredible quote the other day from a former Disney executive who said "in the rush to go back to normal, take time to consider which parts of normal are worth going back to". I think that is so profound. I think this podcast episode will help you think, and start that conversation with yourself. So it is with great pleasure that I introduce you all to Dr. Juli La Rocca. -Jonathan Levi

Episode 150 Happy Monday, April 20th Lightworker, This week should just be called "WAVE YOUR FREAK FLAG!" But seriously, it's time to say the thing that you want to say, to post that thing you've wanted to post, and just tell the world why you're different! APRIL 20 ENERGY FORECAST: ​40. Inspiration: It’s your purpose to shine your light You’re a lightworker! It’s your soul’s purpose to shine your light so that others can shine theirs too. Please don’t dim your light because you’re afraid of what someone else will think or say. Those people aren’t your soulmate clients! As a lightworker, you can be like a flashlight in a dusty corner; many people don’t want to see what’s there, so they’ll try to dim your light or put it out...they’re just not ready to see. Send them a loving blessing and move on. Your actions will inspire others! ​ ​ 7. Healing: Schedule healing work! This is a hard stop, drop, and get some healing work done. I don’t care if it’s a visit to the sauna, a spa day, or an hour long massage or energy healing session. Your system is overloaded and underloved. There’s something going on under the surface and your angels want you to be aware of it...and you can’t do that alone or by working harder. You must stop to listen to the call. If you continue to ignore it, the call will get louder, and you may not enjoy being laid up from work for a long stretch of time. Better take care of yourself now. Pay now or pay later! A small investment of a day off will pay off in droves...just you wait and see! There’s someone in heaven watching over you and they can hear your silent prayers. Think of this card as a gift to have someone take care of you. ​ 37. Branding: You’re a unique snowflake! Use your unique gifts in the way that comes naturally to you. Start to listen to how others describe you and hone in on your messaging. It may be time to hire an expert to solidify your brand colors, message, and who you serve. You’re on to BIG things and the first step is clearly identifying who you are, who you help, and what you stand for. If you already have a clear brand, it’s time for an upgrade! You’ve evolved so much from doing the deeper work, and now it’s time your branding catches up to you. Have fun!

You must put yourself out there in a way people can clearly understand how you can help them AND ask for a sale! The money you make is a direct reflection of how many people you’re helping. If you struggle with figuring out the right words, get help! There are too many people who need you. Put yourself out there and make an offer today. ​ ​ 37. Branding: You’re a unique snowflake! Use your unique gifts in a way that comes naturally to you. Start to listen to how others describe you and hone in on your messaging.

Social Media: Your guides will create the strategy You can’t avoid the topic of social media and your guides are here to help you create the perfect social media marketing strategy ever. You don’t have to be on all of the platforms but please pick at least one that you will be 100% committed to. If you find consistency difficult, schedule one day per week to create captions. Start a folder of other accounts you love and borrow their themes. DROP the story that you just don’t get it, you’re not techy, or you’ve never been good at it. Embrace the fact that your angels and guides are here to lovingly assist you in this process.

Happy Monday October 21 Lightworker! This week is about stepping into new levels and embracing your unique gifts! OCTOBER 21 ENERGY FORECAST: 2. Breakthrough: Keep on going! You’re right there! Keep on going! You’re on the verge of a huge breakthrough! Embody the best you possible...aka your highest self. What does a successful person act like? Now, close your eyes and embody their behavior, attitude, and demeanor. Then shift your actions to DO the things your highest self would do. Play the part today, not someday. Who are you not to? What you want also wants you. Ask yourself: “How much money/success/love can I tolerate?” 37. Branding: You’re a unique snowflake! Use your unique gifts in the way that comes naturally to you. Start to listen to how others describe you and hone in on your messaging. It may be time to hire an expert to solidify your brand colors, message, and who you serve. You’re on to BIG things and the first step is clearly identifying who you are, who you help, and what you stand for. If you already have a clear brand, it’s time for an upgrade! You’ve evolved so much from doing the deeper work, and now it’s time your branding catches up to you. Have fun! 24. Upleveling: Breathe deeply into your expansion. You picked this card because you’re surrounded by abundance! If you can’t see it yet, close your eyes and feel it. Abundance and wealth are not outside you, they’re within and all around you. Money is energy and so are you. You deserve to receive higher levels of prosperity. Make a clear goal of exactly how much money you wish to align with and by when. Place your order to the universe. Now, let it in. Mantra: “I’m ready to let higher levels of wealth in now!”
