The next time you hurt, ask yourself these 3 questions and unlock healing you never knew you needed. Kim McMillen said, “When I loved myself enough I let the part of me that missed Kent feel sad instead of trying to stop her from loving him.” In pain, ask yourself this... 1. Is this coming from love? Celebrate it. 2. Is this coming from fear? Fear of losing pleasure or experiencing discomfort? Commit to creating versus losing. 3. Is this BIG enough to me that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to turn it into the pleasure I seek? That's the BIG question that matters most. Because you can feel the pain of lost love, fear of losing it, or you can make pain your gain by going ALL IN to what matters most to you. Pain isn't your problem. Running from it is. Do not allow your pain to be in vain. Allow your pain to be your greatest gain. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:   What's behind your pain could be your greatest pleasure. You'll never know until you're willing to release it by releasing yourself into it. Where in your life have you been running from pain? Feeling afraid? Ask yourself these 3 questions and see what comes up for you today.

This week I'm diving into a crucial part of manifestation. As Manifestation continues to be a buzz word there seems to be a big gap in the process that is being shared. As much as taking action and  gaining specificity on what you want is important, there's still something missing. That missing key is what I'm talking about in this episode. If this episode resonates with you consider scheduling a Discovery Call with me and let's take an hour to dive into your life and see how I can support you as you make your dreams a reality.https://calendly.com/mindsetinthemaking/discoveryConnect with RachelInstagram: @rachel.josefina https://www.instagram.com/rachel.josefina/

This is a question I've asked countless numbers of patients over the years. Yes, I've palpated backs that felt as though they had been replaced with a chunk of cement. “Issues in your tissues” is what I like to call it. We've all experienced the discomfort of tight muscles. BUT… There's another form of issues in our tissues, and it's like cement in the heart. You may be suffering from it. It's caused by the cement of JUDGMENT. Are you judgmental? You may not think so. I didn't think I was either until I was asked this question... Do you think you know why others do what they do, and judge what you THINK their intentions are? If so, it's judgment. And if it's in your heart long enough it can lead to a hardened heart. Today's the day to STOP DRINKING CEMENT, AND SET YOURSELF (AND OTHERS) FREE. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP Where have you been judging yourself...what area of your life? Who else have you been judging?

Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life! This week my guest is Kate from the Sober School About 7 years ago when I was casting about for help with my own drinking problem I stumbled upon a blog by Kate who had already been sober for a couple of years.  She was the first person I ever heard suggesting that sobriety could be fun – rather than the grey and miserable place many drinkers imagine it to be.  I now know that she was absolutely right of course so it was a real pleasure to chat to Kate about her own drinking story and the work she is doing these days.   In this Episode When Kate looks back she realises that at University she used to drink alone in her room – even though there were numerous bars and opportunities to drink with other students! If you enjoy drinking alone then that's a bit of a red flag because it means that you are not using it to “socialise” – you are using it to relax or perhaps to try to calm your anxiety. As you heard Kate cleverly gave up drinking at the tender age of 30 but for many of us the pattern seems to be that we DO use alcohol to socialise in our 20's and 30's and then as we get into our 40's and 50's it often turns more into self medication and that when we enjoy drinking alone. Kate had been worrying about her drinking for years before she actually did anything which is not at all unusual – A recent study highlighted the fact that it takes an average of 11 years between realising that you have a bit of a “problem” and actually doing something about it. This is a shame because for many of use our dependence and our unhappiness worsen during this period.  I think it takes such a long time to tackle our drinking for two reasons:-  1. As Kate said society tells us that we are either a “normal” drinker or we are a raging alcoholic –if we are a raging alcoholic we must to go AA – if not then we are fine.  We do see articles about “cutting down” which make it sound simple but of course once we've crossed a line with our drinking that becomes impossible.  Personally I spent my 11 years of procrastination trying to “cut down” so that I wouldn't have to quit completely! 2. Second reason we resist reaching out for help is that we don't know where to find it. Many of us don't want to go to AA or we try it and it doesn't work – then we just get stuck.  But times are changing and the modern recovery movement means there are many online solutions these days.  Solutions which work for the millions of people who are not “raging alcoholics” but they are not “normal drinkers” either.  Kate had been sober for 8 years and back then there was very little help around. However she discovered a blog – (the blog was Unpickled by Jean McCarthy) and it resonated with her.  For the first time she felt that there was someone out there “just like her” – which is exactly how I felt when I discovered Kate's blog.  So it's all about “finding your people” – that's the first step in the journey. Her own journey to sobriety began with a blog where she connected with others on the same path and did a 100 day challenge – she felt a “shift” after those 100 days and found herself reflecting on whether she could make sobriety enjoyable – rather than something to be “endured”. We both agreed that doing a Dry January is too short to experience any benefits of sobriety so by gritting our teeth and getting through all we teach ourselves is that sobriety is a miserable place to be! We discussed the value of of writing a Goodbye to Alcohol letter - you can check some out here I loved Kate's Breakthrough story when she was organising her 30th birthday party in early sobriety. Rather than organising a big party she decided to do it completely differently.  Accepting the fact that she actually didn't like socialising in big groups she organised several small gatherings – and loved them.  She realised that she'd been using alcohol to squeeze herself into what society expected her to be! This happens to SO many of us and in fact a whole book has been written about the subject! Do get hold of a copy of the book Quiet by Susan Cain which explains that roughly 50% of society are introverts but society favours extravert behaviour which leaves many of us using alcohol as a coping mechanism – fascinating!  The subtitle of Susans book is:- The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking and she argues that:  modern Western culture misunderstands and undervalues the traits and capabilities of introverted people, leading to "a colossal waste of talent, energy, and happiness". So if you ARE an introvert and use alcohol to help you cope then please read this book – it will help you understand yourself – and your power – so much better! Kate explained that the impact of quitting alcohol is deep – we lose our shame, guilt, worry which is SO freeing. We also free up our mental space and start keeping our promises. We agreed that another advantage of dealing with our drinking problem is that we get to know ourselves so much better than people who have never had to deal with addiction issues. Sobriety also means we start reflecting on what we really want out of life:- If we are an introvert and have been using alcohol to cope we may decide to embrace our introvert side and make some lifestyle changes Kate completely changed her lifestyle – she swopped her life in the city as a tv producer for a life in the country running the Sober School which helps other women to stop drinking.

I know you're hurting at some level. Where Are You Hurting? In this episode, you're going to learn 4 steps to begin the process of caring for your hurt. We're all heard that hurt people hurt people. And there are a lot of people hurting. Are you one of them? No matter where you're hurting, you must discover the CAUSE of your hurt. 1. Cause. Get to the root cause of your hurt.  Pain is not your problem, but the cause of it is. Then you must... 2. Acknowledge the truth. And remember, if it can't be interpreted at least 2 different ways, it's probably not true. Are you willing to see TRUTH from more than one perspective? If so, then it's time to... 3. Relearn some things. Perhaps UNLEARNING some old things. Relearning new patterns. Beliefs. Behaviors. Then... 4.Engage in being the solution. Stop looking for the solution, and BE the solution. This, my dear, is what you do to C.A.R.E. for yourself...and your HURTS. It's start here. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP Write down where you're hurting right now. Is it physically? Mentally? Spiritually? Emotionally? Financially? Tell me where you hurt. Then write a bold statement of declaration that you're absolutely committed to getting to the bottom of it — to get to the cause of your hurt. To uncover and discover the cause, so you can seek out and become the solution. You can do it, my dear. And remember, you're NOT alone.

In this episode, I reflect on the better part of the last year and all that I have made a conscious choice to let go of. Letting go was my intention for 2021 and it was the first time I tried on setting an intention as opposed to a resolution. Truth be told, I thought that 2021 was going to be different somehow. I began this year with so much hope along with a deep belief that it was going to be a year of new beginnings. 2021 would usher in the year I turned 40, celebrate a year in my business and have some of the most heart-opening inner work that I had ever experienced to date. I felt like I was on the brink of major shifts that were going to have me feeling like I finally hit my stride. I never felt like I hit a stride, just a constant unearthing of what more I had to let go of and UNLEARN. It turned out that 2021 would require me to take my intention of LETTING GO to a whole new level. It would require me to practice letting go a little more every day. Letting go of everything I thought I was, letting go of my false sense of security, letting go of deep pain and trauma I had been living with for several decades, letting go of what I thought my life should look and feel like, and the biggest one for me – letting go of control. For years, I was so focused on my future that I was blind to the fact that in order to start something new, I had to make room for new things in my life and let go of things that no longer aligned. I talk about all of the things I let go - some I knew I would have to and others I resisted all the way. In the end, I'm beyond grateful for everything this year taught me and for all that I'm still learning. My hope is for those who listen, they can take some inspiration in taking stock of letting go of the things that no longer serve them.

Rosie Chhun talks about how her side hustle turned main hustle afforded her the ability to pay off $180k in student loans.  Key Points From This Episode Hear about Rosie's roots as a pharmacy technician and her journey in pharmacy school. Having to re-evaluate how she was moving forward and paying off her $180,000 debt. How paying the minimum hardly touched the interest accruing every month. How Rosie's love of calligraphy intersected with starting a business to pay off her debt. What galvanized her to take action and become financially literate. Reinvesting back into her business every time things were going well! Arriving at her successful business model with virtually no overhead costs. Just getting started, and continuing to learn and evolve as things go on. The two different pillars that make up Rosie's business: live events and coaching! The gradual transition from an expensive hobby to a flourishing business.

I was asked the question this week: “If you're not all in, does it mean you shouldn't be doing it?” This is what I say… A lot of times “should” shows up as a future excuse. It also says, “I'm interested, but not committed.” OR… “I'm doing this for other reasons besides my true heart's desire.” It's like saying that ALL IN happens by chance, divine intervention, or destiny. But… YOU get to decide what you're doing and why you're doing it. So, my answer includes a few questions... A: Why are you “shoulding” on yourself? B: Have you ever considered that maybe “ALL IN” didn't necessarily come as a result of the circumstances, but instead, “ALL IN” CREATES the circumstances. C: What does ALL IN look like, really…and what are you ALL IN to? D. Why are you doing IT if you're NOT ALL IN? Can you relate to this? If so, then... Ask yourself: Is it about circumstance or commitment? If you're waiting for circumstance to give you power for your commitment, you're not going to find it. Why? Because, your commitment creates your circumstances. Got it? In order to be ALL IN to anything, you must... -Know your WHY. Why are you doing what you're doing? Your WHY must be bigger than your WHY NOT. FEAR can also play a role in keeping you from doing what you say you desire to do. - Stay connected to your BIG WHY. -Identify your FEAR, which can become your big WHY NOT. - Be honest with yourself and others. Is your commitment based on a decision, or is your decision based on a commitment? Decisions based on the commitments to your BIG WHY are the ones that are ALL IN. What is your heart crying out? What is it saying to you? What is it (are you) yearning for? - Stop saying you're ALL IN to what you're NOT ALL IN to… - Stop saying you “should be”… - Simply focus in on what your heart is leading and guiding you to. AND… - Follow it. Follow it ALL IN to wherever it's leading you. This is a DISCOVERY. It's an ADVENTURE in discovery. There's nothing greater than being ALL IN! I'M GOING IN. I AM in. ARE YOU? Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Take a look at your life right now — at anything that you keep saying you want to do…or "I'm gonna do that"…but for whatever reason, you're NOT ALL IN. Begin to write in your journal about it. Allow your heart to show and tell you. To lead you into truth about why you're not doing it. And more importantly, WHAT you really desire to do…and WHY. Hey, are you willing and — right here and now — to go ALL IN? Make that commitment today, my dear. I promise you. You'll have the adventure of a lifetime.

Yep, the FATAL ERROR message was back on my WomenSippingOnLife.com podcast site again today. This is what I did about it… As I mentioned in yesterday's message, yes, you must UPDATE. Restore. Back-up. Refresh. BUT… If you don't increase your capacity — expand and grow — everything will crash. 1. Your storage capacity must expand and grow. OR. 2. What you're storing has to decrease. You must ask yourself, “Is it necessary that I expand right now?” OR… “Is it necessary to let go of some old information?” Oftentimes we have stored messages that we're carrying around from the past that are no longer serving us well. Today's the day to let them go. In remember, in order to increase your capacity, expand, and grow, it's vital to stay plugged in! Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: 1. Write down where you know it's time to expand your capacity. 2. Write down where you know it's time for you to release some old information…messages…and let them go. That way you can open up space for new information, growth, and expansion.

Even when the "S" is hitting the fan, it's important to remember that these things will also help you restore. What are they? 1. Updates are needed. When was the last time you gave yourself an update...to fully express your newness? 2. Back-ups are required. Are you backing up? And by the way, a back-up is NOT backing up, or going back. A back-up is saying to yourself, “I'm going to remember this truth right here.” So no matter what happens, you'll have IT to build upon. Yes, life may knock you down…but it will not know you out. 3. Refresh. As often as needed. Are you ready to do these three things today? Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L.

Do you feel as though you've lost your fierce? Your strength? Your force? Your power? Do you feel like you've lost your way? No worries…because today I share 4 discoveries that can change everything. Here's how to locate it. Think about this, Lady Lion, perhaps it's because of one of these... 1. Lost - You've lost your way. How do you gain back your ground? How do you identify your “found?” Start with the truth that you FEEL lost. Then locate yourself. Remember what you believe, desire, and trust. 2. Lack - You feel as though you don't have, or you're missing, something. Perhaps it's information, or a relationship? OR…TRUST? You haven't trusted yourself, the process, others…or maybe you haven't even trusted God. There is a trust issue that's led to lack in your life. What it takes to move from lack to abundance is focus and intense faith…in the process…what you believe, desire, and in whom you trust. Do you trust YOURSELF? Hope is belief, desire, and trust. And guess what? Faith is the substance of what you hope for. This will lead you to focus, and have the faith necessary to actually get your FIERCE back. 3. Love. Maybe you haven't yet discovered what you really LOVE. Excuses are oftentimes a symptom of not really being as “into it” as you say you are. You're doing it because you think you “should” be doing it. OR… It's a good idea, a maybe…"woulda, coulda, shoulda." It may sound like a good idea, but it's not YOUR call. It's not YOUR true love. It's not your INSPIRED place — YOUR life's work. If this is true... Then it's NOT for you. Even if it's a great thing. If you're not in love with it…set yourself free! It's time for you to get HONEST with yourself. It's okay for you to NOT be ALL iNTO it. ADMIT IT. QUIT PRETENDING. Allow yourself to see the truth. To know the truth, walk in it, and live out the truth. Because knowledge of the truth sets you free. Why? When you live in truth, you stop carrying around the heaviness of all the “woulda, coulda, shoulda,” and actually get down to business. You step into the freedom that's available — the fierce nature of who you are. 4. Lazy. Yes, you simply may be lazy. You may want it ALL without doing any work. Is this true?  Are you feeling lazy? You must take action. Stop saying you want, you want, you want. Because it will keep you in want. You must tap into your desire. When you do — along with your INSPIRE, and inspired inspiration — you'll tap into a power, and energy to actually get the work done. The do. That is who. Which is YOU, my dear. It's time to reclaim your FIERCE. Look at each of these areas and identify which one (or ones) requires your attention. What's asking for your attention? What are you committed to giving your focus and attention to, and where are you ALL IN to sharing your heart and soul…your undivided attention and care? Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP What do you desire to DO right now, but for some reason you've felt weak and uncommitted in following through and getting the results you desire? Write it down. Circle it. Take a look. Which one of these L-Words is YOU? Make a commitment today with laser sharp focus. That Lady Lion isn't missing. That FIERCE is in there. You must be willing to express the creative nature and power that is uniquely you, my dear! Thank you for being here, and allowing me to Sip On Life with you.

Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life! My guest this week is Soberfishie Dawn. Her nickname is Fish. Of course she got the nickname because she drank like a fish! For Dawn her journey began back in 2016 when she decided to try an alcohol free year.  She blogged about her journey, decided to stay alcohol free and is now a Sobriety Advocate with a membership and a large social media following.   I always enjoy talking to people who do similar work to myself and in fact I had one of my “light bulb” moments during this conversation which I will highlight at the end.. In this Episode Dawns original plan was to do a Sober Year – she had done short stretches in the past but wanted to see what kind of results she got from a longer period.  Well the results were overwhelmingly positive which is why she is still alcohol free 5 years later! So if you've done lots of Dry January's and Sober Octobers but then gone back to drinking with great enthusiasm then you're missing out. You've done the hardest bit (those first few weeks are tough!) so now you need to keep going for a bit longer!  In 66 days when you will have built a new neural pathway you will not only find it easier but you will also experience more benefits - a win win situation which may well result in your choosing an sobriety as a permanent lifestyle choice. After all there is nothing so exhausting and demorolising as spending your life jumping on and off the wagon! Dawn shared her drinking story – started at 14 years old when she discovered that she didn't really have an off switch once she got started.  She would pre-load her drinks before going out – in theory to save money on drinks when she was out but she would drink as much as ever. We both agreed that there was a time when we would anticipate the week ahead and not arrange any activities for the day after drinking as we knew we would be feeling miserable and hungover Inevitably Dawn set herself some “rules” to try to limit the drinking – she actually came up with one that I hadn't tried – she set herself a curfew – a set time when she had to leave her event and come home. She actually managed this a few times but then found herself drinking when she got home!  Maybe to celebrate that she'd kept to her rule! We both suffered from blackouts and agreed that we'd put ourselves at risk in this way We also found ourselves at a bit of a loss when we first got sober – unlike “normal people” we had not built up hobbies or interests over the years because all our leisure time had been taken up by drinking! As Dawn put it we found ourselves wondering “what do normal people do with their time?!” Dawn got started on her sobriety journey by blogging and walking. She also "Saturated herself in Sobriety" to change her mindset.  Like many of us she needed to change her thinking about drinking!  Unlike willpower a different mindset will enable us to sustain our sobriety. We agreed that when we got sober 6 years ago sobriety had a definite image problem – it was seen as a dark and miserable place.  Things are changing and just a couple of weeks ago I interviewed Susan Christina, editor of the amazing Hola Sober monthly magazine.  This magazine is free and its busy making sobriety just as cool and glamorous as we all thought drinking was - you can access a copy HERE Dawn talked about what she calls her “contentment line” – when we drink we are either on a chemical high or on the hungover low – we rarely sit “on the line” which is actually where we live when we are sober. The contentment line is a peaceful and happy place to be – when Dawn feels a bit low and knows she is below her contentment line she knows how to self soothe – without alcohol.  In early sobriety we zig zag all over the line,  the highs of the pink cloud and the lows of FOMO but hang in there because the contentment line will be yours after you've done the work and notched up a period of sobriety. So talking of “doing the work” that's where I got my light bulb moment thanks to this conversation with Dawn. It hadn't really occurred to me until Dawn said it but “the work” is different for each of us AA talk about “doing the work” and of course they mean working systematically through every one of the 12 steps but I prefer William Porters approach that we should see it as a buffet and choose what works for us. For Dawn and myself “the work” has involved sharing our stories, writing about sobriety and leading a sober community – neither of us knew in advance that this was “our work” – we just did what felt right and gave us joy. So let's think about sobriety as a journey of self discovery – some of us missed out on creating hobbies and interests because we were too busy drinking – but now we have time and even a bit of extra money to explore – to discover what we really like doing That's why the Tribe Sober membership program offers yoga, nutritional advice, coaching and different types of therapy – we want to you to experiment and get to know yourself! I ended our conversation by asking Dawn to list her benefits and there were many! Quality of sleep, productivity, discovering work she loves, confidence – and specifically the confidence to go on two sober solo holidays!  Holidays she loved and can't wait to go on more To find out more about Dawn go to her blog soberfish.co.uk and she is Soberfishy on IG.  She is also a moderator on William Porters brilliant FB group which is called Alcohol Explained More info Subscription membership for Tribe Sober is just R85 (£4/$6/$8AUS) a month - you can join up HERE To access our website click HERE If you would like a free copy of our "Annual Tracker" or our e-book "66 Days to Sobriety" please email janet@tribesober.com If you would like to come to our Saturday afternoon Zoom Cafe as a guest and meet our community just email janet@tribesober.com Episode Sponsor           This episode is sponsored by the Tribe Sober Membership Program.  If you want to change your relationship with alcohol then                 sign up today           Read more about our 7-step program and subscribe HERE           Book a Discovery Call with me to find out if our membership would help you            Help us to spread the word!

A need-based belief will keep you needy. What does “need” mean to you? And what does it mean to be “need based?” What do YOU need? If you only give yourself what you need, you will keep yourself in a state of need. It's vital that you learn to ASK and RECEIVE beyond any need. Have you ever felt needy, or been around a needy person? No one wants to be around one, let alone BE ONE. BUT… When we don't take care of our needs, we become needy. Give yourself permission to move BEYOND NEED today. Those who ask are those who receive. Those who seek are those who find. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP Identify your biggest need right now. Then identify an area where there's no need — it's abundant and amazing. Look at where you can move beyond need in your first example. Look at how you can continue grow (if this is your desire) in the area where you currently have no need. Please take some time today and write this out. Commit to setting a new mindset, a new heart set…a new BELIEF in moving beyond need. Thank you for being here, and allowing me to Sip On Life with you.

"Discovery calls are after you've built up a relationship with your prospect and they know you might be the answer to their problem...it's the last step before making the sale!" In this 19-minute episode of Marketing Tips With Meliss, I'm talking about what to say during a discovery call: -What types of questions should you ask? -It's not a sales call, it's a conversation to really understand your potential client. -It's a two way interview, you can ask questions and they can ask questions. -What do you do if they aren't ready to make a decision at the end of the call? Remember, you aren't trying to convince them to buy on the call. Your job is to help them understand if you are the right fit for them.

Today you're going to learn how to begin the process of LOVING YOU. Consciously. Compassionately. Consistently. Are you ready to get an A+ in LOVE? LOVE. Loving yourself. It seems like it would be so natural, right? It was at one time, but like many natural, healthy things…life has a way of teaching us the opposite. These 6 Keys will help open up the door of your heart, and release the chemistry of your INNATE SELF LOVE. Think of it as showing love THROUGH yourself. Will it be pure? Unapologetic? Unashamed? Naked? Unafraid? Unconditional? Here's how it can be... Key #1- Acknowledge YOU and the love you desire. Key #2 - Ask YOU for the love you desire. Key #3 - Give love to yourself. Key #4 - Act on it. Act with it. Take massive loving action. Key #5 - Accept love from yourself. Allow yourself to receive it (receive YOU), my dear! Key #6 - Abundance. Receive abundantly and act abundantly in love with it. WHAT CHANGE DO YOU DESIRE? Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Take an inventory of where you're accepting or pursuing anything that's not what you desire. Write down anything that you're accepting in your life…but it's NOT what you desire. Write down anything that you're pursuing in your life (possibly unconsciously) that's NOT what you desire. Commit today to LET IT GO, and commit to passionately pursuing what you DO DESIRE. Passionately pursue YOU. Love yourself for a change… And create what happens! I can't wait to hear about what happens next. Thank you for being here, and allowing me to Sip On Life with you.

What's the difference between counseling and coaching? This was the question I was asked. This is my answer... Counseling focuses on FIXING. Coaching focuses on FINDING. Counseling focuses on the PAST. Coaching focuses on the PRESENT, while creating the future you desire to love and live. At least, this is what I do with my clients in Healing Life Coaching. You may FEEL broken, but you're NOT. You (and your life) may not be working, but you can. My desire for you is to feel (and be) fully functional, aware, and thriving. NOT just ONE step up from BROKEN. HOW? 1. Find yourself. Stop trying to fix yourself. 2. Inspire yourself. It's time to begin Inspiring yourself in the healing process, Inspiring yourself in the process of loving your life and life's work well. 3. Expose the TRUTH. Period. Stop waiting for your life to change to love it. Love your life to change. Stop waiting for YOU to change to LOVE YOURSELF. Love you to change. Love your life to healing. LOVE YOURSELF FOR A CHANGE! (More about this in tomorrow's podcast...) Stop trying to be improve yourself, be better, or be best... FIND AND EXPRESS YOURSELF. In order to Be Excellent Starting Today you must Be Expressed Starting Today. Expressing who you are. In order for you to do this, you must know. And… In order to know, you must EXPRESS. Got it? It starts right here. Right now... Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Write yourself a letter today. Tell yourself why you're NOT broken. Write out how you feel, then remind yourself: I AM NOT BROKEN. Even if you've felt (or feel) broken. Acknowledge how you feel, but don't take it on as your truth.

Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life! My guests this week are Tom and Tamsin Sheehey, co-owners of The Shala Yoga Studio in Cape Town, South Africa.  They are both yoga teachers and Tom is also a health coach with expertise in nutritional guidance.  They will both be offering their expertise to the Tribe Sober members. In this Episode Tom's studies were in what is now called “complimentary medicine” which we both agreed is a better description than “alternative medicine”. If we want to use things like nutrition, yoga, massage, acupuncture etc as part of our healing process then it should be seen as complimentary to traditional medicine – not as an alternative. He talks to us about how regular alcohol use can put the body in a state of chronic inflammation which is a pre-cursor to many illnesses including cancer. In fact a recent study showed evidence that alcohol is linked to 7 different types of cancer https://www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20160722/alcohol-seven-types-cancer  From his nutritional viewpoint Tom also pointed out that alcohol is simply liquid sugar which will affect our blood sugar levels which can lead to diabetes which again can lead to multiple health issues. We talked about whether alcoholism is genetic and Tom agreed that if people have alcoholism in the family then they may well be more pre-disposed to developing dependency issues but he firmly believes that our health is dependent partly on our genes, partly on environment and partly on our lifestyle. More on whether alcoholism is genetic in this podcast episode with Mary Anne Shearer - episode 31.  When Tom works with his clients we tends to coach people mainly on lifestyle changes as that is what is usually in our control. He talked about the negative impact of alcohol on the gut which is twofold. Not only does it prevent us from absorbing some of the nutrients in our food but it also means we are less efficient at expelling metabolic waste – resulting in increased toxicity. Tom coaches people around the 4 pillars of health which are diet, stress reduction, toxin reduction (alcohol being a toxin of course) and moderate exercise. He advises us to increase the three dietary essentials – oxygen, water and vegetables and reduce refined sugar refined salts and synthetic foods…. If you do this and remove the toxin that is alcohol you are going to feel amazing! Tamsin explained that she took up yoga because she wanted to access her body's natural vitality. Although she was only in her early twenties she didn't feel great and wanted to understand her body better.  20 years into her yoga practice Tamsin is a wonderful role model of health, strength and serenity. Becoming a yoga teacher has made her own practice sustainable as she integrates what she is teaching into her own body. She loves her healthy lifestyle and the fact that she now gets to “teach it forward” We talked about how yoga can help in recovery and Tamsin explained that it's about coming home into your body. With the focus on breathing and mindfulness we become aware of what's going on in our body.  Getting on our yoga mat gives us the opportunity to check in with our bodies and discover how we actually feel. If recovery is about connecting with something greater than ourselves then there is a consciousness that comes with yoga that can facilitate that. Yoga is not a competitive sport and Tamsin urged us not to be intimidated however old or unfit we are – especially now that we can do yoga online in the privacy of our own home! As we get older a yoga practice becomes more and more important – we need to keep our bodies strong and flexible and we need to move our joints to prevent arthritis. We are never too old to begin yoga and Tamsin explained that she has clients that do chair yoga or even bed yoga. She adapts the classes to her clients.  I discovered Tamsin after reading a feature in a magazine about “lymphasising” – I was recovering from cancer and read that it was an aid to recovery. So that's how I discovered trampolines.  You heard her saying that bouncing was essential to health and wellness.  Tamsin begins her day with a session on the trampoline and sees that as a lifetime practice. If like me you spend all day sitting at your computer then get a mini trampoline and get up and bounce for 5 minutes every hour. There are SO many health benefits and we really do need to keep “doing the dishes” as Tamsin described it! Sobriety is a journey of self discovery. When we give up drinking we have time on our hands and recover our energy– we actually want to try new things and start to look around at other areas of our life. Do we need to clean up our eating habits, do we need to do more exercise and some yoga for example.   One of my podcast guests (Will Black on episode 52 calls this the Domino Effect) So if you think your diet could do with a bit of a review and if you are ready to give yoga a try then please take this opportunity.

In order to become the great lover of your life, you must become fluent at speaking the language of love. This takes practice. Daily practice. But the good news is, the language of love is quite practical. Why? Because the more you speak it, the more you begin to love your life and life's work well. What if you could put your love language on every single topic of your life? Imagine what that would look, feel, and sound like… It would look like YOU loving your life and your life's work well! Not only is it possible, but YES...it's practical. Besides your topic — or what you're speaking about with the language of love — those people, places, and things that surround you also affect how you speak it. Who are you surrounding yourself with, and how's it affecting your accent? The ACCENT of your love? Think about this as you go through each of these 5 primary languages of love…especially YOURS… 1- Words Of Affirmation 2- Acts Of Service 3- Receiving Gifts 4- Quality Time 5- Physical Touch Please grab your SACRED S.O.L.

The rise in discovery calls seems to happen in waves. Small businesses, like ours, see a surge of discovery calls right around New Year's, at the beginning of spring, and just before the end of summer. By understanding the pattern behind the trend, you can be proactive about it to ensure that your company is ready to go for the busy times.Of course, the goal of any discovery call is to close the deal and enter into the onboarding process for your clients. The "Yes" is great, but what comes after the purchase is even more critical. Businesses should create an easy customer onboarding process to ensure that sales are converted into lifelong customers. The key to a successful onboarding process starts with good sales messaging that showcases the value and then continues through nurturing to customer loyalty.I quickly realized during my own sessions that I hadn't executed a system to make an excellent first impression with potential clients. I felt unprepared, and the stress was killing me. In fact, I have learned a lot over the past 20 years in business of what not to do. I want to share a little bit of what I have learned with you today in today's episode 6 Discovery Call Strategies to Help You Land More Clients.Links For This Episode:Schedule a ConsultationOnboarding Workbook Get in touch with Jennie:·         JennieLyon.com·         jennie@jennielyon.com·         Book a Free Consultation·         Facebook·         Instagram·         Twitter·         LinkedIn·         Pinterest

Find the Show Notes here.  The world of work has changed in the last decade. Yet the question remains: Is it possible to align work with a sense of calling while also navigating equally demanding personal roles and responsibilities? Michaela O'Donnell is no stranger to questions like these. Through starting her own company and listening to others, she has come to believe that we are all called to be part of God's big redemptive work in this world. Her new book Make Work Matter: Your Guide to Meaningful Work in a Changing World launched into the world in November 2021. In Michaela's work as a practical theologian she converts academic research and lived experience into practical resources for the sake of your career (or your God-shaped dream). I'm thrilled to welcome her back to the podcast for the second time this year, this time to talk specifically about her research that let to writing her book Make Work Matter and its implications for dreamers like us.   In this conversation we talk about: The myth of “calling” and how we might adjust our thinking on this topic, An activity Michaela's created that you can use to reflect on your own journey of calling and track God's faithfulness in your life, and What you can do instead of “betting the farm” on your God-shaped dream.

Is it possible to trust again after your trust is betrayed? The answer is yes…and these 3 keys will help... A question I'm often asked is, “If I've been betrayed, how can I ever trust anyone again?” Going through more than one divorce, and being cheated on by two husbands, I know what it feels like… I know the painful feeling of betrayed trust. If you feel as though you're having a hard time trusting again, start with this… 1. Pay attention to what you feel. AND FACE IT. And remember, forgiveness doesn't automatically equal trust. 2. Trust yourself. Until you trust yourself, you'll never be able to fully trust another. If you haven't always been trustworthy to yourself, start by FORGIVING YOURSELF today. Then begin to build the trust that you desire by practicing #1. Trust is not only horizontal, it's vertical. It can be both created and destroyed. Truth builds up. The opposite of truth tears down. 3. You're not the problem for acknowledging the problem. Do not be afraid to acknowledge how you feel, and speak up about it. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E.

You may think of evergreen as a big fir tree out in the snowy woods.  Or you may think of boxwoods that are lining your front walkway.  Did you ever think of using the word evergreen as a way to get your content out to your future clients?

What would you do if there was NO ONE to make responsible for you and your situation, but YOU? AND…YOU BELIEVED YOU HAD THE POWER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.   What would YOU do?   “W.W.Y.D.”   YOU MUST OWN IT.   This is where YOU come in…YOU must do/not do it for YOURSELF.   However, you don't have to do it all by yourself.   You can invite others into your life to help you BE THE SOLUTION.   To create what you desire.   What would that look like for you?   Here's HOW.   1. Be Honest with yourself about YOU, and your HOPE, home, health, happiness.   Basically, how HARMONIOUS is your life?   What is working?   What's not working?   Get clear.   Boldly, and confidently declare your desires.   Identify your options…your choices.   Make decisions.   2. OWN IT, and be OPEN to outcome, but not attached to it.   Take FULL responsibility, and ENGAGE with it.   When you OWN, you give yourself PERMISSION.   Per the mission.   Knowing our desires, and taking ACTION are more important than MAKING THEM HAPPEN.   Why?   Because when you KNOW, YOU GO. YOU GROW.   3. WORK.   EXPRESS YOUR CREATIVE ENERGY.   No longer expressing DESTRUCTIVE energy.   OWN YOUR ENERGY.   EXPRESS IT.   SEE YOURSELF AS YOU SEE YOURSELF.   Do you see yourself?   Or have you stopped seeing yourself because you're so busy looking at everyone and/or everything that have become the reason you do NOTHING to create what you say you desire to create.   How do you see yourself?   What would it take for you to begin expressing yourself TODAY?   This is HOW…   Honesty. Ownership. Work.   It's not about “THEM.”   Think WE…not HE, SHE, THEY, OR THEM.   “When WE work, our DREAMS WORK.” Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)  TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L.

Will YOU Show UP for YOU? Intention is only the beginning. It's NOT the thought that counts, if there is NO action. If there is no action, there's NOTHING to count. Without action, intention will create and cause internal tension. Can YOU count on YOU to show up? Creation requires action. Reaction to the intention. If NOT YOU, then WHO? If NOT NOW, then WHEN? Make a commit TODAY to stop waiting and begin DATING. If you desire a significant LOVE LIFE, then it begins with love. Dating YOU. Which leads to LOVING YOU. Dating YOUR DAY. Which leads to LOVING YOUR LIFE. When you LOVE. Your LIFE WORKS. Without YOU, there is no LIFE. Make a decision TODAY TO DATE YOU. NOW. STOP WAITING. YOU BE THE WOMAN. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L.

It wasn't until the age of 37 that she discovered the shocking circumstances of her conception and subsequent birth. She learned that her birth mother had been brutally raped and left to die and that she had abandoned Monica just a few hours after giving birth. After some soul searching, she stopped wrestling with the “why” and instead decided to focus on the “how.” She did this by asking herself one question: “How can I take this gift of life that I've been given and make a difference?” Monica is also a retired firefighter and medic, living in Indiana. Her mission to protect all human life from conception to natural death is personal. She has been sharing her pro-life views with millions of people since February 2011 and works diligently to support pro-life legislators who take a stand to defend the lives of the innocent.    CONNECT WITH MONICA & SAFE HAVEN BABY BOXES: Website || Facebook   NEXT STEPS: Get the Dream Readiness Checklist to help you know if you're ready to take the next step toward your dream!

Years ago, I worked with a few mentors who took a prescriptive approach to coaching where they focused more on telling you exactly what to do than on exploring solutions together. That kind of coaching works for some people but I quickly learned it wasn't right for me - not as a client or as the coach - because I preferred a more collaborative approach. In this episode, I talk about the moment I learned that I prefer a collaborative approach to coaching and take you behind-the-scenes to explain how I've made collaboration a cornerstone in my client work. I touch on how I make it clear that I'm in partnership with my clients and share what this approach looks like day to day. I also get honest about the tradeoffs and benefits of this approach for both me and my clients.    Book a Discovery Call with Ashley to learn more about working together: https://ashleymgartland.as.me/discoverycall   Learn how to create more time with my private podcast Do Less, Live More: www.ashleygartland.com/dolesslivemore   Learn more about Ashley: https://www.ashleygartland.com/   Connect with Ashley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleygartland/
