History, and our research, have shown that people respond to having a higher purpose. Agapi shares the mindsets, behaviors and blocks that can stand in the way or create powerful impact. Be prepared for some delicious Greek wisdom.   Key Takeaways Prayer is a technique that is found in many spiritual disciplines and serves to help people develop a higher purpose Understanding reflection and prayer mode can help us create more meaningful experiences Companies have more permission than they often think to support the spiritual wellbeing of individuals.

Life doesn't come with a manual, and no matter how long we spend "in the womb," when it's time to go out into the big wide world, we still don't seem to know what's going on.And occasionally all we need is someone to talk to. Prayer is a way of getting in touch with the essence of things, more so than simple talk, despite its own strength. It is the best listener you can ever discover. In this episode with Agapi, we travel the bridge between our soul and humanity with the power of prayer.AGAPI STASSINOPOULOS is a best-selling author and speaker who inspires audiences around the world.

Have you played Wordle? It's a game published by the New York Times where you try to identify the “word of the day” in six turns or less. I'm taking on a challenge from my “Wordle friend” to use today's word in a sentence. And of course, I'm taking it a step further and creating a podcast around it. Today's word… AGAPE ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- What does "Agape" mean? Agape love is unconcerned with the self and concerned with the greatest good of another.  Agape is a choice. It is a state of mind, a way of being with yourself and others, a way of being in the world.   Agape requires faithfulness, commitment, and sacrifice without expecting anything in return. The love that we never expect, the kind that makes us vulnerable.The love that fills our hearts with joy, happiness, and peace.   Agape can also be read as agape - as in… I was so astounded that my mouth was agape!   Agape reminds me of Agapi Stephanopoulos, a speaker, author, and facilitator with Thrive Global. Agapi, whose sister is Ariana Huffington, is Greek and I wonder if she was named after agape love. Check out her books including, Unbinding the Heart - A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity, and Unconditional Love and Wake Up to the Joy of You: 52 Meditations and Practices for a Calmer, Happier Life. Wordle is a fun and easy way to keep your vocabulary fresh with a new set of letters to discover. Now it's your turn, what is your favorite word?  ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

You can find Agapi at www.WakeUptotheJoyofYou.com Dual Citizenship: Being Part Human and Part Divine I loved this conversation with Agapi Stassinopolous. It was all about how to really show up in life, both in our humanity and in owning our divinity. I know I've struggled with this before, and we discussed how feelings like resentment, jealousy, anger, frustration, sadness, and disappointment can cause feelings of "I shouldn't be experiencing this now; I'm a spiritual being." The truth is we can't spiritually bypass our feelings and having all emotions is part of the human experience. The best remedy is compassion and kindness. Befriend your little girl, or little boy, that still lives within you and see what they might need to feel safe, heard, and listened to. As a spiritual being, the aim is to stay open-hearted to endure and experience all emotions and the bliss of presence. Agapi Stassinopoulos shared a way to handle challenging feelings; open your heart to the moment, breathe out and remember that right at this moment, you are being breathed in by the divine. In your breath are kindness, compassion, and comfort. That is the essence of existing as a spiritual being on this big blue marble.      Wake Up Your Joy We often have a hard time receiving, especially joy, because it seems selfish. This couldn't be farther from the truth. You have to go to places of discomfort and vulnerability to honor and love all parts of who you are. Who you are is a soul in a body. The essence within you is to be awakened and called forward. Joy is one of the purest ways to connect to your highest essence. Remember, waking up to joy is a process. Living in joy is another way to express yourself as a spiritual being. You don't have to bypass all your negative feelings, but be open to all the small moments of joy as they present themselves to you, and you will begin to find more moments exist than you previously noted.   Kindness Is The Way I love that Agapi said it is time to start romancing ourselves and do things that bring us joy and inner peace. Make your ego your ally and not your enemy. Claim your inner knowing and follow it with focus, faith, and trust. Through kindness, not through shaming ourselves, we can feel a greater divine spirit navigating and breathing us through our challenges. Slow down and notice the gaze of God, the divine presence that is always with you and shows up through kindness and compassion.   Final Thoughts Agapi Stassinopoulos was such a light and gave a lot of food for thought on how to awaken ourself to living as a spiritual being while acknowledging our human selves. It's important to note that while feeling our humanness is part of our journey here, we are also meant to recognize the joy we are blessed with. Stopping to observe the joyful moments, from tiny to more significant expressions, allow us to rise more fully into our spiritual beings, rising up into the higher vibration of joy.    To receive 8 of Agapi's top meditations, go to WakeUptotheJoyofYou.com or connect directly at agapi@unbindingtheheart.com.        Sacred Connection As always, this community is a sacred, safe place built on love and acceptance.

M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Moving From Unworthiness to Worthiness "We are all avoiding the relationship with ourselves which is sacred because we have to go there and love ourselves. You have to go and love the part that feels unworthy. How do you move from unworthiness to worthiness? You bring your love, heart, and compassion." - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Your Soul's Calling "The reason why I have so much compassion now for anybody who says, 'I don't feel like I know my place in the world. I don't feel like I belong. I feel like a stranger in a strange land.' So, I tell them, 'My darling, let me tell you how that is the case for most of us. If you really think that people get up in the morning and feel like they belong in this world, there are very rare cases of that and God bless them if they feel that way. 99% of people walk around feeling amiss, feeling like they're not enough, and feeling the human condition. For me, my awareness was basically my soul had a calling to be here and to find itself without the man, the children, or a successful career. My soul had a calling to find it in the universality of its immense love and then my heart opened up."  - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Exploring Our Divine Intelligence "We have 37.2 trillion cells give or take that are giving us life in this moment. So, the fact that we all have Divine Intelligence and that we are more than our personalities, egos, or unique selves. When we go deep inside of ourselves in a meditative state, we can see that we are the ocean of love and mercy. We are the divine, the spirit, and the soul. And you do have a personality, a history, and your inner child but that all becomes part of your human experience. So, how you get to own that is to know that you are worthy of the love of the Divine that is your cells and the worthiness of that takes courage." - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Links From Today's Show 250 Dave Asprey Upgrade Labs Organifi Leave Wellness Force Radio a review Arianna Huffington HuffPost Thrive Global Byron Katie John-Roger Unbinding the Heart by Agapi Stassinopoulos Conversations with the Goddesses: Revealing the Divine Power Within You by Agapi Stassinopoulos Ram Dass Ram Dass, Becoming Nobody | Official Trailer Rumi M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Wake Up to the Joy of You by Agapi Stassinopoulos The Meditations by Agapi Stassinopoulos - Meditation on Awakening Your Joy Agapi Stassinopoulos Facebook Instagram Twitter   About Agapi Stassinopoulos Agapi Stassinopoulos a best-selling author and speaker who inspires audiences around the world.

I was so honored to have the opportunity to interview best selling author and highly sought-after speaker, Agapi Stassinopoulos on Extraordinary Women Radio this week. Agapi's most recent book is Wake Up to the Joy of You: 52 Meditations and Practices for a Calmer, Happier Life. This book is a treasure trove of how to live a life full of joy. We talk about mindfulness, meditation and intimacy with your SELF. We talk about the importance of knowing yourself from that deep inside place, and how the Universe can get all in behind you – and open all kinds of doors when you have that knowing of who you are. Agapi has a wise approach to life and we’re so aligned in our own inner truths and perhaps, even how we are both meant to making a difference on this earth! Agapi is a best-selling author and speaker who has inspired audiences around the world. In her previous book, Unbinding the Heart: A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity, and Unconditional Love, she shares the wisdom from her life’s adventures and experiences. I love this book – there are so many beautiful, funny and memorable stories that teaches us so much about life! Agapi was born and raised in Athens, Greece. At age 18, she entered the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and later moved to the United States to do film and television. In her books and in our interview, Agapi shares that acting didn’t quite work out the way she wanted it to – and in hindsight now, it’s pretty easy to see that the Universe had other plans for her.  The Universe kept dropping in the clues and pathways that led her to a different journey. I love stories like this. While her sister, Arianna Huffington, was doing research for her book about Greek mythology, Agapi’s love for the gods and goddesses was ignited and led to Agapi’s own first two books—Conversations with the Goddesses and Gods and Goddesses in Love. In addition her journey led her to creating a one-woman show and a PBS special – Conversations with the Goddesses. "Joy is an inner stream that is bubbling all the time" ~Agapi Stassinopoulos Agapi has been featured on Oprah.com, HuffPost Live, CBS’s The Talk, and The Martha Stewart Show, among many others. She has spoken at conferences for the American Heart Association, The Spirit of Women, the Whole Foods Leadership Academy, Time Inc., the Girl Scouts of America, TEDx, Wisdom 2.0 Conference, Nike, Starbucks, Kaiser Permanente, and many more. "Inhabit your heart." ~Agapi Stassinopoulos To learn more about Agapi and to follow her work, visit her web site at unbindingtheheart.com or follow her on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
