Imagine if change in our own lives could happen that quickly!But the truth is, it doesn't work that way. Even those shows don't show the countless hours of preparation and the many people involved in the process. If we want to see real transformation in our lives, we need certain key elements. That's what we're discussing in today's show. So, “Move that Bus!” and tune in!Life Transformation Takes DesirePeople who excel in things are passionate about itIf you want to change your life, you have to want to do itYou have to have a desire and a motivation to make it happenThe desire has to move past momentary feelingsWe have to find our way and internalize our desire or our transformation will be short-lived or won't even startLife Transformation Takes WorkIf we want to see change in our lives it will take work on our partWe can learn things from people but we still have to do the workThis means we will often crawl before we walkNot everything comes easyGet rid of the expectation to be instantly good at something and decide to go on the journeyLife Transformation Takes TimeTransformation is a life-long process and we are never doneThere isn't a finish line in lifeRetirement isn't a finish lineThere is always something for you to grow and transform inWhen you decide that you are on a journey, you can relax and enjoy itCHALLENGE:What is an area you need to do transformative work in?

See The Upside - Uplifting conversations about real life after divorce
At a recent party a close friend of mine asked me if I had gotten hot flashes yet. My response was: "I don't know, what does that feel like? How would I know." She laughed and then responded - "OHHHHH honey, you would KNOW!" This sparked my interest in menopause and perimenopause. I basically knew liternally nothing. This was not something my mom EVER mentioned and my friends haven't really talked much about it either. So this episode was truly inspired by me wanting to know what to expect. What happens to our bodies? When does it start? What can we do to make it easier/better/less....hard? In this episode I interview Integrative Health Practitioner Sheryl Carroll who is younger than me (by a FEW years!) and has become an expert on perio/menopause as a result of her own experience. In the episode we talk about: The difference between perimenopause and menopauseWhen do symptoms start and how can we reduce the impact of themHow genetics vs lifestyle factor inWhen does perimenopause start and whyWhat are things that can make it worseHow stress affects menopauseWhich hormones are changing and howStages of perimenopauseThe age ranges that perimenopause can start What are symptoms of perio menopause and menopauseHow HRT works and how to know if it's right for youWhat supplements and herbs can help the most This conversation covers SO much on this topic, most importantly, that there are things we can do TODAY to slow down the arrival of menopause and we have lots of choices how to handle it when it arrives. There is zero reason this needs to be such a mystery and there are a TON of resources out there. So reassuring.

Ready to go quantum?Trauma, emotions, stress, consciousness & energy all influence our physical, mental & emotional well-being, but getting to the root is dismissed as “woo” and often goes unaddressed. We are entangled in the interconnected network of information, and the human body is part of this web, and our health is dependent upon the body's ability to process this information energetically.You'll want to listen to the end of today's episode to discover how you can start to quickly and easily bring cutting edge, researched-based solutions that address this missing link of regenerative energetic health into your very own home. Trust me - my guest and I know that the Universal Language of quantum energy is complex but it's important to know that this is the one multi-dimensional language that is understood by all of life. I've personally leveraged Quantum technology for three years and I wouldn't be able to help clients as deeply as I can - if not for the ability to assist in tuning the human resonance So….with that said, My friend Philipp Samor is back for a second time to the Awaken Beauty Podcast to discuss the incredible advancements in his frequency technology. What you'll learn :What Is Quantum Healing and Why Is It So Powerful? What is stealing our energy, and the critical need to replenish. Lack of nutrients affect brain growth factorsBrain growth factors are necessary for keeping the neuron branches healthy and connected, so that proper signals can be sent. Many nutrients have been shown to increase brain growth factor levels. A lack of these same nutrients leads to brain cell shrinkage and brain cell death. It's not a stretch to imagine that this could play a significant role in mental illnesses.The power of the boy's ability to heal itself, and the lost language of energy. We are reminding the body of it's energetic state of coherence. How frequencies impact HRVFight-or-flight mode, the variation between subsequent heartbeats is low. If one is in a more relaxed state, the variation between beats is high. The healthier the ANS the faster you are able to switch gears, showing more resilience and flexibility. The "EMF soup" we're all living inWhen we move the energy and unblock - the movement in deep healing moves dis-ease out of the facia and healthy reintegration and balance back in.The quantum and infinity blocs - the difference neutral and charging frequencies with food, jewelry, pharmaceutical and supplements and clothing Energetic health measured on Hawkins scaleThe launch of several new exciting frequenciesCurrent and near new studies on: chronic lyme, autism, dark field microscopyFrequency partnership with Kassandra to help support ADHDThe future of frequencies and EMF Your body is a battery. The structured water lining every cell in the body is negatively charged. The universe is an interconnected network of information and energy. The human body is part of this web of relationships and our health is dependent upon the body's correct processing of this information and energy.It is possible to analyze the holographic human body field to determine if there are distortions in or blocks to the flow of energy and information that affect the state of our health. Correcting distortions in the human body-field can help return the body to homeostasis, which refers to the body's ability to maintain equilibrium, a process that is dependent on the body's own self healing intelligence.About Phillip: Philipp is the founder and CEO of Leela Quantum Tech, a kundalini yoga teacher, energy healer, and pioneer in modern frequency medicine. In parallel to a successful international business career - Phillip has done his diligence by walking through blockages and barriers that prevented him to truly connect with his true self. With that, he started to also see energy fields and developed his unique skills as a healer. His core competency is to transform energetic blockages, and to open the hidden treasures within one's self. During his business career he worked as an executive for several well known companies, including T-Mobile where he served as Vice President.Resources:- Purchase the Power of Leela Quantum Tech HERE
Perfectionism and pleasure are oil and water. They don't mix! Perfectionists set impossible standards for ourselves, and when we are unable to meet these expectations, we are in our heads and say mean things to ourselves. And this certainly is not an environment where pleasure can enter. I am a recovering perfectionist, and despite all the work I have done in this area of my life, it is still there. The key is to be able to identify those thoughts and create awareness so that we can love ourselves through it. In this episode, let's take a deeper look at identifying those thoughts, the different areas of our lives where it can disrupt our pleasure, and what we can do about it.Topics In This EpisodePerfection is subjectiveWhat would perfect even look like? Is it even realistic?When perfectionism keeps you from setting goalsThe physical impact that damaging self-talk can have on youHolding on to this idea of perfect does not serve youCreating a container for pleasure to thrive inWhen we extend our perfectionism and expectations to our partnersA quick note! I am planning an upcoming Q&A episode on the podcast. If you have a question you would like for me to answer, send an email to team@daniellesavory.com and use the subject, “Podcast Q&A”. I want to assure you that these will be kept completely anonymous. This is your opportunity to ask me anything. Nothing is TMI or off-limits. As always, it's been my absolute pleasure to share this conversation with you about perfectionism in the world, and how it wreaks havoc on our pursuit of pleasure. Take a look at it for you. When you notice that you are berating yourself, it's a chance to be aware, and show yourself love. Are you ready to not feel this way anymore? If you're ready, make the decision to work on your perfectionism for the sake of your pleasure.

Aligning to the Season of Life You're InWhen you recognise and own the season of life that you're in, you can give yourself permission to enjoy, or perhaps get what you need (such as rest, healing) from that season.If you're in a particular season of life, perhaps focused on young kids, but define your success by a different season - perhaps a time when you were work-focused, or by comparing yourself to someone else who has is able to devote a lot more time and energy to their business/career, you can create unnecessary stress for yourself. How can you align to the season of life you're in?I share three steps with you in this episode:Identify the season of life you're in. Work-focused, young kids, new relationship, health, reflective, busy, connected to the actual season (eg Winter, Summer)Identify your top priorities in this season - aim for threeCheck - do your actions align with your priorities? What is one change you could make to ensure you're more aligned?Find the video or read the article for this episode at: http://alignandattract.com/blog/18I mentioned my chat with Amy Crawford about Identity on her Woman podcast - find that here.Connect with me on Instagram: http://instagram.com/kerryrowett or Facebook: http://facebook.com/awakenkinesiology
https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessrlarsen/ (Jess Larsen) started his finance career on a mergers and acquisitions team with Citi. Later he founded several businesses; the three companies he currently co-owns arehttps://www.graystokeinvestments.com/ ( Graystoke Investments),https://www.graystokeadvisors.com/ ( Graystoke Advisors), andhttps://www.graystokemedia.com/ ( Graystoke Media). Jess was previously the Director of Special Operations and Intelligence Agencies practice for the management consulting firm the Arbinger Institute. Ten years ago, he co-founded a charity calledhttps://www.childrescueassociation.org/ ( Child Rescue Association) that combats child trafficking through prevention campaigns, aftercare support, and undercover rescue missions. You can listen to him regularly on his podcast,https://www.graystokemedia.com/episode ( Innovation & Leadership with Jess Larsen). “Cash flow is king.” Jess Larsen Worst investment everWhen Jess was in his twenties, he left Southern California and went back home to Canada, where he started an energy-focused private equity fund. Then some friends got him and his small group of friends into a deal with a billionaire. They co-invested in a company with exclusive rights to bring renewable energy technology for small hydro from Europe. The company had big deals tied up with guaranteed investment contracts from the Ontario government. Jess, his brother, and his partner did their due diligence, and everything was smelling like roses. The group decided to invest two and a half million dollars into the company. Failing to have controls in placeOne thing that Jess and the other investors failed to do was to verify what sort of a person the CEO was. They also did not have controls in place to determine how the CEO should use money from investors. They optimistically just assumed the guy would do what he said he would do. Instead of using the money to install the first unit, which could make the business cash flow positive, he started 12 other projects just to claim he had a good portfolio going. He thought this would make his portfolio more attractive for fundraising. So while the CEO was chasing other projects, he ran the business out of money. CEO manages to get more fundingInterestingly, somehow the CEO got a $50 billion public company to co-invest with the company. Jess tried to warn the new co-investors about how the CEO was running the company, but they chose to trust the CEO and invested $4 million. True to Jess’s prediction, the CEO squandered $4 million into useless projects that were not part of what he had promised his investors. Lessons learnedDo not forget to think about the downside tooDo not get too excited about the upside that you forget to think and prepare for a downside. Think about a scenario where your investment goes sideways. What if you need to remove the CEO or minority shareholder? What is the process to follow? Factor in such essential details before you sign on the dotted line. Cash flow is kingWhen you arehttps://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep192-sampath-mallidi-your-startup-should-always-have-paying-customers/ ( cash flow positive), you have a runway to make mistakes, experiment, and still survive, and have another swing at entrepreneurship. Do not let over-optimism make you forget about risk managementThe over-optimism that turns somebody into an entrepreneur can sometimes be a hindrance in being an investor. It can make you relax and forget about managing your risk. Andrew’s takeawaysThere is no hack, shortcut, or secret to building trust; it builds over timeDo not just trust anyone right off the bat or after working with them for a short while. Always remember that trust is built over time. Ensure there are controls within the company you are investing inWhen investing in a company, ensure that controls within the business and on the money are strong. During your research process, find out if the accounts are in order and...
