If you're feeling burnt out, wired but tired, or like manifestation just isn't working lately — this episode is for you.  Today, I'm diving into the real cost of being stuck in chronic fight or flight — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. . Join The Retreat – limited spots open!! Sept 19-22nd, 2025. . In this episode we'll explore how this stress response quietly runs the show in your life, why it's the #1 block to intuitive guidance and manifestation, and most importantly — what you can do about it.

In this podcast we will be talking about how to discover your life purpose from the wisdom of 5 different philosophers. The 5 philosophers we will be talking about for finding purpose in this video are Albert Camus, Marcus Aurelius, Buddha, Lao Tzu and Krishna. Have you ever felt like life's meaning is slipping away, and you're left asking—what's the point? You're not alone. For most of human history, finding purpose was simple. In ancient times, people looked to religion, kings, or societal traditions to define their purpose. Whether you were a farmer, a soldier, or a scholar, your role in life was clear. You were part of something bigger, guided by divine forces or the rules of society. Life had meaning because it was shaped by something beyond you, something you were meant to serve or contribute to. But over time, this certainty began to break down. With the rise of science, reason, and secular ideas, many people stopped relying on religion or tradition to find meaning in life. The world started to look very different, and so did our understanding of purpose and this is where the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche comes in. He famously said that "God is dead." Now, Nietzsche didn't mean that God literally died, but rather that the old beliefs that gave life meaning were no longer relevant in the modern world. Religion and traditional ways of thinking had lost their hold over people's lives. What followed was a void—a space where the clear answers we once had about life's purpose no longer existed and in this void, many people felt lost. With no higher power or guiding principle to follow, we were left to figure things out for ourselves. Some people found freedom in this new world, embracing the opportunity to shape their own meaning. Yet, for others, the void became overwhelming, leaving them feeling lost, disconnected, and adrift in a world that seemed indifferent, uncaring, and chaotic. This is the challenge we face today: we are free to create our own meaning, but it's not always easy. The search for purpose can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it leads to frustration or emptiness. So, how do we find purpose in a world without clear answers? That's what this video is about. We're about to explore five different philosophies that offer ways to create meaning in life. This video is a mix of Western philosophy, Eastern spirituality, and ancient wisdom, all compiled to help you find your life's true purpose. By blending these diverse teachings, we'll explore how each philosophy offers practical insights that can guide you toward living a more meaningful and fulfilled life in a world that no longer provides clear answers.  So here are 5 Brilliant Philosophers on Discovering Your Life's True Purpose -  01. Albert Camus - Rebel Against the Absurdity of life 02. Marcus Aurelius - Meet life with Virtue and Acceptance 03. Buddha - Finding Purpose In Letting Go 04. Lao Tzu - Finding your Purpose in the flow of your life 05. Krishna - Surrender to the divine I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast and hope that these lessons from 5 Brilliant Philosophers on Discovering Your Life's True Purpose will help you discover your life's true purpose. 

You're doing everything right, staying productive, chasing growth, keeping up. But what if the discomfort you feel isn't a sign that you need to do more, but a signal to let go? In this episode, Charlie Gilkey and I explore the Tao Te Ching, which is one of my favorite books of all time, but not as a relic from the past, but as a guide for navigating the speed and complexities of modern life, including the rise of AI.We talk about how ancient wisdom can live side by side with new technology and how presence, simplicity, and inner alignment still matter, now more than ever,The Tao Te Ching is one of those books I keep coming back to. Ancient wisdom, wrapped in poetry, that somehow feels more relevant every year. Like this line: “If you look to others for happiness, you will never be happy. If your well-being depends on money, you will never be content.“Simple. Clear. Actually useful.I've teamed up with Rebind.ai to create an interactive edition of the Tao—forty essential verses, translated into plain, everyday language, with space to reflect, explore, and ask questions.

Welcome back to the Awakening Her Podcast! ✨ In today's episode, we're getting real and grounded about manifestation. There's so much noise in the online space telling you it's all about thoughts, mindset, or visualizing perfectly… but the truth is, manifestation is energetic and physical. It's about who you're being and what you're actually doing in your life. We're diving into:

In Part 2 of our exploration of The Ages, we move from cosmic timescales to the deeply personal experience of transformation. Opening with a powerful quote from Lao Tzu that could have been written yesterday, we examine how ancient wisdom speaks directly to our current "hysterical, impulsive" cultural moment and what it means to find patterns beneath the chaos. The conversation explores the difference between cosmetic change and genuine transformation - whether in organizations, relationships, or personal growth. We discuss why so many attempts at change fail when they only address surface issues while leaving the underlying "note" or frequency unchanged. Real transformation requires going through what's called "crossing the burning ground" - a process that demands both courage and patience. We examine the transition from masculine-dominated leadership to a more balanced integration of both masculine and feminine principles within individuals and organizations. This isn't about replacing one gender with another, but about learning to embody both the capacity to plant seeds (masculine) and create fertile space for growth (feminine). The episode explores what this integration looks like practically in leadership, relationships, and personal development. The discussion culminates with the powerful metaphor of humanity as caterpillars facing the choice between "gluing wings on our backs" or having the courage to enter the chrysalis stage of genuine transformation. For anyone navigating major life changes or feeling called to deeper authenticity, this episode offers both wisdom and encouragement for the journey through uncertainty to emergence.

Hey beautiful soul, and welcome back to the Awakening Her Podcast! Nature… is one of the most powerful teachers we have.  So today I'm sharing 5 deep soul lessons from nature — wisdom that  I have received by witnessing how everything is already so perfectly designed. Mentioned in this episode:

Transcendence Meditation for Inner Wisdom & Deep ClarityWelcome to this powerful guided transcendence meditation designed to help you tune into your inner wisdom, release self-doubt, and uncover the deep clarity that already exists within you.

In today's episode, we're exploring something that's often overlooked in the world of manifestation, goal-setting, and soul growth — the pause. If you've been focused on your dreams, doing the work, expanding your self-awareness, and still feeling like something's calling you to slow down… this message is for you. Pausing isn't weakness — it's wisdom. It's not a break from your growth — it is the growth. In this conversation, I'm sharing a spiritual and practical perspective on why intentional rest and recalibration are vital parts of your success path. And how to build that pause right into your plan — so your manifestation process becomes more grounded, present, and powerful. This isn't about burnout. It's about balance. It's about honouring your body, your energy, and your soul's pace. Inside this episode: Why even aligned, inspired goals can still lead to fatigue if we don't pause How to build rest, ease, and flow into your manifestation and business plan The spiritual role of the pause in intuitive alignment Journal prompts to reflect and integrate your next level with more grace Prompts: Where in my life or business could a sacred pause create more space for clarity, ease, and joy? How can I honour both the desire to grow and the need to be present with what already is?

Welcome back! This is a healing conversation on how to notice when you're acting from fear, control, or survival — and how to gently shift back to your truth. In this episode, I'm guiding you into a deeper understanding of the difference between the habits of your highest self and the habits that are actually rooted in trauma responses. It's not always obvious — sometimes the things that look spiritual, productive, or “healthy” are actually coming from fear, control, or survival energy. We'll explore: The energetic signature behind your habits How to identify when you're leading from truth vs. fear Real-life examples that bring this into focus Gentle, powerful questions to help you shift This conversation is a soft landing and a wake-up call — not from shame, but from sovereignty. If you've ever felt like you're “doing the work” but still stuck, or like your actions don't always match your inner alignment, this episode is your mirror and your medicine. I Talk About: The core differences between trauma-response habits and highest self habits How fear can disguise itself as productivity, healing, or service Why the energy behind the habit matters more than the habit itself Real examples from daily life where we unknowingly act from survival How to shift gently back into alignment Questions to help you discern your true motivation MENTIONED...

Selected verses from the "Hua Hu Ching" by Lao Tzu. The Hua Hu Ching is a book containing later teachings attributed to Lao Tzu, the author of the Tao Te Ching. It is also known as "The Educate the Barbarians Sutra". While the Tao Te Ching is widely known and revered, the Hua Hu Ching's teachings are believed to be of equal importance. The Hua Hu Ching's teachings focus on attaining enlightenment and mastery through a path similar to the Tao Te Ching. They offer a practical guide to living a virtuous life, embracing the present moment, and discovering one's true self. The Hua Hu Ching's history is somewhat mysterious. While the original text was discovered in the Mogao Caves, it was also banned and ordered to be burned during a time of political turmoil in the 14th century. As a result, there are few complete and accurate manuscripts today, but the teachings have been preserved through oral transmission by Taoist masters.

Always excited when Ethan Indigo Smith joins me to share his innovative ideas that connect East and West, Hermes and Lao Tzu. In this heresy, let's discover how fundamental geometric structures relate to understanding subtle energy, the universe's architecture, and meditation practice. We'll also explore a framework for self-development, guiding you toward individuation and connection with universal energies. There will be plenty of Hermeticism, Taoism, and other anarchist spirituality for your liberation. Check out his book, The Geometry of Energy: How to Meditate.

Verse 79 is TTC's main place where Lao Tzu frames “score-keeping” with “faith-keeping”. So in this verse we look at the various ways we injure ourselves (and our futures) with strict accounting of alleged slights we see someone giving us. The resentments build until one of two things happen: A complete breakdown of communication, or, the moment when someone stops practicing keeping-score and instead practices keeping-faith. We're almost finished with this podcast. But please, keep your podcast feed open, for bonus episodes, announcements, and for questions that come up from the class. My email is mmullinax@mhu.edu. We have a new podclass about to begin: Chandler Schroeder and I are conspiring (which means to breathe together) on a new schedule of a series of related podcasts on religion, the ideas of religion, faith, and how the imagination fuels these. The pods we have begun to work on are based uponChandler's career as a counselor, and my 30-year teaching career in New York City, Asheville, NC, and Seoul, Korea. We have already a YouTube channel called TheTechnicolor Dreamcoat of Religion“ where you can subscribe now for updates and our first semester of classes on howreligions get made. (https:www.youtube.com@TechnicolorDreamcoatofReligion)You can also keep this podcast feed - Power for the Peaceful - open, and you'll get all the introductory updates.

In this episode, I'm bringing you a permission slip - you're allowed to outgrow your life, your relationships, your habits, your career, and the version of you that got you here. We talk about how outgrowing isn't "bad", it's a sign of growth. I share what happens as your vibration naturally rises through healing, alignment, and perspective shifts — and how that creates friction with lower-vibe patterns or people that no longer resonate. If you've been feeling like certain things just don't fit anymore, this episode will help you trust your process, your frequency, and your future.

Today's episode is your divine invitation back to the only place your transformation can truly begin: the present moment. If you've been feeling disconnected, waiting for something to click, or wondering how to speed up your manifestations — this conversation is the reset your soul has been craving. Inside this sacred transmission, Talia Joy guides you into a deeper understanding of what it means to be fully present—not just conceptually, but embodied, activated, and open to receiving everything that is already here for you. This is more than a reminder. This is a spiritual key. And when you integrate it, your path becomes clearer, your nervous system calms, and your manifestations begin to accelerate with ease. In this episode, we talk about... ✨ Why the present moment is the only portal to the Divine, intuition, and manifestation ✨ How the quantum field responds to your energy in the now (not the future) ✨ The spiritual assignment behind every desire: can you find it within before it arrives? ✨ A powerful nervous system reframe that brings you into calm and groundedness ✨ How presence magnetizes abundance, health, love, and peace—without chasing ✨ A gentle five senses practice to help you anchor into the now and regulate your energy

Today's episode of Bookwaves/Artwaves is preempted by special programming for KPFA's 2025 Spring Fund Drive. Mitch Jeserich reads excerpts from the classic writings The Way of Chuang Tzu, translated by Thomas Merton. Thomas Merton composed a series of his own versions of the classic sayings of Chuang Tzu, the most spiritual of Chinese philosophers. Chuang Tzu, who wrote in the fourth and third centuries B.C., is the chief authentic historical spokesperson for Taoism and its founder Lao Tzu (a legendary character known largely through Chuang Tzu's writings). Indeed it was because of Chuang Tzu and the other Taoist sages that Indian Buddhism was transformed, in China, into the unique vehicle we now call by its Japanese name: Zen.

Welcome back! Today we are talking about THE GAP between when we know something and when we start living it. You've read the books, taken the courses, uncovered your patterns, and developed incredible self-awareness. But here's the question... are you living it? In this episode, we're diving into the in-between phase on the path of transformation: the gap between knowing and living. This is where real change happens — not in the head, but in the heart, in the body, in the choices you make daily. We explore: Why you might be stuck in the cycle of "I already know that" How fear, identity, and nervous system disregulation keep you from stepping into your next level The real reason it's easier to gather information than it is to act on it How to close the gap and start embodying your truth now — even if you don't feel ready Supportive Journal Prompts: What do I know but still struggle to live? Where am I waiting to feel “ready” before I act? What would my highest self choose today? Keep Walking Your Path: Want to go deeper into embodiment, energy mastery, and next-level alignment?

Welcome back! Today's episode is a powerful one — because we're going deep into the trinity within us: the Ego, the Inner Child, and the Higher Self. We'll start from a spiritual perspective — zooming way out to remember why we are designed this way as souls choosing to evolve through our human experience. Each part of us is purposeful. Sacred. Designed for our growth. Then, I'll guide you through the distinct role each part plays: ✨ The Inner Child — innocence, emotion, and unmet needs

In today's episode, I'm diving into something we all go through on the path: repeating patterns. You know the ones — the emotional triggers, the stuck habits, the way we shrink or spin out even though we know better. I've been there too, and I want to walk you through what's really going on under the surface when you keep looping back into the old. We're talking about the deeper energetic and spiritual layers of why we repeat things — and how to break through them once and for all. These are the kinds of perspective shifts that light a fire in your soul. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why it's not your fault that the same patterns repeat How our nervous system and identity can keep us locked in loops What's really going on from a soul perspective when you keep getting the same lesson The deeper reason your growth feels hard sometimes How to create safety to evolve into your next-level self What it means to embody change, not just know what to do   A few journal prompts for you to explore after listening: What's one pattern that keeps showing up for you right now?

What happens when the afterlife doesn't want you — yet? In this unforgettable installment of The Journey Beyond Death, we dive into three riveting near-death experiences that challenge our assumptions about free will, divinity, and soul purpose. Part 17 is also the seventh entry in our transformative eight-part series featuring firsthand NDE accounts. We begin with Peter Bedard, whose moped crash at age 17 launched him out of his body and into a realm of unspeakable beauty. There, he met a luminous being with an energy reminiscent of Lao Tzu, who told him — bluntly — that his arrival was a cosmic mistake. Bedard's tale, both humorous and heartfelt, explores the shock of being "kicked out of heaven" and the deep yearning that follows such an experience. We're also joined by Peter Vittar, who lends his own reflections on soul contracts, the pain of reincarnating against one's will, and the subtle comedy woven into cosmic design. Psychic medium Karyn Reece reveals a multidimensional journey involving departed loved ones and lush celestial landscapes, while Howard Storm recounts his harrowing descent into a dark realm — and his unexpected rescue by a radiant being of light that transformed his atheism into lifelong spiritual devotion. This episode explores moral responsibility, spiritual awakening, the concept of multidimensional lives, and why death may be the most honest mirror we ever face.

The Journey Beyond Death continues with Part 16 of its compelling 18-part series and marks the sixth installment in the eight-part segment focused on individuals who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). In this episode, we spotlight three extraordinary guests—Peter Bedard, Karyn Reece, and Howard Storm—each of whom crossed the threshold of life and death and returned with transformative insights that challenge everything we think we know about existence. Peter Bedard was just a teenager when a devastating accident flung him out of his body and into a realm of pure awareness. What he found there—a tunnel of spinning light, a mysterious guide resembling Lao Tzu, and a sense of overwhelming peace—shaped his life's mission. Today, Peter helps others heal emotional wounds through his method, Convergence Healing. Karyn Reece, a gifted psychic medium, shares her emotionally rich near-death experience involving a vibrant, otherworldly meadow and a reunion with passed loved ones. Despite her longing to remain in the afterlife, she was told she had more work to do. Her story touches on soul contracts, multidimensional awareness, and the thin veil between the living and the dead. Howard Storm's account is perhaps the most jarring. A former atheist, Howard describes a terrifying descent into darkness where hostile beings tormented him—until a desperate prayer summoned a radiant presence he identifies as Jesus. Rescued, shown a life review, and filled with divine love, Howard's journey became a spiritual reckoning that altered his path forever. --------------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 02:00 – NDE Survivor Peter Bedard 19:20 – NDE Survivor & Psychic Medium Karyn Reece 28:26 – NDE Survivor Howard Storm --------------------------------- Peter Bedard Peter Bedard is an NDE survivor, author, and healing expert who integrates science and spirituality to help people overcome trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain.

Welcome back!! In this episode, I'm bringing you a truth that most people skip over on the journey of growth and expansion… and it's this: If you're here to rise big, you need to root deep. We live in a world that glamorizes fast growth, quantum leaps, and next-level everything—but what's often missing is the sacred preparation that happens beneath the surface. True transformation isn't just about going higher—it's about grounding deeper into who you are. I share the power of anchoring your energy, what it actually means to “root,” and why this season of slowing down or breaking down may not mean you're off track—it may mean you're being prepared for more than you can even imagine. If you're calling in more clarity, income, impact, or alignment, this episode will help you understand why the foundation you create now is what will hold and sustain everything you're building. This is one of those episodes that will bring you back home to yourself, again and again. In this episode, I talk about: Why deep roots are essential to rise higher The energetic & spiritual truth behind “slow” seasons What bamboo, palm trees, and real growth have in common How to know if you're in a rooting season (and why it's sacred) Why your nervous system and environment matter more than ever The real work behind sustainable expansion Practical ways to ground, stabilize, and create safety within Soul preparation vs. punishment—and why the void is powerful   Reflection Questions: Where am I being invited to slow down and ground more deeply? What am I trying to leap toward without first creating safety and stability? What foundational practices or support do I need to sustain my next level? What roots am I being asked to deepen so I can truly rise?   If you loved this episode: ✨ Share it with a sister who's in a season of preparation or transition. ✨ Tag me on Instagram so I can celebrate your breakthroughs. ✨ Leave a review—it means the world and helps more women find this medicine. You are not behind. You are being rooted. And your rise is inevitable.

As we near the end of Tao te Ching's 81 verses, we see Lao Tzu revisit some high themes we've seen before. Today's verse 76treats how our grounding and rootage in the Way of Tao leads to a flexible, supple, resiliency, which leads to a longer or better life than one dedicated to grasping, getting hard-set and inflexible. In today's podclass I provide some practices and ideas for living softly and nimbly, as well as reminder of those practices and ideas that we “can” practice that leads only hardening of life's categories, to brittleness and dryness, leading perhaps to small deaths even before our final death.Here's our Mantra: “Soft at the center, strongin the flow.”Reminder!

In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most powerful and overlooked truths in personal and spiritual growth: letting go is just as important, if not more important, than taking action. We're often taught to push, strive, and do more to get what we want. But I believe the real miracles happen in the let-go. When we soften our grip and surrender what no longer serves, we create sacred space for the new to arrive. In this conversation, I'll guide you through how to recognize the signs of a spiritual breakdown (and why that's not a bad thing), how the law of subtraction works in your favor, and how to start releasing on all four levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. This episode is grounding, activating, and designed to help you come home to yourself.   I Dive Into: Why letting go is often the missing piece How breakdowns are invitations to release what's no longer aligned The Law of Subtraction Why decluttering your life creates portals for your desires The 4 levels of letting go: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual Where to start   Journal/Thought Prompt: “What am I still holding that no longer serves me—and what sacred space am I ready to create for what's next?”   . ✔️ Talia's Books >> https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B0DV17N8VD ✔️ Retreat: September 19–22, 2025 — Pacific Northwest Join us for 3 sacred days of soul connection, deep rest, and full activation.

Behind The Scenes Update + What's Coming - In today's quick and honest update, I'm sharing from the heart about what's been unfolding behind the scenes — deep growth, letting go, and fully aligning with what matters most. You'll hear: Why I'm slightly shifting the podcast flow What's coming soon: my book, The Path App, and the fall in-person event! Details on the Awakening Her Retreat happening this September   ✨ Retreat: September 19–22, 2025 — Pacific Northwest Join us for 3 sacred days of soul connection, deep rest, and full activation.

Welcome to this deeply calming guided meditation for transcendence, inspired by the profound wisdom of Lao Tzu:   "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."   This meditation is designed to help you release self-doubt, let go of limiting beliefs, and surrender to the boundless potential of the present moment. We often hold on to stories about who we are—our past, our roles, our fears. But when we release these attachments, we step into true freedom, clarity, and inner peace. Using sound as an anchor, we gently shift awareness beyond thoughts, beyond the need to define ourselves, and into a state of deep presence and transcendence.   ✨ What You'll Experience in This Meditation: ✔ Wisdom Reflection: Explore Lao Tzu's teachings on surrender and self-discovery. ✔ Letting Go Practice: Release resistance, past conditioning, and the need to define yourself. ✔ Sound as Your Anchor: A steady, neutral guide to help you transcend mental distractions. ✔ Transcendence Practice: Move beyond overthinking and reconnect with your true, limitless self.  

Today's episode is your divine invitation back to the only place your transformation can truly begin: the present moment. If you've been feeling disconnected, waiting for something to click, or wondering how to speed up your manifestations — this conversation is the reset your soul has been craving. Inside this sacred transmission, Talia Joy guides you into a deeper understanding of what it means to be fully present—not just conceptually, but embodied, activated, and open to receiving everything that is already here for you. This is more than a reminder. This is a spiritual key. And when you integrate it, your path becomes clearer, your nervous system calms, and your manifestations begin to accelerate with ease. In this episode, we talk about... ✨ Why the present moment is the only portal to the Divine, intuition, and manifestation ✨ How the quantum field responds to your energy in the now (not the future) ✨ The spiritual assignment behind every desire: can you find it within before it arrives? ✨ A powerful nervous system reframe that brings you into calm and groundedness ✨ How presence magnetizes abundance, health, love, and peace—without chasing ✨ A gentle five senses practice to help you anchor into the now and regulate your energy

Verse 75 recapitulates some themes we havealready seen in Tao Te Ching. Today we focus on how these themes are not Lao Tzu's alone, but have wide and universal appreciation throughout the world's spiritual traditions, philosophies, psychologies, and artistic endeavors. Thiswas so fun for me, and I hope you enjoy it, too. May your days begin with unclenched and empty hands, to become the sources for peace and hope in your world today.

Welcome back! In this episode  I'm diving deep into what it actually means to be the change in your own life. This phrase is more than a meme or an inspiring quote on Instagram—it's a frequency. A standard. A call forward. And if you're anything like me, or like the driven seekers in our community, you've felt that pull to embody the life you're creating, not just journal about it or think about it during full moons.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, Laura Lummer dives into the real—and often overlooked—challenges of making and maintaining lifestyle changes after a breast cancer diagnosis. Starting with a powerful quote from Lao Tzu, “If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading,” Laura reflects on the emotional weight, conditioned beliefs, and survival instincts that make behavior change both essential and incredibly difficult.  Whether you've felt stuck in old habits or overwhelmed by the pressure to be “perfectly healthy,” this episode offers a refreshing and compassionate perspective. Laura shares scientific research, personal stories, and practical strategies to help you make lasting, loving changes that align with your true values—not fear.    What You'll Learn in This Episode:  Why trauma and resistance often block behavior change after breast cancer  How conditioned thinking and emotional fatigue affect your motivation  The two extremes: falling back into old habits or going “all in” out of fear  The surprising science on why a diagnosis alone isn't enough to change behavior  How to set meaningful, manageable goals without stress or shame  The importance of self-compassion and social support in sustainable change  How fear-based “health perfectionism” may actually harm your peace    Powerful Quotes: 

Welcome back! In this episode, I'm sharing a truth that's been landing deeper and deeper in my body: Rest isn't weakness. It's wisdom. It's wealth. It's a power move. I know how easy it is to feel like rest means we're falling behind… or to question if we've earned it yet. But the truth is, if you're always “on,” always in output, you're leaking your magic. You're bypassing the integration. And integration is where the transformation actually lands. This is a conversation for the woman who is holding a lot, who is leading herself, who is building something meaningful — and who's ready to stop glorifying burnout and start embodying mastery. Let this be your permission slip to unplug, reset, and remember that your energy field is louder than your to-do list. Rest is where your next level roots in.  Inside This Episode, I Share: How rest actually amplifies your magnetism, impact, and income What happens when we stop forcing and start receiving How to create intentional rest Why your nervous system capacity is directly tied to your wealth trajectory Mentioned In This Episode:  Join us inside On The Path - This is the private membership community where this month is all about Quantum Manifestation and becoming her from the inside out.
