She is a certified Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, certified Life + Success Coach, and NLP + TIME Techniques Practitioner who guides clients more deeply into their intuition and their inner knowing ✨

In this episode of the Seek & Be podcast, I'm sitting down with Lauren Frontiera and having a conversation about all things intuition. Through her own journey of personal discovery, Lauren has used meditation to not only discover and connect with her intuition but it's become the foundation of the incredible work she does helping others discover their own powerful inner knowing. She shares how a lifetime of seeking external validation and living with a hustle mentality led her on a journey inward, to healing and unearthing her own powerful intuition. Now she's teaching others to do the same. Our heartfelt conversation covers the very first steps you can take to begin a meditation practice. Spoiler alert - it's way easier than you think! We also talk about connecting with and learning to trust your intuition and the transformative power it can have in your life. Lauren shares her practical steps for connecting to your intuition, even if you don't know where to start. She also gives us insight and the go-to tools she uses to easily and effectively incorporate meditation into her every day life. This episode is great for anyone wanting to learn more about meditation - especially if you're just beginning or your practice needs a boost of inspiration. If you've been curious about what it means to tap into the power of your intuition, this episode will have you feeling inspired and more confident to tap into your inner knowing. We are full of infinite wisdom and Lauren shows us how to use that powerful gift to change our lives.

She guides to women tap into their own inner wisdom and intuition, in order to heal their past, transform their present and consciously create their future.  We get into the battle we all face between our ego and our intuition, especially when we are contemplating change.

When relationships end and the two people have been living together, it's an obvious fact that someone is going to have to move out.  I know that here in Minnesota the courts like to see the mother remain in the home with the children whenever it is possible, which I admit is not always fair.  I am not sure what it is like in other parts of the world.  Initially, in my case, my husband, despite wanting to be with a different woman than the one he was married to (although I was still in complete denial about that at the time) and supposedly hating my stinking guts and telling anyone who would listen that I was a terrible mother...no my husband wanted me to stay in the house with him.  From the moment he declared his hatred of me, he had been relegated to the mattress in the basement.  My kids were small, and we bought our house because of the proximity of the master bedroom to the kids' rooms.  I was not going to sleep two floors away from them.  Gary liked this arrangement just fine.  I paid the bills every month.  He gave me a set amount of money, which left him some cash left over for fun.  I was working full time and making a good income, and he liked that too.  Gary likes money.  And, I think his primary focus in wanting us to "live in the house as friends" was that we could remain a dual income household, and also, perhaps, more importantly, he would not have to pay any additional money for the support of our children. But Gary had trouble lying.  He would disappear for hours on end and come home with the can of tuna he went to the store to get, and when I tried to talk to him at all, he yelled.  My kids had heard enough yelling in that month to last them a lifetime, and it was time for someone to go.  He refused to leave.  He suggested not so kindly that I leave, even going to the point of putting my clothes in trash bags and throwing them into the front yard one evening while I was at work.  When I started looking for a place to go, I really wanted to move back to Wisconsin near my family.  That was a no go for Gary stating that the primary reason is that he wanted to be able to coach Sam's baseball team someday and be there for all of the things.  I kind of understood that but also knew that a home to rent in Wisconsin would cost me a third of what one would cost in Minneapolis.  Gary tried to help by circling trailers for rent in the paper for me.  Now, don't get me wrong...a couple of my best friends have beautiful homes in trailer parks, it's not that I am opposed to a trailer...but when the man who is forcing you and your kids out of your 2800 square foot brand new home suggests this 1994 single wide trailer might make a nice residence...well, it gets you a little fired up.  Eventually, I found a shitty old house to rent that I could afford...we called it the poopy brown house, and we lived there until the crazy landlord pushed me over the edge.  Next came a big gorgeous house we couldn't afford and then my parents bought a house and allowed me to pay the mortgage to build my own equity and a future. Although we did our best to make homes in each of those houses, there was always something missing for us.  The house my parents bought, we lived in for nearly 7 years, and it was home for sure.  But it had a strange layout with both kids' rooms a floor below mine, a small living area that we didn't really all fit in, and even dining together was uncomfortable and cramped.  I wanted to find a different place, maybe something with a little land for a pony or a goat, and my then boyfriend and I started to look.  When it became really apparent that our priorities were not aligned and that relationship ended, I started looking more seriously on my own.  Then I lost my job.  So I stopped looking. Because of my many streams of income from self-employment and my part time job that I love, I wasn't too worried about finding a new full-time gig.  In fact, if it were not for the health insurance, I would have been happy to live that life forever.  I was pretty choosy about finding a new gig and when the chance to work for a local ambulance service in their education department came along, I was unsure.  I was very interested in the work, but the pay kinda sucked, and I didn't want to end up being a secretary and allowing all of my medical experience and expertise to go to waste.  At the time I was taking a course with the lovely and talented Lauren Frontiera called Re-Inspired (check out her Grit and Glitter podcast on iTunes) and in one of my one on one calls with her I was telling her how conflicted I was about giving up my dream of working from home and taking this job even though it wasn't necessarily what I wanted to be doing and Lauren said something magical to me that I will never forget.  She said, "I think you will find that there is a reason that you needed to take this job right now."  A few days after that call, I was driving through my old neighborhood and saw the for sale sign in that yard...in my yard.  And I knew what that had to mean. Within a week after starting my new job I put my house on the market, started doing as many improvements as I could with my meager savings and girl-level skills...and a couple of months ago, a week after completing my graduate degree in education...yep, I bought the house!!  On a 70 degree day in Minnesota in February (tell me that this wasn't completely meant to be!!) I moved my children back into our home.  When I tell people, some of them think that I am crazy.  Why would I ever want to live in that house again?  Doesn't it remind me of my husband? And that life?  Doesn't it make me sad? And the answer is a big fat, nope!  When I think of living in that house, I don't even think of him.  Shit, he traveled for work all of the time anyway...he was never around.  I don't think about him.  At all.   I think of running my daycare there, and the children that I loved (who are now nearly all adults--don't even get me started on that) and I think of the long happy days that I spent with my own babies, being a joyful threesome, being able to be home with them as they grew in our beautiful warm home.  In the weeks after we moved, nearly everyone I know has asked me "how is it being back in the old house?" Some of them ask from a place of love and acceptance, and I know that some of them are expecting me to confess that I might have made a mistake.  I answer the same way to each of them.  "It is awesome!"  This house is our home.  The last owners made some changes to it. They finished the basement, added a bathroom, took out some carpet and glammed up the kitchen...despite the fact that I keep getting confused because I must have had the silverware in a different drawer than it is in now... it still feels like home...and every fiber of my being responds to that feeling the moment that I walk in the door.  I wonder when that sensation of complete and utter joy that occasionally bursts into my consciousness and screams "I LIVE HERE" will wear off.  I hope it never does.  And I also hope that you, my dears, have the opportunity to experience the immense feeling of accomplishment that comes from knowing that you have done your best, worked your hardest, and have achieved everything you desired.  And I can't wait to hear about it.   Don't forget, you can support the podcast simply by visiting www.findingyourbestself.com/support and visiting vendors you would shop from anyway.

Today's mini-sode we're featuring a compilation of the best parts of people's days!   One question I ask every guest on the Day in the Life podcast is "what is the best part of your day."

For years I’ve believed that building a successful business was hard (and I know I’m not the only one). You never hear a success story where the founder shares about how wildly easy it’s been. After last week, though, I started questioning this. Does building a successful business really have to be so hard? Can it feel easy? I know these questions push the boundaries of the typical entrepreneur expectations … and I hope they do. I hope they encourage you to think about your business through a different lens. I know I’m excited to share with you what results I’ve already seen from this simple mindset shift.   LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: The Sisterhood: http://bit.ly/dubsadotrfe

We live in a society where emotions like fear, frustration, anger, and sadness are automatically associated with “hard” experiences. We’re so customized to expecting change to feel difficult that we don’t even allow the space for it to happen easily. What if building a business was easier? What if experiencing the doubts and the fears didn’t have to make the experience more difficult? If this episode resonates with you, I hope it leaves your heart feeling like mine does … a hell of a lot lighter.

”I am terrified to get up in front of a room full of people and put out something that I am creating with my whole heart … and give them full responsibility for the reaction to it.

Why are people not telling you how weird and awkward and hard it is to take a passion project and turn it into a business? I don’t know. But I am. Because I’ve been in this really awkward middle school dance for the past year, slow dancing like I haven’t a fucking clue back and forth between business and passion project … not really sure how to make the transition and start taking myself seriously. So, if no one else has, I’m going to tell you just how weird and awkward and hard this really has been.

“I’m a feminist business owner.” I said it out loud for the first time. But it was more of a question than a statement. And, then, all of the pieces started to fall into place. Why I’d felt scared of feminism. Why I was so worried about what others would think if I called myself a feminist.

WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? Hi, my name is Lauren, and I’m scared of change. There. I said it. No matter how much change I experience and how much my business continues to evolve, change scares the poo right outta me. So, in this episode, I’m sharing about why it scares me so flipping much, how luck plays a part in success (eek!

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: ”No matter how drained and empty I felt, I felt worthy. I felt good enough. Because society tells us that our worth is tied up in how hard we work, or how much we work, or how much we make. And how much we make is so often taught that it’s a reflection of how hard we work and how much it hurts to work that hard.” with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? When I started this new practice of getting into alignment before taking action, I had no idea that it would bring up so many self-limiting beliefs. But alas, last week showed me just how many of those beliefs I’ve been carrying around (and how much of my worth and identity were tied to how hard I efforted and worked my way to success). If you’re interested in alignment before action and giving it a try, listen to this first. I have a feeling we’re more similar than we are different and some of these very same things may come up for you, too.

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: ”I have been efforting my way towards trying to make some of these things happen for months now. And they haven’t. And the first week that I finally commit to getting in alignment before taking any action with the business, I make more progress than I collectively have made in the past four months.” with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? We’re taught to effort our way to success. We’re taught that in order to build and grow a successful business we must work so hard that it hurts. And I call bullshit. So, I’m trying something new. Inspired by Jess Lively, I’ve spent the past week focusing on getting in alignment before taking action. I’ve felt so much better, produced far better work, and seen more results than I’ve seen in months. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. So, in today’s episode, I’m sharing … what it means to get in alignment before taking action how this is different than what we’ve been taught what it means to effort your way to success what work feels like for me when I’m in alignment versus when I’m efforting my way to success some of the results I experienced over the past week SUBSCRIBE + LISTEN iTunes Stitcher LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: The Lively Show "Alignment Before Action" episode of The Lively Show

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: ”I should, I should, I should do all the fucking things and when I say it out loud, it just makes me angry because no I shouldn’t.” with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? If you haven’t read Elle Luna’s The Crossroads of Should and Must, I can’t recommend it enough (had to refrain from saying YOU SHOULD just then…). I was so inspired by the book that today’s entire episode is all about it. I’m sharing the shoulds and musts (if you’re like huh? ... I’ll explain in the episode) that I wrestle with daily growing this podcast. And in total honesty, some days I walk out a champion. Other days, I lay flat on the mat defeated. SUBSCRIBE + LISTEN iTunes Stitcher WAIT. EXPLAIN SHOULD VS. MUST. In this episode, I define Should and Must based on what Elle shares in her book. Here are the excerpts from the book that I read in the episode...   SHOULD "Should is how other people want us to live our lives. It's all of the expectations that others layer upon us. Sometimes, Shoulds are small, seemingly innocuous, and easily accommodated. "You should listen to that song," for example. At other times, Shoulds are highly influential systems of thought that pressure and, at their most destructive, coerce us to live our lives differently. When we choose Should, we're choosing to live our life for someone or something other than ourselves. The journey to Should can be smooth, the rewards can seem clear, and the options are often plentiful."   MUST "Must is different.  Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest, most authentic self. It's that which calls to us most deeply. It's our convictions, our passions, our deepest held urges and desires - unavoidable, undeniable, and inexplicable. Unlike Should, Must doesn't accept compromises. Must is when we stop conforming to other people's ideals and start connecting to our own - and this allows us to cultivate our full potential as individuals. To choose Must is to say yes to hard work and constant effort, to say yes to a journey without a road map or guarantees, and in so doing, to say yes to what Joseph Campbell called "the experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. Choosing Must is the greatest thing we can do with our lives." For more, grab Elle Luna's book here.

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: ”I think that you’re in your own way. Because I know that I am. And it’s so hard to say that out loud. Because it’s so much easier to believe that you’re doing your best and you’re giving it your all and that it’s just the universe’s fault for not bringing the customers in and making everything happen.” with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? It’s about to get real honest. Because that’s how we roll. And really, you can’t grow (as a human being or a business owner) without being honest with yourself. So, in this episode, Lauren is sharing about how she’s been getting in her own way and why she thinks we’re all getting in our own way without even realizing it. If you’re sick and tired of feeling sick and tired with yourself and the lack of progress you’re making and you’re ready for some no-bullshit truth, grab your headphones.

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: "Sometimes businesses take time to grow. We write these stories in our heads that it should just be this overnight success and it should happen overnight. As soon as we launch, we should be able to do this thing full-time. And all the money should be rolling in constantly. And it’s because we see these photoshopped versions of businesses." with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? The “going all in” or taking-your-biz-full-time leap is so celebrated. We get so much encouragement and praise for taking that leap that it can feel like you’re taking a step back if you go back to work for someone else again. But this isn’t the exception. It’s quite honestly the norm for so many of us in the throws of trying to build and grow a financially viable business. So, in today’s episode, I’m peeling back those can-I-just-hide-behind-here? curtains and sharing with you why I’m going back to work for someone else again. And no, I’m not doing it because I’m giving up on this entrepreneurial journey … actually, it’s quite the opposite. I’m going to work for someone else again because I’m still 1000% in this entrepreneurial boat and I have zero plans of getting out of it.  SUBSCRIBE + LISTEN iTunes Stitcher LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero Episode 129: Some Days I Want to Quit with Lauren Frontiera  

Episode Sneak Peek: ”I want someone else to be scared. I want someone else to carry that burden of fear and doubt and overwhelm. Because it’s so damn heavy.” with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE: Some days you just want to quit. Amiright? It’s hard. Building and growing a business from idea to wild success is really effing hard. And some days, I just want to quit. I want someone else to take over the responsibility and the doubts and the fears. I want someone else to carry all of it. And I just want to push papers. Work 9-5. Then, leave. Go home. And not spend all night worrying about the growth or success of that biz. And in this episode, I’m sharing all of this and more. (P.S. If you do feel this way, you’re not alone. Wanting to quit as an entrepreneur is totally normal. It also doesn’t mean that you should.)

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: ”If we are ever going to grow successful businesses and be awesome bosses to other employees, it begins with us.” with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! What's In This Episode: In this episode, Lauren shares about being a bad boss to yourself as an entrepreneur. Because let’s be real, we talk a lot about being a great boss in the corporate world when you’re managing other people, but the talk of being a good boss to yourself is pretty nonexistent in the world of entrepreneurship. So, Lauren gets real (emotional) and shares about how she’s been a terrible boss to herself. And she opens up a conversation we need to be talking about more - the importance of respecting, supporting, and caring for ourselves like we would any other employee.

Episode Sneak Peek: ”As women, and as human beings, and especially as business owners, we have to stop hiding the truth ... and shaming ourselves for the truth. Because growing and building a business is hard as a business owner, and it’s even more difficult as a human being.” with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE: In this episode, Lauren shares the things she’s been too afraid to say out loud. And why, as business owners, we often hide behind the truth because we’re terrified that revealing the real parts of what we really think, or what we really feel, or what’s really going on will lead to rejection. It’s not an easy pill to swallow. The rejection pill. But hiding behind the truth doesn’t protect us from rejection - it keeps us from true connection. So, let’s get down to the real stuff.

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK: "I was the worst boss ever because I had zero grace for myself, zero love, zero empathy. I just didn't care." with Lauren Frontiera LISTEN! WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE? I'm talking about self-imposed deadlines. And the problem with them. Or, well, it's not necessarily that there's a problem with self-imposed deadlines, but it's more about learning how to be flexible with them. Because setting deadlines for ourselves is hella freaking important when you're your own boss. Ain't nobody else going to tell you to make sure that project is submitted on time. Buuuut, as your own boss, there has to be this level of flexibility - and you have to be willing to change those deadlines when they're no longer serving you. I've thought about this a lot. And it came up for me again recently with all of these really big changes happening with work and life. So, it felt like the right time to sit down and talk about it...

And with those changes, I'm getting ready to invest more in myself and this business than ever before. This isn't a case of mo' money, mo' problems. It's more like mo' money, mo' doubt.

In today’s episode, we’re chatting with Lauren Frontiera of the Grit and Glitter Podcast, all about her creative process behind starting a podcast, finding inspiration for and planning episodes, and the struggles she faces consuming on social media and how they influence her in both good and bad ways. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they’re not creative enough or that they’re doing what everybody else is doing.

  Episode Sneak Peek: "I was a really smart, intelligent person and successful in school, and I had just always assumed that my career would reflect that."   Listen! listen & subscribe in iTunes   What's In This Episode: I had 4 different jobs within 9 months of graduating college and 7 jobs within 2 years of graduating. After spending all of my educational career as a straight-A student, I felt like a complete failure when it came to figuring out my career path. In today's episode, I thought it was about time that I sit down and share the real down-low with you about my career - all the jobs and dirty details. I share about working multiple jobs at once to make ends meet, how I got started with freelance work and working from home, and I answer one of the most-asked questions I get - how do I actually make money (or do I?).   support this episode through Patreon   "It's so important to remind ourselves that we don't have to go the typical career route. And it's OK to not know what we want to do and who we want to be. And it's OK to try lots of different things, in a span of several months or several years as you're figuring that out."   join the conversation in the Facebook group   Links From This Episode: Lauren on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook

  Episode Sneak Peek: "I felt like when I hit that number that I would believe in myself. I felt like hitting that number would mean that I was justified in this work that I'm doing."   Listen! listen & subscribe in iTunes   What's In This Episode: I'd been looking forward to hitting 25k downloads of the podcast for several months. It was this number that I decided in my head would change everything ... or at least some things. I started to believe that hitting that number would somehow justify my work and prove my worth. It didn't hit me until the night I hit 25k, though. In this episode, I sit down the day after hitting that milestone, get a little emotional, and honestly share how I didn't find my worth in that number like I'd been expecting to. In fact, I didn't feel any different at all.   support this episode through Patreon   "25k downloads is simultaneously the most amazing thing ever and something to be celebrated and simultaneously it changes nothing.

Guilt, eh? It's shitty. It's tough. And as an emotion, sometimes it's there as a safe hold. But sometimes, it can become an unnecessary blockade to our greatest happiness in our lives and businesses. In this episode, I'm talking about the fine line between unnecessary guilt and holding yourself accountable. I'm sharing about why this episode aired late and the unnecessary guilt I felt because of it. I also share a sneak peek into how I plan topics for the podcast. Grab your tea, and come get cozy!

Social media is hard. It's become this constant in our lives that's less exciting and fun and more heavy and loaded with comparison. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't struggling with Instagram. Between the constant comparison and the addiction to constantly being plugged in, I've developed a really unhealthy relationship with it. In today's episode, I'm sharing about the comparison vortex, how I've found myself getting lost in social media, my unhealthy relationship with Instagram, and what I'm doing right now to help.

The journey to finding and owning your most authentic self is a hard one. What's even more difficult, though, is owning that authenticity even as you, and your life, are changing. In this episode, I'm sharing some things that have been changing in my life over the past year that I haven't talked about much on the podcast. Owning your authentic self as that authentic self is constantly changing is really hard. If you're there right now, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing with you about the disconnect I've felt in my life over the past year, how much life has been changing, and how I'm learning to embrace it authentically.

Or maybe the title should be Self-Deprecation in Business. 'Cause that's the real problem that needs addressing. In today's episode, I'm sharing about why self-deprecation feels more normal than self-love and how a lack of self-love is showing up in our businesses and online platforms. We need to have this conversation. We need to normalize self-love. And we need to be the ones willing to lead the charge. Ya with me?

Our hardest moments often define our most beautiful truths. In today's episode, in celebration of the podcast's 1 year birthday, the tables are turning and I'm sharing my story. Naturally, I'm taking you way back to middle school and walking you through some of the hardest parts of my story and sharing how they define so much of who I am today.

Moment of honesty: I had an emotional breakdown last week. I'm talking ugly tears and near-panic-attack, people. The heavy controversy that's surrounded the recent election of Donald Trump and him taking office has created a lot of disconnect in my own life. I've struggled with knowing how and when to speak up and what to say when I do. I've struggled with bridging the divide with people in my life who don't agree with me or have the same values/beliefs as I do. I've struggled to know where to begin and what to do. And I know that I'm not the only one. So, in this episode, I'm sharing with you my struggles, my low point, and how I've decided to move forward to try to bridge this huge divide in my own life.

It was one hell of a year for me. I found freedom in understanding after years of resentment, opened my heart to loving bigger than I've ever loved before, dared to dream big and own my greatest fears, and grew more as a human being, trying to do life on this crazy thing called earth, than any year before. Today, I'm sharing my 5 biggest lessons from my 26th year.

Then this episode, is for you, you lovely human being.
