Opportunities, luck, and leaving room in your business life for what you actually enjoy – just a few of the things we need to talk about in this episode. Why is that important for business? “I skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.” Wayne Gretzky Luck is not a cloud of magic that you walk into. Luck is opportunities realizing they are standing in the same room together. If you want to do something different than what you are doing, you have to let other people know that you are interested in a thing. Otherwise, that's how ruts get created – you only dig into the stuff you have already been doing. The value of how much you enjoy something is wildly overlooked. “You are here to do what you can't not do.” Lissa Boles. Think of it like putting your taxicab light on.

Lissa will also share what the charts show about the current upheaval in the world, and what the road ahead might look like.
Today we’re having a conversation with Lissa Boles of The Soul Map about purpose. One of our real calls with this show is to marry the spiritual path with our tangible human lives. In reality, they are exactly one and the same of course but they do often get divided. That said, one of the things that we hear from you all about frequently is the issue of living one’s purpose. Lissa’s work is really the marriage of the spiritual path with how we live out our purpose particularly in the area of our career, or how you follow your being to your right work, so we thought she would be a fantastic guest to have on! In our conversation we touch on conscious culture making, how actively intending to change culture is an extraordinary thing- and really uniquely front and center at this particular time in human history. We get at how to recognize that we are part of a creative process and how to see our lives signs and signals as cues to our own unique process and right work. We also touch on the trouble with “I don’t know” which, if you’ve heard me say it before, tends to be one of my favorite mantras, but Lissa exposes its shadow side here.
Lissa Boles created The Soul Map™ in partnership with Randy, her beloved husband, soul mate and best friend. Their relationship - filled with an incredible amount of love, playfulness and compassion - illuminated what's possible in romantic life and business partnership. In 2014, they discovered Randy had a rapidly metastasizing form of terminal cancer and after only a few short months, he was gone. This interview explores the unfolding experience of grief, loss and the nature of desire. What do we live for when we have what we always wanted and it is taken away? The truth is all of us must face our own deaths and the deaths of those we hold the most dear. However, in our society, this subject is taboo. We just don't know how to approach death, how to talk about it or how to best support each other when we are grieving. Yet, remarkably, in approaching grief and fully living the grieving process, we may find an otherwise unfathomable richness and depth to life and to our work. In this, we may discover pain is not what we think it is, uncovering the gifts of the darkest night of the soul. Despite immeasurable loss, Lissa's guiding light burns brightly in turbulent times, pointing us inward towards our reserves of strength, courage, and capacity to TRUST while rising solidly to the challenges we face personally and collectively. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Our deepest trials call us into the truth of what our life is about Finding desire after great loss Desire is mixed with shadow Loss can lead us to knowing everything happens for a reason Grief requires presence and is like active meditation Going through difficulty prepares us to lead in difficult times Partnering with grief can free you in unimaginable ways The time of entrusting the truth to others is passing If we turn away from a difficult period or emotion, we can't be sovereign, lead, create or know our purpose fully The gifts of the dark night of the soul including discernment and a stronger voice Pain is not what we think it is MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Power vs Force The Translucent Revolution Life in Full Color ABOUT LISSA BOLES Hailing from Ontario, Canada, Lissa Boles is CEO of The Soul Map™, a boutique entrepreneurial coaching & consulting firm providing an unparalleled astrological approach to niching, platform creation, business building and success achievement – one based on the untouchable uniqueness of the owner’s life purpose and the trailblazing thought leadership that’s theirs & theirs alone.

Do you feel topsy turvy in your life and business? Does the ground feel like it keeps shifting under your feet, with that feeling of incertainty around every corner. In these times economic challenges face us every day, family illness and death seem prevalent, the world is in flux, spirituality is in a huge shift, AND what was working in our businesses doesn't seem to any more... It seems like this is the perfect time for this conversation.... Many of us are looking for a system, map or guru to take us to where we want to go, but even those methods that we've been told were a sure thing, no longer are. Have you noticed? How does this make you feel? Sometimes it feels like we're shooting in the dark hoping for some guidance, control or magic bullet. I'm sure you've noticed that clarity and certainty is not there like it was in the past. Confusion reigns much of the time. Times are different so we need to be different. Come and find out what these three thought leaders in the coaching and healing community who are all about our success in business and life, can share with wisdom and practical tips to help us handle and flow with uncertainty. Learn what we as business owners can do to plan for or rely on, and how we can 'be' in our lives to be able to handle the shifting tides of uncertainty. Uncertainty is here to stay, at least for the forseeable future. Let's prepare for it with Andrea J Lee, Lissa Boles and Jeneth Blackert. You'll only hear this special conversation here.
