I've been engaging in conversations around liberation in business for the REAL Uplevel Interview Series, and it's been illuminating the consistent incongruences in the coaching, wellness, and healing industries.  There are very real consequences when people with any kind of authority in these spaces view vast and global topics through their own micro-experiences. In this episode, I break down what some of those outcomes are, including upholding systems of supremacy and oppression and engaging in manipulative sales tactics. Join me as I break down my creation process for this series and share what topics we'll be exploring with my guest speakers.    In episode 416 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:33) Updates about the REAL Uplevel Interview Series: who you'll hear from and what we discuss  (7:29) How I plan to create the container and the agreements for this series   (9:13) Concepts and quotes that really stood out for me from Alok Vaid-Menon's episode on The Man Enough Podcast  (14:08) A big area that I'm learning more about right now (19:19) Alok's deeper perspective on self-love (23:45) Overlapping themes I've noticed in my interviews for the series  (26:32) My experience of the ‘integrity effect' as a coach  (30:57) What inspired me to finally create this series (35:15) Practicing humility  (38:54) One of the most expansive parts of the series so far    Resources mentioned in the episode: Episode 336.

Where does healing really come from, and how can we recognize it as a more holistic vision than the easily recognized signals of health or disease given by our bodies? Sia Alexander is a healer, an entrepreneur, a curator, and (you might say) a pollinator of spiritual consciousness. Her answer to this question takes the shape of Pure Lagos: an Afropolitan experience in Norfolk, VA. Weaving together her extensive training in herbology, nutrition, yoga and spiritual healing, she curates the art gallery, boutique, apothecary, and social hospitality space that is Pure Lagos. She argues that Lagos, Nigeria and Norfolk, Virginia are not so distant: these are key points of healing that connect a cultural history that has been separated, with the potential for deep healing.  Follow Pure Lagos, find Sia's books, and work with Sia on spiritual and nutritional consulting at: @Pure_lagos on Instagram sialove.org Also follow: @wildhoney.collective on instagram And wildhoneycollective.org  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wild-honey-collective/message

We need to stop believing that doing the right thing is expensive or will cut into your profits. Doing the right thing on a global scale will always make you more wealthy. I think that's true in any part of your life and I'd say relationship is the one area that we make the most mistakes in because we don't value relationships for what they're really capable of doing. We have very surfacy relationships and we're not trained into sacred, holy relationship at any level - friendship, marriage - we take these very surfacy versions of them. So, when we start to think about sacred commerce, I think it's time for us to maybe put in the words, 'sacred value,' again. Let's put sacred value back into everything. - Zach Bush MD Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Check-in with yourself; what do you think is possible for your mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial wellness?

ION* | Intelligence of Nature Click here to order ION* today At ION*, we are all about connection: cell to cell, person to planet. And while our mission is evergreen, our pursuit to reawaken connection is ever evolving. The ION* path was first laid in 2012 when an obscure soil science article showed Dr. Zach Bush, Founder and CEO, a family of carbon molecules capable of partnering with the human body. Already primed with a passion for finding root-cause solutions to human health problems, Dr. Zach and team set off to better define how we support the microbiome - our foundation of wellness. The answer didn't lie in the probiotics industry, but through our bodies' innate drive to heal and thrive. The domino effect of good health, they found, was a function of supporting, not supplementing.

The Truth Will Set You Free Honoring Our Ancestors: Solocast | Vision Quest Part 1 Touching Death: Solocast | Vision Quest Part 2 How Josh applied Zach's teachings about sacred commerce to his Vision Quest experience this year. 323 Charles Eisenstein How we can reintegrate back into natural systems and why this is so important for our economy. The difference between native tribe cultures and our western one when it comes to food supply and storage. How Hawaii has changed so much from relying on nature for food to now importing 95% of it in large cargo ships. The devolution of our food system and how we rely so much on plastic, processed foods, and essentially a system of modern slavery for farmers. What conscious capitalism is and how it helps our economy. Where we went wrong with capitalism and why it had a lot to do with seeing technology as the solution. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand   [17:30] Natural Law & Coming to Terms with Our Values Why our founding documents including the Declaration of Independence were very colonist and separated God from nature yet we haven't done anything to update them to modern times to put nature first. Why the results we see in the collapse of consumerism, capitalism corruption, and abuses of different cultures can be traced back to colonial times. Unpacking what Natural Law is and how it can be applied to our modern society. Why it was the Iroquis who really helped write the salient points of the Declaration of Independence. The bizarre reality that the money that moves in and out of our country is blood money. 405 Tim Corcoran How we can manage the dichotomy between people that are suffering financially but need help with their health vs how we can make a profit as a health company or organization and actually serve more people. Zach's various companies and how they are organized to create profit and pump it back down to finding and healing the root cause of various issues like with Farmer's Footprint. Farmer's Footprint M*Clinic The Journey of Intrinsic Health Project Biome Bio Capital Partners The immense amount of waste that our economy is creating (especially sugar cane) and how Zach's companies are working to offset that and make conscious change happen. Why doing the right thing for the world is not expensive or will cut into your company's profits; doing the right thing on a global scale will always make you more wealthy.   [33:00] Making Commerce Sacred Again What it looks like and feels like to be part of sacred commerce. Why it's important not to have "ownership" over anything but have your hands wide open and all the Universe to play through us with sacred commerce. How the Universe heard and helped Zach during a difficult time has he transitioned out of academia to a higher calling with his life. The intense environment Zach worked in academics researching cancer as his small office was surrounded by refrigerators holding tumor specimens and essentially death. Why spiritual enlightenment doesn't take a process, it takes a heart, surrendering, and being open to what the Universe can give you. Zach's take on consciousness and why there's no thing as rising human consciousness because consciousness is an access point to all knowledge in the universe.   [39:30] Surrendering and Answering the Universe's Call 429 Danielle LaPorte Why hope, joy and real love are often misportrayed as a feeling but it's really a state of being. The fact that the feeling of love only lasts about 7 seconds before it fizzles out and then we have to rekindle that feeling because it takes up so much neurological effort to create it. How we can step away from our emotional brain and step into a state of existence to access vibrational states of hope, joy, and love. The power of silence, micro naps, and sanskrit soundtracks to help Zach access the vibration of stillness and open his heart to be willing to answer the Universe's call. Zach's various life transitions in the last 10 years and how he's had to let go of a lot of things to help him grow. The minimalistic life Zach now leads living in a log cabin that he built with his son and why it's more than enough for him. What Zach had to give up during CV19 over the last year to stay true to himself and stop judging himself. Why the fabric of everything is not love, the fabric of everything is beauty and when you see beauty you will experience love. The beauty and love that is within all of us and why fear and death feel ludicrous when you tap into both. 196 Aubrey Marcus How we heal when we recognize the beauty within each other. A powerful exercise you can do right here with Zach and Josh to connect with the beauty within you and others.   [1:07:30] What Happens When We Isolate, "Cancel," and Stop Hearing Each Other How we can work with and transcend from censorship and "you're wrong, I'm right." Remember that if someone is attacking you, then those who are doing the attacking are projecting the hate or lack of love they have for themselves onto you. Zach's reminisce of the night he got the scar on his right cheekbone and why he feels great compassion for the person responsible for it. The tingle Zach feels in his right cheekbone still today whenever he starts to feel sorry for himself or abused by the system to remind him there is no victimhood here, it's humanity struggling to align with a nature that loves it. What happens between us when we simply decide to "cancel" someone and stop communicating with them - it's cancer of society. Why the antidote for every emotional injury lies within the wound yet we keep running away from the wounds we need to heal individually and globally.   [1:22:00] The Extradorinay Journey of Human History & Our Enlightenment Exploring the concept of time and dimensions plus why we've already won at the end of time as we continue to experience human enlightenment shifts like we are now. Why Zach believes we are currently in the biggest human evolutionary shift we've ever experienced right now. Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot The questions we've asked and how we've grown with our questions since we realized that there is so much out there in the universe than just our planet. Exploring how incredible the human body is and the fact that we are basically walking ecosystems of intelligence and sensory processing systems for all life on the planet. How we can let go of shame around feeling "I am not good enough," "I am not doing enough." Zach's deep US history roots going all the way back to Daniel Boone, his distant relations with the Bush politicians, and connections to other politicians such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Why it hurt the US when our Founding Fathers left the Founding Mothers' voices out of the Declaration of Independence.   [1:33:30] Building Community on a Grander Scale How we can stop getting in constant work loops and bring community back into our lives. Why Zach constantly seeks out community every single day. How conversation helps Zach let go of stress of the day and open his heart. Zach's own financial difficulties trying to run a clinic in rural Virginia and how it took a toll on both him and his family. The moment Zach surrendered this mission with the clinic and why it was a necessity for him. 364 Alison Armstrong How community can help you step up to your highest potential. Why your vision, dreams, and goals cannot work unless you have a community behind you. What wellness means to him now, 1 year after his last interview on Wellness Force. Eckhart Tolle   Power Quotes From The Show The Devolution of Our Food System "When we start to think about value systems, we need to ask ourselves: Are we in a state of scarcity or abundance? What do we really value? Are we valuing life behind something that we're consuming? Is that the food we're eating? Are we going to start to eat more conscientiously? Or are we going to keep eating things that are wrapped in layers of cellophane, plastic, and metal or are we going to start to have reverence for fruits, vegetables, and the animals that we kill? Are we going to start to have reverence again for the humans that work in our food system?" - Zach Bush MD   Spiritual Awakening Takes a Willing Heart "A spiritual awakening doesn't take a process, it takes a willing heart. If you just become willing for a second, the universe will show up for you so quickly, you won't be able to believe it. It doesn't take effort; it takes surrender. It's the opposite of effort - just let go of all of your beliefs of what it's going to take to become conscious. We are players in this beautiful, symphonic dance of life in the universe and humanity has this opportunity to surrender into that right now."  - Zach Bush MD   Where Does Hope Come From? "When we step away from the amygdala and from the emotional brain to start stepping into a state of existence, that's where we can find the vibrational states of joy, peace, and hope. They're not something that needs to be manufactured or conjured up - you're simply tuning into a frequency and it happens to be hope." - Zach Bush MD   Links From Today's Show  Wellness Force Programs Zach Bush MD ION* Intelligence of Nature 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & CV19> 362 Zach Bush MD: Saving The Soil, Saving Humanity What Is Wellness?

How can we wear the hats required to do business in the world without betraying our authenticity? What does it mean to do business with an open heart? Where's the balance between a simple life and manifesting abundance? How can we bring our Spiritual Work into our business life?

Is the work you're doing now going to have a generational impact? Whether we realize it or not, our lives have been shaped by the generations that came before us. And as a woman of multiple heritages, I am intimately aware of the ways I will impact those who come after me.  In today's episode, I'm meeting with Asha Ramakrishna, Spiritual Mentor and author of The Priestess Code. Asha lives her life by a simple credo: feel good, be wealthy, give back. In connecting with her heritage–both in this life and her past lives–she's realized the full scope of her own impact and devoted her life to empowering others. Through her work in Human Design, and Spiritual Mentorship, she guides her clients to do the same. Asha helps entrepreneurs and service-hearted people connect with their true selves while also building generational wealth for their descendants.  Join us in today's episode as we discuss Asha's experience as a multi-ethnic woman, how she learned to flow with the seasons of her life, and why she practices “sacred commerce” in her business and personal life.   Listen to episode 369 now! In episode 369 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: [4:24] What ‘regenerative' work is and how it became the focus of Asha's work [9:12] How technology can be detrimental to our spirits, especially during the pandemic [12:52] Asha's personal motto and how it's carried her through these uncertain times [13:53] Accepting yourself as a seasonal being and learning to flow through the seasons [17:55] Giving back to the world as part of your own spiritual journey [23:29] Recognizing your privilege and learning to live your truth without guilt [30:35] How to appreciate your heritage and past lives while being sensitive to cultural appropriation [37:12] Coming back to your ancestral home as someone of multiple backgrounds [45:30] Connecting with your patroness and recognizing her confirmations [50:52] Practicing sacred commerce in your business and your personal life For full show notes and resources, head tohttps://untameyourself.com/podcasts/369 About the EMBODIED Podcast with Elizabeth DiAlto  Since 2013 I've been developing a body of work that helps women embody self love, healing and wholeness. We do this by focusing on the four levels of consciousness - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. In practical terms this looks like exploring tools and practices to help you  tune into the deep wisdom of the body and the knowing of the heart, which I believe are gateways to our souls. Then we cultivate a new relationship with our minds that allows the mind to serve this wisdom and knowing and soul connection, rather than override it, which is what many of us were taught. If you've been doing self help or spiritual development work for a while, these are the types of foundational things that often people overlook in pursuit of fancier concepts that often aren't practical or sustainable. Here, we will focus on building these strong foundations so you can honestly and thoroughly embody self love.

When entrepreneur and “love activist” Ryland Engelhart was feeling hopeless about the damage human beings were doing to the planet, there was a solution so obvious that it was practically hidden beneath his own two feet: the soil. Upon discovering that healthy food heals the soil that produces the food, as well as our bodies, and that healthy soil can help balance out gases in the atmosphere, Engelhart responded, “Wow! There’s nothing else to give my life to but that. The most important story right now on Planet Earth is that there is a solution.” As a result, in 2013, he co-founded Kiss the Ground, a nonprofit organization that focuses on awakening more “soil advocates,” educating consumers to make healthier choices and training farmers in regenerative practices to help sequester carbon from the atmosphere and reverse global warming. Engelhart was born into a family of love activists—practitioners of “sacred commerce,” the philosophy of right action, right intention, and right speech in business. In 2004, his father and stepmother, Matthew and Terces Engelhart, opened an organic vegan restaurant in San Francisco called Cafe Gratitude. Their experiment: What will happen if we use the workspace to cultivate the most important human values — such as love, gratitude, connection and trust? The menus listed whimsical names, like “I Am Generous” for an order of guacamole, or “I Am Dazzling” for a Caesar salad. Wildly successful, the restaurant became a chain that spread to Southern California, the Los Angeles branch which was run by Engelhart himself. Today, the family business also includes a vegan Mexican food restaurant, Gracias Madre. Gratitude is something we all have, Engelhart’s parents taught him, but we often lose awareness of it. “The idea was people will come in for the food,” Engelhart says, “and we’ll give them a little uppercut of transformation and a little love and little warmth and a little shift in their attention and see if maybe that ripple effect will make a difference. It is all about shifting our attention from the glass half empty to the glass half full.” Engelhart’s foundation in service and gratitude led him to explore his own path. Through Kiss the Ground—a name that references the great Sufi poet Rumi (There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground)—Engelhart is both a catalyst of boundless possibility and practical inspiration, traveling the world to sow the seeds of sacred commerce, gratitude, and the regeneration of our planet. He also produced the award-willing film by the same name, Kiss the Ground, available for streaming, and hosts the podcast “We Can Do This," a weekly conversation about how we can participate in the healing of our Earth and ourselves, as we are one and the same. There are hundreds of free online video resources he offers. To continue his learning, he lives and works with his family on a 17-acre regenerative farm called Be Love Farm in Fillmore, California.  Engelhart’s definition of success? “Success is how much love we can give in this lifetime.” Please join Rahul Brown in conversation with this heart-centered entrepreneur and community activist.

“I’ve got my eye on the future. The future that keeps me going forward is one that is built in a more loving way. A more compassionate world is the one that I keep in my mind’s eye as my guidepost and my true north.” – Sarah Love Politics and spirituality have a long-standing dysfunctional relationship. In this conversation with artist and writer Sarah Love and Lindsay Pera, founder of the Modern Mystic Institute, we begin to dig for the roots of this dysfunction.  We already know the damage: On the right, spirituality has been manipulated and melded with politics and patriotism to oppress people and rigidly control the narrative about values in our country. The consequences are disempowering. On one hand, we’ve got the “love and light” spiritual practitioners who resist analysis and truth-telling about political and social realities. On the other hand, we have political activists who have rejected spirituality because it’s been used to bypass the harsh realities of white supremacy, cis-hetero patriarchy, and capitalism. It’s time to rewrite the narrative and to push back on constructs that narrowly define what it means to love and what it means to be a peacemaker. What if we refuse to be divided by the pundits and politicians who insist that protest, patriotism and action have to look just so? That our protestations must be polite and palatable? What if we get super clear amidst the gaslighting about what loving our country looks like? If we are going to change the trajectory of our country, we’ve got to move forward as whole people, not as people who are compartmentalized, divided and constricted. It’s time to unapologetically reclaim, redefine and sharpen our tools. We can unapologetically infuse love and spirituality with politics and politics with spirituality. The Way Station, with Lindsay, Sarah and I as your guides, will take you deeper into this re-tooling and revision of our narrative.  The Way Station is a place for those working to dismantle systems of oppression can gather, refuel, get tools and get grounded in strategy. Participants will be bringing our political expertise as well as our embodied wisdom and intuitive tools. We will explore the ways in which we can stay active, involved, creative and aligned in this moment of flux and crisis. Expect rigor and magic, love and analysis. No matter the outcome on November 3rd, our work is not over.  We are in it for the long haul of liberation.Please join us. Sarah, Lindsay and I talked about: The ways in which we’ve been socialized to avoid discussing politics and systems of oppression; Why politically progressive people shy away from spirituality; How spirituality and politics, when used together, have historically been weaponized to oppress people; The importance of questioning, pushing back, redefining and expanding our understanding of engaging politically with the tools of faith, peacemaking and love; Our “pivot points”: those moments in our lives where we saw more clearly our role as activists and how we could wield spirituality as a powerful force for change; Our upcoming retreat, Way Station, on October 30th, which is an opportunity to come together to refuel, get tools, and ground strategies for the work ahead; Linday’s and Sarah’s divination on the energies of 2021. About Sarah and Lindsay: Sarah Love McCoy is an artist, writer and teacher working on expanding and awakening the power of love in herself and human hearts the world over.

Today the wise & ethereal Julie Piatt -- my wife and partner for the last 20+ years -- returns for her umpteenth appearance on the podcast.But this time we try something different.As longtime listeners know well, Julie is a being of many talents. Although widely lauded for her series of bestselling plant-based cookbooks, the one who goes by SriMati is also an artist, musician, yogi, healer, mother of four and serial entrepreneur.In addition, Julie hosts the For The Life of Me podcast. She reigns over Water Tiger, her online spiritual community. And she’s the ‘Mother Arc’ (her term for founder & CEO) of SriMu, her plant-based cheese brainchild start-up.Over the years, Julie been a recurring source of spiritual wisdom on the podcast, dropping many a pearl on everything from parenting and creativity to navigating conflict, managing relationships, dealing with financial hardship, and countless other subjects.Today's episode, however, is something new -- an exploration of Julie as entrepreneur.Channeling my inner Guy Raz, I give Julie the ‘How I Built This’ treatment — tracing her background growing up in Alaska through her career in fashion. Building a garment line. The pain of shuttering it. The pivot into home construction and interior design. And how all of these experiences inform the business and culture of SriMu, her most successful start-up to date.You can call me biased. I am. But that doesn’t change the fact that she is poised for world domination with what truly is the best, next evolution of cheese.The visually inclined can watch our exchange on YouTube. And as always, the podcast streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Aside from the business bent, this conversation is centered on the power of meeting others — and yourself — in love.As humans, we self-identify with the stories we tell ourselves. We cling to illusions of safety and security. But this moment is challenging the firmness of the ground upon which we stand. Julie reminds us of the impermanence of everything.Embracing this vital truth will bring you greater peace. It will broaden your empathy for others. And help you identify the answers you seek.Hint: they have been inside you all along.Peace + Plants,Listen, Watch & SubscribeApple Podcasts | YouTube | Spotify | Stitcher | Google PodcastsThanks to this week’s sponsorsAthletic Greens: 75 whole food sourced ingredients designed to optimize 5 key areas of health, Athletic Greens is the delicious daily habit that sets you up for a healthy future.

“Covid-19 is like a rehab intervention that breaks the addictive hold of normality.”Charles EisensteinIf there is a silver lining to this unique moment the world is currently enduring, it is the opportunity to snap the denial that obscures a certain indelible truth -- that humans exist separate from each other -- and the biosphere that supports all life.Like an addict's moment of clarity, we are awakening to our intrinsic interconnectedness with others -- and the world at large. With this humbling epiphany, it is now incumbent upon us all to rethink, reimagine, and recreate the story we tell ourselves about who we are -- and who we aspire to be.This is an initiation. An opportunity to reset. A call to reclaim our inherent divinity as spiritual beings having a human experience in intimate relationship with every living thing. An opportunity to expand our awareness beyond self-interest and elevate the collective consciousness -- so that we can chart a more compassionate, sustainable and community-empowered normal going forward.One of the deepest integrative thinkers active today, today's guest is a voice both crucial and integral to this conversation.Meet Charles Eisenstein.A speaker, writer, and social philosopher focusing on themes of human cultural evolution, economics and consciousness, Charles is the author of several books, including Climate - A New Story, Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, and The Ascent of Humanity.A graduate of Yale University, where he acquired degrees in both mathematics and philosophy, Charles is a counter-culture intellectual and proponent of alternative political and economic narratives that combine ecology, biology, philosophy & spirituality to challenge our current system. You can find his essays, videos, courses and podcasts at charleseisenstein.org. Recognizing the delicacy of this moment, I’ve been very careful about who I invite on the show to discuss it.The pandemic has cast a cosmic panic I am not interested in amplifying. Nor do I feel it appropriate to deliver an empty dose of conjectural optimism.I don’t hold myself out as knowing what exactly is happening. I don’t think any of us do.I can’t give you a prediction or a prescription.What I can offer is perception. Some perspective. And a broader aperture to reckon with the many ramifications of this most unusual global event.Last week I devoured a recent essay by Charles entitled The Coronation. I found it to be one of the most insightful and well-considered long reads on how to think expansively about our current moment. It’s a piece that has stayed with me -- and the motivation behind today's exchange.In the vein of my exchanges with Dr. Zach Bush, this is a thoughtful and at times metaphysical conversation about completely redefining our definition of normal.It's about the potential energy of this shared experience to unite humanity around reinventing society wholesale. It’s about asking questions. It’s about challenging the dominant narrative. Taking a hard look at our institutional failures. And the systems that perpetuate them. But more than anything, this a conversation about standing in our fear. As we delicately wade through the muddy waters of media calamity, conspiracy theories, and fake news, it's about learning how to listen. How to feel. And how to excite the senses around the quiet call that change is actualizing. Without minimizing the severity of what is and what is to come, this truly is our opportunity to cast a new world.May Charles Eisenstein be our gentle steward.Audio Note: This podcast was recorded remotely.

Introduction to Episode My guest today is Vanessa Couto, an astrologer with a mission to help people align their gifts, their purpose with their livelihood through their business. We discuss astrology, philosophy, art, and business - all with the lens of elevating where we are now. Podcast Episode Summary Vanessa shares a lot of thinking and philosophy weaving astrology, philosophy, art, and history into one. She asks us all to bring sacred and spiritual back into our businesses and our exchanges. And, she discusses how we can use astrology to do just that. Quotables “We wouldn’t force people to do work out of necessity because they have to do the job. [People] would notice kids’ natural talents … and give all the resources ... so [people] can do the thing they enjoy.” “In astrology we have something that says, ‘When you were born, you were the answer to a question at the time.’ Your configuration has a clue as to what you’re here to do.” “How can we heal capitalism from its virus that’s attacked the system and taken over like a mutant?” The temple for the Oracle of Delphi read both, “Know Thyself,” and, “Nothing in Excess.” “I would like to bring spirit back into business.” “I would like to bring beauty back into commerce.” Recommended Resources Episode with Maree Bento https://michellelasley.com/2019/12/interview-with-maree-bento/ Episode with Laura Rowe https://michellelasley.com/2020/01/laura-rowe-an-interview/ Episode with Jeffrey Hahler https://michellelasley.com/2020/03/interview-with-jeff-hahler/ Sacred Commerce by Ayman Sawaf https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/sacred-commerce-the-rise-of-the-global-citizen_rowan-gabrielle_ayman-sawaf/1895285/#isbn=0980175550&idiq=1714390 The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-soul-of-money-transforming-your-relationship-with-money-and-life_teresa-barker_lynne-twist/252582/#isbn=039332950X See Vanessa’s latest at www.vanessacouto.com.

“Love is not something found in a person, place or thing. It’s something that is ever present in our hearts and always available as a gift and it costs nothing to share it.”Ryland EngelhartLast week we explored the world of regenerative farming, soil health and biodiversity as critical levers to improve human health. Consolidate food security. Drawdown carbon. And backpedal climate change.Today we expound on that theme with entrepreneur, restauranteur and social activist Ryland Engelhart.Ryland is the ‘Mission Fulfillment Officer' and co-owner of Café Gratitude and Gracias Madre, a family owned group of legendary plant-based restaurants. The epicenter of California vegan cuisine & culture, it's a platform he uses to not only feed people amazing food but to cultivate community — and most importantly, inspire more gratitude into our lives and culture.In addition, Ryland is a speaker and passionate advocate for sacred commerce, community building and regenerative farming principles, which he supports as co-founder of Kiss The Ground, a non-profit that provides education regarding the connection between soil, human, and planetary health. Among its board of advisors are former podcast guests Paul Hawken, Dr. Zach Bush and David Bronner.If you enjoyed those conversations, or last week's exchange with John & Molly Chester, then you're in for a treat with Ryland.This is a conversation about the importance of soil regeneration and its impact on everything from food security and climate change reversal to improving human health.We open with Ryland’s hippie upbringing. How he learned early the philosophy of using business as a force for good — something he calls sacred commerce.We discuss how doing good — adding value to people’s lives — is not only always the right thing to do, but also the best long-term path to profits.We explore the origins, trajectory and intentionality behind his family's incredible group of restaurants — Cafe Gratitude, Gracias Madre and his sister’s Sage Plant-Based Bistros — which together form the cornerstone of plant-based dining in Los Angeles and beyond.Then we dive into the principles of conscious capitalism, the importance of regenerative farming, and the reasons why soil health is such a crucial component in the holistic equation of sustainable human, animal and planetary health.Finally we discuss his various film projects, including his documentaries May I Be Frank* and Kiss The Ground — a must see you might have heard Woody Harrelson recently raving about on Marc Maron’s podcast.But more than anything, this is a conversation about love, awareness, and the power of gratitude as a living, breathing philosophy of life.You can watch it all go down on YouTube....

Today we’re sitting down with Nikki Bostwick, founder and editor in chief of The Fullest, creator of your new plant-based elixir desirable the Fullest’s Saffron Latte, host of the Morning Matcha podcast, and founder of Laguna Beach Living. Muma and wife to boot. Granted there isn’t enough time in one podcast episode to cover the aforementioned list, BUT we did have an hour together. An hour in which Nikki shares, through her own pain and mishaps, the life and love that she lives and gives. Wellness is a shared meal, even when that plate doesn’t look like the greenest thing within a 5 mile radius; it’s the person sitting across from you. The intentions surrounding your everyday breath, the spaces you allow, and the boundaries you draw. We touched on Sacred Commerce, bridging business and empathy, the energetics behind breastfeeding, and that wellness is all-encompassing; not just that with which you stock your pantry with. Political, societal, environmental. It’s all connected….though we do love a good green juice to top it off, or in this case, The Fullest’s latest Saffron latte!? This is Fullest Self with Nikki Bostwick.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I’m releasing episodes each week in the month of May that I will think will help us pause from the busyness and prioritize and invest in ourselves. I found a powerful guide for this purpose in Elena Lipson, someone I met through another mentor and coach of mine, Lindsay Pera, who beautifully dedicated this episode. As a retreat leader, speaker, writer, coach and podcaster, Elena inspires women to redefine the hustle in exchange for creating a life they love with what she calls the Feminine Metrics of success: Pleasure, Play, Ease, Grace and Trusting Your Own Pace. In this conversation, we explore Elena’s journey from a life that began in Russia to one based today in the fresh air of the Pacific Northwest with her husband of over 19 years and their teenage son Miles.  The best adjective I could think of to describe this conversation is “juicy” filled with so much goodness, insights, and examples for how to connect to our bodies, speak our desires, and lean into presence and inquiry instead of assumption... with ourselves, our children and our partners.  In fact, toward the end of the conversation, we begin to explore how we can keep the “pilot light” burning in our romantic relationships, so if you’re listening with children around, you may want to put in some earbuds.  I left this conversation recommitted to building presence in my life, with greater awareness of the importance of body, heart, gut, and brain alignment, and excited to explore Elena’s challenge to us to get in touch with what we really want and then to ask for it. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and that it sparks a shift in you, as it did me, to claim our self-care and speak our desires.  Much appreciation, P.S. As you'll hear in the episode, Elena agreed to share more on the topic of "Movement and Pleasure" through a presentation in the Mother's Quest Facebook Group.

This Week’s Challenge:  Elena invites us to find the “hidden secret” right in front of us, by getting present with what we really want and asking for it. I added a commitment to making a list of what those things are.  Learn More About Elena: As a retreat leader, speaker, writer, coach and podcaster, Elena loves to work with busy women and inspire them to redefine the hustle in exchange for creating a life they love with the Feminine Metrics of success: Pleasure, Play, Ease, Grace and Trusting Your Own Pace.

“Sacred Commerce is a business built by heart” is the theme of this Women at Work conversation with Cary Mosier of Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre. Held at the Rose Tarlow Melrose House showroom in West Hollywood where Mosier shared the heart behind the business along with the triumphs and failures along the way. Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre are founded on the unique business principle that we all are connected and that the only real win is the win-win. The business practices of the Mosier family are good for the planet, their employees, their investors and customers all in one. Their concept was to create a work environment that doubled as a school of transformation for their staff as well as their customers. Founded on an experiment to find out: “What will happen if we use the workspace to cultivate the most important human values — such as love, gratitude, connection and trust?” a restaurant revolution was born.

“We are all called to be the sacred CEO of our lives."With parents in love with their careers at Hewlett-Packard, Lindsay Pera grew up immersed in the culture of a company that truly cared about their ethics, employees, and values. Even so, she resisted working in the corporate world due to her love for people and not wanting to work in an office. Her interest in cognitive science led her there anyhow, with a career in management consulting, innovative mobile technology solutions, and knowledge management. A decade later a health crisis forced Lindsay to retire from her corporate career. As she embraced her intuition, she healed herself and her family, and embarked on a new path as an entrepreneur. Her work and life now bridges the worlds of technology, strategy, and intuition. She helps clients improve livelihood, productivity, and revenue as they learn to embrace practices that bring unity to heart and mind.Lindsay shares how to gracefully navigate real challenges at work and home, build innovative and thriving organizations, and live an abundant life of meaning. Connecting with our authentic heart allows us to do anything. When we live from this place, we will inspire and lead others to do the same, and witness beautiful shifts in the world around us.~~~~~~~Lindsay Pera began her career as an analyst in Accenture’s technology strategy practice and then transitioned to a $2 billion insurance company to help drive pivotal IT transformation. In 2004 she left Silicon Valley and moved with her family to a beautiful multi-generational homestead on the Central Coast of California. Lindsay wants to live in a world where appreciation flows freely, kids play outdoors and lemons are in season year round. As a Mystic mama, tech entrepreneur and intuitive strategist she's a sought after contributor and motivator on all topics health, wealth and transformation. When she is not extolling the virtues of “Sacred Commerce” or “Resonance” based business, you can find her knocking almonds and generally getting her gratitude on.Follow Lead With Love Online: LeadWithLoveGlobal.comFollow Lead With Love on Twitter: @LeadLoveGlobalFollow Lead With Love on Facebook: facebook.com/LeadWithLoveGlobal

I'm excited to present our featured Black Woman CEO Expert and my mentor & coach, Dr. Monikah Ogando. Ranked in the Inc 500 list of fastest growing private companies, Dr.Monikah Ogando has created a dynamic business coaching and leadership development firm.

She holds two doctorate degrees, in Comparative Religions and Organizational Psychology, from the University of Sedona. While Monikah is best known for her expertise in marketing, business building, and leadership, her clients and students share that her biggest impact comes from her philosophy of "build your business to support your extraordinary life" – ensuring your business revolves around your own personal values, lifestyles, and legacy. This, Monikah says, is the most important key to bringing business owners their ultimate wealth and happiness. Here's Dr. Monikah's Black Woman CEO Success Tip: "There is a time for thinking, strategizing and deliberation... and there's a time for action and rigorous execution. Don't let yourself get stuck in thinking when planning is over and you should be moving and hustling. That's called analysis paralysis. And don't get caught in busy work or doing "something" when you should be thinking and strategizing. That's called activity, not movement, and it reeks of desperation. If you ever doubt where the thinking or the action is coming from, ask yourself, 'Who is speaking?' Is your behavior or thought process coming from the inner critic, the lack mentality? Or is it coming from unlocking your Inner CEO and trusting your power and truth?" Let's Dive in! Don't forget to download your Free Book Unlock Your Inner CEO: http://www.unlockyourinnerceo.com
