After snapshot of the transformaional healing through the death of my beloved purebred Andalusian performance horse, "Angel." It's profoundly more than what meets the eye..... Part 1 was recorded just 3 days after Angel passed on July 3, 2024.  Now, 13 months later, I share all of the empowering wisdom in hopes of empowering you through loss....True sustainable healing is an UNconscious, subconscious and conscious phenomenon!!!!! My chosen Godmother, Marilyn joins me as we discuss the mental, emotional and spiritual wisdom to be gained when bravely facing our deepest emotional torment in times of the death of not only a DREAM, but of a loved one. When we experience a heartbreaking loss the last thing our brain wants is to look for the #Enlightenment or #Empowerment or #BlessingsInDisguise ~ Why? Becaues our brain has an emergency override system that causes logic to temporarily trump emotional heartache. The brain is designed to prioritize the ability to function over emotional processing. If we don't process our emotions they become repressed, meaning unconscious to us, feeding into a cycle of being driven by the need to unknowingly mask pain instead of dealing and healing it.   This is why elevating and evolving consciousness matters! It's a conscious choice to take the time to feel and process our emotions which brings healing and empowerment. Ultimately, feelings of peace and meaningfulness to enrich our Sense-of-Self, our heart, soul and spirit.... If we don't allow ourselves to dig deeper into the inner workings of the human mind for the sake of self-understanding, acceptance and love, we end up reinforcing the mental patterns that instill pain.  The scariest part is that it's NOT obvious. The solution and remedy is to look for what you can't see....for the miracles are actually happening in real time!!!!! Listen to this podcast as I share my journey and why digging deep creates a whole new inner-world..........Fulfilling happiness and gratitude stem from within.   #KarenLoveLeeEmpowersYOU #EmpoweringYouThroughUs  

Just 3 days after the death of my horse, which triggered losing my sister and father....I share with my dear friend, Marilyn what I was going through to help empower those who can relate to any type of "Death." #RealRawRelatable In this series, here is the Before snapshot of my own personal experience of mental and emotioanl transformation. This is all about evolving consciousness and how to deal directly with heartbreak and grief. I'm unable to hold back my tears after unexpectedly losing my purebred Andalusian performance horse, Hermoso CVIII, aka "Angel." He and I were in training together, as I practice to compete on new higher levels.   BUT, this is more than just losing my horse, it's about the grieving process and death of a long time DREAM! Digging deeper into the depths of the human mind and spirit, there's way more here than meets the eye....  On the surface this horse was directly connected to the death of my father because of my own spiritual beliefs. Just days after my father died, this horse showed up out of nowhere and was meant to be mine. But then Angel dies, retriggering the pain of losing my father, which UNconsiously caused my feelings to shut down, closing off my heart. Simply because I didn't want to feel the crushing sorrow anymore.  Yet, I had NO idea this was happening because my life is full of dreams come true, and I've been living life on my terms. Though, there was a part of my heart closing off that I didn't see....  It's never ever about the physical world and what we think we see. It goes far deeper into the FEELINGS connected to our heart and soul. Death in all forms is a wake up call to get an opportunity to gain greater insights and wisdom to expand our heart's capacity to LOVE more deeply, NOT less. However, the human brain will trick us to inadvertently close off and harden our heart and distract us from enduring the depths of the heartache. Why? Because our brain is designed to override emotional processing to prioritize survival mode. Meaning, attending to practical needs rather than emotional needs. Over time, if left to our own devices, if we don't consciously choose to go back and process these chaotic feelings and sensations, it worsens the underlying, unresolved turmoil.  Ultimately, causing serious REPRESSION---unknowingly pushing feelings out of awareness, which is detrimental on all levels.  The concept of "Death" comes in all shapes, sizes and forms. This was the death of losing another dream horse, and I've had many. But this time, I was subconsciously triggered back into the grief of no longer having my father, and then losing my sister years ago. So, the trauma runs deep, far and wide. There's obvious death - of a person or pet. And there's the death of a romance, job, marriage, career, losing a position of authority, a demotion, losing a favorite car or object of desire, etc. Simply losing someone or something that you feel a deep connection to. Loss is symbolic of "Death." This experience has so many layers for me, and with every death associated with the next death, a piece of my heart dies. As time progresses, my heart kept dying just a little bit more. Yet, this was NOT obvious to me because so many aspects of my life have been getting better and better with more wishes coming to fruition! Yet, this was extremely difficult to detect. Because by default, the human brain focuses on the physical world, not the inner emotional world! I've created an awesome outer world, but still missing what truly matters....profound feelings of fulfilling bliss.  The catalyst was just this. Within weeks following the loss of Angel, I was offered yet another Dream Horse on my wish list. But, I wasn't excited or happy about it. The more goodness I kept creating and magnetizing, the less joy and exuberance I felt.   Once I realized this, it forced me to wake up and examine what was really going on!!!! Bottom line, all the devastating deaths in my life where UNCONSIOUSLY rearing their ugly heads, overshadowing and cancelling out my hearts capacity to feel abundant love, joy and graitude.  Join me as I explain the inner workings of the mind and heart to empower YOU!!!!! #KarenLoveLeeEmpowersYOU #EmpoweringYouThroughUs

SummaryIn this episode, Matt Hallock discusses the detrimental effects of 'niceness' in marriage, contrasting it with the concept of 'kingdom masculinity.' He argues that niceness often stems from co-dependence and a lack of self-identity, leading to unhealthy dynamics in relationships. Instead, he advocates for a more assertive and confident approach to masculinity that fosters genuine kindness and respect. Matt provides actionable steps for men to transform their behavior and communication in their marriages, emphasizing the importance of self-worth and healthy boundaries.TakeawaysJesus wasn't nice; he was dangerous, challenging norms.Niceness can lead to co-dependence in relationships.Kindness is rooted in strength, while niceness stems from weakness.Healthy masculinity involves setting boundaries and standards.Christian marriage advice often promotes niceness over honesty.Men should not shy away from confrontation in marriage.The spirit of niceness can diminish attraction and passion.Action steps include repenting and initiating change.Men should advocate for their desires in relationships.Transformation requires inside-out change, not just behavior modification.Pick up your copy of The DNA of a Man here: https://thrive.manwarriorking.com/dna-2025Join The Masculine Husband 3-month Marriage Intensive here: https://thrive.manwarriorking.com/masculinehusbandSubscribe to Matt and Man Warrior King on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@manwarriorking/

The Decision for Atonement is to accept ourselves as God created us to be. We put our foot down and make this decision for heaven. We have certainty of our Identity. Atonement is the end of confusion. We are certain of our innocence and our joyful nature. We are fully alive in our Awareness of our Self-Identity. We give up all the self-deceptions of the ego. We let forgiveness rest upon all things and hold nothing outside the all pervasive nature of Atonement. We accept Atonement, and we do not avoid it. We no longer want to become something that we are not. We see simply we already are as God created us to be. This is already in us. And we are aware of this. We accept the Atonement for ourselves.

”This VBAC has changed who I am as a woman.” Proactive preparation matters in birth!!While we don't want to obsess about it in an unhealthy way, prep work can make a huge difference in your birth experience. Chelsea is an amazing example of how that prep pays off. After a very long, exhausting 40+hr labor and Cesarean birth, Chelsea knew she needed a different experience the next time around. Chelsea took charge of what she could during her second pregnancy. She did deep internal work, vigorously prepped her mind and body, educated herself, and invested in an empowering birth team. Her intuition led Chelsea to birth at home, and it was a completely different experience from her first in so many powerful ways!Chelsea's Podcast: Growing Up Raising UsNeeded Website: Code VBAC20 for 20% OffCoterie Diapers - Use code VBAC20 for 20% OffHow to VBAC: The Ultimate Prep Course for ParentsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vbac-link/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this episode of 'The Summer of Me', Kendra discusses the societal pressures and guilt women often feel about wanting more in life beyond motherhood. She emphasizes that wanting more—whether it be in terms of career, personal growth, or self-identity—is not only acceptable but necessary for a fulfilling life. Kendra shares her personal experiences and insights on balancing motherhood with ambition, the importance of setting boundaries, and the generational guilt that often holds women back. Ultimately, she encourages listeners to embrace their desires for more and to model this expansion for future generations.   takeaways Wanting more is not a dirty word. Women often feel guilty for wanting more in life. Balancing motherhood and personal ambitions is possible. Self-identity should not be solely defined by motherhood. Generational guilt affects women's ambitions. Settling for less leads to resentment. Guilt keeps women small and exhausted. Wanting more does not mean being ungrateful. Role modeling expansion is crucial for children. Embrace your desire for more, even if it's inconvenient.

In this episode, Ash and Dusty explore the complexities of managing hyperfixations and hobbies as individuals with ADHD. They discuss the common experience of having interests that are “an inch deep but a mile long,” the guilt and shame surrounding inconsistent engagement or financial investment in hobbies, and the struggle to align identity with fluctuating passions. Both hosts share personal stories that highlight different patterns of engagement—from impulsively diving into new interests to learning to take smaller, manageable steps and focusing on mastery over novelty. They emphasize the importance of redefining what it means to be “into” something, allowing space for both deep commitments and casual, purpose-free enjoyment. The conversation also delves into strategies for sustaining interests, including community involvement, mentorship, and deliberately choosing to deepen existing hobbies rather than constantly starting new ones. They highlight the value of “constructive” activities that replenish energy without demanding productivity or long-term outcomes. Ultimately, Ash and Dusty encourage listeners to reject self-judgment, embrace curiosity about their current phase, and find balance between exploring new threads of interest and committing to core passions. This episode offers compassionate insights for anyone with ADHD seeking to understand and nurture their unique relationship with hobbies and identity.

Long before becoming an award-winning educator, public speaker, and podcaster (of BFF: Black, Fat, Femme), Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins (aka Doctor Jon Paul) was just a kid sneaking movies while mom was at work. One of those films, 1993's This Boy's Life, became one of their favorites. That was in large part thanks to the aspirational friendship of main character Tobias "Jack" Wolff (Leonardo DiCaprio) and the closeted but undeniable Arthur Gayle. Doctor Jon Paul and Jordan discuss the film, the new book Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices in Media and Learning to Love Yourself, and transformational power of intersectional friendship and storytelling.Speaking of intersectional storytelling, Jordan has one quick thing about the new Ryan Coogler heater, SINNERS.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Dr Jon Paul Higgins Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen?

Take your Mark, Get Set, It's Time for The Addict II Athlete Podcast! In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson engages with Shelly Lefkoe to explore the profound impact of beliefs on addiction and recovery. They discuss how beliefs are formed in childhood, the role of self-identification in addiction, and the importance of changing negative beliefs to foster healing and personal growth. The conversation emphasizes the need for valid interpretations of childhood experiences and how these interpretations can reshape one's self-worth and identity. In this conversation, Shelly Lefkoe and Blu Robinson explore the nature of beliefs, their origins, and how they shape our perceptions and experiences. They discuss the difference between consequences and meaning, emphasizing that events themselves do not carry inherent meaning. The dialogue delves into identifying and transforming limiting beliefs, particularly self-worth and love. Real-life stories illustrate the profound impact of beliefs on life choices and the potential for transformation through self-discovery and empowerment. Takeaways Beliefs formed in childhood significantly impact adult behavior. Understanding the origins of beliefs is crucial for healing. Negative beliefs can be challenged through valid interpretations. Self-worth is often tied to childhood experiences. The process of belief elimination can lead to freedom from addiction. Empowerment comes from recognizing one's power. Support and guidance are essential in changing beliefs. Beliefs are often formed in childhood and can persist into adulthood. Events do not have inherent meaning; meaning is created in our minds. Therapy can help cope with life, but eliminating beliefs can lead to more profound change. Real-life stories demonstrate the power of belief transformation. Everyone has the potential to create a different reality for themselves.

Episode 3357: Mark Manson explores the paradox many face when engaging with Zen philosophy and meditation: the struggle between detachment from desires and living responsibly. He offers a nuanced explanation of how to approach attachment and the present moment, emphasizing that it's not about removing ambition, but recognizing that clinging to outcomes or self-identity through achievements leads to suffering. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/the-zen-dilemma Quotes to ponder: “It's not about doing or not doing. It's all about how much of your sense of Self, your identity is attached to the outcome of what you do or don't do.” “Being present isn't ignoring the past or the future. That's impossible actually, because the act of thinking about a past or a future is actually taking place in the present.” “Have your career goals, thoughts and ideas, your hopes and dreams, but don't attach the Self to it in such a way that you'll suffer if you don't achieve them.” Episode references: The Power of Now: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Now-Guide-Spiritual-Enlightenment/dp/1577314808 Learn more about your ad choices.
