When you think about procrastination does it bring up some feelings of shame, maybe self-judgment? These complex feelings are common, so find out what your procrastination really means and how can you stop weaponizing it against yourself. By sorting out where your procrastination is coming from then you can see what your needs truly are and begin to develop healthy and supportive habits. Shirin shares her own story of perfectionism as an Iranian immigrant who relied on constantly outperforming others and even herself, but teaches now that that behavior is not sustainable. Instead, learn to live at the “intersection of getting it done and allowing yourself to have free time,” which she calls good enough work. Tune in to be, as Shirin says, encouraged to return to your values, your beliefs and what lights you up with purpose.

She believes that we all have the power to heal, teach, and lead ourselves, and her mission is to empower women to reconnect with their inner wisdom.

This week, Lily welcomes Shirin Eskandani to the podcast! Shirin is a former opera singer turned coach who, in this episode, opens up about her quest for fulfillment beyond external achievements. From navigating the challenges of dating to discovering the unexpected depth of inner work in coaching, Shirin shares the transformative power that led her to pursue coaching with a commitment to inclusivity and decolonized perspectives. Shirin shares her mission to diversify the coaching world, highlighting the need for more inclusive certifications. Lily and Shirin also dive into the concept of being "wholehearted," exploring themes of empowerment and the profound impact of coaching on personal and professional aspects of life.   Listen in to hear this fantastic conversation that empowers self-discovery and self-trust. Hot-takes from this episode: Nothing outside of you will ever make me feel fulfilled or enough. That is something you have to be working on yourself. “It isn't just about my dating life. It isn't just about my work. How we do one thing is usually how we do all or most things.” Decolonizing is about questioning and getting curious about what you value and believe and whether those values and beliefs were handed to you from society or family. Then, decide that you get to choose what you value and believe and how you want to move forward.

We are so honoured to be bringing to you today an Inspirational Interview with Shirin Eskandani. Shirin has a passion for guiding emerging and established coaches in ways that ensure their coaching practice and business is one that is operating from a decolonising lens. This is something that is possible for all of us as coach trainees and coaches - and we should want it to be as well. It's not something to be afraid of and certainly not push aside. It's a part of running a business as a coach that can see your work take on more just, rich, inclusive meaning and practices - which I believe is something we should all be striving for. And there is no doubt that Shirin is the most amazing person to learn this from.    Website: https://www.wholehearted-coaching.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholeheartedcoaching/

Are you a recovering perfectionist? In this episode, Elena speaks with Shirin Eskandani, a former opera singer and coach who helps others see their self-worth and beat perfectionism. 2020 was the year of pivoting. Pivoting from working in the office to working at home. Pivoting from celebrating birthdays, graduations, and weddings to delaying them. Pivoting from relationships and careers to adapting to uncertainty. As 2023 begins with layoffs and a looming recession, it seems the pivoting will not stop. The thing is, life is infused with pivots. They aren't a recent phenomenon. They are just more evident. So, the question is, who would like to be when pivots happen in your life? You see, you can't always control your circumstances, but you can determine who you will be. So, who will you choose to be? In her Weekly Coaching Tip, Elena provides a game plan so you can begin to strategize who you will be when pivots happen in your life. In her interview segment, Elena speaks with coach, writer, podcast host, and public speaker, Shirin Eskandani. Shirin has been featured as a wellness expert on “The Today Show,” The New York Times, The Doctors and Shape magazine. Before becoming a fantastic coach, Shirin was a professional opera singer and performed at Carnegie Hall as well as the Metropolitan Opera. Now, Shirin uses her unique perspective to catalyze thoughtful discussions, help others live on their terms, and embrace a softer, intentional, yet adaptable life. In this conversation, Elena and Shirin talk about recovering from perfectionism and workaholism, choosing the beauty of slow, determined living, fostering curiosity in the day-to-day, and understanding your own self-worth.

Ainslie is a past-life psychic and award-winning author who works with elevated spirit guides to help spiritual seekers express their soul's highest potential. "I wasn't always a spiritual teacher. In fact, for most of my life, I was just a regular Muggle. Then I ran into my deceased uncle in a bookstore in Hawaii—an event that radically reshaped my understanding of the universe. Until that moment, I was an atheist and a total skeptic. I used to think life was just a series of random events, completely devoid of meaning. But, after that encounter, I had to find a new worldview. "Through my uncle, I was introduced to a whole new universe—and found that life is anything but meaningless. My reason for being here, I learned, is to be an emissary for elevated spirit guides and help others discover their life's purpose; a challenge, I'm pleased to say, I've embraced with passion. With the support of my spirit guides, I'll take you on a journey deep into the world of your soul to discover who you are, why you're here, and how to live each day aligned with your highest purpose." Ainslie's destiny—his life purpose—is to help you find your life purpose by uncovering the plan your soul created for this life. According to Ainslie, past lives explain everything. Which is why he explores past lives to help you make the most of this life.

When you think about procrastination does it bring up some feelings of shame, maybe self-judgment? These complex feelings are common, so find out what your procrastination really means and how can you stop weaponizing it against yourself. By sorting out where your procrastination is coming from then you can see what your needs truly are and begin to develop healthy and supportive habits.   Shirin shares her own story of perfectionism as an Iranian immigrant who relied on constantly outperforming others and even herself, but teaches now that that behavior is not sustainable. Instead, learn to live at the "intersection of getting it done and allowing yourself to have free time," which she calls good enough work.

I was not a girl scout. But I love merit badges. As in, few things thrill me more than earning recognition for learning or doing something. I've been chasing merit badges all my life—so much so that the pursuit of merit badges has often led me away from what I really want out of life... and toward what will earn me the next badge. I've taken numerous jobs I didn't want just to get the merit badge. I've agreed to plenty of collaborations I didn't really want just to get the merit badge. And, I've chased a bunch of goals that didn't really inspire me just to get the merit badge. Every merit badge I earn is just another attempt to prove to myself that I'm good enough, that I'm worthy. And each merit badge I earn only convinces me that the next merit badge will be the one that finally makes me happy. It's only been in the last couple of years that I made this realization. And I did so with the support of my husband, my team, and coaching. Now that I know about my merit badge pattern, I'm always on the lookout for it. I've rearranged my goal-setting, planning, and decision-making so that I have a better opportunity to notice when I'm stretching toward something I really want... or gunning for another merit badge. I know I'm not the only person who always has her eye on the next merit badge. There's a good chance that, as a listener of this show, you're also keen on collecting accomplishments and achievements. Maybe that's been helpful for you... and maybe it's gotten you off track. Maybe it's been a result of your own sense of self-worth... and maybe it's been an attempt to prove it. My guest today found herself in a similar situation to me—always trying to prove she was good enough by climbing the rungs of her chosen career ladder: opera singing. But when she earned the merit badge she had most wanted her whole life, she realized that she still wasn't happy. I'll let her tell that story—but, listener, I can relate. And that's why I so wanted to bring Shirin Eskandani onto the show. Shirin has done a lot of work on rewriting this pattern and she's found support for that work through coaching. Today, Shirin is not a full-time opera singer. She's a full-time coach herself. Shirin is a life coach, public speaker and writer who specializes in mindfulness and mindset work. She has been a featured wellness expert on the Today Show and Cosmopolitan Magazine. Shirin’s holistic approach to transformation is influenced by her background in meditation, spirituality and the arts. We talk about achieving her childhood dream and realizing she still wasn't happy, as well as how she started to choose the thoughts that would help her feel the way she wants to feel, made the leap to coaching, and found her why. We also talk about coaching as a support structure and how coaching can help you embrace who you really want to be.

In today’s conversation we talk about how her realizing her dream of becoming an opera singer showed her that hustling for your worth never works — and also led to her work as a successful coach. We also talk about: How things shifted when she started focusing on her internal work over her external achievements How she works with science-based work and spiritual tools in tandem to heal herself and her clients  How to identify and listen to your intuition (as opposed to the ego/fear voice) What it means to heal as an individual in service of the collective; as opposed to the (usually) solitary work of self-help — and why it means we have to look at things that aren’t just “love and light” . . . and so much more! I think the conversation we shared is so important to hear always, but especially right now when a lot of us are feeling a little lost, a little overwhelmed, in need of some healing, and perhaps more dedicated than ever to finding and following our purpose. — Follow Shirin: Wholehearted Coaching Website Instagram Wholehearted Coaching: The Podcast   CREDITS Editing & Sound Engineering: Jordan Johansen Music: “Kenton” by Dr Crosby (Licensed via Marmoset)

In college, a therapist recommended I read "The Secret" to help with visualizing and understanding the influence of thoughts. Have you read it? Heard of it?? It's a little woo-woo for some, but the concepts have stuck with me over the years. So, instead of using manifestation to focus on the materialistic things, in this interview we discuss how to use it to get the life you want. Shirin Eskandani, of wholehearted coaching, believes in and teaches manifestation...but almost without calling it that (she explains that!). In this interview she shares how several years ago she was in a really rough patch and took a giant leap of faith on self development for herself. Since then her ideas of manifestation are more focused on dreaming, self work, and overcoming obstacles. We break down the beliefs women often have about themselves, as well as manifesting in non-materialistic ways, and how you can get started with this. I also share how manifestation has worked in reverse - meaning how the negative beliefs I had about myself were in fact coming true. Tune in for a lesson on how to get the life you want, while living the life you're in.

Y'all, you know I wasn't trying to have too many coaching conversations on the podcast this year, but today's guest Shirin Eskandani is here because this woman has much more to bring to a conversation than basic coaching advice. Her big truth was that we have to look up to shift our perspectives and from there we got into a conversation about mindfulness, the relationship between joy, acceptance and guilt, navigating adult relationships and creative patience. She also shares some of her personal experiences immigrating from Iran to Vancouver at a young age, then coming to the US to pursue her dream of being an opera singer. Spoiler: not only did she realize that dream, she did it in a big way and the result is not what you might expect to hear. We also explored the impacts of whiteness in wellness spaces, code-switching, and the relationship between self-worth and service. It was a really dynamic chat and I can't wait to hear what lands for you! xo, E For more information and for full show notes, head to http://untameyourself.com/322   Truth Telling with Elizabeth DiAlto aims to cut through the noise and ignorance of our current culture by exploring the truths of a diverse range of incredible voices.

Chasing your dreams can be scary, but it can also be fun and enjoyable when you are aligned with who you are and what you want. After a successful career as an opera singer, Shirin Eskandani realized that she had spent her life chasing her dreams only to end up never satisfied and looking for more. She decided that this was no way to live life, and started Wholehearted Coaching to help other women embrace their dreams and become okay with failure. Finding Your Joy In The Mindful Hustle This episode goes beyond fitness and nutrition to help you realize the restrictions you have placed on your life and break free of those conditions. Shirin is exploring the importance of finding joy in the daily micro-moments, how to apply mindfulness and mindset work to find aspects of serenity and ways to accept your life as it is, instead of focusing on the ‘if only’ mentality. Joy is rooted in the unconditional acceptance of yourself and your life, and nobody deserves that more than you. Stop making yourself feel bad about the things you cannot control, and empower yourself to get back up when life pushes you down. Shirin provides tips and encouragement to get you on that mindful hustle, embrace your why, and learn to be okay with failure while having fun. Life is too short to run away from what could be your passion. By intentionally cultivating the way you want to feel you can improve your mood, change your mindset, and live how you feel truly free.

Cat chats with founder of Whole Hearted Coaching and co-founder of Brown Girl Brunch, Shirin Eskandani! Shirin is a classically trained opera singer who after many years of work landed her dream contract at the Metropolitan Opera. It was after landing her dream job that she realized it wasn’t everything she imagined, and there was more she wanted to give. Over time, she pivoted and became a life coach specifically to work with women who have big dreams and big hearts. She assists women by working through their fear and doubt so that they can live their lives with more purpose, passion and joy. Her work is rooted in finding what drives her clients and what makes them passionate about life. In our chat we talked about what the adjustment was like for Shirin's family after moving from Iran to Canada, the importance of diversity, her musical background, overcoming perfectionism, creating a healthy relationship with our to-do lists, embracing excellence, and lots more!Guest InfoWebsite: wholeheartedcoaching.comInstagram: @wholeheartedcoachingBrown Girl BrunchKeep Up With CatSubscribe to the show to ensure you don’t miss out on any episodes!Head to www.catlantigua.com to subscribe to her exclusive weekly emails!Follow her on Twitter: @catlantiguaFollow her on Instagram: @cat.lantiguaCheck out her Facebook page: Cat LantiguaKeep following Cat on all of the socials to stay updated on all of the great things coming up!
