Rise to Thrive Episode 33: How to Break Up Nicely    Let's be real: breaking up sucks. Whether it's a relationship, friendship, or business partnership, it's never easy to navigate the waters of two rivers flowing different directions.

Over the years, thousands of students had asked for a practical technique by which to remove the inner blocks to happiness, love, joy, success, health, and, ultimately, Enlightenment. This book provides a mechanism for letting go of those blocks. The mechanism of surrender that Dr. Hawkins describes can be done in the midst of everyday life." Find Letting Go on Amazon Dig it?

Rise to Thrive Episode 31: Healing Complex Trauma Irene is no stranger to pain and trauma. As a teenage girl, her mother became very ill, and she had to navigate the agony of losing her mom to cancer at the tender age of 14. As she grew older, addiction, self-harm, anxiety and depression experience led her to the question of “what does unprocessed grief look like?” Irene eventually found yoga as a tool to meet energy where it’s at and replace some of her more unhealthy coping mechanisms. In this episode, we talk about what trauma really is, how the nervous system behaves, why generational trauma is absolutely affecting you, the interplay of power dynamics and politics with trauma, and how yogic tools can help us move towards physical, emotional, and spiritual liberation.  In this episode you'll hear:   Redefining trauma and understanding it’s symptoms Why you have social anxiety (and you’re not alone) Differentiating between coping mechanisms and actual healing Ways to calm your vagus nerve and nervous systems  Tuning into interoception: How are you in your body? Trauma & self-protection vs. numbing out  Why slowing down and finding pleasure can heal you Unlearning the “harder better faster stronger” social constructs Creating a toolbox for healing: breath, orgasm, journaling sprints + more Connect with Irene for a free trauma healing consult: https://www.irenemorning.com/ RTT Book Club Selection: Pleasure Activism "Pleasure Activism" is a book about the politics of healing and happiness that explodes the dour myth that changing the world is just another form of work. Drawing on the black feminist tradition, she challenges us to rethink the ground rules of activism. Her mindset-altering essays are interwoven with conversations and insights from other feminist thinkers and cover a wide array of subjects—from sex work to climate change, from race and gender to sex and drugs—building new narratives about how politics can feel good and how what feels good always has a complex politics of its own.

Rise to Thrive Episode 29: Say It Real with Naia Kete This episode is a must listen for all artists and creative female entrepreneurs. Naia Kete, gifted lead singer, song writer & producer, champion & advocate for equality, and women’s empowerment coach, shares her story of her rise in music. Raised by a conscious mother who helped to raise her to take responsibility for her joy, Naia’s focus on empowering women and social justice motivated her to move California and create a movement to help people through music. Over the years, Naia lost herself in the hustle of Hollywood, dealt with the challenges of gaining weight as a performing artist, experienced the rise and fall of quick fame as a contestant on The Voice, and finally realized that alignment would never come from the LA lifestyle and “making it” as a celebrity: it had to come from within her. Today, Naia owns her voice and message and empowers women to cultivate creativity through wellness, embodiment and navigate seasons of life with ease and grace. In this episode, you’ll hear: How to align with truth Why movement is essential for divine connection Vaginas and empowerment, what every chick needs to know Ways to access creative flow How to hack your nervous system How to overcome challenges of being an entrepreneurial artist  Download SayReal’s New Song: All My Sisters Follow Naia on Instagram RTT Book Club Selection 1: Red Tent Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that tell of her father, Jacob, and his twelve sons. Told in Dinah's voice, Anita Diamant imagines the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood--the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of the mothers--Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah--the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through childhood, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate connection with the past.

Along with "The Science of Getting Rich", by Wallace D. Wattles, the Master Key System is the source of Rhonda Byrne's inspiration for the book and the film "The Secret". Find Master Key on Amazon

Rise to Thrive Episode 24: Why Hard Is Good For You with Britta Rael "As a teacher I have the unique opportunity to witness amazing moments within the spectrum of human experience… The physical practices (asana, acrobatics, fitness) are simply placeholders for deeper practices like Trust, Kindness, and Self-Awareness. More & more I am convinced that my role is less about teaching skills and rather holding space for YOU to discover, to discern, to unravel the skills and qualities you already own." - Britta Rael In this episode, we sit down with yoga teacher, movement coach, musician and writer Britta Rael Kfir and talk about what it take to be successful in today's entrepreneurial landscape as a yoga and movement professional.  We talk about how meditation is like tongue scraping for your mind, or letting your inner snow globe settle, what makes a good yoga teacher great, why Britta and her husband traded in life in the big city for a plot of land in the desert and life on their own terms, and have a lot of laughs along the way.

Rise to Thrive Episode 23: High Vibes "The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world." —Carl Sagan Weed, man. Some people love it, some people love to hate it. Haters aside, we dive into the recreational and therapeutic uses of hemp and cannabis. What's the difference? How do the active compounds, CBD & THC, compare, and which one is more fun?  In all seriousness, cannabis has been used for thousands of years for medicinal, spiritual, and recreational purposes and we're pulling back the curtain of the stoner closet to admit that we think weed is pretty groovy, dude.  We chat about how marijuana can improve your sex life, spiritual connection, and creativity - as well as discuss the criminalization of pot and times when it may be better to steer clear of stoneyville.  Whether you love to inhale or have never tried Mary Jane, have a listen, maybe have a toke, and have some fun with us as we marinate in these high vibes. Next time, we're bringing weed gummies.  RTT Book Club Selection: High Times Cookbook "This first-ever cookbook from High Times magazine—the world's most trusted name when it comes to getting stoned—is the deliciously definitive guide to cannabis-infused cooking. Easy, accessible recipes and advice demystify the experience of cooking with grass and offer a cornucopia of irie appetizers and entrees, stoner sweets, cannabis cocktails, and high-holiday feasts for any occasion, from Time Warp Tamales and Sativa Shrimp Spring Rolls to Pico de Ganja Nachos and Pineapple Express Upside-Down Cake.

Rise to Thrive Episode 22: Trust Yourself When was the last time you struggled to trust yourself or your decision? What does it mean to trust yourself?  Sometimes it's hard to trust your "yes" because fear follows, and it can be hard to trust your "no" for fear of missing out on something.  Do you find yourself saying "I don't know, I'm not sure, I'm unclear..." when deep down, you actually DO know what you want?  In this episode, we talk about what is necessary for learning to trust yourself, what freedom comes of it, and a practical exercise for tapping into your intuition.  RTT Book Club Selection "Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal. For the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever. . . .

Rise to Thrive Episode 20: the Power of Decision Stop hoping to get where you want to go. Stop dreaming, desiring, wishing, and wanting...  none of these will get you to your destination.  We often hope there is a magic bullet to take us from point A to B, a secret to creating the life we imagine.  There is.  It's the power of decision. "Never underestimate the power of an aligned decision." Feel pressured to make a "big decision?" Well, forget about it. There is no such thing. Decisions are all the same size - it's just their impact on your identity and comfort zone that makes you feel like some of them are massive shifts.  Dive in and find out how to listen for yes and no in your body, how to tap into intuition, and how to leverage the power of decision to create the life you imagine.  RTT Book Club Selection: Blink by Malcolm Gladwell Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?

Rise to Thrive Episode 19: Permission to Explore Curiosity is part of our DNA. It's the innate aspect of our intelligence which drives inquiry and has led to illumination of mankind through philosophy, art, and science.  When we approach life through a lens of curiosity, magic happens - it opens us up to benefits and blessings which we may not have even been aware of before we gave ourselves permission to explore.  Permission to explore extends beyond mixing up what you're gonna eat for lunch that day - beyond shaking things up in the bedroom (though we're all for that, too) and encompasses your willingness to release expectation, embrace uncertainty, and try new things.  In this episode we'll share our own experience with and resistance to exploration, how to cultivate curiosity and follow it toward your passions, and find more exploration in all aspects of your life.  RTT Book Club Selection Tune In By Sonia Choquette "This invaluable book instructs seekers at all stages of their spiritual journeys how to directly tune in to their intuition. Sonia also provides additional practical exercises and rituals—including breathing techniques, visualizations, journaling questions, and a step-by-step guide to setting up and using a personal altar—to help us place our intuition at the helm of our spiritual quests and in the heart of our daily lives.Whether you’re just beginning to tap into your intuition or are already living in the flow, Tune In offers a wealth of inspiration that will enable you to engage more deeply with your inner Spirit, your authentic Self, and live a more rewarding, fearless, and compassionate life."

Rise to Thrive Episode 16 | Gotta Have Faith What is it that keeps us moving through life and getting out of bed each morning? What foundational beliefs motivate us to carry on despite all obstacles? Is it sheer survival instinct that keeps us going, or is it something more?  No matter what your spiritual or religious perspective, we all have a relationship to something bigger than ourselves - and it is our trust and belief in this bigger picture that carries us through the most challenging times.  It may be connection to nature, affinity for humanity, trust in a higher power, or the solace of nature that buoys your spirits - no matter what it is - even if it's as simple as your own breath - we all have faith in something.

"Shut the front door," you might say. But wait! For reals! This is the most potent part of manifestation, and most of us get super confused with it.  You don't have to know how.  You DO have to know WHAT you want.  You have to BELIEVE you could receive it.  In this episode, we dive deep into the process we use for manifesting.

Rise to Thrive Episode 13 | Watch Your Language Language makes meaning. What we think and how we speak shapes our experience and perception of life. Across cultures, traditions and philosophies, the subtle vibration of thought and the power of words (both written and spoken) are recognized as arguable the MOST powerful aspects of what unfolds for us.  Wayne Dyer explains it like this: "Throughout life you’ve been through a conditioning process that’s created a mind-set overflowing with I am nots. As a schoolchild with a less than satisfactory grade on your report card, you thought to yourself, I am not smart. You place anywhere other than number one and say, I am not talented. You feel criticized and believe that I am not good. You look in the mirror and compare yourself to a glamorous movie idol or homecoming queen and tell yourself, I am not attractive. Your relationship fractures and you think, I am unloved or I am unworthy. These, and many more like them, are repeated throughout your developmental years and into adulthood, and become your core defining self-concept... Make the shift in your imagination from an I am not or I am hoping to become to I am. You want what follows I am to be congruent with your highest self, which is God. Beginning with your inner dialogue, simply change the words that define your concept of yourself. Redefine your self-concept by choosing the words that you opt to place into your imagination. Try this rewording of your inner world as a beginning step to accessing the assistance of your higher self and fulfilling your desires." Whoa. Mind. Blown. For us (hey! Linda & Amelia here!), harnessing the power of language has created dramatic positive shifts in our lives. By fearlessly declaring (even before evidence) the experience we desire, we effectively call it into being.  We dare you to write an honest letter to yourself of the most common "I am not" statements that you have on repeat - then rewrite it with "I am" statements. Slap those bad boys on some post-it notes and stick them EVERYWHERE! Repeat affirmations daily and watch your life change.  STAY CONNECTED Rise to Thrive IG: instagram.com/risetothrivepodcast Amelia’s IG: instagram.com/stoked_yogi Linda’s IG: instagram.com/lilalife.co  

Rise to Thrive Episode 12: Nourishment ~ You Are Alive What comes to mind when you think of nourishment? What does it mean to you to care for your body? For many of us, what first comes to mind is a sense of conviction over what we actually put in our bodies. Nourishment is often correlated with food - but there are so many other ways of nourishing ourselves.  What we eat, drink, speak, listen to, watch, and who we surround ourselves with are all ways that we can choose to nourish our bodies. We're nourished not just on the physical level, but also mental, emotional, and spiritual planes.  If you've ever struggled with body image, diet, or nutrition - this episode is for you. Our search for nourishment - every craving, desire, and impulse - is actually rooted in feeling. We try to medicate or heal emotional problems on the physical level, but underneath surface level hungers are deeper hungers and voids we are trying to fill. Rise to Thrive Book Club Selection Farmacology by Daphne Miller on Amazon "In Farmacology, practicing family physician and renowned nutrition explorer Daphne Miller brings us beyond the simple concept of "food as medicine" and introduces us to the critical idea that it's the farm where that food is grown that offers us the real medicine.Bridging the traditional divide between agriculture and medicine, Miller shares lessons learned from inspiring farmers and biomedical researchers and artfully weaves their insights and discoveries, along with stories from her patients, into the narrative. The result is a compelling new vision for sustainable healing and a treasure trove of farm-to-body lessons that have immense value in our daily lives." Dig it? Subscribe, review, and share!

Rise to Thrive Episode 7: Hi Amelia! This shit gets personal. Want to feel better about your own life? Have a listen to this episode to remember that we are all broken - and we are all whole. In episode 7, Amelia opens up about the life challenges that led to her current path and purpose as a coach and conscious entrepreneur. She also shares some sage life advice for how to get through the rocky times and rise up on the other side of them. At 14, her parents divorce rocked the house and sent Amelia reeling into an adolescence of toxic relationships, alcohol and drug abuse.  At 21, bailing on a long time abusive relationship sent her across the country and into a downward spiral of substance abuse and shopping addiction. Without resources, she turned to a sugar baby lifestyle to pay the bills. At 23, a spiritual awakening and her fathers impending death shifted everything. Going from a life of champagne and cocaine to one of sand, surf, salt, and business success was (and is) a wild and bumpy road.  Have a listen and get to know Amelia a little better.

Rise to Thrive Episode 5: Conscious Communication Ever find yourself having the SAME discussions, conversations, and arguments over and over with your partner, loved ones, or colleagues?  Banging your head against the wall in frustration at what you hoped would be a productive talk, but ended up devolving into a frustrating encounter in which it felt like you just weren't heard? Going down the rabbit hole of shame, blame, guilt, and finger pointing when all you wanted to do was solve a simple problem? Answer yes to any of the above? If so, it's official:  You're a human. Communication is challenging. Learning how to speak so others listen and learning how to listen so that others speak is part art, part science, and it often feels, part luck.  In this episode, we explore what it means to become a conscious communicator: how to fight fair, express desires and boundaries, learn and communicate via love languages, and gain awareness through shadow communication.  We also open up about our own relationships (love, family, work, friendships) and what we've found is helpful for building healthy, positive communication... most of the time.  Expect a lot of laughs, a little TMI, and a whole bunch of insights around your own communication style, as well as clear, actionable tips and techniques for creating healthier communication in all your relationships.  Dig it?

We talk about the magic of solitude, reflection, and taking inventory of what works and what doesn't work in your life, so you can create specific, actionable steps towards the life you desire. We talk about clearing rituals, making goal setting fun and easy, and a visualization and journaling process to get super clear about what you want 2019 to feel like.
