Although marriage is a picture of the gospel, it is not equal to it. The bible highly esteems marriage, but we make a critical mistake when we over-simply that staying married “no matter what” is the biblical standard. I was honored to interview Jenn Jett Barrett to hear her story of redemption after divorce. As a Christian and leader she experienced a lot of shame when her marriage failed after 15 years. I originally heard her story (on this podcast) when my first marriage was in a dark place and I was so encouraged by her dependence on the gospel for her healing, that I began following her. I celebrated from afar when she remarried a man who loves God and her very well. Jenn and I discuss shame around having difficulty in your marriage, dating after healing from a failed or broken marriage, the beautiful and sometimes complicated layers of remarriage and our refined views of biblical submission. This was a rich and gracious discussion that I was thankful to be a part of that I trust will serve you whether you have a healthy marriage or not, because likely you will walk with someone at some point who needs this perspective and truth when facing divorce. Learn more about Jenn Jenn Jett is a dream defender and risk taker. She spends her life ripping off roofs so that people can be lowered down into the healing hands of Jesus. She longs to see people not just be free but stay free. She is the founder and visionary of The Well Summit, a community that creates experiences for women who sit in the tension of feeling too much and not enough. Camp Well is one of those experiences that is hosted in Colorado twice a year.

The Enneagram. It's something you've probably heard about but maybe you have questions about what it is, how to use it, or why your friends are always talking about it. I sat down with Jenn Jett Barrett, the co-founder of The Well Summit and an enneagram coach for teams and couples. In a brutally honest, healing conversation, Jenn walks us through the origins of this tool, the many ways it can be used for good, and the warnings on how it has been overused and misused. Jenn is a dreamer, a doer, and a champion of risk takers. As an Enneagram teacher, she loves getting to take individuals, couples, and teams on a journey of understanding Enneagram through a biblical perspective. *** Stay connected with Greg on social @gregholder_ and check out today's show notes!

Nitika Chopra is a television host, QVC beauty expert and the founder of Chronicon—a platform and conference dedicated to elevating the lives of those living with chronic illness. I met Nitika in October of 2018 at a Well Summit talk called "Real Self-Love: Raw and Un-Instagrammable," and was immediately drawn to her humble confidence and deep empathy towards others. Nitika was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of 10, psoriatic arthritis at the age of 19, and had at that time, gone through a 17 year period of physical and emotional trauma. In this episode, Nitika and I dive deep into why we all need to turn towards our inner compass to understand whether or not we are fully serving our purpose, and helping others around us with our God given gifts. Tune in to hear about how Nitika is able to create momentum in her life despite the presence of fear, and what you can do to find flow in life's twists and turns. We talk about the importance of maintaining a sense of play and exploration, and why you need to honor your body as your biggest teacher.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Shirin Eskandani. 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, and prior to building her successful coaching business, she was an award-winning opera singer, performing at Carnegie Hall and The Metropolitan Opera. Certified by the International Coach Federation, Shirin’s holistic approach to transformation is influenced by her background in meditation, spirituality and the arts. She is also an inspiring and dynamic speaker who has presented at ALT Summit, Ignite Womxn Summit, Well Summit, Heal Haus and the Assemblage. Shirin is co-founder of The Glow Up and Brown Girl Brunch. Shirin is brilliant, thoughtful, and wise. 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)

Prior to building her successful coaching business, she was an award-winning opera singer, performing at Carnegie Hall and The Metropolitan Opera. She is the co-founder of Brown Girl Brunch and has been a featured speaker at ALT Summit, Well Summit, the Assemblage, and Soho House. We go deep in this episode (as we do in most episodes). We unpack: ● The value of coaching is (why bother getting a coach?) ● The tension between making it more accessible for people & still requiring they get “big skin” in the coaching game ● What it means to live whole-heartedly ● Letting go of the “if only’s” ● The harm of white wellness bubbles & how to get better as white people ● What courage looks like to each of us in OUR lives ● The myths around the fulfillment of “goals” making us happy (and this is coming from a opera singer who performed in Carmen at the Met) People & Resources mentioned: The Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford Allison Tenney Ignited Womxn Summit Chrissy King’s Diversity & Inclusion 101 Eckhart Tolle Jess Lively Mark Fisher Fitness Brene Brown You can find Shirin at: @wholeheartedcoaching on Instagram & Facebook www.wholehearted-coaching.com You can find Beth at: @bethclaytoncoach on Instagram www.soulbodylife.com Grab your free e-book, “The Secrets in Your Sabotage” at www.soulbodylife.com/free-stuff Beth’s TedX RIGHT HERE.
I met the best-selling author and motivational speaker Agapi Stassinipoulos at the WELL Summit, where we both spoke. Her keynote blew me away and left me feeling vulnerable, empowered and connected. I ran into Agapi again when her sister Arianna Huffington was hosting a breakfast at their Soho apartment. Agapi is a bright beam of light, and I learned a powerful lesson in believing in my work from her. The 5-minute meditation that she shares in this episode is guaranteed to shift your state and bring confident ease into your presence. In this conversation, we discuss: How experiencing failure in her acting career led her to her spiritual journey Allowing vs hustling Lessons in money and the karma of finances How to allow your soul to come in and give you answers How to believe in yourself and your work How to overcome failure How to trust that everything’s unfolding the way it should be The importance of surrounding yourself with people who believe in you How to raise your vibration and shift your consciousness Agapi’s take on social media strategy Loving yourself by forgiving yourself Watch the powerful 5-minute meditation from this episode on YouTube.
