Monica is a Master intuitive, and experienced mentor, coach, and consultant who supports leaders and change-makers as they own and express their unique magic in the world. I met Monica through the Conscious Social Media Program, where she introduced me to the concept of being Funded by Source, as channeled by our teacher Michelle Sinnette. Get ready for your understanding of money, abundance and intuitive business to be disrupted with this episode!  We discuss: What it means to be Funded by Source Monica's career pivot being an intuitive mentor Why Monica doesn't follow other people's blueprints on being a successful coach  What is intuitive mentorship? The role that a near death experience (NDE) played in Monica's career shift Dolphin medicine Meeting your spiritual guides Co-creating with the medicine of ceremonial cacao  Being grateful for having a body Leaving behind the “shoulds” and creating your own paradigm of business Being divine and human at once Being a 5D Laundering Machine Understanding 3D and 5D New paradigm heart-led economy Upgrading the consciousness of money How to tune into your intuitive knowing one step at a time Letting the Source take over How one conversation with Monica opened up a whole new realm of possible revenue for me  Why manifesting money is not it Being at home in yourself  About Monica Carota:  Monica is a Master intuitive, and experienced mentor, coach, and consultant who supports leaders and change-makers as they own and express their unique magic in the world. After a near-death experience 5 years ago, Monica's intuition went from a quietly flickering candle to a bright, inextinguishable floodlight. As a result, she shifted her focus away from a successful corporate career, and started aligning all aspects of her business and life to her soul's highest calling. She now works as an Intuitive Mentor, supporting leaders in a heart-led way – helping them awaken their intuitive gifts, and create a ripple effect of positive change in their wake. Combining her business acumen, deep understanding of the human mind, and precise use of intuition and channeling, she helps you remember that you are magic, and invites you to be a beacon of change from the pure gold of your heart's knowing and your soul's Truth.

With the unemployment rate over 95% in the entertainment industry1, it’s common to have had the following thought in the last several weeks: "If my entire livelihood depends on other people’s ideas and projects, maybe my livelihood shouldn't depend on other people’s projects anymore?" This has become a very common thought amidst the pandemic. Here’s what a member of our community had to say in Episode 97: "Ultimately I love what I do. But I'd also love a lot more flexibility. I feel like you always have to say yes to a job, and I'd love to have the flexibility to turn the job down unless it's something that I'm really interested in." In today’s Community Q&A I invited special guest, TV editor Monica Daniel, to speak very candidly about her desire to find alternate ways to generate income besides editing television. As a single mother with a special needs child her time is limited to build her own empire, yet Monica has tremendous knowledge and value to share with the world. Is it possible for her to monetize her knowledge and build a business that can generate additional income aside from her regular career? And more importantly can she overcome the psychological fears, the imposter syndrome, and the many limiting beliefs that are most likely the only thing stopping her from taking the next steps towards financial freedom?

A quick update from our favorite "hot seat contestant", Debby Germino on her progress. (HINT: She's been taking massive action.) The Big Question: "How can I provide value that people are happy to pay for in ways I may not have thought about before now that I’m under quarantine?" How editor, Krysia Szyszlo is leveraging her Psychology degree and personal interests into a side hustle as a dating and relationship coach. She even has clients already! Listen as Zack puts Monica Daniel in the "hot seat" for a live laser coaching session. He helps reveal astonishing insights into what's holding her back from monetizing her valuable knowledge, experience, & assets (such as her online following who hang on her every word). Monica's compelling reason WHY she's pursuing a more flexible & independent way of earning income. The story of Monica's "Internet celebrity" status (wink) and how a random Facebook post inspired her to create a workshop on Assistant Editing in Scripted Television for BCPC that sold out in 40 minutes! The "magic question" she asked people which made her realize that she has a unique voice, perspective and relatability that appeals to aspiring assistant editors in a way that sets her apart from mentors with prestigious credentials. Why Monica believes the old adage "you have to pay your dues" is B.S. which can discourage talented creatives. And why her thinking about how to approach a career gives people the hope and reassurance they need to succeed. A transformative coaching experience happens in real time: Don't miss the powerful, paradigm shifting questions Zack asks which affirmed Monica's value and breaks down her limiting belief around monetizing the knowledge she shares. How giving some stuff away for free turns out to be a great way to attract people willing to pay you. (When you do it right.) Why it's actually good for people when they have to pay for your services as a mentor, coach, or trainer. HINT: How much more committed are you to following through with a training program when you've invested your hard-earned money into it versus when it's free? 2 industry examples of people who monetized their knowledge in totally non-exploitative ways: Lori Jane Coleman who wrote the ‘bible’ for working as an assistant editor Norman Holland who traveled the world getting paid to teach “Who am I to charge people for this?” - How to overcome 'imposter syndrome' and the emotional drivers that cause it. Key mindset: “Don’t pursue perfect at the expense of good enough.” Zack’s biggest transformation after 6+ years of doing this: The first time somebody gave him $97 Huge takeaway: “It’s not even about making money, it’s about teaching myself that I’m worthy of the value I’m asking from others.” The group goes into more questions such as: “What if I don’t know where to start? How do I even find an idea?” “What are the things I already enjoy where I feel like I can provide value?” “What if I’m not an expert?” Useful Resources Mentioned: Previous Q&A - Ep97: When Are We Going Back to Work?

What does it take to truly chase your dreams? For many people, living up to everyone else’s expectations squelches the fearlessness that it takes to go after dreams. Today’s show is all about not losing the youthful exuberance and drive that sets us on the path to our dreams. Monica Rivera is a NYC-based podcast producer, consultant, and speaker who is living a life full of experience by shaking up routines and challenging conventional thinking. She’s the host of YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!--a weekly podcast heard in over 70 countries. YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! Is a podcast about exploring interests, allowing ourselves to change, choose, and try, whether it’s a lifestyle, hobby, fitness transformation, career change, or a bucket list item. Young dreams Does Mom really know best? Monica’s mom didn’t think she could earn a good living or have a stable career doing something creative, so she pushed her into economics. Monica quickly realized it wasn’t her “thing,” but it put her on the corporate ladder. The younger Monica originally wanted to be a singer, and then the first Latina Supreme Court justice, and then a writer. Even though Monica won contests in school with her writing, her mom stepped in to turn her dreams into a different direction. TWEET: If you want to do something, take the first action step and the rest will follow. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams Spotlighting diversity Are there more dream chasers than you would expect? Monica says that everyone has a dream, but we don’t always have the freedom to chase it. She was in a corporate job and felt all her lights dimming. She was unhappy and felt that she wasn’t getting the opportunities she wanted. She knew she had to dig herself out of the hole she was in, and she asked herself, “What happened to the person I used to be?” TWEET: I love connecting the stories of human experience with an audience. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams It’s NEVER too late! Are you waiting to chase your dream? Even though it’s never too late, Monica hears many people say they are waiting for retirement or some other life event. We are conditioned to think we have all the time in the world---and this is the biggest problem in chasing dreams. Don’t wait for retirement! Monica’s advice is to start small by thinking about the things you really loved as a kid, and see if you can connect to those things now. Don’t think you have to give up all fun just because you’re an adult. Most people are way too tied to a timeline.  TWEET: Ultimately, I want to tell stories and amplify voices. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”What’s the one thing you would wish you had done more of if next Friday were your last day? That’s your dream, so go chase it.”   OUTLINE OF THE EPISODE: [:13] How Monica was introduced to me [1:01]Young Monica’s dreams [4:05] Why Monica wants to tell stories and learn people’s “why’s” [4:44] Enhancing the creative side with photography [7:02] Sharing stories through the podcast [8:10] The determination of Cyrus Harper [10:07] Spotlighting diversity [13:15] Holding to our fearlessness [14:30] How Monica has grown [14:55] Monica’s dream podcast guest---Oprah [19:22] How millennials and Gen Z’ers are chasing dreams [21:40] It’s never too late [26:27] Being comfortable can become uncomfortable [28:36] The difficulty in embracing “different”  [32:27] A picture in a ball pit [34:00] ONE action for a dream chaser    Resources: Monica on Facebook Monica on Twitter  Monica on Instagram  Monica’s Website Gregg Clunis episode  Cyrus Harper episode   TWEETS YOU CAN USE: TWEET: At the end of the day, you have to be happy with the life you live. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams TWEET: Most people think confrontation is a bad word---but I don’t. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams

Self-care is a conversation that I've been wanting to dive deep with and am thrilled to be talking about it with Monica Ballard, a massage therapist, reiki practitioner, yoga instructor, and fellow podcaster. Monica shares about her her life and work, using her personal journey to inform her professional passions around radical self-care.  We start our conversation with several book recommendations in the self-help genre, then weave our way through the concept of radical self-care as it relates to authenticity, awareness, integrity, and integration, and, finally, end on one of the most beautiful stories about crocodiles and the Never-Not-Broken Goddess.  I found this entire conversation to be informative, thought-provoking, and profound and am truly excited to go back and listen again because of the nuggets of wisdom Monica shares throughout.  I’d love to hear from you! What stood out most from Monica’s interview? What does the concept of radical self-care mean to you and how can you take steps to come into integrity in your own life? Topics Discussed: An introduction to Monica Ballard and what she does Monica's bookclub and the books that they've been reading so far (see Resource Links) How radical self-care came into Monica's life and what it means for her Why Monica says self-care and authenticity go hand and hand The root of radical self-care is deep listening and awareness Integrity as integration of body, mind, and spirit Why the core of self-care is about giving yourself what you need in the moment Monica's mantra of do no harm, but take no shit How we view others and what that says about how we view ourselves Why you cannot ask another person to do what you are unwilling to do for yourself Activating your feminine gifts through self-care What your psychic womb is and how to use it in your day to day life Why Monica says that anything we overuse can be turned into a weakness How to know when your out of alignment with your feminine energy Symbols as a way to bring us back to the core of who we are What do you desire and what are you willing to receive Desire as a gateway to uncovering your purpose and passion The story of Akilandeshwari, AKA the Never-Not-Broken Goddess  Monica’s definition of everyday magic and how it shows up in her life Connect with Monica Ballard online: Website Subscriber Wellness Hub (where the Book Club lives) Facebook Instagram INHABIT Creation Lab IN{HABIT} Podcast Resource Links: The Upside of Stress* by Kelly McGonigal The Willpower Instinct* by Kelly McGonigal Come As You Are* by Emily Nagoski Ph.D. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying* by Bronnie Ware   The self-care post (from Emily) The story of the Never-Not-Broken-Goddess (from Monica) Hit me up: Twitter: @emilylevenson and #somekindofmagic Instagram: @emilylevenson and #somekindofmagic FB Page: Emily Levenson * This is an affiliate link.
