Yedda Stancil, a coach, author, and spiritual guide shares her powerful journey of transformation through silence and self-discovery. Yedda reveals how a profound period of sitting in silence for two years led her to a radical shift in her life, fostering a deeper understanding of herself and the world around her.

Today's guest is such a powerhouse and honestly couldn't be more perfect for this show and the people who listen to it. We're talking with Yedda Stancil, a lifestyle and leadership coach that works with high achievers that have achieved high levels of external success, and want to shift and work on inward success. Think: self-worth, deep self-understanding, compassion, growing and motivating yourself from a place of love vs a place of inadequacy, and how to “do the work” without treating yourself like a never-ending self-improvement project. In my own personal and spiritual development journey, I've definitely fallen into the traps of perfectionism, hyper-healing, always needing to be growing or working on something, and to be brutally honest, feeling like if I'm not motivating myself from a place of insufficiency, that I won't be as motivated or driven. We talk through all of those things today, and we focus specifically on how shifting away from doing as a means to being, a more masculine framework, and into being as a means of doing, a more feminine framework, can help high achieving, high performance humans rise into their next level of not just external accomplishment, but inner peace and alignment.

How will you live your life so that you're always contributing to your legacy? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Jason Redman, former Navy Seal and motivational speaker, to shut up and sit down with her to talk about the victor and victim mentalities and how to be the best leader you can be. Jason shares his story of becoming a Navy Seal and realizing the importance of having a life mission, as well as his relationship with the ego, leadership, trauma, self-medication, and redemption. “People are hungry for two things in this world right now, they're hungry for leadership and their hungry for resiliency and what they don't realize is both of those things reside in you... Wake up and start leading yourself.” - Jason Jason has been through unimaginable traumas, which he calls “life ambushes”, throughout his lifetime, yet he has pushed through those difficult experiences to offer powerful lessons, encouragement, and motivation to others. Remember, pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Challenge the victim mentality. As Jason says, your scars are your super powers.   “What stories are you telling yourself? You're the only one that can master your mind. Period, end of discussion.

Why is gratitude so trendy right now? Does journaling about gratitude actually work? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, we're switching things up! As Yedda moves into chapter 9, focusing on gratitude, her friend and community member, Amanda Eaddy McKeithan, interviews Yedda on the power of sharing your true self and your story with the world and advocating for women empowerment. Then, Amanda talks to Yedda about her relationship with gratitude and leveraging the power of words to create good in the world, along with some incredible insights on how cultivating gratitude can help you blossom and reach success.  “Having this sense of gratitude is major…I believe that our words can either heal or they can kill.” - Amanda Gratitude doesn't mean you're always grateful for the good stuff. Sometimes, it allows you to sit in suffering, move through it, and as Amanda says, heal.   “Gratitude, if you know it or not, has really been under the current the whole time because all of existence is cheering for you, loving you, supporting you, is grateful that you are here… You matter simply because you exist.” - Yedda Resources: Listen to the episode of Yedda on Amanda's podcast: *Link needed* Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber: https://amzn.to/37rJFNE About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Have you ever felt emotionally out of control? Do you find it difficult to break “bad” habits? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Stuart, a friend and client, to shut up and sit down with her to dive into chapter 8 which is all about habits and The Habit Loop. As a seasoned corporate executive and leader, Stuart sheds light on the transformation he has experienced since learning how to shut up and sit down and practice mindfulness. As they introduce the concept of The Habit Loop, you'll learn how habits are created and the importance of recognizing your triggers. Plus, the pair discuss the effects of gratitude and ritual in the process of changing behaviors and releasing narratives. “Mindfulness doesn't fix or cure anything, what mindfulness gives us is the ability to recover… and we recover quicker.” - Yedda If you have habits that don't serve your highest good, you're not alone. The first step is understanding how habits work and why they're so powerful. Listen in to hear about the event that led to Stuart's break through, causing him to realize the power of habits and begin this revolutionary self-work.   “Do the work. It can be life-changing. Do it on your own time. Be vulnerable. Be accessible to yourself. If you want to change and become a more grounded, more present person that is better for your family, better for yourself, better in your community… I'd encourage you and push you, if you're thinking about doing it, do it. If you're in it, finish it.” - Stuart Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   How Habits Work – Charles Duhigg: www.charlesduhigg.com/how-habits-work  Try the Calm App: www.calm.com  About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Feeling stressed or burnt out? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Eric Brown to shut up and sit down with her to dive into chapter 7 which talks about stress and the relationship between mindfulness and stress reduction. Eric shares insight into the stress he was experiencing in his professional life, as an entrepreneur, and how he began to integrate mindfulness practices into his life to get to the root cause of his stress and ultimately decrease stress. Listen in to hear how Eric's business has changed as a result of implementing more mindfulness into his life and in his business. You'll learn how mindfulness is a critical component of being a great leader and entrepreneur, especially when you encounter the inevitable financial struggles that come with owning your own business. “The biggest thing was just not reacting to it, just taking a moment to stop and think the thought and how to think about the thought. Once I started to change the thoughts, I didn't react the way I naturally had reacted so much before.” - Eric Stress is often caused by the mind focusing on negative or fearful thoughts. When you sit still in silence, you're able to shift your focus onto the positive and empowering thoughts, enabling you to show up in the world as your best self.  “Your business outwardly is a manifestation of who you are inwardly.” - Yedda Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course Learn more about Fulfilltopia: www.fulfilltopia.com  Ted Talk on How to make stress your friend by Kelly McGonigal: www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

You have 24 hours in each day. How do you spend that time? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda shares a few of her favorite daily awareness practices that you can implement into your life, too. You'll learn how to cultivate mindfulness in the body, mind, and soul to decrease stress, increase self-awareness, and expand your sense of freedom.  “Presence has incredible transformative power. You buy all your freedom when you are present because what you find is, right here right now, look around, think about it, feel it. There's freedom, there's space, there's opportunity.” - Yedda It's all about experimentation to figure out what forms and methods of mindfulness suit you and serve you best. No matter what region you're from, no matter what religion you practice or race you are, no matter what upbringing or occupation you have… you can shut up and sit and cultivate inner space and inner freedom, leading us all to show up in the world in a different way.  “Silence and stillness is a critical key component for your own health and wellbeing and success in everything in life and that's ultimately what Shut Up and Sit is about.” - Yedda Resources: Join the SUAS Community; www.suascommunity.com Buy the ebook: www.suasebook.com   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

What is the difference between meditation and mindfulness? Well, there are many! In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes back Malikah Karim, a wellness advocate and yoga instructor, to shut up and sit down with her to talk about the differences between mindfulness and meditation, along with the five problems with meditation. Malikah and Yedda share their definitions of mindfulness and the simple, yet powerful ways you can practice mindfulness at any time of the day. “If you're gonna be caught up in what everyone else is doing and how they're doing it, you're gonna leave less space for what you're doing and how you're doing it. It's a powerful tool, mindfulness, and we really need to cultivate how we use it.” - Malikah The world needs silence. The world needs stillness. Malikah wants you to walk away from this episode knowing that hope really is the point of upward positive emotion and that it's something that will keep us all safe if we choose to let it.  “You start to realize, I get to create the life that I want and we're not in a world that teaches deliberate creation and empowerment and freedom, especially if you're a minority… So we're waking up to a world that says what if we're all empowered? What if we all have freedom?

Rachel speaks on her journey with mindfulness, what it was like to start working for a mindfulness-based startup, and how she incorporates mindfulness into a non-profit business.  Together, they shed light on how mindfulness can impact the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement and what makes The Inner Work Center one of the best places in Richmond to practice mindfulness and meditation.  “It really was such a tremendous difference in the way that I looked at life, the way that I treated myself, the way that I treated others, I was triggered less often and I found forgiveness, which was a huge thing for me.” - Rachel Mindfulness gives you the gift of being who you are without judgement. Whether you're a business owner, executive, entrepreneur, or team member, you can be a leader that leads from an overflow of compassion and love. Listen in to learn how you can get involved with the Inner Work community and learn more about the mindfulness programs and classes they offer. “Mindfulness doesn't say you've got to stop being who you are, it says you get to fully love and embrace who you are and when you do that, you can show up and give permission to other people to be who they are.” - Yedda Resources: The Inner Work Center: www.innerworkcenter.org  Inner Work of Race: www.innerworkcenter.org/innerworkofrace  Join the SUAS Community; www.suascommunity.com Buy the ebook: www.suasebook.com   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Have you ever felt not enough or unworthy? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes back Philip to shut up and sit down with her to dive into chapter 6 which is all about how to train your mind into believing you are enough. Yedda and Philip break down the five characteristics of enoughness and the science behind why mind training is so powerful, highlighting how mindfulness empowers the brain.  Philip also shares a personal story that illustrates his experience with imposter syndrome and not feeling enough, as well as his opinion on why we experience imposter syndrome. “Ultimately, what mindfulness cultivates is it teaches us the skills to believe that we are enough.” - Yedda The skills needed to believe we are enough and worthy of an abundant, thriving life are not taught in our society. Despite that, you have what it takes to cultivate a mindset of enoughness through mindfulness and training your brain. By cultivating these five characteristics of enoughness, you're contributing to your ability to thrive as a human being. Sounds wonderful, right? “Accessing and cultivating these qualities of our enoughness is both our opportunity in life and I also believe it's our obligation.” - Philip   Resources: Join the SUAS Community; www.suascommunity.com Buy the ebook: www.suasebook.com     About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

It's time for an unfolding; a liberation. Do you resonate? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the four stages of your unfolding, which happens as you begin to shut up and sit, become more aware, and work through your trauma and drama. Yedda speaks on the victim mindset, rewriting your narratives, manifesting, channeling your energy into your potential, and purely being in the present moment. “When you let go and you step into something larger and bigger-working in you and through you, you channel and come up with ideas, inspirations, solutions, love, resources, unlimited pure potentiality that will blow your mind.” - Yedda Remember, you only ever have control over three things in your life: the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take. When you decide you're ready to shut up and sit and work through your challenges or traumas, you will begin to unfold and liberate yourself. However, if you need additional resources, please seek them out! Wherever you are on the spectrums of trauma and drama, know that you are seen, you are loved, and you are not alone. “The question you do have to ask yourself is: Does this speak to me? Is this something for me? And if it's not, you have permission to just gently set it down mindfully and take what does speak to you.” - Yedda Resources: Join the SUAS Community; www.suascommunity.com Buy the ebook: www.suasebook.com   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

What does success mean to you? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the definition of success and shares her thoughts on how you can use mindfulness to create positive, healthy beliefs around success. Plus, she guides you through some questions and prompts to help you figure out what truly brings you joy and feelings of success. “What if success meant nothing more than your ability to remove all the barriers that prevent you from fully embracing and experiencing the present moment? What if that's what success was in our society?” - Yedda We all have different definitions of success and that's something that makes us unique and powerful. You have the power to use mindfulness as a tool for building a strong belief system that invites unlimited success.  “The whole secret here is being in the present moment is success.” - Yedda   Resources: The Little Soul and the Sun by Neale Donald Walsch: www.goodreads.com/book/show/148234.The_Little_Soul_and_the_Sun  Join the SUAS Community; www.suascommunity.com Buy the ebook: www.suasebook.com   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Do you ever feel like it's impossible to be present with yourself or with others? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the three major barriers to being in the present moment, along with how to remove those barriers and access your innate state of presence. You'll learn techniques for avoiding stress and overwhelm, cultivating moments of silence, and using mindfulness to recover from conflicts. “When you're not in the moment, you are going to make decisions based on old patterns and beliefs and behaviors, it's just the way it goes. When you're awake, aware, and available in this moment, you can access more data, more information, and you can access patterns that you're working on creating and you can really cultivate different ways of showing up in the world.” - Yedda Sometimes, accessing a state of presence can feel like homework. Contrastingly, it can also feel like the only thing that will keep us afloat. Mindfulness is a powerful tool that removes the barriers to being present. Mindfulness will make it easier and more impactful to sit in silence and exist in the present moment. Are you willing to try it out for yourself?

Do you truly feel free in life or do you feel like there are shackles of suffering holding you down? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda wraps up chapter four by talking about the three steps to finding inner freedom. Yedda loves to talk about freedom, as it's one of her core needs in life. It drives everything she does! You'll also gain insight into one of Yedda's favorite mindfulness practices for expanding your inner freedom, which is the sacred practice of primordial sound meditation. “Mindfulness says, if you want to get really into inner freedom, step into the present moment, put your boat in the water and actually flow with whatever comes.” - Yedda This is all about belief systems because you get what you believe. If you believe you can uncover your inner freedom and experience life through the lens of autonomy, you can. It's simple, yet as human beings, we often make it so complicated.  “Everything is brought to us at exactly the right time and in exactly the right way and place just as it's supposed to when we learn mindfully to just shut up and go with the flow.” - Yedda Are you ready to make your own earthquake, break open your mind and your heart, and find inner freedom?

Are you bringing your beliefs out in all you say and do in a way that inspires other people to see the love in you? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the five stages of ego recovery, or ego integration. You'll learn how to connect with your ego and use it to create connection with yourself, with your thoughts and feelings, with Source, and with silence.  “The ego is not the enemy. The ego was created to protect you, to serve you, to keep you safe. It's got a job, it's part of who you are. What we're doing with this work is we're inviting the ego to stop working so hard to protect you and create separation and dysfunction and drama.” - Yedda Once you begin to work with your ego instead of against it, your world will light up with connection. It's quite an incredible experience! Remember to believe in yourself, stand up for yourself, and remain firm. Invite your ego to have some fun and then celebrate your victories, big and small! “Give your ego a conquest, give it a purpose to work with you.” - Yedda   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see someone who is healing or someone who is hurt? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the four choices that matter when you start to consciously step into healing and shares a powerful story that shows healing happens whether you're aware of it or not. You'll also learn one of Yedda's favorite mindfulness techniques, loving kindness (aka metta), and how to do a loving kindness meditation on your own. “What we're using mindfulness for here is to cultivate the ability to be with all of life, not just the good stuff, not just the successful stuff… not just rubbing the rocks and crystals and saying, well if I do these five things, I too will become a millionaire.” - Yedda Living a life of love and integrity takes energy and intention. The fact that we're all here right now is a gift and if you're looking for a miracle, look in the mirror. Life is a miracle and we can create beautiful things with it. We can heal. We are healing. “Healing is happening. It's already happening. The belief systems that you hold, the wisdom that is inside of you, that unknown magic, those serendipitous moments, the people that cross your paths, whatever you want to call that, it's already happening.” - Yedda So, the real question is… where do you want this healing to take you?   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Stuck in the same old exhausting pattern of limiting beliefs? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the four ways to change a belief system, giving insights on energy psychology throughout the episode. Yedda also shares a beautiful poem that illustrates something we all need a reminder of: the enoughness that is inherently within you. “If you're getting what you want in life, then your belief system in working in a healthy way to get your needs met (if it's healthy). If you're not getting your needs met and you have something holding you back, you just need to change your perspective and you need to do it often enough so that you can get that to be automatic.” - Yedda You get what you believe and you get to change what you believe. The world is being asked to do this work right now. Are you willing to shut up and sit down and make a change? “Your ability to heal yourself is always available to you.” - Yedda   Resources: Even In The Struggle by Tara Mohr: www.taramohr.com/inspirational-poetry/even-in-the-struggle Bruce Lipton on Energy Psychology: www.brucelipton.com/topic/energy-psychology  Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the top 20 limiting beliefs, backed by psychology research, that are holding you back from achieving what you want in life. You'll gain insight into why you experience limiting beliefs and how to uncover your own limiting beliefs, along with how to rewrite them with beliefs that will enable you to reach your goals, feel successful, and feel like you are enough. “The limiting belief that's holding you back is the one that was created to protect you by your ego. It's the one that's been showing up in all of your behaviors and your attitudes and the way you engage in the world because at a very deep level, you've been conditioned by your ego…” - Yedda Did you resonate with any of these limiting beliefs? You're not alone, because the truth is, we all experience limiting beliefs! What does that little voice in your head say when it recognizes that belief as familiar? “We're gonna cultivate the skill and the capacity to teach you the ability to be deeply present with yourself and connected to your own needs and desires because people who believe they're enough have that as a skill.” - Yedda   Resources: Evolving Wisdom: www.evolvingwisdom.com  Brené Brown: www.brenebrown.com  Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

We live in a world that tells us to avoid pain and suffering at all costs… but pain and suffering is inevitable and it can serve you in powerful ways. In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the four ways we avoid suffering, along with her thoughts on why humans create small groups or cliques. You'll learn the connection between the ego and reliance on groups of friends or family and how to start leaning into pain and suffering to foster healing.  “When we get into this conversation of groups, be careful because you could get addicted to somebody else's truth and wear it and think that it is your own. And when we start to go within and get in silence, we start to realize maybe that's not my truth, maybe I've outgrown that truth.” - Yedda What purpose is your group serving and what belief system does it hold onto? Are you giving something to the group or expecting to get something from it? What would it look like if you let go, go with the flow, and said yes more often? These are important questions to ask yourself.  “The practice of being in community with other people who aren't going to take you into this third area of trumping your suffering with more suffering is a really important skill to cultivate and a really rare thing for you to have in your life.” - Yedda Now is the time to create a social norm of silence.   Resources: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle: www.eckharttolle.com/power-of-now-excerpt  The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer: www.untetheredsoul.com/surrender-experiment  Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

What really changes human behavior? If we know what we're supposed to do, why don't we do it? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the three myths of behavior change and the #1 thing that changes human behavior. You'll gain insight into how mindfulness impacts behavior change and how practicing primordial sound meditation can help you expand your consciousness, making it easier to change your behaviors. “Here's what changes human behavior. It's two words… social norms. That's it. It's that simple.” - Yedda If you've been using these three methods (myths) of changing behavior, go ahead and give yourself permission to forgive yourself. You didn't know that they wouldn't work! Today is the day you'll learn how to truly, effectively make behavioral changes and life the life you deserve.  “If we don't cultivate silence as a society as a social norm, then the egoic world community that we've created is just going to get harder and harder and harder to live in.” - Yedda   Resources: Ted Talk by Jeni Cross – Three Myths of Behavior Change: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5d8GW6GdR0  Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Imagine if you could rewrite a belief system. What would that do to your life? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the power of getting clear on what belief systems are and how the four brain waves affect belief systems and behaviors. You'll also learn how to change your belief systems, especially limiting beliefs, through mindfulness and sitting in silence. “When people achieve things and they become successful in life, it's because they possessed a belief system that helped them to get there. It's that simple. Anything works if you believe it works.”​​​​​​​​​- Yedda The world can heal from learning about belief systems, but as Yedda says… “You cannot change behaviors literally by education alone.”​​- Yedda In order for this knowledge to truly serve you, you must act on it and integrate it into your life. Silence is unconditioned consciousness which means when you shut up and sit, you can still be conscious and access something that has not been programmed or patterned yet. That's the power of silence. If all it took was shutting up and sitting with your thoughts to rewrite things that have been holding you back your entire life, wouldn't you do it?

Pode ser cheirando produto de limpeza no supermercado, pagando seus boletos ou assinando o contrato de aluguel. A primeira voz interna "virei adulta?" a gente nunca esquece. O questionamento ao final da frase provavelmente é resultado da crença de que conquistas específicas estariam atreladas a essa fase da vida: casar, ter filhos, conquistar sua casa própria, tudo antes dos 30, que é quando também nos ensinaram que já estaríamos "velhas" para tantas outras coisas. "Porque na sua idade eu já tinha filhos, meu apartamento e uma vida estável", a frase clássica das gerações mais velhas para destruir nossa auto estima ou apenas alimentar com violência nossa ansiedade. Mas será que estamos vivendo uma síndrome do peter pan coletiva ou os marcos da vida adulta apenas não são mais desejos universais? Se vivemos tantos ciclos diferentes, como vamos respeitá-los se os tempos da vida ficaram categorizados de maneira tão simplista quanto "criança - adolescente - adulto - velho"? Será que não podemos apenas deixar de lado esses números que identificam os tempos e apenas viver o agora em paz? Bom Dia, Obvious, eu sou Marcela Ceribelli, CEO e diretora criativa na Obvious e hoje converso com a artista e comunicadora Yedda Affini.

Leah shares her favorite form of mindfulness and then together, they speak on the importance of bringing the divine feminine into leadership and business and using mindfulness to work through the many challenges of the covid-19 pandemic. “If we want to cultivate beliefs of love, compassion, inclusivity, diversity, equity, justice… equanimity… how do we cultivate those belief systems? We've got to start investigating in what we believe and then investing in creating new belief systems.” - Yedda Leah is currently doing the Shut Up and Sit course with a group of diverse women in Richmond, so she has great insights to share with you on bold growth and development and how this mindfulness work makes a huge impact on women and on the world as a whole. Shedding light on her wisdom through powerful reflection, Leah shares her favorite parts of the work and what lessons have been the most helpful for her journey thus far. “If feel like this course work is helping me get regrounded into what my knowing, that I always knew, and my foundation was, but it's also helping to reconnect me to myself, to God, to that place of contemplation.” - Leah   Resources: Boss Babes RVA: www.bossbabesrva.com  Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

How do you show up in the world? How do you bring your true, genuine presence into everything that you do? The answer may not come naturally to you, but we can figure it out together. In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about the true purpose of the ego and how the ego is connected to your emotions and how you show up in the world. You'll also learn the 9 tremendous effects you have on others by being present with them.  “The job isn't to cut the ego out and to get rid of it and to banish it into the ethers and for it to never be seen again, that is its worst fear.” - Yedda With so much going on in the world, many of us don't even know who we are anymore, but this work helps you come back to your true self. Yedda shares an exercise you can use to work with your ego to master your mind, your behaviors, and your aspirations. You'll also gain insight into how to start integrating and inviting all parts of yourself back together in your mind and why that's so powerful. “When you can instill calmness and you can walk in a room and create psychological safety, and your ego is helping to do that, you become unlimited in your possibilities.” - Yedda Sit in silence. Invite your ego in for a conversation. Learn from them. Work with them.

You'll learn the power of the language you use and how to use language and expanded awareness to reprogram or rewrite the stories you tell. “If you're healing and getting out of past conditioning, whether it's from work or a relationship or family or cultural… it doesn't matter if the wounding happened when you were 5 or if the wounding happened when you were 50, where you are today, you're not that person [that] you were then.” - Yedda Yedda shares some of the ways she had been conditioned as a child, along with how she realized that your wounds can become your wisdom and a catalyst for immense growth. “Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.” - Yedda   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Having a hard time letting go of something or letting go of control? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Malikah Karim, a wellness advocate and yoga instructor, to shut up and sit down with her to talk about the nine steps of letting go. Malikah also shares her story and sheds light on her passionate relationship with mindfulness while speaking about the philosophy behind her work, including her upcoming retreat in Morocco, Heal Grow Love Repeat. “It's not about knowing, on a logical level, every single thing. We could never read all the books, we could never know everything, but what I arrived at [was]… the letting go led me to a knowingness in my being and that knowingness literally talks to me now and says, “I know it's all going to work out. I know that the best and highest good is happening for everyone involved.”” - Yedda Yedda and Malikah exchange their wisdom and thoughts regarding the nine steps of letting go, highlighting the power acknowledging negative thoughts and emotions, prioritizing emotional clearing, and letting others voluntarily evolve. “This is all circular, we're all going to go back to where we started… that's the cycle of life. So, I think that healing is not going to be separate from that, but we want to spend more time in the part of the circle that feels good and feels like upward motion than the one that feels like struggle and if you can do that, you are healing.” - Malikah Karim   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course Heal Grow Love Repeat Retreat: www.healgrowloverepeat.com  The Feeling Wheel: www.gottman.com/blog/printable-feeling-wheel  Learn more about Malikah and Pure Wellness Coaching: www.purewellnesscoaching.com Follow Malikah on Instagram: www.instagram.com/mkpurewellness    About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda teaches you “the S.T.O.P. technique”, a powerfulmindfulness tool you can use to stop an emotion in its tracks so that you can decide where to go and what to do next with intention, logic, and an open-mind.

Do you find yourself in downward spirals of depression or negative thought? Have you ever wondered why you feel like crap when you think like crap? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda talks about three ways we show emotion and what happens once we dive into the Emotional Guidance Scale. She describes where the Emotional Guidance Scale lives in our body, teaching you the science behind neuropeptides and how the body is affected by negative thoughts down to the cellular level.  “You have the capacity in your own thought process to tell your cells of your body to produce chemicals that are gonna lift up your body literally and grow and expand it and create connection, or shut it down and eventually cause death and destruction. That's exactly the power your thoughts have on the physical tissues in your body.” - Yedda You'll hear insights from research studies that illustrate the power of positive thinking, as well as the role of suppression/repression, expression, and escapism in your thinking and feeling processes. Yedda also lets you in on the secret to being able to contain and recover from negative thoughts, along with how thoughts and emotions are connected to addiction and substance abuse. “What I'm teaching you might be the process, but the tools of how you can do mindfulness, how you can go within, and self-inquiry… there's thousands of them... One of the ways I suggest is just getting the pen and paper out, getting really real with yourself… we've got to start to shut up and sit and start to look inside and figure out: What are we doing with our emotions and where are they coming from?” - Yedda Remember, it's all energy in motion.   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Are you creating your own darkness, your own hell? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes back her mother, Austine, to shut up and sit down with her to discuss what the Emotional Guidance Scale is and how to use it to increase vitality, improve your energy, and change your life. “When you're in the downward spiral, it's a heavy, dense feeling… Upward is just a higher, more vibrant, light, energetic feeling. My life just got better, it got better on every level.” - Austine You'll gain insight into Austine's powerful journey to discovering the Emotional Guidance Scale and creating the viral graphic that goes along with the concept. She also shares how she uses it with clients to help them change their mindset, remove unhelpful habits, let go of the victim mentality, and be the best version of themselves they can be. Then, Yedda talks about poetry as a potent way to shut up, sit down, and be mindful, followed by a reading of a lovely poem by Portia Nelson. “The whole journey is about becoming independent, taking your power back, and realizing there's a connection between your thoughts and that you can feel the energy shift… if you can just think a different thought and create a different energy, you will feel it in your body and then you will know: I did that. Mom didn't do that.” - Austine   Resources: Watch Episode 2 with Austine: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9_XuNkbbtk  Power vs. Force by David R.

First comes thought… then comes emotion… In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Karrie Southall, a dear client and friend, to shut up and sit down with her to discuss the power of this movement and the work they've done together. Now that we've moved past the bulk of our discussion on thoughts, the duo dives into emotions, where they come from, and how they relate to behavioral changes in a corporate workplace, especially for women.  Karrie was struggling with her career when she discovered Yedda and her work. She shares with you her experience with this unconventional method of self-development and how it has impacted her role as a leader, a COO, and a mother.  You'll learn how Karrie's relationship to her thoughts has changed since practicing introspective mindfulness, as well as aher candid thoughts on the power of sitting in silence compared to structured mindfulness and meditation practices. Plus, Yedda and Karrie share a practical mindfulness technique you can use at any time, even at work, to increase focus and decrease anxiety.  “My mind was so busy with so much going on and the amount of responsibility that I had that I wasn't present in conversations. I wasn't present in my job. I wasn't present as a mom. So I was constantly anxious about the next thing that was going to come up, the next issue that was going to come up, whether that be at home or at work. Really, the introspective work that I did with you, along with practicing mindfulness on a regular basis, allowed me to really kind of calm my mind and be able to be present in the moment.” - Karrie Southall    Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course To learn more about Karrie Southall and to connect with her, visit: www.linkedin.com/in/karrie-southall-359216bb  “If you go within, you can find silence and stillness.” - Yedda Stancil   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

You'll learn the different stages of thinking, along with their impact on our beliefs, actions, and how we show up and connect with others. Yedda shares the best way to change behaviors and a simple mindfulness practice you can use to rewire or reprogram your unconscious beliefs. “Everything is just a big ol' mountain of data. Experiences are being filtered and then we're climbing that Ladder of Inference in our own psyche, in our own mind… that's a meaning-making system that all human beings use.” - Yedda Stancil 95% of your day is driven by your unconscious mind, so if your unconsciously programmed belief systems are holding you back, it's going to feel as if you're not moving forward towards where you want to be in life. With thousands of ways to meditate and be mindful, there are thousands of ways you can tap into your subconscious mind, identify what's going on inside of yourself, and reprogram your beliefs.  “There's a divinity and a dignity to shutting up and sitting down that is really personal to you and it is so personal that when you walk out into the world, nobody climbs the Ladder the way you're climbing the Ladder.” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Do your “truths” define you? What beliefs are holding you back? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Chase Chewning, a health coach turned podcaster, Creator and Host of Ever Forward Radio, and Yedda's beloved client, to shut up and sit down with her to talk about what it looks like to challenge limiting beliefs and negative thoughts.  Listen in as Chase shares his beautiful story, detailing how he learned to interrupt negative thought patterns, question his belief systems, and choose thoughts that help him realize his inner power. Yedda and Chase speak their minds on how to work with the ego and how they work with clients to solve their problems by trusting their own inner wisdom. You'll learn the powerful effects of becoming aware of your narratives and belief systems, how health coaching is becoming more integrative, and the ultimate goal of this work.  “I've discovered that I have something so much bigger than myself inside of me and by not sharing it with others, by not helping it manifest, by not working continuously for it, I'm doing so many people a disservice, including myself. That's my truth. At my company, [Ever Forward,] we believe to live a good life is to be continuously leaning into discomfort, to continuously be reflecting on limiting beliefs that might hold us back.” - From a testimonial by Chase Chewning Everything in your life is determined by a belief system. Remember, you are enough. You are worthy. You are strong. You are imperfectly perfect and you are the master of your life.  “None of us are perfect. The secret for success is not to become perfect, it's to become more aware of: Who am I? What am I thinking? What am I feeling?

Which comes first: thinking, feeling, or behaving? Most people guess emotions or feelings... In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda breaks down the top ten cognitive distortions we experience and how our thoughts become distorted. Cognitive distortions often cause us to spiral into a vortex of negative emotions and behaviors, though there are ways to avoid that. Listen in as Yedda integrates modern psychology research with ancient mindfulness practices to bring you practical ways to improve your quality of life.  What are negative thoughts and what power do they have? You'll learn how the ten cognitive distortions impact your life and your wellbeing, along with how to shift your mindset and continue your evolution with simple mindfulness techniques. “Thoughts are mental units of energy that come first. Thoughts create emotions… These thoughts that we create literally go down into every cell in our body.” - Yedda Stancil It takes five positive thoughts just to outweigh one negative thought. Don't be intimidated by this. Lean into the discomfort, stop discounting positive thoughts and experiences, and focus on implementing positive affirmations. Let's start cultivating an environment that nurtures shared positivity and love. Remember, the brain is only one part of who you are.  “You can't think your way… into constant positivity… Silence and presence with a thought can completely and radically change your entire experience.” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: Books by Rick Hanson: www.rickhanson.net/books  Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

It is really easy to navigate through life without actually being conscious of how we are behaving, what we are creating and why we do what we do. Consciousness means not only being alive, but also being aware. In this episode of the Hidden Potential Podcast, Sarah Saffari welcomes Yedda Stancil for a conversation about changing belief systems, reprogramming thoughts, and awakening to life.   “When you start to see contrast, when things start to challenge or question the way you show up in the world, what happens is we start to get curious and we start to ask ‘What's going on? Is there something else here that I might need to look at?'” – Yedda Stancil   What we feel dictates what we do and in order to change ourselves it's important to change our beliefs about previously learned patterns and behaviors which we no longer want to have. The key for this whole change process is awareness: paying attention to our daily actions, our self-dialogue, our inner talk, and our habitual thoughts. Yedda also explains that our ego might get in the way once in a while, but it's important to have patience and compassion with ourselves.   “It's not about getting rid of or beating down the ego, it's about integrating him or her back into the experience and saying ‘thank you so much for protecting me.'” – Yedda Stancil   You will also hear about how good it is to have a community, a group of people, and models you want to be similar to. They will serve as inspirations for the new “you” that you want to create. Engage in communities, make connections and if you don't have one, be the first one. Start this new social form, this new movement that will shape fresh ideas of awakening to the real consciousness.    “Social norms are the number one way to change your behavior so whatever you're trying to show up with in a relationship, in a business, in your community, with your health, whatever it is, go find people that already have what you want.” – Yedda Stancil   About Yedda Stancil Yedda Stancil is a Consciousness Coach and Consultant. In her work, Yedda incorporates important aspects of mindfulness, personal development, personal growth, and headship skills with the business and personal lives of her clients.   Key Timestamps [02:05] – What does it mean to be a consciousness coach; [04:37] – Move out from the autopilot way of living; [09:23] – How the environment influences our awakening; [14:07] – How to change our belief system; [18:32] – Why it's important to be patient when changing belief systems; [25:01] – Yedda explains it's normal to shut down when we want to change; [32:50] – To rewire old beliefs we must be in this constant dialogue with ourselves; [35:30] – You can be the creator of a new social norm; [41:08] – Why the ego is a consequence of your concept around it; [47:08] – Do you know why your ego is different from everybody else's?   Related Links CEOwned Free Mini Course Podcast: Shut Up and Sit with Yedda Stancil (Apple Podcasts) Book: shutupandsit.com   Connect with us!

In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda explores the five basic human needs and tells a powerful story of one human's connection during her travels to Morocco that illustrates the beauty of humanity and the basic need of safety and security. Yedda takes a deep dive into the role of mindfulness in connecting with one another and making change in the world, as well as the five crippling habits that people have developed to accommodate for or put in place of the basic human needs.  “I believe that we can all hold different truths at the same time. I believe that mindfulness is way more than putting yourself in a pretzel on a cushion somewhere with some cool music and disappearing from the world.” - Yedda Stancil Are your needs being met? If so, how are they being met? How can these insights into our basic human needs help you connect to your own humanity and to the humanity of the world? Going deeper into the silence of awareness helps us radically love and accept ourselves so that we can radiate that same love into the world to make a meaningful impact.  “I know that this silence, this ability to shut up and sit down, actually cultivates an ability for me to show up in the world differently and to accept all human beings.” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl: www.goodreads.com/book/show/4069.Man_s_Search_for_Meaning  Buy Yedda's book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course    About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

Philip sheds light on his wisdom-filled, candid thoughts on what living a human life is all about, as well as how practicing and teaching mindfulness with his partner, Kay, has allowed their relationship to grow and deepen.  “Part of what mindfulness is about is the invitation to experiment.” - Philip Davidson There are four conditions of being human that are beyond our control and what happens next is up to us! Yedda invites you to shut up and sit down while Philip invites you to write these four conditions down and reflect upon how each of them shows up in your life. Allow this to bring you to a place of self-love, compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance of who you are and who others are.  “Unless we accept the reality of what's already happened, this moment that's here right now… we're caught up in denial that it's happening, we resist it, or my favorite, wishing things to be other than they are.” - Philip Davidson   Resources: The Innerwork Center: www.innerworkcenter.org  Insight Meditation Community Washington: www.imcw.org  Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course    About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

The link is what you think! In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda explains what this phrase means and how it works in our mind. She talks about the significance of metacognition, which essentially is “thinking about thinking” or observing your thoughts without judgement, in the context of mental well-being and living a healthy life.  “Why do we care about thoughts in this whole process? Because if we don't wake up and realize what we're thinking, we're not going to be able to unravel what we're doing.” - Yedda Stancil Thoughts are not talked about in the health and wellness space as much as they need to be talked about. You don't need to “just be positive” or think your way into a better place. Your freedom lies in becoming aware of your thoughts. What you think is going to create what you feel and what you feel is going to inspire you to take action on something.  “The whole point of shutting up and sitting down is not to stop the thinking… you're simply taking a step back and you're actually becoming aware of “What the fuck am I thinking right now?”” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course    About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

When was the last time you invested in your health? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda shares ten steps to getting real with yourself, feeling better, and living a fulfilled life. Before divulging those ten steps, Yedda details her experience developing unhealthy habits and patterns with alcohol and drugs, the darkness and loss that led her to start working in the health and wellness industry, and the role that silence plays in integrating the mind, body, and spirit. “Your creation is the most valuable possession you have on planet Earth or in the Universe and it's time for all of us to wake up and realize the sacred magic of who we are as human beings, in this physical form, in this lifetime.” - Yedda Stancil Your health is your greatest source of wealth. You have the power to make choices that lift your your body up and lift your mind up.  “There is no guarantee that we get the next moment, but wouldn't it be awesome if you could break free from those addictive patterns and habits, all those shitty behaviors that are causing the chronic disease… that are holding you back from living your fullest life?” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course    About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes JJ White, a Dale Carnegie franchise owner, to shut up and sit down with her to discuss the meaning behind Yedda's favorite chapter of her book: Why Are You Killing Yourself? They also talk about the relationship between health, wellness, personal growth, and development. JJ shares his experience with getting diabetes in his 40s, gaining weight during the covid-19 pandemic, and what finally pushed him to work with a health coach and take a more intentional, driven approach to health and nutrition. He describes his incredible physical and mental health transformation and how he beat diabetes, then he and Yedda share their candid thoughts on the 75 Hard program.  “There's this false belief that if you just go to the gym and you just run… you can eat what you want, you can do what you want… totally untrue.” - JJ White Yedda believes we can all wake up out of our Twinkie and Cheetos trances to see the truth of who we really are. Listen in learn insights into how to change a belief system and interrupt patterns of behavior that don't serve you, the role that inner needs plays in our unhealthy behaviors, and the two biggest lessons JJ has learned on his weight loss journey.  “What inner need does your worst habit fulfill?” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: 75 Hard: www.andyfrisella.com/pages/75hard-info  Mel Robbins' Ted Talk: www.ted.com/talks/mel_robbins_how_to_stop_screwing_yourself_over Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course  To learn more about JJ White and to connect with him, visit: www.dalecarnegie.com/en/en/locations/central-virginia-west-virginia/jj-white   About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

The secret to mindfulness, according to Yedda Stancil, is understanding that “beliefs are not who we are.” She stresses the importance of self-awareness to be able to catch the thoughts that feed into our belief system, because our truths define neither us nor the people around us. Chase and Yedda look back on the evolution of their respective careers. They reflect on the various opportunities they’ve faced and the many challenges to their beliefs over time, and how these experiences gradually shaped their purpose and their truth—what Yedda calls “the awakening of my narrative.” Yedda goes on to share how she works with clients looking to experience change by helping them bring to the surface those things that are already inside them—to help them realize that they are enough. Yedda Stancil is a consciousness coach and highly sought-after consultant for both individuals and organizations. She is the founder of Fantastically Fit! Inc. as well as Mindfulness Bar in Richmond, Virginia. She is the author of Shut Up and Sit: Finding Silence and All the Life-Changing Magic that Comes with It and the host of the Shut Up & Sit Podcast.   Follow Yedda @yeddastancil Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/464  Listen to episode 9 with Yedda at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/9  Save 15% on Cured Nutrition at http://bit.ly/2RmXcja Learn more about Yedda at https://yeddastancil.com  Listen to Shut Up and Sit at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shut-up-and-sit/id1561078547 

In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes her father, Bob, to shut up and sit down with her to explore what it means to create a love-based vision for your life and how to discover your purpose by moving beyond ego and the trappings of external success. Bob reflects on a childhood chock full of sports, adventure, and a disdain for school; and an adulthood defined by sheer hard work, ever-increasing responsibilities, and an unquenchable thirst to have more in life. It's a journey of growth that required the constant shattering of limiting beliefs; a search for meaning that didn't involve money, titles, or accolades; and helping his new family realize that they could create the life of their dreams through the power of a strong vision. “If your vision is not based on love, the work that's going to be required is arduous instead of pleasurable. That doesn't mean all the work in a love-based vision is pleasurable; but it's a lot more pleasurable if it's based on love. You love what you're doing. You'll run into some headwinds and you'll get a few tailwinds and so on; but the key is, when the love is on anything, it can't help but succeed. If somebody tells me they love something, then they're going to succeed. They have to succeed because love is the most powerful influence in the universe.” - Bob Listen in to hear how a carefree, small-town kid grew to be a respected leader in both his family and career, and how he and Mom came together with a common vision that instilled within the whole family a passion for self-development. “It doesn't matter what you do. Be in a place of love and alignment, and you'll wake up everyday and high-five the Universe because you're excited to get up and do what you want to do.” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course    About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes her mother to shut up and sit down with her to explore her personal growth and healing journey, which has allowed their entire family to break free of addiction, abuse, and unhealthy patterns and habits.  Mom shares her experience with getting pregnant with Yedda as a teenager, living in extreme poverty, and working to create a better life for themselves. They discuss topics like intergenerational trauma, breaking free of the victim mentality, and struggling with alcoholism, depression, and anxiety as a mother of four. Mom speaks on the monumental turning point, induced by silence, that led to her a higher knowingness and recovery from alcoholism. “In that silence, the greatest peace just came upon me that I had ever experienced in my life. I had never experienced anything like it and I knew for the first time in my life that if God could take my life and He didn't, I was supposed to be here and there was a purpose and a plan for my life and I didn't have to know what it was, I just had to show up and surrender.” - Mom It's never too late to go within and do the work because it creates a ripple effect for future generations. There's so much beauty in that and Yedda's mother is one example of that beauty. Listen in to hear her incredible story of learning and healing that has inspired the Shut Up and Sit movement, as well as how she and her partner are incorporating silence and stillness in their daily lives. Plus, Mom gives powerful advice for people feeling worthless and stuck in life. “The pain is going to happen in life, but suffering is optional.” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course    About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

How do we wake up and find love within ourselves to take out into the world? Welcome to the first episode of Shut Up and Sit! Yedda Stancil is bringing something completely different to the personal growth and development space, inviting you to cozy up and learn a bit about herself and the Shut Up and Sit movement.  “Shut Up and Sit” is a phrase that Yedda was told many times as a child and she's here to reclaim that phrase, turning silence into her close friend. Though, Yedda's probably not the only one who has been told to shut up and sit down, right? Join us to learn what this podcast is going to be about and the powerful reasons behind why it exists in the first place! Yedda talks about the breakthrough she experienced that led her to a journey of self-discovery, self-love, and learning to work with the ego instead of trying to get rid of it. She speaks on the roles of therapy and coaching in personal growth and development, how healing her relationship with silence impacted her life in profound ways, and how you could be impacted by this inner work too. “It was so exciting and almost kind of provocative to think that I held everything inside of me that I needed and that I didn't have to go to anybody else to find it. The answers were just coming through the silence.” - Yedda Stancil Source and the soul speak to us in silence. The answers are within you and it's your responsibility to learn how to love yourself and thrive in life. You don't have to sit in suffering forever… but how? Stay tuned every week to gain insight into Yedda's system for teaching you how to shut up, sit down, and go within to find those answers you desire! “The biggest problem right now is a lack of love… What people really want most, what the world needs most, is love.” - Yedda Stancil   Resources: Buy the book: www.yeddastancil.com/buy-the-book Take the course: www.yeddastancil.com/take-the-course    About Yedda: As a consciousness coach and consultant, Yedda strives to be present with everyone she meets, aspiring to pay total attention without judgement.

This is, to date, my longest and perhaps most hard-hitting interview on improving the SELF. In this episode, we discuss how our own limiting beliefs are usually the root of our limitations. How the ego masks itself in various ways that form unwanted habits, how to bring awareness into your life to allow these to surface and the action required to improve upon them so we can truly step into our own greatness. I had the privilege of sitting down with one of my fellow VCU alum and colleague Yedda (yes, it's just YEDDA). Her wealth of experience in entrepreneurship, wellness, coaching and self-help have always left a lasting impression with me. Yedda currently resides in Richmond, VA and serves her community in a variety of ways; health coaching, personal training, executive coaching and all things wellness. She can be found at www.yeddas.com.
