We will learn: What self-abandonment is and how it affects our relationships The different parts of the self and how to heal them The 6 steps of inner bonding Most people don’t realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don’t know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from neglecting their inner child, who carries false beliefs that have been playing on repeat since childhood.  As I’ve navigated my own personal growth journey, I’ve noticed that unwinding these beliefs is a continual process. When I deal with a new kind of hardship, or even sometimes when I level up, I discover a new set of complexities to learn to overcome. So it’s helpful to have a repeatable process instead of going in totally blind every single time. Well  today, I’m bringing you that process, and it’s called Inner Bonding. Inner bonding is the process of connecting our adult thoughts with our instinctual, gut feelings—the feelings of the “inner child”. This helps us work through inner conflict, so that we can feel peaceful, open to joy, and open to giving and receiving love. Our guest is Margaret Paul, bestselling author, popular MindBodyGreen writer and co-creator of Inner Bonding and SelfQuest self-healing online program.

We will learn: The myths about self-love How to make sure you’re improving yourself from a place of love and not fear or comparison How to heal your past with imagery rescripting   The most intimate relationship we have in life is with ourselves. What’s your relationship with yourself like? Is it healthy?    How well do you know yourself? And I mean that deep core part of you, not just what everyone sees on the surface.   What I’ve come to learn is that true self love is loving all aspects of yourself. That doesn’t mean you don’t have a desire to improve. But it means that desire is coming from a place of wholeness.   The problem is, most of us have so much negative self-talk or destructive habits and beliefs that drive our behavior, that getting to a place of deep self-love seems out of reach.   That’s what we’re talking about today.   Our guest is Sarah Pendrick, founder of the life-changing GirlTalk Network, GirlTalk Foundation, and Girltalk Festival.   Sarah has dedicated her life to supporting people in living bravely as their true selves and teaching them to believe in their gifts so that they can live their life full of abundance, love, and complete knowing of their worthiness.  Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/179 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We will learn: How to assess your energy and how it’s currently aligning with your idea of wealth The “who am I” syndrome that stops transformational experts in their tracks The three wealth codes for accumulating more abundance When I say the word wealth, or wealthy, what comes up for you? What feelings come up in your body?   Our relationships with money can be tricky. Many of us are uncomfortable discussing money or feel anxiety around wanting money. We may even feel that wealthy people are greedy, stingy, or hoarding all the wealth.   But being wealthy has much less to do with acquiring money, than it does living in a certain mindset that allows you to have a healthy relationship with money.    It’s not just about learning about money, it’s about believing you can create a new reality. And to create a new belief system, we often have to break through our blockages that we’ve spent a lifetime, or maybe even several lifetimes, building up and getting in our own way.   That’s what our guest Stacy Hartmann, will guide us through today. She is a business success coach, international speaker, and the founder of The Wealthy Minimalist.   Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/x39 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We will learn: How to frame your mindset to make working from home a blessing What habits we need to cultivate to thrive working from home How to structure your day in a way  that works for you Since March of 2020 more people than ever are working from home. There are a lot of positive aspects to working from home, but as many are finding out, there are negatives as well.    It can be difficult to hold yourself accountable. It’s hard to avoid distractions, especially with a partner or little ones in the home with you. It’s hard to stay motivated without the collective energy of everyone around you working toward the same goal. It’s hard to go day in and day out without seeing new people.   But remember, where you rest your focus, is how you will experience your reality. There is more freedom in working from home, but if you’re not feeling that freedom, you’re probably not setting yourself up for it. Today, our guest Dane Sanders will help us reframe our work-from-home mindset. Dane is the CEO of tellmeyourdreams .com, a performance coaching company that motivates employees to give their best and is designed specifically to keep remote teams connected. He also teaches, writes, and consults on habits and human flourishing.   Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/178 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We will learn: How to harness the power of a transitional period in your life How to move through phases and emotions without holding onto the past Grief recovery method: what healthy closure looks like Often we find resistance in ourselves as we navigate a transition. This is especially true when transitions are forced upon us, but can also be true when we’ve made the choice to transition - whether it be to a new career, new relationships, or letting go of a habit.    We prepare for a change and think we’re totally prepared for it, just to realize we never could’ve accurately prepared for something that we haven’t yet experienced.    If we can never fully prepare for the inevitable transitions of our lives, surely there are ways to go through the process more gracefully. Perhaps even valiantly.    That’s what we’re talking about today.    Our guest is Nicole Nowparvar.  She is a licensed psychotherapist and life coach, who helps people in their 20's and 30's turn their difficult transitional phases into opportunities to reach their greatest potential.

We will learn: How we’re born connected to Source and why we forget our connection to Source over time How we can accept that there’s no real right and wrong when some things clearly seem evil How we can balance accepting what is, personal responsibility, and advocacy What if you had one hour to speak directly to Source? To absorb whatever knowledge and wisdom you could from the field of universal truth.   This is actually possible for all of us. This is what occurs when people channel guidance, or open the akashic records, or just tap into their intuition.   Your intuition is a part of you, but it’s also a part of everything. It’s our connection to all that is, that enables us to tap into information that we haven’t directly acquired. And because we are all born with intuition, each of us can learn how to exercise it, and tap into this universal knowledge.   Today we are talking to David Strickell, and he channels what he calls The Stream.  He says we all have access to The Stream, we just need to learn to go deep enough within ourselves enough to access it.   Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/ Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We will learn: Why we get caught up in chasing what we don’t have How to embrace the power of our limitations The value of knowing a little about a lot   We often think the key to success and fulfillment is to get more: more money, time, and stuff; bigger homes, better job titles, more resources.  But have you ever known someone who has it all but still never seems to be satisfied? Well, the truth is, owning less has been shown to increase your happiness levels, as counterintuitive as it may sound. When you own less, you are more creative with your resources, and value what you do have even more.  Today we’re going to zoom back in to The Now, to this moment, to what you do have, and figure out how to bring back resourcefulness.

We will learn: How to turn obstacles into advantages as a highly sensitive entrepreneur The biggest ways HSEs get in their own way The best energy management techniques for HSEs to thrive   Do you consider yourself a sensitive person? Do you have a low threshold for stimulation; a need for alone time; sensitivity to light, sound, and smell; and an aversion to large groups? These are all characteristics that describe what Dr. Elaine Aron has termed a “Highly Sensitive Person”, or HSP.    HSPs tend to love nature and quiet environments, and they love helping others. Sometimes they might feel like their sensitivities are a weakness, especially living in a society where productivity is often valued over quality.    Today’s episode focuses specifically on entrepreneurs who are highly sensitive. We’ll dive into techniques that will teach you not only how to effectively manage your life as an HSP, but also how to thrive in your career.   Our guest Heather Dominick is the expert on Highly Sensitive Entrepreneurs.

We will learn:  How our crappy unsupportive thoughts about others affect our one confidence Why confident people don’t compete and are not jealous How to harness the qualities of confident people  no matter what our personality is right now   Often, the idea of confidence is associated with a specific personality - the person who walks into a room and commands attention. The person who is really sure about who they are and what they have to offer, so they show up in the world a little more boldly than the rest.   It is easy for us to look at people like this and think, “If I only had what they had, I would be confident too.” We tend to think the grass is greener, but usually it’s just a different situation with a different set of complexities.   So if our looks, money, and achievements aren’t the source of confidence, where does true confidence come from?   Today Elle Russ will teach us how to build confidence regardless of our personality type. She’s the author of Confident As Fu*k, a TV/Film writer and the host of two podcasts: The Primal Blueprint Podcast & Kick Ass Life Podcast.   Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/x36 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We will learn: How your self-worth affects your friendships How to get comfortable having necessary conversations to keep your friendships strong and  moving forward A unique formula for building your tribe In the current world of social media and online personalities, the word “friend” can take on so many meanings. But today, when we talk about friendship, we are talking about those deep, meaningful relationships that make life’s challenges easier to bear. Those loving, supportive people who see you for who you really are.   When you think about your closest friends, do you feel like you can be yourself in front of them? Do you feel uplifted by them or judged by them? Can you share your deepest concerns with them, or does your connection feel more superficial?  It is scientifically proven that the quality of our friendships impacts our health. If those closest to us affect us so deeply, we should be picky about who we share our energy and time with.  That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Leah Dean. She is a leadership coach and the author of “Assemble the Tribe”.  She helps women unleash their unique value, redefine their tribes and reimagine how they show up in the world.   Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/174 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We will learn: Why your fears about oversharing are probably invalid How to get past your fear of shame How to add more depth to your friendships What do people really know about you? Do you have things that you just wouldn’t dare share? Think about it: We wonder why we feel lonely but at the same time, we don’t tend to let people in. How can we feel fully known or accepted if most people don’t even really know who we are?  We spend a lot of time and effort crafting these perfect lives to post online. We spend hours scrolling through each others’ highlight reels. Then we have a false sense of comparison of how the world and the people in it really are. Our struggles, and the things we view as imperfections, are all part of the human experience and they’re more common than you might realize. What if, instead of hiding your perceived flaws, you opened up a little? What if you trusted that you’re always doing the best you can with what you know at the time and felt worthy no matter how many little mistakes you’ve made? How freeing would that feel? How would your friendships change if they were based on the real you instead of this curated version of you? How would your conversations change if they went further than surface level? Well today we’re gonna open up a little. Or at least learn how. Our guest is Laura Tremaine. She is a writer and fellow podcaster. Each week on her podcast 10 Things To Tell You, Laura asks a question that listeners take to their journal, social media, or use to spark a great conversation. Her first book Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First is all about opening up and forming deeper friendships but getting a little more personal.

We will learn: What dharma is and the 4 types of dharma The 5 stages of dharma discovery The 9 Dharma Archetypes and how to find out which one we are Is who you are defined by what you do, or is what you do defined by who you are?    Today we’re talking about dharma - your purpose, or universal nature.   When we think of purpose, we often think of our careers. But defining yourself by your career is extremely limiting when you think about it. Especially when you consider who you really are - a divine being, living a human experience.    It is natural for us to manufacture stories about ourselves based on our human experience, but using these stories to define ourselves doesn’t leave much room for expansion. So what if instead, we tapped into our true nature - or dharma - and used it as the guiding compass for all the choices we make in life?   Today’s guest Sahara Rose, 3-time best-selling author, speaker, and podcast host will guide us through this process of self-discovery. She will explain how to let go of the manufactured personality that you’ve developed over the years, and fully identify with the divine being that you are to unlock your limitless potential.  Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/173 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We form beliefs about ourselves and the world and other people and it affects how we show up. We stress ourselves out over the little things and it becomes a habit.   We resist what is, usually starting with our thoughts. And we create habits of thought that make our lives harder.   This includes the little things in life. And if you’re not careful, you can actually permanently damage your own brain.    So today, we’re talking about how to deal with stress in a crisis and how to heal your brain and body from all the stress you created before you knew better.    Our guest is Dr. Jennifer Love. She is on the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Board of Addiction Medicine. She has created a proven model to manage chronic stress and has worked with thousands of patients who have undergone trauma and loss.   Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/x34 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We will learn: How to untangle the lies we hold about ourselves How to make peace with shame How to build emotional resilience   What does perfectionism have to do with food?   Perfectionism is the tendency to hold unrealistically high standards. This mindset can carry beyond work or projects. Often perfectionists also bring this mindset into their expectations for their own bodies. It’s also a common trait in people with eating disorders BUT that’s not the only way it manifests.   You may restrict your food or beat yourself up when you don’t adhere to a certain way of eating.  Skipping your workout one day feels like an epic fail. Or maybe you just spend way too much time trying to live up to your own impossibly high standards.   What would it feel like to let all of that go? What would it feel like to feel free and comfortable in your body. To trust your body’s signals and eat from a place of nourishment… to allow yourself the reward of pleasure food without feeling bad about it, knowing that you can have a muffin without eating all the muffins.   Today our guest is Iona Holloway. She is an author, coach, and speaker. She helps women stop shrinking their bodies, worth, and power through vulnerability, creativity, and breathwork.

We will learn: Why so many women are under earners How men and women differ in the way they process financial information How to rewire our brains for financial success   Have you ever considered the biggest difference between the wealthy and the average household earner might be their mindsets?  While money shouldn’t be what you value the most, it can be a really great support system for whatever you value. But if all you know is the money struggle, that mindset shift can feel impossible. Well today we’re learning that problems with money are never about the money. So where do problems with money come from? And how do we  start to develop a wealth mindset? That’s what we’re talking about today.  Our guest is Barbara Huson. She is the leading authority on Women, Wealth & Power. She’s on a mission to revolutionize women’s relationship with money.  She says that most women’s problems with money have little to do with money itself, but rather with their fear of, or ambivalence toward, power. She’s going to teach us how to earn the money we deserve and build the wealth we desire.   Today we will learn: The healing power of presence, non-judgment, and affectionate touch How long it takes for oxytocin to release from touch How to hold someone for healing   Links: Show Notes: mindlove.com/171 Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes from your highest self!

We will learn: Some of the biggest traps that are stealing our time / making us time poor How we can analyze our time to find more of it How to build smart routines to make this a way of life There never seems to be enough time. Managing our time poorly has more consequences than just not getting as much stuff done. Time-poor people experience less joy each day. They laugh less. They are less healthy, less productive, AND more likely to divorce. In one study, time stress produced a stronger negative effect on happiness than unemployment. So what do we do about it? How do we reclaim our time to reduce stress and live a happier, more fulfilled life? Well, that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Ashley Whillans, the author of TIME SMART: How to Reclaim Your Time and Live a Happier Life.

For some, maybe you were laid off or your work structure looks different now. For others maybe this global crisis has caused you to re-evaluate some things. It can be terrifying! It’s already scary just watching the world change. But then trying to figure out where you fit in that world is an added layer. How do I even market myself? Is my experience relevant?

We will learn: What the mother wound is and what keeps it in place How to develop boundaries even if we never enforced them before How to heal by learning how to mother yourself Why is it that mother daughter relationships can be so complicated? Whether you had the worst mother daughter relationship or the typical conflicts, we all have these mother wounds, some just deeper than others. So the question becomes “how do  you let go?” How do you heal? That’s what we’re talking about today.  Our guest Bethany Webster. In 2013 she published an article entitled “Why it’s Crucial for Women to Heal the Mother Wound” based on a body of work she had been developing for 15 years. And overnight, the article went viral. Women around the world shared it on social media,  they discussed it with their friends, and it was referenced in new blogs and podcasts.  Before, thought leaders like Adrienne Rich and Christiane Northrup had touched on the concept of a Mother Wound, but no one had yet fleshed out exactly what the Mother Wound is and why it remains a universal experience of women the world over.  So Bethany made it her mission to really understand and define the Mother Wound and why and how it manifests.

We will learn: How to overcome feeling like your body is failing you Dealing with resentment in infertility How to release expectations when  you  want something so badly Deciding to start a family is a big decision.  It’s a decision that will completely change your life. But for many people, getting pregnant isn’t as easy as they’ve been led to believe in the movies. The truth is, about 1 in 8 couples have trouble getting pregnant. Also, the natural fertility rate is only about 20% per month for a healthy, fertile 30-year-old woman. That means that for every 100 fertile 30-year-old women trying to get pregnant in one cycle, 20 will be successful and the other 80 will have to try again. And even for those without fertility issues, it takes about 6 months to a year on average of trying to conceive to actually get pregnant. If you’re in the 12% that are still having trouble, then thankfully there are options. Nearly 90% of infertility cases are treatable with medical therapies.  So today I’m bringing on someone who has been through it all. Through her path to become a mom of five, Josephine went through the ups and downs with IVF, international adoption and surrogacy.  But as many struggles as she faced, also led her toward her purpose.  Our guest is Josephine Atluri is an expert in meditation and in overcoming adversity to find joy. Channeling her experience to find calm and courage through all of it, she now helps other people navigate life’s curveballs, through meditation training and her “Responding to Life” podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
