This solo episode was recorded with lots of heart and the intention of helping you to better understand the toxic effects of judgment and the healing elixir of forgiveness and connection. Really this is about how to stop judging yourself (you know who you are) and giving yourself the grace and space to be on the human journey here to learn and grow from all experiences. If you prefer a visual version, do check my episode out on YouTube, where all episodes are posted.) The Surprising Effects of Judgment *Judgment is one of the most toxic chemicals. Take time for a sacred pause to feel to heal, and let go of judgment of yourself. * Share authentically with someone you trust whatever is most uncomfortable. Don't let judgment of yourself get in the way. * Doing an inventory of stored up feelings like anger, resentment and frustration is an excellent way to give space to what's going on below the surface. The important part is not to judge yourself or any feeling that emerges. All is well. * The healing will happen in your feeling and in revealing how you feel. *The ego lives in fear and judgment. You and I are either in fear or love. * The acronyms to remember: EGO (Edging God Out) and FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) The Power of Forgiveness * We are all made of energy. Unexpressed emotions remain as stored up energy in your cells and can lead to deeper frustration, resentment, stress, despair and even illness. * Forgiveness, first for yourself, and then for others, is a powerful way to change your own internal energy. * Look for the bigger picture and a wider lens of whatever is needing your forgiveness. Imagine your listening to a friend tell you what you are working on forgiving yourself for. Extend the same grace you'd give a friend, to yourself. * Warning: The act of forgiving yourself (and others) will change your life. Enjoying the show?

Heather Chauvin is a leadership coach and strategic parenting expert who helps ambitious women become leaders at work and home. Drawing from her professional experience as a social worker and her life experience raising three boys, Heather created a signature approach to focus her clients on sustainability, profitability and ease in business and life. She is the host of the Mom Is In Control Podcast where she reveals her most vulnerable truths about womanhood, marriage, parenting, living through stage 4 cancer and running a successful business—without burning out. Heather has been featured as a TEDx speaker and on The OWN Network, CTV, and The Jenny McCarthy Show. She has also appeared in Entrepreneur and Real Simple. When Heather isn't being a classic Canadian by driving her boys to hockey practice, you'll find her curled up on the couch with her husband surfing the internet, researching their next family adventure. Heather shared her very vulnerable and frightening story, which ended up being a clear lesson in her life. She learned to listen to that tiny small voice and to trust yourself. Other powerful take-aways were: What you resist, will persist. Rather than avoiding resistance, move into and through it. What helped Heather to heal on all levels was to start with the question, 'How do you want to feel?" She referenced Danielle LaPorte's Desire Map work and found the questions: 'What do you want, What do you need and What do you desire?' will always guide you towards your highest self. Managing your energy and learning energetic time management is key. Learn to tune into the energy you need in that moment. Start somewhere and keep reinvesting in yourself. Do this by putting yourself on the calendar. Schedule reset and space on the calendar first. If you're not learning, you're done. Trust yourself and trust those whispers. Loved this quote from Heather, "We're priceless beings, we're all valuable. Period.'

Bob Roth is one of the most experienced and sought-after meditation leaders in America. Over the past 45 years, Bob has taught Transcendental Meditation to many thousands of people, and is the author of the 2018 New York Times bestseller, "Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation." As CEO of the David Lynch Foundation Bob has helped bring meditation to more than a million students in underserved schools in 35 countries, to military veterans and their families who suffer from post-traumatic stress, and to women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. Bob also directs the Center for Health & Wellness, which is bringing meditation to companies, government organizations, and nonprofit organizations. Bob is the host of the SiriusXM radio show, "Success Without Stress" and has spoken about meditation to industry leaders at such gatherings as Google Zeitgeist, Aspen Ideas Festival, Aspen Brain Conference, Wisdom 2.0, and Summit. I have been meditating with Bob since this past summer of 2020 and was amazed by his calming energy, daily commitment to provide free Transcendental Meditation (TM in short) for all those who wanted to meditate (and twice a day!) and kindness. His energy reminded me of a modern day Mr. Rogers and for the first time, I stopped feeling badly that I couldn't stop my thoughts. In fact, this is where I learned through constant reminders to easily and effortlessly use my mantra and allow any thoughts without resistance. When I reached out, Bob answered immediately (not typical for someone in a busy, high profile position) and said he'd love to do an interview about his journey and the life changing effects of meditation. Below are some of the high points from that conversation. If you would like to try the daily TM meditation, I have listed the link below. The daily sessions are free, held at 7 am, 8:30 am and 6:00 pm EST, and open to anyone. Being your You-est You is about following the light of truth from within and connecting to your own inner light (I loved Bob's definition). This is a powerful time to go deeper within and find your most truthful you. Everyone is feeling the uncertainty during this pandemic. Uncertainty is one of the biggest causes of stress because the brain wants to keep things certain. We're definitely in unchartered territory and in need of staying calm more than ever. Research of TM has shown that it creates profound healing as it allows the limbic system to release stress and for knots of trauma to release. TM has been used with veterans, those on the front line of duty such as firefighters, police officers and medical professionals, and others overcoming serious trauma to help alleviate massive amounts of stress. Bob suggests treating TM as a medical intervention. The benefits of TM and meditation in general is likened to the ocean where you might have choppy and large waves on the surface, but deeper down it is calm, quiet and serene. The more you meditate, the more your mind becomes like the bottom of the ocean. These deeper levels are more satisfying and given the opportunity, the mind will always be drawn to something more kind. It is in this quieter, lovely place you can meet your own inner-self, with kindness. Some misconceptions about meditation are that your thoughts are supposed to stop. Bob shares that the brain never stops, rather it's about accessing thoughts from a more peaceful and settled place. The mind and body are not separate, as many of us think. They are one. There are profound physiological benefits to being in the restful state of meditation as it allows for your body to heal. I asked Bob what his brightest hope is for the future and the legacy he wishes to leave. He shared that his aim is for humanity to get the normalcy of enlightenment --- that enlightenment is for any human being, regardless of background, religion, spiritual orientation or anything else. He is most passionate about restoring the highest human values on the planet; humility, service, kindness, energy, strength and wisdom. If you're called to watch this on YouTube (LINK!!!!!!!!!!!), you can see Bob and my interview there as well.

This solo episode was recorded with lots of heart and the intention of helping you raise what I'm calling your Prosperity Quotient, or PQ. Really this is about overcoming feelings of lack, struggles with worthiness and not good enough, as it relates to your money, finances and overall feeling of prosperity. If you prefer a visual version, do check my episode out on YouTube, where all episodes are posted. Some of the takeaways from this episode are: The root of all lack consciousness and fear or discomfort with prosperity comes from a lack of worthiness. I'm here to remind you that you are worthy for no other reason then you are a human being. You do not need to prove your worthiness nor is it something that fluctuates. What you appreciate, appreciates. By focusing on where and how you do feel prosperous will help call forth more prosperity. Not sure this is true? Try doing this for a week and see what happens. Like you, money is energy. How you feel about this energy has everything to do with the money and prosperity you are attracting or repelling. The great news is that all of this can be changed with focused intention and attention. If you struggle with underarning, self-debting or discomfort charging for your services, I highly recommend the books Money A Love Story, by Kate Northrup, Overcoming Underearning and Sacred Success, by Barbara Stanny (coming soon on this podcast) and It's Not Your Money, by Tosha Silver. If i can support you at all on your prosperity journey, please reach out anytime. It is my intention to be part of the cosmic shift around prosperity, worthiness and helping us all to claim our natural abundance. As always, this community is a sacred and safe space for you to evolve and expand in to your highest self. Please share your insights, wisdom, comments, thoughts and anything you are pondering or even grappling with. I love hearing from you and learning how you are being your truest, you-est you.

Lucy Shahjahan is a love coach who works with women globally. Growing up in Sydney, Australia, Lucy has always had a taste for adventure; from working on a pearling boat after she left school, to tending bars through her late teens, a ski instructor in Whistler, to a 'real job' as a creative in the Advertising industry, not to mention her time as a radio host. Lucy has always been a people person. Her smile brightens up any room and her laugh is infectious. At the age of 31 she moved to New York City to follow her dream of acting. She worked in film and theater, loving every second of being on stage, but after performing her one woman show off-Broadway playing Hillary Clinton, she knew there was a deeper calling inside her. That's when she took the plunge and started her business teaching women how to be their own soulmate so they can attract love and live their best life. Lucy's personal journey inspired her to create her signature program that helps women heal at a soul level from low self-worth, trauma, abandonment, disbelief and major lack of trust so that they can attract their soulmate and thrive in every area of their life. After years of continued success with her signature online program, Lucy realized the time was right to pen her first book, I'm Done, to share her process with millions of women around the world. Let Go of Self-Doubt This was really a conversation about following your heart, no matter how far it takes you, and listening to those dark nights of your soul as a real wake up call to live in the light. Lucy shared her concept of being your You-est You as everything just falling into place when we stay true to who we are. After stripping back the layers and conditioning is where you'll find what's yours and what's not, and who you are and who you're not. It's easy to get caught in a web of who you think you should be. We talked about how to stay clear of that false alluring web that will never provide what you're really looking for. Don't just sit on your gifts and magic Lucy shares how she left her perfect life and job, on paper, quit her job, left Australia and packed up to go to NYC. After her massive wake up call at 31, she realized it was time to get out of her own way and start living on the edge of her heart. She got 'all in with her dream' and was clear what she was asking the Universe. Here's the question that changed everything: What Do You Desire? She asked herself, "What do you really want?" Then she listened and stopped outsourcing other's opinions. She finally said "I'm Done" and had the willingness to step into her bigness. Being done is a powerful gift. So, dear listener, What do you really want? What are you done with so that you can make space for something greater? Do share with me and our soul family in the You-est You Facebook Community for Soul Seekers. We'd love to hold the space for you to step into your fullest self- expression. I think it's time we all start doing this, and just know we've all got your back (and front). Enjoying the show?

Amanda Walker is a health and life coach who helps women push passed misguided beliefs to feel amazing naked. She is the creator of the Feel Amazing Naked Program and the Feel Amazing Naked Podcast. Amanda has now guided thousands of women to conquer the fear and confusion that was once keeping them stuck. Amanda uses a "WHOLE"istic, no B.S., approach to coaching and blends strategy, skill, and mindset to help clients unearth the root causes of their struggles with food, body, and mind to help them create the life they crave. We talked a lot about what it means to feel amazing in your skin -- both on the inside and out. This is not about getting to a certain size or weight, it's about feeling whole, connected and in harmony with your body, mind and soul. Some of my favorite take-aways from this episode: Amanda shared that you don't have to have a business degree to be successful in your business, you just need a heart. This is especially powerful for those of you considering the entrepreneurial route. Don't look at your behaviors and actions as the root of your results, look at your thoughts. Your thoughts create your feelings, which create your actions. Feelings are short term -- be mindful not to let them dictate or overtake where you want to go. Find joy in your growth process as this 'now moment' is really what's most important and what will drive you to the future you desire.

Dr. Betty Sue received her naturopath degree from the School of Natural Medicine in Boulder, CO before she retired as an instructor at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Upon her retirement, she soon began practicing Naturopathic Medicine in Biloxi, MS, where she shared an office with a Physical Therapist; later, she opened a health food store. Even though these venues offered many outlets for teaching self care, she wanted to educate more people to be self actualized and fully in charge of their own health outcomes; it is this desire that lead her to becoming a Diplomat Instructor for the International Iridology Practitioners' Association. Looking for an online format for her classes, led her to a joint partnership with Dr. Wanda Seitz, of Myrtle Beach, NC in SINH – the Southern Institute of Natural Health. She is elated to bring the therapies and practice of naturopathy to her students: current, past and present. Dr. Betty Sue has five books: Six Weeks to a Healthy Lifestyle Going Green…The Smoothie Way Causations: Using Iridology to Clarify Sclerology Iridology: The Core Curriculum * Healthy Substitutions For Foods We Love To Eat We discussed so much about the wisdom that's embedded in our body - in our eyes, teeth, tongue, ears and everywhere really. It means getting a bit more still, taking time to tune in and incorporating some of these amazing tips to live with more energy, health and wellbeing. First off, iridology (for those of you who weren't sure) is the mapping of the iris to better understand your health. The eyes are the window to the brain and your health. Some of Dr. Betty Sue's healthy lifestyle suggestions (her top 10 is found in her book, Six Weeks To a Healthy Lifestyle) Stimulate your skin and lymph system every day. Brush your skin with a brush and then rub it with coconut or avocado oil before you bathe. Bounce for at least 60 seconds every day to stimulate your lymph system Scrape your tongue every day, ideally with a metal tongue scraper (getting mine now) :) Take quiet time every day, pause and breathe in your belly Put your feet above your head every day for at least 5 minutes. This helps with your drainage and circulation.

Dr. Whitaker is the Interim CEO at Greater Nashua Mental Health. She is dually licensed as both a psychologist and a master licensed alcohol and drug counselor. She is a strong advocate of social justice and is passionate about increasing access to mental health services for all. She is fluent in American Sign Language and continues to be involved in advocating for and providing training about mental health services for individuals who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing, as well as teaching and training about various other topics related to behavioral health. She is known for her engaging and motivating style of leading and training that inspires individuals and groups to connect with their strengths and reach their potential. Dr. Whitaker shared about the power of feeling to heal and how trying to carry on and cover up your emotions only leads to further breakdowns. She shared about her own breakdown and personal story of being in a car crash and later suffering from PTSD. It was a challenge for her to admit she needed help as she always felt that the healer shouldn't need healing. This experience ended up being one of the most important learnings and built a new kind of empathy she had never experienced. Dr. Whitaker explains ways to feel the emotions we often want to numb out. For many, addiction (be it alcohol, food, shopping, sex or even social media) is really a way to try and self-sooth and cover up feelings that are uncomfortable and overwhelming. Here are some tips to feel to heal: Acknowledge how you're feeling, without judgment, and get out of hiding Feelings are normal - ALL of them. You can't appreciate positive feelings without negative feelings. Feelings are indicators, not dictators. Pay attention to your feelings but don't let them dictate what you do. Feel into how you want to respond and use your intuition and inner wisdom. Meditation and stillness will give you the ability to better choose your response. Above all, show yourself compassion and suspend judgment about yourself, your feelings and others. The 3 C's of Staying Sane: Community (not isolating) Compassion (suspending judgment) Carry on (keep calm, carry on) In other words, don't cower, or cover but keep going through the feelings and get to the core of who you are. Ask yourself, "What can I do today" and then look at the gap between who you are and who you want to be. Look at who I need to be to be the person I desire. What are my strengths and how can I tap into them today? Remember, you are not alone and we're all in this together. No one has to suffer in silence or secrecy. Speak up, find a trusted person and be compassionate to yourself.

Dr. Tornatore received a Master's degree at the University of Illinois and a PhD at the University of Minnesota. She has authored over 20 articles and recently published a book—Everything is Perfect, Just Not ME! A Roadmap for Self-Acceptance. You can find out more about Dr. Jane at www.everydaylove.me We talked a lot about overcoming perfectionism, self judgment, overcoming fears and how this can improve your health. All of Dr. Jane's tools and strategies are practical and easy to apply. Some of the key take-aways are: Love yourself now, you don't have to wait. Stress shuts down the brain while self care is an act of self love A few ways to stop the stress in your body and mind is by changing the words you use. Dr. Jane calls this the 'Ban These Words' exercise, where you ban these words: should, must, have to, need and 'gotta'. Instead replace them with "it's a good idea", "it would be helpful" or if it's something you are actually interested and excited about, you might say "I'd like to" or "I want to". You want to use words that will motivate you not cause more stress. A quick way to determine whether you should worry about something or not is using the Circle of Power and Victim tool, adapted from Steven Covey's Circle of Influence. The inner circle stands for 'power', which is everything you have power and control over such as your thoughts, behaviors and actions. Anything in the outer circle is considered the Victim realm, which has to do with anything you don't have control over like other's actions, circumstances, the weather, etc. By focusing on your own power and what you can do in the present moment, which might be to breathe and pause, you reclaim a sense of empowerment and take the brain out of fight or flight. A take on a gratitude practice is to wake up and for a good 30 seconds feel the gratitude, don't just list it out. Do this before bed in reviewing the day and you can help your brain sort memories in a new positive filing system, of sorts. You can't be judgmental and curious at the same time. Any time you want to change your state or get out of judgment, go into curiosity and ask questions that help you to seek new ideas and solutions.
