Today I welcomed Dr. Shyamala Kiru. Shyamala is an ex-therapist turned Leadership Mentor, obsessed with the connection between our emotional intelligence and our capacity for success, both personally and professionally. She works with high-performance, female entrepreneurs and professionals who desire to master their emotional intelligence and unlock embodied leadership, so they can execute their mission at a whole new level.   Shyamala is also an author, podcaster, and mom who is based out of Toronto.  I personally feel this topic is not discussed enough and perhaps it is because people do not realize that it is possible to regulate your emotions. To have agency over how you think and act.   It is possible when you are willing to look at the underlying scripts and paradigms that you have going on in your head at any given time.   These habits of thought, beliefs, and ways of thinking are essentially hijacking your ability to choose your higher emotions; joy, guiltlessness, humor, vibrancy, liberation, energized or your lower emotions; guilt, shame, procrastination, rumination, and hopelessness.     Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://theeqcode.com/ https://www.instagram.com/theeqcode/

Today I welcome Shirlee Williams. More than 30 years ago Shirlee found herself on a yoga mat breathing deeper than she had ever had before. From that moment on, Shirlee knew things would be different. Curiosity led her down a spiritual path of yoga, meditation, and entrepreneurship. She ran a brick-and-mortar yoga studio for 14 years. In the last few years, Shirlee has transitioned to the online space. Shirlee believes that combining life coaching and yoga is the key to empowerment.   When we bring the unconscious conscious and embody it with movement, breath, and meditation we can align to what it is we truly desire. She is the host of her own podcast called Becoming - real conversations for living an unapologetic life, as well as a variety of online programs to help guide you to your most extraordinary life.

In today’s solo episode, I discuss the concept of worthiness. Many people lack self-worth and to me, it is the foundation of success.  I think we all have moments where we feel a sense of lack, doubt, and unworthiness. Fear is common, and fear often translates to feelings of lack, so perhaps it might be helpful to ask yourself “ What am I fearing?” or “Would I act differently if I knew I wouldn’t make a mistake?” Fact be told, success comes from acting with fear. Success comes from having trust in yourself, and faith in your abilities, without evidence of knowing you will be successful. If you do this repeatedly in life, you will likely make mistakes, you will likely fail at times, but you WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. When it is all said and done, no one remembers your mistakes, not even you!  You will look back and wonder how to do it until you wonder how you did it. I credit Melanie Ann Layer for teaching me this.  Get creative when deciding what you want. What does success mean to you? Use your imagination to envision your dream. I define imagination as dreaming with intention. Imagine it until it becomes your reality. Be intentional with your thoughts and desires.  That is what success means to me.    Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXOqxxLnT_j5N-30ii6JgQw https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/  

I wanted to share a simple story with you of a woman I met in Tuscany. Martine Janta-Polczynsk invited us over for a beautiful dinner one evening. The view from her home was gorgeous and her energy was equally as attractive. If you want to see some images of that evening with Martine, be sure to visit my Instagram page. I just connected so well with Martine because I could tell she was a woman that embodies her spirit and leads her life from her desires, rather than toward her desires. One cannot just ‘think’ of what they want, they need to ‘be’ what they want before they experience it. For example, Martine needed to act as if she already had what she desired in order to have what she longed for…this is also so true in terms of attracting your soul mate. Begin to ‘be’ what you desire in your soulmate, rather than ‘naming’ what you want. Embody the energy of what you so long for in your life, and it will come to you. It is law! Enjoy.   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/  

This interview with Kristina came at the perfect time as I am about to hold a Masterclass on the topic Should I Stay or Should I Go. Separation and divorce are known to be one of life’s top three stressors, but it doesn’t necessarily need to continue that way. The pain can be temporary and Kristina Rizzo’s interview shows us this. Not all divorces need to be nasty and divisive. Changing your perspective on past experiences can change how you lead your future life.   Relevant Links | Social Media: https://luellajonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/luellajonk/ https://www.facebook.com/xtinarizzo
