Mind Love: Modern Mindfulness For Happiness, Health And Success

Ep. 069: Today we're going back to a topic that we've covered before: ayurveda, but whereas the last episode focused more on the health and wellness aspect of ayurveda, we're going to make it a little bit more applicable to today's world and learn how to use it to crush your goals.Ayurveda is the world's oldest holistic healing system developed over 3000 years ago in India, and it's based on the belief that health and wellness depend on the delicate balance between mind body and spirit. So really, everything is connected. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means the science of life.Today we're learning how we can use ayurveda for living our purpose, actually following through on those goals, and overcoming some of the most common things that hold us back according to our different doshas, or our mind-body types.Today will be really fun because you'll be able to figure out what Dosha you are, and how it affects how you tackle your goals or interact with the world. Then how to use different principles of ayurveda to counter

Episode 068: Today, we’re talking about releasing shame. I think we all have something from our past that we’re not totally proud of. Maybe even something from our present.I have a ton. Part of it is that I have an addictive personality. So there have been so many periods in my life where my behaviors took on an energy of their own and I felt like I lost control.Todays episode has a lot of sensitive topics so if you have little ones around or you yourself are sensitive to topics like sex work and masturbation, I recommend you pick one of the many other episodes.But I feel this topic is much needed because there are a lot of common human things that we wrap in judgment and shame and I would like to be one of the people shining love on those topics to help release the collective shame.Today we talk to Sydney Campos.She is a fellow wild woman with a wild story, transcending 10 years of drug and alcohol abuse and sex work. Through truth and vulnerability, only a few years later, she was serving her souls mission

Episode 067: Have you ever been cheated on or found out your partner was unfaithful?. You can’t see me, but my hand is up.Infidelity is unfaithfulness in a marriage or relationship. It can severely strain a relationship and the people involved. An affair can leave the other person feeling devastated, alone, betrayed, and confused. Sometimes, an affair ends a relationship. Other times, couples can repair the relationship. Being cheated on was a special kind of pain for me that affected my self-worth, and my ability to trust in future relationships.Our guest today is Jen Esquer, aka docjenfit. She’s generally known for something completely different than our topic of infidelity today. She is a doctor in physical therapy with a mission to heal the world by empowering people to learn how to heal themselves!But her core mission is also relevant here.I was inspired by her openness in sharing her experience with infidelity and so were a ton of other people. And through her sharing her story, she’s helped even more p

Episode 066: For years, I felt like I was coasting. I felt stuck.All the books said I had to take a leap. I had make some risky moves and essentially start over to find something more fulfilling.At the time, taking that leap sounded scarier than being in a miserable “stable” job.So how did I get from stuck in the mud to leaping, arms flailing into my passion? How does anyone?That’s what we’re talking about today.Our guest today is Laura Gassner Otting. She teaches you how to ignore the rules that create your limits, align your energies and your actions, and do work that really matters so that you can live your best life.

Laura brings both tough love and wisdom and will help you see what it really takes to get out of your own way and find success.Today we will learn: How we limit ourselves, and where those limits come from The first steps to getting unstuck How to make bold moves to accelerate your success Show Note

The root of all of my positive changes has been awareness. Awareness helps us zoom out to see all the programs we’ve been running on autopilot – bad habits, learned behaviors, emotional addictions – and from that awareness, we can start to make a change.At the very basic level, awareness is important because, how can we identify what needs to change, if we’re not aware of it in the first place.Awareness works like a muscle. You have to build it up.Today we’re talking about how to open ourselves up to deeper levels of awareness, and not just for our own benefit but for humanity as a whole. In the deepest levels of awareness, we start to experience oneness – or that invisible realm of support, love and inspiration that’s always available to us.Our guest today is Best-selling author and international speaker Gary Douglas. He’s known for his intensity of awareness and his incredible capacity to open people up to ‘know what they know’. He chooses to embody consciousness in everything that he does which inspires ot

Ep 064: Today we’re talking about animals communication and then, you’ll actually hear a portion of an animal communication session with my little fur soulmate Maverick Danger. 68% of US households own a pet so let's learn to talk to them!This whole process was another amazing example of how the universe works, because normally my little guy is just a ball of energy… but the day before the interview was supposed to happen, suddenly Maverick had an emergency. So I had to rush him to the vet and everything. I’ll get into details in the episode but it was perfect timing to feel as though I had a more direct line of communication with him.But even more comforting are some of the things I learned in this interview.I've often had worries about when it's my pet's time to pass, will he know what’s happening when his body is shutting down, will he be scared, will we still have a soul connection? Today we answer all of those questions.Our guest is Morgan Mellick, an Animal Communicator, Certified Akashic Records Practi

Ep 063: Today’s episode is about a practical way to create new habits, and break old ones.We’re talking about weight loss… and I don’t love that word choice because I think we get too. Caught up on the scale, but I termed it that because I know that’s what a big portion of us, especially women these days are looking for.But as you’ll hear in this episode, the problem is rarely our knowledge on what is and is not good for us. It’s our mindsets around creating change, and our emotions and even hormones that tend to get in our way.And after my yoga incident this week, it’s the perfect time for me to bring a little more awareness to my own routines.Our guest today is Elizabeth Benton, the creator of Primal Potential.It wasn't that long ago that Elizabeth Benton was depressed, deeply in debt, and obese… over 350 pounds.Her deepest desire was to lose weight to get her life back. Even just to get around without losing her breath after a few steps.she realized that if what she wanted more than anything was to lose we

Ep 062: Today’s story pulls at my heart strings… and I think it’s because I love my marriage so much.Today’s guest is Kristine Carlson. For the boomers out there, you might recognize her husband Richard Carlson as the creator of the series Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. He wrote ~ 30 books and these books have sold over 15 million copies worldwide.Richard was the face of the brand, even though Kristine co-authored a few of them with him. But for the most part, Kristine was his supporting character. She ran the household while he ran the brand.And then, one day totally unexpectedly, he died.And as hard and as tragic as that was, it forced Kristine to step into her own power and take over the legacy.What I love about this story though is most often I hear of people hitting a rock bottom and that’s what forces them to seek and to develop and be more than they were…But in her story, it’s really interesting to hear how someone handles their pain when they already have such a solid foundation built in their mindset.B

Ep 061: Relationships are complicated. It’s hard enough to deal with our own stuff, and then we intermingle our lives so deeply with another human… and we have zero training and wonder why the divorce rate is so high. As humans, most of us yearn for fulfilling relationships. They provide unlimited ways for us to learn, grow, thrive, and have fun!Yet, as we know, relationships aren’t always a “bed of roses”–especially romantic ones. They don’t make themselves, nor do they continue happily on autopilot once they begin.So let’s dive into the secrets of healthy, happy relationships.I’m very excited about this one.Our guest today is someone who has been on my guest bucket list. Her book Warrior Goddess Training spoke to me years ago.Her name is HeatherAsh Amara – the author of the the best-seller Warrior Goddess Training, the The Warrior Goddess Way, and The Toltec Path of Transformation: Embracing the Four Elements of Change.

They trigger sleeping parts of your consciousness.This week and next will be about relationships.If you’re not in one, don’t worry because it’s not just about being in a couple, or a triad or poly or whatever tickles your soft parts.It’s about how we learn and grow from our interactions with other sentient beings.So today I we are talking to spiritual teacher Guy Finley.

It’s New Years day and I know people like you have resolutions.80% of New Years resolutions daily by February and only 8% of people actually achieve their resolution so today we’re going to make sure that you are in that 8%.My whole life I have loved resolutions. I’d write these big lists of things I’ve always wanted to do, places I wanted to go, things I wanted to learn. And I’d get in about a week and then they’d just completely fade away.Last year everything changed, and the one thing I did differently was addressing my limiting beliefs or mindset blocks.

The human body is miraculous. It's easy to become discouraged with the rise of cancer and heart disease… but think about it.Most of the population barely moves their bodies, the products we use are full of toxic chemicals, the food we eat is processed with GMOs, sprayed with pesticides, and pumped with hormones and antibiotics...When you put in perspective how much your body has to fight off based on your current lifestyle, it’s a miracle we’re alive to see another day. And then, our body screams for help through symptoms and aches and pains and we cover it up with meds.So if our bodies can do all this for survival, constantly, what else is it capable of?Today we are furthering our work on breaking free of the mental matrix that is our medical system and getting into some biohacking.We’re learning about breathwork. Breathing is our life-force I’m beginning to realize that breathwork may be one of the most powerful things we can do to supercharge our strength, our health, and our life. The yogis have known for

Ep 055: Relationships are deeply woven into our experience on this planet. From the day we are born, we’re completely dependent on someone else.You’ve probably heard that our relationships are mirrors. I’ve always thought of this as a way of saying: How you see other people is a reflection of how you see yourself.But at another angle, your relationships with other people are your opportunity to experience yourself and to grow. When you’re in it, the growth can be hard to see. It’s actually most often in hindsight that we realize what we learned. But the more you shift your mindset to awareness in your relationships, you start to experience it in real time.Our guest today is Bryanna Dee and she understands what it feels like to let her relationships define her life. From a difficult childhood and a complicated relationship with her parents, to traumatic breakup.She was so concerned with trying to be the person she thought she was supposed to be that she was totally disconnected from herself, and as a result, a

Ep 054: A spiritual awakening is like an expanding of consciousness. Your perceptions wake up a little. You don’t perceive reality in the same way. Spiritual awakenings lead to higher states of consciousness, a deeper sense of intuition and a greater connection with spirit. For some people, their spiritual awakenings come with spiritual gifts and they can be triggered by almost anything. And sometimes it takes something so painful that it completely shatters the ego.That is the case for our guest today. Alyson Charles, a world-renowned television host, speaker and spiritual teacher, was blasted into an awakening through a traumatic moment. A betrayal actually that left her clairaudient.

Ep 053: If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you’ve probably had that burning desire to have one last day with them.Regrets are brutal. But what of when someone passes, communication doesn’t have to end? What if someone could help you bridge the gap between the physical world and the spirit world…. What if you could even do it yourself?Today is going to be interesting. We’re not only going to talk to a medium and answer all of the most common questions people have about mediumship and communicating with the dead, we’re also going to be doing a mini reading, and possibly talk to my dead grandma.Be prepared, I get a little emotional.

Ep 052: When we’re young, we tend to think the path to success is straight and clear. We get good grades, maybe go to a good college, get a good job and slowly work our way up the corporate ladder. But in reality, life is full of twists and turns.What we’re doing now may not even be in the same category as the legacy we eventually leave. If you would have told me in high school that in 15 years I would be the host of a podcast helping people to realize the power of their mindsets, I would have been flattered but pretty sure you had the wrong girl.But it is interesting that even before when I honestly had no idea what my purpose was and still somehow there’s this perfect little breadcrumb trail of the value I can offer right now.Our guest today understands this completely. Jessica Honegger has done everything from midwifery in Bolivia, to getting a Masters in Education, to flipping homes in Austin, Texas. It’s only in reflecting back does she see the common thread… which was a desire to find way s to create me

Ep 051: Did you know that 70% of people who win the lottery or come into large sums of money end up broke?There’s an audiobook called The Power of Ambition by Jim Rohn that says “If someone hands you a million dollars, best you become a millionaire so you can keep the money. If you don’t grow to where your income is, then guess what, your income shrinks to where you are. Become a millionaire not for the million dollars, but for what it will make of you to achieve it.”The biggest thing that gets in our own way is our own mindset about money. And even moreso, our belief systems about what we’re truly worth.Today we’re talking to Ashley Stahl. A couple years ago, Ashley thought she’d made it. She struck it rich in online business. In her late twenties, she had managed to make over 5 million dollars in just a few months, selling an online course. Then she lost it all… and then some. She actually went in debt. What it really came down to was worthiness and what she felt she deserved.Today we will learn: Limiting b

Ep 050: The chakras are your energy centers. The entire universe is made up of energy and as you scale things down its almost as though you have a smaller universe within you.In a healthy, balanced person, the 7 chakras provide exactly the right amount of energy to every part of your body, mind and spirit. But, if one of your chakras is too open and spinning too quickly, or if it is too closed and moving slowly, both your physical and mental health can suffer.By learning about the 7 chakras, you can start to heal physical, emotional and spiritual imbalances. And you can become more in tune with the natural energy cycles of your body It’s like the spiritual science they don’t teach you in schools.Did you know you can even tell if people have a chakra imbalance by their posture and the way they hold their bodies? I’m so excited about this episode because this is the most fun I’ve ever had learning about chakras.Today our guest is Dr. Athena Perrakis. She is the Founder and SEO of Sage Goddess, the world’s large
