#68 ~ Manifest Your Desires

28m · Published 11 Oct 23:29

Have you ever looked for a new car? Let's say, it's a blue 4Runner. Maybe you do some online research and ask your friends about them. Then all of a sudden you notice blue 4Runners everywhere. Are there more 4Runners out there or are you noticing them because you are focusing on them?

Some people hear the words, manifest your desires, and think of waving a magic wand and getting whatever it is you desire.

I used to question why sitting around thinking about things or willing them to happen never worked. I would think, think, think and do nothing and wonder why other's seemed to be reaching or exceeding their dreams and mine didn't seem to be coming true.

Some people may have that gift of manifesting like described however, this is not my experience.

My experience with manifesting is it takes a whole lot of faith, work, desire, and letting go! Manifesting can take days, months, years of commitment, and practice. Manifesting isn't for the super-powered! It is for people with a strong desire to do the work necessary to achieve their goals and dreams. It can take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears along the way! It can also be the most beautiful thing you have ever experienced!

This Alaska Tracy Podcast Episode is about a recent manifestation in my life that has come to fruition. Disclaimer; it didn't happen overnight but over years. It has moved my heart and my soul to another level of Faith.

I recorded it at 4 am in Manzanillo, Mexico. I was woken to the most magnificent lightning storm dancing on the ocean outside my window.

My hope is that this episode provides you with hope. Hope to reach out to your desires, and goals. Hope to believe that you can live a life beyond your wildest dreams!

#67 ~ Change Your Handwriting Heal Your Life with Misty Cogdill

23m · Published 14 Sep 02:55

In this Alaska Tracy Podcast episode, I sit down with Misty Cogdill who is the founder and CEO of the Handwriting Soul Academy. As the number 1 best-selling author of the book “You Can Heal Your Life with Handwriting”, Misty has been studying the benefits of handwriting for over a decade.

Misty works with business owners, network marketers, entrepreneurs, coaches, speakers, and service professionals, or anyone who wants to increase their business and reach their goals. Using hypnosis through handwriting and the power of questions, Misty is able to extract her client’s full potential.

Prior to getting married, Misty had always wanted to teach others the importance of handwriting and help them change their handwriting techniques. Her mother had always wanted to change her handwriting, even when Misty was a little girl. Misty noticed this desire and began questioning the significance of handwriting and became fascinated with the relationship between handwriting and what it tells us about one’s inner self.

Misty explains that when you’re looking at handwriting in general, big and bubbly handwriting is an expression from the heart. Tiny and pointy handwriting is an expression of intellect. Handwriting is a graphic representation of our subconscious thought patterns and a map on paper of how we think internally.

After getting married, Misty felt this shift after changing her name. Your name is your identity and when you write it down or sign your name, you’re telling the universe that this is who you are. Gradually you become what you write down and you become reflected in your style of handwriting. When you get married, you take on a new name, with a new signature, and a new persona. Misty explains that when you shift the way you write, you shift your blockages. Making small adjustments with your handwriting can help you heal, grow and shift negative obstacles.

Reflecting on her own life and experiences, Misty was bubbly, extroverted, and had a huge passion for life. During her marriage, she became a new version of herself; someone with less energy, less drive, and was becoming more of an introvert. Misty questioned all of this, and could not figure out answers to where her old self had disappeared to. After 6 years of marriage, Misty got divorced and reclaimed her maiden name back. Of course, this came with the return of her old signature, and gradually, her old self. Within less than a year, Misty was on the path to becoming her familiar, bubbly self that she missed tremendously.

Moving on to work in real estate, Misty was able to see a plethora of signatures from various different clients when signing for homes. She used this as her own classroom for understating and analyzing people’s signatures and handwriting. Misty learned that certain letters of the alphabet can tell a lot about your personality. When we fall in love, get divorced, or survive a serious illness, we dramatically alter our concept of life. As a result of this, our handwriting changes. Changing the way letters are written can help us on our journey of self-development and changes within our lives and Misty has dedicated her life to experimenting and fact-finding these techniques.

Misty re-enforces this powerful message by going on to explain that changing your handwriting can help you get rid of old habits and limitations. These limitations can hold you back from the thing that you truly desire in life and Misty has now created a method of empowering people to clear these generational patterns. By shifting your handwriting, your old patterns are deconstructed and you let go of familiar patterns that may hold you back. Unlike other coaches, Misty is able to develop specific coaching to help you reach your goals by analyzing personality traits and blocks found in your handwriting.

Misty offers incredible coaching packages that inspire others to learn handwriting patterns that mirror their best traits, bringing their soul’s true potential to the surface. Misty’s number one best-selling book “You Can Heal Yourself with Handwriting” can be found on Amazon and you can also reach out via her Handwriting Soul Academy website. The Handwriting Soul Academy is on all social media platforms and there is a public Facebook group where Misty goes live twice a week. You can contact Misty via email at [email protected] to find out more about her offerings.

#66 ~ Speak Fearlessly with Carissa Karner

32m · Published 24 Aug 23:00

In this episode, I sit down and talk with Carissa Karner, an extraordinary, powerful speaker and coach based in California. Carissa helps purpose-driven professionals and entrepreneurs learn techniques on how to speak with authority, lead with their hearts and touch lives with their powerful messages.

As a certified Clinic-CoachÆ, a licensed psychotherapist, an actress with a plethora of experience on stage, a TEDx presenter and on the way to becoming a certified world-class speaking coach, she draws together a supply of tools that help you gain confidence when speaking in public.

Growing up in the mountains of Yosemite, Carissa was always a shy child. A self-confessed scared little girl, Carissa spent a lifetime hiding in fear of not being able to use her own voice or to be seen amongst the crowd. Excelling at dodgeball, Carissa was able to wear a “cloak of invisibility” to hide from whoever had the ball. This metaphoric situation was actually a representation of her childhood; always hiding from her true self. In 6th grade, Carissa found a passion for acting where she was able to be silly, bigger and louder. This was the first step in her realization that she was destined for a career on the stage and with an amazing teacher and family behind her for support, she was able to go on to pursue an acting degree.

Carissa carried this feeling of self-repression even into her acting career with a sense that she was using acting to ‘hide’ behind a character, using someone else’ words. Was she ever really being her true self or was this career another way of hiding behind something? Realizing that she may not be alone with this, Carissa knew that famous actors, professionals and entrepreneurs (whilst good at what they do) also possess feelings of fear and judgement. The fear of unearthing imperfections or being judged for not having it all together prompted Carissa to pursue a graduate degree in psychotherapy with the aim of helping others to speak fearlessly as themselves.

This shift towards a career in psychotherapy allowed Carissa to help those who may suffer from issues that hold them back in life such as imposter syndrome or stage fright. Drawing upon her childhood and early adult experiences, she knew that when you confidently use your voice anywhere it opens doors to be successful everywhere. By knowing what to say and how to say it effectively, Carissa can guide individuals to create mic dropping speeches that entice audiences but also perfectly showcase the best version of YOU.

Being on the other side of this ‘lack of self-confidence’ feeling has provided Carissa with the tools to help you feel calm, confident and prepared to use your voice in any situation. Feeling comfortable and confident when speaking will not only help drive your business, sales or personal growth but it will also produce visibility and self-assurance. Carissa knew that one-on-one therapy was still masking her true personal growth and it was another method of not being seen whilst listening to others speak instead. This safe behaviour was another guard that obstructed her ability to let her own voice be heard loud and clear.

After being invited to speak at a TEDx talk titled “The art of being your own best friend”, Carissa knew that this experience would prompt a shift in her own personal development. Guided by her own therapy, coaching and learning, Carissa learned how to accept her imperfections and embraced being human. After experiencing her TED talk, she started to think about moving beyond 1-2-1 therapy and onto the subject of helping others in a different way. Of course, that old faithful imposter syndrome made it hard for her to accept this shift at first, but over time Carissa knew that she had the skills and was worthy enough to help people with public speaking whilst boosting their confidence.

With the intention of touching people’s hearts and changing people’s lives, Carissa weaves all parts of her journey into helping others overcome fears and anxieties that surround speaking in public. By extracting her client’s goals or achievement plan she is able to understand and connect with them on a deeper level, providing them with a service tailored to suit their individual needs. It is evident that Carissa is client-centered and strives to make sure that people are showing up, speaking up, and knowing what to say and how to say it effectively.

Carissa has a toolbox of techniques that allows people to make deeper connections with their audiences and creates a space of dialogue, interaction, and engagement. Techniques such as a call to action, solidifying a beginning and an end when speaking, as well as tips on being a good listener, are all pointers that Carissa endorses to make your voice stand out from the crowd.

You can reach out to Carissa by emailing [email protected] or join her free Facebook community group ‘Fearless speakers in training’.
