235. Ignite Your Vision

41m · Published 09 Aug 07:00

Think about the BIG moments that shaped your life.  Who are you because of that experience?
Now imagine doing that with your fullest attention, awareness, conscious intention and a team of like minded women who are there to support you and help you write the next chapter of your story, without apology?

It's beyond transformative. 
Add in a luxury retreat, the Pacific Ocean, miles of untouched beach, like minded women, embodiment, and the elements of a solar eclipse... The list goes on!

  • Cultivate community and create a sacred space for people to steep themselves in their vision. 
  • There is a wound of receiving the presence of others, being witnessed and being held. It is a safe container to explore and dream as big as you possibly can. 
  • The importance of being in the creative process in some capacity to know what you really want. 
  • The solar eclipse is a massive acceleration portal to get there faster and to create something brand new to ignite your vision. 
  • The power of sisterhood and retreats to give permission for what might feel completely illogical to come through and be fully seen and fully welcomed in by and witnessed. 
  • The alchemical container of retreats, how retreats are shaped and dependent on who is in the container. 
  • There is a calling for all of the people who are supposed to meet to meet. There is a force pulling us together, and it is something to contribute to the world and bring into relationships. 
  • You don't need to already have it all figured out. The only type of person who needs this is someone looking to connect with themselves and connect with sisterhood. 
  • When a place becomes a different culture and a different experience outside of the norm, there is an added layer of curiosity, getting outside of comfort zones and seeing how one fits in as a global citizen.

  • How societal norms have betrayed the sacred feminine, leading to the prevalence of drinking.
  • Shifting away from beliefs that create deprivation and embracing those that lead to liberation.
  • The importance of examining our beliefs and redefining our relationship with alcohol.

So if you've been curious about what it truly means to liberate yourself from the shackles of deprivation and align with your authentic self, this episode is for you. Share it with someone who can benefit from this journey of self-discovery and transformation. Let's awaken to a life beyond alcohol and embrace the freedom that comes with it.

Out of the head and into the body

20m · Published 19 Jul 07:00

The wait of alcohol lives in your head, natural sobriety lives in your body...it's your birth-rite. In this episode, I delve into the journey of natural sobriety and the profound impact of reconnecting with our bodies. I discuss how alcohol acts as a dissociative, pulling us away from our body's natural cues and sensations. By embracing natural sobriety, we can uncover the innate wisdom our bodies hold, guiding us towards what truly serves us. I share a personal experience of attuning to my dog's energy, grounding both of us, and experiencing a profound release of neuroses. Through this journey, I invite listeners to explore their body's wisdom, tap into their intuition, and make decisions aligned with their naturally sober selves.

Creativity In Sobriety

23m · Published 12 Jul 07:00

The biggest difference between deprivation and liberation is creativity.  Today, I delve into the profound connection between creativity and living an alcohol-free life. Sobriety has opened up a wellspring of creativity and cognitive abilities for me, allowing me to tap into a level of inspiration that was previously untapped. 

By removing alcohol from our lives, we can awaken our brains and experience a constant flow of new ideas and content creation. Sobriety is not a guarantee for everyone, but it has been a transformative experience for me personally. 

I explore the concept of the "alcohol brain" and how accepting the presence of an addictive neurotoxin is essential in our journey towards sobriety. Fostering a creative environment and embracing new perspectives can lead us to a naturally sober life filled with inspiration, personal growth, and meaningful experiences.

Sobriety opens up creativity. (2:08)

The intersection of belief and behavior. (4:03)

The importance of creativity in social media. (6:15)

Creativity comes in so many forms and forms. (8:49)

Creativity is a requirement for living a deprivation-free life. (10:37)

The process of going beyond alcohol. (12:41)

How to choose your naturally sober self. (19:44)

Introducing Beyond Alcohol 1:1 Coaching Mentorship: a solution that aligns with you personally.  End the exhaustion & the feeling of being stuck. Imagine the relief of support when you need it, over coming urges & managing your thinking. No more wasted time and money, this program is designed for your inevitable success.
