Are you ready to transform fear into excitement and find true inner peace? Embrace fear as a signpost for growth? Learn how to release those things that trigger you?Hear Lauren Abrams and Lisa McCourt discuss embracing fear as a signal for potential growth and change. Learn how to shift your mindset from fear to excitement and allow it to guide you toward your most fulfilling life. Discover the profound difference between conditioned wants and soul wants, and how aligning your actions with your true desires can bring unparalleled joy.

"That fear means that, oh, there's something potentially big and juicy in front of me here." - Lisa (15:06)

“Emotion is meant to flow through us and be released. And when we have traumatic situations or little traumas, it doesn't have to be what we think of as traumas.” -Lisa (8:46)

Uncover techniques for managing emotional triggers and practicing self-compassion to release stored emotional pain.

“When we have these triggers happen, the tendency is to tense up either our physical bodies or just our energetic body. And usually, you can feel somewhere in your physical body got tense, whether your brow is furrowed or your shoulders. So then it's just relaxing your whole physical body when you have the ability to do this in the moment.” - Lisa (10:07)

Discover from Lisa how adding mindfulness and meditation into your everyday routine can help you see things differently and experience general emotional development.

“It's giving yourself compassion around your anxiety. We compound everything. We feel anxiety, and then we get mad at ourselves for feeling anxiety, or we feel, you know, like annoyed or stressed. And then it's like, what do you have to be stressed about? You should be so good. You know, it's like we compound it by judging ourselves for our negative emotions.” - Lisa (13:19)

Find out the deep insights Lisa shares as she explores how these transformational strategies act as triggers for you to re-establish a deep connection with yourself. Learn more about how mindfulness and meditation help you distinguish between the critical and loving voices inside of you.

“Our negative emotions are just human. They're beautiful, and they're there because of something that took place. And it's okay. And we just have to love ourselves through it.” - Lisa (13:34)

The Path to True Happiness: "We have to learn how to have the peace, the joy, the calm in our inner landscape, and then that energy goes out and so effortlessly starts changing everything in our external landscape." - Lisa (16:50)

One of the standout segments in this episode is Lisa’s advice on discerning between conditioned wants and what your soul truly desires. This guidance is a game-changer for anyone feeling unfulfilled, despite ticking off all the metaphorical boxes of success. Lisa passionately emphasizes aligning your actions with what genuinely brings you fulfillment.

“It's really just, again, getting some discernment between the voices in our head like that super loud voice of our inner critic and that ticker tape that's constantly going by. We have to be able to quiet that to hear the little bit more sensitive, delicate voice behind it.” - Lisa (20:30)

Learn self-compassion techniques. Be gentle with yourself. Recognize and release negative thoughts, and practice self-compassion to overcome past conditioning and emotional pain.

“Hear the voice in your head, take some distance to, to watch the thoughts that are going by. We bring so much additional interior muck into our worlds with that voice in our heads, which goes on to create all these problems that we have out here. The whole game of whack a mole could basically be avoided if we would learn to be more compassionate with ourselves and not let our thoughts take us down all these dark roads.” - Lisa (27:55)

“I think the biggest aspect of hope comes in when we don't believe that we are stuck and suddenly when we can say, I feel stuck. That's different than saying I am stuck. (Becky, (27:24).

When Becky Vollmer felt stuch and finally took that leap of faith, jumped, then figured out what she really wanted to do with her life, then listened to her inner voice, she’s made it her mission to help you do the same. She’s helped 1000’s get “unstuck” and helps you, too, on this episode!

How does Becky help people get unstuck? She empowers them to realize that they don't need external validation to make a change. Many of us feel disempowered, lacking the agency to make our own choices. Learn how to reclaim your power and create a life that resonates with your true desires.

"I help them see that they don't need anybody else's permission to make a change " – Becky (11:12).

As a yoga teacher, Becky experienced firsthand the transformative power of this ancient practice. Yoga was her sanctuary during a tumultuous time, offering not just physical and mental benefits but also a spiritual awakening. It taught her to control her body, breath, and mind, leading to a deeper self-understanding and a realization of her potential.

"There was something about [yoga] that I couldn't quite name, but it was quiet, and I liked that enough that I was willing to sit through the discomfort of not knowing what the hell I was doing to try to do that again." – Becky, (14:46)

Tune in and discover why Becky's personal and professional experiences are a beacon of hope for many. Her insights on making guided choices from the soul rather than the ego, and the role of yoga and self-reflection in her transformation, are invaluable lessons for us all.

Remember, you are not stuck. You have the power to transform fear into freedom and to make choices that align with your soul's purpose.

“Maybe we have been doing what we're supposed to be doing for that period of time and maybe it's just time to do something different.” – Becky, (2:48).

Lynn helps you uncover your inner knowing. Learn how to tap into your intuition, amplify it, and nurture it so your inner-GPS navigates correctly, allowing you to manifest the abundance you deserve.

“I absolutely think we’re all hardwired with intuition, so all joking aside, I do think we have access to it, and I think it’s a deep inner wisdom, and I think we’ve forgotten how to listen to it.” – Lynn (1:38).

Ever feel like something keeps popping up in your life for some reason? Lynn reveals why these intuitive nudges may just be your cue to take action.

Uncover the secrets of distinguishing fear from genuine intuitive guidance and learn how the universe conspires in your favor as you trust your gut feelings. Learn from Lynn's expert techniques and personal anecdotes how to interpret the signs from the universe and how recurring intuitive nudges can show you the path forward.

Lynn’s an expert on intuitive thinking with a global following over the last 35 years. She’s the author of 7 books on intuition and her calling is to help people like you develop your intuitive muscles.

She reminds us to trust the universe, embrace your power, and take action on the nudges of your intuition.

“Intuition might come in an aha moment, a still quiet voice, it might be a whisper.” – Lynn, (2:48).

"It's just kind of putting the energy out towards what it is that you want. But again, you know, when you feel intuitively guided, if they feel uplifting or exciting or you're curious about them, those are the ones that intuition is guiding you towards." – Lynn, (10:27).

Lynn unveils how to discern your emotions with clarity. Learn to harness excitement and curiosity as beacons to your preferred destiny. Listen as Lynn and Lauren discuss the universe's invisible support system and the importance of trusting those internal prompts that incessantly steer you towards growth and success.

This episode is a beacon for anyone seeking to rise above the noise, embrace your innate wisdom, and live an aligned life.

"And the caveat I will say is that almost everybody tells me that they get scared trusting their intuition because it usually moves them out of their comfort zone. You know, end a relationship or begin a relationship or end a job or begin a job or do something new. That it always feels a little bit scary. And so that anxiety or that fear is not your intuition saying no. It's just a normal, you know, that's what happens when you're doing, when you do something new." – Lynn, (14:01).

“I realized I had been so focused on what I didn’t want, that thing that I was afraid of, that I hadn’t focused on what I really wanted.” – Lynn, (23:06).

Are you tired of feeling stuck and craving a major breakthrough? Ready to access the universe’s limitless energy and achieve your fullest potential? It’s time to ditch the self-doubt, step off the hamster wheel and ignite your inner power.

Join Lauren Abrams as she speaks with Kelsey Aida, coach, self-love, and meditation expert. Kelsey bravely shares her journey of overcoming depression and embracing her intuition - and then guides you to do the same.

"And I was just going through a lot of grieving and somehow, like, processing all those really heavy emotions just shed so much energetic density from my body that I opened myself up to all these psychic and intuitive gifts that I had no idea that I had." – Kelsey, (2:17).

“I basically just made an ultimatum with the universe, and I was like, God, universe, whoever is out there, what’s a girl gotta do to get help?” – Kelsey, (4:09).

Reignite your passions as Kelsey teaches powerful self-compassion techniques, providing a unique perspective on manifesting for your highest good.

"So every emotion, no matter how icky or heavy it feels, has a positive message for you. But you can only access that if you're willing to go there, which is uncomfortable." – Kelsey, (16:00).

Get inspired as Kelsey shares her approach to mindfulness, gratitude, and finding the courage to pursue your dreams.

“If I can get myself out of a suicidal state, then anything is possible with this information, and it needs to be more accessible.” – Kelsey, (5:34).

With Kelsey's refreshing insights and empowering vision, you're in for an episode that will leave you feeling reinvigorated, hopeful, and ready to embrace your best self.

"So, yeah, those were the two biggest moments that shaped me into the teacher, writer, and author that I am. And it shows that, like, your best manifestations always start in contrast. Because when you're experiencing that thing that's so uncomfortable that you hate, it's giving you so much clarity, and it's shaping you into the person who can have the thing that you're asking for. There's beauty in it even though it definitely sucks when you're going through it." – Kelsey, - (13:05).

“The best place to start is “I am” affirmations. I think those are very powerful and simple.” – Kelsey, - (7:04).

Get dialed in, focused, and ready to listen to Kelsey and her incredibly inspiring journey as she gives you simple yet powerful tools to set you on a path toward renewed success and happiness!

"Not in the same way where you go to therapy and they try to fix you or diagnose you or make you feel better, but it was more just like, okay, we're just gonna be curious about this feeling. We're gonna let it happen in the body. We're gonna observe it just from the compassionate witness standpoint. We're not gonna get lost in it. We're just gonna watch it happen in the body and see what comes from that." – Kelsey, (14:50).

“Your best manifestations always start in the contrast.” - Kelsey, (13:14).
