The Power of ‘I Can’ - start breaking through limitations
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! In this Thursday Thread, we're revisiting powerful insights from Dr. Craig Farney's previous episode to explore how the voices of "I can't" and "I can" shape our reality—both mentally and physically. We’ll dive into how the "I can't" voice, often rooted in societal conditioning, shows up in our lives, limiting our potential. In contrast, the "I can" voice—driven by curiosity and possibility—holds the key to unlocking your true power and transforming your life. Through practical somatic listening exercises, I’ll guide you to navigate this internal conflict, empowering you to shift your mindset with compassion and ease. We’ll also explore how these voices manifest physically, offering clues to where your limitations are showing up in your body. Drawing inspiration from trailblazers like Kathrine Switzer, who ran the first marathon as a woman, we’ll uncover the power of embracing curiosity and possibility, proving that anything is possible when you choose to listen to the voice of "I can." By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to confront your own limitations and dreams, and step into a more empowered version of yourself. Key Takeaways: Why challenging the "I can’t" voice unlocks new possibilities for your life. How to listen to your body and use physical sensations to guide your mental and emotional shifts. How to tap into the curiosity of your inner child to move beyond limitations and embrace new growth. Why confronting both your fears and dreams leads to true empowerment. How to make intentional, empowered choices that align with your true self and open the door to limitless possibility. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

Breathwork to Transform Stress into Serenity
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Did you spend any part of the past few weeks just trying to make it through? Have you worried about what others might think about the gifts you gave or food you made, or did you hold back your authentic thoughts and feelings to make peace with others around the dinner table? Maybe you felt like you came up short somewhere, or that you didn't enjoy the magic enough. The thoughts and feelings that we have during the holidays, particularly those we resist, can manifest as energetic blocks in our bodies. When we judge ourselves, fear the judgment of others, or hold back our true thoughts or feelings at holiday gatherings, it's essential to take a time out to process what has come up. This episode explores the powerful impact of breathwork in meeting all of this, which often begins to manifest as overwhelm or stress. Though particularly created for releasing any pressure or stress felt during the holiday season, this practice is great for any time you feel stress, tension, overwhelm or pressure. Embrace your emotions while finding calming clarity in this guided breathwork session, encouraging acceptance of feelings and inviting connection with the heart's wisdom to: • Recognize emotions as part of the holiday experience • Release blockages and invite a sense of calm connectedness • Create space with breath to emotions to naturally process • Welcome miracles into your life Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

Designing Your 2025 Vision
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What if one word could completely change the way you move through your year? I’m back on the podcast—refreshed, recharged, and ready to share the magic and lessons from a year of growth, unexpected adventures, and moments I’ll never forget (like a spine-tingling nighttime swim with manta rays in Hawaii). But this isn’t just a catch-up session. It’s an invitation. I’m sharing how hitting pause, getting intentional, and reflecting on the year you've had can set the tone for a 2025 that feels clear, purposeful, and full of possibility. I’ll also be sharing how a single word—like space —helped me find rest, clarity, and room to grow this past year in ways I didn’t even know I needed. So whether you’re dreaming up big, beautiful goals or just need a little reset, this episode is here to remind you: a little intention goes a long way. Let’s make 2025 the year you show up, breathe deep, and embrace what’s next—together. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

You are so freaking capable: Trust your instincts and follow your fun
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Do you trust your own instincts? How much faith do you put in your own decision making? This Thursday Thread episode pulls out a bit from Tuesday's conversation with business mentor, Kelly Roach, where we discussed how your instincts are a compass leading you to unimaginable achievements...but how many people haven't learned to listen in and honor their own instinctual nudges. In the episode, I share some personal reflections on the transformative instinct-based strategies that have worked for me (and many other entrepreneurs and leaders). Despite what many of us have been taught, trusting the path of your inner knowing will always guide you to the next best step. That doesn't mean you won't feel resistance! But the cool thing about resistance is that it's always pointing you right back home. It can even be a big signal to your next evolution or stage of growth! Heck, many times when you're feeling resistance, you're like a hermit crab that has outgrown your current shell – it's time to step out of your comfort zone and find a new spacious place to grow! This is easier said than done, of course. As you step outside your comfort zone, it's natural for fear to arise. As you expand your capacity for all things, your nervous system will go on red alert! When this happens, reach for a tool that can help you expand your capacity. Because the moments when you want to tap out are the best moments to turn inward and signal safety so you can expand. In fact, I invite you to expand your own capacity at the end of this episode using the powerful practice of breathwork, a tool that can revolutionize your emotional agility and capacity for joy. I guide you through a breathing exercise designed to help anchor you in the present, allowing you to expand your energetic capacity and flourish even under pressure. Embrace this opportunity to transform stress into strength, and discover a newfound resilience that resonates through every aspect of your life. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

Authentic feminine leadership: breaking through barriers and embracing opportunities – with Kelly Roach

Today, Kelly Roach joins us to tackle this very issue as she teaches us foundational principles for scaling a business and creating an enduring legacy. As founder and CEO of Kelly Roach International, former NFL cheerleader, and Fortune 500 executive, Kelly is no stranger to breaking through barriers. In our candid conversation, we navigate the challenges of leadership, the importance of self-belief, and the power of supporting each other - especially women - to untether and shatter those glass ceilings. I also get personal, reflecting on the immense impact my parents' encouragement had on my life and the journey towards authenticity in business – but also how money mindset challenges and financial constraints during our upbringing can become big tethers that keep us from excelling in our financial lives. In the episode, Kelly teaches us how to align business practices with core values, and how this leads to an authenticity that not only shapes a brand but also resonates deeply with today's consumers, who are seeking genuine human connection. Kelly and I discuss embracing every facet of ourselves, spirituality included, as a means to profoundly connect with others and thrive in the modern marketplace. We also address the less glamorous 'messy middle' of entrepreneurship. Starting is easy, but the true test of courage is persisting through adversity. We hope this episode offers you both compassion and mental fortitude as you expand your capacity for leadership. MEET KELLY ROACH Kelly Roach is one of the only female founders in the online space to build her company from 0 to 8 figures with 0 debt, investors, or outside funding.

Quitter's Guilt: What it is, and how it might be tethering you
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Ever felt yourself shackled by the fear of the unknown? Are you feeling the calling to make a big life change, but you're afraid of the consequences, or feel stymied by how your decision might impact others? In this Thursday Thread episode, I call back to the Tuesday conversation with Kristin Lee Geiger, who dropped a NYC fashion design job most people in the industry would DROOL over, to become a yoga teacher. I share about the power of the 2 am Truth: That moment where you have a stomach-punching realization something is not right with my life. I talk about the warning signs that you aren't following the messages coming from your intuition. One of the big ones is GUILT. From the seemingly inconsequential choices at the supermarket to the duties we perform out of sheer obligation, I reveal the subtle ways in which our lives become tethered by the guilt of quitting—and how confronting it can pave the way to personal growth and joy. Harnessing personal power and choice is a mantra I encourage you to adopt as you recognize the impact your decisions hold over your life. It's important to recognize how deeply ingrained these tethers are. From genetic coding being revealed by epigenetics, the influence of inherited patterns, the beliefs we hold, the patterning in our nervous system – these tethers hold down the untapped potential within us all. Join me in challenging norms and daring to reshape your own destiny with this big question: What would I do if it was completely up to me? As always, I end this episode with a breathwork exercise to support you in breaking down the walls of limitation. Step into your unbound potential and celebrate the exhilarating freedom of personal power. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Ever felt like what you're doing isn't quite cutting it for your soul? Join us as Kristin Lee Geiger, former fashion designer turned yoga and fitness guru, shares her story of swapping fashion industry accolades for inner peace. Imagine your dream job - now imagine walking away from it. That's precisely what Kristin did, and today we unwrap the guilt, the glory, and the guts it took for her to redefine her own success. She shares her story about building her "dream career" and how a moment on a New York City subway in the middle of the night was the awakening she needed to leave it all behind. Kristin left her highly-sought dream career and hit her yoga mat, eventually founding FLOFICIENT, an online fitness program that helps people find the most rewarding workout possible. Kristin's story is more than just a career change: it's a permission slip for all who are searching for a life of joy and authenticity. Kristin's steps from yoga teacher to entrepreneur took cutting a few tethers! Creating something that resonates personally and professionally isn't always easy – but the fulfillment is worth it.

Is feminine pleasure the secret sauce for personal transformation?
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever felt societal shame when it comes to embracing your desires? In today's episode, I peel back the layers of taboo to peek into the idea of how feminine pleasure and power could be the unsung heroes of personal transformation. We're not just talking about the secretive corners of manifestation communities or erotic empowerment – though we're not shying away from those topics. Instead, we get real about the everyday joy and abundance that come from aligning with our deepest cravings and how doing so can light up all aspects of our lives, from the boardroom to the bedroom. In the heart of our discussion lies a candid exploration of my own entrepreneurial path and the surprising ways our intimate lives can shape our professional success. I open up about the hurdles of welcoming joy and affluence into my life and how these battles have spilled over into conversations with my husband, revealing the profound interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds. This is a conversation about curiosity and self-acceptance, and how unshaming our desires and physical pleasure can create safe spaces within ourselves through practices like breathwork, and the courageous act of pressing into discomfort to emerge stronger and more whole. As always on Thursdays, we close with a meditative breathwork practice. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level? Join us at Island Awakening in Saint Martin from June 4-8, 2025 !

Courageously claiming female pleasure: The doorway to your destiny – with Courtney Boyer
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! As someone who grew up in faith-based schooling with restrictive norms and shame-based practices, the word "pleasure" has long given me the heebie jeebies. Until very recently, I couldn't even imagine, let alone EMBRACE, a world or belief system where pleasure and autonomy are embraced rather than shamed. Yet, here we are, about to share a conversation with Courtney Boyer that could be the very key to unlock a life filled with more vibrancy and authenticity for so many. THIS is an important conversation – probably one of the most important conversations we can be having. Courtney Boyer, a renowned relationship and sexuality expert, joins us to unravel the layers of societal expectations that often snuff out joy and self-acceptance at every level of our lives. And when we get to the bottom of it, much of our challenges with love and joy and acceptance and abundance - it's all wrapped up in our shame around our own desires and experience of pleasure. Courtneys wisdom will – at the very least – spark curiosity in you around the complexities of female pleasure and its profound implications it has on your personal sense of freedom and empowerment. This episode sheds light on the surprising connection between embracing our desires and stepping into a world where life is lived in full color. We confront the misinformation surrounding female sexuality and celebrate the potential for a society informed by pleasure, rather than restrained by outdated taboos. Pleasure is not just about the act of sex; it's about claiming our rightful place in a narrative that has long been dictated by others, and in doing so, finding our truest selves. MEET COURTNEY BOYER Courtney Boyer is a relationship and sexuality expert and author of Not Tonight, Honey: Why women actually don't want sex and what we can do about it. She has been featured in publications including Parent’s, The Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, The Independent, Yahoo!, and The Mirror. Courtney believes we can reclaim our power through our sexuality and she helps her clients to infuse passion and creativity into their lives by helping them uncover what's preventing them from connecting with their pleasure and purpose. For 2024, Courtney is focused on offering small group and 1:1 concierge sexual wellness retreats around the world. As her work in this field develops, Courtney is drawn to the emerging fields of epigenetics, neuropsychology and energy work. She is trained in evidence-based methods like NLP, EMDR, IFS, and trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Facebook Instagram <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/co

Why giving yourself permission is good for your health
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! For your health's sake: give yourself permission! Have you ever considered the health benefits of being unapologetically yourself? In this Thursday Thread episode, we pull out a little thread from Dr. Cindy's episode to talk about how giving yourself permission to live fully and authentically in alignment with yourself is the BEST thing you can do for yourself, down to your actual health. When your thoughts and beliefs are not congruent with your actions and behavior, your body goes into self-protection mode. Your sympathetic nervous system gets activated. It signals to the brain that there is something wrong – there's danger! So, your brain pumps cortisol to help you jump into action and fix whatever is wrong. A constant natural drip of cortisol causes longterm inflammation and a host of medical problems. Alternatively, when you are in full alignment and joy - fully living your truth, your parasympathetic is activated. This is where you rest, you digest, and you heal. It's where you are your most creative! When you are you in your most aligned way, and when you write yourself a permission slip to be YOU, you get to hand out permission slips to other people so they can do the same. How cool is that?! You are healing the world by being you. Granting yourself the freedom to live authentically is not merely a path to personal fulfillment, but an actual cornerstone of holistic health. As we discuss the power of writing a 'prescription to be yourself,' you'll discover the surprising connections between authenticity, reduced stress, and a lowered risk of inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Embrace the idea that nurturing your true desires and needs is not an indulgence, but a vital component of creativity, productivity, and overall wellness.

Cindy and I dissect the art of health advocacy, echoing the sentiment that we can empower ourselves to make choices that resonate deeply with our unique paths.

We throw a spotlight on authenticity, stressing its role in not just our own lives, but also in inspiring those around us to shed their own veils. In the spirit of embracing life's quirks, we invite you to join us in finding joy in the imperfections that make our lives and our journeys through health and happiness, truly extraordinary.

How to be consistent – and make it stick
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Do you struggle with being consistent? Here's a follow-up question: Are you doing more of what you feel you "have" to do or "need" to do, as opposed to what brings you joy? In this Thursday Thread episode, I pull a an unexpected thread from Poornima's episode on Tuesday. In her conversation, we spent a lot of time talking about healing ourselves, but there was this little note about consistency and how to continuously move toward greater health and happiness. So here's a mic drop for you: If you are NOT being consistent, it's because you are not fully connected to your joy. That's because continuing to do something over and over and over with DELIGHT and ENTHUSIASM and FERVOR comes from being connected to your "why." Your purpose is to do more things that bring you joy. It's full circle, baby. When you are connected to what is most meaningful for you, you don't have to FORCE yourself to do it. It's FUN. When it isn't fun? You're not acting in what author Gay Hendricks calls your "Zone of Genius." You know you're in your Zone of Genius when you are so driven that you don't have to force yourself to do anything. If you're not? You're probably living from some "have-tos" - things you feel obligated to do. TIME TO UNTETHER. This episode also takes a deeper look at the joys of 'sprinkle stacking' — a method I use and teach to increase our "productivity" while simultaneously layering fun and passion into our daily lives . E I've found ways to Sprinkle Stack throughout my life, and I do it with my own podcast! It's an invaluable tool. So stop poop stacking and start stacking sprinkles, my friends!!

The secret power of your hormones, energetics, and self-healing - with Poornima Vamsi
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What was the pivotal moment that led you down a journey of self-healing? In today's episode, I dive into my own personal health and healing journey with Poornima Vamsi, who shares her own. Together, we unravel insights on the often-neglected impact of hormonal imbalances and energetics on women's health. Poornima came to her own expertise in healing when two unrelated, but huge events rocked her world 1. Her hair started falling out in clumps 2. Her mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer (and she lived halfway across the world) When "traditional" medicine gave no answers or hope, Poornima set out on a quest to heal herself and and mother. (Spoiler alert: She did it!) In this conversation, we discuss the power of listening to ourselves, exploring "untethered" healing modalities, and aligning with our body's natural rhythms through reflective practices such as journaling and breathwork. All of this as Poornima explains the role energetics and our hormones physically impact the body and our health. The conversation unfurls the potential of holistic healing in nurturing not just the body, but the soul too. We go into the tough choices women face when balancing personal aspirations with familial obligations, and explore the cultural conditioning of women as natural caregivers and the cascading benefits of self-care on our families' health. MEET POORNIMA VAMSI I have struggled with Thyroid for 5 years, taking every single day medicine on empty stomach and then waiting for 30 mins to eat/drink something. I have also gone through post-partum depression, ankylosing spondylitis, plantar fasciitis - taken steroids to reduce pain and was frustrated living a life where I also weighed 90kgs/188 pounds. I knew there had to be a way out. My turning point majorly was when my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer overnight and was bed ridden. It is then that I researched, studied, certified and implemented my learnings to reverse my hormonal imbalances which allowed me to go off Thyroid medication, stopped taking steroids, reversed ankylosing spondylitis and plantar fasciitis and dropped a whopping 30kgs. It is mission that 'every woman deserves to live life medication free so that she can do more for herself and her loved ones' CONNECT WITH POORNIMA LI: Poornima Vamsi IG: @poornimahormonecoach FB: facebook.com/poornima.peri Website: https://poornimavamsi.com/ <a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1329880/support"

Today, I invite you to pull out your dream canvas and splash it with the vibrant colors of the present.

Instead of waiting until retirement, Molly took the leap and island hopped now (doubling her business revenue in the process!) What Molly was capable of achieving can easily feel so far away for most of us – but the truth is that it's often only a few decisions away. One of the first decisions we need to make for our dreams is to choose to feel our dreams as if they have already happened. In this short episode, I walk you through an exercise to do exactly this.

Chasing dreams and building success – with Molly Ruland
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Imagine the audacity of dreaming up your perfect day – and then actually chasing it down. That's exactly what Molly Ruland did, and she's on the podcast today to inspire you to do the same. Three years ago, Molly decided she didn't need to wait for retirement to live her dream life. Having taken her business online during the pandemic, there was nothing holding her back, so she sold her belongings and bought a house in Costa Rica. In this conversation, we talk about what it takes to make bold decisions, in our lives – and also in our businesses.

You are not alone (but it sure can feel like it sometimes)
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! One of the things I'm personally passionate about is removing the stigma, confusion, and even shame many of us experience around the ages of 35-50. Midlife crisis, midlife transition, and all the glories brought on by perimenopause – whatever you want to call it, this is real sh*t we go through. In today's Thursday Thread episode, I give my take on unveiling midlife transformations for exactly what they are: normal. This episode isn't just about navigating transitions; it's about normalizing and unshaming this experience we are all having in our 40s and 50s and finding connection and community through our common experiences. So take this journey with me, feel the solidarity in our shared stories, and perhaps, pass this conversation along to someone who, like you, is seeking companionship on this midlife adventure. As we always do on Thursdays, I close the episode with a meditative breathwork exercise that bridges the gap between us, even as we listen from different corners of the world. Join me in reflecting on the invisible threads that knit our lives together, emphasizing the magic in each present moment. *This episode (and many upcoming episodes) reflects some audio grumbles from a time period when we were experiencing poor wifi connection in our area of Portland.

Turning 40 and navigating the "ick" of the midlife crisis - with Stephanie McLaughlin
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Is the midlife crisis a real thing? I've been curious about this for a while. I mean, there are times I'm actually pretty thrilled to be in my 40s. There are times I get a little freaked out about it. Stephanie McLaughlin is on the podcast this week to talk about that thing that happens to us around "midlife." When she turned 40, Stephanie decided to have 40 drinks with 40 friends from her past. The project changed her life. In our episode, Stephanie shares how this started the '40 Drinks Project,' a movement that challenges the stigma around the midlife crisis narrative. Stephanie shares the unexpected wisdom she uncovered via the laughter and reminiscence she shared with long-lost friends. One of the things Stephanie uncovered in this project is how her childhood memories were the secret ingredients to understanding her present self. She is now on a mission to wash away the "ick" around the idea of midlife, and to show people how it's actually a chance to turn back toward the things that brought you joy as a child. Meet Stephanie McLaughlin: Bringing a background in journalism to marketing, Stephanie McLaughlin merges creativity with clarity for clients of her marketing agency, Savoir Faire Marketing/Communications. Her superpower is uncovering a company’s “soul” and then developing stories about that soul that resonate with the audiences most responsible for the company’s success.

How to Heal Your Relationship with Money – with Kate Northrup
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Does money cause you major stress? Heck, it's tax time, which can feel overwhelming – especially to the entrepreneur. In fact, I just caught myself in a stress cycle about the taxes I owed because I was afraid i'd made TOO MUCH money. Thank goodness for Kate Northrup, who has come on the podcast today to help us end this stress cycle and heal our personal relationship with money.

We go deep into the real things holding many of us back from financial success –like how our thoughts and our nervous system impact the money we make, and how your emotional 'thermostat' regulates your capacity for prosperity.

What's keeping you tethered?
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever caught yourself going through the motions, feeling disconnected from the vibrant life you once envisioned? Is there a magical dream life you know is possible for you, but it feels impossible to attain? In this episode, I share the number one thing keeping you tethered to a life you don't love: not feeling. On Tuesday, Matt Zemon joined the podcast to talk about the power of psychedelics and why people are suddenly talking so much about their healing powers, and why he believes they should be more accessible. In the conversation with Matt, the main message he revealed is that the purpose of making these these substances available to people is to help them in safely peeling back the layers of numbness that keep us from connecting to our true selves. Coming back to your body, and reconnecting the mind and body, is essential to properly orchestrating the life you desire. It's your job to take your most empowered approach and become the conductor of your life – however you get there. I'll also take you through a personal revelation sparked by an emotional exchange with my mom, showcasing the importance of feeling our emotions, even if they're painful, to cultivate a more compassionate existence. This journey isn't just for the psychedelic-curious—it's for anyone seeking to live a life filled with mindfulness and authentic creation. Practices like meditation and breathwork will help you untether in the same way magic mushrooms will. At the end of this episode, I guide you through a gentle breathing exercise to deepen your connection with your body and the inherent magic of your being. So plug in, take a deep breath, and prepare to transform the way you engage with the world around you. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

Can psychedelics heal trauma and help you live your best life? – with Matt Zemon
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Are psychedelics the answer to all your limiting beliefs and other mindset blocks on your personal development or healing journey? On the podcast today, we have Matt Zemon, who is here to walk us across the bridge between skepticism and curiosity on the topic of psychedelics. Matt's path from a conventional Midwestern life to bestselling author came at the hands of a profound awakening with the aid of magic mushrooms. Like many of us who grew up with a certain set of beliefs, Matt's transformation happened at the crossfire of cultural expectations and his own curiosity. In this conversation, he illustrates how the power of psychedelics realigned his life with his truest innermost needs and desires. Our discussion with Matt isn't about advocating for escapism but embracing a holistic approach to awakening your personal gifts. We delve into the ancient lineage of psychedelics, what happens in the brain when on them, and how Matt sees this window as an opportunity for self-reflection and renewal. Matt's expertise underscores the potential these substances hold for reframing our mindset and nurturing a sense of empowerment. We wrap up with an exploration of the diverse ways Americans engage with psychedelics, from the clinical confines of ketamine therapy to the sacred circles of church-based practices. Matt and I unpack the importance of safety, informed consent, and personal agency across all models of psychedelic interaction – and all holistic wellbeing practices, including breathwork, meditation, and other mindfulness practices that are becoming more mainstream. MEET MATT ZEMON Matt Zemon, Author of two best-selling books: Psychedelics for Everyone: A Beginner’s Guide to These Powerful Medicines for Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, PTSD, and Expanding Consciousness and Beyond the Trip, A Journal for Psychedelic Preparation and Integration. Matt has seen firsthand how psychedelics have helped people from different walks of life, and his goal is to "normalize" the conversation and reduce stigma. He wants to support others to “Reclaim Their True Self” with the aid of psychedelics. With an MSc in Psychology & Neuroscience of Mental Health, Matt co-founded various companies dedicated to improving mental health and well-being using the power of legal psychedelics. Matt loves to share his journey with psychedelics and mental health, myths and rumours around psychedelic medicine, and how psychedelics can play a powerful role in healing, connection and self-improvement, both for the people who choose to use them and for those who do not.

Unlocking your authentic self: overcoming burnout and embracing childlike joy
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever found yourself hurtling toward an achievement, only to realize you've ignited the fuse of burnout along the way? In this Thursday Thread episode, I call back to Tuesday's conversation with Shehzad, a doctor who faced severe burnout and emerged with a newfound sense of his most authentic self. Like so many of us, Shehzad discovered that the pathway out of burnout cannot be found through external achievements or gratification. It can only be found through the journey back home to our younger selves. As we chase others' definitions of success in our careers and lives, there comes a point where we realize the deception of these tethers. You will never be happy building your life based on others' expectations, praise, or ideas of success. You must craft your own definition of what it means to live a full and prosperous life, and that begins with the tiny moments that brought you joy – before those tethers were formed. From hula hooping to the carefree rides on our bikes, in this episode, we explore how these pastimes are not just memories, but keys to unlocking our authentic selves, freeing us from the chains of constant stress and rekindling the creative brilliance within. Enjoy an 8-minute breathwork meditation at the end of this episode where you'll be invited to reconnect to your inner child, and hear what they have to share with you.

Let go of self-judgment and embrace your empathetic leadership
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How good are you at letting go? Most of us are terrible at it. Letting go is hard to do. So, how do we put down all of those rocks we keep stuffing into our backpacks? In this episode, I peel back the layers on what it really means to shed the emotional burdens we carry. In Tuesday's conversation with Holly Jean Jackson, she shared her expertise on why letting go of things we don't need to be responsible for is akin to setting down a heavy load we've been shouldering for far too long. I take you through a revealing exercise, showing you how to physically cast away tension and embrace the liberating sensation that follows. You'll learn why this act of release is essential, not just for personal wellbeing but for propelling yourself forward in our careers and life missions. Feeling judged, by ourselves or others, is a familiar tether for most of us. What if we could let it go? I recount an eye-opening personal epiphany and invite you to join me on the path from self-criticism to self-love—an essential journey for fostering leadership and empathy. By tuning into our gentler, empathetic voice, we empower ourselves to become not just better leaders, but also more understanding human beings. We dissect the notion of first voice and second voice, uncovering how being mindful of which one we listen to can significantly enrich our personal lives and professional interactions. This isn't just an intellectual exercise; it's a practical guide to nurturing a more fulfilled existence. We end this Thursday Thread episode with a breathwork session to support you in releasing judgment, and any stress, tension or anxiety that came with it – through the window of loving curiosity.

Come with me to St. Maarten and live your best island life!
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Are you ready to live your best life? Well, my friend. It starts TODAY. In this bonus episode, I'm calling your fun forward. It's time to start f**king around a whole lot more, because this is where you will get paid – in all things. Happiness, connection, strong relationships, pleasure, luxury, adventure, money – manifesting all of it starts when you say a huge heck yes to your own fun. Don't believe me? Well, how's not having fun been working out for you? How is being an overly serious and over responsible perfectionist treating you? How is being in a state of scarcity and lack and fear and imposter syndrome and "I can't" been bringing in the amazingness? Okay, maybe none of these things are really you, but I'll be so assertive to say that it is most people. And it's time to shake yourself out of this unconscious slumber! Because when we create our day-to-day lives from that energy, it reinforces the creation of an entire world of people who are building structures and a society that leads us to live in a way that is unsatisfying and all-out unhealthy. We have manifested the world we are in right now. We need to own that, and do something to change it. I'm not here for creating a crappy world for myself or future generations, and I'm guessing neither are you. So, whether you join Riselle and I at the spectacular Island Girl Awakening Retreat in St. Maarten Jun 4-9 or not, I hope this episode inspires you to start dreaming and to start stepping in. Because the world needs you to say a lot more hell yeses to your fun. To join the retreat, go to jenliss.com/retreat and it will redirect you over to Risselle's page. I'll be along for the whole ride with the group, and will be offering breathwork multiple days at the retreat. It's going to be an amazing, beautiful and absolutely transformative experience for all who join us. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

Shattering the perfection illusion: embrace your authenticity
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Ever caught yourself trying to live your life like a curated Instagram gallery, each 'perfect' moment on display? This episode is dedicated to why we need to start tearing down that gallery wall. Like Mekiya Outini said on Tuesday's episode, the actual trauma is telling ourselves that life is perfect. Nothing is perfect! Yet, all external signals from society have taught us that to be valuable and worthy, we have to be perfect. This is a complete lie. It's a lie that I have struggled with this myself – this striving to be perfect. At times, I have definitely wrapped my own self worth into the version of myself I wished I was, instead of simply accepting myself exactly as I am. That's why I take time in this episode to pull a thread from Mekiya's comment and unravel the concept of radical responsibility and how it can lead to genuine liberation. The cracks in our personal veneer are essential to our story's beauty, and I hope this episode invites you to breathe through the bounds of perfectionism and let your imperfect beauty shine. Nothing in nature is perfect. In fact, it's the imperfections that make every flower gorgeous. Journaling questions for this episode: Where might I be trying to fill in a hole? Where can I let nature be, exactly as it's intended to exist? Where in my life can I let myself love one of those little "natural holes" in my life, exactly as it is? Listen to this episode to hear: How taking radical responsibility for where you are can help you let go of perfectionism. Why your imperfections are a masterpiece. How to embrace the beauty of your life, exactly as it is.

Seeing your potential through the eyes of others – with Itto and Mekiya Outini
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! In today's episode, Itto and Mekiya Outini open up about the power of storytelling, overcoming personal challenges, and the unique paths that have led them to become advocates for writers worldwide. We begin with Itto and Mekiya telling the unlikely story of how they met, and how their union not only created great happiness for the two of them, but also their business Datekeepers, a platform where emerging writers find their voice and the courage to share their stories. Itto shares how her early life living on the streets of Morocco due to a heart-breaking family betrayal eventually led her rise as a globally-recognized scholar. Mekiya shares how his life story is one of defying societal norms, and embracing a life that is true to himself. Their shared experiences, filled with resilience and self-love, serve as a beacon for anyone navigating the complexities of finding their own voice. At the heart of our conversation lies a universal reminder: the impact of a supportive community and influential mentors in our own life's stories. We explore the balance between receiving guidance and forging an independent path, and the transformative effect of educators who embolden, rather than diminish our personal power. MEET ITTO AND MEKIYA Itto and Mekiya Outini are the founding editors of The DateKeepers, an international media platform that publishes short-form creative and journalistic nonfiction, spotlights individuals who’ve overcome extreme adversity to make meaningful contributions to their fields, and creates opportunities for emerging writers.

Embracing a life of joy and adventure beyond fear
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Ever wondered how it feels to step away from the beaten path and craft a life of unadulterated joy and adventure? It's not Pollyanna. It's possible. On Tuesday, I spoke with Scot McKay, a fearless globetrotter who's traveled to 110 countries. Scot has crafted his life in a way that cuts through the noise of societal expectations. He's truly living an untethered existence. In today's episode, I pull back the curtain on the main thing I see that he's done in his lifetime and how this philosophy can reshape your life's trajectory: Choosing curiosity and love over fear and control. Today, I reflect with you about my own path alongside my husband, where we've turned fear into a foundation of safety within our relationship – which sparked in our teen years. As we've peeled back the layers of our own relationship, we've faced some huge challenges. There are so many tethers and fear-based patters we've created between the two of us without conscious awareness. Dismantling them, one by one, has been quite a journey. This episode isn't just about wanderlust; it's an intimate exploration of how fear-based decisions can stifle personal growth and dim the brilliance of our relationships. It's a call to reevaluate the anchors holding us back and an inspiration to chase the life that makes us say, "heck yes, this is living!" Embrace the wisdom, the personal anecdotes, and the infectious optimism that could very well be the nudge you need to start navigating towards your own extraordinary, untethered life.

What's keeping you from being happy - with Scot McKay
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What do sharks, entrepreneurship, and sipping coffee with Pablo Escobar have in common? Scot McKay! Yes, today's guest has a storied history, and we dive deep into all of it. In today's episode, Scot shares his leap from employee to entrepreneur, and all the wild tales in between. His journey from being a challenging employee to becoming a successful dating and relationship coach is not just about romance; it's about the courage to embrace change and the power of laughter in the face of fear. We discuss the impact that travel and cultural exposure can have on our preconceptions and prejudices. Scott touches on raising children with a global perspective, fostering inclusivity, and how these adventures have reshaped his understanding of happiness and success in his own career and life. In our final thread, we examine the importance of authenticity and the allure of human connection. Scott advocates for a virtuous masculinity, one that chooses love over fear and finds strength in vulnerability. Whether we're discussing the unconditional love of pets or the magic found in life's simplest moments, this episode is a reminder to listen, be present, and let life unfold with curiosity and openness. MEET SCOT MCKAY Scot McKay has shared bad jokes with North Korean military officers, sipped coffee at Pablo Escobar’s home (served by his maid), survived a shark attack while surfing, held his breath as the pride of lions walked by his tent, and blitzed through California canyons with his knee on the double-yellow line at 140 mph. Yet somehow, he has also been referred to as the “sane one” on Twitter by Scott Adams, of all people. But despite once being mobbed by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, being able to back a 30′ travel trailer into its slot on the first try, and that time he beat the World Champion at his own sport (no details provided), he’s still the most objective and down-to-earth dating expert out there. His show The Mountain Top has also been named a Top 10 Dating Podcast by DatingAdvice.com, and a long time ago Grader.com weirdly ranked Scot the #1 most influential Facebook user in the world.

How to make your affirmations work for you
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Can one, single question really change the trajectory of your life? Yes, I believe it's true, and that the antidote to our ego-based problems is the loving curiosity invoked by the question, "What if...?" In this episode, we explore the concept that your own curiosity is the medicine you're looking for, shedding light on the ethos of creativity that binds together artists, scientists, and innovators: the power of inquiry. I invite you to let go of the ego's craving for certainty and dissect the traditional dichotomy of right and wrong, uncovering how curiosity is the cornerstone of unlocking our full creative and magical potential. This is a call to awaken your dormant potential, to stir the very essence of your creative spirit, and to recognize that by igniting this internal flame, the impact transcends beyond the self. When we foster a mindset that values exploration and questions over ego, the doors to limitless possibilities swing wide open. Tune in to transform your perspective and supercharge your inner brilliance—because it's time we all started asking more questions and caring less about the comfort of being right. This is a Thursday Thread episode calling back to Ania Halama's episode on Tuesday, and we end on a moment of breath to call in possibility through the power of inquiry.

Start living your life with no regrets
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What is one thing in your life you're afraid you might regret if you don't do it? It's totally human to have regrets, or the fear of regret. Even Taylor Swift and Super Bowl champ Travis Kelce experience them! But it's my goal to help each of us have a heck of a lot less of them. Maybe even none! In this Thursday Thread, I share own evolution from hairstylist to corporate strategist to online business owner to the voice behind this podcast and how this continuous (and courageous) growth and transformation has helped me to avoid the big R in many ways. I hope it inspires you to take more courageous action, too. I believe every "yes" for ourselves, whether it's in our career, job, relationships, family choices, living situation, and so on, is a stepping stone to your most regret-free life and how owning your decisions gives you the opportunity to mindfully craft your own unique journey. This episode isn't just about career pivots; it's a deeper look at crafting a life without regrets, one where relationships shine as the cornerstone and adaptability is your north star. As I note in the episode, living regret-free is about consciously uncovering the areas in your life you're ignoring. These shadow parts will only crave more and more attention, after all! So why not honor them by giving them what they need before they become shadow monsters?! We close the episode with a moment of conscious breathing, grounding you in the here and now, and encouraging you to embrace the lessons of your own journey with open arms and an open heart. Questions to consider for yourself after listening to this episode: Where is that one area where I am not looking at? (relationships, career, love, financial, family, or something else) Where am I scared to turn inward? Can I take one tiny, courageous step toward it today?

Feeling triggered? Here's why that's a good thing.
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Can feeling triggered be a good thing? What if these moments of emotional hijacking aren't our adversaries, but rather, opportunities for lessons, growth and chances to heal? Join me for this Thursday Thread where I unpack the ways in which triggers can potentially be harnessed as catalysts for empowerment. In the episode with Glenn Cohen on Tuesday, we dissected the nuances of neurological wounding and the seemingly invisible threads that connect our past experiences to our current habits and beliefs. In this episode, I pull out a thread specifically in regard to triggers. In my own life, and in my work, I have seen how turning inward toward a moment of emotional discomfort can produce new pathways to learning and development. We have to feel to heal, after all! This conversation doesn't stop at mere understanding — learning from our triggers is about taking actionable steps toward transformation. Listen in as I share a moment from my own childhood that impacted my ability to use my voice, and how podcasting and breathwork have supported me in turning inward to unleash my gifts. I hope this episode inspires you to embrace your triggers, using modalities like coaching, therapy, breathwork, meditation, or other therapeutic avenues to support you in working with your nervous system's patterns. This episode isn't about coping; it's about thriving through the very triggers that once held us captive. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

In this episode, I offer a personal perspective on why I chose my Word of the Year "S P A C E" and how it has already been showing up for me in the first few weeks of 2024. To me, spaciousness means more room for fun, magnificence, and "wow" moments. It also means reducing pressure – both internal and external.

How taking a step back and adjusting your priorities can be a huge step forward
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Ever have an unexpected situation come up that forces you to press pause? Shifting gears can bring up fear, frustration, and anxiety around dropping the ball on our previous promises and priorities. I had an experience exactly like this myself this month, and in this heart-to-heart, I share the personal details of how my unexpected January has helped me step back and adjust my priorities. This experience has led me to understand the profound impact of stepping back and slowing down, something that every leader needs to do – but is often a struggle for those of us who have long "fed" on the hustle. Join me as I reflect on how I've learned to tune into my intuitive signals to prevent burnout and how choosing my 'Word of the Year' has been a beacon that steered me through some difficult decisions this month. Plus, I'll unravel the story of how Alfred T Dog bounded into my world, a bundle of fur wrapped in life lessons on readiness and adaptability. Adopting Alfred wasn't just about gaining a pet; it was an expedition through my own vulnerabilities, a test of patience, and a reshuffle of my priorities that I hadn't anticipated. This chapter is a candid look at our shared experiences—from his comedic husky howls interrupting breath work sessions to the warmth he's brought into my life as we faced the cold grip of a Portland ice storm together. His paw prints have softly padded over the blueprints of my January goals, teaching me valuable lessons about the importance of adaptability in both personal growth and creating a nurturing environment for our fluffy family member. Join us on this deeply personal ride and maybe, just like me, you'll find your own Alfred: an unexpected (and sometimes frustrating) shift in your plans that turns out to be the greatest gift you could have received.

What it means to take responsibility for your own healing with Mitzi Campbell
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! As you step into 2024, have you taken time to reflect on the roads traversed and those which await you? In my latest conversation with the insightful Mitzi Campbell, a beacon of healing and transformation, we unravel the power of our past in shaping a more intentional and enlightened future. Mitzi, with her trauma-informed coaching expertise and 35 years of experience in academia, shares the art of embracing life's ebbs and flows. Her story of overcoming vertigo and the serendipitous turns that followed is a compelling narrative of resilience and the willingness to say 'yes' to life's unfolding script. The fabric of our lives is woven with stories that connect us, raise consciousness, and reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary. Mitzi and I delve into the world of storytelling as a catalyst for unity and personal growth. The conversation taps into our innate drive to evolve, to cast off limiting beliefs, and to truly own the stories we write with each breath we take. The journey toward growth and a fulfilling life is punctuated by our willingness to engage, to reflect, and to assume responsibility for our trajectory. This episode explores the shift from the confines of academia to the liberating realm of entrepreneurship, as embodied by the creation of Mitzi's own Blessings Journal. The discussion around the journal's role in fostering gratitude and a growth mindset, coupled with lessons from Carol Dweck's seminal work " Mindset ," provides listeners with the tools to cultivate self-awareness and embrace change. Our chat culminates with an exploration of the victim mentality and the magnetic pull of growth that propels us away from stagnation. Mitzi's insights serve as a gentle nudge to recognize the everyday magic that surrounds us and to actively participate in the narrative (and healing) of our lives. MEET MITZI CAMPBELL Mitzi has spent over thirty-five years in education. She is a Transformational Teacher. Her dynamic skills in the areas of academia, psychology, non-profit leadership and the creative arts inform her life story in continuous, priceless, and powerful ways and allow her to impact and uplift others with divine sincerity.

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever caught yourself measuring your self-worth by the trophies on your shelf, instead of the passion in your heart? Join me in this Thursday Thread as I pull a thread of insight from my conversation with Alan Stein Jr. where I discuss the why falling madly in love with the process, rather than being fixated on the finish line, is the key to success. In a society that often confuses achievement with fulfillment, it's time we deconstruct that narrative and learn why the journey itself holds the key to our deepest joy and potential for success. This episode is designed to reignite the flames of passion for what you do, reminding you that your present moment joy is your everyday strategy for longterm results. Through the lens of a pivotal Stanford study, I explore how reward-based motivation might be dimming the light on passions that used to shine bright. And finally, we wrap up with a guided breath meditation that will help you tap into your present joy. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

I was holding myself back from fully stepping into all the magic of life, because of these little worries and fears about not meeting the expectations of my family, not meeting the expectations of society, of my gender. In short, I was worried as hell about what others thought of me. And I'm not alone. After conversation after conversation on this podcast, I hear a similar theme.

Holiday Minisode 2: The power of seeing your own value
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever felt like everyone else is the star on the Christmas tree? That, someday, you'd like to earn your spot at the top, too? Unfortunately, this feeling is completely normal. In our society, most people actually feel less valuable than others, as if you're somewhere at the bottom while others are stars shining at the top. Our obsession with hierarchy distorts our self-perception and creates unnecessary pain and suffering that we inflict on ourselves – and on others. But let me tell you something, my friend: We're all stars at the top of the Christmas tree!! I learned this valuable lesson about putting others on a pedestal during 2023, and it has been challenging but transformative. Join me in this minisode where I debunk the myth of pedestal perfection. In our discussion, we'll challenge the societal obsession with hierarchy and explore how seeing ourselves as equals can revolutionize our self-worth. We'll also delve into the ways in which elevating ourselves or others can distort your own value. Let's walk into 2024 with a renewed sense of self-worth and a firm belief in our inherent value. It's time to shine brightly at the top of the tree, where we are all meant to be! Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

In this episode, I get together with Clarity Coach and breathwork enthusiast, Jen Roth, as we share our experiences and passion for breathwork and how it helps others find clarity through our work as coaches.

In this conversation, Ben bridges ancient wisdom with modern insights to share how plant medicine, breathwork, and other holistic practices have supported him along his own spiritual journey – and how technology is part of the awakening that, in his eyes, is elevating our collective consciousness in a positive way. We unravel the historical significance of breath in various spiritual traditions, discussing into its role as a bridge connecting the physical and spiritual worlds and the science behind intentional breathing and its profound effects on our physiology and mental well-being. Ben sees breathwork as a potent tool for supporting people in untethering from the societal conditioning that's keeping us in a state of human suffering so we can come home to what is truly meaningful to us. Takeaways from this episode: If you see someone who has achieved success, there's been a decade of doubts, fear, and unworthiness they've overcome. Despite the negativity visible in the world around us, we are evolving in an upward trend. Be open to seeing reality for what it actually is, instead of fixating on it being something familiar to you. You can experience "God" within yourself, and breathwork is a way of helping you do that. Magic is all around you, but you have to be willing to let go of everything you've been told to truly see it. ---- This episode is part of Brilliance of Breathwork Month , an initiative bringing greater awareness to this transformative healing modality. ---- Meet Ben Holt Ben Holt is the founder of Connect and Evolve, an experiential program focused on providing resources for preventative health as well as full-spectrum wellness and spiritual growth.

Healing pain and the neuroscience of breathwork – with Andrea Freemyer
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How does someone with a PhD in neuroscience come to be completely enamored by the body? Meet Andrea Freemyer, PhD, a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, embodiment coach, nervous system educator and nature connection guide. She also happens to be one of my mentors! Through her studies to become a PhD in Neuroscience, Andrea discovered that pain and trauma live in the body and that sustainable healing happens not at the level of the mind, but in the re-patterning of the nervous system and the depths of body connection. When the body heals, the mind follows. As she was beginning to awaken more deeply to what this means for every human, the very foundation of Andrea's own life was shaken. With a young son at home to care for, her husband died by suicide. In her intense suffering, Andrea had nowhere to turn but inward, and that's where she found the answer. It was through this process of facing her own pain that Andrea discovered just how disconnected she'd been from her own feelings. She realized she had forgotten how to love and connect. Through a courageous journey, Andrea learned to heal her complicated grief with the power of her own presence. This story sets the tone for the deeper dive Andrea brings about the science behind breathwork, and how we can leverage this powerful, built-in tool to come back home to ourselves, to learn to love, and to connect in ways we may currently feel too scared or vulnerable to accomplish. Listen in to hear: The science behind breathwork and how it supports your health through nervous system regulation The power of presence in healing deep trauma and pain Why embodiment practices like breathwork are so desperately needed right now ---- This episode is part of Brilliance of Breathwork Month , an initiative bringing greater awareness to this transformative healing modality. ---- Meet Andrea Freemyer, PhD Andrea is a neuroscientist, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, embodiment guide, and nervous system educator. Her focus is on helping humans strengthen the mind-body connection with a blend of nervous system education, embodiment exercises, breathwork, and nature-based therapies. Utilizing a combination of science, energy work, and spiritual practices- her approach promotes nervous system health, a sense of embodied safety, and a deeper connection to the presence holding us. She is passionate about inviting people home to their bodies, hearts, and full expression. She provides a safe space that nurtures deep self-discovery and remembrance of what it feels like to be fully alive. Instagram : @andreafreemyer.phd

Is Breathwork the tool you're missing on your self-development journey?
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you been twisting yourself into a perfect pretzel to do all the meditation and mindfulness practices the experts have told you to do, but can't seem to make any progress on the flurry of limiting beliefs running through your mind? So many people give up on mindfulness practices because they feel pressured to do it "perfectly" or they can't seem to quiet their mind enough to feel like it's "working." As part of Week 1 of Brilliance of Breathwork Month: Demystifying Mindfulness, I share the two big moments where breathwork very practically came into my life as the thing that transformed my own personal journey. These two moments were just the beginning of how impactful breathwork has been on my life, how it took me out of the suffering of the past and the "wanting" of the future so I could become fully present in the now. In these moments, there were two books whose ideas about mindfulness and breathwork were transformative for me: 1. Chi Running by Danny Dreyer 2. You are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh These books helped me to realize that, when we are in physical and emotional pain, we are living in the past. When we are dissatisfied, we are living in the future. The only place where we can be truly satisfied and complete is in the "now." Breathwork, often overlooked in the realm of personal growth, has been gaining recognition for its incredible potential to unlock our inner potential, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. But what exactly is it, and how can it impact your life? Whether you're a seasoned self-development enthusiast or just beginning your journey towards personal growth, this episode will provide you with invaluable insights and practical tools to elevate your well-being and unlock your fullest potential. This episode is part of Briliance of Breathwork Month, an initiative to provide education and tools to demystify the profound mental and physical impacts our breath offers to our health, wellbeing, and even our careers.

How to know if you are tethered, and what to do about it
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! In a world that often seems fixated on perfection, where the pressure to meet others' expectations can feel overwhelming, it's easy to lost sight of who you truly are. Come with me to explore the profound significance of untethering from perfectionism, pleasing and other people's expectations to reclaim your authentic self. As someone who has (and is) continuing to unravel this for myself, I know the challenges of waking up one day and wondering, "Who the heck am I under all these masks?" So many of us wake up one day and realize the societal and external pressures have completely shaped our sense of self, and it can take a bit to come back home to what is truly aligned for us. The truth is that pleasing and perfectionism can hinder our creativity, personal growth, and our ability to have true and genuine relationships. It is worth the pain of untethering. Truly, it is. In this episode, I share ways to identify where you might be tethered, and offer you some ways to break free from the ropes that bind you so you can unleash your imperfections. These are what make you truly unique and magical – the unicorn who you are. It's okay to set your brilliance free! So pull out your satchel of magical self-compassion as I encourage you to embark on a journey toward self-acceptance and a life that is in coherence with your true self. Remember, unicorn: You cannot rush the untethering. Let it unfold exactly as it should. Signs you might be tethered: You're worrying a lot about what other people want or need You're worrying about what other people think You're procrastinating or you're putting things off You're asking everyone else for advice, and nothing is helping you gain clarity What to do about it: Become present. Use a tool like breathwork, meditation, or any other simple mindfulness practice, even a creative practice like the Color Walk we learned from Rob Walker a few weeks ago. Meet yourself where you are, and accept it. Have compassion for yourself in moments of frustration. When you catch yourself wanting to rush, remind yourself that you can trust that everything is happening for you in perfect timing.

Dawn Calvinisti is here to tell us how to identify the ways the 3Ps could be showing up in your day-to-day and how they could be preventing you from fully stepping into an authentic life you love. Dawn is a passionate advocate for empowering women to embrace their imperfections and lead more joyful, successful, and less stressful lives. In this episode, Dawn shares her personal journey from striving for perfection to embracing imperfections – and the turning point that led her to advocate for choosing authenticity over striving to do everything right. She tells us about the moment she woke up and realized that she was being everything to everyone – and no one to herself. This led to the unraveling of all the ways she was masking and shape-shifting to try to fit into the perfect expectations of she thought others were placing on her. Wherever you are in your journey, you’ll find less stress and more joy in this episode as Dawn underscores the the importance of celebrating your imperfections and seeking support on the way to a more fulfilled and purposeful life. Listen to yourself to hear: How to identify if the 3Ps are getting in our way of living our best life. The parts of Pleasing, Perfectionism, and Procrastination that you might want to keep around! How to stop being an ostrich and and finally stop hiding behind our masks. Why the ways we think we "should" be living is one of the biggest tethers keeping us stuck. The powerful question Dawn posed in this question: If I had no expectations at all, if no one was around, what would I choose to do? MEET DAWN Dawn Calvinisti helps women who identify as people-pleasers, perfectionists and procrastinators find joy and simplicity by getting clear on what they want with step by step directions on how to get there -- without the stress and overwhelm that causes them to freeze.

Unshaming Your Spiritual Journey
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How do you release shame you’ve experienced along your path of self-development and growth? Today I reflect on my own spiritual journey and the ways in which shame has impacted my experience over the past decade or so. I’ve personally experienced a bit of a homecoming back to myself, and as I’ve done so, the path has consistently surprised me. The thing that has most shocked me is my shift back into spirituality. In fact, I fought it for quite sometime — until it practically beat me over the head and I finally cried uncle about it. In this episode, I give you a peek into my experience in hopes of it normalizing this for you or anyone else who may be supported by hearing what I’ve been through specifically when it comes to many facets of spiritual shame. I felt shame when I felt pulled away from my religious upbringing, and I felt shame when I came back to spirituality. And I felt triggered by it all for a long time. Hope there’s something good for you here in these reflections, and that it invites you to open up to your experiences (and those of others) with less judgement and shame — and replace it with loving curiosity.

How to light up with the world with ecstasy and play- with Allison Holley
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you heard of ecstatic dance? Ever wondered what it's all about and why anyone would want to do it? I brought Allison Holley on the podcast to help us understand why everyone is suddenly talking about ecstasy, and we got this and so much more in return. Allison is an author and channel (who teaches others how to channel, too). Knowing this, I got pretty darn curious! Come with us on a journey down some pretty deep spiritual rabbit holes. In this episode, we explore the fusion of spirituality and ecstatic play, discussing how these concepts intersect and can enhance one's personal journey. According to Allison, ecstatic play can help you unleash your gifts in ways that help you shine as bright as you were meant to be. We address common misconceptions and challenges related to spirituality itself, as well as the relationship between joy, happiness, and spiritual fulfillment. Listen to this episode to hear: What spirituality has to do with ecstasy and play. Ways to integrate ecstatic play into your own spiritual life. How ecstatic play can facilitate personal transformation and self-discovery. What channeling is (and why you're already doing it right now.) The benefits of conscious channeling. Why curiosity is your best friend for any awakening. Takeaways: You are the light, and the only thing that keeps us from being ecstatic are our own filters. Everything you experience is your own creation, so why not play for fun? When we remove the barriers of human conditioning and allow the fullness of light to flow through us, we become illuminated. Ecstasy is really allowing the fullness of light to stream through us. You are, at your very essence, love incarnate. Therefore, you're doing a great job without even trying. Meet Allison Holley Allison Holley is an Andromedan starseed, channel, and author of the books The Era of the True Creator (2018) and Ecstatic Playground (2023). After experiencing a profound awakening in 2012, Allison began spontaneously channeling and receiving visions of the world to come. She left her former life to integrate these higher frequency downloads, and eventually began teaching and channeling for others. Allison now offers channeled transmissions, activations, and guidance worldwide, to assist in our current global awakening.

The Art of Noticing: How to take control of your own attention and use it for good – with Rob Walker
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How can the simple act of paying attention make you more creative and spark joy in your every day life? Rob Walker, the acclaimed author of "The Art of Noticing," is here to show you how to use your attention to sharpen your senses, attune to your inner creator, and uncover hidden beauty and meaning in everyday moments. During the interview, we discuss one of my favorite exercises for honing your observational skills, The Color Walk, and how you can begin to use it to engage your own Art of Noticing. Rob emphasizes how this simple (and fun!) challenge can help us slow down, pay attention, and savor the richness of the present moment. Rob also shares his passion for demystifying mindfulness practices, highlighting how accessing the benefits of presence does NOT require you to be a perfect yogi or a meditation guru (or even a breathworker!) Though I am a breathwork facilitator and teach some of the more "intensive" mindfulness practices, I am in complete agreement with him on this and a big advocate for incorporating mindfulness in the ways that feel great to you! One of the most practice applications of The Art of Noticing that I use in my coaching is supporting people in discerning what is meaningful to them – which is an underlying theme Rob mentions in the episode. Whether you're an artist, a business professional, or simply someone seeking a more meaningful existence, this conversation will help you untether the creative inside of you. Listen to this episode to hear: Why paying attention pays off. How simple creative exercises can train your brain in mindfulness. How noticing the world around you can support you in becoming more creative. Why the things that only you notice are where you should be paying the most attention. After listening to this episode: Take yourself on a Color Walk! Use the Art of Noticing to start noticing things that bring you joy. The big, important question from this episode: Is chili a soup? (What do you think?)

How to become your own hero – with Ashley Meyer
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, sometimes the greatest hero you can have is the one within yourself. In the eyes of today's guest, Ashley Meyer, it's about dang time you started believing in it. "You have a gift that they world desperately needs. Just because you wonder whether it's needed or not doesn't invalidate it. You are so needed." Get ready for an episode that is going to plug you into your own magic, because this message pretty much summarizes this episode with Ashley, who is a proud supporter of the hero you see when you look in the mirror every day. In this conversation, we explore the notion that each of us has the potential to unleash your inner gifts and use them to be of service to the world. We chat about the importance of self-belief and compassion as Ashley shares practical strategies to build the confidence to be your full, vulnerable, and authentic self. Listen to this episode to hear: Affirmation that your gifts are SO much more needed than your mind might be telling you. Quotable: "Decide that your voice is needed, because it is." "It's you. It's always been you. No one else holds a candle to what you bring." Ask yourself: "Does this thought make me feel good?" If not, choose another thought that does. "Who you are and what you bring to the world is a gift. The secret is to believe in who you actually are for long enough to offer those gifts." "No one wants a perfect hero. That's a boring movie!" Takeaways from this episode: Start with one person, and focus on deeply serving them. Be okay with being in process. Take personal responsibility. Where are you outsourcing your power?

How to make hard decisions and live an authentic life
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How do you make a hard decision, and feel good about it? It's easy to get caught up in the things you think you "should" be doing and end up designing a life on someone else's terms. As someone who has completely reinvented her career three times over, I understand the guts it takes to untether yourself from relational, cultural, and societal expectations so you can choose your authentic path. Still, there's been one spot where I've been tethered for nearly 20 years: the decision not to have children. As a Midwestern Catholic girl, making this choice felt shameful. Like I was turning my back on all women everywhere, choosing not to enjoy the full fruits of the experience I'm meant to have. I have long felt like something is wrong with me for not desiring to go that route with my life. This shame kept me in limbo. While knowing I was making a decision that was aligned for me, I held a low grade fever of potential regret. Maybe, someday , I'll regret this. And so, while I knew the right choice, and was continuing to make that choice day-to-day, I kept the door cracked open. Until now. And sure, I'm 40 and the time clock is ticking, which certainly is a forcing mechanism, but my husband and I have finally made the very solid decision that kids are 100% off the table, now and forever. Guess what I feel? F-R-E-E. There was so much internal struggle on this choice, and once I made it, I feel absolute freedom, and peace. The shame I felt around it is gone, because I know the freedom it brought me. You see, the feelings in your body don't lie, and I know to trust this feeling of freedom in my own body.

How to intentionally craft a life you love – with Anna K Morris
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Anna K Morris spent her early career living she thought was an "idyllic" life. She had an amazing job in New York City, an enviable boyfriend, she was traveling and living the life she thought would bring her true happiness. The problem was – it didn't. In this episode, Anna takes us through her own untethering, where she shares how she unraveled the "dream" life – which had actually turned out to be a nightmare – and rebuilt a life that is in alignment and in true integrity for herself. Similar to how I have spent the last decade shedding the things I "thought" would make me happy, living the life I "thought" I should be living so I can live a life that's true to me, Anna discovered the things that truly make her happy and fulfilled. Today, Anna uses her many years of experience to support others through this process as a mindset and journaling coach. Anna and I met at a retreat in Boca Raton, Florida, and we had a conversation there that is transparent and real as this one. We wanted to bring that same energy forth for you to be part of this conversation today, and we hope you enjoy and take something away from it! Takeaways: When you feel like life is not working, even if you don't know what is wrong or why it feels that way, it's time to start journaling and looking inward. Release the morality around your thoughts and decisions. Everything is not good or bad, it simply "is." Self work has a ripple effect. Allow it to shift you away from a desire to manipulate the people around you and, instead, become the change yourself. When things get too serious, invite play and curiosity. Self-development work gets to be fun! Listen to this episode to hear: How getting curious is the pathway to a new and more aligned life Why our only job is to make ourselves feel good, and no one else How to accept radical self-responsibility Why being out of integrity with yourself creates situations in your life that aren't working – and what to do about it Connect with Anna Website: AnnaKMorris.com Learn about Anna's Reconnect 12-week coaching program Books mentioned in this episode: You Can Heal Your Life by Louis Hay The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Women-F

It's time to embrace your unique brilliance
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! You are brilliant. You’re doing awesome. You’re a freaking star. There’s nothing that you’ve done wrong. Every experience you've ever had in your life has led you exactly to this perfect place on your journey. Isn't that amazing? There is so much that makes each of us unique, exceptional, and truly brilliant. All it takes is a single moment of presence for you to feel into this. And yet, when is the last time you did? So often, we spend our time in the churn of our surface-level emotions. It can be easy to get caught believing that these emotions is all that you are. But, if you were an ocean, this would be like believing that the wild waves that make up a mere 1% of you is all that exists! There is a magnificent body of water below that top 6 feet of rough churn, and in this space, it is peaceful and serene. The same is true for you. Like the ocean, you have boundless brilliance within you. It's time to start becoming present with it so you can tap into it. In this Thursday Thread episode, we pull a piece out of Reg Mahotra's episode from Tuesday where he speaks about feeling into your future self today. This is a key part of calling in the life that you truly desire. The more you can allow yourself to FEEL your manifestations right now in the present, the more magnetic you become to them. The more you feel into your peace and brilliance, the more you naturally believe it. It's pretty easy to believe something when you can physically feel the sensations of it in your body!

How to amuse yourself more than you abuse yourself
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Do you ever find yourself having self-deprecating thoughts? You're not alone. When we really stop to notice it, most people note that their internal dialogue is ... not very kind. Any mindset coach will tell you the impact of negative self-talk. The implications of internal verbal abuse are genuinely dire when it comes to your desire to achieve your dreams because of the subconscious negative patterns and beliefs it creates. So, how do we flip this internal script? In this Thursday Thread episode, I pull a thread from the previous episode featuring Kristy Mandour where she shares the phrase, "Amuse yourself more than you abuse yourself.*" This playful phrase is potent, reminding us of the importance of levity and fun – even to get us through the most challenging times. When you shift into the energy of silliness, laughter, fun, and play, you are less likely to speak to yourself in a negative tone. You are also tapping into your own inner creativity – which is an act of love. When you catch yourself guilting yourself or worrying about how you're "wasting time" and "should be" doing other things, try creating personas to represent this pieces of yourself, while leaning into your natural aptitude for fun and creativity. Listen this episode to hear: What do you when you have internal abusive thoughts. How to personify the pieces and parts of yourself who sometimes annoy you by turning these personalities into characters. How creating characters representing the negative voices in your head can bring levity and joy to your everyday life AND help you make genuine strides toward your goals Why creating a cast of characters is similar to tools like breathwork and meditation in that it provides space between yourself and your flurry of thoughts Questions posed in this episode: What is that thing that really gets in your way sometimes (worry, anger, guilt, procrastination, etc)? What is a character from film, TV, or a celebrity who comes to mind who represents that personality? *Remember that it's essential to prioritize your well-being and engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. If you find yourself abusing yourself in any way, whether physically or emotionally, seek help and support from professionals or support networks to address the underlying issues. Your health and happiness should always be a top priority. **The quote "Amuse yourself more than you abuse yourself" came from the episode featuring Kristy Mandour. She heard this quote from Jakki Leonardini who learned it from her mentor. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

In his latest book " Gonzo Capitalism: How to make money in an economy that hates you ," Chris teaches you how to create new paths to prosperity that you never knew existed – and to do it in a way that uses your unique interests, skills, and abilities. In his book, Chris talks about how traditional ways of earning a living are outdated and encourages us to look at a variety of enterprising individuals who are turning to the growing ecosystem of creator-focused, decentralized, fast-moving virtual markets to find new and creative ways to make a living. Chris himself is proof of his message, having used his skills and creativity to craft a life where he writes, travels, and crafts huge community gatherings for a living. In this conversation, we discuss some of the things holding many talented individuals back from creating successful businesses, and what we can do to shift into creators at the helm of the new money revolution. I hope this conversation leaves you with a desire to consider how you, too, can turn your time, talents, and creativity into income — and to do it on your own terms.

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What do you want to know about breathwork? I asked you to share your deepest questions about breathwork, and in this episode, I do my best to share the most important and interesting information in response! This episode begins with a mini breathwork session, followed by a breakdown of many aspects involved in breathwork – including why I chose the breath pattern I chose and the various ways breathwork can support your nervous system. The most frequently asked question was in regard to the nervous system and how using your breath can support you in coming out of dysregulation. Listen in to hear: How breathwork supports your nervous system health Why deep breathing decreases the over-activation of the amygdala (or fear center of your brain), why it lowers stress hormones like epinephrine and cortisol, and how it activates the prefrontal cortex of your brain to help you focus and become present. Ways in which breathwork can help you more effectively manage and cope with your emotions. How breathwork can potentially support you in safely processing and releasing traumatic memories through non-judgmental self-presence. Why you might choose one breath pattern over another. How breathwork pairs with meditation. If you have further questions about breathwork, please send them into me to hello@jenliss.com Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Moving forward toward your dreams while building confidence AND dealing with doubt is an art. An art that gets to be fun! In this episode, I delve into a great question from a coaching client regarding a lack of self-belief and wavering confidence and whether or not we can conquer this. While I believe there is no way to "do away" with self-doubt (in fact, I assert that it's a healthy part of the human condition), I share some effective strategies and actionable insights to help you unleash your inner confidence and stride forward with confidence – with your self-doubt by your side. Truly, doubt never goes away. We will always experience rocky moments on our journey to our most impactful and fulfilling life. But approaching these moments with curiosity, and leaning into feelings like fun and joy rather than doubt and disbelief, will ultimately help you gain the courage to move forward. And it is in the moving forward where confidence is truly born!

Hey, unicorn. Stop comparing yourself to others!
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! You may have heard the phrase, "comparison is the thief of joy." Well, it's also the thief of your unique, sparkly magic. In Tuesday's episode with Suzanna Helia, she shared the importance of not comparing yourself to others – and ESPECIALLY those within your same category. This is applicable whether you're a CEO of a business, an entrepreneur, small business owner, a mom, a corporate manager, or any other role you happen to be engaging in right now. When you constantly compare yourself, you will find yourself focusing on the things you feel like you lack rather than appreciating the gifts you already have inside of you, your achievements, and the positive aspects of your current situation. Comparison can lead to feelings of jealousy or envy, self-doubt, and a sense that you're not measuring up. This puts you straight into the snake pit, where you are poisoned by negativity and fear. In this place, you are robbed of your own joy and satisfaction that you could otherwise experience by embracing your own incredible unique gifts, talents, experiences, and essentially the magic of your own journey. You cannot access creativity here. It doesn't exist in the snake pit. Joy is your strategy. When you find yourself in the comparison snake pit, turn back toward things that bring you fun and enthusiasm.

How to become unapologetically successful - with Suzanna Helia
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever heard of the fear of success? This is a psychological phenomenon where people experience feelings of fear, apprehension, or discomfort in response to the possibility of achieving their goals, realizing their ambitions, or reaching a high level of success. This fear might manifest in various ways and can have a significant impact on a person's behavior, choices, and overall well-being – and it's often rooted in negative beliefs. For example, the belief that successful or wealthy people are selfish, entitled, or inherently "bad." Suzanna Helia started a podcast and brand completely about this topic, to encourage more women, businesses, and people all around the world to aspire to their greatest potential. In her eyes, if you succeed, you do not need to apologize or make yourself small for others who reach the same level. Suzanna was born in Czechoslovakia, and as a teenager, made the decision to leave the country to go to somewhere where she felt more free. In this episode, she also tells a story of breaking out of school as a young child. She’s definitely a rebel, and unapologetically her successful self. In this episode, we talk about: The importance of OWNING the vision for your life, dreaming big, and choosing to believe it is possible. Why we can’t give our energy to other people and expect them to see it a certain way. How to stop comparing yourself with your peers, and why fitting into the mold of others keeps you from achieving your greatest success. Why whatever you believe IS actually possible for yourself — and the truth behind the phrase "if you own it, you can create it." Meet Suzanna Helia Suzanna Helia's mission revolves around guiding businesses on a journey to becoming beacons of inspiration for billions. Together, she unveils hidden potential and embraces opportunities once thought unattainable. Witnessing the spark of victory in others' eyes and the tranquillity of fulfillment in their hearts fuels her purpose.

Say yes to a new you (despite what other people might think)
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! About 330 billion cells are replaced in your body every, single day. And every 80-100 days, 30 trillion cells are completely replenished. In three months, you are a completely new you. You are not the same person who you used to be. Down to the cellular level. And yet, we feel extreme fear over stepping into a new version of ourselves. While we desire and yearn to grow, a lot of us are totally tethered by thoughts like, "What will my sister think?" "What will my boss think?" "I'm not the kind of person who would do that." We have to be brave if we want to grow. It's genuinely scary to repot ourselves into new soil. And that's pretty weird, because what we truly desire is the freedom to grow boundlessly. We need the spaciousness to grow, and we're terrified of it. On your growth journey, you're being called to untether from an old you, an identity that is not serving your current self, so you can make room for something new. And hell yeah, this is really uncomfortable. Because you aren't that old "you" anymore. Today, and every 90 days, you are something entirely new. Still, even as you become a new person, your mind will fight growth at every turn. To your old, memorized state of being, it totally feels safe to keep being the person who doesn't feel like "you" anymore. The idea of people wondering about the change you're experiencing, who you really are, or who you are becoming is the Tether of all Tethers. In this episode, I also share about my choice not to have children, and how I have long felt shame around my own childless identity – which I have chosen. I've been afraid to really own her for quite a while, feeling like she's less of a person because she chose a different path than what the former "me" had learned to desire to be. Allowing ourselves room for growth and expansion and saying yes to the new you isn't easy. The mind wants to hang on. But it is possible when we allow ourselves to be present with who we are – and to detach from the outcome of how others mind react when they find out the truth of the person who we really are today.

Believe in the possibility of your own expansion – with Taqdees Razzaq
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How do you stop doubt from holding you back from the life you desire to live? You learn to believe in the possibility of your own expansion. Taqdees Razzaq is here to help you do exactly that, helping women to step into their power in their most true and authentic way. She calls us toward love and away from fear. She calls for us to step away from scarcity – and into abundance. Taqdees has been incredibly pivotal in my personal expansion over the past year, and I'm thrilled for you to get to meet her. In this episode, we each talk about calling ourselves forward into new identities, shedding past things that aren't serving us anymore, and some of the struggles we face with saying "yes" to our next level. How we tether ourselves by trying to fit into boxes and how stepping out of those boxes is what we need in order to become the powerful creators we were truly born to be. We also discuss the unique gifts and purpose you have, and how those gifts are fulfilling your purpose right now. As she shares, it's the ongoing pursuit of your dreams that truly makes life meaningful and fulfilling. Meet Taqdees Razzaq With just 300 followers, Taqdees Razzaq started her business WowMeem selling authentic clothing from Pakistan on Facebook Marketplace, making over $30,000 in year one, $60,000 in year two and now towards the end of the third year it is now due to hit the 6-figure mark in coming months. Along with the freedom this company has given her family, she also understands the need for boundaries, flexibility, and positive social impact. As a master of impact, she has conceived, designed, and established two global non-profits in the past year, Lets Come Forward, providing meals for impoverished families in Pakistan and Peace of the Heart Movement, a sisterhood for the expansion of divine feminine leadership to magnify global peace. She believes every entrepreneur has the possibility of giving back to society and doing so is the most fulfilling feeling imaginable.

How to stop worry from blocking your joy
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How much do you worry? Worry is a disruptive force that has a tendency to consume our lives. Even when we know we're worrying, we start to worry about worrying. Then worry about how much we're worrying about not worrying. Can you relate? It's natural to worry, of course. It keeps us alive! Still, most of us know we could be worrying a little less, and it can be quite challenging to stop this force once it's rolling. In this episode, I share a story about a lavender field I recently visited, and how, when I arrived for a seemingly *magical* experience, the entire landscape was covered in one of my greatest fears: BEES. Worry alert: Triggered. In a moment where worry threatened to take control, I walk you through how I realized what was happening, coaxed myself out of the stress and worry-filled state, and back into the joy of the present moment. At the end of the episode, I also share a very simple, somatic and breathwork exercise you can do when worry begins to hijack your joyful experience. Enjoy!

The secret to overcoming fear and doubt (hint: it's pretty fun!)
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! I was on a rad new podcast last week, and it was such a fun interview that I asked the lovely Cheryl Fischer if we could cross-post it to my own podcast! She pulled out some great nuggets in me that I don't always get to on my own, which is a big nod to the power of a great and aligned collaboration. So, in case you didn't catch this episode when I shared it on social media last week, here it is in an easy-to-listen way! In this episode, Cheryl and I talk about FUN as a strategy for getting yourself out of all of the crap you feel currently trapped in – like a job you hate, a "bleh" feeling about life in general, getting stuck in the past, or even continuous bouts future-tripping. Joy is your strategy, and I'll tell ya why! We talk about emotions like worry and guilt and how they are signals that you might have flipped your Joy Breaker, one of my favorite concepts to teach when I coach clients. I'd also love to highlight the fab job Cheryl did leading this interview, doing so with great curiosity and wonder. We could all add a bit more of that to our lives by following her example. You can also see how much FUN she is having in this interview (and with her new podcast in general.)

Finding clarity, even in uncertainty
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! My husband and I learned how to wind surf this weekend, and it offered us some powerful reflections on resilience, but I also realized what an amazing metaphor it is for following your intended life path. Which makes this a perfect #ThursdayThread episode to reflect on what Felicia Bender shared on Tuesday about following your purpose. Like learning to balance on a surf board while trying to learn how to pivot with the changing winds, following our purpose is not always easy. It can be outright frustrating at times! But the truth is that, like Felicia shared, it's supposed to give us little opportunities to be challenged and to pivot along the way, because that's how we learn to hone our skills, lean deeper into our flow, and allow our sails to catch so we can truly fly. It can also help to have tools that support us along the way, and knowing your numerology life path can be one of them! I recommend looking up and calculating your own numerology life path and reflecting on what it could offer you in terms of understanding both your light and dark sides. Our intended path is to lean into the ease and flow - the lightness. But we will always face resistance and challenges along the way - our shadow side. The shadow is here to increase our capacity for more and more light, so the difficulties we face are actually supportive to helping us grow! I look forward to hearing what you think, and please let me know if you've ever wind surfed. It was so much fun but also hard. ha! Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

Tapping into the power of your feminine energy
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! This Thursday thread pulls out a theme from Tuesday's episode (S4 Ep. 55) featuring Gina Moon as I dive into the potentially "taboo" topic of pleasure and the power of embodying the feminine energy. If the idea of "pleasure" feels taboo or triggering to you (in fact, I'm beginning to think that anything that's "taboo" is something to untether ourselves from), allow yourself to turn inward with curiosity. Why does this trigger me? Where do I feel emotion in my body when this topic arises? How do those emotions feel? Do this with utter curiosity and as judgment-free as possible. I also speak in this episode about how embracing my feminine power has offered me some major personal shifts in the past six months or so, and how allowing and embracing the power of extended joy and pleasure can help you make major moves toward achieving your dreams in the most easeful ways. This is because embracing the feminine energy allows you to magnetize what is a match, so it comes TO you, instead of working so hard FOR it. (Choose and it arrives.) In fact, and as I describe in the episode, it's a misnomer that the strongest sperm wins the fight to the egg. Believe it or not, the egg actually chooses the sperm, and she allows her selection to come in. We've been living from this place of masculine "push" for a long time, and the pendulum is beginning to swing back. By prioritizing and tapping into your own feminine power, you can avoid burnout by choosing what is truly pleasurable to you and allowing life to unfold in the way that is in alignment for you. In summary, embracing pleasure and stepping into your feminine power can help you manifest your dreams and desires, align to your purpose, and promote greater overall well-being.

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What if you could stop working so hard to create a life you love, and instead, use pleasure ? Yep, you heard that right!

That's why, in this episode, she unlocks the secrets of pleasure, and shares why it's such a powerful manifesting tool.

Embracing imperfection and how to let go through self-acceptance
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Are you a procrastinator? A perfectionist? Does fear get in your way? When we notice these "flaws" or "dragons" within ourselves, we will often try to push them away. But what if – instead of slaying your dragons – you invite them over for tacos? Shaming our flaws has long been an integral part of the self-development world. In fact, I was just introduced to a book yesterday where the author encouraged personifying your flaws as a villain and then consistently hunting down and killing that villain every day. I completely disagree with this approach. The healthiest, most enjoyable, and most lasting approach to dealing with the most challenging parts of your personality? Accept them. Be compassionate with them. Love them. Realize they are, in fact, your super power.

You come first, and why prioritizing your self-care matters - with Amanda Hallam
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How do you prioritize your self care while continuing to step into your life's work? Amanda Hallam is a true unicorn who has been called to use her creative gifts in many ways. We've been working together for the past year as she steps further into her purpose to support others with their self care, through her business Modern Self-Care. Along the way, she has learned to lean into her joy – even when facing challenging questions and uncovering old beliefs she held in her mind and body. We've previously spoken about reiki on the podcast, and my newfound love and appreciation for the modality. In addition to coaching people in supportive self care practices, Amanda is also a reiki master whose gifts I have experienced first-hand. I felt called to introduce my community to her as a trusted resource for energy healing. She's an amazing talent, and I'm thrilled for her to offer her reiki gifts to clients in my upcoming program, Made for More. Enjoy this episode, and reflect for yourself: What old stories or limiting beliefs could be stopping me from fully stepping into my gifts? What is one simple self-care practice I can add into my day today that makes me feel joyful? SPECIAL DEAL: Use the code UNTETHERED for 20% off a Reiki session with Amanda here GET TO KNOW: AMANDA HALLAM Hey, I'm Amanda! I'm a self-care advocate, empowerment coach, and Reiki Master. I founded Modern Self-Care because I know what it feels like to put everyone else ahead of myself. I understand that not having your needs met can lead you to believe you just shouldn't have any in the first place. For most of my life I thought that success meant devoting 100% of yourself to the external: work, family, friends, and other responsibilities. It took multiple cases of burnout to realize that without my own health - both physical and mental - I would never truly be successful. Having had a front-row seat to the collapse of my own self-care routine, I realized something: The quality of your life is directly proportional to the quality of your self-care. And while it takes years to recover from burnout, it only takes a few minutes a day to develop a life-saving self-care practice. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

What to do when you hit a dip
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever had a one of those moments where things are going so well, then all of a sudden, you get your knees knocked out from underneath you? This crash that happens after a super joyful moment in our lives is a very real phenomenon, and it happens WAY more often than most of us realize. Many people call this experience a “dip” and – while it’s a normal part of growth – it can feel like it derails our progress. The cool thing is that, if you turn inward with curiosity instead of judging yourself or worrying, it could help you propel yourself to yet another level. Here’s why a dip happens: We all know that – in order for us to survive – humans learned to fear things like tigers or getting burned by fire. As wild as it sounds, we also learn the opposite. Yep, we learn to fear our own boundless capacity for joy, love, and abundance. These parameters are passed down to us from our families and communities, and we are rarely conscious of them unless we do awareness work to unveil them. Depending on your unique genetic makeup, circumstances, life experiences, and many other factors, you have been conditioned that it is only safe to feel a certain amount of joy and love. So, when you have an amazing experience like a moment where you manifest something you’ve been desiring, your Joy Breaker Box flips and you may spiral into an anxious puddle. This happened to me this week, and in this episode, I share what happened and what I did to reset my breaker box and reset my capacity for joy to an even greater amount.

How to find safety in uncertainty
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever had a time when things are going really well for you, and then a feeling of dread swoops in and knocks you off your feet? So you find yourself riddled with fear or worry, waiting for the next shoe to drop - when you'd rather be enjoying your current expansion or joyful experience? A recent coaching client shared this question with me (thank you, Amanda), and it relates to Tuesday's episode with Erin where she talks about finding the magic in the uncertainty of life. So, in this Thursday Thread episode, I explore the question: How can we find a balance between embracing uncertainty and seeking stability? There are two sides of your mind that are always at work: The one who wants to keep you safe, and the one who is seeking new, amazing growth and experiences. An awesome thing happens when we can create spaciousness for both of these things to coexist in harmony, allowing ourselves to make educated decisions we feel great about while enjoying our current, present reality. Expanding your window of tolerance by regularly engaging in practices that regulate your nervous system is a key strategy that allows you to embrace the magic in uncertainty, while ensuring your mind, body, and heart know you are physically and emotionally safe. Finding safety in uncertainty can be challenging, I'll admit. It's why I coach using tools that support you with this! Remember that all of this is a process that requires patience, self-awareness, and an open mindset. It may not always be easy, but with practice and being open to support on your journey, you can develop resilience and navigate your life with a greater focus on joy so you can be open to receiving the most aligned opportunities.

What is a healing journey, anyway?
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What the heck is a healing journey, anyway? In this episode, Jen speaks openly and honestly about what it means to be on a healing journey. She defines what it means to be on one, the symptoms or signs that you might be on one (or ready for it!), and some suggestions of what your next steps might be to begin healing. What I want you to know, above all else, is that healing is not linear, and it is absolutely normal. While we may feel shame or judgment as we step into our healing journey, this is also normal. Our societal and relational norms have been placed on us for a reason - we've been conditioned to behave in certain ways...but these ways might not be in accordance with who you truly are. This causes pain, and eventually, death by a thousand paper cuts. Find environments that help you feel safe and secure to heal. Seek out trustworthy friends, coaches, and mentors who can support you on the journey. You are not alone, and you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Move forward with the power of the mind-body connection
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you tried all the mindset strategies, but still can't seem to make progress? It's time to come back into your body. The mind-body connection is a fundamental aspect of our overall well-being and holds the key to unlocking our full potential. It refers to the intricate, innate flow between our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, illustrating how closely linked our mental and physical states truly are. Unfortunately, many of us are unaware of this connection and how to use to live more joyful and conscious lives. I am passionate about sharing my own experiences and knowledge to help others embark on their own transformative journeys. You, too, can tap into the transformative benefits of deepening your mind-body connection , unlocking new levels of well-being, self-discovery, and personal growth. In the episode, I share a few techniques to bring yourself into the present moment: Rub two fingers together, focusing feeling the ridges on your fingerprints Feel each of your 10 toes, one at a time Focus your attention on the furthest sound away from you, then a sound that's closer to you, and finally, on the closest sound I also teach "havening," a somatic practice that allows you to signal safety to your nervous system. To haven: Lightly rub the fingers on one hand on the other arm, beginning with the fingertips and moving down to the elbow. R Say a phrase to yourself that signals safety, like, "It is safe for me to do hard things" or "I am safe to move forward on my dreams." These are simple ways to reform mind-body connections and increase your window of tolerance, allowing you to move forward toward your goals without hitting road blocks.

How to go from busy to balanced – with Charis Santillie
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Are you seeking balance in your life? Do you feel like there's so much to do, but not enough time? Today's guest, Charis Santillie is here to help. As a coach, podcaster, inspirational speaker, and all-around seasoned entrepreneur, she knows what it's like to be born with ambition – and how, when left unchecked, it can lead to a lack of balance in your day-to-day life. When she was only 19, Charis was in a traumatic hot air balloon crash with her family that left her Dad paralyzed with a broken neck and led her Mom to become an alcoholic. After that, Charis lived her life feeling unsafe, unconsciously scared of everything, and always bracing for impact. For much of her life, Charis chose to avoid feelings and managed her INTERNAL crisis by staying ridiculously BUSY—giving the illusion of control. In this episode, she shares how we use control to bypass our own feelings, and even though in some ways it's easier to stay shut down from our emotions, why we should wake up and start feeling them. This is a beautiful conversation about how peeling back the layers of yourself to heal can be challenging, but why it's so worth it so we can more deeply connect with our personal sense of joy, love, and passion. We all experience events in our lives that cause us pain or disruption, but Charis shares that - despite what life gives you – there is always a way to reserve personal space, balance your needs and wants, and live a fulfilled life on your terms. Meet Charis Santillie Charis is a Life Balance Coach, Certified Fearless Living® Coach, Certified Fearless Trainer, Positive Intelligence® Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, and Entrepreneur who teaches people how to heal your life, take back control, and change your energy for the betterment of yourself and the world.

Start living a life that's true to you
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Are you living your life based on others' expectations? If so, you're not alone. In fact, it's the top regret of all humans! In her book, "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying," which is on her experiences with terminally ill patients, Bronnie Ware cites that the top regret faced by those at the end of their lives is: "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." So, if you feel this way – it's normal. But that doesn't mean it's okay! Humans crave love, and so belonging is really important to us. We want to be understood, cared for, connected, and protected. Unfortunately, this need can leave us bending to the will of what we *think* others want from us, while completely leaving our own wants, needs, and desires in the dust. Most people spend their lives pursuing the expectations and opinions of others rather than following their own dreams and desires. We make sacrifices to meet societal or familial expectations, such as pursuing a particular career path, staying in unfulfilling relationships, or neglecting personal aspirations. At the end of life (or in the middle!) this make us feel like we've missed opportunities and unfulfilled our potential. The time to untether from others' expectations and to start living up to your own is not when you are on your death bed. It is right NOW. Start prioritizing your own happiness, authenticity, and personal fulfillment today. Make choices that align with your inner truth. Start identifying and releasing the tethers of codependency for the betterment of yourself and those around you. Now, admittedly, this is a journey. Freeing yourself from the burden of other people's expectations takes time and practice. Be patient and compassionate with yourself as you work towards prioritizing your own well-being and living a more authentic life. In case you're curious, here are the top five regrets outlined in Ware's book: "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." "I wish I hadn't worked so hard." "I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings." "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends." "I wish I had let myself be happier."

How to make great decisions, faster
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Is it hard for you to make a decision? Do you get caught up in which way to go, hemming and hawing until the last second — and then sometimes make a snap judgment you later regret? Do you fuss and worry and feel guilty during and after a decision is made? Believe me, I’ve done all of the above, but it doesn’t have to be this way! There are two culprits who are responsible for this scenario, and you’re probably allowing both of them to live rent-free inside your head. They are The Perfectionist and The Kindergartner, and when left unchecked, these two troublemakers can be a real nuisance. In this episode, I share how you can work with the Kindergartner and Perfectionist to make decisions that are aligned to your highest and best — all while following a simple structure that will speed up the process so you can make more informed and aligned decisions, faster than ever before. The process: 1. Decide 2. Take Action 3. Reflect (get self feedback) 4. Repeat Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level? Join us at Island Awakening in Saint Martin from June 4-8, 2025 !

How to overcome doubt with belief
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Do you ever find yourself crippled with doubt? Unable to make a decision or move forward because you can't muster the courage? If this is true for you, please have some compassion for yourself. Doubt is a massive tether. It's a strong protective mechanism, intended to keep you from things that could hurt you. The problem is, doubt is often not as necessary as it thinks it is. So, how do you conquer doubt? When faced with doubt while trying to move forward or manifest something into their lives, people will often default to "hoping it will happen." This does not work. Hope does have enough gusto to yank the tether of doubt. It's like trying to lift a basket with a single birthday balloon. So, what WILL yank the tether of doubt up and out of the ground? BELIEF. The shift that happens in the human body when we switch from the disempowered feeling of hope to full-bodied belief is one of the most powerful things on Earth. Belief is like a giant hot air balloon that will lift you up into the sky, soaring to uncharted and amazing places. So, next time you're beginning to doubt that there's something you can do, have, or manifest - remember that hope is not the answer. When it comes to conquering doubt, belief is the way. Try the Feeling Belief exercise from this episode: Think of something you want Imagine what it will feel like to have that thing Notice the feelings you feel in your body when you feel it Allow yourself to really feel those feelings Repeat regularly!

Why selfishness is the path to happiness - with Pascale Cook-Fernandes
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Do you feel like your desires are selfish? Or maybe you even struggle clearly see what your desires are? This is so much more normal than you think! Pascale Cook-Fernandes is on the podcast today to share why selfishness is the key to helping us find clarity of purpose, desires, and ultimately, our path to fulfillment. We talk about how, as women, we give ourselves away to other people, and how that sense of belonging to others can leave us feeling lost – almost like we don't even know who we are. When it comes to finding meaningful work, a job we love, a business that thrives, or fulfilling relationships, this lack of knowing ourselves is detrimental to our happiness. Pascale tells us why coming into resonance with our true selves is the key to finding clarity and joy on our paths, and how loving is the ultimate way. Listen to this episode to hear: Why being SELF-ish is essential for your ability to show up for others Why women give their power away, and how to take it back How energy work can help you find the clarity you're seeking How to make decisions that are aligned to you Meet Pascale Cook-Fernandes Pascale Cook-Fernandes supports women to find their true happiness from within, so they can cultivate a truly happy life they love! She is owner and Happiness Coach at Women Finding Clarity, and host of The Happiness Workshop podcast. She knows that happiness cannot be found in the external, that’s why Pascale has used her experiences as a teacher, Reiki Master and happiness coach to create her signature programs, Jumpstart Your Joy and The Happiness Workshop. When she’s not supporting other women to find their own clarity, Pascale can be found collecting beach treasures on the beaches of Cape Cod, and spending time with her husband and three children.

Step out of limitation and into possibility
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Do you feel tethered to a life that doesn't light you up? This feeling is so dang normal. And yet, it's exactly what's keeping you stuck. That's because the more time you spend focused on things you don't want, the more you are digging yourself into the discomfort of your current experience. It is SO possible for you to soar into the most amazing possibilities and to leave this current, tethered reality behind. And it happens the moment you start looking for solutions instead of problems. Like Mr. Worldwide, Mr. 305, Miami boy till the day he dies, yes Pitbull himself says, "You've gotta go from a negative to a positive." And this happens by shifting your focus away from the stuckness and onto what lights you up. As you shift that focus, you magically unleash your gifts, and share your sparkly, creative magic with the world. You get to fly. There is so much possible for you. And yet, you're keeping yourself uncomfortable and stuck in the tethers. Take your focus away from the tethers and put it onto the joy. Stop spending your focus, attention, and time on things you've outgrown, things you've fallen out of love with, things that aren't supporting you to expand into your highest and best. You do not create from this space! Shift your energy into the things that light you up. This is how you intentionally craft a life where you step into the most amazing possibilities that you couldn't possibly imagine for yourself. Complete the activity from this episode: List 5 things you love to do, things that light you up Write down the feelings you experience while doing each of those things Notice overlap and whittle these feelings to a small list of 5-7 Focus on feeling each of these feelings every day Watch the tethers fall away Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

5 fear-based behaviors that might be holding you back
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Let’s talk about fear. But not your average fears — those sneaky, sneaky snake fears that like to disguise themselves as bad habits. While you may know that you want to usher in a magical, majestic life filled with cool accomplishments and freedom and passion and impact and love, fear does not want that. Fear wants THIS life. Yeah, that current life (which is still pretty magical and majestic when we stop paying attention to fear, but that’s for another episode!!) In THIS episode, I’m going to break down 5 behaviors that you might not realize are fear-based. If you resonate with these, they’re stopping you from something juicy. So listen up to this episode, if you see yourself doing any of them: Procrastinating or putting things off Obsessive learning, rarely doing Jealousy or self-pity Not enough time Asking everyone for advice, and nothing helps you gain clarity Sneaky, sneaky snakes. Always remember that you cannot fully conquer these fears from the mind and belief work. They’re living in your body, and you do need both. 🤍 I’ll follow up on this episode with some somatic tools you can use to release fear!

Be weird. Be you.
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What if what made you weird as a kid makes you amazing as an adult?! I recently heard someone say this, and it’s so true. The weird things that lit you up as a child are a clue to your unique and remarkable magic. Especially the things people might have told you are odd, or made you feel like you didn’t fit in. Unfortunately, because our education system and work environments prize and reward conformity and assimilation, we choose to suppress our extraordinary “weird.” In an environment where sameness is rewarded, being different feels extremely unsafe. And humans SO deeply crave belonging. The good news is, because you made a choice (either conscious or subconscious) to suppress your weird, you also get to choose to uncover it. To shine it up, and to wear it proudly! So today, consider: - What lit me up as a kid? - What made me feel weird? - How can I wear that weird a bit more proudly in the world today?

Getting untethered with hypnotherapy – with Tarla Makaeff
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever tried hypnotherapy? Are you curious about it, or maybe even a bit wary of it? For many reasons, including that "wary" feeling many folks have about hypnosis, I'm super excited to have an expert come on the podcast to speak about this final piece of the Untethered Practices series. Welcome back to the podcast life coach and certified hypnotherapist, Tarla Makaeff, who has allowed me to dive deep with her on an "ask me anything, hypnotherapy." In this episode, she shares what hypnotherapy is, why someone might use it, how it's done, and when it can be supportive. She also takes time to candidly break down some of the misconceptions about hypnotherapy. As for my own hypno experience, I've personally leveraged this practice in my own untethering journey, and it has helped me delve into my subconscious and reprogram some old beliefs and behaviors that were not coherent with my current and conscious values, motivations, and beliefs. Like all the other practices discussed in this series, I'm an advocate for reaching out to an expert who can guide you through it – if and when it feels supportive to you. Would love to hear if you've tried hypnotherapy, and what you think about it if you have! My email and social links are below. To learn more about Tarla and her self-love coaching, you can listen to Season 3, episode 22 where she shares more about her passion for supporting women in business.

Getting untethered with: Meditation & Journaling
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Do you meditate? How about journaling? If you avoid these practices, you're not alone. However – it is absolutely time to stop avoiding practices that that help you to quiet your mind. Here's why. In this episode, I share some of the latest evidence in neuroscience which makes a compelling case for why meditation is potentially the most powerful thing you can do to support your mental health. Particularly combined with other practices like journaling, breathwork, and/or prayer, meditation is an amazing tool for strengthening the part of your brain that makes you act less like a reactive animal and more like a compassionate, loving human. Which is – SURPRISE – what every religion has been doing for humans throughout time. In a world where so many of us have left traditional religious practices, we are no longer giving our neo-cortex a regular workout. Without the regular reps of things like ritual, prayer, and quiet contemplation, this very important part of our brain is turning to a bowl full of jelly! So. For the sake of your own humanity, please start meditating. XOXO **In this episode, I reference data from this Harvard article, a study mentioned in this article , and some takeaways in this interview with Arthur Brooks and my mentor, Cathy Heller (such a great listen.) About the Untethered Practices Series Over the past couple of weeks, I am offering a glimpse into Untethered Practices — some mindfulness, energetic, and healing modalities that may be considered “woo-woo” or fringe to some. (And by some, I mean myself, not so long ago.) The intention with this series is to give you a glimpse into what these practices are, why people do them, and to help you see if it’s something you may be curious to try! If there’s a modality you’re curious about, I’m happy to go try it and report back. Send me a message or email! (Links below) Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

Getting untethered with EFT tapping – with expert Sherry Lukey
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever tried EFT tapping? Have you heard of it? I hadn't, until I was in a coaching program where a psychologist taught us the practice. As you'll hear in this episode with Sherry Lukey, an international EFT expert, tapping is a scientifically proven way to calm your stress response, reduce anxiety, improve your performance, and even lessen cravings. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique, and it's an activity anyone can do on themselves. The structure of the process is simple – you tap, with your fingertips, on acupuncture points (called acupoints) on the hands, face. You do this while repeating phrases that help you focus on the emotion or feeling you want to resolve. It sounds so simple and feels a bit odd to do. However, it can be incredibly effective.

Getting untethered with: Breathwork
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever tried breathwork? If so, what did you think? Of all the practices we're discussing in the Untethered Practices series, this is my bread and butter. This is the one that, for me, finally pulled the thread that completely unraveled everything – in the best way possible. In this episode I'll share my personal description of what breathwork is, what it's done for me, why what it's done for me matters, and what it could possibly do for you. At the time of posting this episode, I'm exactly two weeks from obtaining my certification as a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator. This has been a six-month journey, and a pretty intensive process. I have dedicated hundreds and hundreds of hours to deeply learning, embodying, practicing, and facilitating breathwork. In many ways, this process has completely changed me. Most importantly, it's brought me back home to the person who I truly am. This is what I believe the true power of breathwork to be. I could share 250 episodes about breathwork (and I probably will!), but I'm so excited to share this inaugural episode that takes you along the journey with me.

Getting untethered with: Acupuncture
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever tried acupuncture? If so, what did you think? If not, why not? Acupuncture is definitely the most physical of the modalities we'll discuss in the Untethered Practices series (I mean we're talking about needles here!) but I think it's an important one to bring up. This is mostly because the whole needle thing can scare people away from even getting curious about it, let alone trying it. Acupuncture is a 3,000 year old Chinese medicine modality that helps balance the qi (pronounce "chee") energy that circulates through your body. In some ways reminiscent of Reiki, which we talked about last week, acupuncture is a way of redirecting and channeling energetic flow by putting needles into certain "acu points." The thinking here is that, when the qi is balanced, the heart, mind, and body are all in balance and working in harmony, as they should. As we've discussed, there is so much value in allowing ourselves to try new things. Maybe, for you, that could be acupuncture. Maybe it's something entirely different. Trying new things is an essential piece of your untethering. You can't break free of the crap that's holding you back by doing the same old same. Who knows – maybe simply allowing yourself to try something different like acupuncture could open up a whole new realm of curiosity for yourself. And you never know where that could lead!

Getting untethered with: Tarot
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever tried tarot? If so, what did you think? If not, why not? As one of the more 'mystical' practices we'll discuss in the Untethered Practices series, I believe tarot to be grossly misunderstood by anyone who fears it. I feel like I can say this because, quite clearly, this used to be me. Tarot is a self-reflective practice that can be incredibly supportive in helping you process your thoughts, understand emotions, and gain space and clarity from the swirl in your head. And – even though it has occult association and influence – those beautiful card decks we know and love today actually originated in the hands of some wealthy Italian dudes. Truly, tarot is as mystical or practical as you believe it to be (and super helpful, either way.) Whether you're a card flipping fool or simply tarot curious, this episode has something for you! Before recording the episode, I pulled some cards for the collective, so listen in so you can experience the tarot goodness and reflect on what the cards could mean for you. Enjoy!

Getting untethered with: Reiki
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Are you reiki curious? In this episode, I invite you into my (and my husband’s!) first experience with reiki that happened just this past weekend. I also share my thoughts on energy, and the power we hold in our energetic bodies. Over the next few episodes, we’ll dive into the Eastern modalities I’ve been drawn toward in the energetic, spiritual, healing and self-awareness realms: reiki, breathwork, taro, and acupuncture. I believe it’s important we normalize trying new things, even if simply for the new perspective it offers. Just like traveling somewhere that feels foreign, when we try a new healing or spiritual practice, it allows us to meet ourselves — and the world — in a new way. These practices, and being open to trying new approaches to self connection, have been a big part of my untethering. I look forward to sharing these experiences and insights with you!

How to leap, even when you're scared
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Life is a series of leaps. This is a quote Michelle Blue shared in Tuesday's episode, and I am o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d. In this episode, amongst several energetic tirades about cacti and bad jingles, I break down why it's so important that we start embracing the leap. Plus, how to reframe fear and discomfort so we can move through (and with!) them sooo much faster. Because on the other side of fear is all the juicy goodness that's waiting for you in your next leap of life. So let's leap, friend! Listen to this episode to hear: Why fear is a signal that there's something more for you. How to use those signals to leap into your next stage of amazingness. Why leaping with that fear presents gifts you can offer the world. In Thursday Threads, I pull a little piece out from the most recent guest episode.

Create your purpose-driven life – with Michelle Blue
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Could fear be the number one reason you aren't getting what you want out of life? In this episode, you'll learn how overcoming fear and self-doubt will help you take a leap into the purpose-driven life you're meant to live. Today's guest Michelle Blue is the creator and host of The Journey with Blue , where she leads conscious conversations and coaches women through sharing the spiritual, success, and mindset principles needed to step into their power to take the leap to create the life & business of their dreams. Michelle is experienced at making fear and failure her greatest teachers, and in this episode, she shares how her $40,000 failure led her to creating the purpose-driven life of her dreams – and how that journey has led her to helping others do the same. As a trained coach and experienced entrepreneur, Michelle believes there are infinite opportunities available to us all. Her desire is to share how you can overcome fear, self-doubt and failure to boldly take the leap into your purpose to make their dreams a reality. Listen to this episode to hear: How to plug int your purpose. Why fear and failure are the foundation for your transformation. Why entrepreneurship is the biggest spiritual journey you can take. What happens when your personal identity gets attached to your business – and what to do about it if it happens. Meet Michelle Blue I’m Michelle Blue, one thing that I know, is that we all have a dream within us and that if the dream is given to you, then it’s up to you to bring it forth into the world. My entrepreneurial ‘Journey’ started after a study abroad trip to Ghana. Inspired by the girls I met on the trip, I questioned “What was my part in helping them bring their dreams to life?”. Which inspired me to start Bené, a luxury scarf company committed to sponsoring tuition, books, supplies and uniforms for the girls to continue their education and follow their dreams. From my own experiences, lessons, sacrifices and failures I started The Journey with Blue to help other entrepreneurial dreamers step into their purpose and take the leap to creating the life and business of their dreams. Through my personal ‘Journey’ and as a trained coach, each conversation is rooted in the success, mindset and spiritual principles needed to become the person your purpose requires.

What lights you up?
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Do you struggle to see yourself clearly? I talk to a lot of humans about their dreams and goals, and it seems like the hardest thing for people to do is identifying what truly lights them up. Maybe you can relate. It's easy to say allll the things that don't light us up, but flipping that to the other side is a big challenge. In this episode, I'll walk you through an exercise that can help you get into both your mind and body to see and feel the things that light you up in your life. Because, like Jen Roth said in Tuesday's episode, this is where clarity truly comes from. Listen to this episode to hear: How to visually recognize if something is lighting you up Why your enthusiasm is more important than "figuring it out" Why joy is the real strategy So today, take three deep cleansing breaths, and ask yourself: If I had all the money in the world, and I still had to work – what would I do? What am I feeling when I do that thing? Where do I feel those emotions in my body? Can I memorize that feeling and where it exists in my body? Can I make it grow and expand? ———————— In Thursday Threads, I pull a little piece out from the most recent guest episode. In this episode, I’m referencing season 4, episode 19 featuring Jen Roth.

Stop chasing & Start enjoying
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Are you currently wishing for something better than what you have right now? If you don't feel satisfied with your life, if you're feeling like there's something more for you, and you're always trying to figure out what the next big thing is – listen to this episode. Because future tripping is one of the most miserable trips you can go on. As I mentioned in the episode on Tuesday with Michelle Rios, achievers (like me and Michelle...and possibly you?) tend to find ourselves constantly seeking, striving, and wanting for the next best thing. This can lead us to being incredibly determined and motivated people – and to people who are never satisfied with the life they're living. So, how do we fix this? The answer is pretty simple, though I'll admit it's not easy for any high-functioning achiever or perfectionist to accomplish: Instead of always looking down the road for the next extraordinary thing to come our way, you have to feel the extraordinary happening right now . Despite your hardships, despite your challenges, despite Kevin who won't stop heating up salmon in the break room microwave or Kari who clips her fingernails at 2:30 pm every Tuesday afternoon and the sound is so jarring you could punch a nun, your life is full of magic. Spectacular wonders are occurring inside and around you at every waking moment. Truly. There is nothing bleh about life. You feel bleh because your awareness is not in the spectacular, it's in the wanting. So live the extraordinary life you're living. Like, really live it. Breathe it. Feel it. Taste it. Savor it. The big life secret every future tripper is looking for is to simply allow yourself to feel the powerful magic that is in your life right now . I Listen to this episode to learn: Why actively loving your life right now (even if you don't feel like you love it) is the ticket to the future you want How to start having fun, even in a job you hate Why your enthusiasm is your superpower, and how to use it How to really feel into the present moment so you can magnetize more joyful moments into your life My two affirmations from this episode (feel free to steal them!): When I choose the fun, the fun chooses me Money flows to me easily when I’m having fun Your homework: As mentioned in the episode, I would love to hear what fun thing you saw, did, or experience(d) today .

Noticing your invisible tethers
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How do you know when you’re tethered? Today, I share a story today of a realization that came to me while walking in a Portlandian snow storm. The cultural, societal, relational, and personal tethers we hold are not always visible to us. Like the snow that lands on a spider’s web, sometimes it takes an event or question or shift in perspective for the tether to reveal itself to us. Often, we find that the tether has been there for a while. Or it’s a recurring tether that keeps popping back up. I hope this episode gives you a few things: Comfort - That you aren’t alone in your experience. Validation - That your experience with a tether is real and unique. Acceptance - That it’s okay for tethers to be there. They get to exist. You get to brush them off. They get to come back. Allowing this can be a magical shift. What did you think of this episode?

How to attract more of what you want, and less of what you don’t
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Ever wondered why the universe keeps serving you a stack of crap pancakes — even when you keep saying it’s NOT what you want?! In this episode, I teach you how to place a new order. I share a bit about my own journey and how I came to a realization in 2014 that the person I was primarily being (a big Judgy McJudgerpants) was repeatedly placing the wrong order. Since that day, I’ve been on a quest to find the reasons why I was being so judgmental — and how to shift myself out of the throne of judgment and into the seat of curiosity. This intentional practice has created space in my life for amazing people and opportunities to appear (like KJ from Tuesday’s episode!) You can do this, too. You get to make little choices that bring more delight into your life by shifting away from things like overworking, perfectionism, and criticism — and into curiosity. This is where things like creativity and fun and flow and play get to thrive. Now, a reminder that judgment is not all bad. It’s actually quite helpful in many ways. People with a keen sense of judgment have cultivated the ability to notice things others might not. The world needs this skill, particularly when it comes to applying it to find solutions to real problems! But when our judgment is “overactive,” we can direct it at ourselves and others in harmful ways. So today, I encourage you to notice who you are being. Are you being open and curious and playful? Because who you are being is what you are attracting. And when you shift who you are being, you get to shift what you are attracting. After listening to this episode, ask yourself. What am I focusing on? How is that focus showing up in the world around me? What’s the next best emotion I can choose to focus on? ———— In Thursday Threads, I pull a little piece out from the most recent guest episode.

The power of shining your brightest light
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Moira from Schitt’s Creek was right: when one of us shines, all of us shine. The more each of us is willing to step into our gifts, the more joy we feel. And even more than that, as we light up, we give permission for others to do it, too. When you shine, it doesn’t steal someone else’s shine. This is a massive limitation so many of us are CHOOSING to live with. Put it down! There is enough pie for everyone. And in fact, when you take your slice, it automatically refills. (Maybe the pie even becomes more delicious than it was before — so every new slice taken is more and more delicious.) You can’t shine when you’re choosing to live tied down by your tethers. Which one can you let go of today? ———————— In Thursday Threads, I pull a little piece out from the most recent guest episode.

Light up your purpose - with Kristin Svets
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How do you find your purpose? Is there a yearning inside of you, but you can't put your finger on exactly what it is? Kristin Svets is on the podcast today to guide you back to your inner light so you can finally step into your calling and live with purpose – in business and in life. Kristin and I have a lot in common, from loving the color purple to being middle children, and as coaches who care a lot about you shining your magical unicorn light. This conversation spans many of our favorite topics on this podcast, including our least favorite tether that holds us back: judgment.

Find yourself in the stillness
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Why do we fight so hard for our limitations? This week, I reflect on a current experience where I'm getting to speak with hundreds of women as they made a decision about whether or not to join a coaching program. My biggest takeaway is how hard we fight for our own limitations, and how little we fight for our own possibility. It's wild, ya'll. It also made me think of what Philip Zave, aka PEZO the poet, said in Tuesday's episode about our identities. What I realized in talking to these individuals is that we fight SO hard for the current identity we have, and all of its baggage, when we could simply decide to drop this current identity and step into the calm stillness where we see endless possibility. And guess what? This identity you're currently living with that feels so STUCK and so tethered to all these things you don't want? It's a figment of your imagination. Much of your identity is something you craft for yourself, in your own mind. Sure we use inputs, but many of those inputs are actually reflections of our own thoughts and feelings we project onto others. So, your identity is actually what you THINK others perceive you as. Are you with me? Read that again. Is your identity coming from your source, your soul, your highest wisdom, your sparkly radiance? Or is it this funky false projection thing described above? It's truly hard to witness people fighting for the identity that isn't serving their heart and soul. However, I also understand that change is absolutely terrifying. Stepping out of this identity we've lived with, often a disempowered identity, feels like climbing Mt. Everest. What we don't realize is that stepping into something yummier is as easy as floating down a calm stream. Would love to hear your thoughts on this one! After listening to this episode, get still with yourself and ask: What is there for me to learn right now? What am I feeling, in my body, in this moment? Is there anything that I can learn in this moment? Am I thrashing or floating? How might I float a bit more right now? Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

How to be someone else – with Philip Zave, aka PÈZO the poet
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Are you proud of the version of yourself who is showing up today? And how do you step into the next version of when you're still tethered to this one? Today, we get to explore this question (and more!) with two really interesting people: Philip Zave and PÈZO the poet. As you begin the episode , though, you might notice something a little odd about this. And that's because Philip and PÈZO are the same person! Philip is a poetic embodiment teacher, photographer, and cohost of WOMMcast, a podcast about two humans on a quest to sell a $10 million photograph. In this podcast, he and his cohost explore what it takes to physically, emotionally, and energetically to make this $10 million feat possible. (becoming PÈZO) Our most intriguing guest(s) have come to teach us some really cool things about identity and how we can shift, move, and shed aspects of ourselves at our whim. The philosopher in me geeked out a bit during this convo, and it was a lot of fun to poke around at these concepts with someone who has thought so deeply about them. Hope you enjoy! Listen in to hear: What's sing you from being fully present with yourself today Why you should learn to listen to the wisdom of your body How rigorously tuning into our body can help you shed old identities and step into new ones How to truly give birth to the power of your own artistry Here are the books Pezo mentioned in this episode: War of Art by Steven Pressfield You are the Universe by Ram Dass Meet PÈZO the poet Philip Zave aka PÈZO the poet is a world class transformational photographer, typewriter poet, idea doer and the founder of WOMM. WOMM is a paradigm shifting international organization that invites us to tap deep into our artistry and co-create meaningful experiences at work, in our family, across our communities and the natural world. Philip loves nature walks, deep conversations and exploring the big and the small. He currently lives in Toronto with his beloved wife Jenny (a kindergarten teacher) and his spunky cat Chester Laroo. You can reach out to Philip on instagram @pezothepoet and ask about the joining the spring cohort of WOMMacademy, a restorative group program

Get out of your mind and into your body
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What the heck is embodiment, and why should you care about it anyway? In this episode, I walk you through my personal journey of coming back into my body, why I did it, and how it can be transformative for those of us who have lived our lives "outside of our bodies" (hint: guilt or worrying about the judgment of others is an indicator!) I also share the science behind why embodiment matters, particularly when it comes to making change in our lives in a way that sticks. A neuroscientist I've been working with says that 80% of the messages to your brain come from the neck-down! Moreover, the vagus nerve, which carries sensory messages to and from our brain , has a major impact on our memory. And yet, most "mindset" work only focuses on the brain alone. We house SO much physical and emotional memory in pieces of us that we don't ever associate with our brains! So, basically, being embodied is really freaking important. In this episode, I also walk you through an exercise that can help you to begin to gently come into your body through feeling joy. If you'd like the written instructions for how to do this Joy Expansion activity, you can get a free download by joining my email list at JenLiss.com Enjoy!

Surrender and receive – with Po-Hong Yu
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! How do you let go and surrender so you can finally receive all of the magic, beauty, and abundance life has to offer? Explore this question in today's episode, which – like today's guest – goes deep, real, raw, and a little irreverent. We discuss the topics of physical sex, sexuality, sexual trauma, and body awareness/consciousness in this episode. Please check in on and be aware of your individual resourcing, and take care and consideration into whether the content in this episode is supportive to you at this time. In this conversation, Po-Hong Yu shares her journey that led her to become a healer, and how following a few tiny breadcrumbs led her to some big personal realizations. Today, she's dedicated her work to helping women get out of survival mode and into thriving mode through a process of healing, embodiment, expansion, and creation. We talk about the importance of having compassion for yourself, loving yourself in the present moment (even in your resistance!), and surrendering to what is. As Po-Hong says, "Love is the alchemizing force." Listen to this episode to learn: Why so many of us have numbed ourselves out How to start re-sensitizing ourselves safely Why being "soft" is a power move The importance of surrendering in receiving your desires Mirroring exercise Po-Hong shares in the episode: Stand in front of a mirror, and make eye contact with yourself. Look at yourself as is you were your own lover. As if you were your own best friend. As if you were your own parent. During each segment of the exercise, flow love onto yourself – and see if you can allow yourself to receive it back. Get to know Po-Hong Yu Po-Hong Yu is a Spiritual Guide, Somatic & Energy Healer, Plant Medicine Facilitator, and Self Intimacy & Embodiment Teacher. She guides people on the path of healing trauma somatically, energetic expansion, divine embodiment & creation. The foundation of her teachings are based in Taoism (yin and yang) and the practice of surrendering to the flow of life and love with consciousness and receptivity. Her experience as an acupuncturist brings a holistic approach to her work where she integrates the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms and goes to the root. She has offerings that range from group programs to one on one work to rites of passages to VIP days. All of Po-Hong’s work is devoted to the remembrance of who we are and living from that place.

Let yourself be
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Early bird pricing ends SOON for my program Make This My Year. Learn more at JenLiss.com/myyear --- Who are you being right now? And is this current beingness serving the shiny, beautiful person who you truly are in the here and now? Look, I'm well aware that we are living scrapbooks of our past stories. This basic concept makes tons of scientific sense. Our previous experiences have shaped our current experiences. Former judgments, fears, beliefs, and traumas influence our minds, bodies, thoughts, behaviors. Former pleasures do the same. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself, "What former truths are alive in me today that no longer serve me today?" And have you ever stopped to ask yourself, "What former truths will no longer serve me where I'm going?" I love these questions because they do several things: They invite curiosity They create space They remove judgment When we separate our past experiences, our future experiences, and our current experience, we suddenly have an openness to explore. In this space, new possibilities have potential to take root. This is how we begin to untangle, and eventually untether, from the things that are dulling our inner sparkle. I pose many questions in this episode that may be helpful in your personal exploration. All of this becomes really important when we feel called to something more or different. Being entangled with the past makes it incredibly difficult to clearly see our way to something new. We can't see what we desire because we're so caught up in the muck. To further the problem, those past feelings are soooo accessible. It is easy to feel them. You've already felt them. You've got stories. You've seen and felt some stuff, man. On the other hand, it's waaaay less accessible to feel the future state. Right? But what if you can shift that? Try feeling the future in the now. You want to have a big, beautiful house with a mountain view and a big deck where you can sip a hot cup of coffee every morning while you read a few pages of the latest Colleen Hoover novel. Feel that experience . Did you feel it? Now, wait 10 seconds. Now, this amazing mountain-view-romance-novel-morning feeling is a delightful feeling of the past. Choose to feel this future feel again? Another past experience. Do it many moments of every day, and these start to stack. Eventually, you have a whole mind and body full of future feeling stories that have become not just the present but the past. Get out of the past and into the now, and the past things naturally loosen their grip. This is how you untether from what you don't want, and align with wha

Let go and let the magic in
What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! You know you're capable of a more fulfilling life, but how do you actually make it happen? In this episode, I get to the heart of what keeps so many of us stuck in a ho-hum existence – and what we need to do to call in the magic we know we're truly here to create. Whether it's a more fulfilling role, starting to sell your art, learning a new instrument, or taking a stab at content creation, we can find ourselves trying so dang hard. To get it right. To get the sale. To get the likes. At the same time, we're often controlling how much we allow ourselves to fully step into the creative process. So. Much. Control. I've been flitting around in the personal development space for a long time. I've been a closet "self-fixer" for two decades, always looking to the solution that will finally fix my problems. That is, until someone helped me see clearly that the solution to everything was sitting right in my hands. All I needed to do was drop the rope. Let go. Let love. Let magic roll in. Become untethered. This is the true secret to bringing us hand-in-hand with all the things we truly desire. BIG NEWS, Untethered crew! I've just opened the doors to my 2023 coaching program, Make This My Year . If you're ready to set down the rope and usher in the magical life you know you're called to live, I'd love to have you there.
