Let these words ignite the goddess within you. The root of the word goddess means “bright” or “shine.” As women, we tend to underestimate our divine feminine power—at best, we ignore it; at worst, we demonize it. Yet, this light and power within is the energy that creates our life. We have always been meant to harness it, own it, and use it for our greatest good.

Your femininity is your divine superpower. In this moment, we are connecting with and to her, honoring her, and reminding ourselves that the light within us shall never be dimmed again. From now on, I am honoring my truths and affirming my power.

Many women struggle with the question: What is my purpose? Of course, most of us know that we want to feel loved, successful, make a positive impact, and make enough money to feel satisfied, but we are often left with the following question: how?

This week we mindfully explore your unique purpose and go on a journey through how to move that spark into a thriving business. As women, we often hold ourselves back, but once you do the work to get your life together, little stops your purpose, passion, and ambition from igniting. To help you mindfully avoid the pitfalls of work/life balance, how to start a business, and what you need to be successful, I sat down with Attorney, Creator, and team USA Runner Rachel Brenke, who hands over the foundational steps necessary to get started in any venture, how to create balance along the way, and how to be free of imposter syndrome.

Stress comes in many forms, and too much stress, of any type, can feel overwhelming and all-consuming at times. It can even have us losing faith in ourselves and the world around us, because we all know that stress has a way of building to the point that even the simplest moments can become challenging and unmanageable, our health can be impacted, and it can even affect our relationships and our day-to-day happiness factor.

The truth is that your life is working in your favor; everything that has arrived has done so to teach, elevate, and move you where you need to be. In this understanding, you can claim yourself and this moment, today, piece-by-piece through every thought, feeling, and action you take. In witnessing this, you have the power to own the love story you came here to create—the unstoppable love story with and of the self. This starts by claiming your life through a new beginning.

Do you ever find yourself feeling stuck?

No matter how different your life may appear from others around you, at one point or another, it’s likely that you will experience a hurdle, a kind of “stuckness” that rules you. Unfortunately, this is true for nearly every woman alive at one point or another.

This week we’re exploring just that with the six common hurdles women experience with Darcy Luoma of Thoughtfully Fit. Darcy takes us on a journey through the barriers that get in our way, how we often self-sabotage, and gives us the solutions to the hurdles that no longer have to make us feel small or hold us back.

We’re kicking off the first mini mindset reset with one of the topic situations I am most asked about: how to challenge negative thinking.

So, let’s jump right in.

If you practice this exercise consistently, you’ll be amazed by how automatic it will become to challenge your negative thoughts and negative thinking loops. This practice is excellent for dealing with anxiety, too. So, give yourself 15 minutes and give it a try before you begin to work it into your day-to-day life. It does take practice.

We live so much of our days outside of ourselves—engaging in what works for others, showing up, listening to opinions. We give our time and energy to those we love and want to see thrive. We prioritize things that do not fulfill us or make us happy. While serving others is a beautiful means of service, when our mental space is nearly always occupied, it’s challenging to check in with ourselves, give to ourselves, and fulfill our needs.

To do so, we must consciously and willing hold space for ourselves. Holding space is the ultimate act of self-acceptance, self-love, and worthiness.  

This week we’re talking about purpose, the power of social media, and what it means to be a parent with Laura from @Foster.Parenting.

If you have logged onto Tik Tok or Instagram in the last year, you’ve likely stumbled across one of Laura’s videos where she offers such resources to parents around the globe, especially those who are foster parents. What started as a way to fill the gap of resources during the pandemic has turned into a global advocate platform for foster children, parents no matter birth, adopted, or fostering, a place for teachers to learn about trauma outside of the classroom, as well as ways to show up for the children in our communities and homes.

For the first time, a face and voice that millions have watched, fallen in love with, and followed shares her personal story, her why, and her deep desires for the children in her personal care and yours.

It’s time to allow yourself to remember your magic—the nuances, the subtle differences that make you, you. It’s time to own that magic, one beautiful experience and one trait at a time.  Whether you’ve forgotten or are just now meeting yourself for the first time, the truth is, you are inventive. You are transformative. You are capable of owning the life you came here to create. You are unstoppable, beautiful, and the very definition of strength.  

In this week’s episode, we chat with Transformational Shaman, Kelle Sparta, who walks us through her journey of healing her childhood, leaving the life she has created but did not recognize as her own, taking a walkabout of self-discovery, creating a healing strategy and system that can serve each of us, and how we can find our true selves by doing the shadow work of healing.

Let your mind and body find center. Actively and consciously releasing tension and allow my words to guide you into your truth—the truth that everything that happens within your life is happening for you, not to you—the truth that everything that comes your way is a teacher, good, bad, indifferent; it has shown up so that you have the skills, knowledge, and ability to meet yourself in the moment. To be presently aware and meet your needs.

With this truth, you must acknowledge that there will be times of imbalance, rollercoasters of emotional and mental discord, highs and lows, ripples of greatness, moments of perceived failure, even anxiety, and uncertainty.

In all of this, you must remember to surrender.

The past often works to own our present and our future because what has been gone unhealed and unaddressed. We tend to believe that if we simply move on, what was will fall away.

Yet, this thinking robs us of a beautiful opportunity and great expansion. The events in our lives are lessons, building blocks that teach us what we came here to learn, ways of being, our desires. Our experiences teach us contrast. It shows what we want and what we do not. In this understanding, we can go deeper and explore our needs spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Today is a beautiful day to allow yourself to shine, slow down, and return to center. We tend to live life at a frantic, stressful pace. Where our to-do lists and obligations control the way we see ourselves and the possibilities before us. But when we are willing to accept there’s more for us is when we are released from the grip of our endless doing, from our unwillingness to slow, and it’s from here that we find a natural flow that provides us with room to imagine, to grow, and to thrive. It’s from here we allow ourselves to go within, to move any lack of light, and shine in all that we are.

By nature, you are soulfully beautiful. The combination of your qualities, emotional awareness, powerful thoughts, shape, color, form, the nuances that make you, you have created a beautiful soul. This lovely light shines no matter how those qualities have merged and mixed to create an outside and inner form. Your beauty is soul deep. It’s a shining, brilliant feeling that is your presence. And, that presence will never be dependent on aesthetics because beauty is in everything, and it lies within you, too.

You arrived in this world with a spark, a fiery ambition in your core, and motivation to live a defined set of purposes. When you align with your why, the world rearranges itself to offer you infinite possibilities. Yet, when you are out of alignment with your purpose, it works to arrange everything to bring you back—the hardships, the trails, roadblocks, detours, and attention-grabbers. All of which are designed to help guide you home, to guide you to your purpose. The truth is, you have the power to find your way to your purpose and into alignment by going within and listening to your inner voice.

Our lives are a testimony to our stories—to the lessons we’ve learned, the thoughts we’ve crafted into emotions and actions. Our lives are what we’ve created and attracted to us through all we have been and are working to become. I am a creator, and I am creating goodness not only for me but for the world at large.

I am an instrument of joy. I see the beauty of it, the pleasure of it, the bliss, happiness, delight, and thrill that it weaves throughout my life, even during times that are not joyful or developed in joyful circumstances. Because of this, I am no longer waiting for the next day, the next event, the next moment to come. Instead, I am guiding myself, my mind, emotions, and actions into enjoying what is, in the here and now, in each and every second, minute, and hour. In doing so, I realize that joy is always available to me because it is me.

Our daily lives are often too busy, overwhelmed, and even loud. As this tense and stressed framework becomes our way, we often forget who we are. In doing so, we lean into the idea of chasing perfection. Today is the day you reclaim your authenticity and lean into resetting yourself for more.

Bring your mind to a state of stillness and focus on two beautiful words. Those words are peace and Shanti. Shanti is a Sanskrit term that can be loosely translated as “peace be with you.” It’s a reminder that peace is always within your grasp.
