Episode 325: Advice I Gave My Stressed Out Daughter

mindset May 05, 2023

In today’s episode I share advice I gave my youngest daughter who suffered her first panic attack. Not a fun experience for the person having the attack nor for a mom who never wants to see her kids suffer or be sad or have difficulties in life. 

So in perfect mom-mode, as soon as she messaged me about what was happening, I called her and guided her through a few deep breaths and suggested that she quiet her mind for just 15 minutes after our call. Doing that will get her out of the busy mind and into the silence. (I’m not sure if she did the latter after we hung up, but I know she did the deep breaths because I heard her do them!) 

The 3 pieces of advice I gave her, which I elaborate on in the episode, were:

  • Perspective: The world will go on without you, whether or not you finish all of your tasks.
  • The Ripple Effect: It’s impact is both good AND bad.
  • Misalignment: If you don’t instigate change, change will eventually be forced on you by the...

Episode 323: My Recent Discovery of a 64-Year-Old Limiting Belief

mindset Apr 28, 2023

In today’s episode, I share a huge breakthrough I received at a recent in-person Money Mindset workshop, which was the discovery of a limiting belief I’ve had since I was in my mother’s womb. That means it’s likely the first limiting belief I ever had!!!

I begin by explaining why this limiting belief was deep-seated because it’s at an identity level and how these kinds of beliefs are important to find because they help explain our behavior. So much can be learned from uncovering limiting beliefs!

Listen in and hear how, even after I had this discovery while writing out my money stories from my childhood, I still didn’t recognize it was an identity I was still carrying inside of me. My coach had to point out the words I had spoken because I didn’t even realize what I had said out loud. That’s when you know it’s a limiting belief residing in your subconscious.

Now that I’ve uncovered it, I can begin the work to rewire it so...

career health mindset Apr 25, 2023

At age 72, Berniece Hunt, a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, is just getting started on her new purpose which came about as a result of her husband developing sepsis. His illness got very scary when the infection traveled to his brain. temporarily creating "dementia-like" symptoms.

Episode 320: Want a Better Life? Start by Applying the Law of Correspondence

mindset Apr 19, 2023

In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite Universal Laws, other than the Law of Attraction, the Law of Correspondence. It's not the type of correspondence that implies exchanging letters but it definitely is about the exchange of messages, as well as the other aspects of the definition of correspondence: similarity, connection, and equivalence.

It's actually a very simple law to understand and apply and it's closely connected to the Law of Attraction and the manifestation process.If you've never heard about it, learn about it here and start practicing it today! If you have heard of it, are you applying it? If not, perhaps this is a great reminder or nudge that it's what you needed to hear today.

Episode 319: They Manifested What They Desired Without Even Realizing It

mindset Apr 14, 2023

In today’s episode I share real life example of late bloomers who followed a passion, even when life looked bleak. In all cases, they could have easily let doubt drive them to give up but they, through what I believe was pure instinct and desire to do what they loved, trusted the process and persevered to success.

Having faith that it would all work out and not trying to control the outcome is once of the manifestation tips I shared in my last episode. Control is like kryptonite to the Law of Attraction! It will kill the positive energy required to attract the life you want.

So let these stories inspire you to stop trying to control by having all the answers and using logic to get to the outcome you desire. Just find out what it is that you love and keep doing it, while also keeping a clear picture of the outcome you desire, then let it flow to you as it is meant to. When you do that, what you attract will always be better than you had imagined.

Episode 318: Are You Making One of These Manifestation Mistakes?

mindset Apr 11, 2023

Are you having trouble manifesting? If so, maybe you are making one of these 5 mistakes. 

Many people don't realize that there is a real science behind manifestation. It's a universal law called the Law of Attraction and this law guarantees that you will get whatever you focus your thoughts on - good or bad.

So if you are living a life that is not what you want, then you can use your innate manifesting abilities that you were born with to attract the life you want.

Yes it is THAT EASY! 

But the problem is most of us we focus on the wrong things and we don't really understand the manifesting process and how it works. We are using it incorrectly, likely making one of these mistakes, or we aren't using it at all. It is just sitting at the bottom of our self help toolbox collecting dust.

If this sounds intriguing and you're curious if you may be missing out on this valuable tool or you're trying and it's just not working, this episode is a must listen for you!

Episode 317: Using Intuition to Find a Serial Killer Before He Struck Again

mindset Apr 08, 2023

Did you know I was the wife of one of the 2 detectives who solved this country’s first serial killer case based on DNA evidence? That’s a little known random fact about my earlier years.

I woke up with the idea to share this story so, because I trust the downloads I receive, I went with it. As I was remembering my personal experience and using google to recollect some of the facts, like timing of the events, I thought of two key turning points in the investigation where intuition was used, whether the detectives realized it or not.

Back then, I didn’t have the understanding I do now about how much logic turns us away from the actual truth so reliving this story allowed me to recognize the huge value intuition played in the solving of these murders. If these two detectives had not followed their intuition, they would not have:

  • tied the 3 murders that happened in a different city to the one they were assigned to, or
  • come up with the serial killer’s name so...

Episode 316: How To Manifest The Seemingly Impossible

mindset Apr 04, 2023

If I hadn't been listening to the book "The Vortex" as I was in the air on my delayed flight, which the airline had confirmed before my departure would cause me to miss my connecting flight, this manifestation would have never happened.

But I just so happened to be on the "Law of Attraction" chapter, and it gave me an idea.

It's funny because I know how manifestation works, but today's episode is a perfect example of how easily we fall into the world of accepting what is, or what we THINK has to be that we have no control over. But in reality, it's the future that hasn't yet happened and that means it can be changed!

We give our power away when all we have to do is change our energy! We must keep the faith that we CAN change our perceived outcomes so the future that might seem impossible becomes possible. And the first step is to BELIEVE what we want to happen is possible.

The book I was reading reminded me of that. It brought be back, not to the reality of my missed...
