Today's guest is Farrah Burke, a passionate Transformational Coach and Psychology student. She and her clients courageously explore their personal and professional lives through the unique lens of "being human". After 7 years in business leadership, she saw and experienced the consequences of fragmenting our professional selves from our humanity. Her work serves to inspire self-reconciliation and authenticity!    Her work is deeply informed by various psychological approaches, growing neuroscientific knowledge and both coaching and therapeutic skills. It is real, honest and founded on her fundamental belief that human connection transforms lives.   She is someone who did not see herself in box growing up, but rather, ‘part of a generation creating a new way of living’ ____________________________ WORK WITH FARRAH:   IG: @farrahburkecoaching   Website: www.farrahburkecoaching.com   CONNECT   IG: @christen.rodgers   CONTRIBUTE:   1x Contributor: Venmo   Monthly Contributor:  Patreon Free Human Design Chart   www.myhumandesign.com

What’s at risk when you don’t have enough space?    Everyone has a special something to offer to the world and when our lives feel constricted by cultural, financial, or religious systems that don’t align with our energetic design, we can feel depleted, discouraged, unworthy, ashamed, and it robs the world of our genius, our gifts, of us.   But, it's hard to know how to take the first step TOWARD something new, when you don't have a vision of what could be next.  So, as a means of inspiration, Akeel and Christen talk about their backstories in modern ‘Matrix’, and the how and why, at 43, Christen left everything to CREATE SPACE from all she had known to brave the unknown and wild frontier of creating a life that aligned with a life her soul insisted existed. One of peace, presence, joy, and ease.   If that sounds like it’s for you, we invite you to start listening. _____________________ In This Episode We Talk About Christen's journey through religious systems, shame, financial insecurity, relationships (including not having her first kiss until she was 44 years old), finding 'success' chasing after the American Dream, only to find it wasnt what she wanted , to dropping everything and starting to travel full-time internationally with no end in site, searching for way she could be 'her' and live a life of peace, flow, ease, and love. The beauty and the limitations of our faith backgrounds The byproducts of putting anything (ideas, religion, relationships) in a box Signs you too might need some SPACE from a system you grew up in Ways international travel can expand you while giving you physical and financial margin to breathe and test whether or not the way you grew is the way you want to live the rest of your life. *Connect with Christen or Akeel www.instagram.com/christen.rodgers  www.instagram.com/akeel_the_oracle *Contribute to Christen's trip back America https://fundly.com/bringing-christen-to-america *Become a Patreon Supporter of 'Create the Space +' *https://www.patreon.com/Christenrodgers  *Umpadhi Canggu Boutique Hotel www.instagram.com/umpadhicanggu
