69. The Power of Forgiveness with Kris Ashley

Let's dive in to this topic that can seem so heavy, but we all have to navigate at some point. Kristen and Kris Ashley discuss letting go for your own well being, forgiveness and the Law of Attraction. Takeaways: Forgiveness is not about excusing someone's behavior, but about letting go of anger and resentment for our own well-being. The law of attraction states that what we focus on, we bring into our reality. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions shape our reality and can influence the circumstances and people we attract. Taking responsibility for our own lives and beliefs is key to personal growth and transformation. Practical ways to forgive include visualization exercises, journaling, and releasing emotions through physical modalities. Changing our perspective and beliefs can lead to healing, growth, and the manifestation of our desires. Kris Ashley is a coach, author, speaker, and podcaster who has spent the past two decades immersed in the research, spiritual teachings, and practices she shares. Her book, Change Your Mind To Change Your Reality, has been endorsed by 3 experts from The Secret (Michael Beckwith, Bob Doyle, and Marci Shimoff), Anita Moorjani, John Gray, and many others in the spiritual and personal development space.

62. Manifesting Your Inner Desires with Stephanie Hickey

Let's talk about sex... love and relationships. In this (spicy) episode we discuss how our desires (not only in sex, but in life) are like beacons for our life. We don't always have to answer the call of the desire- yet we get to choose what to do with it. But there's a lot of power in knowing what you want. These are messages for you about what lights you up at your very core. Stephanie addresses how women are often very much in 'to do' mode and more rarely in 'being' mode - this loses the softness we long for, the pace of life we long for. This is especially true for mothers and care-takers and we dive into how you can learn to shift into "being" mode which will recharge you in many ways. Stephanie Hickey is sex, love and relationship coach with a special interest in helping women take the necessary steps to take radical self-responsibility for their own pleasure, for the love they deserve, and in their relationships.
