How you think matters. What is going on in your brain? When you're worrying about something, you're putting yourself in a state of fear and stress. When you're thinking that great things will happen, then you're putting yourself in an optimistic and happier state. Abundance mindset is all about shifting the way you think about resources - how much food is available? Where will you live? How much money do you have in the bank? Instead of worrying about these things, when you can learn to trust that they will be there for you then you can let go of that stress.

Life doesn't always turn out the way you expect, but that's ok because maybe it will lead you to a really great place. Julia found that place in coaching parents of highly sensitive children. But she didn't start knowing that she would work with children. In fact she started college thinking she would become a vet. One decision led to another and eventually Julia found herself in Boulder, Colorado where she would meet a young student that taught her about Highly Sensitive Children and also about herself. Now she knows her calling is to help parents understand their highly sensitive kids so that these kids can have the best chance at being their best selves. Learn more about Highly Sensitive Children through Julia's article: Empaths, Dictators, and Silent Observers: A Quick Guide to Understanding Highly Sensitive ChildrenGet more information about Julia and how she helps parents here: partneredpath.comIf you need help working with your child, then grab her free resources and schedule a free call with her. 

Your path doesn't have to be straight. Liz Novy will let you know that her path was not that way at all, but her life always held a theme of creating wellness and leading a healthy life. In this podcast Liz will take you through her life from picking a degree in Interior Design to turning down her dream job in order to switch paths and become a nurse. While working as a nurse she saw even more gaps in the healthcare system that needed filling and since has become an Integrative Health Coach. I was touched by her story and her struggles with 3 close family members getting cancer.  But Liz has always taken life by the horns and made her own path no matter the obstacle. She never once complained about the life she led and I can tell has little or no regrets. She only wants to forge ahead and make the world a better place.Find more Liz on her Website: https://enjoylivingwellness.com/Get her FREE Health Empowerment Checklist

My special guest today was Maria of Bloom and Grow Radio, a podcast all about plant care. For the last three years, Maria was juggling a full time job on Broadway and also running her wildly successful podcast. When the pandemic took over she was left without work for the unforeseeable future. It hit hard and was definitely upsetting, but after she mourned her loss, Maria has dove head first into growing her podcast and supporting people on their plant care journeys. This was a special treat for me because I've been a fan of her podcast for years now AND we found out that we actually went to the same university and know a handful of the same people. WILD. Maria inspired me by her resourcefulness, ingenuity and bravery for diving head first into all the things she does. Check out all her offerings especially her Plant Parent Personality Quiz | https://bloomandgrowradio.com/personality. You won't be disappointed.

Have you ever thought about your relationship with yourself? How you treat yourself? How you take care of yourself? And also how you speak to yourself?All these things contribute to your inner peace or inner turmoil. As you continue your journey to finding your purpose, think about how you can become your own best friend. This journey might be lonely, people might not understand you or why you're doing something. So if you have a good relationship with yourself then you can support yourself when no one else is supporting you. I spent a long time being critical of myself before I learned that I needed to stop. It's been a long journey but I've become more compassionate, more understanding and more supportive of me and my journey. And also allowing myself to go at the pace I'm meant to go. Think about how you can be better to yourself and how you can become your own best friend. You won't regret it.

In this episode I talk about defying the practical and going against what everyone is telling you. Most people will say go with what you know, go with what's safe, and just keep pushing through the pain. I say - forget that culture. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. If you're afraid of letting go of that comfortable but drab job, then listen to my tips on how to overcome the guilt of leaving something that's practical. My intuitive tip this episode is - just pick the first thing that pops in your head! Most often our intuition speaks first but then the logical mind takes over and speaks louder. So slow down, listen to the first thought and pick that even if it doesn't make sense. To get help slowing down, check out my other podcast - Meditate with Miinkay. Link is below.

Welcome to a new year and a new season for the What's Your Calling? Podcast. Today I'm talking to you about how to know if something is your calling. Sometimes people wonder if it's really possible to find something that you love that will make you money. And I say YES. It's totally possible. Especially in today's world with the internet - making money and being of service has many unlimited avenues. In your search for a calling, it will fit these three criteria: 1. Your calling is something that shows up in your life again and again2. Your calling will be of service to something in some way3. Your calling is super interesting or personal to youIf you haven't found it yet, then keep searching and honing your search. No dead end is a failure. Instead it's information to help you find the right path. If you're looking for more help with getting centered on what you want, how to overcome obstacles, and how to get in touch with your inner guidance, then join me for my FREE webinars. http://www.whatsyourcalling.us/purposeThanks for being here!MiinkayFind more Coach Miinkay onEmail: coach@miinkayyu.comWebsite: www.whatsyourcalling.usInstagram: @CoachMiinkay

We have hit December 2020! Thank God! I've been thinking a lot about this year, and have also been setting up my 2021. In this episode I talk about my biggest take aways from podcasting this year. All that I've gained and grown (learning that I enjoy podcasting, getting excited to create for you, and growing as a public speaker) . I also talk about what's coming for 2021! Some quick notes: 1. I've created a separate podcast for my meditations: Meditate with Miinkay2. Next year is packed full with more stories, ideas, and tips for creating a career you'll love. Get Journey, the #1 Motivational Journal App. I use and love this app for my reflections, journaling and thoughts. I can get to it from my phone and my computer so when I want to write longform text I have the option. When I just want to put down some thoughts I have that at my finger tips on my phone. I would highly, recommend journaling your reflections for this year as doing so will help you process and close out the year on a good note. And help you process your emotions so that you can have clarity for a great 2021. THANK YOU for listening. All the downloads encourage me to create more and do more for you.

Peter is an international speaker, executive coach, and genuine human being. He graciously offered to come on my podcast to talk about his life and he even coached me just because he wanted to help. And even better he offered a FREE coaching session to someone who heard him here on the podcast. Keep reading for more details on how to get that session. Throughout our conversation  I could tell that Peter empowers people by giving them ideas and new concepts to help them break out of limiting beliefs and move into what they want. Here are his thoughts on finding your calling: When you want to reach a goal, instead step back and recreate your goal into an aim. An aim is a place you're working towards but its broad. Allow your aim to be broad so that you can be flexible and allow for new ideas and opportunities to get there. A goal can be restricting if you're only working toward that one thing. So as you work toward your aim, follow your curiosity and try things (do small experiments). You will need to conduct these experiments in order to reach your aim. Maybe your experiments will fail, but don't worry these are just helping you learn and get closer to your aim. When experimenting - optimize for serendipity because with serendipity you'll could get opportunities you never imagined. Optimize by 1. Getting Curious, 2. Creating Genuine Connection with People, 3. Allow yourself to Wander, 4. Luck! If you're searching for a calling, then your aim is to find your essence. When conducting experiments, three questions to ask yourself are 1. Will this create a life you'll love? 2. Will this be of service? 3. Who will you become if you do this? If you like the answer to all three things, then go for it!Peter is giving out a FREE 2-hour coaching session. You don't want to miss this opportunity! Send him an email telling him who you are and how you would benefit from a coaching session. He will pick the lucky winner and give them their session.
