“Journeying home to self isn't about getting there. It’s about coming to a place in your life of unbecoming, shedding the layers, releasing self-doubt, owning your worth, and trusting your intuition. “ Today's world is often inundated with messages telling us how we should look, act, and think. It can hurt our self-esteem and feed our inner critic negatively. The inner critic is the voice inside our heads that tells us we are not good enough, failing, or not worthy of love and respect. It can be challenging to overcome it, but it is essential if we want to know our purpose. Cultivating self-compassion and acceptance is essential in quieting your inner critic and navigating balance in life. We all make mistakes, and we all have flaws. So instead of beating yourself up, show yourself some kindness and empathy. This can help you build a stronger sense of self-worth and lead to a more fulfilling life.Let's begin our journey to self together by learning how to quiet our inner critic with Deepshikha Sairam in this episode. She is a keynote speaker on Inner Critic and metaphysical teachings. She helps high-achieving women get beyond their inner critic to unlock their limitless potential for more creativity and meaning. Exceptional HighlightLife isn't about suffering. It's all about living. Why would we suffer if there was so much beauty around us? We need to let go of shame, guilt, and unworthiness. And that takes peeling off the layers and unmasking to really get to the core of who we really are.Sometimes, you need to let go that you cannot find balance in life without being overwhelmed. Finding balance is not about not being overwhelmed. It's about finding moments of calm and peace and doing your thing again.The feeling of overwhelm becomes like a huge mountain when we resist it. But when you acknowledge it and allow it to be there, you validate your feelings and permit yourself to let go of the burden; sooner or later, that feeling vanquishes or reverses. Episode Highlights3:21 - Deepshikha’s favorite grounding activities7:18 - Quieting the Inner Critic and the Journey to Self-Worth11:36 - How burnout can show up in our lives15:59 - Significance of nurturing all aspects of wellness18:54 - Deepshikha’s lowest point in life20:37 - Why Advocating for our own WelSupport the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

“The future is very different from your life now. Therefore, the actions you should take must also be greatly different. You cannot do the same thing and get something different.”Are you hesitant to pursue your dreams because you don't feel ready? Do you think you need all the necessary skills, resources, and support before taking that leap? If so, you're not alone.Many people feel this way and put their dreams on hold for years, if not decades. However, you don't have to equip yourself fully to pursue your dreams. Waiting until you're entirely ready may mean you never start at all. It can keep you stuck in a cycle of procrastination and inaction.If you don't feel ready, take action anyway. Starting on the right foot can give you momentum and confidence. You'll learn as you go and make more informed decisions along the way. Embrace your worth and take action today.Listen to the full episode and learn that believing in yourself, embracing your worth, and taking action is more significant than feeling ready.

It comes in every time we shake our comfort zone. And that's when we listen to and weigh internal battles and intuitive nudges. You can't play small and have big goals and dreams.We can get caught up in not being ready and not feeling worthy.

"You are the expert on your lived experience because no one knows your life experience like you do, so own it. You hold the power to heal and create the best version of yourself."Life can be challenging sometimes, and feeling overwhelmed, powerless, and lost is easy. We underestimate the value of our individual experiences and innate healing capability. However, it's important to remember that our experiences make us who we are—the ups and downs, the joys and hurts, the pain and healing. They empower us to become part of the greater good.We can reclaim control of our lives by owning our lived experiences. But first, we need deep awareness and recognition of where we are on the journey. And by slowly pacing ourselves to healing, we empower our mind, body, and soul back into balance.I had a fulfilling conversation with Cacky Mellor about how her healing journey has led to the capacity that she does today. She is a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator, Somatic Experiencing© Practitioner, and RYT-500. She has cultivated a diverse somatic toolkit to support your healing journey. Dive into the full episode and learn how to return home to your true self with the tools and techniques to heal and create the life of your dreams. Don’t forget to share this with your friends and loved ones who need to hear this most.Exceptional HighlightsHealing doesn't mean we suddenly see everything clearly. Even amid sunshine and rainbows, there can be storm clouds. And that means we can simultaneously hold the complexity of suffering and healing and navigate the balance of living a beautiful life.Slowing down allows us to ease through the process. Sometimes we are eager to jump straight in, but it can shock our nervous system and do more damage than benefit.Being present in the moment is sacred. So it's essential to slow down and focus and relish what surrounds you and be grateful for being a part of such a beautiful world.Episode Highlights9:13 - How Cacky’s interest in holistic healing started11:58 - Reiki as a beautiful gift to her healing journey15:09 - We are the ultimate expert in our own lived experience17:41 - The impact of embracing the present moment20:50 - Factors affecting the incomplete stress cycle and the "fight or flSupport the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

"Healthy living isn't only about the tactical and practical things. It's also about allowing your mindset and identity to shift into the person you want to be.” Most of us strive to stay healthy and be the most optimal version of ourselves. Making small changes in our daily routine can significantly impact our health in the long run. Eating a well-balanced diet, getting enough sleep each night, going out under the sunrise, getting out in the sun and being mindful of stress-reducing activities are all key components of a healthy lifestyle.In addition, determining the root cause of illnesses is incredibly crucial instead of just taking topical approaches when health problems arise. We need to see what is happening in our bodies rather than applying treatments to the symptoms only.  In this episode, Maja Miller joined me to help us understand our bodies and health from the inside out. Maya is a Clinical Metabolic Health Coach helping busy humans get and stay healthy holistically. Listen to the full episode to look at your health optimally to be the best version of yourself. Don’t forget to share with your friends and loved ones. Exceptional HighlightsYour metabolism is as unique as your fingerprint. We never know the best therapy for anyone unless we look at it from the inside. That's why you have to do the right thing in the right order. We must look at the optimal and functional range versus the clinical range. Clinical ranges are based on the common statistical average, while the functional range is your optimal comparison within the population of your lifestyle, age, and gender. Your soul is the watcher like a lighthouse—looking and planning and seeing everything. It whispers to us if it's a "YES" or a "NO." But we are so focused on the mind or body that we rarely hear our soul.Episode Highlights 13:41 - How Maja Miller got Interested in Functional Medicine18:19 - How She Realized she was Eating Garbage25:57 - Why not all Kinds of Healing Techniques are right for you27:33 - The Significance of Shifting Your Mindset in Healing37:06 - Adrenal Detox as a way to Manage Stress39:58 - How Important is it to do Stress Management45:47 - The Connection between Stress and the Support the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

"Ultimately, our imagination can help us turn our goals into reality. It helps us create an image of success, stay committed and focused on our purpose, and push through any challenges that come our way."We exist in the world with the ability to imagine things in our minds. And our minds are capable of seeing the beautiful and the ugly, whatever we like. We were born with that capability, and it's built into us to inspire great ideas when we turn our attention to something. But have you ever wondered what life would be like without imagination?It would feel shallow, empty, and meaningless. That’s why I invited Christoph Weigert over to the show to talk about how using imagination can help you heal and build a better life. In addition, we talk about how beautiful it can be to imagine from a positive perspective, with an intention to help and heal.Let's listen until the end so you can guide your soul in examining your mindset and imagination.Exceptional Highlights Everything around us stems from someone's imagination. What you see is already made or done. We don't know the story or concept from how it came from someone's imagination until it becomes a reality.We must connect ourselves with the environment through our senses to open our attention and use our imagination to create a mindscape or a beautiful version of things.You are powerful enough to make things new and different. So go ahead and shake things up, break the regular flow of your day-to-day life to spark new thoughts and cultivate imagination.Episode Highlights9:22 How imagination helps the world be more innovative today.11:16 The power of uniting the mind and body in reaching greater heights17:17 The significance of imagination in connecting to your uniqueness as an adult?21:56 How imagination can help you heal26:33 How to stay grounded when negativity loops 32:57 Imagination as a core pillar to trauma work35:16 Building a relationship with imagination36:07 How trauma can impact our imagination.41:09 How to help someone heal from trauma using their imagination.43:27 How to be very imaginSupport the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

"Sometimes, when everything feels heavy no matter how hard you want to control things, all you need to do is SURRENDER."We pride ourselves on doing the most and keeping up with the fast pace of the world. We become overshadowed by our desires and are constantly searching for more. Sometimes, you don’t realize how overloaded you are until you feel like everything is exploding around you. Only then, you realize you've taken too much at a time. It then becomes necessary to take an inventory, remove anything that is unnecessary, improve what needs to be better, and move forward with a clean and organized viewpoint. Exceptional HighlightsSurrender means slowing down and not rushing the process to get to the destination. Chances are, we're going to miss the lessons in the journey and will not be prepared for what may happen. It is through the process that we learn.The universe is foolproof. If it sees that you can't hold and sustain what you desire, it's not going to allow you to have it. It wants us to learn first so we can be ready.Some of the best lessons come from failure. We can't do everything perfectly the first time. It's not realistic to always be good at something the first time. Episode Highlights 18:32 What drives me to keep adding goalsDom: No matter how much I accomplish as an adult, I still don't feel good enough because of personal insecurities. 27:32 Why do we need to SurrenderDom: The amount of energy we use to accomplish things is far less than the power of the Universe. However hard we try, we still can't do it as efficiently, fast, and abundantly as the Universe can.42:37 Establishing a new relationship with FailureDom: I'm probably not going to fail this time because I’ll do everything I can to prepare. But even if I fail, life will still go on. 45:09 Surrender Requires trustDom: When we surrender, we admit that we need help, that we can't do it all alone, and that we open ourselves up to receive help. IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCESSupport the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

“What's more important than being centered despite the negative forces around us every day?”It's normal to react when you get triggered by people; someone pushes your boundaries, but it's essential always to ground yourself by coming back to your body throughout the day. It’s important to take some deep breaths and allow yourself space to calm down.In this episode, I guide you to reset your body and rebalance from an exhausting day of triggers. We use the pulse breath, taking two breaths in through the nose and two out through the mouth and let peace and tranquility replenish us. As you breathe, know that you own your power to regulate and control your thoughts and release emotions that don't serve your peace and purpose. As a season-ending episode, let remind you that you are strong, and I'm so proud of you for taking care of yourself and staying authentic and aligned with your Inner Being!

“The beauty of how seasons change is all connected to how nature flows. And we humans, as part of nature, shall flow by how seasons are leading us to navigate life and businesses in a more aligned and authentic way.”As far as acknowledging what is true for me matters most in how I show up, I'm living life in alignment and authenticity. And that means self-reflecting and resting this January, just like how nature is hibernating with the cold weather. This is the perfect time to gather and regenerate my energy. As I close the curtain for season two, I want to remind you all to pay attention to yourself and honor how you feel. Stay with what is true for you. Even If it means resting for a moment, that's better. It makes us more productive and intuitive rather than punishing and pushing ourselves to do things that aren't authentic to how we feel. This is the best time to put yourself together, to wrap everything up, to come back refreshed, rejuvenated and new for Spring. After all, we are just humans, not machines. We will always seek balance and rest. See you soon for Season Three!Exceptional HighlightsThe rest of nature hibernates during winter, but we humans start the year in January, in the middle of the winter season—pushing productivity and setting goals, which go against our natural biology. It's time to make changes from the place of authenticity and alignment with the season  and gear ourselves up for the goals.It feels good to intentionally decide to pause and slow down and remind ourselves to honor how we feel and to work with what is true for us. It is essential to be mindful of the rhythm of the season and your energy timeline-wise. Know when to slow down and nurture, and allow yourself time to reflect and awaken before you set goals to build, produce, harvest and store.   Episode Highlights 09:49 How creating the course is meant for my Healing JourneyDom: GROUNDED came to me as something that I was assigned to create, but it was also the medicine that I needed.26:46 Paying attention and honoring our Authentic VoicesDom: We must accept and acknowledge what is true for us instead of feeling guilty. 36:17 Finding Alignment and Authenticity with SpringSupport the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

“Sometimes when we are out of words or out of control of things, we tend to breathe deeply. And then find light from there.”Our breathing is automatic. We don't have to work so much in our system to breathe. And in us humans, it's a sign of life and vitality. So what more would it be if we were mindful of our breathing?For today's episode, I'm helping you allow yourself to release the tension in your mind through the box breathing technique. This practice helps ease up your busy and loud mind that is trying to be the superman to most in the pictures or your imagination. This time let breathwork be the hero.Know that you can release and clear whatever thoughts are weighing on your head. You can pause and breathe them out whenever things feel noisy. Or you may want to declutter your mind. You can always plug yourself into this episode. If this helps, share this breathwork healing and love with friends, family, or whoever needs to hear this. More details about BreathworkWhat is breathwork?Breathwork is the act of conscious breathing and allows us to move energy and emotions from the body. What are the benefits of breathwork?Breathwork has many benefits including immediate reduction of stress & anxiety, more energy, and mental clarity, releasing trauma that is stored in the body, and accessing your intuition.Physical sensations may incur including: Tingling throughout the body, lightheadedness or pressure in the head, temperature changes, cramping, tetany, or emotional release such as crying.Disclaimers:Please don't practice breathwork while pregnant, driving, taking medications, or experiencing medical conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure, depression, or chronic panic attacks.

“There are certain things that only a few can fill our cup, replenish us and be able to sew the broken pieces, helping us go back to a more resourced space.”While we are all equipped to hold something, we expect others to do the same. But it’s helpful to know that we each have differences in adapting accordingly and communicating our thoughts effectively. That’s why we must deepen our capacity to hold space for others and build emotional awareness.So this episode, Menaadchi and I discuss Non-Violent Communication to heal intergenerational trauma and let go of things that are not ours to carry. Meenadchi is a somatic healing practitioner whose work centers on the softness of meeting our best self and deepening into our collective light. Using a blend of Family Constellation Therapy and Non-Violent Communication, Meenadchi supports inquisitive individuals and entrepreneurial changemakers in reconnecting with the intuitive wisdom of your bodies so that we can co-create intergenerational healing by changing the way we speak to ourselves, each other, and the universe.Even when we are already healed and we help other people heal, there are still spaces where healing is needed.  Exceptional HighlightsWe all have different capabilities that we can hold, and some of us can hold trauma like it doesn't feel overwhelming. And we must recognize that there is a gap in each individual's capacity to set boundaries and expectations so we can still show up in the relationship.It's freedom and worth it to internalize the factors that shaped us and understand how to show up better for each other and with each other while honoring one's capacity. So we take less responsibility for other people's behaviors and actions.Joy is a deep sense of warm trust and warm faith in the core of my stomach. And going back to this kind of place is a big thing.Episode Highlights16:17 What is Non-Violent Communication?Meenadchi: It's not true that everybody can speak their needs into spaces at any time. There are spaces where unsafe. It's essential to navigate well and be mindful of the nuances around you.27:59 What is Intergenerational TraumaMeenadchi: Trauma is any incident that Support the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

“One of the things that can move us through life’s cycles is outgrowing where we are currently. That's why it's essential to step evolve and not get stuck in one place.”We are all spiritual beings living a human existence. And there are times when we need to declutter to get a better picture of what wants to be birthed within us. We must be mindful that the life cycles and nature are our guides to help us tap into ourselves and to stay aligned. We move with pure intentions when we understand the cycles of life. And we must remember to dance through and enjoy those cycles. Remember, we go inward for us to go outward. For this episode I am joined by April McMurtry for her to share her Lunar wisdom with us. April is a dynamic Lunar facilitator, course creator, and founder of THE MOON IS MY CALENDAR. April loves to share the language of the Moon to help us access our inner wisdom - inspiring us all to take care of ourselves, each other, and the Earth! Join me in learning about the Lunar Cycle and how to listen to our body's rhythmic energy patterns and dance with the cycle to breathe purpose and alignment into our  lives. Exceptional HighlightsWe must live and embody what we teach to our people to emulate our powerful message. It can look like coming stepping back from practices for maintenance and prioritizing ourselves.Bringing our mindfulness, attention, and awareness to the moon's pulse of natural cycles can transform our thoughts, experiences, and emotional state through a whole new lens. When we open our hearts, we know for ourselves the risks we are willing to take to understand what we have, what we can do, and what we can hold. Much like the energy of a rose, you will not see its beauty without its petals and thorns. Episode Highlights17:02 The Journey to understanding alignment with Lunar TimeApril: The best way to communicate the moon's guidance is to find it within your body or the BREATH.29:50 Rhythmic Energy Cycle as a start to following the Lunar CalendarApril: Is my energy spiraling outward?

“It’s okay to not be okay and to need help. That doesn't make you weak; it just makes you human. Instead, reconnect, and find the purpose and meaning of your soul.”We all have our “social media lives” where we share our wins and highlights with friends and family. But we don't show when we are struggling. Instead, we battle silently with life, afraid to show the world what is really going on. To support those around us that may need help, we have to recognize the signs that someone is not okay.This episode is a response to the shocking death of Stephen tWitch Boss. It's a reminder of the beauty of life, and encouragement that you are worthy of help and are capable of healing.Life is full of highs and lows. We must learn to handle our failures, release what is no longer serving us and be open to talking about our pain with those we trust.Exceptional highlightsSocial media can be dangerous. People lose loved ones to death by suicide, which is unexpected and shocking. The images that we see in the public oftentimes are not real. We never know if people are in pain, depressed, or in danger.Our mind can make us believe that something is wrong with us, that people will judge us, that we are broken, or that we are a burden to others. And we tell ourselves these stories and it can be dangerous to get stuck in that place.When we breathe, we can access trillions of cells, restructure ourselves, let things go, and release the negative energy our cells hold. With the help of a trusted breathwork facilitator, this can help to release stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression.Episode Highlights15:02 What is Mental HealthMental health is a state of being mentally well and optimal; is the capacity to cope with everyday stresses of life.37:34 Talk Therapy alone is not EnoughWe typically talk to a therapist or psychologist; it stops there with no releasing or healing happening because we're just talking through things.

"Each human [design] needs to connect and move with each other, from energetic capacities, gifts, and wisdom to understand our purpose deeper." How many times were you told to do this and be like that? And how did you release the pressure to show up your own way? In this episode, I am joined by Elyse Preston to discuss Human Design as a tool for understanding life and our unique gifts. She is an Intuitive Life Coach and Human Design Guide and does healing, leadership, creativity, and spirituality works. Each of us is different, and we function in our purpose better if we understand our human design type. As incredibly diverse and unique individuals, we have our own strategy, inner authority, specific skills and gifts to live and fulfill in this lifetime. So as we grow and evolve to our true destination, it's essential to plug into the human design that we are to walk highly aligned and move authentically along our path. Exceptional HighlightsWhen it's time to grow and evolve, our soul will raise its own ceiling and clear out the basement, even if it looks very tiring.It's hard to level up to what your soul wants to do when your mind is kept safe in a box that is thinking too small.Discomfort is temporary. It's something that we get to move through to experience greater alignment and abundance and to keep away from places that no longer fit or are serving our purpose well.Episode Highlights08:45 Signs of being disconnected from your purposeElyse: I was asked to hold and didn't receive support and resources to meet my expectations and noticed myself being short with people and being harsh and rude, which is not who I want to be. 23:24 The Power of intuition and dishonoring external validationsElyse: My body and soul told me I could do it and go for it. That was all I could hear internally, despite receiving a very different message externally.35:49 What is Human Design?Elyse: Human design is based on your unique date of birth, time, and place. It is about understanding the subtle energies at work inside and outside us. It's a system that focuses on our actions, giving us a whole new language to tSupport the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

You have to stay in the fire; you have to stay where it's uncomfortable. You’ll only play safe and afloat in your comfort zone. Go where there is growth.What's one thing that's holding you back? What does it look and feel like to start doing what you should have been doing? Yeah, I know. There's fear and discomfort.Oftentimes, our minds are so cluttered and are battling with voices in our head from other people or family. And for me, it's wrong to make a decision from a frantic space. I've been there, and it led me to most mistakes. But as I learn to balance my emotions and identify the ego from my Higher Being, things come super clear. And the fear and discomfort of leaving my comfort blanket no longer resides. In this episode, I share how I take control of my emotional home, like doing yoga, meditation, and breathwork to tap into my Higher Self. It's time to place the ego in the back seat.Exceptional HighlightsWe need to balance both our ego and the Higher Self. You cannot get rid of your ego completely. You must keep calm, take control, and let your Higher Self take the driver's seat while putting your ego in the passenger's seat. We must clean our emotional home through mindset and spiritual work to find more clarity and help us get in alignment with our purpose in life. One of the most important things to do is surrender. You have to be willing to take your hands off the steering wheel and let the universe, source, God, or whatever you believe in, as far as higher power step in and intervene on your behalf.Episode Highlights18:14 The price of following the Inner Wisdom Dom: Everything started to open up the minute I obey my Higher Self. It felt like the universe, source, God, ancestors, or angels were waiting for me to make a move.21:18 How to decide according to the Inner CompassDom: I never make a decision whenever I'm confused because I know that it’s not the energy of my higher self. 36:13 What happens when we SurrenderDom: I was doing yoga one day when I decided to surrender, ugly crying and that was when I clearly understood what I needed to do.37:17 The Art of grounding ourselves Support the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

"We all need to be held and supported by ourselves and one another."Do you know what it means to be resilient with pain, get through it, and end up on the other side with a greater sense of purpose?As humans life comes with its fair share of struggles. But we are resilient. We are designed to release pain and to get past it. When we choose to heal, we evolve into truly purposeful humans, no longer being victims to our past stories but instead letting our pain be the key to our destiny. Helping us to find greater purpose for ourselves and others. Remember, you’ll never be led wrong on your journey as long as you listen to and trust your intuition. In this episode, Sam Akers and I have a wonderful conversation about past trauma, which was the root of her illness. She was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia in 1998. However, it was when she found Restorative Yoga and Buddhist Mindfulness that helped her to heal and catapulted her onto the path she is walking today. Listen as she shares with us how these tools helped her transform from a person struggling with pain into someone who now holds space for others to heal every single day.Exceptional HighlightsIn restorative yoga, the REST aspect helps balance the polyvagal system, the vagus nerve. It gives the ability of the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, and enteric nervous system in the gut to come back into balance slowly.There are only two actual true things happening in the present moment. Something comes in through our body’s senses; if it's interesting enough, awareness knows it. From there, we get to choose what we believe with this newfound awareness. It takes practice, training, and dedication to be kind and compassionate around the discomfort and pain we experience and see how our minds cause our suffering. Episode Highlights27:19 The vision to pay forward the healing received.Sam: I made a conscious decision to help others heal and imagined what my life would look like when I was well.40:00 Phenomenal things about Restorative YogaSam: Restorative yoga offers rest and resets all body systems to connect to ourselves, to the heart, and to the mind. 43:10 WhySupport the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!

"Healing is remembering your most authentic self. Who you were before the world told you who you needed to be. It's a process of shedding and releasing all the things that no longer serve you, whether it's beliefs, patterns, or ways of thinking."You've probably heard that healing is a process. But what does that mean, exactly? It means you'll be shedding old habits and beliefs that no longer serve you—and it's going to be messy. Healing is the process of remembering your most authentic self before society told you who you needed to be “successful”.We all deal with things in our lives that don't feel aligned. Whether it's a relationship that isn't working or an unhealthy habit, or a job that sucks the life out of us, we all find ourselves trying to fit into the mold society has created for us—a mold that isn't always healthy or true to who we are deep down inside. And as we allow ourselves to remember the person we are destined to be, we realize how much of our programming isn't serving us. Thankfully, there is a way to break free from that mold—and find our way back to our true identity, our most authentic self—and it starts with healing. Healing is about loving yourself and nourishing your mind, body, and spirit so that you grow and transform into who you're meant to be. I've been committed to my own healing journey for a few years now, and I'm here to tell you that it isn’t easy. But today, I am a completely different version of myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. Saying yes to the journey is one of the best things that ever happened to me.I am an advocate for the transformative power of MEDITATION, BREATHWORK, and YOGA. These are powerful tools for aligning your mind, body, and soul. EXCEPTIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:Your heart and internal wants and desires don't always match up with the world, society, and the people around us. Once you allow your light to shine, there's no dimming it. We have to awaken from our state of autopilot.Our inner voice is always giving us nudges that things are off. But the mind is so loud all of the time that we learn to constantly ignore our intuition and internal guidance system.Highlights:10:48 Healing as a Process of RememberingDom: Healing is remembering the Support the Show.IMPORTANT LINKS AND RESOURCES: Free DISCOVERY CALL To Learn More About 1:1 Coaching With Dom Get my NEW BOOK, Hold Space To Heal Ladies, you NEED my new SOUL-CARE CARD DECK in your life!
