14 Powerful Affirmations to Love & Appreciate Your Body (Meditation Style)

The words we say to ourselves have incredible power and it can be so hard to move from the critical mind to one of self-love, especially if we have a lifelong habit of being hard on ourselves. Often, we simply don't know what else to say to ourselves, we don't have anything good to replace the negative thoughts. 
This episode is designed for you to repeat after me - I say an affirmation and you repeat it, we do that twice with each positive and accepting phrase. 
Some great places to listen and participate are:
When getting ready for the day in the mornings.
When getting ready for bed in the evenings.
When getting ready to go out with friends, on a date, to a meeting, etc.
When you have time to simply lie or sit still with your eyes closed. 
Driving in the car.
I purposely made this a little shorter so you could use it from beginning to end easily.

1. Help you see that you're not alone when it comes to a *cough* complicated journey with your body, and perhaps how you view yourself in photos as well.
2. Provide inspiration around finding a unique blend of your gifts - gifts that you may have long forgot about or several gifts that you never realized could fit together in a beautiful way - and bringing that to the world.
3. Share with you my personal journey around my body (boobs) struggles and how that plus my gift as a photographer and experience and passion for personal and spiritual growth has led me to create Lens of Love. Hear what other women have experienced so far, what my hope for it is and see if it's for you.

✨Have You Suffered Enough to Bring Your Dreams to Life?✨

We hear it all the time: stories of how people rose up from the ashes to become incredibly powerful, influential people who go on to do amazing things in this world. We’ve seen Disney movies that tell us that a parent needs to die in order for us to find the love of our life. We are inundated with the idea that we must suffer in order to have an incredible life and for our dreams to come true, and it becomes all too easy to take this on subconsciously, and to repeatedly pull ourselves back from our absolute, most incredible highest potential until we feel that we have…suffered enough.
This past weekend I spent four days inside of Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within event, and I challenged my own belief of not having suffered enough, and I want to share with you, if you have a similar belief, how I blasted that wide-open, and how you can too, and start taking action right this moment on the truly abundant life that was meant for you.

Being Authentic & Looking for Authenticity Online: Whether You’re Seeking Solace, to Build Your Business or to Find a Coach, There’s Real & Fake Authenticity Everywhere

Ah, that giant buzzword "authenticity." We're looking for it at every turn, especially in this highly curated world we live in. We want to see people being truly authentic - meaning, we want to know that their truth as a human being is just as messy, hard, beautiful, joyful, wrecked and full of potential as we feel our own is. We want that permission to simply BE OURSELVES without shoving parts of us under the rug, pretending they don't exist. And we look for other people who are living examples of that permission.
 
In this episode, I dive into just a few of the many, many waters of the overall authenticity conversation. Having worked with women solopreneurs for years now, I know how many of them are thinking, "I want to grow my business online, but I don't want to have to share everything about myself!" How do you navigate that and also do what it takes to live your purpose in this world? I discuss!
 
What about coaches and programs with leaders claiming over and over to be "authentic" all while having some shady sales tactics? This one deserves several of its own episodes, but I start the discussion here! 
 
And what can transparency teach us as it relates to our feelings of vulnerability around being authentic online? Turns out, a good bit!
 
Tune in and share in this conversation by sharing the episode with some of your own thoughts!

Showing Up & Staying Consistent During a Season That Requires More Time, Energy & Presence Elsewhere

Not a full episode, not a sparkle snack. This is what showing up during seasons that ask for more of our energy looks like for me in this moment. Here’s what’s happening in my life in this season and how I’m learning to embrace it and still show up. Would love to know if you relate.

🎙️So You Want to Start a Podcast?!🎙️ Step Into Your Power & Embrace Your Innate Bravery with ReNae Ione

In 2014, ReNae Ione had the opportunity to get a reading from a psychic for the first time. But she didn't want to go because she was afraid the psychic would tell her what she knew she should probably do - leave her husband. 
Since then she's become a life coach, trained in reiki healing, hypnotherapy, yoga nidra, breathwork, EMDR, EFT, sound healing, human design and has done not one, but TWO 10-day silence retreats. 
She's about to launch her podcast "Born to Be Woo" any minute now! People have been telling her for years that she should have a podcast - perhaps you can relate! And, even though she's always jumping in and learning new things and filling her plate that way, she's excited about what a journey into podcasting could open up for her.
ReNae has an incredible track record of following the brave path. She combines life experience with her years of training into her 3-month VIP program all about stepping into your power! 
This episode is awesome for those who feel like they haven't yet found their way, have recently found it or have had it for a while, but are open to seeing what else is available. Enjoy!

🎙️So You Want to Start a Podcast?!🎙️Pranks, Rate Your Outfit & Faux Psychic Readings - a Fun and Hilarious Podcast Idea from Mary Jane Murphy

When you were younger, did you ever go driving with your dad for the sake of pulling pranks and practicing your comedy stylings on random strangers on the street? No? Well, Mary Jane Murphy did! It seems she was destined for comedy! 
 
In this episode we definitely go in all kinds of directions (hello, welcome to two people who like to riff), but we have a blast. Just some of the things we discuss:
 
Sneaking into the circus by pulling a scam with her dad
When coaches want you to pay thousands of dollars for their program to teach you "how they made their millions," but really they had a very favorable scenario
MJ's gorilla comedy
What it's like for her in the world of comedy
Expanding on her podcast idea
My daughter's old YouTube channel (ARE YOU WATCHING IT?! #insidejoke - listen to the episode to be on the inside)
Cold weather
Death
Oh, yeah, we cover all that and more. Mary Jane was truly a treat to have on and I hope you have as much fun listening as I did talking with her! And I hope that our conversation helps spark something in you or gives you permission in some way to take action on YOUR amazing dreams!

🎙️So You Want to Start a Podcast?!🎙️ Creating a Podcast to Keep Connection Through a Cancer Journey (with Debra Pivko)

Big energy. Go, do, more go. Beachbody, the Grammys. Today's guest, Debra Pivko, is as social and upbeat as they come. She was living a busy life that was fun, but also had her feeling like she was always behind.
 
It wasn't until 6 years ago and her cancer diagnosis that she was forced to slow down. Although, after hearing this episode, you might wonder what her full-throttle looked like if THIS is slowing down!  But either way, she was forced to care for herself in new ways that disrupted her usual way of life. In the process, she's been on a journey to create things that allow her to be as social and helpful as she can while still honoring her body.
 
A cheerleader for others, she's recently started a website to showcase women called Female Power Players. And her most recent idea that's lighting her up is that of...you guessed it...a podcast! 
 
On this episode we dive into her routine, her vision for how she wants to show up, and how a podcast could be a perfect way to keep her self-care rhythms while also feeling social. It's an awesome episode if you need some encouragement and some ideas when it comes to honoring a season you may be in that you'd rather not be in.
 

🎙️So You Want to Start a Podcast?!🎙️ Calling All Gen X Women! This One’s For You! (with Heather Lambert)

LIfe in the 70s and 80s may now be looked back on by younger generations as cool and "vintage," but there were much deeper experiences for women growing up at that time. They felt the expectations of their grandmother's generation, urging them to go, do and be all the things that they couldn't - but what that often looked like was, at best, a corporate ladder (with glass ceiling) career. 
 
Sitting here in the early 2020s, these women have raised kids, gone/going through perimenopause and are into menopause. And many of them (us? I'm on the cusp of X and Millennial) are asking, "If I'd had different tools, would I have made different choices?" right along with today's guest.
 
Heather Lambert is here to fire up the conversation around the women of generation X - creating space to talk about their experiences growing up, what they're facing now and normalizing starting over and starting something NEW at this point in their lives. 
 
It's a fantastic conversation for gen x'ers, obviously, but also for the younger folk who may want to know that their future doesn't end in their 30s.

4 Steps to Easily Take Imperfect Action

"Do it scared! Done is better than perfect! Take imperfect action!"
 
We see & hear these growth mindset go-for-it-now mantras seemingly everywhere we look. Do you ever want to yell back, "OKAY, BUT TELL ME HOW!!!"? It's all well & good to just tell people to "just do it," but that doesn't work for most of us. 
 
The moment we go to "take imperfect action" all the fear comes up. What will people think? Will my friends judge me? What if I succeed and my family hates me? I can't. It's not good enough. It has to be better. If it's not perfect, why do it?
 
We keep ourselves in a stalemate, running ourselves into a downward spiral, adding to our own self-created stories of "I can't do it. I just don't know how. I'm never consistent." 
 
But what if we could create our own container of support using nothing more than our own hearts & minds and a little help from the Universe? A mental space that would allow us to take that imperfect action and move us closer to our higher selves, the versions of us that are healthier, more fulfilled, giving back, full of love and joy - the us is that is becoming? You can.
 
In this episode I share the three steps I use that support me in taking imperfect action:
 
- (prologue) Having a knowing, being lit up, excited, ready for change
- Internal & external why
- A sense of being divinely supported
- Surrender & trust
 
Enjoy! You are made for more!!
