Leadership is an ongoing process of connecting to what matters most, having a vision of what is possible, and taking inspired action to bring that vision into reality. As we embark on the path of awakening the conscious leader within, we must do the deep inner work of self-forgiveness. In this special episode, I offer an introduction to self-forgiveness, then a guided meditation to gently take you on a healing journey. The guided meditation begins at minute 6:36.

In this bonus episode, enjoy a soothing guided meditation to access your higher mind. Your higher mind is in a specific part of your brain that you can easily reach once you know where to find it. Placing your awareness in your higher mind as you focus on the sound of my voice will allow you to relax, to heal, to meet your Higher Self, and to begin manifesting your dreams. Set aside at least 30 minutes so that you can record any ideas or inspiration that you receive in this relaxed state. Feel free to listen in the morning so you can gently ease into your day, or listen as you wind down in the evening before bed if you would like to drift off into a deep, restorative sleep.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, in this episode I share a part of my journey through cancer - from the months preceding my diagnosis, to the time I first found the lump, and the aftermath that ensued. ***Trigger Warning*** There are points in the episode where you will hear me struggle to share some of the most painful moments. Until now, there were only 5 people on earth who have heard this story in this way. If you're struggling with your health or have concerns that you haven't addressed, please know none of this is meant to scare you or advise you in any way.

You and you alone are responsible for managing your energy. The more skillful you become in setting appropriate boundaries - both externally and internally, the better you will be able to manage your energy. People can only drain you if you allow them. Your job is to set appropriate boundaries to seal up energy leaks & start managing our own energy in a healthier way.

Do you consider yourself a high achiever? Are you more accepting of yourself if you've "proven" you are worthy? If so, your sense of self-worth may be tied to your accomplishments. If that's the case, there is a high probability that you are struggling with imposter syndrome more than others. Additionally, you're likely to be managing a significant amount of stress. In this episode, we'll sort out the difference between stress and self-doubt so we can get to the root of imposter syndrome. We'll uncover the fear and limited belief that keeps us stuck in neutral so we can replace it with a higher truth and move forward!
