S1E7 Steps to Take Before You Leave a Job and Start Your Own Thing

Have you been thinking of leaving your job and starting your own business? Have you known for some time that your job is not serving you but staying because you haven't known what to do instead or because you feel loyal to someone at work? Thanks to the COVID pandemic, 2021 was dubbed the year of the Great Resignation. Yet, despite how many have left, some of you remain on the fence, feeling unappreciated, toying with starting a business, but staying where you are because you're uncertain of what to do next.
 
Our society is long overdue for a "Great Rejuvenation": a time where we are all valued for our contributions at work and get opportunities to contribute to society in ways that feed our souls and our bank accounts. If the idea of starting your own business has been on your mind, but you don't know where to start, in this episode, you'll learn:
 
- steps to take before leaving your current employment
- a soul searching, self-reflection activity to help you define what you want next
- a simple way to come up with your idea for a viable business

S1E6 How Empaths Can Transmute Anger Into Creativity — with Monica Canducci

Have you ever lost control of your temper to the point you said or did something you deeply regretted? Something way out of character for you? Something you wish you could take back? The recent incident at the Oscars between Will Smith and Chris Rock has put the topic of anger on the minds of many. It was a particularly shocking event because Will is someone who has done a lot of work on himself, so his act seemed way out of character for him. I've seen many good people lose their temper briefly as if out of nowhere, and I thought Will’s episode at the Oscars was an opportunity to explore what causes good people to act out, and of course, how to put an end to outbursts, and transmute anger into more positive expression.
 
In this episode, Monica Canducci, an author, artist, Certified Rolfer, and Transformation Coach, joined me to share how we can transmute anger into creativity.
 
Episode Overview
- how atrocities in the world are affecting the emotional state of empaths
- how to find the message and meaning in anger, and use it to grow and heal 
- powerful practices you can use right away to tame your anger dragon

If you've ever worried about having to choose between expectations others have of you and a dream for your future, this episode is a must listen for you. In a world that encourages us to assimilate, to not stand out, to not make waves or disrupt others, many heart-centred people struggle to put themselves first, prioritizing the needs of those around them, often putting off their hopes and dreams to "be there" for others. But by putting off hopes and dreams, we set an example for loved ones not to follow their dreams either. (People copy what we do.)
Is it time for you to go after a dream? 
In this episode you'll learn:
how to overcome self-imposed limits
how to include others in your success 
a thinking vitamin to reveal your limiting beliefs, 
an activity to help you clarify YOUR next dream!
