The Path of Me

The Path of Me

By Wendy Hutchinson

Humanity is being pressed to let go of everything that is not aligned and embrace the authentic self. We are creating a new world with our thoughts and actions. Many are finding the truth of who they are and allowing themselves to shine and lead and be in service. This podcast spotlights those who have found their purpose and truth and are leading by example as they serve humanity in so many ways. They have overcome adversity, trauma, poverty, and so much more. They are here to light the way for those who feel lost. This is the focus of my show, to inspire you to be your authentic self.

Releasing the Story and Embracing our Authentic Self

Releasing the Story and Embracing our Authentic Self

From birth we are creating a story around who we are, what we need to be for others, and we embody that story throughout our lives. Maybe you were the black sheep, the athlete, the good one, the addict, the dumb or smart one. Family and social messaging reinforces the labels and we take them on as our own. This is a reminder that we are not our story, not remotely close to what others believe us to be. We have subconsciously taken these labels and acted accordingly, losing our true identity, our own core values, and ultimately ourselves. LOSE THE STORY Humanity is being pressed hard to come into their own, and by that I mean stepping into their authentic self. This requires an awareness that the story we have been living and defending and exhausting ourselves with is false. It's a narrative placed on us by our nuclear family, faith, and culture. The reason you may have struggled is because it is so far from who you authentically are, it has been a constant betrayal of your soul to be anything else. It's time to find the courage to drop all the labels. Everything that has defined you to this point has highlighted your flaws and not "enough" fears. Not thin enough, successful enough, strong enough, compassionate enough. All of it is total bullshit. You came in as your beautiful self and it has always been enough. Lose the story and align with what is true for you. What are your true values? How can you become more embodied in your truth when you show up in the world? Do you have to keep up the facade and is it aligned for you? The Ego would say yes, but your Soul would say NO. THE PUSH BACK Expect pushback as you begin to change and grow into your authentic self. I've been called crazy, told I have a mental illness by those who benefited from me playing the "expected role" I was supposed to. Once I stopped bowing and serving there was a lot of gaslighting and hostility, and "concern" over my mental health because I stopped playing the game and stood in my power. What is your story? How are you aligning with your truth or betraying your truth in your life? Are you walking away from the false narratives and expectations? Are you exhausted, burned out resentful? Bring your energy back to you and stand in your power when people turn on you for being you. They aren't your people. COME BACK TO YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF There has been nothing more powerful in my life than claiming myself, living from my heart and remaining in my integrity, always. I know who I am. Know that you are not here to meet other's expectations, despite a lifetime of programming telling you otherwise. Be aware of the part you have been playing in this Human experience. Find ways to reclaim your authentic self. Treat yourself like a best friend. Make time for yourself, do more of things that light you up. Choose you and over time you will one day wake up and your authentic self will be there. He/She has been waiting in the wings your entire life to come forward! May you all find your way!

The Art of Choosing You

The Art of Choosing You

There have been so many pivot points in my life where I had to choose me. It didn't come easily at first, I was literally lower than the dog on the priority list after kids, husband, household, chauffer, cook, work, dogs then me. I put myself there because my programming told me that's where I belonged. REFLECTING BACK I was thinking yesterday of how many times I had to choose myself to get here. To become fully empowered and own and claim my worthiness required so many micro and macro choices, choosing myself and what was best for me over and over without compromising myself. I got SO MUCH push back from everyone around me because I stopped serving them in the way they were used to. I cooked less, I took time for myself, I bought myself flowers. Once I began pouring love into myself and finding my self worth (which is inherent not earned or achieved), it became easier and easier to say no to things that cost me my integrity, my truth, and my alignment with my SOUL! This is a reminder to be brave and courageous as you navigate forward in life. You ARE WORTHY of that trip, of that manicure, of that dozen roses or night out with friends. You are given a choice, don't be afraid to make it. THE PUSHBACK The more practiced you become in choosing you, the bigger the choices become. It's not just about taking yourself out for a coffee with a friend, it becomes questions around everything you are choosing. Is this job toxic, is this relationship toxic, are my friends really true friends? Boundaries naturally follow as you protect your energy and time and nurture yourself. People who benefitted from your service and unyielding commitment to others at your own expense will NOT like it when you stop existing to meet their expectations. Brace for the fall out and stand in your power. THE GIFT I've found that as I choose myself and honor my time and energy, things come together and align for my highest and best. Life comes into a more flow state. It takes time, it takes consistent choosing of what supports me, but I know in the end, even with hard calls and boundaries, I'm better for it. Be bold and brave as you navigate those tight narrow hard spaces and know that the world is waiting for you! Learn more about me here: https://www.alinealifecoaching.com

Burnout to Healing ~ Learning What Really Matters In Life - Mental Health/Sleep/Joy

Burnout to Healing ~ Learning What Really Matters In Life - Mental Health/Sleep/Joy

Helen Serentt was in a development position for a huge non profit. She raised $50,000,000 (yes million) which changed a lot of lives, but the bar kept being raised. Expectations kept increasing and the mission changed from giving donation access to many, to focusing on the smallest group of uber wealthy top 1% of the 1%. It was demanding, exhausting, and taking a toll on her physical and emotional health. Her motto, "I can sleep when I'm dead" was soon to be her downfall. THE BURNOUT IS REAL While fundraising had it's feel good moments, the pressure brought her to a breaking point. Her physical body was breaking down. Basic tasks were difficult to complete. She was failing at her job. A few years prior she went to the doctor to focus on balancing hormones and her blood pressure was 200/100. Imagine the burnout and health issues 3 years later. She had an inner knowing she needed a sabbatical. Instead of rest and restoring she spent the 1st 3 weeks finishing work projects, the next month resting, and the last having extreme anxiety about returning to work. It was obvious this was a career ending. THE UNWORTHINESS CREEPS IN Not knowing who she was or what she was going to do sparked deep sleep anxiety. No productivity was happening during her sabbatical, a feeling of not enough, unworthiness, but at the same time she was forced to sit with herself, be calm and be with herself. It was basically an existential crisis! THE HEALING 2023 was a healing year, she continued having sleep issues and wanted a podcast with someone reading lists of things to help her fall asleep. It didn't exist, this is how her podcast Sleep Lists was born. It has since moved into a space of providing resources and having a sleep expert on the show once a month. It has been powerful and transformative! This important time offered complete focus on healing, recuperation and convalescence. Sometimes we need to give ourselves the grace of time to find our Soul purpose. SLEEP DEPRIVATION CREATED THE PODCAST SLEEP LISTS Sleep deprivation kept Helen awake at night. Her brain wouldn't turn off despite great tools and sleep hygiene. Helen needed sleep skills because her circadian rhythm was off. Her thoughts spiraled at night. She created Sleep Lists for herself, but also felt she could offer it as a service to other sleep deprived people out there.

Facing Fear and Choosing Your Path at the Crossroads

Facing Fear and Choosing Your Path at the Crossroads

Aloha! Today's video is about facing fear as we approach major life crossroads. There's a collective shift happening and those who have felt a strong call to service are feeling the push/pull of stepping into their power and purpose or remaining the same. CONFRONTING FEAR AND CHANGE An automatic default to change is often fear. Change is uncomfortable because we don't know the how, when, why. There are details that have yet to present and it requires tremendous faith to keep walking in the direction of our dreams without any kind of guarantee. It's also tempting to hold onto our comfort zone even when we have far outgrown our circumstance. Knowing this, it is imperative that you lean into your fear and move forward. This is the reason you incarnated on the planet, this very moment, to step into your purpose and power. THE CROSSROADS The Crossroads is a choosing of YOURSELF and what is aligned FOR YOU. Taking the aligned steps in your life requires incredible faith and courage in yourself. The people who benefit from you remaining the same will make it difficult for you. They may gaslight you, criticize you, make you feel unworthy and small. None of it is true. Those are words spoken from the wounded individual. Those are deep unhealed traumas from their past, not yours. Navigating the crossroads requires you to take the first step, then the next. They say the road will rise to meet you and it does. For me it rises to meet me at every point. It will be what I decide it will be because I command my experience here. ANSWER THE CALL If you are feeling the call to step out of your comfort zone, and it's a deep resonant SOUL knowing, maybe it's time. Make aligned choices for yourself. Map it out in your mind, draw it, dream it, create it! Imagine all the connections you will make when you step fearlessly into your future. Find the people who will support you, let go of the people who do not. May you all step into your lanes at this pivotal time. Make those bold moves, dig deep, love yourselves through! You got this!

Soul Searching and Tapping Into Your Inner Smile (Heart)

Soul Searching and Tapping Into Your Inner Smile (Heart)

Steve Barrett has done a lot of Soul searching in his life. He remembers as early as 3 or 4 years old asking "what happened to God?" He suffered from depression throughout his life that pushed him deeper into seeking. In his 20's Steve moved back to the States from Germany. He had gone through a divorce and despite feeling content, there was a knowing he would move back the U.S. and he honored it. He has always been connected and had a similar knowing about becoming a vegetarian. THE EGO vs SELF LOVE: The Ego is built on discomfort. When you're in your Ego you look at the world through the lens of discontent. He has done so much work around the Ego and read books like Eckhart Tolle "The Power of Now" which helped him focus more on presence and awareness. Recently he tapped into a feeling of Self Sustaining Joy. He heard "that's what self love feels like" while he was in this state. He noticed he was finding beauty in the stillness and in simple things. Being the observer used to be Ego driven, kind of pushing things away like they couldn't touch him. It was kind of a cold detachment and almost protective mechanism: Nothing can touch was was the feeling. TAPPING INTO THE INNER SMILE: Steve started tapping into what he called the inner smile. It's a joy inside not caused by or affected by anything. It doesn't need anything, it's just a natural state of being. It just IS. It was connection through the lens of love and joy. He was observing from the Soul Self instead of the Ego. Becoming the observer from this space allowed him to release control. Instead of trying to control an outcome or a person, he could pause and observe and remain silent, or offer something from his heart space. Now he observes with love. HIS WORK AS A HOSPICE NURSE: Steve's work as a Hospice nurse allows him to be very present with the sick and dying. He says a silent prayer before he goes into every room, asking that whatever is appropriate energetically be given to his patients. Even when he has a long list of patients, he takes his time to be with each one. It's incredibly rewarding work. He offers the knowing that we are abundant, the Universe connected to God, the eternal. When you can connect to that inner smile you'll feel a lot release. It was an honor to have him on the show.

The Power of an Ego Death and What Really Matters in Life

The Power of an Ego Death and What Really Matters in Life

Ivo Nelson was an incredibly successful business man. He made more money than he could spend in this lifetime and had it all: the cars, the homes, the income and power of a business executive. He took Healthlink through a massive purchase by IBM, and worked for them for awhile, then participated in more than 9 start ups as an investor, advisor, and CEO and sat on more than 20 Boards. He developed a love based corporate culture which allowed his companies to thrive and produced more CEO's from those companies than any other company. Despite his incredible success and all the material things you can dream of, it all came crashing down after a business trip. One Friday he walked in from a business trip to a brand new custom designed home. He put his bag down and looked around at the perfection of it all and realized he lost everything that mattered to him. His wife, his kids, his family were all collateral damage of a highly successful career. Ivo cried more tears than he knew he held inside. So much so he had to drive around with a towel to wipe away the tears. It was at this pivotal moment, he knew without a doubt he had to win his wife back. Listen to this incredible story about an Ego death and rebirth into an open hearted love based focus on living and how he has lived his life using Meditation as a daily tool and connecting energetically to create his intentions every morning before he starts his day.

Fear of Moving Into the Unknown ~ Do it Anyway

Fear of Moving Into the Unknown ~ Do it Anyway

Answering that internal call to purpose feels uncomfortable. The inner stirring to do something different can involve changing relationships, letting people go, a passion project, or birthing something completely new, a new direction to move in.


If you are asking questions like, what will they think? What if I'm not loved? How do I live my truth with courage and with fear? The inner work has begun. We all have those fears. Do it anyway. Being true to you is the biggest power move you can make and living from your Soul truth is necessary at this time!

Stepping into your Soul purpose can be terrifying. It's hard to change direction and pivot into the unknown. It's important to step into the role you are here to play. You incarnated at this time to step in and help Humanity create a new world. Support the New Earth with your gifts and talents to play your role here. Is Fear holding you back? You chose this incarnation exactly at this time to serve humanity moving forward.

You have already laid that path prior to your Human Incarnation. Your work and what you create will be so unique to you. Do not be discouraged by the people around you doing amazing things. Do it anyway! Take the step and do it with discomfort.

We always learn and grow through the process. Detach from the outcome. It's never a loss if things don't work out the way you intended. We are gifted so many lessons as we go forward.

Stand in your light. So many of us have been unseen, unsupported and even shamed for being different. Many of us have been afraid to come forward with our truth because of social and family pressure to remain quiet.

It was also unsafe to be vocal about our intuitive gifts and connections in the past (past lives) and our Cosmic work. It is safe now to come forward, find your people, the ones who believe in you and support you. It's time!

Fear and Control Patterns; Why We Have them and How to Break Them

Fear and Control Patterns; Why We Have them and How to Break Them

Most people are responding to life from a deep unconscious fear of not being enough. It's something planted deep in our psyche from childhood as we are "programmed" by our religions, our culture, our social circle and the need to belong. This innate desire to get approval and belong begins a lifelong pattern of filtering ourselves down to get approval and recognition and love from our families and friends and society in general. Then begins the long dance of control behaviors to be seen, approved, and included. An example is raising children to be "successful". We do all the things to "control" and "ensure" our kids have "the best" life. It looks like travel sports, academic excellence pressure, and all the things from the outside that make us look successful as a family and reflects well on us as parents. There are so many ways we are unconsciously choosing things because society tells us to. The thought and fear of not belonging is so emotionally painful. This is why, when people do not align with our personal agenda, we suffer. We literally feel emotional suffering when people (kids, family members, spouses, friends, and outcomes) don't meet our expectations. To avoid this we literally try to control everything in the name of doing what's best for them, when in reality it's doing what's best for YOU, because the emotional discomfort of that fear program is too much to handle. So we push people, we exhaust ourselves trying to be and do and thrive, and put on that happy face. Slowly the reserves draw down and here you are completely empty inside and burned out and resentful. Are you a perfectionist? Are you driving yourself to excellence always? If yes, this comes from the need to belong and feel loved. This video provides some helpful tools to help you break the program.

Jenn Baljko Talks About The Fine Line Between Fear and Courage

Jenn Baljko is a bright light helping women with how to find Joy, and also help others through the story writing process.

Purchase her best selling book here: https://www.amazon.com/Fierce-Awakenings-Calling-Courage-Confidence/dp/B0CJH7S5VN/ What's the tipping point between fear and courage? What is that Jenn walked from Bangkok to Barcelona and had a lot of fear during her year long journey. It has now been made into a documentary. Listen to our conversation from 2022 here about her Bangkok to Barcelona Journey:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3rxKL726eUEDbaZyFYgBLD?si=ae82194f03324f76 The willingness to find support along the way and be open to kindness of the people they met reinforced her courage. Her passion is nurturing women and help people find joy, encouraging them through mentorship to take the joy journey and let go of the fears. She facilitates meditation and body movement to encourage the creative process. To reinvent yourself is a courage journey. Jenn wants to support through mentoring people who are climbing the mountain. Having climbed the mountain herself, to reach a hand back and pull them up to the top to join her and those who came before her. Her curiosity is taking her to a space of "what's beyond climbing the mountain" and for her it's kind of a mid journey where she's down below enjoying the view of all the metaphorical seeds she planted, the wild flowers down below and taking in the view and everything it took to get to the top.

Pour Into Yourself and Fill Your Cup

Hello my beautiful friends! I felt like we needed some love this month, it has been a really intense year! Before I go into that, I'm giving away 2 free ebooks of my book "Finding the Path of Me" and to enter just screenshot my podcast and post and tag me on social media. IG: @mamahutch47 and Facebook: Wendy.Hutchinson.50 OR Alinea Life Coaching I'm also on LinkedIn: Wendy Hutchinson Many transitions have taken place energetically on the planet and within us as we navigate the process of coming back to our authentic self. Everything false is being peeled back and it's emotional to let go of people, jobs, loved ones passing, and basically loss in many aspects of our lives. Incubate, nurture and love yourselves through this holiday season. Everyone is stepping into their purpose soon and it requires us to align with our true essence and authentic self. This means we must choose ourselves even when it means disappointing others. Pour love into yourself, and allow people their feelings. This moment is about returning to our authenticity. Walking through the world without the socially acceptable masks. It's hard because we lose people along the way, but they aren't our people and maybe never were. They were comfortable. What if we invited in people who loved us for who we are not who they need us to be? What if we found the people who can meet us where we are? I feel when we are authentic and living true to ourselves these people come. So, let's all give ourselves some love for making it this far and continue to choose things that support us!

Jillian Hannah Breathwork Healing

Jillian Hannah Breathwork Healing

Aloha and welcome to "The Path of Me" a place to get inspired to live your best authentic life. Please take a moment to leave me a voicemail text using the link for the show. I'd love to connect and hear your thoughts on the show (and include them in future episodes). Also, I'd love it if you would subscribe, like and share!


My guest this week is beautiful Breathwork Healer Jillian Hannah. She didn't grow up with emotional safety and felt unseen. It wasn't until she met a teacher in a college class that she felt seen. This class introduced students to something new every week: Healing, Energy Work, Cranial Sacral, Acupuncture, Yoga, meditation.

She got real honest with herself about her substance abuse patterns. After college, she had an aha moment drinking out of a bottle at 1 a.m. and she surrendered to a higher power and said "I need help."

The next day she went to work and her boss asked if she was OK, another person dropped into her life at the perfect time. It helped her find hope. In our interview she said "you have to go to the dark places sometimes to open your eyes to new possibility."

She got sober and chose to hang out with better quality people. She went through yoga teacher training, had babies, started teaching. One quote I love is "In service we receive."

Another perfectly timed introduction came at a friend's wedding. She was seated next to a couple who was into the similar things. They have since created www.nourishmindfulevents.com together and put on healing retreats all over the country. Their first international retreat will be in Italy next year 2024. Learn more here on Jillian's website

https://www.jillianlhannah.com/

She said to me, "I'm worth sharing my hope and light" and I loved that. She has found her inner voice, she's courageous and confident in her own skin. Her advice, "be unfuckable with, the world needs you right now!"

If you enjoyed the content here, please subscribe, like and share!


My next guest Daniel Holeman has been on a life long exploration of consciousness and devotion to self-realization. His journey has given him the ability to depict uplifting and profound sacred imagery. His paintings often have a strong impact on people. He invites the viewer to dive into a deeper dimension of consciousness while viewing his paintings, allowing the higher frequency imagery to activate their own higher frequencies within. The imagery activates forgotten awareness of a FELT sense of HOME - a warm familiar state of mind - and his videos are a deeply moving experience. His primary role in life is that of a messenger and guide for all (who are ready) to realize our UNITY. He offers insight, clarity and counsel on living in this world with that awareness. He is a way shower, helping people to live their unique higher purpose - their fullest potential, based on a foundation of Unity Consciousness, and the clarity of Being who we are designed to be and the role we are here to fill in life.

Kalena James Lights us up with Power Purpose Plan

Kalena James Lights us up with Power Purpose Plan

Aloha! Thanks for being here with us on the Path of Me! Please take a moment to leave a voicemail I can share on future podcasts. Leave your name, where you're from and what tools you are finding helpful on your own journey, or your thoughts about the podcast using this link:

https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson

Kalena James is a sought after Business Coach specializing in communication and business transitions and also the CEO of LyfQuest, and app to support coaches in their business! She grew up in a very abusive environment and had to do so much work to move into her power and purpose.

A pivotal marker was her 6 year old self saying "I am somebody" pushing back when she was told she would be nothing. She excelled in school and sought opportunities to be in service. As a young adult got involved with at risk youth to give back.

She felt unfulfilled until she worked with youth at a detention center that she realized she needed to have more and be more. Her story wasn't enough to help young adults to shift.

Then she went into coach training certification. How could she inspire people to live from the inside out and be inspired to change. A friend recommended she pursue the coaching. She is an IPEC coach and went through their leadership journey and training.

She confronted her own #painandtrauma through the training. How can you be the message and not just the messenger? It's a humbling journey. Through her process of healing she truly came face to face with her pain. She had a choice to make to #turnpainintopower.

Who she was was right in her face the entire time. Everything her hand touched every title and experience, she was living connected to the title of a Life Coach. The partnership of wanting people to live in the power purpose and plan. It was the title she was defining herself by, but it was the fulfillment and impact that was the purpose.


"I am the ray that causes a deep breath that awakens the soul" and she is truly an instrument in this universe to be a vessel for people to access and partner for their progress. You can exhale the weight or inhale the awakening of the soul. It's both the inbreath and outbreath.

As she stepped fully into her purpose, her world was rocked by the revelation that her father wasn't her biological father! She traced this through a 23andme DNA test which opened up a lot of emotion for her entire family. Tune in to hear all the great nuggets and wisdom bombs this beautiful lady has to offer!

Louisiana Artist Candice Alexander - Life in the Art Lane

Louisiana Artist Candice Alexander - Life in the Art Lane

Candice Alexander has been an artist her entire life. The seed was planted at age 11 when she met an artist who was in town filming a movie. She knew then, that's what she was going to do. She came from a modest background, her family of farmers lived out down a gravel country road. She spent a lot of time alone and art was always a part of her life. She started at the age of 18 with a printing press and a dream and has now built her Art career into a brick an mortar studio located at: 900 Ryan St #102, Lake Charles, LA 70601 Website: https://www.candicealexander.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/candicealexa... She gives back to her community through personal projects and collaborative projects. There was an artist collective Mural right across the street from her Studio that took 5-6 years to collaboratively create. Through this effort, they were able to provide washing machines to people in the community and help many others. It was a huge tree of life mural that unfortunately was painted over last year. Candice is known for her Fleur de Lis collection which has touched her community of Lake Charles, Louisiana and beyond. Totally humble and down to earth, our conversation covered a wide range of topics. One of my favorite quotes was "if people don't know who you are, show them!" She felt like people didn't truly know her integrity and heart and decided to take out ads, and did a lot of social media lives so people could really know who she is. Her art sales were successful because of it, and her already large following grew. What struck me the most about Candice was her authenticity, her heart and humility. She's thinking of writing a book about her journey as an artist and the different pieces she created at different times in her life. I hope she does because I'm a fan and would be the first in line to buy one. She was speaking to me from a campground Red River Rivel - a huge 9 day show in Shreveport, LA. Her impact on her community is evident in her following there that grew to 20,000!!

The Slow Dance with Darkness to Touching God

The Slow Dance with Darkness to Touching God

Welcome to The Path of Me! I thank you for being here on the journey! I would love to connect with all of you and have a new feature where you can leave a voice message for me that I can include on future episodes! Leave your name and where you are from and a couple things you are learning on your own Soul Journey, or what you are enjoying about the show here: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wendy-hutchinson Feel free to reach out personally on my social media: Instagram @mamahutch47 or FB: wendy.hutchinson.50 or Alinea Life Coaching And now, introducing our guest Christie Pierce! Christie Pierce was adopted at 5 days old into a family of 5. At the age of 25 she lost her Dad which sent her into a deep dive of alcohol to cope with the loss. She felt the abandonment of adoption, and the loss of her Dad and also isolated as she had moved to Florida from the Northeast. We talked about how our story creates life experience that validates that story (even when our story is not true). Christie is a single Mom, checked all the boxes of financial and professional success but there was an underlying need for approval from her grandmother and mother driving her. Her grandmother favored the biological grandchildren and made it very obvious to the 3 adopted ones they were loved less. After the loss of both parents (she lost her mom in 2016) Christie was dancing with demons in the light and dark. She was chasing worthiness, going through a lot emotionally. In 2020 she had a stroke that left her asking for assistance for the first time in her life. This major event and the subsequent healing opened her to a stronger connection to herself but also sent her deeper into her emotional healing. Around the time of the pandemic, she was on Instagram and saw an opportunity to go with a photographer to Iceland. Her heart was an immediate YES and she sent this stranger $10,000 to book the tour/trip. Her daughter thought she was crazy and was going to be taken advantage of! Her trip there as an amateur photographer and passionate about landscape was amazing. She felt like she was touching God as they hiked up glaciers and went into the landscape. Even before going on the trip she began receiving downloads of information, and while in Iceland she walked on glaciers and felt like she was touching God. Then, one year to the day of her stroke she touched down in Africa. It seemed like a soul retrieval of sorts laying in the silence of the night. This experience was profound and expansive on a soul level. She learned from the Maasai Tribe who welcomed them with open arms. The unconditional love and connection to the land and animals had a profound impact on her. In early 2023 Christie attended a retreat in France. The first day there, she broke her foot and found herself using google translate in a French Hospital on Easter Sunday. After returning to the States, she had surgery which required a plate, 6 screws, and had her confined to a wheelchair. She couldn't move or go upstairs and literally stayed on her couch and cried. It was the worst time of her life and she contemplated suicide. She heard, "you are going to look at yourself and feel everything." It was the slow dance with the ugliest pieces of yourself rising to the surface. All the shame, the blame, the control, and fear (everything she had avoided in her life) was flushed to the surface. It was humbling to be stripped so bare. When it was over, there was no intense clenching or feelings of being in survival mode. When you are in the abyss of darkness, no one can save you but yourself, but what is waiting for you on the other side of that healing journey is freedom. Christie is a writer of a blog and recently partially retired from her corporate job.

Stepping Into Your Power and Owning Your Truth

Stepping Into Your Power and Owning Your Truth

This conversation is rich with Josh wisdom. We covered the full range of ascension, having faith in ourselves and inner guidance, confronting the shadow. Everything from overcoming fear to embodying your truth and authentic self. Josh is truly a warrior facing his deepest secret and openly sharing his #comingoutstory. A couple years ago he woke up one morning and knew it was time. Knowing something and doing it are two completely separate things. His deadline of a July birthday to do it came and went and the internal pressure kept building. Finally in September, he told his best friend and speaking it for the first time was a huge relief. He also had the gift of being met with a lot of support and acceptance around the news. Josh has done so much work to embody his truth and raise his frequency, but the shame and hiding from his sexual orientation was keeping him from rising higher. This was a pivotal moment in his ascension journey. Owning and claiming ourselves and our truth is required to fully embrace Soul selves with love and compassion. In the process of owning and claiming himself, he set himself free to live as a fully authentic version of himself with no #secrets.

How a Car Crash and Depression Changed Julie Deem's Life and Set Her on Her Life Path

How a Car Crash and Depression Changed Julie Deem's Life and Set Her on Her Life Path

Julie Deem was in an intense car crash 10 years ago this July and it sent her into a deep depression. Grief left her feeling empty. She wasn't truly living. She had just lost someone she cared deeply about to a sudden death and hadn't been herself since. That fateful day she was not present, driving home from her job as a massage therapist and found herself drifting out of her lane, hit a fire hydrant, a light pole and a concrete wall. She was lucky to survive and her car was totaled. This began kind of an unraveling. Her long term relationship ended, she was barely there, just going through the motions. Her Masters Swim Team friends told her she didn't seem OK and should get herself together and a few other people said the same. She felt a lot of shame around her accident and was struggling. Her childhood friend called and asked her how she was doing and he began supporting her emotionally and suggested she visit Indiana and that visit turned into a move, a relationship, then marriage and two beautiful children. My favorite quote from the interview is "fear gives us 2 choices, we can forget everything and run or understand everything and rise." She worked on herself. She married in 2014, had her first child in 2015, and by 2018 found herself feeling empty again. She had lost her identity and herself. It was an annual luncheon that helped her to find purpose. She volunteered to help at the event. This was a turning point as she started coming out of her shell. In 2019 she and a friend launched a podcast called "The United State of Women" and just hit 180 episodes! She also connected with Allies in Anti Trafficking and helped them launch their podcast "The Everyday Advocate." She took their training courses and is now a certified advocate for victims of sex trafficking. She is a mentor to a young woman and they have become really close, talking almost every day. Bringing awareness to the issues not specifically to trafficking but within our system that is failing these young women is important to Julie. Realizing she had a talent for the podcast work, she focused on editing and managing podcasts for others. You can work with here by connecting here: https://www.thebusinesspodcasteditor.com Her Instagram: @indymompreneur We often don't show up for ourselves and put ourselves last. It's easy to lose our sense of self and our identity and purpose. She has learned how to love more and judge less.

The Incredible Weight Loss Transformation Journey of Christie Gunter

The Incredible Weight Loss Transformation Journey of Christie Gunter

Have you ever thought, " I should lose a few pounds," then went back to the bar or the fridge? Have you ever looked in the mirror and saw a thin person even though your clothes were telling a different story? People tend to repeat their patterns whether it's going through the drive thru for fast food, or pouring another drink. It's easy to get complacent about our health and specifically about our weight. This was the position Christie found herself in before she made the decision on the eve of Rodeo in Houston (her busiest season for her store China Baroque) to take the leap. She contacted a Health Coach she knew and embarked on the journey of a lifetime. Since then she has lost 66 lbs and counting and not only addressed her diet and habits, but also started doing the inner work to really heal the things that she was medicating through food. Emotional discomfort, the death of her mom, and her clothes not fitting right all contributed to her reaching her limit and choosing to do something about it. She now has a new lease on life. She is thriving, she is happier with herself and has become a health and wellness coach herself. She knows that if she could do it, so can you! She is walking the walk and talking the talk. A favorite quote from her was, "she was strong but she was struggling." If you find yourself ready to make a change, you can contact Christie by email: CoachChristieg2022@gmail.com or DM her on FB: Christie Lintzen Gunter Life is a gift. Everything we do is having an impact. Her 66 lb. weight lost transformation has literally changed every aspect of her life.

Intimacy Expert Allana Pratt on the Bravery of Healing and Returning Home to Herself (Mind, Body, Soul)

Intimacy Expert Allana Pratt on the Bravery of Healing and Returning Home to Herself (Mind, Body, Soul)

Allana Pratt has been living heart wide open as an Intimacy Expert and Global Media Personality. She has been layer by layer uncovering deep and vulnerable wounds as she finds her way back home to her Soul Self. Layer by layer she has been peeling back the trauma and darkness and sharing her journey with her following and clients honestly for years. Her newsletter includes exclusive videos for her followers and her Podcast Intimate Conversations is a great resource for intimacy, relationship and life perspectives and wisdom. Her journey has been one of bravery and a homecoming to self love. Through the process she has learned detachment, come more fully into her hips and her body so she can make life choices that are more empowered and aligned. She recently has let go of everything she thought she wanted to pivot and focus on a new Docuseries. Detachment has been powerful as well as the surrender that came with it. A quote I liked from the interview was, "I can't be facilitators for others if I can't be a great facilitator for myself." She has gone into the darkness and knows it well, and that allows her to hold space for someone's process and help take them home. She doesn't have to fix anyone, just hold sacred space and flow like water with them through the process.

Embracing the Goddess Within with Visionary Artist Autumn Skye Morrison

Embracing the Goddess Within with Visionary Artist Autumn Skye Morrison

Autumn Skye Art has been inspiring us with her connection to the Cosmic heart, divine feminine power, and mirroring the Goddess within with her work. Our conversation was about having the courage to move forward, always following the heart and compass it provides as we navigate life. The most important time is the here and now. All of time and space is affected by our choices. Be the change, be in Grace. She encourages us to breathe into the now moment. Everything is the balance of the in breath and out breath, give yourself permission to flow in the balance. We talked about how people relate to mistakes and know there are no mistakes. "Maybe a door will be flung open and it's going to be O.K." says Autumn. When she paints she listens to the painting even when it doesn't make sense. There's a power in being fearless. Mary Magdalene and her roll has been profound as her story unfolds and truth is revealed. She was misrepresented by the Catholic Church painted as a whore and poor woman who washed the feet of Jesus with her hair. She was in fact his wife and equal, a wealthy priestess who supported his works and missions. In 2016 the Vatican apologized for the misrepresentation. May her name be reclaimed and the true texts and knowledge of Christ Consciousness be revealed. The Divine Feminine is rising and I hope our conversation inspires you to be fearless in your pursuit of your higher power and inner knowing. May your divine connection be sparked and a fearlessness be unleashed in you as you view Autumn's art and feel the frequency of our words. You can reach Autumn through her social media: IG:  @autumnskyem  or FB: Autumn Skye Art Or https://www.autumnskyeart.com I can be reached at: IG: @Mamahutch47 or FB: Wendy.Hutchinson.50 or www.AlineaLifeCoaching.com

Soul Centered Wellness Mentor Jen Gagnon Facilitates Mind, Body and Soul Healing While Creating a Life Dreams are Made of

Soul Centered Wellness Mentor Jen Gagnon Facilitates Mind, Body and Soul Healing While Creating a Life Dreams are Made of

Soul Centered Wellness Mentor Jen Gagnon has mastered the art of manifestation. Her dreams consistently become reality as she has aligned her energy and work with her soul truth. Energy drives everything and in our conversation she talks about the importance of creating a healthy life by addressing all aspects of the Self (Mind, Body, and Soul).

Her International retreats provide adventure and also healing to many women looking for that reconnection to themselves and their inner power. Most recently she hosted a retreat in France. Due to a personal request, we published this episode after her retreat, but you can contact her at www.JenGagnon.Rocks to learn more or reach out to her on Social Media @Soulistic.Vibes on IG or Facebook Jen Gagnon or Soulistic Vibes Wellness.


We covered many topics, but the key was how she is choosing to live her life. There are #nolimits and a #fearless pursuit of her dreams. This means she is creating from the heart all the time and following her intuitive guidance. Trusting her inner knowing is something she has mastered after years of working on her alignment. #soulalignment allowed Jen to have confidence her inner knowing and allows her to guide women looking to live their best life back to themselves. Her retreats are next level with attention to every detail. They combine exploring and fun with the deep dive soul work that reconnects us to ourselves on the deepest levels. Her recent retreat to France was incredible, but unfortunately, due to the delay in publishing, we aren't able to offer a link to sign up. You can however connect to Jen on Social Media @soulistic.vibes on Instagram, FB: https://www.facebook.com/jen.gagnon.35 or via her website: https://www.jengagnon.rocks to get on the wait list for her next retreat which rumor has it will be in Greece! In our interview so many wisdom bites were offered on following your soul path, listening to the heart, and truly dreaming big and energetically aligning with those dreams. You have to "be it" to "attract it!" There truly are no limits except those we create in our minds. Jen has recently sold her home as she realized it no longer aligned with who she is becoming and moved her family to the beach. Then she had an idea of traveling with her family on a large Sailboat and an opportunity came up to purchase the exact thing they were looking for in France. After several trips she and her husband were the proud owners of a boat large enough to accommodate their family of 5 and they look forward to continuing their life adventures on land and see coming soon! As a home schooler, flexibility and freedom is a given, and with her oldest going off to college soon, they wanted to leverage their family time. Her life includes balance with mind, body and soul alignment being a top priority. She works out and makes sure she is serving delicious organic food. She is learning to bring the focus back to what are priorities to her and holding strong boundaries. Most of all, she has learned to be compassionate to herself and the importance of self love. As the owner of Soulistic Vibes, a wellness center offering Yoga, workouts and more, in addition to her own private coaching practice and helping her husband with their thriving business, her plate is full. She offers tools and practices that help her remain balanced. This has allowed her to truly create and live her best life! To learn more about Wendy Hutchinson, you can visit her website here:

Making Bold Moves During a Hard Reset

Making Bold Moves During a Hard Reset

Melissa Bonnette broke up with her boyfriend, lost a job/found a job, and sold her house within months. She decided to ask the question "what if" while deciding on a Thanksgiving break vacation.  Istanbul called and she answered.  She changed flight plans from Greece, booking instead flights to Turkey. Without any agenda she found herself wandering around the city of Istanbul and enjoying the magical unfolding. She found the Cathedral she was looking for, ate delicious meals, and spent time alone.  

We talked about doing "the work" which isn't a bad thing, she feels good about physically doing things and feels good about those accomplishments. Sometimes the inner work comes along in the process of physical work. She began noticing patterns, for instance, she stays in relationships and situations long after their expiration date.   Since the changes in 2022, Melissa feels more confident and powerful. She controls her destiny and she knows it! Compassion and understanding with boundaries around others is important. Making hard calls is also. 

"I can be whoever I want. I can change the way I see myself" are two powerful takeaways from our conversation.  The best though was "I value myself really highly.!" We should all sit with that statement for a minute or a lifetime.  With a positive relationships with herself, she invests in herself in terms of doing things that bring her joy like travel and home improvement projects. She offered these tips:   The reset is hard - do something different  Reward yourself for knowing there's a problem  Come up with a formula for change  "The cycle of negativity is an echo chamber with yourself." 

In November she decided for the entire month to make it NO November. She said NO to everything she didn't want to do and it felt great!  She understands the need to silence the inner critic. Her parting words were "sometimes you have to jump in order for the net to appear. You have to trust yourself."  You can also find the audio podcast of this interview on Itunes, Spotify, Anchor.fm and other platforms.  Contact Wendy:  wendy@alinealifecoaching.com or subscribe to my newsletter or schedule a 1:1 Ascension Guide session here: https://www.alinealifecoaching.com

Shalina Warrior ~ Let's Talk About Love and Crystals!

Shalina Warrior ~ Let's Talk About Love and Crystals!

Shalina Warrior is a Geologist and Crystal enthusiast. Owner of Truth Minerals, Shalina sources all her inventory in the U.S., and lovingly tumbles her stones in Seabrook, Texas. Shalina's passion for sharing crystals and what they represent with the world led her to create Truth Minerals 2 years ago.   Since then, she has found many miners, and has mined many of her treasures herself. Our conversation focused today on the topic of Love. What better conversation to share since this is February of 2023 and we are approaching valentines day.  

Topics we covered were how to change our story and perspective and instead of looking at a difficult reality with resentment, turning to gratitude. How we can transmute suffering with a deep gratitude practice (as a tool). Her childhood was very difficult, and at times she felt like a victim of it, but at some point decided to be grateful she had a roof over her head and a safe environment to grow up in.   Her grandmother was from the depression era and suffering and hard labor was part of her mindset. Many weekends were spent cleaning grout with a toothbrush. There were many lessons learned there. 

Shalina has a heart of gold and has learned to reframe her relationship to tough situations by pouring love into them instead of anger and resentment. It does has to come from the heart, it can't just be a choice to say specific words. You have to FEEL it.  Truth Minerals is offering a 20% discount to all listeners who go to here link here and sign up for her newsletter:  http://www.truthminerals.com/#pathofm...She can also shop and source anything you might be looking for in the crystal kingdom. 

You can reach her at www.truthminerals.com or on Instagram: @Truth_Minerals.  She would be happy to find that perfect ethically sourced treasure for you.  What I know about Shalina's crystals from personal experience is they are extremely high frequency, very pure. I highly recommend connecting if you are interested.  

You can learn more about my work at: www.alinealifecoaching.com There you can sign up for my newsletter, which takes the pulse of the events happening on the planet and how they relate to our own personal lives. You can also purchase my book "Finding the Path of Me" on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or BAM (books a million).  It's available in ebook and paperback.  To listen to the podcast on Spotify, or Itunes, anchorFM or any other platform, you can google Path of Me and it will send you to the links!

Liliana Hernandez Learning to Thrive Instead of Survive

Liliana Hernandez Learning to Thrive Instead of Survive

My longtime friend Lili Hernandez is a Life Coach, Podcast Host of Corazon, Cultura, Loteria, Adjunct Professor of Community Mental Health, and so much more. After achieving her dream, she realized it wasn't the dream after all. The sometimes 3 hour commute and toxic environment she was experiencing were soul crushing.  She decided to pivot and go out into private practice and take control of her life.  This resulted in offering her time to enjoy life, to be in her garden, to travel, and just be present. 

Through this process she learned how to set #boundaries, say no to #guiltandobligation and trust things will work out.  Now she is living an empowered life, thriving instead of surviving, and keeping the faith in the unfolding. The key was letting go of the programming. She asked herself, "who am I living for, them or for me?"  Towards the end of 2022 Lili lost her Maternal Grandmother, we talked about some incredible experiences she had with her Grandmother reaching out from the other side. They were unexpected, and provided a knowing that the Soul endures after transitioning from this Human Life.   

Join us for this powerful and heartfelt conversation! To work with Lili, you can reach her at Hernandez.Lili@Hotmail.com or tune into her Podcast: Corazon, Cultura, Loteria and message her on her IG of the same name. As always, thank you for being here with me on this incredible journey.  You can also listen to the audio version of the Podcast on Spotify, Apple Itunes, or AnchorFM.  Wendy Hutchinson www.alinealifecoaching.com

Jenn Baljko Walking From Bangkok to Barcelona - A 3 Year Journey

Jenn Baljko Walking From Bangkok to Barcelona - A 3 Year Journey

In 2013, Jenn Baljko and her partner Lluis came up with a crazy idea. "Before we're old and broken, let's take a long walk." They were living in Barcelona at the time, so they decided to walk from Bangkok home to Barcelona. The planning began in earnest in 2015. Then on Jenn's 44th birthday in January of 2016 the began. They felt it would be amazing. They believed in the kindness of humanity and invited that in. They came up with a term OTI which meant Open to Invitation. When they needed something along their Journey, they would literally send out a signal "OTI."

People would bring them water, or invite them in for tea or coffee or to come have a meal. They were so present within themselves noticing their surroundings, or sometimes having to jump to the side of the road to avoid being run over by a truck. The presence was kind of creating this time bending experience as thoughts came and went. They were open to invitation. I love this quote by Jenn, "the person who doesn't move doesn't feel the chains." You must move and try something different, not necessarily that radical, but different that repeat the cycle you're in. Her journey was about both wonder and rigor. It was a very physically challenging journey with a 40 lb pack on their backs and no real knowing of where they would next find water or food, or shelter. 

Everyday they were faced with the unknown. From the beginning she felt like they were ambassadors like electric workers laying lines down, only hers were lay lines of light and love and kindness being carried along that journey. They travelled the silk road, and walked through many countries. The pace was a bit faster than she wanted because Luis was mindful of the distance, and time and visas potentially expiring. She was hoping for more of a leisurely walk enjoying the people and cultures and maybe a day at the beach once in awhile. The walk both broke them and brought them back together, but they made it. Right before the Pandemic hit in 2019 they finished! Friends and family walked them home.

Wendy Battles Showcases Women Becoming Reinvention Rebels! You Have What it Takes!

This week's inspiring guest has felt her soul purpose calling her for decades but didn't know quite what that looked like. She got a download of the title "Reinvention Rebels" and wrote it down.

Their stories inspire us all to live our best, most authentic life and find happiness in the process.  By day Wendy works in Cyber Security for Yale, but her true passion is to inspire women to live out loud and embrace their passion and purpose.

Nikki Keeth Mom of 7!

Nikki Keeth Mom of 7!

When I met Nikki Keeth, I was amazed that this petite dynamo could run a household of 9 and make it look easy. She has 7 kids under the age of 15. Logistically this means feeding an army at each meal, coordinating field trips, emails from over 30 teachers a day, managing all extra curricular activities.  I wondered just how she manages it and still gets to the crossfit gym and dance class. As an only child it came as a surprise to her that she ended up having 3 within 3 years, then after a middle child did it again!

Some people choose to have no children, but she has created a large dynamic family of 9. Enjoy the show, it will give you perspective.

Freeing Yourself From the Asian/Catholic Programming with Ressel Yu

Freeing Yourself From the Asian/Catholic Programming with Ressel Yu

My conversation with Ressel Yu covered a lot of common themes found in Asian/Catholic households; Guilt and Shame, and in her experience physical abuse was common. Her feisty spirit got her into a lot of trouble with her parents who actually brought a priest in to exorcise  the "demons" in her when she was a teenager.   It took decades to recognize she was a product of her programming. From a young age she could see, hear and speak to spirit. Her parents thought she was crazy and she ended up shutting her gifts down after the exorcism. The message was clear that what she was doing was speaking to the devil.   The turning point was when one of her sons asked to go live with his dad because they were fighting so much. Losing him hit hard and caused her to really ask the question "is this all there is?" 

This was the opening and beginning of her spiritual awakening. She started reading "the secret" and it resonated with her. it unlocked something, and all her gifts she had suppressed since childhood started to come back online.  She followed the breadcrumbs and started learning about crystals and quantum energy healing, she then found out about Marconics. Learn more about Marconics at https://www.marconics.com. As she went further on her journey she began to see the patterns and programs surfacing in her adult life. We repeat what we learn so she was very stern raising her children expecting what I call Asian Perfection from them.    

The Asian culture values outward appearance and accomplishments more than encouraging you to be your authentic self. Being raised Catholic instills a deep well of shame and struggle; the message that you are always a sinner is reinforced and the culture frowns upon independent thinking and using discernment around information you're taught to believe. The result is an inability to think for yourself and discern your own truth without guilt.  

Another program Ressel had to break was her relationship with money. Her abuse was tied to her parents financial struggles and being beaten while hearing how hard her parents work for their money and how ungrateful she is. She believed money was a source of suffering and it wasn't until she healed and released this program that true abundance came into her life.  This show is so rich in wisdom, humor and information for anyone looking to break the patterns and interrupt their ancestral programming.

Tammy Cohen - Gaining Perspective During the Pandemic

Tammy Cohen - Gaining Perspective During the Pandemic

Tammy Cohen is the Owner of TC Brand Consulting, Founder of the Global Networking Group "Women Beyond the Table," and Owner of the restaurant Eighteen in the Upper East Side in NYC. She is also a mom to 3 grown sons! 

Our interview started with the impact the Pandemic had in NYC. She was struggling with the lockdown restrictions and violence in the streets. She lives in Manhattan and could hear glass shattering and looting and knew there would be no police response. It was intense. There was also uncertainty with the restaurant which switched to exclusive take out. It was all very unsettling. Around this time a colleague reached out to see how she was doing. 

He invited her to a 21 day Deepak Chopra Meditation group. She immediately joined and it gave her a bit of a reset.  She did the meditation series 3 times. It reconnected her to herself and got her to go inward. It was the beginning of a 2 year journey back to herself. During this time she diversified her clientele for her consulting business, founded her networking group, started reading a lot of self help books and participating in a lot of self help workshops. Her networking group had their first retreat this past month!

She became more grounded from the meditation and is working on mastering "presence" in her life. A lot of transformation took place over the course of the pandemic. We talked a lot about energy and how we attract what we are.  We are energy and consciousness and our energy is like a magnet for things in resonance to the frequency. Her new podcast is about to launch with Women Beyond the Table. So many things have changed as she has navigated her way forward.

Her Global Networking Group is evolving and growing rapidly with women around the world joining. The goal was to create a safe space for women to really connect and support each other and truly celebrate each other as they pursue their business and personal goals. She has attracted a beautiful group of women and looks forward to its expansion. 

We discussed her family and how she texts motivational things to her sons every single day. She wants them to know that whatever they are going through they are loved fully. She says life is like traveling a down a road and on that road are many curves and obstacles and it's sometimes a struggle to overcome them. No matter what she wants her sons to know they've got this and she's there for them. All these texts will be turned into a book to help parents connect to their children!

Best Selling Author Kute Blackson Talks about "The Magic of Surrender." Learning to let go of control is the key to creating magic in your life!

Best Selling Author Kute Blackson Talks about "The Magic of Surrender." Learning to let go of control is the key to creating magic in your life!

Transformational Speaker and Best Selling Author @Kute Blackson  joined me to talk about his new book "The Magic of Surrender." It's a book about tapping into our own magic by letting go and allowing our own magic to unfold in our lives. The book shows how surrender is a key factor in the lives of so many great people throughout history.  Our conversation encourages people to follow their soul to allow the Universe to support them. His core beliefs and knowing were shaped by many pivotal events. His father was a miraculous healer and leader of 300 churches. From an early age Kute watched him heal the blind, and the crippled walk. This opened his mind to the concept that there are no limits and everything is possible.  

His mother was Japanese and his Father from Ghana. He was close to his mother who got cancer when he was just starting to thrive in the United States. He realized the value of every moment spending a week every month with her to help her with her treatments. Unfortunately she lost her battle and her courage and knowing that the soul is eternal and the body is just a garment for the soul showed Kute what freedom really looks like. There was no fear, just acceptance, she was calm and ready for the next part of her soul journey.  Kute wanted to translate the concept of surrender to help others find freedom and the magic it creates.  

Surrender is not just waiting doing nothing, it's not an excuse for non action. You feel your deepest truth then align with it. His work has allowed him to awaken and inspire people across the globe to access their own inner freedom, live authentically, and fulfill their true life purpose. Surrender is letting go of control, making aligned choices, and moving forward when inspired and also pausing when necessary to allow events to unfold.   There were some differences and conflicts between Kute and his father when he told him he wouldn't take over his ministry at the age of 18. They didn't speak for a couple years. During this time there was a lot of inner work and healing happening as Kute journeyed to India, Thailand, Spain (to walk the Camino) and focused on building his own mindfulness practice.  

He did a lot of inner work to face his anger towards his father and heal all the emotions around their relationship fracturing. When he was ready, he released all his expectations and decided he would unconditionally love his father regardless of his past. They have since healed their relationship in a beautiful way.

Breaking Ancestral Patterns and Finding Myself

Breaking Ancestral Patterns and Finding Myself

It took a lot of courage to step into my authentic self and embrace her.  For over 40 years I only knew how to be who you wanted me to be and during that time I completely lost myself. I felt unworthy, I felt like I would never be truly happy, although from the outside looking in, it looked like I had everything.   My life up to that point had been shaped by my ancestral patterning and programs. Our parents repeat what they learn from their parents and their parents do the same. This is how we form our core beliefs and sense of self, but often we don't realize that all of it was formed by wounded people passing down their unhealthy patterns, it's just normal to us.    I was never taught how to hold space for myself, and by that I mean I was not able to express my feelings because that was discouraged.  Being sensitive was discouraged because it meant you were weak and vulnerable and we don't do vulnerability in our Asian Culture. When you're vulnerable the opponent can use that against you and take you down meaning you LOSE! Asians are all about winning, striving, being "successful" there is nothing prized more than monetary "success" that's the golden ticket.  I had to be shaken and stirred by certain life events to wake up and realize I wasn't being my authentic self and learn how to figure out who I am. This has been a journey that led me to not only finding myself but also my life purpose as an Ascension Coach (guide), healer, podcast host and more. I learned it's OK to be vulnerable and go deep and hold space for those wounds to seep out and heal. It's the only way to become whole and complete. You can't bypass the feeling part of it. Humans are meant to feel their feelings.  We are here to learn to master our emotional selves and come into alignment with our mind body and soul.  I wrote a book called "Finding the Path of Me" as a guide for others trying to find themselves. Copy the link here to buy: https://books2read.com/finding-the-path-of-me  It's time to stop playing this ludicrous game and own and claim who we are, to find our purpose and have the courage to be the person we have come here to be. Release the social programming and judgment.  Become the person you were born to be!

Lili Hernandez Talks About Trauma Bonding with Work and Needing Soul CPR

Lili Hernandez Talks About Trauma Bonding with Work and Needing Soul CPR

Lili Hernandez was driving to work one day and started crying.  Her 1.5 hour commute each way and stressful job as Director of an Agency serving underprivileged families was stressing her out more and more. As a licensed therapist and life coach she knew the importance of taking care of her own mental health, but was started to feel the need to make a change. For an hour she got curious, "what is this about" she asked herself and heard "I need soul CPR." In that moment she knew her soul was dying. 

She was doing all the things, the massages, salt baths, meditation, gardening, but nothing was working to make her feel better. She got a therapist and they discovered her trauma bond with work. The trauma bond is when you are peak performing, but your employer or partner criticizes and demands more and more, and you think "if you try harder and do better" everything will be OK. So you double down, you work longer hours, you try to exceed expectations, but nothing is working. Tempers flare, conflicts arise, there's an outburst, then seeming resolution and you cycle like this over and over until you just can't do it anymore. She came up with a strategy to leave.  Having just purchased her dream home on her salary, she had to take a leap of faith to start her own full time practice.  The pandemic and working from home came at the right time. She was able to leverage that commute time and take on more private clients.

We talked about how sacred it is to take care of ourselves and honor our own soul knowing. How our cultural programming teaches us to be good girls and do what is expected of us and "behave" but you know what? F the good girl! We need to save ourselves! We need to learn to choose what is right for us and slot into our soul missions here to do the work we are here to do. It takes courage and faith, but once you take the leap, everything starts to align. When we align with our truth, the Universe supports us with clients and opportunities. She recently launched her own podcast "Las Beauty's" which can be found on Spotify, Apple, Google and more.

Intuitive Artist Maggie Goleniak Helping People Heal Through Art

Intuitive Artist Maggie Goleniak Helping People Heal Through Art

Maggie Goleniak was born and raised in Poland. She has always been an artist and received her degree in Fine Art from University of Silesia in Poland. She moved to UK after graduation. After her Energy Healing Certifications her connection to the higher realms began opening up. This was the beginning of her intuitive painting.   It was difficult to paint intuitively after the structure of Art School. She encourages us all to do what we love. The energies and alignment of the New Earth doesn't support being stuck or doing things that do not align. Her paintings help and support people who buy her paintings because they speak to them. There's a feeling there, which is light encoded frequency in the paintings that people feel.  The more intuitive painting began just before 2018. We naturally live from the heart. Creativity broadens connection to ourselves. With the Pandemic, she quit her job and felt so free to pursue her love of painting. Breaking down  infrastructures during this pandemic is really creating something new. The pandemic allowed us all to connect more with ourselves. Earning and being in the hustle and striving to be on the top is no longer supported. You lose yourself in that.  Maggie teaches Intuitive art which starts with guided meditation. It's a healing session. The frequency of colors heals you. These are holistic healing sessions connecting to your inner self. She holds energy for the individuals.  It's important to clear unworthiness, things from past lives, and allow our soul to choose the path forward. She helps you go deep, recognize the programming.  People don't want to look at that.  Your higher self will push you towards your work, you are ready. It's about losing your identification with everything external.  We naturally live from the heart which is connected to the Universe and Galaxy.  We are light beings. We are upgrading our DNA coding and shifting perspectives. Our body is just the vessel for the soul.   We are creators! Spend time every day connecting to yourself, drink your tea or coffee, take a walk.  We create by holding ourselves in this now moment. It impacts how we perceive our identity with things.  We are not defined by these things. We are always whole and complete.  Go back to the breath, come back to presence.  Maggie is a guide to discover beauty and creativity within. Her sessions begin with meditation to help people connect to themselves.  Art is healing, the colors, the structure and how you paint supports you.

Toddler Mom Krystal Martinez Talks Conscious Parenting and Parenting Your Way!

Toddler Mom Krystal Martinez Talks Conscious Parenting and Parenting Your Way!

This rich parenting conversation talks about the value of learning to respond instead of react to your kids, the very real feelings of failing as a mom, and taking time for yourself without guilt.  We aren't taught how to hold space for ourselves or how to feel our feelings instead of suppressing feelings. It's OK for parents to ask for help.  The story as moms that "I'm not good enough" is pervasive. Learn to trust your instincts with your kids.  Her son had a tongue tie and if she hadn't followed her instincts and had corrective surgery it could have resulted in speech issues as he got older. She learned so much on her parenting journey including how to let go and the need to be right.  Krystal was a vegan and was so convinced her way was the way, but experience has taught her that it's OK to change your mind, to follow your inner guidance even if it is leading you to change your beliefs like eating a hamburger because her body craved meat protein and allowing her son and not adhering to the strict beliefs she once held.  Adaptability and flexibility allows moms not to be so hard on themselves.    Krystal is a creative writer and you can follow her blog here: https://www.TheUMom.com which stands for The Unconventional Mom. You can also follow her on Instagram @The_U_Mom and while she talks a lot about parenting it all comes back to you as a Mom to get curious and ask yourself why you are feeling coming up for you as a parent.  These could be feelings of not being good enough, failure, stress, fatigue.  Whatever it is, feel your feelings and release the judgment.  Let go of the negative self talk, and nurture yourself.  Wendy Hutchinson the show host is an Ascension Coach and owner of Alinea Life Coaching.  Sign up for her newsletter or read her blog here:  Https://www.alinealifecoaching.com Here latest book "Finding the Path of Me" is available on Amazon, and other platforms here:  https://books2read.com/finding-the-pa...

Healing the Mind Body and Soul with Dr. Stella Aubert

Healing the Mind Body and Soul with Dr. Stella Aubert

Dr. Stella Aubert gets real and vulnerable speaking about a really difficult childhood.  It resulted in her developing an eating disorder followed by depression and her desire to heal holistically rather than through traditional western medicine.  As a baby she developed an ear infection and after one day on antibiotics she went gray and wasn't herself so her mom took her to a chiropractor who within 24 hours of being treated healed her.    This experience and monthly visits thereafter for health and wellness introduced her to the concept of holistic healing. Unfortunately, her emotions around her family dynamics and childhood went unchecked and she was diagnosed in her 20's with leukemia and given 6-8 months to live.  She was not in contact with any family members at the time, and was determined to heal herself. She had an inner knowing that her illness was the physical manifestation of unhealed emotional trauma.  She quit her job, slept like 16 hours a day, ate smoothies, and took care of herself. After she healed she realized she needed to call her mom and invited her to come spend some time with her and they ended up driving across country back home to Charleston, S.C. and had a lot of conversation and healing between them. After regrouping and working at a hotel in Charleston for awhile, she decided to pursue a career in holistic medicine.    She became a Chiropractor and worked in Portland, Oregon with the homeless on skid row.  She found that when she spent time with her clients and allowed them a safe space to tell their story, healing was happening. This is when she fully understood that healing is more than just medical, it's about healing the mind body and soul. Her work today is focused on helping people heal from all kinds of illness by working one on one with them.  You can learn more about her work at https://www.draubert.comand visit her FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Dr.StellaMic...or Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr._stella....

What to Expect When You Live Abroad

What to Expect When You Live Abroad

Goal Coach Melissa McCloud just published a book called Life Abroad detailing beautiful experiences and challenges from living abroad with a young family.  She expected change and growth but she got more than she bargained for with terrorist bombings in Sri Lanka blocks from home, a Pandemic lockdown and enforced martial law for 3 months, where she couldn't leave her building - not even to get food!  Her goal was to have her children experience real life, face adversity, grow from living in a different culture.  She didn't want their frame of reference to only be privileged white kids living in an affluent neighborhood.  She taught them how to face adversity and overcome it. Cultural immersion training did not teach her how to deal with pandemic lockdown, martial law, and terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.  She did not know you should have 1 month's supply of food at all times and how living in a caste system would create more empathy and connection for humanity.  We are all the same as humans, this belief was reinforced throughout her entire expat experience.    Melissa has had a successful career working from home and juggling kids while finding time to work out, navigate parenting challenges during the pandemic, while learning to be adaptable!  Her career as a goal coach has aligned perfectly with her desire to be in service to other women looking to live their best lives.  She went through a year long program called Lightyear Leadership while being on lockdown during the pandemic in addition to other coaching certification programs.    Sri Lanka's education system is based on a British Curriculum and system.  Kindergarten is called year 1 and it's rigorous.  Coming from the U.S. with a more casual approach to school finding the right school for the kids was challenging.  Moving to London, at least she had more options in terms of educating her children.  London required more adaptability as she learned that she was making all kinds of faux pas culturally being naturally outgoing.  They are very private people and don't share their names, which she discovered only after introducing herself to neighbors who were somewhat taken aback by her open friendly manner and personality.  Luckily she is adaptable and has settled into the English way of life.   The one thing that has helped her cope with all the stress the past few years have created has been her commitment to fitness and creating space for herself.  She focused on getting 10,000 steps a day by walking around her complex in Sri Lanka.  She woke up to take the Lightyear Leadership classes at 3:30 a.m. finding precious "me" time before her kids woke up.  The classes were based in the U.S. while she was in Sri Lanka, so the time difference required quite a commitment on her part.    Since moving to London, Melissa published a book called "Life Abroad" to document all those memories for her children.  It's available on Amazon.  She also published "What the Tuk" after the Sri Lankan bombings to give back proceeds to the community.  You can learn more about Melissa on her website:  https://www.melissamccloud.co and join her on FB, Instagram Stories.

Relationship Expert and Coach Allana Pratt Talk About Overcoming Childhood Issues and Transmuting Pain into Healing

Relationship Expert and Coach Allana Pratt Talk About Overcoming Childhood Issues and Transmuting Pain into Healing

Relationship and Intimacy Expert Allana Pratt talked about her childhood with an abusive father and how his violence and addiction created this feeling of vulnerability and fear in her at an early age.  She had to be hyper vigilant and on point to avoid the wrath which created a need to be perfect and accepted by people in her life.  This began her life long journey of seeking approval and the relationships that mirrored to her the lesson of healing and knowing her own self worth.

At a young age she dropped out of college and hitched ride on a Semi her uncle was driving down to L.A. with the dream of being a dancer.  Without a green card her only option was to accept a dancing opportunity in the Four Seasons Japan.  It was through dancing topless and sharing her feelings with her fellow French dancers of feeling a bit dirty and ashamed, they taught her that her body is a temple to be loved.  She embraced the goddess within learning to transmute that gross energy coming from the men into respect and bowing to her as she performed.

She then met and married a multimillionaire and being young she found herself deferring to his knowledge, wealth and success and diminishing herself and self esteem.  She was enticed by the 5 star vacations and luxury lifestyle they had in N.Y. to stay, but ultimately had to choose herself and divorced him.  

Shortly thereafter she met husband number two and the father of her son Gabriel.  She was vulnerable at the time because her mom was dying of cancer.  She had a spiritual awareness as she looked at her mom's lifeless body that she was moving through pain towards love, then 9 months later had the reverse experience with the birth of her son, experiencing pure love that switched to fear and pain wondering how she would care for this precious baby.  Her marriage fell apart shortly after turning into a 13 year custody battle where her reputation was tarnished and cost her $250,000 and losing her home.  Her ex fought dirty during the custody battle and at the end of 13 years her son made a huge show of wanting to live with his Dad.  The door was open so his father could witness the whole thing.  This left her absolutely gutted as she crumpled on the floor.  

She has since done energy work and her own healing process to fully let go of her son Gabe who she hasn't had contact with in 2 years. There has been a tremendous growth in her surrender.  Since then her business has thrived as a Relationship Coach, published author of 6 books, guest appearances on major networks including coaching Leeza Gibbons on Dancing with the Stars. She is currently creating a relationship app called Heart Mates where you become the ONE to attract the ONE and made a bold decision to go to India for a few months to make sure the app is done right!

Maria Krause Overcoming Sexual Assault, Shame and Learning to Unchain Her Inner Power!

Maria Krause Overcoming Sexual Assault, Shame and Learning to Unchain Her Inner Power!

Maria Krause CEO of Unchain Your Inner Strength empowers women to come back to their authentic selves. As a spiritual mindset and alignment mentor, and International Best-Selling Author she helps women understand themselves through their stories and peel off the layers that no longer serve them. Her company includes a Podcast, Online Magazine Publishing company and now an online clothing store! Trigger warning, we discuss a sexual assault that happened to her many years ago. If you have had some trauma around this, please check in with yourself to see if it feels appropriate for you to listen to our conversation. After she was sexually assaulted Maria lost herself in drugs and alcohol. She was engaging in self-destructive behaviors and avoiding the healing necessary from being aggressively sexually assaulted. She wanted to be loved and sought out and attracted toxic relationships because she felt she could only be loved through sex. Society often blames the women when they are assaulted, in this case, someone drugged her drink when she was out at a club in NYC. At the age of 36 she met a man, her intuition told her to run, but her need to be loved and seen trumped her intuition. Turns out he was a narcissist and totally controlling. She lost herself and developed physical illness like IBS and skin issues on her hands in addition to depression. Her body was in constant pain and mentally she went through a very dark time. A dark night of the soul. Slowly she started pulling back from this guy. She was finishing college and changed jobs. She didn't want the part lifestyle anymore or the relationship. She couldn't take it anymore and when he got physically violent, she left Ireland to move home to Argentina. She was so lonely but needed the time to heal. The narcissist will never change. They have low self-esteem and will not allow you to feel good about yourself because they feel bad about themselves. They will pull you down. Therapy for the narcissist makes them better liars, they do not heal. She completely lost herself, no personality, only depended on him to define and see her. When she arrived home, she had a lot of anger, sadness and was numb. she stopped drinking and drugs; she couldn't be there anymore. She started back to yoga, went for walks. She realized she wanted to support women with their own empowerment, to release shame and guilt.

You can connect with her here: https://Mariackrause.com

She is now 1 year sober after 4 attempts. She lost self-doubt and views her life from a different perspective. She recognizes as an empath what is hers and gives back what is not. She realized what drinking and drugs were costing her. Letting go of shame and guilt was key. You find your freedom when you find your truth, we are here to be ourselves!

Kelly Marshall - Defining Your Worth and How it Relates to Your Business

Kelly Marshall - Defining Your Worth and How it Relates to Your Business

Kelly Marshall is a is a Prosperity Advisor for women with conscious service businesses.  She is also a Money Breakthrough Business Coach.  We talked about the  Law of Attraction, Energy Alchemy and how we need to get clear on our value to shift our money mindset.    Our intention around how we live our lives impacts the people around  us.  She had to gain clarity around how to marry her linear accounting business mind with her intuitive life (energy, Reiki, healing, and spirituality).   How could she integrate both into a business? After years of working as an accountant she started a side hustle bookkeeping business.   She knew from her Human Design Chart that the early part of her life was meant to provide a very grounded foundation for her life purpose of helping people with that knowledge.   Her corporate career ended when she went to work for a Health and Wellness Center doing both coaching and accounting.   It was there that she got clarity on the kind of clients she wanted to attract. Conscious Entrepreneurs felt aligned to her.  She realized after working at the Wellness Center that alignment and authenticity were important to her.  She formed her LLC and got more intentional about attracting clients.  We talked about how we rationalize what's not aligned and stay in situations not meant to support us.  How fear programs keep us from trusting ourselves, blocks opportunities and creates a negative narrative.  We manifest truth both positive and negative.  Check in on why you are doing what you are doing.  What is your why?  Get intentional about who you are and why you are here.    Coaching is helpful but look within.  Good coaches ask questions that lead you to your own answers.  Trust the parachute will open.   Kelly loves helping you discover who you are becoming to grow your business.  Becoming an entrepreneur creates a lot of personal growth.  There's often a war between your heart and head.  Understanding energy alchemy and knowing your value allows you to price accordingly.   She offers the suggestion to write down 30 ways you are impacting your clients to see your value.    CLAIM YOUR GREATNESS!

The Radical Awakening of Krystal Martinez

The Radical Awakening of Krystal Martinez

Krystal Martinez often felt alone in her childhood.  At the age of 8 she realized she was on her own. Her Mom told her she knew she was capable and she didn't have to worry about her, which translated into basically no parenting.  She was emotionally abandoned as a child but resourceful and intelligent and figured things out.   She lived in survival mode, living an unconscious life of black out drinking.   She was really smart and high functioning and graduated from college and went on to get her Masters degree.  She was recently laid off from her job in Fundraising in higher education.  While she was studying abroad her drinking came to an abrupt halt after blacking out on a sidewalk in Spain.   She was never interested in anything spiritual as a child but she did rely on her own instincts and trust herself to survive and thrive.  In her early 20's Krystal tried a Reiki session.  Nothing much happened but she decided to go back for a second one.  Her mind  and consciousness was blown wide open.    She felt like a vortex opened and she was having like a psychedelic trip only she wasn't on drugs.  She was seeing movies in her third eye, she saw things coming at her and experiencing really wild sensory things.   She called the practitioner who explained it was the energy.  It was like a psychic light switch turned on.  From that point on she was fully psychic.  She started taking classes from her reiki instructor, but then moved onto to giving readings, doing her own free form energy work, pulling from lifetimes of memories as a healer.  She began using crystals.  All of it was just natural and organic.  She even began reading sand.    Throughout this time she was experiencing very physical loss.  Her Dad passed away at the age of 5, her Uncle who was the only father figure she had died 10 years later, then her mom had a very intense passing.  She adopted her 6 year old brother who came to live with her and she went through a deep depression.   At that time she was drinking again and her husband told her she was just checked out.   By this time she found a Marconics Energy Practitioner who sat down with her for a consult.   She wanted a recalibration right away.     During her Marconic Recalibration she had a lot of visions one of which was a baby floating above her that said "Hi Mommy!"  4 days later it was confirmed she was pregnant even though a prior test showed negative.   This expanded her consciousness even more and gave her more clarity around the work she wanted to do which was related to Ascension and keeping your vibe high!  This entire time she was shedding and releasing old programming and healing her inner wounds.    She has since started her business Grace Solutions, LLC which is a property preservation company.  She has also been creating amazing poetry which she will be publishing in the near future.

Victor Galindo Take Two - The Shift and Pivot Into Alignment with Living His Best Life

Victor Galindo Take Two - The Shift and Pivot Into Alignment with Living His Best Life

I first interviewed Victor in 2019.  He had recently been released from serving time and was happy to get out!  He was in the flow and had spent the last year inside going through a massive spiritual awakening.  He was reading spiritual books and texts and absorbing information as well as getting weekly long distance Marconic energy sessions from his sister Veronica for a year.   Shortly thereafter he decided to get a Marconic Recalibration which is an energy protocol that reconnects you to your higher self.  Marconics is an ascension energy modality that helps clear karma and density and remaps your lightbody.  It pulls in multidimensional energy and it remaps your DNA.   It is a life changing experience. He was recalibrated while taking his Level 1 Marconics class to become an energy practitioner when he got out of prison.  

Victor has always been an empath and energy intuitive.  From an early age his Aunt taught him how to feel energy and tune into himself.  He knew he was consciously lowering his energy frequency to run with a tough crowd in his teens.  It was during this time he started using drugs and drinking and numbing the pain of losing both his favorite aunt and grandmother in the same year.    A back injury sidelined his sports outlet so he took a turn which landed him in and out of jail for years.   

Immediately after Victor's Marconics class he began the 5 hour drive home from Austin to Odessa, Texas.  Information started pouring in.  All kinds of awareness around who he is at his core and the truth around what he had been doing all these years and why.   It was overwhelming to receiving the downloads and he was just shedding all kinds of emotional stuff.  By the time he got home he was crying and when he looked in the mirror he saw his reflection and heard the truth around why he always picked women who needed to be rescued, it was because he couldn't save his grandmother and aunt from dying when he was 16.  He called his sister to ask if this was normal!  Everyone's process of shedding and releasing density and karma is unique after the recalibration, but his team was fast tracking him and bringing him online fast.   It was almost too much to handle emotionally.  

He took a detour back into the only coping mechanisms he knew which were drugs and alcohol, but this time it was different.  He knew he didn't want this life anymore and he made a decision to choose a better life, to choose him!  He stopped everything and from that moment, it was like slicing through butter, life began to just flow and align.  He reconnected with himself at the Godhead, with Source and enrolled in his program at the cosmetology school to get certified in Hair.  During his time in jail he was working as a master barber cutting hair for inmates and officers and their families so he already knew what he wanted to do, he just had to get the certification.  He has since been thriving in his classes and is booked out weeks in advance.  Victor found his passion and purpose which is to just be love and spread love in the world and he is doing that by lending an ear to everyone who sits in his chair and everyone he encounters.  

He has already impacted the many people he encountered while in jail from his cell mates to the many other people around him while he served time.  He noticed his vibration was changing and rising as he received weekly energy sessions from his sister Veronica and other inmates also commented on how things changed every time he was transferred to different locations to finish his sentence.  He went to the worst places where they held guys on death row, and also where they executed them.  His journey has been amazing and now he is ready to give back to the world.
