  I’m still on my book tour, and it means the world to me to share the room with so many amazing women. And while it’s a massive dream come true, it’s also forced me to make some massive perspective shifts when it comes to traveling, speaking, signing books and taking pictures. I’ll be honest, it can be a lot for this introvert who is prone get to getting anxiety! But once I’m able to slow down and change my perspective on it all – there’s no way I wouldn’t do what I’m doing. It’s just all about changing the way we view things.   One question I pose to my book tour audiences is, “what’s stopping you from connecting in different relationships?”   “In order for things to change, we have to change how we’re viewing things.”   Whether it’s your body, career or relationships, it is imperative that we shift our perspectives before anything can happen. We need to shift into how we want to feel.   It’s amazing how this small little thing (OK, not always the easiest task), can give you tons of energy back. No matter what you’re feeling anxiety around, change the lens you’re viewing it through and see how you can make it easier. There could be a different (and better) way.   Do this, and you’ll be on the fast track to changing your life.   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Shifting your perspectives Why the way we view things may be preventing connection What Lori’s book tour is teaching her   Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour and join the world’s biggest tribe book club   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

  I’m in New York this week having just wrapped up my stop in Boston for the book tour and it was another magical night. It’s so great having conversations with other women – especially those who have or are reading the book and are looking to connect with other women, too! It’s also super interesting to see what common questions are popping up between book tour stops.   One common theme that’s coming up, both at the book events and online, is how people are afraid to take leaps and try new things – they feel stuck. Personally, I know I’m wasting time when I start asking myself a lot of questions and stop taking action. All of the what if’s, stalling and procrastination – anything to prevent me from doing anything that might bring me some sort of pain. Does that sound familiar to you at all?   “We get stuck focusing on the pain instead of the motivation.”   But here’s the thing (and I have to remind myself of this daily), we don’t come out of the womb knowing what to do. Take riding a bike… can you imagine if as a child, we just kept thinking about the pain of the fall, scraping our knees or bumping our heads? We would have never ditched those training wheels! Instead, we imagined how free it would feel to cruise around.   So, take back your power. Quit focusing on the fall. Focus on the freedom. And don’t look back.   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Why people feel like they’re “stuck” Taking back your power Why we need stop focusing on the pain and focus on the good   Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour and join the world’s biggest tribe book club   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

  You’ve likely heard it before, but I’ll say it again… This thing called life can be so, so challenging. With lots of new situations popping up for me and speaking to audiences that I normally wouldn’t talk to, I’ve determined that getting through it all has to do with mastering my mindset.   Because when you put yourself out there in a new and vulnerable way, you’re not going to be supported by everyone. You’re going to have those people who judge you or say unkind things to you because you’ve “changed” or perhaps it’s someone who wishes they were doing what you’re doing. Always remember that it’s not about you – it’s them.   “The more you shift into the person you know you were meant to be, the more you change.”   When we allow fear or the opinions of others to get into our head, we are stopping ourselves from living the life we were meant to live. It’s a choice to tune into the small minds or let them fall away. I’m not saying they won’t affect you at times, but you must always return to that place of love and happiness within yourself.   Decide what matters and whose opinions are valuable to you. Personally, when I am living in my authentic power and truth, nothing else matters besides what my Creator and my family think (in that order).   “We are radically responsible for our own energy.”   So, determine what brings you back to that place of love and happiness – in all you do. I find that I’m able to drown out of the noise by bringing in more good (creating, dancing, writing surfing etc.). What helps you?   Whatever it is, know that we need you to show up in whatever makes you unique. Don’t let anyone else try to tell you different. YOU get to live this life exactly the way your Creator intended and that is pure bliss.   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Mastering your mindset Determining what and whose opinions matter to you Living the life you were created to live   Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour and join the world’s biggest tribe book club   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/       Check out my website at loriharder.com.

I cannot tell you how surreal and exciting it all still feels to see so many of you building your tribes and sharing your takeaways, stories and photos with me about A Tribe Called Bliss (ATCB). I think I have a bruise from regularly pinching myself to confirm that this is indeed still real life. ;)   One common theme I’m seeing so far among my ATCB readers is how it’s giving you permission in all areas of your lives. Permission to do the things you want to do. Permission to be fully you. Permission to forgive yourself. Permission to have the conversations you need to have. Most importantly, it’s giving you permission to release the old stories about yourself that simply aren’t true.   Witnessing this has also spurred me to find areas where I can give myself a bit more permission in my own life. Because lately, I’ve had to accept that I’m just not going to be on top of everything and things are going to slip through the cracks. Book tours are no joke. It takes a whole other level of energy and time management… and saying no. And in order to do this, I’ve had to give myself a whole lot of self-love and grace.   “We’ll never get to where we want to go without massive grace and love.”   It’s times like this when we need to ensure we’re creating fierce boundaries and focus on saying no. Saying no can be so hard, but it is imperative for self-preservation during our busy seasons. Otherwise, our “good” may never turn into our “great.”   “Give yourself space for the true, authentic gifts to come through.”   Thank you all again so much for your support of me and my book. I know this is a recurring ask, but if you love the message of this episode or of ATCB, please share with a friend or leave a review so we can reach our goal of 1 million tribes!   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Giving yourself permission in all areas of life Creative boundaries and saying no A Tribe Called Bliss   Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour and join the world’s biggest tribe book club   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

I am so thrilled to have my soul sister, Danette May, back on the show today. Not only was she the one that initially introduced me to the idea of a mastermind (hello, A Tribe Called Bliss!), but she’s one of the most authentic people I know. If you want to hear more about her story, please be sure to check out the resources for our previous episode (her journey thus far is incredible).   Today, we’re talking about her upcoming event, The Rise, and how it helps women make authentic connections by allowing them to be their authentic selves. Danette shares so many soul-shaking experiences and insights – all focused again on connecting with yourself to step into your highest purpose. Her wisdom is so relatable and I honestly could listen to her all day long.   I hope you enjoy our conversation and hopefully, we’ll both get to see you at her event in October (details in the Resources section). --    Question Highlights: What made you want to host The Rise event? Where did you come from – when did your soul speak to you, what did life look like and when did you first take action? Why did your soul sign up for this event? When you think of your event, what are some of the things you want to have at the event? What can you tell those who are feeling called to go? What does it mean to see yourself? If you had to name three things that you think makes someone transform, what would they be? What has having a female connection in your life done for you? Why do events have the capability to shift your world? What is something you want people to know about the work you’re doing with The Rise?   In This Episode We Talk about: Connecting authentically with others by being authentically you What Danette did when fear hit her surrounding The Rise event Soul contracts The cellular remembering of your power What happens when you don’t listen to your soul Showing up so you can see yourself Speaking the truth to your soul The power of events What true, raw sisterhood means to Danette What Lori will be performing at The Rise event And so much more…   Quotes “If you’re not unraveling, you’re not growing.”   “Movement is like cleaning out the cobwebs of your soul.”   “You get to choose your environment.”   “If I can love myself and get into my own radical self-acceptance, I’ve got a best friend for life.”   “Your self-love is your biggest work.”   “Rise within so you can rise up.”   “You get to be happy just because you exist.” --  Danette May is a motivational speaker, #1 best-selling author of seven health and women empowerment books, celebrity trainer, and mother.

I am still feeling the energy of my first book tour stop last night at Wanderlust in West Hollywood. I can’t even begin to describe the energy that filled that room. And if you were there last night, thank you so much for being there and for supporting me and my book. The event was proof that this book really is creating a new way to connect, support and see each other and ourselves in a whole new light.   Can I tell you a crazy story about this particular venue? Four years ago, before this book was even a glimmer in my eye, I was there for Gabrielle Bernstein’s Spirit Junkie book launch. I had a lot of fear going into this event, and felt as though I wasn’t “good enough” to hang around this group of people – but I remember also being super excited and happy to be there. Long story short, it was amazing and I found myself sitting on the floor and dreaming of the day I held my own book launch event there. Let’s just say it’s quite clear that manifestation works!   This book tour stop (and I anticipate all the others will feel the same way) reaffirmed that all women are looking for deeper connections with female friends. People are done with the games of jealousy, comparison and fear, and are ready to create authentic connections. Everyone is eager to take their relationships from superficial to deep in order to create the safety net we all so desperately need.   I hope I get to see you at one of my upcoming stops for even more magical connections! And regardless if you’re able to attend, if you love my book or this podcast and feel called to do so, I would be so grateful if you shared my book with other women. My goal is still a million tribes and I can’t do it without you!   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   The new way of connecting, supporting and seeing each other and ourselves The safety net that having a tribe provides A Tribe Called Bliss   Resources: Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour and join the world’s biggest tribe book club A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/  Check out my website at loriharder.com.

  The day is finally here! My book is officially out as of yesterday and honestly, I just don’t have the words to describe all the emotions I’m going through. This is definitely the best I’ve ever felt, but there certainly were days where things definitely felt challenging. But let me tell you, everything I’ve went through to get to this point was worth it!   So today, I have a simple message and it’s that we can’t fully experience the good of anything without enduring the challenging or dark moments. This is why when we reach where we want to go – wherever that is – that we really take time to feel GOOD and celebrate it!   When we know there’s always going to be a balance of dark and light or good and bad, we can begin to look forward to each and every day. Stop resisting or avoiding the things that make you heart sing and just go for it – regardless of the outcome. This is how our soul wants us to show up in the world (and everyone else wants to see it, too).   “Your joy elevates the world.”   So take a minute and really reflect, what are you holding onto that’s blocking the things you desire? Now, take a moment and figure out one small step that will help you toward it. Better yet, tell a friend or your tribe of women who support you.   Speaking of tribe… have you gotten my book yet? If you have, I would love if you shared with me what resonated with you (so far). Also, in order to reach my goal of ONE MILLION tribes, if you feel called to do so, it would help so much if you could rate and review the book online so more women find it and create their own tribes as well. And if you haven’t gotten the book, no worries, you can still get a copy at a bookstore near you or by visiting one of the links in the Resources section.     -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   The dichotomy of dark and light and why we need it Why the most important relationship you have is with yourself A Tribe Called Bliss   Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour and join the world’s biggest tribe book club   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available at loriharder.com/amazon or ATribeCalledBliss.com   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

Today is an extra special interview with my husband, Chris, as he’s interviewing me on MY book, A Tribe Called Bliss. And it releases officially tomorrow, May 8! Gah! I am so excited! So many of you have already gotten your copy and I cannot wait to see it in the hands of a million more (manifesting!). Chris asks me questions today all about the book – why I wrote it, who it’s for and how it can help you get your message out in the world with the help of a supportive tribe. I cannot wait to see the ripple effect this book creates as I truly believe that it will be a new way for women to support each other (and themselves at the same time) in all that they do.   Thank you all so much for your support! If you buy the book and love it, it would mean so much to me if you would write a review, share and/or gift the book to someone else. Cannot wait to hear all the epic tribe-building stories – so please be sure to share them and tag me @LoriHarder on IG! --      Question Highlights: Why did you write A Tribe Called Bliss? How did you write this book with your background/upbringing? Who is this book for? How did you get yourself in the position to tell your personal stories? Could you have written this book had you not mastered tribe? Who are some of the people in your tribe that got you through? Will this book help people find their tribes? What effect has tribe had on your earning power? Can people make more money if they create a tribe like you? What are you most excited about with your book release?   In This Episode We Talk about: Lori’s book-writing journey – how and why she wrote A Tribe Called Bliss Why this book is for anyone in any type of relationship Becoming the person that will attract your desired tribe Clearing your stories How tribe takes you from transition to transcending in a fun and accelerated way Lori’s tribe/mastermind and how they’ve supported her (and vice versa) How tribe opens up a new dialogue between women Why you need more than just a partner to talk to How tribe and wealth go hand in hand Tribe and philanthropy How tribe pays you back – both financially and personally And so much more…   Quotes “You’re not going to get where you want to go without trying and failing.”   “If you want more you’ve got to learn how to show up more unapologetically you.”   -- Resources: ATribeCalledBliss.com Special Training on The 7 Sacred Agreements with purchase of the book for a limited time.

Wow, we are less than a week away from the release of my book and I am so freaking excited – I can’t take it! And I cannot thank all of you – my supportive tribe – enough for your support so far. So many of my sisters have gone above and beyond to support me and my book, and in return, I’m trying to do the exact same for them by sharing their passions – books, podcasts etc. I’m a firm believer in bringing awareness to ALL women because that’s exactly what my book is about. Imagine what this world would look like with countless women supporting each other. Hello, energetic boomerang!   Today I’m sharing yet another excerpt from my book and this section, called Soul Talk, is all about really listening to what our soul wants and helping us step into our highest purpose.   “I want to clarify right now that even when you are listening to your soul it won’t always feel good at first. The difference is, when it’s a soul-guided decision, it will feel aligned and ultimately guide you to your bliss.”   Because this isn’t always the easiest task, my book walks you through how to tune in and really listen to your soul. It will help you move through what you’re going through – no matter what it is – and help you step into who you truly are.   I hope you’ve been enjoying the sneak peeks of the book and cannot wait for you to have it in your hands. I seriously have the best audience and your support means the world to me. If you feel called to help me get my book’s message out even more, please share this podcast with others.

  As I said before, I’m sharing excerpts from A Tribe Called Bliss up until the release of it and today I’m reading a section called, “There’s Got to Be More.” And it’s all about confronting the thing(s) that are in the way of living in your purpose. It was a perfect part to call out as I practiced exactly what I talked about, and I experienced a new level of clarity as a result.   “The things we need to confront will not stop eating at us until we confront them or live in our purpose.”   From the start of publishing my book, I knew I had a responsibility to share/address some things with my family before it came out in regard to my feelings. So I set an intention to have a conversation with my mom and come from the most loving, compassionate place and do my best not to hurt her or any other family member in the process.   Great news – the call was a success and we were able to clear the energy and open up opportunities for something deeper. Why do I share this? Because I’m on a path to share what’s helping me in the moment – and today was one of those moments. It’s not always easy, but that’s what you get from my quickies – real, raw and vulnerable. All in the hopes that it helps you and helps you step into your purpose.   Cannot wait to see you on the book tour or in our book club!   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Confronting people or issues that are in the way of living in your purpose A Tribe Called Bliss Book Club Lori’s new book, A Tribe Called Bliss   Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour.

A book that has been blowing my mind lately is 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr Benjamin Hardy. It might sound like crazy talk to say 10x is easier than 2x, but as I’ve looked back on my journey I’ve seen how that statement has been true for me in multiple areas of my life and business. In this episode, Chris and I share the one thing that has made us think bigger, take bigger action, and led to the biggest leaps of growth in our businesses. Stay tuned to as we break down the core concept that aiming high and shooting for exponential growth, rather than small incremental goals, is actually the easier path to success. You'll learn how to take that big audacious leap outside your comfort zone to accelerate your business and career in ways you never imagined. Will you 10x your mindset for growth with us this year?

My husband, Chris, and I were talking the other day and we thought it would be fun to share a short excerpt of A Tribe Called Bliss in the weeks leading up to the release date. So today I’m going to share a part from the beginning of the book, called “Tribal Fail,” which talks about what it looked like when I started to build my tribe.   You’ll discover that finding your tribe at first is awkward as hell, but it’s invaluable once you’re able to break through the surface with other women and form deeper connections. Because here’s the thing… we ALL need a tribe. Seriously, it’s proven (more details on that in the book) that the most successful, healthy and happy people have a group of people who always support them and have their back. And this is exactly why I wrote A Tribe Called Bliss and encourage you to build your tribe and work through the book together.   Again, it’s not always a straight road to find these people, and if you’re not quite ready to dive in with others, I encourage you to read the book through alone first. It will definitely get you into the right frame of mind to start your tribe when you’re ready.   This is just another reason why I’m so excited about my upcoming book tour. I cannot wait to connect people to their tribes! You never know who you’ll meet and form a lifelong relationship with.   Thank you so much again for helping me get this book and my message out into the world. Hope to see you at a book tour stop near you!   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   How she started to build her tribe Why everyone needs a tribe Lori’s new book, A Tribe Called Bliss   Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour.

  I’ll be honest…With my book releasing in a matter of weeks, it’s been really easy to become overwhelmed with all the tactical stuff and let my thoughts be led by fear. As a result, I’ve been literally praying for a reset. And, today wouldn’t you know, my prayers were answered.   I’ve had back-to-back podcasts scheduled this week and I was resisting my interview with Sarah Centrella… not because I didn’t want to talk with her, but because I had so many others things going on. I pushed through this resistance though and wow, am I glad I did. It was smack-dab in the middle of our conversation when I realized that this was the exact message and conversation about manifestation that I needed to help me reset and connect back to my why. It is always a mixture of work + magic, miracles, fear, leaning in etc.   So now I’m back on my path and fully committed to blazing trails for all those right now who need the support of like-minded women with the help of my book, A Tribe Called Bliss. We need to remember to always circle back to make sure we’re connected to our why, and if we’re not we must use the tools that will get us there.   “Support your soul and that will support everything in your life.”   Remember, you are not in this alone and when you’re struggling don’t forget to use your tools or reach out to someone who you know will help you reset your energy back into strength and love.   -- In This Episode We Talk about:   Women supporting women How Lori’s recent podcast helped her tap back into her why Lori’s new book, A Tribe Called Bliss   Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour.

I’m so happy to have the amazing Candice Kumai on the show today! A former model turned culinary chef and celebrity, she has now tapped back into who she truly feels called to be and that’s as a writer. Today, we’re talking about her new book, Kintsugi Wellness, and her journey and Japanese heritage that called her to write it.   Kintsugi is the beautiful Japanese practice of taking a broken item and sealing or mending the cracks with golden repair. Candice uses this as an analogy in everyone’s life as she feels that our struggles or challenges are what make us more beautiful. We are all imperfect and she whole-heartedly hopes we all can see the goodness in our flaws and celebrate them in ourselves – and in others.   There are so many fascinating components to both Candice and her new book – particularly the deep dive into her heritage’s practices and philosophies – and I can’t wait to read it in its entirety. Be sure to pick up your copy, too and let me know what you think! --     Question Highlights: Can you tell me what Kintsugi means, where it came from and where it came up throughout your journey? Do you think it was important for you to go through your rough times? What means the most in the world to you right now? What are some of the most exciting things you’ve learned in your research? What do you think were the core Japanese practices that shaped you? What’s something wise you’ve heard lately? What is resonating for people in your book? How do you incorporate mindfulness into the food you make? What are you most excited about right now?   In This Episode We Talk about: What Kintsugi means and how Candice came to write her new book, Kintsugi Wellness The importance of connection and sharing our stories and pasts What Candice’s Japanese heritage means to her Wabi Sabi and what it means Letting go of expectations Accepting your imperfections and seeing the beauty in them Being unapologetically who you are Resilience Learning to let go And much more…  -- Candice Kumai is known as “the golden girl of the wellness world” (Elle Magazine) and one of the “top 20 new role models” (Arianna Huffington). She is a classically trained chef, wellness writer, and author of five books. She contributes to lifestyle outlets such as Cosmopolitan, Yoga Journal, Elle, Shape, Bob Appétit, Byrdie, Girlboss, and Well + Good (where she also sits on their Wellness Council).

  Today I’m talking about being a living, breathing, walking paradox. As we all grow and evolve, there’s likely been at least a handful of times where you’ve felt this way. You’ve thought you were on the right path, but suddenly something just doesn’t feel right to you. It’s like your favorite jacket. You wear it all the time, but suddenly you just don’t like it anymore. You need a change so you try a new jacket on for size.   “If you’re growing and evolving, change is a part of you.”   When resistance like this rears up, you have a choice – either keep resisting and take zero action for it, or lean in to discover what part of your authentic truth comes out. It is so freeing!   During this episode, I read a short excerpt from A Tribe Called Bliss, about my own paradoxical truths that I’ve discovered and allowed to free me. We are all multi-faceted people. We don’t need to be ONE thing. One of my paradox examples is being humble yet powerful and confident.   It feels super awkward at first and trust me, it took (and still takes) a lot of work to let these contradictions show though. But you’re only stifling your true authentic self. Share your opinions and in turn share your value with others.   What’s a paradox in your life that you can step into, own and celebrate? Even the smallest things count as big ones.   “Contradict your way to clarity.”   You will feel the most you you’ve ever felt and invite more amazing people into your life who are doing the same.   -- In This Episode We Talk about:   Why you should lean into resistance Being a walking paradox Lori’s paradoxical truths that have personally freed her     Resources:   Go to ATribeCalledBliss.com to find out the latest on Lori’s book tour.

I’m so thankful that I stumbled across life coach, Chris Lee, on Lewis Howes’ podcast awhile back and that I since have had the honor of talking to him in person and now on Earn Your Happy! With over 27 years of experience in the arena of mindfulness and emotional intelligence, I had a feeling our conversation would be epic – and I know you won’t be disappointed.   With a childhood spent in Puerto Rico as a Jewish American, Chris’ life was not picture perfect. He was bullied and made fun of for his religion but his strong mother helped him to realize that he was able to look beyond the current situation and see how he could support his own life and make the situation better. He thought that if he could make the best out of this situation, that he could also help teach other people to do the same.   What I love about Chris’ work is that he only teaches the tools that he has experience with (you can find those 10 principles in his book noted in Resources). Furthermore, he is admittedly still a work in progress and still uses these tools to keep him living his best, most fulfilling and authentic life. I know you’re going to identify so much with Chris and the stories he’s shared. And it’s my hope that it will help you step into your own super-star authentic self as well.   --      Question Highlights: Would you share what you’re doing now and what was the turning point that got you started? What were some of the things that brought you to what you’re doing now? What was the first level for you of opening up? What was the first thing you needed to move through and how did you see how the tools expanded into other areas? How do you move through issues of self-worth? How did you find your authentic sentence/self and how does someone else find theirs? Where do you borrow faith from, where does it come from and how do you get enough faith and courage to take the first big step and leap? How do you stay connected to your why? What’s making you feel the most abundant right now? What does fun feel like to you? And why is fun productive in your life? How do you tap into compassion without getting completely sucked in or drained?   In This Episode We Talk about: Chris’ childhood as a Jewish American in Puerto Rico The duality of light and dark within all of us Shifting mindset, focus and energy to attract more good Shifting actions to shift results Developing authentic affirmations Determining your why and staying connected to it The importance of having a group of supportive, like-minded friends How Chris creates and uses his vision board How Chris starts every day with meditation/prayers of gratitude Interpreting things in a way that empowers How Chris plans to bring his wisdom to people’s homes And much more…   Quotes:   “I don’t need to make it happen, I can attract it to happen.”   “The power within has the power to really move things in a way you never thought possible.”   “When I honor my purpose, I’m happier.”   “Create a bulletproof belief about yourself based on who you authentically are.”   “The why is the fuel.”   “True freedom is the ability to interpret.”   --   Chris Lee is a transformational facilitator, coach, and TV personality.

Yes, you read this episode’s title correctly – I’m talking about meltdowns today. I’m owning the fact that I’ve had a few more than normal lately and I want you to know that you’re entitled to have them, too.   “Meltdowns are healthy – don’t resist them.”   Right now, as you’ve heard, I’ve got a lot of amazing things happening, but all of these things are pushing me right to the edge. It’s a lot like feeling like a pressure cooker. The stress builds and builds and I feel like I’m going to burst! And… sometimes I do and that’s OK!   As a matter of fact, after my magical Bliss Project event both my husband and I had meltdowns at the end of our short two-day recharge. After we had them though, we felt better. And it’s because we allowed ourselves to move through our emotions!   Here’s where the upgrade comes in… You can have a downward spiral, but find the good in it! Don’t let it get out of control to the point where all you’re looking for is the bad. Have the meltdown, but find some good in it by making sure to have a solution-based conversation after – either with a friend, family member or co-worker.   I’m not going to lie. Different seasons of your life are going to require EVERYTHING you’ve got and it’s going to feel like it’s never-ending. You’ll likely want to throw the towel in and fly to a remote island. But it won’t always be this way. I promise if you keep going, you will make it to the other side.   So, what will make you feel better or more in control in the present moment? Whatever it is, do that. Just make sure that you’re getting super intentional by creating the time and space to recharge. And of course, having that full-out ugly cry will certainly help every now and then, too! -- In This Episode We Talk about:   Why you’re entitled to have meltdowns Why meltdowns are healthy Getting intentional with your time and space  Resources:   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available for order at loriharder.com/amazon Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

Yay!  I am so excited for today's episode because we have my husband back on the podcast! To learn more about our newest ALIGNED program, visit BecomeAligned.com Enrollment CLOSES Wednesday!

Today I talk about being authentic as it’s one of the most important things you can follow throughout your lives. But for a lot of us, we find ourselves struggling to attract and connect with the people who we want to connect with. Personally, I discovered later on that it was because I wasn’t showing up fully as myself.   I didn’t want others to see that I was anything but “fine” because I didn’t want to be a burden. Instead, to receive much-needed validation, I constantly put myself in the role of fixer and peacekeeper. So in order to start showing my true self, I had to get vulnerable and share more of myself to others (something I still have to make an effort to do).   “If we don’t risk vulnerability and rejection, we will never actually have authentic connection.”   It won’t always go well, but when you take the risk, you leave yourself open to attract a tribe of people who will act as a safety net for you when you do face your fears. In my book, A Tribe Called Bliss, Be Authentic is one of 7 sacred agreements to creating relationships (I read an excerpt from the book during this episode).   Becoming authentic is actually following your joy and what lights you up. When we’re not following that it often has to do with the relationships we’re in. And sometimes we have to weed out the inauthentic relationships that are keeping us tied to the version of ourselves that we think we should show up as.   “You can’t be seen if you’re not showing up fully you.”   It’s time to get vulnerable and take risks and peel back all the layers of the real you. By doing this you’re able to attract your own tribe and attract all the people you’re meant to attract. Put simply:   “Stop trying to fit in and start trying to be more YOU.”   Imagine the incredibly powerful shift and movement we can all make with we join forces for good that cannot be stopped. I’m so excited to get this shift started on May 8!   -- In This Episode We Talk about:   What it means to be authentic Discovering and weeding out inauthenticity in your life Attracting who you are meant to attract How Lori’s A Tribe Called Bliss book works  Resources:   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available for pre-order at loriharder.com/amazon   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

I’m so thrilled to have my friend and fellow master-minder, Lindsay Sukornyk, back on the show! Not only is she a great coach, yoga instructor and mom, but she’s also one of the best conversationalists I know. When we talk there is never a bad conversation.   In this episode, we talk about stepping into fear and reframing it as an opportunity for growth and aliveness. Lindsay and I also discuss the impact nature has when it comes to helping you get into more of a flow state (her Alive + Awake retreats are perfect for this). Regardless, it’s about listening to the “whispers” that nudge you in the direction you’re meant to go. And generally those are the things that resonate with you and make you feel good. Don’t know about you, but I am all for more of that in my life!   I guarantee you’ll feel a little lighter after listening to the words of my unicorn friend and eager to elevate your life to the next level (perhaps in Costa Rica?). --      Question Highlights: How did you decide to move to Costa Rica and start doing retreats and other things? What makes you this insane warrior going straight for the fear and straight for the opposite of what’s logical? How do you allow yourself to lean in, have faith and get into the flow state at any time? Why are we so resistant to be ourselves? What is most exciting for you right now?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Lindsay left her elite career because she was unsatisfied and wanted to tap into her highest potential Yoga, mindfulness and spirituality Working remotely and how to make it work How Lindsay changed her perspective on fear and reframed it as an opportunity for growth and aliveness Triggering flow states by stepping into fear The effect nature has on transformation in all forms How Lindsay’s Alive + Awake retreats help others step into their highest potential Lindsay’s book-writing journey so far And much more…   Quotes:   “Listen to the whispers.”   “This way to the good stuff.”   “This whole journey for us has been one of leaping into the unknown and making it up as we go and then ultimately listening to the whispers of our souls, but also taking the actions required.”   “When we play and have fun, everything can go way faster and far more smoothly – especially when it comes to transformation.”   “Surrender to the magic that’s available when we let go of our plans and expectations.”   --   Lindsay is a unicorn trainer, transformational leadership expert, master coach, writer, wanderluster, and mama of four amazing kids. She is living the dream with her family in Costa Rica, France and Canada, where she guides elite leaders from around the world through transformational activation experiences in the surf town where she lives. She is completing her first novel and screenplay, “Path of the Unicorn.” A regular Huffington Post blogger and often featured as a speaker and expert in the media, she is a certified professional co-active coach (CPCC) with CTI and a RYT 500 certified yoga teacher. Lindsay has a B. Comm from Queen’s University, where she majored in strategy and organizational behavior. She began her career at A.T. Kearney, a top-tier global management consulting firm. In the elite transformational leadership coaching space for over 15 years, Lindsay has spoken to and coached founders and influencers at global events such as Afest, the Bliss Project, and leading organizations, including Accenture, and A.T. Kearney, Starbucks, Deloitte, P&G, Blackberry and Revlon. She has been cited as an expert media such as The Globe and Mail, The National Post and Canadian Business Magazine.

  With so many projects happening right now, I’ve had to tap into a different part of myself – a part that requires me to lean into my faith and imperfection. You see for a long time I had a story around the amount of time I needed to create. What I’m finding now is that it was just that – a story.   In the past few months, I’ve learned to create (talks, programs etc.) in a much shorter amount of time. And scheduling wise, because I didn’t have a choice, I practiced massive amounts of faith to get it all done!   “Everything can be done in the amount of time that you have.”   The truth is that we use the amount of time we have – no matter how long that time period is. For example, I took the full 30 days to write my TedTalk – and tweaked right up until the end. I wanted my message to be perfect. But what I’ve found is that my audience doesn’t want to see perfection all the time. And just because I have the time, doesn’t mean I should use it all.   “When you over-prepare, over-perfect and over-tweak, you’re not leaving space for faith or trust.”   Where in your life are you over-perfecting or over-prepping? Now, don’t get me wrong, you should prepare, but you must leave space for your divine message to come through. Try tapping into what your audience wants to hear. Chances are if you have the fears, they do too. How can you use your experiences to help them overcome them? When you authentically share like this you are inviting yourself and others to up-level and live out your purpose.   After all, it isn’t about you – it’s about your audience and the message that you were meant to share. There is so much power in your imperfections – so let them shine through and have faith that others will relate to them as well.   “Focus on less perfection and prepping in order for your message to come through.”   -- In This Episode We Talk about:   Upleveling and learning to create in a shorter amount of time Why procrastination can be a gift The power of imperfection and authenticity to change lives   Resources:   Aligned Course Loriharder.com/aligned   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available for pre-order at loriharder.com/amazon   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/    Check out my website at loriharder.com.

Today’s guest, Hila Plitmann, is like me, a regular at SoulCycle. It’s no surprise that I noticed her energy right away as she was always smiling, singing or dancing. But when I heard her angelic voice, it stopped me in my tracks and I knew I had to meet her.   Hila connected with music at a very young age, landed her first opera role at age 14 and attended Julliard School of Music. Now a singer and actor, Hila is just as passionate about music now as she was years ago. And once you hear her sing (and our conversation), you’ll see the intention and light behind her.   I always love hearing about all of the various creative processes out there and I hope you’ll also enjoy hearing how Hila taps into the feelings of her body with each new project or song.   --      Question Highlights: What was it for you when you were younger that made you know that you had to follow this dream of singing, and what were the consequences if you didn’t experience or follow it? What would you say to someone who maybe doesn’t know how that creative expression can come about? How do you nurture that? When you go into creation mode, what are you thinking when you want to put something out in the world? Did you recognize your dream and create it? What happened after? What do you do now when you have a lot of extra creative energy? What new things are going on for you right now?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Hila and I connected at SoulCycle Not taking pain too seriously, but rather embracing it and inviting it in Walking and writing to process feelings Releasing self-judgment and criticism Tapping into the feelings of your body to create Hila’s non-structured structured life And so much more…   Quotes:   “It’s a state of timelessness when music and stories are in my life.”   “Relish and let yourself be in this amazing experience of life.”   -- A Grammy Award-Winning Singer, Songwriter and Actress, Hila Plitmann is a glittering jewel on the international music scene, known worldwide for her astonishing musicianship, light and beautiful voice and the ability to perform challenging new work.

I’m just getting back from my Bliss Project event weekend and honestly still recharging and processing all the magical things that happened. One of the topics we discussed at length was what happens before and after breakthroughs or graduating to the next level. In my experience as well as other Bliss beauties, I’ve found that when we’re on the verge of the next level of our lives, things start to go wrong. We doubt if we even have what it takes, things feel like they’re falling apart etc., and we want to give up. But if we stick to it and keep pushing through with full-time faith we’re rewarded. “Full-time faith will always bring us to a higher elevation of life.”   Personally, before each new level I’ve discovered that either something from the past comes back to haunt me or my faith is tested by multiple things going the exact opposite way of what I’d planned.   We all have “rocket ship” or “coast” moments – we’re either full throttle and feeling a little unsure and sick or breaking through to enjoy the coast that comes after.   I would love to tell you that you could go on coast mode your whole life, and things will be easy all the time, but I can’t. Again this is where full-time faith comes in. We must believe that everything, even the bad stuff, is happening for us and helping us get to that next level as soon as possible.    -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   What it means to uplevel and what it feels like Why challenges tend to come up right before a breakthrough Why we don’t get to choose when we have faith   Resources:   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available for pre-order at loriharder.com/amazon   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/     Check out my website at loriharder.com.

A lot has changed since we last chatted and I was so happy to catch up and dish about her new book, Open Wide: A Radically Real Guide to Deep Love, Rocking Relationships, and Soulful Sex.   Melissa believes that all of us are meant to have deep and fulfilling relationships with deep love however, often we’re unable to achieve them because we lack unconditional self-love for ourselves.

  This past weekend, I spoke in front of 10,000 people at Grant Cardone’s 10X Growth Conference. And while it was one of the most amazing speaking experiences of my life, it came with a ton of doubt, lack of clarity and more nerves than I’d ever experienced.   During the weeks leading up to this event and planning my talk, I struggled to find clarity. I panicked. With several big things happening this past month, I was stuck in my own head and nothing else could come through.   “Being busy can be the biggest curse when you’re trying to be creative.”    At this point, doubt crept in and I began to wonder how the hell I even received this opportunity. I knew I was meant to be there and share a message, but I questioned if they had the right Lori Harder. So, I did what I knew I needed to do.   I reached out to my Earth angels and asked for their support and confirmation that yes, I could do this, and yes, I was meant to do this. It helped so much. My talk fell into place and it was off to Las Vegas for the conference.   However, the day before the event I felt waves of sheer terror. Dizzy at times and feeling like I was going to pass out, I told my husband, “I’m going down.” He quickly helped me reframe with questions such as, “What are you excited about? What are you grateful for?” It helped a little, but I still felt shaken. That is until I stepped onto the stage and saw all of the people. I was instantly grounded and realized that,   “No vision is given to us if it’s not for us. We must have faith in that.”   When I pictured all of my tribe who supported me, my faith kicked in and I felt calm. I felt a part of me I’d never felt. It was one of the most incredible talks.   So, the moral of the story? Have faith. Take risks – even when it scares the crap out of you.   “Stop thinking that a mediocre life is going to make you happy.”   Everything you want is on the other side of fear. It doesn’t always feel good, but it’s not supposed to. Lean into that uncertainty and know that for all the lows we experience, we often experience an abundance of highs.     -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   How Lori overcame her anxiety around speaking in front of 10,000 people Why we need full-time faith Why we need to lean into uncertainty   Resources:   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available for pre-order at http://loriharder.com/amazon Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/   Check out my website at http://loriharder.com.

  Now that my book is available for pre-order, I am over the moon excited to talk a bit more about it and the journey it’s taken me on so far. First of all, I’ve always felt there was a book inside me waiting to be shared with the world, I just didn’t know when and I certainly didn’t know how it would happen.   It may come as shock to some that I’ve been working on this book for nearly four years now, but after many rejections, the publishing company that I wished for accepted my proposal and offered me the exact amount I had envisioned. The rejections were hard, but I only needed one yes, and I had faith that it would come.   “When we continue to choose faith, it’s going to show up in a completely different way thank you expect.”   But once my book proposal was accepted and we talked timelines, I did the unthinkable. I scrapped everything I’d written and started over. I knew so much more than what I initially wrote about and knew that this book was going to be a launch pad for a bigger movement. The book title, A Tribe Called Bliss, hit me like a lightning bolt on a plane ride home from a getaway with my husband. I knew, without a doubt, the message my book was meant to tell.   So here it is: we are not meant to do this all alone. We need to surround ourselves with a tribe that up-levels our lives, but also supports us and holds us accountable to our goals. But after many years of unknowingly searching for this tribe, I know it’s not an easy task. And that’s where this book comes in. I walk you through how to build your own tribe, step by step, and provide you with scripts and talking points to help you and your tribe reach your highest potential. There will be bumps along the way, but I’ve also included tips to help you remedy them.   It is my hope that you all grab a copy of this book and invite others to join you. I can only imagine the energy that will be pulsing through the universe when women do this together. I know firsthand that I would be lost without the support and encouragement I have in mine.   “It takes a tribe to build a tribe.”    -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   About Lori’s book-writing journey and how A Tribe Called Bliss came to be How A Tribe Called Bliss helps you build a tribe that up-levels your life What the Seven Sacred Agreement are   Resources:   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder Now available for pre-order at http://loriharder.com/amazon Be sure to screenshot your pre-order and tag me along with three other tribe members who you want to join you for the chance to win a copy of the book (galley copy that’s not fully edited).

  In a recent Instagram post, I shared how life was a lot like buying something from IKEA. You ask for something and you receive it, but it’s nothing like you expected. It comes in pieces, there are no directions and oh, your dog ate the instructions. So now you have to figure out how to make something out of this mess. It’s time to get resourceful.   Life is much the same. Every day you’re thrown a new obstacle – whether it’s relationships, love or business – that you must navigate through. You build the skills as you go – and more than likely crash and burn a couple of times – but you learn what works and what doesn’t. These challenges aren’t obstacles, they’re lessons and it’s our job to figure out what they are.   I’m right in the middle of a huge “IKEA delivery.” So many pieces, with zero direction and I don’t know which end is up. Can you relate? I’ve once again had to allow myself to be a beginner and create a new process as I go. It’s rocky, but I’ve learned that I can let myself to kick, scream and cry so long as I’m putting in the time and work. There’s a TON of lessons being learned and I know I will use them moving forward.   “Obstacles are here to serve me, not break me down.”   -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   Why we must choose adversity before it chooses us How life delivers you exactly what you’re asking for Why we need to find the lessons among the obstacles   Resources:   A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder --> Now available for pre-order at loriharder.com/amazon Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/ Check out my website at loriharder.com.

Last week, I had the privilege of traveling to Guatemala as part of Pencils of Promise, an organization that’s committed to building sustainable schools. And wow, what a life-shifting and world-changing trip. I thought I was already rooted in gratitude, but this trip really grounded me and made me even more grateful for everything.   Pure transparency, this trip didn’t come at an ideal time with my crazy schedule. But it actually turned out to be THE perfect time for me to get a major (and much-needed) perspective shift and reframe.   Upon returning, I found myself grateful for the sidewalk, clean water, my bed, but especially my cup of coffee – you name it! In the village where we stayed, they literally grow their own coffee beans, pick them, roast them and then brew their cup. This particular village has only had electricity for five years and most have homes with dirt floors. How often do we all tend to take these things for granted? Some of the things we worry about are so small when you look at other parts of the world. My advice:   “Choose what you’re going to hold tight near and dear to your heart. And choose what you’re going to let go of.”   There is so much that doesn’t matter. Choose to focus on the people you love and get more love out into the world. Focus on giving back, spreading your message and doing what you love so you can make YOUR impact on the world.   -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   Why it’s so powerful to find beauty in the simple things Why we must share our message with love How perspective and gratitude change everything   Resources:   Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/ to catch the first look at my book cover and hear which cities I’m planning to visit during my book tour!

I’m so happy to have fitness experts and coaches, Chris and Eric Martinez (Dynamic Duo), on the show today! After dealing with the tragic loss of their father at the young age of 17, both were left with a lot of anger when dealing with that pain. After some missteps along the way (we all have them), they made the decision to stop stewing in their pain and pursue their passion. After stumbling on and becoming inspired by a magazine article, they took action to get coached and followed up by earning their certifications and creating Dynamic Duo Training.   Now they’re teaching all their clients how to make massive shifts in their mindsets to promote growth and abundance while working on the physical as well. I had so much fun talking with the identical twins and trading stories and lessons from all of our journeys. I have a feeling you’ll be able to take away some valuable knowledge nuggets, too. Enjoy!   --      Question Highlights: What is an attitude that you guys bring to everything you do that you found has served you? Where do you guys go to get into an abundant mindset around your business when you’re creating? If you had a billboard and it was the only thing that you could share with people, what would it say? How do you balance high standards in all areas of your life? Which of the 4 Pillars of Life, do you struggle with the most? Is your clientele mostly men or women? And is there an overarching theme among them? What is the best advice you’ve ever gotten? What is your morning routine? Do you have boundaries around social media? What are things you do to disconnect? What is something you wish more people knew about you or asked you about?   In This Episode We Talk about: Shifting your mindset to one of abundance Leveling up and getting better The importance of humility and having a growth mindset KLT (Know, Like and Trust) The life-shifting events that drove Eric and Chris to begin Dynamic Duo Finding balance between the extremes The 4 Pillars of Life (Health, Wealth, Love and Happiness) Learning to teach what you’ve learned to others The power in morning and nightly wind-down routines Mental de-loading Their book, “The New Era of Fitness” And so much more…   Quotes:   “Be a giver not a taker.”   “Stop chasing being physically fit. Work on being more mentally, emotionally and spiritually fit.”   “Chase the six-pack in your brain.”   “Choose faith over fear.”   “In the absence of clarity take action.”   -- Chris and Eric Martinez, also known as the “Dynamic Duo,” operate a world class online Training, Nutrition, and Lifestyle Consulting Business by the name of “Dynamic Duo Training.” Chris and Eric are also business coaches that help fitness enthusiasts grow their online businesses.   Chris and Eric have worked with thousands of people via online and in person to help them look better, feel better, perform better, and live a dynamic lifestyle through training, nutrition, mindset, personal development, and lifestyle practices.   They practice what they preach on a daily basis and that’s to live a dynamic lifestyle, which in their eyes means to keep evolving in life, training, and nutrition, and to never live a static and complacent lifestyle.

As I’ve shared in recent episodes, my plate is currently full ­­– the fullest it’s ever been with the most beautiful, epic things. But here’s the flip side, I still get anxiety around it all and feel overwhelmed. With that in mind, it’s imperative that I find the peace in between the moments of chaos.   Thankfully my husband shared three life-shifting questions from Tim Ferriss with me to help shift my perspective when I feel chaos creeping in. I cannot believe what a game-changer they’ve been in the past week. These questions are to be asked whenever you’re presented with a task that you’re either dreading, nervous about or just plain unsure of how you feel about it. Are you ready? The three questions are:   What would this look like if it were fun? What would this look like if it were easy? What would this look like if it were graceful?   These are the questions asked by those who want to live an epic life. Just the other day, these questions helped me show up for a call as my authentic self. I didn’t pretend to be someone I wasn’t. I approached it with zero expectations and made an authentic connection and the call ended with a surprising (incredible!) outcome. When you incorporate these questions into your life, you’re also inviting in more ease, forgiveness and power to let go of the things that aren’t serving you.   Feel like giving it a whirl? Try asking these questions for a day and let me know how it works for you by sharing under my post. It’s so exciting to share the tools I’ve used and I love to hear how they’re helping you, too!   -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   The three questions that can help you live an epic life Why it’s important to make and have authentic connections What it means to find sustainability   Resources:   Check out my website at http://loriharder.com.

  My guest, health nutritionist and author, Kelly LeVeque and I have been circling each other for quite a while, which makes me so ecstatic that we were finally able to connect. With an early interest in health (it was her favorite class in high school), she went to college and after worked eight years in the cancer and genetics field. During this time, however, Kelly still felt pulled to help others with their nutrition and did so as she was able. It wasn’t until a friend finally told her “enough already,” that she went back to college for nutritional coaching and has been seeing clients full time since 2015.   Kelly truly loves the science behind nutrition and uses the power of it to motivate her clients and elevate their nutrition choices. She admits that she doesn’t believe in eliminating food groups, but does stress the importance of finding the right balance for YOUR body (hint blood sugar plays a big role). We talk about several aspects of this philosophy and you can find even more of them in her new book, Body Love. I related with so much of this conversation and suspect that you will too, so be prepared for your brain to grow a little.     --      Question Highlights: Is there any exercise you do to help yourself get really clear on what you need? When a client has the same issue repeatedly is there something you always look at or are there multiple tests? For people who are stuck, where do you begin? How do you balance the points between sticking to it and sabotage? What are some of the main side effects that you see? Have you ever been addicted to caffeine? What is the biggest myth you’ve run into when looking at intake forms? Do you ever see where you can find joy in experiences versus food? What do you do when you’re seeking comfort? What have you learned about yourself because of eating cleaner?   In This Episode We Talk about: Bio-individuality and Kelly’s pillars of nutritional needs Learning to love yourself at your fit weight Intuitive eating How Kelly uses science to motivate clients The importance and effects of insulin and cortisol Side effects of different foods How science can set you free with your diet Avoiding the drastic “pendulum swings” and finding balance Setting attainable goals What Kelly does to decompress Making healthier replacement comfort foods Taking charge of your health and understanding it How a glucometer works And so much more…   Quotes:   “You have to be willing to change.”   “If you’re balanced and satisfied, you know what you can and can’t do.”   “Little changes become habits.”   “Make it a choice, not a cheat.”   “Blood sugar is an indicator of what’s to come.”   -- Kelly LeVeque is a celebrity nutritionist, wellness expert, and best selling author based in Los Angeles, California. Before starting her consulting business, Be Well By Kelly, she worked in the medical field for Fortune 500 companies like J&J, Stryker, and Hologic, eventually moving into personalized medicine, offering tumor gene mapping and molecular subtyping to oncologists. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California and completed her postgraduate clinical education at UCLA and UC Berkeley. Kelly’s client list includes Jessica Alba, Chelsea Handler, Kate Walsh and Emmy Rossum. Guided by a practical and always optimistic approach, Kelly helps clients improve their health, achieve their goals and develop sustainable habits to live a healthy and balanced life.  She lives in Los Angeles with her husband.

Growth doesn’t feel good all the time. I’ve mentioned this before, but over the past couple months it’s been proven even more as I’ve noticed that my career and life are at totally new and different levels. Don’t get me wrong, this all feels amazing…but it’s ALL new things and quite honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming and scary. There is so much that I don’t know about where I’m at and I’ve come to the realization that I need to be OK with that.   “Allow yourself to be where you’re at. Allow yourself to be a beginner.”   This mucky, but glorious spot means more growth is on the horizon. Nothing is ever as it seems and there is always a period of adjustment. Welcome it and enjoy the ride. All those moments that feel awkward and clunky as hell? Embrace them.   “Find the lesson in the resistance.”   Sure, we could stay at the same level year after year, but deep down your spirit doesn’t want that. It craves growth and your life has unlimited levels to achieve. I mean could you imagine staying at the exact same level for the rest of your life? Me neither.   Don’t forget, this isn’t a race. Even if it feels like you’re not moving, or you feel too busy or things are coming and going in your life – be grateful for all of it. Everything is happening for you and you will not miss what was meant for you. Every moment has a purpose, whether it’s to clear space, slow you down or take you to the next level.   Root yourself in the present moment, shift your perspective and find the lesson in it. Believe that everything that is for you will find its way to you – and it will. -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   That growth doesn’t feel good all the time Why it’s OK to feel like a beginner again Why we need resistance for growth   Resources:   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

  This past weekend, I attended an event for the network marking company I’m affiliated with it and it was incredible! Every year around this time I always reflect and am so grateful for the relationships it has brought into my life. I honestly never thought I would be part of this type of company (it took a long time and ton of fear), but despite the nay-sayers and my own initial reservations, I haven’t regretted it for a second.   So if you’re feeling fear around something and/or a pull on your soul, go for it and ignore all the background noise within and outside – I’m living proof. Trust me, after creating a podcast, network marketing and writing a book, I’ve come to trust my soul to guide me in the right direction. But in order to do so, I have to consistently keep chipping away day by day at my goals.   “Consistency trumps everything.”   If you keep showing up and learning, you will go exactly where the message on your soul means for you to go. And this often times means ignoring the protective voices in your head and of others. Ditch the stories that swirl around in your head and choose the thoughts that align with your message. And yes, we ALL have a message (that means you!).   “If you have a pulse, you have a message.”   Your message is as unique as you are, so if you haven’t pinned down exactly what it is, don’t worry, you just need to listen more closely and give it a bit more time. Even if you think that pull is something far too simple… stop and listen. Does it bring you fulfillment or happiness? Ding, ding – you’ve got a winner, and now you must protect it.   Full honesty? It takes a ton of bravery to create boundaries and protect your goals and message. After all, your goals are linked to your happiness. But let’s not forget faith. It is imperative that you have faith throughout the winding process of life.   “Faith is trusting that you’re forgiven in the face of no closure.”   What do I mean by this? Lately, I’ve had to say no to a lot of people who I’ve wanted to say yes to. I’m a people pleaser (old habits die hard), but I work on it every day. Sometimes when I say no or have to leave a conversation abruptly, I feel such guilt and fear that someone will be upset with me. The reality though is that they likely didn’t even notice. And if they did, they either understand or will forget it in a matter of minutes.   “Create boundaries around the things that are leaking your energy.”   Stop leaking your energy by carrying guilt for something that doesn’t exist! Give yourself the gift of closure – forgive and move on. I’m not saying that you won’t have your challenges along the way, but preserve your energy to fulfill your goals/message.   “Big, bold steps take energy and bravery.”   -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   Why we need to create boundaries to protect our goals and message The importance of whole-heartedly having faith and forgiveness How you can gain energy back by getting closure  Resources:   Check out my website at http://loriharder.com.

I don’t know about you, but I love the natural reset that occurs with a new year. It’s a way to reset our intentions and make sure our time and energy are in alignment with our goals. But often times, this extra time and energy never come around because we’ve already taken up the “extra” with anxiety and stressful thoughts that don’t serve us.   So today we’re talking about how we can get more time, energy and willpower. And the simplest (but not necessarily the easiest way) is to clear your mental space.   “Fuel the potential and focus on the possibility.”   This means no focusing on what could go wrong and only focusing on all the amazing things that could go right. Become aware of overwhelming thoughts. And when you feel those thoughts sneaking in redirect them to something positive. What would help you right in that moment? What do you need? A walk outside? A fresh cup of coffee? A talk with a friend? Making a to-do list? Whatever it is, do that. Seriously, find THE smallest thing that helps you feel better.   Next, close the loops! You know all those small, trivial things that happen day after day – let them go! For instance, you’re driving and someone cuts you off. You’re mad, and what could be a quick blip of annoyance turns into 20 minutes of fuming over a person who hasn’t thought twice about it. You just used up 20 minutes of your mental energy – and it didn’t help you (or that person) at all. Use your energy wisely. Use your thoughts to fuel your dreams, and get more drive and willpower. Don’t waste your mental space on a bad driver or something equally as simple.   Now I’m not saying that you can’t ever get mad – it happens! But we must remember to shift out of those low-level (draining) thoughts as quickly as possible. Think of low-level thoughts as energetic sandbags. For each low-level thought, add a sandbag and carry it around. Another low-level thought? Add another… Imagine if we never ditched these energetic sandbags, how weighed down we’d feel.   We need to close the open loops that are draining our mental batteries by forgiving and getting rid of any indecision in the process. Once you do, you’ll replace any pain, indecision, guilt or shame with more peace, ease, space and power in your mind. And I don’t know about you, but that’s my favorite space to be in.   -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   Why the new year is such a great time for a reset How to create more time, energy and space in your brain What it means to close open loops And much more   Resources:   Check out my website at http://www.loriharder.com.

  Don’t be shocked when you hear a male voice as the podcast begins – it’s just my husband Chris, who’s back for another dual podcast! Both of us have been lit over here since ringing in the New Year and we wanted to share some of our thoughts out loud regarding some of the things we’ve been working on going into 2018 (hint: new eCourse coming in the next couple months).   First and foremost, we’ve both done a lot of reassessing and have gotten really clear and laser-focused on what we want to see and do this year – individually and as a couple – both in business and in play. Find out what we’re working to get rid of and what we’re working to align ourselves with more – some things may surprise you! We’re putting it all about there in this super candid conversation – you don’t want to miss it!   --      Questions Asked in This Episode: What was something you loved that we did on New Year’s Eve? What is something you do to get clear on your goals/intentions? What are your mindset blocks? What is one of the rituals that you’re committed to? What are your favorite ways to find tribe? How do you find the energy to keep up with your habits/rituals and how do you stay in the energy to keep doing it? Why should people be unapologetic about their pursuit of wealth and success?   In This Episode We Talk about: Our rituals, how we set goals and how we figure out what the next step will be Getting clear Finding and following the things that light you up Releasing judgment Aligning beliefs with intentions Preventing negative thoughts from taking root and nurturing positive thoughts Chris and Lori’s rituals The importance of boundaries to avoid resentment Finding a tribe that helps you think bigger or reinforce positive thoughts Making tiny adjustments one at a time in order to tackle bigger challenges Why play is such a big deal And so much more…   Quotes:   “Clarity is power.”   “It’s simple, but it’s not easy.”   “Focus on the impact you’re going to make.

Can you believe it? This is my last official quickie of 2017! What a ride 2017 was. And before I get into things here, and no matter what happened, I want you to acknowledge everything that happened – good and bad – and how it’s helped you learn.   Try to reframe the word failure, because it’s not always about winning or failing, it’s about learning or… learning. Yes! Can you we agree to take the word failure out of our vocabulary? As Nelson Mandela once said, “I don’t lose. I either win or learn.”   We need the contrast to help guide us where to go next. Personally, there we several things that I hoped to accomplish or have a different outcome within 2017, but it just made me realize that those dips and darkness were needed to amplify all the good things.   “The failures just tell you what to do next.”   And it was often the opposite of what I thought. Whether you lost a business, a friendship or a relationship, you learned. We are always learning and all the things we learn only help us live in our purpose. But here’s the thing, in order to realize all this, we need to find the courage to go against the grain. We need to say no. We need to do things that challenge what others say is the right thing to do.   You don’t need new goals; you just need to have the courage to say no to things that aren’t elevating your life. And trust me, it’s not going to be easy, but when you really dig deep and think outside the box, you can say truthfully that you lived a life that fully made you expand into the human you were meant to be.   “Step into your courage and into your truth.”   Wishing you abundance and bravery in 2018 – I cannot wait to see you rock your life!   -- In This Episode You Will Learn:   Why failures are part of our success How deeper courage won’t show up until you call upon it Why you don’t necessarily need new goals to live in your highest purpose   Resources:   2018 For the Love of Money Mastermind http://fortheloveofmoney.com/mastermind   Check out my website at loriharder.com.

  Photographer, jewelry maker and my guest today, Liana Louzon and I go way back (more than a decade) to my fitness competition days. It’s safe to say that a lot has changed, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the positive, driven and encouraging vibe that she gives off just by speaking with her. Originally from Russia, Liana made her way to Canada at the age of 14 and shares her journey of assimilating and learning a new language. While there were times of struggle, Liana learned to tap into her intuition and has since used that very skill to forge ahead in her creative businesses – namely her jewelry company, Rocking Vibe. If you’re a creative or longing to get MORE creative, be sure to listen in to hear how Liana taps into both her intuition, gets in her “zone,” and as a result creates a springboard for creativity.   --      Questions Asked in This Episode: When you came to Canada and didn’t know the language, what was that like? When did your interest in fitness begin? Where does your immediate response to not only follow your passion but to think big with it come from? What does it feel like when you’re not creating and sharing? When you’re so busy between your business and being a mom, how do you turn the creative light switch on? How do you put your flare on your creativity? What are some things that you’re doing right now that contradict each other, but you love it? Could you share some ways that can help others step into their power? Do you have any anything in your life that you’re struggling with or working through? What are you creating right now with Rocking Vibe and what direction do you want it to go?   In This Episode We Talk about: Liana’s creative journey How non-verbal communication helped Liana What drove Liana to become a photographer How Liana’s desire and passion overrode the fear The importance of becoming intuitive with yourself Liana’s struggle with asking for help Liana’s formula that helps keep that creative switch turned on How Liana gets into the creative zone The challenge of balancing parenting and creativity The value of people watching How crystals can keep you grounded and connected to the material world And so much more…   Quotes:   “Fear means progress is on the rise.”   “Fear is exciting. Show up, trust and choose bravery.”   “Even when I didn’t believe, I knew what I wanted.”   “Knowing your weaknesses is just as important as knowing your strengths.”   “Be intuitive with who you are.”   “Allow yourself to evolve.” -- Born and raised in Moscow, Russia, Liana immigrated to Canada at the age of 14. While learning English as a second language, Liana found that artistry (including her passion for photography as well as jewelry making and beading) helped her feel grounded and became a way of expressing herself as she faced the challenges of life in a new country. As her life evolved, Liana became a mother which ignited her desire to use her passion to contribute to a better future. In the summer of 2014, the idea of Rocking Vibe glimmered in her heart, and it wasn’t long before that spark became a fierce fire and Rocking Vibe was created.

  With the New Year a week away, goals and resolutions are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. And while this is a super exciting time of year, it can also be super overwhelming, too. Especially if you don’t feel you were successful with the previous year’s goals. So here’s what I suggest this year (and every year for that matter): Focus on RIGHT NOW, and you’ll figure out the HOW later. “It’s now about the how, it’s about knowing what you desire.” Get clear on one or two goals and make sure they’re in alignment with your desires. Nothing is set in stone so let your feelings guide you. If you’re having trouble getting clear, try sitting for five minutes or more in the morning (or whenever you have the time) and ask yourself, “What would bring me the most joy?” Additionally, “How can I serve others and still bring myself joy?” Sometimes it’s a matter of reframing and refocusing on things that already exist in your life. For me this past year, it was my online Body + Soul Program. I knew I wanted to attract more people into my tribe, but the more I focused on those that I didn’t have, the more lack I felt. So I reframed and focused on the people who I already had. “I manifested more of what I wanted because I was grateful for what I already had.” Focus on what you want. Focus on the those “pop” or “soul hit” moments that make you feel alive while also fulfilling your purpose. Pay attention and let those moments continue to pull you – even if your ego pushes back. There will be resistance, but you can always refocus, reframe and get back in alignment with your true desires. -- In This Episode You Will Learn: Why it’s important to gain clarity on 1 or 2 goals Why you don’t need to focus on the HOW when it comes to your goals Why we must pay attention to our “soul hits”  Resources: Check out my website at http://loriharder.com.

The other day I was talking with a friend about my recent trip to Nosara, Costa Rica. And one of the things we were talking about was their relationship with Mother Earth. The people there are so conscious of what they are putting out and also regulate what others bring in and take out. For example, there are very few garbage cans and even throwing away a gum wrapper was a challenge.   While this did get frustrating, I love that it forced me to be more aware of my surroundings and what trash I was carrying around or just throwing away for someone else to deal with. And as my friend and I continued to talk, we also realized that this concept ran parallel with us as humans, too.   What trash are you carrying around? Are you disposing of it in a healthy way? Are you sick of carrying it around? When you hear gossip, are you throwing it on someone else? Or are you up-cycling it into something better?   We must be more conscious of what we’re putting out into the Earth – both literally and figuratively – because we live in a cause and effect world. Our actions affect other people and things.   “Our physical surroundings affect our spiritual state.”   What is one small thing you could decide not to pick up or dispose of in a healthy way? I challenge you to find one thing and approach it with intention and see how you feel. And please share with me what you discover.   --  In This Episode You Will Learn:   How aware Costa Ricans are of Mother Earth About the parallels between the physical and spiritual world when it comes to collecting trash Why we must be more conscious of what we’re carrying, what we’re putting out and what we’re throwing away.   Resources:   Checkout my website at http://loriharder.com.

  New Year’s is just around the corner and I know that several of you are already working on your resolutions. Or maybe you’re a goal-getter all year round – and I applaud that! However, are you just interested in your goals or are you committed? Let’s talk about the differences between the two…   Now when I say committed, I mean committed. When you’re just interested, it may feel like your committed, but in the back of your mind you’re always looking for a way out. You haven’t set a date, you’re not risking anything or putting anything on the line. You’ve still got the opportunity to get out at any time. When you’re committed – you’re all in.   “A commitment is a one million percent YES.”   Here’s how the language around it changes. When you’re interested, it’s “Someday I will…, or “I would do x-y-z, but…” You’re always seeking out excuses why you can’t without realizing it. However, when you’re committed, you use phrases like, “I will…,” I am…” When obstacles arise, you offer no excuses and instead seek out solutions because you know that these will help someone in some way down the road.   “Solutions are the blessings you teach.”   Committed people surround themselves with people who don’t tolerate excuses, whereas those who are interested tend to find themselves with those who support those excuses. Weekends are a numbing time-out away from your goals. Those who are committed look for what they need in order to stay committed. Again, there is no way out.   “When you’re just interested, you always leave the window cracked open – there’s always a way out. When you’re committed, there is no way out, just through.”   And before I go, I just want to share one more difference and it’s in regard to worrying about what others think. You can likely guess this, but when people are just interested, they DO care what others think. When you’re committed, the only thing you’re worried about is not fulfilling your potential. Your worries feel purposeful because it’s not just about you.   If you’re feeling more on the interested side and want to get more committed, I encourage you to   “Take action from your future self who is committed.”   Keep that momentum going and please share with me what committed actions you’re taking today – I would love to hear from you!   In This Episode You Will Learn:   What the differences are between interested and committed How our obstacles help us teach and help others How the time spent on weekends makes a difference   Resources:   Checkout my website at loriharder.com.

Any WWE fans out there? Regardless if you are or not, you’re going to love the conversation I had with WWE and Total Divas star, Nia Jax. As a plus-size model and TV star, she is busting body stereotypes left and right and wants other women to unapologetically own who they uniquely are, too.   Tune in to hear how Nia’s journey brought her to the WWE, what she had to overcome to get there and how she uses that platform now to empower other women. --      Questions Asked in This Episode: When you were younger, was becoming a WWE star a dream of yours? Where did you have to go mentally in order to show up at your WWE tryout? What made you keep going? What would tell someone who is waiting for the perfect moment to do something? What is something that because of a no has made you stronger? What is something that you are extremely grateful for right now? Why do thinking it’s so important for women right now to use their voices and platforms? What is something you wish more people knew about you? What have you learned to embrace about yourself that before you wished was different? What are some boundaries you’ve had to set in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and mindset?   In This Episode We Talk about: How Nia got her start in the WWE How she’s helped bust stereotypes The importance of taking action before you’re ready Why WWE is the perfect for Nia How the NO’s lead to your perfect fit What drives Nia to do what she does Women’s empowerment Being different and owning it   Quotes:   “Don’t wait on your wait.”   “Right now I’m as good as I’m going to get today.”   “Women need to use their voice so they’re not settling for anything less than they deserve.”   -- There’s one thing that’s painfully clear when someone steps in the ring with Nia Jax: She’s not like most women. The 6-foot-tall Jax has towered over other women for as long as she can recall. She was kicked out of activities like karate, kickboxing and judo as a child because someone always ended up getting hurt at her hands. Though Jax eventually turned her attention toward the world of modeling, she still hungered for competition. A cousin of The Rock, she made her way to the WWE Performance Center where she learned to harness her aggression in the squared circle. She immediately blew away all other Superstars in terms of power, claiming all of the WWE Performance Center’s female lifting records. Unsurprisingly, Jax has dominated her competition since her debut, squeezing the air out of her opponents with a crushing bear hug before viciously slamming them into the mat to earn the victory. She carried that power with her to Raw as a surprise selection in the 2016 WWE Brand Extension Draft and immediately established herself as a future power player in the Women’s division. From day one, Jax claimed that greatness was her destiny. Her size and power may ensure that she reaches it sooner than anyone expects.   Resources: IG: @niajaxwwe FB: facebook.com/JaxWWE http://www.wwe.com/superstars/nia-jax   Monday Night Raw on USA Network Mondays, 8 p.m. EST   Total Divas on E!

  This is the time of year where little bursts of inspiration or positivity are most needed, am I right? With the hustle, bustle and stress of visitors and visiting family, it’s hard not to let it get to you at some point.   So this year I’m already switching my focus from stress to excitement. I am in control of how I feel and how I act. No matter what old beliefs pop up when spending time around family and friends, I will not let it derail my current beliefs.   I know that most of us have those certain people who criticize their lifestyle, career or habits, but don’t take the bait! You’re not going to change them and you’re certainly not going to change for them, right?   Go in with the energy that “it’s all OK,” and let all the little stuff roll off your back. Now this doesn’t give anyone permission to walk all over you, but if you can just LOVE and LISTEN a little more, and release expectations, you’re going to close out the holidays on a high note.   See what happens when you can allow, accept and have compassion instead of going on the defense or judging. How much can you grow and let go of this holiday season? Tell me what your plans are for propelling yourself through the holidays and into 2018? I want to hear because we’re all in this together.   In This Episode You Will Learn:   Why relationships are our biggest teachers How to show up with the energy that says all is OK The importance of being a better communicator and listener   Resources:   Checkout my website at http://loriharder.com.
