Heart Portal – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Friends, Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we explore 3 amplifiers or requirements for your expansion - all rooted in the idea of being fully present. Your journey of expansion will require you to introduce and explore 3 things, each an amplifier for your journey:

1. Surrender as am Amplifier -- we talked about letting go of reaching for what was or what will be as an amplifier for your expansion. I offered you questions to explore when it comes to surrender.

2. Pleasure as an Amplifier -- yup good old fashion, feel good, joy. What makes you feel good, what gets your heart beating, where do you lose yourself or get inspired by. Kids really were on to something when they would get lost in the pleasures of day to day life.

3. Gratitude as an Amplifier -- gratitude truly is a fast track t the present moment and makes you incredibly magnetic to more to be grateful for!

Take a listen.

If this is something you want to go deeper on, I invite you to join us inside The Heart Portal Digital Studio.

Breathwork has been one of the most powerful tools in my toolkit for meeting, and pushing past the edges that I’ve met on my journey. We meet for live online breathwork sessions 4x per month and can access hundreds of recorded session ranging from 90-seconds to 75 minutes inside the digital portal. 

If you are unsure if breathwork is for you, I have a free 5 day breathwork challenge to get your feet wet with the practice.

Friends, how are you as we turn the corner into September? 

As the month changes over inside The Heart portal digital studio we change our focus from the energetic theme of Your Edges to Expansion SZN. If you are like wtf are you talking about, each month inside the digital studio we explore an energetic theme, we stay with the theme for the duration of the month so we can deepen into it each week rather than hopping from topic to topic. I’ve decided to play with taking a similar approach to the podcast and see how it feels. 

September brings with it a new and amplified energy of excitement and activation. Like it’s time to assess how far we’ve come, recalibrate to where we are going and to start making moves in a big way. It’s like the party energy of August is over and now it’s time to get down to business. I almost look at September as an energetic new year. So, let’s explore expansion season and how we can harness the energy to supercharge our desires.

When you think about the word expansion, what do you think about? 

And, when it comes to expanding into your life what does that bring up? 

Let’s take a step back so we can take one forward. Last month we explored our edges, those sticky moments, actions and reactions that meet us on the edge of what we know, the borders of our comfort zone. The ‘resistance’ we face before we step into something, or make moves in our lives. In the last episode, I invited you to explore what sat beyond your edges, who you were without them, as you moved through them and beyond them. Truthfully, what’s on the other side of your edge is growth – a new path, a new way, a new level, a new perspective, a new life – an expanded version of who you once were and often a version of you that, until the moment you  moved beyond your edge, you never knew could exist.

• What are you being called to expand into in this next season of your life? 
• Where are you looking to experience the most growth? 
• Where are you looking to deepen your experience of fully expressing yourself? 
• Where are you looking to push the edges of possibility for yourself over the next 4 months?

If this is something you want to go deeper on, I invite you to join us inside The Heart Portal Digital Studio.

Breathwork has been one of the most powerful tools in my toolkit for meeting, and pushing past the edges that I’ve met on my journey. We meet for live online breathwork sessions 4x per month and can access hundreds of recorded session ranging from 90-seconds to 75 minutes inside the digital portal.

WHOA! This is a very special episode of THE HEART PORTAL Podcast. When I launched season 2 of the podcast I knew I would be really selective over the guests I had on. Thanks to the TikTok algorithm, I stumbled across Dana and KNEW I had to have her on the podcast. In last week's episode, I spoke briefly about my experience with burnout and what I think caused it. In this episode Dana and I get into both the science and the spirituality of what happens to our body when we are stressed or burned out and tangible ways to regulate your system. 

Dana tells a familiar story of how the conditioning she received from society and her family and how attaching her inherent value to working hard led her down the path of her own state of burn out.  She, like most of us, tried mindset work, traditional talk therapy and many other modalities to shift how she was feeling. It wasn't until she discovered spiritual psychology and opened herself up to new practices such as breathwork (yay!) and somatics, did she open up to a whole new way of being. 

Dana gives us a crash course in the nervous system. How our bodies (and minds) respond to stress and why, when we are dysregulated we see the entire world through a fear-based lens. She opens us up to what is possible when we move through the world in a state of regulation EVEN WHEN stressful events occur. 

She gives us practical and spiritual practices on what to do when we find ourselves in stressful situations, the role trauma plays on how our system responds to the situation(and how it can differ from someone else experiencing the exact same thing). We talk timeline jumping, epigenetics, manifestation and so much more. 

We close by talking about Somatics and why taking a body-first approach can be so potent in healing trauma, mitigating stress, improving performance and living a life fully as you are. 

This is one of the juiciest episodes I've done to date, you are NOT going to want to miss this!

You can find Dana on Instagram: @danddozzyy or on TikTok: @danddozzyy. If you are interested in working with Dana, check out her latest offerings here.

My loves, welcome back! If you follow me on social media you would have seen me offer you a heart opener. A heart opener is a question doesn't to open you up to coming more fully into your heart, to go deeper into yourself and shifting your perspective so that you can see through the eyes of your heart (and not your overthinking mind). Today's solo episode is around this heart opener: COULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT BURNOUT IS SIMPLY A SIGN THAT YOU ARE LIVING OUT OF ALIGNMENT? Breathe. that. in. 

Burnout is on the rise and we are currently living through a collective burnout. My invitation to you is to dig deep and see where you may be living out of alignment with your desires, with your core values or with who you are RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT. I share with you my own experience of burning out from my dream job, one that I set out to get 10 years ago. I got it. And, I left it in the height of the 2021 when the world was still riddled with uncertainty. 

For me, I was living out of alignment with what my heart truly desired. It was what I had wanted at one point in my life but I wasn't that person any more. So, if you are feeling burned out where might you be living out of alignment? It doesn't always mean you have to leave where you are or take big leaps but when you KNOW where you are out of alignment, you can start doing things to bring you back INTO alignment. 

I close with a reminder and one of my favourite quotes. Here's the thing.. there are no wrong turns or wrong decisions. Like Peter Crone says: "it couldn't have happened any other way, because it didn't". 

Next week on the podcast we dive deeper into burn out and nervous system regulation with a nervous system expert! You're going to want to stick around for this one.

In this solo episode of the podcast I jam on moving through fear. I'm not talking the fear that stops us for doing something life harming, I'm talking the fear that rears its ugly head just as we are about to take a bold step in the direction of our expansion, our becoming. The fear that keeps us from speaking up, speaking out, stepping up, stepping out, becoming our fullest expression and living a heart attuned life (hot tip: that's your purpose!). I'm talking the fear that keeps us hiding, keeps us small, keeps us playing safe. So, if you are are on the journey of your becoming (your highest self) and you hit a sticky point, where all the familiar resisting, distracting or self-sabotaging tendencies come up -- this episode is for you!

HERE'S THE HIGHLIGHT REEL OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:

• I talk about why this fear comes up, where it might have originated in the first place and WHY the path to our becoming will often lead us to the cave we fear the most. But, as the Joseph Campbell quote says: The cave we fear to enter holds the treasure we seek. 
• I talk about the misconception that fear has to go away completely for you to take action. We can be fearful AND we can still choose to move forward. Not either or. My invitation to you is that when fear takes over, you see fear for the scared child it is. What would you say to that child. 
• I share with you an activity I shared with THE HEART PORTAL members in our session this past weekend about writing your fear a love letter and letting it go. 
• I talk about love being the antidote to fear and how to seek love by connecting to the beauty that is in this present moment. 
• I also talk about one of the most common questions I see: How to tell the difference between when you are being guided by fear or your intuitive heart, your hearts wisdom. 
• I close with some advice on how to move through fear and where to seek community because we don't have to do this thing called life alone and trust me -- you are NOT alone in what you are experiencing. 

I also share a snippet of my experience in using breathwork to witness and move through some of the biggest fears that I've had.

In today's episode we go is inspired by the energetic lesson I taught in THE HEART PORTAL -- the digital breathwork studio which launched earlier this year. One of the core tenets of everything I teach both through Soulbody and through corporate wellness sessions is PRESENCE and, essentially this:  and one of  presence isn't optional, it's a requirement for where we are heading. Only from a place of presence can we open ourselves up to the vastness of possibility. 

I talk about what presence is -- tl;dr it's YOU in your BEING-NESS. It's your experience of experiencing the world. And in presence our experience just IS, it doesn't mean anything. Meaning-making comes when we view the present moment through the lens of the past or the future. 

I talk about the ways in which we avoid presence and why we do so -- often times we are so afraid of what we will meet in presence yet what we meet is exactly what we are seeking. I offer you to questions to help you see the beauty in and to anchor into the present moment. 

We chat about what presence is asking of you and what is on the other side of presence and I think you are going to want to hear this! We do a 30 second activity for presence where I invite you to simply meet what is here. 

If this episode resonated, please review and share it and, as always reach out on Instagram @soulbody.co to me with your questions or requests for future shows!

If you are ready to dive deeper into this work, I invite you to check out THE HEART PORTAL, where we use breathwork to access the wisdom of our energetic and intuitive hearts, where we untether ourselves from anything that has held us back from embodying that wisdom and where we open the door to big possibility...no small feat. We meet live 4x per month for breathwork sessions of various lengths and you have access to a whole digital portal of on-demand breathwork sessions and heart activations. 

Welcome back to this week's episode of THE HEART PORTAL. In this JUICY episode, I'm giving away my #1 piece of advice that I have told every single person I have coached, mentored, befriended and that I offer myself. Are you ready? Not gatekeeping here -- YOUR HEART KNOWS. I know, painstakingly simple. 

In this episode I give you real life examples of what it's like to be in one of those, what I like to call 'heady' moments where you are death gripping a decision, desperate for clarity or answers. The thing is babe, your heart knows. It always does. We talk about why listening to that truth from within can be so challenging: It can mean you have to take action that is uncomfortable, it can mean you don't trust your own truth or you might not WANT to hear that truth (yet). I also talk about the intricacy of deciphering between that truth and the ego trying to keep you small, safe, the same, fearful or in self-sabotage. We'll be doing a whole other episode on that!

I give you two of my FAVOURITE practices (30 seconds and under) for coming back into your heart when you are having a heady moment and how to begin developing that relationship with your heart's truth. Hot tip: it's going to take trusting and it will likely be challenging. But, also know that there are no 'wrong' decisions only decisions. 

So, my hope for you is if you take NOTHING else away from this episode: YOUR HEART KNOWS!

We're back loves! We've changed, we've healed, we've expanded, we're ready to go deep and we are ready to EXPAND! In this episode, I chat about what I've been up to, why I've been hiding from sharing my voice with you all and what you can expect in this NEW-ish space moving forward. We begin by taking an intentional and connecting breath together and boy does it feel good!

I talk a little bit about growing out of the old version of the podcast...what was called The Purpose + Possibility Podcast is now THE HEART PORTAL podcast. I talk about what THE HEART PORTAL is...hello, a gateway to the intuitive wisdom that sits in your heart, the infinite number of ways you can access that wisdom and WHY I use breathwork as the foundation of my own journey. 

I get real with you about the lessons I've learned as I've moved through the complexity of the last 6 months and that the root of my own 'suffering' is often when I'm not listing to or living from MY HEART. 

I also introduce you to THE HEART PORTAL - a new digital breathwork studio that I've opened up with LIVE and ON-DEMAND breathwork sessions, activations and exercises to bring you more fully into your heart and open you up to your next level expansion.

I've been feeling called to come to you with these types of episodes that I call HEARTSPEAK where I get on and do just that – let my heart speak.

In today's episode I had the pleasure of interviewing one of the most special people I have ever met. Cat Medeiros is the founder of Sallua Intuitive Graphic Design and  is the creative genius behind the branding of Soulbody. I have never come across anyone who perfectly blends their spiritual and intuitive gifts with their profession quite like Cat, and to be honest I feel like she is really on to something special. In a world where we are often taught to keep the two worlds separate and even to keep our spirituality closeted, Cat mingles them perfectly to tap into the energy of her clients and create beautiful and unique brand expressions.

We talk about her journey into both the design world, where she once felt like an oddball and like she had to silence her curiosity to lean more into the mechanics and structure of the work and the spiritual world. She shares the insights she received  while on a spiritual retreat on needing to marry her intuitive ability with her graphic design career.

We also dig into the idea that each business has its own energy, its own fire and heart beat, which only make sense if you listen to the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza and everything having an energy.

Here's a recap of our conversation:

• How Cat began the process of marrying her intuitive gifts with her profession as a graphic designer
• Learning to trust the voice within and how sometimes it's a matter of following the breadcrumbs vs it having to make logical, structural sense
• Connecting back to your uniqueness and your curiosity (THIS is where the magic is)
• Leaning into the work that scares us
• Importance of trusting your intuition when it comes to working with clients
• Business as energy and your business having its own unique vibe or fire
• Leaning into trusting the inkling and staying open and curious
• Ditching the traditional meaning of professional and letting it mean whatever you want.
