Focusing on the breath shifts us from brain to body.

We are spirits having a human experience. Welcome the highs and the lows, no vibration should be dismissed. What is the message in the ANGER or the ALERT? They need love. When we open the front door, everything can walk in, including SPIRIT. What happens then is miraculous. Highly sensitive artisan, counsellor, spiritual mentor, and intuitive healer, Linda Nardelli helps people 1 to 1 and in group therapy to become comfortable with the unknown, and with being seen. That is where healing and fulfilment happen. Trust oriented therapy facilitates what is trying to emerge from every woman. It is imperative to develop our desire and learn about the Woman’s Way … slower pace, pause, paying attention to the in-between, the art of observation, opening the door to being heard. Don’t expect our partner to give the love we are not giving to ourselves. Grow, heal, and learn to live from our heart.

| EP 253: Celebrity Event Producer, Lainie Strouse, shares Event Success Secrets | 18 May 2024 | 00:38:01 | |
Lainie Strouse learned that modelling success at age 13 was a happy introduction to financial success, but that it was also temporary. She learned to do everything she could with the best intentions, that there would be ups and downs, that you do what you can with what you’ve got. She learned flamenco dancing and serving tables. She learned problem solving, how to understand people, keep a calm head, keep ego out, and to make the best of every situation. These are skills one might need later! Now, as a celebrity event creator, she has learned to pause, listen, come from a respectful place, be adaptable & solution focused, and produce the dream result that her clients really want. Every client & every attendee is special. Do the best you can in every moment, don’t pretend to know everything, and ASK. Learning something is always good. Website: https://lainiestrouse.com/ | |||
| EP 252: Imposter Syndrome with UN Leadership Mentor Cathy Holt | 17 Apr 2024 | 00:31:18 | |
Did you know …? Men will apply for a job if they feel they know 40-50% of requirements, Women will wait until they know 90%, and they feel more pressure to show up. Education does not necessarily make a great leader/employee, but ALL experience teaches us how to be better. Women need to know that they have what it takes. The calling inside can override the circumstances and make a way. Be a continuous learner, communicate effectively, and structure your message as a win-win. Create alliances and a strong sense of community. Volunteer! A paid position has limitations (not in my job description) but being a leader in a volunteer position is exceptionally valuable, both for yourself and your community. Learn strong communication skills, value & respect humanity, be appreciative & generous in and out of corporate structure. Trust yourself and know that you have what it takes to lead, follow, be supportive … whatever your choice, or whatever necessary action is required from you.

| EP 251: Strategize Your Skills with UN Leadership Mentor Cathy Holt | 04 Apr 2024 | 00:25:53 | |
Women may not recognize that they are Change Agents. Leadership is a journey. It takes time, awareness, and evaluation of your environment to see that you are making changes. It is not about titles. It is about inspiring and influencing others to achieve a common goal. How can you be better? There are strategies to enhance your skills and define your path. #1 Know your values/passions. This is foundational, and will be discovered upon self reflection, calming your mind, and awakening to your inner leader. See a need that resonates/connects. Who can help you reach a goal? Who has the influence to get the change you want? What skills do you bring ... are you adaptable, innovative, problem-solver, gatherer ...? Listen to your network of friends that will support you in your mission and help you avoid burnout. Find out what is important to you, find other people with similar interests to join you, and lead.

| EP 250: UN Leadership Mentor Cathy Holt shares Why Women Make Great Leaders | 28 Mar 2024 | 00:22:39 | |
The belief that to be a leader, whether male or female, you must be born with innate traits is not true. If you are passionate and see a need for Change, you can be the Agent to make it happen. We all have leadership qualities and can also learn to be more effective. Women often are empathetic, collaborative, strong communicators, wear different hats, and consider different points of view. They are adaptable, resilient and tend to be more humble, authentic, and not as ego driven. These qualities all support the role of servant leader – someone who prioritizes the needs and well-being of those they are leading. Scientific research has also shown that women use both hemispheres of their brain when problem solving as compared to the single hemispheric activity evident with focused, linear, rational, problem-solving men. Take the time for self-reflection. Ask yourself what you are passionate about, or good at, and then speak to your truth and have your voice heard.

| EP 249: Film Director Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe shares about Being a Woman on Set | 21 Mar 2024 | 00:32:43 | |
Biracial model, actress, and self-proclaimed fear chaser, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe knows how to step out before the camera, and present in the industry of film. However, as the artistic, intelligent daughter of an English Professor, she knew she had more to say! Enter, Directing. Storytelling from behind the camera opened a whole new world of nuance, inspiration, the view from a female perspective, and the continued movement towards equality. How bad do you want it? You’re going to have to fight more than others. Death of ego is necessary to accept who you are or want to be, whether anyone acknowledges you or not. Don’t give up on yourself. Pull back and reset. Keep going. Shift Gears and do what it takes! It won’t matter who says ‘no’ now.

| EP 243: Title: Abundance of Peace with Barbara Frankson A House of Peace is the destination | 14 Feb 2024 | 00:25:02 | |
For Barbara Frankson, this is personal and the result of her journey from pain to purpose, but her story is universal too. Consider this: You are designed with a purpose & gifts, then life happens which leads to pain. You have two choices: Fear leading to paralysis or Faith leading to purpose. Recognize value in your life and look at everything as an opportunity not an obstacle. When you are walking in your purpose, with your body, mind, and spirit as one, there is peace … and enough to give everyone permission to be who they are becoming. It is about the importance of significance of your purpose and the impact it brings to the world for everyone, especially you.

Life is your stage; you need your SELF to be engaged. Nothing in the past is bad, it is all for a reason. Reframe from shame to courage. Dissolve fear, brave up and DO IT.

Her biggest supporter, her Mom, told her “if you can see it, you can do it”, powerful words which would sustain Butta through the challenges that lay ahead and catapult her into the success she now embodies. Her good friend, Les Brown, once told her that setbacks are really SET UPS for something greater. Her journey will amaze, exhilarate, and motivate you to always stay open to possibilities, go ALL IN, recognize that visions are blueprints … and what you can see, you can do.

It’s time to take the elevator, tap in, and listen to Straight Up Success coach, Kathleen Carlson, as she illuminates part 3 of The Success Trap, CLAIM. You cannot get to the claim level without first clarifying and clearing. This is where you get to claim, decide who you want to be and live in your space.

Take a step back, pause, allow time to return to a more neutralizing space. What if you could just know that you are something?! Top tip from Kathleen: don’t do it alone.

Intuitive guide Kathleen Carlson returns with Part 2 of The Success Trap, CLEAR. Straight up, when we get clear, life gets more joyous. Things either fit, or they don’t.

| EP 223: The Success Trap Part I with Kathleen Carlson | 01 Sep 2023 | 00:27:21 | |
One fateful day, Kathleen Carlson’s 30 years in corporate led her to a crisis of self, emotionally and physically. It was time for her to CLARIFY her heart & soul … what did she want in ALL areas of her life? This, she explains is the first step in exposing the success trap, and gently changing the conversation. The plight of a woman, to care for everyone ELSE, shifted. Ask yourself ‘What are YOU getting out of this’ … and, instead of solving world problems, just imagine. State what you want. Look at your relationships, no one is a throwaway, but you don’t have to be everyone’s hero. Are your traditions a joy or a burden? Stand up and take responsibility, have the guts to be true to yourself, and piece by piece you will find YOU.

| EP 221: Capturing the Moments with Dee Lippingwell | 23 Aug 2023 | 00:38:20 | |
It all started in the 1970’s with Dee Lippingwell’s LOVE of Pink Floyd and her desire to photographically record their concert for her own personal enjoyment. Turns out she had a knack for capturing that “je ne sais quoi” that every artist wants to portray, and every club owner wants to sell. She went on to shoot practically every Rock and Roll legend from the 70’s to the millennium using the required “first 3 songs and no flash” stipulation. Despite the excellence of her work, she was still a female photographer in a male dominated world. She had to get creative to help navigate the thin times, and her resourcefulness and sheer skill carried her to the top of her profession. She shares the thrill of seeing images emerge in her dark room … the music she had felt inside transcended to a photograph … as well as a few stories from the other side of the curtain. This show is a must watch, and Dee is a national treasure to be acknowledged and enjoyed!

| EP 218: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Dr. Paula Gordon, MD | 20 Jul 2023 | 00:45:39 | |
The early use of supplemental screening for women with dense breasts cannot be overstated. It is paramount for early detection of breast cancer in these women, which in turn is key to survival. Dr. Paula Gordon, recipient of the Order of Canada, and one of the greatest Canadian specialists in breast cancer detection and diagnosis, is a powerful voice in this arena. You need to hear what she has to say. First, women need to know if they have dense breasts! Second, early diagnosis can lessen aggressive therapy or even eliminate the need for some treatments. However, it may surprise you that, not only are women not told their breast density, but secondary screening is also not as accessible as you might think. Change is necessary, and your voice can make a difference. Every woman should have the choice to self advocate for access to early screening modalities. It is a matter of LIFE.

Michelle Jewsbury and Pearl Chiarenza of Unsilenced Voices share personal stories and life-saving tips for your spirit, soul, and body … you will want to take notes! Self-care is not selfish.
