What happens when you mess up in life? I had a big boo-boo and had a choice to try to still make things 'perfect' or something completely outside of the box.

I went with the latter and today's episode is not the typical one.
I AM my guest for the week and also recording while super sick. It turned into an incredibly deep episode where I share about a recent personal and HUGE meltdown (which included many tears).

Tune in if you want to move beyond self-sabotage, guilt, shame and regret. You ARE worthy, Beautiful.

Oh FUDGE. You know 'those' days. The ones where one thing after another keeps going wrong?! Yes, I was in one of those and it could have gone down the usual spiral of everything falling apart, fight with hubby, and an overall poo day.

Instead, I share what happened this time around and how I chose to let them be circumstances...instead of my entire day. And how I protect my energy and move past the TOUGHEST situations by asking myself 2 very powerful questions...

Did you know there is an Erotic Blueprint and 5 erotic types? I definitely didn't and learned about a lot on this episode with Joyce Oladipo, Love and Relationship Coach. Joyce doesn't hold back as she shares the story of her years struggling with Vaginismus to experiencing deep, connected pleasure with her husband.

Wherever you may be in your intimacy journey with your partner, this episode will take it to the next level. I'm still processing the possibilities!

So inspired by Beyonce's new Netflix documentary, Homecoming, that I had to do an entire episode about being a Fan!

You know those pre-award shows in the Celebrity Lounge showing those fab gift bags filled with the top products from Chanel to Apple to DIAMOND Jewelry...

Well meet the woman behind this phenomenon. Starting from an inspired idea and a some moxie, Jaimsyne Blakely created an entire industry that never existed! She takes us behind the scenes on how the idea of Celebrity Lounges + Gift Bags was born and what it turned into. And it goes much deeper than the physical products.

Also, let me say that when you have a guest who's talking about Oprah, Rosie, and Madonna on a first name basis...you don't want to miss what she has to say. This special episode is filled with luxury, heart and inspiration - all in one!

Have you ever wondered why Muslims think the way they do? Do the things they do? Like wearing a scarf on their head. Or being in the news all the time for 'bad stuff.' Or who Allah is?

I get honest as a hijab-wearing Muslim woman who has a strong faith and yet takes caution with organized religion.

How my faith is greater than any human's interpretation (or misinterpretation of a religion). And what it feels like to have your faith hijacked by a group of extremists...and getting to take ownership back again.

I need a whole Part 2 to this episode since I feel like it barely scratched the surface! Would love your candid questions for a follow-up episode - send them to https://www.thelifeengineer.com/contact.html.

In true Feminine form, Jessica shares the secrets of the answers within you already and how to harness them!

What do you recommend I use for my skin? I cringe when I hear friends ask each other this! Why, you ask?! Because I believe in going to the expert for any and all questions you have.

Your skin type is uniquely yours and so getting a customized plan for your skin will be a game changer! Plus in my case, my dermatologist helped me with a VERY embarrassing skin issue (details in the episode!).

I share my entire skincare routine, favorite products and how I keep my skin flawless. It's inexpensive and the best treat you can give to yourself!

Can't say the more here but let's just say it's juicy!

Forget confidence...I called myself Fugly as in F'in Ugly. While I thought it was funny and I would laugh, it really wasn't and it ended up affecting my major life decisions and the trajectory I went on.

The good news is that I believe I'm beautiful now and have people (including strangers) telling me so too! I even got asked out on a date this past week! <-- I did politely say no since I'm married but a girl can't help but be flattered!
​
Truth is, it's not that I look ANY different but I FEEL different...and so does everyone who sees me! Listen in for tips on how to regain your confidence and shift the way you feel (and look!) inside and out!

Denise Duffield-Thomas, the Money Mindset Mentor, unpacks what's holding you back from full abundance. It has NOTHING to do with cash flow and is completely FREE!

Denise's expertise (and great sense of humor!) taught me how to make more money than ever AND treat myself like a VIP because I am worthy.

It's your turn to be a wealthy woman and join the tribe of Lucky Bees who are changing the world! As Denise says -- "It's your time and you're ready for the next step!"

"I'M SOOOOO BUSY" <-- How often do you say this feeling overwhelmed, under pressure and like nothing is getting done?

Are you waiting for a major milestone to have a fresh start? A new year, when the big project is done, when the perfect person comes in your life...or when all the stars align and the angels sing 'Ahhhhhh'? Whatever you're waiting for, there's NO waiting for a fresh start. It can happen in the next moment - literally.

It's TIME to BREATHE again, in a way that expands your life and time. Time is directly correlated to energy and not the hours in the day.
I'm getting very INTIMATE with you in this episode so don't be too busy to listen in -- this one's a game-changer!

Don't listen to this episode unless you want to laugh and leave others wondering how they can get some of that ish too!

Oooh la la, today's guest is a treat! Jill Stanton started the 'Screw the Nine to Five' movement that took the online community by storm! Living her own life of travel, freedom and ease, Jill (and her husband, Josh) created an empire teaching others how they could screw the 9-5 too.

Jill shares, behind the scenes, what really contributes to her success and fulfillment -- including completing transforming her business and keeping things EASE-y.

"Who am I to do this? It's too late to start. Am I good enough?" These are the questions I grappled with as I was struggling to find fulfillment. After a year of hosting this podcast, Feminine & Fulfilled, I am sharing my reflections in our 50th episode!!! Fulfillment has gone from being something I'm 'doing' to being 'me.' Showing up as myself and EXACTLY who I am. No more and no less and this is permission for you to do the same.

Don't wait to be ready to live your purpose...you will be supported once you begin. And trust me Beautiful, it's beautiful. 🙂

Is Vanderpump Rules the greatest show of all time? Does Gwenyth Paltrow make you gag? Do you even care about these things? Apparently, Laura Belgray does and we had a fun conversation about all things irrelevant...yet SO relevant. An award-winning copywriter who writes TV spots for clients like NBC, Fandango, and Bravo, Laura took us behind the scenes of how she gets paid to do what she loves. Her recent top article in Money.com about how to follow-up with someone important and the template to follow is what I used to land her on Feminine & Fulfilled! This conversation is filled with laughter and fun and the best reminder that life isn't meant to be SO serious. Enjoy!

This is the story so many of us can relate to and yet it can leave you feeling blah and like your talents and potential are wasting away.
