The post 046 There’s No Palace like Home – The Home Palace appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

“Be inspired and then be inspiring!”

• The difference between being wealthy and prosperous
• Why Prosperity is about having MORE than enough
• How you can be prosperous with money, time, energy, love, and more!
• If your Prosperity Palace is not doing well, take a hard look at your other Palaces
• How it would feel to give away half of what you have
• How judgement can get in the way of our Prosperity: Giving without strings attached and the problem with giving without a heart connection
• Homework: Do you have enough money to pay your own bills? When is the last time you were debt free? Are you going on vacations or having any fun? When was the last time you had thoughts about sharing your resources with others? When was the last time you received something your didn’t expect with no strings attached?

Leta: “I was thinking about Billionaires these days. Many people just aren’t comfortable with making that much money.”

Jaye: “Yeah well I’d like to feel uncomfortable like that someday!”

“When all beings are at your disposal, we speak of knowing how.”

Jaye: “If you don’t have the Prosperity Palace rocking or chugging along at some level, I really see a lot of the other Palaces that are struggling. Because you’re almost in a survival mode, you’re not in a giving mode. Your heart is not open. That’s why it’s the Fire Palace; it’s the heart. I think that it’s a really good way to get all of your Palaces going if you can look at the Prosperity Palace.”

The post 044 Are You a Smarty Pants or a Wise-Asp? – The Wisdom Palace appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

“It’s about making something from ourselves that we end up loving even more than ourselves because we created it… Those are our children, which can be our creative children.”

• How this palace ties in with “The Zone,” or Wu Wei. The power of creative force…
• Why this is often the first Palace to get “the boot”
• The connection between the Metal Element and your legacy

• How to give yourself permission to be creative
• Why adoption can also fulfill your creativity
• Being honest with your partner about wanting or not wanting children
• Homework: Take 15-20 minutes and do something creative. If you can’t think of something, think of things you used to like to do. Start doing what you used to love to do. Dust something off and pick it up, or start something new! Take time to play with your children.

Jaye: “Let’s go back to creativity and making babies! Bom chicka bow wooooowww.”

Jaye: “Look at Australia and New Zealand. Those Hobbits are really kicking it”

Leta: “I don’t think it’s just Hobbits that live there…”

Jaye: “Well you’re right there are Wizards too!”

The post 043 Find Time to Play… with Yourself – The Creativity Palace appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

The goal of this meditation is to ask your higher self what you really want. Traditionally alchemists went on retreat to ask this question. Today, your meditation is your little retreat away from the demands of life. Putting aside your family, your boss and coworkers, your parents, children, or friends needs, what does your heart really want?

Are you traveling or are you virtually traveling through social media, TV, or your computer? Do you want to travel more in your life? Do you have any adventure in your day-to-day life. It’s time to break your habitual tendencies and your adventure on! The Travel/Global/Adventure Palace is #6 of the Nine Palaces.

“Not all those who wander are lost.”

--J.R.R. Tolkien

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, TikTok, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• The Number 42 and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
• Boredom is not good. We need to jump into life.
• Challenge your habitual way of living.
• More and more people are fulfilling their travel palace through Instagram and TV. They’re not getting their butts off the couch.
• It’s a mindset. You can do an adventure at the grocery store.
• We’re all travelers. We are borrowing time. We’re visiting for a number of years and going back from whence we came from.
• Metal magic carpet ride.
• When we die, we get to go back home. This life is our trip.
• E.T. Phone home. Wizard of Oz… there’s no place like home. Click!
• Wood is in perpetual entrance. Every moment of every day is birth.
• Metal is thinking about death… going back from whence we came.
• Harold from Harold and Maude was trying to find Home with a capital H.
• Global Palace – traveling to another country was very rare in ancient times. It was about getting out of your little village to learn that we’re different but we all have similarities.
• If your Wealth Palace is limiting your Travel Palace, you can have adventures without needing money.
• Homework — Do something different every day. Something you don’t normally do. Do you feel free to travel? What’s holding you back? Do you feel stuck in a rut? Do you have a Global perspective on life? Make new friends… stretch yourself culturally. What would a sense of adventure in your life feel like?

Thought Quotes:

“Travel takes you out of routine and invites you to try new things. The secret to staying young is to not live habitually.”

“Young people are spontaneous and exploring all sorts of things. As we age, we shut down to the newness.”

“We’re all travelers. We are borrowing time. We’re visiting for a number of years and going back from whence we came from.”

The post 042 We Are All On a Journey Together – The Travel Palace appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

The intention of this meditation is to begin your Alchemy journey and enter the Mystery Gate. To begin Alchemy, you must be willing to enter the dark gate...like parting the veil of mystery. You do not know what lies behind this dark gate, but you are willing to put yourself first and brave the darkness and the unknown...knowing that there will be light at the end of the tunnel, and you will discover what lies behind the gate.

Become limitless. Wealth is a mindset of abundance. The Wealth Palace (also called the Abundance palace) can affect all the palaces. How many decisions a day do you make based on money? Does your happiness depend on how much money you have? Whether you’re rich or poor or somewhere in between, the Wealth Palace is a game of mental tug of war. What is your mindset? Stop being handcuffed by money—with either lacking or scarcity feelings–and start to find limitless resources! Wealth can also be about other resources, not just money.

“It’s not just about making money, it’s a mindset of abundance. Opening doors, breaking down obstacles. It’s a mindset of yes please!”

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, TikTok, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• The mindset of “yes please!” Being open to abundance
• The obstacles we create to prevent us from true wealth
• Fears about money can creep into your other palaces
• How important the Wood virtue of Benevolence is to prosper in the this palace
• The 10 Million Dollar Question
• Why we have jobs instead of passionate careers 
• Why the rich and poor can BOTH have Wealth Palace challenges
• Why Waters need to be especially vigilant about over protecting resources and getting into scarcity mode
• Wealth Affirmations! 
• Homework: Do you have enough money right now? When is enough, enough? Do you make all your decisions everyday based on money? How many decisions?

Thought Quotes:

“Money trickles and sometimes it flows, and sometimes it’s like a tsunami. It’s a consciousness.”

“I see a penny and I pick it up because I just added to my Wealth Palace…”

Are you getting what you need in the sleep department? Are you struggling with daily bad sleep habits? Listen as we talk more about the 9 Palaces, the Health Palace, and how Sleep is important to your overall health. Health hacks and movement of Qi as well as one helpful “cheat” if you can’t get enough exercise. 

“Sleep is a time of letting go of your resistance… When you go to bed at night… you are releasing resistance and that means you get to reset your body. That reset is so essential to your overall health.“

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, TikTok, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• Sleep is a critical aspect of your Health Palace
• Strategies for better sleep:
  • Daily meditation
  • Turning off your electronics 1-2 hour before bed
  • Reading an old-school physical book
  • Making rules and boundaries around your nightly routine
  • Blocking the light in your space (covering electronic lights and black-out curtains)
  • Getting the right sleeping temperature
  • Sleeping gear that can help (especially if you’re Wood!)
  • Pericardium 8 Acu-point on your palm to help sleep
• Why Exercise is important for your Health Palace (especially for the Woods and Waters)
  • Not exercising can cause Qi Stagnation
  • Exercise can clear stuck/toxic emotions
  • The Massage “cheat”

Thought Quotes:

“If you’re not sleeping well, you should definitely try meditation because you can get the same effects while your body is in that meditation state. Like the sleep state, you are rejuvenating… That’s why we can heal. We regenerate.”

“The body is so amazing. I always say: ‘My body knows how to do it right.'”

“I have the smart phone addiction like everyone else, and the only way I can force myself to not continuously check it by my bed is I made a little bed for it over in the other room, and I tuck it in at night, and then I go to bed.”

Is your Health important to you? Why do you do things to yourself that are not always healthy? Do you even want to live a healthy life? What is Clean Eating, and how can you do it more? Can you choose to make changes? Why the Health Palace really matters?

• The Water Element is about doubt and fear or Trust with a capital “T”
• Simple strategies… what are the healthy options?
• When you cook yourself, you get to pick your own ingredients. Cooking with clean ingredients…

• Identifying your food allergies.
• Doing research about a lot of different foods.
• Eating nutrient dense food and counting your macros.

The post 038 What the Health is Still Going On? (Part 2) appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

“Laughter is the best medicine. Life doesn’t have to always be serious. “

• Health is the domino palace — if your Health goes down all of your palaces start to fall
• Change your identity, combat the Lizard Brain. Jim Fortin’s approach.
• Floating downstream – Release Rebellious Qi meditation (see Inspired Action App for free download). The acu-point for Rebellious Qi is called “Not At Ease” (Stomach 19).
• Doable strategies for change, not stressful strategies
• HOMEWORK:
  • Say mantra to yourself, “I’m in perfect health” and manifest perfect health. It’s not a prayer, it’s not a wish, it’s an affirmation: “I am in perfect health.”
  • What do you resonate with? What are you in alignment with?
  • Take a look at your overall healthy choices. Are you eating the way you want to eat or are you waiting for that perfect world for Oprah’s personal chef to knock on your door? Are you drinking enough water? Are you sleeping well? What do you really want do to nourish your body? Are you thriving or surviving?

“People are either super obsessed with Health or they don’t think about it at all. And they take it for granted. Which is sometimes the better way to be. Because if you’re not thinking about it at all then that means you’re in good health”

“Carpal tunnel was created by the universe to kick people out of jobs that they hate in the first place. They hate their job therefore their body kind of goes rogue.”

“Now that it’s February it’s a good time to have one of these real conversations with yourself about what’s really achievable and an easy path to change.”

“Modern science is full of conflicting ideas and we’re terrified of doing something wrong.”

The post 037 What the Health is Going On? appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

Love is in the air… are you feeling it? Learn about the Who, the What, and the Why in the Relationship palace. How does your Element affect your Relationship Palace in the Nine Palaces? Are you getting what you need in the Love Department? Are you a giver or a taker? The Five Elements and how they relate to your relationships. The only person you can change is yourself.

“If you’re married to a zebra, don’t ask them to become a leopard. Learn to love the stripes.”

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook and Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• How the Five Elements relate to each other:
  • Same/Same Relationships: Wood/Wood, Fire/Fire, Earth/Earth, Metal/Metal, Water/Water
  • Nourishing Relationships: Wood/Fire, Fire/Earth, Earth/Metal, Metal/Water, Water/Wood
  • Control Relationships: Earth/Water, Water/Fire, Fire/Metal, Metal/Wood, Wood/Earth

Thought Quotes:

“One of you is more like a child. And the other of you plays more of a parental role. When the parent gets sick… the child totally freaks out. It doesn’t make sense. They’re not getting what they normally get.”

“These are the opposite attract relationships… they’re spicy, they’re hot! It’s very whoooo, exciting.”

“The only way they can take back control is through the insulting cycle… by insulting them. They bicker over every little thing… they’re having a control fight all the time.”

“Once you understand the energy dynamics and accept the fact that this is natural, this is life’s energy working in your relationship. Once you bring consciousness to that… you go, ‘Oh, I’m being insulting and mean to the person I love because I’m not getting what I need to explain to them across to them.’ And if the other person realizes that’s happening, they can work consciously to be a better communicator. These dynamics are present in every relationship.”

Do you want an extraordinary relationship? It’s all about loving yourself first. Better relationships start HERE.

“This is all about you. All capitals… Y-O-U!“

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• Relationship with yourself – loving yourself

• Having a partner – romantic relationships. Are you happy in that relationship? Are you thriving or just surviving?
  • Yes, I’m happy.
  • Questioning it the whole time
  • Shouldn’t be in my relationship but stay for the kids, money, etc.

• Looking for love: Manifest the person you really want. What Element do you want?
• Ho’opononpono – Advanced Forgiveness: Say this in your mind while thinking about your partner…
  • I’m sorry
  • Please forgive me
  • Thank you
  • I love you
• Phlegm – eating sugar allows you to stay in a difficult situation/relationship
• Homework:
  • Make a list of the things you want to be different in your relationship in a positive statement.
  • What’s your intimacy level?
  • How is your communication?
  • What’s your acceptance of each other’s foibles?

Thought Quotes:

“If you’re not in a good place with yourself, it’s not going to go very well with someone else.”

“The number one thing that needs to happen is both people need to want to change, to make it work. If one is unwilling to change, it’s not going to work.”

“If you’re not the most exciting thing in your own life, that’s got to be looked at.”

“Once your spirit makes that decision not to stay, and you’re balling your eyes out, the decision is made. You can’t stay.”

The post 035 LOVE | Want It, Find It, Keep It! appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

“Fun is such a dirty word. What are you doing for fun? When did the F-word become Fun?”

• 8 Palaces and the 9th is Home. You want to get home.
• Deep dive into the 9 Palaces – Career, Relationship, Health, Wealth, Home, Travel/Adventure, Creativity/Children, Wisdom, Prosperity
• The Magic Square and the Nine Palaces
• Career is a Water Element palace — Waters sometimes obsessively acquire skills.
• Job is what you do for money. Career is what you’re passionate about.
• 20-somethings getting jobs they don’t like. They just want to get out of their parents’ house.
• Write down 10 things you love about your job. Loving something before you move on.
• Up In the Air, George Clooney, the Axe man
• Our identities are linked to our careers
• When’s the last time you had fun?
• Shifting your identity — think, act, eat like that person
• Even if you love your job, reevaluate. Are you growing?
• Homework:
  • What is your job.
  • Do you love it or hate it?
  • Are you authentic at work?
  • How many hours a day do you spend on work (include dressing for work, driving back and forth).

“If you were just honest with yourself that you don’t like that career and you took the steps to make a real change, not just a lateral movement to another job you hate, but a real change, you can discover what you love to do.“

“What part of your identity do you have to change everyday to fit into this job?”

“Jobs are for money. Careers are for passion or fun or fulfillment The ideal situation is if you have a job that turns into a career that you get paid for.”

“You better love your job because you’re giving away half your life! Probably more. More than half your life to something you love or don’t love.”

The post 034 Nine Palaces – Career Palace | Love It or Leave It? appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

“I truly feel that Inspired Action and positive action are more powerful than words. You can use positive thinking all day long, but until you get some positive action, things are not going to change.”

• DIY Life Strategy
  • Step 1: Honesty – the buck stops here. No more excuses.
    • If you could fix yourself what would you change?
    • How many decisions do you make every day based on money?
    • Where is your career? Do you have a job or a career.
    • Relationship — do you have one or want one?
    • Health–how’s you health? Do you want to lose weight, get in shape, or start a new routine?
  • Accountability–Am I accountable for the actions or I’m doing or not doing? Where are your January resolutions come February or March?
    • Non-judgmental-ness–it’s not going to matter if I eat that one cheeseburger. I’ll go to the gym later. It’s a slippery slope.
    • Get an Accountability partner
  • Homework:
    • Imagine you’re your own coach or work with a friend.
    • Pick one or two areas really important to you: career, health, wealth, relationship, or creativity.
    • Write three things where you are B.S.-ing yourself… e.g. something you’re not doing but you really want to do.
    • Ask why you want to do it (or stop doing it). You need a compelling reason to shift your perspective and change your identity. Take away the obstacles and make a daily action plan.
    • How to become a Marathon runner.

“It’s amazing how people fudge their own stories about themselves.“

“Where is your career? Do you have a job or a career. The difference is: Do you have a job that you do just for money or do you have a career you love to do and, oh by the way, bonus! You get paid for it. Is that career your passion?”

“You need a compelling reason to shift your perspective and change your identity.”

• What is an Alchemical life strategist?

• Happiness–what level of happiness are you?

The post 031 Let’s Go to The Ghost Market! | What is Your Superpower? appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

This free meditation for releasing rebellious qi goes with Pod 10.

Join us for this blazing episode that will reveal the secrets of Fires (which are not so secret because they love to talk about themselves)! We'll be exploring the magnetic pull that Fires have towards beauty and love, their insatiable drive to be liked and accepted, and the sometimes tricky terrain of people-pleasing. We'll also be dousing the flames of their self-doubt and navigating the choppy waters of their sometimes negative self-perception. Most importantly, we'll talk about Fire authenticity and their open-hearted way of being the love in the world. ❤️ 🔥✨

**The Fire Element Unleashed** - Diving into the vibrant world of Fire - exploring their need for emotional connection, their desire to feel truly alive, and the inherent link between fire and authentic self-expression.

**A Spark of Shyness** - Uncovering a surprising trait in Fire – shyness, and the underlining quest for emotional safety that it masks.

**Turning Up The Heat On Vulnerability** - An honest heart-to-heart about vulnerability, how it influences Fire behavior and self-perception

**Beauty In The Fire** - Fire’s struggle with physical beauty and attractiveness, and their incessant efforts to always look their best (or not)

**The Dance Of Fire Relationships** - The fiery, passionate world of Fire relationships, their preferences for flirtation, innuendos, and playful teasing

**Mastering The Social Flames** - The secret sauce behind Fire social dynamics - people-pleasing tendencies and struggle with passive-aggressiveness

**Sexuality - The Hidden Ember In The Fire** - The pivotal role of sex and intimacy in the passionate world of Fire - how it contributes to their longing for connection

**Fires In The Limelight - Professional Brilliance** - Fires shine in people-centric industries, with their conversational prowess and intrinsic people skills

**Hugs And Hope** - Fires loving themselves authentically, and embracing their unique characteristics

The post 028 Listen to What Leta Loves to Do appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

  • Body types – Yang types are thinner and bonier; Yin types are a bit fleshier and rounder

  • Wood
    • Gall Bladder/yang – makes the todo lists and delegates the plans 
    • Liver/yin – stores big plans and vision
  • Earth
    • Stomach/yang – hardworking, digesting thoughts and analyzing
    • Spleen/yin – present and listening, philosophical, storing big ideas
  • Metal

    • Lungs/yin – holds awareness and being of service
  • Water
    • Bladder/yang – active fast waters, constant motion

The post 027 What’s Your Five Element Double Stuff? appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

• The Talk – “Talking is just another way that elemental vibration is manifesting through humanity. Think about the difference between between an assertive, commanding voice like an army sergeant directing a squad to do something vs. a hospice nurse asking a patient to move her legs. You simply cannot use the same voice for both of those situations. You have to modulate your voice accordingly, and that would tap into the Five Elements. You just tap into that element.”

• The Eyes
  • Wood – Direct laser beam eyes
  • Fire – Flirty eyes
  • Earth – Big round eyes that envelop you, softer look
  • Metal – Defocused eyes, x-ray vision
  • Water – Cat-slit suspicious eyes or intense big eyes
• The Smells – If you want to figure out someone’s smell, just walk into their bedroom and take a big sniff. Smells have energy. The Wood and Water smells are higher, and the Fire and Earth smells are in the middle like around your head. The metal smell is low, like down by the floor.

The post 026 See, Say, and Smell the Five Elements! appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

• The Walks –
  • Wood – “You don’t really have hips or knees. It looks like you’re marching in a formation. Maybe we will make it cuter. Think of penguins marching. Think of an army of a thousand penguins marching with combat boots. Now that’s a visual you won’t get anywhere else because penguins like big shoes. And Woods like big shoes.”
  • Fire – “You can fake a fire walk by lifting your heels up. If you do it more like helium is lifting you up from the top, then it will look like a real fire walk. In fact, your butt should wiggle a little bit. We call it the butt wiggle, just from the motion of the bounce.”
  • Earth – “I want you stick out your buddha belly. I want you to rub that belly, really lovingly, daringly feel how you feel when you put all that energy there. You want to relax, you want to slow down, you want to be grounded… In fact, you know what? Take off your shoes… Earth people love to be barefoot.”
  • Metal – “Imagine a string tied to the top of your head, and its holding your head up, and you’re dangling from the string like a puppet… Let your hands and your arms feel floppy and loose. Think of Pinocchio on a string, kind of dangling. Lift your head and your nose, like you’re a little snooty Pinocchio, and then you try to start to walk, but fluidly, not like its your first day on puppet strings.”
  • Water – “Imagine tons of energy in your lower back. Feel it in your kidneys. Imagine you have two Harley Davidson engines in your low back, revving. Vroom vroom, and push your hips forward. Your feet just barely leave the ground. Waters don’t scuff their feet, unless they’re wearing Uggs, let’s remember the Uggs days when it was really hard to tell Waters. We had to make them take off their Uggs.”

The post 020 The Mystery of Meditation | You can do it! appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

Are you just coasting in your life? Just going to work, coming home, eating food, watching TV and going to bed... Rinse and Repeat? Or... Are you COASTING and living the life you truly want where everything just lands in your lap? Easy. Stage One of Alchemy is about Creating Ease in your life. Stage Two of Alchemy is all about Letting Go of the baggage in your life. When you're inspired to make these changes in your life, things will shift.

• What we’ve done so far in the podcast
• Creating an energetic road map

• Transition from Stage 1 to Stage 2… When life feels easy, and you’ve given up the need to fight… it’s time to move onto Stage 2.
• If you’re still doing Stage 1, keep listening for motivation, so you can remember where you’re headed and there’s no rush
• Stage 2 is about dumping your bag of heart pains… letting them go.
• Not all elemental types can do traditional sitting meditation
• Your whole life could be good. The Life is Good the T-Shirt company is an Alchemical Company.
• Homework: no complaining for one hour. If you’re already doing that, let’s go for one day of no complaining, and when you master that, go for one week of no complaining. Observe those around you and see if they are complainers or supporters.

• • The Nine Stages of Alchemy – take you on a journey of self-cultivation with the goal of helping you truly fly in your life and live your full potential
  • Connecting Your Circle
  • The Energy of Love
  • Visit InspiredActionPodcast.com for show notes.
  • Dao De Jing, by Lao Tzu, “Whether you read it or not, it should just be on your nightstand at least!” A great way to understand this book is by reading: Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao. Also available with our sponsor Audible and comes with a free trial here.
  • Iliza Elder Millennial
  • Abraham – flowing downstream. Abraham speaks to us through Esther Hicks.
  • Jon Gabriel – weight isn’t necessary for protection
  • Post a photo of your nightstand’s books to our Facebook group.
  • If you’re not sure what element you area, write us, go on the Facebook group or send us a video of you walking (or your loved one). Have them walk slow and fast. If you’re shy, you can DM us through facebook or instagram, but if you don’t mind, we’d all appreciate you posting the video to the facebook group! We can all learn.

Are you a Perpetual People Pleaser? Do you constantly fear getting your heart hurt? Are heart-to-heart connections what it’s all about for you? Can you see past your faults and only see the good in yourself? Is your heart open to those around you and to your self? Yes, to any of these could be a sign that you have the Fire Element (in the Five Elements) in your energetic make up.  By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook and Instagram “But enough about me. What about you? What do YOU think of me?” — CC Bloom, from the movie, Beaches In our conversation this episode, we talked about:

• The number 13 and disillusionment – Daoist concept.
• The Matrix movie’s “fake” life, sci-fi reference.

Do you have what it takes to play on the A-Team? Do you like to fly under the radar in your life? Are you the cheering section or big motivator in your circle of friends and family?  Yes, to any of these could be a sign that you have the Wood Element (in the Five Elements) in your energetic make up. By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook and Instagram Have you mastered the Art of War as the Art of Peace? “What’s the point if it’s not challenging?”  In our conversation this week we talk about:

• Wood likes to sometimes fly under the radar – avoiding attention
• Wood is strategic – like the General of the Armed Forces of ancient times
• Wood needs to be engaged and not bored on a daily basis

• The “Do What I Want Now” voice
• Dreaming big — the bigger the better
• Holding the big vision

Thought Quotes: “Wood loves good competition, likable and friendly. It’s about strategizing, motivating, outthinking, out maneuvering anyone. It’s in a nice way. Definitely not a seek and destroy or by any means necessary way. It’s civilized, polite, and nice… (ish).” “Thinking outside the box — we’ll create a whole new box if we have to.”

“Wood loves to be advocates for anyone who can’t help themselves. Animals or people.”

“It’s all time management. If I value time, and it’s either an hour standing in line or an hour going back to what I was doing, I’ll pick the most efficient, quickest way possible… but in a nice way.” Links in this Episode:

• The Nine Stages of Alchemy – take you on a journey of self-cultivation with the goal of helping you truly fly in your life and live your full potential
