Embracing Change: Unleash Authenticity & Redefine Living with Asha Rani

12/5/2023
In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I had the pleasure of hosting Asha, a periodontist and dentist by profession, who is currently on a journey of self-discovery and finding her voice. Our conversation revolved around the importance of letting go of societal expectations and following one's heart. The Journey of Self-Discovery Asha's journey of self-discovery is a testament to the power of introspection and personal growth. She emphasized the importance of letting go of preconceived notions of what the future should look like, and instead, focusing on the present. She advised listeners to follow their hearts first and then let their brains guide them in the right direction. Asha is currently in a space of self-discovery and finding her voice, particularly in discussing topics that are often not talked about, especially among women. She highlighted the tendency to define ourselves by our professions and encouraged listeners to explore who they are beyond their careers. Seeking Help and Healing Asha's journey wasn't without its challenges. She realized that she needed help and reached out to trusted friends, therapists, and spiritual teachers. She talked about the process of healing her inner child and detaching from societal conditioning and expectations. One of the major life changes she made was ending a long-term relationship. She emphasized the importance of giving oneself permission to grow and evolve, even when it means making difficult decisions. Embracing Authenticity and Facing Fear Asha discussed the fear and uncertainty she faced when making the decision to change her relationship and the impact it had on her life. She emphasized the importance of authenticity and surrendering to the unknown. She also talked about the fear of judgment and the guilt she felt as a mother, but ultimately realized that her own happiness was important. She shared how letting go of fear opened up new opportunities and brought her closer to people who were aligned with her true self. The Power of Vulnerability and Self-Love Asha acknowledged that not everyone understood her choices, including some close friends, but she learned to prioritize self-love and accept that not everyone will be on the same journey. She also highlighted the power of vulnerability and the healing it brings, especially when sharing personal experiences on a public platform. Breaking Cultural Stigmas As someone from an Indian background, Asha acknowledged the cultural challenges and stigma surrounding divorce but emphasized that personal growth and happiness should be prioritized. She discussed the challenges of divorce within the Indian community and the shame and stigma associated with it. Despite her fear of how her parents and the community would react to her decision, she decided to break the silence and share her story through writing a book and speaking publicly about her experiences. Final Thoughts In response to my final question, Asha advised listeners to let go of expectations and be present. This conversation with Asia was a powerful reminder of the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and the courage to follow one's heart. It's a journey that may not be easy, but it's certainly worth it.

Discovering the Hidden Dangers of Sleep Apnea with Meghna Dassani

11/28/2023
In this episode, our host, Emily Williams, sits down with Meghna Dassani, a practicing dentist from Houston, Texas. Meghna's work goes beyond just teeth - she specializes in treating and managing sleep apnea in both adults and children. In this conversation, Meghna shares her personal journey and the pivotal moment that inspired her to delve into the world of sleep apnea. It all started with the loss of her father-in-law to this condition, which prompted her to seek answers and find a way to prevent her own family from experiencing such a tragic loss. As Meghna dug deeper, she discovered that sleep apnea is far more common than we realize. It can affect not only adults but also children, who often go undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness. She discusses the telltale signs to look out for in children, such as bedwetting, fatigue, and behavior issues. Sleep apnea occurs when a person repeatedly stops breathing for 10 seconds or longer during sleep. This interruption in breathing causes oxygen deprivation and puts strain on the heart. The consequences can be significant, ranging from high blood pressure and diabetes to stroke and even early onset Alzheimer's. Meghna's insights shed light on the interconnectedness of sleep health and overall wellbeing. Meghna also shares the treatment options available, both for adults and children. She explains how her practice has successfully integrated sleep apnea management and presents hope for those seeking relief and improved quality of life. Whether you have personal experience with sleep apnea or are simply curious to learn more about this hidden danger, this episode is a must-listen. So grab your favorite beverage, a notebook, and tune in to hear Meghna and Emily dive deep into the world of sleep apnea. You don't want to miss out on this eye-opening discussion….

Turning Your Pain Into Your Passion (and Profits) with Blair Jones

11/21/2023
In an inspiring episode of Emily Williams’s ‘I Heart My Life Show,’ Blair Jones offers a glimpse into her captivating journey – a unique weave of challenges and victories that captured the hearts of listeners. Blair affirmed her place as a black sheep in her family and life, showing the extraordinary power of going against the norm to discover a path filled with abundance and joy. The reality of Blair’s entrepreneurial journey wasn’t without resistance. From the skeptical outlook of her mom, an unpredictable journey to financial success, to the struggle for self-acceptance in an increasingly judgmental society, Blair’s journey unmasked the truths often hidden behind successful network marketing entrepreneurs. However, her resilience surpassed all the familial resistance, eventually retiring her mom with the prosperity she garnered from her efforts. Blair beautifully depicted herself as a trailblazer who takes pride in forging a unique path away from the conventional crowd. She refused to be tamed by societal expectations and instead channeled her energy into manifesting her dreams. For her, success was a combination of a positive mindset, direct action, and being genuine in a pursuit filled with uncertainty and high risks. Blair’s journey wasn’t an overnight transformation. It took seven years for her to reach her initial income goal. Speaking about this journey, Blair candidly expressed her struggle to balance her success with the fear of losing it all. Yet, through these challenges, she found nourishment in recognizing her worthiness and understanding that achieving her dreams requires an achiever’s mindset. In the world of network marketing, Blair sees it as a boundless field accessible to all, regardless of education or background. Interestingly, women, who compose 75% of millionaires in network marketing, have a significant role in this industry. Another remarkable fact Blair shared is that 90% of millionaires have some residual income, a unique opportunity offered by network marketing. She also believes in the transformative power of self-care, dedicating time to biohacking and nurturing the mind, body, and soul. On her path to balance pursuing her dreams and maintaining a grounded life, Blair incorporated points of pause – such as mindfully enjoying a meal or taking a moment to unwind by watching TV. This practice became a crucial part of her daily routine, allowing her the space to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with herself. Talking about her relationship with her husband, she highlighted the importance of open conversations and clear boundaries. She found that setting goals together, including weekly love meetings and dedicated family time, helped her and her spouse stay connected and effectively manage their dreams. Whether combing through the forms of resistance she faced or basking in the overflow of her achieved goals, Blair’s story painted the spectrum of entrepreneurship in true detail. By sharing her obstacles, achievements, beliefs, and practices, she truly encapsulated the essence of an empowered, determined, and fulfilled entrepreneur; redefining success in her own terms. In conclusion, Blair Jones’s captivating episode on ‘I Heart My Life Show’ reaffirms that personal achievements are not dictated by societal norms or expectations. Instead, they are constructed through self-belief, perseverance, and the courage to create our own uncharted paths. Thank you, Blair, for your inspiring story of harnessing hope and taming fears to create a fulfilling life. You truly embody the power of non-negotiables for success in business and life.

Navigating Love, Growth, and Balance in Relationships with Monika Zands

11/7/2023
In this episode, you'll meet the incredible Monika Zands. She's one of my dear friends, an incredible transformational coach and a true life teacher who always has so much wisdom to share. She's one of those humans who really sees you when you're in her presence, and there's never anything surface-level about the conversation. For that reason, it's difficult to convey just how beautiful this episode was. My husband James said it was one of his favorites to date (out of 300+)! Even the first few minutes (where we talked about the different levels of relationships) were very powerful. Here are some of the topics we covered together… Trust me, it's full of wisdom and inspiration that will not only leave you with tons of notes and action steps, but empower you on your own transformational journey.

Be quiet until asked and become really good at listening."— Monika Zands Navigating Relationship Dynamics: "One of the things we got really clear of probably about ten years into our marriage, and we've been married 22 years, but together 30. So about ten years into our marriage, we started saying, hey, I don't want to make an assumption that who you've always been is who you are today. So there are going to be times when I think you'll do this, but I'm going to still ask, and I want you to know that I'm simply asking to honor you."— Monika Zands "Balancing Family and Business: 'Okay, can we breathe?' Even if it gets a little scary, because we're spending a lot of the focus time on our daughter because the clock is ticking."— Monika Zands Butterflies and the Beauty of Life: "I said to Jan, what a beautiful reminder and metaphor for life that we every season has its day by day nuances. That one day there were no butterflies, and the very next day there's thousands of butterflies coming out of their cocoons. And what if we could relate to each other? Like, who's the you I'm meeting today? And how do I nurture what we need to have a beautiful reflection, like gratitude at the end of a day?"— Monika Zands Love Languages and Communication:"We have very different love languages. I'm an Acts of Service love language, and he's a words of affirmation.

And the observer of all is well, and how cute or how sweet or how tender of that girl who's doing those things. And when I can see both of those sides of me, this beautiful walk between both, actually, it strengthens and softens my nervous system. So I'm not having the natural stress response.

Navigating Postpartum Anxiety and Depression with Lizzie Langston

10/24/2023
In this episode, I'm joined by the fantastic Lizzie Langston, a postpartum coach and mom of three (soon to be four!) children. Lizzie is a passionate advocate for postpartum wellness and has developed her own coaching practice to support moms through their journeys. She brings a holistic and spiritual approach to her work, incorporating various modalities to empower women in their transformation. After stumbling upon Lizzie's podcast myself (not too long after having my daughter) I knew I wanted to get her on this show to discuss all things postpartum. As a new mom myself, I'm blown away by what I didn't know to expect even with a midwife, doula, and friends and family in my corner. Lizzie is such an incredible resource for moms and moms-to-be, and I'm grateful that she's here to be a voice for those of us who experience challenges and ups and downs in the postpartum period (which she believes is for your entire lifetime after having a baby!). On today's episode, Lizzie shares her personal journey of experiencing postpartum anxiety and depression after the birth of her third baby. She opens up about feeling alone and unseen, highlighting the importance of checking in on postpartum women and letting them know they are valued, even when society may not recognize their efforts. Lizzie's story is a powerful reminder that it's okay to ask for help and take action without waiting for instructions. We also discuss the significance of understanding yourself, facing the shadow self, and embracing self-love for healing and self-acceptance. Hope you love it!

My anxiousness took over, and then it led into depressiveness. I think the anxiety just burns women out."— Lizzie The Power of Coaching: "So coaching actually my first experience with coaching didn't teach me anything about the nervous system. I picked that up later as I had a sense I just knew postpartum women needed to get into the body level, not just the talk stuff. But I think what I loved about it was that it gave me my power back and it said, hey, your thoughts are contributing to the way you're responding with your kids."— Lizzie Psychoneuroimmunology: "Your emotional state can actually be manifested through physical symptoms, diseases, discomfort, everything from a throbbing shoulder pain issue to a thyroid disease or cancer or things like that."— Lizzie Healing the Shadow Self: "The parts of you that you don't like and you're ashamed of...we shame it away so deeply...journey back to your whole self and it's total unconditional self-acceptance...we're so dedicated to the roles and responsibilities and the duties of motherhood...we don't want to deal with or see the parts of ourselves that we don't want to see, that we're ashamed of...your whole self wants to be seen and loved by you, nobody else...the most powerful healing frequency is love from you to yourself...stop pushing away and shaming and noticing how they're doing that in a very subtle way...we talk ourselves out of seeing these things because we are so ashamed of them."— Lizzie Viral Topic: The Importance of Prioritizing Pleasure Quote: "How pleasurable?

Dare to Dream: Believing in the Impossible and Attracting The Life You Want with Amber Black

10/17/2023
In this episode of the IHML Show, Amber Black shares her journey of resilience and manifestation, proving that regardless of the circumstances we are born into, we have the power to create a life we love. Amber's story is truly remarkable. Growing up, she had a strong support system, but still felt a deep desire to prove herself. Her mother told her at a young age that she was unwanted and unplanned which shaped her reality for years to come. In fact, she didn't speak until the age of four and had to overcome many setbacks and limited thinking to get to where she is today. And yet, she continued to show up in life believing anything was possible. (And that you should always have your cake and eat it too!) Throughout the episode, she emphasizes the importance of believing in and bringing what we want into our lives. In this episode, Amber shares tangible practices and ways of thinking that have changed her life. For example: Writing down a list of desires and manifesting them with ease and joy. Many of us may feel hesitant to write down our desires, fearing disappointment if they don't come true. Amber suggests creating a visual focus, such as a vision board or Pinterest board, to help manifest our dreams. She encourages us to continue holding faith and believing in our desired outcomes, even if they seem unlikely or crazy in the moment. One of the key areas Amber focuses on is attracting dream clients. She challenges the negative thoughts and perceptions around sales and entrepreneurship, believing that everyone deserves to work with enthusiastic clients who are excited to invest in our services. Amber's story is a beautiful reminder that we have the power to create the life we desire, even if we're currently feeling stuck between our job and our dreams. She encourages us to connect with our "why," our calling and purpose, and take steps towards creating our own dream job. If you've been feeling hesitant or unsure about starting something big outside your nine-to-five, Amber's powerful insights will definitely inspire you to take that leap of faith. Remember, manifesting dreams can happen even if we forget about them. So let's embrace this sense of calm and assurance, and trust that by standing in our own truth and authenticity, we will attract our ideal clients, opportunities, and the life we truly desire. Tune in to this week's episode with Amber Black on the I Heart My Life Show for a dose of inspiration and practical tips to unlock your resilience and manifest your dreams.

Are you wondering if it's time to (dare I say) QUIT the thing you're doing now? If so, you're going to want to listen to this episode of the podcast. I'm taking you BTS of my own experience with those questions above, and I reveal some of the big decisions that I'm making for myself on behalf of my intuition and next chapter. HINT: It includes turning two things off for the time being. (I share the details in the Show!) So, if you're feeling stuck and unsure of what your next move should be, I highly recommend giving this episode a listen. I'm hoping that my vulnerability and honesty will inspire you to tune into your intuition and make the necessary changes to follow your bliss. Spoiler alert: I don't have all of the answers yet, but I'm here for the transformation and am excited about what will be revealed to me. Thanks for tuning in!

How Living 100 Days Outside of His Comfort Zone Reduced His Anxiety and Depression with Mark Fujiwara

5/30/2023
In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I had the pleasure of interviewing financial advisor Mark Fujuwara. But guess what? This convo is not about money or financial advice... Real truth? When my previous client and friend Tricia Brouk introduced me to Mark, I had no idea who he was or what he did. But I was captivated by his story... Back in 2016, Mark's life took a downward spiral after a tough divorce, and he struggled with depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. Through a simple conversation, he got the idea to step out of his comfort zone for 100 days, which as you'll hear in this episode, completely transformed his mental health and reduced his anxiety and depression. Now if you're reading this thinking you could never take that challenge, just know that he started small. In fact, his first step was telling someone about his mental health struggles. He called his cousin, who also had mental health struggles (unbeknownst to him!), and found it liberating to share his story. Now, Mark's goal is to normalize conversations about mental health symptoms in society, comparing it to talking about common cold symptoms. He believes that this would be a significant step towards winning the battle against mental health struggles if we could all be more open. I completely agree which is why mental health is a big topic of conversation on this Show. In this episode, you'll also hear Mark talk about how transforming his own life through his new practices also impacted his business. For example, he no longer works with clients who are not their true selves and is able to attract high-level contracts easily, without struggle due to his own energy and magnetism. Mark's story serves as a reminder that it's okay to struggle and seek help, and that vulnerability can lead to personal growth and positive change, and he gives us simple ways to reduce anxiety and depression. Let's dive in... In This Episode: [00:00]The Importance of Mental Health Mark discusses his goal of normalizing conversations about mental health and how it can help in winning the battle against mental illness. [01:49]Mark's Journey and Work Emily introduces Mark and they discuss his upbringing, career trajectory, and the creation of his family office. [07:10]The Power of Being True to Yourself Mark talks about his struggles with mental health and how being true to himself and sharing his story has helped him and his clients achieve better results. [12:33]Chy Egoi and Maximum Appreciation Mark explains the Japanese concept of Chy Egoi and Maximum Appreciation of the moment. [14:08]Wake-up Call Mark talks about his struggles with anxiety and depression and what led to his wake-up call in 2016. [21:05]Jumping in a Cold Body of Water Mark shares how Dave Asprey's advice to jump in a cold body of water became his day one task and how it helped him expand his comfort zone. [22:13]Hip hop dancing class Mark talks about his experience attending an advanced hip hop dancing class and how it helped him step out of his comfort zone. [25:39]Benefits of vulnerability Mark discusses how being vulnerable and sharing his mental health struggles with others helped him feel less lonely and become his true self. [29:17]Indicators of true self Mark shares how he measures his energy levels and looks for red flags to determine if someone is living out their true self. [33:10]Mark's True Self Approach Mark discusses his approach to financial advising, which is centered around being true to oneself and avoiding scripts. He shares examples of how this approach has led to successful client relationships. [34:28]The Importance of Being True to Oneself Mark shares a story about how being his true self during a client meeting led to a successful business relationship. He also discusses the importance of being true to oneself in all aspects of life. [41:23]Manifestation and Letting Go of Results Mark and Emily discuss the importance of manifestation and...

Here at the I Heart My Life Community, we are biiiig on desire (as you might have noticed from all the episodes we’ve had about the subject). And for a good reason! Being able to get everything you desire in life is a skill, and I want aaaaall of us to be able to learn and master that skill. You see, manifesting your desires doesn’t have to be difficult (or impossible, like a lot of naysayers would tell you). It can be done, as long as you follow the right steps and do the work needed. A great example of this is today’s guest on the I Heart My Life podcast, the brilliant, beautiful Lina Kennedy. Lina (also known as the Sugar Queen) is a storyteller, an entrepreneur, an inventor, a teacher, a successful business owner, and an all in all super woman with decades of business experience. She is also the founder and president of Alexandria Professional, the global leader and authority in body sugaring hair removal systems. Today, Lina and I will be going all in and talking about manifesting your desires, how she built her super successful dream business, the importance of staying positive and consistent in life, and more. Are you ready? Because I am! All right, let’s dive in. In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction [01:00] Lina shares her story and how she became the successful woman she is today [08:21] Marry a millionaire? No, I’ll become one instead! [17:54] Lina shares how she learned to grow her business [20:41] Some business from the Sugar Queen herself [25:44] Lina shares the financial challenges she faced during her journey [35:34] Let’s learn more about Lina’s book Quotes: “When you say ‘I'm grateful for the joy, abundance, and love that finds me today. I'm open, I receive, I'm ready.’ Those three things can change your life on a daily basis.” – Lina Kennedy “I'm all about moving on. That's probably one of the biggest gifts I was given to myself is just to move on. And so the opposite of that would be to remain stuck. I don't believe in that. At all. There is always a solution. It's whether or not you're brave enough, or fearless enough, because fear is what stops so many people from taking that first step forward or away.” – Lina Kennedy “I love life. Every day I wake up, I'm so grateful.” – Lina Kennedy “I wish I could take away the fear from people. You shouldn't fear trying something different, trying something for yourself against whatever people believe.” – Lina Kennedy “Women, please, if there's one thing you could do for yourself in this one lifetime, in this one journey we have here, it’s to look to make yourself happy. Don't look for a man to make you happy.” – Lina Kennedy “The easiest thing you can do to grow a business is this: Communicate clearly. You want people to understand you? Say it straight.” – Lina Kennedy Links & Resources: Ready to Uplevel Your Life?
