""Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you."OPRAH WINFREY

Just

like most people, I once was living a life

with no purpose and no meaning, I was lost, I didn’t know who I was anymore or what was I supposed to do with my life. I was working a job with the only purpose to pay my bills, and if I was lucky enough to have something left over, go on a one time holiday; I was living in autopilot, everyday the same thing, the same routine, the same “ol, same “ol… Thinking that it had to be more to life than this! Does that sound familiar?

For a long time I thought it was impossible for me to do something different, mostly because I was afraid, I thought I wasn’t worth

“AUTHENTICITY: TRUE TO ONE'S OWN PERSONALITY, SPIRIT OR CHARACTERISTIC”

Discovering where I was being inauthentic gave me pause to understand what I needed to do for true authenticity.

allows your days to be filled with more and things that are important to you.

HERE ARE 5 WAYS TO BE AUTHENTIC:

PRACTICE BEING PRESENT

Listen more, speak less. Instead of giving others a reason to attack your integrity, intentions, and niceness, be firm and assertive in communication with strength.. HAVE CLEAR AND DEFINED BOUNDARIES

Teach others where your lines are drawn in the sand. If they cross that line, you let them know. Then share what works for you and how to know when they are close to disrespecting your space. KEEP AN OPEN MIND

Do not judge yourself or others, keep your mind clear and aware. Practice higher awareness techniques such as meditation, the pause, and breath work.

DO YOUR BELIEFS AND ACTIONS MATCH?

Often, we are operating from someone else’s belief. Doing a deep dive check into whose belief are you acting from will show you how much you have given away your power. Take back your power and replace old and unwanted beliefs with your own authentic thoughts and beliefs. FACE YOUR FEARS

When you are stopped by fear, it freezes you in time. The mind gets clouded, emotions are high, and actions are less than favorable. Transform your fears into confidence by looking at what is behind the fear and finding the courage to remove whatever is holding you back.

What do you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want? When you master the inner game of your values and what you really, really, really want, the part of you that is strong enough to overcome anything, express without excuses and engage with truth and integrity, becomes YOU. Imagine where you are and the finish line of this life. That space in-between is yours and yours only. It is precious and a gift given to you by the very essence of each breath you take. Do not let that be wasted or thrown out the window. Embrace your authenticity, spread your wings and soar.

"TALK TO YOURSELF LIKE YOU WOULD TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE ” BRENE BROWN

3 WAYS TO FIND STRENGTH WITHIN YOURSELF It’s common knowledge that women are hard on themselves. We frequently second-guess our decisionmaking powers, which can lead to limiting beliefs, overwhelming fear, and scarcity mindsets. Researchers from Weight Watchers UK revealed that women criticize themselves at least eight times a day, with 40 percent admitting to starting as early as before 9:30 a.m. We have the ability to change the tune of our own inner voices, though

EMPOWERING AFFIRMATIONS VS. LIMITING BELIEFS Did you know that if you tell yourself you “can’t” complete a task, write a book, or cook dinner, you’re more likely to not do so? What you tell yourself greatly influences your perceptions on reality and what you’re able to accomplish. Next time you have an “I can’t” statement cross your mind, try these affirmations out instead:

“

I am capable of achieving greatness.”

“I am successful at every endeavor I try.” “I am enough.” If you want to take this a step further, write out your own affirmations in your journal every single day. This is a practice I started earlier this year, and it’s been a game-changer for me in terms of my mental health.

EVERY GIRL IS A GODDESS

WHO ARE YOU BEING? By Andrea Goodridge

Who are you being? The real you, or the pretend you? Who are you being?

Knowing your values

We’re naturally ourselves at home, among our family and friends. Yet as soon as we step into our business, we sometimes feel like we have to put on a new persona.

Understanding yourself requires digging deeper into why certain things matter to you. This is where you get to understand and identify your personal values. We all have a set of personal values that determine how we approach life and what makes us happy – and unhappy.

You can start to feel like you’re playing the role of someone else or constantly filtering yourself to present a particular image. I call this your ‘pretend you!’ But over time, putting on a different persona begins to take its toll. You feel like you’re just turning up for your work, processing ‘stuff.’ You start to experience imposter syndrome and feel inadequate and lonely. Ultimately this leads to a lack of energy, confidence and focus. Yes, your business is a place to be focused and professional, but it’s also somewhere where you should feel comfortable. If you think you can’t let your personality show, you won’t be comfortable, and you definitely won’t be bringing the ‘real you’ to your work. It’s true that sometimes you have to take into account the cultural fit of an organisation. So, behaving exactly as you do at home may not be the answer, so how do you bring enough of you to your business while still remaining professional? The answer lies in focusing on selfleadership; and discovering your values, strengths, and purpose. And when you align them with your work, that’s when the magic happens.

Those values can change and shift over time, but they’re always at the very core of who we are. Identifying your values gives you valuable insight into what drives you, and helps you make better choices that energise and uplift you. When you live in accordance with your values, you’re authentically you. The more you align your actions with your values, in both your business and personal life, the happier you’ll become.

Knowing your strengths Another vital piece of the puzzle is understanding your strengths and knowing how to choose tasks that play to them. Are you always the first person to come up with new ways of doing things? Perhaps your focus should be on continuous improvement projects or innovation in your organisation. Are you particularly empathetic and tuned in to how others feel? Perhaps your focus should be on customer delight and employee engagement. Whatever your strengths are, taking on more work that’s alignedWwith them and stepping WW.FRAMEMAG.COM | 20 away from work that doesn’t use any of them will help you add real value to your business.

Time for you to reflect on your values and strengths Take some time now to write down three words that you feel define your values. Integrity, Respect, Honesty, Efficiency, Boldness… any three words that describe how you want to live your life. Now reflect on your strengths. What do you excel at? Are you a clear communicator, a great persuader, or a number crunching genius? Write down your top three strengths. Looking at the two lists, how can you align them with your work? Is the work you’re doing now matching with them? Is there friction between the work you’re doing and your own personal values and strengths?

Your values and your strengths drive your purpose Since I chose only to do work that aligns with me and my values, my business runs smoother than ever before. I see the same thing over and over with my clients. When they align their work with their values and strengths, they get better results. If you can’t believe in and align yourself with the work you’re doing, then you can’t deliver exceptional results. When you fully understand what’s driving you, it’s easier to take action to focus your time and your energy toward what matters most to you.

How to find the real you Depending on your personality, I know it can be tricky to strike a balance between being yourself and being ‘work-appropriate’, but with a little self-awareness, you can let down your guard and allow your personality to shine through in your work. I talk to my clients about dialling up and dialling down parts of your personality, depending on the situation. So no matter what your natural personality is, you can let it show in your work. Allowing yourself to be the real you in your work also allows you to become more confident, happier, productive and clearer on what matters to you.

Start today and find ‘you’ again with a FREE copy of my Inner Guide to Finding the Real You. All you need is 10 minutes over 10 days to complete it – you deserve ten minutes a day just for you. https://mailchi.mp/43998adb6fde/th e-inner-guide-to-finding-the-realyou

why are you making excuses for why you can’t live or have a life beyond your wildest dreams?

Excuses are for those who don't want it bad enough.

It builds worlds. It gives others hope.

Excuses are for those who would rather live a mediocre life. I'm going to say it again because I want to make sure that you truly understand this. You can have results or you can have excuses but you cannot have both. And before I continue let me just say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with making excuses BUT you must recognize that they are exactly that, excuses. Magic and living starts to happen when you begin to honor your truth, show gratitude for everyday and love yourself for everything you already are. It means that you accept everything that makes you "you" all the quirks, tendencies, high points and low. You accept your flaws, your failures, your successes, your potential and you understand that you are more than capable of living an authentic love, joy, happiness filled life that always makes you excited to wake up in the morning. So often you find yourself constantly trying to fit in with everyone else so you hide out, do things that you hate all in the hope of being accepted by people who truly don’t understand you. While doing this you only suffocate everything that makes you who you are, you suffocate your soul and become an empty vessel who goes through the motions and feels miserable all while convincing yourself that your happy. You constrict your pleasure all so that you can make someone else happy. Your truth, the power inside of you is so much bigger than being accepted. That power, the one you are trying to hide, the one that people told you to stop using, the one that people didn’t understand is so much bigger.

It gives others permission. It raises the ENTIRE elevation of the Universe. So, why do you conform, do the expected and shut off your own truth, your own heart? Someone else's mold was not meant for you. You are meant for you. To become the highest version of yourself, the fullest you then you must rise above the feelings of conforming, fitting into a certain mold and be brave enough to show who you truly are. Accept who you are, the fact that you are a unicorn, that you have more magic inside of you then all of those within the Harry Potter Universe. Live your truth inside and out, here and now because inside of you is a unicorn goddess just waiting to be unleashed. And in case no one has told you today, I love you!

NURTURE YOURSELF

e il h w f l e s r u o Y 4Tips to Nurture urture others you N

STOP NEGATIVE SELF-TALK GET SOME REST

DO SOMETHING THAT LIFTS YOUR SPIRIT

DELEGATE TASKS AND RESPONSIBIL ITIES WHENEVER POSSIBLE

s by Raheela Jame Have you ever felt the need to do more than you are capable of doing? There was a time in my life where I thought that I had to continue to be strong no matter how I felt. I felt that I needed to do everything and not ask for help. Asking for help meant that I was failing as a wife, mother, and person. My husband worked and commuted, so I felt that when he came home, I had to have everything cleaned and have dinner on the table so that he would be comfortable. The interesting thing is that he never gave me any inclination that he wanted me to do that. He was more than happy to participate in any way that I wanted him to. As a woman or a mother, you may have experienced that. You are naturally inclined to nurture others, but you may not think that you need to nurture yourself as well. Nurturing yourself means that you are in a position to help others effectively. Nurturing yourself requires you to be true to yourself and recognizing that you need help.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO NURTURE? In their book “How to Influence People,” John C. Maxwell and Jim Dornan tell us that a person of influence nurtures people. When you nurture others, you speak kindly to them, and you show them kindness and respect. You will also lift the person and will show them positivity and love. You make others feel significant. Unfortunately, while you nurture others, you tend to ignore yourself. Youforget that you need to rest, to eat correctly, to talk with yourself with care and love. As much as you respect others, you deserve to respect yourself as well. You need to show yourself that same kindness, respect, and positivity that you direct toward others.

WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO NURTURE OTHERS AND YOURSELF?

"THE BELIEF THAT YOU NEED TO HUSTLE IS A LIE. YOU NEED TO WORK HARD FOR WHAT YOU WANT, YES. BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECONSIDER YOUR DEFINITION OF “HARD WORK”. AND YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO EMBRACE YOUR FEMININE MORE IF YOU ARE IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR THE LONG GAME."

I consider myself to be hardworking. I am proud of it. And I know for many of you it’s the same: you have great work ethic, you actually enjoy working hard and it’s just what you do. BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY “THE HUSTLE” HAPPENED. As success-driven women, we place great expectations on ourselves, we want more and faster and we always look at where we can do more and better. We buy into the lie that we need to hustle nonstop, that what is fun and enjoyable is taking away from our hard work, that being stressed and tapped out is normal, that needing time off means we are lazy… For a long time the hustle has been glorified. We need to hustle otherwise are we really doing enough? Do we want it “bad enough”? Are we ever going to get results? Basically, if you want to call yourself hardworking you have to "hustle". That is a big lie! And it's a great marketing tool: if you believe you are not doing enough and you are doing things wrong, you are willing to pay for the new strategy to become a millionaire in 7 days... The morning routine of successful entrepreneurs... Here’s the truth: we absolutely CAN work hard without the hustle, without being tapped out, ruining our health and relationships…

BEING GENUINELY HARDWORKING MEANS WORKING BECAUSE YOU ARE TRULY AND DEEPLY COMMITTED TO ACHIEVE YOUR BIG GOALS AND VISION. YOU WORK HARD BECAUSE YOU WANT TO AND IT’S REWARDING TO YOU. YOU REST HARD BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT AND YOU LOVE YOURSELF. I bought into the hustle thing when I was just a kid and I have lived in the hustle for years and years, then I hit burnout and that was exactly what I needed to wake up. FLOW IS WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED SINCE YOU FIRST STARTED. I slowly started to realize that there was a better way to live my daily life and business, to achieve my goals one after the other while staying healthy, cultivating beautiful relationships, feeling vibrant and fulfilled. I have always wanted to have all this at the same time, as you probably have too. The problem was that deep down I didn’t believe it was possible. As I was peeling the layers of the limiting beliefs keeping me exhausted and limited in the hustle mentality (comparison, selfworth, imposter syndrome, cultural conditioning… I started to have a taste of what I have always wanted ever since the beginning of my journey as an entrepreneur. Flow is an immersive state where you have clarity on who you are, your values, what you really want in life and business. And from a place of love and possibility you do the work and take the action that is required from you to achieve what you want.

When you are in flow you feel balanced, fulfilled and focused. You are in the present moment while you are intentional with what you do so that you keep moving the needle forward. You love and respect yourself and your mission so much that you take time to truly recharge so that your cup is not only full… It overflows into everything you do.

THE NEW PARADIGM: FEMININE WAY

Flow requires balance between structure and flexibility, masculine and feminine energies. Flow is the new paradigm I am inviting you in today. It’s the feminine way of living, working and creating success. It’s where you nourish, love and give yourself what you truly need so that you can then show up for everything outside of you.

As a woman, you are wired for creation and leadership, just as you are wired to create life. Your creative force is diminished when you don’t embody your feminine energy and, instead, you overstretch your discipline, structure, control of the masculine part of you. While the hustle (masculine) involves pushing, forcing and controlling, it’s strictly goal-orientated and focused on energy output; flow is focused on energy input, nurturing, loving, creating and letting the talent and energy you have inside of you overflow. No pushing. No struggling. Allowing. By cultivating your feminine energy the right way, you create balance and you create flow. Embracing flow is the best way to stay in the game long-term and truly live the dream life you want for yourself. Why? Because it’s sustainable. When you feel centered, balanced, fulfilled, vibrant and committed you can keep going forever. And you will be giving the world the best of you instead of what’s left of you.

UNCHAIN YOUR INNER STRENGTH “Lean in, speak out, have a voice in your organization, and never use the word, ‘sorry’.” ―Trish Bertuzzi

AUTHENTIC… what does it mean when you’re not sure who you are yet? Authenticity, we hear this world a lot, more now than we ever have before. Women are finding their strengths, their voices, and it’s a powerful beautiful thing to be part of, don’t you think? ...but what happens when for a long time all you’ve been doing is trying to fit in in places where you didn’t actually belong and you forgot how to be your Authentic self? We hear this word a lot from our favorite gurus and successful people we follow. The importance of being your authentic self, to be able to live your best life yet… But what does it really mean? How does one know if you are being your authentic self when you spent your whole life trying to fit in, trying to be liked and accepted by society?

"The greatest act of courage is to be and to own all of who you are — without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are" Debbie Ford

For as long as I can remember I fought with my own instincts, the idea of doing something different, something that wasn’t in a way “what others expected” of me, petrified me. I didn’t want to feel like an outkast. The rebel with no friends. I always had a need to belong, even when my instinct would guide me otherwise, I would neglect it and do things that were out of my natural nature. Trying to make friends with people who didn’t share my same values. Being stuck in situations that weren’t aligned to my beliefs. Stuck in a job that brought me no joy, made me feel empty and unfulfilled, just to pay the bills.

Stopping myself from doing something I wanted, in fear I failed and people will judge me. So, yeah, it’s easy to lose yourself and forget what being Authentic is… You find yourself in situations where it’s almost impossible to be who you really are. You start going quiet, shutting up, just to belong… and without even noticing, you get to that point where you feel voiceless, empty, misunderstood. What we tend to forget when trying to discover our Authentic self everywhere and anywhere is that our Authentic self is inside us, trying to get out.

It’s been there the entire time but just like I did with my instincts years ago… We dismiss it and we keep nodding in agreement when what we really want to do is scream from the top of our lungs and speak our truth. Those moments when you’re having a conversation with someone and part of you disagrees about the other person’s opinion but instead of speaking up, you chose to stay quiet and agree with everything's been said? Avoid conflict, that’s the first thing we lean into, although your heart is telling you to do otherwise. As children, you have no filter. You meet someone, you click and life is all precious and peachy… and when you don’t like someone, you made it very clear, spoke up and moved on with your life, surrounding yourself with those ones who made you happy and accepted you for who you are… Playing away with not a bother in the world, happy as Larry as they say. Then you grow up, hit adolescence and things start getting trickier. The need to be liked, to be accepted, to belong; leading into saying or doing some really dumb things just to be part of something. Being a teenager is hard! A constant battle between wanting to be accepted and try being your Authentic self in the process.

You know deep inside, something is not right. You’re constantly watching what you say; how you behave; being careful of not being that person that is different “The Black Sheep''...slowly you start losing sight of who you really are and spend more time becoming the person you are pretending to be. Finding who you are is a journey that is best experienced by one self. Going back to your roots, to the things that made your heart smile; the things that sparked your soul; the things that you loved doing before someone else told you you weren’t good enough. Before you were told that you were too much of a dreamer. Too opinionated. Too rebellious. Too strong. Just too much in general. How do we go back to our roots? How do you uncover our Authentic self now? Is it too late?When you really want something, there is always a way… And sometimes, it’s the Universe who leads the way in unusual ways. In my case, it presented when I fell into depression. There was a time in my life where I had completely lost sight of who I was. I had “lost” my voice. I was confused. I didn’t know what was right from wrong anymore. It took falling into depression to realize that things needed to change. At first I was convinced I had to change, I had to become someone different, someone new; but the more I dived into my inner self,

I discovered that if I did that, then it was no different from what I had been doing my entire life. I was just trying to erase myself and become someone new. I started reading every self help book I could get my hands on. Started to see a therapist. Journal my thoughts, trying to find what used to make me happy, to find what made me ME. I went back to my roots, as if I was a child once again. A child who was always a bit different from the rest of my friends but who wasn’t afraid of being. The child that knew how to say NO when I didn’t like something. The child that knew when to say YES because something made me happy.

And one of the most important decisions I had to make, was to admit to myself that this journey was one I had to do by myself. I had spent so much of my life being influenced by what others had to say that this time, I was going to make it my mission to listen to myself and myself only. It wasn’t easy, but if there is something I have learned in life is that the things that are worth pursuing are never easy, nor fast...There are no shortcuts, no quick fixes. Removing toxic people and situations out of your life is one of the first and most important steps to take when you want to find your Authentic self.

REMOVE TOXIC PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS OUT OF YOUR LIFE Toxic people and situations are presented in a variety of ways. It might be that friend who’s constantly mirroying her frustrations and failures onto you, telling you that you don’t have what it takes to succeed, who’s trying, subconsciously, based on her own experiences in life, to bring you at her level instead of encouraging you to rise and thrive.

You owe it to yourself to embrace who you are. F@ck what others might think or say, this is your life and you get to choose how you want to live it.

Situations that no longer help your growth. In my case, I stopped socializing with people whose only goal in life was to get drunk and high. Those were situations where I no longer wanted to be, they didn’t bring any joy into my life, the contrary, they made me feel more isolated and lonely, even when I was surrounded by lots of people.

Grab a pen and paper and start writing your story, everything you can remember since the moment you start remembering… Every detail, every emotion, every feeling, every experience, every achievement, every lesson, every heartbreak, every love, every passion…

It was hard… the phone that used to buzz like crazy, was now silent. The social active life I once had, was no longer there. There was something stronger pushing me to stay focused, overcome the feeling of loneliness... The desire to be my Authentic self was stronger and more powerful than another night out spent doing something that would leave me broke, back to the same place I was in before. Take a moment to think if you while you read this… Does it sound familiar? Does it bring similar feelings? The signs are always around us, screaming, manifesting, showing us that you have another chance to rediscover yourself, to be the woman you were born to be, to be your Authentic self! This is the Universe telling you that is your time, you need to STOP HIDING! You owe yourself to be your AUTHENTIC SELF and no one else.

You chose to be YOU and if someone doesn’t like it, it’s OK, their loss. They miss the chance to be in the company of someone like you, freaking awesome!

ALL OF IT! RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF WITH YOUR OWN STORY, from your own eyes, from your heart, from your truth. Everything you have ever gone through forms part of who you are, the good and the bad; it’s what makes you human. No one is perfect and that is not the aim in life, and whoever believes in perfection, then they haven’t lived enough yet or have been stuck in their comfort zone for so long that they don’t know what means to be alive. Your Authentic self is within, ready to come out and play once again… Allow your life to start over being the woman you were born to be. AUTHENTIC! REAL! CRAZY! REBELLIOUS! FEARLESS! UNSTOPPABLE! YOU MATTER… REMIND YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF THAT!

UNCHAIN

YOUR

INNER

STRENGTH

Do you want to become painfully aware of your every flaw and pet peeve? Are you curious how long it will take to discover who among your family, friends, and colleagues honestly believe in and support you? Would you like to go from believing you are incredibly skilled and experienced to questioning your very reason for existing?

START YOUR OWN BUSINESS I often refer to myself as a serial entrepreneur because I have always had a side gig or a business. I started babysitting when I was in junior high and within about a year had the confidence and reputation to watch five children at a time, eight hours a day, all summer long. I have always had a knack for discovering a niche I enjoyed, researching it, and mastering it, before finding the next great thing. I am going to take a wild guess here – based on the fact you are reading this publication – that you have a similar urge. That little voice or nudge when you see or hear something and think, “Huh. That’s cool…I wonder…” And off your mind goes into the possibilities.

Do you also have the itty-bittyshitty-committee in there telling you what a bad idea that is? Reminding you of all the times you have tried something and failed? Yeah, me too. I usually tell them to sit down and shut up, but there are times I am overruled. Any of this sounding at all familiar to you? Thank goodness! I just knew I was not alone! You are my sisters-inarms, my comrades, my sisterentrepreneurs. I am so glad you are here. Why? Because we are better together. We are better when we stand shoulder to shoulder. We are stronger when we are helping hold each other up – not tearing each other down. Our businesses flourish when we foster our connections and relationships with like-minded women. Being an entrepreneur and having your own business is not just about money and freedom. Both of those are great benefits, do not get me wrong, but it is really about our personal why. We do what we do because of how it makes us feel. Am I right? Because the seed of an idea and nurturing it with a strong business strategy, brings us joy and fulfillment. Whether it is because

we want to make a million dollars or not, ultimately it is what we do WITH our profits and how we utilize our resources, that matters to us. For most of us, that is at the foundation of our why. I will be honest. I want to make millions of dollars. Not because I want to say I am a millionaire or buy a yacht – neither of those are my heart’s desire. My heart’s desire is to leave a legacy – and money is the tool that will fund that legacy. Freedom is the resource that will allow me to devote as much or as little time as I want, whenever I want, to doing good in my world. Having my own business and influence over my resources, and not chasing society’s dirty pink bunnies, THAT my friends, is the foundation of my why. And let me explain what I mean by dirty pink bunnies – because it is a metaphor of sorts. It comes from one of my most favorite women – Glennon Doyle. She had a major ‘Aha’ moment while with her daughters at a safari park visiting a cheetah run, where they watched Tabitha the Cheetah chase a dirty pink bunny.

“I just remember seeing this regal, powerful, wild animal behaving completely and totally tamed, like a lab. I remember watching that Tabitha chase this dirty old pink bunny tied to a jeep, thinking, if a wild cheetah can be tamed, certainly so can a woman. She was not born to chase dirty pink bunnies. Right? I started thinking about all of the dirty pink bunnies that women are trained to chase—all the stuff that I did for so long, still do, in a million different ways. And that is why we feel overwhelmed and underwhelmed, and exhausted, and restless, and unseen, and unknown, because we chase these damn dirty pink bunnies.” So, yes, it is true, if you want to become painfully aware of your every flaw, question your very existence, and find out who honestly believes in you – by all means, start your own business. Just remember - do not allow yourself to become overwhelmed or exhausted because your itty-bitty shitty committee or your family or even your wellmeaning friends and colleagues expect you to chase dirty pink bunnies. Remember to remain true to your mindset; that powerful, regal, untamed cheetah-self.

WANT THE MOST ENGAGING AND CONVERTING WEBSITE EVER? ...GET NAKED! No, I don’t mean literally strip your clothes unless you are a sex/tantric coach in which case you win on both accounts, I actually mean strip away the barriers to your personality and strip away the shoulds and musts that are being bombarded at you from online ‘made it’ gurus about how you MUST do it this ONE WAY or it will never work.

Many mistake a website to be just virtual real estate that acts as a container to house pieces of what you want to show the world and hopefully it clicks for whoever chances upon it to feel compelled enough to buy from you. Although it does function that way in traditional terms, it is by no means for that purpose.

Instead of a Museum of you that also has a gift shop, a website to me is meant to be your ideal client’s theme park. It should be an enjoyable journey of discovery for something that fulfills their emotional needs and is narrated through your personality and perspective. THAT is what makes your website unique, YOU.

Side track: ‘I help people earn through manifestation, what emotional need would my client be wanting from me?’. The feeling of faith and safety that manifesting money or a house could bring them. If you can bring them on a journey of believing that to be possible for them by showing how much you yourself believe in it and maybe have experienced it, THAT is what your theme park will be building upon.

SO, who came first, Disney Castle or Mickey Mouse? Let me help, Mickey was created in 1982 and the first castle came about in 1983. Your theme park (website) is a virtual sensory experience through visuals and words that brings your ideal clients intentionally from one fun zone to the next. Its creation should be Exhilarating for both creators AND users. Which is the part of why you need to strip down the barriers to your personality and showcase it.

EVEN IF that personality is based on an Alter Ego because it would be something you are drawn to and therefore enjoy being. Which is also why most who think that once they have their website up and running are disappointed to find out that it doesn’t perform as well as they had hoped.

From my experience with past clients, those who have yet to figure out who they want to help and how they are able to help do not have the necessary engaging and converting content required to fill up a website to its optimum best. Templated pages with a few photos of your face here and there don’t cut it anymore in this modern world where authenticity and personal connection is needed so much more now in our, ironically , more disconnected world because of how much one could hide their true self behind screens.

You already have what it takes to stand out, you just need to stand in its power now and then digitized THAT onto the virtual real estate we call a website.

Once you have achieved that, the website is no longer something that you need to separately remember about to update but becomes an extension of you where it also fuels you with creative ideas on how else you can reach out to your ideal clients and transform even more lives.

An amazing way to direct interested individuals to your website for free is by optimizing your facebook profile for it which is why I have included a freebie for you to learn how to. Enjoy!

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” -augustine of hippo

amanda rose

the interview: Amanda Rose Amanda, before we dive into your entrepreneur journey... I'd like for you to share a bit of your background, where did you grow up? How was your upbringing? I was born in Toronto Ontario, in 1988, to Paul & Deborah Rose. For the first few years of my life my parents moved around within the Provence, before settling down in 1991 in Kingston Ontario. My father had founded his company, Techgineer, which operated as Interlink Computer Services, a computer repair business. He worked from home, though often was in and out all day long going to do on-site repairs. My mother had gone to the Canadian School of Art in Toronto. When I was born she opted to be a stayat-home mother with me, at least until I was in school. My parents were very much into new age spirituality. Astrology, crystals, tarot, meditation, aromatherapy - this was all common practice in our home. We saw a homeopathic practitioner regularly too. I was an only child, and relatively happy. We lived on a house that backed onto a park, so there was always fun to be had outside. I loved playing with barbies and I adored video games (and I'm still an avid gamer, my husband and I even had customer Zelda wedding rings made!). I loved to sign, and dance, I was always pumping Madonna & the Spice Girls through my boom box.

When I was about 4 years old my mother left, briefly, for about a week, to have an affair. While I blacked out that event from my memory, and only came to learn of it many years later as a teenager, it was that time where I experienced abandonment that began a life-long struggle with food. I wanted my mother, I wanted to feel safe and loved, and food filled that void. Even in kindergarten I was the "fat kid". My teacher event treated me poorly because of my weight. I felt embarrassed about my body, and I was shy and had a hard time making friends. After a brief attempt at homeschooling for the beginning of 1st grade, I ended up enrolling in a new school. I still had a hard time fitting in and my weight made me very self conscious. Kids teased me. My weight continued to climb with every passing year. I was an "A" student all through school, and very competitive. Academics came easy to me. The only class I ever struggled in was physical education; I hated sports, and I got tired easily, so I'd often feign an injury in the hopes of being benched. By 6th grade my doctor was warning my mother that I was pre-diabetic and at risk. I was placed on forced diets. I did want to lose the weight, but my subconscious mind had made the link that "food = love" and taking that away was tortuous. I would sneak food because I always felt hungry, I just didn't realize that void would never be healed until I came to understand where this had come from.

"I struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts"

As a pre-teen and early teenager I struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts. I felt disconnected from the world. Nothing felt "real" and it was hard to even feel emotionally. Through very infrequent, sometimes I'd cut myself, never big, or deep, and not on my arm where it would scar (though I loved scars) I'd often cut my finger tips. The pain was this delicious reminder that I really was still alive. By age 15 I topped out at 258lbs. I was miserable. I finally had had enough, and I committed to change. What started as an innocent diet, however, turned into the worst life-changing experience of my life. My commitment became obsession, and within a month I spiraled into full-blown anorexia. I was only eating 1/3 Measuring Cup worth of food 3x a day and I began vigorously exercising.

I wanted desperately to become a famous Hollywood actor, and I was willing to do anything to make it happen. I was willing to die for it. After all, Hollywood actors were thin, I had to be thin to reach that goal, and nothing was going to stop me. I hated my body, I hated myself, and I was the worst bully I ever had. During this time I was in constant agony. My memory was terrible, I wouldn't sleep, couldn't focus, I'd break down crying for no reason, I'd snap at everyone, my bones ached, my hair fell out; it was a living nightmare. For a year and 4 months this went on, before I finally lost 138lbs. I'd hit my "dream weight" of 120lbs, and you could count my ribs.

I fit into a 00 (yes, double 0). I have a hard time looking at photos of myself from that time now, I looked like a walking skeleton, and yet at that time the body dysmorphia was so real I still felt so fat. It took years and years of therapy and healing to move through it. There was over a decade of healing to follow. One of the things, above all else, that helped me to heal, was learning about the law of attraction, and the power of the mind. Doctors will tell you that you never fully can heal from mental illness and eating disorders, but you can. I met my now-husband when I was 17. We both joined a rock-metal band. We only made it through about 3 rehearsals before the band fell apart, but we kept on dating. Life has a funny way of bringing us who and what we need. I went to college for Acting or Film & Television & then for a year of creative writing. I graduated into the 2008 recession, and for the first time in ages the Canadian dollar was stronger than the American dollar, so american films stopped coming here to film. I was devastated. Despite landing an agent, there was little opportunity for acting jobs then. Not only that, but I couldn't even find a job flipping burgers to pay the bills; me, the "A" student, the perfectionist, the honor roll girl, and the recipient of the Governor General's Award, couldn't find a job. My parents had to support me for nearly a year.

"WRITING A BOOK IS BASICALLY LIKE GETTING NAKED IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE" AMANDA ROSE

When I finally managed to get a job it was doing door to door sales; a far cry from where I pictured my life going. From there I got a retail job, which sucked the life out of me. During that time, in 2010, I manged to land a National Best buy Commercial and a 1liner on the TV show Dan for Mayor. Then I got a job doing in-store presentations; a job they only hired actors for because we had to memorize 20-30 minute monologues to do it! It was exhilarating. I loved it, and I was good at it. I then became a sales trainer, to help the new recruits learn how to sell. This job fulfilled me until we had a management shift, and the environment became unbearable, and I had to quit. This was the time, in 2013, when I had no idea what I was going to do, no back up plan, and not much savings, that my entrepreneurial journey began.

You are alwasy very open in your posts and everything you do in your business, I admire that about you, you are very authentic! I remember you sharing your experience of being bullied when you were younger, can you tell us more about it. How did it make you feel and what impact had inyour life? Oh gosh, yes. I think we all need to talk about bullying more, and put an end to it. Mostly, bullying came in the form of other girls not including me. I always had male friends because of it. I never felt welcomed. Though there were other things as well, meaner things, like being called names. There was also the sarcastic "cheering on" from other kids when I was overweight and trying to be active.

I remember in 2nd grade one of the girls in class asked me how much I weighed. I didn't want to tell her, I hummed and hawed. She finally got my trust, and I told her, and she burst out laughing and told everyone in class. I felt embarrassed, I was so humiliated. In 2nd grade most of the other kids were 60-70lbs, and I was about 130lbs. It really hurt. I think the worst thing, however, is adult bullies. In the online space we see this as a prevalent thing. It's absolutely ridiculous, and I've started a #BlockandBoycott movement. I will not support any entrepreneur who uses belittling others as a form of marketing. Being bullied has made me very aware of how I treat others. I always want people to feel included, supported, and loved. We don't all have to agree, but when we disagree, we don't have to tear one another down. There's room for variety, and it's our own unique strengths that define us!

Now, business... I love that you are a multi passionate entrepreneur with different businesses. We hear a lot on how as an entrepreneur,you have to get very clear on who your ideal client is, has the variety of your passions ever affected your business? Oh I love this question! I'm very multipassionate, and I'm a big advocate for multi-passionate entrepreneurs. NOT to be get boxed into one niche. We do need niche clarity, and we do need to niche down, but we can absolutely have more than one niche. For example, just as an author alone I have books with a wide variety of genres: Science Fiction, Self-HeLp, Business,

Literature, heck I even have a cookbook out! The key thing is that each book (or book series) has it's own genre, and that they are appropriately marketed to each.

The one thing I was very resistant too was personal development (go figure). I really wanted to learn the strategies to get rich, but I snubbed my nose up at self-help.

I also feel we can have what I call and "Umbrella Niche" which is a broad niche that encompasses everything we do, and the we have narrower niches for each offer. This helps us with our message.

The Universe, however, keeps giving you hints about what you need to do to get to the next level, and if you overlook or ignore them they just get more intense. That's exactly what happened. One day, my husband came home, handed my a piece of paper that said he was fired, and my blood turned to ice. I wasn't earning enough to cover the mortgage, car payments, bills, and feed us all on my own! In that moment I saw two roads ahead, the first was filing for bankruptcy, the second was getting over my damn self and turning to personal development. I chose option number two.

What has been really cool, though, is that many times I'll find people who love ALL the different things I do! My ideal clients are also multi-passionate. So the affects on my business have been incredibly positive.

As some entrepreneurs, including myself, your first business was in a Network Marketing company and you became very successful and then you transitioned into your current business as a Mindset & Business Coach... What changed for you? Wanting to start something of your own? I am a big advocate for Network marketing, I think it is an excellent way for people to learn about how to run a business without having to drown in the complicated product/service development stage; you basically get a business in a box and can focus on learning how to market and sell! I loved helped people with health and fitness, after what I suffered through with eating disorders I wanted to help people learn how to do things in a healthy sustainable way. As I got into the team building aspect of MLM, I realized I loved helping people build their business even more than I did their health and wellness. It was quite a few years before I transitioned.

I dove into reading every book I could about manifesting and money. I discovered I had had a very shitty mindset around money and wealth, and I had been subconsciously pushing it away. I began to work through and apply the concepts, bolstering my faith and learning to surrender to the Universe. The 6-months that followed tested us intensely, but we ended up manifesting over 6-figures in 6-months. That's when I knew I had to share this with everyone!

You are also an author who writes books of very different topics, from sci-fi to mindset... How did you get started as a writer? Was it always a passion of yours or something you developed once you started your business?

"I ALWAYS LOVED TO WRITE! I ACTUALLY WROTE MY FIRST BOOK WHEN I WAS 16 YEARS OLD, FIRE FURY FREEDOM"

form in front of me during the process. It's illuminating, mind expanding, and it's down-right spiritual!

Having some many books under your belt, and I'm sure more to come... As an entrepreneur would you say it has helped you increase your authority as an expert in your niche?

I always loved to write! I actually wrote my very first book when I was 16 years old, Fire Fury Freedom, though didn't get into publishing them until 2018. I love stories. I love communication through the written word. Our thoughts shape our world, so when someone reads something you write, you're reshaping their world, it's quite profound. I always loved video games and movies. Stories help expand the way we see ourselves and our world. Writing is also escapism for me, at least when I am writing sci-fi, so it's a pleasure to get to explore this world I built in my head!

How many books have you written so far and do you have a favorite one? And tell us, did you have any personal breakthroughs while writing your books? Oh man, tough question! So, currently I have 12 full-length books published, plus about 7 workbooks. My favorite book to date in Fire Fury Front Lines, book 2 in the Fire Fury Saga, I love the characters, it's high octane action-packed, with space battles, magic, and all the goodness that makes a story addictive! I'm a conduit for the Universe when I write, meaning, the Universe writes through me. I get to experience the words, the insights, and story, etc.

Yes, I can say with absolute certainty being an author has helped with positioning myself as an expert. When you write a book on a topic people instantly assume you know-your-shit, haha!

For anyone who's thinking about writing a book but are still afraid of sharing their story in case of being judge or misunderstood, are there any tips or advice you would like to share with them? Just as with being an entrepreneur, writing a book is basically like getting naked in front of an audience. We peel back our protective layer and say, "Here I am, this is me, warts and all. Take me or leave me." It's scary, it's going to feel scary, and that's OK. That's part of this process. The truth is, no one's pinion but your own matters. Part of becoming the most fully developed version of you is accepting yourself no matter if anyone else does. My favorite suggestion to work through this process is to jump on your social media and write a post 'this is me' and list all of your beliefs, your world views, religious views, political views, etc. lay your cards down on the table and see who stays and who goes; and the people that stay are YOUR people. They will be so much more connected to you as an individual, and you to them. It's scary, but when you do this, you realize the fear was all in your head. TO BE CONTINUED ON PAGE

S OUL

by Heather Wylde Are you sick of letting great leads slip through your fingers because you don’t know how to handle sales objections? Tired of prospects going from hella excited to work with you to practically running for their lives after you pitch?

I hate that term. What if we look at it differently?

What if I told you that sales objections weren’t what you’ve been told? What if I could show you how to LOVE “objections”?

NOPE! AND OBJECTION WOULD BE SAYING "NO!"

First, you’ve got to understand two concepts:

An Objection isn’t an objection. The Power of the Critter Brain

REDEFINING “OVERCOMING OBJECTIONS”

Is a sales objection actually an “objection”?

If a client is saying... “I can’t afford this.” “I don’t have time.” “I’ve got to talk to my wife.” ...they are voicing CONCERNS. My preferred term for what comes after the sales pitch is Addressing Concerns. With this mindset shift, you will be able to walk with them through their fears back to a more grounded state where they can make the best decision for themselves.

But first, you gotta meet The Critter Brain.

WHO AM I TALKING TO? Have you ever felt like your client developed multiple personality disorder DURING your sales call? They talk about wanting to change, then talk themselves out of it.. What the hell is going on?

Well, you ARE essentially talking to 2 very different people, or rather aspects of their psyche. In the first part of your call, you’re talking to their Highest Self the part that is looks at WHAT IS and says, “This could be better.” But there’s another part of each of us that says CHANGE= DEATH. One mentor used to call it the Critter Brain. The second we start truly considering reallocating resources — time, money, energy, effort —into doing something different, the Critter Brain comes awake to stop us from doing something that it’s SURE will mean our untimely demise. (This Critter Awakening happens in most sales calls during the pitch. I teach my clients to trigger the Critter a little earlier in the conversation so that it’s been tamed a bit by the time the subject of money comes up. 😉) You have to understand, the Critter is only concerned with SURVIVAL. It doesn’t care about happiness, fulfillment, or possibilities. As far as it’s concerned... Your bad relationships: GOOD. Struggle for more clients and more consistent sales: GOOD. The weight that you can’t seem to get off: GOOD. If you've survived in the past, the Critter "reason", chances are, you'll survive it again.

DEALING WITH THE CRITTER. The key is to know that The Critter is just doing it’s job. Your job is to act like a negotiator who is attempting to free the client’s Higher Self from a really jittery, misguided kidnapper who is convinced that they are the hero. The Critter is desperately clutching the Higher Self, screaming “Don’t go down that path!!!” The key to the Critter is to assure it that, so long as you’re there with it, the journey to transformation is SAFE. You know the path and the pitfalls so you can get them from Point A to Point B without dying.

5 STEPS TO ADDRESSING CONCERNS

SEE THE CONCERN AS AN OPPORTUNITY This where you get to showcase your skills are a mentor or healer by powerfully standing for their transformation and guiding them to make a decision.

UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU ARE TALKING TO THE CRITTER See that you’re speaking with the real reason your prospect is stuck.

SHOW EMPATHY Share a 30-60 second story about a time that you had a similar concern about an investment.

DON'T TAKE THE CONCERN AT FACE VALUE Remind them of what they said earlier in the call about their pain points and why they really wanted to change.

BE PREPARED TO SHOW THEM HOW YOUR PROGRAM IS THE ANSWER TO NOT THE PROBLEM THEY CAME TO YOU WITH BUT ALSO TO THE CONCERN THAT THEY’RE EXPRESSING For instance: How will your program result in them making or saving money? Figure out ALL the ways your program will help them in every area of life then talk about that in your posts and content!

P RACTICE Ask a friend or business ally to practice your sales calls with you, especially addressing concerns!

RELATION SHIPS

UNDERSTANDING THE WOMAN WITHIN

SO... ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALCOHOL AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE? —BY LORA ANNE STRONG Everyone comes to this decision, for many different reasons. It could be treatment, because of legal issues, surrounding alcohol, relationship issues, incarceration, or wanting to live a healthier, more spiritual life and booze, just doesn’t fit. Or maybe you just need a break. I’ve been down this road a couple times. I was sober for 13+ years and recently, I put down the drink on 12/12/15. So, I have a little experience in this arena. First, I want to say: This is YOUR recovery journey, no one else's. You may get inspiration/support from others, but it’s for you to decide, what will, work for YOU. This part is crucial, when navigating this path. You may try many different programs and you are also allowed to shift, as needed, for your support. You get to choose. Here’s the thing, what you may need in the early months, may not be needed, in year 2. You get to decide. If you are in the beginning days of your alcohol-free life, surround yourself with as many tools/support, as you can; Podcasts, books, people that are walking the walk, groups, meetings, (if that’s your thing.)

There are so many different meetings these days to choose from, besides, AA. I started out with AA, both times, to get myself grounded and have immediate support.Like I've said many times, everyone is different, find what resonates with you. In the beginning, you may go through many different emotions. Depending on how long you drank, how much, etc., there are shifts that are going to happen on an emotional, physical and spiritual level. This is VERY normal. Get as much support as needed. A coach/therapist/program, may be beneficial in the beginning days.When we put down the booze, that’s when the true healing begins.

Create your TOOLBOX and use it, as much as you need! Here are some of the tools that worked for me...

PODCAST TO BE INSPIRED BY

SELTZER SQUAD THIS NAKED MIND EDITING OUR DRINKING AND OUR LIVES THE UNRUFFLED PODCAST THE SOBER EXPERIMENT SOBER AS A MOTHER These are some of my favorites. There are so many! Again, find what resonates with you. I binged on, HOME PODCAST, in the beginning days.

CREATE YOUR FAVORITE MOCKTAIL

Now that we aren’t drinking alcohol, it’s time to look for some alternatives. When we decide to dump the booze, we will need a healthy alternative. This is a great time to explore those amazing, alcoholfree mocktails!What are some of your favorite flavors/fruits? I buy frozen fruit and add it to my Lacroix and use the fruit as my ice cubes! The options are unlimited!

HERE’S A FEW OF MY FAVORITE MOCKTAIL LINKS: HTTPS://MIXTHATDRINK.COM/28-MOCKTAILS-AND-NON-ALCOHOLICDRINKS-TO-LOVE/ HTTPS://WWW.TOWNANDCOUNTRYMAG.COM/LEISURE/DRINKS/HOWTO/G785/BEST-MOCKTAIL-RECIPES/

If you are out with friends, and you get asked, “Do you want a drink?”, or “Why aren't you drinking?” It's your decision what you decide to tell others or not. You may want to think about this, prior to going to an outing, where there may be alcohol served. Some examples can be: I’m the designated driver tonight. I’m not drinking tonight. (that’s it.) I’m on a mission to be healthier, so I’m not drinking right now.Im training in the morning and want to feel strong. You can certainly say that you’re on a SOBER JOURNEY, but it’s your decision, who you share that with and your comfort level. Many women I have worked with, are stressed enough, they aren’t ready to share with everyone.J ust be prepared, so you are in a position that supports your decision. It’s okay to bring your own beverage, so you’re not tempted. I also want to stress the importance of taking care of yourself in these beginning days.It’s okay to not attend the parties/gatherings that may be triggering. Your responsibility is, to YOURSELF AND YOUR SOBER JOURNEY!

BOUNDARIES ARE NECESSARY. WHAT IS A BOUNDARY? A boundary is a limit you can set, on what you will accept of another person’s words or actions. If your goal is to heal and live alcohol free, you are allowed to create boundaries within your circle/home. I didn’t allow alcohol in my home, in the beginning and stayed away from places, that would be too triggering. I Stopped going out with old drinking buddies and asked to meet for coffee with those I wanted to stay in touch with. A big concern I’ve seen in the recovery communities, is, “Do we need to find new friends?, Are we going to lose our old drinking buddies?” “Is everything going to change?”All I can say regarding this is, YES, most likely, life will change. I tell clients, if you’re feeling triggered, do what serves your recovery journey. You may need to distance yourself, or create a boundary, with certain people and the friendships sometimes fade or evolve to something even better.

Most of us in recovery, had very little boundaries in our lives. It’s something we learn, as we navigate the waters of our healing.

TYPES OF BOUNDARIES

Material Physical Mental Emotional YOU decide what works best for you and your situation.

BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF.

Make sure you are practicing self-care at this time. In the beginning of this BEAUTIFUL and difficult process, don’t fill your plate up. Get help where you can and rest when you need. I took a lot of salt baths, with candles and my oils. I truly started taking care of myself again, MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT.You may feel overwhelmed at this stage, (it’s completely normal.)

REST. BREATHE. CRY. AND BREATHE SOME MORE. Your body is healing and coming back HOME. It’s a process that cannot be rushed. I am almost 5 years alcohol-free and I will tell you, there are difficult times and the MOST AMAZING MOMENTS AND REWARDS! If you slip up, please do not beat yourself up. Get up, grab onto a life preserver and keep swimming. You’ve got this! Keep going and don’t give up, And make sure you have those that support you, on speed dial.

ARTS heals and sparks new growth BY

ARTIST,

ANGEL

BURNS

A British-based artist, Angel Burns, is sharing Art History in her own creative style by replicating famous paintings on her face using face paints. She has reproduced numerous styles from Pop Art; Lichtenstein and Warhol to Surrealist, Frida Kahlo and Dali. Her paintings are part of a year-long project that is being collated into a unique Art History book, which will be published in September 2020. "Whilst completing this project, I never thought that face painting during the 30-45 minute sessions would instil so much self-confidence and trust in my ability to pursue my art career and publish an Art History book with a difference," said Angel. "For me, art heals and sparks new growth."

through mental health issues and dealing with emotional traumas and using art as a tool for recovery. I didn’t connect the possibility that I was going through a healing process myself. I was changing as a person. I found a release of suppressive tension within me. I had gained confidence in myself and my ability. It was something that I didn’t realise had happened and took me by surprise. It hit me when my car wouldn’t start and I needed to get a painting to an art gallery. The old me would have panicked, begged whoever I was with, to ring the garage or simple gave in and not even try to take the paintings to the art gallery. But what happened was I used the phone without overthinking; twice. I then organised how to get to the gallery. It wasn’t until that moment that I realised, I had changed. For years I had been exploring alternative healing methods, I had tried numerous techniques. The biggest shift in my personal healing was when I started doing face painting. In October 2019 I decided to paint my face for nine days in the style of an artist, to the run of Halloween. It was to be a fun, creative activity, nothing more. I hadn’t counted on the deeper benefits. There is something magical about looking into your own eyes and thinking positive thoughts. I never thought that face painting would instil so much self-confidence and trust in my ability to pursue my personal goals. I never envisaged that I would publish an art history book or develop an art therapy course.

THE HEALING PROCESS They say your ‘eyes are the windows to your soul.’ It was certainly the case with my journey, you could see the strain in my eyes. From week to week you could see my internal struggle, you could see the tension being released. Those invisible walls I had built around me were slowly being stripped back revealing who I was. After the nine days I continued to paint my face. As the weeks progressed and I

gained more confidence and I started to paint more complex paintings. But there was something else that was happening. I was healing. I was seeing myself for the first time. I had no idea how staring at yourself and doing a task solely for you, daily, would result in such a huge shift in your mindset. I was liking the work I was producing. I was liking myself. No it was more than that, I loved myself. For the first time in my adult life, I was talking to myself in a positive, encouraging way. It gave me confidence in myself and my ability as an artist. An artist I wanted to be. It gave me confidence to realise that I deserved to be loved, respected and the most significant element; I learnt basic things about myself. Years of compromise, had left me not knowing who I was. Not even what my favourite colour was. I didn’t exist. I was just floating through on a wave that wasn’t my own. I can now tell you what my favourite colour is, what I like listening to, who my favourite artists are. Whereas before, I was seen but not heard At times I feel drained, both emtionally and physically. I never anticipated how drained I would feel after those initial waves of healing. I hadn't given it a second thought. Even though I was researching artists who were going

I then unintentionally found myself questioning relationships, breaking free of ones that were not beneficial to me. It was a turbulent time. A time where I felt stronger than ever but vulnerable at the same time. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Full of joy but also grief. There were periods of time when I did one a week and others when it was one a day. I kept going. My eyes were brighter, the choices of what I painted in this timeperiod, became more complex. I had become the Angel I know today. Art heals and I had begun my journey. My purpose now is to share my healing method with others. My story is detailed in 52 Faces and available to purchase on Amazon. In addition to this I have developed an online beginners course for face painting with healing at its core. Every reader will be given free access to this 5 day course by using the code @unchainyourinnerstrength the course commences in November 2020.

HOW FOOD CAN PROGRAM YOUR BODY FOR HEALTH OR ILLNESS Many people think about food simply as a way to satisfy hunger without paying much attention to it. They treat eating as another thing they have to do in life. Others see it as fuel for our bodies to give us the energy to work, play, and live our lives. Some may be concerned about the calories food provides based on their health goals. Still, others may focus more on components like carbs, fats, and proteins.

Food can also be a source of discomfort or pleasure. It may help us feel healthy and happy or make us feel sick.

Do you crave sugar after eating a meal? Or maybe you look for a snack the moment you get home from work. Have you ever wondered why?

FOOD FOR INFORMATION What we eat is much more than just calories, carbohydrates, fats, or proteins. Food is information, and it can give directions to our bodies. It can send messages of health or illness. Food is critical for energy, but it also affects our mood and long-term health. It provides materials that our body uses to perform many different functions such as energy production, tissue repair, muscle growth, or blood sugar regulations. However, it also sends instructions to various systems and organs on how to react to the internal and external environment. When we consume a meal, we deliver nutrients that send signals to the body to react in a certain way. For example, as you eat food containing carbohydrates such as a piece of bread, your blood sugar goes up. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose and releases it into your blood. Glucose sends a message to your body to unlock the hormone insulin. Next, insulin sends the information to your cells to get ready for glucose needed to produce energy. Going back to those sugar cravings, people experience them for many reasons. One explanation could be that your brain craves serotonin produced when you consume sugary foods. Serotonin is a chemical that regulates mood, appetite, and memory. That piece of chocolate that you consume sends the message to boost serotonin so that you can feel happier and more relaxed.

FOOD FOR YOUR UNIQUE BODY

Food can also affect the expression of our genes. It can turn them off and on. There is information in every bit we take that gets translated by our genes. That is why there isn’t one way of eating that works for everybody. We all process foods and translate information that comes from these foods differently. What is appropriate for me may not work for you. Chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, or cancer are influenced by our lifestyle and eating habits. Many health problems have been linked to food choices that are inappropriate for our unique bodies. If you consume foods that are improper for you or include substances that are not recognized by your body, you are constantly sending messages to mobilize the immune system that wants to protect you from invaders. This may trigger chronic inflammation that can lead to chronic diseases. Next time when you reach for a meal, remember that every bite you take sends a message that triggers a cascade of events and sends signals all over your body. Hence, every food choice you make is an opportunity to shape your health and wellbeing.

THIS IS MY STORY - SELF LOVE Hi, I am Vera PrazakI help women feel incredible in their body, confident in their life and gain control over food without any complicated diets or rules.

I hated my body. I couldn’t stand how curvy it became and how uncomfortable it felt.I suffered from adult acne, and I didn’t feel sexy at all despite my partner assuring me that I was “fine”. But I wanted more than FINE. I wanted to feel myself again. This was about ten years ago, after graduating UNI when I realised the first time that I needed to go on a diet. I still remember how incredible I felt after losing that 5kg. And how frustrated I was when I put them back on. I hated myself even more. Right into the next diet and next and next until I started to feel even emptier than ever before. Despite my weight loss success, I didn’t feel sexier, and I didn’t feel fitter more of the opposite. It started to seem impossible to have the body and life I wanted. Something had to change.I stepped outside of the diet box and searched for a better way inside of my own body and mind. Only a few weeks later, my body started to respond, and I saw it changing from day-to-day.I felt in control, and I felt supported. My body was changing its shape without long gym workouts; my weight has stabilised despite eating foods I liked, and my head felt clearer. I have created space for things I wanted. I felt incredible; I felt radiant; I felt free. Today, I teach women how to live in harmony with their body, how to listen to their inner wisdom and how to find peace and freedom within their life so they can too become radiant.

BY VERA PRAZACK

FOLLOW YOUR PATH You are woken up by a soft light breeze on your cheek and sun gently penetrating your eyelids. You hear the birds singing in the distance and the sea breaking on the beach.Letting your palms glide over your body, your hips, your things and your stomach even before you open your eyes. Feeling so comfortable and loving how your body feels under your touch.The first glimpse into the mirror reassures you that this will be a day filled with happiness, joy and love. You love your body, and you feel so much power radiating from your inner self. The way your energy flows is endless, and you know that everything is possible. But you also know that this wasn’t you a few months ago. You hated your body, you couldn’t stand its imperfections, and despite living in the most beautiful place on the earth, you could only see the clouds. You felt heavy, tired, frustrated. Anxiety was your best friend, and you felt the massive weight of the thoughts flooding your mind since even before you opened your eyes. You felt unloved, unseen, unvalued and unconfident. You felt out of control over your own body and life. Everything was hard, and everything was just too much, too overwhelming. You tried many diets. You dedicated the last five years to exercising despite you hate the gym. You chose that diet and then fasted for a few days, you followed every advice someone else gave you and for what? To lose some weight just to gain it back and feeling constantly tired, anxious and worried about what else is to come. You felt trapped in your own body and your life… So what has changed?

You fell at the very rock bottom of your life, and when you almost gave up on yourself, you started to feel THAT something. It’s like the sun was trying to reach your skin again, to show you the way out. You felt a connection. Not to someone, but your own self. It’s like someone took off the blindfold and all of a sudden you were able to see that you had all the answers to the life you wanted right here, within you, in your body. You decided to surrender, to let go off the fear and doubts and let your body guide you. Let your body be the one to determine what’s best for you. You decided to trust your inner wisdom and started to heal your mind to heal your body. In the past few years, you've forgotten about your own inner guidance. You were trapped in the cycle of someone else’s life, someone else’s journey thinking that they must know better. But what you saw was only a glimpse of their perfect life, and you failed to see the real truth behind it. You forgot that you are you and that you live your life. You failed to see what’s best for yourself instead of blindly follow someone else’s advice. You forgot to live your life. Now just a few months later, you feel incredible. You know how to support your body without unnecessary restrictions. You know what movement feels right for you and you feel in control. Your day is no longer ruled by doubt and fear; you see endless possibilities. The decision to be you and be authentic and true to yourself has saved your life. This was also my own journey, and despite knowing what to do, what’s the best for my body, I failed to connect and to let my body lead the way.I know how hard it is to take the first few steps, but I also know how easy it is to keep walking on this path. Because this is your path, you created it, and you can change it the way you like, the way you need. Your path will always be changing, follow it, and your life will become filled with joy, gratitude, happiness and love.

GREEN COFFEE BEANS

WATER

As much as I love the smell of freshly made coffee, I had to stopped drinking it about 2 years ago. My body would go on ups and lows and by bedtime it would be at the highest peak, making it impossible for me to sleep.

We keep hearing and reading over and over again how important is to consume water to help our body to function at its best. It is recommended to consume at least 2 litres of water per day, I usually have that by the time I finish my training early in the mornings, is my favorite drink

I had to find an alternative, so I tried a supplement containing mainly green coffee beans and....woooohooooo!!! My energy levels are amazing and they stay at the same level for the whole day and by the time my head touches the pillow, I’m asleep like newborn baby. I also discovered that Green Coffee Beans are rich in anti oxidants, which can help reduce the damaging effects of radicals on our body and take care of our overall health. Green Coffee Beans can also help boosts the metabolism, burn extra fat, surpress appetite, treat diabetes, reduce level of bad cholesterol, helps improve blood circulation, can be used for natural detoxification, as an energy booster, to enhance your immune system and...you’ll love this, helps slow down the appearance of signs of ageing. AMAZING!

Here I name just a few of its benefits: Increases energy and relieves fatigue. Promotes weight loss. Maintains digestive regularity. Boosts immune system. it's a natural headache remedy. Prevents cramps and sprains and for those worried about their skin,helps improve skin complexion and health.

So...DRINK MORE WATER!

CHARD: Chard contains 3 times the recommended daily intake of vitamin K and 44 percent of the recommended amount of vitamin A. This vegetable is thought to help combat cancer, reduce blood pressure, and enhance performance in sports. Loaded with vitamin K which is known to help reduce risks of osteoporosis. BEETS: Beets: The beet is a bulbous, sweet root vegetable that most people either love or hate. It’s not new on the block, but it’s risen to superfood status over the last decade or so. Research shows drinking beetroot juice may benefit your health. Beetroot juice may help lower your blood pressure. Researchers found that people who drank 8 ounces of beetroot juice daily lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Nitrates, compounds in beetroot juice that convert into nitric acid in the blood and help widen and relax blood vessels, are thought to be the cause. According to a small 2012 study, drinking beetroot juice increases plasma nitrate levels and boosts physical performance. Potassium is a mineral electrolyte that helps nerves and muscles function properly. If potassium levels get too low, fatigue, weakness, and muscle cramps can occur. Very low potassium may lead to life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms. Beet juice provides vitamin C, potassium, folate, supports your liver and may even help reduce cholesterol!

AMANDA ROSE

Amanda, you now have a very successful business... Did you always believe that you were going to be where you are today or did you have times when you were just about to say f@ck it but kept going anyways? When I wasn't as successful as Brittany Spears and a Millionaire by age 16, I thought I was a massive failure. I have always had HUGE aspirations. I still do, and I'm coming to realize patience. I certainly didn't picture this is where I'd be in my life, ever really, because I used to envision a very different life. I've learned to lean back and let the Universe lead me. Sometimes what we think we want VS what we'd really love are two wholly different things. I had big things to overcome, mostly being broke as a joke for most of my 20's; I mean, really broke. We made our own bread because buying the loaf was too expensive kind of broke. I got frustrated often, and upset at not being further along, and while sometimes I wondered if it would ever really happen, throwing in the towel was never a real option.

What was the driving force that helped you stay focused and motivated to achieve your dream business and life. I have a mission, a purpose, that resonates through my soul; I've always known it since my youth. I'm here on this planet at this time to help usher in the age of Aquarius. I'm here to help shift human consciousness to create soulful abundance through mindset practices. I'm here to shift the way humanity thinks. I will be fulfilling this mission in this life until my last breath.

What do you love the most about your business?... And do you have a least favorite part? I love being creative. I love getting to share ideas and open up someones mind to a new way of thinking. I can get totally lost for hours working on building a new course, or working on a new book. I also love love love the sales process. Helping someone take that leap to invest in themselves is so exciting! My least favorite, hmm. I'd say probably the paperwork. Now that my company is incorporated having to do the nitty gritty filing is a bit annoying, but it's not really that bad.

If ou could tell your younger entrepreneur self a great advice to get started on your business... What would that be? MASTER YOUR MINDSET AND YOU MASTER YOUR LIFE.

a day in the life of Amanda Rose Well now that everyone is stuck at home during COVID most people are living it, haha! I am a total hermit, I love being at home. Typically my day begins when I wake up around 8 or 9am with coffee, tea, personal development reading, gratitude, visualization, affirmations, and a good workout. Then I typically work from 12pm to 4pm on my business. My days shift around depending on when I have calls or podcast interviews. My main work involves creating new content, sales calls, client calls, connecting with new people via social media, and some back-end business (aka the paperwork!). My evenings are a lot of netflix binging and video game playing while cuddling with one of our 3 cats!

The House in my Head “You’re cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you’re stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever. It’s now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you, but now you’ll never know.” ― Jerry Spinelli

I think of my brain as a house, one with many hallways, each holding multiple doors and lots of windows. In the middle of this house is a huge library. This is where most of the information lives, but if I can’t access something I know that I know, I figure I must’ve left the memory book in one of the rooms with a locked door to which I’ve temporarily misplaced the key. The house in my head is like one of those big, old mansions with colourful wallpaper, chandeliers, and grand sweeping staircases with big bannisters perfect for sliding down. The library is massive with shelves so high you have to fly up to reach the ones at the top.There is a huge old wood table where my ladies and I meet to air our thoughts for the big decisions.

For the most part I love the house in my head. There are beautiful memories, an abundance of knowledge, and a whole bunch of adventure to be had in there. But sometimes that house in my head turns into a house of horrors. I can usually feel when the house starts to shrink in on itself. It’s when the loop of perpetual bullshit starts. Everything gets dark. I’ve got one desk, one small lamp, and one book. I read the samewords over and over and over again. As I read, the ink gets darker and darker. Often the stories I read are ones that are made up. They’ve never happened and will never happen, but for some reason I’m stuck reading the book.

In the house of horrors, this is the room where Anxiety lives. Anxiety LOVES company and will do anything to keep me stuck in that suffocating room, strengthening her stories. The stronger they are,the more pull they have. It’s hard to get up from the desk. Lucidity is afraid of the dark and so she’s hiding in a corner with her eyes closed until the lights come back on. The only problem is that she’s the only one who can help me get out of the chair. Gah, I’ve gotten ahead of myself. Hold that thought and let’s come back to it later. For now, I want to tell you why the house in my head is so important. With each new thought, memory or idea comes a new book for the shelf. The more of an impact the moment has or the number of times I revisit the thought or idea, the stronger the ink becomes in the book. If it’s a passing thing the ink fades over time and the book can be written over.

The ink in some books has already been brought to full opacity either before I knew it or by my subconscious. These words are there, but I don’t have to let them inform my life. I just need to recognize when they are pulling me out of the moment and into the past. Or when Anxiety is drawing me into a perpetual loop of bullshit and worry over future events that will probably never, ever happen. This is when living in the moment comes in. The books with the strongest link are the ones that are written when we’re fully and completely in the present moment. Often these are the ones when we aren’t holding ourselves back from experiencing the Solo-kitchen-dance-party-

inspiring moment. These are the moments when we are so immersed in the action as it’s happening that neither Anxiety or the Daydreamer can pull us out..

DAYDREAMER I need to devote a little bit of time, thought and energy to talking about Daydreamer. I really love the Daydreamer in me. She takes me to some pretty amazing places and she’s a great storyteller! She makes my world exciting on the days when it’s not so great. Daydreamer is the one who helps me figure out all of the awesome ideas. When I’m bored she is there to keep me inspired. Sorry Albert, but I would argue that boredom rather than necessity is actually the mother of all invention. I have to be honest, I haven’t invented anything like the lightbulb or the telephone but when I’m bored, little miss Daydreamer and I come up with some pretty great ideas. She inspires a ton of creativity, and for the most part creativity is the one thing in life that makes sense to me. You’ll probably hear me say that a lot. I believe it to be true. Creativity and love, those are the things that get me up in the morning. Daydreamer gives me so much of those things, mostly because Daydreamer believes in me the most. Daydreamer has me up on stages, selling millions of books, dancing in front of adoring audiences, all because she believes I can do it. I love her for it. The problem with Daydreamer is that she doesn’t have the insight to know when she should let me stay in the moment. Like when I'm learning something important

that would really help me out in the future. I might still be bored in the moment, but I should probably be paying attention. Just like all of us here on earth Daydreamer is flawed, and I’m okay with it. I’ve learned to work with her. After four decades I can recognize when I need to ask Daydreamer to leave me alone or when I could use her help. Yes, use her help. You see Daydreamer doesn’t always take me out of the moment, sometimes she helps me create a moment. Sometimes she IS the moment. Like right now, as I write this, Daydreamer is right here with me cheering me on. She is helping me imagine an audience of readers who are excited to be on this page. She is reminding me that there is a daydreamer in all of us who is neither bad nor good but has the ability to inspire greatness.

I love my Daydreamer and now that we have a good understanding of when we need to be together in the moment, we are an unstoppable force. What would you create if you let your daydreamer take part in the moment once in a while? I imagine it would be incredible.

ANXIETY “LET EVERYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU BEAUTYAND TERROR JUST KEEP GOING NO FEELING IS FINAL” ― RAINER MARIA RILKE Anxiety, quite frankly, is a bit of a bitch. Most of the time I get where she is coming from, and I try to understand her, but a lot of the time I try to lock her in a room down the deepest, darkest hallway. I’m sure this isn’t healthy, and I should be much more accepting of her, because as we all know, what we resist… persists… right?! Yeah…yeah…yeah… I do believe that’s true, in fact I know it’s true because I’ve witnessed it my own life. And yet I still can’ bring myself to like her. Anxiety drives me absolutely bonkers and I have a very hard time forgiving her for the constant and never-ending loops of bullshit she sends me on. Every time it happens, I hate her just a bit more. You’re probably noticing as you’re reading this that I’m no expert on Anxiety. Actually, I might be one of the furthest things from it. You might be wondering then why I felt I could write about it? Well… because sometimes I believe it’s good to talk about the things you are still working on when you’re working on them. So. let me start by explaining what the loop of bullshit feels like to me.

It starts with a mild feeling of worry about a situation or a person in the real world. I’ve come to recognize the early signs and so Anxiety has got to be quick. She ramps things up by taking a potentially realistic concern and turning it into a ridiculous scenario. The scenario plays itself before I can stop it. I think to myself, “That is absolutely ridiculous, that’ll never happen, ever.” The scenario plays again and I try to change the ending. It starts off well but quickly turns back to darkness and despair. I make it stop. The scenario starts again. I can’t change it. I’m stuck in one small room. Lucidity has run away. I’m on my own stuck in Anxiety’s loop of bullshit. This loop of bullshit removes me from the moment unlike Daydreamer ever could.

ANXIETY TAKES AWAY MY ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE JOY. ANXIETY TAKES AWAY MY ABILITY TO EXPERIENCE HAPPINESS. ANXIETY TAKES AWAY MY ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE ON ANY LEARNING. ANXIETY TAKES AWAY MY ABILITY TO SEE NEW OPPORTUNITIES. ANXIETY TAKES AWAY MY ABILITY TO SEE THE GOOD IN MYSELF.

It’s in that dark, little space that I start to lose pieces of myself and the more I get stuck in there the easier it is to go back.

How do I pull myself out of Anxiety’s loop of bullshit? The honest answer is, sometimes I can’t. I’m still learning and finding the things that work for me. But here are a few things I do to help myself get out of Anxiety’s dark room of horror: I put on music that makes me want to move my body. And then I dance. I let out my feelings through movement. I don’t judge how I move. I just let go. Usually this happens in my kitchen. This is different than the Solo-kitchen-dance-partyinspiring moment. At first it may feel forced, unnatural and awkward. The music isn’t always happy. Sometimes I just need to cry and so I put on music that will help me do that. I move in ways that help me release emotion. I know, I know it sounds weird to some of you. But it’s very cathartic. It helps pull my focus to the present moment. I write. I don’t want to write about the worry that has brought me to the small, dark room. I begin by writing out affirmations that make me feel good and remind me why I’m awesome. I also write to remind myself that my life is important. Sometimes, I need to remind myself that I am a good person, not the angry, horrible one Anxiety would have me believe. I get creative. For me this means either writing fictional stories filled with wonder and magic or painting abstract landscapes of magical universes. But for you it can be anything that opens your mind up to new thought patterns: buying an outfit that makes you feel amazing, learning a new cookie recipe, or maybe knitting a scarf. It doesn't matter what form your creativity takes as long as it brings you joy and back to the goodness in yourself. I meditate… okay… well… I’m learning to meditate. I am no master. But who is when they first start? Creating a silent space for yourself within your own mind is magical work that takes practice.

RED LIPSTICK AND NAILS If you ever feel down, this is a girl's best remedy! Just like Marilyn and Audrey Hepburn, make up is a girl's best friend!

MAKE A NEW FRIEND There is someone out there for everyone, no matter how crazy or different you might think you are...Trust me, there is someone in the world that feels the same way you do. SOUL SISTERS!

ME DAY! Phone and laptop off for a whole day, and if you dare to take it to the next level...Leave it at home while you go for a walk or hang out with a friend. Be present!

DECLUTTER Let go of the things that don't serve you anymore. Like when you're trying to convince a friend that you can help them and they disregard your comments, let it go. Be there in a different way, not as the one that says "I told you so" but the one who knows what it feels like.

GRATITUDE Be grateful for being alive, for being you and having choices. Be grateful for the air you breathe, the food you eat, the life you live! Be grateful for being loved!
