From Party to Purpose Life: Your Soul Renovation with Ashley Neilson

07/13/22 • 47 min

Show Notes:

Eight years ago, Ashley Nielsen had what others told her was a great life. She had wealth, success, and a long-term partner. But something was missing. In this podcast, Ashley joins Samantha to talk about how she knew she was not living her purpose, how she filled the void within her, and how you can do the same. Learn why she deconstructed her life to build herself anew - aligned and deeply fulfilled.

The two discuss concepts like the “dark night of the soul,” “tower moments,” what an existential awakening looks like, and how to turn a potential breakdown into a breakthrough.

Ashley Neilsen is a realtor and serial entrepreneur. She has taken her realignment periods in life and turned them into successful businesses like Vain and Vine Wellness Corporation and Soul RenovationTM️, where she helps others discover what they want out of life and how to manifest it. She is a master of vision boards and amplifying the process of achieving goals.

Highlights in this Episode:
- Ashley discusses how she went from party life to purpose life and how it started with the book, A Course in Miracles.
- We either create with purpose, or we create by default; we are always creating.
- Ashley describes the importance of our words in creating the life we want and how words have vibrations that can either cause friction or be harmonious.
- We need to let go of things that are not a vibrational match to make room for the higher vibrations to enter.
- Learn how a near-death experience affected Ashley and how it inspired her to make the most of every second - it’s not in the way you might think!
- Why your vision board should become your game board; Ashley uses gamification to help people stay focused and play their goals through.
- Ashley talks about the “thought economy” and how we get a return on investment on our thoughts and habits.
- Everyone has a timer in their “game”/life. The sooner we get our habits in place, the sooner we can make our dreams happen.

Time is a commodity that is constantly moving, and if you step back and look at your life, do you think you’ll feel like you spent/invested your time well? What is your relationship with time?

In the past year and a half, there have been deep processes happening behind the scenes in Samantha’s life, and she has some serious lessons - particularly when it comes to time - that will be applicable to you, too!

How do you know if you are burned out or just tired? What does it look like to move on beyond burnout and truly increase your capacity so you can make the difference you desire in the world? In this episode, burnout expert and teacher of energy management, Emily Leahy, joins host Samantha to talk about how to get out of the cycle of “borrowing from tomorrow so we can get through today.”

Women tend to neglect their own needs to please and care for others, and when we don’t have space to hold more, we blunt our capacity to create. That’s why this episode is so important for women seeking to live in true alignment, make an impact in the world, and have the ability to grow personally and professionally.

Guest Emily Leahy is a speaker, writer, and serial entrepreneur. She has solved her burnout issue and unlocked her capacity to perform in an optimal flow state using unconventional methods. Listen in to learn how to ditch burnout, achieve flow and master your energy!

Highlights in this Episode:

Emily defines burnout. The term was coined in the ’70s and was considered “compassion fatigue,” mostly referring to those with careers helping others, like teachers or therapists. Now the term is more widespread.
Identify the physical and mental signs of burnout.
People have varying levels of burnout awareness. Some are sensitive to when they are mentally fatigued, and others only realize it once they experience a major health event.
Emily explains brainwave states and the levels of awareness, including delta, alpha, and theta, and their relationship to our mental well-being.
A catastrophic event like war (and even Covid!) puts people in survival mode, which can be a dangerous precursor to burnout if you don’t know how to regulate your nervous system.
Samantha and Emily discuss things you can do for energy management and how we can influence the space rather than the space influence us.
Emily explains how she can help shift and transform energy for those who can’t access it on their own.
She shares tools to get started with self-awareness, like journaling, and talks about meditation techniques/grounding techniques.
If we’re not attuned to our body, we can’t access our spiritual power and energy.
The two discuss “flow” as being an optimal state. To Emily, the flow should be our baseline. When you’re in flow, you’re accessing universal energy, allowing you to be more generous.
