Limitless Life

What does your dream life look like?

What clothes are you wearing? What car are you driving? Where do you spend a majority of your time? What do your relationships look like? How are you feeling about yourself day in and day out?

Now let me ask you this... is this the life you’re currently living?

If it’s not - that’s OK!

The truth is, it can feel difficult to live the life we truly desire - especially if we’re not living authentically.

But it doesn’t have to actually BE difficult. In fact, living a sensational life full of abundance, alignment and self-love can happen quickly if you know how to step into your power.

In this episode Gala Darling - best-selling author, speaker, and professional optimist - shares her journey of self-expression and empowers you to live a life of abundance simply by being authentic to you.

She’s been transforming the lives of women for nearly a decade with her teachings of self-love, manifestation and self-empowerment.

Welcome back to Limitless LifeTM! I know it’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve last chatted, but I decided to take two weeks off from promoting our podcast and sharing new episodes because I really wanted to give voice to the black educators and creators, especially during a time like this. This week won’t be the last time you hear me talk about Black Lives Matter, and you’ll hear how we as a team iare ncorporating anti-racism in our business moving forward (stay tuned for an episode coming next week to hear more on what we’ll be doing).

Today I’ve got a really special episode for you, which is an interview with a dear friend of mine named Allyson Byrd. We recorded this talk a couple of months ago now, but I’m really excited to share her wisdom with you, because Allyson is someone who has such a way with words and communication that she motivates the heck out of those who hear her!

If you haven’t heard of Allyson, she is also known as the “Profit AcceleratorTM,” and she is the first and only small business owner to create an international production house for thought leaders to be executive produced in publication, online platform expansion, and offline sales strategies. In the past 8 years of her being in business, Allyson has worked with over 3,000 entrepreneurial thought leaders, helping them create over $105 million in new revenue.

Our conversation here really centers around her thoughts and wisdom as it pertains to money and wealth, and as always, I was blown away by Allyson’s insights and expertise. I have feeling you are going to love what she has to say.

Hey, Limitless LifeTM family!

So I gotta be honest, today's coaching call might be one of my favorites. Maybe it's because I know today's coachee on a more personal level as someone in my mastermind. Over the past few months, I've been able to really see her blossom even more into her beautiful, bold self as a business owner, a mom, a woman, all the things. She's just an incredible person, and her name is Kelli.

Kelli was noticing that this fear kept creeping up that was holding her back, and she wanted to get some more support around how to move past this once and for all. This fear that was coming up, as you'll discover in today's coaching call, is that she would get tons of amazing comments from people on social media. Then every once in a while, Kelli would get a comment from somebody who she'd never even heard of telling her that she was a fraud or questioning whether what she's selling is a scam.

Often these are complete strangers on the internet who don't know her at all, and they're mixed in with tons of comments from people who absolutely love her work. But she was really letting these comments get to her head. Kelli revealed to me that in her family dynamic growing up, she got a lot of messages about needing to look like you have it all together. Needing to look perfect to everyone else out there, to not shine too brightly, to not take up too much space.

So as we navigate through today's coaching conversation, you'll get a glimpse into how your family dynamics and programming growing up (and even to this day) might be affecting your results in your business, causing you to hold yourself back in a really tragic way.

We create some solutions in today's episode so that you don't have to do that anymore. So that you can actually remove the programming and the conditioning that you learned a long, long time ago. So that you can really let yourself be seen for the imperfect but whole person that you are.

Stay tuned because this conversation is going to change you.

Let's dive in.

CHOCOLATE! It’s one of the most popular sweet treats all over the world — And I’d be surprised if you said you didn’t love to enjoy it from time to time... I know I do!

But why am I talking about chocolate right now?

Well, one of the main ingredients found in chocolate — cacao — has a LOT more benefits than you might think. It’s actually been used in sacred ceremonial settings since ancient times to enhance our connection to Mother Earth and invoke feelings of ecstasy.

In this week's episode author, founder, and “cacao goddess” Christine Hernandez shares the transformative powers of cacao and how you can incorporate this medicine into your own life.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why Christine says that cacao not only changed her life, but saved it [0:57]
• The way she came to realize that it was a big part of her ancestry and family history [4:12]
• What you can expect when taking the medicine, and what Christine’s own ceremony process looks like [7:48]
• Her thoughts on mainstream cacao, plus why it matters so much where your cacao comes from [13:41]
• The positive changes in the younger generation that Christine is seeing in terms of their knowledge of, and respect for, the medicine [26:36]
• How she is now making her Maltyox Method accessible to even more people [28:49]
• What Christine does to connect to her sensual, feminine, and divine self [30:28]
• Why allowing ourselves to play more is so important for each one of us [34:21]
• Exciting announcements Christine has about the republishing of her book [37:02]

You know when you connect with someone and you just GET each other? Well, that’s how I felt while chatting with Jessica. As a travel lover myself, I was super eager to chat with her and just learn more about her travels. Like, what did she learn from visiting every country on the planet? How did it feel as a single woman? And why is it particularly significant that she did it as the first black woman in history? Don’t you worry, we get into ALL of that in today’s episode!

But first, in case you’re unfamiliar with Jessica’s story, she’s a Detroit-born Ugandan-American who is on a mission to make the online travel space more inclusive. In addition to sharing her travels online, she’s also the founder of Jet Black, a boutique luxury travel firm, and The Catch, which features physical goods that Jessica acquired during her global adventures.

As you’ll discover in today’s conversation, she’s a firm believer in spreading cultural awareness and in helping people to think more positively about other cultures and people you may encounter. We had a great back-and-forth discussion in this episode, and I’m excited for you to listen. This woman has a lot of wisdom to share and I seriously appreciate her limitless outlook on the world. If you want to live a more unstoppable, adventurous, and positive life, then this episode is for you. Let’s do this!
