#18- Power of Authenticity with Jenn Blosil from American Idol

08/21/18 • 39 min

Jenn Blosili is one of the top 14 American Idol finalist and she just released her latest single “Hope Runs Wild.”

She's a musician. She is one of the most real authentic genuine humble loving people that I've met. I mean that sincerely. And that's why I had to have her on this podcast.

She's an amazing artist and singer. I would say I'm so excited for you to feel her spirit and hear her speak.

She talks about authenticity, the benefits of being authentic, choosing to accept your uniqueness, how your "weakness" is actually your strength when you work with others, and how she chose to become a better person in the midst of hardships.

Here are some of the things you will hear:

[00:01:39] Did it make you better? Did I make you better? And that's a choice that we all get to make in scenarios of who are we going to choose to play the victim and blame other people for our unfortunate circumstances or.

[00:01:53] Do we get to recognize that we're really powerful that we have the capacity for change within us and we can make things happen because we're powerful children of God that I deeply believe.

[00:03:35] And I woke up the next morning and I was like Oh easy choice I'm going to choose a girl who cares about me as a friend. I don't care about being popular. So I decided that I would be social suicide. I didn't care I just wanted to be true to myself and be friends with nice people because being quote unquote popular was way overrated.

[00:04:09] I just feel like our life is full of choices and we get to make choices to either honor who we are and at some point if we don't we'll be carrying a lot of stress and weight in and it's hard. Like I would say that choosing to honor yourself in the beginning is a really courageous choice but then it becomes easy and it becomes a no brainer. And there's such freedom in that happiness and fulfillment.

[00:09:09] You are a sacred being. And the things that you put out into the world are sacred and beautiful. And I think what's cool for me at least is when I'm creating. I just say that it's my spirit communicating that I have to create because I have to be able to communicate in the in the purest way that I know how and I do it for myself. And I think there's always going to be this fear.

[00:10:04] And I think having the freedom to create starts with also the daily decisions to love yourself. And I know people talk about that all the time like love yourself but really they really sit down and be conscious about the fact that you're amazing. Write a list of things you love about yourself, unique gifts and talents you have.

[00:12:11] Yes. I also say to you that our weaknesses can be our greatest strength. I feel like so look at those things that maybe I'm like I'm scatterbrained and like oh that means you can connect a lot of different dots and your brain is able to process a lot of information all at once you know that. I think that's been something cool for me too is things that maybe I'm insecure about. I've flip the coin too.

[00:13:13] If there's something in your life that you feel insecure about or that you say is a weakness look for ways they can flip and turn it into a strength.

[00:16:25] And I think when I understand that I was doing something wrong that kept me from fuller feeling of joy and contentment. I can be excited about cool times going to pass anyway so I might as well do this hard step that's going to enable me to receive greater light and abundance and joy and happiness. And I look at it with joy.

[00:16:48] I think shame comes into the picture where when we acknowledge that we've done something wrong or did something bad we'll want to feel stupid and I just think those emotions are not productive. They don't get you anywhere. They're not. And so I've made a conscious effort to acknowledge Oh I do have this shortcoming crap and then just say Cool but now that I'm aware of this I can change it and I can I can add more light to my life.

[00:21:51] I will say that when you choose to be yourself you're going to have experiences that will continue to fortify that decision.

[00:26:36] I'm good. And then it was just this joy and excitement of grace. So this show is hard for me. I didn't really fit in on this show. Now I can go take all the skills that I learned from this uncomfortable experience and apply it to what I am good at and go do what I am good at and be even more vibrant as myself because I honor that and I acknowledge that. And so I will say that.

PRS will highlight his unique innovative HighVibe frequency charged messages through Motivational Speaking/Singing/Rapping/Songwriting/Energy Healing & Prayer.

PRS is blessed with a plethora of talents, one of them being an artist who is a consummate performer, but an even more willfully gifted Healer.

Here are few of the clips that will help you start connecting with your true self.

[00:05:14] It's the absolute truth because wherever you are in your so-called struggle your struggle is like I always use the analogy of the gym. Your struggle is like that you go to the gym you work out 48 hours later you don't know which part you worked on. You got to be a bit sore if you did it right. Right. And that's okay because when the soreness goes away you know you feel stronger and that's why you're going through what you're going through. Everyone heals stronger no matter what we do. [26.4]

[00:06:16] I mean everybody tries to do it but you have to be the person that you are in the shower because the universe deals which you view your fingerprints the universe only knows you by that. [11.6]

[00:08:36] Things can happen to you. And that voice, that's been the same voice since you were a little kid. It did not mature, get younger, older or changes. The same voice, exactly I have the same voice in me too. [11.8]

[00:10:19] I'm just making myself an available vessel for the wisdom that we need to be able to navigate the world life a bit easier. It's not as hard as we've been told that it is. That's a lie. [12.5]

[00:12:37] I learned to be in connection with the universe itself. I do not argue or fight with what is. That's what- what is. You can't do anything about what is what you can do something about how you deal with what is. You only focus on what you want. That's it. [17.8]

[00:15:07] And I want everyone to know that you know when I say said a prayer because the prayers between you and the universe merrily you just got to see my relationship with the universe with saws so that God to me is the creation of all things. So I usually just say source because I'm saying the source of all creation. [21.5]

[00:15:56] Things are not here to challenge you they're here to show you how much you've grown. All that practice you were doing when the situation shows itself. You're not supposed to do the same behavior you've been doing because you're going to get the same result. You have to do the new behavior that you've been practicing. [16.0]

[00:16:18] Listen, get your love and your blessings from source,from the universe. When you bless people don't stand over them like you owe me back right now because you going to get just what they owe you back. But if you allow the universe to bless you back,you get that a million fold. Trying to teach you how to navigate life easier. [21.8]

[00:00:54] Children just trust them full faith and they're living right in the moment. They could care less what's for dinner. They don't care about what's happening in two hours they don't even know that two hours later exists. All they know is right now because that's all there is. Everything else exists in our mind.

[00:01:09] And what I was saying about the 300 million is this. If you and I teamed up against 300 other teams and we won the race, what would we do - we celebrate right. So if you beat out 300 million people to be born shouldn't this be a celebration? I'm just saying in this life be a full blown celebration. Think about it. Right? [36.3]

[00:03:48] So my manager and business partner just introduced me to this concept that no matter what I do I have to have a clear intent why I'm doing it and as I was the most it was like the missing piece to my puzzle. Because I know that everything is perspective. However you believe it is or should be that's how it's going to be all about perspective. [23.8]

[00:04:46] Why am I doing this podcast today? One because I love what Henry stands for. I love what he's done with his life and I want to be a part of that. But it's the exact same thing that I stand for. I want to be able to share my life with the world because like I said I've gone through it for us and I'm sharing it. But I'm also living my life in the light. Because before the high vibe tribe th...
