Surrendering Yourself to New Possibilities with Kute Blackson

Manifesting Joy : 52 Weeks of Hope

12/07/22 • 43 min

How do we remain open and available to the possibilities that life has to offer us?

It’s a question that we all fight to understand and unravel for our growth and transformation at one point or another. In today's episode, inspirational speaker, bestselling author, and self-help coach Kute Blackson is here to share how he embodies this vulnerability and openness.

"When we dare to follow our soul, when we follow our soul without compromise, I really believe that we will always end up in the right place and we’ll always be guided in the right path even though the route that we take may not be the one we most expect...” (7:22)

When Kute was growing up in Ghana, he was surrounded by the power of spirituality through his father’s role as the head of a collection of churches across the area; by the time he turned 14, he was ordained as a minister and on track to take over his father’s position. Although he has a huge heart for helping and supporting others, he knew his purpose was calling him away from Ghana and from the world he had always known.

“These great people, they all at some point, they surrendered themselves. They surrendered themselves to life. They surrendered themselves to a purpose bigger than themselves... In that surrender, they transcended their own human limitations... and they tap into another dimension of true potentiality, and life was able to use them...” (17:57)

Today, he discusses his journey to Los Angeles, writing his famous book The Magic of Surrender, how we can encourage our growth and transformation, and how he supports others on their unique journeys.

“Each and everyone of us has the power and the control to change ourselves.” (42:05)

In This Episode:

(1:16) Kute shares his upbringing and journey to Los Angeles
(11:23) How The Magic of Surrender came to be and what “surrender” means
(24:03) How we can encourage growth and transformation in ourselves
(31:21) The practice of creating time for yourself
(32:29) Kute shares how he moved through his greatest challenges
(38:43) Kute Blackson’s message of hope

Guest

Kute Blackson is an inspirational speaker, bestselling author, and self-help coach to a community of people across the globe. After growing up in Ghana, being deeply invested in the power of spirituality, and becoming ordained at 14, he decided to leave that path behind. As a young man, he traveled the world and made his way to Los Angeles, where he developed a business and wrote a book centered on assisting others in their journeys through life.

Tapping into Your Power: How to Use Intuitive Decision-Making to Navigate Life's Challenges with Lynn Robinson

Lynn helps you uncover your inner knowing. Learn how to tap into your intuition, amplify it, and nurture it so your inner-GPS navigates correctly, allowing you to manifest the abundance you deserve.

“I absolutely think we’re all hardwired with intuition, so all joking aside, I do think we have access to it, and I think it’s a deep inner wisdom, and I think we’ve forgotten how to listen to it.” – Lynn (1:38).

Ever feel like something keeps popping up in your life for some reason? Lynn reveals why these intuitive nudges may just be your cue to take action.

Uncover the secrets of distinguishing fear from genuine intuitive guidance and learn how the universe conspires in your favor as you trust your gut feelings. Learn from Lynn's expert techniques and personal anecdotes how to interpret the signs from the universe and how recurring intuitive nudges can show you the path forward.

Lynn’s an expert on intuitive thinking with a global following over the last 35 years. She’s the author of 7 books on intuition and her calling is to help people like you develop your intuitive muscles.

She reminds us to trust the universe, embrace your power, and take action on the nudges of your intuition.

“Intuition might come in an aha moment, a still quiet voice, it might be a whisper.” – Lynn, (2:48).

"It's just kind of putting the energy out towards what it is that you want. But again, you know, when you feel intuitively guided, if they feel uplifting or exciting or you're curious about them, those are the ones that intuition is guiding you towards." – Lynn, (10:27).

Lynn unveils how to discern your emotions with clarity. Learn to harness excitement and curiosity as beacons to your preferred destiny. Listen as Lynn and Lauren discuss the universe's invisible support system and the importance of trusting those internal prompts that incessantly steer you towards growth and success.

This episode is a beacon for anyone seeking to rise above the noise, embrace your innate wisdom, and live an aligned life.

"And the caveat I will say is that almost everybody tells me that they get scared trusting their intuition because it usually moves them out of their comfort zone. You know, end a relationship or begin a relationship or end a job or begin a job or do something new. That it always feels a little bit scary. And so that anxiety or that fear is not your intuition saying no. It's just a normal, you know, that's what happens when you're doing, when you do something new." – Lynn, (14:01).

“I realized I had been so focused on what I didn’t want, that thing that I was afraid of, that I hadn’t focused on what I really wanted.” – Lynn, (23:06).

Brace yourself for one of the most riveting guests you'll ever encounter as she enlightens you on the nature of intuition, the impact of spiritual guidance, and the beauty of embracing life's journey. Moreover, prepare to transform your mindset and welcome an era of positivity and fulfillment!

"When you have that kind of energy or that kind of determination, it's like the universe conspires to support you." – Lynn, (34:10)

Get ready to uncover your inner secrets, the courage to ask life's daring questions, and the thrill of trusting your inner guide. It's time to silence the critic within and amplify your intuitive voice to its maximum potential!

In this episode:

(2:15) – How to find joy with intuition.
(2:19) – The various ways intuition comes to you.
(2:43) – How you can “miss” your intuition and how to know when to listen.
(3:45) – Having “real” nurturing conversations with the universe.
(5:06) – Affirmations that work for you.
(6:49) – How to have the best mindset and what that is for you.
(7:35) – The danger of living in worst-case scenarios thinking.

Manifesting Joy : 52 Weeks of Hope

03/22/23 • 37 min

You can manifest a life of connection and greatness - sometimes, you just need a guide to help you on your journey.

This week, author, Ayurvedic teacher, and manifestation coach Latha Jay is that guide, teaching you the steps to manifest your life of greatness.

“And I think that really anybody can manifest anything they want. And one of the reasons I wrote this journal was so that people can understand that manifesting is innate. Everybody can do it. Anyone can do it. Everybody can do it. And I want to encourage people and empower them to do it.”
