The Inspired by Purpose Podcast with Dr. Azi Jankovic

We hear the word ‘insight’ in the world of meditation, mindfulness, personal growth, and spirituality. But, what is it, and how can we utilize its power in our lives?

There are deep explanations in Kabbalah of what ‘insight’ is, how we access it, and what it can help us with, and that’s what today’s convo is all about.

Here’s a rundown of the Episode:

In the first eleven minutes, you’ll hear the inspiration for this episode, and a brief overview of what we’re delving in to. You’ll hear about the new addition to Azi’s family (surprise!) AND a bit about her new masterminding program for women. (Female entrepreneurs or up-and-coming entrepreneurs - this is for YOU!)

Next, you’ll meet “The Millennial Rabbi,” aka Rabbi Daniel Bortz, who shares a unique perspective on what insight is, and how we can experience a flash of understanding as well as how we can incorporate it into our lives to live inspired.

Interestingly, the Torah teaches that women were the last living being created - according to the creation story. As such, women are literally the ‘crown of the creation,’ and it is taught that women have an extra measure of Insight.

Millennial Rabbi shares his personal spiritual awakening story, and we delve into several other avenues of how to access insight and spiritual connectedness in all that we do.

Ask yourself: what do you want your picture of health to look like?

With all that's happening in the world around us, its easy to let self-care practices fall by the wayside.

In this episode with board certified Integrative Health Coach Nomi Levy, you'll learn why self care is the foundation of establishing and maintaining lifelong health.

Nomi explains the importance of being an active partner in your healing process - whether you're looking to get in shape or upgrade your overall health, your success will be based on how actively involved and 'on board' you are with the plan.

She explains that a diet is comprised of more than food - what we eat and our daily habits for mind and spirit are all inter-related components in our long term health and wellness.

She advocates for making food choices that will feed the brain and body, and that are also delicious and enjoyable to eat.

You'll hear about:

how to enjoy meal times by focusing on more than just the food you'r eating

how to get creative and be flexible with food choices while you're trying to adhere to your health plans

-how the act of re-engaging with that plan over time will create consistency and the results that you're seeking - for life.

-the importance of lowering stress in regulating the body's natural ability to function and the brain's ability to be calm and creative

And you'll also hear Azi's 'wellness journey' story of implementing some of the mindset shifts that she learned from Nomi over the past two years, as well as how making some basic and very enjoyable upgrades with food have been beneficial for her mind, body, and spirit.
