From Burnout to Freedom | Ryan Hvizda on Resilient Leadership
06/06/24 • 56 min
"Resiliency is like am I living a life that if I have a setback it doesn't just knock me out? I can heal, move forward, and get past where I've ever been before." - Ryan Hvizda
This episode is a beautiful exploration of what happens when we let go of tension and discover our authentic selves. Ryan Hvizda shares her powerful journey from workaholic burnout to sustainable success through play, vulnerability, and inner healing. After hitting rock bottom with health challenges, financial debt, and business burnout, she completely transformed her life through silent meditation, surfing, and conscious leadership.
What struck me most was Ryan's wisdom about facing fear as a pathway to healing: "Fear comes from trying to control the uncontrollable." Her journey from ocean fear to becoming a badass surfer living in Barbados half the year is such a beautiful metaphor for what's possible when we release our grip on life.

Divine Feminine Power | Jen Briggs on Living Open to Love
"We are not just connected to the divine – your body, your cells, your DNA, your breath, your heartbeat, everything you are, IS the divine. You are remembering and being brought together." - Jen Briggs
My loves, this Mini Bang is all about living open to love – a practice I've been immersing myself in during a week of moving, grief around my dad's death anniversary, and physical exhaustion. I wanted to bring you what's real because the reclamation of the divine feminine isn't about perfection – it's about feeling ALL of life's textures and experiences fully.
I'm sharing three powerful reasons to re-member the feminine within you: First, it reconnects you to your intuitive, magnetic power – your true source of creation. Second, it creates that juicy, electric polarity in relationships (think of it as the captivating performance that holds attention). And third, it's part of a larger awakening happening across the globe – when we embody the sacred feminine, we literally bring heaven to earth.
What does feminine energy actually look like? She's embodied (fully present in her body), sensitive (which is her superpower, not her weakness), and naturally responsive to life's pleasure. This isn't just for women – this episode is for my male listeners too (25% of you)! We all contain both divine feminine and masculine energies.

When you are living in alignment with who you are, when you're living in your purpose and in your beingness, when you are in your Dharma, unapologetically out there in the world or out there in your way, that is super magnetic." - Jen
