This month’s WOW is Elise Krentzel who is a living testament of how you are the driver in your life and when you encounter change such as divorce, midlife crisis or change of career, your inner resources will help with the transition. Once you install the correct beliefs and coordinates you’ll have all the tools you need yo set your Life GPS

Tell me a little about you, your lifestyle and what you are passionate about?I’m passionate about raising my son, enjoying nature, writing, people and all the arts – performing, visual and plastic.

So tell me about your business, who/what is LifeGPS all about? I founded & created LifeGPS, an integrated coaching system of freedom for body, heart & mind because of all the suffering and powerlessness I found in people, even so-called powerful people.

I wanted to give them a product to help them free their small mindedness as they went through mid-life crisis, divorce, career change, stress or indecision making.

What inspired you to make the decision to create your own business? This is my 3rd business. What inspired me for LifeGpS was my the disharmony in my life. My husband and I split and after a hiatus of 7 years, raising my son and having sold my former publishing company, I needed to get on my feet again.

Has there always been a burning desire inside you to create this, or did your business evolve from your original idea?

My businesses have always evolved from original ideas. I specialize in taking abstract concepts and making them practical. Delivering ideas to form.

What did/do you find to be the most challenging part of your business? Having no funds to begin with. What have you learned about yourself during the process of setting up your business?

Patience is a virtue. Belief in myself and product offerings will get me through the toughest of times. Not allowing anyone or anything to get me off course. Taking time to get clear on who my clients are is crucial to attracting those clients. The knowledge I had about technolgy was 10 years old.

What advice would you give someone considering starting their own business?

First go with your passion, whatever that is. Do not allow the competition, a  perceived lack of resources or skills hinder you. Develop your concept to the finest detail.

What products and services do you provide? I offer transformational coaching packages in person or Skype, an at home course book, downloadable meditation CDs and retreats in the USA and abroad.

What is the greatest success story for your business? The healing, rejuvination and enthusiastic lives of my clients. Please see the Gratitudes page of my website http://174.120.60.226/~elise/gratitudes/

Unsilencing Myself By Tracie Nichols

Posted on by
Reply

It’s nearly 10 a.m. on Monday morning and usually by now this article would have long since been published. I stopped myself from writing it at least three times since Friday.

There’s some BIG irony in play here…

For weeks, months even, I’ve been spouting on about speaking out for what matters, raising our voices, taking a stand … yada, yada… and here I am silencing myself. Too funny.

So what’s the (gasp!) awful thing I didn’t want to say?

I wanted to tell you that I was inspired by the power of two women’s voices to encourage you, once again, to raise your own voice.

Why was this not a good thing?

Because I was worried I might be – you know – annoying. I might irritate someone because I’m speaking out more than once for something. That I’m being passionate - and maybe a little louder and more insistent than I might usually be.

That’s it. That’s what stopped me. I didn’t want my passionate belief that women’s voices are essential to annoy you. (Please, feel free to roll your eyes. I am.)

Here’s the perfect example of how the warped sacred masculine (patriarchy, power-over, dominator paradigm) lives in me. How it’s in my beliefs and behaviors so deeply that, despite everything I know and all the work I’ve done, it can still seep out and taint my confidence.

(deep breaths….many….)

So, how did I realize what was happening?

Curiosity. Mindful awareness. Knowing myself. Remembering the texture and taste of the limiting beliefs I’d been force-fed.

I was willing to wonder why. Not just assume that it wasn’t meant to be, or Spirit didn’t want me to, or it was a stupid idea anyway. I got curious about WHY.

I listened to myself, gently, and realized what was happening. Then I rolled my eyes, smacked myself in the head and judged myself a bunch. And then I stopped. Because that’s never helpful and it’s just feeding into the whole dominator thing again.

Because I thought you might relate, I thought I’d share the whole experience with you. For most of us the seeds of silencing are planted deep and it takes a few (OK – sometimes many) reminders to be aware of them.

So, here’s another reminder…

Be curious. Be present, mindful, aware. Know yourself. Be willing to ask “Why?” Be willing to listen to yourself with as little judgement as possible.

“I walked into my dream!”

This Week’s #WOW is Regina Reiter is a forgiveness expert and She helps woman choose a path to access their dream. A specialty is helping women over 50 accomplish their dream of hiking the Appalachian Trail. The timing of this interview is perfect as my big brother has just embarked on his own pilgrimage walking the camino de santiago from the south of France and traveling the breadth of Northern Spain. In life our memories and emotions often weave together and become tightly bound waiting for an opportunity to be released. What Regina offers is a pure gift of goodness to help release those tightly bound emotions of hurt and pain from our past.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; meanwhile you are the one getting burned.Buddha

Tell me a little about you, your lifestyle and what you are passionate about? First of all, thanks for your interest in me and Forgiveness Walks.  It’s my pleasure to share this with you!

I’m 58 years young, and just beginning my new lifestyle. I call it “hiking lifestyle”. My former lifestyle was based on my role as mom at home for three wonderful adult sons, all born at home and homeschooled. That lifestyle ended five years ago, when I discovered that when I’m hiking on trails, there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing. Now, I’m making a transition to being out on trails where I can stay out for months at a time, immersing my senses in Nature and walking in service to others.  Since turning 50, I’ve walked over 5,000 miles on long distance hiking trails like the Appalachian Trail. I’m also passionate about sharing the amazing, practical tools of Radical Forgiveness to create a joyful world filled with people who love fearlessly.

So tell me about your business, who is Forgiveness Walks all about?  Forgiveness Walks is all about women over 50 who have selflessly and tirelessly supported others for decades and who yearn to fulfill their own adventurous dream, whether it’s close to home or on distant paths.  They feel exhausted and emptied, even resentful of the very people they have always served with love. They yearn to walk, to walk in Nature for rejuvenation to their core. They long to retune their heartstrings and express their buried joy, to reawaken their generous hearts with fearless self-love. When they do, they Continue reading →

I have been wanting to feature Allison since I first started this series of Interviews way back at the beginning of the year and she was one of the first women I asked as I love what she does. So we finally got our schedules synched and am so happy to be able to share her wisdom with you all. She empowers women to get their sexy on in and out of the bedroom.

Allison Braun AKA The bedroom Joyologist Tell me a little about you , your lifestyle and what you are passionate about?
Well, I am 27 years old and spend the majority of my time learning, hanging out with my
husband (just got married last year), masterminding and brainstorming with other
like-minded women while eating and drinking delicious things, reading, spending time outdoors (especially around water), and talking with pretty much anyone about sexuality, relationships, and business.

I like to keep a lot of free time, but I find as an entrepreneur that I enjoy working too much!

I am very passionate about creating a safe space for women to connect, share, and be them sexuality and all!

So tell me about your business, what is Allison Braun – The Bedroom Joyologist all about?
I help women (often with a conservative or religious background) let go of sexual suppression and guilt so they can start living fully expressed – sexuality and all both in and out of the bedroom. Once they start being Continue reading →

When I met my husband 11 years ago I longed for a different life. We left Sweden together and first moved to Paris and then to the South of France. We now live in a small village surrounded by beautiful mountains and olive trees. My life today is my Dream Life! I really enjoy my simple everyday life and at the same time I am so lucky to have my Dream Job, doing intuitive readings and running workshops and e-courses teaching others how to communicate with their spirit guides.

Empowered By India to Unlock Your Inner Freedom

When you are challenged to re-think how your life will work out oftentimes the choice becomes so overwhelming you start doubting yourself and your abilities to create the life you want and deserve. What Shanthi’s story illustrates is how its possible despite huge challenges like leaving your support network behind, making difficult decisions which in the short term are quite painful.  Listening to your heart and trusting your intuition as Shanthi did will allow you to step into who you were born to be and shine the light on your purposeful path.

Tell me a little about you , your lifestyle and what you are passionate about? My name Shanthi means “peace”. I was named so by my late father who was my ideal, my role model and my Guru. I was born & raised in India, which is the spiritual leader of the world.

In my early teens I was introduced to spirituality, Yoga philosophy and training in Indian classical dance.

Though I completed my degree in Engineering securing first rank in my university, my father envisioned that I would be a better teacher than an engineer. He was so right…

I taught in an Engineering college for some time, then worked in software, then came to USA for another software job. But now, I am in my own business.

I come from a lineage of Enlightened saints and Gurus. I have mastered the ancient, time-tested holistic  tools from a young age and have applied these teachings in my own life when I came to USA 16 years back as a single mom with my 1 ½ year old daughter.

 

I lead a simple and holistic lifestyle and I only teach what I practice.

I love hiking, camping, dancing, chanting, speaking in Sanskrit, cooking, travelling and teaching.

I am passionate about sharing the ancient Indian wisdom, handed down to me in pristine pure form with people of all ages.

I am also passionate about Continue reading →
