How to Live Your Purpose with Baiba Wisse
In today's episode, I chat with Baiba Wisse, host of the Life in Technicolor podcast, about living your purpose and why expressing our Soul's essence, including through writing, is so essential to living our lives with integrity and authenticity.About Baibe: Baiba Wisse is the Live In Technicolor Podcast host and creator of The Era of You ™ method mentoring women to find & activate their unique purpose, life, and create their highest timeline. Baiba spent decades checking the external boxes while her essence, enthusiasm and energy were slowly dimming. She also felt drained, stressed, and feelings of anxiety and overwhelm were constant companions not leaving her side despite the mindset, growth and self help work she was doing. All of this kept pushing her to seek for answers and solutions that would actually change her day to day experience. She became relentless about reigniting the connection with her own essence and creating work and life that is energizing, nourishing, life giving and also fun. Her mission is to inspire and guide others who feel the call on their heart that there must be something more to work and life than living only for weekends and vacations. You’re powerful, magnificent, and the magic is inside of you!

As a self-love coach, this is embarrassing to admit, but...
(Listen to audio or read, below.) As a self-love coach, this is embarrassing to admit, but sometimes, I really do hate myself. Not just what I do or don’t do… I mean, there are times when I really do hate who I am. And it’s real. And it hurts. It’s painful. But I share this with you because I value honesty and vulnerability. I value truth telling - even (and especially) when it’s hard. I focus my coaching on self-love because, believe it or not, it’s something I know an awful lot about. Because actually, I do love myself - unconditionally. I do have the power and the experience of looking at the self-loathing, accepting it as a valid part of my experience, and feeling it melt back into a deep, reverential love for myself. All of this is to say that if you ever find yourself stuck in a cycle of self-loathing and shame, it’s okay. We all do sometimes. And, there’s a way I’ve found of quickly shifting back to self-love and truly living from that loving place. For me, when I’m able to stay in self-love and make plans and take action from that space, that’s when my life changes for the better. That’s when I’m able to write my first book, launch my business, and take better care of myself. I call it my Self-Love Visioning process - the signature process I’ve created based on my years of experience with mastering how to love myself unconditionally (even when I didn’t feel like it) and making that the fuel for creating the reality I really want. If you’d like to lean how I can help you love yourself so much that you can’t help but go all in on the things you really want to create in your life, message me on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/amyhartsoughink/) and I’ll send you details about my current 1:1 offers. I love you! This is a public episode.

How to Keep Surrendering When Life Won't Let Up
When faced with a challenging situation, we’re often told to surrender it to our higher power. But what does that really mean? Culturally, at least in the U.S., we tend to view surrender as waving the white flag and admitting defeat. But from a spiritual perspective, surrender is much different. It’s not about giving up our power, it’s about giving the situation over to Source or the universe. When we fully surrender, we stop resisting our current circumstances, we stop grasping onto our desired outcome, we release control, and accept the present moment just as it is….
