I Heart My Life Show

Health challenges can be a big obstacle to face. They can make us feel depressed, frustrated, hopeless, and angry. And all those feelings are valid. After all, many of us take our health and bodies for granted. We move through life with easy, almost careless steps… until we don’t anymore. Many of us in the I Heart My Life community have faced a situation like this. And we’ve come out of it stronger and wiser. Someone who knows this better than anyone is today’s guest on the podcast, the brilliant Victoria Fenton. When Victoria was seventeen, she became unwell (or as she says, “violently sick on holidays,” which definitely describes what she went through much better). That one night when she was sick changed the course of her life forever. Because of that one night, she discovered Human Design and Gene Keys, dove deep into personal development, and became the amazing human being she is today. Tune in to this episode and listen as Victoria and I discuss a loooot of interesting stuff, from Human Design to moving

Here at the I Heart My Life community, we believe mental health should be a priority. Your mental health is one of the few things in life that you can’t ignore because the consequences of doing so are just too grave. You see, nothing matters more than your own personal joy and happiness. Not work, not money, nothing… And if anything, taking care of your mental wellbeing can help you grow in your professional life, even if you have to take a day to breathe every once in a while. Someone who knows this better than anyone else I know is the amazing Ashley Turner. Ashley is a longtime yoga meditation teacher and licensed psychotherapist. She’s been in private clinical practice for over a decade, and during the time, Ashley has combined yoga, meditation, and breath work with classical mental health psychology to help her clients. Ashley now primarily teaches yoga and meditation professionals how to incorporate more psychological work and exercises into their services. She also works with mental health professional

Friends, I want you to meet someone extra special today: Our beautiful, incredible daughter, Charlotte London Williams. She is truly a joy that’s been added to our lives. And I cannot describe how happy I am to be finally holding her in my arms. But today’s episode isn’t just about that. It’s also about what came before, our birth story. Before James and I talk about it, I want you to know that there is truly no right or wrong when it comes to how and where you choose to give birth. The story we share is ours and ours only, and even if yours is different, it is still valid. I had a pretty easy pregnancy and I chose to have a home birth. And trust me, it wasn’t without its surprises.  This is our story, so don’t take any of this on if you are expecting or planning to have children soon.  I truly just want this episode to be a safe space where I can share my experience and where you can too if you so choose. So, without further ado, let’s get to it!   In This Episode:  [00:00] Introduction

Have you ever wanted to do things differently? To not follow the rule book of life, but instead, be free to lead your life and your business or career in a way that works for you? I know many of us have this dream. We want to have it all: the successful business, the amazing family, the happy marriage, the perfect social life, etc… And I’m here to tell you that you can have it all. And you can be free. You don’t have to stick to the book or live your life by the set of rules society pushes on you. You can make your own rules, and you can achieve success and joy and happiness doing so. Don’t believe me? Well, lucky for you, I’ve invited someone who’ll help you leave your skepticism where it belongs; in the past. Her name is Jessica Caver Lindholm and she is one of my favorite people in the world. It’s funny though...when I first met Jess, she triggered me. She was so FREE. She was on her own schedule, didn’t care what people thought of her, charged what she wan

Everyone, I’ve got a secret I want to share with you: Hustle culture doesn’t work for women. I know, I know, who would’ve thought, right? Simply scroll through entrepreneur TikTok or your Instagram reels, and you’ll be bombarded with videos of people telling you you need to work more, hustle more, sleep less, and, under all of that… enjoy life less. Because, let’s be honest, if you’re always hustling, then you don’t really have time to enjoy yourself, take a nice warm bath to relax, play with your children, or spend quality time with your spouse, your friends, or your family. Women are always told they’re not doing enough.  But enough is enough (yes, I am putting. my. foot. down.) We can have it all, even if we don’t spend all of our lives praying at the hustle altar. Someone who is the embodiment of this (and who has achieved sooooo many things without having to sacrifice her soul to hustle culture) is this week’s guest on the I Heart Life podcast, the brilliant Jadah Sellner. Jadah is a brilliant busin

Here in the I Heart my Life community, we are all about becoming the best version of ourselves, whether that means becoming the best business owner we want to be, or the best parent, or the best spouse. And in order to do that, we are always learning more, keeping our minds open to new ideas, and learning new things about ourselves and the world around us. And here’s a secret: It’s working! I know, I know, it sounds too good to be true.  But it isn't.  Yes, growth doesn’t come easy. It’s hard and it requires a lot of work and patience. But that work comes with results, as long as you're willing to do your best (and trust the universe a little bit). Someone who’s achieved everything she’s set to do (and is now working on achieving even more) is this week’s guest, the brilliant Destinee Berman. Destinee is a supermom, an amazing woman, a successful entrepreneur and business owner, and an overall pretty great human being. And today, she’s here to discuss how to start a business, the secrets to upleveli

It’s not everyday that I get interviewed, but today, that’s going to change… Because today, I will be the guest! Yep, we’re turning the tables (on me) and I’m going to get all candid with my brilliant interviewer, the amazing Vasavi Kumar. Woop woop! (Yes, as you can see, I am veeeery excited). You see, I wanted to change things up a bit. And I thought, what better way to do so than to sit in someone else’s chair for once? Well, technically, I am sitting in a new chair, as this interview is from my dear friend Vasavi’s podcast. But we’ve talked about sooo much interesting stuff and I thought it would be a shame not to share it with all of you. Listen in to this special episode of the I Heart my Life show, as Vasavi and I talk about aaaaaaall the fun stuff, from my top mindset practices to how to transform your thoughts to create more success to how I live my life based on my desires (and how you can too) and everything in between. I hope you’re ready because this train is about to leave the station. All right

In the I Heart Life community, we are all about success. And I don’t mean just financial success.  If that’s what makes you happy, then yes, sure, you do you! But to many others, me included, simply making money and creating wealth is not enough to fulfill our lives. Success means something different to each one of us, but we can all agree on one thing: It’s not always easy to achieve.  It demands hard work, many sacrifices, and a lot of patience.  But, it happens!  Someone who’s gone through this and is still working towards becoming the best version of herself is this week’s guest, the gorgeous, brilliant Alexi Panos. Alexi is a master coach and trainer. Her work is all about teaching other coaches how to work with people as whole humans, not just as a mindset.  She is making strides in her industry and changing the game (for the better) for everyone around her.  Alexi is a true pioneer, and I couldn’t be more excited to have her over on the I Heart My Life show. Listen in as s

In this week’s episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I am off in baby world (yayyy!) so I leave you in the hands of one of my favorite people in the world (if not my favorite), my brilliant, loving husband, the amazing James Williams! James is a certified high performance coach, and today he’s jumping in to discuss everything you need to know about resilience, self-love, and how to keep commitments to yourself! You see, many of us forget to foster the most important relationship there is, the one we have with ourselves. We can’t neglect that relationship and expect to be happy or fulfilled in our lives.  Just like everything that matters, we need to put in the work and make the efforts needed to foster and grow that bond we have with our inner selves. “Easier said than done,” you might think. And the truth is, you might actually be right… Which is why James will be sharing his tips with you today so you can learn to build that relationship and nurture it through self-love and resilience. Are you ready? Le

Becoming a mother can change everything in your life. And I mean, everything. I would know, I’m currently pregnant and I have been getting ready for a whole new reality for the last few months. I haven’t given birth yet and my life has already changed so much. I have new priorities and I now see things differently.  So, suffice to say, I am excited (and a bit scared, let’s be honest) about what changes will happen when my little girl is born. And because I’m always curious about these changes and love to talk to female entrepreneurs who are also mothers, in this week’s episode of the I Heart My Life show, I invited the brilliant Natalie Ellis. Natalie is the original boss babe. She is a super successful entrepreneur who’s been killing it for over a decade! Natalie is also a new mom, and today, she’s here to discuss motherhood, identity shifts, why she started her new CEO Mama community, and more. **Trigger warning! If you’re about to give birth or squeamish, this may not be the episode for you. Natalie d

A few weeks ago, my team and I sent out a survey to our community to ask them one (not so simple) question: What is the biggest challenge that you face in terms of reaching your desires and your goals? And the answers were… unsurprising, to say the least. Around 300 people filled the survey, and there were two answers that were overwhelmingly at the top: Financial reasons and lack of time. Many of us who can’t reach our goals, whether they are fitness goals or career goals or relationship goals, etc… blame both lack of time and lack of money for that. However, this is a new year, and it’s time to debunk that old belief! You see, it’s not lack of time or lack of financial means that’s holding you back… It’s something else entirely.  And as we enter 2023, I want you to be able to reach your goals and fulfill your New Year resolutions (come on, I know you have a list of those somewhere), so I’ll share with you what’s really keeping you from achieving everything you desire in life. Are you ready? Let’s dive

Do you think working together and starting a business as a couple is a good idea? Or is it a surefire way towards failure? Well, we don’t really know the answer.  Many couples work together and become the crazy successful power couples we all can only dream to be (I’m looking at you, Beyonce and Jay-Z).  But many couples also work together and their partnership just doesn’t work. And that ends up affecting their personal life. What I’m trying to say here is that there is really no right or wrong answer when it comes to this question. It’s all about how willing the people are to work together and make the efforts needed for a healthy and professional partnership. Well, a couple that’s really winning at this whole “Let’s live together and work together and be super successful” thing is today’s guests on the I Heart My Life podcast. They are Alana and Jared Mitchell, and together, they own a skincare business. Together, they also have children and a life and an 18-year old marriage. And today, they’re

Here at I Heart My Life, we are all about transformation.  We all want to transform into better people, better parents, better friends, better partners, better entrepreneurs… And many think this transformation has to come from the outside world. Maybe once they get the perfect job or they meet the right person or have children, their life will change for the better and they will get everything they’ve ever wanted? Well today, I’m here to tell you… Not so fast! Because yes, transformation can happen, but it never comes from the outside. Instead, the transformation that truly matters, the one that helps you achieve the life of your dreams, comes from within. Someone who knows much more about this than I do (and believe me, he knows a lot about the art of transforming your life) is this week’s guest, the brilliant Dr. Steven Young. Steven has an incredible backstory.  His childhood wasn’t easy. There was domestic abuse in his home, and once his parents separated, he lived in poverty with his mom. As a

You know when sometimes things don’t go your way and you just want to scream into your pillow? Yeah, that sucks.  It sucks soooooo much that you get angry and frustrated and you want to scream and shout (and let it all out, as a certain musician has said before). Well, I’m here to tell you that there is noooothing wrong with those feelings. In fact, I’d even wager it’s pretty good to let them out in a healthy way and fully embrace them. But hey, don’t take my word for it! Instead, take the word of this week’s guest on the podcast, the brilliant Neeta Bhushan. If Neeta’s name sounds familiar to you, that’s because it’s not her first time on the I Heart My Life podcast (so thank you for being a faithful listener)! She’s been here before, and today, she’s back to discuss her incredible new book, “That Sucked, Now What?” and other fun stuff, such as the challenges life throws at us, why she chose her life’s mission, her frameworks, and more. We’ll also be talking all about the importance of emotional health,

What is desire? Is it the need to have something? Is it simply a want? Or is it something even more powerful than that? Whatever it is, it rules our lives, whether we like it or not. Desire; desire to be better, to do better, to have more, and to make more, is what helps many of us deal with the ups and downs of life. Desire is hope. The hope that everything will eventually work out and we will achieve whatever it is we want in our life. As my favorite quote by Raymond Holliwell goes, “True desire represents the urge of life, seeking a fuller expression and is kept alive by the continuous expectation of its fulfillment. It brings to us the ways and means for its manifestations. The principle explains no desire is felt until the supply is ready to appear. No mind can be conscious of a need or a desire unless the possibility of its fulfillment already exists.” This quote has been guiding my life every single day for the last few years.  It's helped me shift my mindset in ways that nothing else ever has. It

Everyone talks about spirituality and how connecting with your inner self is all about growth, but what do these words truly mean? After all, we all want to grow. We all want to be better people, better spouses, better friends, better parents, better siblings, better… everything. But how do we achieve that goal? We can’t just wake up one day and find ourselves elevated to a higher spiritual realm. No, all of this needs work. Work on the inside and work on the outside. It needs a deep understanding of the forces around us and the powers that rule our daily lives. And most importantly, it needs us to be all right with asking for help from someone who understands all of this much better than we do. Well, today, I’ll be interviewing that someone on I Heart My Life. I hope you’re ready, because this is going to be a doozy! This week’s guest is Sahara Rose. Sahara is a brilliant woman whose work is all about helping people like you and me discover their soul’s purpose, or dharma, and activate their fullest expressi

The beginning of a journey, whether it’s starting a business or having a child or getting in a relationship, is always the hardest. That first step is the most important, and for many of us, the most difficult. It takes courage, it takes work, and most importantly, it takes getting rid of self-doubt and trusting yourself. I’ve done it. I got married, I started a business, and I am about to cross a whole new threshold and become a mother. All of these things were scary when I first dipped my toe in the water. I had to deal with my mindset blocks and work on myself to learn that I was capable of achieving anything I put my mind into. Someone else who’s had a similar journey is this week’s guest, the fantastic Nikki Elledge Brown. Nikki is a brilliant copywriter, a self-proclaimed word nerd, a business owner, and a mother.  I have been a fan of her and her work (her branding is just amaaaazing) for years and years now, and I’ve always been curious about how her journey started and how she made it to where s

Starting a business or launching a new product has never been easier. Getting people to buy your product, on the other hand, has never been harder. Every single day, more and more brands pump new products into the market. It is truly saturated, which is why very few startups make it longer than a couple of years before they have to close shop. However, not every new product is a fail. Some make a killing, and that is thanks to a few things: A good marketing strategy, a great product, the right expertise, and a whole lotta luck. To talk about this, I invited the brilliant minds behind The Product Boss, the amazing Minna Khounlo-Sithep and Jacqueline Snyder. Both first generation Americans and both entrepreneurs at heart, Minna and Jacqueline are two amazing women who came up with one genius idea: To start a company that helps other people take their product-based businesses to the next level! They created The Product Boss out of their own struggles of trying to reach product-based dreams and goals, but feeling

Marriage is sacred. It is the purest expression of commitment between two people. Getting married means sharing your joy, your sadness, and your life with someone else.  It means welcoming that person with open hands and an open heart and forming a family together.  And most importantly, it means being willing to work together to build something bigger and brighter than you are. A decade ago I made a decision, and said yes to all of this. Or at least, I said “I do.” I married James and I never looked back. Today though, he and I will be looking back, as we celebrate our ten year marriage anniversary –I know, it sounds like a lot, but it truly isn’t–. Listen in as today James and I share the ten most important lessons we’ve learned during our ten years of marriage.  From the importance of goofy moments in a marriage (it’s time to embrace the silliness!) to why being your authentic self can help you maintain a healthy relationship, we’ll discuss it all!   In This Episode: [00:00] Introducti

To many of us entrepreneurs, starting a business means starting a financial journey that’s not always a hundred percent safe. And yet, we do it. We do it for the thrill, we do it for the adventure, we do it for the dreams, and of course, we do it for the wealth. Creating wealth, true wealth, doesn’t always come easy; which is why asking for the help of an expert is never a bad idea. And you know it already, this is exactly what we’re doing in this week’s episode of I Heart My Life! Everyone, I want you to meet this week’s guest on the show, the brilliant Kiana Danial. Kiana is the CEO of Invest Diva and a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author. She is also an award-winning, internationally recognized personal investing and wealth creation expert.  She truly is the perfect woman for this, am I right? Having been featured in The Wall Street Journal, TIME, Forbes, Kiplinger, Business Insider, TheStreet, Nasdaq, Fox Business, CNN, Yahoo! Finance, and Cheddar, Kiana is a highly sought-after comm
