Episode 120
Today, you will discover the 5-step process that I teach my clients when they are looking for help and guidance around how to find your purpose and passion in life.
In this episode, I go deep into the importance of understanding what your soul purpose in life really is and what to do I find it.
Even though sometimes you might think that you are loosing your purpose, the truth is that you are always on the right path.
You are actually living your purpose just by being alive, by waking up every day.
Always remember that the only way to make sure you are living your best life is to take care of the vehicle that your soul is inside of, meaning your physical body.
Highlights you won’t want to miss:
- Step #1
You are probably already doing it. Take a look at your life and you will find clues that will show you that are already living your purpose.
- Step #2
Go back in time and look at your life path. Observe your past and the things that have always brought you joy and that you have been doing all your life.
- Step #3
Wake up and know that you are going it right. You are always on the right path.
- Step #4
Allow yourself to feel into what lights you up.
- Step #5
Find it, you need to take responsibility and find your purpose and go after it because no one is going to give it to you.
- Bonus Step #6
Ask your friends what they think you are the best at. Many times they know you better than you know yourself.
Shareable Quotes:
- “So we tell ourselves: I’m not on my life path. I don’t know if I’m losing my purpose right now. But if you woke up and you’re alive right now, you are living your purpose. Your path might not look like a million dollars in the bank, but you’re living your purpose. You’re literally alive, living your purpose.” – Emily Aarons
- “If you’re not outside in nature, you’re not moving your body, you’re not eating foods that nourish your body, then, of course, you’re not going to feel passionate. Of course, you’re not going to feel you’re living your purpose because your body is literally numb.” – Emily Aarons
- “If you want to make sure you’re living your best life, you also need to take care of the vehicle that your soul is inside. Meaning your physical body, it’s literally a temple.” – Emily Aarons

After completing a Masters in Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work she was given a book by her father, The Tao of Equus, by Linda Kohanov. Upon reading this book, Sara knew that her passion and purpose had finally joined up!
After completing an Equine Experiential Learning apprenticeship program with Eponaquest in 2003, she created Horses, Heart & Soul®, an Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy and Life Coaching practice for teens and adults located at WolfTree Ranch in Pilot Point, TX.

We talked about how Sara sees horses as natural healers who help us reconnect to our entire being – spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically.
And how horses remind us there is more to us that what we present to the outside world. Their unconditional awareness and acceptance of our experience is felt from the moment we step into the pasture with them.

Episode 114
Today I am speaking to Liz Lee about her journey of self-discovery through plant medicine.
Liz Lee specializes in helping coaches, consultants, intuitives and healers make authentic connections with their potential clients online through WordPress web design, consulting, maintenance and hosting.
Liz goes beyond all “the tech stuff” to work with her clients holistically, helping them break through blocks and limiting mindsets that would otherwise hold them back from serving in their highest capacity.
In this episode, we dive deep into plant medicine and how it allowed Liz to connect with her consciousness on a whole new level.

- The dangerous habit of shutting down desire when you think you can’t get what you want.
- The importance of understanding how desire fuels the universe.
- The power of recognizing that there is an energy flow that happens in sacred sites around the world.
- Why self-care is so much more than looking good in a bikini, it’s about taking care of your body so that your soul can live its best life.

- Why even though your head seems like the safest place to be, it’s really anything but safe because your brain will kick in and create stories.
- Why you need to get into your heart because even though you may think it’s not safe to be in your heart, it’s the safest, strongest place you can be. Your heart intelligence has information for you that you simply cannot access if you’re just in your head.
