51 | Back To You
Today’s a special day because it’s the very last Monday of 2021. Now, I know that might sound crazy since traditional calendars say it’s 2022, but hear me out. Energetically, 2022 doesn’t actually start until tomorrow. So, if you’ve been feeling like things are still dragging out and haven’t shifted for you yet, that’s okay. And, that’s exactly why I’m glad you’re here with me today. In this episode, I share why I want you to get really clear today about what you want to be feeling in 2022, what I want you to do for the rest of this first energetic week of 2022, why you need to evaluate if you’re putting out too much of your energy, an exercise I want you to do to help determine if you’re putting out more energy than you’re receiving, what you can do to correct things if you are putting out too much energy, what my journey of bringing my energy back inside of me means for this podcast, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.

50 | Take The Whole Year
Welcome back to the Abandon Ordinary studio! We made it through the holiday season, and I want to be clear the holiday season is just that. It’s a season created by us to celebrate whichever holiday it is we celebrate. It’s also a time when we are encouraged to unplug ourselves from everything that we busied ourselves with throughout the year. In this episode, I share why the end of the holiday season doesn’t actually mark the beginning of a new year, why the Chinese New Year isn’t on the same date each year, why it’s important to understand the Chinese New Year even if you don’t celebrate it, when the energetic new year begins, the exercise I want you to do that will help you become the person you want to be, why you shouldn’t expect to become that person by the end of January, the workshop I’m hosting this weekend that can help you get clear on what you desire out of the coming year, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.

Welcome to the last episode of 2021. As we head into the eve of the holiday season, I want you to think about how you’re going to commit yourself to resting over the next several weeks. In this episode, I share why I don’t want you to just rest over the next two weeks, what my intuition is telling me about 2022, why I want you to abandon your ordinary routine during this period of rest, the visualization exercise I want you to perform, how I’m choosing to rest over the next several weeks, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.

If you could have seen me as I recorded this episode, you would have known that I did it with rollers in my hair while wearing my silk robe. I was in the middle of getting ready to attend an event and it inspired me. So, I knew I had to drop everything and talk to you about manifesting. In this episode, I shared more about the event I attended and why it sparked the idea for this episode, what my baseline financial goal is for 2022 and why I don’t have a plan to meet it, what I do have instead of a plan, what rapid manifestation looks like, the new manifestation deck and journal I created to help you spend a little time each day focusing on what you truly want, how focusing on what we want can help us to collectively shift ourselves to great heights, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.

47 | Your Side Ways
I post a recently from a beautiful Caribbean woman and she said that your business will never be a business if you refer to it as a side hustle. Her post made a lot of sense to me, and it made me think about how that form of thinking shows up in other areas of our life. So, in this episode, I’m diving into the common areas where this type of thinking can happen, how in the Black culture we refer to things as “little” and why that’s disrespectful to others, how this way of looking at things and minimizing their importance is preventing us from getting the things we really want, why it’s so easy for us to diminish our desires and efforts, the thought exercise I want you to do after listening to this episode, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.

46 | Thank Me
I hope we all took some time over the first holiday break of the season to take care of ourselves and spend time with people we care about. I also hope we took time to acknowledge what it is that we’re thankful for about ourselves. It’s that idea that I want to dive deeper into today. In this episode, I share how this topic was inspired by the most recent episode of the Ladies First Chit-Chat Crew and a recent conversation with a potential client, the questions I want you to ask yourself around this topic, examples of things you could thank yourself for, why it’s vital to actually show yourself you’re thankful for yourself, what it means when you can’t thank yourself for most of the things you do each day, the homework I want you to start doing after you listen to this episode, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.

45 | Stop Defending Growth
There’s plenty for us to talk about today, but there’s one thing in particular I think we should be paying attention to; especially as we roll into the holiday season. That thing is our need for other people to understand us. In this episode, I share what recent event sparked this topic idea, why it’s not your mission to make sure the people around you “get it”, how it’s okay for the people around to be comfortable with the person you’ve evolved into, why you can’t try to force them to become comfortable with it, the exercises I want you to perform after listening to this episode, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.

This week, I want to talk about what place we are in our lives and whether we’re prepared to receive what we want. In this episode, I share how a recent conversation inspired this episode, how our intimate relationships can teach us what we need and what we won’t tolerate in future relationships, the importance of being honest about if you’re truly the person you need to be to receive the things you want in your relationships, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.

If you joined me in last week’s episode, you know that I talked about moving my roots into new soil. Now, I’m so excited to be sharing with you my first revelations as I’m settling into my new soil. In this episode, I share a recap of my recent move into new soil, how I was previously moving at a pace I wasn’t aware of, how my new environment is helping me to set a new pace of exploration, why we should be traveling at home, the importance of rooting yourself in soil that will nourish you, and more.   To get more information on things mentioned in today's episode, visit La Shell's show notes.
