A spiritual coach and intuitive guide…what is that? Let’s find out on this week’s episode of Be The Good with Kate.  “Sasha Lipskaia, M.A. ICF, is an intuitive guide, spiritual coach, and sacred intimacy mentor to soul-driven leaders and light-workers, who want to experience deeper love and devotion, serve their higher purpose, and embody their worth with power, integrity, and faith. Sasha's work focuses on helping her clients reconnect to their intuition and heal their hearts while mastering their energetic power to create what they truly desire while serving others.” I particularly am drawn to how Sasha describes how her passion for performing channeled into this path, how she thought she was meant to be an actor at first, but then saw how this skillset was manifesting in another way.

Something I love about interviewing guests for Be The Good with Kate: the different ways guests describe concepts. Sophie Jacobs tackles the internal vs external factors that impact us each day, with a focus on INTUITION. And how NOT following our intuition can present itself in our bodies.  Sophie quit a high-profile startup job to live at a Buddhist monastery, was ordained as a Buddhist Nun, then disrobed and went on to write a book about how to trust your inner knowing through a series of personal elemental essays. She now facilitates programs and coaches individuals on these topics. Presence Peace Perspective Purpose Passion All the ‘P’s’ today!

Antonio Garrido speaks to me from France about leadership and so much more on today’s episode of Be The Good with Kate. He is the author of My Daily Leadership: A Powerful Roadmap for Leadership Success, and Founder & President of My Daily Leadership, a leadership development organization with a mission to inspire one million of the world’s best leaders to reach their full potential. One of Antonio’s favorite quotes is “People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures.” (F. M. Alexander). Antonio explains, “Every attitude, belief, and habit is entirely learned behavior, therefore, it can be altered and modified to become the world’s most high-performing leaders. However, without intentional self-reflection, regular self-analysis, and increased self-awareness, there’s no tension, no change, and no growth. We could be too busy mopping the floor to turn off the faucet.” To listen for in the episode: -perspective in 'success' -hindsight through journaling, giving yourself ‘report cards’, leads to insight -insight as a quality to standout in a competitive workforce -fascinating story of his father being a shepherd in poverty in Spain -do you want to be the tail of a lion or the head of a mouse? -the long game in finding the heart of your passions -ask for critiques to grow -confirmation bias 31 Days of Leadership Journal Prompts - Complimentary Download for Listeners: mydailyleadership com/leadership-journal-prompts Thank you for listening to Be The Good with Kate, where it is my honor to share with you each week guests who inspire us to find and follow our passions at any age– but not only that, to do this while making the world a better place along the way.

Looking at someone who appears confident and successful, we often have no idea of the stories behind them. Or the horrors they may have endured to get to where they are today. Jennifer Ramirez has gone through things no one should ever have to encounter, yet how she moved through her past to build the work she does today is incredible. Not only has she created a nonprofit to help others, but she created one to help others going through similar traumas to her own, forcing her to revisit her past daily in order to help others move beyond theirs. Jennifer Ramirez is the Founder of the nonprofit organization, &Rise, whose mission is to empower women to be the ultimate versions of themselves no matter their adversities.  Jennifer has years of experience working with survivors and provides trauma-informed care to those she works with. She is passionate about helping women live their best lives after trauma and abuse.  Jennifer was recommended to me by episode 52 guest, JJ Kells, another beautiful episode to listen to.
