How can we learn not to take things personally? Whether good or bad, there's an agreement to be learned around how we exchange with others when it comes to our words and what we take on when someone has something to say about us. Today Kara is diving into a small yet powerful book – The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz – which truly offers life-changing freedom when you apply the author's insights. If you missed last week's episode, please do yourself a favor and go back and listen to 'Being Impeccable With Your Word’ (The First Agreement) which speaks to the power of being more intentional with our word.Learning not to take things personally: easier said than done! Often we get caught in an emotional tug-of-war when someone says something to us that we don't like. So how do we begin to not let that affect us negatively?It starts with an appreciation that someone else's opinion of you is colored by their world perspective. And so if someone does say something that hurts you, then there is a part of you that believes that to be true. And if you take something someone else says personally, you're making it about yourself. Open yourself to a whole new level of self-love with the perfect antidote to any year-end angst you might be feeling with an episode of Soul Inspiring Business that gently soothes as it enlightens. Live in a state of more bliss – without the approval of someone else! Please join us. "Whatever anybody says about you, is really about their own beliefs, their own upbringing, their own view of the world." ~ Kara Chaffin Donofrio In This Episode:What exactly is it that allows us to feel hurt by someone else's words?How we try to impose our world on othersHow social media comments can impact our day Learning to live in a state of 'more bliss'How do we create awareness around taking things personally?How do we train our kids to understand this simple yet effective concept?Resources:The Four Agreements (book) - The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)Jordan Peterson - Jordan PetersonBrad Lea - Brad LeaConnect with Kara:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/ Email - [email protected] - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/karachaffin1YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraChaffinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin

How can we be more intentional with our words? The word ‘impeccable’ actually means ‘without sin’ and this is in fact The First Agreement in the book: be impeccable with your word. For the next four episodes, Kara will be unpacking the book, The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz. Our words carry great power: they have the power to heal, transform, and create. Understanding how we can be impeccable with our word is a journey.Is a voice of negativity dictating the direction of your life? What does your internal dialogue look like? Learning to name the negative voice in your head is the start you can make to identify your negative thoughts and nip them in the bud.Additionally, Kara also unpacks the impact that our words have on others whether they are present or not. How can we become more intentional in every conversation with our word choice? If you knew that you could heal people with your words, how does that allow you to show up differently in every conversation? Please enjoy a breath of fresh air and positivity as we wind down 2024 with a philosophical and spiritual message that will resonate with all. We all have the power to heal with our words. “How can we make a conscious choice to say: ‘I am being impeccable with my word’? Not only with other people but also with the words that I speak to myself.” ~ Kara Chaffin DonofrioIn This Episode:How do we speak to ourselves?Understanding our own self-doubt (and how we can transcend that)Naming the negative personHow can we show up differently (by preparing differently) with our loved ones?Making the agreement impeccable with our wordResources:The Four Agreements (book) - The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)Jordan Peterson - Jordan PetersonBrad Lea - Brad LeaConnect with Kara:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/ Email - [email protected] - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/karachaffin1YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraChaffinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin

How do you create from soul? And more specifically, when it comes to our business, how do we learn to trust our intuition and fuse a divine sense of knowing into the work that we do?Listeners of Soul Inspiring Business are in for a treat this episode as Kara is in conversation with her business coach and mentor, Jen Cudmore. Jen is an ‘Entrepreneur Alignment and High Level Success Coach’, or a ‘Business Kinesiologist’ – she uses her healing powers to help people bridge the gap between their life purpose and money-making ambitions. Today we learn that there isn't actually a gap to be bridged! Rather we should imagine how we show up in the world (and the work that we do), and our material ambitions (how we plan to make money), as two separate train tracks, running parallel with each other, both needing their own care and separate attention.Or to put it more succinctly in Jen's words, "Manifest money. Making a difference." Full stop. Separate sentences. Learn how to get in 'flow' with your business so that things come more naturally to you in this seminal episode that will surely help shift things for you in your personal, business, and spiritual life. There's also a powerful energy-clearing meditation with Jen at the end of the episode that you can listen to whenever you feel the need. If you would like to go back and listen to Kara's first interview with Jen, you find the episode entitled 'Connecting to Your Core Essence in Business with Jen Cudmore' or by checking the link below.

How can you be the highest expression of yourself? And how can you do that in a way that creates maximum impact for the greater good of humanity and the people you serve? Kara is asking the big philosophical questions of us today as we look to course correct by creating time and space to consider where there is room for improvement in our lives. Welcome to the 4th quarter and the growth and expansion season that is upon us as we look forward to 2024! This is a time of reflection where we get to look back on what has worked well, as well as what we can improve upon.Kara is back from the Soul Inspiring Business Retreat that was held recently in Colorado. With her, she is bringing the lessons, insights, and inspiration that she gleaned from her time away that she has distilled into the four top takeaways as we seek to create our vision for 2024. How are we showing up energetically? How do we go about dreaming into a bigger vision, and how do you train your team on that so that they show up with the right intentionality and purpose?How do we get into bigger rooms with bigger thinkers, avoiding the negative, small-minded thinking that might be holding us back? Who do we share our vulnerabilities with as we learn that empathy and compassion are the keys to our growth? And lastly, how do we create the time and space required to serve our highest good, on a daily basis, without having to go on a retreat to see our bigger picture?With the wind in her sails, Kara is here to blow meaning and infuse inspiration into your 4th quarter with four philosophical insights that can be practically applied to you and your business. May you continue to grow and expand, no matter what is going on in the world. "Energy is everything." ~ Kara Chaffin DonofrioIn This Episode:How are we 'showing up' with the right intentionality?

What does it mean to find yourself at a crossroads in life? This is a theme that has cropped up a lot recently with the people that Kara has encountered: people who are looking for more balance in their careers or in search of a new direction.The power of personal intuition is delicately addressed by Kara in this timely reminder that often when we go in search of the 'expert' to offer us advice, we ignore our own inner wisdom and guidance. Sometimes we put that self-help guru or friend on a pedestal and take their advice when it's actually not what we need at that time. Sometimes we take someone else's advice because it's easier than listening to our gut and showing true discernment. Trust in the 'asking' next time you find yourselves at a crossroads. Clarity for what you want is found in the asking. Then let go of the ways in which your questions and needs will be met. Play with the power of your personal intuition by listening to it the next time you find yourself at a crossroads. Be open to asking, trusting, and receiving. And remember: you are a uniquely powerful creator. Please join us!

How do we show up in the world in an authentic way that allows us to create impact and make a difference in the lives of others? And can we do that while also setting big financial goals? In today's insightful episode of Soul Inspiring Business, Kara is sharing a way of viewing money and the way we show up to earn that money as two distinctly different things. If you've ever had someone try to sell you something from a place of desperation, you will understand and appreciate the distinction that Kara is asking us to make.Drawing on some of the philosophies of her business energy coach and friend, Jen Cudmore, Kara is first drawing our attention to the fact that energy is everything. Energy has the power to transform and/or destroy, which relates in turn to how we show up in the world. The energy we bring to our work can either magnify or nullify what we are already doing.And in an increasingly overwhelming AI world, bringing your authentic soul and a higher level of vibrational frequency is what will set you up for increased success. Dividing your energetic intention between your money goals and the way you intend to create impact is the secret to success that Kara has personally experienced.So how does she do it exactly? And how can you? Please join us to learn the three conscious creation techniques that Kara applies to her money goals and how she wants to show up in the world in this eloquent and impactful episode of Soul Inspiring Business that will soon have you enjoying your manifesting walks while marveling at the synchronicity and abundance of all that is on offer for you.
