When you feel stuck and are doubting whether your efforts are really worth it, it's easy to let others chime in and make you question how you’re living your life. In this episode, I talk about the 2 things you need to get to a secure place so that you can move forward towards your goals when those doubts creep in and confidently live a life you LOVE.

The journey of progress and growth is unique and personal. No one goes through it in exactly the same way, but I have found that creating clear metaphors can help us learn and understand the process better. So, in today’s episode, I am explaining how progress is a manual elevator. Not just any elevator, a MANUAL elevator that requires you to crank a lever and make the gears turn so they interlock and slowly lift you to a higher level. This kind of elevator takes time and effort and you can only go UP!

Hey, friends! I hope you enjoyed part one of Appreciating the Journey with me and Scarlett (@thebizhippie) last week. In this second half, we are talking about... Pivoting is not the same as failure, Everything comes back to nature, Epiphanies, Journaling intuitive messages, The connection between the emotional and physical bodies, Childhood and how we write our own story, and Putting self-care before business!

OH SNAP! SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED. Hey friends! Super excited because the podcast is back in action! A couple of weeks ago, I was hanging with my friend Scarlett aka The Biz Hippie (@thebizhippie) and we decided that so much had happened for us in the last couple of months that we needed to sit down and record it. It's funny how days seem to fly by with minimal change, but when you really look back, absolutely everything has shifted. THIS IS ONLY PART ONE! We actually ended up talking for over an hour so I broke this up into 2 parts! No exaggeration, when I sat down to prep for what we were chatting about in this episode, I listed THIRTY significant life changes that have happened in only a few months. In part one, we talk about… A magical moment that we shared while reading tarot cards together Different ways we process and feel energy Struggles of being an empath Our friendship story The significance of journaling Putting yourself first Handling loss and grief Magic and spiritual connections Validation and acceptance from family Powerful mindset shifts when you release resistance Growth is exponential Breaking free from comfort zones There is no such thing as failure DON'T MISS PART TWO! The second part of our hang sesh will be shared in the next episode, so be sure to subscribe to the channel so you don't miss it.

We've been trapped in the hustle culture. It's easy to get sucked into the everyday tasks in your business and lose sight of the bigger picture. The true power behind your brand is your own health and well-being. It's the QUALITY of your energy that you allow to fuel your business. If your branding and offers aren't in line with who you are on every level, you'll feel like everything is an uphill battle. This is because you're working directly against yourself without even realizing it.

Is your intuition coming in loud and clear? Allowing your intuition to guide the choices you make is the key to living a life of passion, purpose, and peace. It is a surefire way to create a sense of ease and flow in your business and it can have a profoundly positive impact on your quality of life. You already have all of the knowledge and guidance you need. You just need to learn how to tune into it! In this episode, I share 16 ways your can strengthen your intuition.

The dialogue between your intuition and your inner critic is SO important because it sets the stage for all of your wins and your “failures”. When making decisions in your life and business, you may think that you are being guided in the right direction. If you really reflect on this though, it could be that your fears and doubts are taking the reigns. When you strengthen and learn how to trust your intuition, it will never lead you astray. This is the only voice that you need to be listening to.

Episode 03 opens with a little behind the scenes share regarding my recent challenges with the podcast and how visualization helped me realign my focus. I decided to loosely follow a structure for the episodes moving forward to ensure that I am maintaining a balance between theory and action. For each topic, I plan on sharing an introduction episode that discusses the idea in general followed by an episode focused specifically on why it matters for your brand and how you can take action. 3 PROFIT-BOOSTING STRATEGIES Can you guess what the 3 profit-boosting strategies your business should be leveraging are? (HINT: It's not evaluating inventory, updating your website, or reducing overhead.) I'm talking about those POWERFUL game-changers: 1. Gratitude 2. Visualization 3. Reflection. You can leverage all 3 together to dramatically improve your business and overall well-being. DOWNLOAD THE VISUALIZATION TOOLKIT: http://bit.ly/cbpVizToolkit

Do you see what I see? Today, on The Cosmic Brand Pod, I'm talking about mindset tips and visualization techniques you can start using today to improve your outlook living in this crazy-ass world. We may have brought in a new year but we held on to a lot of 2020 baggage that isn't just going to go away without some work on our part. It’s easy to only see the things that have gone wrong. We have to CHOOSE to see the good. All we truly have control over is how we respond to every moment of every day. It's certainly not easy, but it is true and with practice, it is possible to maintain calm even in a chaotic environment. As a small business owner or entrepreneur, that's a damn good ability to have, don't you think? Gratitude is a simple practice that can have a wildly positive impact on your quality of life. It can help you see silver linings more easily and face challenges with a growth mindset. Increasing positive thoughts releases chemicals in your brain that improve your mood, help you sleep better, and lower blood pressure. This practice only works if you are consistent with it. You have to incorporate gratitude into your daily routine and stay focused on building your vision for your life. I am a visual learner and creative soul⁣⁣, so my favorite tool to use to improve my mindset and stay focused on my goals is Vision Boards. My vision board is the background on my computer, on my phone, and printed in my meditation journal. The more you see your vision, the more focused you will be on achieving it. These two mindset practices don’t only benefit your personal life. Episode 03 talks all about how to leverage gratitude and visualization for your business which is the perfect follow up to this episode.

Welcome to The Cosmic Brand Pod! Taylor of tiibii Creative here and I am SO excited to be launching this podcast which has been a lingering item on my to-do list for over a year. I was procrastinating for a long time but, as I've come to learn, when I procrastinate on big projects it usually means that something isn't quite right yet. I needed to sit with the idea for a while longer. Well, friends! Clarity hit me right in the face last week and The Cosmic Brand Pod was born! In this intro episode, I'm talking about the definition of a cosmic brand and why it is so important to find alignment, both personally and in your branding, in order to have a thriving business and life. - - - NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY! - - - SHOWNOTES: https://www.tiibiicreative.com/cosmic-brand-pod/what-is-a-cosmic-brand/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/cosmicbrandpod/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/cosmicbrandpod/
