In this episode, Lauren shares her experience while taking a break from social media for 21 days. This might seem like a simple challenge for some people, but for others, especially online business owners, it's often a struggle to take a break because of the fear that we'll miss an opportunity, the  pressure to keep up with the algorithm, or the feeling of letting others down. And sometimes, social media can be an addiction. We get home from work, plonk ourselves on the couch and mindlessly scroll as time flies by, and can be completely unaware of the time we spend on our electronic devices. Lauren will share with you, her biggest takeaways and what she learned during her short time away from social media. But most of all, how she benefited from this experience. Listen now, and if you like this episode, please share it! If you're needing some 1:1 guidance in the form of a mentor, click here to learn more and schedule a time to meet Lauren.

Today I'm speaking with Soraiya Bodhi who lives in Vancouver, Canada and is a Mom of 2 incredible souls, under the age of 3. Her children inspire her everyday to stand in her full light and live in alignment with love. Soraiya’s roots are from India and East Africa. Growing up her family and traditions emphasized spirituality, celebrating diversity and service. At the age of 10, she began to meditate and found the spark of expressing her soul’s voice through written form. Over the last 17 years Soraiya has had a successful career in Human Resources where she coaches, trains and leads others. She holds a Masters in International Business from the University of Edinburgh and has travelled to 20 countries and 3 continents. Soraiya’s mission in life is to be an instrument of divine’s love, scattering love, light and peace to every corner of this planet. Through speaking and writing she hopes to inspire millions of moms to unconditionally love and accept themselves, lighting the path for their children to do the same. She believes in doing so, this will lead to a collective consciousness of being aligned to our soul’s purpose, and serving from an overflow of love, compassion and peace, making the world far brighter than we found it. Connect with Soraiya on Instagram @fullsoulpotential1111 or on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/soraiya.bodhi1111 Motherhood Diaries This book is a coffee table book where 10 moms share various expressions of motherhood in the form of art, poetry, short stories, quotes, letters and affirmations.

Hi there! Thank you for tuning into The Smiling Soul Podcast. Today's episode is all about limiting beliefs and how to tackle them. Limiting beliefs can hold you back from stepping into your full potential. These beliefs may stem from childhood or have been adopted over time through our experiences. The good thing is that we have the power to change our beliefs so that they nurture us rather than sabotage us. As mentioned in this episode, you can download my FREE workbook - Limiting Belief Buster which will help you to filter through the beliefs that are no longer serving you. I hope you find value in this episode! If you like it, please share it with someone who would appreciate it!
