With this conversation, take your first step towards your soul and the immense power it offers. 
Soul advisor, Leah Brathwaite uses spirituality to help people find a sense of calm and power within themselves even as they continue to be a part of this very chaotic, confusing, and frustrating world. We talk about how Leah got onto the path of spirituality and the pain and isolation that she had to undergo to break away from old structures and walk this path that offered her no certainty. We talk about Kundalini, why it was kept a secret for so long and how massively powerful and transformational it can be. Leah also walks us through a simple exercise that can help you tap into your intuition and connect to your soul along with other practical tools that can help you better manage the moments of stress and overwhelm that we experience almost constantly.
Leah Brathwaite is an author, Soul Advisor, kundalini instructor and Human Design guide. She is the founder and CEO of Live Free Lifestyle Inc, a personal and spiritual development and lifestyle brand that helps high achievers connect with and live upto their full potential and purpose. After emancipating from nearly three decades of a repressive religious indoctrination, navigating disability, depression and divorce and starting her life over from scratch at 30, Leah learned valuable tools, lessons and practices to heal, get unstuck and create a life of freedom, fulfilment and joy. She teaches her transformative methods and perspectives through her writing, courses and consulting. Combining spirituality, practical psychology and metaphysics in her work, she creates unique opportunities for others to tap into the deepest truth of their souls and find their own answers to life’s big questions.

Kute Blackson: From India to Inner Peace, When Relationships Become Yoga, & Unlocking Destiny

One of the best conversations I have had on the show. Kute Blackson shifted my perspective in some very important ways and I'm hoping that he will do the same way for you. Kute and I talked about being compassionate to others even when they are being unkind, responding with love and understanding when someone we love, lets us down. We learn about the spirituality of real love, what relationships are truly meant for and how to recognise when they’re serving their purpose and when to walk away. How to manifest big and find surrender so we can seek out what is truly meant for us and how to do all that with our ego constantly pulling us towards material attachments.
Kute Blackson is a beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher.  He is author of the national bestselling book You.Are.The.One. and The Magic of Surrender. He is widely considered the next generation leader in the field of personal development and has been featured on Larry King Now, Fox and Friends, Dr. Drew, Inc magazine calls him ‘The Mindfulness Guru Billionaires Go To For Advice’. 
For over 20 years, Kute Blackson has been inspiring audiences around the world. From the first time he spoke in front of 3000 people at age 8, to speaking in over 300 venues by age 18, to helping organizations develop authentic leadership and achieving extraordinary performance over the last decade.
He recently received the 2019 Walden Award in the New Thought Wisdom category in which Unity Organization honours, once a year, socially conscious leaders who are making the world a better place.

Emily Williams: Starting A Business From Scratch And The Mindset of A Successful Entrepreneur

Building a business on the strength of your passion, or entrepreneurship of any kind really, is a path of such deep emotional investment and so profoundly challenging that those who travel this path can never have enough guidance. In this episode, I bring you a little more of that guidance with Emily Williams sharing a lot of her learnings and experiences so we can grow through what she has gone through 😉
Emily Williams is a success coach, author, podcast host and CEO who, at one point, couldn’t get a job at Starbucks. After experiencing a quarter-life crisis, she moved from Ohio to London (where she knew no one!) and in 2014 launched her company, I Heart My Life. She made $442 in her first month—and then went on to hit six figures in six months, before her 30th birthday. She grew her business into seven figures in under 18 months.
We’re going to learn all about that very interesting journey, the mindset that goes into becoming a successful entrepreneur, getting good at marketing, and dealing with failures and rejections along the way. 
Today, Emily works with ambitious, heartcentered women from all over the world. She helps them bust through the obstacles that hold their dreams and goals hostage so they can free themselves to create a life that's better than their dreams through the company's membership, courses and retreats.
