Four Principles for Creating What You Desire in Life + Business:
1. Owning your desires + being the real you. Who are you when you feel like yourself? Who are you when you’re not holding back? Who are you when you’re being your best self — your most youiest you. I’m bold, and I’m loud, and I’m confident, and I’m sure, and I trust myself, and I trust the process, and I trust the God in me. I feel anchored to the heart of God, I feel stable in who I am and what I believe. When you trust your heart and your soul and your desires, you can create offers that have no good reason to sell. You can create content just because you believe in it. You can create what’s just simply aligned in your heart and soul. You can create based on your desires when you know who you are, you like who you are, and you trust yourself.
2. Shattering the illusion. When we start saying things like: “I believe in manifestation, but it doesn’t work for me in business,” or “I believe in the principle that I can co-create whatever I want, but it doesn’t work in my relationships,” that is the illusion. When we start believing that our power doesn’t exist and doesn’t apply to certain areas of our lives, that is the illusion. When we give away our power and believe the fear, and doubt, and chaos, and anxiety more than we believe in our own selves, more than we believe in the God within us, that is when we fall into the illusion. That is when we become trapped in ideas that were never actually mother f*ing real.
3. Rising up + assuming the energy of being on the other side. The energy of being on the other side is: It’s already been done. I already have more clients. I already have more money. It’s already mine. It’s been mine since the beginning of time. It’s the feeling of, oh, that’s actually already sorted and now I’m just walking it out on the planet as a human, but it’s already been sorted in the spiritual realm. It’s already been sorted because it’s my birthright to feel good. It’s my birthright to be happy. It’s my birthright to live my calling. Our limiting beliefs tell us that there is a block, there is an upper limit, there is something we need to do. So if there’s nothing to do, and only something to walk out, and you were already on the other side, how would you feel right now? What would you do right now? Is there anything else that would be going on right now that you can go ahead and feel into and bring that energy into your space now?
4. Releasing victim stories. Sometimes we feel like we have to be in a victim story. We have to be the underdog in our own minds. We have to believe that we’re the person that it’s so unlikely for the good thing to happen to so we can then overcome. And then because we overcame, we now believe we’re worthy of the success story. But what if we were worthy of the success story all along? What if we never had to be the underdog, tell the victim’s story, or think lowly of ourselves. What if we didn’t have to have the abusive dynamic or the toxic dysfunctional situation to break out of something to let ourselves be great? What if we could just f*ing be great? What if you could just be great now because you decided? Don’t get me wrong, we will always take any bad things that happen to us — because we’re human beings living life, and life sometimes hurts — we will always take all those things and use them for good, but there’s this misconception in a lot of our minds that the bad things have to happen to let ourselves have the good things… but what if we could just have the good things?

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that will unlock your true potential and bring your deepest desires to life? In this post, we’ll explore five powerful steps from the Soul Alive Bundle that will guide you on a path of self-discovery and manifestation. These simple yet profound techniques will help you tap into your inner wisdom, align with your authentic desires, and embrace your role as the creator of your own reality. Let’s dive in!
1. Unleash Your Quantum Leap: A simple method for embodying the version of you who’s already living your next-level life. Let’s tap into the desires you didn’t even know you had and attune your energy and vibrational state with the you who’s already living her best soul-alive life. Let’s do this intentionally in a way that will bring your fully formed desires into your reality faster than you could have imagined.
2. Take Your Authentic Desired Action: Your desires are your compass, always pointing you in the right direction. No need to wait for a lightning bolt of inspiration—your desires are the inspiration. Bow to the wisdom within you, and let your actions follow suit.
3. Slow Down Your Inner World: (And speed up your external results!) Amid life’s hustle, find stillness within. Embrace the stillness and tap into the wisdom of your soul. This inner calm will guide you through the external chaos with grace.
4. Know Who and What Supports You: What if God, the Universe and all that is, was good with you having a good life? What if the permission was already granted and approval had already been given? What if the trick was agreeing with them and allowing yourself to finally receive it all?
5. Embrace Your Role as the Creator: Life’s events are neutral; we’re the ones who assign meaning. Remember, a stumble doesn’t define you. We tell ourselves that if we don’t do the thing, it means we are bad, but you are a magnificent creator. Negative experiences don’t negate your abilities. You are capable of manifesting your desires despite any perceived failures, flaws or setbacks.

So here’s the deal. The universe – God – DOES NOT HAVE CONDITIONS UPON US for what is required to manifest and to receive what we want to co-create for our lives.
You’ll hear me say this all the live long day, every day…
==> There are no ultimate things we must do to receive. There are no boxes to check or levels of achievement we must pass in order to be eligible to receive.
We are ‘eligible’ to receive because we are worthy.
We are worthy because…
We. Just. Are.
It’s our birthright… we are born worthy. There is no holy grail of worthiness.
I realize this may sound cliche – or just too simple – but it’s important that you understand and deeply integrate this truth within your core… regardless of what you might hear from the many people on the interwebs claiming to have the ‘secrets’ to manifestation.
But…
There are also things we can do to help us to know – to reinforce our belief – that we can receive.
In this video, I’m sharing four principles to help you manifest what you desire:
1) Knowing you’re worthy.
2) Bringing meaning behind the thing(s) you desire.
3) Believing it’s possible.
4) Having Gratitude
I explain each principle so you can build your own strong foundation for manifestation… and not be “influenced” in directions that just aren’t true.
People say such crazy nonsense when it comes to how to spiritually co-create our lives.
I’m breaking down the *truth* of manifestation. What is required? What isn’t?
In a world that will give you so much conflicting information, we need a reliable foundation. These steps will simplify and clarify everything.
These withstand the test of all time and all circumstances.
I hope you enjoy it and I’d love to know what you think!
Recently while being interviewed, I was asked what grace means to me.
To me, grace is the thing that fills in the gaps.
Grace is when I do everything I know to do and it shouldn’t be enough and then it is anyway.
Grace brings together all of the unseen pieces I couldn’t have known I needed
Grace is the thing that makes it work together when it shouldn’t
Grace is the thing you don’t deserve, but it doesn’t matter.
Because love. Because God. Because grace.
Because deciding you are worthy.
The thing about me is this: I work hard. I don’t give up. I take responsibility for my life and my choices.
I do what is required to create what I want. I do everything I know to do. Every day.
But there’s been many times when that shouldn’t have been enough. And it was.
The amount of money I was making didn’t make sense for the tiny audience I had.
How did it always work? How did I always find enough clients?
I always received the amount of money I was an energetic match for (once I understood how money worked) even when my situations it shouldn’t have been enough to create it.
To me grace is the ability to have a beautiful, magnificent, extraordinary life while being wildly human and imperfect.
Because you know, decide, expect, believe, ask and trust.
No matter how much you feel you don’t know. No matter how you feel you’ve fallen short so far.
Grace is the fact that you are beyond good enough deep within you. Because you are.
Grace is the thing that makes everything not quite so fragile. Grace is the reason you don’t have to be preoccupied with getting everything just right all of the time. Grace is the substance that fills in that gaps as you put your heart and soul into your dreams, goals, and relationships.
This doesn’t mean that there is no consequences. It doesn’t mean to abandon your sense of right and wrong. It actually means the opposite. It means to trust fully in your sense of what’s feels right for you and your business while ignoring all should’s, supposed-to, and ridiculous rules that you’ve picked up along the way. Asking yourself regularly, “Who says that that’s the way things have to be?!”
The Bible says it this way: “God’s grace is sufficient for you. His grace is made perfect for you in your weakness.”
Do the things you long to do. Say what you really have to say in (life and online). Make the move. Trust yourself.
More often than not, there will be room to change your mind, rearrange it all or do it differently next time if you so choose.
Because grace.
I think you’re going to love this video:
And you have grace upon grace upon grace as long as you realize you do.
You are good enough. You won’t mess this up. It’s time to trust yourself. And go big.
That part is not true. But, one time, I was leaving a Pilates class in Calabasas and was Googling what the best grocery store option.
When Erewhon (best grocery store in the world) came up on my search, I clicked on a link that informed me that Kourtney buys this blue green algae there.
Now, so do I. You can also get it on amazon however.
On the same trip to Erewhon, I found myself talking to a girl in the vitamin aisle.
She said, “Omg. You have to try this. It makes bloating disappear. It will change your life forever.”
I said, “You mean like, I eat a cheese plate the night before with friends and the next day have a food baby, this will make it disappear?”
She said, “Yes!” and here we are. While I am just taking a little each day as a supportive tonic like the directions suggest, word on the street (and on the vitamin aisle) is that you can take more for other belly discomforts.
My overall digestion has been incredible since I started using it.
DID YOU KNOW that you can get as much protein from Collagen Peptides as your protein powder?
Do you know what’s even better than that? This stuff instantly dissolves in any drink and doesn’t add a yucky or grain situation to your drink like most protein powders.
They say it’s good for the elasticity of your skin, prevents wrinkles, supports hair growth, and improves gu health.
It also adds creaminess to your tea or coffee #yourewelcome
I haven’t been this happy about a health food product since I discovered coconut oil.
Some days, I get a little crazy and add edible intelligence, edible radiance, edible strength, edible attraction, edible joy and edible rest to my cup in the form of dusts from Moon Juice in LA.
I do not have a picture of this (thought all six jars are in my kitchen — I’m in bed) but I did find a sampler pack for you on Amazon.
We’ve left you the links above for anything you feel guided to try!
Remember — this is YOUR life. You are the expert of what is best for you and works best for you!
Have fun! Trust yourself. And figure it out as you go!
(Wait! One more thing! I want to hear from you below!)
I can’t wait to hear from you!
What is your favorite thing to start the day with? Do you have a morning drink?

My Size 4 Ass Does Not Miss My Size 10 Ass At All.
Heaviest Ever – December 2006
Two months before I decided to get in shape – March 2009
September 2009 to Present. 🙂
I love you at any size and I love me at any size, but I’d be lying to say that I miss the days of wearing empire waist dresses and shirts every day because it was the only way to hide my stomach.
I’m not a nutritionist or registered dietician, but I know what I did to get healthy. I didn’t count calories, hire a trainer, or order strange supplements from a late night infomercial. (Not that there is anything wrong with those things, it’s just not what I did.)
And I don’t have anything to sell you.
I started making smart decisions. I educated myself as I went. I took it one day at a time.
And here I am. 30 pounds smaller with opinions and a personality as big as ever 😉
I’m here to tell you that you can loose weight, keep it off, and still eat drink and be merry.
Here is what worked for me:
1. Work-out.
You aren’t going to be able to get where you want to be without getting off your ass. So get up and go outside. Either start walking or get in your car and drive to the gym or a place to go walking. Now.
It’s that simple.
When I started I decided I was going to go the gym 5 days a week. It was May 2009 as school was out for summer. I was taking summer classes and working a lot, but I decided now was the time to change my life. There will never be an ideal time.
I quickly found that 20 minutes on the elliptical each day bored me to freaking tears. So I alternated in a weekly yoga class. Then I discovered how much I liked walking/jogging on a pretty trail near the river. Then I borrowed my sister’s bike a couple of times and realized I loved long bike rides. Then I discovered the usefulness of all sorts of equipment at the gym. Before I knew it, I had so many options for my daily work out. Since I was able to pick whatever workout sounded good that day, working became a fun part of my every day life.
The gym-5-days-a-week plan was quickly replaced by something that makes you sweat every day.
I didn’t take designated days off, because inevitably, there was always a day I just couldn’t fit it in. It was my goal to be active each day.
On really busy weeks sometimes the best I could do was a work out DVD or YouTube video in my living room at midnight. As a college senior this is what worked for me.
You have to find what works for you.
I heard that the more muscle you have, the more calories you’re burning all the time. Loosing weight while sleeping and watching Gilmore Girls sounded like fun so I decided to learn a little about building muscle. Weights are surprisingly not complicated. Mimic someone at the gym. Look up some exercises on YouTube. Or walk up to a weight machine and read the directions. I actually did the later. I decided to do arms and abs because those were the fattest parts of me.
Doing 10 reps of 3 arms workouts and 3 ab work outs two times only added 10 minutes to my total workout. It was so exciting to see my arm-pit fat go.
Thirty min of cardio most days with 10 minutes of weights every other day was doable for me.
The first ten pounds fell off.
2. Eat better.
Once I started loosing weight and feeling better, I didn’t want to slow progress due to my intense love for Heath bars and Cheetos…so I started grabbing an apple on the way out the door for breakfast and picking up fruit for snacks. I was shocked the sweetest things in the world to eat were so good for me.
Some people will tell you to limit your fruit intake because of the sugar. I completely disagree. It’s natures candy and it’s EASILY processed by your body.
No one gets fat from eating fruit.
Replace junk food with fruit and see what happens.
I decided I had to give veggies a chance too. At first I couldn’t eat them without smothering them in cheese. That’s okay. Start where every you are at. Veggies and cheese are better than no veggies at all.
I discovered I love pistachios. Later humus became a huge staple in my diet. Over time, one day at a time, I found healthy food I loved!
3. Read Nutrition Labels – Replace Yucky Foods
So at this point my energy was through the roof. My body was totally loving all the fruit and veggies I was giving it and working out was a regular part of life.
So I decided I had to learn more about what was good for me. Luckily, my mom is a healthy person and was able to sort of help as I went, but in the end, it’s up to you to know the implications of what you eat so I started reading nutrition labels.
A lot of things that are supposedly healthy, really actually suck. Next time you are at the grocery store compare some of your usual foods with other similar products. By comparing food I was used to eating to other foods on the aisle, I was able to pick the healthier options.
I would check out the calories, but I would also check out the ingredients. Things that had sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or bleached flour as one of the first few ingredients were deemed unworthy.
White bread was replaced by wheat bread. Cheddar was replaced by Provolone. Ham was replaced by turkey and later salmon. A venti white chocolate mocha was replaced by a tall soy vanilla latte. Sugary cocktails were replaced by red wine or vodka soda. Mayo, ranch, butter, and whole milk were completely removed from my life. I found dressings and condiments that were much better for you like spicy mustard and balsamic vinaigrette.
I started making salads and sandwiches that actually tasted really good.
If you make food that requires actual cooking, this process would work to find plenty of substitutions for your regular ingredients. I just don’t do the whole cooking thing. 😉
4. Refuse to diet.
I did not deprive myself.
If I wanted What-a-Burger at 2 am, I took my thinning self to the drive-thru. I would remind myself that eating right and working out that day was the reason why a late night snack on the weekends was no big deal.
Today, I don’t eat usually beef or fast food, but back then, it was important for me to not feel deprived. Anything you are not allowed to have, you are going to want that much more.
Do not skip meals.
You have to keep your metabolism going. So eat when you are hungry and work toward getting your portions small. I learned to keep nuts, fruit, and Luna bars in my purse or car. Healthy snacks keep you from over-eating at meals.
This was not a diet. This was a new way of living. This was a path to a better me – it wasn’t dropping weight to fit into a bikini for summer.
I only made changes I could stick with… one day at a time.
A 30 minute workout every day and lots of fruits and veggies were so doable.
That’s why it lasted. That’s why 2 and 1/2 years later I haven’t gained any weight back.
By the time my Senior year of college started (3 months from when I started) I had lost around 20 lbs. By my birthday in mid-September I had lost the entire 30 lbs.
5. No judgement.
I am not 118. I am not a size double zero. That’s not me.
Let go of the idea of how much you “should” weigh or what size you “should” be and work toward being healthy and feeling good.
This isn’t about weight or size. Those things help us measure our progress, but this is about living a balanced, amazing life.
It’s about finding exercise you enjoy and healthy foods you think are scrumptious.
It’s about learning what works for you. It’s a process. It’s one day at a time.
Today, I work out 3-5 times a week. I love yoga. I love running. I love feeling good.
I don’t always feel like working out.
That’s okay. I do it anyway.
Today I have NO desire for Taco Bell or any frozen pizza-like products. I can actually not think of anything in the world I want less, but I still sometimes accidentally eat way too many kettle chips!
That’s okay. I’m human. And I effing love kettle chips.
If I were to judge myself every time I hovered over the buffet at a party or skipped the gym I wouldn’t have made it. I am not, nor will I ever be perfectly healthy.
But I’ve made positive changes along the way and reap the rewards every day.
I love that I can walk into a store and pick up a small size and it fit. I love that (and I still super surprised every time) someone refers to me as little. Most of all, I love that I worked hard, got results, and reminded myself that I can do anything I put my mind too.
Enjoy the process. And remember you deserve a life you love and body you feel hot in.
The only step you are responsible for right now, is the next right step.
So take it.
