Season 3 - Oracle On Purpose Podcast

EP88: How NOT to panic when all seems lost and instead…

There's a great scene in the 2009 comedy movie "Couples Retreat" when the group exploring the ocean sees lemon sharks. Resort owner Marcel (Jean Reno) tells them, "do not panic." With that said, it suddenly sets off the alarm bells, and like an automatic response, Dave (Vince Vaughn) and the rest of them panic more.

In real life, when we are looking at things that seem like they're not going well, it feels as if everything we're trying is making it worse. Does it sound familiar? So how would you like to know how NOT to panic in the face when everything seems lost? How would you like to know how to get yourself together when everything seems like it's falling apart?

Discover how and tune in to this new episode here at the Oracle On Purpose —

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ #1 Take a full, purposeful lung-expanding breath. We're causing a whole host of misalignment in our bodies if we are always in PANIC. What we're doing is sending a signal to our system that we're in a fight or flight mode. Proper breath is the first step out of that fight or flight energy. So do that -- breathe. Take a full, purposeful lung-expanding breath.

✔️ #2 Give yourself the space energetically to step back to look at what is happening in the experience you're having. That could actually be a result of something you have called in. Now, this is where it gets a little bit tricky for most people to do on their own, especially if they're in panic mode. So the second step is really to give yourself space to review what's happening from an objective lens, intending to understand what is happening for you at that moment.

✔️ #3 Ask what underlying belief or the sponsoring thought created your experience. What you think or thought about will present itself to you as evidence that what you believe is valid. Because ultimately, whatever you put into that universal source of manifestation will indeed come true.

✔️ If you are too swamped with worry, anxiety, stress, and panic taking over your life know that you can turn them around for your good. If you're looking for support to do that and understand that the time is now to have someone hold that space for you, I am here to do that. Be part of our next Purpose and Prosperity Accelerator cohort for spring. You can get to work with me for 13 weeks straight and get on the ride to create that massive shift in your life this 2022!

EP87: How much do you TRUST your knowing?

A meaningful life lesson came to remind me when I visited Queen Nefertari at the Portland Art Museum.

While we were getting ready to go inside, I noticed a woman across from me who had a strange little black cube of foam attached to the back of her jacket. It didn't look like it belonged there. I wasn't certain, but a nudge inside me said that it's not supposed to be there. She doesn't know it's there, and I bet she would appreciate someone saying, "Hey, you have something on your jacket." So I walked over, and I tapped on the shoulder, and sure enough, that piece of thing used to take hair off had no place getting stuck to her coat.

It led me to think:

What would have happened if I didn't call her out?

How long would have she been embarrassed having

that thing on her back?

Would somebody have cared or taken the courage to tap her on the shoulder?

What if I was wrong, got embarrassed myself to discover that was supposed to be a new accoutrement for her jacket?

I could have let it go or just waited for others to call her out.

Right? Those are all possible moments that could have existed.

When we don't follow that nudge, it's not just us that could possibly suffer.

Secondly, we can't always expect someone else to step up, speak out or say that truth.

We're forgetting that there's a reason it's coming through us. It's coming through us on purpose: you and I.

That moment is just such a little glimpse into why we should trust our knowing and decide to take action fast.

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ The reality of it is that we are all connected. We are all here to be here together. Everyone around you, people you associate with, and those you're in relationships with right now are interconnected with you and counting on you. The universe is counting on you to show up and do your part.

✔️ Until when will we be hiding behind the belief that someone else will take the courage to do the things we must do? It's time to trust you and TRUST your knowing.

✔️ We commit our lives to create impact in what we suppose to be grandiose ways that may require collecting plaques and awards on the wall. Yet we forget that our lives right now and in every moment we're in them gives us a fresh opportunity to have a true impact daily.

✔️ Sometimes, pointing out something that's not exactly pleasant or comfortable for someone else, requiring you to speak into an environment is a necessity to fulfill that purpose.

✔️ You are not here to convince other people but to speak the truth. Know that it's coming through you so that it exists outside of you and give you insight that others may not know they need to change their lives.

✔️ If you want to make a bigger impact in the world, trusting your inner guide is a good place to start. Begin stepping forward into your own expression and give yourself the permission to respond to that nudge and trust your knowing.

✔️ The road to wealth, prosperity and flow awaits you -- because it's the most authentic you can be. You need to lean into the voice you hear inside you. That inspired thought, idea, desire, or nudge that you're receiving, acknowledge it. That's how it begins. The right thing for you in this moment is for you to see and make the impact you're meant to make.

EP86: You Created This Mess - Now What Are You Going To Do About It?

We all know this as a matter of fact: if you don't like what you see, you can change it. But why is it always challenging to implement change, especially when it's yourself that you have to convince?

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Whatever you're experiencing right now — good, bad or indifferent — you created it. Stop blaming others or the current situation for not reaching a goal that you put out there.

✔️ If you don't like what you see — change it. Your success and failure came from the small decisions you make every day. So if you feel anxious or disappointed from failing to achieve your goals, use it to motivate you instead of keeping you down.

✔️ Inside of that angst is this fertile ground of possibility and potential. Set your new intentions and arrange the groundwork for what you want and desire to finally happen in your life.

✔️ We lose the energy of celebrating what we did achieve because we're focused on who we're not yet, or what we should have. Let's honor our progress and affirm who we are becoming in our journey.

✔️ Sometimes, in that negative experience, the thing that you're not paying attention to is the very thing you asked for. Be clear and come clean with yourself. What do you truly want to achieve for yourself and the world? Focus on what you want to do and the possibilities that await you instead of what can go wrong.

About Lia Dunlap:

EP85: I'm the BEST in the world at helping people...

Are you one of those who feels somehow discordant entering the new year? Perhaps you feel out of balance, or you feel as if you know something unique is trying to come through you, but you haven't quite put your finger on it.

Then this 2022, come forward. You have so much support from the universe. Get that clarity known to you and finally refine your purpose and plan.

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Making beauty from ashes. Do you know who my first client was? MYSELF. With 53 cents in my pocket and the clothes on my back as my only possessions, I needed to get out of my life's lowest low and start over from scratch. What I created, which was beautiful to me looking back, is how I changed myself and am now teaching others how to rise from their rock bottom and manifest their heartfelt desires.

✔️ Ask: What are you the best at in the world? Rethink your New Year's resolutions and see what you have to offer, where you are now, where you're going to go next, and what you are most aligned with. Our purpose always calls us to grow in beautiful yet uncomfortable ways.

✔️ Less doesn't mean more. In 2021, I had fewer clients who worked with me and yet achieved my biggest year EVER! Why was this possible? Simple, it's all because of ALIGNMENT.

I've gotten the chance to only work with clients who resonate with me and are the most amazing people I've come to adore and enjoy working with. Indeed, as long as we're aligned with what we're about and doing, we will meet the right people at the right time.

✔️ Claim 2022 as your year of manifestation and accelerated expansion. This comes true if you know how to listen to your intuition. Allow me to guide you in the right direction as you make this new year an opportunity for exploration and self attunement.

About Lia Dunlap:

EP84: Are You Addicted to the Hard Way?

Our ancestors perpetuated the idea that the hard ways are always the virtuous and valued way. We have created presupposed barriers in our minds thinking that we don't get what we want until we have to go through so much labor and stress. Let me tell you; you deserve to know that is the opposite of what is true.

In this episode, we go deep on:

✔️ The stories playing out throughout my life and my parents' lives are the perpetual ideas that the path to wealth is always the hard way, and what has always been prescribed as truth is that effort equals income.

✔️The idea that chasing things and making them harder is this addictive thing that happens inside you. Inside we say, "But this can't be this easy!" As soon as we say that, we are unaware that we start to manifest the hard things in the real world that validates our decision that everything in life should be tough.

✔️ It doesn't have to be hard unless you choose to let it be hard. The fact that we exist, we deserve to have the best of what life has to offer! Typically, we are resigned to accept that we cannot move forward without ease.

✔️ When the easier ways or opportunities come, we doubt it. If people get to that level where they can quickly make their goals and dreams happen, we see them as an anomaly and aberration.

✔️ Know that you deserve the thing that you're shooting for -- whatever that goal is -- right NOW. Not in a year, not in a month. If you align yourself with who you are, what you want to do in the world, and how it can lead you to your own path to millions -- the journey need not be painstaking but one of ease and grace.

EP83: Finding Liberation and the Right Direction with Megan Winkler

After a few months since Megan Winkler's #AsktheORACLE session, she shares the gift of liberation she received in her career and business after gaining insight and affirmation.

In this episode, we go deep on:

✔️ If you're not in full alignment, then you're not giving all that you have to give to the universe. And the universe isn't able to really help you thrive and live your best life.

✔️ After getting insights from #AsktheOracle, marketing mentor and conscious business coach Megan Winkler received potent information that brought deep awareness and also vague points that she knew she needed to figure out for herself. Like Megan, everyone benefits from intuitive and grounded guidance.

✔️ Every day is an opportunity to pursue growth and keep walking. In life, we're capable of receiving guidance, but often, not knowing every step gives room for the universe to do its magic.

✔️ Many people find themselves stuck with the overwhelm of having to do X or Y and whether to put the energy here or over there. Sometimes we fail to see that everything we do go towards fulfilling our bigger purpose.

✔️ Knowing that you are doing what you are supposed to do allows you to stay stronger in your choices. The better aligned we are with our ultimate goal and purpose, the more succinct and simple our choices become.

EP82: Want to know why hiding your "Freaky" Side will kill your business?

Suppressing who you truly are and what you're all about will suck the life, joy and flow out of you. Believe me, hiding your "quirky" side will kill your business! Join me in this episode of The Oracle On Purpose — 🎥

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Many of you will agree that, as people, we feel nervous about letting our freak flag fly. We fear the judgment and the ridicule of showing up in all aspects of ourselves. We tend to adjust who we are for who we want to be.

✔️ Are you the real deal? Remember, you have multiple dimensions. Stop hiding parts of you that make you - YOU. When you share that with your community and your audience — you develop a level of intimacy and honest vulnerability with them.

✔️ If you're connecting with the right people, the vibration you're sending out is the message they need to receive. What parts of you do you try hard to polish? Be wary, and you may be becoming this one-dimensional person who's not real. When people "experience" you, they may feel no depth to it. People cannot trust and connect to something or someone who's not real.

✔️ In theater, performers are taught to break the fourth wall between them and the audience. The goal is to strive for connection. In the digital world, how can we break the fourth wall when we appear across social media? By showing up as a natural person who has real emotions and real passions, only then can someone else connect and genuinely resonate with you.

About Lia Dunlap:

EP81: Are you arguing for your indecision?

Are you a person who is always WAITING for opportunities to come your way?

Are you constantly weighing and PONDERING on your next move?

Have you gone RESEARCHING forever without coming up with a conclusion?

How many friends and coaches have you kept ASKING, and you're still stuck in that place of indecision?

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Take a moment and ask yourself: what's the thing you're avoiding by not making the decision? Asking this important question in your inner process will help you understand what's keeping you from getting to your next level of expansion.

✔️ If you can't make up your mind, maybe you are too comfortable staying within the safety of not deciding because you secretly don't want to take action.

✔️ Prune your life to prune your business. Assess old beliefs, habits, and even people keeping you from becoming your best SELF and making your energy leak out into different areas that are irrelevant for your growth. Look at the things or people who aren't serving you anymore and prevent you from becoming your best to your clients and your people.

✔️ Get out of your own way. Do not let mistakes of the past and the fear of the future hinder you from fulfilling your purpose. You deserve every piece of success the universe has in store for you!

✔️ Who will you be when you're on your path to millions? STOP pretending that it's okay to be of service without being compensated. STOP downplaying your own value.

STOP believing there's a limit based on what others have set possible for you. You are made for prosperity, for unimaginable blessings and a life that overflows and enriches many others.

EP80: Ask the Oracle Check-In with Shannon Peebles

In June 2021, a specific number and images popped up for Shannon Peebles as she asked her most pressing questions about rebooting her systems and strategies. As promised, we're back to discover how her reading with #AsktheORACLE has impacted her life and business. 🔮 ✨

Come see for yourself.

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Whenever I get together with a client, I only deliver the message and let people know the insight. What they do with the insight is entirely up to them. Shannon applied what she heard and sees her new fold of clients and partners as she gains clarity, implements change, and sees prosperity coming.

✔️ Shannon let go of a team member to make space for the new. She found the person more aligned with what she is hoping to create, serving as a project manager, which she needs to help her. The shifting and changing with her current team members help ensure that her service is tailor-fit to every client.

✔️ The image the Oracle gave for Shannon building a boutique agency with the black gloves and pearls is being realized as she creates the elevated version of her business.

✔️ Understand why you must shun putting time frames on things. Give space for the universe to rearrange itself. The whole picture will look muddy and uncomfortable in the beginning. Focus on how much progress you've already made and the possibility that's still coming.

EP78: How I Helped My Client Find $40,000 In Her Business with Lia Dunlap

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Know your numbers. So many entrepreneurs and business leaders tend to steer away from dealing with the nitty-gritty of their finances. They get frustrated and overwhelmed by the charts, details and data, and don't know what to do.

✔️ You could be leaking money from all kinds of different areas where you don't take the time to look. You can't afford not knowing how your money comes and goes, including how to spend it strategically to manage your personal and business expenses.

✔️ Get experts to take care of your books. Some people feel they're not making enough money to hire professionals. And yet, if you're not skilled or experienced enough to understand (especially with your taxes), you can be making a lot of costly money mistakes.

✔️ If you have a business, ideally, you should be getting paid first. You who do all the things, putting your heart & energy out there, should regularly get rewarded for your efforts. Doing so avoids getting the feeling of being burnt out and shortchanged. By carefully watching your numbers and using that money to support yourself to continue to give whatever it is you're delivering in the world.

✔️ It's a lot of fun to see what happens when you track how your numbers are progressing. You want to make sure that you make everything you can from the business that you're putting so much into and enjoy the journey of growth.

EP77: Setting Boundaries with Lia Dunlap

Are you feeling out of control, a little bit fed up, over the edge or maybe reaching the ends of your limit? Without fail, this stems from the lack of enforcing boundaries and failing to communicate them to others. Boundaries are really a huge foundational component of success. Learn how to set and honor them to avoid unnecessary stress and avoid establishing expectations that cannot be met.

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ The reason we don't set boundaries is because we are concerned that it will make us seem unkind. We believe the story that somehow our business, our company, and our brand will suffer because people won't feel like we are accommodating or nice to them.

✔️ Having boundaries allows us to create that strength that people get to lean on. That is the kindest thing you can do and be the best thing you can provide for the people you serve.

✔️ Establish and honor your time blocks. The beauty that is it allows the people you're interacting with to have some structure when they can expect to connect with you and enables you to create when to be off and on the clock.

✔️ Always under-promise so that you can over-deliver. When your capacity is at full, you can give more than what they can expect. Create that space to allow more overflow and bring your magic to the world.

✔️ They will know, like and trust you & they also feel they can refer people to you. That is the goal. Setting boundaries allows you to have greater freedom, fulfillment and results to deliver for your clients and customers.

EP76: 3 Shocking Things I Learned from My Juice Cleanse... that I never learned from #75Hard

We all know it... the cycle of starting with excitement and falling off the wagon so many times as we attempt to pursue becoming our healthier and fitter selves. You can constantly get distracted and unmotivated.

Tune in and learn 3 Shocking Things I Learned from My Juice Cleanse... that I never learned from #75Hard.

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Mindset is more than mental toughness. Taking on a new health goal isn't just about the eating plan or losing a few pounds. It's about caring for yourself and your body. To succeed, make the mindset shift that isn't all about the scale.

✔️ Consistency is different from commitment. Pushing too hard and too fast, especially when pressing on to achieve weight loss goals, doesn't work for many. Changing our mindset rooted in loving ourselves enough and not to the physical standards we wish to obtain will help us reach goals sooner.

✔️ Partnership over competition. Having a partner who's actually in the same process as you makes the challenging goal of becoming healthier and fitter more doable. Keep each other on track and be supported and lifted up when it gets tough.

✔️ Take the appropriate steps to get yourself back in alignment, take care & nurture yourself and take a break. I am really excited about this journey that I'm on! I am recalibrating what it means to take care of myself so that I can take care of my clients and my family. I am making the conscious choices to add years to my life and enjoy the best people and business.
