189 - The Secret Sauce to Achieving Success in Business and Life No Matter What

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0700

In this episode of Assertive Radiance, show host Nadia Fleury embarks on a journey to uncover the secret to success in business and life, driven by a profound question sparked by a conversation with her friend Ana. Ana's frustration with Nadia's unwavering determination sets the stage for an exploration into the common challenges people face on their journey to success.

Nadia dives into the roots of these struggles, reflecting on the evolution of business culture from the 20th century's ego-driven leaders to the 21st century's awareness of suppressed emotions and the consequences of prioritizing perfection over well-being. She shares her personal journey, which led to a transformative encounter with a man named Phil and a divine intervention that changed the course of her life.

This transformative episode explores the profound realization that emerged over years of self-discovery, emphasizing the vital role of emotions and authenticity in finding success.

Join Nadia on this journey to understanding how embracing vulnerability can be the key to unlocking a thriving business and life.

Here are the key ingredients for gaining better clarity, a crucial step towards achieving success in both business and life:

Ingredient #1: Embrace Vulnerability and Authenticity Over the Superwoman Archetype

Nadia emphasizes the importance of embracing vulnerability and authenticity, encouraging individuals to move away from the 'Superwoman' archetype. She shares a personal anecdote about her own emotional disconnection, likening it to trying to get hot water without a kettle base. Nadia highlights the adverse effects of bottling up emotions, which not only affect one's state of mind but also impact those around them. Additionally, she explains the distinction between power and genuine empowerment.

Ingredient #2: The Role of Emotions

Nadia delves into the significance of emotions as the driving force behind our actions. She explains that when emotions are infused with a profound desire to benefit both oneself and the world, they become the spark that ignites actions, providing the energy and determination necessary to achieve goals.

Ingredient #3: Conquering Fear and Facing Challenges for Growth

Nadia motivates listeners to step outside their comfort zones, confront their fears, and embrace challenges with the willingness to try new things. She likens this process to trying on a new pair of pants – if they don't fit, you keep trying until you find the right pair. The law of averages comes into play, with each attempt increasing the chances of achieving one's heart's desire.

Ingredient #4: Finding a Solid Inner Anchor

This ingredient emphasizes the importance of finding a solid anchor within oneself. Drawing from her personal journey, Nadia highlights the significance of listening to intuition and shifting focus away from external influences that may not align with one's true desires. She shares her childhood experience of witnessing Nadia Comăneci's success at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, providing insight into how unwavering determination can transform vulnerability into inner strength, enabling individuals to overcome adversity.

Ingredient #5: The Power of Critical Thinking

Nadia spotlights the role of critical thinking in safeguarding one's mind. She emphasizes that critical thinking is a skill that cannot be bought, borrowed, or stolen. It plays a pivotal role in breaking free from codependency, overcoming addiction, and making healthy transformations. Ultimately, mastering critical thinking empowers individuals to become unwavering forces for good in their lives, for their loved ones, and for the world at large.

188 - How to use critical thinking to avoid scams as an entrepreneur?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 03:00:00 -0700

Have you ever found yourself involved in a situation or purchase, only to realize you've been misled? In today's world, manipulative communication is on the rise, making it increasingly challenging to evaluate information. Fortunately, there's a solution: enhancing your critical thinking skills.

Critical thinking is a valuable resource for quickly discerning the validity of the information you encounter. It can help you make sharper decisions, improve problem-solving abilities, gain a deeper understanding of the world, and enhance your creativity, breaking free from constraints.

For as long as I can remember, critical thinking has been one of my superpowers. However, since it's a process, not just an outcome, I never considered sharing it with you until I got triggered the other day.

The trigger came from a post on Facebook. I found myself wondering why I was seeing it and how to handle the situation. As my mind began to form some ideas around it, I thought, 'What if I use this post as an opportunity to show you how I decipher messages?'

Critical thinking serves as the foundation for three essential ingredients for success: Energy, Strategy, and Implementation. Remember also that critical thinking is required to formulate sound plans and effectively implement strategies. Furthermore, the absence of critical thinking can lead to self-doubt, indecision, and uncertainty about how to proceed with implementation.

The aim of this podcast is to empower you with the knowledge of how to read between the lines and recognize whether the information you've received is genuine or not.

187- Finding the courage to surrender and conquer your fears

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0700

The fear of loss and the struggle to surrender are among the most challenging aspects of profound transformation, but they are necessary to achieve life fulfillment. However, it's during this stage that many entrepreneurs become quite creative in finding ways to avoid the process.

But why is it so challenging? Because it exposes our vulnerability, which is often perceived as a sign of weakness by many. Furthermore, we are so deeply entwined with our own stories that we sometimes fail to recognize that it's our personal narrative that is causing our own suffering.

The fear of letting go, whether it's related to material possessions, long-held beliefs, or the security of the familiar, can be paralyzing. Nobody enjoys losing because we've been conditioned for years to view loss as something negative.

In this episode, Nadia daringly reveals her secrets, bares her essence, and unveils the beauty within the healing and transformative journey.

183 - What's a False Belief?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 20:23:00 -0700

Fifteen years ago, in a moment of inspiration, I thought, what if I could create a world-class skincare brand from the ground up? The idea germinated for a while. Then 11 years ago, I left the corporate world, rolled up my sleeves, and gave birth to Avesence skincare without realizing all the struggle it would lead me into. At the time, I assumed I would be financially successful very quickly, but God had other plans for me.

To get HIS message, I had to undo many false beliefs and learn to appreciate each and every step of the journey. The whole experience led me to discover many life secrets, which I'm sharing with you, with the hope that it will inspire you to live your life to the fullest. Hello and welcome to Assertive Radiance. I am your host, Nadia Fleury. And today's episode: "What's a false belief?"

Thank you so much for tuning in. I so appreciate that you are here today. We are going to talk about what is a false belief and why it matters in the first place. The reason why it's important to know about your false belief is because, well, life is full of turbulence. You can never predict what's going to happen next. The better equipped you are, meaning more aware, the less affected you will be.

And so this show today will explain what a false belief is and why it's important for you to know or to notice the problem that it will cause around you. And third, I'm going to also share how to overcome it. A false belief is something that is not true but that you believe it is.

Most of the time, we swim in it so much that we don't even realize we are in it, just like a fish. If you try to explain the fish that is swimming in water, it will not understand what you're talking about. For him, it's normal. The point of this talk is not to eradicate every false belief theref there is on this planet that would take me the rest of my life without achieving anything constructive.

The idea is to bring awareness in your life to see how it affects you because, at the end of the day, we only have so much amount of hours in a day and so much amount of energy. And the whole concept of false belief. What it does is when you don't realize that it's in your programming, it can weigh you down.

And that is the reason why I'm bringing this up, because if you don't have a false belief that is bothering you, then you can soar, you can fly high, you can do your thing. You don't feel like you're always distracted with something. And false belief starts when either I pick up an idea and assume that it's true or someone feeds me information.

In this case, it happened years ago when the time when I was married, my mother-in-law, who is from the UK, shared her contempt for Indian men who walk ten feet in front of their wives. And when she told me that story, she was really not happy because, as far as she was concerned, she felt that Indian men were not respecting women.

But that was her belief, not mine. However, at the time that she mentioned it to me, I knew nothing of this whole world of belief. So, the story was somewhere embedded in my mind, and I completely forgot about it.

Then a few months ago, I was waiting at a red light and while I was waiting in my car for the first time, I witness what she was talking about.

There was an Indian man, perhaps in his late seventies, walking with a stick ten feet in front of his wife. The man looked frail; almost unsafe for him to walk alone. I thought that if he had been more considerate towards his wife, she could have been there by his side for support. But too bad for him that he chose this cultural habit over his well-being.

Notice here how my mind went into judgment, which was contempt for the habit because it's how I received the information while I was unconscious. Then the red light changed into green. And I drove away. But I brought negative thoughts with me. I kept wondering why Indian men behave like that? And suddenly, I felt a whisper from within.

What if what my mother-in-law said wasn't true? What if the habit is actually a means for Indian men to honor their wives by blessing the path their wives walk on? I will never know the true story. And bear in mind that the real purpose of this talk is not about knowing the truth about Indian culture.

It's about how I feel inside. I didn't feel good inside when my mind was swimming in judgment, but when I saw a different perspective, my heart swelled with love and admiration for the Indian man who was willing to fight lions and tigers regardless of how feeble he was to make sure his wife would be safe wherever she went.

As I mentioned earlier, the point of living is having the energy to do what we love most. Letting our minds drown with false beliefs by bringing judgment inside our hearts lowers our energy vibration. Our energy is everything because we can't accomplish anything without it. Our thoughts can get us frustrated or angry or bring us joy, depending on how we relate to the information we receive.

What I did in the car was to bring discernment. I gave myself space to think that there might be other explanations I was unaware of. The experience made me realize that our well-being is affected by what we bring inward, not just what we take in terms of nourishment but also what we choose to dwell upon. The only thing we can control is our state of mind, and if we desire to be happy, we must shield our thoughts the same way we safeguard our precious possessions.

Happiness is an inside job. Nothing or nobody can make you feel happy inside but yourself. So, if you don't like something in your life or always feel frustrated or angry, I invite you to reflect upon what you bring inward. The main question here is, why do we keep struggling with life?

Because most of the time, our false beliefs are unconscious. We swim in it without knowing any better and don't realize why we feel suppressed or oppressed.

Imagine you were told at one point in time that you were not good enough and you've been living most of your life without questioning if it's true or not.

Remember, the subconscious mind is not equipped to discern. So, if you state that the belief is true, your mind will make sure it is true until you change it.

It also explains why so many of us are stuck. You may have written your goals and objectives on nice paper, yet never seem to live your dream life.

And that's because we cannot rise beyond our unconscious limitations. When our soul is obstructed with false beliefs, it acts like a dark cloud suppressing our ability to see the truth. We can't see, hence why we lack clarity in what we want in life.

We don't know who we are or our true talents and abilities. Gradually, we lose touch with our intuitions. It starts when we are young.

At school, we get conditioned to believe that our self-worth resides in our grades. The elite must have felt ahead of the game until their minds got caught up in the competitive mindsets.

However, for most of us, when we saw red marks all over our exam papers, we felt degraded.

This programming follows us at work when we wait for our boss to decide whether we deserve a pay raise. I don't know about you, but when I worked in the corporate world, my yearly review was when my boss told me the 1% I did wrong.

I was unconscious then and didn't realize that brooding over the unfairness stripped me of my powers. I took the lie into my soul without realizing how much damage I caused to my "self." My powers reside in my energy, so anything that zapped my energy strips me from my powers.

In conclusion, if you have put your dreams on a back burner and can't master the energy to get going, I invite you to sit with your thoughts and see what's underneath.

Remember, the more you know yourself, the better equipped you are to face adversity. I hope that this episode was insightful. If you feel it can help a friend, please share it. Please stay safe and healthy, and let's chat next month. Have a fabulous day.

182 - A New Beginning

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 11:00:00 -0700

Fifteen years ago, in a moment of inspiration, I thought: "What if I could create a world-class skincare brand from the ground up." The idea germinated for a while. Then, eleven years ago, I left the corporate world, rolled up my sleeves, and gave birth to Avesence without realizing all the struggle it would lead me into.

At the time, I assumed I would be financially successful very quickly, but God had other plans for me. To get HIS message, I had to undo many false beliefs and learn to appreciate each and every step of the journey. The whole experience led me to discover many life secrets, which is what I'm going to share with you.

__________________

Today, since the show is about "a new beginning," I want to reintroduce myself. I know I've previously mentioned that I'm an entrepreneur; I created a skincare brand, I'm a mother, and I was married for 19 years and then divorced.

But what if I removed all these labels? What if I'm no longer a mother, a friend, a sister, an ex-wife, a podcaster? Who am I, then?

My aha moment came when I contracted Covid last August. For as long as I can remember, I was always on the go, doing something. I either work, read, think, cook, walk, garden, or clean.

For eight days, Covid obliged me to be still—as I had no energy to get up. Finding myself without energy helped me realize how much our energy matters.

On the fifth day, I couldn't sleep because my body was aching from being too long in bed. As I tossed and turned, I started to think of all the people who were severely sick with Covid and were hospitalized for months. Then I thought about the people who didn't make it.

Then my mind shifted toward all the people who struggle with an illness and are not sure if they will fully recover.

Then I thought of Steve Jobs. From an American society's perspective, Jobs was admired by many and was labeled as a successful, wealthy innovator. But how did he feel the last few months, lying in a hospital bed, knowing his time was almost up? He could have all the wealth in the world, but he couldn't delegate his sickness to anyone. Did any of his labels matter at that point?

Then I fell into some kind of twilight zone, and something profound arose from within. I started to see the labels I had identified myself with. As I detached myself from them, I could feel the dept of consciousness tickling my soul. But this was just the beginning. At one point, I saw myself half inside a huge bubble and the other outside. The part that was outside felt free, but the part that was inside was scared.

The best way I can explain this is by sharing this story.

Imagine when we are born; we are pure love and light, which is our consciousness. Then as we grow up, we are told stuff. Some words or events are encouraging and kind, others hurtful.

And as a defense mechanism, the mind finds ways to cope with unpleasant lessons by putting a little strip of plaster and bandages around the soul. We gradually mummify our souls to a point where we no longer see who we truly are. We see ourselves through society's labels and roles.

For example, when we visit a doctor, a person will be labeled as a physician while I'm labeled "the patient" because I have to wait a long time. Society dictates that we must be OK with that.

I realized that when our being is wrapped around in labels, we turn into zombie-like humans. We function on autopilot and will do and behave according to the mind programming dictated by our environment.

A mummified soul cannot see the light and will feel disconnected from Source, leading to a lack of clarity. When we can't see, what do we do? We tread carefully. We play safe. After many years of doing the same things, we lose touch with our intuitions.

Every discomfort, stress, anxiety, worry, and body pain indicate something is wrong, and we need to coast correct. But the mind and the environment are so accustomed to all the labels we have created that we don't want to make any changes.

That's when you hear people say: "You don't understand; I have no choice. I must keep doing this or lose my job, status, etc."

Before I go further, I must add. It took me months to process what I'm sharing, and I'm still unraveling new information. It's the main reason why I postpone releasing any episode. I had to remove the label that I'm a podcaster and be willing to lose fans along the way.

Second, it's pretty painful to go through label removal.

Now, I know what you're going to say. If it's so painful, why bother removing the labels?

Because that's when you get to experience what freedom truly is.

Labels keep you in bondage, in the dark, and fear. They prevent you from moving about freely, which limits your energy flow.

My greatest realization is this. The only way to live an authentic life is by letting go of all that is inauthentic within and around us. And the first step to achieving that is by removing any labels. That's when the light of your soul can suddenly breathe through you. And when that happens, it's like being born again; you become alive and abundant with joy, love, and creativity.

This concludes today's episode. If you enjoyed the show, please share it.

I'm not sure when I will release the next episode, perhaps next week or next month. Until then, stay safe and healthy, and have a fabulous day!

I wondered: “Are we stuck living in stress and anxiety for the rest of our lives?” Or is there something we could do that would help us live happily ever after, stress-free? Let’s face it, worrying and dreading cloud our imagination which limits us from our full potential.

This episode is for you if you want to know how to live a peaceful, blissful life without stress and anxiety. To help me shine the spotlight on the root cause, I asked my good friend Snow White to come and join me on my quest.

What better way to see things from a new perspective than diving into a child’s tale. After all, children’s stories are based on truth.

179 - The Magic Path of Intuition

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 08:00:00 -0700

I’ve got to say, I’m fascinated by the art of living. As a teenager, I assumed that the purpose of living was to accumulate money, but now I see things from a different perspective. There’s a difference between wealth and money. Money per se is simply a tool to facilitate a transaction. Wealth is more about knowledge. A wealthy person has acquired the ability to get whatever he or she wants in life without violating the rights of others. It’s like having rich soil with the right nutrient for perfect growth.

Life is about accessing that place called abundance. Abundance in things and in happiness too.

If you want to experience more happiness and live a happy, rich life but feel stuck, I invite you to take the Quiz: What’s Your #1 Unconscious Roadblock that keeps you stuck.

Today I will continue sharing Florence Scovel Shinn’s wisdom taken from her book: “The Magic Path of Intuition” where she explains the 4 steps to access all that you desire in life:

Speaks the words: Your words act as a magic wand.
Follow your hunches or intuitions: They come in the form of flashes of images aimed to reveal what’s your best next step.
Dig your ditches: Take action to prove that you have faith.
Give infinite intelligence the right of way: When you want something and have exhausted any known ways to get it, give it to the universe to deal with it.

171 - How to Cope with Anxiety

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Sun, 05 Sep 2021 09:00:00 -0700

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a young gal who was

seeking advice on “How to cope with anxiety.”

And I thought my answer might be beneficial for you too. In this episode, I’m going to share her message and my response. Bear in mind that I changed her identity for privacy.

Hi, I’m writing to you because I’m seeking advice on how to cope with anxiety.

My name is Paprika, I’m in my 30s, married with a 9-year-old daughter, and I feel stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. I’m not happy with my life as it seems that no matter what I do, it’s never right. I’m super anxious when I’m at work, especially around my boss, who owns the company. Every time I see him, I dread he’s going to fire me.

The other day, I made a mistake and invoiced the wrong amount to a client, and my boss yielded to me in front of everybody else. I was so embarrassed. He said: “For the price I pay you, that’s all you do make mistakes! I’m starting to wonder why you are on my payroll.”

The thing is, my boss is known to flare up at the slightest bad news. I’m not singled out in his treatment; he talks to everyone else the same way, but I don’t like how I feel when it happens. The morale is low; everybody walks on eggshells. The work in itself is OK, and I get along fine with my co-workers. But it seems the more I dread, the more mistakes I make.

Please don’t tell me to quit my job because I need the money to pay my bills.

When I come home, I feel so tired, which makes me clumsy and forgetful. Again, my spouse yells at me every time I make a mistake. They are silly mistakes, like the other day, I forgot to pay one bill on time.

Another time, I burned the dinner by accident. Whenever my spouse finds out, I made a mistake, he screams and calls me names, which I don’t like when he does that, especially in front of our daughter.

The thing is that he is right; I’m forgetful and don’t pay attention. For the life of me, I seem not to know how to do anything right anymore.

Last night, I lay awake in my bed, and I started questioning my own existence. I realized that I

don’t like myself. I’m overweight, constantly tired, and absolutely unhappy. My anxiety is stopping me from doing anything fun. I don’t go anywhere except to work and do the groceries. I’m now wondering, am I on this earth to be yelled at left and right?

I know you talk a lot about choices in your podcasts, but I wonder, what choices do I have?

To leave my job and my spouse? We are already struggling financially as a couple, so the idea of being on my own frightens me to no end. The one thing that keeps me going is my daughter. Any insights that can help me cope with the situation I’m in would be greatly

appreciated. Thank you!

_________________

Dear Paprika,

First, I want to commend you for acknowledging that something is not right in your life. It’s easy to pretend all is well. The fact that you are reaching out for support is a huge step towards taking responsibility for your own happiness. I congratulate you on that!

There are many things you can do to shift the energy around without leaving your job and your spouse. Now, before I go into the detail, only you can tell if your spouse’s shortcomings are caused by his own stress, which sometimes happens when money is tight. Or is he crossing the line and fall into the mental abuse category? If you are dealing with spousal abuse, I will encourage you to seek further help as this is not my arena of expertise.

When reading your letter, the first thing that comes to mind is that what’s happening at home and work are linked to the same root cause.

I would invite you to readjust your healthy boundaries. Sometimes we are taught to be tolerant with others until it takes a toll on our health.

From what you’ve written, the anxiety you are experiencing is the body’s way to tell you something is not in alignment.

Before anyone can respect you, you’ve got to respect yourself. And that starts with healthy boundaries. You know in your heart what is acceptable and what is not. Tolerating what is not will take a toll on your mental health as well as your physical body. Often, especially when we are in it, we don’t realize we accept and take personally other people’s shortcomings. Of course, I’m aware that it’s easier said than done. One of the ways you could respond, especially to your spouse, would be to simply look at him with a smile and say: “Well, thank you for sharing your opinion.” But then be firm. Make yourself understood that you do not need to hear any more on the subject. If he keeps going on at you, be firm and stop him: “Honey, Thank you! Enough. Stop!

If you dread even asking your spouse to stop, I would invite you to ask deep questions about why you let others speak to you in a way that hurts your feelings. Then pen the answers down in a personal journal. Go deep and as far as you can in your childhood. See if you are repeating the same dynamic as your parents. Or ask when did it all start? What would you like instead?

Sometimes, because we live with disempowering behaviors for so long, we take dysfunction as being normal.

The fact that your body is sending stressed signals tells you that something is not normal.

Here is another suggestion that applies to your spouse. Pick a moment when the two of you are alone and share the stressful situation you are in at work and ask for his support.

Explain that when you come home, you are exhausted from work and that it hurts your feeling when he goes on and on about your mistakes.

Also, if you are tired after work and, let’s say 90% of the time, you are the one who cooks.

Delegate the task for your spouse to cook. A well-balanced couple means both should shares responsibilities. “Hey, Honey, can you take care of dinner tonight? I’m exhausted. Or, hey Honey, how about we make dinner together?

Your spouse may not realize that he’s “hard on you emotionally.”

Some people feel that they are doing you a favor by critiquing your doings. It could be their “love language” when they were a child.

Remember that many of us have been conditioned, from childhood, to fear making mistakes. Some may have been brutally punished when they made a mistake while they were small.

As we grow up, some of us will realize that making mistakes is part of living, while others, they fear it, is actually visceral. For them, the fear is so great; all they do is focus on everybody else’s mistake.

They do that as a coping mechanism judging themselves by feeling better when someone does worse in their mind. If this is the case with your spouse, you’ve got to give back to him what belongs to him.

What I’m saying here is that you’ve got to create healthy boundaries. You are not responsible for anyone else’s feelings but your own. Nor do you deserve to be punished every time something happens that didn’t turn out the way it was expected.

When we care, we may internalize other people’s feelings, body language, or their shortcomings to our detriment. The trouble is that we can’t control others. In doing so, it leads to anxiety. Remember that anxiety, although unpleasant, is a form of communication. Your body is telling you that what is happening around you is not suitable for you.

Anxiety is fear in disguise. As you worry, your mind keeps dwelling on worst-case scenarios.

These thoughts put you in a never-ending cycle of painful emotions, which prevents you from focusing on the good things you do or the good things you could be doing instead.

Since what you focus on expands, fretting over future mistakes puts your mind out of control. Nobody can think straight when out of control, hence why you are experiencing more mistakes or become forgetful as the day goes by.

It takes effort to cope with life’s demands. And effort takes energy. When most of your energy is spent on worry, you no longer have any capacity to deal with any important matter at hand. Therefore, it is no wonder why you feel overwhelmed and exhausted. On top of not having the energy to exercise, in a state of stress, you might be more inclined to eat not-so-healthy “comfort food,” which over time may add to your excess weight.

We need the energy to live, think, and do things. Every living thing carries within itself energy. How the energy is used creates different chemical reactions. We are all intertwined in the same ecosystem of energy exchange and chemical reactions. Anxiety, fear as well as love release in your body different kinds of chemical reactions.

Think for a moment. How do you feel when your daughter shares with you a picture she draws of both of you playing at the park?

You feel warm and fuzzy inside. Her actions fill your heart with something that feels wonderful. That feeling is love. On the opposite end, how do you feel when your boss speaks unkindly to you or one of your co-workers? Suddenly, the mood seems to congeal because negative energy lowers the energy vibration. That’s why we say the atmosphere turned icy.

From these two examples, you can tell that energy can either be negative or positive, depending on what is done and how you take it.

I’m sharing these details because it’s important to understand that although invisible to the naked eye, the energy we carry has a way to impregnates itself on other people.

One negative person has the power to affect everyone around him or

herself. I call negative people energy vampires. They are not happy with themselves, and they spread their unhappiness around them. We don’t see energy, but we can feel it. Like you mentioned, “everybody walks on eggshells.” Negative people are driven by their ego, and they create drama causing duality and separation. In this situation, your heart moves away from what feels warm and fuzzy and gets replaced with cold and unpleasant things. It’s this energy that takes you to that place where you wonder about your existence. It’s that same negative energy that makes you feel unhappy with yourself and life in general.

Someone’s negative energy is contagious, and considering what you wrote, your boss’s negativity is now within you. It wouldn’t matter if you changed your job or husband, because like attracts like. As long as the negative energy is within you, you will simply replace it with the same thing. It’s like changing a dollar for four quarters.

To move away from anxiety and regain happiness, you’ve got to address the negative energy within you. The only antidote to negativity is love. Love unites; negativity disconnects.

The best source of love starts within— with self-love and self-respect, and this is where the word empowerment comes in. My definition of empowerment means that you are taking control over your mind and your destiny, and you are not letting anyone spoil your day.

At first, to regain energy, you will need to identify who surrounds you with love and who’s not.

Now mind you, I’m not suggesting you become co-dependent on someone else’s love. The idea is to look for allies that will boost you to get out of feeling exhausted.

I believe that once you figure out how to protect yourself from your hostile employer, your home life will improve too. I wouldn’t be surprised that your own negativity triggers your spouse.

Journaling will determine the source of love. It could be that negative people have surrounded you throughout your life. Therefore, no one around you, nor at home nor at work, has a positive influence.

If this is the case, acknowledge it for what it is without judgment. Being hard on yourself will only increase your anxiety. Knowing is the first step to empowerment. The more you know, the better you can be prepared.

Let’s say you have determined that neither at work nor at home, you can find someone that can help you feel better; then, I invite you to find a book or audio that will inspire you.

Or listen to quiet music or something that makes you feel good inside.

All that said, here are other options to help you cope with anxiety.

When you feel that anxiety is about to knock you out of balance, the first thing to do is to stop what you are doing. If you are at work, find a moment when you can walk away from your desk. Go somewhere safe where you can just close your eyes for a minute and breathe. When we are anxious, we forget to breathe. Your breath is the first thing you can control any time something unpleasant happens.

Mastering self-control is key to empowerment because you prevent body chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol from contaminating your body. Remember, you are not responsible for anyone’s shortcomings but your own.

You do not have to take responsibility for someone’s anger, sadness, pain, etc. You can sympathize but not agonize.

Assuming you can count on your spouse to tap into that place called love, sit down with him, and explain what you have discovered. Ask him for his support. He may have his own negative situations at work. If this is the case, both of you need to stick together to help one another cope.

The idea here is for both of you to become aware that what has happened in your life could be different if you re-discover yourself and have mutual respect for another.

Healthy communication is key! The idea is to move away from anything that feels yucky, like blaming or shaming the other for something. After all, mistakes are part of living.

If you can’t count on your spouse’s support, you’ve got to

take responsibility for your own happiness. I know from experience that it’s much easier to change yourself than trying to change someone else’s behavior. When you change, everything around you starts changing.

Another thing you need to ask yourself, and I’m sorry if this hurts your feeling as I’m pointing this out, be mindful that you haven’t fallen into jockey for the victim position.

A victim looks for disempowering events to prove to themselves that they are doomed and why all the bad things happen to them. Make sure this is not part of your false beliefs. Remember that all of us, including you and your spouse, have our own narrative. We create stories that we believe to be true. And then, we pick partners to match the story we created.

Another thing to take into consideration is to remove any attachment to anything you are afraid to lose. For instance, the more you are attached to your work, the more you will fear your boss when he threatens to fire you. Another thing to consider is to document your boss’s mental assaults. This advice is a little out of my league, but I’m sure you can find resources online that will explain more.

One thing I noticed is that many employers are looking for great employees. So, you might feel more empowered once you take the initiative to update your resume. Nobody can predict the future; however, it’s easier to weather the storm when prepared.

If your employer follows through and fires you or one of your co-workers, see it as a blessing in disguise. Say to yourself that God had something greater for that person or you. I know from experience that divine intervention may not look like what you expect,

causing you to believe that life is unfair. It’s often God’s way to show a better path, a way to live that will lead you to life fulfillment. Another way to see it is that if your employer can’t see the value in you, then he doesn’t deserve you.

I know sometimes these setbacks may feel like you reach rock bottom. However, you will find out that as long as you keep breathing, you will have the ability to climb back up.

In conclusion, please remember that anxiety is a symptom, not the problem. The real cure is within. You’ve got to be willing to dig inward to find out the root cause. All that said, although it’s an inward investigation, you don’t need to do this alone.

To turn your life around, all you need is the willingness to take a small step towards doing something new.

In short, your happiness depends on what you are willing to choose to do next.

If you are truly tired of lying awake at night feeling anxious and dreading your tomorrow.

You are at the point where you know, inside your heart, that you deserve to be happy. For you (who desire to live to your full potential), I’m inviting you to schedule a free 30-minute exploratory call.

170 - How to prepare for your next destination?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Sat, 07 Aug 2021 13:35:00 -0700

Before creating a new beginning, the old cycle must close bringing with it sadness and pain.

In this episode, Nadia shares how to stay on course and go through uncertainty to create change.

169 - How to deal with low self-worth?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia shares her correspondence that transpired not too long ago from one of our dearest listeners, named Blanca. In the said letter, Blanca writes to Nadia asking for guidance or advice regarding her predicament about dealing with low self-worth.

As a response, Nadia replies to Blanca, expressing her insight into dealing with low self-worth and eventually turning a bitter experience into fruitful and unconditional self-love.

According to Nadia, trouble usually arises when you try to suppress your feelings. And so, the first step in recovery would be to forgive yourself. Once you let go of all the negative energy, you find goodness starting to flow within you. And one way to release all the negativities is through nature. Indeed, Nadia firmly believes that nature has a way to heal your soul because Mother Nature nurtures the mind, body, and soul.

Further, Nadia illustrates how to deal with unkind opinions and hurtful words directed at you. She shares a clever trick to help you see the illusion from the truth and thus protect you from further worries and unnecessary stress. But Nadia explains that the universe sends people into our lives to help us see who we really are and help us grow. Sometimes, it's the adversity that makes us grow stronger and wiser because life's greatest lessons are taught through pain.

To end, be reminded that "Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth." So be patient and trust the process. Because the moment you finally realize your true worth, you wouldn't need anyone else to confirm it. As such, pure bliss and unconditional self-love await.

168 - How to receive what you desire?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 08:00:00 -0700

Kao Feng once asked, “The whole world is a fire pit. With what state of mind can you avoid being burned?” Likewise, Nadia illustrates how the quality of your life is greatly influenced by the quality of your thoughts.

In reality, none of us has it easy. Deep down, we are scarred with flaws and imperfections. And that’s okay; it’s part of being human, after all. But despite our past fears and awful experiences, Nadia is saying that we have the choice to refuse these horrible circumstances to dictate the purpose and meaning of our lives. And in this episode, Nadia reveals to us the key relationship between courage, success, and state of mind.

And as Nadia shares her own story, we realize that it was not luck that brought her out of misery. Instead, it was her indomitable self-control, choice, and consistent effort to take the road less traveled that made all the difference in her life. In the end, it was Nadia who made it possible to receive the desire that she deserves.

Finally, Nadia reminds us to exercise our capacity to choose our dreams and goals despite the temptations and lure of mediocrity. As Viktor Frankl once said, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

So keep going, and pursue the good life with diligence and ardent passion regardless of what anyone says. Remember, you have the power to turn your desire into a reality.

167 - Are you ready to receive?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 17 May 2021 08:00:00 -0700

Last week Nadia explained her views as to why so many people find it challenging to receive.

In this episode, Nadia ties last week’s insights with a story of transformation from a life of pain and woes toward a life of love, abundance, and happiness.

According to Nadia, receiving is just as important as giving. And she illustrates this by narrating how she experienced firsthand the series of conflicts and misunderstandings that happened before realizing that a giver cannot give to someone who does not wish to receive.

As Nadia overcomes her predicament, she gains valuable insight into empathizing with people more profoundly. Because when you open your heart to receiving, you become more aware, understanding, and loving to yourself and the people around you. As a result, you create a healthy and strong relationship with yourself and others.

Finally, Nadia reminds us to have the patience to go through the process. You’d be amazed how a simple change in perception can make the biggest difference in your life.

166 - Why it is so challenging to receive?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 10 May 2021 09:00:00 -0700

Too many incredible and kind nurturers out there tend to pride themselves on giving and find it challenging to receive.

In this episode, Nadia shares her views on why so many deserving souls have missed an essential part of life which is the art of receiving.

Nadia blends her experiences and observations with three laws of nature:

1. You reap what you sow.

2. That you want it or not, everything is constantly changing, and therefore, the only thing you can truly control is your thoughts.

3. What you focus on expands.

165 - How to break free from mental exhaustion

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 03 May 2021 09:00:00 -0700

Please Note: This audio contains themes that some listeners may find disturbing. Listener discretion is advised.

A wise thinker once said, “A healthy soul dwells within a healthy mind and a healthy body.” And in this episode, Nadia shares how to untangle our minds from mental exhaustion to give way for our overall well-being, inner peace, and prosperity.

For Nadia, mental exhaustion is the state of mind in constant worry and restlessness without any prospect for resolution. Initially, it seems worrying, but it’s actually a fear in disguise. For this reason, she shares her valuable insight on how to free your minds from the entrapment of fear, worry, and mental distress. According to Nadia, the starting point lies in being aware of how you truly feel about yourself without the pretensions and denial. Deciding to face your deep-seated troubles is one way to help you gradually set your mind free.

Have faith and believe. Nadia firmly believes that you have the power to find the positive within the negative. Remember to be mindful of your thoughts because your thoughts affect your feelings, which affect your actions. And finally, it’s your actions that create your reality and the life you live.

164 - How to discover you life purpose

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0700

Nietzsche said, “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” Likewise, Nadia believes that knowing your purpose leads to achieving your dream life, keeps your fears at bay, and makes you more resilient.

According to Nadia, we all have a purpose, but not everyone gets the chance to tap into it. For this reason, Nadia shares a pearl of her wisdom on how to discover our own purpose in life. For one, the key is learning to accept and embrace the unknown. She encourages you to learn to explore the ideas in your mind because time goes on, even if you don’t. Moreover, Nadia highlights the value of time to properly manage and use it wisely: you can either get frustrated or get busy.

At the end of the day, discovering your purpose allows you to overcome any challenge, suffering, or misfortune and situates you in a place of happiness, peace, and meaningful life. Finally, Nadia is telling us to not let fear rule and control our lives. After all, life is a journey that’s meant to be explored.

163 - How to Turn Your Addiction Into Passion

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I’m going to share how you can turn addiction into passion.

This episode is for you if

You are fed up with what you are currently getting in your life.
You know deep inside that you can achieve more.
You want to get out of a rut.
You are conscious that your unhealthy habits are robbing you of your happiness.

First thing first, let’s define what addiction is?

An addiction is an unhealthy habit repeated so often that it has taken control of your mind and over righted your best judgment.

It’s like a computer virus causing havoc in your operating system.

An addiction is an illusion often created to suppress an unpleasant feeling or false belief that made you believe that you need something or someone outside of you to feel good inside.

What makes it hard to overcome an addiction is that nobody likes to admit that they are addicted to something. We want to believe we are in control. However, if you’ve seen anyone obsess with an addiction, you can tell that it’s the addiction that controls that person.

Although it feels immensely pleasurable while in it, in the long run, the addiction is not sustainable and it will wear you down, stealing away your happiness and your personal independence.

My aim in sharing this message is to inspire you to channel your energy towards something more constructive that will make you happy without being co-dependent on something or someone.

162 - Why is it so hard to change?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0700

Everyone has dreams and goals of their own, but only a few actually make them happen. And so you wonder, “what makes it so hard to turn my life around?”

In this episode, Nadia explains why some people who seek change either never get past the starting line or never reach the finish line. That said, Nadia shares her valuable insight on how to face and endure the grueling process of change.

According to Nadia, the first step is awareness. Self-knowledge gives you the wisdom to evaluate your capacity to go through change no matter what it takes. Secondly, faith is the antidote to fear. Don’t be fearful of the unknown. Although nothing in life is guaranteed, nothing is still more terrifying than regret.

Nadia reminds us to pursue this journey with love because we never give up on what we love. Lastly, Nadia says that you can be who you want to be by embracing change and refusing to remain the person you are today. It will not be easy, and it will take time. But it’s definitely worth it.

Have you ever why so many of us never get to live our dream life? What’s in the way of our intention that stops us in our tracks?

160 - How to open your heart to the truth

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0700

“The heart has reasons that reason does not know,” said a great thinker once. For the first time in years, Jasmine was free from the fears of her mind and finally listened to the dreams of her heart.

In this episode, Jasmine continues to unravel the intricacies and fullness of life. Utterly confused with the changes due to her recent awakening, Jasmine receives a helping hand from a stranger named Alan.

Ultimately, it’s still Jasmine who holds her own destiny. Will Jasmine continue to fall and break down? Or will Jasmine overcome and break through?

Overall, Nadia tells us that it’s not about how long, but how well you have truly lived. It’s never too late to open your heart for a new beginning and for a better tomorrow. After all, nothing is more regrettable than reaching the point of death only to realize that you’ve never lived.

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0700

Ultimately, it’s still Jasmine who holds her own destiny. Will Jasmine continue to fall and break down? Or will Jasmine overcome and break through?

159 - Daring to Ask

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 08:00:00 -0700

Sometimes, all it takes to change a life is for one to ask. In this episode, Nadia continues Jasmine’s life-changing journey towards herself and her relationship with Gray.

Following the events of distress and realizations, Jasmine starts to understand the importance of making new decisions, different from what she used to make. She needs to overcome her anxiety over things that she does not know of. She needs to take steps, one at a time, towards her dreams of happiness and fulfilling life. She’s starting to make choices she wouldn’t usually dare to make, and one of those - is seeking a guide in Alan M. Knight.

Can he help her get out of the dreadful road that she has been walking for years? There’s only one way to find out, and she now knows - to get answers, she needs to ask.

158 - Establishing healthy Boundaries

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia continues to narrate Jasmine’s story after experiencing a Divine intervention.

Disoriented and confused after going through a near-death experience, Jasmine is overwhelmed by the sudden realization of injustices and mistreatments she had silently and undeservingly endured.

Jasmine had to face deep shame and humiliation before she realized what she always had. Her voice, dreams, and desire for a meaningful life suddenly found their place within her heart. And so, with an unwavering absolute will, she decided to face life’s challenges head-on, starting with her heartless husband, Gray Frost.

Finally free from the entrapment of fear, Jasmine starts to embark on a quest in search of a fulfilling, happy, and meaningful life. Indeed, no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

157 - A Divine Intervention

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 08:00:00 -0700

There may be no perfect relationship, but there is no fear in love. In this episode, Nadia shares Jasmine’s struggles mainly with her husband, Gray Frost.

Gray used to be kind, loving, and jolly until Jasmine was promoted as Director of Marketing at Disney. Somehow, the day she out-earned Gray was the day he turned resentful and envious.

Soon after, Gray’s grudge turned against himself. Without purpose and direction in life, he sets his eyes on Jasmine, dragging her into a life of misery and unhappiness.

Jasmine found clever ways to cope with Gray during the past few years. But being unemployed due to the pandemic, Jasmine is now more exposed to Gray’s negative treatment and is about to drown in complete surrender — until she experienced a Divine intervention.

156 - Am I Happy?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 08:00:00 -0700

Three words, eight letters, one question: "Am I happy?"

A single question indeed, but potent enough to change your life. In this episode, Nadia takes us back into Jasmine's world and her quest for a happy and meaningful life.

Jasmine doesn't have it easy. Life can be unkind and cruel regardless of one's status in life. You may have all the money in the world or be offered the greatest job and still feel unhappy inside.

In this story, we see in Jasmine how sometimes success does not equate with happiness.

And so, for almost 40 years, Jasmine lived her life on autopilot. For the longest time, she believed that she was living a happy and fulfilling life. She did not know it then, but her heart knew well, that it was all pretense — a disguise. After all, it was way easier to ignore the mess, rather than deal with it.

But at the end of the day, Nadia reminds us that escaping is not the same as solving it. There is no other way around it, but to face it head-on. Nadia once said that no growth or change was ever easy. But then again, there's no such thing as an overnight success.

Ultimately, Nadia tells us that life is what you choose to make of it. You have the power to take control of your life. It may be a tough and challenging road ahead, but Nadia's been with us since the beginning: guiding us, inspiring us, and helping us every step of the way towards achieving our own blissful and fulfilling life.

Jasmine is still a work in progress. But aren't we all? So how about you? Are you happy?

155 - Are you ready for inner transformation

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 08:00:00 -0700

They say, “Curiosity killed the cat.” It makes sense at first glance because most people fear the uncertain and the unknown. And so they end up living their whole lives wanting to be somewhere but are actually stuck in limbo. What about you? Does your current life fulfill you? Are you ready for your inner transformation?

Nadia introduces us to a woman named Jasmine, whose life revolves around her family. Although she’s physically well and lives in a beautiful home, Jasmine feels disconnected, especially from her husband. She wonders if that’s all there is to it.

Her “happy-me” moments are when she walks to the park to sip her coffee, leaving behind the thought of cooking or cleaning. Sitting and breathing fresh air allows for some needed time to think and reflect about her life.

In this episode, Nadia narrates a compelling tale about Jasmine’s curiosity, her willingness to act on it, and her courage to choose her own path. Nadia brings us into a world of struggle, growth, and change. It’s a story about you.

Apparently, curiosity didn’t kill the cat. In its complete and unabridged version, “Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.”

Nadia is telling us that no change is easy. No growth is ever comfortable. But if nothing ever changed, there’d be no such things as butterflies.

154 - How to unlock your core values' magic?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 08:00:00 -0700

Nowadays, it's rare for people to get lost in malls, airports, or theme parks because there are directions or roadmaps available. But what about when we lose our way in life? When we feel lost, who do we ask? Who do we turn to when everything seems so uncertain? This is why Nadia shares with us the magic behind knowing your core values.

According to Nadia, knowing your core values helps you know yourself even better. It makes you aware of your strengths, weaknesses, limitations and can help you discern what you want of life. As the great philosopher, Socrates said: "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom."

Financially speaking, being aligned with your core values helps you become wiser and mindful about your business ventures and investments. Personally, your core values serve as a moral compass within you to guide you through deceptive paths and protect you from manipulative people.

Life will always be full of hurdles and challenges, but Nadia shows how core values also serve as an ultimate inspiration to keep you going. Like an eternal flame within that can never be put out, no matter how tough the situation may get.

Overall, Nadia continues to inspire us in this episode by sharing the magic behind knowing your core values, how to unlock it, and how it plays a significant role in your life, success, and happiness.

153 - Do you dare revealing your true self?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 08:00:00 -0700

Many suggest to be ourselves, but why so few dare? Most of us still live in fear of what others would think or say. Every day we hide behind our social masks to fit in and be accepted by society. In this episode, Nadia illustrates how courage plays a huge role in conquering your fear. The courage to stand out of the norm and assert yourself, unbothered, and untouched by others’ opinion of you.

Nadia encourages you to trust the process, for it takes time. But when you finally dare to reveal yourself and let go of every pretense, you become lighter in heart and soul. In doing so, it gives you the key to unlocking the door to your happiness.

Remember, no matter what is going on in your life, you have the power to be yourself. The challenge is the willingness to act on it.

No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. And there’s no greater freedom than being the master of your own life.

Finally, Nadia reminds us that to live an extraordinary life, you must first choose and decide to live your life extraordinarily.

152 - Why Don't New Year Resolution Stick?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 28 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Most of us can easily set goals and New Year resolutions, but what makes it so hard to achieve them? It appears that wishing for goals is easier than done. Why is that?

In this episode, Nadia not only warns us of the pitfalls that will distract us from achieving our goals but also goes deeper in explaining the driven energy behind high achievers. Nadia illustrates thoroughly how to convert your passion and enthusiasm into a powerful energy source that is vital for your goal’s achievement and success.

The first step is to align your goals with your core values; otherwise, it will be easy to quit at the first sign of defeat. When your goals align with your life’s purpose, it’s no longer a goal. You are taking a stance. When you reach that place in your mind, your goal becomes non-negotiable and defeat is not an option.

This state of mind is crucial at first because without realizing it, your new passion will most likely trigger some discomfort in your environment, and they may attempt to stop you from your dream. Nadia reminds you that no one else controls your life but you. Thus, you are your only limit.

The next challenge is to find the right balance between passion, enthusiasm, and warrior energy. Warrior energy is great, at first, to help you create new habits. However, it’s your passion and enthusiasm that will sustain you in the long run and help you turn hard and laborious tasks into a blissful and rewarding journey.

151 - How to be at peace with what is?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0700

COVID-19 pandemic struck a major blow on our lifestyle and careers. Even Holiday celebrations are not exempted from its devastating effects. It may seem frustrating, but Nadia shares that it may just be the perfect moment for us to recalibrate and reassess our lives.

In this episode, you are invited to take a step back, breathe, and reflect about what you can control. Nadia believes that you can control the way you respond to what’s happening.

True enough, no one can control mother nature but you can control your state of mind. Nadia reminds us that you can’t change the situation, but you can change your mind’s perception of it. That’s where your power resides and where peace begins.

Overall, you can’t account for everything, but you can surely make every moment count. Peace may not cost money, yet is worth everything. And it may just be the best present you can give to yourself this holiday season.

150 - Is There Such Thing as a Magic Pill

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 14 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Have you ever dreamt of finding the “magic pill” that would guarantee success and happiness?

What if this magic pill already exists? In this episode, Nadia unravels the secret to finding your “magic” that may solve your problems.

The first step is to change your perception. We are never too old to start something new. The second step is to train your mind to see roadblocks and unfavorable events as an avenue for growth and learning. You focus on the lesson to be gained, not the disappointment.

Nobody likes to make mistakes, which is often the reason why we fear doing something new. However, the very key to finding your magic is a leap of faith. Go for it. Take that risk. After all, the greater the risk, the greater the reward, especially when something is worth pursuing.

Liberate yourself from the expectations your parents or school, or society has set upon you.

Society has taught us to believe that we are flawed when, in reality, we are perfect in our own creation. What appears to be imperfection is our uniqueness. No two humans are the same. However, we all have something in common: the ability to overcome any adversity by shifting our thoughts. After all, mistakes are simply experiments that lead to wisdom.

There is no shortcut to success. However, a journey well lived is the one that leads you to believe that your magic is worth sharing with the world.

149 - Is Trust a Currency?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia shares the significance of trust and how you can cultivate it to bring out its potential that greatly influences your relationships, career, and well-being. Because like it or not, you need others as you journey through life. As the famous saying goes, “No man is an island.”

Although invisible, trust is one of the most important forms of currency in life. Nadia believes that trust is something you do not see or touch, but its effects are immensely felt. It can either elevate or destroy not just a person’s life, but even a whole organization.

The truth is that trust is accessible to everyone, but it’s not always easy to give. Why is that? Often it’s because we let our past haunt our minds. But what if there would be another way? In this story, Nadia shows that your past is not a hindrance or a roadblock, but a stepping stone to living a successful and bountiful life.

Trust may not get you a fancy car or a private plane. However, trust is your one-way ticket to set you on your path to freedom.

148 - Hiking in the moonlight

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Sometimes in life we need to take a break from the rush and busyness of day-to-day working life, step away and reconnect with Mother Nature. In this episode Nadia takes us through an adventure in the outdoors that opened her eyes to the fear of the unknown and the power of choice. Nadia talks us through how different experiences, like her hike in the moonlight, help us understand the lessons to be gained through life's challenges.

Nadia acknowledges that no one wants to be nor enjoys the feeling of fear. However, understanding and confronting the fear is sometimes the only option. In this situation, the best approach is to trust that God is on your side and that you are not alone. In doing so, it eases each step you have to take to achieve your goal.

In this episode, Nadia reminds us that although it’s not always a quick process to move past fear and choose the ‘right’ direction in a situation, there is always a lesson to be learnt and something to be grateful for.

147 - The Magic Behind Being Grateful

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Just like in the novels, there comes a chapter in our lives where we experience conflicts that may cause grief and despair. In this episode, Nadia explains to us how these hardships are inevitably part of life and are necessary for one’s growth. As the saying goes, “The days that break you, are the days that make you.”

Nadia strongly affirms that being grateful can have a huge impact in people’s lives. After all, she herself has experienced its magic. And so, with the spirit of Thanksgiving at heart, Nadia thoroughly explained how one could manage to achieve that kind of success and disposition, despite life’s struggles and challenges.

Overall, learning how to be grateful significantly affects and improves a person’s overall well-being, career, and relationships.

Truly, the magic behind being grateful is a really beautiful message to share, especially during Thanksgiving.

146 - Are you ready for emotional healing?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0700

I believe that behind many "dis-ease" there's anger. The challenge is to look for the root cause.

Although it's often time easier to blame others for our frustrations, anger is a feeling that can only be controlled from within, and therefore welcoming emotional healing is an internal choice.

In this episode, I share tips on how to handle any situation to bring balance to your life and better health.

145 - How to overcome setbacks

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0700

In the past few weeks, I've been feeling under the weather. There was a part of me that wanted to continue and another part that wanted to shut down. Knowing how the growth process works, I chose the latter.

While my body rested, I was wondering why we get setbacks?

What showed up was grief. I realized that before I can start a new chapter, I have to grieve the old. The challenge is that it's not fun to be in that funky feeling and so easy to create distractions around to avoid the pain. But I stayed true to my feelings and permitted myself not to be well.

In this episode, I share the deeper wisdom as to why patience is a virtue as we have to accept the universe's timing.

144 - What do you see in the silence?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Last week, I came across an old song, sung by Canadian Pop & Country Singer Roch Voisine: "Je l'ai vu," which translates to "I saw him," and it inspired me to share this message today.

The song draws a parallel between where God can be seen and where he is not. As I was listening to it, I thought we are all here for a reason. The challenge is to take the time to discover our life purpose and have the courage to share it.

Another moving part of the song says: "I don't expect anything from him that I don't already have."

As I grasp the meaning, I realized that we are already all that we need to be. The question is, do we feel it in our hearts?

I found it interesting that a song created in 2003 had a way to create ripple effects almost 20 years later. And it's from this perspective that I'm sharing this message today; that love is all around us. And if at this moment your heart is searching for something, I welcome you to take a moment to pause and be in the silence or watch Roch Voisine's video:

143 - Do you let fear limit your growth

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Where would you be if you didn't let fear stop you?

It's an easy question, but not always easy to discern because fear is often disguised as something else. After a while, we forget that we can do something about it. It all boils down to the choices we make.

Today, I will share my son's latest development with you and how one new choice in a new direction opened a new world.

He took the logistic position at work. The main challenge was to move 53-foot containers into the warehouse dock. Listen in as I'm sharing how after eight days of boot camp training, his life changed forever.

142 - How to know if it's true

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Have you ever experienced a situation where someone is saying something to you, and you wonder if it's true or not? Do you wonder how you can tell if it's true or not?

In the novel and the movie "Cloud Atlas," David Michael quotes: "Truth is singular. Its "versions" are mistruths."

This quote opened a new realm of dimension. Truth is singular, whereas the news is always plural. The deeper question is how to discern?

It took me years to finally tap into my inner intuition, a place where I get to know the truth for what it is.

In today's episode, I'm sharing my experiences and wisdom with you that shaped me to be who I am today and why integrity and truth are essential values in my life.

141 - Are you experiencing serendipity or drama?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 08:00:00 -0700

At the current time, I’m experiencing both. About you?

I noticed that I seem to attract more serendipity when I take a positive outlook while dealing with problems.

It’s as if the problem is not a problem; it’s a situation where I get to learn something valuable, as long as I’m willing to take the time to see the deeper message.

In this episode, I share an example of serendipity in reconnecting with Bob and how my best friend, Ana, triggered a series of drama that made me reconsider my relationship with her.

Listen in as I’m taking you on a self-discovery journey and what it takes to achieve life fulfillment.

140 - How to honor your twin flame connection

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 08:00:00 -0700

I've recently discovered that Phil is my twin flame. I knew from the moment I met him that something was special but didn't know it was called a "twin flame connection."

There's a difference between a soulmate and a twin flame connection.

From my experience, between my ex-husband and me, we had good chemistry and respected each other very much. However, we were each other's opposite.

The twin flame connection is your mirror, and the main purpose is to help you grow spiritually. I believe you meet your twin flame when you are ready to embark on a spiritual awakening journey. From my experience, you've got to be searching for something.

After learning about the twin flame connection, I looked online. Many posts or videos shared the 10-15 signs you've found your twin flame; however, they didn't share their personal experience.

In this episode, I'm sharing my experience to honor this unique connection and its learnings.

139 - How to embrace confusion

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 21 Sep 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Last week, after revealing my most painful childhood memory, rather than feeling energized and happy, I felt heavy and sad. This state of being confused me. Why was I not full of joy after discovering what was at the front and center of my life's purpose?

Adding to the gush of negative feelings, I had to deal with a flat tire on the car and some plumbing issues in the house. I found it interesting that what was going on in my heart matched my environment. I addressed every situation with patience, allowing myself to be OK with not being OK.

It turned out that being confused when experiencing inner growth is normal and beneficial to capture the learning within that state of mind.

In this episode, I'm sharing with you my discovery as to why I felt that way and what I learned by accepting and moving through the feeling rather than avoiding it or pretending it's not there.

138 - Lifting the veil of shame

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Some days we just can't help but feel helpless. And some nights, we stay awake only to ponder our flaws and imperfections. In this episode, Nadia illustrates how she became a prisoner of her own mind and lived at the mercy of her oily skin, not knowing buried underneath the pain was the feeling of shame.

But all hope is not lost because Nadia shares with us how we can free ourselves from this dangerous snare. Nadia emphasizes how the act of forgiving plays a huge role in living our life to the fullest.

In the end, Nadia imparts us with a beautiful and priceless learning: To accept our past, to appreciate the present, and to embrace the future.

Yet again, Nadia inspires us that life's struggles are not meant to stop us but to make us wiser and stronger, allowing for a well-lived life.

137 - How to create your own miracles

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0700

I believe the word miracle is a term we use to express something extraordinary that just happened, and we cannot explain what took place. The truth is that there’s always an explanation; it’s just that often time deeds are so far removed from the outcome that we don’t see how we created our own miracles.

In this episode, I share with you the details of how I created my own miracle. It boils down to understanding that everything around us is chemistry, based on Nature’s laws. This information means that miracles can be observed and, once learned, can be replicated.

136 - When will you be enough?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 09:00:00 -0700

What will it take to feel and be enough?

135 - Where do sins come from?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0700

As a child, I was brought up fearing sins. My mother insisted that God was everywhere watching, and I could be found guilty at any moment. Too young to understand any better, I followed the herd and strived to be a good girl. However, deep inside, I couldn’t understand why I had to fear God.

Later on, I realized that what people saw as sins was a natural curiosity to experience life. So what are sins? Where do they come from?

Well, in the book: “Outwitting the Devil” by Napoleon Hill, the author asked the Devil this question, and in this podcast, I’m sharing with you the shocking truth as to what sins are.

134 - What drives you to succeed?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0700

I was at the carwash the other day and an interesting idea crossed my mind. I notice that a car is very similar to human beings.

In this episode, I’m going to share a parallel between a car and our human body. From the spark plugs to the engine, without forgetting the trunk where we may keep unnecessary luggage, we too need a surge of inspiration to make us move forward.

Listen in as I’m taking you to a fun adventure that will lead you to decide what drives you to succeed.

133 - Are You Afraid to Fail?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0700

We dream of accomplishing things, but a week or a month passes, and the tasks are still not done. Life seems to just get in the way.

The reality is that to achieve anything requires effort. But where to find the energy to start?

The first step to living a fulfilled life is to believe you can do it. To start even though you don’t know-how.

Starting something new breaks the habits of procrastination. Remember, inactivity atrophy the mind. The more you do, the more you get excited because you start seeing your idea becoming a reality. As you progress, you gain experience and confidence. This feeling is infectious. It arouses you to keep ongoing.

Listen in as I share tricks on how to stimulate your mind to get you started so that you can achieve your dream life.

132 - How to Re-Decide Your Life

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 08:00:00 -0700

In "Matrix Revolution," at one point, Neo asked the Oracle: "You helped me get here, but my question is why? Where does this go? Where does it end?"

The Oracle: "I don't know."

Neo: "You don't know, or you won't tell me?"

Oracle: "I told you before. No one can see beyond a choice they don't understand, and I mean no one."

Sometimes, and often unconsciously, we do things that lead us nowhere. We may feel lost, or we don't understand why. We might change a lot of things, but it doesn't work. Why?

In this episode, I'm going to share with you in two parts how you can achieve better results in your life by taking the time to step back and understand some of the decisions that led you to be in a certain way and how you can re-decide with a new degree of awareness.

131 - Are you feeling stuck?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I share how and where we get stuck. It usually starts when there’s an internal conflict; there’s a part in you that is unwilling to move forward. It could be because there’s a lack of information, or it may be that there’s a personal issue involved.

And to move forward, you’ve got t to be willing to look at what’s stops you from achieving your dream life.

One of the main challenges is when we focus on the outcome and forget to look for the cause. From personal experience, I can say that wanting what others had rather than focusing on my uniqueness has robbed me of many years of happiness.

Listen in as I share how to unstuck yourself and discover true life-fulfillment along the way.

130 - The Art of Feeling Fulfilled

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

I was watching a YouTube video titled "After this, you will change how you do everything," where Tony Robbins was explaining the art of living a fulfilled life. He said, money is one thing but feeling fulfilled is priceless. There are many people who have all the money in the world, and yet they don't feel fulfilled.

The topic of this conversation is: "how to feel fulfilled and where do you find that happy place in your heart?"

Let's face it, if you feel happy, it shows everywhere; in your life, in your relationships and business. People will want to mix with you.

But how can you make your "self" happy? It boils down to one thing: to DECIDE.

In this episode, I'm going to share how the power of a decision can transform your life and bring self-fulfillment.

129 - The reward of living without excuses

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0700

How would your life be if you lived without excuses? How would the world be if the president of the united, bosses, manager, employees, and kids lived without excuses? I believe we would be further ahead. So what’s stopping us? I think it’s fear. Fear of punishments, or that we will not be liked or that we might fail. I believe it’s fear that stops us from ourselves and one of the main reasons we are not happy. Think about it for a moment; how would your life be you were not afraid?

I invite you to listen in as I share how living without excuses has helped me find happiness and life fulfillment.

128 - Is Giving Up Your Dream an Option?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 09:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I'm sharing my experience and tips on how to navigate through life without giving up your dreams.

127 - Where to look for happiness?

When I turned 30, I realized that all the goals I set as a teen was accomplished. With a heart filled with joy, I was looking at my baby boy and then wondered, what’s next? It took me over two years to figure out what I wanted to do besides being a mom.

During that time, I felt empty as if there was a part of me that was missing. Intuitively, I recognized that being without goals wasn’t good for my spirit, and I vow to always keep an eye out for my next plans.

In the hope of inspiring you to discover happiness right where you stand, In this episode, I share how just a simple conversation with my brother has instilled in me new ideas to create my future possibilities.

126 - How to shift your mind from guilt to abundance

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I’m sharing my views on the emotion of guilt.

I feel that when we have been conditioned to feel guilty, especially as a small child, it can become challenging to live an abundant life. In my opinion, guilt is like having a huge rock on your heart; it makes you feel heavy and prevents you from shining your bright light out there.

I’m also providing suggestions on how to shift your mind so that you can become who you are meant to be and achieve all that you desire.

125 - How to Lead with Compassion

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 08 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0700

I’ve been wondering why Mother Nature put in our path Covid-19. I think she felt it was time for a global change. The world has been put to sleep through technology, CBD, video games; you name it - it has our attention. And when our attention is distracted, we are not doing anything to help ourselves.

So Mother Nature woke us up by hitting us where it hurts the most - by reflecting outward who we have become - a diseased world.

No one can no longer pretend that all is well.

I was in the cleaning product aisle at the store when I thought: “What if Mother Nature wants us not just to clean our physical environment, but to clean our act and behavior too?”

Mother Nature has her way to get our attention. Now we see who we are in broad daylight.

The sight is not pretty when we dig 400 years of hidden agenda to satisfy needs and wants at the cost of others.

It’s known throughout history how people have inflicted physical and emotional pain using manipulation and bribes for their personal aggrandizement. It is still done today.

The biggest challenge is to face what we will lose if we admit our mistakes. In this episode, I explain through my own experiences, the peace it brings when we choose to let go of the illusion to live an authentic life with love and compassion.

124 - What Kind of Leader Are You?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 01 Jun 2020 09:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I draw a parallel between different kinds of leadership and the current state-of-mind of millions of Americans who are screaming enough of the non-sense.

I feel the trouble is that we are dealing with a Government that has his own agenda, driven by greed and power. For five years now we have been subjected to propaganda.

Propaganda weakened the mind. A weakened mind loses his ability to think clearly and has the tendency to react rather than to respond to events. Friendships started to erode creating greater division between friends and family and between different nationalities. We have gone through all sorts of emotions from shock to anger, to feeling powerless. Many have chosen to numb themselves instead of facing reality.

123 - Are You Ready to Play the Game of Life?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 25 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Playing the game of life means being at peace with who you are and getting what you want of life without sacrificing your aspirations. In short, you live and enjoy life, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

This should be an easy task; in reality, it isn’t. The biggest challenge is to address our inner dialogue, the voice that clouds our minds with fear and welcome self-doubts in our hearts.

In this episode, I share with you my insights on how to play the game of life.

Before beginning to play, you have to prepare. Nobody is born knowing everything. You have to take some time to hone your skills and acquire insights and experiences. The game of life is a journey, not a sprint.

So the first step is to know what you want. As you progress forward, you get to discover and embrace your strengths.

And when you decide to demand of life what you desire, you get to do more of what you love and do less of what you don’t like.

The outcome besides getting what you want of life is that you get to live in a state of joy, bliss, and fun.

122 - Do You Have Character?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 18 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

The magnitude of the Coronavirus is a game-changer on health and economy.

In this episode, I’m sharing the importance of having a good character and how you can develop it.

As many business-standards will be thrown out of the window, I believe the key to achieving success and happiness will be through harmony and cooperation.

It’s time to prepare yourself emotionally, spiritually, and financially through your own good deed and develop your character.

121 - A Woman of Substance

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 11 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

A woman of substance

More than 40 years ago, Barbara Taylor Bradford wrote the book: "A Woman of Substance." I read it when I was 18 and Although Emma is a fictitious character, she has had a great influence on my life. She thought me the importance of taking initiative and self-determination. These traits applied over time lead to self-confidence.

In this episode, I draw a parallel between the heroine and my life. Emma Harte taught me to have an open mind on rules and prepared me at a young age to question the old status quo.

120 - Taking the Time to Pause

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 04 May 2020 08:00:00 -0700

In the past few years, I’ve learned that most of my limitations came from within. The challenge is to see it. After all, how can I eliminate a villain without seeing it?

In this episode, I’m sharing with you the immense power behind taking the time to pause and reassess. My way to pause is to take the time to write to my mentor, Phil. I hadn’t done so since December, and I just felt it was time for an update.

The magic within the writing is that I dare being truthful with myself, and there lies the growth as new truths are revealed. I found that this is the best way to eliminate the villain within me that keeps slowing me down.

I invite you to listen to this episode with an open mind as what I’m sharing is very personal. I chose to go deep in the hope that it makes a difference in your life and that it gives you the courage to take a pause and reassess your life to allow for newness to come.

119 - The true meaning behind karma

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

You may have heard about karma, however, you may not be sure if it’s really true or not. Is it just something people say to make you feel guilty or is there something deeper into the meaning?

Well, from experience karma is true and in this episode, I’m sharing with you why it is so.

Karma is the foundation of the bible and the Golden Rules written by Napoleon Hill, which is “to do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you if your positions were reversed.”

My version is don’t do to others what you don’t want others do to you.

This principle is based on the law of compensation: “you will reap what you sow.”

You might say: “Why do I need to know about Karma while people are dying by the thousands?” I’m worried sick about my finances. There’s a lot going on in my life.

Well, Mother Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has given us a taste of our own medicine. She said “enough,” and now we have all allowed reassessing, especially our thoughts. As I mentioned before, your thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions. And action comes back as feedbacks, which further stimulates thoughts and feelings.

So the pandemic has stirred us out of our status quo. The chaos has awakened the unconscious mind and forced outward our past years’ deeds. What is showing up is what we have sown. We get to see, in broad daylight, who we truly are in a time of crisis.

It puts many in a state of choc. I feel people who were caught in their stories and illusions are now experiencing a higher level of anxiety, uncertainty, and fear. People who didn’t want to see will be on the lookout for scapegoats and may act selfishly.

118 - How to Experience Inner Bliss & self-Fulfilment

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Last Friday morning, I woke up experiencing an orgasm. First thing first, I was surprised grateful for the wonderful gift. Then I smiled at the silliness of the situation. I acknowledged the spiritual part of my sexuality with fun, amazement, and curiosity.

Then, the alchemist in me started exploring the deeper meaning. And this is the part I want to share with you.

Well, I thought waking up with this kind of feeling is a great way to start the day. So, what if all-adults of this world would wake up to an orgasm rather than an alarm clock, worries, & drama?

Now, imagine if waking up with an orgasm was the norm, just like showering before going to work.

Seriously, why is it that waking up stressed and worried is considered normal? We spend most of our life being afraid of something or worrying about some future outcomes.

I feel this is important to share because everything boils down to your energy and how you manage to create willpower. And I thought, waking up to an orgasm is a fantastic way to increase inner willpower.

117- How to be mindful of draining energy

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Have you noticed that time and energy are the most precious resources available? In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the importance of paying attention to your energy so that you have the strength to cope with the current situation and also that you have all the tools necessary to bounce back when turbulence arises. In this episode, I share tips on how to become conscious, meaning are you investing or constructively spending your energy. I’m also sharing insights on how to build momentum that will lead you to life fulfillment.

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

With the right state of mind, when you mix wisdom and with intuition, it is limitless what you can create, especially when you tap into your heart space. Listen in to discover the power of your thoughts back with a sound plan.

115 - A Balancing Act with Mother Nature

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

As a scientist, I struggled for a long time on how to share my message. Especially with the skincare line. I felt trapped between wanting to share the truth and telling people what they want to hear.

The next question would be: “Is there any chemical in your product.”

The truth is that everything is a chemical, no matter if it's naturally-derived or synthetic.

Think of it for a moment. Every hormone, like adrenaline and oxytocin, are chemicals. You have over thousands of chemicals in your body that are there to keep you alive. This is why when we meet someone we love we say: “We had so much chemistry together.”

All that said, I know not everyone is a scientist. So when someone inquires if a skincare product is natural, the alchemist in me takes the time to really wonder “what’s my client really asking?”

And usually, it’s reassurance, peace of mind. She wants to feel safe in her choice. Remember what I said last week on the 7 basic fears. One of them is the fear of being sick. And the other one is fear of criticism. We don’t want to be wrong when we buy products.

In the past 10 years, we have asked chemists to jump through hoops to create what didn’t make sense because the consumer was looking for products with no chemical-sounding ingredient. For instance, sodium lauryl sulfate - which is the main ingredient in soap. It’s what cuts the grease on your hands - the best protection to minimize the propagation of the coronavirus.

In the past 10 years, we have developed through fear of the unknown, a paranoia over chemicals. In reality, we fear what we don’t comprehend.

The truth is that scientists are here to create something that is safe for the environment and safe for humans and our pets. We understand pH, safe dosage, and what can be mixed and not mixed together and in which proportion.

Now, you may wonder what does my story have to do with what is currently going on. I feel we are witnessing a Tipping-Point - a moment in time where Mother Nature is rebalancing everything.

I am wondering what Mother Nature is telling us. I believe that Mother Nature is telling us that it’s time to bring balance. To bring all of us in oneness.

To harmonize in a positive way. To join forces in controlling the spread of the virus.

And above all. We are all here to play an important part. Each of us was given an unusual gift, a specific talent. And it’s up to us to develop it to the best of our abilities.

Why exactly has Mother Nature decided to lash us with the Coronavirus? I don’t have the answer. I believe she’s giving all of us an opportunity to press reset on our lives. And it’s up to each of us to look for what is the gift within the crisis.

Personally, I feel it's helping scientists be heard and respected again.

From another perspective, I think Mother Nature is sending us a reminder that about a hundred years ago, measles, polio, chickenpox, and many other contagious diseases were a constant worry.

Then scientists created vaccines to provide immunizations and protection against these contagious diseases.

In the past 10 years, there has been a trend where many new parents are concerned with the way vaccines are preserved and don’t want to provide immunizations to their children.

The fear of chemicals has become greater than the fear of contagious diseases.

I personally don’t believe there is such a thing as either good or bad chemicals. Just like we cannot blame gravity if we fall off a tree and injure ourselves. We have to relate to nature’s laws, not the other way around.

When it comes to chemistry or ingredients, it all boils down to how it’s used and how humans decide to interact with them. It’s not the chemical that is bad - they just exist. It’s what humans decide to do with them that can have good or bad consequences. And this applies to everything we do. This is why what matters most is not the chemical itself but what you think - and what you feel.

Let’s take tobacco for example. The tobacco plant exists. And the manipulation of the plant into a smokable product exists and you also, as a person have the choice to inhale it or not.

Is there anyone to blame? That’s not for me to decide. It’s up to you. The deeper question here is what’s in your mind that makes you want to use, create or consume such a product?

This brings me to share a passage from Joe Dispenza’s book: “Breaking the habit of being yourself.” The information is at the end of chapter 14.

The reason why I shared this passage of Dr. Joe Dispenza is that, although the Coronavirus has taken many lives, the leading cause of death is still heart-related diseases, closely followed by cancer.

And although millions die each year, the world didn’t stop. Why? Because up until now, it was accepted as being normal.

However, the Coronavirus has brought a moment in time where we all got the chance to press reset - especially if you are tired of doing something that is no longer supporting your aspiration.

The first step is to become conscious. What do we truly want? What is running your life? What is it that keeps us from living a stressful life?

As Dr. Dispenza said, we have been conditioned for years to assume that living under stress is normal when in reality, stress is telling your body that you are not in balance.

I feel the whole world has reached the tipping point - the pendulum is now swinging back creating a new moment in time

Remember what I shared last week about the environment and thought-habits mixed with hypnotic rhythm.

I’m sharing this message because we all have the ability to think for ourselves. The sad truth is that only 2% think for themselves. The rest follows. This is why people went crazy shopping.

My aim is to bring awareness and to help you find happiness and peace of mind. Let’s face it, life will not return to normal. Yesterday no longer exists. It’s what happens when we suddenly grow. We can’t go back to the past. And I believe Mother Nature wants all of us to live a healthier life and she’s giving us time for inner reflection.

I know many of you are struggling with fear of uncertainty.

Not knowing what is going to happen is frightening. There's a lot of doubt. We are wondering if we will still have a job in a month from now? These are valid concerns that are affecting millions of people around the world.

If you are feeling concerned or paralyzed with anxiety, I invite you to breathe.

And if you don’t know what you want. It’s OK to just be in the stillness and go within - because this is where changes occur. It’s the scariest place to go and yet, the most rewarding when you allow for inner transformation.

Although you may struggle with uncertainty, remember that you also have the ability to turn your life around and create your new reality. So be mindful of your thoughts and feelings because what you feel creates your outcome.

114 - How to Reconnect With The Laws of Nature

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

In 2015, as I was struggling with my marriage, and my overall happiness, I was suggested to read: "Outwitting the Devil" by Napoleon Hill. In today's episode, I share his insights on what truly starts an epidemic and how you can help yourself during this challenging time.

113 - Your Greatest Treasure is within You

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 16 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

We are all concerned with the coronavirus and if you hare personally affected, I’m sending warm healing energy your way.

Mother nature is teaching us some important lesson, that no matter what is going on in this world, she will do her thing. And I feel, right now she’s bringing balance. I haven’t seen this in a very long time. This virus has brought all of us into a state of oneness. Think about it for a moment. We as a world are now united for the same cause which is to make sure the virus stops spreading. Everyone is coming together to postpone, to cancel so that we minimize the crowd. It goes to show that none of us is immune to Mother Nature regardless of our religion, race, color, sexual orientation or whatever it is or it isn’t in the bank account. Mother nature has a way to remind us that life is fragile.

In this episode, what I want to share with you is this is a huge opportunity to step back and look at our life. And ask deep questions, mainly what is so important for you? In some way, this virus has brought us to our essence. What is essential to our existence. Mother Nature is asking all of us to pause and reassess. Are we living on purpose, are we living in alignment.

Listen in as I share more details on how to find balance within the crisis.

112 - To Be or Not to Be Vulnerable - Part 2

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

In the last episode, I mentioned in the end that my vulnerability allowed me to open Pandora's box.

The old saying suggests leaving the box close. To not let fear and all other troubles come in the open. Well, to be honest, I felt much better after the emotional breakdown. This makes me wonder how much trouble it causes - in wasted energy when choosing to keep the emotions in the box.

I learned, in the past four years, that every time I leaned into my most vulnerable state, something new gets created.

As an alchemist, I know that thoughts are energy and to create new thoughts, new plans or strategies something needs to be broken down. And that every breakdown leads to breakthroughs. In some ways - when it is seen as such, vulnerability acts as a catalyst for growth.

What I’ve discovered is that frustration consumes energy and suppressed feelings will oftentimes turn into negative feelings, which most likely will bring anxiety, drama, and shortcomings.

In this episode I’m sharing how vulnerability brings newness, bringing forth the time and energy needed to create plans and strategies to do the work needed for success.

111 - To be or not to be vulnerable - Part 1

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

I’ve been thinking a lot about the vulnerability aspect in the last few days. Yes, of course, there’s an incident that brings me to talk about this topic: To be or not to be vulnerable? That is the question, isn’t it?

There is no in-between. This is deep because it impacts you at the soul level.

I learned, in the past four years, that every time I leaned into with my most vulnerable state, something new gets created.

As an alchemist, I know that thoughts are energy and to create new thoughts, new plans or strategies something needs to be broken down. And that every breakdown leads to breakthroughs and growth. In short, I now know that being vulnerable acts as a catalyst. The sooner you lean in, the sooner you get what you truly desire or you get a resolution.

To most of us, we spend most of our time and energy debating if it’s OK to be or not to be vulnerable - in whatever particular moment you’re in.

For example, you may like someone but you are afraid of rejection. Rather than connecting with that person and say:

“Hey, I kind of like you and I would love to get to know you more. Are you open to having a conversation?”

Depending on your state of mind, you will go around, discussing the matter with friends or family members. You wonder if. You seek validation, approval or you fear judgments.

This kind of situation may be spread over weeks, months or even years. And all it does is - it consumes your energy.

Listen in as I explain in more details the blessing in being vulnerable.

110 - How to Rise In Love

109 - How to cope with emotional numbness

Nadia Fleury | Entrepreneur — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0700

For most of my life, I put my feelings on hold. I assumed everything else around me was more important. The truth is I lived in fear. Fear that I created in my mind.

For years, I look for the outer world to make me feel good and beautiful. In this state of lack, I spent more time in the blame, shame, and justify game.

Then one day, I got tired of walking on eggshell and picking my battle. I put my foot down and decided that I had enough of pretending that life was great the way it was. That’s when I decided I wanted to feel and live again.

The experience brought me a new degree of understanding. Depression is a state of mind where we deprive ourselves of our emotions. We think we have to suck it up because there are no other choices.

It is not normal to walk on eggshell, feeling like you have to pick your battles, or worse hide and bottle your feelings in fear of displeasing the people around you.

We all have one life to live and living without expressing our feeling is to deny self-love.

Listen in as I share with you my experience in choosing to uproot my whole life in the quest to find emotional, spiritual, and financial freedom.

108 - Do you take responsibility for your outcomes?

Nadia Fleury | Entrepreneur — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Taking responsibility for your outcome will be the best investment of your life. First, it put you in charge of your destiny. Rather than taking the victim’s role, you get to control what is going on. Now, mind you, I’m when I say “taking control” I mean it from the higher-self, not the ego.

Becoming responsible brings initiative, which increases your confidence and over time, it builds your willpower. Your mind is free to create without being caught in the story - the story you may create when you choose to slack on your responsibility.

I feel is important to share because, well, let’s face it, in one day we may have about 6 hours of creative energy - used to create something new. What drains the willpower is negative energy.

So when you feel guilty about something you haven’t done, it doesn’t feel good inside. This feeling affects your creativity which is your energy for constructive purposes.

When you take responsibility for your action and outcome, you can share your message from your own truth. And when you are in your truth, you get to be clear on your wants and you have the energy to go after it. In the end, you get to live your life on your own terms.

107 - Are you living up to your full potential?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0700

The tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi touched me deeply. As I heard the news, it made me ask if I’m living my life to my full potential.

Then I thought if I live another 25 years, this means I only have 25 summers left. Of course, this is an assumption, not a guarantee. So, what do I want to achieve by next summer?

For the past 8 years, I’ve been studying Napoleon Hill’s book and he says to truly achieve your full potential in life, you need a burning desire.

A burning desire is more than a wish or a goal. It’s visceral. It has to happen. The reason why many of us know Kobe Bryant is because he new his burning desire at a young age and acted on it. He didn’t let fear stop him.

The main challenge we have in achieving our full potential is daring to communicate that we exist. In my experience, I noticed fear as a way to make us play small.

Often time we are not aware we are playing safe. All we know is, we don’t know what we want. We lack clarity.

Fear is behind a lack of clarity. How many people who are working today feel like they have to hide the mistake they did because they are afraid of what is going to happen to them?

How many people spend more energy trying to hide the facts rather than learning to appreciate the lesson. The truth is, there is no growth without experimenting. When there are no mistakes, nothing new is being created.

Yes, sometimes a mistake can be costly, however, if we investigate the lesson within the mistake then it’s no longer a mistake, it’s an investment.

Not too many people see it this way because we have been conditioned, since childhood that making mistakes means something is wrong with us. So we learn from a young age to not explore and dare play big in life.

In this episode, I share with you the true reason as to why a burning desire is a must to live a fulfilled life.

So don’t wait for another summer to pass by without making the best of your life, listen in and live your life on your own term with peace of mind.

106 - Do you struggle with your weight?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 27 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Last weekend, as I experienced being in a weightless, magnesium filled water-pool, it made me think how much of our time is consumed about our body mass. Then I wondered how heavy we feel when our mind is filled with negative thoughts.

Oftentimes, we worry over the number seen on the scale. In reality, it’s not the number that is a problem, it’s the meaning we put into it.

If you take the bionic woman, I’m sure her weight changed after being given two bionic legs, one harm, and an ear. However, she didn’t let the number on the scale get in the way of her superpower.

In this episode, I share with you a way to channel your energy for constructive purposes, converting your challenges into your superpower.

And this is why I bring up the subject on the weight. Only now do I know how much the emotional weight keeps us down. The cool thing is when you are ready and willing to let go, you get to see the amazing things the universe has in store for you.

The challenge is to be willing to create from the unknown by letting go of your attachment to your past. Think of it for a moment, if you create from what you know, you will only get more of what you already have. If you want something more of life, you’ve got to create space and be willing to be in the unknown an allowing for something new to emerge.

I invite you to create serendipity, from a place of openness and curiosity, with faith that the universe has more to give.

The first step in moving forward is to become conscious of what is wearing you down, what is draining you and let go of that extra emotional weight that anchors you down.

In Matthew Chapter 19, verse 23-26

“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

I know we, oftentimes, associate the word “rich” with money, however, what if, in this context, the word rich was meant as nourishment. Notice how heavy you feel when you eat rich food. And notice how you feel when you feed your mind with negative thoughts.

To me, this parable means it’s challenging to enter the kingdom of heaven when we are too heavy in your heart and spirit. Notice your action when you feel resentment and guilt in your heart.

I believe to enter the kingdom of heaven is to let go of negative stories and thoughts that make you feel heavy.

Notice how life is all about transformation. An acorn doesn’t look like an oak tree. However, it can become it when mixed with the right ingredients.

Do you ever wonder what is waiting on the other side of your own transformation?

The only way to know is to be willing to set yourself free. To let go of your shell and disempowering stories.

Only then will you be able to bare your soul and see your true essence.

Remember, we are all gifted and we are all here on this earth for a purpose. The question is, are you willing, ready and able to take the risk to jump into the unknown and welcome your transformation.

Only you can make this decision.

If your heart is yearning for something bigger. You are so ready, yet there’s this little voice that keeps you in fear of the unknown, it’s playing tricks in your mind.

I know that voice too well. That voice mixed with fear took 10 years of my life.

And this is where faith comes in. I believe this is why Jesus says “with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

I now know to be successful in life and in business, it requires a spiritual connection as well as a team because it’s challenging to see things through on your own. Having faith in your abilities and to trust that the universe will give you more of what you desire.

If you are at a crossroads and seeking guidance on how to transition forward, I’m here to help you.

Remember I offer a free 30-minute consultation. To schedule your appointment, click this link.

Together I will help you release your old stories, letting go of what is weighing you down. You get to tap into your heart space, a place where you feel happy and confident.

When you transform and no longer stuck in your story, you become selfless, transparent and authentic. You find pleasure in sharing what you have.

You know in your heart that there’s more, always more. You live in abundance and with peace of mind.

105 - How to Achieve Your Oasis of Hope

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Last week I spoke about gaining clarity in the stillness. I realized that often times we may arrive in the stillness not by choice and this can be quite challenging. The idea of creating your own Oasis of Hope is to find healthy ways to cope and help you move through negative spells quickly.

The feeling of hope elevate your state of mind and bring within you faith that something greater will be on the other side of your challenges. Notice that every emotion you feel is all happening in your mind. This is why it’s important to control your state of mind.

Hope and faith are the antidote to fear, blame, shame and many other negative emotions. The magic lies in knowing that tomorrow will be better. It’s magical because your actions are in direct response to your emotions. So what you think will convert into actions.

Remember, life is fragile and we never know what will happen next. Sometimes we take our health or job for granted. We assume there’s security in the sameness. It’s not so. We just don’t want to see it because everything appears to be constant.

Usually, something happens when we, humans, forget to relate ourselves to some natural laws. Remember, “change is the only constant in life.”

Hope and faith don't remove the feeling of sadness, anger, hurt, guilt, and fear. You will go through all sorts of negative emotions. It’s pretty challenging to be in this place because you are suddenly faced with a new reality and you may feel out of control. In reality, it’s being in the Ferris Wheel that was taking you out of control. Now you have a chance to press reset.

Step one to achieving your Oasis of Hope is to take ownership of your happiness. You can choose to stay a victim of your situation or you can choose to take your life in your own hands and become your own hero. Remember, everything is a choice event thinking you have no other choice is a choice.

Unconditional and conditional love, meditation and exercise are a great way to help you cope. That is because they elevate your energy vibration which stimulates a positive state of mind.

Another thing you can do to cope with adversity is to not take things personally and stop doing things alone. Have someone, with positive influence, that will help you create new plans. This is so important. Yes, there is a time where you just need to think or vent. However, when it comes time to build a new future, make sure you associate your mind with a positive thinker. Someone that will help you find your true path.

You cannot create a new future from your past. This is why the stillness is important - because it allows you to pause and go beyond what you already know. Yes, it may be scary but it’s essential for growth.

If you find yourself in this unknown place and you know there’s something greater you want to achieve, you are just not sure how to navigate forward and you need someone with a positive mindset to help you think things through, remember you are welcome to reach out - just schedule your free 30-minute consultation by clicking this link.

Listen in as I explain in more detail how the stillness gives you a new perspective on how to see things and hope, mixed with faith and belief bring you the courage to change what you can and accept what you cannot control.

104 - How to Achieve Clarity in the Stillness?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Many of us start the New Year with great intentions and we set new goals. We may work towards the goal for a week, a month or six months. Then, we gradually let go of the goal.

The next new year comes and you are back to setting the same goal again.

Why is it so challenging to make your goals a reality?

In this episode, I share my learning as to why our goals do not come to fruition and what can be done about it.

I noticed that society wants to keep us busy; as if idleness was a sin. I learned from experience, that being busy gives us a false sign of being productive. The real question is what are we truly wanting to achieve and are we committed to achieving it?

Imagine being in a slow-motion Ferris Wheel which takes you around, bringing the ups and downs of life but somehow you never seem to go forward. You assume you are moving towards your goal, only to wake up, year after year, seeking the same outcome.

The Ferris Wheel is, oftentimes, an illusion and only in the stillness can you see what is your new truth.

In this episode, I invite you to take a conscious choice to step out of the Ferris Wheel and just be in the stillness. In that space, you will see life from a new perspective allowing you to think - what do you truly want from life? And are you truly going where you want to?

When you are caught in the Ferris Wheel for years, you do not know life in any other way. You are caught in an illusion and in that state of mind, it’s easy to assume your life is as good as it gets.

If you want more of life, I invite you to listen in as I share the details of how you can free yourself from the illusion of busyness and find a balance between doing and the stillness.

If you struggle in your personal life or your business, I invite you to schedule a free 30-minute consultation.

Together we will assess where you are and where you desire to be. We will lay a sound plan that is aligned with your values and vision so that you can achieve the peace of mind and life fulfillment that you’ve been dreaming of for years.

103 - Can you truly be free if you seek to control?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0700

My son recently got his driving license and last Saturday, he drove me to the movie. As he drove, I noticed how "out of control" I felt. Then it made me wonder how much "in control" I want to be vs. having freedom.

For instance, if I want to be free, meaning being able to do as I want and go where I want, I've got to let my son become a self-sufficient man. This is a no brainer as I've been letting him do pretty much what he wants - hence why we have a great relationship.

However, the driving incident made me wonder about my quest to be financially free. It dawned on me that there's a fine line between freedom and control.

For instance, do I want to be in charge of a company where my employees are all lined up at my desk asking for what to do next or do I take the time to create systems and procedures in place?

Then, my thought drifted to my early 20's when I was in a relationship with a very jealous man and I realize now how negative emotion can prevent someone from being free.

From my experience this weekend, I realized the importance of self-control to achieve freedom. I'm curious. What's your point-of-view on this subject?

102 - The Power of Unconditional Love

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 30 Dec 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Today, I'm going to share the power of unconditional love. I'm doing so because love is at the core of our existence. Only through love can we find happiness. The challenge is where to find true unconditional love?

Four years ago, I found happiness and love, not where I expected it, and it didn't come in the package I expected it either.

It happened when I arrived at Phil's event as an "unhappy with my life, left-brain chemist," seeking for a solution to improve my business.

During Phil's teachings, I learned why I was unhappy. At one point, he made us do an exercise, and I decided to participate without reservation. I let go of all inhibitions revealing my soul to its bare essence.

Phil picked up on the tears and the energy. He paused for a while.

I remember fearing judgment. I dread what he was going to say.

What he did next changed my life forever.

101 - Releasing vs. Resistance

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In the past year, I've done my fair share of releasing, mainly releasing expectations from others, false beliefs, and old baggage that was not serving me anymore.

Earlier this week, as I was talking with my mentor, Pati, she said: "I was resisting." Although in the context she was using it, she was correct. However, what came to me was the negative connotation we have given to the word resisting.

When seen from a duality, we tend to think that resisting is bad. While I talked with Pati, I reminded her that there's a purpose in life to have a certain degree of resistance. As an example, resistors are used in electronics to adjust the current flow.

Bringing these concepts in my reality, I noticed that to move away from old unsupportive habits; it requires a certain degree of resistance. If I choose to stop drinking soda, I've got to resist the temptation to buy more at the store.

In this episode, I share my views as to when it's important to resist or release.

100 - A New Beginning

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In 2012, I started formulating a cream called Dermesence Perfection cream, designed for oily, acne-prone skin. And for years, I struggled in knowing how to promote it for others to have access to the cream.

Only recently did I learn that we tend to reenact our parent's behaviors.

My dad, who lost his mom when he was 7-years-old, suffered from the new step-mother. After several years of being used as a cash cow, he left at fourteen, vowing to himself that he will never give his money to another woman.

Years later, married to my mom, they had five kids, but he would make sure he spends his paycheck before arriving home.

This dynamic caused blame and shame on one side and a lack of success on the other

Unbeknown to me, this past programming was running my thoughts and my action, hence why the lack of results.

In this episode, I'm sharing how it feels to begin again from a new place of awareness, which permitted me to share, from a different angle, the true benefits of Dermesence Perfection cream.

099 - The Power of a Mastermind Alliance

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Sun, 01 Dec 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Have you ever wondered what it would take to achieve a blissful life? Through the power of a mastermind, I’ve finally arrived at that place, thanks to my mentor@Pati Maez.

I recently had a spiritual experience where I saw my life as being in a sphere. In the center, there’s a propeller. I believe the meaning of life is to get through the propeller.

I see the propeller as “the rat-race,” as when we chase after time and always feeling tired.

What’s between the first half of the sphere and the propeller is not visible to the naked eye; it’s our mindset, beliefs, and stories. When caught on the blade, the person simply drifts in life.

As I created the skincare line, it awakened my awareness of this spatial presence, but the wind kept me on the first half of the sphere. Through many epiphanies experienced with Pati, I now see that the game of life is to dare to go through the propeller. It’s challenging because it’s impossible to make it on the other side without being “chopped up” in some ways.

What I mean here is that to become the better version of myself, I had to be willing to let go of all the stories I created that kept me rooted in the past. I also had to be ready to be coached.

I now know that I couldn’t have transformed without her help. Everybody who succeeds today received support in some ways, and the kind of help that transports you to new heights comes only when the relationship is harmonious and genuine. We need someone to help us see through because our false beliefs and fear of the unknown have a way to get the better of us, keep us anchor into the past.

Listen in as I share how, thanks to my mentor@Pati Maez, I managed to go through the motions and experienced the bliss of a new beginning.

098 - Do You Know Your Life Purpose

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Thu, 28 Nov 2019 09:00:00 -0700

On Mother's day 2016, I received a text message from a friend saying: "Hope Mother's Day Honors THE You." As I read the text, it made me wonder. I was so busy doing that I forgot who I was. I set forth to find out what my true life purpose is. Today as the yearend approaches, I'm reflecting on the benefits it gave to know what I stand for and what I stand against.

In this episode, I'm sharing the importance of knowing your life purpose.

097 - Things are not always as they seem

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 08:00:00 -0700

While on a business trip, I met Buff, a clean and pleasant veteran, with 25” biceps. We talked for a while, and I really enjoyed the conversation. Before we depart, he gave me his business card and invited me to connect with him next time I’m in town.

Well, last week, on Memorial Day, I texted him to thank him for his service. A new text conversation started. This time, he shared he was planning a trip to my town, and he was asking if we could meet again.

After exchanging a few texts, everything changed, I realized things are not always as they seem.

In this episode, I share my epiphany on how easy it is to get distracted when we get caught in our own delusion and lack clarity. The experience though me a valuable lesson on how we can easily fall into destructive distraction when we are unaware.

096 - A tribute to our elders

Nadia Fleury | Entrepreneur — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, honoring veterans and everyone who has served or is servicing in the military, I draw a parallel between the first world war and my grandmother who thought me that life is full of miracles if we stay attuned.

095 - When is it time to let go of expectations?

Nadia Fleury | Entrepreneur — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In October, I experienced a full-moon ceremony with my Shaman friend Pati Maez. She introduced me to her culture, and, one more time, I was amazed by the power of the Divine source, where everything is that connects with nature.

God speaks in a language that we don’t always comprehend. We are accustomed to believing only what we hear and see. A great example of that, you may not see the cold virus; however, if your body gets infected, you will feel it.

Well, that night, I experienced many things that cannot be explained with logic. One thing I’ve learned is that if we are not achieving what we want, we need to let go of something.

Albert Einstein said: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”

Read Full Transcript This means, if you expect different results, you\'ve got to be willing to explore other possibilities. For me, attending a full-moon celebration with my Native American friend is willing to explore the unknown with curiosity and openness.

During the ceremony, I was challenged to let go of something. A whisper came from within: \"Let go of all your past expectations, especially the ones that are keeping you anchor down.\"

Bear in mind that this was a spiritual night, and it\'s not about letting go of business or personal goals. The message I received was to let go of any attachments and feelings toward outcomes that haven\'t happened. It was essential to let the deceptive feelings attached to them go because it\'s my unhealthy ego that created these expectations.

The unhealthy ego is driven by fear, guilt, resentment, vengeance, and many other negative emotions that zap the energy.

How do you know if you have any expectations driven my your unhealthy ego? Well, it boils down to one thing: are you in alignment with your mind, body, and soul? Are you financially wealthy, yet you feel miserable inside? Are you feeling trapped, alone, or anxious? These feelings are the telltale signs that something is not in alignment.

Sometimes we expect things from others, things that we wouldn\'t do ourselves. Other times we expect so much of ourselves that we run on overdrive. We keep working and feel it\'s never enough. In the end, we finish up feeling exhausted.

In this episode, I share with you tips on how to give yourself permission to stop and find peace within.

094 - How to find your voice?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 08:00:00 -0700

It’s one thing to figure out how to solve a problem; it’s something else to feel ready to share with the world that gift. So many things, like our upbringing, negative experiences, and past trauma, have a way to get the better of us.

093 - How to heal through adversity?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 21 Oct 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Sage had been flirting with Hazel for more than three years. He romanced her and made her feel really good. Knowing his past, Hazel had some reservations in letting go of her guards. However, after three years of pursuing, she opened her heart.

Within a few weeks of deeper romance, Sage announced that his ex-girlfriend had moved back, and he was, in all honesty, doing this to make sure the children were going to have a roof over their heads.

Well, this brought a lot of drama, and Hazel had to make some challenging choices.

We are all faced with adversity in our life. The deeper question is how to heal through it. In this episode, I’m sharing how Hazel faced her situation and what she learned along the way.

092 - What is the root cause of procrastination?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Let’s face it, we know what we need to do, but we don’t do it. The reason why we stall is deeply rooted in how we feel about ourselves.

It took me years to realize that procrastination is a symptom, not the root cause. The reality is that we live in an illusion, and society as a whole wants to keep us that way. We are attracted by the bright shiny object syndrome and instant gratification.

We seek validation and fulfillment from the external world to make us feel whole. You may wonder, what does this have to do with procrastination? Well, everything! It takes willpower to get started and a clear vision. The challenge is that society suppresses our ability to think for ourselves. In the first twenty years of our lives, we are more focused on meeting others' expectations, losing our sense of initiative in pursuing what we truly want. We play it safe and imitate others, engaging in activities that are not aligned with our talents and values.

Over time, we lose touch with our true selves, resulting in a lack of inner clarity. This state of mind leads to a spiral of unfocused thoughts and self-doubts. Eventually, we struggle to achieve desired results and become stuck. We lose enthusiasm for the tasks we once started, and procrastination sets in.

If you desire success, you don’t want to miss out on this episode as I shed light on the real underlying issues behind procrastination. Join me as I explore the hidden troubles that hinder our progress.

091 - Are you stuck in your own cake batter?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Listen in to see if you are living in your own cake batter.

090 - Do You Exude Self-Confidence?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Exuding self-confidence is absolutely sexy, and we know it. However, it’s so challenging to feel that. I’ve been on a quest for over 15 years trying to identify the root cause that delayed my growth. Sometimes we procrastinate or feel we lack energy. But why?

Listen in as in this episode I reveal the true cause behind lack of clarity and lack of positive results you are seeking in your life.

089 - How to ignite your desire

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and grow rich,” he explains the first step to acquiring anything in life has a burning desire. Without a desire, nothing new is achieved. One of the challenges is to discover what we truly want in life. In the past week, I’ve experienced two great achievements that have reshaped my life.

Listen in to learn how to ignite your burning desire so that you can achieve more in life.

088 - Are you allowing yourself to dream big?

087 - The power of decluttering

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 09 Sep 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I share with you the effect it had on me to declutter 30 years of accumulated stuff, mainly books, my educational background, and old bills.

At first, as I saw 30 years of my life passing by in one afternoon, I felt guilty to see all the spending. However, I took the time to reason it out, and in doing so, I learned the power behind decluttering.

First, it allowed me to witness how much I have accomplished in 30 years. I also noticed that the books I’ve purchased while going to school were never used afterward. However, I still refer to many business books I’ve purchased later on in life. I think the difference is the fact that I chose to buy the books.

All that said, there are many reasons why there’s a lot of power behind decluttering. No two things can occupy the same place at the same time, which means if my closet is full of old, unsupportive stuff, there’s no room for newness.

Regardless of the energy required to go through the motion, decluttering has a purging effect. It liberates the flow and creates serendipity.

If you feel you are not heading anywhere in your life, I invite you to listen in and to experience the power of decluttering.

086 - Are you hiding from your own success?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 08:00:00 -0700

The subject of hiding is close to my heart because I’ve been hiding for most of my life. Not knowing the cause as to why I was hiding, I settled to play safe. I’m bringing this subject up in the hope that it inspires you to step into your greatness.

What got me out of the status quo was a burning desire to achieve more in life, mainly how to achieve financial independence. What I didn’t know at the time was that before I could achieve financial freedom, I had to be willing to ask deep questions as to what I genuinely expect of life.

These questions lead me to find out what my burning desire is, what I’m willing to stand for, and what I will stand against.

In this episode, I reflect on my past and share with you the six reasons as to why we shy away from our own success.

You do not know your life purpose.
Your mindset gets in the way.
You struggle with indecision.
You do not have the energy to focus on a sound strategy.
You don’t dare to ask for help.
You lack persistence with our projects.
You do not have access to a mastermind alliance.

If you are hiding because of past trauma, I strongly suggest to check out Pati Maez’s work and her program www.heartblazers.com She came into my life when I needed a mentor that would go beyond the realm of logic and strategies. She helped me reconnected my mind, heart, and soul and shared with me the power of breathing.

085 - Do you love your job?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 08:00:00 -0700

The statistic says 75% of the working force in North America are disenchanted with their job; oftentimes because they don’t feel valued or heard.

Drawn from personal experience, for the first 20 years of my working life, I worked with tyrants employers, where bullying was typical.

The sad reality is, we often love our job and need it because our loved one depends on us to support them. But we dread going to work because of one negative person affecting others.

The deeper question is who to thrive in a working environment when we dread it?

In this episode, I share how a negative environment can take a toll on our health and what you can do to improve your situation.

084 - Are you easily persuadable?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 08:00:00 -0700

I feel we are currently being presented with fake news designed to bring us in a state of lack or in fear. I no longer know who to really believe. Do you feel that too?

For example, let’s take the amount of hype around CBD. The question is, how easily persuadable are you?

I’m bringing this up because I’m actually wondering who is getting rich and what’s their true purpose? It’s a known fact that for centuries, a few leaders have figured out a way to tame the masses by promoting fear. What fear does, overtime is eroding your self-worth and self-esteem. It starts with your parents and school leaders who expect of you to follow a specific protocol. If you happen to be good at something that your parents feel you will not be able to earn a living doing so, they will discourage you tap into your passion. This situation leads you to follow the mass instead of deciding for yourself. Next thing, you become persuadable to what the media keeps presenting to you.

No matter what is going on, there comes a time where you have to choose for yourself. The question is, can you truly trust what you see and hear?

In this episode, I share some advice and wisdom on how you can learn to discern the information given to you. One good way is to listen to your intuition. If it feels painful and fearful, chances are you are being influenced by people who do not have your best interest at heart. On the other side, if it feels peaceful, rewarding, and empowering, then it aligns with the universal truth. Listen in to discover how important it will be for you to pay attention to your intuition.

083 - Are you letting your fear control your destiny?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 05:00:00 -0700

Anything that is meant to divide, where you feel isolated and alone, it will weaken your ability to grow and prosper.

Have you ever noticed that for centuries, the leaders of our society have mastered the ability to bring fear in our life? It includes the religion by making us fear the devil and a place called hell, the school by making us feel bad if we don’t have good grades, the politician who continuously feed the news with unkind words, and the media who are more focused on showing the bad news.

Through fear, the leaders of our society have found a way to keep you tamed. If not aware, they will control your thoughts and your destiny in the long run.

Fear is there to weaken your ability to shine your bright light. You have less time to focus on your talent and more time worrying about what is going to happen next.

Fear has a way to create an inner feeling that makes you wonder “what’s the point.” In time, rather than paying attention to your life purpose, you will become so absorbed by what’s going on around and eventually will follow the mass that drifts through life without a purpose.

The antidote to fear is faith. Where there is faith, there is no fear. Where there is fear, there is no success. Listen in as I’m sharing insights on how you can better your life and achieve self-actualization.

082 - Do you cling onto your past?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Do you cling onto your past? Are you afraid of letting go of what once was?

In this episode, I’m sharing my friend Emma’s struggle in taking care of her aging mom and how much it takes a toll on her health.

As she shared some details, I noticed her struggles were related to clinging onto the past.

It made me wonder why do we hold on to the past? In the case of Emma, her refusal to accept the change created resistance; as if trying to contain the river’s flow. Rather than accepting the new reality, her resistance was converted into drama, causing health issues.

As I look closer into the situation, it came to me that we may choose to cling onto the past because we fear that if we let go, something inside us will be missing.

The deeper question is, how often do we stick to the old because we are afraid of the unknown? How much more would you achieve if you would let go of a past that is no longer supporting you?

In my quest for freedom, I’m choosing to release any attachment to anything and doing so is scary. During this transition, I live with no certainty. I have no idea how long it will take to transition from what I know to my next destination. I do not know if the future will be better or worse than in my past. And there lies the fear of letting go. In some cases, not knowing feels worse than the current reality.

Sometimes we use alibis to keep us in the status quo. Rather than saying we are not ready to face the unknown, we chose to wait for someone or some lucky breaks.

Listen in to find out tips on how to keep a healthy disposition while faced with the constant changes and new challenges that life brings.

081 - Taking Flight

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I’m drawing a parallel between the release of a condor into the wild and when, as an entrepreneur, we take that leap of faith to jump in order to soar into new heights.

Taking flight takes place inside your heart. You soar when the mind, heart, and soul are in total alignment. You do and share what you love, and in doing so, it helps you grow.

Often, we take a pause just before we jump into the unknown. At that moment, we wonder. Will I make it, will I succeed? Will people laugh at my attempts?

And sometimes, without realizing, it’s when we choose to step in and let go of what they might think, that we become their champion. Taking actions takes courage, and in the process, we give other people the confidence it can be achieved.

So don’t wait to achieve your next milestone, jump in, and make it happen.

Take flight and STEP INTO YOUR LIFE PURPOSE.

080 - Following our intuition

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Frequently we get a hunch or an awareness that something is not right. We may choose to follow our intuition and other times we ignore it only to regret it later. Women tend to be more intuitive or at least, in my circle of friends, we talk more about it.

I’m bringing this subject up because as an entrepreneur, I do not have a clear roadmap as to what exact steps is going to work or not. And therefore, I have to rely on other sources of information until I can back my hunches with facts and data. The starting point is to have a clear idea of the end goal. From that, the mind starts to pay attention to the details around.

We will receive information with the body language or the tone of the voice, which is why paying attention to the subtle energy change can give us crucial clues.

People can trick us, and an excel spreadsheet can be tweaked. Listen in for insights shared on how you can use your intuition as a tool to move forward in life.

079 - The power of an idea

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 15 Jul 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I share with you how Coca-Cola was created. I came across the story in Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich,” Chapter 6 Imagination.
I am fascinated with the story because it shows that for any idea, it’s all about perspective.

The doctor was happy to sell his idea for $500 so that you would be able to pay his debts and retire peacefully. The clerk was willing to take a big chance by using all his life saving into one piece of paper and “magic formula.” Neither the doctor nor the clerk knew the fortune this formula was going to make. The words on that small slip of paper were worth a King’s ransom! But not to the doctor!

What the clerk purchased wasn’t just a formula; it was an idea. And there lies the secret of riches. The value of an idea, mixed with imagination and faith, can yield a fortune when backed with actions.

078 - A leap of faith

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 08:00:00 -0700

A critical ingredient to building an enterprise from the ground up is having faith in your ability. Faith is the antidote to fear and is the light that guides you while traveling towards uncertainty. We receive messages as gut feelings and hunches. The message is always there; however, not easy to pay attention when we are distracted.

A few weeks ago, as I visited my ex. Husband and my son, I noticed many items I left behind, and as I was reminded of that, it made me wonder what the message I was receiving at that moment was. A whisper came through me saying that I needed to let go of anything that is not supporting my growth.

I had to be willing to take a conscious look at what was in the way of my progress. After a careful analysis of my situation, the one thing I had to let go was my apartment and its meaning.

A similar situation may be experienced when working for a company, and all the signs are telling you it’s time to leave. Either because you are not progressing forward or the overall energy brings you down.

The idea to give away the things we are most attached to is not easy because we don’t know and cannot anticipate what is on the other side. When faced with this sudden need for a huge shift, the only thing that will guide you though is having a leap of faith that what will be on the other side will be greater. After all, if we keep doing the same thing, we cannot expect different results.

As an analogy, imagine blowing hot air into a hot air balloon that is restrained to the ground. No matter the amount of energy used, the balloon will not soar. It’s the same with our life.

I’m aware that this is easier said than done. When it dawned on me that it was time to leave the apartment, I was terrified of the idea. It felt I had failed. What gave me strength and courage was a passage from the book “Think and Grow Rich,” written by Napoleon Hill:

“More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach.”

If you are currently feeling challenged with what is going on in your life, I welcome you to listen in to this episode as it will give you insights on how to maneuver around life’s turbulence with a leap of faith.

077 - How to differentiate between fear and intuition?

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Sun, 30 Jun 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Have you ever been in a situation where you want something that is being promoted to you, but you are not sure if you should go for it or not?

Sometimes what is proposed to you may not be what it seems. Some other time you may go or not act because of fear.

076 - Living in a time warp illusion

Nadia Fleury | MasterMind Alliance Mentor — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 08:00:00 -0700

For most of my life, I lived in a state of mind that kept me in a time warp illusion where I was lacking time and money. I wondered what was keeping there and how to get out of the illusion.

I now know the one thing that is between what we would love doing and our “stuckness” is fear. Fear will stop us from growing and expanding.

For example, I’ve heard in the past people saying, “I wish I had my own business but,” and the big “BUT” gets in the way of success. Behind the but, there’s fear of failure, poverty, and criticism. In fear mode, the mind dwells more on what we might lose, rather than being open to what we will gain.

The first step to achieving financial freedom is to commit to wanting more in life and be willing to do whatever it takes to get there.

After all, financial freedom is nothing more than a state of mind, and the key to achieving it is to release any attachments to what we are stuck to. In short, clinging to something that appears important is what prevents us from moving forward. Listen in as I share the details of how you can achieve more in life.

074 - The Spirit of Wisdom

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -0700

When we drive and get lost, we have the luxury to pull over and check on google for direction. Or we can call a friend.

When we chose to follow our heart, there is no clear path, and nothing will give us certainty except trusting ourselves. There is no clear road to our destiny. All that we have is our gut instinct guiding us one step at a time.

Doing something we love is what keeps us on course. It also requires having faith or an inner-knowing that even if we don’t have all the answer, we can trust each step.

In this episode I share with you how I received a message from God that I’m on the right path; it’s now my turn to share my cure, to prevent diseases by paying attention to your thoughts.

Listen in to discover the true secret to living a happy life.

073 - My Boundary Challenges

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 08:00:00 -0700

A few months ago, I attended a networking event. It was mainly an older group of women entrepreneur. To my surprise, a younger man named Bob showed up. Although I was curious about his purpose to be there, I never connected with him until the end when people were leaving.

As we exchange a few words, Bob’s look reminded of an old friend that I met in my 20’s, which brought exciting memories. It opens the dialogue between the two of us. As everyone was leaving, I found out we live in the same neighborhood, and since I was curious about who he is, I just thought, why not continue the conversation at my home.

Well, let’s just say I may know a lot about mindset and spiritual awakening. However, I’m totally out of touch with the reality of dating and mating.

This leads the evening in a spiral of frustration and disappointment that could have been avoided if I had seen the cues, right from the beginning, that my boundaries are non-negotiable.

I’m choosing to release this episode so that you see, through my mistakes, the importance of listening to what your heart really wants.

072 - A Sharp Right Turn into Alchemy

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 27 May 2019 08:00:00 -0700

First, I want to acknowledge that today is Memorial Day and I want to take a moment to say thank you to all military service men and women for your service in keeping us safe and free in this country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I feel it also would be wise to define the word Alchemy before going into the subject. It started centuries ago when people were looking for ways to convert lead into gold. As they experimented, they discovered ways to create new things. Alchemy is the forerunner of chemistry.

Another quick explanation, I see chemistry when working with defined parameters often time learned in school; whereas alchemy is when something is created from infinite intelligence, a place where you find all the answers to any questions.

My sharp right turn into alchemy came when I was wondering what is the right next best step with the skincare business. I decided to meditate over that question when I heard a faint knock at my door. I open the door to see an 8-year-old little girl wearing one shoe. Her other foot was bare. She was with her 18-month-old brother, who was wearing a onesie and a diaper.

At first, I thought she wanted to sell me something. But it wasn't the case. So I asked some questions. Apparently, her father had to leave to attend an emergency and asked her to babysit her brother. She was alone and scared. As she started crying, I reassured her. Then I invited her to show me her place. As she got in her apartment, I heard heavy footsteps running. I knew it was the children's dad. He came back, obviously in his "bubble" but I concerned for the children. I left them.

I believe this incident has everything to do with the Holy Spirit, guiding me towards my true destiny. But what is it? I started assessing what I do well. This is what Gay Hendrix refers in his book: "The Big Leap" to as "being in your zone of genius."

Then I got another flashback from July 2018 when I asked my mentor, Phil, what he saw in me that I did so well, he said: "you can take non-connected elements, and you put them in a line, and you connect them in a way that makes it understandable, creating unique roadmaps."

At the time, we tried to blend the talent with the skincare. Ten months later, I have to say it's wasn't the right approach. So, I believe, through the little girl's visit, the Holy Spirit was guiding me to step in my what is my zone of genius, which is not is the skincare per se, it's above it so that I can get the skincare to the next level.

I see the skincare company as my testing ground. It proves my determination and my will to succeed. This is what lead me to another discovery. When I chose to let go of any fear related to any roadblocks, I suddenly saw a new path. As I started connecting my ability to reverse engineer manufacturing, to reverse engineer experiences using mind chemistry.

I suddenly learned the secret ingredients to tap into infinite intelligence.

Listen in to discover what are the magic ingredients to tap into this wealth of knowledge.

071 - Experiencing Oneness

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 20 May 2019 02:36:00 -0700

I describe Oneness when we feel whole, and we love unconditionally.

When we don’t feel whole, we think we are lacking something. It shows up as a lack of self-love. Most of the time, we don’t know this is what’s going on as we are not aware of our state of mind.

Depending on how affected we are, we will react differently to life’s challenges. We may live with resentment and frustration in our heart.

What triggered this episode is because last week I went to get so professional photos taken. And I was so happy to see the results. It’s the first time in 49 years that I can see my true beauty.

If you feel stuck and wonder where you are heading, I can guide you. Just schedule a free 30-minute call using this link http://bit.ly/asknadia.

In the past, when I would look at my photos, my eyes would only see what was wrong with them instead of looking at the overall effect.

It goes to show that what I saw had everything to do with my inner state of being.

In 2016, I felt stuck and frustrated with my life, that is until I met Phil Black, who changed my perspective and my life.

For some reason, the synergy between the two of us, mixed with a new awareness that he was teaching that night, triggered an inner portal which opened a spiritual path. I saw myself reconnected to the Holy Spirit and God.

This was when I experienced Oneness, where there is no duality, no right and wrong, no good and bad, no male and female. I went from feeling broken to feeling whole. This is where I saw my true values. With this renewed energy, I tapped into my feminine powers to lead from a place of calm and certainty, which is a must in business.

Experiencing Oneness gave me the energy to change what wasn’t supporting my growth.

If you feel stuck and frustrated in your situation, stay open and curious as you never know when a guide or a teacher will show up opening your mind to your conscious awareness.

To realize your dreams, tap in your inner being with love and kindness. Take the time to assess your values, what you stand for and against.

070 - Decide and Grow Rich

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Sun, 12 May 2019 08:00:00 -0700

Your destiny depends on your thoughts, the decision you take and how you act toward them. Even deciding not to take action is a decision. Fear is often the root cause behind self-doubt and lack of decision. In this state of mind, the mind becomes confused which leads to a lack of clarity. The most significant symptom: “I know what I don’t want, but I don’t know what I want.”

This is the thought that came through my mind when I turned 40. I felt my life was leading nowhere. I wasn’t happy, and I decided to do something about it.

In this video, I shared how I started my entrepreneurial journey and where my decisions have led me to so far.

069 - Why do we procrastinate?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 06 May 2019 06:49:00 -0700

Procrastination is one of the leading causes of why we do not achieve our dream in life. The deeper question is if we have big aspirations for ourselves, why do we Procrastinate?

068 - My Reincarnation

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In this video, I share how in a moment of wisdom I received an insight that led me to financial freedom.

The moment of truth came as I was handling my divorce papers and how I chose to listen to my heart instead of other peoples’ well-meaning advice.

In my opinion, the judicial system as a whole is designed to split things into smaller bits. In the case of the dissolution of a marriage, both parties bring on the table what they have and what they owe. The judge will take into consideration the fairness of the agreement and, decide according to the law. All this is fine the majority of the time.

If you have any questions, please reach out via email ask@nadiafleury.com.

However, I’m questioning the real motive as to why it has to be that way. As an example, let’s take two pies. My ex has only eaten 1/8 of the pie, I’ve eaten 7/8 of mine. The judge may say: "Mr. you owe your wife X% of what is left of your pie because you were married for more than 10 years."

Is it fair? I’m not sure. I do understand that the government created laws to make it as fair as possible and to guide people to follow specific rules. However, it was my choice that I ate 7/8 of my pie.

The sad reality is, after going to court, especially if any attorneys are involved, what will there be to split? Probably crumbs.

Deeper though, what does it say if I fight over his pie? Where am I shifting my energy? That I cannot find ways to get my own pie? I need the outer world to satisfy my need.

In my mind, financial freedom is the opposite of dependency.

In this video, I shared how I have found a way to create my own pie using my inner gifts? Instead of spending energy trying to get from others, I chose to learn how to create from within using my talents. Not only now I can bake an infinite amount of pies, but I can also share them with you.

065 - Dancing with the Piranha of uncertainty

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:10:00 -0700

The path of entrepreneurship is nothing but a long winding road of uncertainty. Often time, the only rudder is your intuitions. In this episode, Nadia shares the details of how her intuitions played a role in guiding her through the turmoil of life.

In this episode, Nadia shares how during uncertainty we do meet good people and sometimes “Piranhas” who wish to sink their teeth on whatever they can get.

The sad truth is it worked in the past. The sudden change came when Nadia discovered that most of her sabotage and choosing to ally with the wrong people came from the fear to disappoint her mom as discussed in the previous episode: “My Hypnotic Epiphanies.”

Most of the time, our limited beliefs are the root cause of our struggles. Listen in to discover how Nadia finally tuned inward and followed her instincts.

If you have any questions, please reach out via email at ask@nadiafleury.com.

064 - My Hypnotic Epiphanies

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 08:00:00 -0700

During this past month, Nadia experienced two hypnotic shows. The first one with Mark Yuzuik. The second one with De’Anna Nunez.

Both experienced allowed me to dive into a deep-rooted disempowering belief that sabotaged my success: “The fear of being a disappointment for my mom” which was attached to the guilt of receiving too much. This unconscious belief acted as if I had a virus in my programming preventing me from seeing success where it is and instead of looking for places that would sabotage my attempt at being successful.

Listen in as this episode may shine a bright spotlight on your inner fear as to why you procrastinate in your life.

If you have any question, please contact asknadia@avesence.com

063 - Why do we need validation

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Sun, 24 Mar 2019 08:00:00 -0700

During a conversation with Jaime, a book publisher, Nadia got a clear idea of her destiny. We all have an inner GPS that tells us when something is right and when something is wrong?

Choosing to listen to it is something else. This is oftentimes when we are seeking validation.

The more detached we are from our purpose, the less we hear these internal messages.

062 - Your Impact in this world

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 08:00:00 -0700

What are you willing to do, that will change lives?

With several setbacks and challenges, Nadia once again learned a valuable lesson. This time she met Ron, an affluent man who for some reasons made Nadia feels as she’s lacking something. After a few meeting here and there, she saw for the first time that she has something special. No matter how affluent Ron is, he is lacking two things. Focus and content creation. Now the next question is how to monetize it?

On her quest to create cashflow in her skincare company, she agreed to participate at several events, similar to tradeshows. At her fourth even, which turned to a fiasco because nobody showed up, a voice within her whispered, you don’t belong in the back of the room, you belong on stage. Go share your message.

Nadia realized it’s time to stop playing small. Money comes when you believe so strongly in what you have to offer, and you are willing to do whatever it takes to share your gift. Mind you, this has to align with the laws of nature. Greed, jealousy, envy and other negative feelings will only bring drama. In a positive state of mind, you can use the power of your thoughts to give you the ability to take your gift and convert it to currency.

In this episode, Nadia shares her latest plans to increase her cashflow with her skincare company. This time by asking her two girlfriends Jana, a reputable New York model and her friend Erica, who has an uncanny way to make anything happen to join forces.

Behind the scene, Nadia is committed to her growth and also to be a blessing to others by opening her heart and collaborate with same-minded individuals. In truth is, it took Nadia almost 6 months to make this happen. Why it took so long? It’s all about the power of your thoughts.

Money comes when you believe so strongly in your ideas and willing to do whatever it takes to rally a team to make an impact in this world.

059 - The Power of Focus

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia shares insights from the book: “The One Thing. The surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results.” By Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.

She explains four insights from the book that made her see from a different perspective such as multi-tasking can prevent us to be successful. The best approach, according to Gary is to block time only to do one thing, very well. This comes from Pareto’s Principle or also known as the 80/20 Principle which says that not everything should be considered in the same amount. Most of our success comes from 20% of our activities. The key to greater success is to focus on that small amount that yields the greatest results.

When choosing to only focus on one thing, you have to be OK with more chaos around you. For instance, if you wish to write a book, you might have to let go of some of the chores you used to do. And living a balanced life is an illusion that will lead you more of the same.

As time went on, she was more confused as to what she needed to do next. The relationship got intertwined, making her feel small and unheard. She could have reacted and simply let Randy go. However, in her infinite wisdom, she contacted Pati, a life coach. Pati had laid some cards on the table, and one of them was an image of a horse, but it was upside down. Pati said: “Nadia you are giving your power away. Your pain is your intuition that something is now aligned.” She said, there are things you need to address in the relationship. This situation revealed way more than anticipated.

054 - Why Negativity Exists?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 21 Jan 2019 08:00:00 -0700

The reason why negativity and pain exist is that it provides energy to propel us into action. Negativity, in a small dose, becomes a stimulant, it brings challenges, and as a human being, we thrive in achieving new things. Too much negativity becomes toxic.

I believe there’s a correlation between the leading causes of death and our state of mind, especially when we think negatively about life. I don’t really know why some people are more prone to be negative, and others are more positive, I think some of it has to do with our upbringing. Seeing our parents doing it, we assume it’s normal until it becomes too painful. The pain will set an action in motion. You start growing more aware. You now start paying more attention to the subtle clues that something is not right. Remember, your heart knows something is not correct; the thing is we let our mind reason it out. For fear to rock the boat, you start believing the problem is you.

If you have any questions, reach out to ask@nadiafleury.com

Another challenge we have is we don’t want to cause more problem or create a fight. We are also taught to be polite and respect our parents or our superiors at work. When they are the one who brings negativity in our life, we feel we have to take it.

When we are surrounded by negativity for an extended period, we assume the behavior as being normal. We live, we go through the motion. We even bring the blame onto ourselves. Or we feel we should be stronger. We shield our heart to prevent being hurt again.

If this is your situation, listen in as I’m going to share insights on how you can live a more fulfilled life.

050 - How to Seize an opportunity

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 24 Dec 2018 08:00:00 -0700

In this Episode, I’m sharing with you what may stop us from progressing forward in life. Seeing opportunities is one thing, acting on it, seizing it is something else. Don’t let the case of “one size” AKA as “once’s I’m ready, I will”

049 - You Reap What You Sow

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, I’m sharing with you how surprised and blessed I was when my 19-year-old son Matthew invited me to go to the Gym with him.

Matthew doesn’t ask for much, so when he put his request, I felt what he was asking was deeper than just going to the Gym.

He’s made his first year-long commitment to better his life, and he wanted to share this moment with someone, and he chose me. This is an exceptional moment and decided to clear my calendar to be with him.

Life has a way to mirror us. It’s no accident who we meet and what they will bring in our life. We are also a mirror to others. And in witnessing Matthew’s accomplishments and how he chooses to become is such a delight that I feel is so important that I’m sharing it here with you. Happy Listening and warm hug!

048 - Living a better life is a choice

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 10 Dec 2018 08:25:00 -0700

Nadia draws a parallel between 3 events that brings her closer to understanding that we are all God’s children and regardless of how we are born, we are meant to be.

The first event is when she met Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah at a networking event. He was born with a severely deformed right leg. In Ghana, it is common to kill children born with deformity because for centuries it has been seen as a shame for the family and often time people think the mother has sinned. These children are denied education and finish up crawling on the street.

Against all odds, Emmanuel’s mom took a bold stance and refused to have him killed. Her husband left her to raise her handicapped son by herself.

On Friday, Nadia met Cynthia, another beautiful soul who was born without ears. Their incidents put Nadia’s struggle into a different perspective making her realized that living a fulfilled life is a choice.

047 - My Financial Epiphany

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 01:25:00 -0700

Today, Nadia is sharing her financial epiphany she experienced after going through some tough trials and tribulations. It all started at the end of October when she decided to withdraw her IRA money and invest it into real estate. In this process of transferring her money, her brother called advising to invest in a certain stock as it had a potential to increase 30% overnight right after the election.

My financial adviser who was helping me with the real estate deal advised me against the idea.

Nadia was caught in a real dilemma; the stock was a gamble, what happened in it was out of her control but what if her brother was right and she could potentially make 30% profit. Trapped in this circle of thought, she failed to invest in it the day she was supposed to. Next day, to her surprise, the stock went up by 10%. She felt like she was missed out on a huge opportunity. So, without wasting another second she invested all her money in stock at a much higher price than she was supposed to.

Next day, her stock investment had suddenly deflated to -$6,000. It shattered her expectations. It hit her harder when she realized that what she had invested was the money to pay her normal bills for the next two months. She tried reaching out to her brother but he was out of touch.

At that moment, on the verge of breaking down, she somehow calmed down, gathered her hopes and figured out that there is a lesson to be learned from her miscalculation on this matter. A few days later, she heard from her brother, he had been in the hospital this entire time. This took her by surprise, she felt sad and lucky at the same time because at least, she was healthy despite her financial downfall.

Her clock was ticking and she was constantly monitoring the stock market and she nearly considered withdrawing all the deflated stocks to pay her bills. Just as she was about to transfer the money, she chose to wait a few more days. And luckily, a few days later the stock had increased high enough to sell it without losing any money.

Nadia’s epiphany here was to realize that the best place to invest is within what you can control. Job security is an illusion because you cannot control it.

Your passion, your gift, and your skills are your securities because it's all in your control, not your jobs or salaries. Financial freedom is not what the outer world can hand to you but something you acquire from within. It’s your soul which states your financial freedom, not your bank account.

Every year, when your birthday comes, you will blow some candles and make a wish. Does your wish ever get granted? Do you ever share it with your friends and family?

Nadia was thinking about wishes and her mind got transported back to when she was a young child, looking at the soot on her bedroom ceiling. She wished she could wash it but was too small. From that moment, she lived with one purpose, to put beauty around her.

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 19:25:00 -0700

During her trip to San Diego, Nadia happened to find a gold necklace on the floor with the word Sexy as a pendant. The necklace was new, in its original packaging but two links were broken. While Nadia fixed it, she made a parallel between the necklace and how we go about our life. Do we have clarity? Do we know what we want? Are we open to see new opportunities in mundane places? Please tune in for more info.

P.S. This will be the last show of Happiness: Love Yourself back to life. Next week, Nadia will start a new Program and the detail will be released on Episode 41. Please stay tuned for me.

039 - Showing up to your success

Nadia shares how being in the right place, at the right moment with the right attitude can improve your chance of success and happiness.

038 - Daring to do something different

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 14:49:00 -0700

Have you ever thought of doing something different but you don’t know how to, or you’re afraid? What’s stopping you from doing what you know needs to be done? In this episode, Nadia will have a simpler explanation as to ‘why’ and have some words of wisdom for you start working on it now.

She had shared recent experiences that she had when it comes on doing something new. According to her, nothing should stop us on doing what you want. You just have to be confident enough to explore your resources and the people around. Also, be aware of what the universe is telling you. Are you receiving serendipity or drama? And most important, you've got to feel the fear, acknowledge it and do it anyway. If you what you want to accomplish still feels out of reach, talk it over with a friend. Sometimes, clarity comes when we talk it out loud.

Once you go for it and start taking action, you start feeling good about yourself. You suddenly realized you were capable of doing something new. This feeling puts you in great spirit opening the door to more opportunities.

Your happiness doesn’t rely on other people; it’s all up to you to uncover and determine if daring something new would be worthy.

Again, another episode full of practicality and reality in life. This will surely make you wonder as to what has been stopping us from exploring more of ourselves.

037 - The 9 Environments of you

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 22:26:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia talks about the “9-Environments of you”, which was created by Thomas Leonard and taught by Phil Black from The Accelerated Leadership Academy. For more info go to https://nadiafleury.com/the-9-environments-of-you/

She explains how “the 9- Environments of you” can help in assessing where you are now and where you want to go in life.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in doing things that we don’t pay attention to where we are going. So every once in a while, it’s good to step back and see where you are heading.

According to Nadia, there are important matters to consider when you think about your environment. It’s not just about work and making money. It’s also important to take care of your other needs, like your self, your body, your memetic, your physical environment, your network, your relationship, and your spirituality. By exploring the nuances of each of the 9-Environments, you will become more aware of the world around you and more connected to it.

Paying attention to what your body is telling you is so essential for life fulfillment, especially taking the time to listen to your heart’s needs. After all, if you don’t do it for yourself, who will?

This guide gives you the ability to design the world around you so that you can become whom you desire to be, AND evolve in unexpected and often, in delightful ways.

Another pleasant voice from Nadia and her exploration on bringing us back to life through the use of our environments. We’ll surely hear constructive and intellectual counsels from her. This will surely be another way of giving ourselves a reason to live life to the fullest.

036 - The law of manifestation

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 03:52:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia shares her thoughts about how the of the law of manifestation can do wonders in our lives. According to her, it’s all about attracting the positive things we aim for. How you do one thing is how you do everything, and this statement will have a direct influence on your happiness.

Awareness and acceptance are two key things that we should use as a first step towards “manifestation.” Once you become aware, you start paying attention to your thoughts and action.

Nadia was able to experience the law of manifestation firsthand, just recently, when she was trying to look for a location for her YouTube video.

In this episode, Nadia shares how she “manifested” the perfect video location for her sizzle reel. It took a lot of effort; however, she prevailed. The power of manifestation is not that it’s effortless. It simply shortens the time it takes to obtain what you are looking for.

Of course, it starts with knowing exactly what you want. When you are not clear, it’s like giving the universe the whole alphabet and tell it to construct the sentences for you.

In this episode, Nadia explains in detail how she used meditation to manifest what she was looking for.

Another part of this episode was when she came across her friend Olivia, whom she tried explaining her thoughts about our energy. Nadia used her as an example to illustrate how we are suppressing ourselves concerning acceptance and awareness.

Again, a lot of exciting and life-changing thoughts from Nadia. She has been truly an eye opener who have relieved us from the burden of our lives. This is another abundant and fruitful voice to hear as we bring ourselves back to life.

035 - The Diamond Within You

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 06:07:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia helps us open our minds and grasp the diamond within ourselves. She shares some personal experiences in doing her first professional video and makes a parallel to her childhood life where she turned tedious chores into a game of pretending to film commercials.

Connecting dots from her past, present, and future, she explains how in each of us we have a gift, and the idea is to carve away a little each day what prevents the light from shining on our diamond.

Being able to tap in our gift could help us reveal the diamond within us, bringing more happiness to our life. Nadia points out some of her thoughts on how we can find our own gift through using our creativity.

Yes, we all have a diamond inside us. The magic comes when we let go of our analytical mind and follow our heart instead, allowing to surrender to its possibilities. Just like excavating real diamonds, digging inward takes patience, strength, and courage. Yet, there is no greater bliss than tapping into your hidden gift and discovering your true potential.

This is again another enlightening episode from Nadia which informs and illuminate the reality of life and how we have, within us the ability to live a happy fulfilled life.

034 - How far are you willing to go?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -0700

What does it take to succeed is determination?

Let’s imagine there are 100 people in a room. All of them are invited to work with a mentor that is willing to teach every step of the way how to achieve anything you desire, wealth, love or happiness.

Off the bat, 20% will have “excusitis.” They will not believe this to be true or possible.

Of the 80% remaining, 20% - 16 people will make an initial attempt to learn and apply the information for about two weeks and then decide “it’s just too big of a commitment for me right now.” Then they’re gone.

Of the 64 people who remain, 32 people (or 50%) will give up halfway through the program (or earlier). They usually last around the 3 to 6 months. These people really do want to succeed, except they lack commitment.

Of the 32 people remaining – 90% (or 29 people) will go on their own tangent, hit one major roadblock, often related to the lack of money and they will stop there. These 29 people will stop mostly because of fear.

Of the original 100 people, only three will make it through the finish line.

Do you have what is required to be one of the 3 people?

033 - The Gift of Time

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 27 Aug 2018 12:00:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia talks about her insights on how valuable time is. As she always says, “time is of the essence,” especially when it comes to building relationships, not just an intimate relationship but even as simple as friendship.

She shared her opinions about the movie “Our Souls at Night,” where two people, after 40 years, found each other’s company to be a great relationship. She pointed out some excellent points about acting now instead of waiting.

In line with that, Nadia also pooled the relationship that she’d built with her neighbor, Nixza. Nadia and Nixza’s relationship was impressive as they have become family. They have learned the importance and value of having each other by their side, not just because they need something with each other, but simply because they wanted to.

Another icebreaker that will make us contemplate on what we are doing with our time. We always wanted to achieve something, even in our ripest age, and yet, we forgot to use the time somehow to build relationships and be happy. Another excellent podcast from Nadia, hoping that everyone following this is just steps away from leading a happy and fulfilling life through the use of our valuable time!

032 - You will see it when you believe it.

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 01:00:00 -0700

“When we look at successful people, we often time think of them as being born lucky. In truth, we are all born starting somewhere, and it’s up to us to rise above and find ways to turn any adversity into something positive. It begins with the ability to believe.”

In this episode, Nadia dives in depth in one of a coaching call she had with Tal Shai, psychotherapist, and an Intuitive Business Coach on April 2014. During that call, Nadia experienced a vision of her future. She tells us the story of how she met a spirit animal named crow-medicine.

At the time, she didn't understand many of the principles of the messages. She had a choice, to trust it or to forget about it. Because of her deep longing to find happiness and freedom, she put her faith in the wisdom of what was revealed to her even though it didn't make sense.

All of us have a story; it’s part of our journey. The journey to self-discovery is the most challenging and the most rewarding at the same time. Are you ready to explore your own journey?

031 - Making Love 101

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 13 Aug 2018 21:10:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia took the time to express her insights about making love. For her, making love is not just about sex, it’s about understanding self-worth, having self-love and love of God.

To further expand her point, she made a comparison between the two kinds of relationship, conscious living, and unconscious living. She even shared some views from the book, “Becoming Supernatural” by Joe Dispenza.

Nadia never thought that love would be such a great feeling that would help her to be happier and fulfilled. Making love is all about the love that you’re feeling inside you, and you’re releasing it to the world via compassion.

Nadia also shared her experiences in making love as she struggles with finding herself and using her love to get strength, kind-heartedness, and contentment.

This is another interesting chapter in Nadia’s life that will surely touch our hearts, and teach us on how to love ourselves back to life.

030 - My Blissful Weekend

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 06 Aug 2018 17:20:00 -0700

This episode was a blithe celebration of Nadia’s achievement and blissful weekend. Nadia was able to achieve her 30th episode and was so grateful that she just simply wants to share with everyone how she has taken things positively nowadays.

Nadia shared how wonderful her weekend had been; her mentor paid her a visit despite his busy schedule, she was able to reconnect with her friend, Kim, and she had a happy weekend well spent with her son and ex-husband. But, after so much happening during the weekend, Nadia still gave herself some time to relax and unwind.

Wrapping it up, she shared some good points as to what she had learned about using her “me time”. She had made decent decisions and had felt glad that she gave time for herself too. Another helpful insightful episode from Nadia and her exploration of her new self.

029 - Becoming Supernatural

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 30 Jul 2018 19:25:00 -0700

Becoming supernatural doesn’t mean that you have to be different nor you have to become a superhero. In this episode, Nadia took the time to elaborate on how we can simply be supernatural in our own ways, with the help of our own energy and mindset.

Nadia strongly believes in the law of attraction. The same concept was used in the book, “Becoming Supernatural”, by Dr. Joe Dispenza, which was used in the episode to further explain the topic. According to the author, you cannot create a new reality if you keep looking in the rear-view mirror, you have to think more of positive thoughts.

Nadia thoroughly explained how we should be aware and conscious of our decisions in life as we tend to attract whatever we think of, most of the time.

To tie up with her views, she shared how Dr. Dispenza’s idea of creating “my own mind-movie” would help us draw what our future could be.

Another exhilarating topic from Nadia and her journey of loving herself back to life. We surely will learn a lot from her again.

028 - The Power of Male Female alliance

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 23 Jul 2018 19:23:00 -0700

In this episode, we talk about the different energies and ideas that are brought about by the way men and women think differently. It has been an age-old fact that men and women, albeit from the same species, think very differently from each other because of a lot of different factors. Men, the problem solvers, always on the get-go. Women, the analytical, thinking ahead.

Men may be very conservative, very critical, of the way they think and do things. Very methodical, to say the least. Women, on the other hand, are very thorough, very open, and like to share what’s on their minds.

Nadia shares an anecdote of her son, how a little boy could think and feel at such a very ripe age. She also shares a story about Tony, her friend, who is also a father. These stories depict how men think very differently from women and once we learn to appreciate our differences, joining force can be rewarding.

Although these are pretty much very polar in different aspects, Nadia shares how this difference may be beneficial to our daily lives, not only in business but in our personal agenda. The way men and women are different makes their congregation diverse, helping each other, and ultimately bearing wondrous outcomes.

027 - Our Quest For Togetherness

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 06:00:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia shares her thoughts about “our quest for togetherness.” She expounds on the reason as to why we long for togetherness in our lives. She surfaced on some of the important parts of life where we need “togetherness” or being together with someone who would make us feel loved and important.

Nadia enunciated some of her personal experiences as to how she felt that need of togetherness in her life and how it made her stronger and happy.

People nowadays tend to underestimate the need for togetherness as they tend to assume that we always need to be independent. Just like how we’re raising our kids to be independent. But apparently, there’s still a part of us that would actually need someone to assure us that we’re in the right path of life, someone who would appreciate what we do and how we have been; someone who really cares.

As per Nadia, there’s no greater gift than knowing that we make a difference, big or small. And that we need someone who would at least make us feel that way even on small things; at least to let us know that we’re doing good things in our life.

This is another distinct episode for another great week; wishing everyone healthy and deep meaningful connections!

026 - Are you the leader of your life?

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 07:18:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia shares her views on how we personally control our lives. As we commemorated the American Independence Day, Nadia was celebrating her Freedom. She further explains her insights on how we can be the leader of our life.

According to Nadia, freedom starts in our heart, in our state of mind and in how we feel about ourselves. Usually, people would make a decision based on their situations and in some instance, the choices are based on fear in mind.

Nadia makes a parallel with her friend Erica who has done her best to support her two kids but still struggles in finding happiness.

The truth is we have a choice although they are not always easy choices; the key is to stay open to options.

Happiness is a choice; you cannot predict what might happen; however, you can choose how you will react to a given situation. You just have to take charge of your own life regardless of what your status might be. Diving in and addressing the root cause is the real solution to find a place of happiness within.

This episode is a reminder of how we lead our life. It’s another valuable lesson from Nadia Fleury that everyone following this podcast could use in loving yourself back to life.

025 - Crossing The Bridge to Freedom

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 08:00:00 -0700

In this week’s episode, Nadia shares her thoughts on crossing the bridge to freedom, prompted by a conversation she had with her friend Martha.

She considers if people’s thoughts, ideas, and creativity are worth paying for, as they are not physical products.

Using lessons learned from Napoleon Hill’s “How to Own Your Own Mind,” she discusses that fairly compensating people for their creativity yields good results and helps to create lasting alliances and positive relationships.

She explains how it is important to value those who you collaborate with in order to cross your own bridge to freedom – if they were not there helping you, you may only have an idea. In order to motivate people, your desire and belief must shine through, to get them invested in your cause, then they too will work to the best of their ability, in a team effort to help you reach your goal and cross that bridge.

She stresses the importance of creative vision and determination; both traits are a must when facing challenges to reach your goal.

A great episode for motivation to cross your own bridges, with advice on how to build a team to help you get there!

024 - Connecting The Dots

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 04:49:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia shares with us how a childhood dream made her understand that we may sometimes think that things are too far out, too unreachable, too impossible, when in fact they are things within our grasp; we just haven’t realized it yet.

She also shares how as a child she could get the things she wanted by being “acute, playful, and smart” and how that molded her to see things in a different light, in where she had to observe and understand the things happening around her, and act accordingly to those factors, so she could get what she wanted.

Connecting The Dots focuses on how our actions could lead to many different domino effects in our life, sometimes and hopefully all the time, leading for us to get to where we really want to be in life.

This episode is another eye-opener and makes us, the listeners, ponder and think what we wanted to achieve even in our ripest age, and circle back to qualify whether we have done what is necessary to achieve these aspirations. Another worthwhile listen from Nadia Fleury, hoping that everyone following this podcast is just steps away from leading successful, fulfilling, and desirable lives through positive thinking and positive actions!

023 - Creating Change For the Greater Good

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 18 Jun 2018 01:04:00 -0700

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? What if you are the player, referee, the goalie, and you play both parts of the team? Wouldn’t that give you all the reasons to win? In this episode, Nadia explains how her life changed for the better after letting go of what is probable in order to live an exceptional life. She brings in the teaching of Dr. Srini Pillay from Harvard who explains the neuroscience of financial success.

Nadia explains that besides visualization there is another driven force which is the power of love.

022 - Why We Fear Chemicals

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 06:53:00 -0700

In this week’s episode, Nadia addresses the fear of chemicals and bacteria in our lives.

It all started from an incident that happened to her on Friday which challenged her own mindset. This episode goes to show that our fears aren’t always what they seem.

We tend to think that naturally derived materials may be better than synthetic ones. As Nadia wittily puts it, we are surrounded by natural chemical reactions like biodegradation and fermentation. But these reactions are often produced in labs. Whether you are afraid of those synthetic chemicals or not boils down to your mindset.

Nadia explains that even inside us, we have as many, if not more, bacteria cells as human cells in our body. Then what compels some people to fear germs and use antimicrobial soap?

Depending on how we feel—fearful, stressed, or fulfilled—our body will produce different chemicals in different ratios. So it is important to pay attention to what you tell yourself as you will attract more of what you think.

Another great podcast for another great week, wishing everyone well and a healthy mindset!

021 - The Golden Rules

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 08:00:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia shares Napoleon Hill’s views on the Golden Rules.

In this episode, Nadia shares her thoughts and insight about the Golden Rule – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” And takes it a step further, bringing the law of manifestation explained in “The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles.

She tastefully ties both, the law of attraction and the law of manifestation which, in a nutshell, states that “Your thoughts create a feeling. This feeling is turned into action, and the action will yield a specific result.”

Nadia shares an anecdote about her father’s ways to fend for the family, especially in raising pigs with “free” feeds, which did not yield the result that her father had hoped for.

This led to a realization within Nadia that she did not think negatively of her father, but because of what happened, she chose to lead her life differently and made a pact with herself that she did not want to become what her father chose to become at his age.

The Golden Rule, together with the law of attraction and law of manifestation, as Nadia says, is the perfect recipe for leading fruitful and successful lives. This ensures that we attract the people who are like-minded as we are, and shares the same beliefs and values, and such people would elect to do business with us and support our growth.

This is surely another great podcast episode which will definitely enlighten and open our minds into what we are missing and what we need to do to realize the success and growth we’ve been searching for.

020 - Closing the Gap

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 29 May 2018 00:10:00 -0700

In this week’s episode, Nadia shares with us what she learned from the book “The 3 Gaps” by Hyrum W. Smith which details ideas about the choices and decisions we make in life and how it affects our behaviors towards these decisions. Some will take the easy way out, yet some will challenge themselves and bring out the best in them.

The book focuses on the three “gaps” which are “belief gap”, the “value gap”, and the “time gap” respectively. In this episode, Nadia focuses on the one gap she believes has not been tackled through the course of this podcast: The Value Gap.

The Book states that in order for us to close the “Value Gap”, we first need to establish and understand what values govern us. What is the thing that we will do at all costs, to protect and live these values?

What may be of value to one, may not be as valuable to another. In this way of thinking, we are positioned in such a way that we each live our lives differently, according to the values that we stand up for.

This is a great podcast that will open your mind and enable you to understand your values and help you in your journey to reach your goals and promote self-awareness and betterment. Have a listen and experience for yourselves the beauty that lies within us.

019 - The Gift Of Life

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 22 May 2018 06:11:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia reflects on being a mom on Mother’s day and how each decision impacts your future.

018 - Does your expectation bring happiness

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 14 May 2018 08:19:00 -0700

In this week’s episode, we talk about one of the things that may or may not pose as a challenge in our daily lives; our own expectations. More often than not, we are motivated to do things, big or small, by the common expectation that we’ve already formulated in our brain. We are already anticipating an outcome from everything that we do. Sometimes, the actual result of our actions may or may not be to our liking, or at par with our expectations, which makes us feel different from what we expected.At the same time, Nadia speaks about the expectation of our surroundings towards us. This expectation sometimes dictate the way we present ourselves to the world, thinking that this would conform to others’ expectation of us. May it be our friends, our spouse, or simply other people that we deal with in life, they would have expectations of us, and it is up to us if we would conform to these expectations or not.

Wrapping this episode up, Nadia leaves with us the idea that whether or not things align or not with our expectations, we have the full freedom to act upon it and decide how the actual outcome affects us. Good or bad, we decide for ourselves whether the expected outcome makes us happy, or challenges us to become better people and tell ourselves that even the worst outcomes yield good in them.

017 - When you lose momentum

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 07 May 2018 18:55:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia continues sharing her journey into self-realization, this time describing one of her experiences with her friend Paprika. Delighted with her immediate and future success, shared on episode 15 “My overnight success,” Nadia couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

However, throughout, the evening, friction started to arise as Paprika challenged Nadia’s views on her faith and beliefs.

Feeling exasperated, Nadia decided to show “Paprika” her blueprints and plans on her computer to prove that her ideas were backed with a sound plan. At that point, the conversation became more abrasive sending Nadia into fear and self-doubt, losing her momentum and questioning her existence.

Nadia had to use many tricks, to get out of this negative state of mind, tapping into the four Archetypes that we have inside us; the Lover, the Warrior, the Queen, and the Wizard. These personas are all within us and portray a different character within us, leading to very different outcomes in life. The ability to tap into these archetypes drives us to achieve our goals.

After coming out of this turmoil, Nadia understood the deeper message. What was shared had nothing to do with the actual conversation. Paprika is simply not ready to visualize her dreams because the fear of being disappointed is too great to bear if it doesn’t materialize.

In retrospect, getting feedback from our closest friends or family may lead us closer to self-realization. We should not take feedback lightly, as often time there is hidden wisdom within the message. And even though sometimes our friend may say something that hurt us, accepting to see the real meaning behind it may bring insights that will lead you to greater achievements in your life.

016 - My Overnight Success

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 01 May 2018 07:58:00 -0700

In this week’s episode, we uncover one of the things that we commonly miss in our day-to-day lives, and that is looking back at the past that paved the way to what we are today.

Nadia comes with a nostalgic flavor this week when she chanced upon a letter she wrote ten years ago: her pledge as to what she wanted to eventually do with her company. Looking at this piece of written memory that was written before all the success of her skincare line, Avesence, Nadia ponders what the past has brought into her life that makes her what she is today.

We will meet critical partners in our journey. Looking back at what transpired then will make us realize why things are the way they are today.

The idea of a “magic bullet,” something that will automatically bring us success, is non-existent, as Nadia explains. There is no shortcut to success, to being who we want to be. It is all derived from working hard, putting all your passion and effort into whatever it is in life you decide to pursue. This is the way to achieve our goals and become the person we want to be.

Join us this week as we get into the details of how examining the events of our past helps us make more meaningful decisions for our future.

015 - My Unshackled Sherpa

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 05:21:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia states her views on the need to forego all the things that are holding us down and prevents us from growing to our full potential. She explains that the ideals and values that were instilled in us at such a young age, molds our behavior and the way we tackle our challenges as we get older.

Nadia shares with us the story of how her life came to cross her mentor’s path, Aaron Young. Aaron is a wealthy businessman who owns a lot of companies and focuses on helping others in their business strategies.

Nadia attended a convention where Aaron spoke and shared stories from his humble beginnings, to his rise to success, and even his challenges where he had to spend fourteen months and one week in Federal Prison for a crime he did not commit. Aaron has a long history in business and corporate establishment, and in these stories, Nadia was able to pick up the ideals and values which mold her to this day.

Nadia encourages us in this episode to break free from the bonds that make us think that we are not good enough, that we do not belong. Only in doing so, in gaining confidence, would we the strength to tackle any and all of the problems that come our way. We are bigger than who we think we are.

“Unshackled Sherpa” shares the value that no one should be alone in this journey in life. May it be friends, family, significant others, we would always have someone to help us and guide us through.

014 - Art That Speaks To Your Heart

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 21:39:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia reflects on art creation. She explains that art comes in many forms and we are all uniquely talented in some ways. Everything manufactured, from jewelry, furniture, and car has been created by someone. Nadia shares her experience in working in the field of science not realizing she was not just solving problems; she was creating art.

If you have any questions, you can reach Nadia at ask@nadiafleury.com

Nadia also draws a parallel on how false beliefs have prevented many artists from thriving because of fear of promoting their craft. And that same false belief prevented Nadia from enjoying arts from others. In reality, life is short and precious, and for now on, she chooses to share her talent openly as well as appreciating other people’s art. About you, what would you create if you had no limits?

013 - Your true essence is a gift

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 21:52:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia addresses the importance of the male-female energy and how western media and society had suggested that femininity is weak and insignificant. The sad truth is, these ideas of being weak and insignificant had disconnected ourselves from who we are and had weakened us even more.

If you have any questions, you can reach Nadia at ask@nadiafleury.com

To further explain, Nadia brings forth the book from Morgan Wonderly, which is called: “Simply Feminine: Surprising Insights from Men”. From this book, Nadia had pointed out some important facts on how we can simply use our smile and eye contact to connect to other people, and how man and woman can actually benefit from each other.

She has shared some interesting facts about the differences between men and women, and how each one’s essence can be used to achieve one’s happiness and fulfillment in life.

What level of love do you have? Is it something that makes you happy or just something that satisfies you temporarily?

In this episode, Nadia will share the Four Levels of Love. She explains how each category carries different emotions, and how each impacts happiness and wealth. The Four Levels of Love are Baby Love, Trading Love, Unconditional Love and Spiritual Love.

If you have any questions, you can reach Nadia at ask@nadiafleury.com

Baby Love is when you tend to needy; Trading Love is when you give love in exchange for something; Unconditional Love is simply loving unconditionally, and Spiritual Love is when you achieve a place of transcendence.

Nadia shares examples with each level of love. She also makes a parallel as to how love can have a direct impact to your happiness and wealth.

011 - Your Gift

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 08:00:00 -0700

Have you ever asked yourself what gifts do you have? Or what would you like to give in this world? Ever wonder how your gift and other people’s gift would make an impact in your life? In this episode, Nadia will share how she was able to receive gifts from others.

She will share her experience in attending “The Best You Expo,” in Long Beach, CA. This is a show that started in London, the UK by Bernardo Moya. Nadia shares her insights and experiences as to what this show brought in her life.

If you have any questions, you can reach Nadia at ask@nadiafleury.com

Nadia’s weekend would not have been complete if she hadn’t decided, on the spur of the moment, to turn around and have a chat with Steve Kelly, Advisor of Best You. The casual “hello” turned into a mutual friendship which may lead over time to a global collaboration between two continents.

Nadia also witnessed the power of collaboration when business leaders chose to put their discomfort aside to make a difference in this world by reaching out and collaborating together. Two of these individuals, Aaron Young and Berny Dohrmann are Nadia’s mentors. And for the first time, she saw these men in action by doing what they’ve always preached — helping one another.

Nadia also shares her experience in hearing entrepreneur and philanthropist, Ryan Long. We often time see prominent people on top, believing they were raised with a silver spoon. It wasn’t the case with Ryan. Ryan shared his experience and how, regardless of his adversity, he managed to be the best version of himself. And who would have thought that a 15-minute speech could have such impact? Listen in to find out. And if you have any questions, you can reach Nadia at ask@nadiafleury.com

010 - Your list of needs

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 00:52:00 -0700

First please note there will be a change in the episode format. I had many requests to discuss more in detail about entrepreneurship and skincare, to allow some time for the creations of these show, I will be reducing the love yourself back to life show from three to one episode per week. The episode will be released on Monday and will last between 15 to 20 mins.

In this episode, Nadia explains the importance of knowing your list of needs. Once you know, it helps you connect with your feelings. Your needs and feelings determine what fulfills you. Only you can tell what you desire. These desires will determine what your goals are allowing to live in a place of authenticity.

If you have any questions, you can reach Nadia at ask@nadiafleury.com

On the other side, not knowing or not tapping into your list of needs, it may bring in your life hardship and disappointments. You may be seeking happiness from external sources or substances like alcohol or drugs. Or it may keep you in a co-dependent relationship driven by entanglement and drama.

Nadia brings some of Gay Hendricks’s book: Conscious Loving: “The Journey to Co-Commitment and explains that a relationship can only exist when two people, each taking 100 percent responsibility for his or her life and for the results each creates. There are no victims.”

Nadia goes into more detail as to why we struggle with being transparent with our feelings and desires. Each of us is responsible for seeking what we want as this is the starting point to better define your goals in life. At the end of the day, if you cannot tell what you want, how can you expect others to make you happy?

Nadia also explains the importance of letting our feeling come to us. We have to love and accept each feeling and let it go its full cycle. That is where learning and growth come from.

009 - Are You Committed To Your Happiness

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 05:39:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia explains in order to be happy it requires commitments. And your choices in life will dictate your success. However, this is easier said than done. Often time we chose familiarity rather than risking big. What is at the core of this behavior is fear.

Taken from the book The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, Nadia brings forth the 4 hidden barriers that limit our life: Fear of being Flawed, Disloyalty and abandonment, More success will bring a bigger burden and the crime of outshining.

008 - Your Magical Mind

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 21:26:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia draws a parallel between how in the conscious world we worry about what pollution does to our skin, however, what effects, even more, is the pollution we put in our own mind. She explains how we avoid shining how to bring light out there because of our limitation either inflicted by society or by ourselves. For centuries we have been dealing with double standards and we assumed it always has to be like that.

007 - Addressing your Incompletions

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 00:38:00 -0700

In this episode, Nadia explains the importance of completing the things you’ve promised to do — and what happens when you don’t. It creates an energy trap, which affects your self-worth. Nadia goes into detail about why we don’t finish things. It can be because of procrastination or because the task is too difficult to handle. The key is to find something that aligns with your abilities while also being mindful of your time, as well as the time of others. You might start something that eventually takes you on a completely new path. So be prepared to see blessings in disguise.

If you have any questions, you can reach Nadia at: ask@nadiafleury.com

Nadia also addresses toleration. Incompletions and tolerations are both energy drains. She also provides suggestions about what to do when you feel stuck. Sometimes the best thing to do is change the story you tell yourself in your mind. Or focus on what you can change at your current time. Even if it’s a small change, it can have a huge impact in the long run. Small and committed actions done over time can bring greater results than any unfinished grand plans. The key is to be committed to being happy.

006 - The Power of Releasing | Part 2

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 02:34:00 -0700

The Power of Releasing—Part 2

In this episode, Nadia wraps up “The Power of Releasing.” She explains that our mind captures and stores events, creating life experiences. Depending on your state of mind and the story you choose to believe, these events can help you grow or prevent you from achieving your full potential.

Painful past events may disconnect you from your heart’s true values, resulting in an unhappy state of mind. To fix the situation, it’s best to address the source of the problem, rather than looking at fixing the symptoms. Nadia shares how she released her biggest false belief that was preventing her from being successful.

And in conclusion, Nadia witnesses firsthand the wisdom behind “giver’s gain” when she experiences being the facilitator for someone else’s release. She admits that it’s a game changer in her life.

005 - The Power of Releasing | Part 1

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 06:00:00 -0700

THE POWER OF RELEASING — PART 1

In the Power of Releasing (Part 1) Nadia explains being happy can be challenging and she shares her believe that releasing is at the core of regaining your happiness. She describes how holding on to a grudge can affect you physically and emotionally and often time without knowing that you are holding on to old, unsupportive beliefs. All you know is symptoms of lacking energy and motivations.

She explains that going after your dream requires a dose of daring. Yes, as funny as it sounds, you have to dare to be happy. She explains how her life turned around when she experienced her first release. And how powerful it is to surround yourselves with same-minded individuals who will push you to do better in life. She also addresses why negativity exists and the power of those blessing in disguise.

004 - The Answer Is Within Your Reach

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 03:21:00 -0700

In this podcast, Nadia discusses a moment of awakening when her priorities changed after the birth of her son. She was no longer willing to work six days a week, nor 60 hours a week. Deep down, Nadia was looking for a way to have more time with her son without it affecting her lifestyle.

The sad truth is that the root cause of many of our decisions, or lack of actions, is fear. Especially fear of poverty. Every time you wonder how will you pay your bill, what’s really underneath that thought? Fear of lacking, or not having enough.

Nadia goes on to explain how thoughts are everything. If you allow your brain to feel scared, you will attract more fear – or attract people that have similar thoughts.

The only way to find happiness is to take the time to search within yourself and learn what truly matters to you. Then, instead of denying your wish, use the power of positive thinking and visualization to attract what you desire.

It starts with positive thoughts, mixed with unwavering faith and belief that your wish can be achieved. Another essential element is to be grateful. The universe is abundant. However, it will only give more of what you appreciate.

I invite you to listen in to discover how happiness is truly within your reach!

003 - How Drifting Lead to Lack of Self-Confidence

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 08:00:00 -0700

As with anything in life, if you keep repeating it over and over, regardless if it’s true or not, there will come a time when you’ll start believing your own story. Whether it’s based on fact or not is irrelevant. If you’re saying it long enough, you’ll start believing it’s true. And there was a lot of that going on in my life. Over time, it affected my self-worth and my self-confidence.

To explain what took place, I discuss an excerpt from the book Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. The book was written in 1938 after the Great Depression.

Read Full Transcript

In the book, the Devil explains that his part in life is the negative energy that lives in the minds of people who fear him. He occupies one half of every atom of physical matter, in every unit of mental and physical energy. He is basically the negative portion of an atom.

On the opposite side, there is God. God controls the positive factors and all the natural laws throughout the universe. He is the positive side of the atom. God is the positive forces of the world, which includes love, faith, hope, and optimism. The Devil explains that his job is to lure as many people as possible over to the negative side by occupying the unused space of the human brain.

The Devil uses fear and other sorts of bribes or motives to subdue you to a point where you no longer think for yourself. And when you’re in that zone, you’ll be taken over by the law of compensation — meaning you will “reap what you sow.” That’s why it’s important to understand that everything you do and everything around you is energy.

002 - Your Inner Child

Nadia Fleury | Alchemist — Wed, 28 Feb 2018 08:00:00 -0700

This is "Love Yourself Back to life" Episode #2: Your inner child!

Welcome to Love Yourself Back to life. I'm your host, Nadia Fleury

You dream of living a successful life, yet you feel emotionally empty. You know something is missing, but you don't know what it is. What if the answer was already within your reach?

With each episode, I will help you see life through new lenses, shining the spotlight on your inner world, eliciting awareness and wisdom.

My mission is to release what's blocking the flow of your success— to awaken your full potential and love yourself back to life!

YOUR INNER CHILD

Let me illustrate my point with this story.

I'm looking at a child. From where I stand, I cannot tell if it's a boy or a girl. All I can see is the child playing in a puddle of water. Let's just say he's a boy. He's wearing a raincoat and cute rubber boots.

He is amazed by how the water moves depending on the weight of his footsteps. He gets the idea to jump in the middle. Mud splatters everywhere, including in his laughing mouth. He spits it out and continues playing, going in a circle in and around the puddle.

Looking at this child's innocence is actually a beautiful scene. He certainly lives the moment.

However, what if this child is you right now? What if this child is your age? What if when he looks at the puddle, it's like you looking at your tasks?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE HEADING IN LIFE?

What if his outlook on life with no care in the world was actually how you saw your own world? Living without thinking about where you are heading tomorrow.

Yes, I agree it's important to live in the moment. As long as the moment is supporting your goals, no? That is, if you have goals or aspirations in the first place.

Going back to the story, what if the child is playing by himself not because he wants to but because something happened to him? What if he chose to isolate himself because someone hurt his feelings? Or because of fear?

What if the child is there not because he wants to but because the bus that just came by didn't pick him up?

He could have been told he wasn't ready to get on the bus, or he arrived too late and missed it.

What we can extrapolate so far from this story is this boy is there because he's waiting for something to happen.

ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN?

Sometimes we don't act because we feel we are not ready or we are missing something. Like we don't have the degree, the connections, the know-how, or we don't have the right environment. It is true that your willpower is not as strong as your environment. However, it is your responsibility to do something about it.

TIME AND MONEY: THE TWO THINGS WE LONG FOR THE MOST

Usually, the things we long for most are time and money. So while we have neither, we stay stuck in that puddle of water. I know how it feels because I was in that puddle for several years.

When you live in it, you feel all the reasons why you are "stuck" there are valid. However, know that you always have a choice.

FEAR IS WHAT KEEPS US STRUGGLING EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY

You can keep looking at the puddle and say, "I'm stuck, and I don't have a choice," or you can actually say what if I had a choice? What if I wasn't afraid? What if I had all the money in the world?

Sometimes, the real reason as to why we stay stuck is because we don't want to revisit deep scars.

How many of us bare the pain of witnessing cruelty? Or remember the sick feeling in your stomach, hiding away in the bedroom with a pillow on top of your head because your parents or the adults who are in charge of you were having a very heated argument?

NEGATIVE THOUGHTS MAKE US BELIEVE WE ARE FLAWED

How many of us have been hit as a child - making us feel we were flawed when in all actuality were simply learning just to be?

Speaking for myself, I was hit on more than I can count. It wasn't constant, but I remember retiring to my bedroom feeling very sad and hurt. However, the physical pain is nothing compared to the emotional one.

Being told you were not worth their time, felt you are a burden on their shoulder or made fun of because you didn't catch a concept quickly, or felt abandoned or left alone for a long time. All these can be the real reason as to why you are still looking at the puddle of mud today.

You may say you are truly enjoying what you do right now. Or what if you pretend to be happy to cover up something buried in your chest? And you don't dare go in because just the thought of it is painful.

FORGIVENESS IS MEDICINE FOR YOUR SOUL

For me, I chose to forgive and let go of my dad's shortcomings. What is the point of holding on to a boulder that stops the flow of happiness into my heart? I chose to do it inside myself by writing a letter telling I forgave him. It was my way to heal. I also know that he didn't have it easy growing up. So I gave him space.

Regardless of the situation, your inner child still lives in you today, and depending on how you were affected in the past; it may cause havoc in your life right now.

Most of us spend our lives not knowing we have an inner child inside us. Yes, we all have an inner child. Your inner child is the unconscious part of your being.

Now you would say, how can you tell? Here are the signs of your inner child:

• No concept of time.

• Can't plan.

• Difficulty focusing on a task.

• Just want to play.

• Live or talk with spontaneity.

• Creative.

• Not attuned to other people's needs.

• Needy.

• Cry to get what you want.

• Don't know what you want.

• Say silly jokes out of context

• Wants to eat or sleep now.

• Looking for physical or emotional attention

LET ME ILLUSTRATE WITH ANOTHER STORY.

HOW YOU DO ONE THING IS HOW YOU DO EVERYTHING

Todd is this goofball guy at work. No one really knows what he does. He's has an office, but somehow he doesn't seem to do much. He doesn't take life too seriously.

You can always count on Todd to make you laugh. Everybody knows that when there's a party, Todd will be the center of the attention. The thing is, Todd does wish to be promoted, but his behavior doesn't give him a chance. No one in the upper management can trust him to take on a project and finish it.

In reality, Todd does wish to climb up the corporate ladder, but he feels it's beyond him. He hides his true feelings behind his goofiness.

In fact, sometimes, his goofiness comes out of him almost without any control. It happens to me, too, sometimes when I realize I should have said that "silly joke" or when my hugs turn into a tackle.

THE REALITY BEHIND THE FEAR OF COMMITMENT

So why does Todd act as he does, or do I sometimes let my inner child out? Sometimes it's because of fear. It can be all sorts of fear. Fear of commitment, being successful, or not being good enough. Todd and I hide our fear behind our goofiness.

In the case of Todd, he may be scared of being tied into a "desk" job because of what his friends might say about him.

WE CHOOSE OUR ENVIRONMENT TO MATCH OUR FEAR

Just know that unconsciously we choose our environment to match our fear. So in Todd's case, his choice of friends is no accident. As long as he hangs with them, he doesn't have to think too hard about his life.

A LIFE EVENT CAN BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

Sometimes a life event comes into play and wakes us up. Let's just continue with Todd's example. His behavior at work and his regard to what his friends might think may change when he suddenly sees his first daughter being born.

In my case, I let my inner child out when I needed to release too much weight on my shoulders.

HOW ABOUT STIFLING YOUR INNER CHILD

I was in an environment where criticisms were the norm. I think I lived most of my life with someone always telling me what not to do. Being a no-box person, meaning, I don't think outside of the box; I don't even have a box; I was considered reckless from the perspective of someone who likes the comfort of being in the box.

On the other side, because of my upbringing, being raised on welfare, I grew up fast and "over-responsible." So for the longest time, I stifled my inner child.

I will never forget the evening when my inner child took control of me. It was early January, on a cold rainy night.

Only ten people showed up at the event. The trainer in question decided not to follow the script and did something more intimate, as he called it. He went on to explain that there is a conscious mind that is at the tip of the iceberg, and there's this huge mass below the surface called the unconscious. And as much as "we" like to think, we make rational decisions. We never do. We chose with our hearts and justified with our minds.

LIVING CONSCIOUSLY

The trainer continued and explained that went we live unconsciously; we tend to live our life by default. We don't think much of it and don't expect much either.

We live with old unconscious habits.

We stay where it's familiar, or what I refer to as keeping the status quo.

Wanting to control everything around us.

And being righteous, meaning always wanting to be right.

When he explained about all these four things, I suddenly understood why I was struggling in my environment.

I was fighting the status quo. I didn't like anything that is familiar. I love to experience new stuff. So in a way, my husband, at the time, didn't know what to expect from me from one day to the next. He couldn't control his environment. And the best of all, he lived to be right.

Actually, he took it a step further. "I know I'm wrong; I'm wrong, I'm always wrong," he would say.

And me, being an entrepreneur, these words like right or wrong don't exist. I think more like: Ok, let's adjust that a little this way. To me, for any challenges, there are always several options depending on the circumstances.

ARGUING WITH SOMEONE IS A SIGN THAT YOU LIVE UNCONSCIOUSLY

The thing is, I couldn't think like my husband, and he couldn't think like me, so we were always arguing to a standstill.

Later on, the trainer said something about people who want to be "right" are often time uptight. And he puffed up his chest, and he said these people have a hard time even laughing. And he made a parallel with a child who would laugh from his belly.

He made an allusion that we should live more like a 2-year-old. And I took his saying to heart. Because of the casual atmosphere and the safe space the trainer provided, I somehow permitted myself to just talk without holding back. Let's just say that when I was done barking my frustration at the trainer, one of his eyebrows was on fire.

ONE PERSON — IT'S ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE A LIFE-CHANGING DIFFERENCE

The aftermath of that evening was life-changing for me. It's like this experience has cleansed my heart.

It was the first time in my life I felt I could express myself fully without fear of criticism. I will be forever grateful for this trainer to have shown up at the poorly attended event and opened my eyes to what was going on in my heart.

Later on, as I was reliving the experience, I felt a sudden calmness in me. Only then did I realize I lived more than 40 years with an inner child running on two cylinders.

YOUR INNER CHILD IS YOUR SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND CREATION

Now, why do I go on about this inner-child business? Why do we need it in the first place? It's because your inner child is your source of inspiration. It's where creativity comes from. Have you experienced a moment where you have a problem at work?

Let's say you are an accountant and your books don't balance or you are an engineer, and you don't know how to align two parts together, and the solution comes when you are in the shower or taking a walk.

Sometimes we think the busier we are, the more productive we are. I don't think it's always the case. I think there's a lot of wisdom in taking 15 minutes break to have a good laugh and then resume your work. Now that I think of it, it's probably why the upper management keeps Todd. I know I'm a little silly right now but have you noticed in every company, there is always the goofball.

And now that I've brought Todd back. Let's look at this story from a different angle. So let's say he has the reputation of not finishing any of his projects because he's afraid of what his friends will think of him if he gets promoted.

However, deep inside, he doesn't like his job. He doesn't really like staring at his computer screen all day. What he loves doing most is talk with people.

The story of the child playing in the puddle of water is an analogy between unconsciously wasting your life or choosing to watch your life on the sideline because of fear of "what if."

Do you play to win or not to lose?

Let's say Todd goofs around because he is afraid of criticism from his friends. What goes on deeper is because he had bad grades in school his dad always told him he wasn't going to amount to anything in life. Todd grew to believe this to be true and thought for the longest time: "why bother being a high achiever." Todd chose friends that would justify that behavior.

However, Todd has now a new baby girl. And there's a sudden shift in his heart. He wants the best for his daughter. That shift, which I like to call it "taking-a-sharp-right-turn, can break the status quo.

CLARITY IS KEY TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM

You know, all of us can get what we truly desire in life. We simply need to be clear as to what we want and go for it. Then not only decide to improve but also by taking conscious action. It's important to be committed to your success, not just interested! And be willing to say no to non-supportive behaviors to go after our goals.

So Todd realizes that he wants more in life. He also realizes he left a not-so-good impression on his superiors. He can take small steps to coast correct the situation. Like what if suddenly he can finish a project? Or brings new ideas to the table. He decides to arrive a little early to work and leave a little later. He spends a little more time in the office and doesn't talk as much.

Or, he can let his boss know that since his new baby girl arrived, he is now ready for something more serious, and he would like to be in sales instead of working in the office.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEING "WRONG" —AIM JUST TO BE

An important point I should address, whatever you choose to do, there is no right or wrong. The better question to ask is whether your situation is serving you or not. Knowing where you are heading, then you can better say or discern if your inner child is controlling you or not, and is this serving you right now? And what will you do about it once it's brought to your conscious awareness?

So hopefully, you understand the importance of knowing your inner child. You see, for me, I didn't feel I was allowed to "play," like having fun or go see a movie. In short, to live!

ARE YOU STRESSED OR EXHAUSTED?

I had become a warrior. We are not meant to live like warriors. Being overstressed and exhausted doesn't bring us closer to God after we pass. When we are continually living in warrior mode, it may lead to high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.

YOU CAN NOT KEEP DOING THE SAME THING AND EXPECT DIFFERENT RESULTS

However, I felt trapped, and in that state of mind, I didn't feel to do much. It was like having a boulder on my soul. Getting my inner child out was what I needed to do to break down my old me and create new pathways.

It's only after I let my inner child go crazy, did I see changes in me. You cannot expect different results if you keep doing the same thing.

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN TO YOU?

What if you dive into your being and ask how you truly feel inside. See it from a place of curiosity and please withhold any judgment. There is no point going on about the wasted time. What matters is now!

As you ponder your life and wonder why you are not where you wish to be today, what if a part of your old programming was the root cause?

POSITIVE THOUGHTS MIXED WITH ACTION YIELD TO HAPPINESS

If you are not in a happy relationship, don't like your work, or feel stuck in an unsupportive environment, think of the small steps you could implement today that would have huge implications in the future.

At the end of the day, it all boils down to the choices you make on a daily basis.

You may have made the best choices you could until now. Something tells me that if you've come across this blog post, it means something deeper is calling you. And you have come to the right place!

Because this means you know your life can be better than what you've currently settled for. You may not be clear as to where you are heading, and this is perfectly OK. This Podcast is designed to open your horizon.

UNCOVER WHAT BLOCKS THE FLOW OF YOUR SUCCESS

Just know that not long ago, I was in your shoes. So I understand how you feel. I'm here to bring clarity.

The first thing we need to identify is your inner child because only then can we address together what is blocking the flow of your success and anything you desire to achieve in life.

LISTENING TO YOUR INNER CHILD'S NEEDS CAN BRING CLARITY TO YOUR LIFE

The key here is to reconnect with your inner child, not to eliminate it. To bring that inner child into the spotlight to identify to realize it's there. Once you know, it's there and realizes it exists; you can address what's at the inner core affecting you. What is it that inner child wants that you're not giving it?

CONCLUSION

In conclusion to this Podcast, I've described two different viewpoints on your inner child: you either stifle it or let it control you.

And they are opposite. Now the best approach is to understand that your inner child is inside you and communicate with it on a daily basis to understand its needs. It becomes a problem in your life when it's either stifled or uncontrolled.

All I'm doing is bring to you awareness for you to adjust as needed in your life. If you're like me and not paying attention to your inner child like stifling it, preventing you from enjoying your life, having a good laugh or taking a walk on Saturday afternoon, you need to revisit what you doing if you want to have more joy in your life.

Now, I get it that there are times when you are working on a certain project and certain things needs to happen and needs to finish. I'm not saying you should constantly be in your inner child.

All I'm saying is to take time to simply listen in and see what that inner child has to say to you. The problem comes when you are stifling your inner child, it may come out at the worst moment. It's like going to the bank, with a toddler. The moment you need to be most focus—yet you have this little one who suddenly has a temper tantrum. It could have happened at home before or after in the car. No, it's happening now. This is the case of an inner child that is not being...
