Looking for ways to grow and flow without burning out? Then this episode is just for you.

A breakdown of this episode:

00:00 Teaching is your responsibility as a facilitator and implementing is your student’s responsibility as the shapeshifter 

04:36 Avoiding burnout is about balancing how the industry changes while being rooted in your values and non-negotiables 

14:33 Mastering your mindset resolves 90% of all business problems. Encourage self-awareness and prioritize fulfillment.

18:08 Activating embodiment means we need to release the stories of the past and drop into the present without trying to change it.

20:15 Embrace your progress and aim for sustainable and consistent business growth without needing breaks.


Words to live by:

“The only reason why I&apos;ve been able to actually keep going flowing and growing with my business is because I simply do not make my clients’ results my responsibility.”

“Everybody wants to be the teacher, but nobody wants to be the student. And the truth is, you have to be both. You have to be able to continue to learn in real-time and be the student of life.”

JOE DISPENZA</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[Today’s episode of Waking Up With Melissa dives deep into the profound insights and spiritual awakenings I experienced during a seven-day meditation retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza. This experience has transformed my perspective on life and manifestation, and I believe it can do the same for you. Let’s dive right in:

A BREAKDOWN OF THIS EPISODE 

[00:00:00] Trace back thoughts, change feelings for happiness.

[00:07:19] Intentional practice for transformative spiritual wellness routine.

[00:12:11] Reflect on the past, live in the present.

[00:17:50] Activating the Third eye’s vision

[00:23:53] Focusing on goals and intention.

Words to Live By:

“In order for anything to appear, it must be set in motion from the void that signals a thought, and those thoughts carry an emotional current.”

"I visualize, and I set my intention so clearly on that goal, because I know that it is the seed to the manifestation. The actual manifestation, the materialization of the thing that I want, actually cannot happen unless I have intention."

"The slower that frequency gets, the slower and heavier that density gets, and the more space you create between where you are now and your relationship to God's source universe."

As we walk through memory lane I share the setbacks and challenges of building my business in a #tinyhome and recording this podcast in my car. However, what was birthed through that experience was pure resilience, strength and the heart of a lion. Tune into this special episode and find out what it truly took to record 100 episodes of an established podcast

A BREAKDOWN OF THIS EPISODE

the 3 reasons why it’s so hard to be consistent 
what happens when we become conditional beings
releasing the illusion that things are better over there 
rewiring our mindset to alchemize instant gratification 

Words to live by:

There is never a time where it will be all done. The key to consistency is realizing it’s a way of living. There is no end goal, there&#39;s only the person you become along the way.

It’s hard to be consistent when you’re entertaining other timelines. You have to get to place where you realize that the magic is happening in the now present moment

the fastest way to guarantee tomorrow is by making decisions today

“When you find the thing you're supposed to do, you suddenly gain unlimited access to energy.”

&quot;Pivoting is not a weakness. Pivoting is not failure. Pivoting is power.&quot;

&quot;We are all one. And when we remember that, our differences become our strengths.&quot;

&quot;You cannot heal what you refuse to feel.&quot;

I also share about how I went sober and became a full-time devotee of yoga, meditation, and plant-based wellness, which transformed my mind and spirit. Tune in to this episode and explore the power of self-awareness and personal transformation.

A BREAKDOWN OF THIS EPISODE

[04:01] Prioritizing healing over everything else, using parts work
[12:20] Self-compassion that leads to self-acceptance
[05:32] Sound healing and affirmations
[08:40] Becoming a true student of life
[17:21] Getting to know ourselves deeply

Words to live by:


“We forget that nature is God. Nature is in perfect harmony and a true reflection of who we are.”

“Remind yourself that going inward and being in our seclusion is a vital part of the growth process. The same way the seed needs to plant itself in the dark soil to lay its roots, is the same way we’re being asked to travel deep within our being. The deeper the roots, the taller we grow.”

So if you're the type of person who has heard of abundant and lack mindsets but struggles to grasp how to cultivate an abundant mindset, you're in luck. This episode is going to give you full permission to unleash your inner abundance. Let's get right into it.

A BREAKDOWN OF THIS EPISODE

[02:11] Discovering poverty consciousness
[06:43] Upgrading your system through self-reflection
[11:33] Overcoming ingrained beliefs and following inner knowing to achieve success
[19:14] Letting go of the scarcity mindset and trusting the universe
[23:59] Training your mind to see the silver lining for faster results

Words to live by:

“Poverty consciousness is teaching us what's active within our vibration, not punishing us. This is an opportunity to take a deeper look into our system and get curious about how we alchemize a frequency that no longer is serving us.

“We are our own healers. We are the master creators of our life. And the sooner we come to realize that, the sooner we can release trapped energy in our body. Remember the practice takes time and it’s through ritual and discipline that you will notice the true effects of a calm mind.”

“If you're living through that abundant mindset, if you're living through the overflow and the overpour, then you simply understand that there's always more and that you don't have to work hard to get it.”

Being your true self is the sweetest experience as a human, regardless of external markers of success. Discover how shedding layers of self-worth, judgment, and right versus wrong thinking is a continual unlayering process towards our authentic selves. Join us as we delve into the process of shifting our perspectives and embracing our true identities.

[14:40] Embracing your true self
[20:19] Taking responsibility instead of blaming others
[40:19] Creating something reflective of the true self
[45:05] Embracing change and authenticity

➳ Words to live by:

“Decide to take responsibility for your life, shift your perspective and become a conscious creator of positive outcomes."

“Remember, we are both the human and the being. The human is the dense part of us that’s connected to this physical reality while the being is the quantum part of us that’s connected to the totality of the Universe

“Forge your own path, don't be afraid to let go of societal conditioning, and step into who you really are. “

It’s an elevated, expanded energy that takes the “I” out of what we do and brings it back to “we” the collective.
 A BREAKDOWN OF THIS EPISODE
New Earth Abundance: is reminding us that abundance is not just physical money it’s a frequency that’s free 
New Earth Entrepreneurship: is inviting us to look at the bigger picture and ask how is this beneficial for the Earth?
New Earth Leadership: is activating our truth, our story and the ability to be a walking testimony of our work


Words to live by:

New Earth abundance is requiring us to feel #soulrich first and work with the energy of it before we see the manifestation of it

you don’t need to wait your turn
you don’t need to earn your way in
you don’t need patience either 
instead show up to your desires 
like God sent you....
As our capacity to hold deeper conversations expand so does our leadership 
don’t measure “success” on someone else’s measuring stick create your own

don’t focus on promises, blueprints, guarantees 
or manipulating marketing instead lead by the example of your actions

But in the process of rebirth, in which we choose a brand new spiritual path for ourselves, we must be ready to embrace the phase which precedes new life: death. The whole world is experiencing transition collectively, globally. We’re even in a new astrological new year! To prepare yourself for the road ahead, listen in as I run through five steps you need to take in order to navigate times of transition!

[07:45] Know what’s working and not working in your life
[09:15] Disrupting unhealthy and unproductive patterns
[14:49] Allowing the old parts of you to disrupt
[20:17] Flowing into your future self
[24:20] Training your ears to listen to the whispers of the Universe

Words to live by:

“It’s not about scaling or money, really. It’s about being with and giving to people, to our community. It’s about helping others activate their quantum selves.”

“Taking actions is great. But sometimes, the best thing we can do is embrace solitude.”

“If we desire something, but what we ultimately acquire or experience doesn’t live up to our intention, then it’s time to home in on what’s not working when it comes to your mental game.”

[20:21] Growing up with immigrant parents as an entrepreneur
[31:31] Being the first in your family to heal from generational trauma

Words to live by:

“Social media isn’t bad on its own, but if you have a people-pleasing problem, it only gets amplified online!”

“The most powerful medicine is to walk the talk and not just rely on reading books and listening to podcasts or going through programs. How you show up and the rings of fire you go through is what truly defines you. “

“The transformation has to be internal, and it has to feel good!

Raised by Korean immigrants, she knows exactly what it’s like to feel shackled by cultural and societal expectations. As a recovered PTSD survivor with generalized anxiety disorder, Amy coaches young people through comprehensive trauma-informed education, practical strategy, and spiritual energetics to guide them to become the most empowered, joyful versions of themselves.

Soul entrepreneurship, to me, is the value that we bring to the world upon the merging of our passion and our calling. It’s something we can only discover while walking our spiritual path, actively seeking inward experiences. Listen in as I break down the four steps to starting your very own spiritual business!

What to watch for:
-[00:36] Defining “spiritual entrepreneurship”

-[05:12] How a spiritual business differs from a regular business

-[07:12] Picking your niche

Words to live by:

“If you think starting your business is expensive wait until you see the cost of not starting sooner.”

“If you’re not making money in your business and you’re slaving away making content chances are you’re not inviting people into working with you.”

“Celebrating yourselves is an act of self-love. It is the revolution that we get to say, “Yeah I did that and I’m so proud of myself.”

FOR OUR
OFFERINGS&quot;</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[In this episode of Waking Up With Melissa Ruiz, I cover the importance of releasing shame when it comes to charging for your offerings. I share three questions to ask yourself, which will help shed light on why spiritual BIPOC entrepreneurs should never hesitate to charge whatever we want to charge for access to our innate wisdom.

What to watch for:
-[01:09] Getting used to charging high prices for your offerings

-[12:55] Where am I now?

-[13:29] Where do I want to be and how will I get there?

-[15:05] What beliefs am I holding that are keeping me from my desires?

-[21:07] Do not give up your power just because you are afraid of other people’s opinions

Words to live by:

Let’s take a moment to honor the parts of us that are exactly where they are; but, let us also embrace our desire for more.

Remember, where you are now is just as important as your end-goal, because once we can take a step back and objectively reflect on the present, we can strategize for the future.

As long as our decisions are in alignment with our body, mind, and spirit, we’re always going to be on the right track.

While both are important, the vast majority of people put most (if not all) of their focus on a potential client’s monetary return on investment. This can result in working with a lot of folks that you just don’t jive with, where personalities clash. With clients like these, you ultimately end up wasting time and money anyway!

What to watch for:
-[01:02] What does it mean to “energetically” qualify your client?

-[04:37] Three steps to determining whether you’ve found your soulmate client

-[12:26] Questions to ask potential clients to see if they’re the perfect fit

-[16:42] What does it really mean to have a “soul” business?

-[21:43] How to live your passion and mission while thriving financially

Words to live by:

Finding your soulmate client requires you to understand their energetic imprint, and whether your own energetic imprint jives with theirs. 

Take the conversation further. Just because they got on a call with you doesn’t mean they’re your soulmate client.

Your mental, emotional, and spiritual stability matters. But so does your financial stability. As long as we live on this Earth, all of these foundations matter.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode of Waking Up With Melissa Ruiz, I discuss how to qualify your soulmate client energetically, and how this differs from qualifying them financially. While both are important, the vast majority of people put most (if not all) of their focus on a potential client’s monetary return on investment. This can result in working with a lot of folks that you just don’t jive with, where personalities clash. With clients like these, you ultimately end up wasting time and money anyway!

What to watch for:
-[01:02] What does it mean to “energetically” qualify your client?

-[04:37] Three steps to determining whether you’ve found your soulmate client

-[12:26] Questions to ask potential clients to see if they’re the perfect fit

-[16:42] What does it really mean to have a “soul” business?

-[21:43] How to live your passion and mission while thriving financially

Words to live by:

Finding your soulmate client requires you to understand their energetic imprint, and whether your own energetic imprint jives with theirs. 

Take the conversation further. Just because they got on a call with you doesn’t mean they’re your soulmate client.

Your mental, emotional, and spiritual stability matters. But so does your financial stability. As long as we live on this Earth, all of these foundations matter.

This is probably the most important quarter of the fiscal year, because it is the best time to set goals and put a strategy in place to kickstart the following year with a bang. Unfortunately, this just so happens to be the time when everyone begins to slow down and take off their business hats for longer periods. (It’s the holiday season, after all.) Listen: I make more money in the biggest quarter of the year than any other quarter of the year! How is this possible? Tune in and find out!

What to watch for:
-[03:40] Keeping your business growing while integrating self-care into your life

-[09:26] Why pre-sell everything during Q4 2022

-[12:05] Bundle your favorite offers together

-[14:15] Steer clear of the comparison trap

-[19:44] An inside look into Melissa’s Q4 2022 launch strategy

Words to live by:
"The more people you impact, the better chances you have of those people being nurtured into your future offerings."

"People don't really care about the start date. People care about who they connect with and whether or not that person  can provide true value to them."

"It's okay that we desire more  but, it’s best if  we honor where we're at now while working towards the future  without shaming or bullying ourself"

</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[In this episode of Waking Up With Melissa Ruiz, I dive into activating and igniting your cosmic baddie energy within your business, transforming it in a radical way. I touch on product suite, crafting your offers, and why I believe that scaling your business always relies on focusing on one thing at a time.

What to watch for:
-[00:49] Tapping into your Quantum You

-[02:32] Why we can’t skip negative emotions on our journey of expansion

-[08:05] Setting your signature offer apart from the competition

-[13:35] Becoming the first in your market

-[17:40] Finding and activating your signature voice

-[24:12] Releasing fears of criticism and living life on your own terms

Words to live by:
"Bless the parts that are uncomfortable because those are the moments in which you grow."

"By embodying your cosmic baddie, you realize that you don’t need to start with a suite. You just start with one."

"Be open to feedback, of course, but don’t let what other people think of you become more important than what you think of you!"

-What exactly is the Maltyox Method and what does it means

-Cacao sacred and divine properties and how they work.

-A Child of Magic, the journey of Lana Livia rediscovering her natural born magic.

Words to live by:
"Making space to live our lives the way we want to."

"Connecting with your ancestors and lineage through plant medicine."

"Activating, connecting with, and becoming your most joyful self through the transformative power of gratitude." 👇🏽

What to watch for:
-Stop making the destination difficult.
-Looking at where our business is at and restructuring it.

Humans, this is going to be a juicy episode so stay all the way to the end.

What to watch for:
-Releasing the need to shame others who have a different perspective

-Reminding ourselves we are always the student and there's always room to learn

-Letting go of the parts of ourselves that had to die in order to become the versions we are today
Words to live by:

“When we get attached to our individual experience, that’s when we get caught up in the spiritual ego.”

“The more we expand as a collective human race, the more consciousness expands, too.”

-Reminding ourselves we are always the student and there's always room to learn

-Letting go of the parts of ourselves that had to die in order to become the versions we are today
Words to live by:

“When we get attached to our individual experience, that’s when we get caught up in the spiritual ego.”

“The more we expand as a collective human race, the more consciousness expands, too.”

We’ll be talking all about being a healer and a channel for the divine while running a business.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>What to watch for:</strong></em></p>
<p>-Letting go of limiting beliefs about our spirituality.<br>
-Tuning into energetic potential.<br>
-Embracing your vibrations and awakening process.<br>
-Feeling into the essence of the energy that we want to calibrate.</p>
<p><em><strong>Words to live by:</strong></em></p>
<p>“Everything is energy - sound, light, and matter are materializations of God Source Consciousness.”<br>
“We create our own reality with our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions.”<br>
“Unconditional love and abundance are the only real eternal truths. Everything outside of that is an illusion.”<br>
“In experiencing the euphoric, orgasmic, and unconditional love of Source God, I knew it was a part of my soul's plan to return to the Earth plane as a beacon of light and guardian of truth.”</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to watch for:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Making sure that the human behind the business feels supported.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Recognizing the kind of freedom this business gives me.&lt;br&gt;
-Setting boundaries in order to gain more balance.&lt;br&gt;
-Understanding that less is more.&lt;br&gt;
-Prioritizing the type of freedom that we really seek.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Words to live by:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It’s very easy to work and overwork yourself, specially in business. You should know that even the things you love in your life need balance.”&lt;br&gt;
“Take a step back from all of the things that you are doing and ask, ‘does my business feel balanced?’”&lt;br&gt;
“This shift is about less bring more. While doing less, we get more narrow and focused into the things that we really want and this actually gives you more.”&lt;br&gt;
“Don’t forget you are human with a lot of desires – you may want to build a business in a certain kind of way. Don’t forget about your freedom in the process.”&lt;/p&gt;

We’ll be talking all about our entrepreneurial lives and sharing our own transformational journeys. Join us as we drop some gems about being an entrepreneur in the online space.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to watch for:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Ego deaths and navigating entrepreneurship.&lt;br&gt;
-Leaping into the unknown while being on the road for 14 months.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Redefining what success and failure mean to us.&lt;br&gt;
-Knowing yourself and your core pillars.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Words to live by:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m holding on to these versions of who I think I am, but what would happen if I let go?”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The deeper we can go into ourselves, the deeper we get to know the Self.”&lt;br&gt;
“We are not afraid of rejection; we are scared of what rejection might mean about us.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Despite what you’ve gone through, you’ve always been okay – you are okay now, and you have to trust and know that you’ll always be okay.”&lt;/p&gt;

In this new episode, Melissa covers the relationship we have not only with money, but also with our nervous system, our body. Join us while we dive deep into the different levels this relationship can have.

What to watch for:

-Feeling safe around money.

-Tuning into the energetics of money.

-Recognizing that we are the place where money originates.

-The energetic exchange that exists in every transaction.

-Letting the energy currency flow.

Words to live by:

“We can’t want money and also feel like we hate it.”

“Most people aren’t used to having that overflow and that abundant state of being. Because we live in a society that thrives on a lack mentality.”

“There are levels to money, just making it is not enough. We have to be able to look at all the different components.”

“I get blessed, you get blessed, they get blessed. That’s how money works.”

“There are levels to money, just making it is not enough. We have to be able to look at all the different components.”

In this new episode, Melissa covers the relationship we have not only with money, but also with our nervous system, our body. Join us while we dive deep into the different levels this relationship can have.

What to watch for:

-Feeling safe around money.

-Tuning into the energetics of money.

-Recognizing that we are the place where money originates.

-The energetic exchange that exists in every transaction.

-Letting the energy currency flow.

Words to live by:

“We can’t want money and also feel like we hate it.”

“Most people aren’t used to having that overflow and that abundant state of being. Because we live in a society that thrives on a lack mentality.”

“There are levels to money, just making it is not enough. We have to be able to look at all the different components.”

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;What to watch for&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Finding universal truths&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The world as it is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Transits happening now (and what it means)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Destiny vs creating our own reality&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roles and what we have to unlearn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Words to live by:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Astrology is acceptance for all”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Let&apos;s normalize getting new information and adjusting our values”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Abundance belongs to all of us”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Start figuring out the ways it WILL work out”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode I am joined by distant healer, Jenna Sophia who’s helped hundreds of people heal with their subconscious mind. We dive into distant healing - everything is energy. Jenna is able to send energy in such a way to connect people to their best and highest self.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to watch for&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the subconscious mind?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hidden manipulation from life&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to reprogram your emotions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Healing yourself naturally&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Going plant based&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Handling trauma and limiting beliefs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Words to live by:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our genes don’t create our reality&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;come back to yourself, because it’s always in alignment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You might need guidance to direct you where you want to go, but you’re walking there yourself&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Explore different potentials&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
