260: Healing Toxic Emotions, Losing 60 Pounds and The Power of Intuition with Celebrity Psychic Laura Powers

Laura Powers was born in the same part of France as one of the world’s most famous psychics: Joan of Arc. In a sense, it was her destiny to become a clairvoyant. But just like all journeys, Laura had to overcome many obstacles before finding her true path.

Having been thin all her life, at 30 years old Laura was on the edge of obesity. She had gained a ton of weight, and nothing she did was helping her lose it. She had bad skin, sleep problems, leaky gut, and PCOS. She was also unemployed and in a toxic marriage.

So how did she heal her body and transform her life to become a celebrity psychic, model, writer, actress, singer, producer and podcaster?

She listened to her intuition and connected with her guardian angels. There are angels everywhere, just waiting for you to reach out and ask for guidance. When she did, they answered. Knowing she wasn’t alone gave Laura the courage to make choices from a place of love and hope.

She transformed her diet, quitting diary, soy and wheat. Did you know gluten is one of the major factors in inflammation? And where there’s inflammation, there’s chronic disease. For Laura, this inflammation was so severe than after she quit wheat, she didn’t just lose weight, she dropped two shoe sizes! And then she discovered the she had parasites (Laura used Dr. Todd’s Microbe Formulas to get rid of these, and a huge tape worm!).

But healing has to be holistic to be complete – that means you have to go beyond diet and exercise to really heal. Take excess weight, for example. The body stores toxins in fat cells, as a way of protecting your organs from toxic damage. So if you’re in a toxic situation, or surrounded by toxic people, your body hangs on to that fat – no amount of dieting and working out will help. Until you do the inner work. When Laura left her marriage, she lost 30 pounds almost instantly.

Your emotions literally change the chemical structure of your cells with every single thought. If you don’t believe us, check out The Hidden Messages in Water. This groundbreaking work involved meditating over water, sending it either love or hate, and then taking photographs of the water molecules. The water that had been loved showed perfectly crystallized patterns. The water that had been hated was chaotic, misshapen and fragmented.

Fact: we are made up of over 80% water. So what do you think is happening to your body when you are constantly hating it, or if you’re stuck in self-doubt, or are always criticizing yourself or someone else? Or if you’re always around negative people? Exactly. That’s why it’s so important to do the inner work, and take a step back from toxic relationships. Connecting with your intuition and psychic wisdom really helps with this.

How to access psychic wisdom:

Find some quiet time and pay attention to your intuitive messages.
Don’t be afraid – you’re not trapped in any situation.
Ask angels for guidance – they’re all around, just waiting to help you.
Practice, the Universe is always trying to communicate with you. If you pay attention, you’ll notice the signs. It’s a conversation: ask!
Book a psychic reading with Laura.

On the next episode, Laura’s back to talk about ghosts, angels and manifesting! Make sure you tune in!

259: Healing Cancer Naturally Part 3 – Making Miracles with Hal Elrod

What if every day you could elevate your consciousness, and create miracles in your life? Beating cancer can seem like a miracle. But it IS possible for everyone, and Hal Elrod is proof of this.

When Hal was 20, he had a car crash and died (you read that right). He was clinically dead for 6-minutes. When he woke up from a 6-day coma, he found out he had 11 broken bones, brain damage and, according to the doctors, was never going to walk again. But he decided right then and there to maintain the faith that he was going to walk, and that he was going to do everything in his power to make it happen. Within 3 weeks of the car crash, he was taking his first steps. That marked the beginning of his life’s work. But it wasn’t an easy ride.

In 2007, Hal was in a tough spot. He’d lost half his clients, lost his house, was broke and severely depressed. So he started looking into what the world’s most successful people do, and designed a morning ritual of self-improvement. Within 2 months, he’d doubled his income, completed an ultra-marathon, overcome depression and totally changed his life. To his wife, he said “It feels like a miracle.” That’s how The Miracle Morning was born.

You might feel that you’re not a morning person – most of us feel the same! But how you begin your day will either put you in a sub-optimal physical, mental and emotional state, or an optimal one. Start your day at your best, and you can give your best in everything you do. This will reflect in every aspect of your life.

But how? You need simple, daily strategies that you can ease into. In The Miracle Morning e-book, Hal breaks down exactly what you need to do to begin uplifting your mornings – and uplifting your life.

But we’ve only told the beginning of the story.

Just 2 years ago, Hal was diagnosed with acute lymphotoxin leukemia – a rare cancer with a 30% survival rate. He also had a collapsed lung, his kidneys were failing, and his heart was surrounded with fluid. He was told he had a 70%-90% chance of dying within a few months. Going without chemo was not an option – without it, he would die within a week. After doing his research, Hal decided to have the treatment, while at the same time implementing every holistic practice he could to counter the negative effects.

And it worked! The cancer went into remission.

Hal’s cancer-healing process?

No sugar
More greens
Lots of supplements (food-based)
Acupuncture
Ozone sauna
Beamer mat
Coffee enemas
Lymphatic massage
Reading other people’s healing stories (**check the links section for ideas**)

At the core of all these individual methods, however, is mindset. You need to believe that you can beat cancer:

Unwavering faith – Faith is a loaded word these days, but faith in yourself and your limitless potential is a whole other story. Faith moves your goals from possible to probable.

Extraordinary effort – Be committed to give it everything you have, and be ready to keep going. That’s how you go from probable to inevitable.

Hal’s new book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decision That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible to Probably to Inevitable, is your process for goal achievement. It will help you step out of your comfort zone to pursue your biggest goals and dreams. Use it in conjunction with The Miracle Morning and you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

What you’ll learn in Episode 259:

How to turn your thinking around to appreciate life’s tragedies
Do cancer treatments kill cancer patients?
What chemo really is
How to heal your body from chemo
Redefining miracles and what that means for you
How to use faith and effort to achieve anything you want
Hal’s miracle mantra
How Hal has helped over a million people transform their mornings (and their lives!)

258: Cancer Warriors: Amazing Stories of Overcoming Cervical, Bladder, and Breast Cancer – Part 2

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, it feels like the end of the world. But it doesn’t have to be. Our guests didn’t just overcome cancer naturally, they used it as a platform for positive change! There’s real power in the voice of a cancer survivor (and thrive-r)!

Amanda Deming – Healing cervical cancer – Episode 8

Did you know that cervical cancer killed nearly 4,000 women last year? It’s the second most common cancer among women. Conventional treatments, like surgery, chemo and radiation, are extremely poisonous and often lead to infertility. When Amanda was diagnosed with cervical cancer, she was determined not to go down that road. Instead, she chose a raw vegan diet, meditation, and yoga. She’s now cancer-free.

Jeff Witzeman – Cancer can be killed – Episode 190

When Jeff’s wife was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer, she was told her life would change forever (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, a life without an essential organ). Instead of taking the doctor’s word for it, they traveled to Germany to treat the cancer at a spa. Thanks to juicing, a plant-based diet, hyperthermia (targeted heat therapy), oxygen therapy, intravenous vitamins, and colonics, she was completely cancer-free in just one month!

Tracey Edmonds – The truth about healing cancer – Episode 226

Just like Alli, Tracey lost both her parents to preventable diseases: her mom died from cancer and her dad from a heart attack. This made her determined to be a pillar of health and to spread the message through as many media outlets as possible. She launched the wellness website Alright Now to give people the tools they need to live their healthiest life – from nutrition and fitness to relationships and parenting. We think she rocks!

Jill Tomback – Beating breast cancer – Episodes 26, 27 and 28

Jill and I were room-mates when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer (at just 25 years old). She endured four years of conventional treatment, including chemo and surgery. But since then, she’s taken the holistic route: she’s a plant-powered Pilates superstar, an avid juicer and a big fan of the Gerson therapy. As of this year, she’s celebrating 9 years cancer-free.

Preventing Cancer Naturally With Organifi

Part of cancer prevention is giving your body the tools it needs to be in great health. That’s why we love Organifi juice powder. It’s the perfect combination of detoxifying, energizing nutrients to keep disease at bay. Alli’s personal favorite is the Organifi Gold, which contains turmeric, ginger, reishi and turkey tail mushroom to keep you calm, help you sleep and soothe your muscles. Just mix the powder with hot water or oat milk for a super creamy bedtime drink. Organifi products are completely vegan, gluten free, soy free and keto-friendly.

257: Cancer Warriors: Incredible Stories of Overcoming Ovarian, Colon, Breast, and Kidney Cancer – Part 1

Cancer. It’s the kind of diagnosis no one wants to hear. And yet, cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. For our guests, cancer was an opportunity to build up their health from the inside out. As a result, they each became a force for positive change.

Evita Ramparte – Healing ovarian cancer – Episode 57

When she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Evita made the brave decision not to have surgery, radiation or chemotherapy – against her doctor’s wishes. She knew that toxic food and toxic thinking had caused her cancer, and she was determined to heal herself. Thanks to detoxing, fasting, and a lot of inner work, she did exactly that. In just 4 months, her tumor had disappeared, she lost 50 pounds, and felt better than ever before.

Chris Wark – Beating colon cancer – Episode 236

At just 26, Chris was told he had stage 3 cancer – it started as a tumor the size of a golf ball in his colon, and spread to his lymph nodes. He was given one option: chemotherapy. But poisoning himself back to health didn’t make sense to Chris. Just like Evita, he realized he’d created his cancer through his diet choices. So he switched from a standard American diet to a 100% vegan, 100% raw diet. The cancer went away for good. Now, he teaches others how to do the same.

Janette Murray-Wakelin – Overcoming breast cancer – Episode 52

Janette was given just six months to live when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. So she decided to use that time to change her life completely. Instead of accepting the chemo, she took the holistic approach: she went 100% raw vegan, oxygenated her blood, and started loving herself. After all, how can you heal yourself unless you love yourself first? Within 6 months, Janette was cancer-free. And as if that wasn’t amazing enough, she then ran a marathon, every day, for 366 consecutive days. We think she’s pretty incredible!

Jolen Philbrook – Healing breast cancer and kidney cancer – Episode 193

When it comes to surviving, Jolen’s an expert! She overcame cancer twice – first a rare type of breast cancer, then kidney cancer. At the same time, she was fighting a custody battle with no income. Most people would crumble under that kind of pressure, but Jolen pulled through. How? It all comes down to mindset. And power shoes (of course).

Preventing Cancer Naturally With Organifi Juice Powder

Part of cancer prevention is giving your body the tools it needs to be in great health. That’s why we love Organifi juice powder. It’s the perfect combination of detoxifying and energizing nutrients to keep disease at bay.

In today’s episode, Dr. Roy answers Food Heals Nation’s questions on health, healing, and cancer.

Dr. Roy specializes in cancer prevention and reversal. But he doesn’t do it in the traditional way. He combines his background as a Buddhist, western medical training, in-depth research into alternative healing, mental health therapies and meditation into the House of Health, a scientifically backed-up system you can use to heal yourself.

#1. How do you know if you have physical/emotional/spiritual issues you need to deal with?

Look at your present life. How are things going? If they’re not going well, there’s something you need to look at. In Dr. Roy’s book, Healing Before You’re Cured, you’ll find 10 questions to help you figure out what is going on, and strategies to help you address whatever comes up. You can also tune into Episode 255, where Dr. Roy shares some simple strategies to quickly release negative emotions.

#2. How can we deal with chronic stress?

Chronic stress can lead to disease. And we are constantly stressed these days with all the demands we have to deal with – work, social media, expectations. But what is disease? It’s a state of not having ease.

We need to get out of chronic stress into a state of ease. But how? Simple. Inhale, tense your body completely, and double exhale. Do it three times. Your body will automatically respond to the physical tensing by relaxing.

Here’s another strategy. In your brain, the limbic system deals with fight of flight – when you’re stressed, it sends a signal to your adrenal glands to release epinephrine, which in turn causes a physical reaction. It’s important to get out of that part of your brain, otherwise you carry on the stress response throughout the day, or longer.

Here’s how you shift to another part of your brain:

Close your eyes and picture the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen.
Inhale that picture into your brain.
Exhale.
Smell the most beautiful thing you’ve ever smelt.
Inhale that smell.
Exhale.

This exercise connects you to something that is beautiful to you. These memories are in the cortex part of your brain. You cannot focus on two parts of your brain at the same time. By getting into the cortex, you move out of the limbic, and therefore out of that feeling of stress. You shut down the stress response and connect with peace.

#3. Where do you start after a cancer diagnosis?

First, don’t choose one or the other. You have both eastern and western methodologies at your disposal. Eastern medicine is over 7000 years old, and deals with the mental, emotional and spiritual side. Western medicine deals with technology and drugs, and has billions of dollars’ worth of research behind it.

Dr. Roy’s advice? Do both!

Second, stop thinking about death. In life, nobody makes it out alive, cancer or no cancer. No one lives forever. Take death off the plate, and focus instead on how you want this to go.

Finally, take ownership. This is your life. Make a decision and get on with it.

With these three steps, you’re in a solid place to move forward. Things will start to come to you, depending on what you need to heal on your journey.

#4. How can we help people who don’t want to hear about the holistic part of healing?

You can’t treat someone who doesn’t want to be treated. You can’t fix someone. If you want to help, you have to first respect that person’s needs.

Instead of telling them what you think is right, ask them what they need or want to know right now. Don’t be afraid to get vulnerable and share how important it is to you. But accept that they might not want your help or your advice. For healing to take place, there has to be free will, that person has to want to heal. Pushing information on them will only build resentment. Accept where they are, lead by example and stay hopeful – because sometimes people change their minds.

If you want to know more, pick up Dr. Roy’s new book Healing Before You’re Cured, which is packed with simple evidence-based techniques you can use to heal the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual areas of your life. You can also sign up to Dr. Roy’s free email course by texting HEAL to 345345 or going to www.drvmd.com.

What you’ll learn in Episode 256:

How to instantly go from stressed to calm
One practice to re-wire your brain out of fight or flight
Why it’s better to keep some things to yourself
The beauty of “and”
Where to start if you get diagnosed with cancer
How to blend east and west for the best healing potential
How to help people heal when they don’t want to hear it

Very few guests get us as excited as Dr. Roy Vongtama. He’s doing the kind of work Alli wishes she’d known about when her parents were diagnosed with cancer. But back then, she lived in a small town with no access to green juices, no meditation studios, and no understanding of the emotional component in disease or the power of the body to heal itself.

The connection between trauma and cancer is not spiritual la la land. It is scientifically proven. Take ACES, the Adverse Childhood Experience Study. Scientists found that people who had experienced just one emotional trauma were at higher risk of disease (and actually doubled their risk of cancer).

And it isn’t just trauma. The way you think and feel everyday can suppress your genes, so the emotions can’t leave your body; it stays trapped within your cells. When you keep resentment, for example (“This shouldn’t have happened”) trapped within you, it eventually turns to anger – then rage. And rage is destructive. Exactly like cancer, it destroys everything in its path, including its own home (your body).

Do you have rage trapped in your body? Dr. Roy offers 3 questions to help you figure that out:

How is your relationship with your parents?
How are your current relationships?
Have you ever experienced abuse?

Go to www.MDRoy.com to get a full list of questions. If you fit the criteria, you may need to address the issue. Because here’s the thing. To overcome this, you have to own it. You have to express it. You have to accept it. Only THEN can you do something about it.

Who is Dr. Roy? He grew up as the son of two doctors, and was trained in western medicine. He soon noticed that many of his cancer patients were struggling with unexpressed emotions and past trauma. This spurred him on to go deeper into the research and discover what causes cancer in the first place, and what we can do to heal ourselves. Diet is important, but that’s just one small part of it. Health is physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. That means healing needs to involve all those aspects. His book Healing Before You’re Cured is the result of his research: evidence-based strategies to help you heal all parts of your life.

Try getting rid of your trapped emotions by following Dr. Roy’s Burn Page practice (similar to Alli’s Write and Burn process).

Go to a quiet room (no phone).
Write whatever comes to mind, for 30 minutes. Get everything out of your system so that it also gets out of your body. Feel like something is “too stupid” to write? Just keep going and deeper stuff will come to the surface.
Tear up the pages.
Experience the transformative power as you get rid of trapped negativity and reconnecting with peace. It might be painful to begin with, but change happens when the pain happens. You have to feel these emotions in order to heal them.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR FOOD HEALS NATION

Text “HEAL” to 345345 and Dr. Roy will send you everything you need to discover how healthy you are, what’s missing, and what you can do to heal. You can also sign up to his free email course by going to royvmd.com.

Make sure you tune in for Part Two, because Dr. Roy will be answering your questions and sharing everything you need to know about how to heal yourself.

The link between medication and cancer
Can disease be caused by emotions?

Part 2 of our Overcoming Anxiety Series welcomes three amazing people who have a lot of expertise to share about this topic. And keep reading…because all three guests have special gifts to offer Food Heals Nation!

Whitney Lauritsen does a lot of work in the wellness world. Her brand EcoVeganGal helps people go plant-based and be more eco-conscious. She also runs the wellness coaching business Wellevatr with Jason Wrobel.

Whitney struggled with depression throughout college. For her, overcoming anxiety and depression is an ongoing process. Whenever she feels those emotions, she looks for the opportunity to go within. It’s about slowing down and trying to identify the source of those feelings. Even if you don’t know their root, just giving yourself some space can help lift you out of a sad mood.

Melissa Glazewski is a private plant-based chef, helping people to eat healthier and thrive. She’s the founder of ForkinPlants.com. Growing up with alcoholic parents meant Melissa had a lot of anxiety and depression issues. The pharmaceuticals she was prescribed just made her worse. So she quit them and went down the holistic route, using herbal remedies, diet and meditation to improve her mood. The best supplement she’s found is ashwagandha, an adaptogen that helps your body adapt to and deal with stress. We love Four Sigmatic’s instant coffee with added ashwagandha (coffee without the jitters!).

Whitney & Melissa tips to overcome anxiety and depression:

Accept where you are (and it will pass).
Shine a light on your light – Ask a friend to say something positive about you, read out positive affirmations, have positive conversations.
Surround yourself with your tribe – You are the epitome of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Choose your friends wisely! Call people who are uplifting, who will listen, who light you up. Be conscious about who you reach out to, especially when you’re feeling low.
Don’t wallow – Are you choosing to feel down because it is more comfortable and familiar? Be committed to feeling better. You can empower yourself and decide you are going to take your mental health into your own hands. When you do that, anything you do to lift your mood will be doubly powerful, and you will begin to see results fast.
Eat clean – Your gut is your second brain. If it’s not right, how can you expect your brain to function properly? If you’re feeling anxious or depressed, it could be diet related.
Meditate (every day) – This can be a tough one, especially if you have a naturally active mind. That’s where Alli’s Write & Burn process can really help.

How to overcome anxiety with write & burn:

Make sure you’re alone.
Grab some loose-leaf paper.
Write down “I am angry/sad/depressed because ….” Pour everything out onto that page. It could be that person who cut you up on the road, or something deeper. Do this to bring out all the feelings – freeing your body from those stuck emotions in the process.
Once you’re done, it’s time to burn the pages (or rip them up) and get rid of that energy.
Feel the emotional release. This is the perfect time to meditate because your mind will be clear.

Have you inherited your anxiety from your ancestors?

We all carry energy from our ancestors. It can be great energy, but it can also energy that holds us back. Lisa Thomas is a DNA energy healer. She helps clients clear inherited patterns and release the anxiety tags that keep them from thriving. Lisa had a lot of anxiety and depression because she didn’t own who she was. When we don’t fully accept who we are, it triggers anxiety. Anxiety also shows up when we need to be in control. Check out Episode 215 for Lisa’s story.

Lisa’s steps to overcome anxiety and depression:

Count to 12 – Say each number, pause and take a breath. The number 12 is a balancing number. It connects you to your heart. This practice allows you to pause enough to get connected to your body.
Lay the palm of your hand flat on the top of your head – Close your hand so it pulls a handful of hair. Pulse it so that it lifts the hair at the root. This tells your body to get back into connection with your spirit. For men, use the knuckles of your dominant hand to tap along the top of your head.
Heaven and Earth exercise – This practice will bring you back to center. Reach up with your right hand, open and close your hand, and as you pull down your arm, imagine you are pulling Heaven’s energy down through the top of your head. Stop at your heart space. With both arms and with your hands open, scoop up the energy of Mother Earth through the bottom of your feet, all the way up to your heart, where it mixes with Heaven’s energy. Imagine this combined energy is coming up the front of your body, around your head and down your back.

If you want to go deeper and clear inherited anxiety, get in touch with Lisa. Alli works with her and loves it.

Another Way To Beat Anxiety – Sunday Scaries’ CBD Gummies!

Before becoming a CBD entrepreneur, Beau owned a bar with his friend Mike. They were always on the clock, always on the go – it was a high stress lifestyle which, unsurprisingly, created a lot of anxiety. They wanted something to help them deal with it naturally, so they began trying CBD. It worked, but the products were unpleasant to take, impractical or messy. So they decided to create something that made CBD accessible, tasty, and easy to take.

Sunday Scaries was born. Its mission? To make the world a better place one gummy at a time.

NOTE: CBD will not get you high. It contains medicinal compounds that reduce inflammation, nausea, pain and anxiety. CBD is an adaptogenic, which means that it helps the body heal itself. It’s completely safe and non-toxic, something that the World Health Organization has now confirmed. What makes Sunday Scaries even better is that they’re infused with high quality CBD from Colorado, which means added vitamins like D3 and B12 (we love the Vegan AF ones!).

Over 40 million Americans are affected by anxiety – that’s around 20% of the population. Whether it’s relationship anxiety, workplace anxiety, social media anxiety or general anxiety, it has the power to zap your quality of life. So, what can we do about it?

According to empowerment strategist, fitness expert, author and podcast host JJ Flizanes, we’ve been dealing with it all wrong. Pharmaceuticals are not the solution. The first step to overcoming anxiety is to transform how we think about it.

We go through hundreds of emotions every single day. Unless these are properly processed, they remain stuck in the body, eventually creating discomfort, disease, and, you guessed it, anxiety. Anxiety is basically the body’s way of telling you something needs to be addressed. Looking at anxiety the JJ way gives you more tools with which you can address the root cause of the problem. And if you get to the root, you can stop it from happening.

JJ’s 3-step anxiety-busting process:

Identify your feelings – go deep. Download JJ’s Feelings and Needs list, look at the 100 words on there and compile a list of how you feel.
Understand what need isn’t being met. Anytime you have a negative emotion, it’s because you have a need that is not being met. Figure out what that is so you can start healing it.
List or come up with strategies to get your needs met, without forcing anyone else to change who they are. It cannot be about anyone else but you. How can you address your needs for yourself? Check out Episode 118 of JJ’s Spirit Purpose & Energy podcast for 3 steps to effective communication.

CBD – The Anxiety Antidote

Inner work goes a long way to helping you combat anxiety. Another thing you can do? Add anxiety-busting supplements, like CBD, to your routine.

Beau’s tips to overcome anxiety:

5-minute journal in the morning – Write down 3 things you’re grateful for, 3 things that will make the day great, and 2 affirmations for the day.
5-minute journal at night: – 3 things that were amazing today, 3 ways you could have improved the day, and how you can set yourself up for success the next day.
Meditate in the morning (and some form of exercise).
NO social media or email first thing in the morning.
Anxiety can’t exist when you’re grateful. If you start feeling anxious, stop and take a moment to think about the 3 things you’re grateful for.

This special episode comes to you from Puerto Rico Mastermind, where Alli met some amazing womenpreneurs whose businesses are making a positive impact on the world. Want to start a podcast? Need a new level of inspiration? Coming to this event is one of the most impactful things you can do!

Now, let’s get to know these three incredible ladies:

Gena: Holistic Dentistry

Mercury fillings are implicated in the development of all sorts of diseases, like diabetes and Alzheimer’s. Women exposed to them have a higher risk of having a child with ADHD and neurological issues. Dr. Gena Schultheis used to be a traditional dentist, prescribing mercury fillings. Now, she takes them out and helps people back to health through detoxing, a healthy diet and holistic dentistry.

How can you detox from mercury? You have to go beyond diet, because mercury embeds itself in organs and is hard to get rid of. Chelation, saunas, Epsom salts, detoxifying supplements, chlorella and cilantro are all good options – the best thing is to work with a practitioner who will give you a personalized protocol. To find a holistic dentist, check out the Holistic Dental Association, or the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.

Why Gena loves Puerto Rico Mastermind

Learning from one another and working together to turn the world into a collaborative supportive place.

Sue: Co-creation as a key to success

Sue Dyer is president of OrgMetrics LLC. When she started working in construction, there was no spirit of collaboration – at her first meeting there was a fist fight in the bathroom! But for the last 40 years, Sue has been changing the culture of construction from combative to collaborative. Because let’s face it, we can achieve much more when we work together. In fact, you can be 40% more successful when you collaborate.

Why Sue loves Puerto Rico Mastermind

Co-creation is what you need to level up in every aspect of your life. That’s why masterminds work. When you collaborate and co-create, you’re accessing a collective wisdom that you don’t connect with on your own.

Dorothy: Your success helps the world

Dorothy Illson helps her clients bust through limiting beliefs about money, increase their income, and maximize their impact. Many of us feel shame about wanting to be successful and make money. But there shouldn’t be shame in that – the more abundance you create in your life, the more leverage you have to make an impact on the world.

The desire to make money and to make a positive difference are not opposing ambitions. You need one to achieve the other. If you’re miserable and struggling financially, you don’t have the emotional space or time to go out and make an impact in the world. Dorothy promotes for-purpose businesses, where giving back is built into the business model. This is something consumers are already beginning to demand – they want to buy from a brand that makes the world a better place.

We love her podcast Do Well and Do Good.

Why Dorothy Loves Puerto Rico Mastermind

Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and authentic. That’s the most powerful thing you can do.

Bonus Travel Tip

Alli’s must-have when traveling is Organifi green juice powder. This was a life-saver in Puerto Rico.

When you travel, you don’t know where the next juice bar will be. Or if there’s a Whole Foods. Or if there will even BE any healthy options. But with jet lag, travel stress, and lack of sleep, you need to give your body as many nutrients as possible to stay well and make the most of your time.

Organifi is a detoxifying blend herbs and vegetables like chlorella, moringa, spirulina, mint, beets, matcha, wheatgrass, ashwagandha, turmeric, coconut water and more. Perfect for jumpstarting your energy… and kicking those wine hangovers to the curb. Food Heals Nation listeners get 20% off their first order with coupon code foodheals.
