Everyone can relate to grief right now – with COVID and lost jobs and political turmoil and and and… there is so much to grieve it can be overwhelming. But if you are able to transmute your grief into power, it can literally be life changing. Grief is one of the most powerful emotions in the spectrum, so being able to actively harness it and make that shit into fertilizer can truly change everything for you. There is power in that deep emotion. There is power in your pain, sister. And we are here as your sisters to witness you wielding it.

In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I’m fortunate to be joined by Sara Chizek, a Grief and Sensuality Coach who empowers women to harness the energy of grief, anger, stuckness and turn this energy into joy, pleasure and power to unlock their desires. Sara shares with us how losing her father at the age of 4 lead her to do some serious questioning of her beliefs in her adulthood. She has harnessed her grief and used it to power for goodness in her life.

In this episode, Sara and I discuss the following:

• How so much of what you may be seeking to numb – consciously or subconsciously – is much more nurture than nature.
• The common source of our need for validation.
• How emotions are stored physically in the body, and how this has an impact on our overall health.
• How grief is actually useful data for us.
• How most people are afraid of facing grief since they believe that if they “go there” they won't be able to make it back.
• Sara leads us through a practice on grief, one that is powerful and transformative that I know you will find useful.

You can learn more about Sara's work on her official web page (https://sarachizek.com/). You can also follow her on Instagram (@thesarachizek) and facebook (@sara.chizek). Last but not least, don't forget to check out “Grieve and Glow”, her 10-week group program to make grief your superpower and reclaim your sensual radiance, beginning in February 2021.

Here’s a super juicy episode that empowers you to start and/or grow your purpose business. Today, I’m pulling back the lace curtain and sharing with you all the details of MY purpose business – money, clients, impact, all of it. I want to help you connect with what is possible for you, your business, and your purpose in the year 2021.

If you’re scared to start uncovering and understanding your purpose because you think you won’t make any money, that you’ll fail, that the world will end (or any other story we all tell ourselves!) I got ya. This episode is for you. I used to feel the same way, and if only I had known what was to come once I finally started saying – no, SCREAMING! – YES to my purpose, YES to my desires, and YES to my dreams.

Because, sister, if I can do it, so can you. Read that again. If I can do it, so can you.

In this episode I will share with you:

• The real revenue numbers for PurposeGirl LLC from 2020 – yes, specific numbers! – and how that compares to how much I made in corporate America.
• What I’m spending that money on right now.
• How many downloads of the PurposeGirl Podcast we got in 2020, and where women are tuning in all over the world!
• How MASSIVE my ripple effect is, and how huge yours can be, too
• The 3 concrete, science backed steps that you can take to have the same – if not better – success in all the ways you want that I had.

Being anti-racist is part of all of our purposes. It’s the only way to elevate the world. But white people aren’t experts on race, so how do I (or you, if white), do it? After the brutal murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor (and others) this summer, I wanted to know what I could do. Many of my white clients and listeners asked the same – where do we start? This episode gives you answers. Gives you the first — and second and third — steps to take. It’s our responsibility as white people to educate ourselves towards being as anti-racist as we possibly can and to use our voices for equality. Admittedly, the conversation feels hard and awkward (for me at least), but we need to have it – to see our blind spots, learn and grow. That’s what this episode is about. Feel into – how is race part of YOUR purpose? Your happiness? After the tragic murders of innocent black people during the summer of 2020, I woke up to my whiteness. As silly as this may sound, I identified so strongly with being Jewish that I didn’t actively realize that I was white. But now, I’m actively stepping into the shoes of my whiteness, and I see how if I want all women to live their dreams, I must do more for racial justice.

So, I’m using my privilege – and my platform – to elevate the voices who are more expert than me. And I’m learning. Let’s learn together.

Today’s PurposeGirl Podcast guests use their platform – The Kinswomen Podcast – to help educate people all over the world about racial justice conversations, communication, and marketing. Yseult Polfliet and Hannah Summerhill are great friends who help people have the difficult interracial conversations that need to be had. In this episode, they helped me share a story of racism I’ve never shared (it’s POWERFUL) and allowed me to ask them questions we all need to consider to have racial justice and to be an anti-racist.

In this episode you will:

• Learn the first step to take if you want to help with racial justice.
• Learn the importance of making the shift between “doing well” and “meaning well.”
• Be led through questions you can ask yourself to uncover where your inner work needs to begin to become more anti-racist.
• Be challenged to push your own limits of what you imagine and understand diversity to be.
• Understand how to start the work in your own community, and with your own individual actions.
• Hear my personal story about racism.
• Understand the fact that it is almost always the oppressed communities that are doing the work to liberate themselves, and that it’s past time that communities of power use their position and privilege to work towards liberation.
• Recognize that we all have blind spots, and that finding them is messy, but necessary.

Let’s raise our voices together!
