Episode 36 is all about the act and art of ALLOWING...
ALLOWING. That word is a powerful word and an even more powerful action. To ALLOW can mean things that you allow in your life which opens up to the exploration of things you've never experienced before. But, it can also be something that you allow yourself to say NO to.
Both the opening up to allow new things and the saying of the word 'no' are equal in the empowerment that they provide in your life. You must allow yourself to be OK with letting go of the "old" (the status quo as we say at Disrupt Now) to allow yourself to open your soul up to new and exciting things!
This is where we can invite the MAGIC to come and surround us! Magical things can seem 'good' and maybe even sometimes they can seem 'bad' but either way, the universe if giving you something that you need at that moment in time. Sometimes that thing will be something that will elevate you to new empowerment levels that you never thought possible. The opening up of new doors, the ability to learn new things, the crazy experiences to share that seem unbelievable to have survived, and so much more.
The art of self-discovery is all wrapped around ALLOWING as well. Allowing yourself to be open-minded to see all of life's possibilities, and then where you need to "clean" things up to allow more awesomeness to enter your path.
