SOUL Alchemy with Noelle Whittington | HGP #47

Do what brings you joy, and your purpose will unfold.

-Iyanla Vanzant

What brings you joy? What makes you happy in your heart? What makes you happy in your soul? These are the questions that propelled me on my personal journey to discover my True Self. I wanted to align with my higher self to not only bring more joy and peace to my life but to also live congruently with my soul.

Taking time to connect with your soul and finding your true purpose takes work and lucky for you my next guest has created a program to help you find your soul’s true expression so you can start living the life of your dreams in just four weeks. Now the four weeks part may sound surprising but I’m here to tell you, you can do it, but it does not come without putting in the work. You hear me say all the time, “there’s no magic pill.” Well, a more fitting quote is “None of the secrets of success will work unless you do.” If you want to be successful, set yourself up for success. Find a way to hold yourself accountable. Discovering what brings you joy will lead you to discovering your soul’s true expression. It all takes time, energy, and work, but I promise you the amount of joy and love waiting for you as you carry out the life you were meant to live is worth every second spent on yourself.

About Noelle: Noelle began teaching Yoga in 2006 after graduating from Nosara Yoga Institute with a mission of only teaching Yoga and serving the world in a way that felt authentic, fulfilling, and reflected her values.Her vision and brand is called Narayanishakti (pronounced nah RYE ah nee shock tee). This is a representation of both her Highest Self, and her life’s work. As an E-RYT500 and YACEP, She offers Yoga education through courses like Bhakti Mythology and Mantras, Mentoring for Yoga studios and Yoga teachers, Spiritual Life Coaching and online courses like Soul Alchemy, and Mantra Meditation and Music. Her mission is to help people discover and clarify their Soul’s true expression, so they can embody their authentic vision and confidently share themselves with the world. She is honored to help people connect to their own internal guide, so they can create and live the life of their dreams.

Throughout the years, Noelle has been the Co-Director of Wilmington Yoga Center, senior trainer for the Kunga Yoga School, and has led 11 international Yoga and Service retreats to India, Jamaica, Belize, and Costa Rica. Along the way, as a teacher and student of Bhakti Yoga, constant travel and so many events, workshops, series, Kirtan events, and Yoga Music Festivals, she craved stability, simplicity, and clarity.

Inspired through her studies, travel, events, and yoga music festivals, Noelle desired to create a program which could serve more people from anywhere in the world and have a greater impact than one-offs, and she really wanted to be more focused on her method of service which focused on practices that connect us more deeply with our heart and each other through the ancient wisdom and teachings of Yoga. From this calling, she created Soul Alchemy: an online group and private coaching program helping people discover and clarify their Soul’s true expression, so they can confidently share their authentic vision with the world and live the life of their dreams in just 4 weeks. Noelle truly believes that all the challenges we go through in our lives serve to prepare us for our calling, and we can be led there by following what we are passionate about.

Pause, Reset, and Recharge | Frances Angeline Rowe | HGP#46

“The truth is often much kinder than the story I say to myself.”

-Byron Katie

“Now what?!” We all have had at least one “now what…” moment in life. A loss of identity, a breakup, loss of a loved one, ending of a career or competitive sport, finishing school, etc. Frances Angeline Rowe joins the podcast to discuss her “now what…” moment and her new book, Pause, Reset, and Rechargewhich reflects her journey in recovery and self work. When I asked Frances what she would like for you to take away from this episode, she offered these words: healing shame and guilt, building self compassion, and creating sacred self care time. 

Perhaps you are experiencing a “now what” moment right now. No matter where you are in your journey there are so many great topics in this episode that I think you will love. We have conversations about the importance of following your dreams, self love, letting go of things that no longer serve you, and embracing the spiritual gifts we receive. As a new year approaches you may be thinking about setting intentions and aligning more with your true self. If that’s the case my hope is that you will walk away from this podcast recharged and ready to let go, accept who you are, and follow your heart. You have heard me talk about the importance of self care and there’s no better time to start taking care of yourself than right now.

About Frances: Frances is a licensed clinical addiction specialist. She recently sold her business, D.W.I. Assessments and Counseling Services, LLC, that she owned and managed over 16 years.

“It’s Personal not Personnel” | Retired Army Colonel Rob Campbell HGP#39

Most Americans Live to Work whereas most Europeans Work to Live. Are you someone who loves their job and feels rewarded? According to the 2017 Gallup Poll, 70% of employees in today’s workforce are not engaged at work, meaning they are not psychologically committed to their jobs, happy in the workplace and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations. Chances are, you are or at some point will be part of the 70% of employees who are disengaged at work, drawing a paycheck and going home. Or maybe part of the 51% of employees actively looking for another job. If you are an avid listener of this podcast you have met plenty of people who genuinely love what they do for work and feel fulfilled doing it.

What do people really desire in order to be happy? The answer will obviously vary from person to person. Rob researched Desires of People, specifically soldiers and employees. He found everyone has value and potential. As a brigade leader he was charged with preparing men and women for combat and remembered what they desired to be at their very best. Rob had more than 70 subordinate organizational leaders serving under him in his two-year tenure in brigade command, each with different desires. Rob’s personal study resulted in a short desires collection or “List of Six” that he uses as a vehicle dashboard to examine his own organization and people, and offers them as a way for you to implement them in your own ogranization. The List of Six are: Fulfillment, Autonomy, Praise & Recognition, Safety, Discipline, and Growth.

In this podcast we break down a few of the desires on the List of Six and discuss how you can start applying them, build better relationships, and create better leaders in your own organization. We also discuss how to attract and keep employees who subscribe to company values and culture.

After serving 27 years in the Army, Colonel Rob Campbell retired to the North Carolina coast and wrote a book called, It’s Personal not Personnel. This book was inspired by his position in the Army and he applies leadership principles from his brigade experiences by taking a more personal approach in the workplace. Rob uses a people centric approach in helping organizations and businesses invest in their people, achieve better results and attract happier employees.

Dry Needling | Change the Game Physical Therapy: Ryan Godfrey HGP#38

Many people think of physical therapy, or PT, as “rehab”, or something you need after surgery or an injury. There are many misconceptions when it comes to PT like you need a referral to see a physical therapist, or it’s only appropriate for people who have had surgery or seriously injured themselves, or physical therapy is only exercise based. I admit, before meeting Ryan I had the misconception that physical therapy doesn’t work because it hadn’t worked for me in the past. 

Ryan Godfrey with Change the Game Physical Therapy is literally changing the game when it comes to managing pain, healing injuries, and getting people back to doing what they love. Ryan believes PT empowers individuals to take a pro-active approach to their health. He also believes Physical Therapists should be seen as the experts in musculoskeletal health, providing clients with a holistic alternative to medications, injections and surgery. Physical Therapists can also educate clients on the importance of lifestyle modifications, like nutrition, exercise, and sleep, to aid in rehab and athletic performance.

It is clear when listening to this interview that Ryan truly loves what he does but that wasn’t always the case. Ryan was working in a traditional clinic setting where his job was to see as many patients as possible in a day. However, Ryan wanted to work with patients on a deeper level, and have one on one time with each individual client. He wanted an opportunity to educate them on their injury, have adequate time for treatment and educate them on home exercises and lifestyle modifications to help them heal long term. In the traditional clinic setting, Ryan’s focus was on quantity of patients not quality. His job was to document and move on. The clinic didn’t care about quality as long as volume was high. Ryan had no real motivation to increase his productivity nor did he receive any praise or recognition for his work. The effort level to get clients better was low because there wasn’t enough time to spend with each person. Ultimately led him feeling that he wasn’t helping people improve in timely manner and he wasn’t able to follow his passion which is to get them back to the activity or sport they were doing before.

As an athlete I recently found myself dealing with a chronic issue that no amount of band-aid fixes could help. I had tried it all: massage, cupping, topicals, foam rolling, stretches, chiropractic care; all to no avail. I thought this was something I was going to have to “deal” with the rest of my life. I had heard about dry needling through my CrossFit Coach, Marissa, and I admit when I first heard the word needle, I was apprehensive. After doing research and talking to my extremely knowledgeable chiropractor, Dr. Dave Russ, I finally made the appointment to see Ryan. And I’m so glad I did.

Listen to this podcast to hear my story of healing, my journey of how I got better, and how Ryan’s journey has changed from unhappy employee to happy entrepreneur.
