    Coming Home to Myself: Lessons from a Year and 9 Months of Abstaining from Sex | Ep 33

    Coming Home to Myself: Lessons from a Year and 9 Months of Abstaining from Sex | Ep 33

    In this profoundly personal solo episode, I open up to share the story behind my decision to abstain from romantic intimacy with men for 1 year and 9 months. 



    This was not a decision I made lightly. After a painful breakup and a serious health scare in early 2022, I realized drastic change was needed if I wanted to rewrite my love story and manifest the love I truly desired to experience in my life.  



    During what I can only describe as a mixture of a dark night of the soul and one of the most difficult and significant turning chapters of my story, I did the deepest inner work of my life— exploring and resolving my conditioning around men, relationships, the mother/father wound, and fear of intimacy dating back to childhood and even my ancestry. I excavated unconscious patterns and rewrote disempowering stories that no longer served the woman I was becoming and the vision that I have for myself when it comes to creating a life full of love and harmony – including in my romantic relationships.



    It was a challenging yet incredibly clarifying commitment to myself that grew me in ways that, two years later, I don’t even recognize myself as a woman (for the better!). I cherish the relationship that I’ve built with myself, the love that I am practicing towards myself, and the woman that I’ve become – not to mention, the external reflections of the love I’ve cultivated in my heart, which I am experiencing every day.





    EPISODE INSIGHTS:



    ▪️How abstinence gave me space to reconnect with my Soul 



    ▪️Learning to deeply enjoy my own company



    ▪️Dialing in my “energetic hygiene” and strengthening my energy body



    ▪️How self-love rippled out to amplify my purpose and grow my business



    ▪️Why healing the past frees you to consciously design the future



    ▪️How changing my inner reality around love reshaped my outer experience 





    HIGHLIGHT QUOTES:




    "My biggest fear was being alone. And for me to truly grow and overcome that fear, there was no other way but to go into it—and be alone."
    Celinne Da Costa




    "The more alone I was, I started to realize, wait, this is really fun. I really enjoy my time. I really enjoy quality time with myself." 
    Celinne Da Costa




    "My business doubled in 2022 during this celibacy period. The more I came back to myself, back into my vitality, my joy...the more clarity I received around my business."
    Celinne Da Costa





    This was an incredibly transformative chapter that changed how I relate to myself and others. If you resonate with longing for deeper self-love or are seeking to rewrite your love story to be in alignment to your highest self, this episode is for you.



    If you desire to upgrade your relationship story so that you can attract healthier partnerships and navigate your breakups with ease, clarity, and grace then my Masterclass on Conscious Uncoupling may be just what you need.

    What does it look like to truly own your power, find full confidence in your soul gifts, and turn them into a successful business? Today we dive deep into the incredible story of one of my clients, Ali Kates, a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach. 



    In this episode, we explore how Ali has rewritten her story of success and moved from playing small to boldly answering her Soul's calling.



    Ali came to me as a naturally intuitive and empathic person, but not having fully come to the space where she could own that yet… this was affecting her ability to run a successful business. She was burnt out, and frustrated. She felt stuck and like no matter how hard she worked on her business, something would end up derailing her. 



    During the past 1.5 years of working together, Ali has made some incredible transformations.

    By doing the inner work, she was able to regain her confidence in herself and her abilities and align her business to her vision. She let go of her people-pleasing tendencies and built a practice of high-quality, ideal clients, allowing her to 10x her rates and make her investment back in just 2 months!

    Something would totally derail me because I wasn't embodied and empowered in my decision in my business.
    Ali Kates




    I really believed in myself, that I could do it, and that I was put here to do this. And I made that money back in two months. I 10x my rate.
    Ali Kates




    When you slow down and get aligned, things speed up. It's not as quickly as you do. It's as quickly as you align.
    Celinne Da Costa




    Celinne is a gift to this earth and so connected. What surprised me doing this work was the spiritual side and being connected to the universe, God, and nature.
    Ali Kates





    Through profound inner work, Ali has moved from feeling stuck in scarcity and playing small to boldly stepping into her gifts. She is an embodiment of what’s possible when you commit fully to your growth.



    If Ali’s story resonates and you feel called to your next level and desire to work with me you can do so at multiple investment levels in group and private settings, as well as any of my self-lead programs and courses. 





    LOVE MONEY AGAIN



    Ali highly recommends my Love Money Again course for anyone who has a scarcity mindset.

    Harmonizing the Masculine and Feminine: Tantra as a Map for Wholeness with Ananda Sarita | Ep 30

    Harmonizing the Masculine and Feminine: Tantra as a Map for Wholeness with Ananda Sarita | Ep 30

    Tantra invites us on a powerful journey back home to ourselves. By balancing the masculine and feminine polarities within, we awaken to our true nature beyond limiting beliefs and past conditioning.



    In this episode, masterful Tantra teacher Ananda Sarita dives deep into the tantric perspective on harmonizing our inner masculine and feminine energies. This alchemical process helps achieve wholeness within ourselves and the sacred union in our intimate relationships.



    Sarita reminds us that nature designed men and women to be complementary opposites, with inherent biological and psychological differences. Yet modern society has disrupted the natural polarity, leading both genders to adopt imbalanced masculine traits of control, goal orientation, and competition.



    Through tantra's sacred teachings and map of the chakras, Ananda guides us back to equilibrium. We learn to honor the divine gifts unique to masculinity and femininity and allow those energies to dance in polarity.



    Above all, Tantra is a pathway leading us directly into the heart of the divine mystery.



    This episode explores how this ancient approach helps us remember the love, bliss, and oneness we knew before the world conditioned us to forget.





    EPISODE INSIGHTS:




    How our biology helps us to achieve intimacy



    Reclaiming our gifts through Tantra



    Balancing inner male or female to bring wholeness



    Our spiritual evolution



    Aligning energy centers to unlock our potential



    Love as a woman’s superpower



    Bringing divine feminine qualities into society






    HIGHLIGHT QUOTES:




    “ We can get unconsciously addicted to men if we're not navigating our intimacy consciously.”
    Celinne Da Costa




    "Love is omnipresent in our reality. To ask, where is love? Is like a fish in the sea asking, where is the water? We are living in an ocean of love."
    Ananda Sarita




    "Tantra, for me, has been a powerful way to find my way back to love."
    Celinne Da Costa




    "Nature intends us to live in a state of equilibrium and bliss."
    Ananda Sarita




    “Through Tantra, I have been able to return back to my feminine principles.”
    Celinne Da Costa




    "As we open our clairvoyant vision, we become one with all that is."
    Ananda Sarita





    This dynamic exchange offers profound insight into solving humanity’s deepest rifts - between mind and body, masculine and feminine, humanity and nature. By exploring the disconnects we collectively experience from Source, Tantra provides a bridge back to wholeness.



    Through profound wisdom and grace, Ananda Sarita reminds us of the love we are. May we carry this message in our hearts, protecting and nurturing its flame as we walk each step with renewed presence and courage.



    I hope these show notes have provided an insightful glimpse into this transformational discussion. To fully immerse yourself in Ananda Sarita's gift, be sure to listen to the full episode with love and optimism for our continued awakening!





    MEET MA ANANDA SARITA



    Ananda Sarita's mission in life is to spread the joy of Tantra in the world.



    She has been deeply immersed in her personal path of Tantra, Meditation and Spirituality since 1973 and has spent 17 years learning directly from the enlightened mystic Osho in his physical presence. This invaluable time has allowed her to absorb the full essence of his teachings and dive deeper into the realms of Tantra and holistic healing.



    Ananda Sarita is committed to practicing and teaching authentic Tantra, rooted in Meditation and Love.



    For her, Tantra is a sublime path to enlightenment which explores polarities and the alchemical transformation that takes place when opposites meet in the light of awareness.

    Creating a Soul-Aligned Business That Honors Your Family: A Case Study with Dr. Stephanie Wigner | Ep 28

    What does it take to build a business that's an authentic expression of your soul's purpose while being a fully present mom? In my latest interview with past coaching client Dr. Stephanie Wigner, we explore this question and so much more.



    Stephanie shares vulnerably about her journey working with me in a private 4-month container, where we focused on aligning her purpose-driven consulting business with her deepest values.



    Although Stephanie already had successful companies, she came to me feeling the pull to take her new business to the next level in a way that honored her lifestyle freedom and family priorities.



    We got real about how adopting self-care practices and how scheduling intentional time for family allows working moms to enjoy both, without sacrificing one for the other. Stephanie had a powerful realization that spending quality time with her son actually supports her alignment and business growth rather than takes away from it. 



    Throughout our coaching, Stephanie made incredible shifts within herself that allowed her to show up as the highest version of who she is meant to be. Her journey illustrates how embracing our feminine energy empowers us to seamlessly integrate our personal and professional lives.





    WAYS WORK WITH ME?



    If you're like Stephanie and are ready to create a life, brand, and business that sets your soul on fire, apply here for private coaching with me. I currently have a couple of spots open for early 2024.

    Staying present to appreciate the lifestyle you've created vs always chasing the next goal

    Even if you're a busy mom, take 10 minutes, even if you're just stepping outside and putting your toes in the grass. Claim yourself, now. Today.
    Celinne Da Costa




    The more time I spend with my son, the more I feel in my flow. I feel more in my feminine energy because he brings out a really joyful, playful side of me. And it’s actually good for my business.
    Dr. Stephanie Wigner




    When you're feeling good about your work, it gets easier.
    Celinne Da Costa




    There was a part of me that thought to get to where I wanted to be, I had to work harder.
    Dr. Stephanie Wigner




    The more we become who we're naturally here to be, the more life starts to rearrange itself to support us.
    Celinne Da Costa




    Now I really feel like I'm embodying the best version of myself.
    Dr. Stephanie Wigner





    My intention in sharing this uplifting conversation is to showcase the incredible transformations available when we dedicate ourselves to the inner work. With consistent practice, we can resolve the fears, limiting beliefs, and blocks that have held us back from fully embracing our gifts.



    The "outer" results Stephanie created in her business and lifestyle are just beautiful side effects of doing this soul-focused work. When we align with our truth and act from inspiration, our reality effortlessly rearranges itself to mirror our internal expansion.
