Welcome to another episode of the Higher Self Leadership podcast!
In this episode, I continue exploring the topic of boundaries.
I dive in and share my own personal experience with having ZERO boundaries for many years.
About how the coping mechanisms and protective patterns from being “super autonomous”, “self-sufficient”, and “hyper-independent” had me build physical and energetic walls, distance, and barriers between my heart, myself, and others.
If you’re someone who over-commits, is “fine on their own”, and struggles to ask for or receive help, then this episode is for you!

In this solo episode of the Higher Self Leadership podcast, I explore the common thinking around boundaries and offer an alternative approach.
Beautiful Boundaries are grounded in LOVE, PEACE, COMPASSION, GRACE, & FORGIVENESS.
In part 1 of this topic, I explore:
* Why we need to build Beautiful Boundaries that foster connection & intimacy
* Why it’s important to own your evolution & turn your triggers into treasures
I will be exploring this concept more in upcoming episodes!

In this episode, I share the why, how, and what of working with a Guide Word for the year, as well as what I learned from my 2022 word, and how I chose my 2023 word.
Each year I allow a Guide Word to emerge.
Tangible. Blossom. Focus. Clarity. Awakening. Refine.
The reasons for working with a Guide Word include:
* Creating an intentional “container” for the year
* Having a thematic lens through which you see yourself & the world
* Charting a north star you can continuously align yourself with
* Dropping an anchor that can keep you grounded
Why work with a Guide Word?
* Instead of pursuing a destination or specific outcome, a Guide Word allows you to cultivate ongoing practices in alignment with an intention for the year
* A Guide Word is limitless and allows for evolution & expansion beyond whatever you could have planned for yourself
* Guide Words are internally driven and aligned to what is important and emergent for you, instead of focusing on things you think you SHOULD be, do, or have
How to choose your Guide Word: ALLOW IT TO EMERGE! The wand chooses the wizard!
* Ask for it to be revealed to you before you fall asleep
* Ask for guidance before a meditation
* Pull a tarot or oracle card & receive messages
* Pay attention to the signs, signals & synchronicities around you
* Reflect on what you NEED, not what you think you should do, be, or have
* Look for themes in your journal
* Do a mindmap and brainstorm ideas to discover emergent themes
Keeping your Guide Word alive:
* Share & declare: cast a spell by sharing your Guide Word far and wide
* Keep it visible: post-it on your mirror, wear it on a shirt or jewelry, hang it from your car mirror, create a vision board (see mine below), make it your phone or computer wallpaper
* Create reminders: block it in your calendar, set phone reminders/notifications, write it in your journal every day, turn it into a mantra you repeat daily
Creating Habits with Your Guide Word:
* Define your word: look up the dictionary definition and also add your own meaning; get clear on what it means to YOU
* Imagine what it looks like: referring back to your definition, write down what it feels like for you to work with your Guide Word across different aspects of your life; articulate feelings, desired states, and imagery
* Discern behaviors: Distill your meaning and vision into small, repeatable behaviors; start small and integrate these behaviors into your practices – this is how you can create new habits that bring your Guide Word to life!
My 2022 Guide Word: REFINE
What it means to me: to return to a state of fineness and purity; to strip away everything that no longer serves me; to listen deeply to my body; to clear away the clutter in my life – physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually
Practices I cultivated & what I learned:
* More consistency around stepping forward as a spiritual leader: I hosted women’s circles, collaborated with others, hosted 40+ Strange Magic journeys, shared my voice more on social media, allowed myself to be seen by others
* Refinement in my voice, gifts, and purpose: I have a lot more clarity on the impact I’d like to make in this world and how I can best make it through sharing my gifts
* I made some progress in clearing and cleaning my physical space 😜
* I tuned into my body a lot more to learn more about what it needs and what it does not need!
* I no longer feel the need to control everything or prove my value through how much I work or produce
* I have honed my practice of discernment and can see through a lot more distortion, manipulation, and illusion – my own, from others, from the collective
* I feel a sense of sovereignty, freedom, and value at a soul level
* So many of my gifts arrived and I received huge energy and nervous system upgrades
* I practiced being in my divine feminine A LOT!
My 2023 Guide Word: TRUST
What does it mean? Ease, surrender, flow, devotion, alignment, allowing, flowering.
I plan to bring TRUST to life

In the very first-ever episode of the Higher Self Leadership podcast, I share my experience with the art of contemplation.
It’s packed full of examples and inspiration for working with the skills of contemplation.
Contemplation is a...
* gentle path to wholeness
* voyage of self-illumination
* practice for integration
* meta-skill for personal transformation
* method for alchemizing shadows into superpowers
* process for working with ego patterns & beliefs
Practicing contemplation will help you...
* release reliance on mind & intellect
* open up new pathways of awareness
* access inner wisdom
* create new neural pathways
* bring inner & outer lives into balance
* cultivate a sense of presence
* find your virtues & unique genius
* recalibrate your nervous system
* BE your purpose
In this episode, we'll explore:
* What contemplation is
* How to contemplate
* What to contemplate
* 3 practices of contemplation: Mental, Emotional, and Physical
* Techniques & clues you’re on the right path
* Breean’s personal experience & stories with contemplation
