    Manifesting Your Ideal Life and Transmuting Energy with Jasmine Green | TBT

    Lady, are you in control of your life? In today’s throwback episode, Jasmine Green joins Terri and Dr. Dom to share with us how we may not be in alignment with our purpose and steps we can take to get into alignment. No matter how your journey started, as we hear from Jasmine, does not have to be the route you continue to take. The internal experience of the entrepreneur we see is a powerfully vulnerable story and Jasmine shares with us how to transmute our energy. Through visualizations and personal examples we learn concrete steps to manifest the life we deserve.Quote of the Day:"You can only receive what you're actually ready for AND... You will only allow yourself to have what you believe you deserve."- Jasmine P. GreenTakeaways:Three phases of ManifestationTrue manifestation is when you master being it vs wanting it1. I want it because I recognize what I don’t have2. Close your eyes and visualize where you want to be ”this is mine”3.

    The In Between of Who I Was and Who I Am

    Lady, by now you know the most uncomfortable part of your becoming is just that, the discomfort. The next version of you requires a shedding of all of the ways that kept you safe because those ways are likely now what are keeping you small. Knowing that doesn’t make the actual act of shifting your life any easier, which is why Terri and Dr. Dom stop by this week to offer some comfort and a few strategies to help you navigate these changes in a way that is authentic to you. Whether it’s shifting a relationship by removing contact or allowing yourself to shatter your own worldview, there is a quiet power in making yourself comfortable in the liminal spaces in your life. So, how do you make the most of the vastness between the old and new you? Tune in this week for tips on how to cultivate a level of curiosity so that you can decorate your interior life with what feels real and true for you.

    When Dimming Your Light Holds You Back | TBT

    In today’s episode, Dr. Dom and Terri help us understand how we may be dimming our light through real-life examples. Now is the time for us to stop playing small and start “Shining, Shining, Yeah!”Quote of the Day:"Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."- Marianne WilliamsonSylvia Salow’s 6 Secrets to Stop Dimming Your Light1. Observe Your Body2.
