  1. The Power of Healthy Shame

    The Power of Healthy Shame

    “One of the hallmarks of disturbed characters (narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths) is their pathological lack of shame.” - George Simon, Character Disturbance Most people lump shame into one thing and think that it's all bad, all of the time. This couldn't be further from the truth. In this episode, I share the critical difference between healthy shame and toxic shame. And how missing the boat with this has led to the rise of narcissism across the board.

  2. Is this path right for you?

    5D AGO

    Is this path right for you?

    In today’s episode, I get really honest and cut to the chase, sharing who’s right for this path and who it might not be the best fit for. Here are some attributes that I look for in my clients, and in people who are best suited for this path: They resonate with the path of relationships that I outline, and are excited at the possibility of walking it. They typically feel very aligned with it, like it’s part of their destiny. At the same time, they don’t romanticize it, and know that it’s going to bring stuff up. (One of the biggest myths about conscious relationships is that somehow they’re all rainbows and butterflies.) We don’t spiritually bypass on this path, in fact it’s meant to be relational shadow work. My people are ready and willing to see their blind spots. This can be uncomfortable, but is true freedom. I often say that I’m not in service to people at the level of ego, but in service to people at a soul level. I have compassion for the ego, but will not prop it up. My people have a growth mindset, a fundamental understanding that life is here as a school for us, and we’re here to learn some things. This requires humility, knowing that, “Hey, i don’t know everything, but i’m willing to learn.” And, this realization does not trigger shame inside of them. They get it, knowing it’s the human experience. They know that seeing and accepting their weak areas is actually empowerment, because as they lean in, they can get stronger and more whole. Life becomes more balanced and better all around. This ties into personal responsibility. Are you willing to take responsibility for your subconscious, the thing that’s actually creating your reality? My people also know that healing is not linear. Sometimes we need to revisit things from multiple angles, especially our core wounds. (This relates to Jung’s concept of circumambulation.) They are open to a truly holistic view of healing: psychological, spiritual, energetic, somatic. My people are committed and aren’t going to run away when things get hard. They are able to communicate openly if something doesn’t feel good, and practice open communication. They’re willing to be empowered and take what I give them and run with it, putting it into practice, rather than giving all their power away, and expecting me to do the work for them. Lastly, my people truly see this work as an investment in themselves and everyone around them. It’s an investment in time, money, and energy, and yet ultimately it is an investment in your soul. I match all of these things, and it’s really interesting for me to read back this list, because most of it is just my standards in relationships.

    The MOST Important Relationship Work You Can Do is Foundational

    For the next few months, I'm going to be focusing on the most important foundational work that you can do to improve your relationships. This includes: - developing secure attachment - freeing ourselves from codependency - cultivating true self-love and self-worth - learning about boundaries - developing crystal clear communication skills In the path of relationships that I teach, I call this Level 1. It will completely change your life even if you have zero interest to move into the higher levels of relationships (Level 2 - Conscious Relationships, and Level 3 - Spiritual Partnership). The vast majority of people have not yet built the strong and solid foundation that Level 1 provides, and this is why there is immense confusion and failure when it comes to building strong, healthy relationships. There is no shame, since most people are not taught this - and I had to learn everything the hard way through major life lessons that were incredibly painful and humbling. This work is worth every single minute. The Foundation begins on Sunday, March 22.

    Full Feminine Expression with Rayna Boychuk

    In this episode, Rayna Boychuk (Self Love Lounge) and I sit down to talk about why it’s time NOW for women to embrace our full feminine expression. This is a call to action for women to get over the passive, repressed style of communication and become comfortable speaking truth, because we recognize that this is the greatest act of love - for ourselves and for humanity. Rayna shares her personal story and ‘why’ behind the work that she does with women, why nervous system work is so critical for those of us on the path of initiation, and where we are at in the relationship between men and women. We cover SO MUCH more - debunking the myths around what ‘feminine’ is, why it’s triggering, and the need for women to fully own our gifts and power (because nobody else is going to do it for us). There is also a great discussion on the need to move out of constant ‘healing’ to balance it out with action and moving forward. There are so many potent gems in this one - let us know what you think. Rayna is a mentor and guide for women ready to activate their soul mission and step into embodied leadership, wealth, and sovereignty. Through her work on nervous system stability, identity, and self led business, she helps women build lives of freedom and sustainable power in a rapidly changing world.

    Are You Blocking Goodness in Your Life?

    In this episode, I speak to the Upper Limit Problem that so many of us face in our relationships and life at large. This phenomenon is when we have a ceiling of how much goodness, love, etc we can actually handle - and then we unconsciously block these blessings to bring our nervous systems down to a level that it feels more comfortable. A simple way to think about it is self-sabotage. The Upper Limit Problem is an invitation for us to expand our nervous system’s capacity to hold MORE goodness rather than becoming dysregulated and creating problems to bring the energy down. It’s one of the most empowering things EVER when we can begin to become conscious of the natural pulsation of this universal law of ascent and descent, so that we can avoid dysfunctional ways of trying to regulate our energy. The thing is, we can expand our capacity for the good, and we actually must do this if we are interested in growing and evolving past our set point. This is not just about having a better life, it’s directly tied into our soul’s evolution - and life is constantly trying to give us the opportunities to do this work. — About me:My name is Leigh-Anne LoPinto, and I’m a psychologist and breathwork teacher specializing in relationships.
