Manifesting Change: The Law of Creation vs. The Law of Attraction With Rebecca Shannon

In this episode, Christina is joined by Rebecca Shannon, who identifies herself as the "queen of heart-led leadership." The conversation delves into the essence of heart-led leadership, emphasizing the importance of leading from a place of empathy, vulnerability, and self-awareness. Rebecca shares insights on how to connect with one's inner leadership and make decisions that align with both the heart and gut instincts. They discuss the challenges many face in practising self-love and kindness, highlighting societal beliefs that often label self-care as selfish. The episode also introduces the concept of being a "time warrior," focusing on how individuals can shift their mindset around time management by prioritizing their intentions and setting strong boundaries.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Leading from the heart involves connecting with empathy and vulnerability, allowing leaders to inspire and motivate others by being authentic and open. This approach emphasizes that true leadership begins with self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
• Effective decision-making should involve a holistic approach that includes the mind, heart, and gut. By physically connecting with these areas and seeking alignment among them, individuals can make more informed and heartfelt choices.
• The concept of being a "Time Warrior" focuses on how individuals can shift their mindset about time management. Instead of relying solely on tools and techniques, it emphasizes the importance of being intentional about priorities and commitments.
• Many struggle with self-love due to societal beliefs that prioritize caring for others over oneself. Practising self-love is essential for personal well-being and enables individuals to better support those around them
• Embracing vulnerability is crucial for effective leadership. It allows individuals to connect deeply with others, fostering trust and collaboration. Recognizing and addressing one's own needs is not a sign of weakness but rather a demonstration of strength and self-awareness.

BEST MOMENTS

"When we drop into our hearts and lead from there, something very different occurs, and we get more from ourselves and our lives than when we come from just up here."

"I consider myself to be very much a heart-led leader... I've embraced that part of me that is an empathetic leader."

"Our problem is not procrastination. Our problem is priorities. If my heart isn't in something, I haven't prioritized it."

"If I love myself, I can love you more. But because we've been taught that that's not true, we love everybody else and then have nothing left for ourselves."

"There's this fear of recognizing vulnerability as weakness, where no, it isn't. Recognizing that doing something about it, that is strength."
