Women's Empowerment School Sylvia Becker-Hill | Empowerment Wizard, Love Warrior & EVElution Catalyst

Spend just a few minutes scrolling social media or watching the news and you’ll be bombarded with multiple competing ideas, all advertised as truth. But how do you know if something is true or not?
What if you don’t need anyone else to tell you what’s true? What if you have, inside yourself, a lie detector you can activate at any given moment?
Today on Women’s Empowerment School, Sylvia is walking us through an exercise for accessing truth in times of lies. She explains why we must get out of fear in order to connect with our inner lie detector, describing how to shift from a state of stress and high-alert to one of groundedness and safety.
Sylvia goes on to discuss how our access to truth is not in the intellectual mind but in the body, helping us distinguish how it feels when we focus on something that is true versus an obvious lie. Listen in for insight into why people are more vulnerable to manipulation right now and learn how to activate your own access to truth when presented with contradictory theories.
Topics Covered The relationship between fear and the motivation to lie
Why we must get out of fear in order to access the truth
How to shift from a state of stress and high-alert to one of groundedness and safety
How our access to truth is not in the intellectual mind but in the body
Sylvia’s exercise for accessing your inner lie detector
Close your eyes, breathe and take your attention inward Open your eyes and observe what’s in front of you Look to the right, left, behind you, up and down Focus on something you know is true and distinguish how it feels in your body Focus on something that is obviously not true and feel how your body changes Explore contradictory ideas and ask your body which one is true Why it’s crucial to train yourself to be with uncomfortable feelings
Why we’re more vulnerable to manipulation in times of fear

We are in a season of growing conflict, dissonance and even hatred among people. And faced with someone we disagree with, it’s easy to get dragged into a sea of negative emotions—where unconditional love feels entirely out of reach. But what if we DO have the power to choose love, regardless of the circumstances?
Today on Women’s Empowerment School, Sylvia is sharing the twelfth chapter of her book, 12 Leadership Powers for Successful Women, ‘The Power of Unconditional Love.’ She weighs in on the patriarchal love-falls-from-the-sky paradigm of love, explaining how it takes the power out of our hands and portrays love as a kind of virus we catch in the right moment.
Sylvia then invites us to consider a radically different paradigm, reframing love as a conscious, creative act we CHOOSE and challenging us to love the person in front of us regardless of how we think they make us feel. Listen in for insight around the self-image you must cultivate in order to lead from love and learn how to leverage unconditional love to reap results that feel like magic!
Topics Covered  What inspired the creation of Sylvia’s book, 12 Leadership Powers for Successful Women
The idea that each of us embodies love, peace and freedom at our essence
The expectation that we must do what we love to achieve true happiness
The love-falls-from-the-sky paradigm that paints love as a virus we catch in the right moment  
Sylvia’s invitation to reframe love as a conscious, creative act we CHOOSE
How to love the person in front of you independent of how you think they make you feel
The self-image that gives us the ability to love and lead from love
Why widening the gap between external input and our reactions is a prerequisite to unconditional love
How leading with unconditional love reaps results that feel like MAGIC
