I wanted to give you one more bonus before we jump into our brand new episodes that will launch next week on January 12th! It is a Guided Meditation and it’s actually the first one I released on Be Bold Begin. And I am putting the question to you: What do you want and what do you want to give. Finding intuitive answers to questions like these can be accessed easier when we are being guided in a focused meditation, it gives our minds permission to let go, to be guided and to flow and at the same ...

The amazing Joy Shannon is our guest on today’s show and we talk about her life long journey with creativity and healing and how the two intersect. Her new album The Cave is being released with "releasing" in mind by making it available on the Winter Solstice (a day of ritual and releasing) I think this conversation is the perfect note to end 2020 on (no pun intended) as well. When we let go, we make room for more magic and opportunity to come into our lives and the journey Joy Shannon shares ha...

I want to talk about your voice and your message. Many of you are creative people and some of you are building platforms for yourselves and some of you are on a self love and healing journey. Some of you are all of those things. And knowing and understanding your purpose and/or mission can serve all of these endeavors. It helps you create a more intentional life down to your day to day habits. It can influence how you create boundaries, how you show up for people, how you show up for yourself an...

What does it mean to be our whole selves? Why do we keep parts of ourselves separate and compartmentalized? What parts of ourselves do we bring with us when we show up in different communities and in different roles? And what would it feel like to be “whole” and unapologetic when it comes to who we really are…as our authentic selves? My guest today is Shana Bianchi of Mindful Divine and we talk about lots of things but this idea of incorporating our whole selves into all parts of our lives is at...

Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world." —Lawrence G. Lovasik The power of words has changed my life many times but one of the most powerful ways in which I had to discover the way I used my OWN words was when I was asked to observe how I talk to myself. Many of us spend a lot of our energy talking negatively to ourselves and I was definitely not the exception. I had no idea how mean and unkin...

We are on the topic of Imposter Syndrome and this conversation with Gregory Locklear is one of the most candid, honest and authentic featured thus far on Be Bold Begin. I brought my lapel mics and field recording device to visit Greg in his new Hollywood home so we could talk casually and comfortably which we very much did. We relate over old café conversations about how we would build our dreams, the difficulties of living in Los Angeles, our shared lives in the hospitality industry and of cour...

We often don't have time or feel comfortable just "being'. It has loads of connotations attached to it like being "lazy" or not being productive and therefore not being of worth or value. But the truth is we find ourselves in those spaces and crevasses when we sit still and just "be". It often helps when someone else can gently hold that space for you, like this guided meditation. Use it as a tool to find a few minutes of quiet and stillness...and maybe a little more peace than usual. For more s...

Resources can be anything. They can be a person you know, a piece of equipment you need or can use, your available time...anything. Take a look around and see what you already have and allow it to influence your process. You may notice you have a lot already to facilitate what you need if you're a little creative with it. It can also give you the parameters for your project. If you're limited on time then try and create a structure that facilitates that. If your resource is money, then pay someo...

The way we talk to ourselves can determine how we feel about a lot of things. First and foremost, it reveals what we really think about ourselves. The first time it was introduced to me to take notice of the self-talk that ran through my mind non-stop was a suggestion that was super revealing. Not only did it feel weird to begin doing it at first but the words that were on repeat in my mind and then also often out loud was ...shockingly negative. We all have things that come easy to us that are ...

We all have fears. Its part of our brain-makeup and is there to keep us alive (<-insert gratitude here). But the nature of the world we live in now, generally speaking, is anxiety inducing and our fears can fall short of what feels like a trait to be grateful for and can act more as a hinderance. Frankly, we'd rather it just go away never to bother us again. Well, fear is here to stay and that is actually okay. We can find ways to work with it, transform it into a positive process and sometim...
