Episode 69: Alexis Artin - Transforming Women

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 07 Apr 2021 00:00:00 -0400

I love that magical moment when I'm diving into depths of conversation on a topic I'm passionate about only to discoer kindship with a likeminded sister. Meeting Alexis was like hanging out with someone I've known forever.

As seen in FOX, Thrive Global, Entertainment Tonight, and more, Alexis Artin is a leading Success Coach, international speaker, a writer trained in neuro-linguistic programming, and a master embodiment teacher—fully immersed in the DeMartini Method.

Having spent the past two decades propelling people towards their personal and professional best, Alexis is a woman transforming women. After working with many A-list celebrities across the board, in television and film, Alexis transitioned her passion and skillset for fostering potential and obtaining results in the world of self-development and transformation. She worked side-by-side with many of the most revered thought leaders bringing personal growth to the global stage. Alexis was the driving force behind expanding one of the largest and most respected female empowerment companies, which inspired her to channel her expertise into creating a coaching practice serving clients worldwide.

Alexis teaches others to embrace their knowing, connecting mind, body, heart, and soul. Her powerful coaching gives her clients true and lasting transformation from the inside out. An ICF-certified professional coach and Energy Leadership Master Practitioner, Alexis is also co-founder of FreeBody™ Practice and a hypnotherapist.

In studying with Dr. John Demartini, one concept he teaches is the paradoxical nature of the soul and the body as complementary opposites. That the soul chose the body to have an embodied experience, but the body is like an animal operating at a base level.
The goal is to integrate our “opposites,” our soul and body, by being present and in alignment with both, and tapping into and re-membering is a constant practice.
Our bodies are designed to tell us when we are not in alignment - and once cued, we can reconnect.
The breath is a tool, but the mind and the heart are the bridge between the body and the soul. They will align us, or they will throw us out of alignment.
When we are very young most of our programming is set because when we don't have resources, we are powerless, and we are then thrust into a world where we have to live by the values of the people caring for us.
Empowerment is about choice, period. Empowerment is about our ability to choose at any given moment.
Awareness is our superpower.
Habitual change happens in 21 days. It’s about where we've been asleep in our lives and where we want to awaken. It is being in the practice of the inquiry and at peace in our lives through the body.

Episode 59: Kat Miller - The Portal of Aging

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0500

As we age, we understand what age discrimination (also known as ageism) is all about.

People face ageism and other intersecting forms of discrimination in many ways in our society. Women, by and large, are disproportionately impacted by ageism. From a young age, we are conditioned to believe that our value is tied to our youthful appearance and “marketability." As a result, the beauty and fashion industry perpetuate a narrative that keeps women in “the trance” of unworthiness.

Policies and services must be adapted to reflect our changing population structures to ensure that everyone, young and old, has equitable access to services and entitlements. Yet, this is only part of the tragedy of the ageism story.

Meet Kat Miller. Kat has an MA in spiritual psychology. For the past 35 years, she’s been counseling, teaching, and consulting. Her passion is using aging as a catalyst to breaking free from cultural conditioning and discovering truth and wisdom through our own direct experience. Kat also uses the medium of photography to express the inherent beauty of aging and impermanence.

Show Notes:

Aging is a positive, natural, and beautiful process, but we’ve been enculturated to think otherwise.
Ageism happens when people face stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination based on their age.
Because of ageism, older people are excluded from jobs and social services.
It also increasingly underpins human rights violations such as elder abuse and financial exploitation. In many ways, ageism is the last socially accepted form of discrimination.
People that are aging are generally slowing down, and in our society, that is almost taboo. In terms of enjoyment of life, however, it’s actually a very positive thing.
As we get older, physiologically and emotionally, we are slowing down because and not quite so involved with performance anxiety that we've had throughout our younger years, which is very liberating.
There’s no such thing as good or bad when it comes to aging. We tend to hold others to a measurement based on whether they are “aging well” because they can still do yoga at age 102, and then we idolize that as somehow ideal or a “good” version of aging.
“Wow, you look amazing for your age" is an excellent example of ageism.
Ageism is like the last frontier of social change that’s truly got to shift if we want to change how we live our lives and love ourselves well.
Men are often considered “handsome” and sexually desirable well into their 50s, 60s, and 70s and are still considered for lead roles in movies. This is not so for women.
The U curve of happiness is a metric of how we start our lives happy and carefree, and in our 20s, 30s, and 40s, we become less so, but then into our 50’s and up the curve trends upward again.

Episode 32: Rachel Dunham - Brand Vibration

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 00:15:00 -0400

Rachel Dunham is often referred to as a creatrix, and while the term itself refers to a powerful female creator, I believe that a creatrix is also a woman who is gifted with intuition and the ability to tap into that which we cannot see in order to bring ideas and essence into form and energy.

I was lucky enough to have worked with Rachel to create the branding for The Revelation Project, and was astonished when she revealed it to me. It’s a mark with multiple meanings that so captured the many angles of what The Revelation Project is.

My logo is of two faces looking at one another, their outline creating a butterfly. The butterfly is a symbol of transformation; a story that is near and dear to my heart. The two faces represent self-love and the power of witnessing other women. Witnessing, or truly seeing another, and celebrating each other, are two very important elements to every interaction I have with all the women I serve through The Revelation Project. Rachel created an image that represents not only me but the many women the project serves as well as our power, our purpose, and our ability to become the most beautiful version of our true selves.

Listen in as Rachel and I talk about mothering, female entrepreneurship during covid, business as a form of self-expression, the evolution of a brand, the importance of investing in your business, the energetics of branding, The Desire Deck that she is creating, and the mark she wants to leave on the world.

*Show notes: *

We use our businesses as a form of self-expression.
Women charge a lot for their services but yet are not willing to put money into their own business and brand.
Rachel believes that the best place to start with branding is within, at the core of who you are, and how you want to connect to the people you serve.
Rachel created a journal to do the initial emotional branding work of who you are to help you get the clarity you need to begin.
When we begin the process of starting a business, the first questions we need to ask are: How do we want to serve?
How do we want to be known in the world?
A brand is so much more than a mark, it is also an energetic vibration.
If your brand and your message are created in alignment with the truth of the energy behind it, it’s going to resonate for others and attract them if they need your product or service.
We are not our business. We inform our business, but it’s important that we not “be” our business.
The Desire Deck is about helping women manifest their dreams.
