Episode 151: Lynne Twist - Living A Committed Life

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Lynne's early professional life led her to a chance encounter of meeting Buckminster Fuller, which changed the trajectory of her life. In this fantastic episode, Lynne shares her understanding of this time of the Divine Feminine and how living a life of commitment has shaped her life, her vision for women, and the future of humanity.

Lynne is naming the energy coming through at this time: The Sophia Century and what this means for humanity at this time of evolutionary change.
We are the ancestors of an age to come, and all of us that are here at this time have an extraordinary opportunity to make an impact- more than ever before in human history.
How women can meet the dominance of the patriarchy, and how we can ignite a new age of feminine leadership.
Why Men long to activate more of the feminine leadership model in their lives.
How Jack Canfield, friend, and author of Chicken Soup for The Soul, encouraged Lynne to write her new book almost 20 years after the incredible success of The Soul of Money - which is still to this day is considered one of the most visionary and best-selling books.
Living a committed life has inspired and informed Lynne's understanding of what makes ordinary people extraordinary.
For people living at this time in history, humanity is being called forth to be the stewards and midwives of the world to come as our systems and structures fall apart - education, governance, health, education, and climate are all in crisis, and the "mess of the world" can be overwhelming. Lynne's antidote is to live what she is calling "a committed life" in service to a purpose larger than yourself.
Lynn's book is designed to meet the moment of our time and engage people in stepping more fully into our own lives and to reveal our unique gift that is only ours to give.
Why the universe loves commitment, and why the universe loves when we endeavor to do something larger than we feel capable of.
What happens to us at a cellular level when we hear someone speak about their commitments?
How meeting Buckminster Fuller and hearing his story changed the trajectory of Lynne's life and awakened her at the deepest level.
How one ordinary individual can change the world.
How most people think of commitment is backward. Rather than being a burden, commitment liberates us and gives us freedom and fulfillment in ways we never thought possible.
Hear Lynne Talk about some of her darkest times - times she wanted to give up.
Why it's so important that we stay in proximity to suffering, and don't turn away from those who are suffering.

Lynne Twist is unstoppable in achieving her commitments, but she does so with humility, open-hearted grace, and ruthless enthusiasm. She is boundlessly generous—with her time, inspiration, and even her own home.

She does not distinguish between those deserving of her love and attention and those who are not: all are welcome and appreciated for who they are in her land, and She reigns with love, laughter, and dance, and she loves to celebrate the good in the world.

Lynne Twist is a global visionary and activist committed to creating an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just future. She is the co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance, the founder of the Soul of Money Institute, and the author of the bestselling book The Soul of Money, Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life, and her forthcoming book Living a Committed Life - Finding Freedom and Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger Than Yourself.

Episode 65: Robin Winn - Born By Design

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0500

I adored this interview and I’ve been geeking out on Human Deign now for weeks and can’t seem to get enough, and I have Robin Winn to thank!

In addition to being a fabulous facilitator and coach Robin has written two amazing and relatable books on the subject of Human Design that make it so easy and enjoyable to understand this technology and apply it to your life.
I highly recommend to anyone who has not yet heard of Human Design that you get your chart downloaded, which you can do in a matter of minutes as long as you know your birth time, date, and place. Then, once you know what you are, head on over to Instagram and we can geek out, together!

Robin Winn is a best-selling author of understanding your clients through human design, the breakthrough technology, and understanding the centers in human design, the facilitator's guide to transforming pain into possibility.

Twenty-five years into her work as a licensed marriage and family therapist, she was introduced to human design as a way to more deeply understand herself and her clients, this transformational knowledge marked a turning point, opening a door of compassion and empowering her work in surprising and unexpected ways.

Robin is a writer, speaker, transformational, coach, founder, and director of the training programs. Understanding yourself through human design and understanding your clients through human design. She lives on Maui with her wife yarrow. Hey Robin. Hey Monica. Thanks for having me. Oh, I'm so happy to have you.

Human design is a terma up. I don't know if you're familiar with it, the word terma, but it's in Tibet and Buddhism. They said that certain information was hidden until the right time that people could understand it and use it.
It was brought to us in 1989, relatively recently that it showed up as this fellow, this Canadian was off the coast of Spain came back. He was on a retreat, came back to his cabin and these light beings. Downloaded the information to him- for humanity, for the evolution of humanity.
Most importantly, Human Design is for parents to parent their children because in human design, each person is a piece of a gigantic puzzle. And when you're living your piece, You bring what you're here to bring. You're happy. The world benefits. If you're trying to live somebody else's piece, it's kind of like a curse you're miserable.
Human Design works with 64 hexagrams of the iching which is for those of you who aren't familiar, it's an ancient Chinese divination system that has 64 hexagrams each hexagram has six lines.
In human design, it’s a curse not to love your unique puzzle piece- meaning, a self-imposed curse, like a tragedy.
In human design, we have channels, open centers, and defined centers
There are 5 types in Human Design: Reflector, Manifester, Projector, Manifesting Generator, Generator.
Generators are the “worker bee’s of humanity” and if they have a defines sacral center they have the privilege of constant energy, unless they are doing something that isn’t aligned with who they are, then they burn out.
We are designed to work together in unity and each of us has an important piece of the human puzzle. To be stronger as we come together to create a better world for all.

Episode 64: Laura Clark - Listening to the Signs

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0500

In this episode, Monica and Laura dive into the world of intuition and how our soul wisdom can read the signs that can lead us where we need to go.

Laura Clark is one of those beautiful souls you meet along the way that gently nudges you to look more deeply at the signs that are always within our view if we dare to look, trust and believe in them.

This interview was so fun because Laura and I love geeking out on signs. I loved sharing our intuitive hits with each other about the growth we’ve experienced as the mystery of our lives continually unfolds with grace, sass, and a whole lot of cosmic humor.

Do you see signs in your life? After this episode, you’d likely start seeing them everywhere!

You are welcome!

Laura Clark teaches you how to access your inner knowing and align with your purpose to live your truth purposefully and passionately.

Laura Clark is also a bestselling author, engaging speaker, and founder of the Wise Living Institute & Living Your truth Sisterhood. Laura champions others to awaken their purpose and inner wisdom, and to use them as a beacon in stepping confidently and courageously forward living one’s own truth.

As a sassy and spiritual guru, Laura believes everyone can step forward to a fuller, more joyful, and abundant life.

Show Notes:

Living your truth is really knowing yourself intimately - who you are, what your purpose is, and taking simple, and yet courageous steps forward, having that be your foundation.
Laura didn't have the picket fence or the two-car garage or the 3.1 children that everybody else told her that she was going to have in her life. She was following the path of others and wasn’t happy, which eventually led to depression.
When we are unbalanced it's because we are not allowing ourselves to follow our creative truths the way we want to, the way we are guided to. And so the depression came because she was ignoring what she really wanted to be doing, which forced Laura to start listening to her inner wisdom and guidance.
The golden thread of our life runs through each and every aspect of who we are and what we do. If you look for it, you’ll see it.
Sometimes we have to choose a path for ourselves that has no safety net so that we can’t retreat back into the comfort of what we knew. There’s wisdom in this.
If you are paying attention you can start to see the signs that can lead you in the direction you need to head in.
There are many different languages of listening. Sometimes signs are taps, subtle nuances, patterns, number sequences, animals showing up in our line of sight.
Signs can also come as cosmic 2x4s. If you are not listening and paying attention, they keep coming back with more and more force, to gain your attention.
Sometimes waiting is the answer and you just have to wait until more is revealed.
All of us have access to intuition, but like anything else, you have to practice and develop your relationship with it.
