Last week I sat down with  my magical friend, Rakai'el Webb, (formerly Rachael, which you will hear me refer to her as in the episode).

I've watched a beautiful transformation in Rakai'el over the last year as she has embraced her full magical self. She is a living example as to how  when we stop hiding and embrace who we are, magic is really possible.

In the episode we discuss:

  • What it means to "Come out of the magic closet..."
  • A manifestation practice for financial abundance
  • Affirmations for more magic and  manifestation
  • How Rakai'el cured her autoimmune disease through a Vision Quest

Rakai'el Webb is a Spiritual Coach & Business Advisor who works with creatives & entrepreneurs who long to find the clarity and the courage to let their magic out.  She is passionate about merging the worlds of business and spirituality during this powerful time of shift on our planet.  Rachael is an internationally known Clairsentient with a Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a Doctor of Metaphysics, and an Ordained Minister.

Have you ever met someone where you just felt like you knew him or her even if you've never met before?

This is how I felt when I met yoga teacher and retreat leader, Sarah-Jane Perman.  Sarah-Jane wandered into a workshop I was leading at Burning Man and the whole time I kept wondering, "How do I know this person?"  

After the workshop, we chatted and found we had lots to talk about.  I discovered Sarah-Jane was on a mission to open people's hearts around the world by leading goddess retreats from Australia to Bali, to Tulum, Nicaragua and beyond.

I was immediately drawn to her positivity and ability to trust in the universe, so I invited her to an interview on the Rising Women Leaders podcast. 

In this episode we talk about: 

  • Tips and rituals Sarah-Jane uses to tune into her intuition
  • How she left a job as a marketing director on Australia's Next Top Model at Warner Brothers to follow her dream of teaching yoga, traveling to epic locations and leading retreats
  • What it means to live "An Open Heart Life"
  • Insights on the awakening of our collective consciousness and the importance of sisterhood

"She took a leap and built her wings on the way down."

This week on the Rising Women Leaders podcast, I interviewed yoga teacher and published author, Kimber Simpkins. 

I met Kimber when we were teaching yoga at the same studio in Berkeley three years ago.  I instantly fell in love with her classes, her singing with the harmonium, and her passion of writing.

Since I've known Kimber, she finished writing her book, self-published it, and then signed a contract to re-release it with a national publisher.  Her book, Full: How I learned to Satisfy My Insatiable Hunger and Feed My Soul, is now available online and in bookstores across the country.  Her next book, 52 Ways to Love Your Body is officially coming out in January.

As a writer and yoga teacher myself, I was excited to sit down with Kimber and hear more about her story, how she published her first book, and what role vulnerability and self-love played in the process.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Daily practices to love our body
  • One of Kimber's favorite meditation practices from Pema Chodron
  • How we've been inspired by Brene Brown and the concept of Daring Greatly
  • How she wrote and published her first book
  • Kimber's upcoming yoga & writing retreat at Orr Hotsprings (I'm excited to be there, and there are a couple spots left!)

Kimber leaves us with the question, "What is one thing you can do today to show your body that you care?"

I'd love to hear what you'll do in the comments.

You can learn more about Kimber, her upcoming retreats and  30 Day Love Your Body Course   here. 

With love, Meredith

  • The four areas of partnership and what to look for in your ideal relationship

 Welcome to the Rising Women Leaders podcast!

“If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it—through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself. Tell the world you are one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.” ~ Victoria Moran

It's time to celebrate all we are and all we came to do. 

I see an awakening in women all around me, especially in the sweet, kind and nurturing ones who are ready to stand up, express themselves and share their voice.

But, I know from personal experience a lot can get in the way when we step up to lead. I myself struggled with sharing my voice as a more timid and sensitive being. However, the world needs more women connected to their soft sensitive nature who are willing to be vulnerable to step up and accurately represent the needs of our world.

I believe you do not need to change who you are to lead, you just need to be supported to face your fears and listen to your intuition to make a bigger impact. 

So...I have created my first PODCAST series for  Rising Women Leaders.

I will be sharing insights on how to step into courage, self-love, and leadership while staying true to our feminine nature.

I'll also be interviewing leaders and entrepreneurs about how they've faced their fears, created magic in their lives and grown their businesses.

The first episode is now live!

SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES

In the first  episode,  Fearless Feminine Confidence,   I share:

  • My personal story: how I overcame my fears of public speaking to become a teacher and a leader.
  • Why I created Rising Women Leaders and what my vision for this sisterhood.
  • My top tips on how to tap into fearless and feminine energy to be a leader, teacher and entrepreneur.

With love, Meredith
