I started this podcast over three years ago with the very first episode on October 15, 2021. It was a Welcome episode that was 2 minutes long. With over 67 episodes to date, I’m excited to announce Season 4 of the podcast! I presented this question What else is possible? Bringing the question into the forefront of our consciousness without seeking out any answers from external sources. Having those answers coming from within. Really, it was invitation to YOU. asking yourself the question What else is possible? And seeing what magical and amazing possibilities show up!  I’ve often said in past episodes, “to do it messy and do it anyway” to keep discovering something new about yourself each and every day. To get curious about your life to get curious about YOU!  I feel it still rings true today…it’s why I created this podcast.  To create a platform where people could come together and ask themselves that question…What else is possible? Not just What else is Possible but What IS Possible? What joyful magic can we find along the way in discovering those Amazing Possibilities for our life?  It may evolve into something different along the way, a little more real & raw. Maybe I’ll have some more guests come on this season…but the message remains the same…. What Amazing Possibilities have you not considered in your life today?

“It is alright to destroy the things you love, but secretly hate. It may be necessary to do so.”  Book: The Way of the Rose  by Clark Strand & Perdita Fin I’ve closed my business…There. It’s now out into the Universe and for all ears that listen to this podcast. Closed. It. ALL. The LLC, the website, and the business bank account. Letting it ALL go for real. I feel all the things ALL at once. Sadness & disappointment, excitement & relief... A sense of peace I didn’t know I would feel.  Excitement of what’s to come, because it’s going to be something extraordinary right?! Wow. Now it’s officially REAL. It is with so much gratitude I feel that I say Thank you! Thank you To all who supported and encouraged me along my entrepreneurial journey. Those who listened when I was just feeling “stuck” in my business. Those who celebrated the exciting milestones along the way. And most importantly, Thank you to my business. Who taught me the greatest lesson of all…. That it is okay to have loved something and to let go of it, in order to make space in your heart for new dreams—then to never have had the experience in the first place.

Divine feminine energy reads the world through its heart. It reads the world through felt sense and love. We cannot be compassionate unless we fill ourselves with Divine Love. And we can’t heal unless we take in divine Love. We often focus so much on the masculine “doing” energy within our society. And It takes SOOOOOO much energy to do this. We become analytical, taking so much thought of what we’re doing and how we should be doing it all differently. Being still to receive LOVE. That Love that hits you at your heart center vs. your mind center. In those moments of receiving when the answers are there within us if we just stop and slow down to receive. When do you feel most at peace? When you’re not doing all the things? When you’re just being?  Wisdom is a knowing deep within all of us. When wisdom comes in—We KNOW Wisdom will allow the divine energy of you to flow, if you notice HER and give her space. Wisdom will bring from you the best parts of who you are…if you allow wisdom to bring her in. “Do not forsake wisdom she will protect you Love her and she will watch over you Cherish her and she will exalt you Embrace her and she will honor you She will give you a garland and grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.” -Unknown Allow that wisdom to flow through you. Up to the crown chakra and allow the energy to move completely through you. Soak that wisdom in. Wisdom is powerful. So much more powerful than our thinking mind. It’s what we bring as humans on this Earth. It is the wisdom within you that will guide change throughout this world. When we allow the wisdom in and we allow it to guide us. When we put down the armor to let that wisdom in, your light in, all that kindness, compassion and love will flow through you. That energy changes things. As you heal, the world heals without you even realizing it. What Amazing Possibilities and Wisdom have you not considered in your life today?

Start with the basics: Remember why you started your journey. Why are you doing what you’re doing in the first place? Do you remember that very first spark of inspiration that led you to where you are now? With our regular activities day in and day out, sometimes we lose sight of this and we start feeling lost, uninspired, and unmotivated.   Try to look inward and figure out why you’re feeling the way you are feeling. Some people in the coaching industry would say “Reconnect with your WHY?” But I’m not going to say that here, and the reason being is because maybe your WHY has shifted & changed. Maybe that’s a step you don’t really need to do in order to have clarity & peace of mindIs it because you no longer have a passion for what you’re doing? Did you start that project or business for the right reasons? Write down your thoughts in a journal (be truthful to yourself!) Evaluate and self-reflect! Seeing it all clearly written down might be all that you need to remind yourself of why you started in the first place and help you get back into the swing of things. Be kind to yourself: give yourself a little bit of grace. do your best not to be too hard on yourself for not feeling inspired anymore. Maybe you’ve shifted directions. Take a break to recharge: Maybe it’s a day, a week, a month or even a year. If you’re feeling unmotivated, all you may really need is just a small little break to recharge and feel like yourself again.   Make sure that self-care is a priority in your life is important and regular self-care activities can put you in a much better mental state of mind.  Try something New! Maybe you need to take up a new hobby, or try something you never saw yourself doing in a million years. Discover something brand new about yourself, and see what kind of Amazing Possibilities show up! “ Stay true to your path and grounded in your inner wisdom. You are the light that is meant to keep shining in this word.” -Kristine McGlinchey-Yap Connect with Carmen www.amazingpossibilityenergyhealing.com IG @discoveramazingpossibilities **Disclaimer** The concept What Else is Possible? is not something I created nor do I take credit for creating this concept.

I invite you to lean into the discomfort. Whatever that looks like to you. Transformation is the evolutionary journey of the soul Surrender to what is  Let go of what was Have faith in what will be "In order to get the most out of life we must learn consciously to change many of our habitual thought patterns. This is not easy, for our old thought patterns cling to us with great tenacity, but being thought patterns, they can be reversed.  If you are filled with fear, refill yourself with faith, for faith always overcomes fear."  -Ernest Holmes Connect with Carmen www.amazingpossibilityenergyhealing.com IG @discoveramazingpossibilities **Disclaimer** The concept What Else is Possible? is not something I created nor do I take credit for creating this concept.

I was gonna quit. I was gonna close up shop forever, dust off my hands and say “Well I tried my best.” Because that was the easier thing to do. Because that was what I was familiar with the most. With 2 failed businesses, I feared (still do) success. I honestly felt absolutely NO motivation, no drive and definitely no inspiration whatsoever.  You see when you begin to feel disconnected to something, someone or somewhere your energy tanks in a hurry. You begin to feel less like yourself and when that happens for too long you begin to just accept it. To accept “That’s just how life is.” Well, I’m here to tell you NO IT IS NOT! If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. I don’t know where that saying comes from but it’s pretty on the nose if you ask me. Sharing your gifts with the world doesn’t always mean you have to show up like everyone else and build a business. It just so happens, that’s what I wanted to do. So thank you for being here.

In this solo episode, I share reflections on recent world events, my 1-year Business Milestone coming up and releasing what not longer serves you! Growing, evolving, and changing it up every so often is a GOOD thing!Yes, do the research. But....you also don't have to show up and do it how everyone else is doing it. In fact, you'll probably end up out of alignment. Show up as your most authentic & true self and you can't go wrong!Allow space for the things you'll need to release and let go of as you grow and evolveAlways, Always, Always remember that this new phase you are entering is Just for now and you can ALWAYS change your mind!

Today is a bonus solo-episode! Why is self-recognition and self-praise such an obstacle for me? A friend of mine, Kitty Gonzalez put into a great frame of reference! It's not really the obstacle or that you are in a rut. But maybe it has more to do with the fact that you aren't honoring your core values in that moment.
