140 Answering the Call Within

That inner voice is calling to you – will you answer? Inside each of us is the call of the Goddess, or as I like to say, a purpose; something we were all meant to do and meant to be. This call is powerful beyond measure, and if you listen to it and really pay attention to what is being told to you, it will not only guide your life, but provide the opportunity, too. This has manifested for me in creating PurposeGirls – my calling is to inspire, and to light women up. Today’s incredible, passionate, brilliant guest has listened to her calling – as she says – from the moment she could think.

Nicole Ansari is an award-winning actor, director, writer and producer who has been living her purpose since before she even knew it was an active decision to do so. When you live in alignment, the opportunities come – and Nicole is the living example of that happening.

In this episode, Nicole and I talk about:

  • Nicole’s incredible journey of discovering her calling, answering the damn phone, and living it every day.
  • How to learn to understand the signals you are getting – both internal and external – so you can find and live in your own calling and purpose.
  • Positive evidence of someone who has found success – even in a potentially challenging industry! – living in her purpose, so you know you can also live in yours.
  • Juicy details about Nicole’s newest project:

 

About Nicole Ansari:

Nicole Ansari’s professional life began in her teens as an actor in Tatort, an iconic German Cop TV series. Ansari studied with the late legendary Uta Hagen, of HB Studios, with Susan Batson at the Actors Studio in NYC and at the Stage School of Dance and Drama in Hamburg. After two feature films for German TV, her first professional engagement was with the Repertory company Neumarkt Theater in Zurich. Following this, she joined the famed Théâtre du Soleil under the direction of Ariane Mnouchkine, in Paris and on a European tour. Her next steps led to being a guest star at the Public Theatre in Vienna in leading roles, multiple arthouse movies and TV shows, including HBO’s Deadwood. She continued on to London’s West End and Broadway, performing with her husband Brian Cox, and eventually creating a home base in New York.

Ansari co-produced two feature Films; “Blumenthal”, a comedy in the New York Theatre world, starring her husband Brian Cox and the thriller “As Good As Dead” with Andy McDowell. Adding to her CV as Co-producer + director, is the short documentary “Padim at PS3” about the Arts program in a NYC public school and the web series “Messy”. Messy has garnered numerous awards on the festival circuit including Best Director and Best Dramedy at the British Web Awards; Best Web Series at the NY International Film Awards, and best Web Series at the Chicago Independent Film Awards. As a director, Nicole also worked with the Rubin Museum of Art and NY Women in Film.

Ansari’s lifelong interest in the healing arts brought her to study and train with some of the great teachers of our time. She is a certified Yoga Therapist, Kundalini Yoga, Pre and Postnatal Yoga Instructor, a Life Coach, Theta healing practitioner and a feminine movement teacher. She also has an online Hemp business.

Storytelling, for her, is a healing art and she has been merging her interests in helping others to live a passionate life fueled by their wild, authentic self. Nicole has created ACTORS RISING, a program for actors and speakers merging the spiritual path with the Arts. Connect at http://www.nicoleansari.com

139 The Power of Sisterhood

If you ever feel alone, or wish you had different relationships with women or just crave sisterhood, you need to listen to this episode. I get down with two of my clients/soul sisters/friends – Diana Ringquist and Jennifer Wellington – and talk everything sisterhood. We share our wounds around being connected to other women – and how powerful and healing it is to be with the right women. Each of them joined my women’s groups hesitant but found Sisterhood lifesaving (literally – as you’ll hear in the episode).

We dish all things women’s groups (they both went on to start their own women’s groups after being in mine!), how sisterhood changed their professions, helped them go after dreams, and improved their other relationships, and what it’s like to coach with me.

So in this episode you will:

  • Learn what to do when you feel alone
  • Hear about how to move past old sisterhood wounds – wounds from other women
  • Learn the key phrase to move from fear to full on Purpose action when you’re afraid
  • Identify your tribe
  • Understand how your purpose is unique from others
  • Feel uplifted, warm, and happy from hearing genuine love and friendship

 

About Diana Ringquist:

Diana Ringquist is the founder of The Modern Goddess Project, a community designed to support women to find their voices, uncover their desires and strengths, share their unique genius, and create their own uniquely Extraordinary Lives through living fully awake, fully alive, and loving ourselves and our lives wholly!  Diana is a coach, artist, author, and speaker and uses her skills and networking superpower to connect women into a larger whole and to themselves and those around them. Diana has an eclectic, artistic, creative life in which she pursues multiple interests and experiences, lifelong education opportunities, and has chosen to live everywhere in the world by changing countries and continents every few years along with her family, two dogs, and her cat.

138 Thank You, 2020 – A Guided Meditation

2020 has been an incredible year of transformation for so many of us. It forced us to feel pain and loss and grief and loneliness and fear. It also has challenged us to adapt and be resilient – to find hope and joy in small places and to make active connection with people all over the globe. 2020 will be a year to remember. One that historians and scientists and activists will write about and study for generations. One our children will tell their children about.

So, for all the bad 2020 has provided, there was – I would argue – just as much good if you were committed to finding it. And in today’s very special episode, I guide you through a meditation on the year 2020. I lead you through thinking about all that was good about the year 2020, and help you process the challenges it left you with. It will allow you to find the gifts and set the foundations for an amazing 2021. There are also many journal prompts that you can utilize as you listen, and also to reuse all the time to help you find the joy in your day to day life.  

I hope that this meditation proves helpful for you, and that it gives you some peace.

I wish you and your family and friends the best, safest, healthiest, most joyful new year celebration and year beyond. I pray that you continue to find the courage, passion, wisdom, strength, and connection that you uncovered this year.

Happy New Year, my love.

May 2021 truly be that for you: happy.

XO,
