Recognizing Golden Opportunities With Intuition Major transformation can often take place after great destruction in our life. But, that’s not TRULY necessary IF we are listening to the whispers that come to us from the Universe/Source (whatever you want to call that powerful force). It means that we have to listen to our innate intuition and really be in touch with it; this is often where we get stuck. In this episode, host, Natalie Viglione, and her guest, Raquel Vasallo, an author and spiritual advisor to female visionaries and leaders, weave through the following insights: - When you receive whispers from the universe, listen right away (don’t wait!) - Avoiding disasters and trauma by getting quiet and still - Finding the golden opportunities in everything (even a Near Death Experience!) - How to learn to say YES to your purpose (even when there’s fear to step into that power) - Why deprogramming is necessary to comprehend awakening and transformation (and what it means for your life and business) - How the divine feminine energy equates to FLOW and is available to everyone (gender is not attached to these energies) ...and more! ------ FIND OUT MORE HERE: www.natalieviglione.com

Trauma catches us by surprise. Rarely do we plan for the events that can cause us great pain. Being a badass can mean that you push beyond trauma without being connected to the outcome of what happens to the person (or persons) who may have caused that trauma. The power of letting go to move beyond is a courageous place to reside. In this episode, we dive into Diane McDermott's story and her ability to move into a space of power that has helped her to move beyond the trauma that she faced in March of 2019. Her story is an amazing example of the power that we hold in the ability to CHOOSE and the art of ALLOWING to feel and dive into the depths of our emotions and then move beyond to grow and evolve. ------ FIND OUT MORE HERE: www.natalieviglione.com

In our eyes, a truly successful integrated business model is when we get to go out and really live the life that we want to, as opposed to getting trapped in the one that fuels a “what can I buy now” or when’s the next big earn-out or big buyout mindset. Being focused on getting more STUFF is a desire that doesn’t get satisfied, and sometimes the sacrifices made truly aren't worth it. To dive into this concept further, Host & Creator, Natalie, and fellow lifestyle entrepreneur & guest, Matt Andersen, CPA, dissect the following nuggets of wisdom together: ~Why the endless pursuit of “more and more” is a major stressor in people’s lives and why the expensive name-brand or “new thing” doesn’t create joy ~Why living a blended lifestyle where you’re allowed to live the “retirement lifestyle” at ANY age and get fulfillment through work equates to freedom ~How essential it is to live our Truth and when we do so, this allows the energy of money to follow and other things we need to easily flow in ~Why the shared economy/gig economy is the NOW and the future How this past year has fast-tracked us into all of finding Truth and is a HUGE opportunity + MORE! ------ FIND OUT MORE HERE: www.natalieviglione.com

This is a vision of our planet where humans live in nature in a way that meets human needs but does not degrade the Earth's natural systems.
