How can we be more intentional with our words? The word ‘impeccable’ actually means ‘without sin’ and this is in fact The First Agreement in the book: be impeccable with your word.&nbsp;For the next four episodes, Kara will be unpacking the book, The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz. Our words carry great power: they have the power to heal, transform, and create. Understanding how we can be impeccable with our word is a journey.Is a voice of negativity dictating the direction of your life? What does your internal dialogue look like? Learning to name the negative voice in your head is the start you can make to identify your negative thoughts and nip them in the bud.Additionally, Kara also unpacks the impact that our words have on others whether they are present or not. How can we become more intentional in every conversation with our word choice? If you knew that you could heal people with your words, how does that allow you to show up differently in every conversation?&nbsp;Please enjoy a breath of fresh air and positivity as we wind down 2024 with a philosophical and spiritual message that will resonate with all. We all have the power to heal with our words.&nbsp;“How can we make a conscious choice to say: ‘I am being impeccable with my word’? Not only with other people but also with the words that I speak to myself.” ~ Kara Chaffin DonofrioIn This Episode:How do we speak to ourselves?Understanding our own self-doubt (and how we can transcend that)Naming the negative personHow can we show up differently (by preparing differently) with our loved ones?Making the agreement impeccable with our wordResources:The Four Agreements (book) - The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)Jordan Peterson - Jordan PetersonBrad Lea - Brad LeaConnect with Kara:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/&nbsp;Email - [email protected] - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/karachaffin1YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraChaffinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin

How do you create from soul? And more specifically, when it comes to our business, how do we learn to trust our intuition and fuse a divine sense of knowing into the work that we do?Listeners of Soul Inspiring Business are in for a treat this episode as Kara is in conversation with her business coach and mentor, Jen Cudmore.&nbsp;Jen is an ‘Entrepreneur Alignment and High Level Success Coach’, or a ‘Business Kinesiologist’ – she uses her healing powers to help people bridge the gap between their life purpose and money-making ambitions.&nbsp;Today we learn that there isn't actually a gap to be bridged! Rather we should imagine how we show up in the world (and the work that we do), and our material ambitions (how we plan to make money), as two separate train tracks, running parallel with each other, both needing their own care and separate attention.Or to put it more succinctly in Jen's words, "Manifest money. Making a difference." Full stop. Separate sentences.&nbsp;Learn how to get in 'flow' with your business so that things come more naturally to you in this seminal episode that will surely help shift things for you in your personal, business, and spiritual life.&nbsp;There's also a powerful energy-clearing meditation with Jen at the end of the episode that you can listen to whenever you feel the need.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you would like to go back and listen to Kara's first interview with Jen, you find the episode entitled 'Connecting to Your Core Essence in Business with Jen Cudmore' or by checking the link below.

How can you be the highest expression of yourself? And how can you do that in a way that creates maximum impact for the greater good of humanity and the people you serve?&nbsp;Kara is asking the big philosophical questions of us today as we look to course correct by creating time and space to consider where there is room for improvement in our lives.&nbsp;Welcome to the 4th quarter and the growth and expansion season that is upon us as we look forward to 2024! This is a time of reflection where we get to look back on what has worked well, as well as what we can improve upon.Kara is back from the Soul Inspiring Business Retreat that was held recently in Colorado. With her, she is bringing the lessons, insights, and inspiration that she gleaned from her time away that she has distilled into the four top takeaways as we seek to create our vision for 2024.&nbsp;How are we showing up energetically? How do we go about dreaming into a bigger vision, and how do you train your team on that so that they show up with the right intentionality and purpose?How do we get into bigger rooms with bigger thinkers, avoiding the negative, small-minded thinking that might be holding us back?&nbsp;Who do we share our vulnerabilities with as we learn that empathy and compassion are the keys to our growth? And lastly, how do we create the time and space required to serve our highest good, on a daily basis, without having to go on a retreat to see our bigger picture?With the wind in her sails, Kara is here to blow meaning and infuse inspiration into your 4th quarter with four philosophical insights that can be practically applied to you and your business. May you continue to grow and expand, no matter what is going on in the world.&nbsp;"Energy is everything." ~ Kara Chaffin DonofrioIn This Episode:How are we 'showing up' with the right intentionality?&nbsp;Why your 'net worth' is determined by your network'No matter what is going on in the world, my business continues to grow and expand'Appreciating the opportunity that being vulnerable and open to growth offers usLearning how to take time away from your business to see the bigger pictureHow can you be the highest expression of yourself?Connect with Kara:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/&nbsp;Email - [email protected] - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/karachaffin1YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraChaffinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin

What does it mean to find yourself at a crossroads in life? This is a theme that has cropped up a lot recently with the people that Kara has encountered: people who are looking for more balance in their careers or in search of a new direction.The power of personal intuition is delicately addressed by Kara in this timely reminder that often when we go in search of the 'expert' to offer us advice, we ignore our own inner wisdom and guidance.&nbsp;Sometimes we put that self-help guru or friend on a pedestal and take their advice when it's actually not what we need at that time. Sometimes we take someone else's advice because it's easier than listening to our gut and showing true discernment.&nbsp;Trust in the 'asking' next time you find yourselves at a crossroads. Clarity for what you want is found in the asking.

How do we show up in the world in an authentic way that allows us to create impact and make a difference in the lives of others? And can we do that while also setting big financial goals?&nbsp;In today's insightful episode of Soul Inspiring Business, Kara is sharing a way of viewing money and the way we show up to earn that money as two distinctly different things. If you've ever had someone try to sell you something from a place of desperation, you will understand and appreciate the distinction that Kara is asking us to make.Drawing on some of the philosophies of her business energy coach and friend, Jen Cudmore, Kara is first drawing our attention to the fact that energy is everything.&nbsp;Energy has the power to transform and/or destroy, which relates in turn to how we show up in the world. The energy we bring to our work can either magnify or nullify what we are already doing.And in an increasingly overwhelming AI world, bringing your authentic soul and a higher level of vibrational frequency is what will set you up for increased success.&nbsp;Dividing your energetic intention between your money goals and the way you intend to create impact is the secret to success that Kara has personally experienced.So how does she do it exactly? And how can you? Please join us to learn the three conscious creation techniques that Kara applies to her money goals and how she wants to show up in the world in this eloquent and impactful episode of Soul Inspiring Business that will soon have you enjoying your manifesting walks while marveling at the synchronicity and abundance of all that is on offer for you.&nbsp;&nbsp;"You are a magnet for the things that you are in energetic alignment to." ~ Kara Chaffin DonofrioIn This Episode:Appreciating the power of manifestationAn introduction to the work of Jen CudmoreSeeing money and the work you do as two separate entitiesThe value in doing business where our interests are in alignment with those of our clientsKara shares her mindset process for choosing her money goalHow does Kara serve her clients to best make a difference?The profound joy of a manifesting walkExploring meditation and journaling techniques for conscious connectionWhy the clarity and specificity of manifesting exactly what you want is importantHow do you show up ‘in the work’ in a way that's going to make the biggest difference?Three questions to ask yourself each morning (when looking to create impact in your work):What are the key items that I need to get done today to move the business forward toward growth?What needs my attention the most today?Where can I make the greatest impact (in my business, with my clients, with my team, and in the world)?Resources:Jen Cudmore’s Instagram - Jen Cudmore (@jencudmorebusinessenergycoach) • Instagram photos and videosKara’s Guided Meditation Technique - https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/accessing-inner-wisdom-magnifying-your-purpose/id1531394230?i=1000622498948Kara’s Manifestation Episode - <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/the-surest-way-to-manifest-everything-you-want-more/id1531394230?i=1000523445364" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

In today’s show, I’ll share a powerful exercised and visualization technique that allows you to both ground into the present moment and also access your own intuition and the wisdom that lives in and around of us all the time.&nbsp;Whether you’re conscious of it or not…you are a powerful creator…you are also capable of accessing an inner wisdom that already knows all the right answers for you in each moment…answers that allow you to move forward in your business and life from the place of your own highest potentiality. Imagine how expansive that could be…if you operated from that place of knowingHowever, too often…we turn outside for answers b/c we either are not aware incredibly powerful we are or we dont know how to access our own intuitive guidance system.So today I’m sharing with you a very simple practice that I hope will give you the confidence to return home to you…to your highest potentiality…and to levels of infinite intelligence.&nbsp;It’s also important to mention that intuition is actually a muscle that improves the more we learn to trust and use it. Self doubt can be normal when opening to trusting your own inner guidance, and as you continue to return to this practice..you will become more aware and attuned to the guidance that lives within you and what it is trying to message to you….And it all starts now…“I do believe that in each of us, we have such infinite power, and opportunity, and expansion potential.” ~ Kara Donofrio&nbsp;In This Episode:Appreciating the power of our own intuitionLearning to discern what information to filter out&nbsp;The value of tools (such as meditation) for helping us come back into alignmentHow being grounded can help us be more present to access a universal intelligenceKara’s Grounding Technique – A DemonstrationConnect with Kara:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/&nbsp;Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/karachaffin1YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/KaraChaffinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin&nbsp;

How do super-wealthy families keep accruing more wealth, generation after generation? What is the secret that the rest of all seem to be missing out on? M.C. Loubscher is the host of the popular podcast Cash Flow Ninja, and founder of Producer’s Wealth, which helps business owners operate a cashflow management system known as the Infinite Banking Concept.M.C. know the secrets of the super-rich and he’s generously sharing his strategies, tactics, and techniques to invest your money more wisely so that you create genuine Sovereignty, Freedom, and Legacy with the money you earn and invest.&nbsp;This may sound too good to be true, but the real truth is that family offices that have been around since the Civil War era have survived more than their fair share of financial crises. As M.C. is at pains to point out, why do family offices buy as much life insurance as their carriers will underwrite them?&nbsp;M.C. goes on to remind us that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself. So ask yourself: is your money really working for you? And how reliant are you on a central banking system that is prone to global economic pressure?There’s a better way to invest your money through family offices that is M.C.’s Infinite Banking system. This episode of Soul Inspiring Business bridges the information and will bring great value to you, our dear listener. That’s a promise. Please join us.“It’s easy from a mindset perspective to get sucked into the doom and gloom and fall into that scarcity mindset.

Are you struggling with burnout? Do you understand what adrenal fatigue practically means? Today’s guest is Dr. Erin Kinney, a naturopathic doctor, speaker, coach, and podcast host of The Dr. Kinney Show. She is passionate about helping others understand their bodies and is in conversation with Kara today about how to prevent burnout and cope with anxiety.&nbsp;When you wake up feeling like you are ready to take on the day, you have an appropriate amount of cortisol and adrenaline coursing through your body. After all, we are designed to cope with some stress. If that’s not the case, it’s because we keep pushing our body’s "on" button, not giving it time to ‘rest and digest’ after a period of exertion (when we’re in ‘fight or flight’ mode).&nbsp;Being stuck in ‘stress mode’ isn’t sustainable in the long term. While our bodies can carry us for a long time, it’s wisest to prevent burnout by taking some enjoyable, proactive steps that allow your body time to recover and relax.&nbsp;Dr. Kinney’s tips will go a long way toward helping you enjoy a more stress-free life, where you can manifest your full potential and become a more expansive version of yourself.&nbsp; This episode is just the tonic you need to unwind after a busy day.&nbsp;“I think more than ever now, given the past three years that we’ve been in this weird post-pandemic life, burnout is more common.” ~ Dr. Erin KinneyIn This Episode:What do we mean by adrenal fatigue? Understanding cortisol and adrenalineIs anxiety a symptom of burnout?The value of meditating five minutes a day to build up cortisolHow the simple things make the biggest differenceThe joy of daydreaming as a form of intentional meditationWhy manifesting is so much harder when you’re in a burnout stateHow do get to the bigger, more expansive version of ourselves?Are there any apps that Dr. Kinney recommends?Why magnesium is so important to function properlyResources:&nbsp;Joe DiSpenza books - https://drjoedispenza.com/collections/books&nbsp;Insight Timer - https://insighttimer.com/Brain Tap - https://braintap.com/Connect with Dr. Erin Kinney:Website - https://drerinkinney.com/Connect with Kara:Website - http://www.kcdrealestate.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/karachaffindonofrio/Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/karachaffin1<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/karachaffin/"...

Have you been involved in conversations about AI that have left you wondering how it’s likely to affect your job? There’s a lot of new information out there that can seem overwhelming at times, and today’s guest, Leo Chen (former tech industry expert turned Orange County realtor), is in conversation with Kara about the future of AI in a lighthearted way that makes it seem less daunting for us.Especially if you find yourself in the real estate industry, the opportunity exists to embrace AI as a tool to experiment with, rather than seeing it as a threat. AI will never be able to do the handholding that real estate agents are so great at when interacting with new clients. But can it assist you with conceptualizing a marketing campaign, or telling a story?&nbsp;From Leo’s background as a Taiwanese immigrant to his successful career in tech, Leo Chen brings a warm sensibility to today’s topic as he dances to his own tune while encouraging us to do the same as we use AI as a sounding board in the latest ‘great revolution’ we are fortunate enough to be living through.

What happens when the high-achieving life you've been living starts to feel empty? When the narratives and stories you've told yourself fall away, and the rules you've believed no longer make sense? You might well be subconsciously welcoming in your 'purpose years.'&nbsp;This was the case with Jessica Huie, who'd transformed her life from being a teen mum in a council flat to a woman who was traveling the world, visiting places she'd never heard of, while working as a successful publicist.Her father's cancer diagnosis proved to be the catalyst for her finding her purpose beyond just being a workaholic. It has led to the highly acclaimed book Purpose, which has given birth to the Purpose community and Purpose retreats.In this episode of Soul Inspiring Business, Kara chats with Jessica about how we figure out what our unique gifts are, and how we can use them in our business. It's about morning intentions and evening clearings—a heartening conversation between two firstborns who have realized that you can't let your perceived success define you.
