How to Become a Content Creation Queen

How to Become a Content Creation Queen

I don’t write content to write content. I don’t do it because I “have” to. I don’t make podcasts because it’s the latest coolest thing that all the “legit” coaches are doing. I didn’t start a Youtube channel to be cool or to get a Streamy or to be some “influencer.” I don’t send emails because I “need to stay in touch with my list.” Discover your ONLY reason and tap into your reign.

Harness the Power of Your Voice with Voice Coach, Cynthia Zhai

Have you struggled to speak up for yourself? Ever feel like you just...weren’t...being...heard? Ugh. It’s the world’s most frustrating feeling. I still struggle with it. That feeling like you’re screaming into the wind and all you’re receiving are crickets in return. Maybe it’s in your marketing messaging that’s just not...landing...or getting the reactions you expect. Maybe it’s with your body, like “Uh, hello body, I’m putting all this work into toning you down. You’re supposed to be losing weight not gaining, right?” Discover your voice and tap into your reign.

New Level, New Devil? The Truth About Self-Limiting Stories

Oops I did it again. Yes, I pulled a Brittany. No, I didn’t run off and get married...again. I caught myself doubting myself. #OhNoSheDidnt Yes, even now, even after the Universe mother-effing DELIVERED LIKE A MOFO last year in #alltheways, I still caught myself spiraling last week in a story of “not being supported.” Ah, fear. Doubt. My old friends. Good to see you again. Thanks for the lesson...again. Recognize your self-limiting beliefs and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

Stuck in Your Biz? Try THIS.

Stuck in Your Biz? Try THIS.

Flexible is flexible is flexible. As I share in this week’s Queen TV video, in 1989, Dr. Deepak Chopra in his book “Quantum Healing,” pointed out that you have neurotransmitters on EVERY SINGLE CELL IN YOUR BODY. Meaning… Every single cell in your body is constantly sending communication signals to your brain. And... Your brain is constantly sending signals to your body. This is literally the mind-body connection. Discover your body’s movements and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

Your Body Knows Before Your Brain Does

Have you ever had that GUT-sensation that felt like a warning...and you didn’t listen? It’s like watching a suspenseful horror movie and you KNOW not to go through that door. Maybe you even scream at the screen - but still, the character goes in...and, well, you KNOW what happens. 🤦🏼‍♀️ How many times has your “gut-brain” been sacrificed at the expense of “logic?” I’ll be honest, I didn’t always trust my intuition.

Think You’re a Failure? Sounds Like You’ve Got an Identity Crisis.

Having worked with high-achieving visionary leaders for the past 5 years now, I’ve seen so many entrepreneurs and leaders struggle with a MASSIVE identity crisis! Think about it.

I mean, which way is your subconscious mind supposed to go. Mixed messages to your subconscious mind = mixed results. Discover your true identity and tap into your reign.

"How does HE do it all" said no one.

"How does HE do it all" said no one.

Nearly a decade ago, after my first film, BRO, was released, I was doing the press and I got asked this question…. “Did you just write all the female roles? ” FROM A FELLOW FEMALE. It nearly knocked me to the floor. Now, sure, the content of the movie had a lot of motocross, drugs, sex, guns, and Danny Trejo in it...even my mom questioned how I knew so much about all those things. *insert whistling and looking the other way. hehe. * And sure, I was the only girl, let alone former-pageant girl, standing on stage with a production crew of all dudes, dressed up to the nines in my fancy blue dress and heels.

BABY GOT BACK

BABY GOT BACK

CONFESSION: I like big butts and I cannot lie. Well, I more so like the Sir Mix-a-Lot song. The REAL truth is, it’s my freaking go-to karaoke song. Yes, I know every word. And I bust it out like you would not imagine. Truly, a spectacle to behold. You’re welcome if you are blessed to see it. Recently it’s been in my head. Not because I’ve been going out hitting the karaoke bars - hellloooo, pregnant. But, because Declan’s been sticking his butt in the air, saying “Mama, look at my butt” as he shakes it for all to behold...I have no idea where he learned this. I mean this kid has NO inhibitions.

Twerk it to Werk, Werk, Werk, Werk, Werk it.

Twerk it to Werk, Werk, Werk, Werk, Werk it.

Did it bother you that I spelled “werk” wrong? I mean, I’m probably the WORST at grammar and correct spelling, but intentionally spelling a word wrong to be cool like Rhianna is both liberating and at the same time, I want to go back and fix the glaring spelling mistake...like, right now. Anyhow… It’s funny when you start to become hyper self-aware of your sh-tuff. As Dr. Gabor Mate says in his book, When the Body Says No - our book of the month for our Mindful Monarchs Members - “There is no true responsibility without awareness...People are deprived of the opportunity to become truly responsible...The more we can learn about ourselves, the less prone we are to become passive victims.” Discover your ROOT and tap into your reign.

523,600 minutes. The musical “Rent” has been playing on the backtrack of my mind since my dad died.

Bad Pain vs. Good Pain

Bad Pain vs. Good Pain

Oh it hurts so good - you know the feeling - when you’re totally crushing it in the gym. You push that extra mile. You do that ONE, LAST rep. You do 10X more sit ups because you’re just in the freaking zone. That is what we call good pain. Good pain comes from growth. It comes from that depth of soul, of your personal power, when you lean courageously in to go that extra mile. And it doesn’t just show up in the gym. I see it all the time in my client’s businesses.

Why Your Old Self Must Die for You to Live into Your Full Potential

Why Your Old Self Must Die for You to Live into Your Full Potential

I have been so grateful for all the comments, and it’s no wonder that this past week - heck, this past month, while both my parents got COVID, and then with my dad in the hospital, that I have had a lot of time to look at death from all angles.And you know what I saw...many.You die a thousand times if you live into your full potential.Every next level requires a next-level version of you, meaning some part of your, some old identity, MUST die in order to live fully in the life of your dreams.When I look back on the self-destructive, bulimic, 19-year old me, I don’t recognize myself in her anymore. I just see a sad, broken girl, searching for control and ultimately wholeness and love in all the wrong places.That version of me died.Discover the next-level version of you. and tap into your reign.
