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.

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. Heck, I reeeeaally didn’t trust my body for a while there - hello, 10 years of bulimia. Discover your body and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

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.

How to Keep Going (EVEN when You’re Seeing Results)

How often do you have a habit or a practice in place that feels SOOOOOOOO GOOD? I mean, doing this thing makes your body feel ALIVE, vibrant...AH-MAZING! But for some reason...somewhere along the way...you just...STOP. DOING. IT. What gives? Fear, duh. Typically, having coached high achieving entrepreneurs and leaders for the pase it’s just because we’ve lost the container of having a fear-based drive to do it. The problem was...YOU SAW RESULTS.

When Love and Leadership Make a Business Baby

Ever wonder why so many people fall out of love with their business? Or their job? Or their career? I mean, you studied for it. You trained for it. You probably achieved so much in it already.

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.

How to Answer the Dreaded Question, “What Do You Do?”

It’s the question most of my coaching clients dread… Clicking cocktail glasses and trying to confirm what you do onto a business card. Life coach? Kinda...I guess. Pilates instructor? Kinda.

It Was Always Meant to Be You

Why is it that so many people struggle and suffer from shoulding themselves? Where they should be. What they should be doing. How much they should be making. Why they should be farther along by now.

Discover how you can learn to enjoy the present moment and speed up your progress by kicking all the “should’s” to the curb.
