Pleasure and The Law of Attraction with Bella Shing

Do you want to manifest more of what you want in your life?  

 


In this week’s podcast, I’m talking with Bella Shing, about pleasure and how it relates to the Law of Attraction.  Bella is an energy worker who has assisted over a thousand women over the years to become the love that they desire so often from others. She helps women to establish an unshakeable connection with their Inner Being, as what they are searching for is that consistent steady Source of unconditional love. Then by the law of attraction, the Universe unfolds and brings to them an abundance of love and magic in their every day lives.

 

Tune in as Bella reveals more about metaphysics, energy, and understanding the Law of Attraction, how to invite more alignment into your life, and how to manifest thru pleasure!

 

She shares some solid techniques on how to manifest, and how to get into alignment so you can enjoy more of what you desire.

 

“Modern science has discovered that the human nervous system tends to be hijacked by difficult experiences in one’s youth. And with social media, opportunities for stressors are magnified in our general consciousness. However, when using ancient and modern practices rooted in pleasure, the nervous system can be trained to expect safety, love, and belonging.

When this occurs, the body/mind consciousness becomes more of a vibrational match to one’s Soul and manifestations are more consistently magical, beautiful, life-giving and filled with bliss.” -Bella Shing

Bella’s life purpose is to help bring Heaven to Earth by assisting women to normalize the power of such alignment.

Adventure and Empowerment with Niki Koubourlis, CEO, Bold Betties

Tune into this week’s podcast episode as we jam on building confidence, how outdoor adventure leads to empowerment, why the world is not built for women and what we can do about it!

 

In this episode, I’m talking with Niki Koubourlis, a bold woman with an adventurous story to tell.  Niki inspires entrepreneurs, professionals, and the average Jane to find out what they’re passionate about and actualize their aspirations.

 

Up until 2012, every major life decision Niki made was motivated by a desire for security: the career she chose, the schools she went to and the man she married. But she wasn’t happy. In a quest to find purpose and passion, she left behind her job and her marriage and moved to Colorado where she began trying new things, seeing new places and making new friends.

 

That’s where she got the idea to start a business doing what she loves – helping women encounter the outdoors.

 

Providing a fresh outlook on embracing life as an entrepreneur, Niki now leads e-commerce startup, Bold Betties Outfitters, where she focuses on eliminating the barriers of entry to adventure travel and outdoor recreation and building a community of women to share adventures together.

 

Tune in as Niki reveals her story of sacrificing her personal life and health for a paycheck, and how she found herself on paper looking successful but feeling unfulfilled. 

She shares how she created Bold Betties to help women join in person, in real life, and grow their confidence in a supportive community, pushing their comfort zones thru outdoor adventure.

 

Discover how to take bold and brave steps to build your confidence, whether its dining out alone, or joining in a bold betties repelling adventure, how the world is literally built from a man’s perspective, and how we can overcome this.

“When I finally found my purpose I found complete alignment and I could be the same person no matter where I was. I felt more within my power than I ever had. I finally accepted the strengths of my femininity, it no longer was a drawback because I no longer was going into this male environment where I felt less than, where I felt like had to conform and behave and appear different than I was. For the first time, I relished my femininity and being a woman and all that that meant. And once you feel that way, that’s fire, that’s power. And the other thing beyond just yourself and being able to do that is again bonding with other women. Together we make fire.”  – Niki Koubourlis
