Debra and Molly share their thoughts on this week’s topic. 

Debra reads the Lioness Love Letter she created from her Moxie Affirmation this week: https://www.facebook.com/debra11/posts/10159664531543765

My dearest Lionesses and Friends,

I know you are weary. I am, too.

For years, I have enjoyed a morning ritual. When I wake up, I open my eyes, look out over the forest in my backyard, and have a chat with God. I pray for divine discernment to fill the hours ahead and also weave in these questions…

What work do you have for me today?
\nWho would you like me to bless?

Before the pandemic and mighty rising since the murder of George Floyd, I would smile and feel joy and excitement about what each hour would bring.

Now, I wake up and often tears flow as I ask these questions. Quite honestly, my joy has been replaced by sadness and sorrow and that excitement is more of a strong spiritual STIRRING.

However, my purpose, my tenacious perseverance, and the courage to do hard things with and for my beloveds have not swayed or faded.

In fact, I don’t want to miss a single opportunity to shine a light where one is needed.

Dearest, today’s #MoxieAffirmation is a little love note reminding you of the same… Read it and let these words soak into the deepest parts of your soul.

You were born with a purpose.
\nYou woke up today… brilliant and feisty.
\nKnow what that means?

You are not done here yet.

THERE IS MORE AHEAD FOR YOU TO DO!

You still have amazing things to achieve.
\nRelationships to build and nurture.
\nMountains to conquer.
\nMovements to support.
\nLives to change.
\nDreams to realize.
\nIf not now, when?

It’s time to live your life out loud, on purpose, and on your own terms.

Are you ready to ignite your world?

Are you ready to support and protect and speak out for those you are meant to serve?

Are you ready to lean into your purpose?

Me, too.

Before they say ciao for the afternoon… Molly shares a guided meditation!

The post Spill the Tea: Rituals. Rest. Reclaiming Your Purpose. appeared first on Debra Trappen.

This week’s topic is: Being Better Allies

If you have ever asked yourself “How can those of us who are not black become better allies for ending racism?” this is the show for you.

Kama Burton joined us today for some real talk about racism and how we can be better allies. She is a Mother, Friend, Author, Founder of Loving Me 1st, a 501c3, helping those affected by domestic violence… She is also a REALTOR® and newly licensed real estate Broker, an Adjunct Professor, and an activist.

For many of us, the constant news reports of violence and discrimination are traumatic, particularly for members of the black community who experience it at disproportionately higher rates.

Even when divinely-intentioned humans of various shades, backgrounds, and experiences join together for crucial conversations about racism, tensions can rise.

Being uncomfortable is not something we have the luxury of avoiding right now… If you have a willingness to listen, to be educated, and to understand how you can use your voice for the betterment of others, join the three of us as we listen, share, and learn together.

It’s time to embrace discomfort, look it in the eye, and do the work.

Lionesses, pull out your sassiest teacup, brew your favorite tea blend, snuggle into your coziest spot, grab a pen, paper, and bring your open mind to listen in on this hour of togetherness…

Molly kicks us off with a guided cooling breath exercise to prepare us for a crucial (likely uncomfortable) conversation.

Kama is sipping a delish Green Tea, Molly is drinking the SUMMER blend from Intentionaliteas and Debra is sipping their spicy LOVE blend. Stay tuned for EqualiTea to honor this chat and Kama’s charity!

Here are some of the questions that we cover:

\n
1. What questions do you wish people would stop asking?
\n
2. What questions do you wish people would start asking?
\n
3. Why do you feel like the current protests are different?
\n
4. How can those of us who are white become better allies for ending racism?
\n
5. Do you have books or podcasts you suggest?
\n

What is the best way for people to get in touch with Kama?

This week’s topic is: Letting Your Trueness Shine Through

When you are authentic, it allows others in and attracts people and opportunities to you like a magnet. When you fake it, you are sending out a bat signal that attracts people you are not meant to serve or do life with… AND, the people who are here to help you thru this season can’t find you.

Join Debra + Molly for a chat about this divine knowing… and how to embrace it!

Pull out your sassiest teacup, brew your favorite tea blend, snuggle into your coziest spot, and listen in on this hour of togetherness…

Debra and Molly share their thoughts on this week’s topic. 

Living authentically requires you to know your values, understand what fills your soultank, and uncover your purpose. If you haven’t started this process… start here.

Words from Debra:
\nLioness, it’s ok if someone doesn’t get you. In fact, it is a gift.
\nNot everyone is going to want, like, accept, or know how to receive your energy.
\nYou know who will get you?
\nYou know who’s meant to speak into your life?
\nThose who share and/or honor your values.
\nThose who fill your soultank and want to see it full.
\nThose who love and respect your purpose and help you live it out loud!

Those you are meant to serve will get you.
\nPlease, make peace with this deep knowing, Lioness.
\nRelease the world’s definition of perfection.
\nEmbrace your wild, divine feminine spirit.

Before we say ciao for the afternoon… Molly shares a guided meditation!

Today’s moxie chat guest is Vy Luu.

We were connected on line by Laura Monroe and finally met in person at the WomanUP! Conference 2019!

Vy is known by her biggest fan as ‘a chihuahua who thinks she’s a pit bull.’ At barely 5 feet tall, she has often met remote colleagues and been told they expected her to be taller. She is an ambitious learner in technology, process, project and business management. Her 20+ years career has been in technology and business transformation with internationally recognized companies including Nasdaq, Rogers Communications, Indigo Books and LoyaltyOne.

At Real Estate Webmasters, a leading technologically innovative organization in the luxury real estate space, Vy is the general manager. She is a collaborations focused leader in her portfolio ownership of the human resources, product development, professional services, customer experience, and shared services teams. Vy loves the diversity of people and experience she gets to work with every day, they are what makes Real Estate Webmasters’ clients exceptionally happy.

Vy prioritizes volunteering, writing, running, and spending time with her furry family by the west coast mountains and oceans.

During our chat, we explore what’s on her heart and dig into what it feels like to remember who your Lioness Pride is… and what she did the moment she realized how blessed she was by hers!

Without further ado, here is Vy.

1. How do you define SUCCESS?

Success is going after what I thought I couldn’t do and then either meeting/superseding my expectations or learning a critical lesson from the process of going after the goal.

2. Share the THREE WORDS that describe you BEST and why!

Conscientious, enthusiastic, inconstant because I can get hyper-focused on achievements, optimistic about success, and love change.

3. What is the best advice you have ever received?

Don’t say “It’s too hard because someone else will do it and be proud of it.”

4. What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I dislike public speaking or presentations.

5. If you could go back 11 years – what would you tell yourself?

Take risks, there are so many years ahead to try, learn, and do things again if they don’t work out the way you expected.

6. What is one habit you are trying to build?

Patience.

7. If you could share a meal with ANY 3 people, who would they be and why?

Steve Jobs and Princess Diana if they were still alive, and Barack Obama because I admire the innovative, humanitarian and leadership qualities and accomplishments I know of them.

8. What does MOXIE mean to you?

MOXIE means knowing the talent you’ve created in yourself and using it to effect positive change in others.

9. What does a “perfect day” in your life look/feel like?

A perfect day would be waking up to a cup of coffee and bacon. Followed by an early morning paddle, run, or weight lifting session, then a great workday organizing a major project filled with unknowns and then making sense of what to do next, then steak, crab and a glass of red wine for dinner, then a walk by the ocean or in the mountains with my furry babes.

10. What is your ONE WORD for the next 12 months? Why?

Evolve because it’s once again time to grow myself and change!

FROM OUR RAPID FIRE SESH:
\nHere is the link to the Follow Your Arrow song that is my favourite.
\nThe lyrics are below and they just speak to my heart :)

If you save yourself for marriage, you’re a bore
\nIf you don’t save yourself for marriage, you’re a whore-able person
\nIf you won’t have a drink, then you’re a prude
\nBut they’ll call you a drunk as soon as you down the first one
\nIf you can’t lose the weight, then you’re just fat
\nBut if you lose too much, then you’re on crack
\nYou’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t
\nSo you might as well just do whatever you want
\nSo
\nMake lots of noise (hey)
\nAnd kiss lots of boys (yeah)
\nOr kiss lots of girls
\nIf that’s something you’re into
\nWhen the straight and narrow
\nGets a little too straight
\nRoll up the joint
\nOr don’t
\nJust follow your arrow
\nWherever it points, yeah
\nFollow your arrow
\nWherever it points
\nIf you don’t go to church you’ll go to hell (uuh)
\nIf you’re the first one on the front row
\nYou’re a self-righteous son of a
\nCan’t win for losing
\nYou’ll just disappoint ’em
\nJust ’cause you can’t beat ’em
\nDon’t mean you should join ’em
\nSo make lots of noise (hey)
\nKiss lots of boys (yeah)
\nOr kiss lots of girls
\nIf that’s something you’re into
\nWhen the straight and narrow
\nGets a little too straight
\nRoll up the joint
\nOr don’t
\nJust follow your arrow
\nWherever it points, yeah
\nFollow your arrow
\nWherever it points
\nSay what you feel (say what you feel)
\nLove who you love (love who you love)
\n‘Cause you just get so many trips ’round the sun
\nYeah, you only
\nOnly live once
\nSo make lots of noise (hey)
\nAnd kiss lots of boys (yeah)
\nOr kiss lots of girls
\nIf that’s what you’re into
\nWhen the straight and narrow
\nGets a little too straight
\nRoll up the joint
\nI would
\nAnd follow your arrow
\nWherever it points, yeah
\nFollow your arrow
\nWherever it points

Today’s moxie chat guest is Carla Hayes.

Carla is passionate about bringing people and ideas together. She is a writer, yogini (who needs to do more yoga), mom, wife, and friend to many.

Carla Hayes is an experienced content marketing strategist who pairs creativity and big-picture thinking with strategic planning and execution to create holistic campaigns that move the needle on business goals. She has a gift for matching the message to the audience, a passion for empowering women, and a yoga side-hustle. 

A two-time graduate of Rutgers University and former varsity rower, Carla is a born and raised “Jersey Girl” who recently moved her whole family to California where they are experimenting with a west-coast lifestyle and doing a lot of hiking with their dog, Blitzen.

During our chat, we talk about taking time to recognize what you are good at, the things you are thankful for, and the things you are proud of… and how she uses this in many aspects of her life and work. She also shares about her passion for yoga and what it has taught her about herself! 

Without further ado, here’s Carla!

1. How do you define SUCCESS?

I am successful when I open someone’s mind to a new idea.

I feel really successful when do that by creating the opportunity for amazing women in the Coldwell Banker brand to share their stories – either through a podcast, blog post or speaking opportunity.

2. Share the THREE WORDS that describe you BEST and why!

Curious/Thoughtful: When I’m involved in a project I really like to dig in and understand it from all perspectives.

Forward-Thinking: My goal is always to leave a thing better than I found it. A project, a person, the world (!)

Passionate: I’m interested in a lot of things, but when something hooks me beyond mere curiosity, I throw my whole self into it.

3. What is the best advice you have ever received?

“Done is better than perfect.” I tend to want to think and think and think and plan before taking action because I don’t want to be wrong or do something less than 110%. Sometimes that backfires and I wind up doing something 0% because I miss the opportunity. Still working on this one :)

4. What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I finalized adoptions for 11 children and placed maybe a dozen others in what would eventually become their forever families. My first career was as a social worker, doing adoption case work for the state of NJ.

5. If you could go back 11 years – what would you tell yourself?

So much!

Don’t be so concerned about what other people think of or expect from you. I love the quote, “Other people’s opinon of me is none of my business.”

There is no secret meeting you’re missing out on. No one has all the answers; and there are answers you have that other people are looking for.

Take a risk.

6. What is one habit you are trying to build?

A daily meditation or gratitude practice.

7. If you could share a meal with ANY 3 people, who would they be and why?

Catherine O’Hara. I have always loved her, but I am currently obsessed with her character Moira Rose. I would LOVE to know more about how she created something so unique.

Stephen King. He has created an entire universe (worlds upon worlds) that connect and influence each other. I’m so in awe of how he orchestrated those parts to all fit together.

Billie Jean King. This is a new one. I was so impressed by her at NAR I want to hear more about her story and her perspective on equality.

8. What does MOXIE mean to you?

It means being unapologetically yourself and letting your light shine.

9. What does a “perfect day” in your life look/feel like?

Yoga. Outdoor time with my husband and kids. Finish with drinks with my favorite 5-10 people.

10. What is your ONE WORD for the next 12 months? Why?

Explore-mode. This is a mindset that I adopted when we moved to California and it was a way for me to let go of outcomes (specifically around travel and moving with the kids) but I’ve found that it was really helpful and I’m trying to hang on to it.

Today’s moxie chat guest is Elisha Alcantara.

Lionesses, are you bringing the real you to the outside world or do people see one thing while you live with dreams and desires buried within you?

It’s time to get REAL about this very thing with entrepreneur and podcaster, Elisha Alcantara! A self-made badass from the ground up, she’s on a mission to educate others on how to make lasting life changes that lead to becoming their own success stories.

Elisha has started real estate companies, a construction firm, a podcast, and a non-profit focused on housing homeless families. Through her failures in business and life, she has learned how to live from the inside out instead of from the outside in. She understands the life-altering difference this makes and is passionate to share this with others in the hopes they will live a calmer, more fulfilled life. She lives in Portland, OR with her two bright and beautiful kiddos Grace and Bradley, and she’s the kind of mom who’ll hold a tarantula just to make her kids happy.

Whatever you’re secretly feeling or going through, you can live a happier, more connected, more confident life by following her method. Come as you are and learn the steps to get REAL so you can start living the life you imagine.

During our chat, we talk about the new real estate brand she is about to launch because of WomanUP!® – Kinected Realty. And how she is also opening a co-work space for amazing female entrepreneurs called Kinected Spaces!

UPDATE: Life has taken a major turn. Since we recorded this chat – the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Growth and launch plans are on HOLD.

Keep in touch with Elisha here: https://www.instagram.com/elishaalcantara/

1. How do you define SUCCESS?

my inside feelings match my outside appearance

2. Share the THREE WORDS that describe you BEST and why!

Energy. Resilient. Confident.

Energy – I’m a huge believer and feeler of energy and it’s the thing people feed off of me the most.

Resilient – Things don’t really knock me down…I pause, get clarity, and then proceed with new plans…ALL the time.

Confident – I’m so wholly connected from the inside out that I don’t need external validation or affirmation to determine my worth.

3. What is one habit you are trying to build?

I don’t “try” anything…I “do!”

4. What does MOXIE mean to you?

Having determination and grit

5. What is your ONE WORD for the next 12 months? Why?

Rebuild.

I imploded everything in my life over the last 2 years because it wasn’t serving me. My word for 2018 was “PAUSE”, my word for 2019 was “CLARITY”, and this year, I’m ready to rebuild!

BONUS: Do you have something launching soon? Anything special you want to talk about on the show?

Yes!! I’d love to talk about the real estate office I’m about to open because of WomanUp – Kinected Realty. I’m also opening a co-work space for amazing female entrepreneurs called Kinected Spaces.

Pull out your sassiest teacup, brew your favorite tea blend, snuggle into your coziest spot, and listen in on this hour of togetherness… This week’s topic is “Intentionally Choosing What You Bring With You”!

We talked about one of the first steps to take – reviewing your commitments. Here is the process we talked thru…

1: Do this when you are fresh and awake. Pour a cup of tea, your calendar, paper, and a pen.

2: Take a look at each area of your life and write down all of the commitments you have canceled in the last month.

These are the different buckets Debra shared: Work. Social. Self. Family.

Seeing it all written down can be quite an eye-opening experience and it may be overwhelming, so be mentally prepared.

3: Look at each one and decide whether it really brings you joy and adds value or it has become an energy/vision vampire in your life.  

Do I love this?

Is it worth the amount of time I invest in it?

If the answer is yes, let’s add that to the “KEEP” list of commitments you will bring with you.

If the answer is no, let’s add it to the “DITCH” list of commitments you want to leave behind.

If you want to do a Core Values Exercise, you can download one here:
\ndebratrappen.com/valuesexercise

4: Review your list again.

Ask your spouse and older children do this for their commitments.

As a family, review those activities that require other member’s time to decide collectively what works.

Put all of the KEEP activities on a blank month calendar and test how it feels.

Does this feel like the ultimate month for me? 

For the family?

Are we still over scheduled?

5: Revel in the freedom.

As you decide to eliminate the things that don’t bring you joy or value, you will start to feel lighter. 

You don’t have to do more than this right now. 

Next week we will share ideas on how to gently, yet firmly say NO and decline these events.  We will also discuss how to be prepared to graciously receive declines to the invitations we have given.

Before we said au revoir – Molly led us in this beautiful grounding exercise!
