Thursday Apr 11, 2024
In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Abi Keene. Abi is a seeker of truth, a life-enthusiast, healer, transformational coach, bodyworker, mother, and mainly a fellow being searching for meaning in this crazy world. The theme that weaves throughout her life is her search for meaning and presence, and her never ending journey of self exploration and self discovery. Raised in Israel, Abi came to NYC after finishing her mandatory army service and eventually found her way to the Experimental Theater Wing at NYU where she got to explore and study herself through a physical approach to performance. She has been working on and with people’s bodies for over 20 years, and more recently she has taken all her various modalities of shiatsu massage, Craniosacral Therapy, somatic dialoguing, long distance healing, six-sensory training, Akashic record reading, and her 30 years of spiritual practice as a student of the Gurdjieff Work, and funneled them into one healing, which is her 1:1 6 months program for women called Courageously You. This program is designed to help midlife women realize their inner beauty and power and move away from the doubts, fears, and judgements that are keeping them small and hidden, so that they can step fully into themselves, their unique voice and purpose, and thus feel the joy that comes with the freedom of being uncensored and self-realized. In this episode we discuss transformation, body work, spirituality, healing and meditation.

The Courage Equation with Jaclyn Gallo S01 EPS563

Monday Mar 25, 2024
In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Jaclyn Gallo. Hi, I’m Jaclyn. I’m a speaker, writer and life coach helping people create lives that spark the light inside of them. I’m a 2x bestselling author, host of the top 100 podcast Spark Your Light, and Tedx speaker who has delivered keynotes across the globe to organizations including Deloitte and Comcast NBCUniversal. My company, Spark Your Light Studios, has proudly reached millions of women in 96 countries. My journey began 7 years ago, when I found myself in a corporate internship, as a 21-year-old college student, questioning what I really wanted out of life. I wondered, "Is this it? Is this the best its ever going to get?" I knew that there had to be more out there for me. With no experience and no savings, I took a leap of faith and pursued my first business idea. It was a total failure, and I spent more than $50,000 (that I won in pitch contests, raised on Kickstarter and borrowed using credit cards) on ideas that never made it off the ground. Applying the lessons from the failures I experienced, I built a thriving company helping women use their failures as a springboard to achieve their goals, just like I did. And that's where it all began. In this episode we discuss failure, regret, courage, finding our purpose and the importance of listening as a coach.

Samantha Ruberto is a heart-centered entrepreneur, Master Life Coach & host of the Hello BeYouTiful Podcast who specializes in energetic embodiment, having supported thousands of others to create a life of personal freedom & fulfillment. After a spiritual awakening 10 years ago, she walked away from her “white picket fence life” where she once checked all of “society's boxes” to create a life that was in alignment with her Soul. This pursuit led her on a journey to traveling to 80+ countries where she not only learned about our external world, but her biggest lessons came through understanding the world within. Fascinated between the combination of science and spirituality and motivated by a deep curiosity for personal evolution and growth, she believes that life is always working out for us (even when we “think” it isn’t). She aspires to live an experience-rich life and is committed to helping others wake up to themselves and listen to the whispers of their hearts too. Today through her body of work (Soul Surgery) she serves as an intuitive guide to help others navigate and deeply understand their inner worlds and essentially, heal.
