It has affected my clients stress wise.

You will never grow faster than when you start building your own business.

Find Life Coach | Meet Lisa Brewer: How to Improve The Quality of Your Life, Relationships and Career?

Lisa Brewer is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her vast expertise and dedication.

She started her coaching career after reading the book “The Willpower Instinct”. She was inspired by the book and with permission she used it to create her own program. It turned out to be super successful.

She always had a passion for teaching and training, she just didn’t know coaching as a career option.

Her coaching approach combines many different techniques, tools, and disciplines that aim to improve self compassion, awareness, emotional regulation, mindset and habits that in return improve the quality of life, the relationships we have, and our career. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Lisa Brewer:

find-life-coach-lisa-brewer

Name: Lisa Brewer

Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind, The Heart

Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to improve the quality of their life, relationships and career.

How they can help: By using and combining various tools and techniques like self awareness, perception change, emotional awareness and regulation, visioning, mindfulness, time management, communication, just to name a few.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

We’ve been very fortunate.

Being introverts really helped!

Other than shopping less frequently, things didn’t change as much for us.

The hard part was my parents both contracted cancers, and I couldn’t be with them for fear of passing something to them.

Also, my son needed to finish his degree remotely, which is isolating since we had moved to a new state while he was in school.

Fortunately, my parents are in remission. Family celebrations are cherished.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

The pandemic has increased stress levels overall for everyone.

There’s increasing complexity: hybrid work, resignations, increased workload, financial strain, changes to routines, more illness, fear of illness, less social connection.

People are assessing what really matters to them, which is great in the long run, but increases decision making which can be tiring and overwhelming.

The biggest impact for me has been missing my parents and sisters, who live across the country.

I also have a lot of clients who are managing stress, overwhelm, and self care so I’ve broadened that skillset dramatically.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

I never know what someone else is going through.

The summer of 2020 we moved.

One new friend was “overly” cautious about the virus.

A few weeks into our friendship I asked about it.

Four of her family members had died in the first four months of the pandemic.

Now I assume there’s a reason for people’s actions and everyone is doing the best they can.

This helps me be more curious and empathetic, which has opened more relationships and doors that I ever could have imagined.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I’ve always enjoyed training and teaching others but was unaware of coaching as a career option.

In 2017 I read “The Willpower Instinct” by Kelly McGonigal, PhD and got inspired.

With her permission I used her book as the foundation for a goals program I ran with colleagues, friends, and strangers.

It was so successful in helping people understand themselves and reach their goals.

Becoming a Certified Professional Co Active Coach provided the qualifications to be reputable to corporations.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

Can I only choose one?

I learned a few years ago that I fall into the 20% of people who are highly sensitive which explains so much.

I’ve had to limit my diet since I was 19 and overcome social anxiety, an emotionally abusive boyfriend, chronic pain, depression, a fixed mindset, and ill family members.

I reinvented myself to stay home with my kids at 35 and reentered the workforce 15 years later.

Emotionally, this was very hard to take since I was raised to be a professional and not dependent on anyone.

I’ve made seven interstate moves, four while my kids were under 9 years old.

I’m immensely human!

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I’m more focused on excellence than innovation.

I came across a study showing the 14 qualities demonstrated by outstanding therapists.

I am not a therapist and will recommend someone sees a therapist if the topic they bring indicates that.

I do ground my practice in evidenced based practices, and this article helped reinforce and bring intention to specific skills.

Build strong interpersonal skills, build trust and understanding quickly with clients, develop and explain a clear plan for reaching client outcomes, be authentic, flexible, and optimistic, discuss difficult topics instead of avoiding them, continuously expand my skills, adapt to individual clients backgrounds and situations, do the work myself so I can self manage and be fully focused on the client, and work with as many clients as possible so I can be as effective as possible with clients from a variety of backgrounds.

An outcome of this that I see with clients is my intuition guides the words and tools I use.

I often coach people on the similar topics, but how I approach it could be very different from one client to another.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

I pull from a wide, continuously expanding range of subjects when coaching…

Psychology, neuroscience, business, leadership, mindfulness, self compassion, habit formation, project management, alliance building, emotional intelligence, positive psychology, communication skills, etc.

I use this to help clients develop their own answers.

Sometimes, just a bit of information unleashes their creativity and insights.

So, I recommend books, TED talks, and articles for clients when I sense additional information would be helpful.

It also means that I coach on a wide range of topics.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

Increase self awareness, self compassion, confidence, clarity, emotional regulation, goal achievement, and joy.

They often develop better work and life balance and time management, improved communication, conflict and leadership skills.

They have improved self care habits, stronger relationships, and increased comfort in self promotion to advance their career.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I’m an extremely practical person.

Because of this, the only tools I use with everyone are administrative: a scheduling calendar, payment links, and initial questionnaires.

Everything else is customized to the specific outcomes the client is striving to create.

With many clients I use some combination self awareness, perception change, emotional awareness and regulation, visioning, mindfulness, time management, communication, self compassion, and habit formation tools to help them achieve their goals.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

Embrace curiosity, compassion, and ease.

It’s amazing what can be created from here and the joy that accompanies it!

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

That it’s ok to be vulnerable and pursue what I really enjoy.

I was competing in a Toastmasters speech competition and amazed by the reaction of the audience.

They were energized and wanting more.

I experienced a similar effect at a networking event a few months later.

Both times I was completely present in the moment, felt unconditional self love and confidence, and was fully focused on the people and topic.

This combination is always present when I’m at my best, whether I’m with others or alone.

It’s a flow state that’s highly rewarding.

As soon as I worry about what other people think or what is expected of me, the spell is broken.

Flow is magnetic and brings out the best in others.

When we’re willing to be open, vulnerable, and focus on what matters to us, we give unspoken permission for others to love and value themselves.

Then magic happens.

Your final thoughts?

I often have clients who think they are a tough case or are stifled by circumstances.

Those are limiting beliefs.

We all have the capacity to change and become the person we want to be, even if we can’t change our circumstances.

Defining who that is and why that matters and being willing to experiment to see what helps you is what coaching is all about.

Planning Guide: What to Do 1 Month Before The Party?

You’ve already got a rough idea of how you want your party to go.

Now, one month before the date, is the time to start filling in the blanks.

There’s no need to rush, you have plenty of time to savor the creative process.

This is going to be fun!

What to Do 1 Month Before The Party?

planning-guide-month-before-the-party

1. Invite Your Guests.

A lot of party invitations still travel the old fashioned way: in a stamped, physical envelope that makes its way (eventually) to the guest’s mailbox.

The big advantage of snail mail invitations is that a tangible reminder of your party can be a great memory jogger!

Your invite will likely end up posted on a bulletin board or fridge.

Just remember to allow enough time for preparation and delivery if you decide to mail your invitations.

Green invites are increasingly popular.

A simple group email can get the job done, but there are more powerful and convenient options available!

You can use online services that will help you craft an attractive invitation, keep track of RSVPs, and even remind your guests before the big day.

Online invitations tend to live on your guests’ phones, which might be even better than being on their fridges these days.

2. Settle Your Catering Plans.

This is the time to make your orders for drinks and non perishable foods.

You’ll still have time to adjust quantities as you get RSVPs and figure out how many invitees you’ll have.

If you intend to order baked goods, check in with your bakery early to find out how much lead time they need.

How about hiring a chef for your party?

This is an increasingly popular choice that reduces your party planning workload.

Turn over all the catering decisions to an expert!

Just take a little time to check reviews and recommendations so that you wind up with a reliable, capable chef.

3. Finish Your Decorations.

Your party planning process will be a lot less stressful if you sort out your decorations now.

With do it yourself decorations, finishing early will ensure you won’t be scrambling with glue guns and fabric the night before the event.

If you’re buying some or all of your decorations, it’s also good to make your purchases early from premierglow.com.

This way, if anything needs to be special-ordered, it has plenty of time to get to you before the party.

Remember you may also be able to borrow decor elements from others or modify some you already have.

4. Plan Your Activities.

Hopefully, the thought you’ve already invested in your planning has given you a good idea of the best activities to offer your guests.

This is the right time to draw up a list of what your activities require and gather them in advance.

5. Assemble Your Team.

For anything but a tiny house party, you’ll probably need helping hands.

Whether you rely on friends and relatives or hire professional staff, be sensible about your labor needs.

Make sure there’ll be enough people to handle:

1. Set up before the party.

2. Helping during the event.

3. Clean up after.

Hiring event staff can be particularly handy when you’re planning a party that you want to get maximum personal enjoyment out of.

On the other hand, sometimes a close, friendly party team can have a lot of fun working together.

If you do hire professionals, make sure you get a written quote that defines their hourly rate and the length of time they’ll be working.

You want to make sure your staff sticks around for the whole job, but you don’t want to get ambushed by their bill!

7 Top Tips How to Make High Quality Coffee At Home

Having a nice cup of coffee is one of the best ways to start the day, providing you with the energy to tackle whatever obstacle comes your way.

However, visiting your favorite coffee shop every day might not be the most budget friendly decision.

Thankfully, there are some simple techniques that you can use to make the perfect cup of coffee at home.

Depending on how much coffee you are used to drinking, this might also help you save some extra money.

Below, you will find some of our top tips on making high quality coffee, that will turn you into a coffee expert in no time.

7 Top Tips How to Make High Quality Coffee:

how-to-make-high-quality-coffee-at-home

1. Use Fresh Beans.

Firstly, to ensure great quality, it’s important to buy fresh beans.

It might also be a good idea to visit a local roaster or learn how to roast coffee yourself.

If you prefer to buy bulk coffee from supermarkets, it’s best to check whether they are committed to selling fresh coffee.

This is because oxygen and bright light could potentially ruin the flavor of roasted beans.

Moreover, the reason why coffee tastes and smells so good is due to the presence of aromatic compounds.

Shortly after roasting, these compounds begin to escape, which may leave you with stale tasting coffee.

Therefore, it’s always advisable to use fresh coffee bought from quality conscious roasters.

2. Invest In The Right Equipment.

Another important factor which can influence the quality of coffee is the type of equipment you are using.

There is much more to consider beyond buying a bag of coffee beans.

For example, you may want to look for a good quality coffee maker, coffee brewer, or coffee grinder.

To find the best on the market, check out SSENSE, where you can get the right equipment and coffee accessories.

There are plenty of options to consider, whether you are looking for an electric coffee kettle with temperature control and a precision spout or a coffee machine that can do a bit of everything.

3. Measure Your Coffee Accurately.

Although there are plenty of good recipes that will help you figure out how much coffee you need to use, they may lack the precision required to make the perfect cup of coffee.

Therefore, it might be beneficial to invest in a scale, which ensures that you can measure your coffee accurately.

This is because different coffees and blends may vary in size and density, so without a scale, you might not know how much of it is going into your cup.

4. Store Your Coffee Correctly.

Make sure that you know how to store your coffee for the best results.

Avoid storing it in your fridge, as this won’t help you keep it fresh for longer.

In fact, putting coffee in your fridge can affect the quality of its taste.

Moreover, your coffee may absorb moisture or smells from foods in your fridge, which won’t be beneficial in the long run.

This is why it’s advisable to keep your coffee in a cool and dry place away from light.

For example, you may choose to store it in a cabinet or place it in a jar or airtight container.

5. Go For Filtered Water.

It’s also crucial to focus on the quality of the water that you are using.

Choosing purified water instead of tap water can make a huge difference in how your brewed coffee tastes.

Make sure you check whether your water tastes bad or has any unpleasant odors before making coffee.

While in some places, tap water might work well, in others, you will need to use water that has been through home filtration.

Alternatively, you can go for bottled water, as long as it’s not distilled, as coffee typically requires some minerality to taste delicious.

6. Add Spices.

If you are looking for a fun way to make your own flavored coffee, consider adding spices.

For example, when making cold brew coffee, you can add your favorite spices to your coffee grounds.

You may want to try incorporating cinnamon sticks, cacao shells, or crushed roasted hazelnuts.

Also, instead of cream and sugar, you can use vanilla extract to achieve a nice creamy taste without the added calories.

For an exotic flavor, try cardamom, which is packed with fiber and other essential minerals.

Moreover, a bit of nutmeg can help you add a touch of earthiness to your morning brew.

7. Experiment With Various Brewing Methods.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to experiment with different brewing methods and other types of coffee to find the ones that you enjoy the most.

This will allow you to compare the results and expand your horizons.

It will also help you take your coffee making skills to the next level.

There are also tons of options to explore when it comes to flavor and spices, so be sure to add new things to your routine as often as possible.

In the end, you are likely to find the experience of making coffee at home both fun and rewarding.

Yoga for recovery is an approach to healing that uses specific poses and postures from traditional yoga to help people recover from physical or mental illness or injury.

This type of practice aims to help individuals regain strength, flexibility, and balance while also reducing pain and stress levels.

Unlike other forms of exercise or therapy, which may focus solely on physical health benefits, yoga for recovery incorporates breathing techniques as well as meditation to promote psychological wellness and emotional healing.

Who Should Practice Yoga for Recovery?

Yoga can be beneficial to anyone looking to improve their mental or physical well being.

Still, it is particularly helpful for those dealing with chronic conditions such as anxiety or depression as well as those recovering from an accident or surgery.

It is also ideal for athletes looking to improve their performance by increasing their body awareness and overall strength and range of motion.

Finally, people with disabilities may find practicing yoga therapeutic due to its gentle nature which makes it easy to modify poses according to individual needs.

How Can I Get Started with Yoga for Recovery?

The best way to get started with yoga for recovery is by finding a certified instructor specializing in this type of practice.

Look online or ask your doctor if they have any recommendations on where you can take classes near you.

Make sure that any classes you attend are tailored specifically toward your needs so that you get the most out of each session.

Additionally, plenty of online resources are available if you prefer the convenience of practicing from home.

Whichever option you choose, ensure that you give yourself plenty of time before each class so that your body has enough time to warm up properly before beginning each pose or posture.

What you should remember?

Yoga has long been used as a form of exercise, but its potential goes far beyond just keeping fit.

As we have seen, yoga benefits the whole being, physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, in various different ways.

But it can actually be used as a tool in the healing process too!

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering after an accident or surgery, or simply wanting some assistance managing stress, yoga could be the perfect solution.

To begin your journey into yoga recovery, make sure that you find an experienced instructor who specializes in this form of practice so that you get the most out of each session and start feeling better soon!

Find Life Coach | Meet Zehhra Mirza: How to Remove The Blocks Within to Reach Your Goals Outside?

Zehhra Mirza is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her wisdom and expertise.

She is a Personal Development Coach based in India, Mumbai. Clients fondly refer to her as Coach Z. We are astonished with the depth of her understanding when it comes to the human psyche and its dynamics.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

We are doing great! Thank you!

We are blessed that we all are safe and have shined bright and evolved from all the life lessons learned during the pandemic.

We are 3 of us in our family: dad, mom, and me.

My parents are senior citizens. Dad is 79 years and mom is 68 years of age, a cancer survivor.

However, my dad encountered the coronavirus on 2nd of February 2021 and was critical with his lungs functioning only 20% but with the grace of Divine all’s well and he fought it out and is blessed with good health.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

Not really.

For my clients in India, they had to adjust and get comfortable by surrendering and accepting the situation.

However, once everyone understood the seriousness about the virus it was all ok.

I use to conduct a lot of Live Events and personal meeting for my clients in India before the pandemic but for my clients overseas, e.g. North America, it was always zoom, so it was all ok and taken care off.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

Self Love.

Have an Attitude of Gratitude instead of complaining and criticizing.

Being grateful for everything that we have been showered with.

Be Open minded instead of resisting.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I started working as an intern when I was 19 years old in my first year of college on a project related to student counseling on teen issues in adolescence.

My target audience was my peer group while I was studying my degree in Applied Psychology.

I enjoyed the subject of personality assessment, behavior analysis, and more.

I decided to pursue my Masters in Counseling and Psychotherapy to explore the subject further.

I then became interested in studying how an individual’s behavior changes when exposed to an uncomfortable environment, what emotions trigger these changes, group dynamics, and the social environment.

Additionally, I explored topics related to self healing, life journeys, spirituality, and reading about sages as I was on my own journey of healing.

My journey started as an intern, moved to a role as a career counselor, and then up to the role of VP of Human Resources People Management.

While I was still in the corporate world, I felt a calling to serve people by helping them move forward by healing their patterns, blocks, fears, anxiety, panic attacks, fear of self worth, lack of self love, loneliness leading to depression, and suicide.

I began counseling, coaching, and healing clients on weekends, weekly offs, and holidays with different modalities, and I am still going strong with what the Divine guides me to do.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

I was a very introverted person who couldn’t even stand in front of two people and talk, presenting was a far cry.

As a child, I had faced a lot of comparison, rejection, mocking, insults in school, frustration from teachers, bullying by friends, a punching bag for mostly everyone I knew in my circle of influence (including family), two failed relationships, a case of nervous breakdown, hypertension, panic disorder, depression, anxiety, and even three suicide attempts, and a tagline of “Being a Loser and Fit for Nothing”.

I had to work on myself and my own healing because I couldn’t figure out what was actually happening to me.

There was a lot of internal conflict with no one to help.

I would feel alone, alienated, helpless, and lost even when I was around my family.

I was expected by all to be understanding, but no one was ready to understand or even listen to my problem, even when I approached for help.

In fact, I was even mocked and made a joke of on the subject I had decided to graduate in: psychology.

So, I decided to become my own counsellor, psychologist, therapist, and healer at the age of 18.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I blend many modalities such as Mindfulness, Ho’oponopono, Energy Healing, Removing Genetic Trauma, Blocks, and Limiting Beliefs in my coaching sessions.

My coaching sessions are usually one to one sessions.

I am a certified coach trainer in the Law of Attraction and Breaking Limited Beliefs.

I have a Master’s degree in Counseling and Psychotherapy.

I believe in taking 100% responsibility for whatever shows up in my reality because ultimately, we belong to one consciousness, and each person we interact with is a reflection of us in some way or another.

So, if the person shows up as angry, for example, there is something inside of us that is unhealed which is showing up through the person displaying the anger, and the energy is asking for healing or a let go or transmutation.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

It’s customized and personal and unique because it’s out of sheer experience of undergoing my own self healing when I was 18 years old.

The clients go through basic counselling and basic plus advanced level coaching and healing, and once they reach certain levels of healing, then they are put in a private group (group coaching) plus they have access to my personal mobile number, which has no restrictions of any timing unless it’s an overseas client, wherein there is a time difference, or if I am on leave.

We are all like family, wherein we share a very close bond with not only the client, but also their family members.

The program my clients undergo is very holistic in nature, because by healing themselves and their genetic trauma, they are not only healing themselves, but also healing their ancestors, as well as the coming generations.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My clients understand the concept that “our internal world is a reflection of the outer world,” so if the outer world (in the form of people, situations, and events) is against the flow of whatever they wish to create, meaning there are obstacles and things are not working out, it’s a red flag that something is misaligned within (the internal world).

The mountain of muckiness that they have been carrying for years gets transmuted, allowing them to be open to receive and create their new story, their new reality.

They surrender rather than resist, they choose to become conscious about what they are creating by taking responsibility for themselves rather than blaming situations or people.

They become clear about their purpose.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

Assessment questions just to help me understand their mindset and my internal energy scanning, which helps me to understand the energy alignment, which guides me on the root cause of the issue.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

You are a creator, God-consciousness, not a victim, so be careful of the story you narrate to yourself, the frequency and quality of it.

How many times you rehearse the same story to yourself, as well as narrate it to people or family members in the form of complaints and criticism, and how you say it.. you will create more of the same experience until you choose to break the pattern.

Only by being conscious, aware, and by healing the pain body can you end the suffering.

Otherwise, your mind is always ready to drive your life show.

Don’t wait until things get worse in the form of anxiety, depression, addiction, feeling worthless, and feeling stuck.

Seek help because these events or experiences have shown up to heal and release you from the bondage of toxic energy slavery.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

Our thoughts and feelings play a very crucial role in creating our reality.

Be mindful about your energy, including the books you read, the movies you watch, and the songs you sing, because you never know what you are creating unknowingly.

There is amazing power in the present moment.

Surrender, acceptance, and awareness: the combination of the three ends suffering.

Your final thoughts?

Being aware and being in the present moment of “The Now,” ends all suffering because creation begins from there, which is “The Now,” the power of timelessness where there is no fear of the past nor worry about the future, as the essence of this emotion results in the exact outcome in your physical reality.

How you give is how you receive, for example, if you give anything with a feeling of lack, this energy will come back to you, maybe in a different form, but it will come back as a blocked energy.

Life is not happening to you, it is happening through you.
