Have you had major shake-ups in your life… feelings of intense loss, whether it be through personal relationships, work, or family dynamics, which led to profound disillusionment as you witnessed your life disintegrating? We all have, and it’s what we intend to create in our life that aids us in our “waking up” to a new and transformative life.       Rebecca Bea Thompson tells us the story of how she was a leader in corporate America, raised a family, and made a home with her husband, including the picket white fence. When her husband began drinking heavily, she knew she had to drastically change her life, and she did just that with great courage. She had to recognize and change her deep conditioning.     Rebecca was always taught to concern herself with what other people think. She was also heavily conditioned through her religious training that we all are flawed, and that once you are married you stay married no matter what, which she believed for many years. Those beliefs made it even more difficult for her to end a destructive relationship.     Join Robin Jillian and Rebecca as she shares with you the courageous steps she took to completely transform her life.     Rebecca is also the author of “Rebecca Rising: How I Found Courage and Self-Love Through Friendship, Coaching, and Conversations With the Moon.”     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

We all have beliefs and ideologies that we live by. Some of these beliefs may be helpful in life and in fact empower you to live a life in faith, truth, honesty, and self-love. But, what happens for all of us is that we also have adopted beliefs that cause us unhappiness… taking away our power and presence to be in harmony with what we truly want in life, leaving us lonely and frustrated.

These beliefs come from early conditioning and past soul experiences. As children, we learn from our parents, authority figures, and the culture to which we are born. To put in context… we are only able to see our life and our abilities in very limiting ways. There is a reason we do experience these restricting modes of thinking and being… so we can grow through them and evolve.

Join Robin Jillian with her guest, Jennifer Sisoian, and learn how your beliefs govern the way you move in the world, and what you can do to bring about all that you deserve by questioning limiting beliefs such as, “I am not good enough”, “I don’t have what it takes”, “I am not worthy of love,” etc.  You can be happy and fulfilled by eliminating the negative beliefs you have been telling yourself.

Robin teaches that when it is time to wake up to who we truly are, we have no choice but to courageously answer the calling of our soul if we want to live a life of purpose and passion.

She empowers others to know that they are not alone when experiencing the terrifying but essential need to grow when hearing the inner voice to live from the fullness of your heart.

When you experience the “Dark Night of the Soul” it can be the scariest time of your life, but through these difficult times you will go deeper into your soul’s true desires and discover the most important relationship in your life… the one you have with yourself.

Robin will guide you with the questions that ignite deep self-inquiry, helping you to recognize that you, too, have the power to change your life.

What are the components that shape your perception of the world? How many of you allow your emotions to control the way you feel about your life? What happens when those emotions are based on stories that you have created from painful past events?     What I am suggesting is that it is not the events in your life that cause you pain and disassociation from your spirit, but rather what you have told yourself about the event. When we experience difficult events or even traumatic events, it is not the event that hurts your spirit and joy, it is what you have made up in your head about the event.     Thoughts like, “I am no good,” “I can’t do anything right,” “I am unloveable,” “Everyone abandons me,” “I am not deserving of love” …these are just a few examples of the lies we tell ourselves that continuously operate under the surface and control your emotional reactions, hurt your intimate relationships, and limit your sense of joy.     How do we become free from our past? Today my guest, James Purpura, author of “Perception – Seeing is Not Believing,” will give some tips on how to change your unwanted emotions based on the lies that you created in fear.     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

What does it mean to be happy? Is it possible that happiness can be much more than seeking pleasure in whatever form that takes for you? Events in our life won’t really create the full out kind of happiness we are designed for, as that is a temporary state.   Happiness is an inner state of being, and we can experience happiness for no other reason than we have the ability to tap into the joy that is essentially who we are. To tap into our essential nature of happiness is not easy, and in fact, when we are in pain, it takes tools to work through our unhappiness and come into greater alignment with the voices within that prevent our being able to embrace our joy in life. Robin discusses with her guest Elliott Robertson, author of “Say Yes to Life…7 Keys to Living Full Out From Within,” how we can contribute to our happiness through self-inquiry, self-love, and most importantly, living a life where you are aligned with your values and needs as that will always bring the happiness you seek.   More to come on that in future podcasts as there is so much more to be said.     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

We all want to be loved for who we are. Love makes the world go round… I am told. But, when being loved requires us (or so we believe) to give up our own needs and values, there is a danger.     When we sacrifice who we are, when we are not loved and accepted for who we are, our loving becomes conditional on behavior and our freedom is severely limited. Some needs are being met, but that can only last so long if we are not able to be who we are authentically.     Is love enough? No. Robin talks about the other components that are essential to creating the kind of love we all truly want. To experience deep intimacy, we must know that our values and needs are in alignment with our beloved.   We also must accept the other person just as they are… recognizing that we will grow through the relationship, becoming more authentically who we are as we offer the deepest truth of our heart. Then, and only then, can we experience a truly ecstatic kind of love. The love we all deserve.   Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

What does it mean to feel safe? Is there such a thing as safety? Robin talks about why we cannot rely on outside people, places, or things in our life to define our sense of inner safety/security.  Life is not predictable, and it throws difficult emotional upheavals our way in the form of events and outer experiences that shake our world. What is the purpose and why is this true? Life is progressive and Robin explains the why behind the sudden and unexpected changes we experience. Although it doesn’t oftentimes feel very good… it does cause us to explore our inner landscape and learn to accept all of life, and from that we can create more courage, acceptance, and allow more love to flow in our life.   Although Robin expresses her own sentiment about the process of surrendering to life and going to that uncomfortable place, she makes a good case for embracing the hero within.  Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

It’s Holiday time again… what does that mean for you? Are you running around crazy and stressed because you are living under the understanding that you “must” or “should” do or feel a certain way at this time?       We are all so heavily conditioned to “give” in ways that don’t really mean much to us, but we do it anyway.  How have we interpreted love and caring, and does that serve who we really are and what we really want?     I know that what we want is to be true to ourselves, our values, and our beliefs. We can no longer afford to betray ourselves by acting in ways that are not who we really are.     Robin discusses why it is an important part of our growth and joy to allow ourselves to become disillusioned so we can see more clearly as we let go and surrender to a new way of being in the world. This is not easy, and in fact, can be extremely difficult as we evolve on our spiritual path, but very rewarding.     We all have things that happened to us, especially as young children, and we decided what we need in order to survive, thrive, and be happy and safe. Give yourself the freedom from the “shoulds” and “have to’s” of life. Allow the peace of disillusionment to guide you to the new expanded version of you!     Learn more about Awaken Radio

We fall in love and then with time we realize that they are not nearly as perfect as we thought. A common theme, but in truth why is that?       We all carry many conditioned ideas of what love should look like. It is the purpose of our relationships to bring to light that which is buried inside of us keeping us stuck and scared.      Unless we are willing and aware enough to look at those unhealed places in ourselves and those outdated stories that prevent the kind of intimacy we really want, we are destined to go through our relationships with pain and heartache.   We need Courage to Love and courage to go beyond our limitations and “wake up” to our authentic self that is wanting to be expressed and free.       In this episode of Awaken Radio, Robin and her guest, Ken D. Foster, (author of “The Courage to Change Everything,” and radio show host in over 100 countries) will help you to free the love within yourself so you can experience the kind of transformation only your intimate relationships can provide.     Learn more about Awaken Radio
