25. From Pain to Purpose

Today’s conversation is with Anisa Fowler who is an international gospel singer.  Anisa has a powerful voice and a powerful message.  I loved this conversation and her wisdom on what she referred to as “Church Hurt”.  She talks about how people are fallible and sometimes people mishandle others but that is distinct and separate from an individual’s relationship with the divine. As someone who struggles with her own experiences with organized religion this conversation opened my eyes to another perspective.And while we were talking Anisa said “wherever you shine your truth it should not diminish someone else’s being”, and I have been thinking about that ever since we recorded.  What if we made that the new Golden Rule?  Shine bright, live your truth, just don’t try to take other’s down when you do that.  I loved that message and it is going to stay with me for many years.Instagram: www.instagram.com/anisaworships Website: www.AnisaFowler.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQbgBtFj8iZVyc2o27djvHA YouTube “Anisa the Next Chapter”: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nGIUP0LqWCK48iWuHaEApC3tN5w8tCcMY Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/17bKRK2NJvqU2mYIuBQr6D?si=1iCYm9VBTkCopEMxFL28cQ&nd=1 As always you can connect with me in a variety of ways!!!Instagram: www.instagram.com/tatianarobertsonofficial Website: www.tatianarobertson.com Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/TatianasWellnessPage Private Facebook Group for Happyish Pod Squad Crew: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1902004553313858/  

24. Finding the Courage to Live Authentically

23. Michael Singer’s Book ”The Untethered Soul”

 Are you someone who "gets in her head" (actually, is there anyone out there who doesn't?).  The Untethered Soul brings an interesting perspective to that "voice in our head".  It helps us understand our relationship with our thoughts and emotions and helped me understand that just because I think something doesn't mean it is real - or about me!  The book also explores the source and fluctuations of our inner energy and it delves into what we can do to free ourself of the habitual thoughts, emotions, and energy patterns that limit us. In this episode Nimisha and I discuss our favourite takeaways from the book and share our challenges.  If you have ever thought of reading this book or wanted a little refresher - this is your podcast.I would love to hear book recommendations.  If you have one send me an email at tatiana@tatianarobertson.com To find out more about the book you can find it here: www.untetheredsoul.com  As always you can connect with me in a variety of ways!!!Instagram: www.instagram.com/tatianarobertsonofficial Website: www.tatianarobertson.com Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/TatianasWellnessPage Private Facebook Group for Happyish Pod Squad Crew: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1902004553313858/

18. The Power of Your Enneagram (A Quick Intro!)

Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober who is also known as "Enneagram Ashton" joins me in this episode to talk about the Enneagram which is an ancient personality typing system .  Ashton uses her knowledge to help people strengthen their relationships and become the best versions of themselves through the framework of the Enneagram and shares her knowledge on the podcast.One of the most interesting things about the Enneagram is that it uses a number system to put people into types based on motivations.  The motivations that the enneagram is based on are what people’s biggest desires  and  their biggest fears are.  So instead of typing an individual based on WHAT they do - which is the behaviour - it types individuals based on WHY they do it - which is their motivation.Ashton explains things so clearly and gives examples that help us all understand both the enneagram framework and ourselves better.I invite you to pop in your earbuds and head out for a walk and enjoy the podcast.  It was such a treat for me and I hope you enjoy it just as much!You can find out more about Ashton and the work she does: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enneagramashton Website: https://enneagramashton.comTake the Truity Enneagram Quiz here: https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test As always you can connect with me in a variety of ways!!!Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tatianarobertsonofficial Website: www.tatianarobertson.com Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TatianasWellnessPage Private Facebook Group for Happyish Pod Squad Crew: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1902004553313858/
