Next Thursday, November 6th I'm teaching a Burnout Prevention and Recovery mini workshop in Marysville, WA. This workshop is made possible by Core Contractors (Title Sponsor) and the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce (Host). I wanted to bring Levi onto the podcast because he has an inspiring story that is very much aligned with the work I do and support. Tune in for this special episode and think of Levi the next time you're looking for a contractor.

Purchase your ticket here and join us next Thursday: www.iloveitwhen.org

In this episode we talk about:

-Levi's journey to starting his own company, Core Contractors.

-How his company stands out from other contracting companies- their values and the way they operate the company.

-How important it is to be present and recognize when emotions come up- they mean something!

-Why you should join us on November 6th in Marysville at the Burnout Prevention & Recovery Workshop!

The 411 on Levi:

Levi Stearns is a born Entrepreneur that started out like most people following family into a working field. He became a journeyman plasterer at the age of 23 and worked as a union plasterer for 6 years. He decided to get out of construction and into sales when he became a realtor in 2006 and endured the great recession with great success as a blue-collar work ethic, and determined spirit led him to heights he didn't expect. He then ventured into insurance to broaden his sales career and found more success, yet he was not home enough and wanted to find something new. The opportunity to work in a high-volume mitigation company came along and he took it. He trained multiple top producing project managers and was the top project manager in volume for almost six years. The want for more was always there and this was the Entrepreneurial bug. He went on to lead multiple other businesses to millions in production and then started his own construction company with a fellow team member. Unfortunately, when that partnership was no longer viable, he struck out on his own to start Core Contractors LLC. The company is just a couple months short of two years and has seen tremendous growth. Levi and his wife have two children and three cats and live happily in Lake Stevens WA.

Meet Vira Smith! In today's episode Vira shares with us about her journey from a place where she feared death- to where it opened a door for her that she'll never shut!

In today's episode we talk about:
-How VIra's journey with spirituality began from a fear of death.
-Her experience learning Reiki, Yoga Nidra, Hypnotherapy and Holistic Nutrition and how she uses these tools in her daily life.
-The importance of remembering that you can take these classes/certifications for YOU- you don't have to take on clients. These tools are meant to be used in our daily lives!
-VIra's experience with channeling different energies.

The 411 on Vira:
Born and raised in Washington state, Vira is the youngest sibling in a family of ten children. She resides with her sister Elizabeth in Tacoma along with her fluffy feline, Hampton. Vira has been described as a kind-hearted, nurturing listener. She is also a certified Reiki Master, Yoga Nidra Facilitator, Hypnotherapist, and Holistic Nutrition Coach.

Her journey into all things healing and spiritual started with her fear of death and it opened a door for her she would never dare to shut. She achieved a life-long passion of working with primates as a care-staff intern while finishing her Bachelor’s Degree at The Evergreen State College in 2007.

She now works to expand her consciousness, live mindfully, and re-incorporate the practice of her healing modalities on others along with sisters Elizabeth and Zara as a way to lean into her purpose in this lifetime in a healthy and balanced way.

Welcome back to the I love it when podcast! I've been on a 3 month break- so much has happened, I'm excited to fill you all in!

This episode is all about giving you the deets about what happened at the Unplug From Fear Retreat last week- September 26th-28th... as well as- I have 2 special announcements to share!! I also have some beautiful new guests lined up for you over the next few months- stay tuned- these folks are incredible

Themes/lessons from the retreat:

-This group was immediately comfortable and vulnerable- multiple people said this to me and made note of it. This means a LOT to me because creating as safe a container as possible is my #1 objective.

-It IS possible to discuss heavy topics and experience joy in the same space/time.

-Intention + frequency is everything. Intention is IT. The Universe/Spirit responds to your frequency and intention helps to guide the energy. If you go about your life with zero intention- it will be like floundering about the ocean with no clear goal on where you're headed.

In this episode I share about:

-Retreat recap: I go through each day and share what we did and some personal stories of my experience

-I share a few clips of the live audio from when Kai and Crystal were teaching

-I gave folks on Instagram a chance to ask questions about the retreat- and I answer them here

-2 special announcements at the end!!

I believe the Universe brings different people into my life at very specific times- and Juliana Fajardo came into my world at such a time. I met her in March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. We were gathering in an online space called "Stronger Together" and I was immediately drawn to her energy and her curiosity. We met in person in July of 2020- at the same time I first met my now partner, Tom Harrison. We have stayed in touch ever since and cultivated a lovely friendship. I really believe Juliana has a presence, voice and energy that needs to be heard by many. I believe she's a change agent- and I want more people to know her and learn from her. The way she talks about intuition and energy is approachable, clear and coming from a place of curiosity which is KEY.

In this episode we talk about:

-How Juliana defines intuition

-How she receives signs or synchronicities and follows that guidance

-What she has done in the past when she's been in a "void" or a space where she didn't know what was going to happen next

-How her intuition has helped her build more self confidence and self love

The 411 on Juliana:

Juliana Fajardo is a creative, an empath, and a practicing intuitive. She is the Senior Development Manager for Friendship Bridge, a nonprofit social enterprise creating opportunities that empower women in Guatemala to build a better life, through microfinance, education, and preventive health services. She has been in the nonprofit sector for over a decade and enjoys being a connector and a collaborator in this space. In her work as a nonprofit professional and as an artist and creator, she currently feels guided by curiosity and being in an exploratory phase. Unapologetically passionate about strawberries and easily amused, she finds joy in the simple things and loves expressing that. She is excited to be exploring her intuitions and to see where this takes her in her life and career.

She holds a Master of Public Administration with a dual concentration in Nonprofit Organizations and Environmental Policy, Management, and Law from the University of Colorado Denver and a B.S. in Statistics with minors in Environmental Studies and Dance from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.

Welcome to the 70th episode of the "I love it when" podcast- it's officially been THREE YEARS since this began! During this solo episode I share about the upcoming podcasting break I'll be taking during July + August. What YOU can do for me- if you've been listening or are listening RIGHT NOW, please take a moment to email me: Mo@iloveitwhen.org and let me know what you have enjoyed the most over the last 3 years. OR- take a moment to leave me a review on Apple Podcasts. This would be the BEST anniversary gift ever.

We'll have one more episode this month with a good friend of mine, Juliana Fajardo- so keep your eyes peeled for that!

This episode also includes what I currently recommend for increasing your intuitive abilities and learning to listen to your inner voice. I believe this is critical right now. It's time for more of us to remember that we are all connected= we are the same.

Lastly- I take you through a guided meditation to ask for a message AND I pull a card for you for the month of June 2025.

What message do you receive? Please share in the comments or email me to let me know!

You are so much more powerful than you realize.

It's time to step into this power.

I recently started a conversation with Chat GPT- just to play a bit and see how I could utilize it in my business. I felt led to share information about myself and then asked it to create 11 questions that it would ask me to share about myself in a solo podcast episode. Here is part 2- with the rest of the questions it crafted for me!

1. What is the most powerful insight you’ve received from your own personal journey that you now pass on to your clients?
2. You’ve mentioned your commitment to curiosity and learning. What’s something you’re currently learning or exploring that excites you?
3. You believe that nobody has the answers but us. Can you walk us through a time when you helped a client uncover the answers within themselves?
4. What do you hope listeners take away from today’s conversation about stepping into their own highest potential?
5. You often work with people who feel stuck or uncertain. What’s the first step you take with them to help shift their mindset and get them moving forward?
6. You offer a Breakthrough Session to help clients experience a major shift. Can you walk us through what someone might experience during one of those sessions?
7. You’ve talked about the magic of your network. How has building and nurturing relationships been key to your success, and how do you use that network to support your clients?

Please check out the other episodes I've shared in this podcast and if you feel led- leave me a review on Apple!

I felt led to share information about myself and then asked it to create 11 questions that it would ask me to share about myself in a solo podcast episode. Here are the first 4 of those 11 questions! The next 7 will be released in the next episode.

1. What has your journey of embracing your intuition looked like, and how did it become your superpower?
2. You’ve shared that you were searching for a leader who embodied everything you admired. How did you ultimately realize that leader was you?
3. As someone with a background in operations, social work, art, and energy, how do these diverse experiences influence the way you coach and guide others?
4. Can you share a story about a moment when you realized you were truly meant to help others uncover their own leadership?

I pulled two oracle cards for you at the end of this episode for the energy of May as well!
