Ep 157: Practical Success Tip No. 1 for Introvert Leaders - Protect Your Energy & Remove Distractions

In this first interview episode of The Magic Pause, I sit down with Tina Reimer for a profound conversation about surrendering to life's flow and finding magic in the unknown. Tina shares her transformative journey from being a driven entrepreneur to embracing complete surrender. After 10 years of running a coaching business, a series of unexpected events - including losing her social media presence and experiencing various personal challenges - led her to a deeper understanding of trust and letting go. Key insights from our conversation: The power of embracing the void and releasing the need for constant planning How life sometimes forces us into transformation through challenging experiences The difference between understanding spiritual concepts intellectually versus embodying them The importance of feeling safe in our vulnerability and openness How slowing down allows us to access deeper wisdom and make aligned choices We explore the delicate balance between having dreams and remaining unattached to outcomes, and discuss how quantum leaps often happen naturally when we stop forcing them. Tina's story beautifully illustrates how surrendering to life's flow can lead to unexpected magic - including a new relationship, pregnancy, and relocating to Costa Rica. Tina reminds us that while the "movie of our life" might be written, we get to choose how we respond to each moment - through resistance or acceptance, through fear or love.

In this special episode, I share some exciting news about the evolution of "The Art of Slowing Down" podcast. After nearly three years of creating content under this name, I'm embracing a new chapter with a fresh identity: "The Magic Pause." I share the journey of how this new name emerged organically through numerous podcast conversations and particularly through an interview with Yvonne Stoltzfus. The concept of the "magic pause" deeply resonated with me, creating a full-body "yes" that I couldn't ignore. The idea of pausing has become increasingly central to my work: In Gene Keys, pausing is fundamental to the art of contemplation In Kabbalah teachings, pausing is essential for transformation In my work with clients, creating intentional pauses leads to deeper insights As an online entrepreneur, taking intentional breaks increases productivity This rebranding reflects my continued commitment to helping people slow down while emphasizing the transformative power of conscious pauses in our daily lives. The podcast will continue to feature conversations about Human Design, Gene Keys, and True Sidereal Astrology, now through the lens of "The Magic Pause." I also share details about my upcoming program "The Magic of Your Story," launching November 5th alongside the rebranded podcast: https://courses.analenafuchs.com/the-magic-of-your-story How to work & connect with Analena: Book a 1-on-1 True Sidereal Human Design Reading: https://calendly.com/analenafuchs/ Analena's Website: https://www.analenafuchs.com Analena's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/analena.fuchs/ E-mail: [email protected]

Join us for "The Magic of Your Story" which starts Nov 5th: https://courses.analenafuchs.com/the-magic-of-your-story In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my evolving relationship with spirituality and how Human Design and Gene Keys have unexpectedly brought me closer to God. I share my journey from a childhood where religion was largely absent, through periods of skepticism and judgment, to my current understanding of a higher power. Key points discussed: My early experiences with religion and the concept of God How Human Design and Gene Keys became my gateway to understanding spirituality The concept of Divine Will and its impact on my perspective Recognizing the difference between ego-driven goals and heart-centered desires The importance of surrendering to a higher purpose How this spiritual awakening has affected my approach to success and fulfillment The parallels between Human Design teachings and spiritual principles I explore how this newfound connection has transformed my understanding of purpose, success, and the role of the ego. I discuss the concept of being a vessel for a higher purpose and the peace that comes from aligning with what I now perceive as God's plan for me. This episode is an invitation for listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journeys and consider how various modalities might open unexpected doors to deeper understanding. Remember, this is my personal truth and journey. I encourage you to explore what resonates with you and trust your own path.

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelsea Cannon, a former pelvic floor physical therapy specialist who now helps women navigate perimenopause and reconnect with their bodies' innate wisdom. I have also had the pleasure of meeting her in person twice this year, which inspired us for this podcast interview to happen! In Tropical Human Design Kelsea is a Projector and in True Sidereal she is a Manifesting Generator. Kelsea shared her inspiring journey from traditional healthcare to a more intuitive, holistic approach to women's health. We discussed how Human Design played a significant role in validating her unconventional path, both personally and professionally. This led us to explore the importance of trusting one's intuition in health and business decisions, a theme that resonated throughout our conversation. One of the fascinating aspects of Kelsea's work is how she balances practical strategies with energy healing in women's health, especially during perimenopause. We delved into the parallels between entrepreneurship and women's health, highlighting the value of experimentation and self-trust in both areas. Kelsea emphasized the importance of slowing down and listening to one's body, particularly when making important decisions. We also discussed Kelsea's experience with both tropical and true sidereal Human Design charts, and how they've deepened her understanding of herself. This led to a broader conversation about creating spaces for women to discuss often-overlooked topics like hormones, blood sugar stabilization, and nervous system regulation. Kelsea shared a powerful story about trusting her intuition in a business partnership, demonstrating how following our inner knowing can lead to better aligned opportunities. Throughout our chat, the importance of being authentically oneself in business and life emerged as a central theme. Remember, as Kelsea beautifully put it: "Be you. Own your voice when you've got something to say." You can find Kelsea on Instagram @KelseaCannonDPT or visit her website at KelseaCannon.com to learn more about her work and the Revitalized Collective, her monthly membership for women. https://www.kelseacannon.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kelseacannondpt/ Revitalize Collective Membership: https://revitalize.podia.com/revitalize-you Personalized Consultation with Kelsea: https://calendly.com/kelsea-pliability-coaching-call/discovery-call-30-minutes How to work & connect with Analena: Book a 1-on-1 True Sidereal Human Design Reading: https://calendly.com/analenafuchs/ Analena's Website: https://www.analenafuchs.com Analena's Instagram & Current Offers: https://www.instagram.com/analena.fuchs/ E-mail: [email protected]

In this week's episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Etai Nahary, a communications coach and disability advocate with a fascinating background in languages, literature, and psychology. Key points we discussed: 1. The power of language in shaping our reality and perceptions, especially around disability and inclusivity. 2. Etai's perspective on reframing the concept of "disabled" and "able-bodied" to "disabled" and "not yet disabled." 3. The importance of normalizing conversations about disability and human fragility. 4. How Human Design and Gene Keys can be used as tools for self-understanding and empowerment, without becoming limiting. 5. The danger of over-identifying with labels or categories, whether in Human Design or other aspects of life. 6. The concept of "both/and" thinking and holding seemingly contradictory truths simultaneously. 7. The value of changing our personal narratives to feel better in the present moment. Etai shared his journey of creating "Etai's Corner" as a space to use his diverse skills and experiences to help others. His insightful perspective on disability, language, and personal growth offers a fresh way of looking at how we categorize and understand ourselves and others. Remember, as Etai beautifully put it: "Change your story, change your life." Focus on finding a better-feeling story in this moment, because that's all we truly have. You can find Etai on YouTube and Instagram at "Etai's Corner": https://www.youtube.com/@etaiscorner https://www.instagram.com/etaiscorner/ About Etai: Etai is insatiably curious, with a passion for serving others, understanding, and being understood by the world around him. His most recent fascinations include everything Human Design and Gene Keys. He holds three degrees; a B.A. in German-Jewish History from The University of Connecticut, an M.A. in Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies with a concentration in Post-Holocaust Literature (also from UCONN) and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Transpersonal Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. You will often hear Etai say that he plays with languages. He currently plays in the sandbox of anywhere between eight to ten languages with varying degrees of success. Etai’s Corner is dedicated to building bridges and fostering authentic connections worldwide.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Raquel Sands, a bilingual career coach who helps people find fulfillment in their work lives. We dove deep into our shared experiences with Human Design, particularly the shift from the tropical to the true sidereal (cosmic) version. Key points we discussed: 1. Raquel's journey from identifying as a Projector in tropical Human Design to discovering she's a Manifesting Generator in cosmic Human Design. 2. The importance of trusting your intuition when a system or tool doesn't fully resonate with you. 3. How cosmic Human Design provided both of us with a sense of alignment and recognition that we hadn't fully experienced before. 4. The dangers of rigidly adhering to any system, including Human Design, and the importance of using these tools for empowerment rather than limitation. 5. The value of experimenting and "throwing spaghetti at the wall" in both career development and personal growth. 6. Raquel's advice for listeners: Take 5 minutes each day to check in with yourself, away from distractions. We also touched on the broader implications of personality typing systems and the importance of remaining open-minded as we explore tools for self-discovery. Remember, whether you're exploring Human Design, Astrology, or any other system, the most important thing is to trust your inner wisdom. These tools are meant to confirm what you already know about yourself, not to put you in a box or limit your potential. If you're curious about exploring cosmic Human Design or want to learn more about finding fulfillment in your career, you can find Raquel at https://miriamraquelsands.com/ or listen to her podcast The Calm Balm. Work & Connect with Raquel: https://miriamraquelsands.com/#services https://www.instagram.com/miriamraquelsands/ Raquel about herself: I am a Bilingual Career + business coach supporting purpose-driven professionals in LATAM and North America who feel lost/tired/unsure about their careers and want to realize their visions. As a 1st generation Salvadorean-American and a professional job hopper for over 10 years, I understand the differences between corporate and identity cultures and how to use spirituality (yoga) as a way to bridge the gap.
