the adventure your soul has been waiting for...
THE PULSE: Roar!
TIME WARP
How in the world are we at the end of July? How's your summer going? We honestly don't know where this month went. Even though we are checking in with ourselves and all of you on a daily and weekly basis...it feels like time is flying. Right?
Personally, this past week and the week ahead bring several opportunities to reflect on milestones in my own life. As I reflect -- I think about TIME. How is it that I can feel so present in those moments from decades ago...and also so present in the here and now. Does that ring true for you when you think back to certain moments in your life?
In the many conversations that Karen and I have, we constantly discuss the quantum field and how potentially we are energetically time traveling. We love those types of juicy discussions -- and this week as I'm reflecting...I'm thinking about the idea that I'm doing my own version of time traveling. Maybe you will feel that as well? I'm also thinking about this life's journey so far. I'm blessed. There is a depth of experiences on every level...and as the journey continues -- I'm in awe! I am grateful to keep learning something new every single day. I hope you are too!
FEELING MAJESTIC?
It's officially Leo season!! This fire sign is the only sign ruled by the Sun, "which mirrors the bright and creative energy that all Leos are known for (hello Karen!!)." Regardless of your Sun sign, there's no better time to SHINE your energy out in the world.
On the same day that Leo season began, Venus went into retrograde until September 3. Venus is all about relationships (and finances)...so that those areas may require more of your focus over the next six weeks. It's a chance to really think about what you value in key relationships (even with yourself) and with money!
GETTING UNSTUCK: CLEAR THE WAY TO GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT
In our next free session together, we’re focusing on clearing the path for you to get everything you want...to be completely satisfied with your life NOW. We're going to tackle the fear of being content. It sounds funny, right? Why would you be afraid to be happy? Soooo many people are actually scared of feeling joy and fulfilled. You are longing for it, yet there is an underlying fear once you have it.
We're going to dive in, get deep and release it! It's time to live your best life yet!
Join us with the spectacular modern mystic Lizzi Cutler on Friday, August 18 at 2pm ET/1pm CT/11am PT. We look forward to continuing this transformative practice with you! RSVP NOW.

LATEST PODCAST: The Adventure Your Soul Has Been Waiting For...
Sedona Soul Adventures has been and continues to be a life changing experience for many, many people. It certainly was for Karen -- you've most likely heard us talk about it on this podcast. In this week's podcast, we have the honor of talking to Debra Stangl, the Founder + CEO of Sedona Soul Adventures, where Debra has developed her own unique process to create deeply transformational, custom designed private retreats for individuals and couples, working with over 60 of the Master Practitioners of Sedona. You'll get to hear how it all came to be. Plus, Debra is the author of international best seller The Journey to Happy -- How Embracing The Concept That ‘Nothing Is Wrong’' Can Transform Your Life. She went from being an unhappy, stressed-out divorce attorney…to happy, doing the work of her dreams – and meeting her now husband. And, we're talking about Enneagrams -- why this system of personality typing, may be the key that helps you navigate life a bit easier! Debra’s sharing her remarkable journey, what practices have worked for her and how you can apply those learnings in your own life. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: Robyn + Karen: Debra, we're so happy that you're here. We’ve both been to Sedona and it holds a magic that is almost indescribable! Can you tell us what led you to Sedona and to ultimately create Sedona Soul Adventures? Debra Stangl: I was at a place in my life where literally every part of my life was a mess! I hated my work. I was in an unhappy marriage. I was $50,000 in debt. I was 40 pounds overweight. At my lowest point, I came to Sedona for what I thought was going to be just three days of being quiet. During that visit, I did one session with one of our amazing practitioners. In that session, my High Self came to me in a vision as Isis, the winged Egyptian goddess. She said, “you either leave your law practice now or you are going to die like your mother did.” At that time, I was exactly the same age my mother was when she got sick and died five years later from cancer. I could see that I was on that exact same path of being unhappy, feeling stuck, feeling hopeless. Hearing it that way, I finally got the message. I went home to Omaha and I spent two weeks with my lawyer brain trying to figure out how I was possibly going to leave my law practice when we were $50,000 in debt and I was the sole support. And then suddenly, I went into this space of just surrender and it just felt like grace. And I said, “Okay, God, I am gonna do this, but I've gotta have some help.” And just a few hours later I got a phone call from one of my former clients who had just bought a business refinancing mortgages. He said, I can get your mortgage payment cut in half and I can get you $50,000 in cash. Suddenly five years of worrying was off my shoulders within hours of me just surrendering and asking for help. So that was the first big sign. R+K: That was indeed a sign! So what did you do next? Debra: I spent six months closing my law practice, and came out to Sedona for an entire month just doing my own personal healing work. And then I went back to Omaha for a month, and then I came back to Sedona for another month doing more healing work with different practitioners that I was finding. I did that for three years and during that time I'd run into people and they would always say, "so when are you moving to Sedona?" And I would always say, "I'm never moving to Sedona.” And then two weeks before 9/11, I was in Sedona in the same room where I had done the other session and my High Self came in again as Isis. And she said,” it's time to move to Sedona.” And I said, “for what?” Of course there was no response. My experience is they never show you the whole thing. They only show you the next step. I moved to Sedona and sat here for six months going, "Okay, I did what you told me to do. Now what?" And then I started having dreams and they showed me working one on one in private with these amazing practitioners who have been drawn here from all over the world and who are Masters at utilizing and moving the incredible transformational energy that's here. That's what changed my life. They showed me how I could condense what had taken me three years into three days. And so that's what I did. And we started with 10 practitioners. We now have over 60, and it has worked from the very beginning. R+K: We love how you had the courage to take your journey one day at a time. So often, we feel like we have to have it all figured out before we take the first step. Debra: I never really felt like I was being courageous. I just followed one step at a time. The biggest thing that you can do is to bring yourself out of the energy of frustration and upset and doubt, is to get into the energy of excited expectation. Tell yourself things like, “Oh, if I have this desire, the Universe is going to match that desire. Or “I am on the path. I am following the path. I am looking for the next right step.” That’s what was going on for me for five years, staying in frustration. They were telling me what to do and I wouldn't listen. When I changed my energy, everything shifted for me. You just have to figure out how to get yourself vibrating up on a higher level, and that's when the matchup happens. And that's everything that we're doing with Sedona Soul Adventures is moving out the old energy, and bringing in the new energy to stay in this higher energy vibration of "excited expectation." R+K: Excited expectation! That is going to be our new daily practice. Thank you for following those steps and creating these wonderful experiences that are transforming so many lives.

SECRET POWER: Enneagram Empowerment
Discover Your Personality Type + Unlock Your Inner Potential
One of the many tools that we learned about from Debra Stangl was the fascinating powers of the Enneagram. The Enneagram is a personality assessment tool, based on nine core personality types. The Enneagram reveals how your personality type, and its associated traits, can influence your relationships, work habits, and goals. According to Debra, “the Enneagram has been around since Medieval Times. The Crusaders brought it from the Middle East and then during the dark Ages, the knowledge about it was preserved in the Monasteries. Basically, it’s a personality test that tells you how you are wired and what you are driven by. It's a 10-minute assessment that you can take for free on the Internet. In my book, The Journey To Happy: How Embracing the Concept that NOTHING IS WRONG Can Transform Your Life,” I talk about how the different styles impact the way we view the world and how you can be your best with that understanding of yourself.” Intrigued? We were! Try the Enneagram Assessment and see what personality type reflects YOU and how you can use these insights to understand yourself and the others in your circle. For more from Debra on how she uses Enneagrams in her life and work, visit her article "How to Find Out Who You Really Are" on her website.
THE WEEKLY DOWNLOAD: Why We're Here
Our Downloads are for everyone reading THE WEEKLY -- they are guidance from Spirit + The Universe that are channeled through us. KAREN'S DOWNLOAD The truth is you are doing so very well! As we seek to find the meaning of our purpose and why we are here it can be so easy to measure ourselves by the yardstick of human experience. To write yourself a resume of accomplishments. Of places visited. Things done. Accolades received. Yes, there is a goodness in all of these things as they allow us to understand our preferences, of what has meaning to us. It is important however, not to allow those things to be the driver of your experience. Adding up this list and wearing it as a measurement of who you are is not what this life experience is about. All of that is an illusion. It is also the source of not-enoughness. This is a false story. This is not the real reflection of your soul. The life experience is about vibration. It is about your energetic alignment. It is about how you feel within the heart of you. Can you be enough in just your “Being-ness?” Meaning, can you feel full of life just by immersing yourself in the moment? Wherever you are. Whatever it is offering. It is all more than enough-ness right here, right now. Your only purpose is to shine your light. No matter what is happening outside of you, no matter what the circumstance is, your light is always there within. Do not hide your light. When we are afraid, we are turning away from our light. When we judge others, we are turning away from our light. When we express anger, doubt, frustration, hopelessness, we are turning away from our light. And this is always a choice. This is always where our greatest power resides. You are part of the universal, eternal power of Source. You are an eternal being with no beginning, middle or end. And you are here at this very moment, simply to experience life. And that makes you MAGNIFICENT! Savor the miracle of you being right where you are right now. You do not have to do, be or achieve anything. So just for today, offer that light which is love to yourself. Offer it up to your fellow passengers in traffic, at the grocery store, at the doctor’s office. Offer it to those might be judging you, angry at you, disrespectful to you. We are all co-creative beings of light. Let them see yours, and watch them light up in return. That is magic. And that is the resume of a life well lived. ROBYN'S DOWNLOAD
Go with the flow. Do not worry about everyone else. Concentrate on you. What feels in flow? What feels right? What feels good to you? That is your compass. Think of each moment as if you have a choice because that is the truth. The compass is a perfect example. Which direction do you want to go? Use your feeling as the energy to move you in the direction that is right at that very moment. We say "right" however there is no "right" or "wrong". All are opportunities are to grow and are part of your journey no matter what. You can't go wrong! However there is the path of more joy and more fulfillment, which is what you hope to have during your time on Earth in this life. Follow the joy. Follow the feeling of joy wherever you can. We want to help you overcome the moments you feel fear. This is is your barometer for growth and for making new choices. What is causing the fear? You can make choices to question the fear and choose to move forward with gratitude for the opportunity to do something new...the something new being that you are facing things head on and that will feel good. And the more you feel good, the more good will come. Think of the saying, "the point of a journey is not to arrive." That couldn't be more true. You chose to be on this journey. You chose to experience all that is. So experience it. Embrace it. The levels of emotion are gifts. And ultimately life should be fun. Your mission is to find the fun in each situation. It's to find connection both with yourself and with others. And it's to remember that you're not alone. You have so much support that you can't see, however if you take a moment to close your eyes and tune in to the energy all around -- you can feel us. We're like a bubble of support always there. We say this to give you more confidence as you move about your life. Move with confidence. You are creating your reality. How are you choosing to live each day? With love or with fear? Love is more fun. Love is flow. Fear are the stop signs to help you make the turns at the right times for you. Life is so precious. You chose to be here...to experience it all. Experience it all! And keep tuning into the guidance. Be aware. Notice. The signs are all around you. Sending you love always.
