245: How to Unapologetically Step Into Your Purpose with Gabby Bernstein and Chris Harder

Foreign.

Welcome to the Earn your happy podcast. I'm Lori Harder, founder of The Bliss Project, 3 Time Fitness World champion, fitness expert and cover model, turned self love junkie, lifestyle entrepreneur and author.

Each week I'll bring you a guest.

Or a thought that will help you bust through your fears, connect to your soul and get focused and clear so you can elevate your life, business and relationships. We don't wait until we're ready for someone to tell us we're good enough. We take what we want and we anoint ourselves, get ready to earn, own, and unapologetically rock your happiness every single day. Are you with me? Here we go. Welcome back to the Earn your happy podcast and today I'm so excited for my guest. She has been on my show multiple times before and today it was so important for me to take this time out to have Gabby Bernstein back on the podcast. Because every single year Gabby and I partner up to offer you something that is not only important, but I believe it is the doorway to your entire purpose. Because it truly was the key to my entire purpose and stepping into my calling in my life. And the reason that this podcast is so important to me is because a lot of you are searching for answers and you're searching for confidence and you're searching for how to put yourself out there. And for me, every year, affiliating with Gabby and partnering up with her is one of the most beautiful things that I do because I have been able to hear back from all of you who have taken advantage of this opportunity in the years prior that her and I have partnered and hearing how you have been able to put your message out, feeling unapologetic about not only finding your own voice, but about earning and supporting your message. And I know as spiritual teachers, coaches and people who are really wanting to use your story and step into your truth, that sometimes charging is challenging for you. But in order to step into your calling and do the work that you are meant to do and help the people you're meant to help, we really have to learn how to become unapologetic about it. So that is why Gabby and I have teamed up again for another year to bring you not only her spirit Junkie masterclass digital course, but also if you sign up through my link@lorihutter.com forward slash Gabby, I am offering you a totally free Bliss Project ticket. A totally free 2019 Bliss Project ticket with a signed copy of my book along with my seven sacred agreements workshop. And you guys, this only goes through Thursday of this week. So if you want to do this, make sure you listen into this podcast to get your questions answered. You can also let me know any questions that you have as well. But go to lorihutter.com gabby and listen into the podcast to see if all of your questions get answered. And I know that if you feel the calling and you do this, you will feel exactly like I felt afterward. And I was ready to run through a wall with my message. So, you guys, I want to introduce you to Gabrielle Bernstein. She is the author of the foreword from my book. She is a New York Times bestseller. She wrote the Universe has Back, she's written Spirit Junkie. She's written so many other best selling books. You guys, I am absolutely thrilled to introduce you to one of the people who has completely created a massive shift in my life. Help me find my calling. Help me find my voice. I actually coached with Gabby for a while and this is where I found exactly what I was supposed to do in the world. So let's get started.

How are you doing, you guys? I love you. I'm so happy to be with both of you.

We are so excited that you could come on on a Sunday night and we're so excited to talk about everything that you have been up to in your Spirit Junkie masterclass.

So I think that's a good lead in. Actually, why don't we talk a little bit about the Spirit Junkie masterclass and what it is, and here's why. I watched Lori go away to this a few years ago. Yeah, she came back an entirely different woman in a very short period of time. I mean, she came back with a different posture, a different confidence. And I'll spare everyone the details, but there were a couple big things that we're, that we were putting off taking action on. And she took action the day that she landed. Like, didn't even wait till the next day. So what, you know, what is it that happens here that creates such awesome change in people?

Well, it's really funny what you just said. Two things are really awesome what you said. One is that she took action the next day. Because the feedback I get from every single one of my students is that this training, of every training they've ever taken is the one that puts them into action. So. So people are like, oh, I took this thing, I took that thing. I took this thing. Not that they're, you know, haven't had success with other trainings, but that this was the one that actually put them in motion. So that initial testimonial is exactly What I hear over and over and over again. And it's also awesome, Chris, because, you know, I hear, I get all these, like, DMS and text messages and emails from these husbands being like, what did you do to my wife?

All good ones, I'm sure.

Greatest way they, like, send me. They send me, like, I've had husbands send me flowers. Being, like, made my wife more confident, you know, and it's not me, but the work, the training, the energy of the community and, and, and they're thrilled. Like, I literally. I think I got one yesterday from a guy who was like, I just want to thank you for giving this training to having my wife go through this training because it's given her this confidence and this inspiration to say yes to what she was always being called to do. I think if I were to describe the Spirit Junkie masterclass in a few sentences, I would say that it's a confidence training, it's a spiritual business training, but it's grounded in really gaining the confidence to say yes to what you're here to bring forth into the world, to begin to heal any false belief systems that have held you back from doing it, to give you a totally different mindset around money, like a real abundance mindset. Totally shift your fear around earning for the work that you're here to do and really put you. And then the final part is to put you into action. Like we've heard with Lori, it's like, get her into action. Get them into action. And there's something about the momentum that happens with this training that just gets people out into the world. And now it's only available online as a digital training. And what people receive is the videos that Lori was live in the room. So it's. It's 40 hours of content from the live events. So the best use of me as a teacher is live. So I've always made my digital courses live, Gabby, live. So these videos that have been really curated with audio, video, you get transcriptions and you have any learning style you prefer. And you can go through this training to have an experience, not just about business experience, to amplify your message or to earn more money doing what you love, but also this earlier part of the training, the first four modules are that spiritual foundation, the confidence building and the work that we have to do if we're going to build, obviously we want to build our house, our business, our career, our life on rocks, not on sand. So we have to have that foundation really set.

You know, I can't.

It's so crazy.

Because right before we got on here, I was trying to think back to even what it felt like to not feel confident in my message anymore, because that's how confident I felt afterward. Like, especially having all of the. Just all of the coursework and all of the things that I could refer back to afterward. I think just knowing that you have it. And also I was looking at some of my notes from the masterclass, and I can't even remember that person who wrote. That's how much more clear and confident I felt afterward. And, you know, like Chris was saying, the second I came home, it wasn't even. It wasn't even a moment of thought anymore. I was that clear that I. It was an actual. That it was now my responsibility to step out and use my story and take action. That's how much I think that it can go like this. Right? You can change in an instant. And I don't think people understand how fast it can change. When you actually watch somebody who is really unapologetic with their message because they're so sure and they're so clear and they're so convicted by their message, that's something that you do so well. What was that for you that really helped you get so convicted on your message?

Well, first of all, one thing before I answer that, I think one thing that's really important is I think that the men and women that come to this training, that experience it digitally or have in the past come live, what they have, the experience that they have had is that feeling of walking away, knowing and walking away, having this willingness to say yes and the willingness to just jump in. And I think that there is a transmission when you do see somebody standing in their authentic truth, because it's just a reflection of who you are. And so I have always felt. I've always sort of described myself as this untethered force of light. I don't want to be held back. I want to be free. I want to be in the full channel and the full expression of what I believe is true, what I believe I can offer and allow people to take what they need and use the rest. And so when the men and women that take this training have the experience of that seeing somebody, I think, as you said, in that conviction, it reminds them that that's who they are. And when you just take that, when you start to accept this is actually who I am, this is what I'm supposed to do, you can have a quantum shift like you had. We have countless alumni that have said, I walked out of the room. And I was a different person. Everything, nothing changed or I watched the eight modules of digital and I was completely changed. And I mean, actually, I think that's probably one of the greatest things we hear over and over is that was change that that is. My hope is to just make people more. More authentically themselves.

I love that something that was so huge for me was really coming up with a spiritual relationship of my own understanding. Because that became so clear to me on, you know, because I think we're so afraid of how we're sharing our message or is this right, or am I saying it right? And I think we always come back to worrying about being. And I think getting that relationship that's so clear to you makes you feel like you are. I just felt completely unshakable after that.

Yeah. I think that the reason this work works is because I'm not the only messenger, because I'm allowing a message beyond me to come through. And then in effect, the student is doing the same. And so the experience that you're having going through this training is you're being guided to crack open, crack open, crack open, crack open. To allow that inspiration. You can call it spirit, you can call it God, you can call it universe, you can call it inspiration, whatever you want to call it intuition, to allow that to come through you. And when you start to live and lead and work and earn with that presence coming through you, everything's. You're unstoppable. You become your own untethered force of light. And that's the big. That's a big message. I often joke around. There's a story in the masterclass I share about how a friend of mine texted me one day and he was like, how are you? And I'm like, you know, all this stuff is going on. My business is, you know, I'm so, so, so stressed out. My business, my business. And he said, it's not your business, it's God's business, and you are the servant of something fucking unstoppable, so get.

Out of the way.

And I was just like, okay, I got it. So that's a huge. That's something I really want to give off to this crowd and to this audience is that when we allow that higher power statement to claim it and to know it is for us, I don't tell anybody. This is what your spiritual connection is supposed to be. Never, I say, for you, your own understanding. And I actually guide you in the training to establish what that means to you and then to learn how to lead and Earn and work from that alignment. That's when everything lines up.

I love that. How does somebody know if they're meant to do this? There's so many people today that have a calling to be a speaker, a coach, an author, a thought leader, an influencer, whatever title that you want to put on it. How does somebody know if they're actually meant to follow that calling?

Yeah. Well, this training does attract a lot of folks like Lori, and then often their husbands. Their husbands usually follow, but folks that are already speakers, authors. Lori is an example of someone who's already very far along in her career before she started. We have many people that are starting at ground zero. It's just an idea, and so it's kind of cool because it can meet you wherever you are. We've got folks where Lori's excelling in this major career, and then we've got people that are just starting out in the same training at the same time, and it meets you where you are. So that. That's a big, big message. And the other bit is that while it's a lot of folks that have that desire to speak and to coach and to write books and to serve in that way, it's also lawyers and bankers and publicists and marketers and people that are out there that really, they have a desire to bring their inspiration and spiritual faith and their belief systems into the work that they do. And then it's spiritual people who want to bring their spiritual work out into the world and have a little bit of a greater understanding of how to make money doing that. So it's this great merger of people that they have the common interest, which is that they want to do something that's inspiring themselves so that it will inspire others. And so that's our tagline is inspired, do what's inspiring to you. Inspire yourself and inspire others. And so that is. That's such a strong, strong through line in this training. And I think that if you're. Wherever you come, however you begin, you can start to say, yeah, this is what I'm supposed to do. When you start to realize that you simply want to live from a place of inspiration and you want to help other people do the same.

I love that. So if you want to bring spirituality, if you want to bring inspiration into your work, it doesn't matter what your.

Work is, doesn't matter what your work is.

This is going to help you bring it in.

That's right.

I think ultimate, ultimately, it's just when you connect and you're bringing more of your authentic self. You're just bringing more of why you're even on this planet. And then when that happens, you create opportunities wherever you go. So whether you are in, you know, corporate or whether you're a lawyer, it's kind of like I find that the more authentic we are, the more opportunities you're just naturally attracting and creating, which has been.

Yeah, some of my students who. One of my students was working in a fashion magazine and she was really, really like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this. And I have no idea why I'm signed up for the Spirit Junkie masterclass. She literally had no idea why she signed up. But she signed up. And as soon as she went through the training, it was really clear to her right away that she was being called to bring what she cared about and the inspirational work that she was silently doing in her own apartment, but bring it to life in the office that she was in. And so she started coaching people in the office and pulling tarot decks for them and just getting into it. And three years later, she left and now she has her own coaching practice. So never know what's going to happen. One of the big things that we cover is how to transition from one career into the next or how to transition from one project to the next project so that you can begin to start fulfilling the work that you really feel called to do in the world.

That's a huge question that we get all the time. It's like, okay, so I have the side hustle, or I want to start the side hustle. How do I start transitioning?

Yeah.

And I cover that almost as its own element of a module is like how to help people in that transitional phase. And that doesn't matter whether you're transitioning from one career to the next career or you're transitioning from one level of your business to the next level of your business, just like you did. So it's an up leveling and how are we a container that can hold the magnitude of what that means and not go too fast, not move too fast, because sometimes we move too fast. That's very jarring to our nervous system and can take us out or it can, you know, make. It can steer us in the wrong direction. Direction. So you're very guided if you feel called to make any kind of career or life transition. This is your course.

Yeah, I'm glad that you just addressed that, that you said there is such a thing as going too fast, because I feel like people really beat themselves up when things aren't going fast enough, you know, they're always comparing themselves to everybody else's journey. And so there is such a thing as going too fast, isn't there?

Right, Right. So some people beat themselves up when they're not, when things are not moving as fast as they want them to. I, you know, what I've taught my students in the masterclass is to take lots of little right actions. When anyone were to say to me, gabby, how did you get to where you are now? I'd say to them, lots of little right actions, small daily right actions to grow, to develop my own inner healing and become a whole human being, to one day at a time, continue to, to the mission that I'm on and to continue to contribute. And just those small right actions added up, added up, added up and became the vision that I'd seen, you know, 13 years ago on my meditation pillow. So when we really allow ourselves to just take those small right actions one step at a time, that's when we cannot feel the pressure of being so. So, you know, feeling like I have to make it happen now. And the other thing about that is that there's this beautiful Yogi Bhajan quote which I share a lot, which is when the time is on, you start and the pressure will be off because it's like if you decide I don't have to do the big thing tomorrow, but I can take that small step today, then the pressure can lift instantly because you just made a commitment to take a step and that single step is enough.

So can you talk a little bit about being unapologetic about earning money and supporting your message and why it's important?

So there's a whole module in this training about healing your money mindset and I kick your butt in this part of the module and I just throw down because I feel very, very very passionate about helping service oriented people earn for the work that they're here to do. Because if the service oriented people aren't earning then they can't be doing the service that they're here to do so. We need more people with a spiritual foundation, with a service oriented desire, with a belief system that they're here to give and they're here to contribute, to be earning abundantly so that they can continue to do the work. And there's a lot around this. People get really hung up about who am I to earn for my spiritual work or who am I to earn for my healing work. My belief system is the more that you earn, the more you can contribute, the more people you can touch. Lori, both of you just said, oh yeah, we just had the best book launch ever. And I said, well, what made it so good? You're like our team, Our team just made it happen. Lori said, I'm so psyched that I was able to just show up and get on the microphone. And you know what, if you were earning for your great work, you wouldn't have that team to create the container for you to shine in your greatness. And that is the direct reflection of your being unapologetic about your abundance so that you can allow that exact channel that you are to come through on that stage because you set yourself up with the right team to hold you. And you know what? That's what this is all about. So for me, earning has been about building team. It's about employing new people, it's about being able to donate, it's about being able to touch more people. And so when I see what I can ear as an opportunity to broaden the message that I have, then I know I'm in the right track.

So all of these lessons are obviously really valuable as themselves, but they have really no value unless somebody takes massive action. And the problem is way too many people are stuck in fear. So how can you help people get past this fear that is literally crippling them and holding back their messages?

So there's a whole final module, the final module in the training, the eighth final step is how to take this out into the world. How to take everything that you've cultivated here, the confidence, the abundance, the actionable steps. Because we teach you in this training, doesn't matter if you decide to do this work or not. How to create digital courses, how to write books, how to public speak. But some people never use that. Some people use it the minute they walk out the door. But how to take everything that you've learned and cultivated, how to lead a guided meditation, how to hold the energy of a room, how to protect your own energy, taking all that you've cultivated. And in that final module, I Give you the exact direction on how to take the next right actions. And so much of that is about keeping it simple and not putting the pressure on yourself to try to be everything and do everything overnight. So many people. What's beautiful is this is a training that is, you have lifetime access to this training. So every year whenever I add new content or do something new, I'll constantly be adding to the training. And you know, it's getting to be a little bit, it's a lot of hours. So you know, we're gonna, we've capped it, the 40 hour training. But you can, you can constantly come back to it and say, okay, I want to dip in here again or I didn't think I was gonna do that module with Derek Halpern learning how to do a digital course because five years ago when I took the training first, I didn't want to do a digital course. Five years later I want to do a digital course. I'm going to go back to it. So I don't want you to use all of it overnight. I want you to take even one thing from that training and begin to apply it actively. And that will be enough to get you into the momentum to propel you forward. So I hook you up with all the guidance on how to take those actions as you leave the training and as you conclude the training. Plus when you sign up. Now we're registered through Thursday. We close this card Thursday, it's completely closed. But there's $3,500 in bonuses and some of those bonuses are training calls with me to help you stay consistent in the momentum of that eight week training that you're going to go through. And then the other two other two bonuses are a digital course called God is My Publicist, which you can never get on the Internet anymore. It's all about manifesting media for your message. And then another digital course called Spirit Junkie Business Basics, which my husband designed. It's all about the legalese and the, and the CPA to work with the CPA and how to negotiate and the things that we need to do from a business background standpoint. So that's $3,500 in bonuses that you get when you register on Thursday before the car or anytime when you register before Thursday.

So I just have to say that we came off of a two week book tour and I would have never been able to do any of this. I would have never had the energy to, to power through what I needed to do and to really be able to be on the road for this long, talking so confidently about exactly how I feel and knowing exactly what my message is without having done this masterclass. So I can't thank you enough for that.

See, you're saying that the training gave her the awareness and wherewithal to take care of yourself on the move and to be in your authentic story. And, yeah, I'm taking in. I'm feeling it.

I am so excited because every single year we have affiliated for you, and this year, we are giving away again, a 2019 Bliss Project ticket and a free signed copy of my book, A Tribe Called Bliss, along with my seven Sacred Agreements workshop.
