This week on the podcast I get to geek out coach-to-coach with Halle Eavelyn.   Halle is a Transformational Coach, speaker, and writer who helps people break out of their old patterns so they can live their best lives, the ones they always yearned for. Drawing on over 30 years of business experience in software, real estate, the movie business and travel. she works with a variety of intuitive modalities; her work is deep and extremely fast, with clients experiencing powerful shifts easily, so she chooses one-on-one and group clients who are ready for extraordinary growth. After her spiritual awakening in Egypt, she wrote the spiritual travel memoir, Red Goddess Rising, which tells that story and all about the subsequent trips she’s led up the Nile for over a decade. A former blogger for The Huffington Post, she is also the author of 100 Ways To Be In Joy, and her latest book, NutriGlamorous, How To Be Beautiful Inside and Out.   Links:  Halle's website: https://halleeavelyn.com/   Application to work with me: https://forms.gle/7FcFxCFBQE6cpDVg8 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckybrett.live LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckybrett3/ Music: iScream by Brendan Caldwell Labyrinth drawing originally created by artist Kathy Pullen

Halle Eavelyn Breaks All The Things To Receive Clarity

This week I get to bring you another graduation call with my client and dear friend, Ronei Harden-Moroney. Ronei is a writer, educator, and editor. We met in 2013 in a Facebook group started by author Jon Acuff, and she has become like a sister to me.  So when I saw her struggling to return to her badass self following some significant medical battles, I had to say something and offer my services.  I can hardly wait for you to hear Ronei's story!

Ronei Harden Releases Emotional Responsibility

My guest this week is Lauren Chu, the communications officer for Operation Groundswell. OG is a travel company with a conscience, leading backpacktivists to experiential learning opportunities around the globe (when we *can* travel, that is).   Ethical travel and responsible international volunteering is at the heart of all that they do – both abroad and at home. But what exactly does that mean? I'll link their manifesto in the show notes, but I want to share two of the nine points that particularly spoke to me.   FULL LIFE LIVIN’: The world has infinite opportunities for wonder and enjoyment. Every tree can be a playground, every street can be your dance floor. We squeeze the sweet nectar out of every opportunity the world throws at us. “Gee, that mountain seems impossibly high,” to which we would respond, “That must mean that the top is impossibly beautiful!”   Leadership: We are training the next generation of positive leaders. There are enough leaders in the world that tell people how to think. We believe the greatest leaders are the ones that teach people how to think for themselves.   I could not agree more.   It is against this backdrop that I discovered Lauren Chu. You know on this podcast I like to interview people whose careers are...let's say...nonlinear. Lauren started her career in manufacturing at PepsiCo.   Despite studying engineering, Lauren much prefers valleys and mountains over valves and mechanics. She once planted 7000 trees in a day, cycled the length of Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, and has been on a 500km hike through the Appalachian Wilderness. In the summer you can find her on canoe trips or hike & bike adventures; in the winter, playing a pick-up hockey game on outdoor rinks or flying down a mountain on a snowboard. Lauren is keen to marry a passion for education with a love of travel with OG!   Links: Website: https://www.operationgroundswell.com/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/operationgroundswell/   Application to work with me: https://forms.gle/7FcFxCFBQE6cpDVg8 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckybrett.live LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckybrett3/ Music: iScream by Brendan Caldwell Labyrinth drawing originally created by artist Kathy Pullen

Kim Chestney Unleashes Our Inner Intuitives

I've come up with a new way to set New Year's Resolutions that feels much more supportive to me. Maybe this will resonate with you, too.  It's about choosing to feel and be rather than do and achieve, and think this is going to be a game changer for me and how I structure my goals this coming year.  Application to work with me: https://forms.gle/7FcFxCFBQE6cpDVg8 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckybrett.live LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckybrett3/ Music: iScream by Brendan Caldwell

Kimra Luna Slows US The Eff Down In The Name Of Pleasure

Thank you for indulging me this week, as I've come down with laryngitis--not a great sound for a podcaster, but here we are. So I combed through the archives and unearthed this interview with Isabel Hundt from March of 2018. Isabel is a sociologist, speaker, certified transformation coach, emotions clearing practitioner and visionary who lives in a world of endless possibilities. I figured we could all use a little Isabel right about now, as we slide on toward the end of the most globally insane year ever. Enjoy!

Isabel Hundt Helps Us Get Emotionally Healthy (a rerun from 2018)

Over the past few weeks the subject of "taking out the trash" has sort of taken over my inbox. It is hands down the most effective tool I use in my coaching practice when I first start working with a client. So I'm turning "Taking Out The Trash" into a course for anyone who doesn't have the time yet to devote to working with me one-on-one. This week's podcast episode is a preview of the course and an overview of how we take out the trash to make way for what is coming in for us.  If you'd like to enroll in the course, email me (becky@virtualexecutivedirector.com) and I'll get you the info.  Application to work with me: https://forms.gle/7FcFxCFBQE6cpDVg8 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckybrett.live LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckybrett3/ Music: iScream by Brendan Caldwell

Becky Takes Out The Trash

This week on the podcast I have the privilege of sharing another graduation call with one of my clients, Cha Barefield.   But before I pull back the curtain on Cha's transformation, I want to remind you that as we near the end of 2020, the time is right to clear out the energetic trash from this year and set intentions for the new. Using the mantra of the labyrinth as a guide (release, receive, return), I work with clients one-on-one to release the habits, thought patterns, and relationships that no longer serve them; receive new behaviors, beliefs, and supportive relationships; and return to integrate these into their lives by setting and holding boundaries, practicing new behaviors, and supporting them through the inevitable setbacks, because transformation is not a straight path.   If you're interested in working with me, the application is in the show notes or you can DM me on Instagram.   A bit about my guest this week: Cha and I met a few years ago at a conference, and loosely orbited each other ever since. This year, we started paying more attention to each other on Instagram, as she launched The Cha Show and began interviewing interesting people about important topics.   Cha is a story weaver. She is a hope slinger and a fierce encourager, connecting people to themselves, to each other, and to their dreams. Cha is ALL IN! She not only believes in seeing people, she believes in the knowing, the learning, and the loving of people. She believes in the pursuit of relationships, humanity, equality, and the beauty of what it is to share space with someone that may otherwise go unknown.   Links: Cha Barefield: http://chabarefield.com/ Cha's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabare/   Application to work with me: https://forms.gle/7FcFxCFBQE6cpDVg8 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckybrett.live LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckybrett3/ Music: iScream by Brendan Caldwell

Cha Barefield Gets Pre-emptively Comfortable

Because I've been away on a personal retreat, I've decided to rerun an episode from earlier this year. This week on the podcast chef Travis Milton and I talk about unintentional mentors -- you know, those people who are motivational for NONE of the reasons they think they are!   Travis Milton is the executive chef at Taste, a restaurant at Nicewonder Farm & Vineyards. Whether he’s waxing poetic about bean varieties, quoting The Golden Girls, or putting the finishing touches on the dry-aged steak he just pulled from the fire, Travis is passionate about it all. Appalachia is in his DNA, so every item on the menu harkens to a unique part of his life story, the story of our region, or his journey to help usher the ancient Foodways into the 21st century while paying homage to the past.

Rerun: Unintentional Mentors with Chef Travis Milton

It's been a long road for realtor Shanna Berry to open Dharma Pharmaceuticals, the first medical cannabis dispensary in Virginia. This week we talk about how she got here, you get to hear my dorky ignorance on full display, and Shanna gets to the heart of what it means to react, adapt, and persevere.  Links: Dharma Pharmaceuticals website: https://www.dharmacann.com/   Application to work with me: https://forms.gle/7FcFxCFBQE6cpDVg8 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckybrett.live LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckybrett3/ Music: iScream by Brendan Caldwell

From Seed to Sale with Cannabis Entrepreneur Shanna Berry

This week's episode is inspired by an oracle card pull I did in the middle of the night on Halloween during the height of the full moon. The cards inspired me to talk about five things that might be helpful for our community to release this week, so that we can make room for what will truly serve us.  If you like this episode, drop me a comment or message me on Instagram, and I'll do more of them.  And if you're releasing one of these things, let me know how it goes for you!  Application to work with me: https://forms.gle/7FcFxCFBQE6cpDVg8 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckybrett.live LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckybrett3/ Music: iScream by Brendan Caldwell

Time for Cosmic Releasing

This week I stroll through the labyrinth with travel writer Catherine Smith, founder and creator of HerBagsWerePacked.com.  Catherine has traveled the world solo and ended up moving to southwest Virginia, just in time for COVID-19 to shut everything down.  We talk about travel, releasing your baggage no matter where you are, and how the optimism of January can give way to an abundance of life lessons.
