I Heart My Life Show

For some, hitting rock bottom marks the end of their dreams. For others, it is the springboard they need to mark a new beginning. We all face obstacles and setbacks in life. Some of them are easily shaken, while others shake us straight to our core. But even when all seems lost, we have a choice to make: either own up to our mistakes and learn the lessons life has in store for us, or ignore all the signs, refuse to evolve, and wade deeper into trouble until we reach rock bottom.  Today’s guest on The I Heart My Life Show, Daniel Mangena, is one of those rare people who always manages to bounce back stronger and more aligned with their mission than ever before. He is a coach, speaker, best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and all-round problem-solver who uses both his life experience and his signature Beyond Intention Paradigm to help others live an abundant, joyful, and purpose-driven life. Growing up, Dan knew with absolute certainty that he would become a millionaire. His unshakeable self-belief le

Would I have to let go of my team? Shut down our courses and programs? Wave goodbye to some of our revenue streams while I figured out what would come next? These were just a handful of the decisions I faced after I realized that I Heart My Life (as it was) was no longer aligned with the mission and vision I’d originally set out to follow, and that the only options on the table were to pivot or to remain unfulfilled in my business.  All I knew was that the company I’d been building for eight years wasn’t working the way I wanted it to; that I was sick and tired of it not working, and that I couldn’t settle for anything that didn’t light me up for a moment longer. And although I had no idea what the solution would look like, I knew that if I just kept following the breadcrumbs, and continued doing my mindset work, I’d reach the answers I was looking for. As a seven-figure visionary who was steering the IHML ship, I definitely felt the weight of the responsibility on my shoulders to get this rebrand right.

Is your past holding you back from living the life you deserve and desire? Although you may not always be aware of it, your present circumstances (your routine, your reality, and the people, places, and things you choose to surround yourself with) are a direct reflection of the beliefs you hold to be true about yourself. And more often than not, these limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns go way back into your past—to the core wounds that have shaped your self-image.  Each one of us has experienced losses, traumas, and disappointments. And no matter what the source or scope of our trauma may be, we all seek coping strategies that suppress negative emotions in order to shield ourselves from pain. This is a natural and necessary self-defense mechanism—but also the root of all subconscious self-sabotage. We repeat patterns passed on by our primary caregivers until they become our default setting—and as time goes on, it becomes increasingly difficult to identify the root of our suffering. If you’ve ever f

Ever wondered what would happen if you woke up one morning and realized the seven-figure business you’d been building for years doesn’t fulfil you anymore? Or worse, if you looked around and didn’t even recognize the business you’d built, because it feels so far from the mission and vision you’d originally set out to follow? And what if you realized that after years of helping others love their lives, you no longer enjoy your own? These are the kinds of questions that keep entrepreneurs up at night—and the questions we all hope we’ll never have to answer. But this year, I found myself facing each of those fears head-on, and finding out the answers—the hard way. There were times I thought I’d have to let go of my team and my clients, shut the whole thing down, and start from scratch. (Spoiler alert: I didn’t do any of those things. But I DID go through all the trials and tribulations of following your heart—which led to greater alignment than I ever thought possible.) Things are about to get VERY real and vuln

Many of us dream of working 30 hour weeks—but what if you could work 30 hour MONTHS while traveling the world with your family and bringing in multiple 7 figures in revenue every year? Today’s guest Lisa Johnson has figured out the formula to do just that—and it’s all thanks to building her business on a passive income model.  As you know, I’ve always been passionate about helping women like you to create a life of financial abundance. But I’ve never believed in settling for business success alone—because what’s the point of making millions when you’re working around the clock, staring at the same four office walls, and never even seeing your kids? Unless you build your business in a way that supports your life (NOT the other way around), you’ll never be fully satisfied. And I won’t let you settle for anything less than you deserve and desire, lovely!  The beauty of this new age of business is that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. You can move right past the realm of what’s ‘realistic’ and mak

Picture this—the opportunity of your life shows up right on your doorstep. I’m talking about the chance to transform your life, uplevel your business, and literally start living out your wildest dreams. It’s here, and it’s yours for the taking. How do you respond?  Is your knee-jerk reaction be a full-body-and-soul YES, or do you tell it to come back later while you mull over the logistics? Do you jump in and follow your deepest desires, or do you hold back because you’ve got other plans, or you don’t feel like traveling, or because you’d have to sort out a babysitter to make it work? Maybe you even question the timing, or wonder whether you’re worthy of receiving it in the first place. This scenario may seem too good to be true, but in reality, I see it play out every single day. The women in my community have unlimited potential to transform their lives and create a reality that’s better than their dreams—but all too often, they are actively blocking their own path. And you know what? They’re too close

What does your decision-making process look like? Do you lean all the way into your intuition, or structure your points with rock-solid data? Turns out, the most successful CEOs find a balance of both—or invest in advisors who make the right call for them.  Whether you’re still finding your feet in business or already scaling your way to 6 or 7 figures, strategic decision-making is a skill you’ve simply got to master. The sooner you do it, the easier it will be to steer your team in the right direction—and the quicker you’ll get to your next goal.  I may be as heart-centered as they come, but there’s no denying that things can slip through the cracks fast when you start losing sight of the facts. On the other hand, if you’re spending all of your time chasing numbers and comparing your biz to your competition, you could soon find yourself chairing up a business you don’t believe in. The sweet spot lies somewhere between thinking, feeling, learning, and executing—and today’s guest has a knack for help

Here’s a struggle all coaches know well. It’s one thing to coach your clients through their fears and self-doubts, and another thing entirely to coach yourself through them. So often, the very problems we help our clients solve are the blocks we experience on our own business journeys. That’s why coaches need coaches, too!  Sometimes, all it takes is ONE powerful question from someone who’s got no skin in the game to clear up the confusion, shift your entire perspective on a situation, and take the next steps necessary to move forward with confidence.  And that’s exactly what happens in today’s episode of The I Heart My Life Show. I sat down for a live coaching session with Gayle Damiano—a high-performance intuitive coach, a medium, and a self-defined “sober mom boss.” Through a mix of spiritual readings and coaching, Gayle helps her clients to tune into their intuition, speak to their highest self, and learn how to trust their inner voice. Gayle has been in the business for years—she’s amazing at w

If there’s one thing people always forget about the law of attraction, it’s action. It’s true, you DO have the power to change your reality by changing your thoughts. But it’s not enough to simply think your desires into existence—you’ve got to ACT on them, too. Yes, even when your desires feel further away than ever.  Easier said than done? Maybe, seeing as our actions are often based on the way we’re feeling—and our moods have a tendency to fluctuate (sometimes for no apparent reason).  So how can you train your brain to stay the course and keep your vibration high, even when nothing is working the way you’d hoped and all you want to do is throw in the towel? What can you do to dig yourself out of your pit of despair and desperation, and keep on chasing your purpose? How can you stop stacking up the problems, blaming everyone and everything around you, and defaulting to anxiety and overwhelm? Well, lovely, that’s exactly what I’m talking about in this episode of the I Heart My Life Show. You see,

In love, as in business, you’ve got to be really mindful of who you attract into your world. And unless you take a step back to examine and shift the limiting beliefs you’ve formed around relationships over the years, you might just find yourself settling for less than you deserve (or worse, stuck in a perpetual cycle of bad dates and heartbreaks!). As you know, I met my husband James online, so I’m a big believer in the power of dating apps. But it didn’t happen by accident. I’m always talking about the importance of mindset when it comes to manifesting your desires, and dating is no different. Do I think it’s possible to manifest your dream partner? YES. But you also have to be willing to do the deep work it takes to get there—and take brave, vulnerable action.  I may not be on the dating scene anymore, but I know many of you are—so in today’s episode of the I Heart My Life Show, I sat down with dating and relationship coach Melanie Hersch. If you’ve been dating for a while, swiping left and right hopi

Have you ever set out to accomplish something, only to find that upon completion of the goal that it doesn’t bring about the elation you thought it would? Ever had an idea in your head of the areas you need to achieve in order to be considered successful, only to find that when you attain these things for yourself, it doesn’t feel as good on the inside as it looks on the outside? Goals and desires are two very different things, and oftentimes they don’t work in harmony together. Learning to discern the difference will help you live a more fulfilling existence, and could potentially save you from going down the wrong path. The key to success in any area, it seems, is to know yourself wholly, and honor your wants and needs in any experience. In my opinion, there’s no one better to speak on this than MD and Coach Alexandra Stockwell, whose energy and enthusiasm for life should be an inspiration to us all. Today, she’s fully expressed and in her element, but it wasn’t always this way. As you’ll find out in this e

When it comes to strategy, there is no one-size fits all approach. What works for someone else, might not necessarily work for you, given your different dreams, desires, wants and needs. Nowhere is this more true than in the space of sales.  Sure, there are tactics that are on trend, tried and tested and seem to produce great results. But if they are not in alignment with your core values and goals, you are unlikely to see the same success with them - and if you do, it won’t be sustainable. The good news is that you can construct a sales strategy that honors your vision for your business, and in this episode, I’m sharing exactly how to go about doing that.  The process involves a meeting of spirituality and science, and we’ll be making use of tools to help you access your intuitive knowledge. Whether you’re into woo or not, I believe that following your inner compass is key to creating a business that works for you. When you’re in alignment, you’re happier, things run more smoothly, and you are far

Sometimes you have high hopes, big dreams… and no idea where to start. We’ve all been there. For some of us, we have a deep rooted fear of failure that keeps us stuck in procrastination mode. For others, it’s fear of success that prevents us from moving forward. We worry what people will think if we actually achieve what it is we set out to, and how other areas of our lives will be impacted - for better or for worse. Much of the time, we’re simply so passionate about what it is we’re working towards that we can’t seem to see the steps we need to take to get there. In this instance, sometimes all we need is a good conversation with someone who’s not in the thick of it and can help us break it down into bite size chunks so we can start taking action. If you relate to any (or all!) of the above, then you are going to love this podcast episode, which is a real life coaching call with Jada Hartfield. She’s a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army who is currently working on answering her calling of my passion of helpin

Want to know the number one mistake people make when it comes to attracting leads? Placing more focus on quantity over quality. Truth be told, without ensuring that the leads you’re acquiring are fully in alignment with what your business does and who you want to serve, you are setting yourself up for failure… because it’s better to have a smaller amount of high quality leads than it is to have tons of poor quality ones. So what do I mean by high quality leads, exactly? This refers to someone who is ready, able and willing to buy from you - someone who LOVES your product rather than just likes it. In other words, it’s your ideal client, because let’s face it, not all clients are created equally. And neither are all leads. In this high-value episode, I’m sharing everything you need to know about attracting the best possible leads for your business. I’m diving deep into the most common traps that entrepreneurs fall into, how to tell if you’re ready to launch a one-to-many program, and exploring the importance o

The universe rewards the brave. Sometimes, we’re not entirely sure where it is we're meant to end up, but we just have a niggling feeling that we’re destined for more. On the other hand, we might think we have it all worked out and a clear direction of where we’re going, only to find that it was just a stepping stone to somewhere even greater than we could have ever imagined. That was certainly the case for my guest for this episode, Michelle Sorro, who, having secured her career in TV (something she had dreamt of since she was a little girl), found her date with destiny after being gifted a ticket to a Tony Robbins event. Michelle is living proof that the Universe is rooting for us all and that if we leap, the net will appear. There will always be twists and turns along the way, but one thing she has learnt with hindsight is that there are always clues if you’re quiet enough to listen. That the destination is actually in the doing. The key is to follow what lights you up, and go forth with openness, courage

Maybe you can relate…  Despite implementing all the right strategies and marketing tactics, you might not be seeing the results you want. Perhaps you’re doing all the right things, but feel like you’re in a rut. Your business might be successful, but something might not feel right. You want to live your best life and step into bigger and better things, but guilt seems to hold you back.  If any of those ring true for you, this is a must-listen episode.  Truthfully, so many people out there, including many clients who come to work with me, are settling in life. They’re not taking their happiness or business to the next level because they feel greedy or guilty. (Or both.) So many of us have been raised to be grateful for what we have instead of always wanting more. In this episode, I flip the script on that thought process and encourage you to live your best life as your truest self. To help me do that, I dive into Wallace D. Wattles’ concept, the Impression of Increase.  Join me as I dive in

Life is full of unexpected challenges. We are bound to face loss and grief. There are times when we’re preoccupied with the chase of finding happiness that we forget to be happy. We get caught up in trying to find the answer to life’s biggest and often unprecedented obstacles. The truth is, the answers lie within ourselves.  We all possess an innate knowing that can guide us through our darkest days and most troubling times. But, unfortunately, we don’t always acknowledge its presence. That’s why I’m so happy to invite you to listen to this truly inspiring and touching conversation.  Wayne Dyer and his spiritual teaching influenced me in so many ways as I embarked on my own journey of personal development. His teachings inspired me to share my passion for personal growth with others. Wayne passed away in 2015. However, I hope to keep his spirit and teachings alive with this episode, where I chat with two of his incredible daughters, Serena and Saje.  Serena and Saje are following in their fathe

Psst… you don’t have to work a ton more hours to generate more income. This is great news for anyone who is already feeling a little stressed out. Maybe you’re already doing too much and can’t imagine adding another client to your plate. You might be working too many hours yet wishing you could find a way to reach even more people. (I’ve been there.)  That’s why I dedicated this episode to outlining the exact steps I took to scale my income from $442 to 7-figures in my first 18 months of business. In preparation for the upcoming 7-Figure Framework Workshop, I recently sat down to retrace the steps I took to scale my business and reach that 7-figure milestone. I’m excited to share them here with you because I want you to achieve the financial freedom you are craving. So, follow along as I dive into the story of how I scaled my business and how you can too. I quickly learned that I couldn’t scale my business to the extent I wanted following a time-for-money model. Listen as I explain the moves I made to go

Do you ever find yourself second-guessing your path in life? Maybe you know in your heart what you want to do but don’t quite know how to make it happen. Or perhaps you feel like it’s too late to start over or go after your dreams. Honestly, we could probably all use a little more alignment in our lives. It’s easy to get caught up in the expectations of others or the pressures we put on ourselves. The truth is, our souls will always lead us down the right path. (We just have to be willing to follow.)  Join me on this episode where I chat with the writer, mystic, devotional creative, and intuitive visionary Rebecca Campbell. I’ve admired Rebecca for many years and have wanted to have her on the show for quite some time. I’m so excited that the moment is finally here and that I get to share it here with you.  There is something so beautiful about the way she lets her soul and intuition guide her life. Follow along as we talk about how to move forward and follow your desires even when it feels scary. A

How many times do you find yourself relying on other people or external factors to feel happiness, worth, or success? The truth is, my husband James recently pointed out that I can fall into the trap of doing that from time to time— I know I’m not alone. Many females (especially entrepreneurs) get too caught up in things out of their control. They let those things dictate their feelings of happiness and worth and use them to measure their success.  What if I told you the key to changing this, the key to increasing genuine feelings of happiness and worthiness, lies in the present moment? (Hint: It does.)  Highly driven people are often hyper-focused on the future, thinking of all they still need to do to achieve their future vision. The result? They forget to pay attention to the steps they can take to become that future version of themself. They make themselves wrong for the space between where they are and where they want to be. Or they find themselves held back by the past, using it as evidence as
