Do you ever feel like a fraud? Like any minute, people will see through the facade and see you for what you are...a fake. Just pretending while everyone else clearly has it all figured out. This is imposter syndrome. And it shows up in more ways than you can imagine. So let's talk about it and share some real world examples so you put it rest for good.

People make manifesting so much harder than it needs to be. Complicated. Conflicted. Frustrating. The truth of the matter is that it's a simple, natural process. Something anyone can do with ease. If only we'd get out if our way! In this episode we break down the most common ways that people tend to muck up the process and make it infinitely harder than it needs to be.

Manifesting is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. And for some people it can all seem pretty woo. People are right to be skeptical. Most times, it's talked about in vague terms, or made out to be some supernatural occurrence. That's why we broke it down into no-nonsense terms in this episode of Illumination Podcast.

Nothing destroys productivity and self esteem quite like procrastination. I don't care who you are, when you break agreements with yourself, it puts a chink in your confidence. Enough of those chinks and things start to get really shaky really fast. It doesn't feel good. So why do we do this? And more importantly, what can we do about it?! That's what you'll learn in this episode of Illumination Podcast™, "What to do about Procrastination." Kisma and Nick help you to understand why this happens and give you some of their best strategies for breaking this frustrating habit.

We've all got one of these... Maybe it's a cousin, or family member. Maybe it's a co-worker. Maybe a friend that gets on your nerves. Some people might tell you to just cut them out of your life. We're not those people (extreme cases aside, of course). Because these people a walking opportunities for your own personal development and insight. They can help us see parts of ourselves that we'd rather ignore. They give us a chance to develop new communication skills. Recognize our own triggers and vulnerabilities. But only if you have the right attitude toward them, and toward yourself. If you're like me, and you have trouble peopling from time to time. We'll show you what to do, and what NOT to do in these challenging situations. And who knows. That annoying cousin may just have a part of themselves they've never revealed that's more wonderful than you would have imagined. Let us know what you discover. Nick

It's been a minute! And we're so happy to be back in the podcast studio. This episode is based on a question that we get all the time, because it's not always easy to keep up with the pace of our modern world. Even if your life is full of awesome people and things, the sheer volume is sometimes overwhelming. Beyond that, when you start to stretch beyond your comfort zone- mentally, emotionally, spiritually- things can start to spin out. Sometimes this happens without even realizing! Nick shares an incredibly useful shift in perspective that will help you get your feet on the ground, and something simple you can do right now to set things right side up. Kisma goes to her roots in philosophy to cut through all the noise of the mind chatter so you can take your next step and follow through on your dreams. We can't wait to catch you up on all the fun things we've been up to. Listen in because we've got more episodes on the way, so stay tuned for weekly releases.

Regardless of where we are on the globe, humans come across the same type of challenges that can affect our mindset if we let it. The key is to take a difficult moment or experience and see the gift in it, pull out the good from it, and create something magical with it. This is what our special guest, Andrew Michael Simon did with his infamous Andy’s Licorice Talks— a bizarre and wonderful way he created a movement of clarinet players from all over the globe. Join Nick and Kisma for Episode 241 of Illumination Academy and their Special Celebrity Guest for a success mindset. Here's where you can connect with Andy:

I always love it when Kisma goes Cosmic. Today was one of those days. And you might be wondering how this is going to help you exist around other humans (part 3 of our latest series). But being about to see others from the Cosmic level changes everything. It puts everything in its right place and takes off a huge amount of pressure to be anything other than exactly who you are. Existing with other humans is part of the human experience. If you follow the simple instructions at the end of this episode, not only will you have more ease and confidence, you'll also open the door for profound healing and compassion. Atma Namaste!

Being around other people isn't always easy. We might be feeling insecure, or comparing ourselves to others. Or maybe feeling misunderstood, like no one will "get" you. Some of us are just very uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations. We feel you. And I know that the episode we have to share today will hit home. You'll learn three simple words that will give you everything you need to step in as your Authentic Self with more confidence and make wonderful connections. P.S. Thanks to Brené Brown for putting these three words together in such an amazing way, and inspiring this conversation.

+++++++++++++++ People are weird. Sometimes I just look a them and think, “Wow. I just…Wow…” And I’ll bet they think the same thing about me. And you for that matter, dear listener. Because we all live in our own little world, but we also have to deal with all the people we encounter- who are living in their own little worlds too. And sure, you can judge and criticize and ridicule all you want, but what if there were a better way? In this episode of Illumination Podcast, Kisma and I want to share how you can make a simple and instant shift that would turn the whole circus on its head and make dealing with other people a thousand times easier.

Honestly, we could talk about The Four Agreements all day. If you've never read the book, we highly recommend bumping it to the top of your list. And after that, make sure you check out the follow-up...The FIFTH agreement. Who knew there was a fifth one? Who knew we even needed one?! Spoiler alert: It's brilliant. And we definitely did need this one. In fact, it's especially relevant in the information age because it will help you separate truth from lies. It will also help you connect with others with compassion and understanding rather than frustration. This is one you don't want to miss. Listen in to the Fifth Agreement... Be Skeptical, But Learn To Listen! P.S. If you don't have a copy (I've gone through probably a dozen over the years) here's a link.

It seems simple enough. You probably learned it in kindergarten. But somewhere along the way, things started to slip.. Just a little at first. Maybe to save some time, or just because you got distracted. And every time you slip, it erodes a little more of your self-confidence. The self-judgmental chatter starts to ratchet up. The power of this one simple agreement is truly profound. And while it is simple to say, "Always do your best," actually doing it is another story. To stick to it, you'll need to understand ONE thing first... Join us as we talk about this pinnacle agreement from Don Miguel Ruiz's iconic book. Listen now. P.S. If you don't have a copy (I've gone through probably a dozen over the years) here's a link.

My dad had this very "Dad" saying I grew up hearing. He'd say, "Never assume. It makes and ass out of u and me." Us kids always giggled at that one, but turns out, Dad was spot on. When you take a deeper look at the assumptions we make and why we make them, it's staggering. Especially when you consider that those assumptions are one of the primary causes of "ALL the sadness and drama you've experienced in your life." I mean...just...wow. Fortunately, for us, Don Miguel Ruiz takes a deep look at assumptions in his 3rd agreement, and in this episode of Illumination Podcast we open the conversation up about how this applied in our daily lives. And honestly, it's a little mind blowing, and we can't wait to share it with you. P.S. If you don't have a copy (I've gone through probably a dozen over the years) here's a link.

When was the last time your life turned upside down because someone said something bad to you? We've all been there. But with this one simple agreement, you never need to experience that again. Ok, it might take a little practice, but it really is as simple as this lesson from The Four Agreements. In part 2 of our series covering this self help masterpiece, we talk in depth about the 2nd agreement, Don't Take Things Personally. Peace! Nick & Kisma P.S.

Love songs are beautiful. And terribly dysfunctional… Look, we love a great love song (or RomCom for that matter) as much as anyone. But the truth is that the beliefs and ideas deeply embedded in our culture around love and relationships create massive stress in relationships. When it comes to having happy and healthy relationships, it’s not always so simple… One person goes through a tough time, and pulls the other into it. (We’re in this together, right?) Toxicity creeps in. Slowly our energy is drained. Managing your energy in relationships is critical to stay out of these destructive patterns, but it can seem counterintuitive because of the beliefs we’ve picked up along the way about love and relationships. There’s one technique we teach that changes the game (you can learn it here) and there is one question that we ALWAYS get… This episode sets the record straight with fresh insight and powerful tools to allow more love and create more freedom in all of your relationships. Peace! Nick & Kisma P.S. You can find Nick’s energy training at
