A SoulFeed Highlight

Today, we have a very special treat for you. Thanks to our guest from season 2, Shannon Algeo, we get to introduce you to his podcast, Soulfeed. On Soulfeed, Alex Kip and Shannon Algeo help you meet your higher self through their inspirational episodes and enlightening interviews. I'm personally a big fan. Just keep listening for one of Shannon's episodes, called "Get Financially Lit." I thought it would be a great one to highlight because although we tend to focus more on finding happiness than success on The Peace of Persistence, that's one piece of our bigger puzzle to achieving a higher life satisfaction.

On this episode of Soulfeed, Shannon helps you identify
– What is money?
– 5 key steps to live in alignment with your purpose and earn.
– How to develop an empowered relationship with money now, and
– Ways to allow yourself to receive what you want in this life.

We'll be back with the next episode of The Peace of Persistence in one week, on March 1, where I get to talk with the founder of Michael Chadwick Photography, who's had to work very hard on achieving the happiness he's found in his life.

Show notes:
Mindfulness primer:
Mindfulness can be meditating for any period of time, or sensing the body from the inside out. Shannon discusses the idea from Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now of sensing your body, your hand, your pinky finger. "Mindfulness is sensing and coming to know your location in yourself and in the world." He calls it a radical practice, compared to the rest of life, which can be so focused on stuff and identifying with stories that our thoughts tell us. He discusses the breath and experiencing boredom as a way to retrain the brain, seeing it as a counter-culture practice that helps us to connect to who we are beneath the surface.

Use attention and intention to have a "more nuanced, more felt experience." Referencing Brene Brown, Shannon also talks about how when we numb our negative feelings and thoughts, we also numb joy and connection - that we can't be selective about what we numb in life.

The people we draw into our inner circle are reflections of ourselves. When we're activated by someone else's energy, negatively or positively, it's a chance to evaluate opportunities for our own healing and growth - what it is we want to desire or create. When we do the work within ourselves to understand when we have more toxic relationships, it can help us to create boundaries to show others what we need. It comes back to mindfulness and responsibility in our own relationships.

What would you like the world to see differently?
"Who you are anywhere is who you are everywhere." You are enough, you are a leader, and people need you. "It's time to show up."

Any other advice for us?
If we're gentle (peaceful) with ourselves while being persistent and committed, "then we're going to be so powerful."
