What are you holding on to in your life? Unhealthy attachments lower our manifesting ability; signaling to the universe that we are vibrating on a level of fear and scarcity. However, you can take small, inspired steps to help you let go so you allow the natural flow of life to light your path forward. Listen in and increase your magnetism! 

What do you want to attract into your life? Kristine Carlson shares practical tools (including automatic writing, visualization, and meditation) to align with your deepest desires so you manifest them into reality. By dedicating just a few moments to these each day, you can create a more welcoming mental state to attract positive outcomes. 

Do you see the glass as half-full, or half-empty? When we perceive the world through a negative lens, we experience feelings of competition, fear, and negativity. By developing an abundance mindset, we begin to see life’s possibilities as infinite, and grow our optimism to see opportunities for every challenge. Kristine shares positive affirmations to help shift your focus from scarcity to abundance so your joy, freedom, and generosity blossoms.

It’s all too easy to focus on what we lack, rather than what we have. Yet manifestation requires us to ground in gratitude and align with our deepest intentions. In this new series, Kristine reveals the secret to cultivating a mindset of abundance so you activate your highest reality. 

Kristine Carlson shares a conversation with leadership coach Amy Eliza Wong to learn the process for lasting personal transformation Amy teaches to her top corporate clients [like Facebook, Airbnb, and Salesforce]. Learn how to live and lead on purpose in both your personal and professional life.

Do you live your life in a way you’ll be proud of in the end? In today’s episode, Kristine reveals the three most important questions to ask yourself when considering your legacy. Listen in, reflect and respond in your journal! 

Imagining the kind of legacy you wish to leave behind can be difficult. And too many of us consider our legacy too late in life; if at all. In today’s episode, Kristine Carlson walks you through an exercise to deepen your awareness of what’s most important to you. Listen in and leave inspired to align the way you live with the values closest to your heart. 

We often hear the importance of leaving behind a positive legacy. And as we live our forties, fifties, sixties, and beyond… this can feel like a big responsibility! Kristine shares a moving passage from An Hour to Live, an Hour to Love by Richard Carlson to show you the way forward to living your most impactful life.

How do you wish to be remembered when you’re gone? As we navigate midlife (and beyond), we are called upon to meditate on the kind of legacy we want to leave behind. We will likely desire to build a legacy of love, kindness, and compassion – definitely not one of sweating the small stuff! By keeping our mortality close to our hearts, we begin to live our life with greater intention – we begin to live to the point.  “If you had an hour to live and could make only one phone call—who would you call, what would you say, and why are you waiting? -Stephen Levine - An Hour to Live, an Hour to Love by Richard Carlson and Kristine Carlson
