Competition has long been ingrained in our society, particularly among women. From a young age, we are taught to compare ourselves to others, to strive to be better, and to believe that there is only room for one at the top.

194: Embodying and Awakening Grace in the Heart: Opening Space for Transformation
Transcendence
Did you know that my name, Carissa, actually means grace? Grace is not just a word; it's a frequency, a way of being. It's about living a graceful life, sharing gracefully, and embodying that energy in all aspects of our lives. When we tap into grace, everything feels peaceful and aligned. It's a journey of reconnecting with our soul wisdom and finding peace within ourselves. Success, to me, is synonymous with peace. If we are at peace, we are succeeding.

Memorable Quotes
"True transformation is always predicated on dying to something. So, transformation is way more about unlearning, unbecoming than it is about learning or becoming. We don't achieve our way to our full potential. We die our way there.” [00:27:49] - Jake Kauffman
"The secret to getting what you want is to stop wanting, because paradoxically, what do you do when all of a sudden you stop wanting, you relax. And when you relax, what do you do? You do what you enjoy. You do what comes most naturally and authentically to you. And by virtue, what happens, you end up getting what you want." [00:51:41] - Jake Kauffman
