Brianna Brown Keen: Manifest Your Mission Now

She dives deep into her experiences in Hollywood, overcoming challenges and personal obstacles, her 501c3 nonprofit The New Hollywood, and how her experiences led her to develop the Manifesting Your Mission coaching program and guidebook. She dives deep into her WHY of creating the Manifesting Your Mission Podcast, from the purpose behind each segment to curating a group of inspiring guests to interview. Get ready to learn how to live intentionally, set goals, and give back through the Manifesting Your Mission Podcast with Brianna Brown Keen! In this episode, you will learn… • The inspiration behind 501c3 nonprofit The New Hollywood. • How Brianna’s own challenges and experiences led to developing the Manifesting Your Mission method and guidebook. • How to live intentionally, get clear on your goals, and use your voice to make a positive impact. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson, “A Return to Love” Time Codes: 00:00 Introduction and Background 11:07 Creating The New Hollywood 26:03 Using Your Platform for Positive Impact 29:15 Curating a Podcast of Inspiration and Respected Individuals 33:24 The Format and Purpose of Manifesting Your Mission 38:17 Living Intentionally and Setting Goals 45:04 The Journey to Health & Wellness 57:02 Powerful Quotes to Inspire and Motivate Apple Podcasts Listeners: Click “Episode Website” below the show notes to view them in full, including bonus links, recommendations, and goodies!
