<p><a href="https://juliecusmariu.com/2019/03/voices-that-create-change/julie-cusmariu-4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can listen to the full podcast</a> and how the title and topic for the show emerged within less than 24 hours, how going with the flow is not necessarily easy, and does take awareness, courage and can lead to strength, resilience and trust. I take us into a brief experience of ‘flow’, also distinguishing between ‘flow state’, the psychological concept, and ‘going with the flow’, and overall I’ve been hearing from listeners that they felt more ‘in the flow’ after tuning in. I know I did, thankfully. What about you ?</p>

<p>International Coaching Week just ended for 2018. Even Jeopardy has Coaching as a question. &#8220;Alex, what is professional coaching?&#8221; Correct. The International Coaching Federation has existed since 1995 dedicated to advancing the art, science and practice of professional coaching.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a certified life coach since 2007 and a certified mentor coach since 2016 based in Montreal, Canada. I coach leaders, artists and creative individuals to trust their intuition, make better decisions, gain clarity and lead with meaning and purpose. I work with incredibly inspiring individuals/clients I love and am inspired by each day, who live all over the world. <span class="text_exposed_show">I learn from them and it is an honour to support them in honouring themselves and the world in which we live. As a life coach I support individuals in revving up the courage and strength to be who they are fully, completely and unapologetically.</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<p>The <a href="http://www.coachingfederation.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">International Coaching Federation</a> and the incredible coaches, mentors and friends I have met along the way have helped support my own personal and professional development in significant ways.</p>
<p>If you have yet to experience coaching I recommend it highly. Athletes have coaches to reach their potential, who said everyday life doesn&#8217;t merit someone to walk alongside you and be your support and champion too? I do, it has helped me immensely as an individual experiencing different life transitions and more. As a coach it has been an honour to create the space for others to realize themselves and be heard and seen in a safe, supportive place.</p>
<p>Professional coaching exists throughout the world in many countries with thousands of coaching professionals and is ever growing. Find out more here. And if you have any questions share a comment below. Cheers everyone.</p>
<p>May you let your intuition lead and may you blaze your own trail.</p>
<p>I host a weekly live podcast dedicated to inspiring change personally and globally, similarly to the mission and purpose of coaching. To inspire and support positive change. Have a <a href="http://www.JulieinConversation.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">listen here</a>.</p>

<p>What is real, deep, transformative rest? How does rest differ from self-care? Listen to this 47 second sound byte of an excerpt from <a href="http://www.daringtorest.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karen Brody</a>&#8216;s powerful book Daring to Rest to find out her wise insight. Karen joined me in conversation on my podcast <a href="https://juliecusmariu.com/2018/02/julie-in-conversation-motherhood/karen-brody/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#Motherhood #LetsCreateAVillage</a> and we had a fun and meaningful time talking motherhood, rest as a remedy, yoga nidra as medicine, feminine leadership and how the human experience is about both the being and the becoming. I really enjoyed speaking with Karen. She is delightful and wise.  Let me know what you have gained from this conversation.</p>
<p>Much wisdom was shared. Karen is a pioneering woman leading us towards more deep rest and thriving. One take away that really resonated for me amidst many was that I need to PRIORITIZE rest. If I don&#8217;t make it a priority then it simply won&#8217;t happen. This sounds simple, yet with priority comes alignment, boundaries, and purpose. It calls forth focus and commitment. May you make space in your day for deep rest and may you make yourself and rest a priority.</p>
<p>As a Life Coach and Intuitive Consultant (based in Montreal) I support women leaders and creatives finding rest, a time to pause,  so that they can hear the gentle whispers of their soul, their wise inner voice and thus lead with their heart and thrive.<br />
May you create the space to experience deep rest and if you want to dive deeper into how <a href="https://juliecusmariu.com/services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I can support you with this, click here .</a></p>

<p>Timing is everything. And so it was just perfect when I received the article about <a href="http://www.mindful.org/loving-kindness-meditation-cultivate-resilience/" target="_blank">Loving- Kindness meditation </a>from mindful magazine. I was reminded of this practice that I enjoy and that is proven to increase positive emotions and offer other long term benefits. As my impulse to polarize individuals and myself based upon the politics amongst us takes over, I welcome this reminder to integrate the Loving- Kindness practice into my day. Even when walking, I am remembering to use this mindful practice of offering well wishes to myself and others. It provides some sense of equanimity and increases well-being.  Loving- Kindness. Compassion for self. Compassion for others. Acceptance.  It is a practice after all. You can read about some<a href="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/raising_happiness/post/better_than_sex_and_appropriate_for_kids" target="_blank"> benefits shared by The Greater Good Science Center.</a></p>
<p>This is a practice that can be done with kids too, of course.</p>
<p>These two curly cherubs in the photo, my precious boys,  keep me extremely humble at the magnitude of the emotional maturity I require. I am thankful I was able to capture this moment of loving kindness and joy between these two. Of course this is not always how they relate but these moments make me remember how love and joy radiates and can fill us up. It reminds me that in our communities we can  strive to get along, connect to our similarities and let our differences be celebrated. To much loving kindness to yourself and others. Cheers to us all! PEACE.</p>
