If you are just starting out in the health and wellness industry or a beginner as a professional fitness instructor, you often need someone to hold your hand as you go. Unfortunately, it is sometimes hard to find a person willing to walk the journey with you. However, you can still look around to find someone that mentors you, directly or indirectly, to become the best version of yourself. We sat down with Molly Buster and had a nice chat about fitness, mentoring, and how you can improve your life through fitness and wellness. Molly Buster's techniques will come in handy to help you as a professional trainer and a health and wellness coach. Who Is Molly Buster? Molly Buster is a professional trainer and health and wellness coach. The 30-year-old professional hails and works in Kansas and has called the heights of professional coaching in the last seven years. Buster started out as a professional dancer but found herself drifting towards professional training and health and wellness. Buster's passion for health and wellness has seen her work with more than 10,000 clients, become a mentor and teacher within her club, train a team of trainers as a fitness manager, and run the training department as a personal training manager. Since 2020, Molly Buster has been the owner of Molly Buster Coaching, which is an online fitness business. She aims to help her clients achieve their health and wellness goals. She says that she is driven by the need to make her clients feel like health and fitness are accessible and attainable. The business was born at the height of the Covid 19 pandemic when Buster realized that her position in the company she worked for did not align with their goals as an individual or as a health and wellness professional. She wanted to incorporate her values into the system instead of having to work with rigid structures that sometimes didn't fit her clients. Professional Accomplishments Since joining college, Buster has worked on adding professional certifications to her portfolio. Here are the accomplishments she has achieved so far: • BFA in Dance • Tier 3+ Personal Trainer (Equinox) • Fitness Manager (Equinox) • Personal Training Manager (Equinox) Molly Buster continues to strive to become the best version she can be for her clients and for herself. Molly Buster On Her Creative Process As a professional who has worked with thousands of clients, Buster says that the best way to get results in training is through specific programming. She says that it is one of her favorite things to do every time she has a new client. Here are the questions she asks herself when creating a program for a client: • How can we efficiently tackle this client's goal while simultaneously helping them feel and move better? • And importantly, how can I make all of this feel manageable and doable for them so they can continue it? Molly Buster likes to approach this issue as a big math problem. She considers her client's goals, preconceived beliefs, health history, and injuries. She matches these with the needs she has identified and her professional expertise to come up with a unique program for each client. Buster says that all this information helps her identify the most important, urgent, and biggest dial movers to start with the client. It becomes the foundation where she and the client can build off of it for months or years to avoid the plateaus or expand as the goals change. Any Myths in the Profession? Like any other profession, the health and fitness profession has myths directed at it. Buster says that the most common myth is that health and fitness professionals are picture perfect and don't struggle with their health and wellness. This is what she has to say about this myth: "We are human, and I do not know a single trainer who has not gone through periods of hardship and low motivation. We too have times where we need accountability, support, and even coaches." Buster
further comments that even as a professional coach and health and wellness trainer, she has personal fitness goals she has to achieve. Sometimes, she has to hire a trainer for herself or consult with other experts in the industry to help her achieve her goals. Most Important Tools of Trade Buster says that professional trainer and health and wellness coach has to use all their tools whenever they are needed. She, however, says that with her online business, the Rogue War Bar is one of her personal favorites. It is a weightless bar that has the markings for the hand positions of a barbell. It allows in-person clients to practice barbell techniques without weight and allows her to do demo barbell movements in her office in virtual sessions and video demos. Any Advice for Budding Professionals? Buster has this to say to beginners in the industry: "No one expects you to have all the answers, not even your clients. Many new trainers feel like they need to know everything and be quipped to train anyone, an impossible task. It is perfectly acceptable to say, "I don't know, but I will find out," refer a client to a more equipped trainer or use these experiences to take on a mentor to help you grow to be the trainer your client needs. We all started as green trainers. Acknowledging we don't have all the answers helps us seek the education when need to become great ones."

Have you ever looked at somebody's career and thought, "That must be the hardest job one earth,"? You'd be surprised to know how much people in these "hard" careers enjoy what they do. If you ask most people enjoying their jobs, they did not get there by chance. They worked and made sacrifices to be where they are. Most importantly, they were passionate about getting where they are and did not let opinions sidetrack them. 29-year-old Aishah Newson from Santa Monica is just a month shy of graduating with an MS in Information & Data Science from UC Berkley. While most women would shy away from such a career, Newson knows this is where her heart belongs. However, it wasn't handed to her. She has had to work for it and find herself after going through many careers to settle for the one that feeds her curiosity. Data Science Is Not an Impossible Career Newson speaks about the most common myth people have about her profession. She says, "Most people think it's really hard to get into data analytics or data science. If you just consistently practice the skills and find some good people that you can build relationships with and mentor you along the way, then you're good to go." Sure, data science seems like an impossible task, but have you tried putting in the work. You cannot stand on the sidelines and claim that it is hard when you've not even tried it. This applies to all careers. Many young people have lost focus on what they want to do with their lives because they've been told that their careers of choice are hard or not for them. You can't know how well you will do in a career unless you make the deliberate decision to go after what you love and give it your all. When Aishah Newson decided to pursue a degree in Information Science, she knew she had to do extra to make it in the industry. As she studies, she has continuously tried to create a name for herself by freelancing and consulting. She says, "I'm currently working for myself doing data analysis, modeling and visualization work. I must say though it's a wild adventure and I am really enjoying it. Most importantly I am learning a shit ton along the way. Once finishing up school, I hope to continue to grow my consulting business and eventually bring on other data analyst to scale even more." She has set clear goals for where she wants to be and is working tirelessly to get there. Aishah Newson on Confronting Your Fears Fear of failure is the number one factor that holds people back from pursuing their careers. Just because someone tried and failed doesn't mean that you will fail too. Be daring enough to conquer your fears and learn from them. If you fall, rise and try again. The journey to a successful career is never easy, but with consistency, hard work, and determination, you will reach the heights of your career and enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Aishah Newson encourages young people in her profession and urges them to be willing to learn from failure. She says, "Don't be afraid of failure. Working in this field is a forever learning journey." Data science is an ever-evolving career because technology keeps on changing. If you want to succeed in your career, you must stay up to date with the changes and map out a plan to achieve your goals. Always have an insatiable curiosity for new things. Newson says, "The field is always evolving. There are always new technologies coming out and if you are not curious about them or always willing to learn, I think it could be a challenging road." Aim For Client Satisfaction Like in any career, your client's satisfaction with your services determines how far your business will go. Your client is your employer, and you must always satisfy their needs to convince them to stay in business with you. Keep up with the changing needs in the industry and always accommodate the changes your clients want in your services. Most importantly, have a game plan to help you meet your client's needs. You can learn something from Newson's m
odel. She says, "When taking on new projects I ask A LOT of questions up front. I want to fully understand the goals of the client & also ensure that we're a good fit for each other because sometimes you'll be working together for quite some time. From there I create a road map for what they want and when they want. I also map out for myself how I imagine I will be able to tackle their data needs. After that I get to work & begin executing the plans I've mapped out." No matter what field you are in, you'll never know how good you are until you give it a try.

When Karyna Auletta was young, she suffered from an undiagnosed chronic illness that caused immense pain and stifled productivity. However, the people around her could not see or feel her pain, so they could not understand it. But this did not make it any less real. Karyna resorted to dangerous methods like self-harm to cope with the pain and consequently developed depression. Thankfully, a doctor empathized with her pain and got her the help she needed. Since then, Karyna has nursed a passion for helping others and being empathetic to their pain. She says,” my ability to live life as an able person made me want to give back by helping others not to feel pain and loneliness in whatever path that might look like.” What is Empathy? It is the ability to share other peoples’ feelings. It does not mean that you have to accept their views or agree with them in any way. It is simply being able to sense people’s emotions, understand and relate to them. A little empathy can go a long way. That is the message that Karyna Auletta hopes to spread. If you have friends or family living with mental illnesses, a neighbor, or even a total stranger, you can show them empathy by: Karyna Auletta on Listening to What they Say Not just waiting till their monologue is over, but real, active listening. The kind where you’re engaged and constantly provide validation by acknowledging what they say. Sometimes people just want to be heard, and taking the time to listen to what people have to say can help them feel so much better. For people with mental illnesses, it can even be vital to their wellbeing. Stepping into their Shoes Empathy means understanding and relating to other peoples feeling, and what better way to do that than putting yourself in their position. Walk a mile in their shoes and see how it feels before you draw any conclusions about them. Doing this can give you a whole new perspective and help you better understand what they are going through and how you can help. Karyna Auletta Says To Ask Questions Asking questions is a great way to show that you understand a person’s feelings, care, and want to know more. This simple thing can help people feel validated, seen, and acknowledged. It can also encourage them to open up about the challenges they are facing. Learn Empathy cannot exist in ignorance. You will be more likely to hurt others than help them. It pays to do your research about mental health. That way, you better understand what mentally ill people face and how you can help. You also realize any mistakes you may be making or ways you might be unconsciously causing harm to others and can take steps to change those patterns. Teach Others Taking what you’ve learned about mental health and teaching it to others can go a long way to show empathy for the mentally ill. This is what Karyna Auletta is doing. “I plan on traveling and speaking to break the mental health stigma. I’m also partnering with an amazing therapist and performance coach, Katie Cheadle, to host a table talk to break the stigma of mental health in various careers,” she tells me. And this is just the beginning. She’s going even further by enlisting the help of different guests who can appeal to their unique audience. Karyna Auletta Says to Use Kind Language Because of the stigma surrounding mental health, many derogatory words describe mental illnesses and people living with mental illnesses. As a result, many people do not seek out the help they need for fear of being labeled “crazy” and those who are bold enough to deal with the discrimination from others. Being empathetic in this situation means refraining from using those words and educating others about the dangers and suggesting alternatives. Don’t Judge You can’t ever really understand the mentally ill people's challenges; that is why it is wrong to judge them. Passing judgment rarely ever helps anybody. All it does is make people feel bad, close them off and damage their self-esteem.
Instead, you should practice stepping into other people’s shoes and seeing things from their perspectives. Conclusion Supporting people living with mental illnesses can be a lot of work, but having passion and empathy can make it easier. “Empathy can be such a strong driving force,” Karyna tells me. There needs to be a lot of it to hold so many emotions and endure it all. It is not an easy profession, but it can be fulfilling to those with empathy and passion for others.” Read more at: https://hustleinformer.com/karyna-auletta-empathy/?feed_id=112&_unique_id=64822fd2ed04c

When Anna Sagan moved home from Chicago to Fayetteville in Arkansas, she must have thought that her life was over. She had just lost her job as a marketing consultant, was in the middle of the Covid 19 pandemic like everyone else, and was uncertain about her future. Sagan didn't know that this would be the beginning of a new journey of discovery, happiness, and fulfillment. The 33-year-old from Los Angeles had just lost her job in 2020, sacked in the middle of the pandemic when everyone was struggling to stay afloat. With the confusion and uncertainty in the world, Sagan was almost sure that she would not get another job. Her only option at the time was to move back to her parent's home and wait for things to settle down. Anna Sagan on Her Big Discovery While spending time with her parents and contemplating her life, Sagan discovered her late grandpa's woodwork tools in the garage. She saw this as an opportunity to stay busy and so something meaningful. Sagan started using the tools to fix things around her parent's hoe. Before she knew it, she was fixing old furniture and making wine racks for her friends and family. The more Anna Sagan worked on small projects at home, the more she realized that woodwork was something she enjoyed and made her happy. She grew a career out of her pastime hobby and never looked back. She says that she is driven to do better by the comments she gets from her friends and clients. Whenever someone shows admiration for Sagan's work, she knows she is doing something worthwhile and is driven to do more for herself and her clients. Sagan hopes that her work will encourage and inspire people. She says that she has learned healing and life lessons from the woodwork that she hopes to inscribe in her work. For her, creating art pieces with wood is more than a career. It is a way of helping people see the unusual in the usual places. How Has The Journey Been? The woodwork journey has been filled with lessons, frustrations, and gratitude for Sagan. When she started, Sagan was n pro at what she did. She did not have any formal training to become a woodwork expert, but she had watched her grandfather at work. For her, that was a starting point. She started small and moved on to making things for sale. Sagan has made it her business to learn from every experience in her life to become a better professional. However, it has not always been about beautiful lessons. Some of them come with frustration from other people in the industry. See, woodwork is a male-dominated industry, and Sagan is a woman trying to cut through it. She has been ridiculed by men who think she is not good enough. A man asked Anna Sagan if she was the cleaning lady at one company because he could not imagine her as a woodworker. In another company, she lost her job because she distracted her colleagues. She was not fired for not knowing her job or even dressing indecently. She was fired because her femininity distracted the men in the company. However, Sagan is not giving up on her career because people think she is not good enough. She says that the biggest lesson she has learned is following her passion and doing what makes her happy. People would expect Sagan to be more female-oriented, but only she understands the gratification and fulfillment woodwork gives her. Sagan hopes to build her woodworking business in Los Angeles in the future. She is currently struggling to find a way to do it full-time. Sagan does not have access to a physical shop, and she had to sell all her old tools and equipment to make a move to LA. She hopes to figure out a way to be profitable in the near future. However, even though all the odds seem to be against Sagan, she is optimistic that she will grow a profitable woodworking business. Anna Sagan's Productivity and Tools Hacks Sagan says she is an early bird and doesn't mind waking up early to start a project. She says that over the months she has been in the industry, she's gotten good reviews for her work and believes that she will do better with time.
When asked about her most indispensable tools, Sagan says it's a good Sander. Here's how she puts it, "A good sander. Sanding is my least favorite thing to do. it can be time-consuming and mundane, so having a good sander (and one that doesn't blast sawdust all over the place) is really a game-changer." Any Words for Upcoming Woodworkers? Sagan's final words to people starting in the field are, "Don't doubt your ability. We are all capable of doing things we feel are impossible." If you'd like to connect with Anna Sagan, you can contact her on her website, blog, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram accounts.

Earning a living doing what you love is a luxury not everyone can enjoy. More often than not, we end up working jobs that have nothing to do with our passion while building the career of our dreams. Sometimes even when you build these dreams, you can find your passion waning, and it can be challenging to stay excited about your work. Mary Jane Cole is an artist, so she knows all too well the importance of passion in her work. It is what helps her create vivid and authentic art. On paper, her career began six years ago when she moved to Ventura, California, to pursue her photography career, but she has been making art ever since she was a toddler. It’s been more than 20 years since Cole discovered her passion for art, but she is still just as, if not more excited, at the thought of creating. She says, “I could never get bored.” I had to know what kept her going, what fueled her passion, so I asked her to share her secret. She told me that it all boiled down to a couple of things she discovered throughout her years creating. Be Picky When you start fresh In any field, you can't be too picky about the jobs you choose, and most of the work you do will be for the experience and not necessarily because you're passionate about it. The problem, however, is not knowing when to start screening out some of these jobs. Whether it’s the fear of losing a client or an opportunity, many people are hesitant to turn down jobs even though they are not passionate about it. The result is that they get burnt out pretty quickly, and the quality of their work suffers. It also hurts the few jobs you are passionate about because you can't devote as many resources as you would like to them. Cole faced the same challenge when she started Mary Jane Cole Photography. She didn’t want to turn down jobs because of the potential financial implications. Still, she also realized that her time and energy were limited and that her other projects were suffering because she was trying to do it all. In the end, she decided that something had to change. She said, “I’ve had to learn to say no to projects I'm not passionate about to leave space for things that fit my vision and clients that value my work.” Set Goals and Make plans Goals are targets that you aim for, and they can help improve your productivity and get things done. But they can also help you maintain your passion. Nothing is more rewarding than ticking a task off your to-do list. Setting goals helps to remind you of the progress you’ve made and keep you excited about your plans. Cole realized the importance of goal setting early in her career and has developed a method that worked best for her. “I list everything I need to get done and then number the top 3 that I need to get done first. She says. “It helps me stay on the most important tasks instead of getting overwhelmed and lost in a long to-do list.” Start on a high note. How you begin your day sets the tone for the rest of it. Start your day doing something you love or something you’re passionate about, and you’ll find that for the rest of the day, that passion will bleed into everything you do. Take every opportunity to Pursue your passion. There will never be a perfect time to learn that language or to make that change you’ve been putting off. Do it now. Cole learned this during the pandemic. When Covid-19 hit, Cole suddenly found herself free to do whatever she wanted. She decided to spend that time pursuing a passion that had been on her mind for quite a while. Tattooing. Taking that bold step turned out to be a great idea. Cole says, “every time I tattoo, I become a better painter and vice versa. Finding my style in one discipline carries over into the next, and I love being able to jump between mediums to express different ideas.” Don’t Lose Your Streak. “Do something every single day to bring you closer to your goal,” Cole tells me. It is the most critical piece of advice she has for anyone thinking of getting in
to photography. Being consistent builds momentum, and momentum helps you get much farther much quicker. It also keeps your passion alive. If passion is a fire, that constant effort you put in is the fuel. Stay Organized When Cole started Mary Jane Cole Photography, she realized there was a lot more to running a photography business on her own than she initially thought. There were a lot of administrative tasks that left little time for actual shooting and editing. “Whenever I get close to someone, they're shocked at how much time and effort does go on behind the scenes between bookkeeping and marketing and communicating with clients and updating social media sites and planning, shooting and editing.” These other tasks can become clutter that makes doing what you love difficult. Cole took drastic steps to solve this problem. She tells me, “I'm learning my limits time-wise and energy-wise and becoming more organized to help streamline the parts of the process I can.” Bonus Tip The key to staying passionate is finding ways to keep loving what you do. And by simply applying these tips, Cole has nurtured a lifelong passion for the arts. When asked about her love for art, she said, “ I can't imagine doing anything else. It combines everything I love into one career and every day is something new. New settings, new people, new challenges, and things to learn. I could never get bored.” Read more at: https://hustleinformer.com/mary-jane-cole-passion-photography/?feed_id=54&_unique_id=647ce34f84d90

Jake Evans on the Fear and Loathing of Commitment. Have you ever found yourself at the gym in absolute agony wishing to yourself that your workout could instead function like an 80’s movie montage? Each workout last's only seven seconds before quickly cutting to the next one, all while sweaty arena rock blasts in the background. It would rule and we would all save so much time and energy, let alone having an excuse to wear leg warmers again. Sadly, reality doesn’t offer us convenient montages when we want to expedite the harder parts of life. Instead, we’re forced to go through every painstaking second ourselves, arriving at each destination through our own decision-making and hard work. Jake Evans knows this. While he would have greatly appreciated a training montage for his professional journey, Evans has had to experience every second of hard work and sacrifice for himself. Now as a game developer for Facepunch studios, he finds himself in a profession that was once a distant dream. He didn’t let the long journey break him, and because of that, he was able to bring his dream to life. The Beginning Jake Evans, now 29, first began his game development journey 14 years ago. The internet was the wild west compared to what it is today, as titans such as Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter either didn’t exist yet or were in their digital infancy. While others were busy playing flash games or systemically abusing forum boards with bad music opinions, Evans was busy customizing his personal space. Myspace was at its peak in the mid-2000s, and for good reason too. It was a space for self-expression and customization where one could create their own webpage without hosting a domain. This was especially true for Evans, who suddenly found himself thriving in this new and exciting community. Before he realized it, he was doing semi-professional web development work as a teenager. “We created a few websites where people could grow their MySpace friend count and customize their profiles with designs and whatnot. Eventually, we got so good at it we had multiple profiles with tens, even hundreds of thousands of friends (nowadays you call them followers).” Evan’s journey was just beginning. For a kid who grew up in poverty, often buying his own food and clothing just to get by, it was a long and daunting road to personal success. A long and daunting road he would have to walk himself. The Process After graduating high school, Jake Evan’s career journey was temporarily put on hold. He now found himself working in the oil fields of North Dakota far far away from a computer. It was grueling work that demanded everything from his body and mind, consuming every aspect of his life. Time, energy, and health were all running out at an alarming speed. “I was working 100 hours a week, 7 days a week, 28 days at a time, then getting 14 days off. Did that for about 4 years before realizing the money isn't worth the time”. Time is money, and Evan’s needed more of it. After he quit the oil fields, he fully committed to developmental work. He shifted his focus from web development to game development and began to educate himself in the field. This wasn’t easy, and it required a lot of time and sacrifice. As Evan’s himself stated,“most of the time between 2014 and 2020 was spent getting educated in game development rather than focused on creating and publishing this game...A lot of sacrifices were made in the journey.”. Spending a half-dozen years learning and working in a field with little immediate financial return was extremely difficult and came at a great cost. “I lived nearly homeless for years as I taught myself how to create games, and often wondered whether it was ever going to work out. Many indie developers go through the same shit, many never catch a break.” Evans was now far along in his career's journey, especially compared to his simple origins those many years ago in high school. He was never intimidated and it showed.
His work ethic and desire had led him much farther down a road that previously looked far too long. He crushed fear, and it was paying off. Reaching the Goal Now in 2021, Evans has positioned himself as an expert in walking long roads. He created and published his first game to Steam in 2018, which has maintained positive reviews and sold thousands of copies. In 2020, he recreated surf and bunnyhop mechanics from Source Engine into a standalone game that was published the same year. He also secured a position at Facepunch studios, notable for games like Rust and Garry’s Mod, while also serving as a consultant on game programming and development for a variety of large youtube channels. Yet even with all of these accomplishments under his belt, Evans knows that the journey is far from over. As he continues to publish more games and acquire more skills, he has become comfortable in the process. Time, energy, and personal sacrifice are vital parts of any long journey, but Evan’s serves as a prime example of how none of those things should keep you from your goals. Even if your goal isn’t crystal clear, Evan’s doesn’t want you to be discouraged. “I didn't know what I wanted to be even when I started making games. I just started creating and never stopped.” So as you find yourself at the beginning of any long road towards a goal, keep in mind the possibilities. Nothing is out of reach if you’re willing to walk the walk. No one knows this more than Evan’s, whose rock-hard calves have walked many miles to get to where he is today. Check out Jake Evans (crayz) on instagram and twitter. Read more at: https://hustleinformer.com/jake-evans-gaming-commitment/?feed_id=42&_unique_id=647b918d244b4

31-year-old fitness instructor Samuel Chewning believes that there is more to fitness than having a perfect physique. Chewning lives in Santa Monica, California, and is mostly known as Sam by his colleagues and clients. He has worked as a personal and professional trainer for 10 years and strongly believes in fitness's hidden, untapped power. It Is More Than Just Fitness According to Chewning, physical fitness has a way of pushing an individual to do better in all spheres of their lives. "After 10 years working in the fitness industry, I am still fascinated by the power of holistic physical fitness to help already performing individuals feel strong and empowered to achieve more in the rest of their lives- from work and careers to relationships and general well-being. Most high-performing individuals always make time for physical fitness, and now we know why. Sweating out and working towards achieving a specific physical fitness goal helps build a sense of determination and need to accomplish goals. Nothing can stop you from becoming what you want once you learn how to work for a goal. Chewning comments that the winning mood often spills over to people around you when you work out. He says that his greatest motivation is to see his clients flourish after being in fitness programs. He says, "I fell in love with the way fitness made my clients feel about themselves and allowed them to excel in all aspects of their lives." Fitness becomes a journey of discovery, especially when people embrace it as a routine and seek its more profound sense. It becomes a mood elevation strategy, a path to success, and the push you need to go for what you want in life. Sam says that he's learned some valuable lessons in his fitness training years. He has learned that when you train, work out and aim for fitness, you are not only changing your physical well-being, but you also elevate and affect both your mind and your soul. There's No Happiness In Body Fixes Most people attach happiness to having a perfect body, whatever that means. However, a person's physical appearance is as perfect as they allow themselves to see it. If you want perfection, you have to love your body, embrace every inch of it and enjoy owning it. It is never about having perfectly curved biceps or having the smallest waistline in your group. It is about falling in love with your body and letting it ooze with confidence. When asked about the most common myth people have about fitness, Chewning says that people tend to believe that they can only be happy with their bodies if they chisel it to their preferences. He, however, debunks this myth by saying that fitness is not a magic potion to help people fall in love with their bodies. In his words, "You are supposed to love and accept your body at any state. Only when you love it can you truly make lasting changes for it." Happiness comes with embracing your body as it is, then making the changes you want. Not the other way round. Unfortunately, most people approach physical fitness hoping to work magic on their bodies to love themselves more. Chewning says that his biggest challenge is" Teaching people that fitness is a relationship with your body and how it encounters the world." He describes the body as the one thing that a person cannot lose and advises people to learn to enjoy their bodies. It is only when you learn to fully embrace your body that you can enjoy everything you love. You'll walk around with confidence to conquer the world and be unstoppable at what you do. However, if you don't embrace your body with all its faults and flaws, then you're not living. It's All About Love All-Around Fitness training is a career that requires you to have one on one interactions with your client. According to Sam, the most important trait that a personal trainer should have is love for people. Loving people means that you can embrace different people with their differences and still work with them.
However, you also need to think about yourself and do something that you love. Chewning says, "Only work with people you want to see every day." You want to enjoy your job and make it worthwhile for you and your client. Don't work with people you struggle to be around. Young fitness trainers getting into the industry are very keen on getting high-paying clients and making money. However, Chewning says that his fulfillment comes from knowing he made a difference in someone's life each day. He has learned to love what he does and make money from it, like his icon Rich Fronic. Chewning's advice to younger professionals is, "Relax! Have fun! The money will come. Enjoy the ride." Don't be too focused on making money and forget to enjoy your job while at it.

Spiritual Shaman/Life Coach Darryl Elvina helps us understand the unconscious mind. Even when we think it's too late. It's 2:45 in the morning. The world is calm, but your stomach is forming. Forming an opinion. Before you even realize it, you're eating shredded cheese out of the bag in front of your fridge. As you stand there, illuminated by the cool blue freon haze, you wonder to yourself, "how did I get here?" Sure, maybe you can convince yourself that you're simply hungry, but what if it's more? What if, deep down, you're eating cold shredded cheese from the bag in front of the fridge because you feel trapped in your life. Trapped and unable to exercise control over even the smallest facets of your life. You hate this. However, you don't fully realize this. Rather, you know the things in life that have to get done in order to survive, and you do them. This feeling of resistance towards the world you've created for yourself is subtle and masked; it has to be in order to continue with the day-to-day minutia. But what if we were able to allow those complicated deep resistances to come to the surface? What if we could actually capture the complex dynamic nature of these feelings and overcome them instead of pushing them to the side? Maybe, just maybe, we could then feel less trapped and suddenly find ourselves experiencing deep-seated joy and fulfillment? Well, this fact is self-evident for Spiritual Shaman/Life Coach Darryl Elvina. With a career path that has had many winding roads and unexpected locations, Elvina firsthand has seen the value in unblocking the unconscious mind. So much value, in fact that he's made it his life goal to help others achieve the same thing. Darryl Elvina on His Process When we think of spirituality and going on a journey to find ourselves, it's easy to fall into the typical stereotypes regarding what that involves—doing ayahuasca in the South American rainforest, going to a retreat in the mountains run by a guy wearing frightfully thin pants, or traveling to India and reading Siddartha. That's not Elvina's style. Elvina has found a way to streamline the process in a way that allows people to overcome their unconscious blocks in as little as a day. For Elvina, the process starts like this. "When it comes to the energy work I do with my clients; there are three main prerequisites. One is permission to work together, and my client is open to the process. Two is the acknowledgment that the energy comes from a higher source - whether your label for it is god, the universe, the quantum, your higher self, whatever that is for you. Three is that I'm just the facilitator, the caller of the energy." Once these three conditions are met, he can finally get to work. For Elvina, however, it's important to him that his clients understand the role he plays in this process. "I don't heal others," he said, "I call energy and support them in healing themselves. Because we all have that power." From here, it all depends on where the client's unconscious mind is. We constantly build up walls and barriers as a way to keep ourselves safe from pain. Limiters. It's these limiters that Elvina takes focus on and tries to disassemble. As he puts it, "Ultimately, we're rewiring the unconscious mind for peace, performance, and success." So what does a session entail? Elvina breaks down the process well, explaining that "In a session, there's reflection over what's coming up for my client, whether that's self-sabotage, procrastination, low motivation, conflicts in relationships, whatever the issues are… Then a combination of energy work, chanting, trance and hypnosis work, and other tools and techniques to eliminate the root of the problem." You can find these techniques in a wide variety of meditative schools of thought. However, Elvina has managed to use them in a way that impacts his clients the most. Heightening his focus on the unconscious and working with clients to remove these blockages lets Elvina stand apart from many of his contemporaries.
Elvina believes strongly that "Mindset work is not enough. Accountability is not enough. You have to focus on change at the unconscious level." At this point in his life, Darryl Elvina has managed to find his true calling. As a shaman, Elvina has been initiated into the 28th generation unbroken lineage of Huna Hawaiian Shamanism, the foundation of all his work, and has become a certified Trainer and Master Practitioner of NLP and Hypnosis. His work has helped numerous clients break through themselves and achieve higher successes than they could've imagined. By keeping in touch with ourselves and being open to guidance, regardless of how esoteric it may seem to you, we all have the potential to break our own chains. Elvina has keys to many locks, and maybe you'll find yourself one day unlocked by his teaching, as long as you're open to it. You can find Darryl Elvina on social, here: Instagram Facebook Website
