Radically Loved® with Rosie Acosta

Hi I’m Rosie Acosta. I am a Meditation Teacher; Speaker and Author of You Are Radically Loved: A healing journey to self-love. I grew up in East Los Angeles during the 92 La Riots and it set me on a troubled path for many years. I didn’t grow up with mentors in my life, so I turned to reading as many books as I possibly could to learn about life’s purpose. In my journey as a First Gen-Mexican American, I found having these conversations gave me insight, support, and inspiration. So, I decided to create a place where I could share these conversations with my community. The Radically Loved Podcast was born! How do we create a radically loved life? Come have a sit with me so we can discover all things mindfulness, spirituality, self-love, and overall healthy living. Please be sure to share the episodes that you love and also leave us a review!

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“When you don't understand something is why you have a block in doing the very thing that you should be doing.” 

“Instead of making us, ourselves, feel bad about what we did, or we didn't do, or what we should be accomplishing during this time, or what we are not supposed to be accomplishing, I think it's just let it be.”

“We need to look at it as a resetting and a rebalancing for ourselves and giving ourselves the opportunity to do the things we've always wanted to do both health-wise, business-wise friendship, family, all of that.”

“If it's doing this to your skin, what is it doing elsewhere in your body? Because you have to remember here: whatever you do now is going to be a delayed effect 20 years down the road.”

“Everything has its use in life. And if you're using it (coffee) in a way that's healthy and it's not to try to keep yourself awake or to wake yourself up, that's great.”

How to Awaken Your Spiritual Ninja During Quarantine with Janelle Christa

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced most of us into loneliness and isolation. It is even harder for people who have no one to be with during this time. Now, we're stuck in our own spaces, trying our hardest to be positive and do things as normally we can. How can mindfulness and meditation play a role in easing our fear and worries amid this crisis?

In this episode, Janelle Christa joins us to discuss how we can tap into our emotions and turn into the fundamental things that make us human. She shares how meditation and breathing can make us feel lighter and more at ease. Janelle also talks about energy vampires and social media, which is part of her new book, Spiritual Ninja.

If you want to know how you can practice healing and walk the spiritual path, make sure you tune in to the full episode!

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Discover how you can go through your spiritual journey amid the quarantine period.
  2. What exactly is an energy vampire, and how do they take energy from you?
  3. How does Janelle feel radically loved? Find out toward the end of the episode.

Resources

Episode Highlights

Janelle’s Passion

  • The thing she’s always 100% most excited about is healing.
  • Being a single mom, she turned to healing and eventually turned to helping other people awaken to that journey.
  • She channels healing through writing, filmmaking, courses, and retreats.

The Biggest Obstacle in Quarantine

  • It’s the mystery of the unknown of how long this is going to last.
  • Everybody likes to have control of their lives and schedules.
  • These limiting energies come out as blame, rage, and anger. It can be transitional and helpful, but when we are locked into them, it can feel hopeless.
  • Because the pandemic is happening on a global scale, it brings people together.

Advice for People Going Through Their Spiritual Journey During This Time

  • Step into what makes you human and allows the full kaleidoscope of emotions within you.
  • Allow yourself to tap into these emotions, but don’t go so deep into them. Just be aware of them.
  • Practicing mindfulness amid a crisis or loneliness can be difficult. But it's essential to go into the foundations that make us human and turn to them as much as we can.
  • The easiest way to tap into these elements is through breathing.

Easing the Feeling of Inertia and Heaviness

  • It’s all about baby steps. Be gentle and patient with yourself.
  • Go in meditation and close your eyes. Imagine putting a bubble around you and calling in a form that can be your shield and protector.
  • Cut the barrier between you and the rest of the world.
  • Take away the energy that doesn’t belong, and you’re going to feel lighter.

How to Avoid Energy Vampires on Social Media

  • A lot of times, we paint energy vampires as toxic people.
  • Some energy vampires are just jealous or envious, but there are also people who see the light in you and try to grab hold of that.
  • When a person's energy is sucked, they may feel like they need to give their energy away because they unconsciously remember someone they need to please.
  • When you start to recognize that in yourself, it will be empowering.
  • Try to see the other person as another human who's just looking for a connection.

Mindfulness in Using Social Media

  • Be aware of the unseen elements that create negative energies on social media.
  • Janelle says that it’s valuable to put a shield around you before you get on social media.
  • Even though we are interacting on social media from across the world, we're all connected because we’re all made of energy.

Janelle’s Overall Relationship with Social Media as a Spiritual Leader

  • She has a natural desire to challenge people and shake their beliefs.
  • Janelle thinks that the key to using social media is having limits.

Janelle’s Definition of Freedom

  • Freedom for Janelle is being able to express yourself freely, to have whatever type of relationship, and freedom from negative ego.
  • She believes that the biggest problem in our entire world is superiority.
  • Superiority keeps us so separate from each other.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“If all you can do one day is you get up and you eat, and you do the dishes, and that's like the gist of it, okay. Great. At least you did that.”

“Create a healthy boundary to create a healthy connection with that person.”

“You don't want your self-esteem to get wrapped around if people are liking your stuff or not. There’s so much different things that can get pulled into that. We have to just be honest and real; we do have feeling.”

“Freedom from superiority—I feel like that is freedom really, where you’d just be in union. You can see one another as equal, not less than, not more than.”

“I feel radically loved when I forgive myself. Maybe I don’t forgive myself or others for what they did, but I can forgive them for why they did it.”

Body Positivity in the Time of a Pandemic

  • Rachel has worked in the healthcare system and is an expert on eating disorders and mental health.

  • Eating can help people cope with some of the mental health issues triggered by the pandemic and isolation.
  • Social media is a great tool to communicate with people while in quarantine. But it can also induce envy since more are tuning in to social media to fill their time.
  • People on social media are more understanding of the things that truly matter now. But it's still important to limit your screen time.

For People Without Company While in Quarantine

  • Emotional eating is a natural way to self-soothe. It only becomes a problem when it's your only coping mechanism.
  • It's essential to expand your coping strategies and balance things out. Reach out to your friends through social media apps.
  • To have some sense of control and connection, you can donate to charities and virtual organizations helping out in this crisis.

On Overeating During Quarantine

  • Rachel reminds people that there are no good or bad foods. If you label something as bad, you may end up depriving yourself of that food and compensate later on.
  • If your emotional eating is getting out of hand, expand your coping mechanisms and practice acceptance.
  • Take things in moderation and find nutritional balance. Eat enough to avoid overeating.

  • Be compassionate to yourself.

Hope After COVID-19

  • Rachel hopes we will hold some of the principles we learned in this crisis and create the needed changes rather than going back to the way it was before.

  • Rachel became a dietitian because she wanted to help people become healthier.
  • She enjoys creating personal connections with people by putting helpful articles on the Internet.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“For the record, emotional eating is not wrong or a bad thing. I think the culture has made it like, ‘Oh, you shouldn't eat out of emotion only if out of hunger,’ when the truth of the matter is that it's a totally natural way to self-soothe."

“When you label something as bad, you end up depriving yourself of that food. You avoid it; you might be more likely to overeat it later on.”

“If you constantly are overcompensating, you're going to overcompensate later on.”

“Just by acknowledging that you have these emotions and not shaming ourselves for not doing more with this new normal is really important.”

"The world's going to change, and I would only hope that it's for the better and we're more mindful of everyone else's well-being too, not just our own.”

The 4 Keys to Fertility Success with Tasha Blasi

Getting pregnant is a joyous time in a woman’s life. But for some, getting pregnant naturally can be a complicated process. For cases like this, it can be the result of fertility issues between a couple.

An alternative to natural pregnancy is integrative fertility through IVF or in vitro fertilization. Going through this process can be fearful and uncertain; thus, it's vital to get the proper support from the right individuals for a successful fertility journey.

In this episode, the founder of the FU Project, Tasha Blasi, joins us to discuss integrative fertility and IVF. She shares the keys to fertility success that she has discovered throughout the years of helping women. She also explains the female reproductive system and its components and processes in detail.

If you're an aspiring mother who wants to go under IVF coaching or if you want to provide better support to a loved one, then this episode is for you!

Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:

  1. Discover what Tasha did to perfect her program and get a crazy high success rate.
  2. Listen as she debunks and gives light to the most common fertility myths.
  3. How does Tasha Blasi feel radically loved? Find out toward the end of the episode.

Resources

Episode Highlights

Tasha’s Background in Integrative Fertility

  • Tasha was a biology and chemistry teacher for about a decade before she moved to corporate in New York City.
  • Her journey began when she did ten rounds of IVF to have her two kids when she had no fertility issues.
  • No matter how hard she tried and no matter how much time, energy, and money she put into it, she could not be successful.
  • She figured out after the tenth round that her mistake was not banking embryos.

Four Keys to Fertility Success

  • The right science or biology: If you want to get pregnant naturally
  • Space: Is there enough space in your mind and body to have a baby?
  • Energy at the cellular level: We need to be in abundance to reproduce.
  • Support: Somebody to keep you on track

Perfecting the Program

  • Tasha has seen the protocols of nine different countries, dozens of clinics, and hundreds of women over the years.
  • Unlike doctors who work in labs, she is involved in researching herself for years.
  • She doesn’t guarantee pregnancies, but the crazy success rates say it all. There’s always going to be things that you can’t control.

Understanding the Female Reproductive System

  • It's not our fault that we don't understand our systems completely. It's how it was presented to us.
  • Tasha gives a blueprint of how she helps her clients.
  • It’s only a mistake when you know about it and don’t do something to move forward with that information.

The IVF Jail

  • How ready are you to undergo pregnancy?
  • Instead of living a fun and enjoyable life, you live a miserable life when you're in IVF jail.
  • When you are in IVF jail, you don’t want to hear that you need to slow down.
  • You have to be willing to make a few minor changes that don’t massively affect your life and the things you love.
  • The aftermath of IVF should make you happier, healthier, and better. You have to be the best version of yourself to be a better partner and a better mother.

Pregnancy Myths vs. Facts

  • #1: Not meditating on your “spirit baby” enough is the reason why you can't get pregnant.
  • #2: “Does drinking alcohol and caffeine affect my ability to get pregnant?”
  • #3: “I have a diminished egg reserve. Can I still get pregnant?”
  • #4: “Can I still get pregnant even after the doctor has told me I can't?”
  • Listen to the full episode for Tasha’s answers and explanations! She also shares how a client overcame her fertility issues after being told by a doctor that she can’t get pregnant.

The Power of Clarity

  • It's important not to lose hope and be optimistic, but it's understandable to find it difficult.
  • Clarity will bring you positivity and confidence.

Advice to Women Who are Going Through the Process

  • Reach out to Tasha. The sooner you hop on to the journey, the cheaper it will be.
  • Discover what you don't know yet.
  • Make it about you. Forget about your fertility journey when it comes to the things you can control.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“With what you can control, there's always going to be things you can't. With what you can control, we don't make mistakes.”

“You don't want to change your life because you're trying to get pregnant because I guarantee your life has already been changed.”

“What I always say is what will bring you positivity and confidence is clarity.”

“The key is shifting it from fixing your fertility issues to fixing you.”

“All I need to do is be, and I feel radically loved.”

About Tasha

Tasha Blasi is an integrative fertility and IVF coach and the founder of the Fertilities Unite or FU Project. She is also a fertility patient advocate and a mother of two very expensive children.

“The thing about history, and especially the introduction of new things, is that one thing rarely ever replaces another—it integrates.”

 

“The results of terrible things are totally unpredictable, but can lead to amazing things.”
