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!

How to Trust Your Truth with Shannon Algeo 

Are you living a life that is true to your being? For that matter, how do we know what our truth is, anyway? Do you know how to trust your emotions? Every day, we are bombarded with tasks and responsibilities that we sometimes forget to listen to our inner wisdom, thoughts, and feelings.

In today's episode, Shannon Algeo joins us to talk about listening to our inner truths and how they can manifest in our lives as synchronicities. He also shares how self-damaging patterns can affect our self-worth and relationship. Dealing with these patterns is not about suppressing, avoiding, or feeling ashamed about it, but learning how to trust yourself for who you are and moving forward.

If you want to learn how to trust your truth, this episode is for you!

  1. Discover what happens when we keep repeating self-damaging patterns.

  • He felt a lot of power knowing things his parents didn’t know about each other.
  • When writing his book, he felt the urge to edit it to appease his parents.

  • He suddenly had a dream about his grandfather that finally gave him the courage to publish the book.
  • He realized that his actions are not just for his healing but also those around him.
  • The unconscious mind and the universe are the same.

What Relationships Teach Us

  • Every relationship is a teacher; we can learn something about ourselves from these experiences.
  • Shannon shares how he adopted a puppy, Ginger, when he became newly single and lived alone for the first time.
  • Sometimes, he would get so mad at Ginger and realized that he grew jealous of his puppy.
  • He longed for the level of care and love he was giving Ginger.
  • Shannon used to feel so much shame from his anger. Listen to the full episode to learn how he’s learning to work through it.

Radical Acceptance

  • Shannon feels radically loved when he allows himself to be himself.
  • For Shannon, being radically loved means taking off your armor and jumping in, getting naked vulnerably and emotionally.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

[18:39] “I'm gonna have to learn how to work with this and finally give up the codependency that continues to harm myself and others in subtle and not so subtle ways in my relationships.”

[19:43] “The nature of truth and connecting to the truth within us. It speaks to us in whispers and our meditation practice. It speaks to us, but we don't tend to listen to it, so then it starts to knock, and it starts to lay into things in life.”

[27:54] “The bigger picture of this thing that I'm healing within myself is going to ripple not just into future generations and the people around me.”

[39:28] “What I learned was that part of my rage was that I was so jealous of how good I was taking care of her [Ginger, my dog]. And my inner child and my wounded self was longing for that level of care for myself, and I needed to learn how to take care of Shannon.”

[40:25] “How can I exhaust this intense emotion without harming myself or others? That's my practice now is like I that's what I love about what you said is you don't feel shame about your tantrums. And that is the key; I used to feel shame about my anger. So I would suppress it, which guaranteed that it would come out stronger later.”

Curiosity and the Miracle Mentality with Tim Storey 

Pursuing a life you genuinely don't want dulls the light in your eyes. We often say, “Life happens,” and we move on, burying the dreams and ambitions we had as children. But if we learn how to tap into our younger versions' aspirations, we can get our life back. Is there a miracle mentality we can adopt to have the right mindset and get back on the yellow brick road of our lives?

In today's episode, the one and only Tim Storey joins us to speak about the miracle mentality. He shares profound knowledge on navigating life, setbacks, and success. Tim also sheds light on the importance of curiosity and consistency in cultivating our real desires.

If you want to get inspired to get back on the right path, this episode will spark something in you!

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

  1. Learn the principles and power of the miracle mentality.
  2. Discover the importance of cultivating your curiosity in staying on top of your game.
  1. Find out why you should build your spot in your work for six months before anything else.

Episode Highlights

It’s Just Around the Corner

  • We all have self-doubt.
  • We may question ourselves, but change can be just around the corner.

The Miracle Mentality

  • Tim has been studying the subject of miracles for over 20 years.
  • It is something extraordinary, uncommon, not regular, and not the status quo.
  • Kids dream big because of the miracle mentality. However, as they grow up, they move on with their lives and experience interruptions.
  • Tim teaches how to keep the miracle mentality and apply it to your daily life in the book.
  • The real "you" will make a demand on the "you" that you become. The miracle mentality is something innate.

How the Miracle Mentality Dims

  • Every chance they get, children will choose to play. According to Tim's studies, adults tend to lose that playful side of life.
  • At the age of 11 or 12, children start getting a lot of homework on top of other things. They become a human "doing" rather than a human "being."
  • Adults get so caught up in what they have to do in their lives and forget that they need playtimes too.
  • You can download new fantastic information when you're in the creativity of playtime.

The Importance of Staying Curious

  • One of the reasons for the lack of curiosity is the pressure that comes with being challenged.
  • You go singular when you're feeling pressured; you go plural when you're feeling great.
  • The curiosity is in the plural. It's in the expansion and discovery.
  • We all go through recovery and discovery at the same time. Our playtime has to be intentional.

How Tim Recharges

  • Tim also gives himself playtime.
  • Tim loves music. From being a Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson's fan, he's now friends with them and coaches them.
  • He gets triggered every day through music.
  • Listen to the full episode to know more about maintaining the magic in your life!

How Tim Cultivates Curiosity and Conversation

  • You have to gauge two things as a speaker: the climate and culture of the room.
  • Tim's talks are more like a conversation. He brings in humor because a lot of what he knows as a speaker is from comedians.
  • We learn primarily in three ways: education, conversation, and observation. Tune in to the full episode to learn how Tim executes these!

Why People are Afraid to be Themselves

  • Many times, it's not their fault. They learned in the wrong way and felt pressure to achieve something that's not for them.
  • You have to soar with your strengths.
  • Be yourself, and be okay with it. The best version of yourself is the biggest blessing.

Moving Forward with Life after a Setback

  • Look how far you've come along with the lessons you learned from these setbacks.
  • A comeback is not a place; it's getting back on the path.

The Biggest Lessons from Acquiring Success

  • You need to sit, learn, and get educated. And then, you got to stand in what you learned and walk out its principles every day.
  • Once you start walking it out, you start gaining confidence and start running.
  • Tim began running in his 30s, speaking to 30,000 to 40,000 people at conventions.
  • Walking it out has to be consistent.
  • Tim doesn't trip off all the power in his work because he's more into the moment.

When You Feel Like Giving Up

  • We need to quit instant gratification. It's our insecurity and ego speaking.
  • Be the best worker in your job for six months before thinking about anything else.
  • Cultivate it, grow it, and build your spot. Once you develop your area, life will put it into the spotlight.
  • Tim established his place in turning people's setbacks around and unknotting someone's life.
  • Listen to the full episode to learn how Tim Storey feels radically loved!

5 Powerful Quotes

[06:59] “I think that what happens to us, even around the age of around 11 or 12, we start getting a lot of homework. So all of a sudden, that homework begins to get in the middle of our playtime.”

[08:36] “I think a lot of people, that as adults, we get so caught up in ‘What am I going to be doing in life?’ And, ‘Do I like what I'm doing, and am I making enough money?’ that you forget that we need playtimes, too.”

[10:43] “The curiosity is not in the singular of all the negative things. It's in the plural. It's in the expansion. It's in the discovery.”

[15:41] “Yet, she likes to dance, be silly, have fun, tell jokes and that helps her be plural and stay in the creative, which is what my book is about.”

[18:35]  “I like to converse with people, because you never know what you're going to learn from them. So. So I want to be educated, I want the conversation, but I'm also into the observation.”

Do you feel out of energy after the dreadful and exhausting 2020? Or maybe you've recently just gone through trauma—your personal 2020—and have no idea how to regain balance? After a series of traumatic events, getting back on your feet can be a real challenge. However, intentional living, regaining balance, replenishing your energy, and restoring yourself are all possible.

In this episode, Lopa van der Mersch joins us to share her tips on regaining balance and energy after facing adversity. She talks about her own traumatic experience and how she’s able to overcome life’s challenges. As founder of coffee alternative Rasa, Lopa also discusses how we can heal through alternative energy sources and intentional living.

If you feel lost in your journey to healing after your own 2020, this episode is for you.

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

  1. Find out how to regain balance and replenish energy after a trauma.
  2. Discover technology fasting and how it can improve your well-being.
  3. Learn how to practice intentional living.

Episode Highlights

The Inspiration Behind Rasa

  • After a series of traumatic events in 2015, Lopa needed a new way of energizing herself.
  • She realized that coupling coffee with Ayurveda practices was overwhelming for the nervous system.
  • Lopa then worked with an herbalist to create Rasa, a coffee alternative that utilizes energy from within yourself.
  • Rasa creates a stress buffer so people can get out of the stressed state and make better decisions.

Lopa’s Story

  • Lopa was spiritually hungry ever since she learned about enlightenment at 16 years old.
  • She received a lot of training and exposure to Ayurveda. However, it ended up being a traumatic situation: her teacher was power-abusive.
  • Lopa left, but it primed her to get into an even worse situation.

How to Regain Balance After a Traumatic Event

  • We have experienced a global 2020, but we may have also experienced a “personal 2020.”
  • Modern society’s technological and business-heavy environment isn’t conducive to sensitivity and intentional living.
  • Start small and start easy. Do the next easiest and most pleasurable thing that you are willing to do.
  • If you’re in a tough situation, taking one deep breath might be the next easiest and most pleasurable thing to do.
  • Celebrate all the small steps and immerse yourself in that celebration.

Technology Fasting

  • Too much exposure to technology can leave you feeling fragmented and overwhelmed with information.
  • You need to have extra space for metacognitive awareness. Place boundaries on technology usage.
  • Build rules which can eventually become rituals, so you can apply intentional living.

Balancing Multiple Responsibilities and Replenishing Energy

  • Constant discernment, recalibration, and assessment are needed.
  • Yoga helps cultivate discernment and an awareness of your cup.
  • Cultivating praise and gratitude can help you shift away from victim orientation.
  • Focus on the things where you have freedom.

How to Practice Intentional Living

  • You can make anything a ritual by aligning your body, energy, and mind. When these aspects are not aligned, you spill energy.
  • Notice the rituals that you already have before making new ones.
  • Connect with yourself and your bigger context to know what you want. Create your rituals from that connection.
  • Find nourishment from what’s already present in your circumstances.

5 Powerful Quotes from this Episode

[09:31] “If we do not unturn those stones in the process of excavating, you know, our egoic self or you know, our narratives of who we are, then we run the risk of expanding what is already there.”

[14:17] “You have to start small and you have to start easy. Like, you have to do the next easiest, pleasurable thing that you are willing to do.”

[19:04] “Sometimes it helps to put those guardrails on and to have those rules. And then eventually it becomes something that doesn't feel like an imposition on yourself, but feels like a way that you're respecting and nourishing yourself.”

[21:25] “I think that the most important thing that we can do is really find where that value is for yourself and know what those inputs are for you to recalibrate and to renourish and to add more energy into your cup as opposed to seeping it out.”

[37:24] “It can be really helpful to start making a list and just, like, keep a running list of the things that make you feel good, just like, you know, it doesn't have to be, like, where you sit down and just pour it all out in 20 minutes or an hour. But like, you just keep adding to it.”

About Lopa

Lopa van der Mersch is the founder and CEO of Rasa, a coffee alternative that is energizing, healthy, and sustainable. After going through a series of traumatic events in 2015, she noticed that coffee only worsened her stress levels. Lopa looked for the "perfect coffee alternative" but didn't find one. Her answer was to make her own coffee alternative and run a business, all while being a wife and a mother of two.

Lopa is passionate about the environment and has co-founded two climate solution companies, worked with Richard Branson's Carbon War Room, and lobbied at the United Nations. She is also keen on spirituality and spent most of her 20s in deep study of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Kashmiri Shaivite Tantra.

If you want to know more about Lopa and her work, you can follow her on Linkedin or check out the Rasa website.

Love Without a Reason with LaRayia Gaston

We live in a harsh, cruel, and uncaring world. Our external environment does not promote vulnerability and loving others . Instead, we are taught to only look out for ourselves. Despite having so many resources and love to share and give, we complain about how unfair and sad the world is.

In today's episode, LaRayia Gaston shares her experiences with giving to and loving others. She talks about the power of showing up and how little things have more impact than we think.

Do you feel like you are not doing enough? If you want to find out what you can contribute to the world, this episode is for you!

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

  1. Learn more about loving others in all facets of life.
  2. Discover the four things you can contribute to the world.
  3. Gain valuable insights about LaRayia's book and what inspired her to write it.

Resources

Episode Highlights

What Inspired LaRayia to Write Her Book

  • At first, LaRayia did not know the magnitude of bringing love in so many places.
  • From speaking, traveling, and hearing from other people, she always received the common question of how she got into the place of love she is in right now.
  • She wanted to reflect on her journey, and thus, she intimately explains in her book how she found love and where it came from.
  • LaRayia wrote about her discovery of love, a blueprint to sharpen our lens and view of the world.

The Most Surprising Thing LaRayia Learned About Herself

  • LaRayia allowed herself to sit back and honor her journey and discoveries.
  • She realized that she never had one space in the journey where she betrayed her heart.
  • She was always advocating for underdogs and never backed down when it came to loving others, vulnerability, and doing the right thing.
  • LaRayia realized the level of boldness she had.

Why People Stop Caring

  • Our external world does not support caring for and loving others. It does not support being vulnerable.
  • We then decide to be what the world chose us to be, and people end up suffering.
  • We should work together and empower ourselves to show up for the collective.
  • Bring love to all facets of your life.
  • We have to rediscover what it is to be human, coming from a soul place. We have it as children, but our external world slowly chips that away.

How to Keep Moving Forward with Love

  • LaRayia has been in every emotion of sadness and anger, but she doesn't let herself stay there.
  • The only peace that she has is doing her part to help people.
  • She cannot allow herself to wallow in emotions because tears won't solve problems in the world.
  • LaRayia is very conscious and aware of her moments, and she has peace in doing her part.
  • Empowerment comes from showing up and trying to do your part.

What Showing Up Looks Like

  • Time, food, talent, and money are everyday things we can contribute to the world.
  • We should give what we have. Instead, we are giving what we think we can spare or what doesn't have value in our eyes anymore.
  • We measure change and impact; big is better is not always true.
  • Become more attentive to other people’s needs. The more you become attuned with your spirit and energy, the more you can tell when someone's in need.
  • The most valuable thing that we can do is ask ourselves how we are part of the solution.

Love Without Reason: The Lost Art of Giving a F*ck

  • LaRayia wanted to make loving others and showing up actionable, tangible things.
  • Her book is a self-help book on how people can be better in different ways.
  • The most important thing we have to do is get back to our center of love so that we can show up without the world's influences.

5 Powerful Quotes from this Episode

[09:57] “Give yourself the opportunity to show up as the person you believe you are, as opposed to just what you want everybody to think you are.”

[13:22] “Love doesn't just happen. I believe you have to bring it.”

[20:02] “I am doing everything I can. It's not my job to solve the world, but it is my job to conquer myself and to understand what I'm supposed to do in the world, and there’s peace in that.”

[26:10] “Impact isn't connected to velocity and something huge and grand. Sometimes turning points are small moments, and I think that if we're more aware of that mentally, that we always have something to give, then we will.”

[33:29] “The important part is what are we doing on a daily basis and sometimes, it starts with just acceptance and love and being kind to each other.”

About LaRayia

When LaRayia Gaston moved to Los Angeles from New York City, she was shocked by the extreme poverty level she saw on the streets of DTLA. She immediately wanted to help. After spending some time with people in the Skid Row community, LaRayia felt a tug at her heart and knew this was her calling.

She founded Lunch On Me, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending starvation while providing opportunities to enrich the mind, body & spirit of LA and NYC’s homeless community.

Lunch On Me feeds and serves over 10,000 plus homeless individuals and families every month. LaRayia is shifting how we address the issues of homelessness and hunger in America through nourishment and self-care. Her latest initiative is LaRayia’s Bodega, the first-ever organic 99¢ store that’s managing food access for all.

Episode Highlights

Meaghan in 2020

  • What Meaghan liked about the pandemic was it helped her become unafraid to fail. If she failed at something, she could just blame it on the situation.
  • She became Editor-in-Chief of Women’s Day a week before the lockdown, so she didn’t get to meet her new team.
  • On top of that, as her children became homeschooled, she needed to learn how to teach them.
  • She sees herself as an expert problem solver, so she filled her book with tips, tricks, and strategies you can use in your day-to-day life.
  • Meaghan trained herself to become fully-charged, so she knows anyone can do it.

What Meaghan Learned While Writing Her Book

  • She talks about meditation in her book and how it has undeniable power.
  • At first, she thought meditation wasn’t for her, but when she got COVID, she found herself downloading a meditation app, laying in bed, and doing it for an hour.
  • Awareness is key.
  • According to Meaghan, back in fifth grade, she said she was the embodiment of negativity.

How to Become Fully Charged and Where Energy Comes From

  • When you’re depleted, you feel stuck, drained, with low energy and negative thoughts.
  • On the other hand, being fully charged means building your energy reserves up so that when you feel down, you can power on through.
  • Making one positive choice after the other is like depositing goodness in the energy bank, and having reserves to become fully charged and get fired up.
  • It’s not about just looking at the bright side. It’s about looking at all sides and choosing the bright side in spite of everything else. You choose to move forward.

Moving Past Hurdles in Life

  • When her father died and she had to deal with that grief, she simply set out to find one thing that did not suck everyday.
  • She called it operation. Since she could not lie in bed and hide under the covers, she had to get up and keep her children alive.
  • It taught her to prioritize positivity.
  • When you can seek out the good and put it front and center, you rewire your brain.
  • After doing this, she automatically sees the silver lining in things without working hard for it.

  • What work-life balance suggests is that all aspects of your life are always equal.
  • For Meaghan, it’s all about synergy.
  • She made her children a part of her work by showing them her office and the things that she does in her job.
  • We need to recognize each other’s humanity in all situations.
  • It seems like what’s causing unhappiness in work is the belief that work life is supposed to be separate from our personal lives.

Letting Go of Control

  • Letting go of control is usually scary and hard to do.
  • It’s one of those things where you won’t know how good it feels until you’ve had a taste.
  • When you have not become fully charged, or are not living a life filled with optimism and joy, it is easy to roll your eyes at the notion of it.
  • You don’t need to have drastic changes in your life. You just have to use what you have right now to change your perspective, so you can restructure what you see in your life.

Managing Everybody’s Energy

  • Meaghan likes to lead with joy and fun. She’s the first on her team to say that they get to make magazines for a living—they are not curing cancer.
  • She says if people can’t have fun while working, then they shouldn’t be working.
  • When we were kids, we used to get stars and trophies for doing well. For people working now, where do they get validation?
  • To achieve wellness, we need to feel accomplished in something.
  • The bottomline is that you can never control what somebody is going to do. You can’t control their stress or their response to a situation—all you can do is protect yourself and emit positive energy.
