This week, it’s all about manifesting, sis! Manifesting can help you achieve your goals and dreams and bring the things you want into your life. In short, speak things into existence! Our mind is so powerful that it can shape and influence how we think, act, be and do. Our mindset and imagination are inspired by what we manifest, and this paves the way to what we want to achieve in life. Be it money, a new career, relationships, or whatever you aspire to be - speak it and it shall be. In this episode, I am talking with Dawn Kristin Ellison, a Life Mastery Coach, Spiritual Mentor, author, speaker, mother, and founder of <a href="https://evolvelifemastery.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">EVOLVE Life Mastery</a>. She shares with us how the four steps of manifestation, recognizing the blocks that hinder our ability to manifest, the power of small decisions, and how we can have the belief and desire to manifest our most opulent life.

Manifest Your Most Opulent Life with Dawn Ellison [PART 1]

“You can be the vivacious, radiant, beautiful queen goddess diva that you were born to be.” - Ivy AllenOur society has been so used to stereotyping and gender roles. Feminine characteristics are traditionally viewed as undesirable and when we hear the word “femininity ”, we may think of them as emotional, weak, or fragile. All feminine characteristics have typically been connected with women, while masculine characteristics have been associated with men. Yet in this generation, it is past time for society to recognize that masculinity and femininity are not attributes we connect with gender, but rather, with character. And the reality is men and women are a mix of feminine and masculine energy.  The degree to which one is in varies from person to person without determining their sexuality.Women have learned to step up, confidently show up, take charge and lead, things that may be considered more masculine roles.  So this week, we are joined by Coach Ivy Allen, empowerment and mindset coach who helps women reinvent and reclaim their lives. We talk about the essence of femininity, how we can learn to embrace it, and how it directly affects our journey as women. About the Guest:Ivy Allen is a certified Life Coach and graduate of the international coaching school, CoachU, Inc. She is a writer, speaker, life strategist and personal coach, who helps women and men create intimate connections in relationships, expand their sexuality, express their natural sensuality, and date with confidence. She works with women and selected men to help them discover their passions, attract the loves of their lives, and create the partnerships of their dreams.Episode drink: Pomegranate MimosaIngredients:ProseccoPomegranate JuicePomegranate SeedsConnect with Coach Ivy: FacebookInstagramLinkedInConnect with Me:If you are like me you love a good quiz.  As a success entrepreneur a strong marketing strategy is key to the success of your business.  Have you taken the time to assess just how strong your marketing strategy is?  Wait no longer and take the assessment in the link below and see just How Strong Your Marketing Strategy Is.https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/61a603365a44ef001870d1b1 Is marketing your business making you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed out; less than opulent?

Tuning In and Tapping Into Your Intuition with Andrea Jones

“Good marketers realize that marketing is an investment.” - Cassandra AlexisIt is crucial to have a long-term plan for how you'll spread the word about your business, and the key to that is to have a specific spending plan (also known as a budget) for putting that plan into action.This is where many entrepreneurs make mistakes: not having a clear-cut marketing spending plan, not laying out important factors to consider, and not setting marketing goals to accomplish. Sometimes when the finances are tight, the marketing budget is the first at the cutting board - or sometimes even scratched altogether. But it shouldn't be. Failing to market and advertise your business properly can hugely impact your business and its potential to thrive. If you want to stay competitive and optimize your money, your marketing spending plan must cover all areas of planning, pricing, and of course, marketing your service.You may have questions like: How much should my marketing spending plan be? What activities should go into my marketing spending plan? How do I track the money that I spent on my marketing strategy? No need to worry because in this week’s episode, I’ll be giving you insights to help you figure out your marketing spending plan, shift your mindset, and work with the money that you need to allocate to go towards your marketing spending plan.

How Spending is an Investment and the Key to Your Business Growth

Wellness isn’t like a custom pair of jeans. It isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. What works for you might not work for me or anyone else. We don’t label it in a certain way but it is something that we all definitely need to find and have in life. We all experience setbacks, problems, or even trauma, and it’s up to us how we handle them and heal them from within. And it’s totally okay to not be okay. In Episode 81, we’ve invited Danielle Washington, a certified Karuna Reiki master, to share what Reiki is all about and how it can help YOU in the many aspects of your life. We’ll learn more about this Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. We also talk about how you can alleviate stress, visualize your vision, and use Reiki to help keep you in your flow. You can use Reiki to self-heal and just help you find your way to being your authentic self. In this conversation, we discuss:What Reiki is and its different benefitsWhat wellness is all aboutThe strong black woman mentalityMy first Reiki session with DanielleHow trauma can live and manifest in your bodyHow Reiki can help improve self-awareness and clarityOther resources mentioned:The Body Keeps the ScoreEpisode drink: Shirley Temple MimosaIngredients:ChampagneGrenadinePineapplesAbout the Guest:Danielle Washington is the host of Hella Well with Danielle Podcast, a certified Karuna Reiki Master, and the founder of Rogue Experiences, a travel company that focuses on creating travel experiences that are intimate for self-care for women of color.Connect with Danielle: WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterYouTubeEmailConnect with Me:Is marketing your business making you feel less than opulent?  Are you ready to create the opulent outcomes that you desire in your life and business?Schedule a complimentary discovery consultation via this link: https://calendly.com/cassandraalexisTune in to the Crowned Opulence Podcast on your favorite podcast app and join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.  Have a mimosa that you want to have featured or a conversation that you want to hear about on the show let me know at https://www.crownedopulencepodcast.com/Enjoy the show? I’d love to invite you to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcast.  It will help others like you find the show and be a part of these necessary conversations.  I can’t do it without you: leave a review on the Apple podcast here.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crownedopulence)

Make sure to subscribe for free so you don't miss an episode.

10 Tips to Getting One Step Closer to YOUR Most Opulent Life in 2022

Have you ever had this amazing idea in your head - be it as big as starting a business or as “simple” as launching your own podcast—and you sit around waiting for your fear to subside while you witness other people actually turn this same incredible idea of yours into a reality? Think about all the missed opportunities and ‘could have beens’.The past months, battling the pandemic and other challenges, have shown us that the life we have at the very moment can be changed in a snap. And so, while scary as it may be, it's important to face our fears and not let them keep us from the success that awaits us on the other side of fear. Fear takes on a life of its own, and our emotions sometimes control us more than we control them. While some may have the misconception that it’s “all in our heads”, it’s actually very real. It can make us become disillusioned about what we want in the present, which causes us to be complacent and stuck in our own comfort zone, too afraid to think outside the box or take risks. Being constantly in a state of fear keeps us from taking the next steps towards new things. It keeps us playing small because of the instinct of sticking with something familiar and comfortable.In this episode, I’m joined by Nortosia Scott, a Certified Abundant Life Coach. Listen to how she finally lives up to her purpose of changing lives and seeing everyone win as she shares her experience in conquering the fear of the unknown - even her fear of jumping into the ocean!Here in this episode, I also share with you a seemingly silly fear that I have recently overcome in this episode: drink alcohol that’s blended with ice cream! While Nortosia shares how overcoming one of her long-standing fears helped her enjoy her vacation even more.In this conversation, we discuss:Understanding fear and its different manifestationsFEAR is False Evidence Appearing RealWhat it means to be afraidThe two spectrums: (1) fear of the danger that we know of; and (2) fear of the unknownThe source of our fearsNortosia’s 3 main tips on overcoming fearsThe launching process of Crowned Opulence and the fear that came with itEpisode drink: Strawberry Shortcake MimosaIngredients:Strawberry Ice creamVanilla vodkaProsecco  Whipped cream with vanilla wafers About the Guest:Nortosia Scott is an abundant life coach and a licensed clinical social worker in Houston, Texas. Connect with Nortosia Scott : InstagramConnect with Me:Is marketing your business making you feel less than opulent?  Are you ready to create the opulent outcomes that you desire in your life and business?Schedule a complimentary discovery consultation via this link: https://calendly.com/cassandraalexisTune in to the Crowned Opulence Podcast on your favorite podcast app and join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.  Have a mimosa that you want to have featured or a conversation that you want to hear about on the show let me know at https://www.crownedopulencepodcast.com/Enjoy the show? I’d love to invite you to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcast.  It will help others like you find the show and be a part of these necessary conversations.  I can’t do it without you: leave a review on the Apple podcast here.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crownedopulence)

Avoid the Overwhelm: Your Guide to Doing Your Year-End  Business Review Right

Time and time again, our history and legacy have been told through the eyes of non-black people. Black women, particularly, have been portrayed as angry, uneducated, intimidating, etc. Often we are made to feel that we have little to no control over our destiny.However, we know the truth. We are Queens... Goddesses.This third installment in the three-part Unchained Goddess series, where my powerful and pearl-dropping co-authors of the book share their own personal stories of triumph, struggle, and wisdom with the goal of helping others unlock the goddess in them.Part 3 circles around our own encounters with situations that involve racism, spirituality, social stigmas, stereotypes, and even at times judgment from others. These things happened for us, not to us.  They led us to a path that brought personal, professional, entrepreneurial, and social growth and expansion. This project is proof that a group of black women can work together, support each other, uplift each other, and speak life into each other as black women, all without drama.My fellow goddesses and authors, Andrea “Infiniti” Jones, Shameka Jones, Jena Robinson, Dawn Kristin Ellison, Tierra Womack, and Paula Nichole Goode, also share their tips on how to live the most opulent life while staying true to their most authentic goddess self. Because it is only by living out and embracing our true identity can we live out our God-given purpose.Love to catch up on previous episodes?

Unchaining the Goddess: The Power That Comes From Knowing Your True Self and Worth with Co-Authors of the Unchained Goddess

Situational factors play a part, like losing your job or the death of a close family member. These have an impact on our mental health, and we cannot just ignore them.- Shakia Mayer“You’re crazy!”It’s a phrase often carelessly thrown in conversations without any second thought as to how it affects the person being referred to as “crazy”. Why should we even be careful, right? After all, it’s just a joke.But is it just a joke?We think words never hurt, but they actually do. That’s why this episode is centered around shedding light on the various stigmas surrounding mental illness and why we should all be thinking about the state of our mental health.And I’m delighted to have with me Shakia Mayer, a licensed mental health clinician, and personal development coach. My time with Shakia was super enriching and it awakened me to some of the most crucial issues surrounding mental health. According to Shakia, when we talk about mental illness, we're looking at a person’s mood, behavior, way of thinking, emotions, and his or her ability to self-regulate. But what struck me the most was the connection between living in impoverished, lower-income communities and having post-traumatic stress disorder. Shakia and I also go through various mental health conditions, symptoms of people who may be suffering from mental illness, and how to find support for you or your loved one who may be struggling with said conditions.October may be mental health awareness month, but we should all prioritize our mental health all year round and continuously educate and enlighten ourselves about each other’s plight, but more importantly, those who are suffering from various mental illnesses. Listen to this episode to know more.In this conversation, we discuss:Mental health is something we all have as it equates to positive emotional and social wellbeingThe stigma of asking for help as a sign of weakness and lacking willpowerTypes of mental illnesses diagnosis broken down into categories, severity, and level of functioningHow living in impoverished communities tie with experiencing PTSDAcknowledging biological factors increase the risk of developing a mental illnessSymptoms to watch out for if someone is suffering from depressionEpisode drink: Honey Grapefruit MimosaIngredients:Fresh grapefruitHoneyProseccoConnect with  Shakia: WebsiteConnect with Me:Is marketing your business making you feel less than opulent?  Are you ready to create the opulent outcomes that you desire in your life and business?Schedule a complimentary discovery consultation via this link: https://calendly.com/cassandraalexisTune in to the Crowned Opulence Podcast on your favorite podcast app and join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.  Have a mimosa that you want to have featured or a conversation that you want to hear about on the show let me know at https://www.crownedopulencepodcast.com/Enjoy the show? I’d love to invite you to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcast.  It will help others like you find the show and be a part of these necessary conversations.  I can’t do it without you: leave a review on the Apple podcast here.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crownedopulence)

This IS Normal: Destigmatizing Mental Illness with Shakira Mayer

How do you recognize if you are in a relationship that is entrenched in domestic abuse?Most women can go on in their relationships - marital or otherwise - without fully knowing and understanding that they are in fact abused or experiencing abuse in different forms.All the more reason why I make it my personal mission to always provide a platform where we can tackle topics and have difficult conversations that we might consider messy or uncomfortable  - and the issue of domestic abuse is one stark example. Countless women have suffered long enough without seeing any glimmer of hope or receiving any type of support or opportunity for recovery.This week, I have Tracey Forde joining me. Tracey is a Trauma Healing and Mindset Coach, motivational speaker, and founder editor of the inspirational blog, plantedtoflourish.com. Tracey shares her own story of domestic abuse, the power behind acceptance and a strong mindset, and finding the courage to step forward and deal with the most difficult of situations. My conversation with Tracey prompted some important questions that we must ask ourselves as we start building a relationship or have been involved with someone for quite a while. Are we willing to listen to our instincts and intuition when it comes to our significant other, or do we drown out our inner voice telling us to slow down, take a beat, and get to know the person more? Are we sensitive enough to see the red flags in a relationship, or do we drop everything in the name of love even though the signs are all there? Oh, and of course there is more.A word of caution for those listening to this episode, this may be triggering and could drudge up painful, traumatic memories that you’d want to never think about again, so if you need to pause do so.In this conversation, we discuss:What exactly  is  a domestic violence  relationship and what is it notHow abuse comes in various forms, not just physicalHow going backward helped Tracey to move forwardStaying alert, aware and active when it comes to preventing abuseIdentifying red flags for abusive behavior in someone you’re currently datingEpisode drink: Lychee rose mimosaIngredients:Sparkling wineCanned lychee in syrupRosewaterConnect with Tracey: FacebookInstagramWebsiteConnect with Me:Is marketing your business making you feel less than opulent?  Are you ready to create the opulent outcomes that you desire in your life and business?Schedule a complimentary discovery consultation via this link: https://calendly.com/cassandraalexisTune in to the Crowned Opulence Podcast on your favorite podcast app and join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.  Have a mimosa that you want to have featured or a conversation that you want to hear about on the show let me know at https://www.crownedopulencepodcast.com/Enjoy the show? I’d love to invite you to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcast.  It will help others like you find the show and be a part of these necessary conversations.  I can’t do it without you: leave a review on the Apple podcast here.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crownedopulence)
