Happy New Year aka Happy Spring!

We are stepping into a new season. One of vitality, rejuvenation, and new beginnings 🌱

Affirm it with me!

❤️ My roots are planted deep to face any storm this season brings.
🧡 I allow my life to be a free-flow of creativity, joy, and self-expression.
💛 I make decisions with clarity and conviction to shape my future.
💚 I lead with an open heart and acceptance to change.
💙 I speak my truth freely and empower others to do the same.
💜 I live in alignment with my authentic Self.
🤍 I am open to letting go of my attachments to enter a new era.

Each of these affirmations is connected to one of our seven chakras (energy centers) in our body. Repeating affirmations can help unblock our chakras and allow energy to flow freely again. ✨

Which mood/affirmation/chakra is speaking to you most? I’m #7 (crown chakra) 🤍

Love,
Kaylin

Making big investments requires confronting your deepest fears and limiting beliefs. Here’s why ⤵️

If you were raised in scarcity or feeling like there "there is never enough," the first story to re-write is that THERE IS enough money to go around, and YOU ARE WORTH IT.

I made 3 big investments in 1 week, and here's what I learned:

✨ MAKING A PROS/CONS LIST IS A GREAT WAY TO BUILD TRUST WITH YOURSELF
It's important to see things objectively, with no emotions involved, and sit on this list for some time so you can see it rationally without emotions. Once some time has gone by, you likely know your answer.

However, even then…

✨ INVESTING IN OURSELF CAN FEEL SCARY
Investing in ourselves is terrifying, especially if it's not something we're used to doing. This can be for a number of reasons, including societal conditioning and upbringing .

It can also be scary if it's a huge financial investment and you worry about "wasting" the money. This is a scarcity mindset that's important to unlearn because there is an abundance of all things when we choose to see it!

✨ YOUR SELF-BELIEF MUST BE STRONGER THAN YOUR SELF-DOUBT
Part of our fear is feeling as though we are inadequate. It's up to YOU to believe in YOURSELF. No one can do it for you. No one can push you like you can push yourself. And most importantly, no one has the vision for your life - you do.

"Feel the fear and do it anyway" because...

✨ WHERE THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY
Even if it's an investment that you KNOW you want to make - no question or doubt about it - there may be factors preventing you from investing right away. This can be financial concerns, time commitments, or life circumstances unique to you. Now that there is a way through. Whether through loans, the bank of Mom and Dad, payment plans, or other forms of financial assistance.

Which brings me to...

Today, on International Women's Day and Maha Shivratri, I am choosing to celebrate ME! 🌹

I acknowledge, embrace, and empower
🤍 the past versions of my Self and the women who came before me

🤍 the present version of my Self and the women who stand beside me

🤍 the future versions of my Self and my lineage

In the face of adversity, I RISE, and I THRIVE. 👑
That's one of my favorite, most worthy traits about mySelf. ➡️ Tell me yours in the comments!

I thank God[dess] every day to walk this path and live this life with grace, faith, and resilience.

I am here to create great change - I already am - and I'm grateful to guide you to do the same.

That is reason to celebrate.
That is reason to love.
That is reason to be authentically ME. ✨️

If you're looking to build your relationship with Spirit/ your intuition - this is for you

I'm sure at some point, repeating numbers such as 11:11, 2:22, 4:44 of 3:03 have caught our attention...

Most times, it's a cute experience. Sometimes, we want to know why.

I've identified angel numbers as one of the many ways Spirit (guides, angels, however you call them) communicates with me - simply because I take notice of them, and my intuition is heightened when I see these numbers (I'm more alert, aware, and "tuned in.")

Other ways Spirit can communicate with us is through music, art, animals, insight meditation, and more. Which ways to you notice?

✨ 001. Seeing angel numbers encourages us to identify the medium that spirit/ our intuition communicates with us

✨ 002. Angel numbers are a signal to pay closer attention to people, places, or things that are calling for our attention at this moment.

In my latest mini-sode, I share my experience of seeing "222" many times, just before someone new entered my life, forcing me to connect within to make a big decision...

🎙️ Listen here: https://catalyst.captivate.fm/episode/angel-numbers

✨ Comment below if you notice angel numbers and which ones!

P.S. Of course I had to release a mini-sode on angel numbers on 3/3 ;)

It's time to meet our perfectionism with LOVE

On my podcast, I shared a Mini-Story on the moment I realized how deep my perfectionism runs.

This realization was uncovered through and from my journaling practice.

👉🏽The idea of needing to be perfect is crippling. Literally debilitating, as it can prevent us from doing what we aspire to - or are meant to - do in this lifetime. Whether that’s posting to social media, sharing our art, or starting that podcast/blog/YouTube channel/business.

These journaling prompts from Day One Blog help examine our relationship with perfectionism and cultivating self-acceptance and LOVE.

Let me know in the comments if you'll be giving these a try! 💫

Love is authenticity (here's what I mean ⤵️)

I 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 love. However, as a society, we've commercialized and glamorized overt and over-the-top expressions of love.

"Self-love" has become a buzzword and seemingly more complex.

It's not always bubble baths, facials, massages, and aesthetic wellness routines (although these things are pleasing, too!)

👉🏽 Self-love is tending to the most important relationship we will EVER have - the one with our Self.

It's practices that honor our true essence and authenticity, so that we may connect with ourselves and with others in a more meaningful way. ✨
⁣
Here are 3 ways to love on yourSelf - in ways that are non-physical, yet unique and authentic to you. 🤍

Tune into my 15-minute segment called SELF-LOVE anywhere you listen to podcasts.
⁣
Which is your favorite? Any others you'd add to the list?

Are you ready for a self-love journey? 🫶🏾

Join me for the first-ever "Catalyst for Self-Love" Challenge throughout February!

✨ Each day, post something to IG (or any platform you like) related to the prompt, reflecting on what it means to you, what you love about it, or how you infuse love into that aspect of your life.

Get creative, be authentic, and let's connect! Use and tag me .

There's no judgment here, simply awareness ✨

A lot of us are talking about/feeling the current energies to release and transform...

🌌 Whether it's the new calendar year, Pluto in Aquarius, or today's full moon...

But what does it mean? Where do we start?

👉🏽When we choose to look inward, we may encounter many "blocks" and biases that prevent us from seeing our *true* Self 🪞

This could make it difficult to identify what needs to shift in our lives, and much less, how to create the shifts we need.

Let's start here 👇🏽

👉🏽Here are 3 ways to identify where we may be giving our power away:

⭐WE LET OTHERS DETERMINE OUR FUTURE
This may look like ignoring our gut feelings and listening to the opinions, advice, and/or voices of others to make our decisions instead.

⭐WE WORK HARD TO AVOID CRITICISM
Striving for perfection or to please others is not only exhausting, it undermines our uniqueness. The validation we seek comes from within.

⭐WE HAVE TROUBLE SETTING BOUNDARIES
Setting healthy boundaries is an important life skill. When the line between what matters to us and what matters to others becomes blurred, we lose our sense of Self.

🎙️Listen to my latest mini-sode for tips on reclaiming your power: https://catalyst.captivate.fm/episode/reclaim-power

Comment below if any of these resonate or which one you're choosing to focus on!

You got this!

Mindful moments from the second annual Catalyst Vision Board Connects ✨

We cleansed our auras, practiced yoga asanas, sat in meditation, and pulled intention cards to connect with our heart-center. Then, we enjoyed heart-warming refreshments and created our 2024 vision boards together.

Extending a heart full of gratitude to everyone who showed up fully to connect, share, release, and set intentions for the new year.

In this safe space, folks remarked on feeling calm, rejuvenated, motivated, grounded, and excited about the new year! Everyone felt more connected to their 2024 vision and intentions after the event. ✨ Some were especially inspired to start using their voice more after a collective energy clearing around our Vishuddha (throat) Chakra!

Special thank you to:
🤍 The Aura House Brampton for the beautiful space
🤍 Conscious Empowerment for the delicious menu
🤍 Anugra Shah for capturing these moments

Mini-sode No. 121 - Mini-Story: How I Am Welcoming A New Era (with Guided Reflection Prompts)

A New Era Is Here.

Pluto - the planet of death, rebirth, and transformation - is moving placements after 17 years, and won't be at this position in the sky for another 250+ years! 🤯
..doesn't that seem major?! It is! Like I always say, we are all interconnected - with planets, too! 🌎🪐💫

You may not be into astrology, but there's no denying that your life looks drastically different than it did in 2008.

In this mini-sode, I go vulnerable and share about my major turning point in 2008 and life as it is, since.

I also share 6 guided reflection prompts. I encourage you to grab a notebook and pen, or be prepared to go deep into reflection. It'll be so worth it, I promise!

Listen here: https://catalyst.captivate.fm/episode/story-new-era

There are many new faces around here... 👀 hi! I'm your host Kaylin 🎙 and here's some bits about my podcast magic:

🤍 I am a one-woman show! (With firm boundaries to avoid burnout 😉)

🤍 I ideate, create, record, film, edit, produce, schedule (when I remember 😅), post, and manage every piece of content you consume from me, on my own

🤍 I produce new "mini-sodes" (podcast episodes 20 mins or less) every Thursday and Sunday - each with a guided meditation and healing sound bath

🤍 I also produce "mini-meditations" which are fully guided meditations, led by me in under 20 mins ft. a sound bath

🤍My podcast was created with the intention to become a part of your brain breaks or AM/PM routines to help you find stillness in your busy day

🤍 The exception to mini-sodes, is my "Mini-Chat" series, where I chat with interesting individuals making meaningful impact in our community by being their true Self

🤍 The vocals and sound baths you experience on my podcast are the magic of my dear friend, LUCIANA

Thanks for being here! Drop a 🎙 in the comments if you are a fellow podcast creator, listener, or lover of all!

Mini-sode No. 119 - The COMMUNITY you seek is seeking you

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” – Mother Teresa

I've said it in previous mini-sodes and I'll say it again, 2024 is the year of CO-CREATION and COMMUNITY! We are so much better, together.

There is a community out there waiting to support all facets and versions of you - from the avid tea lover ☕, to the bookworm 📚, the yogi 🧘🏾 who also loves strength training 🏋🏿, the world traveler 🌏, and more!

I have a community for each facets of myself, and I am calling in community for the areas of my life where I don't feel as supported. I am also CREATING the community I so longed for through my community events.

I get into all of this in this segment, plus more in this segment.

My raw, naked truth (literally 🤭) ⤵️ Nature is not external to us. Nature IS us. *Storytime* In 2021, I was severely disconnected from my body and thus, from nature. I was physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually transformed by a tumultuous, karmic relationship that forever changed me. The only light I could see in the relationship was the one that I *knew* existed within me... so, I needed to strip away all the layers to allow my inner light to shine. Part of my journey called for reconnecting with my inner essence, my body, mySelf. To do this, I envisioned myself being one with nature, literally, in my most pure form. Thank you to @caliebriannaboudoir for bringing my vision to life with boudoir photography 🌿 Seeing myself as one with the elements - with all my vulnerability and strength - confirmed the natural world as our mirror 🤍 This is my first time speaking publicly about this experience. Thank you @paula.dicu for creating this safe space with me 🫶🏽 Get all the juicy deets in our Mini-Chat on YouTube. Comment "LINK" and I'll DM you. Has this changed YOUR lens on photography? Let me know below! #catalystbykaylin #catalystconnects #minichatseries #catalystforselflove #boudoir #nature #photography #healing

Are the stories you tell yourself, helping you or harming you? 💭 Always remember that YOU have the power to choose! In my recent Mini-Chat with @paula.dicu, we chatted through the unique experiences she encountered in life that forced her to either contract or expand. 🦋 From booking a one-way ticket to backpack the 🌍for 16 months to healing her body and receiving reiki for the first time... Every experience led her to find the trust within. Watch our full chat on YouTube and listen anywhere you listen to podcasts. Comment "YouTube" or "Podcast" and I'll DM you a link! #catalystbykaylin #catalystconnects #minichatseries

Are you ready to release and receive? ⤵️ It's time to let go of our limiting beliefs, expectations, preconceived notions of who we thought we were and what we thought our life would be... And trust in the magic that is deep within our soul ✨ ✨AKA our soul's calling, our intuition, our inner wisdom ✨AKA the parts of ourselves that we've buried deep or pushed aside because they were not what society wanted us to embrace It's time. It's time to bring these parts of ourselves back to the surface To love them And to transform. We might be a bit skeptical or uncertain at first 🤔 This is why co-creating in community is special because the forward-momentum is AMPLIFIED 😍 This clearing around our Vishuddha chakra was related to speaking our truth and expressing our Self... I wish this for all of us. Let's start now! Drop a comment below with something you're ready to release 🦋 #catalystbykaylin #catalystconnects #community #mindfulness #throatchakra #vishuddha #vishuddhachakra #energyclearing #energyhealing

Yesterday, I found mySelf missing the Fall season in Toronto 🍂 I don't often "miss" feelings or places. This is because I'm so ✨ in the moment ✨ when I experience them - I like to make sure I soak in everything I can at the time! So, when I do miss something, that means I'm being pulled away from my PRESENT moment, my current reality... I'm being called to focus on something else. My mind and heart are wandering to another reality from the past where I was seemingly more fulfilled or engaged... 👉🏽Missing something is a call for me to ground mySelf. - To acknowledge what exactly I'm missing (usually connection to mySelf) - To reconnect and remember that everything I need exists in the NOW. 👉🏽Here are 6 tips to ground yourself at any moment: 🤍Connect with nature 🤍Take 3 long, deep breaths 🤍 Move your body with intention 🤍Chant a mantra or recite an affirmation 🤍Call a loved one 🤍Listen to my podcast! Check out my mini-sode called GROUNDING for more Are there any other practices you'd add to this list? What's been keeping you grounded lately? Follow @catalystbykaylin for more everyday mindfulness ✨ 🤍Kaylin🤍 #catalystbykaylin #mindfulness #grounding #groundingtechniques #mindfulpractice #toronto

What's standing between you and your dreams? ⤵️ 1. You. 2. The limiting beliefs that likely aren't yours! You know that little whisper in your ear, yearning in your heart, or dream in your mind that you keep ignoring? It's time to create your reality and JUST GO FOR IT! This may look like practicing on your steel tongue drum 🥁 for the first time on your bedroom floor, then playing it live for a group of beautiful souls during meditation one month later 😍 Tune in, be still, and listen to your inner guidance. You have all the answers within ✨️ 💫 I have 119 podcast mini-sodes to help guide you back to your heart-centre 💫 I host #CatalystConnects to help connect you to community 💫 I offer Reiki to help shift/clear/reset your energy Let's journey together 🦋 DM me "READY" to start creating your new reality today! 🎥: @anugrashah Stay tuned for more from our Vision Board Connects last weekend ✨️ Let's get it, Catalyst fam!!

Have you ever caught yourself jumping to conclusions? *insert meme* How far into your make-believe story did you get before you caught yourself? I recently found myself down a deep rabbit hole of assumptions - even getting emotional over it, which was my signal to pull myself out of this spiral. 🌪 It's taken me years of practice and self-awareness to be able to identify these spirals and pull myself out. Our minds are so convincing and powerful! Well, creating uplifting stories and self-talk is just as powerful ✨️ just a different way to use our precious energy! The stories we write, read, and tell ourselves can either uplift us or bring us down... and every day we choose. What does your lens on life look like today? 💭 I'm here to help you get clear on what matters most to you and/or is holding you back 🤍 DM me "RESET" to book a 1:1 energy reset session, just in time for the winter season! With love, Kaylin #catalystbykaylin #mindfulness #selfawareness #stories #selftalk #perspective #reiki
