The magazines call her Jennifer Lopez's psychic, but she is SO much more than that.   Jae Rae blew my mind today. She's part medium, part therapist, part life coach, part tough-talking New York auntie, and ALL genius. Together, we talk about the power hidden deep within all of us, what it means to align our intentions with our desires, and yes, even get her predictions on who is going to win the election in November. If EVER there were a must-see episode of my show, it's this.   RESOURCES:   Jae's Website: www.jaeraelive.com  Jae's Socials: @JAE RAE LIVE --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

It's so easy for us to get wrapped up in the opinions of other people, especially at work, but that's why we NEED to come with armor, and a fierce understanding of our own gifts. I STILL struggle with insecurity and doubt, but the other day I created a list of things I KNOW I'm great at, where I add value, and I'm telling you, you MUST do the same.   Take the time to list everything you know you're amazing at. Maybe you're a great listener, a great organizer,  a great friend, a great leader, or even a great driver. Having a strong relationship with your own gifts will make you invincible as people try to tear you down.  Did this episode resonate with you?

What's it going to take for you to FINALLY live the life you want to live?  For me it was a brain tumor. For Shauna Niequist, it was the painful realization that her stress, exhaustion, and overwhelm had turned into nothing: complete numbness. But wasn't Shauna was living her dream..? Multiple #NYT bestselling author, frequently booked international lecturer, and celebrated thought leader?    Despite the success, she realized that her inability to be present with the people she truly loved the most - her husband and her children - was the final straw. As she says in her bestseller #PresentOverPerfect: "It's very hard to be loved and connected to the people in your home when you're always bringing them your most exhausted self and resenting the fact that the scraps you're giving them aren't cutting it.”   Shauna's decision to choose presence over perfection wasn't an easy one; as she mentions in the interview, saying yes to some people means saying no to others. But if we're guaranteed to disappoint people, shouldn't we make those people the least important people, rather than our closest loved ones? In today's beautiful convo,  Shauna and I discuss how to make those decisions as we inevitably disappoint certain people in our lives so we can honor those we love the most.
