Overview:

In this episode of Mind Power Meets Mystic, we are joined by Jana Marie Tuotolmin, a powerful voice in the world of leadership and spiritual growth. Jana shares her journey of integrating angelic and frequency work, and how this transformation has allowed her to better serve women in leadership. She discusses her books and the frequencies we all carry, including how to break out of victimhood and heal from brokenness. This conversation is a deep dive into aligning our inner truth, healing wounds, and stepping into authentic leadership with integrity.

Key Highlights:

• The Journey to Integration: Jana shares how, for many years, she struggled to combine her spiritual practices with leadership work for women. Eventually, standing in her truth allowed her to merge the two into a powerful, fulfilling career.
• The Importance of Mentorship: Jana emphasizes how having a mentor or coach is a game-changer. She discusses how a mentor helped her move beyond the "box" of her own limiting beliefs, and how mentorship can provide clarity in life’s toughest moments.
• Book Discussion: Jana talks about her two books:

1. The Authorities - A collaborative book featuring leaders like Les Brown and Bob Proctor, where Jana shares her insights on mastering frequencies and creating the life you desire.
2. The Catalyst for Clarity (coming in 2025) - This book will delve deeper into the challenges women in leadership face, particularly the "hot mess" under the success, like unhealed broken hearts. She discusses how unresolved emotional wounds can hinder true leadership and the importance of healing.

• Victimhood vs. Empowerment: Jana explains how many people, particularly women, stay stuck in the "why me" frequency, seeing themselves as victims. She teaches that life happens for you, not to you, and encourages listeners to reframe their experiences for greater empowerment.
• Healing for True Leadership: Through her work, Jana has found that many successful women in leadership roles are carrying emotional wounds that have never been healed. She advocates for healing these wounds to step into authentic leadership with integrity and self-awareness. Women in leadership must support one another to build a stronger, more empowered collective.
