purpose

Some things in life are not only TAUGHT, they’re CAUGHT. God gives us a “Great-Go” in Scripture - a race to run - and it ISN’T accomplished by merely absorbing information in a classroom or church setting. It happens “on-the-move” and with people!!

I was renovating houses when I turned forty-five. I asked myself, “Do I want to be doing this when I am sixty-five?” The answer was a definitive, “Not no, but absolutely no!” But let me drill down a little more on that question, with an eternal perspective in mind: “Do I want to see myself in five years as the same “spiritual Sam” I am now?”

Welcome to Beyond the Words! I'm Dimple Thakrar, your host, and guardian angel on this transformative journey. In today's episode, I delve into the realms of the extraordinary, sharing my personal revelations and inviting you to embrace your authentic self.

Summary:
In this episode, I recount my experiences at a Dr. Joe Dispenza retreat, where profound insights led me to unveil my long-held connection with multi-dimensional living. I share the challenges of embracing my spiritual gifts, shaped by a childhood influenced by societal norms and fear. The podcast explores the power of following one's soul calling, defying 3D constraints, and leaping into unknown territories.

Key Takeaways:

1. Soul Calling: Trust your intuition and act on the soul's calling, even when it seems unrealistic in the 3D world.
2. Multi-Dimensional Living: Explore the layers of reality beyond the visible, embracing the richness of multi-dimensional existence.
3. Guardian Angel: Discover the concept of being a guardian angel for others, guiding them through abundance, purpose, and love.
4. Permission to Be: Encourage listeners to give themselves permission to be their authentic selves, breaking free from societal expectations.

Thank you for joining me on this enlightening journey. Remember, it's safe to see, hear, and claim your authentic self. I've named this journey "Dimpled," a symbol of giving yourself permission to be your truest, most authentic self.

Do you ever say you’re going to do something - but then you don’t? You’re not alone. Peter lied to Jesus and the apostle Paul admits that he talks about doing one thing but then ends up doing the exact opposite …and he can’t stop! Maybe we can all relate with his frustration when he asks, “Is there anyone who can do anything for me?”

The beauty of doing the podcast is getting to meet people like Rechelle Conde-Nau.  She is a fellow podcaster, mom, blogger, and a coach, who wants to encourage other midlife women to stop waiting for good things to happen and hop in the driver's seat to find their passion and purpose.  

After Rechelle and her husband lost a child, the events to follow would lead her life on an unexpected and welcomed path, but once she hit midlife, Rechelle started to get the itch to share her life learnings and help other women break free from fear to become who they already are.  

Rechelle and I agree on many things.  Some of the topics we discuss:
 - There is room at the table for all women, and all boats rise with the tide.  Rechelle and I both have podcasts for midlife women, but that doesn't stop us from sharing ideas and tips and cheering each other on.  
- You don't need confidence to get started, but you may need a little courage.  The confidence comes later with some success under your belt.
- Don't wait to get started until you are ready.  If you wait, you may never do "the thing".  

Check out Rechelle's podcast Unabashed You and her lovely, heartfelt blog on her website.
