Episode 195: Become Emboldened Win! Writing a Children’s Book, Becoming a Coach, and Dreaming Bigger with Chrissy Janiga

Oct 26

Why do we not dream bigger?

As kids, we have all these dreams. For Karolina, it was to write books. At one point, she dreamt of winning the Nobel Prize. But when she stepped into adulthood, she stopped dreaming.

Today’s guest, Chrissy Janiga, is an author, social worker, wife, mother, and a mindset and alcohol-free coach. She too forgot about what it was like to dream. Here, she shares her amazing story about how ditching alcohol allowed her to dream bigger, unleash her inner fire, and form a beautiful relationship with her intuition.

Chrissy is an alum of the Become Emboldened program and is now in our Empowered AF Certification program. Through her work, she shares her message and makes an impact in the world. Her story gives people permission to dream and say: why not me?

IN THIS EPISODE:

Chrissy’s incredible story – her background, her relationship with alcohol, and the turning point that made her decide to never go back
The realizations Chrissy had about herself after she was done with alcohol, plus, her morning routine, which allows her to connect to her higher self
With “gray area” drinking, everything might look fine on the surface but can cause you to play smaller than what you’re fully capable of
How a $100 course was the catalyst for Chrissy self-publishing her first children’s book (and how she overcame her creative blocks)
Chrissy’s experiences with manifestation and meditation and how these practices get her excited to start a new day
How every time we expand, it creates a ripple effect, giving other people permission to choose their desires and dreams, too

REFLECTION QUESTION:

Was there a time when you dreamt bigger than you do now? If so, what were those dreams? How old were you? And what caused you to stop dreaming so big?

“I don't think people can't manifest, of course, when they're drinking. I would never say that. I don't believe that. But for me, I don't think I was able to manifest big enough. I didn't think I could dream big enough. And that is the biggest takeaway, for me, is that even when I'm down, I'm having a bad week, I have to center myself and remember why I'm doing this. And then, if I do want to manifest something, I need to believe it. When you go alcohol-free, and you go through all these stages, and you really find that you start to enjoy it, it gives you more confidence to realize – what else can you do? What else is out there?” - Chrissy Janiga

“I do like meditation. I think it's really important, especially to connect to your intuition and connect to your higher self. And there's so many different meditations you can do. Sometimes I do only a five minute-meditation. Sometimes I do a longer meditation, depending on my mood and the day. I practice gratitude. I 100% believe the more we cultivate things into our life that we're grateful for, the more the universe will also give back. And even if people don't believe in manifestation, the principles behind manifestation are just really to be in a different level and to be happy and to be grateful for what we have.” - Chrissy Janiga
