You, Enlightened.

Self awareness isn't a destination.
It's a journey. Let us be your guides.

This podcast is for seekers. It’s for experienced deep thinkers and anyone just beginning to look inward. For the young, old and anyone in between. For those stuck in a self-sabatoging mindset to those looking to enhance their lives.

We're here for all of you.

Your Hosts

Melissa Albers + JJ Parker
Meet Melissa and JJ
Just like all of you, we are on a life-long journey to improve ourselves. We've extensively studied and applied the concepts discussed in each episode to our own lives.

But we also bring a unique perspective you won’t hear elsewhere. As successful business owners and coaches, we also teach you how to use these lessons to elevate your career as well as your personal life.

This isn't your ordinary self-help podcast.

Get ready to explore topics like:

  • Self care and protecting your energy
  • Changing how you talk to yourself
  • Identifying your bad habits and triggers
  • How anxiety and fear hold you back
  • Developing an abundance mindset
  • How negativity and negative relationships sabotage…
  • How money and salary can impact your feeling of self worth
  • Forgiving not just others, but most importantly, yourself

What life are you creating for yourself today?

Our podcast is just the beginning of your path to deeper self awareness. We’ve also developed an easy-to-follow course to help you create the life you want and deserve.

With our guidance, you embark on your own self-guided journey that lets you go at your own pace.
