Do you live a soul inspired life? Do you live an empowered life? Are you living your authentic life?

Hyacinth Myers supports women to connect with their authentic selves at soul level, empowering them to create a new and better life, regardless of their story. In this episode, Hyacinth and I discuss various aspects of adversity and the best ways to overcome them. She also gives us a brief overview of her 7-steps to overcome adversity, along with an inside scoop on her next book that she is currently working on.

HERE ARE 3 TIPS TO HELP YOU ON YOUR ROAD TO SELF-EMPOWERMENT

  1. Reflect - On your journey so far, being compassionate with yourself.
  2. Reset - Looking at the negative you learned in each situation and reframing what no longer serves.
  3. Reconnect - Looking at the positive you learned in each situation and going forward to realign with who you are now and where you want to be.

If you'd like to move from self-loathing to self-love, as Beverly did, stay tuned for today's episode that is Sure to help you take on the world. And now here's Beverly. Enjoy the show. 


[:

I'm Beverly Price, a divorce recovery coach. I've helped hundreds of women get rid of their emotional divorce hangover, so they're not just coping with life, but happily thriving. If you or someone you know would like to chat with me, contact me at her self-expression dot com. I'd love to help. I'm also the host of this podcast, her self-expression. 


It wasn't too long ago that I learned that research shows that four out of every five women struggle with feeling less than other women, and one out of two women feel more self-doubt than self-love, and I wanted to do something about it. I created the Her Self-expression podcast to provide knowledge, support, and insight to help women on their journey to self-empowerment on the inside and out, so they can live the fulfilling life they were meant to be. 


I'm on a mission to help 100,000 women live the powerful and fabulous lives they've made for. In this podcast, I inspire women to learn how they can use self-expression on the inside and out, so they can ultimately become the women they long to be. Each episode of the podcast brings listeners growth strategy, and actionable takeaways from talented and experienced guests that will help you on your journey to self-love and fulfillment. 


Today I have these questions for you to contemplate. Do you live a soul inspired life? Do you live an empowered life? Are you living your authentic life? Well, my guest today is Hyacinth Myers. Hyacinth is a life strategist, soul alignment coach, author, and international speaker. I heard Hyacinth speak at a woman's summit not too long ago and found her fascinating. 


She's going to speak with us today about how to live a soul inspired and empowered life. Hi, Hyacinth. How are you doing today? 


[:

[00:03:06] Beverly Price: I'd like to introduce you a little bit further to the audience and share that you're a creative entrepreneur, CEO, and founder of the Empower seven Method, a woman's personal empowerment program. 


As a life strategist, soul alignment coach, author, and international speaker, she supports women 35 and older who have been through trauma to stand up for their soul to rediscover more freedom and happiness, and she has the experience. She has overcome 30 plus years of personal adversity herself. 


Expressing her core values, Hyacinth gently encourages women to experience life on the other side of trauma with more freedom, inner peace, and a spiritual connection. As an author, poet, and international speaker, she impacts by sharing her story openly with actionable steps and compassion to overcome any adversity or challenge life may present. She holds sacred space for women to evolve organically in her sister circles signature program workshops, the aligned way, experience, and a 21 day soul embodiment experience. She's the author of Seven Steps to Overcoming Adversity and Transforming Your Life, and also Roses Do Grow From Concrete, and she has a third book that's gonna be released soon that I hope we can get the inside scoop on. She has also appeared on East London Radio and BBC Breakfast, been featured on various local and national British newspapers and written in magazines and talking to organizations about adversity in women's issues. I'm just so excited to have Hyacinth speak with us today and really am excited about the topic she's bringing to the table. I can't wait to ask her some questions. So Hyacinth, I just am so fascinated with the topic and my very first question is, what is a soul alignment coach? 


[:

So for me, I just see myself as the guide who really helps women get back to their soul, and then from there they start to align and start to find their own purpose and their own place in the world. 


[:

[00:06:15] Hyacinth Myers: I think a lot of it actually started as a young child living in the house where there was domestic abuse. And growing up in that environment I always looked for outside where I could support other people. So I started my journey to community, like really at the age of 15. And then I've been through various other really life-changing adversities, including, you know, a single parenthood, which is really tough. Baby loss. 


[:

[00:06:44] Hyacinth Myers: And also just having a child who's got disabilities. Oh, it's okay. Actually, it was just, that was probably the most profound, 


[:

[00:06:53] Hyacinth Myers: Trauma in my life. So I felt like I really changed after that. And that was at the age of thirty four. So, From that time onwards, I think we all are scared about being judged and about our brokenness, and for me, it was actually starting to bring together all of my life experiences and how I could really impact the community and the people that I actually wanted to work with. 


Because I'd worked in various parts of the community, but I felt a real calling to now focus on. and actually support women. So I did a lot of that work years before I actually launched my business doing that actually. 


[:

[00:07:41] Hyacinth Myers: I'm mean for me, I have a program that's, and, and I kind of hate saying the word program because a lot of these programs have developed, but this really did come from my soul and I started to really do a lot of looking back at my life. I'm a very reflective person anyway, and I thought, okay, what is it that allows me to get past these situations? 


[:

[00:08:04] Hyacinth Myers: I was being asked these questions all the time by other women and you know, just as you talk and you share stories, And that's when I actually found, okay. The seven steps that I do actually go through and it is cliché, but it is seven actual steps and they are steps that I use in my life now. I realize I've always used them and all I do is I kind of, I just share that with other people and then they obviously will pick and choose what works for them, but also bringing in what's worked for them before that they may not have actually sat down and really reflected on. 


[:

[00:08:43] Hyacinth Myers: Yeah, I can the first step, I mean, they actually put, spill out the word Empower Seven, but the first step is actually about embracing and it's about accepting where you are in this challenge or this situation. Because I think once we have that acceptance, then that allows us to be able to move forward. 


I think a lot of the time we're stuck because we're not accepted and embracing where we are. And then the second step is actually just motivating, like finding ways to motivate yourself while you're going through this challenge. And I'd really just get women to really reflect on their own life because we all have, there are hundreds of different ways we motivate ourselves and it's actually about what really works for you because all of our life journey's so different. the third step is about power, and it's really about seeing the power we have even in properly the lifestyle circumstances and situations. 


We always have some kind of choice and it may not feel like that, but we do have a choice. And then the fourth step is about overcoming. And that really speaks for itself. What have you already overcome and how, and going back to tools that you may have used. And then this fifth step is actually about wellness. 


So how do you keep yourself well, or how can you keep yourself well while you're going through these challenges? Because it is so easy to neglect yourself mm-hmm. and become so emotionally entangled in the situation. You actually make yourself more unwell. And then the last two steps are about emotional intelligence and resilience. 


So that's all about what you learn, what you've learned before, and how you've respond to people while you're going through those challenges. So I don't think it's nothing, it's nothing brand new, but it's actually about how you kind of go through those stages and once you go through those stages, I think once you really recognize your own life, then you can move through those stages quicker and quicker and bounce back faster and faster after every challenge. 


[:

[00:11:08] Hyacinth Myers: Yeah, I, I mean, I actually, I feel the same because I think, oh my God, these are the stories. A lot of the time we are always being told not to speak, not to tell people, but these are actually the stories that are really creating change in other people because if they can see it, then actually they know that they can achieve the same. 


[:

[00:11:40] Hyacinth Myers: Yeah, it's so true. 


[:

[00:11:53] Hyacinth Myers: I mean, the way I actually do that is while we're working through those seven kind of steps, I do a range of different exercises. So we do a lot of creative visualization, and I just think once you start getting into things like meditation, whether you're doing it with a coach or not, if you start practicing regular guided visualization and things like journaling and gratitude. 


I think those are probably three of the most important things to push you forward. And there were so many different ways because I can talk to you, you might have read a really wonderful book that really touched you or Moved you and that would be the kind of book or the way that you might do your stuff for your journaling. 


Because people would say to me like, for instance, how do you journal? And I'm like, actually there, it's open. There's no prescriptive way. It's about you getting your thoughts, your feelings, and your ideas down and I think once we kind of get out there are there is a specific way to empower yourself or a specific way to unravel the story? No, there isn't. There are millions of ways because there are millions of us. 


[:

[00:13:14] Hyacinth Myers: Yeah, I think for me, I always say, and I actually practice it myself cuz I'm never used to doing at least one thing a day for myself. And I know we have the usual things where people say, take a long bath, go for a walk. Whatever it is that actually feeds your soul. And it could be anything. I mean, I love to just take photos on my smartphone. I may never print them, but it's actually, just going out and doing that, that's something for me. Cuz I do that on my own and it's part of my self-care. Yeah. And there are so many other ways that women can find and remember cuz I think a lot of the time we're stuck in our roles as women, who we are supposed to be. And we forget what we really love to do. 


[:

Thank you for listening to my podcast. Are you or is anyone you know stuck carrying the life numbing, emotional baggage after your divorce. I call this the divorce hangover. Whether you are newly divorced or divorced many years ago, this happens. Do you want more? Want to feel happy, worthy, confident, and successful? 


Want to move on? Many women invest in attorneys and accountants, but ignore their emotional. Some because they don't feel like they deserve it. Others won't invest in themselves like we do for others, and others decide just to stuff their emotions and trudge through life. If this sounds like you or someone you know and you want more out of life, then my divorce recovery coaching program may be just the answer with one-on-one personal support. 


We'll work together to cure your divorce, hang. With a customized solution, join hundreds of women that have walked through divorce with me to the other side. Schedule a free confidential divorce recovery breakthrough session to learn more and say yes to thriving for your lifetime. The link to schedule this session will be in the show notes. Now let's get back to the show. 


And we're back. Hyacinth, what three actionable steps would you give to the woman in our audience to help them on their journey to empowerment? 


[:

So one of the ways, I say to women is, look back on your life. Just spend maybe 10 minutes. Sit down, write a timeline back on your life, the most important parts of your life that you feel like you had changed. What were the positive things you learned, and what were the negative things and the things that you're gonna keep, or the positive, the negative things are the ways. It's really the way for you to, what you're gonna work on, actually, how you're gonna omit those from your life. If that's what you wanna do, but also focusing on how you move forward with that. 


[:

[00:16:43] Hyacinth Myers: I think when we have, it's almost like a life review when we're going into jobs or we wanna change our career, so why are we not doing life reviews as to where we. What's working for us? What's not working and what things we might need to not get rid of but actually stop doing. 


Because sometimes we can, especially with women as carers, we can be locked into roles with people where we are always rescuing, fixing, or supporting sometimes at the detriment of ourself. So actually when you do that resetting, I'm looking at that, you can actually see where am I focusing a lot of my attention because sometimes it's actually not enough on ourselves and so much on other people that may not even be helping us in our desperate time of need. And I feel like as soon as we start moving our energy a lot of the time those people will start moving. Either moving and dancing with us or moving further away from us. 


So, yeah. Sometimes it's not as traumatic, I suppose. Ending relationships or friendships as we might think actually when we start out. 


[:

[00:18:00] Hyacinth Myers: Yeah. And that's when we just really reconnect with who we are. 


And I always say this is a time to really sit with ease and grace, find the things that you love. And when you start doing more of those things you love, actually your next steps will be given to you. Because I really do believe the universe works and conspires to support us. I do believe in God as well. So I just think all of that when we're reconnecting our sacred time, our special time, our next steps and our answers are usually given to us, and then it's about us taking that kind of action, that inspired action. 


[:

[00:18:51] Hyacinth Myers: I think actually speaking to women who had been through adversity, but not used, maybe the medical route, because when I was, I'd done a lot of work in obviously overcoming the trauma experience, and I'd done a lot of holistic or alternative therapies, but the, the first thing that was always actually suggested was talking therapy, which for me personally didn't work and I think if I'd have just seen some women who said, okay, there's o, there's not just this way to do it this's other ways than I would've actually probably been there much quicker really, yeah. 


[:

[00:19:41] Hyacinth Myers: I think actually just trying not to be so judgmental, actually, because I think when we talk to each other sometimes a lot of the judgment is there and when you are opening up to somebody, and you get judged, it either can shut you down and slow down your progress. Or it can actually just make you really scared to open up to other people and feeling like almost like you shouldn't be either talking about that maybe you shouldn't be changing maybe you're doing the wrong thing, and all of those. I just think they just put doubts in our mind actually. So just be supportive and nonjudgmental. 


[:

[00:20:28] Hyacinth Myers: It actually means just being able to be my authentic self, actually just being, just taking up space and just being able to be, I dunno, for me, freedom is one of my biggest kind of passions and, and drive and to feel free. So self-expression is about the freedom to be creative and do things out of the box and yeah, try not to be judged. And just take different paths, even if it's different from everybody else. 


[:

[00:20:59] Hyacinth Myers: Yes, actually you can. It is, I am still three quarters of the way through it actually. I've got three more chapters to write. And it's actually about solar alignment, so it is all about the work that I'm doing now, but really my, the kind of inner journey that I've taken from my first book in 2019 to now, because even though it's a three year period, I feel like now I've really stepped fully into my soul's purpose and now I'm ready to share actually the tools and the ways that I've actually done that and, and practical steps for women really to be able to do the same. And I'm happy to say it's actually been published in the US. So that will be my first US published book as well. 


[:

[00:21:55] Hyacinth Myers: They can find me on my website. Perfect timing cuz it was just relaunched yesterday. So that is hyacinthmyers[dot]com. Yeah. So take a look. And everything they need is actually on that website. So yeah, facebook page, your social media, et cetera. 


[:

[00:22:32] Hyacinth Myers: Not really information but my motto, which is actually a quote that came to me after a meditation a good few years ago. And actually I just wanna leave you with that, which is we are not victims of our circumstances. We are sole conscious creators of our future. And just to really remember that. 


[:

[00:23:02] Hyacinth Myers: Thank you. It's been such a pleasure, actually.
