Stay Optimistic- Even When Things Don’t Seem to be Going the Way You Planned (2 minute read)

Hey Live Out Loud Family,

It's been quite a week in the world of entrepreneurship, especially in the short-term rental industry. Despite facing some unexpected challenges, I'm reminded of the importance of staying optimistic in the face of adversity.

Last week, I welcomed three different tenants into my units, each with their own unique experiences. However, two instances tested my patience and resolve.

In one case, a guest disregarded several of my main rules, including no smoking inside the unit. Caught red-handed, they tried to pass off the scent of marijuana as incense, but evidence spoke otherwise. Their disregard for rules extended to parking, resulting in damage to the property and a frustrating dispute over their stay.

The second guest, a holdover from a previous booking, encountered a locked luggage situation. Instead of seeking assistance, they took it upon themselves to break into the door, leaving me with unexpected repair costs.

Navigating these challenges wasn't easy, but it reminded me of the importance of preparation and resilience in the face of unexpected events. While it's never ideal to encounter setbacks, I'm grateful for the lessons learned and the opportunity to address issues head-on.

Despite the hiccups, I'm proud to say that justice prevailed with Airbnb awarding damages for the first guest's actions. As for the unexpected door repair, it served as a reminder of the importance of security measures and the need to remain vigilant in protecting our investments.

As entrepreneurs, we're bound to face hurdles along the way, but it's how we handle them that truly defines our journey. Here's to embracing the challenges, learning from them, and continuing to live out loud in the face of adversity.

With gratitude,

Mechel, Founder Live Out Loud sisterhood

Unlocking Inner-Peace: The Power of Binaural Beats

In our fast-paced world, finding moments of peace and tranquility can feel like an elusive dream. However, there's a powerful tool that's been gaining attention for its ability to help us tap into a state of calm and relaxation: binaural beats.

But what exactly are binaural beats, and how can they benefit you?

At its core, binaural beats are a form of auditory illusion created when two slightly different frequencies are played separately into each ear. These subtle differences in frequencies trigger the brain to perceive a third tone, known as the binaural beat, which corresponds to the mathematical difference between the two original frequencies.

Now, let's break down the brainwave patterns associated with different states of consciousness, and how binaural beats can help us achieve them:

Delta Waves (0.5-4 Hz): Delta waves are associated with deep sleep and the unconscious mind. Listening to binaural beats in the delta frequency range can help promote restorative sleep, enhance rejuvenation, and facilitate deep meditation sessions.

Theta Waves (4-8 Hz): Theta waves are linked to deep relaxation, creativity, and intuition. By listening to binaural beats in the theta frequency range, you can access a state of profound relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance your ability to tap into your subconscious mind.

Alpha Waves (8-14 Hz): Alpha waves are associated with a relaxed and calm state of mind, often experienced during meditation and light relaxation. Binaural beats in the alpha frequency range can help induce a state of tranquility, improve focus and concentration, and enhance creativity.

Beta Waves (14-30 Hz): Beta waves are present when we are awake and alert, engaged in focused attention and cognitive tasks. Binaural beats in the beta frequency range can help sharpen mental clarity, increase energy levels, and promote a sense of motivation and productivity.

Gamma Waves (30-100 Hz): Gamma waves are associated with heightened perception, peak performance, and expanded consciousness. Listening to binaural beats in the gamma frequency range can enhance cognitive function, boost mood, and promote feelings of interconnectedness and spiritual awakening.

Manifestation and Binaural Beats: Beyond stress reduction and relaxation, many people also use binaural beats as a tool for manifestation. By aligning your brainwaves with specific frequencies associated with abundance, creativity, and positivity, you can enhance your ability to attract your desires and manifest your goals. Whether you're visualizing your dream career, envisioning loving relationships, or manifesting financial abundance, incorporating binaural beats into your manifestation practice can amplify your intentions and bring them into alignment with the universe's energetic flow. By combining the power of intention with the resonance of binaural beats, you can accelerate the manifestation process and bring your dreams to fruition more effortlessly. So, the next time you set out to manifest your desires, consider adding binaural beats to your toolkit and watch as the universe conspires to support your intentions.

So how can binaural beats specifically benefit women?

For starters, binaural beats offer a natural and non-invasive way to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. Whether you're juggling a busy career, managing family responsibilities, or simply seeking moments of self-care, incorporating binaural beats into your daily routine can provide a much-needed respite from the chaos of everyday life.

Furthermore, binaural beats can be a valuable tool for meditation and mindfulness practices, helping women cultivate inner peace, clarity, and self-awareness. By tuning into the frequencies that resonate with your desired state of consciousness, you can deepen your meditation practice, quiet the mind, and connect with your inner wisdom.

Additionally, binaural beats can aid in improving sleep quality, which is crucial for women's overall health and well-being. Whether you're struggling with insomnia, experiencing restless nights due to stress or anxiety, or simply looking to enhance the quality of your sleep, incorporating delta and theta frequency binaural beats into your bedtime routine can promote relaxation and facilitate a deeper, more restorative sleep.

In summary, binaural beats offer a powerful yet accessible tool for women to reduce stress, enhance meditation, improve sleep, and cultivate inner peace. By harnessing the innate power of sound and frequency, we can tap into our natural state of balance and harmony, empowering us to live our lives with greater ease, joy, and fulfillment.

So why not give binaural beats a try? Plug in your headphones, press play, and let the soothing sounds guide you on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Plus, stay tuned for our upcoming manifestation binaural beats, designed to amplify your intentions and accelerate your manifestation practice.

The Passion Journal (2 minute read)

I'm Mechel Miller—warrior, dreamer, and the driving force behind the magic you're about to unfold. Welcome to the heartbeat of transformation—the "Passion Journal," your sacred companion for the next 90 days. This journal is more than just pages; it's a reflection of my journey—a journey from the ashes of adversity to the creation of a sanctuary where women like you can discover their power.

About Mechel Miller:

I am the creator of the Live Out Loud Membership Global Community—a vibrant connection of women aged 38-60 from all walks of life. My story took a turn when, at the prime of my life, I faced a near-death experience that crippled me for two years. In the wake of meningitis, I found myself, an accomplished dancer, educator, mother, spouse, mentor, and entrepreneur, unable to do anything for myself. To the world, I was successful, but to myself, I felt like a pitiful waste.

A Catalyst for Change:

In those moments of reflection during my road to recovery, I realized that the life I had been living wasn't truly mine. I had spent the majority of my life proving to everyone that I was generous, giving, and hardworking—yet, I wasn't fulfilled. That realization sparked a revolutionary decision: I was going to "Live Out Loud," no matter what anyone thought of me.

Creating the Live Out Loud (Vibrational) Sisterhood:

Amidst doubters who said I would never walk, dance, or work again, I persevered. I devoured self-help books, sought counsel, and traveled in search of an escape from my reality. It wasn't until I made up my mind to live on my terms that things changed. From the Live Out Loud Methodology, the Vibrational Sisterhood emerged—a community where women like you could share dreams, conquer challenges, and celebrate victories.

The Birth of the "Passion Journal":

With the sisterhood thriving and ShEvolution shaping lives, the need for a companion, a guide to capture the essence of personal transformation, became clear. Enter the "Passion Journal"—your 90-day roadmap to navigate the highs and lows, triumphs, and breakthroughs. It's more than a journal; it's your personal narrative, the stepping stones toward your transformative journey.

Your Transformative Journey:

Now, this "Passion Journal" is your canvas, an extension of my mission—to create a safe space where your journey of empowerment takes flight. Each page is an invitation to embrace your dreams, conquer challenges, and celebrate victories. Consider this journal your companion, your friend, and a piece of the community I've poured my heart into.

Your Story Unfolds:

You've likely faced challenges, maybe even tried everything with no success. That's why I developed the “Live Out Loud” methodology—to help you go from failure to triumph. To help you vibrate at such a high frequency that you attract the things you want in your life.
