I'm your host, Jill Hart, the coach's alchemist, on a mission to help coaches and entrepreneurs amplify their voice, monetize their mission and get visible

00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:43.939

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: leveraging podcasts and the huge audience. We have over on the Gnostic TV network. Today we are chatting with Lauren G. Foster, worker of everyday magic, guiding midlife women on their ancestral path to health, happiness and freedom. Welcome to the show

00:00:44.350 --> 00:00:44.680

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: brain!

00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:45.700

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Have you here, Lauren?

00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:51.370

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Thank you, Jill, so much for having me. I'm absolutely thrilled and already having fun talking with you.

00:00:51.370 --> 00:00:52.080

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.

00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:59.549

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And and you're in a great place right now, and I appreciate you staying up till 9 30 to have this conversation with me.

00:01:00.190 --> 00:01:04.000

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Totally my pleasure. I'm very, very happy to be here.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.199

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Alright. So I'm gonna ask you the big question, are you ready.

00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:08.470

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: I'm ready.

00:01:08.470 --> 00:01:14.760

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: What's the most significant thing in your opinion, as individuals, we can do to make an impact on how the world is going.

00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:29.009

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: If you ask me this a different day, I will have a different answer. But today my answer is to stop measuring success by material things, and

00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:36.429

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: begin to measure it by the amount of love and compassion, and kindness and joy

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:38.200

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: you have in your life.

00:01:38.330 --> 00:01:46.010

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: I am. If if I could go on just a little bit longer here. This is a significant day in Italy. It's their Independence Day.

00:01:46.654 --> 00:01:53.790

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Which came about at the end of World War 2. So it's young. Their their freedom is still young and fresh, and

00:01:53.900 --> 00:02:03.530

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: it was also when women 1st were able to vote, and I think that every single citizen of Bologna was out on the streets today. It was

00:02:03.810 --> 00:02:06.390

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: jam packed every surface, I mean

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:26.530

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: just jam packed and singing at the top of their lungs and jumping up and down, and it was. I usually don't like to be in big crowds, like people rushing to work, and things like that, just like, get me out of here! And I loved every second of it. It was just so full of joy

00:02:26.660 --> 00:02:33.660

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and celebration, and if we had more moments like that that represented what success means.

00:02:34.170 --> 00:02:36.649

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: World would switch itself around pretty quickly.

00:02:37.590 --> 00:02:49.189

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I think that's very true. I was listening to somebody a while back, and they were talking about ideas for giving gifts in terms of giving experiences rather than things

00:02:49.320 --> 00:02:52.780

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: which I think kind of blends into what

00:02:52.950 --> 00:03:00.680

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: the point that you're making that experiences are are far more valuable to us as human beings than stuff.

00:03:01.090 --> 00:03:01.670

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Yeah.

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:12.230

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: yeah, I agree. And and the second layer of that is really getting to know one another and knowing what someone really wants, I mean, what what if you

00:03:12.801 --> 00:03:18.679

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: gave an afternoon of babysitting to your friend, who just wanted an afternoon to herself?

00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:24.640

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: I mean, what a gift, you know, and a small thing, a few hours of your time, but

00:03:25.070 --> 00:03:30.100

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: what she can do with that free time on her own to do whatever she wants.

00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.899

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: To reconnect with herself, and often, you know.

00:03:36.200 --> 00:03:45.719

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'm going to travel in a different direction here for just a minute, but it used to be that we lived in communities, and we all knew each other. And you raised your kids. But

00:03:46.550 --> 00:03:56.419

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you know, if your kids were misbehaving, the person down the street is going to discipline them just as fast as you you will, or you will do the same for their kids that are playing in your yard

00:03:56.830 --> 00:04:07.030

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: houses were open, moms were engaged. They helped each other. And you know, if you needed an afternoon off, somebody on the street was going to take your kids in and give you a break.

00:04:07.630 --> 00:04:21.419

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: But now it's like everybody has to be the best at everything. I have to be the best mom and the best girlfriend, and the best wife, and the best business person, and the best everything. And it's just so exhausting

00:04:21.570 --> 00:04:24.029

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: because nobody is all of that.

00:04:24.130 --> 00:04:29.790

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And the 80 s. Were the worst for that. I think young women in the eighties. It was really tough.

00:04:30.050 --> 00:04:39.610

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: because you were expected to be everything for everybody, and you know it didn't matter what you were feeling, or your opinions or your thoughts. You just had to do it.

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:54.880

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: And those of us who are in the twenties in the eighties got that imprinted on us, and are, you know, many of us are still trying to shed that and trying to figure out a different way. And that's that's what my work is all about. So

00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.056

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Oh, I guess I should wait for a question.

00:04:59.900 --> 00:05:03.059

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Tell us about it. We're just having a conversation.

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:03.529

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: I've got you.

00:05:03.530 --> 00:05:05.030

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Just hand on me to ask questions.

00:05:05.030 --> 00:05:32.769

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: So I will be turning 60 in August on my next birthday, and last year I decided to sell or give away everything and begin traveling the world and just seeing all of the things that I want to see, and having the experiences, and mainly to inform my work, because I lived as a hermit in a cabin in the mountains for 10 years before that.

00:05:32.950 --> 00:05:43.580

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: And you know I was building this business and doing this work with women and and people women and doing this business with people.

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.380

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: usually women.

00:05:46.050 --> 00:05:46.760

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Okay.

00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:50.433

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: That sounded like I was implying that men aren't people.

00:05:51.920 --> 00:06:21.169

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: or that women aren't, or something like that. But it it began to be really clear to me that I was getting out of touch. I was living in this world that was so perfect because there was. There were, you know, when there aren't other humans around, your challenges are much less. It's very easy to be serene. And zen when you live with dogs and cats and squirrels and trees right? So I decided to go out on this this adventure around the globe to see how women are

00:06:21.310 --> 00:06:29.650

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: connecting with themselves and connecting with spirit and connecting with one another and engaging with life. And, you know, trying to find the magic

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:38.909

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and exploring the ways that are lost because we came in, and rubber stamped everything with the way we

00:06:39.150 --> 00:06:43.626

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: elite white Christian people decided the world should be

00:06:44.470 --> 00:06:59.360

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: not not to. I really tried hard not to disrespect any faith, path, or anything like that. But it's just a fact that colonization happens everywhere, and the indigenous people and their traditions are the ones that suffer. And I.

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.220

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, for sure!

00:07:00.350 --> 00:07:03.580

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Yeah, there's so much wisdom in those ancient teachings.

00:07:03.690 --> 00:07:06.380

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and that's part of what I'm exploring.

00:07:06.510 --> 00:07:12.640

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: But the root of my message is that not. Every woman wants to sell everything and travel the world.

00:07:12.870 --> 00:07:18.930

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: So my version of freedom doesn't look like everyone's. But every woman has

00:07:19.590 --> 00:07:25.199

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: her version of of freedom of being able to be fully herself.

00:07:25.340 --> 00:07:32.800

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: do the things that she wants to do, and express herself the way that she feels called to, and

00:07:33.730 --> 00:07:39.910

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: that's my my heart. Joy is helping her find that path.

00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:43.580

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and fall back in love with her body, and.

00:07:43.690 --> 00:07:51.533

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: you know, have the confidence and the courage to go after the things that that she wants, and to stand up and ask for

00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.680

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: life to give her her heart's desire. So.

00:07:56.810 --> 00:08:02.780

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love that. I love that for women, because especially women in our age group that

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:12.789

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: but went through a time where we were told that we were supposed to look a certain way, and that way was generally

00:08:13.960 --> 00:08:15.650

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: like little boys.

00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:19.620

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Full-grown women were expected to look like young men.

00:08:20.430 --> 00:08:26.209

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I know it sounds weird, but the the whole twiggy thing. You didn't have a body. You were just

00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:33.530

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: if you had boobs that they they were usually implanted in you because you had no body fat and

00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.440

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and expected to do all the things.

00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:45.049

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And it was just not a. It's not a healthy way to to move into womanhood.

00:08:45.360 --> 00:09:11.539

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and there were a lot of women who were just like told not to have children and not to embrace being a parent. And it's not that being a parent or being a mother is like the be all and end all for women, because it's not. I know a lot of women who never wanted to have children, and they didn't, and they have experienced amazing lives. But the whole idea of you have to conform. You have to like.

00:09:11.830 --> 00:09:16.130

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you have to have a mission, and you have to know what it is when you're 20.

00:09:16.630 --> 00:09:18.990

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Is this just like, why.

00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:30.499

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: why did we do that to these people. And then, as you, we've aged, and we have developed bodies, and our bodies are, you know, lots of different shapes, and

00:09:31.050 --> 00:09:35.070

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: they're healthy bodies. I mean, I have perfectly healthy body and.

00:09:35.270 --> 00:09:48.629

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: They're healthy bodies. But a lot of us. Yeah, that. So that that's a whole other subject. But yeah, being asked to force our bodies into some ideal of the standard of beauty that's

00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:54.559

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: popular at the time, right? And getting butt implants or.

00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:09.070

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Or their lip thing, or you know, just like all of these things that women have done to their bodies, to mutilate them, to make them fit some standard of look that you know it's like, why.

00:10:09.690 --> 00:10:14.340

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Yeah, I I was in that trap. So up until

00:10:14.780 --> 00:10:18.300

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: up until my late forties, I was still.

00:10:18.520 --> 00:10:22.640

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: you know, dieting. And well, you know, I actually kind of

00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:43.289

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: fell into a healthier lifestyle, as far as food goes, kind of happily by accident, but still critical of my body, still trying to make it into a certain shape a certain size. I you know I had plastic surgery in my thirties, and you know a whole lifetime of

00:10:43.490 --> 00:10:46.579

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: not being friends with this magical

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.490

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: suit that I get to wear around on the earth.

00:10:50.960 --> 00:11:04.070

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. And I was laughing with my sister the other day about, you know, trying to get back to some ideal weight that we were when we were really young. She's like, well, yeah, I want to get back to one pound 6 ounces.

00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:17.620

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Why not? It's an arbitrary number, just like whatever that number was that you weren't happy with at the time, anyway, when you were in your twenties. This is like

00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:19.970

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: just crazy.

00:11:20.510 --> 00:11:46.940

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Yeah, yeah. And so that so many things that so many arbitrary outside of us, factors that we use to judge our worth, to judge our beauty, to judge ourselves in a thousand different ways, that that have no validity, and it coming back to the truth that we are innately worthy and sovereign and amazing and brilliant each and every one of us. That's

00:11:47.110 --> 00:11:55.370

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: that's that's that's my answer to how we have the biggest impact on the world is for all women to be empowered.

00:11:56.640 --> 00:12:10.209

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, and to love themselves, and to just be who they are. If you're loud and brash, be loud and brash, if you're quiet and withdrawn. Be quiet and withdrawn

00:12:10.520 --> 00:12:11.975

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: if you're like.

00:12:13.420 --> 00:12:18.879

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: if you want to help people help people. But if you feel like you have to help people

00:12:19.630 --> 00:12:20.630

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: stop it.

00:12:21.830 --> 00:12:22.610

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: It is

00:12:22.610 --> 00:12:51.060

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: so obligations and responsibilities and boxes that we try to fit ourselves in our whole lives, and at some point it almost becomes that we can't even tell we're like I don't even I don't even know which parts of myself I lost and abandoned in favor of trying to be this. And so it's a it's. It's kind of a battle. It's kind of a struggle to unshovel and get down through all of those layers of

00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:58.829

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: society that we've put on top of ourselves and get back to the heart of who we are. But it's a journey that's so worth it.

00:12:59.050 --> 00:13:06.730

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: And yeah, and and yeah, it's it's what I want. It's what I want for all of us.

00:13:07.540 --> 00:13:21.610

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So how did you start the traveling portion of your experience? You started to talk about that a little bit. There was a point where you were living on your own. What precipitated the going out and living by yourself.

100

00:13:23.876 --> 00:13:25.449

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Well, so

101

00:13:26.770 --> 00:13:55.320

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: okay, let's see, let's see if I can, how quickly I can sum up my life as an early teen. I was in love with God and the Church, and wanted to be a missionary as a late teen I got different messages. Oh, you're a sinner! Oh, your body's bad. Oh, your desire for sex and experimentation and life is bad, and oh, your makeup is going to make somebody lust. And so I got it into my head that I wasn't worthy of God. So I went off and lived the next few decades of my life.

102

00:13:55.460 --> 00:14:01.230

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: spiritless and disconnected, and feeling unworthy. And you know, doing all the things

103

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.449

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: numbing with drugs and alcohol, not blah blah blah blah

104

00:14:06.170 --> 00:14:14.919

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: And when I was 42, I had an accidental pregnancy which I was actually happy about, because I thought that

105

00:14:15.070 --> 00:14:22.809

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: that it's life didn't work out, that I'm going to have kids. But maybe but I had a miscarriage, and so that was kind of a

106

00:14:23.170 --> 00:14:31.079

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: yet another self-sabotage crash and burn point in my life. I lost my cushy job because I had a dui

107

00:14:31.676 --> 00:14:48.700

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: so I sold everything. Do you see the pattern? I sold everything, and and decided to head off to Guatemala and just go on sabbatical and and do what I'm doing now. But very quickly. My drug addicted brother.

108

00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:58.489

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: my mother, who's elderly and in bad health, and basically my family said, you're needed. Come home. So I cut that short and came home and

109

00:14:59.310 --> 00:15:04.440

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: bought a day. Spa. The economy crashed unbeknownst to me while I was off

110

00:15:04.570 --> 00:15:14.700

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: in Guatemala, and I bought a day Spa, and the economy could not support a day. Spa. So by 2010 I was bankrupt. I was sleeping on my sister's couch.

111

00:15:14.810 --> 00:15:32.510

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and my mom was in a state run nursing home because nobody could afford to help her pay for it. My brother died from his disease, anyway. So I've been using the law of attraction and mind over matter and all these things to try to fix everybody. And I didn't fix anyone.

112

00:15:32.650 --> 00:15:34.170

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and but I

113

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:40.209

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: depleted my own resources and was left with nothing. And at that point I'm like, you know what

114

00:15:40.950 --> 00:16:01.650

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: I'm going to just give everybody over to their own power, and trust that they can figure it out, and I'm going to get take care of myself. And so I headed off into the mountains of East Tennessee, and eventually landed in a little cabin and spent 10 years there, and it didn't really mean for it to be 10 years. But that's how it worked out, and and that was the amount of time I needed to

115

00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:06.950

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: come back to myself and figure out who I am, and you know, shed all of those layers of

116

00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:12.099

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: obligation and responsibility, and conforming, and all of that, and

117

00:16:12.650 --> 00:16:15.300

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and be equipped to come back out in the world again.

118

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:20.960

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And now you're traveling the world. You've got so many cool things lined up.

119

00:16:21.140 --> 00:16:24.759

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Yeah, I've I've been to 11 countries already.

120

00:16:26.280 --> 00:16:55.999

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and you know my intention is to keep traveling until I fall in love with something or someone or some place. But at the same time a picture is forming in my mind of the little spiritual center that I want to create somewhere on this beautiful planet, and you know the service that I want to do, and, you know, bring women from all over the globe to experience nature and real food, and getting in touch with their bodies and getting in touch with their spirits, and, you know.

121

00:16:56.520 --> 00:17:00.090

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: emerging with a better handle on their dreams.

122

00:17:01.490 --> 00:17:07.570

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love that. I'm over here thinking there's somebody that I need to connect you with in us in New Zealand.

123

00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:09.340

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Okay, do it.

124

00:17:09.349 --> 00:17:11.239

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Don't let me forget to tell you.

125

00:17:11.762 --> 00:17:16.679

138

00:18:26.850 --> 00:18:38.129

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: meet and spend time with the indigenous people of New Zealand, and that's 1 of the reasons that I wanted to go to New Zealand is because they're one of the countries that still

139

00:18:38.300 --> 00:18:41.409

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: their indigenous people still have a presence and a voice.

140

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: I think I was gonna say something, but it's gone from my head. That's what happens. At 9, 58.

143

00:19:02.870 --> 00:19:03.550

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Well.

144

00:19:03.550 --> 00:19:13.440

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'll ask you the question, then how what are you? How are you coaching people, and and how does all of that look? Is it like one on one? Is it group? Is it just, you know? How does it look.

145

00:19:13.590 --> 00:19:24.839

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: Currently, I am working towards a group coaching program and kind of letting that evolve as like a sacred circle. My current program is one on one. I like to call it a circle of 2,

146

00:19:25.260 --> 00:19:26.210

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: right?

147

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:41.060

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: We it's and it's called the ancestral path, because it is about the ancestral way of being with your body. The primal lifestyle of you know how you eat and how you move, and intuition

148

00:19:41.410 --> 00:19:47.290

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: with your body, and also ancient practices like magic.

149

00:19:47.300 --> 00:19:59.069

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: and being in touch with the land and being grounded in your own energy and the wisdom of our ancestors that we've let go. We started thinking

150

00:19:59.070 --> 00:20:19.109

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: up here, and everything below the earth is not respected. Our bodies are not respected, so the ancestral path brings all of that back together, and it incorporates all the all of the accumulation of the things that I've studied. I'm I studied with Mary Morrissey as a life mastery, consultant and dream coach, and

151

00:20:19.190 --> 00:20:28.649

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: I'm a primal health coach, and I'm a certified meditation teacher. And you know I'm in the study of Qigong. And so I have all of these different

152

00:20:28.750 --> 00:20:33.200

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: aspects that I've studied and incorporated. And they're all

153

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:40.569

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: tools that we get to use in in this sacred circle. That's either a 6 week or a 12 week program, depending on

154

00:20:41.710 --> 00:20:43.480

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: how much you want to

155

00:20:44.230 --> 00:20:53.069

Lauren Gabrielle Foster: look ahead and how fast you want to go. And it's a a really lovely, beautiful, very custom program.
