BLBW Ep #15: John Steven Cisneros: Breaking Free From a Segmented Life, Redemption, Quilted Spirituality, and The Ultimate Kindness

In this episode, I have a conversation with one of my former bosses— from 17 years ago.  John Cisneros was the Catholic principal at St. Austin Catholic School where I was a  non-catholic teacher and technology coordinator. Neither of us is the same person we were back then.

Listen in to the story of leaving – or getting tossed out of – an empty and completely segmented life – and the journey through redemption to the ultimate kindness.  

John’s story reminds us that authentic living can’t be done while we shut a part of ourselves off due to pride or shame and that even with great loss and mistake, redemption and a new life await, and that kindness is the ultimate religion. 

 

John Steven Cisneros, Ph.D.  specializes in assisting doctoral students through their dissertation journey.He engages them on their journey as needed.He is also prepared to provide services from proposal preparation to successful dissertation final defense. His clients represent colleges and universities from around the country.

  • I’ve been working a bit more than usual the last 6 weeks. It was nice to take some mental time off yesterday and today... and my husband had planned an evening out in the hill country at a kick ass ranch.... views for miles, stunning art and architecture. A bit of wine and food, too. His new novella, Hollywood Texas, is set in the Texas hill country. I think we are both daydreaming for a mini ranch and space in the hill country these days. You know I’m down with a rescue ranch. Love day dreaming AND ordinary life with you @billy_flan ♥️
  • I have three questions to help you with what I’m calling “power up.” 1. WHERE can you power up? 2. Where are you bullshitting yourself? Where can you lovingly call bullshit so that you can power up? 3. Where have your desires flatlined? All three of these questions go together. How do I know? Because spirit gave all three of these questions to me. So I want you to check-in and have a lovingly honest conversation. Where are you half-assing things? Where are you on low power? Where could you be brighter, and not out of obligation, but knowing that you’re dimming your light when it really is asking to be bold? YOU are the only one who can answer these questions. And if you feel called, I'd love you to share your thoughts and responses to these questions with us in the comments.
  • What's up in your world today? How's your work? How's your life? How's your heart? Message me to let me know!
  • Allow me to share some goodness with you. You may know by now that inside Soul-Full Success (my live coaching membership) we have fabulous weekly calls where we share all things life and biz. Well this week we talked about 3 big lessons I want to share with you. These lessons are around: 1. Identity - does your identity as a business owner match up with how you are believing, thinking, and doing? 2. Knowing Your 3 - I’ve talked about this before on the podcast, but what are your 3 front facing activities that keep you connected to your people and business? 3. Investing in Implementation - it’s easy for us to continue buying courses, coaches and formulas, but I challenge you to invest in actual implementation. I dive into more of each of these lessons on the podcast to help you gain some of the insights my Soulies inside Soul-Full Success gained too. So enjoy this new episode (link in bio!) and then let me know how these three lessons hit you...
  • After a win, do you immediately NEXT? Or do you pause to let it sink in and celebrate? I often catch myself NeXTING. And taking some time to breathe in celebration and appreciation for our creations is sacred. I had a big, fun, connected, and prosperous October and I immediately caught myself NEXTING because this week I’m at a conference on selling. My insight from all the think big and go big in the room is: I’m doubling down on slow down to speed up. Spend time playing and celebrating. The laughter and relaxation is just as prosperous as big sales. I’m appreciating what I have and will crew are again when it is time 💛. What are you celebrating today?
  • "Allison is funny and grounded with common day to day situations that can be used in any business. Highly recommend following." Y'all I just LOVE the reviews you leave me! Thank you! I love sharing with you on the podcast and love that you are enjoying it too. And if you are new here and want to see why everyone thinks I'm funny, head on over to the podcast link in my bio!
  • It's easy to put meditation and reflection on the back burner when everything is going well. But your spiritual and emotional practice- your journaling, your mediation time, your reading time, whatever it is you do, that’s what fuels your front facing strategies, steps, and connections. That’s what helps you get in alignment. AND THEN you go do your work. So this is your loving reminder to check in and see what your spirit needs to get full so you can execute your business day and GO DO THAT! And you know I'd love to hear from y'all what it is your soul needs today in the comments!
  • "Yikes! Someone might my see my posts and be bothered.” Over the years, I’ve come to notice that one of the biggest issues my clients have is around visibility- especially on social media. We think, "but what if someone sees me?!" Is this you? Well, the reality is, when you sit and hold on to your doubt and you stop your visibility, you are taking away your gift that you have to give to other people. So on the podcast today I want to tell you a story of visibility, $47,000, and why you don’t get paid for being behind the scenes. I also want to share with you how you can quit believing the worst stories if you DO show yourself and how you can go from doubt to confidence around this. So take a listen to the episode (link in bio) and remember: this is your life, your dream, your business, your personality. When you sit in your doubt and hide, you are hoarding the gift that you are here to give. And of course, after you’ve listened, I’d love to know if this resonated.
