Episode 206: How To Manifest Your Own Magic, Find Humanity In The Business World, And Build Your Dream Community

If you think your life isn’t full of little miracles, you might not be paying attention. The world is full of magic, if only we paused to notice it. And the more we recognize everyday magic and meet it half way, the more we receive it.



If you think your life isn’t full of little miracles, you might not be paying attention. The world is full of magic, if only we paused to notice it. And the more we recognize everyday magic and meet it half way, the more we receive it.

I’m joined today by my dear friend Sophia Bentaher, one of the most magical souls I’ve met, who has developed a potent recipe for creating community, connecting beyond the robotic tendencies of corporations and customer service protocols, and manifesting the things we want.

Sophia is a producer, talent manager to Spoken Word Artist IN-Q, a creative, a master baker, and a free spirit who has carved out her own unconventional path while living across multiple countries.

Join us as we chat about:

  • How Sophia calls magic into her life and manifests what she desires (from cars to romance)

  • Why luck has nothing to do with it

  • The cycle of generosity

  • Practicing gratitude and noticing the good

  • Getting present with journaling and meditation

  • Creating human connections in the workplace

  • The power of finding humanity and authenticity in every situation

  • Sophia’s tricks for cultivating community and friendship through curiosity

Episode 110: How To Be More Compassionate Towards Yourself And Others

We humans are social creatures, we thrive on community and connection. But in these times of social media comparison and cancel culture, it can feel like we’ve lost sight of something vital — compassion. With mean girls dominating the news cycle, we thought this would be the perfect time to get deep and teach ourselves a lesson on the importance of compassion, how to give it to others and most importantly, how to give it to ourselves.

At its core, compassion is about putting aside judgment and making an effort to understand the struggles within ourselves and others. It helps us create meaningful connections, build healthy relationships, and develop emotional intelligence, which coincidentally all make for a well-adjusted adult! We’re all a lot more similar than we are different so let’s get positive (but not in a toxic way we promise).

Tune in as we chat about:

  • What compassion actually means

  • The difference between pity, sympathy, empathy and compassion

  • The importance of finding similarities with others

  • How assuming positive intent can shift your mindset

  • Why we should validate someone before trying to find solutions

  • How to hold space for someone's pain

  • Using the "RAIN" method to cultivate self-compassion

  • Gill's favourite Loving-Kindness mediation for next-level compassion

We hope this episode helps you have more compassion for the people in your life, but most importantly, for yourself.
