Leadership Starts With The Inner Work With Raquel Vasallo

Going Beyond with Randi Zinn

I’m so excited to welcome today’s guest, #1 Best-Selling Author of Spiritual Seductress: The High-Powered Women’s Guide to Devour the World through Spiritual Guidance, Preeminent Spiritual Advisor and Feminine Leadership Trendsetter, Raquel Vasallo. Through her belief that each one of us is on Earth for a unique reason, Raquel helps female visionaries, leaders and changemakers work on first healing themselves - whether it’s a change in mindset or growing from past traumas - by shifting their energy in order to step into their higher purpose and truly enact change in the world (3:19).

Raquel’s story has a fascinating parallel to how COVID has reshaped so many of our lives by simply allowing us to stop and focus on what matters. She realized she was meant to do the work she does following a near-death experience in 2008. She was hit by a car in NYC and spent months in recovery, detoxing her body from mercury poisoning, while also reshaping her mental focus to look more internal rather than relying on outside influences to shape her decisions (7:20).

Raquel then teaches us that part of healing and changing our mindset comes with first letting go of the divine masculine paradigms we believe are vital for high achievement (force, control and competition) and instead harnessing more of our feminine traits, like flow and creativity. Once we’ve mastered these divine feminine qualities, we can then tap back into the masculine qualities that help us put our purpose into action (17.41).

Finally, Raquel advises on the importance of making personal time for ourselves before leaving us with two tangible steps we can all take to start our journey of stepping into our higher purpose: (1) acknowledge yourself and something positive that YOU made happen, and (2) write down what you’re grateful for each day.
