What's up, radiant icons and welcome back to Dare To Be

2

: 00:00:09

Iconic, the podcast made for icons

who are daring to be themselves.

3

: 00:00:15

I'm your host, Amanda Paolicelli,

and for today's tea time sesh, we are

4

: 00:00:20

loving ourselves first, radiant icons.

5

: 00:00:22

We are loving ourselves out loud

with a little guided meditation.

6

: 00:00:28

Before we get into that radiant

icons, I have a very iconic

7

: 00:00:32

announcement that I truly cannot

wait to spill the tea on about.

8

: 00:00:38

So without further ado, I'm so excited

to announce that Dare To Be Iconic's

9

: 00:00:45

Iconic Behavior Masterclass series

is officially back for: 2026

10

: 00:00:52

we're kicking it off with a banger.

11

: 00:00:54

We're kicking it off with one of my

most requested topics, and you guys,

12

: 00:01:00

it's a dare to be iconic pillar.

13

: 00:01:02

Our first masterclass of 2026 is "Break

Up With The Past, Fall In Love With

14

: 00:01:08

The Future" because it is time to turn

your pain into power, radiant icons.

15

: 00:01:14

And on March 22nd at 1:30 PM Eastern,

we are going to be doing that together.

16

: 00:01:22

We are going to be releasing

old stories and narratives.

17

: 00:01:25

We are going to reconnect with our truest

selves, and we are going to step into

18

: 00:01:31

our iconic future boldly and fearlessly.

19

: 00:01:36

I am truly so excited

for this masterclass.

20

: 00:01:39

This is a subject that is so close to

my heart, as you guys know, especially

21

: 00:01:44

with what I have spoken about in the last

couple of tea time sessions recently.

22

: 00:01:51

I mean, this concept of turning

your pain into power is the core

23

: 00:01:55

foundational pillar of dare to be iconic.

24

: 00:01:59

If I didn't take that pain from

that breakup and turn it into this

25

: 00:02:03

power that is now dare to be iconic.

26

: 00:02:06

Like we would not be here today

with this mic and headphones.

27

: 00:02:09

and Everything that dare

to be iconic has become.

28

: 00:02:12

I'm so excited to spill the tea

and dive into this together.

29

: 00:02:18

I want to see you there, radiant

icons, so make sure to secure your

30

: 00:02:22

under the empowerment events section.

32

33

: 00:02:32

So now with all of that out of the

way, oh my God, I'm so excited.

34

: 00:02:38

Let's get to that guided

meditation, shall we?

35

: 00:02:41

Are you ready for your tea time

sesh, because it's starting now.

36

: 00:02:45

All right, radiant icons.

37

: 00:02:47

Find a comfortable position whether

you're sitting or lying down.

38

: 00:02:52

Close your eyes and take a slow,

deep breath in and exhale fully.

39

: 00:02:59

Let's do that again, radiant icon.

40

: 00:03:01

Inhale feeling your chest and

belly expand and exhale releasing

41

: 00:03:06

tension, releasing doubt.

42

: 00:03:09

Feel the weight of the day melts

away with each breath, allow yourself

43

: 00:03:15

to simply be here in this moment.

44

: 00:03:20

Giving yourself permission to

feel, to release, and to heal.

45

: 00:03:27

Now, bring to mind any pain you

might be holding, heartbreak,

46

: 00:03:31

disappointment, or self-doubt.

47

: 00:03:33

Don't try to push it away.

48

: 00:03:35

Instead, I want you to visualize it.

49

: 00:03:39

Visualize it as a small,

heavy stone in your hands.

50

: 00:03:44

Feel its weight.

51

: 00:03:46

Notice any tension or emotions that arise.

52

: 00:03:50

This is your pain, your

truth, and it's valid.

53

: 00:03:56

Breathe into it, and as you

inhale, gather that energy .As

54

: 00:04:02

you exhale, know that you

are safe, you are strong.

55

: 00:04:07

Now imagine a warm, glowing

light above your head.

56

: 00:04:11

This light is your power, your inner

strength, resilience, and self-love.

57

: 00:04:17

As you breathe in, feel it flowing

down from the top of your head,

58

: 00:04:22

filling your body surrounding

the stone of pain in your hands.

59

: 00:04:27

With every inhale, this

light grows brighter.

60

: 00:04:30

With every exhale, it transforms

the weight of the stone, the

61

: 00:04:34

hurt, the disappointment into

power, clarity, and courage.

62

: 00:04:42

Say to yourself quietly, I honor my pain.

63

: 00:04:46

I transform it into strength.

64

: 00:04:49

I am powerful.

65

: 00:04:51

I am enough.

66

: 00:04:52

I'm radiant.

67

: 00:04:54

Repeat it with me.

68

: 00:04:56

I am powerful.

69

: 00:04:58

I am enough.

70

: 00:04:59

I am radiant.

71

: 00:05:01

Let your heart feel it.

72

: 00:05:06

Visualize yourself standing tall,

holding the light of your newfound power.

73

: 00:05:12

The stone of pain is still there.

74

: 00:05:15

But it has been reshaped, no longer

heavy, no longer controlling you.

75

: 00:05:20

It is part of your growth, part of your

story, part of the icon you are becoming.

76

: 00:05:28

Take a deep breath in radiant

icon and exhale, feeling

77

: 00:05:32

grounded, strong, and radiant.

78

: 00:05:36

When you're ready, slowly open your eyes.

79

: 00:05:40

Carry this feeling of strength

and empowerment with you.

80

: 00:05:44

Not just today, but every day.

81

: 00:05:49

Remember, radiant icons,.

82

: 00:05:51

Your pain does not define you,

but what you do with it does.

83

Fashionably Single Ad: Welcome to the

Fashionably Single Podcast, where single

84

: 00:06:04

life meets real talk, hosted by Hannah.

85

: 00:06:06

This guy is sitting next to me and

this was like a no shoe kind of house,

86

: 00:06:10

so he had to take his shoes off.

87

: 00:06:11

They were playing cards, drinking, and

then all of a sudden he starts rubbing his

88

: 00:06:16

foot on my leg and her co-host Jessica.

89

: 00:06:18

So he leaves me at the table, he gets

his suit, he goes back to his car.

90

: 00:06:22

I'm thinking he's

dipping out on this date.

91

: 00:06:24

I just told him I don't want to marry

him and I won't let him kill me.

92

: 00:06:27

So two millennials in

Austin, Texas, navigating.

93

: 00:06:31

Independence and becoming your best

self with confidence and style.

94

: 00:06:35
