Sydney Campos Interview Transcript

 

 

Nancy Rush:

Welcome, Sydney. We're super excited to have you here. I love your topic, as I mentioned earlier, which we're going to be talking about the future of leadership, business and planetary regeneration and how they all interconnect. I can't wait to dive into it. But before I do that, let me read your bio so that everybody knows who you are. 

Sydney is a visionary systems architect, master psychic energy healer, and bestselling author devoted to catalyzing transformation across every level: soul, system, and strategy. A three-time founder and master facilitator, she has guided thousands of leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs in embodying multidimensional mastery, aligned innovation, and soul-led leadership. I love that. 

Sydney has raised over one million dollars for impact ventures and trained more than one hundred intuitive facilitators in her Soul Source methodology. She's the author of two globally celebrated books and has curated over one hundred transformational retreats and events worldwide. Today, she advises visionary founders and funds at the leading edge of regeneration, coherence and energetic intelligence, co-creating the future of leadership and planetary healing. 

That's amazing. I love your background. That's so fantastic. And I love how you weave all of the planetary regeneration into the strategy and the practical aspects of business. So glad to have you here. 

Sydney Campos:

Thank you so much. It's a pleasure to be here. And I'm really honored to be a part of this group that you've curated and that's really providing some great examples of what is possible as we really lead into the future of business and all of the new possibilities emerging. 

Nancy Rush:

Exactly. So one thing I thought we'd start by just talking about soul strategy, but really in terms of the future of leadership and planetary regeneration. I'm curious if you would explain that a little bit to me so that our viewers understand the perspective and how you're thinking about these aspects and interweaving them from the context of being in business. 

Sydney Campos: 

Well, first I love business as a vehicle for personal development and leadership development. There's nothing like starting your own business to really understand who you are and what might be in the way of you really actualizing your potential. So I've always loved working in entrepreneurship and with visionary leaders that are here to create the future. 

Usually in that kind of resonance, those who are here to create something new, there's an element of service and wanting to create positive shift for the world, positive transformation in our infrastructure and ourselves and community. 

When I use the term planetary regeneration, it implies this invitation to regenerate, recalibrate, rebuild, recode, build the new systems that support a thriving way of living and being and relating. What I found through my own path is we can't do that until we recalibrate ourselves. We can't really see new ideas and new ways of collaborating. And we can't really effectively collaborate until we develop the capacities within ourselves to effectively listen to each other, to ourselves, to our intuition, to the planet and to the collectives that we're here to serve. Otherwise, we're just building the same broken systems that go in circles. 

So regeneration is, I would say, a personal and collective invitation to recalibrate ourselves to more of what we truly value. 

Nancy Rush:

I love that you talk about this, because to me, it's this idea of not really approaching business in a traditional way. So first and foremost, the goal is to be of service, which I think many of us got into business - I know I certainly did - as a desire to serve in a really powerful way. But trying to do it through the traditional methods or the three-dimensional versions of business, if you will, felt kind of icky to me. It felt uncomfortable. 

And it wasn't until I started to step more into this idea of, like you said, this personal calibration, but then also listening and treating the business as a living entity, and sourcing that guidance there, following intuition, which we're going to talk a little bit about too. Really just opening the field to so much more than this rigid way of doing business. 

So I'm curious. In your work with people, what have you experienced in terms of people changing the mental state, if you will, or their intention about really coming into co-creating from a business perspective in a very intentional way that really transcends the old methods and methodologies? Does that make sense what I'm asking? 

Sydney Campos:

Yeah, there's a lot of layers. I get it. That usually is the case when we're navigating new paradigms. We are challenged to articulate and use really simple, clear language. I love this practice of deconstructing all these terminologies. There's a way of communicating about all these new things in a way that can be felt, it's like a felt resonance, it's simple. 

A lot of what we're talking about - intuition, presence, energy mastery, authenticity - they're quite simple constructs. And it's actually, you'll find people really craving more of all these things. Everybody, especially in this moment of massive awakening, we're all getting blasted open. We're all getting hit with more energy from the planet, our bodies, we're all becoming more sensitive, sensitized. 

And it's a beautiful time to get really honest about who we are and what we're here for. And it's very vulnerable and it can be scary also. We require support and community and collaboration. 

So I see this taking shape in businesses all over the spectrum of small to medium sized enterprises to large corporations, where it's becoming more normalized to talk about things like mental health, emotional intelligence, collaboration, capacity building, or upskilling for empathy. 

My last company last year was a startup building an AI co-pilot to train managers through behavior science with skills for empathy and leadership and listening and just ways to build more trust, especially in the age of technological acceleration that's unlike anything we've ever seen. We're really brought to terms with our humanity and what are the true capacities of our human leadership that technology will never replace, that we must really refine and fully step into and take more responsibility for. 

And so I've been in the frontier of this conversation for many years, and it's been exciting to see really in the last two to three years, I think really coming out of the pandemic, people are just more open now because we went through such a huge collective trauma with isolation and just coming to terms with more of what really matters. People were forced to sit still for the first time in a long time and really be with their families and come home in a way to why are we here and what are we doing here. 

So I think things have opened up a little bit since then and it just seems far more normalized for people to be curious about meditation and energy. I see more coaches coming out of the closet who were once like executive coaches or peak performance coaches and they are speaking more prominently about energy and things that yogis have talked about for thousands of years. None of this is new. 

At some point it just, centuries ago we were really conditioned to be afraid of these skill sets because when we take responsibility for our energy we become powerful, empowered beings. And some of the social constructs we've been raised in have not always been amenable to a society that is truly powerful. So we're up against a lot of big changes, but it's so exciting. 

And I love what you said about the business being a living being. This is something I've been teaching for years and it's something you can even, if there's any energy workers listening, it also just feels intuitive. A business has a soul, it has a vision, it has an energy of what it wants to be. The most successful businesses we see thriving in the world have an energy about them. They have a unique signature. We call it a brand, but you can feel it. It's even personified in some ways and tells a story and invites you into maybe a new consciousness. 

So I love using these frameworks. It's really, I would say, a new technology that we can leverage as we become more open to cultivating our intuition and abilities to heal and operate in more multi-dimensional ways which can be so much more efficient, so much more resource efficient when we tap into our higher mind and operate from our presence. We receive much more creative, innovative strategy. 

And lastly I'll just say is about - this has been coming up a lot lately in terms of synchronicity - just the reminder of like Steve Jobs. The latest innovators of our time. He was actually considering becoming a Zen monk because he was so avid in his meditation practice and so curious about awakening and what's possible through the body and multi sensory perception when you really cultivate that discipline. And his Zen teacher said, "No, go into the world and build something of value that will change the world and help humanity and bring your practice with you as you build it." 

And so I just love that as an example. 

Nancy Rush:

That's beautiful. I'm so glad that you brought that up because he really is a source of inspiration, I think for many of us, because he did so beautifully balance, at least he appeared to, but he did so beautifully balance that more spiritual aspect of being that way in the world with being a very good businessman. 

And I also think that this is an interesting point that you brought up around this idea that we're actually becoming so much more technologically advanced. I mean, we just use AI as an example. AI is now pretty much becoming mainstream. But at the same time, while the technology is advancing, we're also being called into greater resonance, into bringing in more of ourselves in resonance and harmony and balance and making that just as big of a part as doing something like AI. 

So in other words, what I'm saying is that it's like the technology exists, but the technology alone is not enough. We've got to bring ourselves to the field as well to really show up in resonance and allow that part of us to channel through where we are co-creating. We're not just doing it all by ourselves. 

Because I think many of us, especially as we started out as entrepreneurs, often felt like we had to lone wolf it. And that's completely the polar opposite. I'm always telling my clients, it's like, no, no, no, you don't want to be lone wolfing it. And you have all these resources to turn to, to co-create. Plus it's just way more fun. Don't you think? 

Sydney Campos:

Absolutely. We're meant to collaborate and be in community and be really powerful leaders leading together. And this is also part of a big deconditioning that many of us find along the path. It can be really vulnerable and require support to really decondition the parts of ourselves that have learned to operate only in a hierarchy or only with authority or only as a student or a follower or whatever it is, the parts of us that have learned to be disempowered or afraid of leading or really answering that intuitive nudge when we feel it's our call to show up, to share, to create. 

It's, yeah, so I love working with leaders in those realms and especially in groups because we can't do it alone. We can't really recondition ourselves just sitting in an echo chamber. 

Nancy Rush:

No, you really can't. I have a mentor of mine who does these - she just facilitates these beautiful group experiences and it's fascinating to me that every time somebody brings a question to the table it literally affects every single person on that call. So it's like of course the community is so important. It's just incredible. 

Plus I think the idea too of feeling supported because we all have our moments where we may not feel, or we might feel a little wobbly. I don't know about you, but there are some days once in a while I do feel a little wobbly and having a community to turn to, having thought leadership to turn to is what keeps me when I can't do it for myself. It gives me the support I need to basically continue that. 

And I do think though that often we are conditioned not to ask for support and help. And that's one of the greatest things I wish that I could undo for the thought leaders that are out there - that asking for support and help isn't necessarily a form of weakness. It's just simply that you require assistance. And of course, be strategic about who you invite in as a mentor, but having that someone there that can see you and accept you without any judgment, but that can help you facilitate whatever it is that you're either needing to let go of or process. 

I think that's just so incredibly important rather than trying to do it all by yourself. Going back to your example, Steve Jobs had a Zen monk, I guess, I don't know what you call it, what the terminology is, but he had mentorship in that form, which is a way of supporting himself on an energetic level, but also personally as well. 

Sydney Campos:

Right. Well, the most expansive successful people I know have a giant team of support in every area of their life. They have, in some cases, a whole team for their business, mentorship, advisory, strategy, support, energetic, spiritual, body support, mindset, physical health, peak performance, nervous system. It has to be normalized. 

I think a lot of us, I'll speak for myself, I had a period and I've had a business for almost ten years. At the beginning, the first couple of years, I feel like I went into a lot of self-sufficiency without knowing it. That was just how I grew up. It was a trauma response - self-sufficiency and being a high achiever and being able to do a lot and hold a lot on my own and probably sourcing a lot of value and validation from being able to do that. But it was exhausting to a point and I couldn't, I would hit a glass ceiling of expansion in terms of what was possible until I could really allow myself to welcome in more support. 

And that was incredibly challenging at times. And I've gone through different phases of that as I've grown and expanded in my service and capacity. And at this point, it's just a complete requirement. Like you can't really do anything alone. I never want to do anything alone again. 

And actually asking for help is a marker of strength and resilience and vulnerability, which is such a superpower. And it invites incredible creativity and just abundance. 

I love the intro to your show about sustainable abundance. And really, I think it's important for us to define what is abundance, especially in a time where I feel money is actually becoming more obsolete as we see it become digitized. And as we have AI coming in to replace a lot of work that we don't have to do anymore. So what is abundance? What is success? What is the true purpose that we're here to fulfill? What are we really doing in these businesses? If not creating vehicles for planetary and personal transformation that helps to build a more thriving way of being for all of us. And that gives back, takes care of the planet, takes care of our resources and takes care of each other and ourselves. 

And so I just love that inspiration arising to me. Abundance is really about connection at the end of the day. And it's about partnerships and having friends, allies, mentors, support that I can rely on and I can trust are going to be there no matter what. Like when things go down, we never know. Who do you have to call? Who do you have to call on? 

Or are you like how I was years ago where I was in a bit of like a glass castle looking perfect, like I had it all together, helping everybody, but not really trusting that anybody could have my back because I was really afraid of letting someone in. I was afraid of maybe being rejected if I did let myself be revealed. I was afraid that someone else couldn't hold me because I had developed such an immense capacity. 

So it's so vulnerable, but I feel at this point it's required in order for us to be the leaders that we came here to be. We must be open to really dropping those masks of self-protection and welcome support in whatever form that we need. 

Nancy Rush:

I think that's really lovely the way that you described that because that has been part of my journey too, is that especially coming from the feeling like I have to do it all by myself or that's a form of weakness if I was to ask for help. And in reality, so many years later, my growth, my perspective, my joy in what it is that I do is so much bigger. The capacity is enormous simply because I did do all of the things that you were just talking about, just like you did. 

Where we start to lay the mask down, we bring our authenticity, who we are truly. Not who we want people to perceive us as being, but we show up truly and authentically and then give ourselves permission to be vulnerable and to recognize that the business is not really a business. It's so much bigger than a business. 

And so then, but with that comes the opportunity to reconcile aspects of ourselves that are not necessarily in alignment, which I know for many people that I work with a lot of times it's visibility. They have issues around being seen or other people perhaps judging them or they themselves judging themselves on what they think is right or wrong. 

And I really do love that you are expanding the definition around abundance, because I agree. I think it's so much more than just money. I think money is kind of a default. But for me, it's like, do I have an abundance of joy in my life? Do I have abundance of support and abundance of connection? Getting to interact with you today and bring this to the table, it's hugely abundant. I love it. 

Sydney Campos:

Yeah I love what you're starting to open up for me. It taps into this about aspects and how we relate to business. And I feel like sharing just in terms of a practical - if people listening are relating to this conversation so far and you're like I've been really self-sufficient or I've been a workaholic or I've been a perfectionist or I felt like an imposter or I'm afraid to be seen, all that stuff I've been there. But especially about the intuitive stuff and coming out of the closet more with that and just coming to the point where I can be completely confident introducing myself as a three-time founder and owner operator and psychic energy healer. No big deal. And people love it. Most people I find now are like oh tell me more about that, cool. 

And we need more of us coming out and just being that example of really practical grounded strategy and these really kind of like logical analytical strategic skill sets also integrated with emotional intelligence and intuitive ability and energetic healing abilities and things like this. 

And so I wanted to name just a tool that's been really helpful for me in breaking a lot of these patterns has been the work of inner family systems, working with the inner child and also on the topic of relating to the business as a being. I feel like my business is in a way a child and I'm its parent. But I can't be an effective leader and steward of that being and its life if I'm not taken care of. And so I have to take care of my inner family. 

I have an inner child, teenagers, I have all these different aspects. And then I have inner parents who are maybe the ones that I really needed to build this whole new relationship with because the parents I had in this biological life were maybe not providing the support that I needed to be a really effective adult. 

And so that journey can be really intimate, very emotional, very intense, has required a lot of help. But as I have really progressed in that journey, it's been many years in different forms. That's really been, I think, the deepest, most profound transformation of everything I've done has just been those frameworks: internal family systems, family constellations. There's some twelve step recovery as well that's in that vein and just so helpful. And even that's all becoming more normalized now, which is great. 

Nancy Rush:

I totally agree with this because I've had experience with the same systems and they have made a profound difference for me as well. And really bringing me just the sense of greater peace, because I think that so many of us take these aspects of ourselves either that we've received through trauma or through perceptions that we've created and we tend to fracture these parts off and then we kind of like shove them over there, bury them deep down and it's like we're never going to touch them again. 

But when we allow ourselves to open up and then harmonize with these aspects of ourselves. I don't know about you, but for me, there was a sense of coming home that I could be totally okay with every aspect of myself, even the ones that I might perceive as not necessarily being desirable, so to speak. 

And so in having that greater peace, it brought greater confidence, greater stability and more, I would say, less stress for me overall, because the judge and jury that was in my head wasn't necessarily running the show anymore whereas before it was running the show which just felt so stressful. 

So when I see business owners that are struggling with stress or overwhelm or they're overworked because they're over giving and fill in the blank, this is all coming - bringing them back to this what you're speaking about is this harmonization, this reconciliation with these aspects of ourselves. I think it's really critical. 

The other thing, too, that I think is interesting is how this ties into our intuition. So you and I are both big proponents of using intuition in our businesses. It's part of my everyday strategy that the business is speaking to me along with other aspects to bring guidance and creativity and all of that inspiration into it. 

But for people who are not focused on the harmonization of these different aspects of themselves, I almost feel like it becomes a competitive situation where either they don't know what to listen to or if they could trust the guidance that's coming through or they just basically drown it out and allow that judge and jury or the logical mind to take over. 

So I'm curious from your perspective, what do you see with the people that you work with and how can someone create a greater harmony here to be able to really truly use their intuition in a powerful way? 

Sydney Campos:

Well, we all have powerful intuitive abilities, no matter who you are. The body is innately wired with profound intuition, and it may come in many different forms. Everybody's system is so different and unique, and I love getting to know people on that level and seeing how they perceive the world. 

I mean, as you clean out density and trauma and all of these strategies we learned to survive that are no longer useful in your adult abundant life and vision, you have a lot of bandwidth freed up and your intuition tends to come on pretty strongly. It comes back once you can allow more energy to be utilized for your vision, for creativity, for play, for fun. 

And I would also say just in response to that, I think what we're really getting at here is like, how do you access a clear vision? When you have a clear vision of what you are here to do, these personality survival tactics of I'm afraid to be seen, or what do people think or whatever the self obsession is, it will fall away. Because you're connected to something higher that doesn't, nothing else really matters. 

What are you alive for? I love to ask that question. When do you feel most alive? Why are you alive? And it might be like a deep question, but it kind of cuts through all the noise. And if you can answer that clearly and allow your life to be built in alignment with that as the answer, a lot of these other low level energy drains, again, like survival tactics, coping mechanisms that take up a lot of bandwidth, they can start to fall away and you can start to feel a sense of your true self and true worth. 

And again you stop wasting energy. As I did for many years at the beginning of my business I was wasting a lot of energy because what happens is we repress the trauma but it will come out subconsciously through your creation. So a lot of people you'll see create businesses that are almost - they're creating the thing that they wish they themselves could receive that they're not actually receiving on the level that they need it. 

But it's like the subconscious thing of - I was doing it in my business, starting a coaching and healing practice. Again I didn't know what I didn't know and I'm so grateful for all the lessons that I now have integrated pretty well. But at the beginning I didn't know and I was just really excited to be out there in the world and advising startups and offering energy healing and getting to travel. I had built a PR agency that I helped to sell and then I was also feeling like I couldn't be my true self in this office environment where I was managing people. I couldn't share about the experiences I was having as an energy healer. So I had to do my own thing. 

And so selling that agency allowed me to take a trip to Bali, which changed my life, and just travel. But in starting the business, I was unknowingly really sharing a lot in a way. I wasn't afraid of being seen in certain ways but I was really overly sharing in a performative way to get attention and to be who I perceived people wanted me to be. And I learned that skill very young. And I was really charismatic and magnetic. And they're like, I can sell you the solution and the five step plan for your abundance or whatever it is. And I was kind of doing that. 

And I was helping people definitely, because we all reach people at the level that we're meant to at the time. We all learned some great lessons I'm sure together over the years. But just looking back, I can see like, wow, there were a lot of unintegrated aspects of myself that I didn't yet have the capacity to really feel and meet and take care of that were then showing up in my business through overworking, unconsciously trying to prove myself, seeking validation, never enough, never enough attention, never enough money, having a lot of money and success and accolades, but not really being able to enjoy it, not feeling at peace, being really tired, honestly, and not knowing that that was even happening and not having people around me who could say, hey, are you okay? Do you need a break? You're burning the candle at both ends. 

And so it has been a recovery process in different phases as I've grown and evolved. I think all of us go through some kind of cycle like that, especially as entrepreneurs. And we learn how important it is to especially have people around us that we can trust, who can give us feedback and call us out on our blind spots. I think that's one of the biggest takeaways from my journey. 

Nancy Rush:

Well, and that's why to your earlier point, I think that some form of mentorship or some sort of a collective or something that you belong to is so important because often you can't see what's actually going on. And so sometimes you can't see what's actually going on and then having the wisdom of someone else to point it out to you. 

Because I don't know about you, although I suspect this is true for you, that all it takes is just a small course correction to bring yourself back into alignment. But if you don't see the need for the course correction, you can just kind of blindly - and I think we've all been there. We've all craved more success, more money, more accolades, more, more, more. 

And have the epiphany along the way that that really wasn't the golden ring, so to speak. That wasn't the ultimate goal. And so for me, there's been a significant realignment of coming into - my purpose was always to be of service, a hundred percent. But like you, in my earlier days, I was absolutely in service but not in a harmonized way that was aligned that wasn't burning me down or causing me to tip into those patterns of over giving. Whereas today, the energy around it is very different. And the purpose is so much bigger than where it originally started, which is ultimately, for me, that's the most fun and the most rewarding, I think. 

Sydney Campos:

Yes. I wanted to, I don't know if I answered your last question, but I'm getting a little ping to just bring it back. So what's the point of using intuition in business? How's that really efficient resource-wise? 

And so we talked a little bit about the trauma and cleaning up the old patterns of survival. And then you have all this energy to cultivate presence and into more peace and joy and listening and listening to intuitive guidance that will usually always give you really specific strategy that leads to success if you're following an authentic vision that feels like a soul vision. The real visions are here to birth. They feel destined. They feel like they're meant for us. It feels like almost like a marriage, like a divine union. It's not random. And at least for the kinds of businesses I like to be involved with that deal with planetary change and systems redesign. 

And so when you really get out of the way - this is what I've been really practicing the last, it's been about the last two years like just deeper embodiment of stuff I've been saying a long time but I'm like oh I'm really feeling it like way more. Get out of the way of what I think, analytically, logically, even with all the practical strategies, sometimes that's very useful, but sometimes we can be very limited by that in terms of what we can see as possible. 

And the more I recommit to deeper meditation, embodiment practice, really stabilizing in presence for longer amounts of time and really relating to my business on a more spiritual plane of asking it, literally asking in a meditation, "How are you today, business, or whatever the name is? How are you feeling? How do you want to be expressed? What are the actions I can do to support you? Who am I meant to connect to? What are the communities I'm meant to touch? Where am I meant to build? Where am I meant to focus my energy?" 

And when you listen and really trust, you often get really precise, specific strategy that has almost like a ten X or a hundred X impact compared to if I had done a linear like, oh, I'm going to follow this marketing plan and this funnel or whatever. Sometimes that can be useful, too. But it's just a very different spectrum in terms of impact of our creation and efforts, I find. 

And to your point, it's like a lot more fun. And I feel so much more tapped into the stream of synchronicity and co-creation. Like even just this last month or so, something has really upticked. I think we're all just in an accelerated plane. Those of us that are doing the work and really wanting to operate in this really authentic place and with integrity, we're getting so much support. And so I've just noticed synchronicities are flying off the charts and I'm meeting the right people at the right time. And I'm just being held in this vision actualizing and it's the best. 

Nancy Rush:

I feel the same thing. And it's like the more I come into that, like you said, these practices of being in communion with business and being in communion with my intuition, that the guidance that comes through is so powerful. It used to be like a staticky channel years ago. It's not staticky anymore unless I'm just absolutely not listening. And so I think that it's so much more powerful. 

And I feel the resonance when I go, when I'm really in that zone of what you're talking about. When I go to create something for my people, my gosh, like it's energetically, it's off the charts versus sitting down and being like, oh, I've got to write content. I have to, it's not coming from a place of inspiration at all. 

So, but I think too, that many of us, we get really busy with the business. And so we let some of these other very important aspects, we either put them on the back burner or we let them go all together. And I think for many people, that's a huge mistake, not in a judgmental way, but meaning that they're really cutting themselves off from the source of inspiration that is so - and it's just juicy and yummy and it feels good when you're creating in that frame of mind too. 

Sydney Campos:

Yeah I'm so glad this is coming up and it can be a blind spot. It can be a trap especially if you're in the self-sufficiency overworking pattern which a lot of people are, especially people that are in service as healers, as spiritual entrepreneurs, as definitely in the startup world which I've been in for a decade. It's almost like it could be a badge of honor being burnt out. That's definitely kind of a mentality in New York and around the startup community and tech founders. 

And I really feel a strong calling to interrupt that pattern and just really be examples and permission for as many people as possible to lead in a different way. And that really we are calling forth a new type of leader who is resourced and present and calm. And that burnout is not a badge of honor. It's actually something that we should really tend to with a lot of care and show more concern for people that are exhibiting signs of being overworked and stressed out. 

I mean, stress will kill you. It's not cool. Hustle is not a cool thing. It's not good for you, and it's not good for your body. It degenerates your cells and it's dangerous. So I really feel this called to just normalize more practices also that help us to relax and to prioritize meditation. 

I'm reading this really cool book. I forget how it came about but it's called "The Metaphysical Millionaire." It's amazing. I had never heard of it either and it's so nice. It's like one of those books where you're reading it and it's just like drinking water. It's just so affirming. And it quotes all these prolific business leaders throughout time, like Steve Jobs is in there, Ray Dalio, like all these different people who are just total pioneers and the titans of industry and talking about their meditation practice being the foundation for all of their success. And it shares a lot more about the science and just the - it's good. It's a really good bridge for people that are maybe listening to this conversation and they're like, a little bit woo, but like read the book and learn about the science and then what we're talking about will make a lot of sense. 

Nancy Rush:

I agree. And I do think that that's the old paradigm where we rewarded being overstressed, overworked, leading with like the iron fist, so to speak. And so I think that humanity as a whole is calling out for something different. Like to your point, we're all on a pretty rapid path of ascension and getting cracked wide open right now. 

And so this is offering the opportunity for those of us to embody different principles as I call them - visionary leaders. These are leaders that are very firmly anchored and aligned with who they are and leading with authenticity, but leading with compassion, not from a hierarchical perspective, and also leading from not separatism or duality, but leading from unity. 

And so I think these are the principles that are definitely coming in. And the more people, I'm with you, I want to see it all be completely normalized because A, everybody has so much more of a positive experience, but B, these old things just don't really serve us anymore. We're being called to something so much higher. So I love that you recommended this book. I'm going to check it out for sure because I love that somebody's talking about these absolute principles so it's great. 

Sydney Campos:

You'll like it. You'll really enjoy that. Gosh, we're just in such an exciting moment of time. I feel so grateful to be alive, to witness this transition underway and to be a part of it and to meet other people like you now more and more at such an accelerated rate of - it feels like reuniting. Like we're back. Let's do it. 

Nancy Rush:

I know. And that's one of the big reasons why we put the summit together was because A, giving voice to people like you who are actually co-creating with these concepts of being a visionary leader and co-creating in a very different way than the old paradigms of business. But really, truly, also for everybody watching this, either they're already on their journey or we're opening up something new for them. But either way, it's like back to normalization. It's like, yes, let's get everybody on the same page because I think that's the future where humanity wants to go is unity and not separatism or dualism or any of that stuff. 

Sydney Campos:

Amen. 

Nancy Rush:

Well, this has been fantastic. I just could keep talking to you for another thirty minutes. That would be super easy. But for the sake of time, I would love to give you a minute to talk about your free gift. I think it's an awesome one so that people know what they can expect. 

Sydney Campos:

Sure. I'm pretty sure I gave access to the Embodied Ascension Academy, which is a library I've created over years with - you'll have free access to a few different energy healing transmissions and meditations and I think a few workshops as well. So it's all of my body of work over many years to help visionary leaders embody their authenticity and unlock more purpose and power and ease. 

And then I would also mention, check out my books. I wrote a book, especially for this time and a lot of what we're talking about called "I'm Ascending, Now What?" And it's full of steps and really protocols for a lot of, again, what we've discussed around nervous system regulation, recalibration, healing trauma patterns, working with the inner family system and stepping into your powerful vision. 

Nancy Rush:

That sounds amazing. I think that that's such a beautiful gift to give people the access to all of the teachings and stuff. And I love that your book is so perfectly aligned with exactly what we've been talking about. So I will be - we're going to be offering a free two to three hour guided immersion on basically it's a sacred space where we're going to be walking people through our definition around seven core pillars that are for a soul aligned purpose driven business. 

And so we're going to be exploring some of the topics that we talked about today. We're also going to be doing an activation to help everybody integrate the connection with them and their business so that the business as a living entity, because that's something I've talked about for years as well. And so really just taking everybody deeper into what does it mean to have a soul driven and purpose aligned business? So that's what we're doing. 

Sydney Campos:

Beautiful. That sounds so fun and such a powerful time to be gathering in that way. That sounds like a blast. 

Nancy Rush:

That's exactly it. It's like, come on, let's do it. So yeah, I think it's going to be great. Well, Sydney, thank you so much for being here today. Thank you for your light. Thank you for all of the lovely information that you shared. I know people are going to get so much from it. 

Sydney Campos:

Thank you so much. It's been an absolute pleasure and I'm really excited to see where we'll meet next and how we may collaborate. 

Nancy Rush:

I will absolutely keep that in mind. Would love to continue to co-create with you.
