Please welcome Lenea Loxin.
Speaker 2:My goodness. Thank you so much, jacqueline, for that incredible intro, wow.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I am so excited to have you here with us today and just the message that you're bringing. I mean, you've been on stages all over the world in front of thousands of people in Uganda just doing major, massive work with people in their lives and really unlocking that potential within human beings all over the place. Please tell us a little bit about that and how you even got started in that.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness. Well, yes, so I've been a singer my whole life. This is where it begins. I come from a very, very soulful family. My dad is one of 14, and all of them played instruments and sang and they're from Guam and so they were like the Jackson Five. They had a band and they were just funky, soulful.
Speaker 2:And so when I came onto the scene, all I knew was that you better sing, you better play, you better jam, you better harmonize. We're going to come together, we're going to be in unity, and this is just what life is about. It's about feeling, it's about coming back to the soul, it's about coming together and it's about using our gifts and our music to lift others. So that's how it started for me, and as I started venturing into the world of ministry and business and music, I found that that soulfulness, that unity, that the goosebumps, feelings when you're just all about the light, all about the good vibes, all about lifting others up. I couldn't let that go, and so, in ministry or in business, or in marketing and coaching people, I'm always trying to ignite that soulful spark inside of people and every person that I work with, and so that's why I call myself an expression coach, because it doesn't matter what room I'm in or what type of person that I'm working with. I go right for the soul.
Speaker 1:Yes. So I met you. I was like, oh my gosh, you really caught my attention and you didn't even say a lot. Okay, so you didn't say a lot. But when I first met you I was like, wow, this gal is powerful, she's going to do powerful things and you already were doing amazing, powerful things when I had first met you. So I mean, that is amazing.
Speaker 1:You really step into a room, you step into a stage, step onto the stage and just on the artistic side of you and, from what I've seen, you really captivate an audience because what you're doing is you're ushering a presence in, and when you usher that presence in, you could just see it in all the photos from Uganda and like all these different places that you've been on stages where people are just broken to the presence that you are ushering in and really establishing that foreground for what's about to unleash. And you're right there making sure and forging that and making sure that's happening and nurturing that situation. So that's really amazing. How does it make you feel when you're up there on stage and that presence is just coming down and it's just unleashing into the audience?
Speaker 2:Yes, well, I don't take it lightly, and I remember this battle that I used to have of I just I love to be alone in a room, but then I know how to take the stage, and what I realize is I'm an introvert who knows how to.
Speaker 2:No way.
Speaker 2:No, I really really am.
Speaker 2:It's so interesting because when I get on a stage, I really don't take it lightly and I feel that I'm on assignment, that every person that I'm going to sing over or speak to, or witness it is literally my job.
Speaker 2:I think this is just a God thing. It feels innate for me that if I'm in front of someone that I'm going to make sure that they leave my presence feeling ignited and feeling lifted up. And again, I really do attribute that to being a God thing because I surrender my gifts Like I know I have my voice, I know I have my energy, I know I have my passion and my heart. But none of this would be a thing if I didn't go back into my introverted, quiet space and ask God okay, why the heck did you put all of this inside of me? I just like I like to chill behind the scenes, but you put such a heart in me to ignite the world, and so every time I'm on a stage, every time I'm with someone, it's literally my job to pull the gifts out and to show them their God gifts too.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I love this.
Speaker 1:I mean we are all born with these innate God gifts that were just given to us from before birth, you know. So I definitely love what you're doing in so many women's lives and the women that you're working with they're a pretty high profile, high performing, you know. They're really people that are just ready to unlock. And what I love about our conversations and what you've told me is that you really get into the depths with women that are, you know, they've had all this great, massive success in life and then somehow they came to a roadblock or some sort of stuchery where they're kind of like they're feeder in the mud and they don't know why they can't move forward, and you really just unlock that and just even having a conversation if you ever audience, this is for you If you get an opportunity to have a conversation with Linnea, you're gonna literally feel unlocked and heard and seen just in one conversation with her.
Speaker 1:So tell us, how does that go with a client, as you're bringing that in? Well, hold on. Well, let's go back to that question. First, I wanna ask you how did you go from you know you really are in the business world, the business sector, and then how did you marry the two to spirituality and expression.
Speaker 2:With great difficulty, I bet. I always felt like I didn't fit in, whether I was in the music industry. I'm like, but I have this business mind and all the strategy and I wanna take action. And then I'd go into the business world and I'm like, why aren't they feeling what they're creating? Like where's you know? I wanna feel more heart, I wanna know their soul, I wanna know the why. And like your business is your art. Yes, you know, and sometimes people think that oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Talk a little bit about that, please. Your business is your art. That was fire right there.
Speaker 2:Your business is genuinely your art, and art is when you can create something out of nothing. It's when you go into the imaginative space and like that's how my songs come. I could not strategically create my songs, that's not how I do it. I have to go into a space where it gets downloaded. I create something out of nothing. But the entrepreneurial realm, I have to say, is one of the most artistic and creative spaces To me. It's like music and entrepreneurial world.
Speaker 2:Yes, artists, complete artists, because you have entrepreneurs that are pulling from. So I mean they don't have to stay in a lane. You can pull music and tech and anything and say, okay, there's a problem and I'm gonna go and create a solution, and create a solution in a unique way, with my unique gifts, with my experience. And both of my parents are entrepreneurs. They've built incredible businesses in the Silicon Valley, in health and wellness, corporate wellness, and so they're not musical. So my dad well, my dad's a trumpet, he played trumpet, but everyone else in his family was musical. So he's like you're gonna do music, you're gonna do music.
Speaker 2:But I remember watching them and witnessing how crafty they were in business, as entrepreneurs, and I would always say, like that's creativity.
Speaker 2:That is your artistry.
Speaker 2:And so when I can connect with an entrepreneur, a high performer and connect on the level of like okay, but this is really like, this is your art, like this is you being creative, like this is you bringing your own flair to the scene, your own spice, and that's where we connect and entrepreneurs and high performers feel safe with me because they see me on stage and they're like she's a high performer, she's like these big things.
Speaker 2:I'm like no, really, I'm an artist at the heart who knows how to perform at a high level. Well, when I connect with them on the high level, I can pull them back into their artistry, where they stop performing for a second and go back to feeling and go back to their intuition and go back to those downloads and go back to their inner child of like what was it that you wanted to be? Did you wanna be a hero? Did you wanna create massive businesses? Like why? And it's such a fun conversation. Honestly, it's not very businessy. And so when we go I can't imagine it Like business people come to me and we just have like fun talks.
Speaker 1:Yes, no, and that's. I feel like that is so a creative space is. There's nothing clunky about it, there's nothing bogged down about it, because creativity is it doesn't exist. You're literally making it up. So it is all based on how you can get in that free zone to create right. And entrepreneurship is I mean, entrepreneur hood is all about creative. If you are having, I guess, difficulties or roadblocks or barriers, it's because you're in that stuckery. And I definitely see that every entrepreneur needs a expression coach, because you can't get to the next higher lengths, higher heights, higher peaks without unleashing creativity, without being innovative, and you really bring out that innovation in people by creation. So that's amazing. What do you feel like are the biggest roadblocks that you see with people that get them stuck? Is it like the Monday task of business or like the routine, like they just get into a routine of doing things the way they always been doing it? What do you think is the biggest thing?
Speaker 2:It's definitely different for everybody, but what I find in the business space is that when I connect with someone, I find that they're very much in their head.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Very much in their head. They're busy, they're running big operations and they can't like drop the ball. So that kind of translates to like holding their breath. To me, when I see them, okay, I can feel you're totally in your head, you're totally stressed, you're totally overwhelmed, you're holding your breath and sometimes there's little signs, like their body starts to give them signs headaches or digestion and these are just little things that your body saying it's like. Come back to the body, yes, and that's where creativity comes from.
Speaker 1:I love it. Okay, so you get them to unlock and unleash that creativity. Now, once they have this, all the creativeness flowing, what do you do with it? How do you organize it? How do you, you know, perform it? I guess, put it into a performance step.
Speaker 2:Well, I don't know if I have a perfect answer for that, because when you make art, sometimes it's a mess and typically one of the first things that I get my client to start doing is accepting the wobbly feelings again.
Speaker 1:Okay, so that is very counterintuitive to what I just asked you then, because I'm like, well, how do you organize it? So I'm thinking very businessy, right, how do you organize that, how do you perform it and scale that. And you're like, well, hold on, let's get comfortable with being wobbly and, you know, not being sure of our footing right now. Like, let's get comfortable with that, I like that.
Speaker 2:Okay, tell me more, because when I was talking earlier about staying in your lane. If I were to stay in my lane and it was just music and being inspirational through music I wouldn't have been able to bring it over into the, the business space, unless I allowed myself to. And so I remember thinking, okay, what is it that I do inside of business? Getting people to feel, ignite the gifts inside of them so that it can be passed on to the audience and be so felt, your art, your music? How can I take that into business? Because I believe so much in in leaders with messages On a mission and their entrepreneurial services. It's like that is an art, that is a gift. So how can I take what I do here and bring it into this space?
Speaker 2:And it and it's messy I'm not, I'm not going to lie it's a messy to be able to get someone to speak from their heart again and not from their, their expertise and their knowledge. Sometimes you kind of have to get rid of that for a second so that we can come back to the heart, because people build business and they're not going to be able to speak from their heart, because people build business as a means to an end. Yes, and it's either for fulfillment. I mean, we're all looking for fulfillment, we're looking for happiness, but sometimes we're building because we want to make money, we want to build things, we want power, whatever it may be that the ego is like can you give me this, can you give me this? But? But ultimately, if if I'm speaking to the heart and to the soul people want to feel truly, truly fulfilled, and so you. I meet people who have all of this success and yet they're still frustrated.
Speaker 1:Yes, You're really unleashing the authenticity, and people too, and bringing them back to that point, kind of like you know, like when you're a kid when you're a kid you don't know, you're not cursed with the knowledge of knowing, the fear of failure. You know, and you're in that position where you're very curious about the world and you're basically bringing that moment back to them, like why were you curious about this? You know what? What made you passionate about this? And and really getting them to unlock that in them again, that that, basically, that Disneyland kid in them again.
Speaker 2:Yes, because that's that's our spirit. I really think that, like our childhood persona is, is our true essence. It's our spirit. And then we learn to perform and perfect. And then we we reach a certain level of success and we think, okay, we got there because of our performance and our perfection. And then, when there's the, when the fulfillment goes away and we're unsatisfied and our body is giving us signs that we're not happy anymore and it shuts down and mentally we have anxiety and depression.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's like like you could have all the money in the world, but if your body hurts and your mind is miserable, like then what did you do wrong? And you lost your spirit, you lost that spark. And I love speaking to you because I always feel your spark and I hear your stories and how you work at such a high level and you work with so many others at such a high level and I'm like I know why they love you. I know why they love you because you're not only an incredible performer, you don't just perfect and love excellence, but you pulled your creativity and your spark and your uniqueness back into your expertise and a lot of people haven't figured that out yet. It's like bring your spirit back and everything's gonna change and you're gonna feel better.
Speaker 1:There's this. I love that you said that, because a lot of people have asked me, like, how are you so free and how are you not so bogged down with like the inner workings of like the business, day to day operations, things like that? And I'm like, no, I still am that person. But I remember hearing this a long time ago from like a parable or story, and it said you have to have childlike faith. And it's like and it really broke down the story, right, the childlike faith is that a child doesn't know that they can't do, they can't be a superhero. They don't know that they don't have superpowers, they think they do. And it's all the years of grownups and adults telling them no, you can't do that. No, you can't do that.
Speaker 1:No that's wrong, no, like you know. But it says you know, that word said to go back to being a child and having that childlike faith where you just were being led because you believed. You know, and I feel like that's how I've really embodied, like what I do in business and it's to your point, is like really being able to fill that inner person, that inner spirit, you know.
Speaker 2:Oh, I just, I love that. I love that so much. It makes me think of the moment where I finally made the decision that I was gonna release my book.
Speaker 1:Yes, so talk to us about your book. I love the title of your book. Share the title.
Speaker 2:My book is called Be the Light oh yeah, and it's a guide to help artists, entrepreneurs and world changers on the journey of self-compassion and self-expression, because I believe that those are the key pillars to impact in the world. When we can truly own our gifts, accept who we are, what we've gone through, and then express from that state. When we're alive like that, when we're loving who we are, we can ignite the world around us, our community, and be the light in the world. So I remember, because I was questioning if I should even release a book, because I thought my lane was singing, and there was this moment where I had to go back into my childlike faith. Like I just feel it, like I'm not know how to do this. I may not be this fancy rider, but like I'm just gonna do it. And you won't believe how many doors have already opened because of this book. And it's coming out soon.
Speaker 2:But the book, it was like a window into a whole nother world. It was like I gave voice to the expression of my soul, because this book came to me two years ago but I kept dismissing it. No, that's not me. But finally I'm like no, I have a book. I may not be a rider yet, but I'm a rider now and this book opened the world up to me. It's like you don't know what your soul's expression is gonna do for you. Those are your gifts, but you have to come back to like that question, that unknown space, and it's fun if you let it be.
Speaker 1:I love it. So now I know that we discussed, like one of your you know you had a consulting kind of situation going on and it was with a gal that is about to do she's doing events like in different countries, right. And so as this person is doing events I mean she's a high profile person already and she came to you because she really needed you to unlock that energy in her to be able to go and do that, but also unlock that expression, that voice, so that she can go out there, into her audience, into the world, on world stages and really deliver at a very, very high capacity. Right, how did that go? How, what was that like? Being able to help that person walk through what needed to be done?
Speaker 2:Yes, oh my gosh, that was a cool experience. So this woman, she is an award winning entrepreneur, she's a bestselling author, spiritual speaker, and she experienced success at a very, very young age taking her family's business to eight figures. And then that just started her on the journey in business. And when we met we connected on this soulful level, being the light. And then she came to me and she said, okay, I have this big vision, I've done this in business, I've done this in the spiritual realm, but what I really want to do is work on my voice, because I have this vision for what I'm about to do on tour. And so we planned our voice lesson and we jumped on a call and I already just I already sent it was, it was more than voice, and so I just said, okay, what's what's? What are you doing here? Like I can feel you already, there's more to it, you don't want to just sing, there's something more to it.
Speaker 2:And, sure enough, her, her song, this, what she wanted to do with her voice, had it was like the centerpiece of her speaking tour. Wow, and that expression session, that voice session, ended up turning into an artistic, strategic session about what she is doing in her entire tour and, first of all, that was such an honor to be able to collaborate with her in that space. But it showed me that this is like. This is what I do. I mean, I can be on the stage, I can be planning the events, but this is what I do, is I help ignite the light for massive movements, for massive events, and so what someone would think is just a song, no, it's really the centerpiece, it's really the symbol of the entire movement, and I think that just spoke so much to something that we think is very small. It's really the big news. It's it's everything.
Speaker 1:You know, I feel like it's so wild when you think about it, because even when you look at the history of music, right in and of itself, right, there are songs that have literally changed generations and the way that they move in their light. You know and, and you know you think of artists like Adele, and Adele makes you feel a certain way. You think of, you know, all these different artists that really created a movement or unlocked different levels of artistry, right, and just really paved the way for a new movement of musical and artistry work, right. And so to think that that doesn't make a difference in your own life as a person, as a human being, as an individual, whether business or not, that being in touch with that really helps you perform at a high level, being in touch with your artistic self helps you perform at a high level.
Speaker 1:Okay so you're helping really people in the business realm unlock that potential that's there like in stuchery mode or they don't even know that it is going to exist, you know, because maybe they've been operating so long in more of that tactical kind of logical world and they're not really operating from their creative space. And so what you're doing is you're bringing to the business world, the business environment, the entrepreneurial world is you're really giving them the keys and saying, look, let's unlock a new level of creativity, let's unlock that, that childhood faith in you and let's bring this all to be the light, like you're going to be the light, you're going to shine bright and people are going to be like I'm going to grab my beach towel, I need to go sit by that that person over there because she's the light. You know I'm going to give my son town over there by her because she's, she's the light. And so that's what you're doing within companies and you're individualizing them to be that bright, shining light and leading the way within their industries and and in their businesses, but captivating that creativity. I love this.
Speaker 1:Okay, anything else you want to add in that? I feel like we covered a lot. You have your book. Where can we pick up your book? When are you releasing it? Let's hear about this. How can we get a hold of you? Can we book an appointment with you?
Speaker 2:Yes, you can book an appointment with me, so you can go. My website is linear locks and calm, and you can find me on Instagram at linear locks, and so all my information is there. So the way that I work right now is at a very intimate level. So I have mentorship opportunities available, and what I would really recommend is that if you have something inside of your heart that you feel is suppressed, some sort of project, or maybe it's even on an emotional level, but you want to talk to someone who loves to operate at a high level but is also a creative, to connect with me about mentorship, because something happens when I get in your ear. Yes, and that is how I like to work with people to go back and forth, back and forth and just chew on the things that you're battling, but it really isn't. It doesn't take that long to get down to the soul, the creativity, into the heart, and to figure out what it really is that's holding you back. So mentorship is definitely something that I would say. If you're, if you want to work with me, dive into mentorship. And then, while I'm here, I just also want to say I am unleashing my unique expression also, and so I'm working on a project right now. I have.
Speaker 2:This is I have this song coming out and I'm just this is the first place I'm revealing it, actually, and it's synonymous with my book, it goes with my message, and so I posted it on my story the other day. I'm like I said, I feel like it's going to be an explosion of awesomeness so many things that I've been wanting to be released and expressed for such a long time. I've just said yes, we're going after it now. So the song is called Shine, oh, of course, and it's literally about igniting the light and passing on the light to every single person that you encounter.
Speaker 2:And this is the song that you're releasing.
Speaker 2:This is the song that I'm releasing. Yeah, it's a spiritual, soulful, motivational song, and I'm really excited because I have some incredible people that are backing me to collaborate with even the visual component of what this song really means. So there's going to be a global component, a unity component, and I think that it's going to be a great way to express audibly and visually, what my brand is all about, what I'm trying to do in business and music, and I'm really just here to help people ignite the light inside of them. That is my message. So, the end of time. There's so much that this world needs and really that starts from us igniting our light.
Speaker 1:Oh, amen, yes, yes and yes to all of it. Okay, so we can get ahold of you. Is there a way to get a consultation with you or book an appointment? And that's going to be on your website. That's on my website.
Speaker 2:I'll set you up with all of the links here so that they're down below and you can find that anywhere. Facebook, instagram, all of my social media channels will have those links.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, you definitely have to follow her Every single day. You'll be inspired to create. Okay Entrepreneurs out there. Let's talk about your website really quick, Can you spell that out for us?
Speaker 2:Yes, okay, so we'll do that, Okay, awesome.
Speaker 1:And then you'll be hearing more about the release of her book Be the Light, and then you'll hear more about the release of her new song coming out, and then look for ways that you can work with her. Now I do want to bring this up. You are going to be doing a workshop. I believe it's a workshop. It's called Suppressed to Expressed. Oh wait, say it again. How is it? How is it Suppressed?
Speaker 2:to Express. Yes, this is my signature program. I have been testing this out with my clients and I'm about to create a big launch for this, and I'm so excited about this on so many levels. I've never seen anything out there like this that is going to oh wait, so that's coming, and all the information will be launched out to my social media. Suppressed to expressed.
Speaker 1:Awesome. And then I know that you are going to be or, if you're not already doing a voxer, some sort of voxer mentoring as well. 100%.
Speaker 2:So one of the main ways that I love to mentor and coach is through voxer. We always start with a session at the beginning to make sure that we're connected, on the same page, that I can feel you, and then we start the journey of voxer mentorship. And voxer mentorship is so cool, especially for the high performer, the busy person, because we don't always have the time to jump on a call every single day. But you do have some time to check in, tune into yourself and then check in with me to go through some hurdles and navigate what you're suppressing and what needs to be expressed in your business, in your videos, on your podcast, and so voxer makes it so easy and powerful for us to connect on that level.
Speaker 1:Awesome. Thank you so much for sharing with us today Linnea. Be the light entrepreneurs.
