Intro To Kamala
Luis Congdon
Today, we want to do a special episode where you get to meet your hosts. And today, we want to talk about who’s Kamala, why is she doing the show, who is she just so all of you at Thriving Launch can all connect with Kamala.
So, Kamala, welcome.
Kamala Chambers
Thank you so much Luis. It’s such a joy to be in this environment with you and to have the honor to do the show with you.
Luis Congdon
I’m excited right now because I want everybody to know who it is that’s hosting the show and who I have the pleasure to run a business with, travel with, and be a partner with.
So Kamala, why don’t you kick it off and just tell us a little bit about who you are and bring us to your journey.
Kamala Chambers
Well, I think something that’s really fundamental and important for both of us Luis is the word “Freedom”. And that’s really why we created this show is because we want to have freedom in our lives, which we do and we want to promote freedom for other people.
Freedom became very important to me at a young age. I started travelling without my parents when I was 10 years old and I started doing my first hitchhiking trips at the age of 13. I hitchhiked around the United States when I was 15, hitchhiked across Canada when I was 16, hitchhiked all around Europe when I was 17, and I really discovered freedom and how important freedom was for me.
Something that came of that was I found what it meant to be an entrepreneur at a young age. I started becoming an entrepreneur I would say it around the time that I had discovered travel and how much I loved it. And then, when I was 19 I started my very first business and I haven’t looked back. I haven’t work for anyone since.
Luis Congdon
That’s so incredible to hear. Just a snippet of your story and it’s really apparent why you would want to start the Thriving Launch podcast and why you got involved with helping people launch online businesses but there was a time too when you’re like doing meditation retreats and helping people with their relationships, and singles, and couples. I’d love to hear a little bit about that too. I know personally, that’s something that I find very interesting about you and it adds this depth to you.
Kamala Chambers
Thanks Luis.
Yeah. Well, one thing that I’ve found on my travels is I discovered the power of touch and how touch and breath and movement can change your whole world. It can change everything. So I got interested in energy medicine, I studied it for about a year before I found that there were schools on it.
I went to school for energy medicine. I did maybe 3 years of schooling and then I got hired as a lead instructor at the EarthWalk Institute for Healing Arts and I started teaching energy medicine. I started teaching a higher sense of perception. So, how to perceive things beyond the normal five senses. I also thought in depth energy structures within the body and how the energy inside of us is affected by the energy outside of us.
It’s kind of a tumbling journey because as I got deeper into energy medicine, I saw how important nutrition was to the body as well. So I went to The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and started becoming a health coach and supporting people with their health.
And there was another missing element for me, which was relationships. For me, relationships are really important part of my journey and if you’ve read my book Road to Love, you’ll see how relationships have helped to shape the path I’m on. And so, I got deep into intimacy and the art of tantra. I know that it seems like that’s a lot of different topics to cover but for me, it was all about becoming a holistic person and helping other people live holistic lives. And through that process, I was building my own business, I was studying marketing, and I was growing my business online.
An important thing about an online business for me was that it gave me the freedom that I desire. It gave me the freedom that I found in a young age and it helped me to shape my life the way I want it.
Luis Congdon
It’s really cool to get it, just a snippet of your whole life. I, unlike other people, I have a lot of opportunities to spend time around you but just hearing you plot your life, it’s so apparent that you’ve lived such an eclectic life and you’ve sought out so many different practices, knowledge, and experiences.
I’m curious, how does that all influence you know and how does it influence The Thriving Launch show and the expectations that people can have on the show?
Kamala Chambers
It’s a really good question because for me, that background, everything that I’ve done and I think this is true for people that all of the moments that we have in our lives build up to where we are now and I think we are all at our greatest when we get to embody the most amount of gifts that we have. When we can live our lives really integrating all of our gifts, then we are at our highest level.
And for me, the business that I have now in doing the show with you and running this business with you and living the life that we live Luis is really a life of being able to embody those gifts. The gifts of being more present. Something like as simple as that or being able to understand what intimacy and connection are, and really the business that we have is helping people grow their online businesses.
So to be able to take the very intuitive parts of me and incorporated with the extremely strategic parts of me is something that is such a passion and one of the reasons we do the show is because it allows us to be friends with and connect with the highest level people on the planet, the highest experts in their industry that know about relationships, and devoted their lives to things like spirituality and to helping people with their businesses.
So we bring those experts on and it becomes not just an experience where people are coming to learn about business or spirituality but it’s really for the holistic entrepreneur. The entrepreneur who’s looking for the life the of freedom, the life of being the best version of ourselves that we can be where we bring all of our gifts together and access those gifts on a daily basis.
Luis Congdon
That’s great Kamala. Before we sign off here, I just want to ask you is there anything that you want people are listening to The Thriving Launch show to know or any kind of message for them before we sign off?
Kamala Chambers
Well, I think the biggest message from all of these is I really encourage you to stretch yourselves, to find out what your gifts are, to discover what your passions are, and to utilize those gifts as much as you possibly can every single day because that is when you’re going to be playing on your highest level possible because when you are playing on your highest level, you inspire other people to do the same. It’s good for our hearts, for the hearts and souls of the people around us, and I think it’s good for the world.
Luis Congdon
All right. Thank you so much Kamala. It’s great to just have a little introduction to you. All of you listening, we’re going to continue shows where we’re going to open up who the hosts are, find out more about the show, and what’s going on in the show.
