Happy Friday Friends!

With everything going on in the world right now, there was a part of me that hesitated writing and sharing this with you.  However, the bigger part of me knew it was important to share to help bring a bit of inspiration and empowerment amidst all the doom and gloom news that can be found in the media. 

Now, before you continue reading know this.  I am not here to tell you what to do or how to move through this seemingly precarious time in the world.  I just want to share a few things that have come up for me over the last few weeks & invite you to take what resonates and leave the rest.  

Friday 5: March Madness

1. Self-Care is non-negotiable right now.

The past month or so has been full of energetic shifts, old stuff rising to the surface, emotional breakthroughs and a lot of tough stuff for so many of us (myself included).  And whenever that happens it’s imperative to take time to care for yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically.  Self-care is critical right now for us to not only process the healing that has been unfolding over the last few weeks, but to also keep ourselves empowered and healthy as we move forward into the future.  I’ve been getting lots of messages that this is a time for us to really “be” in the moment as much as possible and to care for ourselves in all ways.  Of course this goes for our physical bodies (sleeping, eating well, washing hands etc.) but also caring for our minds and energy too.  A shift is coming but for now, self-care is a non-negotiable. 

2. Upheaval=Up-level

This is just a reminder that when we see these massive upheavals happening in our individual lives or on a collective level it always leads to an up-level.  While it feels really challenging in the moment when our entire world feels like it’s being shaken upside down, the truth is we are actually expanding and evolving.  Through this process there are lots of lessons learned, transformation that is triggered, and change that is inspired that will ultimately take us to a better place.  It isn’t always easy to see it in the moment, but that’s where the power of belief comes in.  When you know the current chaos is leading you to something better, it helps to put things in perspective a bit. What are you learning through this upheaval?

3.  Mind your mind.  

Now more than ever we are seeing the effects of mass consciousness and how we are all connected.  Fear can be crippling and at times it causes us to get caught up in a loop of thought that doesn’t serve us or the world we live in.  So, while we currently have a concerning global issue we are all finding our way through, it’s critical to mind your mind.  Be mindful of what you are feeding your mind on a daily basis and try to balance the concern you may have with the beliefs that help you maintain balance, belief, and trust that all will be ok.  I know it’s a scary time, but one of the best things we can do right now is manage our minds and be intentional with our focus. 

4.  Your breakthrough is coming.

This is simply a reminder that no matter how long you’ve been on your journey and no matter how hard it may seem right now…your breakthrough is coming.  You may not always see it.  You may not always feel it in the moment, but trust and believe that your breakthrough is coming.  Life is always working out for us even (and especially) when it appears that it isn’t.  Things change quickly for the better so while things might feel a bit weird at the moment, know that your breakthrough is coming & it’s coming soon.  Hang in there.

5.  Together we rise.

Let’s never forget that we are part of a “collective” and there are many issues, challenges, problems and other things in the world that try to separate us, we are more powerful together than we are apart.  Human beings are not meant to go it alone.  We are communal beings and supporting one another, sharing, caring, and providing comfort is a key element of who we are.  Please don’t forget that.  I know there’s a lot of fear in the world right now and I’d be lying if I said I was immune to it, but the best way through it is to go through it together.  Remember friends…together we rise.

Things to come:

Over the last few weeks I’ve been feeling really inspired to open a MindPower Membership program and with everything going on right now…I realize why.  

So…next week I’ll be sharing the details about a preliminary 4-month membership program that will include monthly themes, mindset support, weekly trainings, open coaching calls, & more.  I’m still working out all the info, however if this is something you think you might be interested in, please send me a message here. 

Sending you tons of love, high vibes and peace today!

Listen up friends…it’s time for a change.

You know it, I know it and if your February was anything like mine…the Universe knows it BIG time.

So…if all that is true (and I believe it is), why aren’t you doing anything about it?

Why do you constantly and consistently fall back into the old, worn-out, seemingly comfortable way of doing things that you KNOW just isn’t working anymore?  Why?  

Because we are creatures of habit and we fear change.  But, you know what we fear MORE than change?  

Disappointment.

What if…you take the leap that’s been nudging at you for weeks & you still don’t get what you want?

What if…you make the investment and it turns out that wasn’t the ‘right’ move?

What if…you try again and still fall short of your goals?

What if...you believe, trust the process, and do all the mindset things I’m telling you and you still fail?

I get it.  I’ve been there.  I’ve had the same thoughts about my business, programs, and virtually every NEW thing I’ve ever done. 

But here’s how I see it.  If you’re looking to change your life, level-up or expand your experience you have to be willing to do something different and that often means getting out of your comfort zone.  That’s just how it works and it’s what you were MADE for.

The tale of two paths..

.
 You see…most of us have one very comfortable and predictable path we’ve traveled time and time and time again.  And while sometimes it produces success, a lot of time it produces the same roller coaster ride that only ever leads us to the same outcome we are desperate to change.  

But…we also have another path.  One that isn’t as clear cut or predictable and it’s the one we fear most because we don’t know what lies on the other side of each new step.  It’s new and uncomfortable as it calls us to do things we haven’t done before.  The outcome, however is something beyond your wildest imagination. 

So which path do YOU choose? 

Maybe you’re used to choosing the one that is more comfortable and predictable because that’s just the way things have been.  But, the beauty of this is life is that you always get to choose again & choose differently.

If you want a different outcome be it: more money, love, health, connection. joy, freedom or flow..you must choose the new path. 

Here’s the hard truth: Some of you won’t choose the other path & will remain stuck in your current predicament until you’re so fed up with yourself and over your own BS that you have no choice but to take the leap.

But for those of you who are READY today I challenge you to choose the other path TODAY, because honestly..

What do you have to lose?

The bigger question is what do you have to lose if you don’t choose it now?  And that’s a question only YOU can answer.  

If you’re ready to take the leap and you don’t want to do it alone…hit the link below and book your FREE 30-Minute Consultation. 

P.S.  Don’t forget to download your freebie- 25 Next-Level-Beliefs here. 

If you are feeling stuck & you’re over it then this message is for you. If you are reading this, you are likely ready for something new to emerge in your life whether it’s in your career, love life, friendships, finances, business or some other area. 

You know how I know that? 

It’s simply because you are HUMAN.

As human beings we are actually created to grow, evolve, and experience the magic and wonder that life has to offer.  Sure, it takes on a variety of shapes and sizes for us all because while there is so much about us that is alike, we all have our own preferences when it comes to what we want to be, have and do.

So…why is it that if we are meant to grow, evolve, and experience life so many of us stay stuck in the same old story feeling the same old way for weeks/months/years???

The simple answer is that many of us just don’t believe we can do the things we want to do OR we just don’t know how. 

For many people it presents as a mirage of “I’m not ready.” or “It’s not time.” or “I don’t have what it takes.”, but at the end of the day it often boils down to fear and resistance.  And because they’ve been there for entirely too long, they’ve somehow convinced themselves that all those things we want…they just can’t have.  Can you relate?

The truth is maybe you’ve just gotten far too comfortable in the discomfort of limited living. 

You see, while a deep part of you KNOWS you are meant to be, have, and do more in this life…there’s another part that is so distracted by what it feels and sees in the world around you that it keeps you stuck, playing small or worse…not playing at all.

It’s time to change all of that friends because this year isn’t just another year. 

It’s the beginning of a new decade that is begging you to step into and believe in your next-level, new-chapter, new-experience.  I put together a NEW free training just for you if you are sick of feeling stuck & are ready to step into your next-level freedom. It’s absolutely free & you can sign up for it below.

Happy Friday Friends!

Thanks to Mercury Retrograde making its first appearance if 2020, things have been a bit chaotic in my world which is why things have been a bit quiet on my end. (If Mercury Retrogrades are typically a bit crazy for you too and you’d like some guidance on how to best use the energy for this retrograde, grab your Mercury Retrograde Oracle Reading here.  These readings are crazy on point and I’ve got room for 4 more, so grab them while you can.)

The truth is, I can’t blame it all on Mercury as I’ve been going through some really interesting & powerful up-level moments that inspired today’s Friday 5: Coach Confessions.  Are you ready for this???

Friday 5: Coach Confessions

1. I’ve been living in Sabotage City!

No, it’s not a real place, but if it was I’d be living there.  The truth is, the past 6-8 months have been an interesting ride as I get closer and closer to “the big move” as I keep calling it.  The big move has created such a sense of anxiety in my mind that I’ve been sabotaging all over myself personally and it turns out professionally.  I’ve been on edge with my loved ones, a bit anxious about the future of my business and generally building up the momentum of doubt, fear, and worry.  It took a bit, but a few weeks ago, I finally realized what was going on and I started practicing what I preach…mindset, mindset & more mindset.

2. I’ve been playing small.

Yep, that’s right.  I am a coach and I realized recently that I’ve been playing small in a myriad of ways both personally and professionally.  I had somehow convinced myself that I “didn’t want” or “need” to reach to certain levels of success because of this, that or the other, but the truth is…I do want it, I just didn’t think I could have it. (Say what?!) After a bit of digging I realized it boiled down to responsibility.  If I reach a certain level, then I’ll be “responsible” for maintaining it and…what if I can’t?   Hello limiting belief! So, of course I started working on clearing that ugly thought from my mind with some EFT tapping and forgiveness two of my favorite tools. 

3.  My control freak flag was showing.  

I am a self-proclaimed recovering control freak and lately I’ve fallen off the wagon.  While in Sabotage City, an old part of me who *thinks* she knows everything has been grasping at straws trying to do all the things to *make* things fall into place…you can probably guess how that has worked out for me.  So, I’ve been meditating & letting go more and funny enough I’ve been hit with a ton of inspiration for what to do & how to move forward. #winning

4.  I let fear drive the bus. 

I have a little gremlin (aka fear) that likes to try and drive the bus (aka my mind) and convince me of all the crazy things that *could* go wrong on this journey.  Most of the time, I’m good at keeping the little gremlin at bay, but honestly with so much going on the last few months, I’ve let him drive more than I care to admit.  I don’t know if I will ever get rid of him entirely, but I’m happy to say for the moment, I’m driving the bus and boy does it feel good!

5.  I forgot who I was…temporarily.

With all the fear, worry, control and doubt swirling around in my head, I completely forgot who I am and why I’m here.  I forgot that I am limitless and that I get to be, have and do what I choose (spoiler alert: so do you!) AND that all of this is happening simply because I’m ready for the NEXT-LEVEL.  Yes…I forgot momentarily that all of these challenges have been part of a bigger process that we all experience from time-to-time and it’s actually a good thing.  It just means we have an opportunity to expand and level-up in new and exciting ways.  I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for it. 

So…why am I confessing **all the things** to you today??

Honestly it’s for a couple reasons. 

1.  I want you to know coaches go through it too.  You are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you. 

2.  The other reason is because I want to use it as a teaching opportunity.  Most (if not all) of my struggles lead me to some sort of revelation & realization that I am inspired to share & this is no different.

Everything I’ve been going through is because I’m ready to create & cultivate my next-level life and I want to share some of my top tips and strategies on how to do just that…with you!

So…mark your calendars for Wed. February 26th at 8pm EST because I am hosting a FREE Masterclass to share what I’ve learned through this process as well as provide you some specific steps to take, practices to put into place & pitfalls to avoid if you too are looking to create your next-level-life.  Sound good?

If you’d like to join me LIVE for the call, make sure you get on the list here.   

Well that’s it for this week’s edition of your Friday 5. I hope this week’s highlights have been helpful for you!   

Can you relate to any of my confessions?  Comment below and let me know!

After last week’s message where I shared my recent concerns regarding some big changes happening in 2020, I heard a little voice in the back of my head say…you’re ready enough.

I had to laugh because this happens quite often and it’s always exactly the message I need to hear.  (It’s also a direct result of the incredible mindset work I commit to on a daily basis and why you too should be doing your mindset work regularly.)

Even though I’m a coach, I’m also human and I come equipped with my fair share of fear, anxiety and worry over the future and life in general.  Thankfully, I don’t have as much as I used to, but it still pops up and just about every time it does, that little voice saves me. 

It reminds me of who I am and always provides me with the exact insight I need to clear my head and step back into flow.  I’m not going to lie, it’s a pretty amazing tool to have, but alas if you don’t have “the voice” just yet…allow me to be it for a moment.

“You’re ready enough.“

You’re more than ready enough to be, have and do the things you truly desire and all those alleged “reasons” you can’t/shouldn’t/aren’t ready to do it just aren’t true.

Do you have all the answers to all the questions that lie ahead on your path? No, but you don’t have to. 

Do you have the turn-by-turn map so you will always be 5 steps ahead on your journey? No, but you don’t have to.

Do you know how to clear all the blocks that may come up along the way? No, but you don’t have to.

Do you have all the money you will ever need to invest in all the things that will help you along the way? No, but you don’t have to. 

Do you see the theme here? 

You don’t have to know all the things ahead of time.  Trust me when I say you will learn most of what you need to know while you are already on your way forward.  Which means you have to take the action to begin FIRST and allow the actual “step” to appear.  

You have to make the first move, take action and decide that you are committed to being, having and doing what your heart desires and then simply follow the next step and the next. 

If you are like me, you probably want a bit more of a solid plan that just “following the next step”.  I mean, what does that even mean anyway?

It means you have to TRUST the process, step out on faith and follow the little nudges and inspired thoughts that will pop up for you over and over again.  

I know, it sounds like a bit of hippy-dippy hogwash and I’d probably feel the same way if I hadn’t proven that it works time and time again.  But the thing is…it works. 

When you decide that you are going to make your dreams, desires, or intentions a reality AND you take that first step to make it happen…magic literally unfolds in ways you never thought possible. 

But you have to take that first step…and the next….and the next. 

Before long, you will have taken so many incredible steps out of pure faith and trust that it’s simply how you live your life.  It becomes how you do everything. 

–>Looking for a place to live? Tune in and follow the nudge.
–>Need a babysitter? Tune in and follow the nudge.
–>Ready for a new client? Tune in and follow the nudge.
–>Time to find your life purpose? Tune in and follow the nudge. 

Yep…it’s just how it works.  And no, it’s not always “easy” at first especially if you are like me a maybe a bit stubborn when it comes to the idea of trust and ease, but it’s 1000% worth learning how to do.

And just like anything else you learn, it takes practice.

So yes…..

You are ready enough. 
 

It’s time to do it already. 

P.S.  If you’ve been trying to trust the process, follow your intuition and do all the things on your own and it still feels like it’s just not working, it might be time for some support. Let’s dive into your desires and unlock the ease and flow that comes from clearing the muck and trusting the process.  

I’ve got **3** spots open for 1:1 coaching in February.  Interested? Let’s book a FREE 30-Minute Consultation to chat.
