Picture this…

A twenty something woman sitting in her home office in tears (again) because she has no idea how she’s going to make ends meet this month.  She has zero clients, prospects, or ideas for what to do next and quite frankly she’s sick and tired of this constant cycle of stuck, lack, and anxiety she’s been living for what seems like eternity. 

She’s tired of the struggle because deep down she knows this is supposed to be different. 

She’s frustrated with her journey because she can’t quite figure out what she’s missing.

She’s angry with herself because she doesn’t know what she doesn’t know & things just keep getting worse.

And honestly, she’s pretty peeved with the Universe for leading her on in thinking she could do this to begin with.  What was she thinking?  She’s never been a person to succeed in this way before.  She doesn’t come from a background of ease in any form or fashion.  In fact, struggle is all she’s ever known so why should this be any different?   

I want to tell you that in little to no time she turned her situation around and was able to find ease and success in her journey, but that’s not exactly how it happened. 

You see, if you haven’t guessed it already the “she” in this story is me and the truth is, it took another year or two of struggle as my normal before I truly understood HOW to create a new normal and what exactly I needed to think, believe and do in order to create lasting change in my work. 

Don’t get me wrong, I desperately wanted and needed a new reality, but deep down there was a part of me that didn’t expect it. 

I was so incredibly committed to the story of struggle in my life that even though some part of me believed I was meant for more, there was a bigger part of me that was sabotaging my efforts. 

The more I do this work, the more I realize I’m not alone in this and that it may be the biggest thing that keeps so many people from accomplishing their dreams, goals and intentions, especially around this time of year.

Is this happening for you too? 

Are you struggling with the same goals/intentions/desires from last year?

You may not be experiencing the exact situation in business, but maybe you’re struggling to see the changes you want to see in other areas. 

–>Maybe it’s showing up in your finances and limiting your financial flow.

–>Maybe it’s showing up in your love life & blocking your connection with potential partners.

–>Maybe it’s showing up in your health arena and sabotaging your commitment to lasting change.

However it may be showing up for you, I want you to know that there is hope.  You don’t have to stay in the cycle of struggle or sabotage forever. 

In fact, I’m here to teach you what I had to figure out on my own in terms of how to intentionally create a new normal that I actually wanted. 

Real talk: Your normal becomes the filter through which your thoughts, beliefs, actions and habits flow. 

So, if you don’t like what you’re seeing as your “norm”, it’s time to make some changes ASAP and this is the answer.

Are you ready to make 2020 the year you allow success, abundance, love, joy, and expansion to be your new normal?

Happy Friday & Happy New Year!!

I know we are a week into the year and this is the first time you’ve heard from me and for very good reason!  I was pretty sick over the last few weeks and am just finally getting back on track with all the things.  Luckily I also have a lot of fun things to share with you today so let’s dive right in. 

Before we get to today’s Friday 5, I want to make sure you know about a couple of things…

1.  If you haven’t grabbed the 2019 Year-end Masterclass you can do so HERE.

2.  Monday I will be sharing all the details about the NEW group program that will set you up for success in 2020.  So if you’ve been looking for some guidance, support and accountability to get you excited for a new year and a new decade make sure you open your email Monday because I’ll have some fun bonus info there for you too! I am so excited!!!
With that said let’s get into this week’s Friday 5…

_____________________________________________________________________________

1.  Be easy. This is the time of year when we are all setting big visions for what we want to create in the new year and all the changes we are going to make.  And to be honest, most of us try to do too much, too fast and we end up failing at most of it. (I’m talking to myself too.) As I was thinking about this in my own life, I thought…why not be a bit easy on myself?  Instead of diving in to do “all the things” at once, why not layer the new habits in bit-by-bit in order to give them a better chance of sticking?  

As it turns out this is what I’ve done with my business, mindset practice and my workout regime so I know it works!  If this is something you’re struggling with this is your invitation to be easy with yourself.  Choose one or two things to focus on first and be easy about it all.  And if you want specific details on how to layer it in so you can be successful make sure you check out (and sign up for) the program I’m dropping on Monday.  I’m going to walk you through how do to that with new habits AND your mindset.  

2. “It’s just you against you.”  I wish I could say this is my own quote, but it’s not.  Over the holidays I ended up watching the movie Creed and this was one of the quotes that hit me to my core because it’s so true. 

In whatever we are doing in life…it’s truly only US against US.  Meaning it’s us agains our mindset, beliefs, habits, actions, thoughts, etc.  So when you think about what you want to be, have and do…it really only boils down to YOU.  That is both an empowering and maybe scary thing to consider depending on how you see it.  I choose to see it as empowering because I know that it’s up to ME to do the things I want to do in this life and it’s all within my control if I’m focused on my mindset and beliefs and the same is true for you.  (And yes, if you need help with this, check out the info that drops on Monday because we are going to address this too!)  

3.  Love it all.  One of the messages that came up multiple times in December was that everything that happens to us and around us is for a reason and the more we resist it, the longer it lingers.  The message “love it all” kept popping up in various readings, videos, and messages I was receiving about all kinds of things in my life including being sick. 

What I’ve learned is that when you “love it all” you’re no longer in resistance.  Instead, you are allowing and accepting “what is” and when that is combined with a focus and belief in what you desire to come it tends to speed things up.  The momentum of the “problem” slows down and the “solution” is able to emerge.  And if you are loving the good stuff already, well more good stuff comes.  It’s a win/win!  

4.  Write new rules for your life.  This message came up in two client calls this week and so I’m sharing it with you.  Most of us have some unwritten “rules” that we live by in our lives that have likely been passed down by society, family members or experiences we’ve had in our lives.  Over time these rules become so ingrained we don’t even realize how they may limit our lives. 

This is your reminder that you get to write new rules for your life.  You get to be a successful mother/wife/entrepreneur if you choose.  You also get to be a first time published author at the age of 65 if you choose.  You GET TO choose what you want and you can have it too.  I invite you to spend some time thinking about the unwritten rules you’ve been living by that are no longer serving you and rewrite them.  You get to choose!

5.  Ask, receive, follow.  This week has been full of a lot of “stuff” to say the least and one of the big messages I got was a three part process to move forward in our lives.  It’s pretty simple and you may have heard it before, but Thursday I experienced a massive message in just how powerful (and quick) this process is.  

–> Ask.  Ask for help, support, guidance and solutions.  You can ask the Universe, guides, angels etc. It doesn’t matter what you call it as long as you are clear that it’s for your highest good, simply use something that works best for you and ask for support.

–> Receive.  Once you ask, you must be open to the guidance you receive because you will receive it.  The key here is not to discount anything.  Songs, messages, repeating numbers, phone calls, books, quotes etc.  Be open to the message and receive it.

–> Follow.  Follow the guidance you’ve been given.  Sometimes there isn’t a specific action to take when you receive guidance, and in those cases you can simply say thank you and recognize that you’ve received confirmation of your ask.  When you do receive a message to act…follow it as soon as you can.  

The truth is we are always being guided in this life and we have so many opportunities to receive guidance, support and love that we need.  All we have to do is ask, be open to receive it and take action as we feel called to. That’s how miracles are born friends.  

So there you have it friends!  Your first Friday 5 of 2020!  

Remember to check your emails on Monday because I’ve got something BIG coming your way.

If you are looking for some support, guidance accountability and clear action steps to create the best start for 2020 and you think this group program might be for you send me a message here and I’ll send you the details and an opportunity for a fun bonus if you choose to sign up. <—Secret squirrel stuff!

Happy New Year Friends!

While it’s still technically very early in 2020, it seems much of the world is flying high with the whole New Year, New You vibe.    To be honest…it’s one of my favorite times of year because of all the big goal setting, visioning, and excitement that a new year brings. 

But the thing I see most often from people year-after-year with all this New Year, New Me talk is that most people don’t do anything differently. 

Sure, in January they might go to the gym a few more times, drink more water, floss their teeth, vow to be more productive, do a social media detox or create a spreadsheet outlining their debt to be paid off, but after a few weeks or even days…they fall off track and forget about the changes they wanted to make to begin with.  And instead of getting back on track, they feel like a failure and quit altogether.

The more I got to thinking about this, the more I realized that during this time of year, most people are simply trying to change their actions/behaviors without ever really considering what lies behind and beneath those behaviors…aka mindset.

Truthbomb: A clean slate is only as good as the plans put into action to create actual change.

And friends, it has to be more than you just changing what you “do”…you must also change how you think.  This is why I say over and over again that “Mindset is everything when it comes to anything.”

Think about it…

• Your spending habits aren’t random…they are connected to your beliefs about money.

• Your repetitive relationship challenges aren’t random…they are tied to your beliefs about self-worth/love etc.

• Your view of life/business/work/health/wealth and all the things aren’t random…they are all tied to your beliefs aka your mindset. 

So, as you begin thinking about the changes you want to make in your life for 2020, my invitation and suggestion to you is to remember the mindset component of change in addition to the “action” items. 

When you transform your mindset habits and your action habits together, you create a power and flow that is unstoppable.  

I want you to be unstoppable in 2020 so I have opened FOUR 1:1 spots to help you put the mindset & action pieces together to kick off the year with a bang. Interested?

I’ve been thinking a lot about life priorities and how often they can get screwed up as we move through the hustle and bustle of every day life.

We are often so focused on getting to the next thing or avoiding the struggle and challenges that we rarely stop and ask ourselves…is this even what I want???

• Is this the life you wanted to create?
• Is this all there is for you?
• Is this where you want to be?

If not, I’ve got good news for you…you still have time to make a change.

No matter where you are or what you are dealing with right now, YOU have an opportunity to shift the story and choose again.

I don’t believe in wrong choices, bad decisions or mistakes. I think we are all on this incredible journey with connecting paths that lead us one way or another, but because they are all connected we very rarely can get it “wrong”.

All you have to do is this…

1. Get super clear on what you DO want…and let me invite you to look at what you want to be, have, do, and more importantly FEEL in your life as you move forward. Where is your journey headed and what amazing stops along the way are you looking for?

2. Make some changes TODAY (not tomorrow or next week) that will help you choose again. Keep making those changes and remember what it is that you actually want.

Momentum is key so you absolutely MUST keep that energy alive as you move forward. Start by making small changes/choices every single day and I promise the journey will not only get easier, but it will be incredibly rewarding too!

I have a story to share with a little nugget of wisdom I hope will help you look at your life and the things you are doing in a new way for the upcoming new year.

So, this past weekend my family and I were busy cleaning up our front yard in preparation for putting up our Christmas decorations (lights, icicles, blow-up Santa…all the fun stuff).  My wife got started early before anyone else had gotten up and when I went out to join her she was using a handy little device that sucks up all the leaves like a vacuum.

Now, this isn’t the first time I’d seen this tool.  We actually bought it many years ago when we had a much larger yard, but we hadn’t used it since then.  The more I thought about it, the more I realized we had actually cleaned/cleared the yard the “hard” way for the last 5-6 years even though we had this magical tool in the garage that would cut our yard work in half.

 
But why???

Logically it didn’t make sense, but then I remembered how this magical tool functions as a sort of vacuum as well as a leaf blower.  In order to make it transform into a vacuum, you have to use another attachment, including the bag.  And here’s where it gets interesting…

I assumed putting the new attachment on would be difficult to do so instead of figuring it out, I kept doing things the “hard” way because in my mind it seemed the “easiest”.

The more I thought about this concept and how silly it sounds (I mean we are talking yard work here), I realized there were lots of other ways this has shown up in my life.  

• When I first started my business, I was determined to figure it all out by myself (even though it was hard) because I thought it would be far more difficult to get support.

• When I created my website, it was a bit of a piecemeal creation I did alone because I thought it would be far too hard or damn near impossible for me to afford to have someone do it for me.

There are many other examples, but it all boils down to me limiting myself in a BIG way based on inaccurate thoughts, beliefs and assumptions.

Are you doing things the hard way simply because it seems the easiest for you?

Sometimes getting to the ‘easy’ way is a matter of following the nudge of your intuition, asking for support, or asking ‘how’ you can afford to be/have/do whatever it is you are seeking. 

No matter how you get to the “easy” way the first step is understanding that there is indeed an easy or easier way of getting to what you want/desire.  (If you follow Abraham-Hicks, they call this the path of least resistance.)

So my question to you today is this..
What are you allowing to get in your way? 

What thought, belief, fear, assumption etc. is in the way of YOU getting to the path of least resistance for all that you desire?

Whatever, it is…isn’t it time you took care of it?  Aren’t you tired of always doing things the ‘hard’ way?  

I don’t know about you but I’m welcoming all the ease, grace and flow that life has to offer me in 2020 and beyond because why not?  

Sure, the “hard” way still works, but I assure you it takes a lot more time and energy to get to where you are going than if you opened yourself up to the easier way. 

So that’s it for my little nugget of wisdom today.  I hope it is helpful for you as you move forward on your path!  Remember, lessons can come up in even the most peculiar of places if you’re open to it. 

Stay open friends and welcome in the EASE that life has to offer you!

P.S. If you are looking for support to make things a bit easier for you as we enter into 2020 I’ve got some exciting things coming up you might be interested in including a….FREE end of year masterclass, new group program for visioning, accountability, coaching in January & a special 2020 in depth oracle reading opportunity.  <—More info coming!!
