My Money Story…

March 13, 2015 by Lamisha

One of my favorite things to talk about with my clients and my tribe is money and how to manifest more.

It doesn’t come from some selfish, greedy obsession with money and all it can do, but instead comes from my desire to teach and share what I have learned in my own life.  So, today I’m sharing with you my money story.  The story of how I have managed to change my thoughts about money to not only manifest more abundance, but also to feel more free no matter how much money I have.

It’s been a journey and I am still working my way through it, but my hope is that by sharing my story with you, that it will help shift your mindset around money.

A little about my past…

I grew up in a single parent household with my siblings and a mother who worked non-stop and sometimes multiple jobs to just to make ends meet.  We had what we needed for the most part and didn’t go without for the most part, but it was a stretch and I was keenly aware of how tight money was.

When I was old enough to make my own money, I immediately got a job…well actually two.  I had seen my mom work hard and I thought that was just what you needed to do to make ends meet.  That belief followed me through college and into the corporate world where I got my first ‘real’ job.

I worked my day job and immediately picked up a second (and third) job on the side.  Seems crazy right?  Who needs 3 jobs when you are essentially living with hand me downs and have a roommate?

I’ll tell you who…a woman who had a lack mindset and who thought that in order to survive you had to work really, really hard.

It didn’t matter how much money I made, I always felt like it wasn’t enough and with that thought process it wasn’t.  I created situations (unknowingly) that would cause me to barely make ends meet no matter how much I was making.

I created my money reality based on my money story.  The story I told myself and that I learned growing up that making money was hard.

It wasn’t until I really began working on my mindset around money that I started to see the truth about money (and all things).  Money is just a form of energy and when we believe we are lacking in abundance and that ‘there’s never enough’, then we attract those situations that prove that to us.  The ‘never enoughness’ doesn’t go away.  We have to work at it.

And boy was I ready to work on it…or win $15 million dollars whichever came first.

In addition to studying the art of manifesting using the Law of Attraction (which I did very well with and manifested almost $5000 within a few weeks), I also stumbled upon various teachers that help with money mindset.

The one that changed everything for me was Denise Duffield-Thomas.  If you don’t know her, you need to!  She is a money mindset teacher, guru, and all around amazing women that teaches women how to shift the underlying money stuff we all have going on.

Don’t think you need a mindset shift around money?  We all have a money story, have you looked at yours lately?

Answer these for me.

Do you ever feel like there isn’t enough?

Feel jealous or frustrated because others have more than you?

Think rich people are ‘greedy’ or ‘selfish’?

Blame other people for your money stuff?

Are you not sure where your money goes each month and always feel like you are in the hole?

If you said yes to even one of the questions above, you could use a mindset shift.  And let’s be completely honest here…who couldn’t use a little (or a lot) extra money in their pocket?

Life is meant to be enjoyed and experienced and loved.  Money allows us to do just that and when you open your mind to how money can flow, clear the mindset blocks that are in the way, life is amazing.

What if you could manifest money in 24 hours or less?  You can with this awesome recording from Denise Duffield-Thomas.  This is the tool that got me hooked on Denise and set the stage for me to enroll in her Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp.  Seriously it’s a life (and money) changing experience that has been one of the biggest catalysts for change in how I think and feel about money.

(Disclaimer, I am an affiliate of Denise’s program and I assure you I only promote and share programs I truly believe in.)

And I can tell you from experience that when you make the investment in changing your life, you get back way more than you invested.

The number 1 biggest shift I have made that has shifted everything for me financially as been my mindset.  What I now know about money is this…

Money and abundance is everywhere.  It doesn’t require as much blood, sweat, and tears as we believe and it can come with ease and grace.  The moment we settle back, relax, trust, and take inspired action doing what we love and following our hearts, the easier it flows.  It’s a resource and we are ALL entitled to money, not just a few lucky people, but it is up to us to shift our mindsets in order to make room for the money.

So, I ask you…what are you willing to shift?

If you want more information about how to shift your mindset and maybe even how to manifest more, check out the Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp.  If you are looking for more tips and manifesting tricks overall, stay tuned because on March 23rd, I am opening registration again for the Magical Manifesting program that starts April 5th.

Life Upheaval = An Opportunity to Up-level

March 10, 2015 by Lamisha

So, life’s been pretty…interesting lately.

There have been moments when everything feels in alignment, on purpose, and totally flowing and other times where it feels like the ground I am standing on is shifting under my feet.

It’s an interesting place to be since each feeling is totally different than the other, but it’s also a feeling I know well, though often forget.

I’m seeing this happen in many of my friend’s and client’s lives too.  Life feels so overwhelming and things feel like they are coming apart at the seams.  Perfectly laid plans are crumbling and it feels like we are being forced to purge so many beliefs, fears, and even physical stuff.

I’m no astrologer, but I totally believe in the power of the planets and their alignment and it feels like this life upheaval is a Universal affair.

Lucky us.

From some of my favorite spiritual teachers and intuitives, I am hearing that this is an opportunity for us to release what no longer serves us and welcome in new opportunities and new energies.  Makes sense right?  We are getting so close to Spring and this is similar to a life Spring cleaning.

I’ve felt this type of thing before.  As I said, it’s not new to me at all as I have had several big life upheavals that have opened the door to more living, learning, growing, and ultimately new opportunities.

The life upheaval can show up in a variety of ways-losing a job, moving cross country, or even just little disagreements and blow outs with friends and family.  I’ve done all of these in various times in my life and they all have lead to new opportunities.

Here’s how I see it.

We have moments in our lives when we are moving right along with no worries.  There are changes we need to make, but we don’t make them because things are running fairly smoothly and it often isn’t until life forces us to make that change or take action that we finally oblige.

This is something similar.  As we continually move through life there are life experiences we want to make and in order to manifest them, we have to level up our energy.  Doing so often means we have to release and let go of the baggage that is holding us back.  This can come in the form of physical things like clothes, shoes, old books, papers etc. or in the form of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and memories that are ready to be processed.

If you are feeling a similar life upheaval I want you to know this…

You are NOT crazy and this process IS leading you to bigger, better things.  Things that you WANT in your life. I promise.

My last big life upheaval came in the form of me losing my full-time employment which was scary and frustrating, but it led me to be able to do what I love full-time.

Before that, my wife got assigned to a new military base and we had to find a home and move 9 hours away from where we previously lived, but that led us to amazing new friends, new opportunities, and our beautiful home.

The best thing you can do during moments like these is go with the flow and feel the feelings (or as I like to call them the feels) that come along with the changes.  Be open to the changes and move through them with a curious mind and open heart. 

I’ve also found journaling, meditation, EFT, and connecting with friends and coaches can be very helpful.

You are getting ready to experience some amazing growth unlike any other!  Shine baby shine!

If you are looking for some support around the upheaval that is happening for you right now, reach out and schedule a free 30-Minute consultation and let’s have a chat.  I’d love to help support you and help you shine baby shine!

I’m Afraid to Tell You This…

February 20, 2015 by Lamisha

There have been many moments in the last 2 years when I’ve wanted to share something with you but have been afraid of what you might think.  I’ve held back and decided it might not be the right time or a good idea for fear of how it might change what you think of me.

But, I know I’m not doing you or myself any favors by not sharing the not so happy parts of my journey and as I was thinking over the last few months, I realized it’s time to share this with you.

I’ve been afraid to tell you about the 5-month period in 2014 when I thought I was going to have to close my business and give up on my dream.  It was something I never thought I would do, but there were moments when I didn’t think I had a choice.

Lucky for me, I did.

From May – September last year, I struggled to make my business work.  I had a handful of clients and the number was slowly dwindling down to almost nothing.  But it wasn’t just that,  I was struggling with something far worse…my identity.

I knew I wanted to coach.  I knew I was meant for this work and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was my path.  The problem came when I couldn’t quite figure out what I wasn’t doing ‘right’ in order to make my business thrive.

Looking back it became completely clear:  I was allowing others to be my guru instead of listening to my intuition.

In fact, it got so bad at one point, I was questioning my skills, my coaching, and my dream of helping other women make their dream a reality.

On more than one night I cried out of fear, worry, and pure disappointment that somehow my entire path was being thrown off and I had somehow missed the mark.  What was true was I had missed the mark, but it wasn’t in my path, it was by allowing someone else to throw me off it.

My heart and soul knew exactly what I needed to do, but I didn’t trust it.  I allowed certain mentors and coaches lead the way because I was so new to it all, I thought they knew everything.  And the truth is, they did…for their own path, but not for mine.

It took 5 months of desperation, fear, and distracted worry to lead me back to what I set out to do in the beginning…change lives.

It took many tearful nights and a whole lot of doubt for me to get to a space of clarity to see that yes I did know how to make things happen and I could listen to that inner voice inside that was telling me all along it would all work out.

Turns out she’s pretty smart.

Looking back on those moments, I am so glad I didn’t give up.  I’m glad that I reached out to the right mentors that didn’t tell me what to do or try to convince me to do it their way.

I found people that would support me in my vision, who believed in me, and helped me tap into that power deep inside that helped me stay the course and not give up.

Did they question me when I became too fearful to fly?

Yes, but out of love and the desire to see me soar.  But what they did for me more than anything else is remind me that above all else, I have to follow my heart-the very thing I teach all of my clients.

You see coaching isn’t about leading you in one direction or another or telling you how to do something.  It’s a co-creative journey that when done well, will lead you back to the power you have had all along to create the amazing life of your dreams.  Coaching is about clarifying your desires, uncovering your fears and other blocks, and empowering you in a way that reminds you, anything is possible.

I learned early on with the right support, you can make anything happen and it’s exactly why I do what I do.

After those scary 5 months of uncertainty, I now stand taller and more proud of my decisions because I know I am making them from the heart and honestly, there is nothing better.

0001-23099893If you have a dream that you aren’t ready to let go of and you need someone to support you along the way, I have 2 spots left in my Breakthrough program for February before my rates increase March 1st.  Now is the time to make the commitment to yourself and the dream that has been following you for years. Are you ready to take that next step? If so, I invite you to sign up for a free 30-Minute Consultation to chat about how I might be able to help you.  If I am not the right coach for you, I promise to help you find one that is.

The Truth About Living the Life of Your Dreams

February 12, 2015 by Lamisha

When I talk about living the life of your dreams, it comes with a certain spark and twinkle about what may be.  Having a beautiful life full of amazing people, love, abundance, joy, and for me a career that I adore doing what I love.  But, something I don’t often talk about is the not so sparkly stuff…you know the ‘life’ stuff.

I may have set up a pre-conceived notion that when you finally attain the life of your dreams then life is nothing but rainbows and sunshine.  That money flows, your health is amazing, and your love life-well it’s better than ever before.  And while yes that may be part of your story, it’s not all made up of rainbows and sunshine.

The truth is…shit happens.

I was reminded of this fact just last week.

My internet was down, my modem died, my dryer wasn’t working properly, and I ended up late to a client appointment because I mis-read my schedule…all on the same day.

The old me would have pitched a fit, complained, and made an annoying situation even worse by turning it into a bad day.

The new-growing-living-and-learning-me responded differently.

I handled all of the glitches with as much ease as I could and then I took the rest of the day off.

I like to think that I am living the life of my dreams.  I am doing work I love, from home, and I have a beautiful family that I love with all my heart.  Sure I have new goals and big things I want to accomplish this year and I know I will, but for now, I’m happy.

The difference between my pre-dream life living and now is that I used to allow my outer circumstances dictate how I think and feel about everything. 

I am growing in that way because now I don’t do that nearly as often.  Sure, there are times when I forget and have a moment or two where my vision is blurred and I react as opposed to respond to life, but I am still learning.

So, why am I telling you all this?

I’m telling you because there are SO many wonderful changes that come with living the life of your dreams aside from the ‘stuff’.  Your mental shifts are worth more than the money, the house, the car, the job etc.  Your mental shifts are incidentally what help you create the life of your dreams and help you when shit happens afterward.

In addition to ‘having it all’, you will:

  • Learn to respond to life in a loving way
  • Enjoy life so much more even with the ups and downs
  • Know that when shit happens, it doesn’t last forever
  • Be the example for others to do the same

And when I think back to those very important details about living this life, I find them to be far more valuable than the ‘stuff’.

There is so much to be gained in living the life of your dreams and if you aren’t currently living a life you love, what are you willing to change?

0001-23099893I currently have 2 spots left in my Breakthrough Program for February!  This is my signature program that will not only shift your mindset, but help you create the life you’ve always wanted.  If you’ve been thinking about how to take the next step toward your dream life, this is it!

Schedule your 30-Minute Consultation today to see if we are a good fit.  I look forward to connecting with you!

Don’t Let Your Scotoma Kill Your Dreams

January 27, 2015 by Lamisha

There is an epidemic going on in the world and every single person reading this is affected.

I’m not talking about war or the epic flu that has been going around, I’m talking about something that in the world of magic, miracles & manifesting the life of your dreams, is far more deadly.

Your scotoma.

Sounds a bit like a disease, but instead of affecting your body, this affects your mindset and is deadly when it comes to you creating and enjoying the life you have always wanted.

Scotoma: a spot in the visual field in which vision is absent or deficient.  

(The Merriam-Webster definition)

So what does this definition of a visual blind spot have to do with your dreams? The easy answer is everything.

You see, so many times I chat with amazing women like yourself who have equally amazing dreams to create a life that works for them and brings them joy.  They are ready and willing to venture into uncharted territory and will begin taking steps to make big waves in the world and then BAM-their Scotoma shows up and causes them to retreat.

But the thing is they don’t SEE it.  It’s a silent but deadly killer in the world of your dreams and you very rarely see it coming.

You can be moving along happily with your plans, inspiration, joy, and passion until one day everything feels like it’s crumbling around you.

Your confidence flies out the window, you wonder why or how you ever started and you are triggered left and right.

Doubt, fear, and insecurities settle in and you begin to retreat, trying to fit into the comfortable and safe box that you just left.

But the box is broken and you no longer have a space there..so the only way to keep moving forward is to identify the scotoma (aka blind spot that blind sided you on your path) and to shift the shit so you can reset your mindset and be on your merry way.

So, how do you identify this thing that can’t be seen but has the power to throw you off your game faster than you could get your dream off the ground? By seeking the help of an expert.

The truth is you are too close to see what exactly needs shifting.  The gremlins in your mind are playing tricks on you and your Ego is negotiating with you so you will continue to play small, but you know something has to shift.

You may not know what it is, but you know that a change needs to be made.  It’s time to clear up your vision, shift the shit that needs shifting, and to send you onward on your path.

Lucky for you, I’m not only a master shit-shifter, but I am also a scotoma-ologist (if there were ever such a thing.)

I have a vantage point unlike any other and am able to help you see the thing that is holding you back and when you see how small it can be (sometimes the size of a splinter) and how easy it is to shift it for you, you will wonder why you couldn’t see it to begin with.

You will have better focus, more inspiration, and confidence in your abilities to create and craft the life of your dreams.  And the next time you find yourself sliding off your game, you will be better equipped to locate the culprit.

Creating & manifesting the life of your dreams isn’t an exact science and there isn’t a how-to guide because we are all different.

There are bumps, hurdles, and curves that we each must move through because there is a lesson in each one.  A lesson that we will build upon as we continue to grow and until you are able to shift it, change it and rearrange your mindset, you won’t be able to stand fully in your power.

But, you don’t have to go through those lessons alone, in fact that’s not how we are built.  We are here to help one another.  To encourage, uplift, share, and when it’s needed shift the shit that is holding you back. That’s what I want to do for you.

Got shit that needs shifting? I’ve got a Free 30-Minute Consultation with your name on it and an opportunity for you to work with me in a new way not yet listed on my website.  It’s an intro-offer set aside just for those that want help with their mindset junk. Interested?

Let’s chat!
