I realized the clients I work with are in one of three phases of creating the life or biz of their dreams. I want to know what phase YOU are in. Share in the comments below and let me know what you are planning on doing to move to the next phase.
Do you know someone who might benefit from this? Feel free to forward and share this video for more to see. 🙂
Being a coach, I am not exempt from life lessons and major breakthroughs that I help my clients through and this past week has been a pretty big week for me. Not only am I stepping more into who I really am as a business owner and coach, but also who I am as a wife, a mother, and all the other shoes I fill. It’s both liberating and sometimes downright scary to look at all the things I am doing in my life and where I want to be. I stand in awe as I look how far I have come and am amazed at the progress while still looking ahead to everything that I want to do.
I wanted to take a moment to share with you my recent life lessons and ‘aha’ moments that have come from my conversations with clients and my dear spiritual soul sisters who have shared their amazing gifts with me. I hope that by reading this you are able to identify with some (if not all) of the lessons and feel your own transformation and healing begin to take place.
I hope that my recent breakthroughs and life lessons resonate with you and open your eyes to your very own blissful breakthroughs. The more I grow, learn, and evolve, the more I realize life is a series of lessons that further uncover our greatness, beauty, and purpose.
May you have a bit of fun, recognize your own brilliance and light, take a few risks, dream big, and ask for help from the amazing and always loving Universe today and always. Things are changing and life is too good to stay in one place and play small. Reach beyond your comfort zone daily and expand into every corner of your greatness and watch as your life transforms into the most amazing ride you never thought possible.
Sending you lots of love,
Lamisha
The other day I had a personal breakthrough and ‘aha’ moment that resulted in me writing the post below on Facebook with a promise to write a full post on what it really means today.
“I know now more than any other time in my life it is imperative for you to live the most authentic life possible. BE you, EMBRACE who you are, LOVE yourself for ALL that you are, and above all else, be true to you. Don’t be afraid of what others might think or feel or believe about you. It’s not their life, it’s yours. Live it, love it, and encourage others to do the same!”
Part of the work I do involves not only getting to know many clients on a very personal level, but it also forces me to take stock in who I truly am. It allows me to learn, grow, and evolve with each interaction and the most recent evolution has led me to share with you a bit more about who I am.
When I began my business, I thought I had to be ‘business-like’. I compared myself to others and attempted to some degree to emulate their practices and systems. I wanted to be successful and since I was new to the business/coaching game, I opened myself up to learn as much as I could. Even while I was telling my clients to create their own paths and forge ahead fearlessly without having the path laid before them, I was looking in the wrong places for mine. I was walking in circles avoiding the one true path that was my own, the path I am sharing with you now for fear it would scare people away. I thought that by sharing my true essence I would scare away potential clients, business partners, and friends that have known me for years.
So what is all this about? What is the my true essence and who is Lamisha Serf?
I am a freedom seeker, lover of life, and a sharer of light and love. I believe we are all meant to have a blissful experience while we are alive and part of that means finding our true calling, purpose, and passion. Life is about growing, evolving, and stepping into our true power, not just physically but spiritually too and before I lose some of you, I am not necessarily talking religiously.
If you were to categorize me you might categorize me as a hippy, hippy-dippy, or a bit woo-woo and as a dear friend so eloquently put it the other day, “Call it woo-woo if you simply like to call spiritual things woo-woo. But if you call it woo-woo because you think it’s weird, I suggest finding a new term. That’s mis-using woo-woo!”-Torrie Pattillo of Holistic Voyage
I use woo-woo as a positive thing meaning all things spiritual. I meditate, use crystals, read books about metaphysics, psychics, and so much more. I pray to the Divine, use affirmations, study the Law of Attraction, set my intentions, and practice gratitude. I have friends and clients who are holistic coaches, intuitive healers, Reiki practitioners, and Angel readers and I love it all! I am fascinated by the Akashic Records, by who I might have been in my past life, and how the body handles energy of all sorts. I read about chakras, have mine balanced, believe in magic, miracles, astrology, and the beautiful cycles of the moon. I am fully aware of what happens during Mercury Retrograde and take special notice of my thoughts when I notice the numbers 11:11 on the clock.
I read all the time. Books on self-development, connecting with my intuition, communicating with loved ones on the other side, and any of the other many New Age subjects can be found on my bookshelf at any given moment.
I love learning, connecting, and helping people break through the blocks that keep them playing small because for far too long, I have done the same. I have allowed my fears of what others might think, my anxiety of who I might lose, and my stress of what lies on the other side of this Truth to hold me back for too long and now I am stepping forward. Proudly.
So what does all of this mean?
It means that there are some things that are going to change around here…with love. I am going to be my true, authentic self and stop hiding the hippy-dippy, woo-woo, tree-huggin’ hippy that I am. You might be reading things with a spiritual twist and if it resonates with you, awesome, if not, no worries.
It also means my work, coaching, and pricing structures are going to change a bit. You see coaching is not just about helping you get from point A to point B…in fact most coaching isn’t about that at all. Many coaches work on a very intimate level helping clients delve into the dark areas they would rather keep hidden from others (and themselves).
It is in these places that healing, reflection, and growth are needed the most and while I have done a bit of that work in my last year of coaching, I have found it to be my sweet spot. I get the most fulfillment out of coaching by creating loving accountability for my clients who are ready and willing to dive into the emotional centers of their souls that house the blockages that keep them from moving forward. I get excited when I can celebrate blissful breakthroughs with women as they open up to their true and authentic selves that shed amazing, illuminating light on their path forward. Through the blockages and breakthroughs I act as a guide and provide the safe space for women to share their deepest dreams and desires while unlocking their fullest potential that many didn’t even know they had.
So, to the fellow freedom-seekers and soul-centered women who are ready to share their gifts with the world, I am here to help you make blissful breakthroughs so you can begin living the life you were meant to live…the life of your dreams. To the yogis, healers, artists, creatives, business owners, and light-workers of the world, your gifts are meant to change the world and I am ready to help you move through the blockages that have you stuck and keep you playing small.
It’s time for you to step into your power and allow your amazing light to shine. Are you ready? Contact me to schedule your 30-Minute Consultation today.
It’s not Valentines Day or Sweetest Day, however love is on my mind.
Why?
Because I just got married, like yesterday.
And while I am very much the romantic, swooning, wear my heart on my sleeve kind of gal, I enjoy love in all forms, not just the romantic kind.
I have said this before and I am going to say it again so bear with me while I go on a little love rant.
I have lived the life of just getting by in my work. Doing a good job, but not really loving what I do. While it was manageable for several years, I knew there was something bigger and more soul-satisfying out there for me. When I found coaching, I knew. Now that I am living my dream, doing work I absolutely freakin’ LOVE, I can’t imagine doing anything else. Life is amazing. Truly.
I have also lived the life of doing things that others expect of me. Fitting into a mold, life, and expectation of the world and not allowing myself to take care of my own needs and do more things I love. Simple things like reading, writing, and spending time in the sun. Things like taking vacations, going to yoga, or taking a nap when I feel like it. Now that I am giving myself permission to do more of what I LOVE, life is a lot better. I’m healthier, happier, and find myself enjoying each moment far more than I have in the past.
The next thing on my love list is kind of a big one. I have lived the life of judgement. Judgement of others (which I am certainly not proud of). Jealousy for what I felt I was missing in my life and a general lack of love for others. Now don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t a mean person per se, and I didn’t feel this way about all people, but what I realized was my outward judgement for others was really an inward judgement of myself. I wanted a life that I felt I didn’t have and didn’t have the ability to create for myself. All that has changed. I have realized that not only are we all connected, but that love is the most important thing that connects us all. Instead of comparing where I am and judging myself for not being as far as someone else, I try to remember we are all on our own journey and in celebrating the success of another, I am able to see them as an example of where I can be.
So what is this little love rant all about? It’s about infusing your life, every part of your life with a little bit more love. Everything from showing yourself some extra love and care to doing kind things for others. Allow your soul to sing by doing more of what you love. Share your gifts with the world. Smile at strangers and make their day. Love yourself and each other and by golly if you are spending 40+ hours a week struggling through a job that ‘just isn’t that bad’, take some time to explore what you truly want to do. Now is the time to do it!
I’ve said it before and this isn’t likely to be the last time (in case you were wondering). You deserve to do what you love, to have more fun, and live a joyful, amazing, and abundant life. You don’t have to only pick one thing to make you happy and let the rest go. YOU have the ability to create an amazing life and but you have to first make the decision to do so. So what are you waiting for?

Another theme I keep coming across in my own life and the lives of my clients is self-care. More specifically how difficult it is to invest the time, money, and space to really support ourselves in the way we need.
Is self-care a pain point for you?
Do you often find yourself overly exhausted, worried, frustrated, or saying ‘yes’ to everyone else but yourself?
It’s time to stop all that nonsense and begin investing in yourself.
I know there are a million reasons not to do it and to be honest, the ones I hear the most comes down to money and time.
We all have money stuff. We either believe there isn’t enough or what we have is all we will ever make, but that’s not true. There is plenty to go around and investing in yourself is one of the best ways to bring more into your life. Sounds a bit backwards I know, but when you are stressed, frustrated, angry, and living in a mindset of lack, do you find you are met with even more lack? It’s likely you are. But, what if you took some time for yourself to relax a bit. Get a massage, treat yourself to a manicure, purchase a course that can change your life, or hire a coach to help you reach the next level of your dreams? Wouldn’t that feel good?
At first the thought of spending money on things that aren’t ‘needs’ can scare the pants off some people and create anxiety especially if money seems to be a bit tighter than usual. And while I am not a ‘money coach’ per se, I do a lot of work with my clients on their money stuff because it’s a part of the beliefs and blocks that hold us back. Our relationship with money can be quite stressed depending on how we grew up, what we were taught, and the messages we heard and in turn believed about it. The same goes for spending money on seemingly frivolous things.
The truth is that investing in yourself is not frivolous or irresponsible. It is a necessary part of self-care and life in general. We aren’t here to simply survive and live paycheck to paycheck or to scrimp and save every penny we have. We are supposed to enjoy life, feel good, and take care of ourselves, but I often find some people just aren’t ready to take the leap. If that is you, then I invite you to start small.
Treat yourself to coffee every once in a while if that is your thing. Or go buy a good book that you have been dying to read and know that it’s OK to invest in yourself. And should you find yourself wondering about hiring a coach or enrolling in a course that is calling to you, do it!
There are always reasons not to invest in yourself and your dreams. Money is tight, the car might need fixing, the kids college fund needs to be bigger, or you just don’t believe it will make a difference, but I assure you that you will be better off if and when you do.
I am not asking you to dump your responsibilities and quit your job to invest in yourself, but I am asking you to get in touch with what you really want and need right now and allow your intuition to guide you. I believe wholeheartedly in the powers of the Universe guiding us to the people, articles, books, quotes, tools etc. that we need in the moment so you being here is not a fluke. Listen with your heart and get busy enjoying this amazing gift we have called life!
You know what’s funny? I get many of the same complaints and excuses when it comes to the time factor too. There seems to never be enough time to invest in yourself, but the truth is you just haven’t made it a priority. I invite you to make yourself, your self-care, your growth, and your dreams a priority. The world needs to see your light shine and you deserve to live a life of excitement, abundance, and joy.
So I ask you, what can you do right now to invest in yourself?
