Before I get to today’s post, have you completed my brief survey?  If not, I’d love it if you would take a few minutes to share your thoughts with me for a chance to win one of 5 free coaching sessions I will be giving away on Thursday.

I remember many years ago in college I was seeing a mentor/counselor to chat a bit about a relationship I was in and on more than one occasion she asked me what was in my toolbox?

When I was met with a problem or a challenge in my relationship or in my life in general, she wanted to know what tools I was using to cope and help solve those problems.

It was a funny idea as I wasn’t quite sure what type of tools I had at that time, but it was also the beginning of me filling my toolbox with practices, rituals, activities, mindset strategies etc. to help me not just cope and survive life, but to THRIVE.

As it turns out, I’ve done so much research in the last 10 years that I’ve collected a TON of tools and practices that I share with my clients to help them continue to grow and evolve and create a life they ultimately love.

One of the misconceptions about coaching (or at least my style of coaching) is that by hiring a coach you are entering into a long-term relationship where the coach will give you the answers you have been seeking.  That’s actually the exact opposite of what I do.

My mission is to help women like you fill your toolbox with the practices, strategies, knowledge, and other tools that are available to us all to help empower you to be more of who you really are and do more of what you really love.

In a sense, I suppose I’m more of a teacher than a coach, though it doesn’t really matter what you call me. What matters is that you know you don’t have to get the answers from anyone else.  All the answers you are seeking lie within you and it is my job to teach you how to access them.

Is that a business-killer?  I don’t think so.

I like to think of it as me being in the business of empowerment.  I want you to learn the tricks of the trade so you can ride off into the sunset and live that crazy amazing life you’ve been dreaming of.  You don’t need me holding your hand for years to come.  All you need is a toolbox stocked full of tools you can use to tap into the wealth of knowledge that you have lying within you.

I guarantee that in this very moment you have a few things that work for you.  Maybe communication, journaling, art, or writing are some of the tools you use.  That’s perfect!  But, I want to teach you more…a lot more.

In fact, I want to teach you a new tool every week for the rest of the year and the ONLY people that are getting access to this amazing wealth of information right now are my 90-day Breakthrough & 6-Month VIP clients.  For the next month, anyone who registers to work with me in either of those programs will automatically gain access to this Special Bonus that includes a wealth of knowledge that I am calling the Universal Toolbox.

In it you will learn all sorts of tools to help you focus on what you want, shed the layers that are no longer serving you, and tap into the amazing power you have within.

You are going to learn tools and concepts like vibration, energy healing, tapping into your intuition, visualization, forgiveness, gratitude, mantras, affirmations, law of attraction skills, and so much more!

Not only will you learn how to use these tools each week, but you will be able to connect with others learning the same things and you will be invited to an exclusive weekly call to help you implement those tools.  This is a HUGE bonus that will catapult your vibration and manifesting abilities to another stratosphere.

So, are you interested in learning more about this bonus and possibly working together?  If so, let’s schedule a FREE 30-Minute Consultation to chat a bit about how I can help you.

My Money Story…

by

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.

So many opportunities for you to make a valuable change that will create a better life for you…which will you choose?

Life Upheaval = An Opportunity to Up-level

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!

It can all change in an instant…

Growing up I was keenly aware of the fact that life could change instantly, only then I expected it to change for the worse.  I was leery of moments that felt too good because it seemed like there was always something lurking around the corner ready to knock me off my high horse of happiness.

In fact, I grew so accustomed to seeing the bad things in life that I tried to plan for them before they ever happened.  You know the saying  “Plan for the worst, but hope for the best?”  Well I planned for and expected the worst and generally got it.

Looking back it’s a bit sad because while I had moments where I dreamed of it all working out the way I truly wanted it to, I never trusted that it could.

It took many years of growth, mindset work, and persistence to get to a place where I no longer expect the worst.  I now know that I get what I expect, thanks to my understanding of the Law of Attraction.

I am in a space in my life now where I know that everything can change for the better in an instant, but only if you are truly in the right frame of mind.

Everything we deal with in life is temporary.  The rain, sunshine, and cloudy days are all temporary and the same goes for the tough times.

There have been moments in the last year when my business wasn’t doing so well and I momentarily got stuck into my old way of thinking.  But, the moment I let go of that story and remembered that it could all change in the matter of one second, I lightened up.

I hold onto that thought to this day and I am always delighted to see how things change instantly for the better.

I want you to think about your life right now.  What are you struggling with?  In what ways are you expecting the worst and getting it?

What if you shifted your thoughts and remembered one simple fact that could change your life for the better?

It can all change in an instant, for the better so you better be prepared.

Having financial trouble that you just can’t quite see a way out of?

Hate your job, but don’t see any way out of it?

Living a life that is less than you desire, yet you don’t know what to do to move forward?

All of that can change in an instant and the good news is you don’t have to know how it will right now.  Simply know this to be true and follow your heart when the how appears.  That’s it!

Trust me when I say I have lived on both sides of this coin and knowing that everything can shift in a matter of seconds is an amazing feeling that provides hope for your future.

If you are looking for an opportunity to shift your mindset and begin taking steps to truly create the life you’ve always wanted, then hiring a coach may be your ‘how’.  I’m inviting you to schedule a free 30-minute consultation to chat about your situation and see if we are a good fit.  I have some exciting new ways to work with me coming up and I’d love to give you the inside scoop on our call.

Are you ready to change your life for the better?

This is your sign…

by

This week I shared something with my VIP list (which you can sign up for to receive my free video series: 7 Secrets to Manifest the Life of Your Dreams) that I am also sharing with you because I have a feeling there are a few of you that really need to read it.

If you are looking for a sign, this is it.

****

18 months ago, I took the biggest leap of my entire life…into the life of my dreams.

For about 5 years prior to that moment, I knew in my heart what I was meant to do, yet I ignored the calling of my soul because…well I was afraid.

Afraid to fail.

Afraid to succeed.

Afraid that the life I was living by society’s standards was what life was about and that I would forever be sucked into the vortex of paper-pushing-soul-sucking-mediocre-work.

What I craved?

Passion. Purpose. Creativity. Joy. Bliss. Abundance. Adventure.
And the ZING that comes with doing what you love.

It took 5 long years for me to stop making the excuses that I didn’t have the money, the time, or the background to make my dream a reality and from the moment I took the leap, I knew I had made the right decision.

Looking back over the last 18 months, I’ve changed in a variety of ways.

I feel the fear and do it anyway.

I’m a risk-taker, a heart-follower, and now a life-changer, doing what I was put on this earth to do…work that lights my soul on fire!

Now, I am reaching out to women like you who may be struggling to find that passion and ZING that your soul craves.

Are you ready for a change? Ready to manifest and create the life your soul is aching for?

Before you answer that…answer this.

How will your life feel in 10, 15, 20 years if nothing changes right now?

If you cringe at the thought or feel that sick feeling in your stomach, it’s time for a change and this is your chance.

0001-23099893I currently have 2 spots left in my 90-day Breakthrough Program for February before my rates increase March 2nd. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to move forward and make your dream life a reality, this is your chance.

I have opened my calendar to accommodate as many Free 30-Minute Consultations as possible before this offer expires and I invite you to schedule yours today.

This is your chance to make your dreams come true in spite of the fear that is trying desperately to hold you back.

Are you ready?
