For far too many people ‘happiness’ is an ever-elusive future possibility.

With more money, love, success, adventure, ____(fill in the blank) we think we will have more joy and happiness in our lives, but I don’t believe that to be true.

What I now know, from many years of going against the grain of my own soul is that happiness is not only an inside job, but it requires a few key components…none of which you have to wait for.

You want to be truly happy?  Follow these simple steps.

  • Speak your truth.  Stop allowing others to stifle your essence as they tell you who to be and how to act.  Lean into your natural flow of living, breathing, and being and give yourself permission to speak your truth.  Know what you want out of life and go get it, unapologetically.  Stop following the herd and doing all the things everyone else is doing because you think you’re supposed to.  Find your truth and then live it, every.single.day.
  • Find your flow. I talk about this all the time with my clients and it’s SO important when it comes to being happy.  Finding your flow is all about leaning into what works for you.  Stepping into the path that while it might be a challenge is exciting, invigorating, and inspires you.  It’s about finding what you do naturally instead of following all the ‘traditional’ how-to guides.  Oh and one more thing…stop judging yourself for NOT ‘fitting in’ with the status quo.  You weren’t meant to fit in my dear…you were meant to find what works for you and do it beautifully.
  • Know what you want…then go get it.  Sounds simple enough right?  Unfortunately there are far too many people not willing to be honest with themselves about what it is they truly want out of life.  Speak it into reality.  Know it. Own it. Live it. Love it. And while you are at it…love YOURSELF.  

Without these 3 things, happiness will always feel just outside your reach.  The reality is that only YOU have the power to make yourself happy.  Don’t play victim to your circumstance any longer and allow yourself to be FREE knowing that you deserve to think, feel, and experience happiness every day.

And one more thing….

If the steps above feel a bit too difficult or you are rolling your eyes say ‘yeah right, that’s all you have to do!?’, hit the button below and let’s chat.

Your happiness is priceless and you shouldn’t be spending another minute living in uncertainty wondering when and if you will ever be happy.  Helping clients find it within themselves is my specialty, so let’s talk.

Cookie-cutter, one size fits all coaching. I call bullshit.

It’s time for me to share this message with you and while it might not be very popular and you may decide to unsubscribe, but it’s something that has to be said.

Today, I’m owning my essence and sharing it with you today.

No more hiding or being afraid that I might offend someone.

Today I’m calling bullshit on all the cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all, do it MY way and succeed methods of coaching and teaching (and anything else for that matter).

Yeah, it sounds good and many of us want guarantees that specific methods and modalities are going to be surefire ways to transform our lives and make us rich forever more, but that only holds true if we are all the SAME, which we aren’t.

YOU are a beautiful mixture of cells, soul, and energy combined with your many experiences from this lifetime and beyond.

YOU have amazing gifts, thoughts, skills, and natural talents that make you the incredible being that you are.

YOU are not cookie cutter and neither am I, so why is it that there are so many strategies that speak to ‘the one’ thing that will change your life forever more?

Why aren’t there more people, strategies, teachers, healers, and the like teaching us how to tap into the all-knowing, ever-growing, incredible force that we all have inside of us to make our lives amazing?

Why aren’t more people teaching us to tap into our intuitive gifts so that we may be empowered now and forever more?

In the last 2.5 years as my business and coaching have evolved, I’ve come to realize many of the traditional things didn’t work for me no matter how hard I tried.  I tried to do business the “right” way, even when it didn’t resonate for me on the deepest level.

I tried. I listened. I pushed. I forced, and I tried again.

For an entire year I thought something was wrong with ME because the strategies the “pros” were telling me to use just weren’t resonating and I was losing faith in my inner compass.

I was losing myself.

It wasn’t until I finally stepped away from the formulas, the strategies, and the sure-fire-ways to success that I found myself again and what I was really meant to do in my work.  It was something I had to learn to do for myself first.

Sure my work is helping you to create a life of your dreams and give yourself permission to live an amazing life, but it’s more than that.

My work is more along the lines of empowerment and teaching you to listen to your soul and do what is right for you!  It’s teaching you to blaze a trail for your life that fits YOU…not the life someone else set forth for you.

I am here to teach you what I have learned the hard way and that is to find your way back to yourself so you can live and experience life the way your soul intended.  I’m here to help guide you back to YOU so you can stand in your truth fully, happily, and unapologetically because you don’t fit any cookie cutter approach and that’s ok.

Today, I call bullshit on the one-size-fits-all approach to life and the pursuit of happiness and instead I’m embracing the beautiful, sometimes topsy-turvy, journey of discovery. 

I am accepting and embodying my flow and I’m asking you to do the same.

Listen. Respond. Act. And when you need assistance, reach out, but make sure you are connecting with teachers, healers and the like who are helping you find your way back to YOU.

The truth is, there is no magic pill or path to happiness, money, success, or anything else.  There’s only YOUR way and you have to stand strong in your power and be willing to find your flow.

My purpose is to help you do just that. 

If you want to join me on this self-discovery journey in finding your flow and embracing your essence, I’d love to chat with you (simply hit the button below).

May you always embrace the calling of your soul!

Passion & Purpose: How to find and live both

MY VACATION(2)

For as long as I can remember, I have known that traditional ‘life’ didn’t make much sense and in my heart I knew that the way we had been taught to live…was just one big misunderstanding about how life is supposed to be.

You see, it didn’t make sense to me that I had to just pick a course of study and commit my life to it so I could be an adult and be responsible.  Despite it not making any sense, I picked something I thought I’d like to do (exercise science) and went on my merry way.

When I graduated, I did what many people did when they graduated.  I got a job that had nothing to do with my degree.  In fact it was likely the furthest thing away from what I was ‘trained’ to do that it didn’t make any sense.  I was an office assistant.

It was in that job that I learned a lot about myself, my path, and how so many other people live in what they thought was the ‘normal’ way.

Does this sound familiar?

You study, get a degree, and then hop on the first job out of college.  You commit yourself to working your way up, provided the gig is something worthwhile and it’s not too terrible.  You may not be happy, but you find yourself on a path to abundance and better job titles if you can just hang in there.  You build a life and a career based on the discomfort that everyone else feels right? 

Work is supposed to be work and only a lucky few actually enjoy the jobs they do.  If you don’t hate your job (even if you don’t love it) you consider yourself lucky.  Yet…all the while something feels like it’s missing.  Some cosmic piece of your personality, your psyche, your joy is fundamentally missing from the very foundation that you have built your life on.  Who are you to complain though right?  I mean SO many people don’t even have jobs and you do.  So, you ignore the discomfort and vow to take fun vacations and save for the future when you can finally do the things that you love.

That is exactly what I was taught and for a brief moment in time, I believed that was going to be my life.  Until, I decided that I wasn’t cut out for that kind of living or just merely surviving.

I knew I was a creative soul with big dreams, interests, and a desire to make a difference.  I didn’t know how I would do it.  I didn’t even know where to look, but one thing I knew for sure was that I was meant for more than what I was currently doing.

That was also the moment I vowed to follow my heart and find my passion and truly live my purpose.  It is also the experience that taught me how to help other people in similar shoes do exactly the same thing.

What I now know is that we aren’t put here to just struggle through life doing things we hate.  We are actually meant to be happy, to overcome struggles, and to do the things we love.  It is what drives many of us everyday in the search.

If the above illustration speaks to your soul and you find yourself searching for the missing link in your life, I have a gift for you.  A brief 30-minute audio that will give you actionable steps to find and finally live your passion and purpose in this life.  I guarantee, your purpose is closer to you than you think.

Permission to be happy: Granted

I’m going to tell you a little secret about life that I’ve come to learn.

YOU have the ability to BE HAPPY right here, right now, no matter what your outer reality looks like.

All you have to do is give yourself permission to be.

That’s it!

Sure, it might feel a bit better to have more money in the bank, a loving partner who adores you, and a puppy who is delighted when you come home, but you don’t need all of that to be happy right now.  That’s just icing on the cake!

In fact, if you want to manifest any of those beautiful experiences (including the career, car, or vacation of your dreams) you must be happy first.

Like attracts like and in order to have more things that bring you joy, you must first radiate joy.

It’s just how it works.

Unfortunately many of us have gotten sucked into the idea that we will finally be happy when we get….there.  (Where ever “there” is anyway.)

As human beings we are blessed with amazing desires for incredible experiences that we can savor with every one of our senses and there is nothing wrong with that at all.  However, when we make any situation, opportunity, experience, or thing that isn’t currently in our reality to be the source of our joy…we lose our power completely.

No person, job, bank account, car, house, or anything else has the power to make you unhappy…unless you allow it.

Period.

And only YOU can cultivate the joy, peace, bliss, and pure happiness within yourself regardless of what is going on around you.

How?

By deciding to be.

By doing the things that light you up (no matter how small).

By giving yourself permission to feel the joy, love, and beauty that is all around us at any given moment despite what hasn’t manifested for you…yet.

And if you are like me, right now your mind is saying…BUT, But, but…there has to be more!  What else can I do?  Just tell me already!

Here’s your action step:

Grab a pen and piece of paper and start what I call a Love List.  Write down all the things that you LOVE about yourself, your life, spouse, job, the world etc.  List all the things you love…even if you don’t have them in your experience right now.  By simply reflecting on the things you love, you raise your vibration and I guarantee you will not only feel happier, but you will begin to manifest your desires with ease.

Happiness is an inside job and it’s time we got back to tending to our inner garden and stop making excuses about why we can’t be happy right now.

Life is too short not to feel the joy of the world and especially around this time of year when there seems to be a little bit of magic everywhere.

If ever you needed permission to be happy where you are, with what you have, as you are.

Consider your permission to be happy: GRANTED from now until forever more.

Don’t go into the New Year playing victim to the world.  You have the power to create anything you desire, you simply have to decide to do just that.

What’s holding you back right now?  Fear? Worry? Something else?

If you are ready to kick ass in 2016 and claim your happiness and everything else your soul desires, I want to chat with you.  Schedule your free 30-minute consultation below and let me help you make next year the best one yet!

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?
