my story Archives - Lamisha Serf-Walls

Earlier this week I shared this post with my VIP tribe and while it’s a bit of a vulnerable post, I realized how important it is for me to share it with you as well. May you find comfort in knowing that you are not alone and join me in facing your BS head on, because honestly it’s hard to change anything with that junk holding you back.

Ok, it’s time for me to get something off my chest. It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently as I have been facing the BS (aka Blind Spot) that has been holding me back and I’m done with it!

The past two months have been pretty tough. The positive side of me wants to tell you all about the growth, the lessons, and the beautiful blessings in disguise and while there was a lot of that going on that’s not always how it felt. There is another part of me that remembers the worry, the fear, the frustration, and at times the overwhelming tears.In the midst of chaos at home, schedules being thrown out the window, and lots of change going on both personally & professionally, I was forced to face my BS…head on.

The BS I’m talking about is both bull shit & something you may know as my Blind Spot.Yep, in the middle of sharing with you how your BS can hold you back, mine was there waiting for me, trying desperately to get me to not only play small, but quit playing all together. (Funny how that happens right?) And once I realized what it really was that was holding me back in my business (with the help of another coach), I knew I had to share it with you.

So, here is my most recent experience coming face-to-face with my BS. My hope is that when you hear my story, you leave with a deeper understanding of how imperative it is to identify and clear your own Blind Spot and you have a bit more compassion for yourself. Regardless of who you are, what you do, or what area of your life is affected, we all have thoughts & beliefs that are holding us back in our careers, love, relationships, and life in general. And the best part of all: there is a way to identify and clear it!

Coming face-to-face with your BS isn’t fun or all that comfortable, but I assure you it is the first step to living that amazing, free-flowing, ever expanding life of your dreams. It is almost as if we believe we can’t or shouldn’t have it all, but as one of my favorite quotes says:

“We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”

~Marianne Williamson

Go be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous and clear the BS that is in your way! You have an amazing life of freedom and flow to live so hop to it!

I believe in you,

I have been thinking about this series for a few weeks now and I am so excited to share with you some truly amazing fellow dreamers and achievers over the course of, well hopefully the rest of the year. I think it’s important for anyone who is just starting out on a new goal or dream path to hear stories about others who have been where you are. It’s not only meant to be a source of inspiration, but I hope you can take away some sage advice that can be applied to your own dreams.

So, here’s how it works. Each week I will highlight a new dreamer and their answer to one simple question:

What is or has been your ‘Dream Changer’?

A Dream Changer can be a moment, a phrase, advice from a friend, or a feeling that changed everything in terms of your dreams. To start us off, I am going to tell you a little about my dream changer.

If you have read my story, you know I wanted to be a life coach for a very long time, but the ‘traditional’ path I thought I needed to take just wasn’t working for me. I felt like I was spinning my wheels trying so hard to move forward only to find I hadn’t moved even an inch. That went on for close to 3 years. The Dream Changer came in a few simple words from a co-worker who had just signed up to go back to school so she could do what she really wanted to do.

Her words, “Sometimes, you just have to take that leap.”

Those words hit me in my heart. I knew she was right. That moment and those words began my path into doing what I love, my way.

Instead of following the path of another and finding a way to make myself fit the mold, I created my own path. That was in April of 2013 and here I am not only writing about coaching, but working with clients, planning new programs, and reaching for the stars! My Dream Changer could very well be called my Dream Maker, because without those words, I might still be spinning my wheels looking for a way to fit the mold. Luckily a dear friend and coworker shared her sage wisdom with me and I listened.

Do you have a Dream Changer or know of someone who would be great for this series? Please feel free to contact me with their info. I would love to highlight as many dreamers as possible in this series so others know that they are not alone in the pursuit of an amazing life. It all starts with one step.

Have you taken that step? Do you have a dream or passion that is burning in your soul, but you haven’t quite figured out how to make it come to life? I am a master at untangling the web of anxiety and fear to help you realize your dreams, so shoot me an email and schedule your consultation to find out if I’m the coach for you. If it turns out I am not, I will help you find a great fit. It’s a win-win situation.
