Happy June!

I don’t know if it’s the long weekend we just had or if it’s the magic of a new month ahead, but I’m on fire with all kinds of energy, inspiration and ideas.  I’ve been doing lots of new mindset journaling, purging old stuff (physical and energetic) and am feeling so much more on purpose than I have in a long time. I don’t know what it is and honestly, it doesn’t matter…what matters is that I use this energy and I fully intend to do just that. (Stay tuned because there is a ton of goodness coming your way starting today!)

With all that said, I was inspired to share a little reminder for those of you who may feel as though things have felt a bit stuck or stagnant or you’re just looking for an opportunity for a quick shift. I’ve got just what you need…a reminder if you will below. 

Let this be a reminder to you that you get to start anew. That each new day, week and month is an opportunity for you to begin again. Your past doesn’t matter. The stuff that has happened over and over and over again…has no bearing on where you are headed and it doesn’t have to repeat itself in your life. 

You get to choose differently. You get to create anew. You get the opportunity to begin again, focus again, and shift your beliefs NOW.

So, what if you believed your situation could and would change for the better in moments? What about seconds? What if right after you read this email you find a letter in your mailbox that is the good news you’ve been waiting for?

What if you get a phone call that changes everything?

What if you say yes to an opportunity that changes your life for the better and sets the stage for every amazing thing in your future to follow? 

What if???

You get to choose what to expect, allow and embrace in every moment of every day. You get to choose what to believe so if you’ve been thinking that things are always going to be the same, then that’s exactly what they will be. 

Is it time to believe in something bigger and better? I think so. 

P.S. You always have a choice in what you believe and if you’re struggling with how to keep those beliefs alive long enough to actually shift your life…book your free 30-minute consultation & let’s chat!

The more I think about and practice my 2021 mantra of “I let it all be easy.” (or some variation of that) I’m seeing all kinds of ways we tend to make it harder than it needs to be.  Believe me, I used to be the queen of making it harder than it needs to be as illustrated by the story below. 

When we lived in the D.C. area a few years ago, we were driving home from an event and hit a ton of traffic (as you do when you live in that area). My GPS happily calculated an alternate route for me to get home, but it was going to take me on some back roads that I was unfamiliar with. I don’t know what I was thinking, but instead of taking the shortcut into the unknown, I opted to stay the course and it took me an additional 45 minutes to get home.

—> I opted for the harder, yet familiar path instead of opting for easy & unknown. <—

Sound familiar? 

The truth is, we do this to ourselves all the time. While in the GPS situation you can very clearly see how a short cut around traffic is easier and probably the smarter option, we don’t always get to see that in our day-to-day lives. We have to learn to trust ourselves and the process, which is where mindset/energy practices really come into play. 

And while I could probably share with you 10 ways we are getting in our own way and making it harder than it has to be, today I’ll just start with three I’ve seen recently. 

1. Saying yes, when everything in you says no. When you say yes to the job, date, opportunity or anything else for that matter, when your heart is saying no, you are going against your intuitive nature. You are essentially muting the voice within that is there to guide you to the path of least resistance to everything you desire. Not to mention you are shrinking your light, limiting your possibilities, and likely making the journey a lot harder and longer than it needs to be. 

If you are like me, maybe you say yes when you really mean no because it’s what you know and it’s comfortable. Maybe it’s because you’re so used to doing what other people think you should do, that you’ve lost trust in your own inner voice. If you’re like many people you likely haven’t been taught to listen to yourself, your body or your inner guide. Well that changes starting now. 

Here’s how: This is one of the things I encourage every one of my clients to learn to do because it is a game-changer for everything they desire. It starts by tuning into yourself more often. Drop out of your mind-space for a bit and into your body. What are you feeling? What’s your body wanting/needing in this moment? Get quiet and check in daily and eventually you will be able to do this multiple times a day. When the time comes to make a decision you can then drop into that space again and feel your way forward. I use this practice is virtually everything in my life and it is pretty amazing what happens when you do. Give it a try!

2. Believing it gets to work for others, but not you. When you believe that the money, love, career, success and happiness gets to work out for other people, but not you…you make it so. You essentially put yourself and your life into a prison where you are shackled to this false narrative that is only true because you believe it. Not only do you believe it, but you practice it every time you see someone else doing that thing you want to do. “Of course it works for them…but it doesn’t get to work for me.” That is like watching someone walk through a doorway as you try and walk through the wall. If you just adjust your body (aka your focus and mind) then you too would walk through that door.

Here’s the truth (if you choose to believe it). When you see someone doing something that you also want to do…it means that YOU can create it too and are well on your way. But, when you tell the tale that it’s just a reminder that you don’t get to have it…then you don’t. You stay stuck. When you look at it that way, isn’t it worth taking a few moments to tell a different story? Let’s do that now.

Here’s how: First, decide that everything is working out for you and what you want you can also have. Got it? Now practice that. Practice it in writing about it in your journal, reading stories about it and basically immersing yourself in the belief that you can be, have and do whatever you choose. Get support, do the work and you will literally change your mind around what gets to be true for you. Then celebrate all the things that resemble what you desire and see it as a sign that you’re on the right path. It not only gets to work out for you…it already is!

3. Let the past predict what is possible for you. The past doesn’t matter unless you wish to repeat it. Yes, you can learn from it, explore what unfolded and make a change for the future, but it is not a predictor of your future…unless of course you believe it is. Let’s also add in here that even if you’ve never done it before (lost the weight, learned the skill, bought the house, written a book etc.) doesn’t mean you can’t…it means you haven’t yet. 

When we assume that our past predicts our future…nothing changes. We get stuck in the same story and same old energy of where we’ve been. It would be like going on a road trip but never leaving your driveway because you believe this is where you’ve always been. The past is old news and so is the present. It’s time to create anew. It’s time to tap into a new energy, new possibilities and new mindset for what you are creating. Ready? 

Here’s how:  Begin by making peace with the past. Recently this has been a bit theme in my client work as we dive into the pieces of the past still influencing the present. If you didn’t know, we go where we need to go and often that includes processing & healing bits of trauma and old stories that need to be released. Forgiveness is helpful as is some inner child work if that resonates for you. As you release and make peace with the past, you can simultaneously paint a new picture of what you are choosing and creating in the present. This is indeed a process and it can be deep work, but it is how true change and transformation happens and it’s 100% worth it.   Here’s to us all getting out of our own way and allowing it to be easier than it’s ever been before! Are you with me?

P.S. Next week, I am opening my calendar for those of you who are interested in booking a free consultation to see if we are a good fit to work together. If you feel it, you know so jump onto the calendar and let’s chat. Yes…I’m speaking to YOU. 😉

Last week was an interesting week and based on some of the conversations I’ve had recently, it seems we could all use a bit of a vibe shift. So, whether you *need*a vibe shift right now or you want to save this post for later, I’ve got 4 tips that will help you create a vibe shift almost instantly. 

1. Where’s your focus? Usually when we things feel a bit off vibrationally it’s because we are focused on something that isn’t working or doesn’t feel good. So, if you’re in need of a vibe shift- where’s your focus? Are you focusing on the lack of something or the feeling of having it? Are you cycling through the patterns you are seeing and getting stuck in a thought loop without really processing and moving through it? 

This is not about ignoring your feelings or pretending they aren’t there.  It’s about feeling it to heal it and choosing to place your focus on where you are headed. Write about it, tap it out, release and allow it to move on and choose something that feels better. Write out a love list (a list of all the things you love) or a gratitude list if that’s what it takes, but whatever you do remember that where your focus goes, energy flows and that’s how we attract and create.

2. Free it up. I’m talking time, space and energy here. There is nothing that creates a vibe shift faster than doing some good old cleaning and clearing work. So, where can you free up some time on your calendar (if it’s a bit overbooked) to focus on some self-care & mindset work? What area of your home/office could use some decluttering & clearing? What things are you holding onto in your mind/energy that you need to act on or let go of entirely?  Free it up! 

When you clear out your space you literally shift the way your space/life/mind/energy feels and it happens very quickly. In fact, I read something awhile ago that said if you move 27 things in your space, you shift the energy of that space. That’s just moving it. What happens when you get rid of the nonsense that you don’t need anymore?! You make room for the answers you’ve been seeking, inspiration you need to move forward and you generally just feel better. (I don’t know about you, but I will definitely be clearing some clutter this weekend. Join me?)

3. Why is it working? This might take some mind gymnastics, but it’s well worth the practice. Instead of thinking about how it feels like things aren’t working out for you, what if you asked yourself why it *is* working out for you and better yet, why all that you desire is inevitable? What if you forced yourself to make a list of reasons why you get to have what you want and why it gets to be easy for you? How would you feel?

It might feel like a challenge to do at first, but with a little thought I guarantee you could easily come up with at least 10 reasons it is working out for you and why your dreams/desires are inevitable. I’ll even give you one to start you off. It is working for you because you now decide it does. What else can you add?

4. How does it get any better than this? Ahh, my favorite question of all time. You can use it when things are going well and when you need a shift and the best part is *you* don’t have to answer it. This is a question that sort of challenges the Universe to show you how it is getting better and better and better. All you have to do is ask the question and then watch for how it gets better because I promise it will. Simply expecting it to get better shifts the vibe. 

So there you have it! 4 things you can do right now to shift & raise your vibration. Is there one that speaks to you specifically? If so, do that one first & let me know how it goes.

Need More???

P.S. If it feels like you might need a bit more than just a vibe shift right now and you need a *mind* shift, hit the link below and let’s chat about how we can work together to make that happen!

You know how I often talk about the little voice that drops these words and phrases in my mind from time-to-time? <–I like to think of that voice as the Universe or a higher, much smarter version of me that’s giving me the “cheat” codes for life and business. 

Well, this week the little voice dropped a nugget in my mind that I knew I was meant to share. It is simple, yet profound and likely something you’ve heard before. But maybe, just maybe *today* is the day it clicks for you and becomes the moment that changes everything for you. 
 

This is the little nugget I heard…

“You came here for this.”
When I pondered what “this” was, I heard…”More”. 

Like you, I’ve heard this before and while I haven’t always known what “more” meant…I knew it was right. You’ve likely heard me say it in a variety of ways already, which is why I hesitated in sharing it again, but something told me to do it anyway.

Made for more doesn’t mean you are less than valuable where you are, but it means there is so much more available to us all. It means that the very reason we are in these bodies at this time on this planet is because there is more for us to be, do, have, experience, share, communicate, create, give, learn, become, offer, and receive. 

It means that no matter where you are in your life…at one of your highest highs or lowest lows…there is still so much more goodness waiting for you on the other side and it’s often bigger, better and more beautiful than you could ever imagine.

Now, I realize that we all have moments when life hits us out of the blue or rips the rug right out from under us and it in those moments when it seems impossible to think there is something better or more waiting.

If you are in one of those moments right now, I am here to tell you with 100% certainty that there *is* more waiting for you.

Are you ready to find out how to get to it from where you are?

Here it is…

You choose to believe in better second-by-second. 
You feel the feels & in between the terror & tears you choose to look toward more.
You follow the nudge, take the step or the leap and do the *thing* you’ve been called to do. 
You give yourself permission to dream again even (and especially) when you don’t know “how” it’s going to play out.

And sometimes you take what feels like a risk to reach out for support & ride the wave of someone else’s certainty as you learn to expand your own and watch as the power you’ve always had comes back to life. 

You have the power and in fact, you always have had it. But sometimes it takes someone who has been where you are to show you how to tap back into it and go beyond where you’ve ever been before. 

There are 2 reasons people reach out to work with me and it’s usually because…

1. They have felt stuck/fed-up/frustrated/unhappy for far too long & something is telling them there *has* to be more to life than this. They might be just emerging from what feels like a rock-bottom moment and they are looking for hope, answers and more. 

2. They have checked the boxes of life, done the things and while nothing is exactly wrong with their life, they feel the pull to expand.  They feel the nudge to reach for more. 

You and I are here for more. It simply is the way we were built & the very reason we are on this planet.  So, who are we to deny ourselves and our purpose to show up for more? <—This is the very same question I often ask myself when I’m feeling low.

Let today be a reminder that you are indeed made for more and now is the time to lean into it. Help is of course here if you desire it, but whatever you do…I insist you follow the call.

You came here for this!

Now, with that (not so) little tidbit out of the way I want to let you know about a FREE LIVE event I am hosting over on my Facebook page next week! (I know, it’s late notice but when the Universe speaks it doesn’t always give you a huge heads up.) 

This is a 3-day event where I will be going live May 4th-6th at 3pm EST to talk about all things Mindset, Energy, Expansion, Alignment & Action. So, if you could use a mind/energy reboot this is perfect for you! 

I’ll also be taking time to answer your questions so if you can’t make it live, make sure you check out the replay and comment with your question. 

P.S.  Also, if today’s message resonated with you and you feel the nudge to take the leap to learn more about coaching & how it can change everything for the better,  hit the link below & let’s chat!

Last week I sent out the first official email to the Book Club Members with the link to the introduction of my book! To be honest, it’s still pretty surreal and I’m learning so much about myself, my beliefs and the process so far.

The whole mindset and writing process in particular has been super interesting to me.  For instance, I am finding that I have a bit more anxiety talking and sharing things about my “book” than I normally would with one of my programs or other offers. The book is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and it sits pretty high on my dreams list, so it seems there’s a lot of extra anxiety and fear that goes with it. 

The truth is, I’ve been having some wild thoughts like…

“I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. Maybe I should just let it go and try again another time.  I’ve never written a book before! I’ve never shared the words for a book as I write them and oh my goodness what if it stinks!?“

As you know, I write and share words just about every day on Facebook, via email and here with you. So what’s the big deal?  Nothing really.  It’s just the meaning I am giving to the big pile of words that we call...the book. 

Mindset 101: Nothing really “means” anything other than the meaning we give it. 

So, of course the thing I need to do in this scenario is lean into the fear around this “book thing” and share more, talk about it more, invite you to join the book club more because when I do that, the fear loses its power. 

Which is likely why I felt called to share a quote that comes straight from one of the chapters I’ll be sharing with the Book Club Members in May. (That and it’s a good one that some of you need right here, right now.)
If you’ve been feeling stuck lately or feel like you just aren’t cut out for the dreams and desires you hold so near and dear to your heart. This is for you.

“Sometimes, you just need to break the mold of who you were in order to step into who you came here to be in this world & do the damn thing.” (From what is currently Ch. 1 of my book)

It’s time to break the mold of who you were, what you believed, the choices you made and the things you’ve done because there’s so much more to your journey.

–>You came here to live fully by taking big scary leaps before you were completely “ready”.

–>You came here to show yourself how powerful, creative, talented and loved you truly are.

–>You came here to figure it out, find your way & show others how magical life can be.

And believe it or not, you came here to be happy, live a good life & shine your light in the collective world to help make it a better place. 

So, if it feels like that’s not happening for you, it might be time for you to break the mold of who you’ve known yourself to be and lean into the new beliefs, actions and sometimes take scary leaps that will lead to a life beyond what you ever dreamed. 

And let me add one more important thing here…

There’s never going to be a moment when the clouds part, the angels sing and you get a clear message from above that tells you this moment is the perfect moment for you to do ‘the thing’. Maybe that happens for 0.0000001% of people, but it doesn’t happen for the rest of us, so you just have to DECIDE.

Decide you’re going to finally do it.
Decide you’re ready enough to take that big scary step forward.
Decide that today is the day you are committing to the journey. 

–>Yes, there will be days where it’s hard to believe and doubt kicks in…but there will be more and more days where you feel the vibe of what you are creating & see the signs that it is unfolding.

–>Yes, there will be moments when you feel like you are going no where…but there will also be moments when you can’t believe how quickly things shifted for you.

–>Yes, there will be times when you feel like it gets to work for everyone BUT you…and there will be more times when you KNOW this gets to work for everyone & you find yourself sharing magical stories with anyone who will listen. 

This is a topsy-turvy-beautifully-chaotic-magical-miraculous-unexpected-blissful-expansive-journey that is life & it’s what we came here to do.  It’s what YOU came here to do.

So, whatever your “book” is…whatever that thing is that you’ve wanted to be, have, and do for such a long time, but you keep getting in your own way about….it’s time to break your mold & move through it. 

We can do it together or you can do it alone, there is no right/wrong way to do it, the key is to just do it…and keep doing it…and keep believing in the journey, the path and where you are headed because it is why you are here. 

So, with that said let me share with you how I can help if you’re looking for support.
