Most of the women I work with embody elements of both, but often feel they have to wear the mask of being practical and brainy to be acceptable, seen and accepted by the world. They're afraid if they show too much emotion or their spiritual sides people will judge and reject them. We dive into where these stories and feelings came from. So often it was when they were little girls expressing themselves, so they shut it off. I've been there too, especially because I was a scientist and a doctor. I had a very strong emotional and spiritual aside, and I suppressed it until I couldn't anymore. Midlife came and it said, "I'm gonna keep beating you over the head until you acknowledge who you are." And so I listened after a little bit of fear and resistance. I want that for you because it's absolute BS that we're conditioned this way. It's time to be deconditioned and choose yourself! 🥰💃🏼 How do you see yourself? Are there parts of you that you feel you need to hide still?

Our path has moved us from Accessing Your Truth to turning over the next stone, Reveal Your Proof. If you missed the that, you can click on Stone 1: Accessing Your Truth in categories and see related posts. Once you get comfortable with looking inward at emotions, feelings, and starting to really see ourselves, the next step is to provide proof. Our brains are wired to look for evidence AND they're also wired toward a negativity bias to keep us alive. So, we tend to focus more on the negative and less on the positive. BUT we can change that! 🥳 Our beautiful brains can easily be retrained and rewired when we place our attention and energy in different areas. The midlife dip in confidence is real for so many women, but I know you've done so many hard things in your life. 💥 This is a powerful exercise in revealing your proof. 🔎🔎🔎 Sit with paper or a notebook (better if your write rather than type or voice note). Give yourself a few minutes to reflect on what you've done in your life that was hard. ANYTHING at all. Free write that list. Once you've got down everything you can think of, read it out loud. How do you feel? What emotions surfaced? Write that down. let yourself feel them and don't bypass anything. You may think of more and want to add them- that's normal. Add them. Now I want you to read this list aloud every day for a week. Notice how the feelings and emotions might change. Record this daily for a week and see what it reveals. 🤍🤍🤍 I'm going to share my list below with you. I've never shared this with anyone before so it's in the raw and vulnerable space. In no particular order: - Natural birth x2 and pulled my daughter out myself - 2 miscarriages between my kids - Still active at 51 (snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, etc.) - Long health journey with EBV (hormone issues, Epstein Barr Virus, Lyme, and Covid) - Addressing my trauma/ taking ownership and responsibility for my life - Went away to college knowing that my parents couldn't help me financially - Got divorced from college sweetheart after 6+ years because I evolved and that relationship wasn't serving me - Got remarried. - Worked through marital ups and downs - Started multiple businesses (some very successful and some not but I learned so much from the failures)  - Moved a bunch of times and started over - Asked for a raises in my consulting business because I knew my worth - Chose myself when no one else was supporting me - Forgave people who've hurt or betrayed me - Let people go that weren't good for me - Faced and integrated my shadows - Pivoted away from what was comfortable and familiar, and what I was professionally known for to dive into something completely different and authentic to me - Biggest: Faced one of my biggest fear- being honest and vulnerable w/parents

There are traps that many folks who've been on the "self growth and spiritual junky" journey (I lovingly say this because I'm here too 😘😂💜) are often aware of and it can potentially sabotage exactly what it is that you want. 💥Here are 4 of the Biggest Ones: 💜 Looking for signs before you make a move. Don't get me wrong- I love my signs and I do see words, numbers, and even feathers frequently, but I see it as a "divine nod" that I'm being supported rather than something I use to make decisions. I've seen some folks get stuck in a holding pattern waiting for a sign that never materialized. 💜 Outsourcing your power. When we allow outside energy/influences to override our intuition and trust in ourselves whether it's a coach, mentor, or even someone pulling a card for you, the final choice needs to be your own. Been there, done that! I don't do it anymore, even with a high ticket coach. 💜***THIS is the biggest one**** Waiting to be fully healed or transformed before doing "the thing" whether it's starting a new job, designing a new program, writing a book, starting a new relationship, etc. Life is meant to be lived, not programmed or bypassed. 🌟What to do instead: 💖 Use signs as a confirmation of support while taking action rather than waiting for one to initiate action. Signs are beautiful and all around us if we're aware and open to seeing them. 💖 Allow your voice and intuition to have the final say in your choices. I'm a firm believer in coaches, mentors, and getting advice from someone who's been there before you, but you need to honor yourself and what's best for you. Make it your flavor, not someone else's. And if you're into pulling cards, pull your own or tap into your own interpretation of someone else's pull. 💖 There is no amount of healing, classes you take or degrees/certifications that will prepare you for life. We learn by living and doing through the ups and downs... and we grow, heal, and evolve through that beautiful and messy path. I'd love to know below which one or more resonates with you (or even a past version of you). I believe going through any of the above are lessons meant for us to help us get out of our own way so we can share ourselves with the world. 🥰🥰🥰

Forgiveness has been a theme coming up in conversations and sessions recently, and I had a little download to share with you about it. ✨✨✨🤗🤗🤗

Your mission is simple: 🌟 Without thinking, ask yourself how you can let loose and have fun for 5 minutes today. Do what feels good, what reminds you that you're alive and the true essence of you. 🌟🌟 I've had a few today: I got up feeling spicy so my make-up (which I don't often wear) and clothes to match... I went with spicy like cinnamon and nutmeg for fall.🍵🍁🍂 I also had 2 mini dance parties- one by myself and another with some very special and amazing friends on a Skool call.
