Whats Your Theme for 2012?
Posted by: | Comments
Happy New Year!!!
What’s your theme for the new year?
My theme for 2012 is being fully self-expressed!
I prefer having a theme rather than resolutions. Mostly because I suck at resolutions!
In my mind, resolutions take willpower and that is not something that I have a lot of. I gave up on forcing myself to have willpower a long time ago. It’s just not how I operate. I get more done when I choose to focus on bringing more of something into my life! It’s more fun and expansive which is how I like to roll.
What works best for you when it comes to making changes?
The first thing I’m doing as part of my self-expression theme is to start flying my freak flag higher and prouder in my biz. It seems like the perfect place to start since flying your freak flag is all about self-expression and letting people see the real you.
Here are some of the things you’re going to be seeing more of from me-
I’ll be talking more about the law of attraction and how to work in harmony with it to create your freaky empire. This principle is the foundation of the work I do and it’s time I gave it the place of honor it deserves.
I’m changing my services around to better reflect how I love to work with people. Gone will be the group programs, and convoluted coaching packages. I’m going to be focused on offering Unfurl Your Freak Flag Sessions and Booster Packs. (Email me if you want to learn more about this!) There will be two other ways that people can work with me that I’ll be revealing in the future.
I’m ditching my podcast that has been sitting around gathering dust for the past 6 months. It was fun for a while but I’m ready to move on to something else now…..like being interviewed by other people!!!! Don’t worry; you can still listen to all the past episodes here.
I’m focusing on only doing things that I want to do rather than things I feel I need to do. Over the past few weeks I’ve really been noticing the difference between these two energies.
When I want to do something- like work on my new kick-ass email series-I feel excited and expansive. I can’t wait to get started.
But, when I feel like I need to work on that same email series, there is a sense of pressure and constrictive energy about it.
Typically the thoughts that come with the feeling that I need to work on it are based in the idea that if I don’t work on the email series , then I’ll never get another client, or I won’t be able to grow my list or make money. Everything is contingent on my finishing that email series…..so I neeeed to do it! Can you feel the pressure there? I can’t produce anything kick-ass under those conditions!
Can you?
I invite you to notice when you are doing something in your biz because you think you need to do it, rather than wanting to do it. Which energy feels more expansive to you?
From a law of attraction perspective- which energy do you think is going to get you into your freaking fabulous empire faster? The expansive energy of -I want to do this- wins every time.
I’d love to hear what you’ll be doing more of in 2012! Go ahead and share away in the comments below.
How to Stay Focused on Your Kick-Ass Life
Posted by: | Comments
I don’t know about you, but I’m finding it really challenging to stay focused on how Kick-Ass my life actually is, when I’m being bombarded with all the fearful messages that are flying around in the media lately. I understand that we are facing some big challenges, and things are shifting and changing quickly, but to tell you the truth—This is a good thing!
It is pretty obvious that the way we have been living is deeply unsatisfying for a lot of people…….that’s why you’re here, right? The status quo isn’t working for you and you want to live a more meaningful, fun, satisfying life.
I think this desire runs deep in all human beings and in order to shift things for the highest good of all mankind, we need to shake things up and do things differently, and that is exactly what I feel is happening right now. People are feeling the pressure to take action to make their lives better, the time for tolerating oppression and all the shit that is not in alignment with your inner being is over. People everywhere are questioning archaic oppressive structures and empowering themselves to take action, it’s a beautiful thing really.
I’m of the opinion that now more than ever the world needs people who are tuned into their purpose and sharing what only they can share with the world. YOU have a unique perspective and piece of the puzzle and now IS the time to bring it forward. The world needs what you have to offer!!!! Believe that!
So how do you not get bogged down in fear and worry with all the turmoil that is happening? The trick is to stay focused and centered in your truth, and to keep moving towards how you want your life to be. It is common to hunker down in times like these, but now is the perfect time to keep moving forward and heading towards your dreams.
Even if society as we know it shifts and changes, you can still live a Kick-Ass Life. (If your thinking that going after your Kick-Ass Life is a selfish or foolish endeavor when things are so uncertain, then we need to talk about the importance of living your purpose and how to bust through that fear.)
Here are a few things that you can do to keep from getting bogged down in the drama and paralyzed by fear and worry.
1. Stop watching the news!!! Or at least take it in very small doses from non-hysterical sources. 6 hours of CNN a day is not helpful, and don’t get me started on Fox News! The media is trying to influence you to conform to their way of thinking. They want you to be afraid and to feel powerless. It makes you much easier to manipulate.
2. Have a daily practice to connect with your heart and center yourself on a daily basis. Mediation is good, a quiet walk without the headphones blaring, some plain old quiet time to sit for a minute and relax. Do whatever you need to be quiet ad slow down so you can actually here yourself think, and connect to what your heart is asking for.
3. Look for things that are Kick-Ass. Spend time everyday appreciating your life. Notice the beautiful flowers, feel the warm sun on your skin and bask in the juicy good feeling of these things. The Daily Kick-Ass List is something that I created to help my clients with this. I have included it in the Leah recommends section below.
4. Focus your attention on what you DO want to happen. Don’t get caught up in the drama of bitching, moaning, and complaining about how sucky things are. The more you talk about the things that aren’t working for you the more energy that you are giving to them. If you only do one thing from this list-Do this- Learn to focus your attention from what you don’t like to what you do want. Your focus and attention is something that you can actually control. Shift your attention to what you want to see happen and look for solutions to the problems rather than just getting pissed off, worried, or talking about how stupid the Senate is being to everyone you know on FB.
5. Look for evidence of your abundance! I know right now people are worried about $$$$. Make a habit of looking for evidence of your abundance. Things like- “Hey-I found a penny!”, “My friend fed me a wonderful meal!” and “In this moment I have everything I need” go a long way to boosting your ability to attract more abundance into your life. I like to meditate on these thoughts- “ The Universe prospers me” and “ The Universe provides me with everything that I need, life is good.”
6. Focus on the things that make your life meaningful, and that you are interested in and do more of them!!!! Do I need to say anymore about this?
7. Talk about your dreams and how you want to feel in your life. The more time you spend basking in this juicy energythe bigger it will become, and the stronger the signal is that you will be sending out into the Universe. Imagine how powerful it would be if everyone in the world did this? WoowZza!!!
Pick a few of these tips out and give them a whirl, then take a minute to let me know how they are working for you.
As always, I love to hear what is going on in that head of yours, so share your thoughts in the comments below.
Appreciating my Appreciations
Posted by: | CommentsI love Amplification Friday!
It feels so good to take a few minutes and to sit and reflect on all the awesomeness of my week and to bask in the juicy good feelings that come with it.
I admit that I sometimes need the reminder to do it because I get so caught up in my ever expanding journey, and what I still want to create, that I forget to appreciate all that is already Kick-Ass in my life.
Does that happen to you too?
Here are a few of my appreciations for the week.
I appreciate this amazing city that I live in. Boston rocks! It is beautiful, and full of awesome things to do.
I appreciate warm sunny days and sitting out on my back porch working. It’s awesome to have the freedom to do that!
Chihuly- The Boat
I appreciate the opportunity to see the Chihuly exhibit for free at the MFA. It was so beautiful to see the way he manipulates glass beyond what anyone else has done, and incorporates natural themes into his work. My sweetie and I had a blast. We were in divine timing and seemed to show up at the right places at the right time to avoid getting caught up in the ridiculously long lines to get into the museum and the exhibit. It was wonderful.
I appreciate the helpful people that I work with and all the support I’m given as I put together my next offering which will be focused on helping you break free from your pre-packaged life to discover your purpose and what you need to thrive. I’m really excited about this new project and the way it is unfolding. It feels amazing to have such clarity and a plan of action to roll it all out.It feels wonderful to be supported in this work and to gift myself with the help that I need to get it done.
I think I’ll stop here.
What are you appreciating from your week? Please share in the comments below.

I promise you that this Secret Process will help you connect to your life’s purpose AND create a Kick-Ass Life. It’s a double whammy!
And it’s pretty simple, but it’s something that is severely lacking in many people’s lives.
The secret process is this- Spend some time getting to know YOU on a much deeper level.
Explore everything that interests you.
Experiment a lot and try things on for size.
Evaluate your experiences to see what works and feels good to you, and do more of those things.
This is a hands on activity and requires you to take the time to explore and actively experience many different things so you can determine what your good at, lights your fire and gets your juices flowing.
Give yourself permission to break free of what you normally do and explore some new things. If a topic interests you; learn all you can about it.
Follow that spark and see if it lights your soul on fire.
As you go through this process keep notes on what you discover, and be sure to do more of the things that you’re good at and that you enjoy doing. As you begin to bring more of these things into your life, you will notice that your life will begin to feel very Kick-Ass!
Your passion and purpose will surface and become obvious to you as you get to know yourself on a much deeper level.
