Open the Way For Your Ever-Abundant Flow
Posted by: | CommentsIf you’re not in love with what you’re doing and what you’re offering- you’re wasting your time!
Energetically things are all off and you won’t get the results you are looking for.
In order to open the way for that ever-abundant flow of juicy goodness to start rushing in, you need to be in alignment with YOU. This applies to your life and your biz.
If you struggle to figure out what to write about on your blog or e-zine because you’re wondering what people want to hear from you- you are out of alignment.
When you write posts and articles based on what you feel excited to share – the way is open, baby!!
When you do things because they are expected of you, not because you want to- you are out of alignment.
When you fill your day doing things that you are excited about and interested in- your abundant flow is gushing.
When you are in alignment with YOU the way opens up and your next steps seem obvious. You don’t worry about what other people think and it all feels good. You naturally attract people and experiences to you that are resonating with your aligned energy.
Take a minute to imagine what that is like.
You only offer the services that you totally dig offering in your biz. You put your own special twist on what you do and it feels awesome. You get excited just talking about what you offer and it’s so easy to write about and pimp out. The perfect clients appear. It’s a blast working with them and they get fantastic results.
This is what Flying Your Freak Flag in your biz is all about! Coming into alignment with YOU and becoming so bright and shiny that your right people can see you from miles away.
So I ask you- Are you totally in love with what you’re offering and the people you’re working with in your biz?
If not- you need to start Flying The Freak Flag, baby!!
I can help- set up a Kick-Ass Consultation and we can talk about it.
Diving into the Mermaid Realms
Posted by: | Comments
I see you struggling to figure out what your kick-ass life looks like.
You’re mulling over what you’re qualified to do that won’t suck, wondering how your going to support yourself and still go to your favorite swanky restaurants a few times a month, and stressing about what your family is going to say when you tell them your making your move. Your head is going to explode if you don’t figure something out soon!
Want to know why your struggling?
You’re approaching it from the wrong perspective. You’re paying way too much attention to superficial details and playing it safe so you don’t rock the boat.
Time for a reality check- Your dull stagnate life isn’t working for you!! Stop wasting time playing it safe to preserve it!
If you want to discover what your kick-ass life looks like you need to be bold and daring! It’s necessary to look beyond what you think you need and dive down deep into the mermaid realms to discover what your inner freak is crying out for. Tune into this and you will know what will make your life Kick-Ass.
I’ll be the first to say that this can be scary!! Poking around in the mermaid realms can stir up a lot of stuff that you really don’t feel like dealing with, but it’s worth it in the long run.
Diving down deep into the mermaid realms creates some space between you and your conditioning and pre-packaged beliefs about how you think the world works and what you think is possible.
Here the conversation is about what feeds your soul, lights your fire, and sparks your creativity. The focus is on what you need to thrive, do naturally, and revealing the gifts that only you can offer.
This is the kind of conversation that you need to be having if you want to make any kind of headway towards living your kick-ass life. The clearer you are on what your preferences are, what interests you, and what you want more of the faster it will start showing up.

What are You Talking Yourself Out Of?
Posted by: | CommentsI work with all kinds of people who are tired of the status quo and want help breaking free from their pre-package lives. They come to me because they feel stuck in limbo and can’t figure out what will make their life feel more fulfilling, meaningful and fun. They want some clarity and a plan to shift things.
This might surprise you, but in most cases they actually already know what it is that will make their life more fulfilling, meaningful and fun, but they talked themselves out of it. Their heart has clearly showed them what they are passionate about and their head convinced them that they shouldn’t waste their time pursuing it.
Do you ever find yourself letting your head talk your heart out of going after what you’re passionate about?
The great thing is that with a bit of coaching it’s easy to break free of the pre-packaged beliefs that fill your head and cause you to think that you shouldn’t follow your heart and do what interests you.
For example, the 30 something year old dude who was struggling to maintain his sanity in the secure, practical management job that he had. He felt trapped and needed help figuring out how to shift things so his life felt better. After a few coaching sessions it was obvious that what he was really passionate about was being a musician, but he kept convincing himself that this was not a practical idea. He had bought in the pre-packaged belief that you can’t make money as a musician and you needed a real job in order to be a successful, responsible adult.
This is why he felt so trapped. His head was talking himself out of what his heart was crying out for and it was making him totally depressed. I gave him the assignment to think of all the possible ways that he could make money as a musician, and to open up to the possibility. Next thing you know he had a list of options and new opportunities, and created a plan. Four months into his plan he was supporting himself as a musician, and now has more opportunities than he knows what to do with. His life is Kick-Ass!
I also worked with a woman who was turning 40 and wanted help creating the next phase of her life. For the past 20 years she had been focused on being responsible and was burnt out. She felt that now was the time to create space to honor her creativity more. She felt limited in her options, and wanted help figuring out what this could look like for her. Once we started working together it became clear that what she really wanted was to write and to make the space in her life to do that, but she kept talking herself out of going for it because she didn’t think that was practical. Once we cleared out the pre-packaged beliefs that convinced her that she shouldn’t pursue this passion, and started looking at all the ways it could work, all kinds of possible scenarios started to appear. As her excitement about leaving her job to pursue her passion grew, the people around her got excited too. Everything began to fall into place and she now is set herself up to be able to do what interests her and still take care of her responsibilities. Her Kick-Ass Life is unfolding before her as we speak.
Next time you’re feeling unsatisfied and trapped, take some time to check in and see what your heart wants you to do. Pay attention to the pre-packaged beliefs that begin to fill your head and tell you all the reasons why you shouldn’t do it. Play in the realm of possibilities and start asking “How could this work? “
Caught in The Tangled Web of Conformity
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been pretty quiet lately. I’ve been all tangled up in a sticky web of “should” and “have too” concerning how I’m supposed to do things in my coaching biz. It had me feeling totally stressed out, frustrated, and it was draining me of all my creative energy.
The worst part was that being caught in this web was also draining me of my excitement around the awesome new guidebook and discovery group that I am putting together. I’m totally passionate about what I have created, but trying to promote it in this pre-packaged way was making me very unhappy.
Luckily, some folks I’m in a mastermind group with called me out on my shit and said- “Leah, you are all about defying the box, promote this thing any way you want to! Why are you even trying to conform?”
That is a good freaking question!
Why am I caught up in this story that says I have to write up my sales copy in a specific way and put it out in the world in this pre-package format?
When I sit with this question I realize that sometimes I feel vulnerable and too attached to the results when I’m offering my coaching services. What I’m offering the world is a little piece of my soul and that can feel very scary! What if no-body wants it?? When I’m in this place, it’s easy to feel like I don’t know what I’m doing and look to other people for advice rather than tuning into what feels right to me. I buy into the idea that I need to do things a specific way to be successful.
What parts of your life do you find yourself thinking that you need to conform to a specific way of doing things?
All I can say is that I’m glad that I’ve come through on the other side!
In the next few weeks I’ll be rolling out my new Discovery group and awesome Guidebook in a way that feels kick-ass to me and I can’t wait to share it with you!
