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.

Your Kick-Ass Life
Posted by: | CommentsWhat do you fear more- being just like everyone else, or being different than everyone else?
If you’re afraid of being different than everyone else you might as well stop reading right here, and be content with living a dull, stagnate normal life just like everyone else.
If you’re down with the idea of flying your freak flag and living a Kick-Ass Life, then we have something to talk about.
Living a Kick-Ass life is all about unfurling your freak flag and hanging it out for the world to see. You own who you are; do all the things that interest you and fill you up with juicy goodness; and you stop doing the stuff that you don’t give a shit about.
You live your life your way and it feels totally kick-ass!
I know that this can be freaking HARD! Even when you’re a card carrying freak and totally committed to living life your way, it can be difficult to figure out what your way looks like. I have struggled with this, and I see you struggling with it too.
Flying your freak flag and going your own way feels risky. When it comes right down to it, you want to be accepted and successful. You’re afraid that if you let it all hang out and do what you really want, you’ll end up a broke-ass, laughing stock with no future.
So you hesitate, and hang out feeling uncertain and confused in a life that you know could be so much more. You spend lots of time thinking about changing your life and seconded guessing your ideas, and longing for things to be different.
Are you sick of this yet?

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.
This is Your Biggest Obstacle to Creating a Kick-Ass Life
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the biggest obstacles that I see for non-conforming souls is a belief that they hold deep down inside of themselves. It sabotages all their efforts and is what makes them give up once the going gets tough.
Can you guess what this belief is?
It’s the belief that they can’t pull it off. Somewhere along the line they were taught that they can’t really have what they want, and they don’t trust that they can create it.
Do you ever feel that way?
Maybe you don’t think that you deserve to live a Kick-Ass Life or you feel like you are wrong for wanting it?
Perhaps it just seems too overwhelming, and you’re afraid that you’ll lose everything if you go for it?
I’m not surprised that you think these things. These are the things we are told over and over again as we grow up.
Growing up, I bet you were often made wrong for marching to the beat of your own drummer. Your ideas were constantly shot down and you were told that you can’t do what you want. It became easier to fit in and conform to your families and societies expectations, than deal with all the conflict that going your own way led too.
It’s not surprising that you harbor this belief that you can’t have what you want!!! For a good part of your life this is exactly what you experienced.
I guarantee that this is what’s keeping you stuck in your rut right now.
What would happen if you DID believe that you COULD have what you want in your life and you knew that you could pull it off?
I bet that you would not hesitate to go for it. There would be no question of time, money, or all the other excuses that people use for not creating a life that they WANT to live.
Instead of saying “I can’t do it”, you’d be saying “How can I do this!?” and “Who wants to help me?”.
I’ll let you in on a little secret- You can live the life you want to live and you can create it for yourself right now!
And I am going to help you if you’ll let me.
I offer a wonderful variety of coaching packages that are designed to help you successfully navigate the obstacles as you create the life that you want to live. You can learn more about them here.
