More Please!
Posted by: | CommentsWhew…this day got away from me! But that doesn’t mean I’m going to skip out on writing my weekly appreciation post. I figure better late than never.
(I know, I missed last week, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t thinking about you!)
There is so much juicy goodness to bask in and amplify this week!
Are you ready??
I’m feeling deeply satisfied and beaming with pride for my latest creation- The Kick-Ass Discovery Group! This group is going to rock 10 beautiful, non-conforming souls’ worlds! We’ll be talking about life’s purpose, meaning, fun, and flying your freak flag. I can’t wait till it gets started.
I appreciate my amazing VA-Rachael from Sister Virtual for her great design work, and keeping me focused and on track. I think we created something really cool together.
I appreciate my own ability to stretch and grow! During this creation process I found myself in some mighty low places, feeling stuck and unable to express myself in a way that felt right to me. Funny enough, every time I found myself there it was because I was trying to cram myself into a box of conformity around doing things the right way. For a while I was dressing up in someone else’s cloths and trying to be something I’m not. It sucked hard! Thankfully a few people lovingly called me out on it and I was able to see what I was doing and snap out of it!
Don’t you love when people call you out on your shit?
I’m basking in the amazing awesomeness that is my relationship. It’s so juicy and fun. I love our late night celebratory ice cream dates, sweet loving in the afternoon, geeking out with i-phones, and watching Torchwood.
More awesome opportunities to share what I know about flying your freak flag please!!!
I had a blast being interviewed for the Success for Spiritual Peoples Speaker Series, and being on Her
Ms. Tips E. Toes
Unfolding Journey. Being interviewed and answering questions about living a kick-ass life rocks! I also had fun teaching my free tele-class and talking with new clients. I love my job, it is perfect for me.
Spike
Finally, I have to mention my sweet furry friends- Tipsy and Spike. My kitty companions provide the purrfect little love blasts throughout my day.
Wow- thinking about this stuff feels mighty juicy!
Your turn! What are you appreciating and wanting more of from your week?
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!
