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!
Is Fear Holding You Back? Here’s a Solution!
Posted by: | CommentsI am proud to announce that The 3 Steps to Kicking Fears Ass is ready!
Woo-hoo! High Five!
This e-book is my solution for you if you are finding yourself tripped up by fear when you are going after your kick-as dream life.
I created this e-book because fear is hands down the biggest obstacle that I see for my clients. It is often disguised as something else like; self-doubt, worry, overwhelm, anxiety, or confusion. When you dig down into it you discover that it is really fear lurking about trying to protect you by keeping you small.
The question is: How do you move past it?
I lay out my three steps for doing this in the e-book.
Here is a preview:
1. Acknowledge your fear and call it out for what it is. Fear feels bad, so our tendency is to ignore it, call it something else, or blame something outside of ourselves for it. You don’t want to own it because it makes you feel vulnerable and you don’t want to deal with it. Trust me, ignoring it is not helping any. Acknowledge and own it, then you will be better positioned to deal with it. (Ok….I have to acknowledge that sometimes fear can be exciting and thrilling….but then it really isn’t a problem, is it?)
2. Explore your fear and shine the light of awareness on it. Know what you are dealing with. Go deep into it. In most cases, you fear only has power over you because it is unexamined. In many cases it is based on something that falls apart when you look closely at it. In other cases, it is something that goes much deeper than you originally thought. You need to identify exactly what you are afraid of to effectively move past it.
3. Replace the fear with thoughts about what you really want. Now that you know what you are dealing with and are feeling more empowered, it is important to shift your focus onto what you want so the fear gets muscled out of the way. You are the boss of your thoughts. Focus on how freakin’ awesome it is going to feel to be living the life that your fear is trying to keep you from. Amplify that energy every day. Next thing you know you will be living that life for real.
Now in the e-book there is plenty of discussion around fear and how to work each of these steps to move past it. There are questions that you can ask yourself to help get to the heart of the matter and I share the same tools with you that I offer my private clients. I have seen amazing results in my own life and with my clients with this process.

Confession Time…..
Posted by: | CommentsOver the past year I have been trying to really connect to what I do for people.
The fact of the matter is that I have tons of information to share with all of you,
and I can help in so many different ways, but it has been hard to package it all up
and offer it when there were so many different pieces involved.
Don’t get me wrong, I have been trying like hell to put out things that I thought were
helpful to you. Some of it seemed to work and some of it did not. It all became very
frustrating over the past 4-5 months.
I thought I was on the right track,but it still FELT like a struggle and I was quickly
becoming frustrated.
I will be the first one to tell you, if it feels like a struggle and you are not getting
the results that you are looking for, it is time to take a step back and re-evaluate what
you are doing.
If I am in the flow, then there is no struggle and frustration.
If I am on the right path, I am getting energy back around what I am putting out.
So I took a step back and re-evaluated what I was doing. I decided to make a significant
investment in my business and started working with Nancy Marmolejo of Viva Visibility.
Part of the work I am doing with her includes participating in the Profitable Essence program
that she is offering.
I am beginning to think that this was one of the best investments I have ever made.
I feel like I have tapped into the essence of who I am and the work I do with people.
Whew! Finally, this feels so right!
(Funny how I no longer think I know what to do..but I FEEL it…I know it in my being)
I help you crash through your limitations, fearlessly pursue your dreams, and start living your authentic, juicy life.
So look out world. I am ready to fully step into my ability to help you transform your life.
I am a champion for your non-conforming soul!
I help you crash through your limitations, fearlessly, lovingly and for good.
The end result will be that you will feel whole, part of a kick-ass abundant world, and fulfilled beyond your wildest dreams.
