I’ve been looking forward to sitting down to write this month’s newsletter – well, actually – I’ve just been looking forward to sitting down! 😊These past 8 weeks have been a Divine whirlwind – traveling between my daughters’ (3 hours apart), taking care of littles while Mamas got back to work, and helping my Pop who’s 4 hours the other direction. I think I’ve spent a total of 5 nights at home! My utilities have loved me – my business, not so much. Or so I thought! 👇
Back story: When we found out both my daughters were pregnant and due around February, I set my sites on having my business running on auto-pilot by then. My intention was to be financially in-flow so my time would be flexible for whatever they needed, which felt very doable – my work was already in transition and although I was stumbling around with my marketing, it gave me a solid time-frame to learn what I needed and put it into place.
Well, that didn’t happen – but great in theory, right? My business is definitely NOT on auto-pilot. What DID happen is, I gained clarity about what I really want to be doing with my time and energy, and who I want to be doing it with. What I learned is, my story not only matters, but it’s necessary to my life and my work – and shame is not a requirement. Those months before February turned my own healing experience into the most Divine work I’ve created to date and it’s been my JOY to witness others’ healing thru it. While I might continue to stumble around with my marketing (or should I say others’ marketing), what I discovered is, I don’t WANT to automate my work! I want to see and connect and BE with my people. I knew I was “home” when I started offering my 1:1 LIVE Breakthru Sessions – I felt the energy shift! And when I let that energy flow, my business felt it too and by the time those babies got here, I was working in an entirely different and very organic way!
The result? For the past 3 months I’ve been full-time “Kaki” (grandma) and part-time Coach – and my business is THRIVING! What?! How can that be??? 😮
First of all, that is EXACTLY what I envisioned for mySelf and it unfolded in a completely unexpected way. I love that! Intention is so powerful – stay open and present for the flow!
Secondly, I have to thrive for my business to thrive, not the other way around. I had to do the work. I had to get right with mySelf and stop sacrificing WHO I AM for what I thought I should be. I had to define for mySelf what success means and stop comparing to the latest and greatest social media hype. I had to listen and trust mySelf and what feels right in my bones. If it’s not a fit, it’s not a fit – I had to let some things go. Like everything else in evolution, we have to learn new things, but we also have to bring the wisdom to align new things with WHO WE ARE – and we can’t DO that if we haven’t done the work to really know who that is. Hint: It’s not out THERE.
Thirdly, marketing-schmarketing – it’s over-rated. I’m just going to keep showing up, and listening and trusting what feels right. For now, my “Traveling Kaki” gig is over 😭 so I’ll have a little rest before heading out for a week with my Pop. And my work schedule is shifting again, as I’ll be closer to home with my babies here this summer, so if you’ve been looking for a morning or mid-day slot, check the scheduling link – there’s more available now! THANK YOU for being so flexible and willing to shift as we shift!
This life thing – it’s amazing and full and I’m loving every minute of it! Until I see you, stay present for the flow. I’m learning that’s where the real joy lives!
