Lisa's story

July 27, 20236 min read

I’m excited to share with you an amazing story. This is a story about how someone's personal lived experience can help somebody else to take a decisive step towards their own powerful inner growth.

On my facebook page with my beloved community  we created this story together. 

Just like a kid doing a writing assignment, I wrote the start and the end of the story, but the most important part - the process of awareness and the path to transformation - can be as diverse as the infinitely unique experiences we have in our lives. 

So that’s the part I needed you for!! 🤩 With your comments, a number of you as the co-authors have created several important gems 💎 that help in the magic of transformation. 

They are each very different in their form and presentation, just like the people who wrote them. But in each of these gems there is a key that may help you access your own door to self-love. 

Ok here we go, read along with me 😍✨

Once upon a time there was a woman named Lisa.

Despite her strong leadership skills and magnetic character (talents with which she was richly and naturally endowed), she often found herself held back by a lack of self-confidence.

Nobody around her knew it, but she ran up against imposter syndrome multiple times a day! Chronically feeling a low level of anxiousness that one day someone would discover the true fraud that she was.

She yearned to be the sort of person who was capable of making bold, soul-centered decisions. She dreamed of what it might feel like to find a sense of meaning and true fulfillment in her life…. But it felt so far away from her reality.

One day Lisa realized that this lack of confidence was stemming from a constant battle between her brain and her heart.

Her brain urged her to ‘play it safe’, to stick to what was familiar and comfortable. Her heart, on the other hand, whispered of deeper intentions. Dreams, passions, what she’d heard others refer to as ‘Soul Food’.

Her heart was urging her to take risks and follow these deep-rooted desires that she never let get to the surface.

Feeling lost and unsure which path to take, Lisa decided to seek help from a wise and thoughtful mentor, she committed to carving out time in her busy routine……. for HERSELF.

She embarked on a journey of self-discovery, consciously leaning into solitude and reflection. In moments of silence, she allowed herself to truly listen to the desires of her heart, and gently, with practice she built a new relationship with her body that helped collapse the power of the doubts her mind had previously made SO LOUD.

Gradually Lisa discovered that true joy and fulfillment came in the simplest ways. With each step she felt an expansion of her BE-ing and an infinite well of energy within her.

Lisa understood that she had the power to create the life she wanted. She embraced the belief that opportunities were always available to her, and she only needed to open herself up to receive them. 

So how did she do it? 

Where did her discoveries came from? 

Here are 8 treasured gems 💎   

Gem 💎 1

Sometimes when we’ve only known one way of being, even if it’s a painful one, the safety of predictability outweighs the risk of change. 

It sounds like curiosity opened the door to possibility for Lisa. With a little bit of courage, we often find that as much as our old familiar narrative was self fulfilling, so is whatever new one we choose to create. It’s hard to go back once you’ve felt what she’s feeling

Gem 💎 2

I’ve found that on the journey to embodying my fullness and self-love, deep and consistent spiritual practice and relationship with the wild earth is at the core of all my progress.

Having come from the place of being destroyed by trauma when I didn’t have a core of self-love to begin with, my relationship with the mystery and the wild earth were the temple, and the path of initiation became the teaching.

Relating to life through the initiatory lens - “what deeper part of me that I am not familiar with can meet this situation in a life-giving way?” “How does this refine me?” What is the path of power here?” - helps me to depersonalize and naturalize the inner critic, the saboteur, all the ones within who work against my thriving (ironically, usually in an effort to protect me). This gives me more clear and consistent access to the wise and empowered self who is burgeoning through all the challenges that are mine to navigate in this life.

There’s nothing simple about it, and it wasn’t easy for me. I am still on this path and in this process. It’s what I teach my students ibecause I’ve found it to be the most honest, potent, and authentic path of evolution.

Gem 💎 3

As Lisa travelled

Her journey

It felt like

Two steps forward, one step back

A curious expression that

For the reality is

Neither Past nor Future

Hold the key to

Embodied wisdom.

It was surrendering to the Present

That finally allowed her True Self

To come to the fore

And dance with God.

Gem 💎 4

She turned to face her fears, to listen to what they had to say instead of trying to push them away.

Gem 💎 5

She recognized that her desires were stronger than any of her doubts and she trusted herself enough to follow that. Moments of silence help our deeper self sort out the clutter that prevents us from living with ease.

Gem 💎 6 

By turning inward, she could hear her intuition rather than turning to other people's opinions.

It's where it all begins. Sometimes we need someone to walk with us and sometimes we can just do it ourselves. Either way - a great way to get closer to your bliss.

Gem 💎 7 

Lisa recognized her worth and began to reach out to others and to stop listening to the war of words in her mind. She felt grace surrounding her to have faith in herself and know that she is not alone in this world of craziness. Each day she felt a new growth, a new way of looking at things, maybe she came to know her old self again. Someone who she had lost or did not recognize anymore, but now she felt whole, a power within herself that she mattered. Now she is ready to show herself as a woman who has grown from the hurdles of life. She is a warrior to help other women embrace their uniqueness. 

Gem 💎 8 

She vowed to schedule regular meetings with her heart, her mind and her soul. Having them connect on a regular basis would help build a support system for her Dreams and goals.

Gem 💎 9 

Lisa realized that time is running out, and her desires may remain unfulfilled. That’s a hard one but definitely one of those huge moments of big momentum forward! 

Do any of these gems land strongly for you?

It's where it all begins. Sometimes we need someone to walk with us and sometimes we can just do it ourselves. Either way - a great way to get closer to your bliss.

Gem 💎 7 

Lisa recognized her worth and began to reach out to others and to stop listening to the war of words in her mind. She felt grace surrounding her to have faith in herself and know that she is not alone in this world of craziness. Each day she felt a new growth, a new way of looking at things, maybe she came to know her old self again. Someone who she had lost or did not recognize anymore, but now she felt whole, a power within herself that she mattered. Now she is ready to show herself as a woman who has grown from the hurdles of life. She is a warrior to help other women embrace their uniqueness. 

Gem 💎 8 

She vowed to schedule regular meetings with her heart, her mind and her soul. Having them connect on a regular basis would help build a support system for her Dreams and goals.

Gem 💎 9 

Lisa realized that time is running out, and her desires may remain unfulfilled. That’s a hard one but definitely one of those huge moments of big momentum forward! 

Do any of these gems land strongly for you?

Lisa's story

July 27, 20236 min read

I’m excited to share with you an amazing story. This is a story about how someone's personal lived experience can help somebody else to take a decisive step towards their own powerful inner growth.

On my facebook page with my beloved community  we created this story together. 

Just like a kid doing a writing assignment, I wrote the start and the end of the story, but the most important part - the process of awareness and the path to transformation - can be as diverse as the infinitely unique experiences we have in our lives. 

So that’s the part I needed you for!! 🤩 With your comments, a number of you as the co-authors have created several important gems 💎 that help in the magic of transformation. 

They are each very different in their form and presentation, just like the people who wrote them. But in each of these gems there is a key that may help you access your own door to self-love. 

Ok here we go, read along with me 😍✨

Once upon a time there was a woman named Lisa.

Despite her strong leadership skills and magnetic character (talents with which she was richly and naturally endowed), she often found herself held back by a lack of self-confidence.

Nobody around her knew it, but she ran up against imposter syndrome multiple times a day! Chronically feeling a low level of anxiousness that one day someone would discover the true fraud that she was.

She yearned to be the sort of person who was capable of making bold, soul-centered decisions. She dreamed of what it might feel like to find a sense of meaning and true fulfillment in her life…. But it felt so far away from her reality.

One day Lisa realized that this lack of confidence was stemming from a constant battle between her brain and her heart.

Her brain urged her to ‘play it safe’, to stick to what was familiar and comfortable. Her heart, on the other hand, whispered of deeper intentions. Dreams, passions, what she’d heard others refer to as ‘Soul Food’.

Her heart was urging her to take risks and follow these deep-rooted desires that she never let get to the surface.

Feeling lost and unsure which path to take, Lisa decided to seek help from a wise and thoughtful mentor, she committed to carving out time in her busy routine……. for HERSELF.

She embarked on a journey of self-discovery, consciously leaning into solitude and reflection. In moments of silence, she allowed herself to truly listen to the desires of her heart, and gently, with practice she built a new relationship with her body that helped collapse the power of the doubts her mind had previously made SO LOUD.

Gradually Lisa discovered that true joy and fulfillment came in the simplest ways. With each step she felt an expansion of her BE-ing and an infinite well of energy within her.

Lisa understood that she had the power to create the life she wanted. She embraced the belief that opportunities were always available to her, and she only needed to open herself up to receive them. 

So how did she do it? 

Where did her discoveries came from? 

Here are 8 treasured gems 💎   

Gem 💎 1

Sometimes when we’ve only known one way of being, even if it’s a painful one, the safety of predictability outweighs the risk of change. 

It sounds like curiosity opened the door to possibility for Lisa. With a little bit of courage, we often find that as much as our old familiar narrative was self fulfilling, so is whatever new one we choose to create. It’s hard to go back once you’ve felt what she’s feeling

Gem 💎 2

I’ve found that on the journey to embodying my fullness and self-love, deep and consistent spiritual practice and relationship with the wild earth is at the core of all my progress.

Having come from the place of being destroyed by trauma when I didn’t have a core of self-love to begin with, my relationship with the mystery and the wild earth were the temple, and the path of initiation became the teaching.

Relating to life through the initiatory lens - “what deeper part of me that I am not familiar with can meet this situation in a life-giving way?” “How does this refine me?” What is the path of power here?” - helps me to depersonalize and naturalize the inner critic, the saboteur, all the ones within who work against my thriving (ironically, usually in an effort to protect me). This gives me more clear and consistent access to the wise and empowered self who is burgeoning through all the challenges that are mine to navigate in this life.

There’s nothing simple about it, and it wasn’t easy for me. I am still on this path and in this process. It’s what I teach my students ibecause I’ve found it to be the most honest, potent, and authentic path of evolution.

Gem 💎 3

As Lisa travelled

Her journey

It felt like

Two steps forward, one step back

A curious expression that

For the reality is

Neither Past nor Future

Hold the key to

Embodied wisdom.

It was surrendering to the Present

That finally allowed her True Self

To come to the fore

And dance with God.

Gem 💎 4

She turned to face her fears, to listen to what they had to say instead of trying to push them away.

Gem 💎 5

She recognized that her desires were stronger than any of her doubts and she trusted herself enough to follow that. Moments of silence help our deeper self sort out the clutter that prevents us from living with ease.

Gem 💎 6 

By turning inward, she could hear her intuition rather than turning to other people's opinions.

It's where it all begins. Sometimes we need someone to walk with us and sometimes we can just do it ourselves. Either way - a great way to get closer to your bliss.
