1:22

You guys, you guys,

1:27

can I keep it real? I mean, can

1:29

I keep it real with you?

1:32

You know, I always do. I really

1:35

struggled to

1:37

get clear on what the hell

1:39

this podcast episode is

1:41

supposed to be about. I had

1:43

like 50 11 ideas and.

1:47

Yeah, all of them felt relevant. and

1:50

I just couldn't choose. But I'm gonna

1:52

try to, okay. I'm gonna try to focus

1:54

on this one idea, but you guys

1:56

already know. If you've been listening,

1:59

if you haven't, welcome to the show. Welcome

2:02

to my world. Welcome to my

2:04

Path. I'm glad we're crossing path. but

2:07

if you, if you have been around, you guys know

2:09

once, once we start going, what's

2:11

meant to be said is what will be said.

2:14

What I channel is what I channel. It's

2:16

actually funny that I say that because over the last,

2:19

couple of weeks, a few months, I've been having

2:21

a lot of people call me an Oracle.

2:23

I've been having a lot of people call me, psychic,

2:27

and so I've slowly been, I've never really

2:29

gone by those titles. You know, sure.

2:31

I've called myself a seer or like

2:33

a spiritualist or a guide or

2:36

you know, but I've never like been like, oh,

2:38

I'm an Oracle. Oh, I'm a, I've

2:41

even used healer, which I don't so much

2:43

anymore, even though I actually am. Anyway,

2:45

I'm rambling. Let's get back on track. So anyway,

2:47

we're gonna open up the channels, we're gonna see how we go,

2:50

but before we do, let's just

2:52

drop in together. Maybe that will help

2:54

me stay on track of one

2:57

thought so you don't end this episode being

2:59

like, oh my God, she just blew

3:01

my eyebrows off and my lashes are flying

3:04

because she talked about so

3:06

many different things. What am I supposed

3:08

to do with this episode? Just

3:13

breathe with me like for

3:15

real. Just take a moment and

3:17

let's breathe and

3:20

see if you can do what

3:22

I'm doing, which is if you feel called,

3:24

which is to invite 10%

3:28

more relaxation in your body. And

3:32

I say more because I assume the breath was

3:34

already starting to relax

3:37

you. Oh. And

3:42

just see if there's a place where you

3:45

are holding tension that wants to

3:47

be released. And it's so

3:49

amazing, y'all, when I, guide you guys, I really

3:51

am, I'm really doing it. And so I'm,

3:53

I'm feeling myself. If

3:55

you can't hear it in my voice, my throat

3:58

is getting a little tight. I'm, my

4:00

voice is quivering a little bit. I've got some

4:02

tears, swelling in my eyes and

4:05

I feel my left shoulder relaxing simultaneously,

4:09

and Ziggy is just stretched out over my.

4:12

handmade blanket that my mom delivered

4:14

to me most recently. And

4:19

now let's just imagine everything that we just

4:22

released. Yep. 'cause I feel it off of

4:24

me. You should be feeling it off of

4:26

you. Just imagine that floating off

4:28

of your body and dissolving

4:30

into the wind, dissolving into

4:32

the earth, dissolving

4:34

into a beautiful white rose

4:37

petal flower. Going

4:40

up into the sun and being absorbed

4:42

into the heat of

4:45

its rays. And now

4:47

see if you can invite in any type of cleansing

4:49

energy, however

4:52

you visualize that, whether it's splashing

4:54

waters or mist or sparkly,

4:57

golden white, silver, light, whatever.

5:01

But just call in a cleansing. And

5:04

let it pour over you from the top of your

5:06

crown all

5:14

the way down to your feet. Drop

5:17

your grounding cords. I

5:20

like to drop them from my hands, from

5:22

my tailbone, the bottom

5:24

of my womb. And my feet

5:33

and just open up the portal of

5:35

your body, of your energy field where

5:38

you wanna receive today's message.

5:41

And for me, I feel it in my

5:43

heart. I feel it in my chest. So

5:47

I'm just putting my left hand over my chest.

5:49

I'm just rubbing, I'm

5:51

just allowing my lungs.

5:55

My rib cage, my

5:58

breasts, my

6:00

chest bones to

6:02

make space and allow my heart to radiate

6:04

and open. Wow.

6:07

I put blessings on our gathering

6:09

today. Like, do you feel the difference? I

6:11

sound different. I feel different. I'm

6:13

now here. With

6:16

you. All right, so

6:18

one of the things I love about this podcast

6:20

is Sure, shout out to my editor,

6:23

my team. I love you guys. Sure

6:25

they clean things up, but this is a time

6:27

where it is intimate. Like

6:30

I really am coming to teach and share

6:32

and, and be with you guys. And at

6:34

the very least, if no one ever downloads

6:36

or listens to this or leaves another review

6:38

or a rating, thank you by the way. I've

6:41

documented the experience

6:43

of living and teaching

6:46

and walking my path in truth. And I know

6:49

that one day, whether I'm dead or alive,

6:51

old or just a year older,

6:55

a year younger, I should say, um,

6:57

it's gonna reach who's mint to

6:59

receive it. So thank you for

7:02

being here. Thank you for listening. Thank

7:04

you for journeying with me.

7:08

What a beautiful time to be alive. Right.

7:12

Just take a moment and put some blessings on your own life.

7:16

Have you blessed your life today?

7:19

We wake up and we might meditate.

7:22

We might go on our run. We might do some yoga.

7:24

We might do gratitude journal, but do we

7:26

actually take a moment to bless

7:28

ourselves, bless our life,

7:32

bless God, or the spirits that be whoever

7:35

the universe, whatever you believe in. But

7:38

just bless your actual life.

7:42

Thank you life. I bless you. Thank

7:45

you for this incredible experience

7:47

to be a powerful

7:49

divine spiritual being, ethereal,

7:54

otherworldly. Having

7:58

this human experience being part

8:00

of the evolution of this consciousness,

8:02

being a blessing

8:05

to other spirits and human

8:08

bodies. Let's

8:10

get into today's episode.

8:15

The evidence you need when it's time

8:17

to take a leap. And

8:20

when I say leap, it can be any leap, a

8:23

leap of faith, a leap of change, a

8:25

decision. In this

8:27

instance, I'm talking about investing,

8:30

If you guys don't know, which I think you do,

8:33

we've got the Elevating Woman Retreat

8:35

coming up real fast. We're just

8:37

a couple weeks away. We still

8:39

have spots to sign up if you feel

8:42

called, which I know that you do, and

8:44

that's why we wanna talk about today's

8:46

episode. I was, S

8:49

reflecting over our time together in

8:51

presence in the process, which is

8:54

a seven week teaching

8:56

about being in transition, being in

8:58

change, and how to honor,

9:01

being called to great change, how to

9:03

honor being in the in-between. Right

9:06

now, I feel that the collective is constantly

9:09

pushing us to move

9:11

quickly through transition, get over

9:13

it, get to the results, get the breakthrough

9:15

like. Be

9:18

it like so quickly when it's

9:20

in the transition, in the process,

9:22

in the molding and the shedding and the gooeyness

9:24

and the uncomfortability that

9:28

the, the, the magic happens.

9:31

You know? And so we just

9:33

ended the program. Um, the live portion

9:35

of it, you can always get the. Record

9:39

it. Evergreen version of the program. The

9:41

link of for that is in the bio. If you're interested,

9:43

if you're going through a life change and you

9:45

wanna approach it from a place of reverence

9:48

and more respect and trust,

9:51

more faith, more

9:53

appreciation, you know,

9:55

of the process instead of, you

9:57

know, struggling through it, then

10:00

definitely check out the, the program. But yeah,

10:02

we were just, reflecting over our

10:04

time together. As

10:06

we were leaving the community

10:09

space open for a couple extra

10:11

weeks for people to process their process

10:13

and share what was going on with them and,

10:16

you know, get these extra little beautiful tidbits,

10:19

of support. And something that

10:21

came through after

10:23

it was just such a beautiful download was

10:26

around, essentially the ways

10:28

that we. Stop

10:30

ourselves from moving in the direction that we want

10:32

to go. A lot of times

10:34

we're saying what we don't want

10:37

in order to describe what we do. We

10:39

are saying what we do want,

10:42

but we are resistance to the process that

10:44

will get us there. And

10:46

so as I was reflecting over this phenomenon

10:48

that we do, and essentially those two things

10:51

is what gets us stuck. It gets

10:53

us lamenting in our process longer.

10:55

It gets us feeling like we lost our way.

10:57

It gets us doubting ourselves. It gets us

11:00

completely exhausted. 'cause we're spending

11:02

so much time waiting in the

11:04

water and running in quicksand

11:06

instead of being in our process and

11:08

taking each step, moving through it,

11:10

facing what we need to face, letting it metabolize

11:13

and. Morph fuss into what we

11:15

need to be and then emerging on the

11:17

other end, you know, we kinda get stuck

11:19

running in place. And

11:21

so, uh, I had this beautiful, incredible

11:23

download that came through that I was like, oh my God, we've

11:25

got to talk about this. And

11:28

I simply posted in our group, I said,

11:30

I want you to ask yourself, and

11:32

I want you guys listening to ask yourself

11:35

this question. I said, ask yourself, how

11:37

much more evidence do I

11:39

need? To commit to

11:41

my change in transformation process,

11:45

how much more evidence do you need in

11:48

order for you to say, wow,

11:50

I really do need what I'm going through

11:52

right now. What I am

11:54

going through, what is happening with

11:56

me is for my

11:59

greater good and I am gonna see

12:01

myself in it and through it. What

12:04

is it gonna take for you to get to that place?

12:08

Because more often than not,

12:10

and again, this isn't to shame us or to feel guilty

12:12

or to bash anyone at all, I mean, I'm human

12:15

obviously. we find

12:18

ourselves, resisting

12:20

and complaining about. Our

12:22

process and saying

12:24

that we're so confused and describing

12:27

the process instead of being in the process

12:29

and trying to avoid it, even though we

12:31

think that we're facing it. And like all these weird

12:33

niggly things because we have such brilliant

12:35

minds and we're so advanced

12:38

as humans. I mean, not advanced, as advanced

12:40

as the ai, but you know, we're so

12:42

advanced that we're like describing the

12:45

process instead of being in it and actually

12:47

taking the nourishment of the lesson

12:49

like. You know, And

12:51

so I was like, well, how much

12:53

more evidence do you need? What else needs to happen

12:55

in your life for you to be like, you know what? I

12:57

need this. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna take this

12:59

on. I'm gonna allow this to be my

13:01

truth. Right now, I'm allow it to

13:03

minister to me, to evolve me,

13:05

to bless me, to challenge me,

13:08

to mold me into the woman I'm called to be.

13:10

So I can arrive at what I wanna

13:12

arrive at, so I can receive what I wanna

13:14

receive, and not only receive it and arrive,

13:17

but I can hold it. Right. So

13:20

I want you to be really honest and really real with yourself.

13:22

Like what are you waiting on? What

13:25

are you waiting on in order to accept

13:27

exactly where you're at? Because here's the thing,

13:30

when you accept where you're at and you

13:32

sink into the process you're in, that's

13:34

what's actually births you through. You

13:37

can't change anything without accepting

13:40

what is first. It's

13:42

like, You have to look at the map

13:44

and get an understanding of what you are,

13:46

where you are, as much as you can from

13:49

a map. And that map and that understanding

13:51

where you are and what you generally have to go

13:53

through is what allows you to put foot

13:56

to the ground and walk the journey.

13:58

Right. I just want you to think about

14:00

that for a moment. Because

14:03

I was like, so many times I have

14:05

clients or people in the past have told me

14:07

that they're just waiting for the other shoe

14:10

to drop. You know? I'm like,

14:12

what other evidence do you need? And, and I literally

14:14

asked everyone. I was like, is it when

14:16

the other shoe drops? Because that's what

14:19

you're fearing. And that's what you're coding

14:21

yourself with anyway. You're like, when

14:23

the other shoe drops, then

14:25

I'm gonna take this seriously. So you're waiting

14:27

for that. Maybe you're waiting

14:29

for the eviction notice to come.

14:32

You know, who knows? Everyone has a experience.

14:35

I'm gonna put all these different ideas that came to mind

14:37

when this question came through.

14:40

Maybe you are waiting for the layoffs

14:42

to happen, or when you get passed

14:45

up on a raise

14:47

or promotion yet again. Maybe

14:50

you are waiting for the worst

14:52

and the hardest argument ever

14:55

that you've ever had in your relationship, and things

14:57

get outta control. And that's when you're gonna take that

14:59

evidence that it is time for you to drop

15:01

into your next and

15:03

greatest healing development

15:06

and level up journey. Maybe

15:09

you're waiting for the moment

15:11

that you actually have to co-sign a loan

15:14

on. A vehicle or

15:16

your home loan or your mortgage or whatever

15:18

it is, and then that's when you're

15:21

gonna finally face the fact that you've got some

15:23

financial work to do with your partner or some

15:25

communication work that needs to be done. Maybe

15:28

you're waiting for your bank to fail

15:30

instead of it being these venture capitalist ones.

15:34

Capitalists, the venture capital ones in

15:36

Silicon Valley. Maybe it's

15:38

when your own bank fails,

15:40

then you're gonna take it serious that you should

15:42

diversify your assets and

15:45

look at your money differently. You know,

15:47

I'm just tossing out just random ideas of what

15:49

you might be waiting for. Maybe

15:52

you are waiting for the

15:54

moment where you have to defend yourself

15:57

alone, even though you're in community

16:00

with your closest friends, or

16:02

when you get another one-sided invitation,

16:05

then that's enough evidence has been stacked

16:07

up to say I need to go out and

16:09

make some friends who reciprocate,

16:12

who love me, the way I wanna be loved, and how I

16:14

love. You know, and that means

16:16

I have to heal some sisterhood wounds, or I have to

16:18

heal some belonging wounds. I have

16:20

to face the ways in which I'm toxic, right?

16:23

Or I'm still walking around with my

16:25

mother, or my father's, or my races, or my communities,

16:28

or my culture's expectations or

16:30

wounds around belonging, you

16:32

know? Maybe

16:36

it's, and this one makes me laugh 'cause someone in the group

16:38

was like, oh my God, you're talking like directly

16:40

to my life. Maybe

16:43

the evidence you need is another

16:45

depleted day where you snap at your

16:47

partner or your husband or your wife because

16:50

you gave all your love and energy

16:52

to others instead of yourself and

16:55

to them and your household. Maybe

16:57

you need another day like that. And then you're

16:59

finally gonna realize it's time for you to

17:01

do some healing work on yourself

17:03

and your vulnerability and your energy

17:06

and your love. You know, in

17:08

traditional marketing people talk about this

17:10

as like, what is it gonna cost you? And

17:12

that's fine because you know, people think

17:14

about cost and money and saving

17:16

and all that stuff, and. That's

17:19

one way to put this, but the way it came through for spirit

17:21

was what other evidence do you need?

17:24

You already feel it in your gut. You're

17:26

already unhappy, you're already uncomfortable,

17:29

but you're allowing your

17:31

mind to rationalize. You're allowing

17:34

yourself to logically ignore

17:37

all the signs that's telling you you

17:40

need. To transform.

17:42

we're bringing you these situations, these lessons,

17:44

these trials, these tribulations, these challenges,

17:47

these fears, so that

17:49

you can evolve into

17:51

what you actually want and

17:53

instead, you're ignoring all the evidence

17:56

in your body, in your spirit, in your mind,

17:59

and your relationships, right?

18:01

And the quality of your life. You're

18:03

just ignoring all of the evidence. And

18:06

hoping that you'll get what you want without

18:09

going through the process, without

18:11

doing the work. Big

18:13

breath. What

18:16

is the limit that you'll hit to

18:18

finally, no longer

18:20

play with or delay what

18:22

your process knows you deserve

18:25

and is trying to do for you. What

18:28

is the limit? And

18:31

I went on to say, wouldn't it be great

18:34

to decide? You actually don't need

18:36

to hit that limit because you

18:38

right now, maybe on this podcast episode,

18:41

have decided to trust your truth

18:44

and trust what you feel and trust the evidence

18:46

you already got. What

18:48

you already know, even

18:50

though it's scary. What if

18:52

you didn't hit rock bottom or

18:55

have another sad moment you just

18:57

decided today to

18:59

move forward, to

19:02

step into your learning, to face the

19:04

facts, allow it to

19:06

sting. Allow it to minister

19:08

to you, allow you to get clarity

19:10

and insight and allow that

19:12

to move you into inspired action

19:15

that gets you receiving

19:17

what you want because you actually become

19:20

the woman that you need and wanna be at

19:22

the next level. I kid you not

19:24

y'all, when this came through, I

19:26

was like, holy shit, I

19:28

had to lay down in my bed. I was just like,

19:32

What other evidence do I need?

19:36

What other evidence do you need? I don't need

19:38

any more evidence. I

19:40

am crystal clear

19:43

about who I now am, the new identity

19:45

I am taking on. I

19:48

am crystal clear on the new standards

19:50

of operating, how the second

19:52

half of 2023 is gonna look for me

19:55

and what I'm focusing on and

19:57

what that means for my 2024 and

19:59

what that means for my 2025. I

20:01

know that right now because I

20:04

have been, and we'll continue

20:06

facing the music and

20:08

what I love about these types

20:11

of moments, these kinds of questions that are

20:13

so. Thick with spiritual

20:15

insight in medicine is that

20:18

it truly does take you, in my

20:20

opinion, being in community

20:24

to realize these things, to

20:26

be supported in this Inquiry.

20:30

You know, when you hear something like this and

20:32

you run it through your actual life, What

20:34

comes back to you might

20:37

sting a bit. It might make you want

20:39

to unconsciously

20:41

avoid it, even though with your mouth and

20:43

with your brain, you're like, yeah, this is great.

20:46

I am facing music. I am ready

20:48

to move forward. I'm over this and I'm ready

20:50

for that. Yet,

20:53

in your day-to-day life, we

20:56

miss it. We

20:58

don't have the extra eyes of the person who

21:00

can see our shadow, who can see

21:02

our our blocks. Who

21:04

can see our blind

21:06

spots. That's with community,

21:09

that's with sisterhood. That's what teachers

21:11

and mentors and guys are for. To

21:14

be like, oh, what are you desiring?

21:16

Oh, where are you going? Oh,

21:18

what is the pattern? Oh, what

21:20

are the fears? Oh, how are

21:22

you showing up? Oh, hey,

21:25

based on everything you just said,

21:27

dear sister, love, friend, girl. Woman.

21:34

I just wanna point out something that

21:36

is an opposition of what you have

21:38

declared to

21:40

me for your life, but to me, you

21:42

shared it with me and you have trusted

21:45

me to call

21:47

you out lovingly, supportively

21:50

constructively, carefully,

21:53

In a way that upholds your dignity,

21:56

your, your kindness,

21:59

your care, your, your, your

22:02

person, your woman, and

22:04

also your dreams to hold your dreams

22:06

and your desires as if they are

22:08

my own. Because I wanna see all

22:10

of us thrive. That's

22:14

the energy that we are going

22:16

into The Elevating

22:18

Woman Retreat with. It

22:21

is like, I know y'all

22:23

have been doing work, you

22:26

know? I know all of us have. I

22:28

know that you have had some amazing breakthroughs

22:30

and some incredible moments, and

22:33

you're just on the tip. You

22:35

are just on the tip of completing

22:37

and like really finishing off,

22:39

polishing off this journey you've been on, but

22:41

there's something in particular, a

22:44

way that you see yourself,

22:46

a way that you are showing up in the world, a way

22:48

that you are allowing different things

22:50

to still penetrate and siphon off

22:52

your energy that is stopping

22:54

you from really stepping into this next

22:57

level of yourself. That's

22:59

what the Elevating Woman Retreat

23:02

is all about. That's what it's for. I

23:05

keep telling everyone who inquires about it

23:07

that the theme of the retreat is you.

23:11

The theme is, come

23:13

be in this glorious, beautiful desert

23:15

oasis right off of the ocean,

23:19

high in the hills with incredible sunsets

23:21

and sunrises. Come

23:24

be in this glorious space. Bring

23:26

all your stuff. Allow

23:29

yourself to be seen. And held

23:32

and loved on and spoken life

23:34

into, and guided and

23:38

picked apart and put back together in the best

23:40

new way. So when you

23:42

leave that property, hop

23:45

back on your plane and

23:48

get back to your quote unquote, regular

23:50

life, you are not the same.

23:53

And I'm actually really proud of myself.

23:56

To have picked up on

23:58

the evidence, like it was so much evidence

24:00

coming to me being like, it's time to come

24:03

back into in-person experiences.

24:08

It's when my business really started to take

24:11

form with the healing and

24:14

the business change and like the lifestyle

24:16

crafting and designing and all

24:18

of that. It was in Bali. It was on retreat

24:21

grounds. It was come it good

24:23

food, get these massages,

24:25

let's have these healing sessions. And as

24:28

you move through all of this and have your. Cultural

24:30

experiences, you're gonna

24:32

get clarity and you're gonna know exactly who

24:34

you are and what you're gonna do next in your life. And

24:36

I saw it with executives.

24:38

I saw it with nannies, I saw it with spies.

24:41

Three of them came on the retreat once, which was so

24:44

cool. 'cause I'd never like talked to spies. I

24:47

saw it with mother and daughter duos.

24:49

I saw it with best friends. I saw it with

24:51

people who were, you know, first time

24:53

mothers, folks who had

24:55

just gotten married. Folks who just quit

24:57

their jobs. Folks who were burnt

24:59

out, entrepreneurs, ladies

25:02

who were, in their twenties, ladies who were

25:04

in their late fifties. And

25:06

so there's something about going away

25:09

into a space where all

25:11

you get to do is to be surrounded

25:13

by beauty while you're going through probably

25:16

the ugliest part of a metamorphosis,

25:18

right? And you get to emerge

25:20

as the butterfly that you are with

25:22

clarity and strength and power, and

25:26

you've had time to just

25:28

had people pour into you, got

25:31

to see yourself in a new

25:33

light because others saw you in

25:35

the light that you are. I

25:37

just love, I love the magic of retreating.

25:39

I really, really do. And.

25:42

I will say something else though. I stopped

25:44

doing retreats for a reason. I stopped

25:46

doing retreats because I started seeing how

25:49

many people came on the retreats

25:51

and then they would go home with all

25:53

this transformation and not

25:55

be supported. I. Right. And

25:57

so they would easily resort back

25:59

to the old energies and practices

26:01

and behavior of their life pre retreat.

26:04

And I'm just not here for that. Like we

26:06

all take responsibility. I know that you

26:09

personally are gonna be responsible for your transformation

26:11

and you are right. And I do

26:13

believe in providing the support to further

26:17

anchor the transformation that is. Has

26:19

happened on the retreat. So everyone

26:22

who comes on the Elevating Woman Retreat

26:25

will have support post retreat.

26:28

So that you know what you're

26:30

doing, how to maintain this identity

26:32

that you have finally birthed. Right.

26:35

And how to nurture her and

26:38

tend to her and be compassionate

26:40

and courageous for her. Right.

26:44

But you have to ask yourself, how much evidence

26:47

do you need? What

26:49

else needs to happen in order

26:51

for you to feel one

26:53

that you're worth it, two, that you can make

26:55

it happen, and three, to pull the trigger

26:58

and book in this retreat. What

27:02

else needs to happen in your life

27:04

for you to say, you know what? I actually

27:06

do need this. I actually do

27:09

need to quit fucking around. And

27:12

decide, I'm gonna take one of these final spots,

27:14

or ask Ash if she has a spot

27:16

that she can slide me into. I'll

27:18

tell you every single time I've been at like

27:21

a major uplevel in my life, travel

27:24

has always been a part of it. And

27:26

it's not like I sat down and planned for

27:28

it. A lot of those trips were spontaneous.

27:32

When I first went to Bali the first

27:34

time just for a trip, like a visit,

27:36

my first time going, I planned

27:39

that for a year when I was 27,

27:41

and I went for my 28th birthday. And

27:43

then when I was like really ready,

27:46

I was like, oh no, I felt it. I felt

27:48

who I am on these lands and I

27:50

want her. That's when I spontaneously,

27:53

less than two months later, moved

27:55

to Bali. So. I

27:58

find that when it comes to investments around

28:00

travel, um, around retreats,

28:02

around experiences we tell

28:05

ourselves, which is a total lie,

28:08

we tell ourselves that we needed to plan it

28:10

out and we need to see if we have the money

28:13

and we need to make these arrangements and we need to

28:15

da, da, da, da, da, all these things. And I'm

28:17

like, that's totally not true because if

28:20

Beyonce added a show in

28:22

your town, And she was

28:24

not gonna have that show before. And

28:26

you're a Beyonce fan, and everyone

28:28

said how life-changing her

28:31

show was. I bet you'd

28:33

be trying to find those tickets last minute. I

28:35

bet you would be calling into work. I

28:37

bet you'll find a babysitter or

28:39

leave the kids out in the car. I'm

28:41

just kidding. No one would do that. I

28:44

hope not. But

28:46

it's just so interesting how we

28:48

make evidence and excuses, like

28:50

how much evidence do we need and how many

28:52

excuses will we make until

28:54

we decide to invest until

28:58

we decide to take a leap? Not

29:00

for me, but for yourself. You

29:02

know, people ask me all the time, how

29:05

do you live, how you live, Ash?

29:07

It's like, I had a conversation with you. You brought

29:10

up something, you mentioned something, and next thing I

29:12

know, I see you online living it or doing

29:14

it, you know? I said, I'm

29:17

about to be someone's wife. And less than

29:19

two months later I was engaged and I was not

29:21

dating anyone at the time. I was completely single.

29:24

People ask me, how do you do that? And I'm like, I

29:26

just don't fuck around with going for what

29:28

I want. And that is

29:31

not from the energy of now.

29:33

It is no longer from the energy of I'm gonna

29:36

do it, I'm gonna make it happen. It

29:38

is. I follow the energy inside

29:40

of me when I feel that spark,

29:42

when I feel that longing, when I feel that desire,

29:44

I'm like, it's mine. That's what I want.

29:47

I don't know how it's gonna happen. I don't know when

29:49

it's gonna happen. I just feel this

29:51

and I'm gonna acknowledge that feeling and

29:53

I'm gonna see what options. I mean, I'll take

29:55

the practical steps. What are the options

29:57

available to me? It's funny that you

29:59

ask, we have payment plans if you need it

30:01

for the retreat, right? You can pay

30:04

in full. We've got plenty of things

30:06

that can support you to get there. You

30:08

know, I always take the moment

30:11

to do the practical things when I want something.

30:14

Even before I knew, about my,

30:16

upcoming new business, which is a local

30:18

based business, before I really

30:20

thought through it, I just felt

30:23

called to go and look at retail properties

30:26

like commercial real estate. And I was like, I have

30:28

no idea what I'm gonna do or how I'm gonna

30:30

do it, but like, I just

30:32

feel called to look at these. Let me go

30:34

and see what's available

30:37

to me. I

30:39

don't know anything about a business yet or how I'm gonna

30:41

do that, or what the local this and the

30:44

department of that and all that kind of stuff. I didn't knew

30:46

those things then. But I wasn't

30:48

gonna deny myself the opportunity

30:50

to breathe a a little life

30:52

into my dreams and what I was feeling

30:54

drawn to. When it's just

30:56

a walk down the street, it's just a phone call, just

30:59

visiting the website. It's just looking up the flights,

31:01

you know? And we women

31:04

do this all the time. We

31:07

cut off the possibilities for our

31:09

lives before we even allow

31:11

them to spark a little

31:13

bit. And then we're, you

31:15

know, again, blaming the patriarchy

31:17

and complaining about this and all

31:19

of these things. When we do have the

31:22

power, you already have the power. It's

31:24

your decision if you were gonna exercise

31:27

it, it's your decision. If you're gonna acknowledge it, it's

31:29

your decision of how you're gonna be responsible for

31:31

it. I just love this because

31:34

when I speak like this, it is a

31:36

hundred percent through the

31:38

energy of activating and inspiring

31:40

you and ministering to you. Now,

31:43

what that means for you and what you do with

31:45

it is up to you, honey boo. But

31:49

if it. As administered

31:51

and given you enough medicine to take action

31:54

or reach out because you know you're supposed to be on

31:56

this retreat. Please do, me

31:58

and my team are happy to chat with you. I'm happy

32:00

to chat with you. They'll support you in all the logistics

32:04

and if you

32:06

are like I, oh my

32:08

God, Ash, I really did need to hear that.

32:10

I'm still a little bit nervous. I need some

32:13

support in making this decision. Reach

32:15

out and. After

32:19

you get to the retreat, we can start

32:21

to work on how this

32:23

fear of taking action, fear

32:25

of following your desires, waiting

32:27

for more and more and more and

32:29

more evidence to build up before

32:32

you acknowledge and lean into

32:34

and accept and move through your

32:36

healing process. Like that's the stuff

32:38

that we are gonna do, the deeper work. That's

32:41

what happens at the retreat. Hm, because

32:43

let me tell you something. The difference to me

32:45

between healing and coaching

32:47

is coaching is the quick fix.

32:50

I want to help your mindset

32:53

shift so that you take action

32:55

and you achieve what you want and you're gonna have

32:57

some breakthroughs and you're gonna change as a person

32:59

along the way. Yes. Right, but

33:01

it is dealing with mind and action for

33:03

performance and outcome. What

33:06

we are doing as it relates to healing,

33:09

that the coaching then supports

33:11

is going into the deeper journey

33:13

of transformation we

33:16

need to get into. Why is

33:18

this continually being your thing? You

33:20

know, needing more evidence, putting it

33:22

off, talking yourself out of it. How

33:25

is that, Keeping a stronghold

33:27

over your life. It's

33:29

not just mindset, it's a whole belief

33:31

system. It's a whole energy thing. It's

33:33

a whole identity piece, right.

33:36

I. So that is the work

33:38

that we're gonna be doing over four

33:40

beautiful days in Baja, California.

33:42

Sir, we're gonna be flying into

33:45

Cabo St. Lucas. We're gonna have an amazing

33:48

team picking you up from the airport if

33:50

you didn't know. It is all inclusive,

33:52

so all you need to do is book in

33:54

your spot, book your flight, and

33:57

arrive there, ready

33:59

to be held. Ready to have

34:01

some fun, ready to meet some other

34:03

sisters. Which is not that

34:05

many. I love intimate groups. Um,

34:09

and to have beautiful four beautiful days

34:12

and to have four beautiful days

34:14

together. Alright,

34:16

so the question again I want you to sit with

34:19

is, why aren't you on the retreat yet? No, I'm kidding. I'm

34:21

kidding. I'm kidding. How

34:25

much more evidence do I need

34:27

to commit to my change in transformation

34:29

process? I want you to

34:31

marinate and meditate on that.

34:35

In the meantime, if this

34:37

episode has spoken to your

34:39

soul and your spirit, let me know.

34:42

I'd love to see you tag me. Um,

34:45

share this episode on social

34:47

media. Tag me in it. Leave

34:50

a rating. Leave a review. Um,

34:53

and yeah, let me know what you got

34:55

out of this. In the meantime,

34:57

I'm gonna be over here. Getting

35:00

ready for the retreat. We've got just a few

35:02

weeks, like literally, I think it's three weeks until

35:05

we are in opening ceremony.

35:08

So I'm gathering a whole bunch of lovely things for

35:11

us and I'm so looking forward

35:13

to seeing you there. If you have any questions,

35:15

do not hesitate to reach out And

35:18

per usual and always. I'm

35:21

sitting. You love wherever you are. I

35:23

hope you move with both courage and

35:25

compassion today as you walk your

35:28

path on this planet. I'm

35:30

sitting you lots of love.
