I am writing this to you for transparency. I thought that if I hadn’t had hardship, risen from a massive set back.. .Then who was I to have success…So weird!? It was like a guilt and shame around being successful. I was taught from a young age that you work hard, get a secure job and that’s your lot. Other people, the beautiful people, a certain class of person was successful.
It was my belief in the BS stories & the pre-programming that was holding me back.
Simple. True and very real.
What made someone else different from me?
I have been told since high school that I was a natural born leader, that I inspired others. I always brushed that aside, and didn’t allow the compliments. I never believed it. I didn’t know that I was constantly running away from my true self. Truth be told (well that is why we are here right!) is that my dad left when I was 5 and I stopped loving myself. Simple. True and very real. You know the story looking for love in ALL the wrong places. When you come from a broken home (gosh I hate that term!) you rebuild the walls…Except you put them around your heart, your self belief and you play small. Shit. My truth just spoke to me.
So learning to ‘do’ life, then to ‘do’ marriage, then to ‘do’ motherhood with walls up has been…Well a freakin struggle. It has been like bloody rapunzel in her goddamn tower!!!
What made me let my hair down? How did I build a draw bridge to create a life I truly loved?
I remember standing on the edge looking at everyone else & their fancy freedom & their own passionate-led business. I wanted to be making differences, solving problems and so being employed was just too painful. I knew that there would never be the right time or the right amount of money in my bank account. So I leaped.
It turned when I took all my courage to leave my secure job, to follow my dreams. I didn’t know that when I left I brought with me self doubt & pleasing others. I set up my business the “right” way but made no money fast ahahahha.
Telling the world (aka. your family) you are leaving their perceived comfort zone, the security blanket is one of the hardest parts. It brings out your husband’s fears, your parents fears and hell everyone has a damn opinion based on their fears. I remember someone telling me to just visualise how I wanted to be and feel. I still remembering thinking what is this strange stuff?!?! how can it just be that simple…
Tall poppy syndrome was spoken a lot in my family. A certain class or privileged person did things a certain way. I had a strong calling that I was here for more at a very young age. I always saw myself on stage leading and inspiring.
Deciding to leave your job for the world of “you are on your own now” can be big bad and scary…OR so you have been led to believe. The truth is that there are tribes of women out there waiting to lift you up. Help you light your own olympic torch and introduce their new bouncy tigger friend off. Because that is what happens when you spend days doing what you love, doing what you are born to do. Even if you think you know what you want to do… You are going to get the ride of your life. There is no destination so stop wanting to send the postcard. It is all about the journey.
My greatest hope is that you stay open to the possibilities. You are going to become more than you thought possible. Trust me. It happened to me, and I thought I wasn’t worthy of such experiences. Remember I build walls of stone around my heart!
I send you love and light and you fight the battle inside your head. The voices, the programming, the belief systems, the value gauge, the damn ego as you scream into the wind… “I am worthy, I can do this”
My promise to you is that I will never forget that battle. The one you are the captain of now. I will stay sympathetic to you. But sista I won’t let you put up your white flag in surrender. When you drop to your knees in exhaustion, perspiration, desperation and when you eyeball the feck out of me because you are hurting so bad… I will stay beside you. Because you are worthy of a beautiful business that you L.O.V.E
The ironic thing is that you have already created a life you thought possible…So that is evidence that you can create more of what you do want! HOW OUTRAGEOUSLY cool is that!
I want you to say yes to that burning desire. To shrug off that damn corporate cloak, childhood pasts and run free in the moonlight! Freedom to be who you are is the most amazing gift to yourself. It beats the socks off money…
I promise to stay real, authentic and open with you. To show you how I have built my business warts and all (Ok the warts will be an extra charge!) This is why I created my business bootcamps to invite you into a group of like-minded women. It is an amazing time in our world to help each other as a tribe not a lonesome wolf.
