When she said "this is literally the last place anyone wants to look when it comes to their growth, and they'll avoid it their whole lives because it's so taboo - and yet, it's the one thing that makes the biggest difference."
At that moment, I knew it was my responsibility to go there too. No matter what else that meant for my life.
Instead of feeling like you need to match the pace of the world around you - even when there are deadlines, I invite you to do this instead:
Take a deep breath - or ten. Remember that time was made up. Ask yourself what you need to do right now to feel massive joy, release, and an increase in energy, Go do it.
..So own ALL of you, and go bigger. Lean in. Stay there. If you feel like you're too much, own it. If you feel like you're too "out-there", own it. If you think there's something you need to hide in your strategy, share it. If you think "nobody is going to accept me", accept yourself, and go bigger. Let people see you as you are, in all your glory - the way you love to be - especially when nobody is watching.
He nonchalantly called my life’s work "inspirational shit". This is what I did. So next time you're on that metaphorical bus, know this:
In every moment you have a choice.
…You can choose to let the spiteful, jealous, triggered remarks sink in as a sign to pipe down and hide away. You can catch that disease and wear it as a skin suit. …
Or, you can take it as a sign you're right where you need to be. You're shining bright enough that the people who are here for life will be able to find you, see you, seek you out and stick around.
You don't require an absence of fear to show up and do the thing, you require an absence of belief in that fear.
Maybe that fear is a great sign you're right where you need to be - and more on track than you'll ever know. Maybe, if you give it a whirl for a moment, you'll meet yourself in a new light. You'll get to experience yourself as a triumph over what you previously perceived as reality; your fear.
Foggy…The puzzle pieces are all there, but they have slowly taken shape over time, and some pieces don't make sense yet because there's stuff to learn - the goal is so big it will force you to become someone new to attain it.
First place mindset people - winners - have foggy dreams that become more comprehensive, compelling and impossibly beautiful as time goes on.
…I'm also all for trusting in your timing though. ….And for a high performer, someone who is educated in their field, who has runs on the board, who understands their level of risk adversity, who already plays a big game in some way, who is self-aware, and who is deeply connected to their intuition, timing is everything.
Sometimes it makes no logical sense, and the pressure is on, but the answer is still a heart-centred, full-body, not yet.
Because when you see and trust that everything is always in the right alignment, (… even when it's not the timing you want, or it doesn't go the way you want, …) there's no such thing as a problem.
I used to imagine when I had "made it" in business (whatever that means) it'd be something similar to what happens when you win a world title in Karate.
I remember people squealing and hugging me and shaking me and all the rest, and inside, feeling like the same person I was yesterday.
I had no idea what I was in for. I mean, I've been to a sauna before - but this was meant to be a tiny hut on the ground you sweat in for over 2 hours (I never lasted longer than about 10 minutes!) and get to temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius! THIS IS NOT WHAT IT’S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE!
Often, fully living requires awkwardness, messing up, failing, being uncomfortable, scared, vulnerable, learning to use your hands in a different way or your voice in a different way, frightened of possible death and….. The only time when the fear is real, is when you let the feeling stop you from living fully.
In all the work I do, even with my millionaire clients - we do money work. Money work is about mindset work. “Wealth” is a holistic word, you can feel rich and have no money in the bank.
A brilliant way to shift your world, especially your experience of money, is to first realise just how much choice you have, and then, make a new choice. In this video, I’m sharing my money mindset upgrade story. I hope you enjoy it.
I was having a conversation with one of my personal clients yesterday about the things she thought made her a "freak" in high school, are actually the things she's seeing now, are her magical superpowers.
You’re not here to live a life akin to the status quo - in fact I know you’ve at least questioned it - more than once. We’re here to have fulfillment on top of success. You’re no stranger to achieving.
This could possibly be the best piece of advice... for your former self - and yet right now, the piece of advice that is completely stunting you.

You may remember about a year ago, I introduced you to a very special woman in my life. How beautiful, and special, that today, on International Womens Day, I get to reintroduce you to her, to go deeper on what we spoke about, after her beautiful book, Lunar Abundance, has been in the world for a year now.
This is a testimonial to life. Life taught me to follow my gut many years ago. When I look back, this is precisely how I met my man, got into flow, and started living my dream. Here's to universal laws, they're true blue!
