I fell in to the trap...

My life changed.

I was attached to the roles I had held that were all of a sudden GONE.

I allowed myself to fall in to fear.

Which is kinda funny as for years I was FEARLESS when it came to business.

I took risks...

I dared to dream and dream big.

I took ever shot that appeared before me...

And I DID IT.

But one cold Halloween day the rug was pulled out from under me and in a moment I was LOST.

It's funny  how we internalize roles and and come to see them as our identities.

So in a way I LOST MY IDENTITY and in that moment I became

PARALYZED

Maybe you've gone through this.

Got layed off or broke up or became an empty nester.

And all of a sudden you don't know who you are anymore.

When this happens the paralysis can be so profound it becomes almost impossible to do the things you had always done before.

And the couch becomes your home.

Netflix your best friend...

And if you are anything like me a bucket of fried chicken and some chardonnay become substitutes for the thing you THINK you lost.

And then you have to make a decision.

Are you gonna sit or are you gonna GET UP.

I have to admit...I let myself sit for a while but my make up is of a warrior.

So I HAD to GET UP.

It's my code.

And what I want to share with you today is that during this time I learned that the belief that a role is WHO I AM is completely false.

And all that I need sits inside of me.

No...

I am not doing the rah rah motivational stuff

I hate that junk.

I am talking to you from the depths of my soul about a 4 year period of soul searching and self analysis.

Took me time to realize I was not a role or a title.

I am SO much more.

And SO ARE YOU.

I was fortunate.

When the paralysis struck in my life I had residual income to live on while I mourned my lost roles.

But most people don't have that luxury so they have to go to work and suffer.

And many never escape the paralysis and NEVER go after their dreams.

Horrible cycle and I am SO thankful I had resources when things were rough.

Wanna know what pulled me out?

PEOPLE

Getting back around people.

Community.

I stopped isolating and came out to play again!

I let the sun shine on me <3

And little by little I started to feel like myself.

And the money started rolling in too.

It's just simple OSCILLATION 

Ya gotta be moving for what you want to happen.


Anyways...

Just some thoughts on a Sunny Sunday.

I'm here if you are looking for a runny buddy.

Open to a few new clients or if you are not ready for one on one ask me about my private group.

Gonna be loading it up with GOLD in the days and weeks to come.

OR...

If you are looking for an opportunity you can ask me about that too.

I'd love to talk to you about it.


Just hit me up



See ya in the sunshine...
