Do You Desire Authentic Connection, Acceptance, and Peace in Your Life?

A few things I’ve been hearing from women a lot lately is a desire for authentic deep connection, genuine acceptance, and for life to feel more peaceful, joyful, harmonious, and just a little easier. 

Honestly, if any of that rings true for you too, I feel you. 

I have definitely felt my share of insecurity, disconnection, and I used to regularly numb myself from the realities of my life until I discovered 3 little secrets that have led to freedom, confidence, and the ease I experience in my life now. 

Now, I am committed to guiding women along their own journey to experience this same liberation! 

Now, I feel confident and know how to cultivate a sustained sensation of peace, nurture all types of authentic relationships, and feel balanced and well in my body and mind. 

Let me just say, It wasn't always like this...

I used to regularly feel overwhelmed. I was trapped in cycles of high highs and low lows. I would distract myself from these chaotic fluctuations by constantly being busy which only provided momentary breaks and never really helped me feel any better. I was stuck on a hamster wheel of my own emotions, mindset, beliefs, and habits.  

Do you ever find yourself stuck and/or caught in the current of overwhelm? 

From the outside looking in you would never have guessed this about me… I looked like I had it together. But as I’m sure you know, how you appear on the outside doesn’t always reflect what's going on deep inside. Just look at most of our social media feeds...

I was wearing the mask of an easy-going, always positive person with lots of energy who could get a job done.   

But behind closed doors, I felt depleted, tired, and caught in comparison mode, feeling like I was never enough. I felt disconnected from people around me and lost sight of what I truly wanted. I was also using substances (like pot & alcohol) a lot, which only exacerbated the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde dynamic life. 

I was fueled by the need for the approval of others, and I was making choices based on what I thought others wanted from me. 

Do you ever feel like this?  

For me, it built up slowly over time.  It was something that I didn’t even realize was happening. Until I did. I just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was really off.

I had lost my mom when I was 23 and moved away from most of my closest friends, so in this time that I was feeling really lonely, I realized that I was missing a deep authentic connection with other women. 

I was truly adrift and I had to do something quick (but what?!)

The turning point for me was when I discovered a women’s circle. It was like a deep exhale.  I finally found a place where I felt like I could show up bringing exactly what was alive for me without needing to pretend like I had it all together or all my shit figured out. 

I wish I could tell you that what followed was like entering the Emerald City.  Remember that moment in The Wizard of Oz,  when everything turned to color and was full of hope, bliss, and ease?  (But that would NOT be the heroine's journey, would it?)

While there were some glimpses of feeling like I was coming home, there was A LOT of deconstruction and letting go of my old identity that needed to happen. 

It was messy and uncomfortable.

I was doing my best to trust the process and that it would all come together.  That all the skills I had acquired in my life, things I learned, and the person I was becoming throughout the exploration would deliver to me where I needed to be.

I was curious, how the work I was doing was going to show up? 

Would everything around me change? 

Would my marriage fall apart? 

Would I feel the need to escape the life I created to follow my true dreams? 

Guess what?  It was none of that.  

Everything inside of me changed.  I want to tell you more about that journey tomorrow night during a live webinar that will reveal the secrets that have made all the difference for me and all the women I’ve worked with.

So where are you on your journey? 

Are you ready to take the steps necessary to stop wishing for things to be a certain way and actually make it happen?
