From Invisible To Authority

When I started my own business I was confronted with many blocks that kept me going round in circles and procrastinating moving forward. After coaching entrepreneurs I watched the same blocks appear over and over again for them.  There are lots of mindset blocks out there, but I’ve found the following three to be the ones that gave me and my clients (experts in their own right) the hardest time. 

As a therapist, you have the depth of knowledge in personal development to thrive in coaching and consulting but there are very important key pieces you need to be aware of.

You’re a proven expert. You’re ready to start a coaching/consulting business and take advantage of this huge industry boom! But the process can feel overwhelming and challenging. In this episode, I’ve compiled an essential five-step business startup checklist you can follow to get you started. 

Are there ways you can successfully self-promoting and networking during this pandemic without having to ignore your personality? Rethinking the Challenge is the key!!!!! In this episode, I will share simple ways you can let the world know about you, your expertise and business without feeling salesy, having to change your personality, or drain your energy!!!!

When faced with challenges or uncertainty, how do you move forward? When the world is so unpredictable, chaotic, challenging?   How can you make decisions, take actions, and create change and momentum when there is so much you don’t know?  

As women, we’ve got to STOP SETTLING and KEEPING OURSELVES at arm's length FROM what we so desperately want and rightfully deserve!!!! Enough thinking too small and inhibiting our desires!!!! I will share with you common money myths keeping women stuck and in a self-defeating cycle… Then I’ll share no-nonsense, no fluff steps to help get you to the other side. 

“Financial stress seems to trump almost every other kind of stress except health stress.” You can be carrying hidden programming that is specifically blocking your money, wealth, enjoyment of money, capacity for relationships, etc… literally setting the amount of money, wealth, happiness, debts you have in your life. Money stirs up emotions. Financial education is often seen as a solution, but not enough. The more "negative" emotions someone has attached to money the less likely they are to deal with it and anything related. And if they do just force themselves to push through it becomes overwhelming leaving them little energy and space left to engage in other areas of their lives like marriage, parenting, spirituality, etc. Understanding the dynamics of the thoughts and beliefs surrounding your financial situation gives you the power to change it.

You're ready to shift 2020!!!! You've had enough!!!! You had so many expectations for this year and so far, it's not going exactly as you planned. In this episode, I share simple tips you can implement immediately to start transforming what you're experiencing. I include a short guided abundance meditation to help you realign and open to more prosperity fast. You have the power to attract more business, money, love, health, and peace even during challenging times. Don't wait until the year is over and regret not doing something now!!!!

Trauma is a normal and unavoidable part of being human. Financial traumas can happen as a result of a divorce, bankruptcy, foreclosure, being a victim of a crime, emotional abuse or neglect, etc. When we face intense emotional experiences - relating to money- our beliefs, patterns of thinking and acting are shaped. They will not change unless we do.   The truth is that without examining our past experiences and working through any unfinished business, we're going to re-create over and over again the very situations we're trying to avoid. Join me in this episode where I will go deeper to help you identify your own financial traumas and get you started in the process of healing and releasing them.    

Trying to live a rich, wealthy life when you have a poor relationship with money is like trying to drive a car with one foot on the accelerator and the other one on the brakes.  You may occasionally make some progress, but in the end, no matter how hard you try you never seem to really get anywhere. Whatever meaning you are attaching to money is either drawing it closer or pushing it away. Your Relationship With Money is the Key to your Financial Freedom.

In this show, I list some of the most common financially limiting money scripts I’ve seen in my work with clients. When these scripts are not challenged they trigger frustrating self-sabotage that contributes to the most common self-limiting financial behaviors people struggle with. And these scripts could be keeping you right now, in this moment from making your goal of creating a financial freedom lifestyle and happiness a reality!

You're freaking tired of being burned by narcissists (friends, coaches, family, romantic or biz partners, etc.). You're determined to not have that happen again! You're committed to setting boundaries but... You're attracted to confident people... How can you tell between someone that's confident and someone who is a narcissist and dangerous for you to engage?

The holidays are around the corner and you have a full plate. You're still running your biz, serving your clients, goal setting for next year and you know its time to plan holiday festivities to create memories with your loved ones. You're doing all of that while having to deal with soul-sucking and energy-draining narcissists!!! It almost makes you feel a bit of dread trying to figure out how to get through it all. No worries, I'm here to give you some simple tips so you can thrive in biz and family time through this very special season!

Just about everyone has a complicated relationship with money. And this is the reason why they work hard, sacrifice time with their loved one, invest tons of resources to get to the next level in their financial freedom goal only to find themselves taking three steps forward and two steps back. Most people have no idea that a simple money story can become a money disorder. These are persistent patterns of self-sabotaging and self-limiting ways to behave with money. In this episode I go deeper into four groups of money disorders and what they look like.    Money avoiders believe they are undeserving of money or that money is bad. They often practice noble poverty and believe that wealthy people are greedy or corrupt.    Money worshipers are convinced that more money and more possessions will make them happy and solve their problems. At the same time, they never believe they have enough money.    Learn about the rest by listening in.   Money is a deep source of shame for many people, that’s why it remains such a taboo topic. At the same time, money is so powerful; it can easily become an instrument of control or even abuse.    Don't forget to join me in my Facebook group "From Invisible to Authority" where I teach live every week.

Finding yourself playing small, shrinking in the face of new and exciting opportunities, or maybe hiding in your personal life? Many times the prescription many "mindset experts" give everyone is "you need to fix your self-confidence." But after working with thousands of clients, I've found that many, many times this is not the case or the only variable. Many women are playing small in their biz and personal life because of hidden subconscious money story beliefs that trigger them to sabotage from amazing opportunities. Keeping them from showing up as an authority in their industry and being seen in their personal lives as amazing women who are ready and deserve love, nurturing, and respect.

Most of your struggles, setbacks, and lack of financial and emotional freedom are really caused by the lies society has tricked you into believing as truths. They have been secretly running the show behind your back and without your approval. This Stops NOW! It's time you set yourself free from all the outdated and limiting paradigms that until now you've allowed to keep you stagnant by recreating the same old patterns and cycles that derail you from the progress you're working so hard to achieve. In this episode, I dig deep into the ten lies that are limiting women from embodying their power and creating the freaking life they want and deserve!!!!

If you would have told me a years ago when I hid within the walls of my psychotherapy office that I would be standing on Amy Porterfield’s stage this week, or featured in Oprah magazine, hosting this podcast or consistently doing live streaming, I would have told you that you were for sure crazyyyyyyy!!! But here we are!!!!! I see you, you’re on a mission to change the world by serving your clients. And that means really getting you seen and your message heard by more people. But when you hear the word ‘marketing or self-promotion,’ you cringe. It feels exhausting and overwhelming.  You’re definitely not the type to stand up in front of a crowd, shouting, “Look at me, look at me!” And honestly, you don't have to. The trick is to identify and leverage your strengths. In this episode, I go deeper with real-life examples from my experience and my clients on how you can actually do this with minimum effort and maximum results. 

Let's be honest, some days we don't feel like we're superstars. Some days be feeling like anxiety and worry and the "what if's" are taking over our lives! We all experience those days where we know we need to show up, create and share some magic, but our body is trying to keep us in bed, under the covers and watching Netflix. We look at other people's social media and "comparisonitis" takes over crippling us even more! It's time to stop it. In this episode, I'll guide you through a series of questions to accelerate your aha's so you can uncover what's creating these breakdowns. Then I'll guide you through a series of scripts so you can release the old and outdated and start feeling powerful like the superstar you really are!

Creating a wealthy lifestyle that you can enjoy because you're fulling your purpose while experiencing peace of mind requires you to be attuned with your intuition. That's how you receive what I call "Divine downloads" that are packed with knowledge that comes directly from the source. It's the voice within yourself! Not the voice of the past programming you've received or the anxiety of fear of the uncertainty of the future. In this episode, we'll discuss how you can use the practice of mindfulness to have immediate access to the flow of information from your intuition!

Our intrinsic need to belong, be loved and accepted instead of judged or criticized can trigger a subconscious fear that leads us to self-sabotage the very business strategies that we've paid thousands for.  Our subconsciously programmed money scripts are driving many of our financial and biz behaviors.    As humans, we were created as social animals and our very survival for thousands of years depended on us being part of a tribe.   This is unknowingly creating our "invisible financial upper limit".   In this episode, I dive deep into how that subconscious desire to belong to is costing you your financial freedom without you even knowing it!

Are you a perfectionist? Ahhh is it keeping you from moving forward when you want to take big, bold moves? Take risks needed to create big payoffs? Triggering anxious feelings that block you from increasing your visibility consistently and instead lead you to shrink in the face of opportunities? In this episode, we dive into what is perfectionism (beyond the obvious signs), where it came from and how you can start to move forward beyond the cycle.

Have you been putting your big, bold plans on hold? Or maybe, you're used to doing the opposite running with an idea and taking quick action but then sabotaging those actions? You know that is time to go expand into the next level in your business and life but you can't see to make it work.  The world needs you! In this episode, we're going really deep about what shining really means, why it is a great thing, why you sabotage and how to start allowing yourself to shine! There has never been a more critical time to have a conversation about shining, being ok with your own power and stepping out there and being visible. 

Stress (whether you are aware or not) severely affects your possibilities to expand, create, and receive. It limits your ability to consistently be motivated, inspired, show up and manage your business and life in a way that flows and feels aligned. Let's go deeper. Is stress the reason for your lack of focus, productivity, and physical and financial woes?

The truth is that doing business (as a client, partner or coach/mentor) can cost you money, time, energy and chip away at your self-esteem making you feel powerless. Narcissists have an array of different manipulative strategies that can trick the unsuspecting (us non-narcissists) into thinking they’re the real deal.  In this episode, I will guide you through simple ways you can identify them before you’re it’s too late even if you’re not a mental health expert like me.

It's so easy to get stuck in a rut. You have goals but for some reason you are not reaching for them. You can get stuck in worry and self-judgment, afraid to make a decision or take action and it just feels hard to move on. Often it's the brightest, talented and experienced people who feel this the most. Change can be difficult, challenging and even painful, but nothing is worse than staying stuck somewhere you don't belong anymore. Especially when you know your potential and others, probably less experienced than you, zip by like they are on a high speed train. Stop holding yourself back from your potential. You know it's time to do something about this.

We’re experts, we have the knowledge and experience, we’re smart and qualified.  Why then are we either avoiding or enduring becoming visible in social media when we know is a must for our businesses to grow and for us to make more money? All the marketing experts agree that being visible, especially in video and having an active presence in social media, is the best way to create and connect effectively with an audience full of your ideal clients. Then why are we under utilizing these platforms?

5 Things I Q-U-I-T To Become A Successful Business Owner When I was broke, sick, single and hopeless I would have paid anything for someone to give me a 1, 2, 3 step list of how to change my circumstances.   The truth is that instead of doing something, I had to STOP DOING what I had been doing in order to TRANSFORM my life.   Listen in to see which ones you're doing right now and that are keeping you from creating the consistent results you so desperately want but seem to be eluding you even thought you're doing everything "right".

As a business owner you're aware of how busy the marketplace is right now. You know that you've got to cut through noise in order to be seen by your ideal clients.

Your heart races because You can hear the calling from within. You have something important to say.   The world needs your voice more than ever. It needs to hear from conscious women like you!     Women who are freaking ready to create positive change in the world.   The "good girl" inside of us gets triggered any time you and I want step out of our comfort zone. Being visible goes against the "good girl" programming, let alone disrupting the status quo with our message.   It's time you started unpacking the "Good Girl" and embracing and embodying the powerful woman you are!

I'm so excited that you're reading this. I learned about manifesting when I was around 33 years old and severely ill, single, broke and had to move in with my parents because I could not work. I had definitely reached my bottom.  Meanwhile, I saw others thrive and get what they wanted. Did they know something I didn't? What was I missing? Was there a way for me to change or transform what was my current life situation? I became a sort of detective and research scientist all in one. I read books, took courses, hired mentors and coaches and even went back to school and became a psychotherapist.I discovered that I was burdened by the baggage of old programmed beliefs that were weighing heavy and blocking my efforts to create the life I wanted. I created a system to unpack the baggage and release the blocks keeping me from wealth, health and love! I implemented the same steps that I'm sharing with you in this episode and was in awe of the results.

We've believed the story that we must show up as super women who have it all together in our business and personal lives! And in today's marketplace we're driven to rely more and more on our online presences. When you're in business you’ve got to constantly market your business aggressively while remaining “authentic”.

Why is your story such a powerful tool in your business? It helps you increase engagement, build trust and can facilitate huge expansion for your reach.  It enables you to create and develop a special bond with your audience. Storytelling is a fundamental human experience that unites people and drives stronger, deeper connections.  Why should a consumer give you their attention, time, energy, money?  Give them a reason to care.

Is there such a thing as fear of success? Yes, there is, and it leads to self sabotage! So many experts subconsciously cripple their business growth because of a programmed fear of actually succeeding. We will address the following questions which drive much of the worry and fear of being successful and reaching our goals.  Would I become a different person as a result of being a successful entrepreneur?

When you lack clarity you feel confused, overwhelmed and lost.    Sometimes you can’t seem to make the right decisions and lack energy, focus, vision and motivation.   Once you make a shift and get clarity your creativity, inspiration and drive remarkably improve.    This helps you make choices that better align with the success you want.

Are you working really hard but it seems like outside forces are acting against your success?   Here is the thing, you can  desire, dream, work super hard even journal and create a vision board and still not achieve your goals.   What?

In this episode we dig deep into where this set point is coming from and how to raise it to allow for what you really want.

Introversion or social anxiety?   For most of my life I used introversion as an excuse to procrastinate getting out there and being visible. I did not know that, yes, I was introverted but I was also socially anxious. The anxiety was actually triggering my self-sabotage around visibility.   The great news is that people like me can still be successful in becoming extremely visible and successful.    The truth is we need extra support when it comes to getting ourselves out there in a way that is nurturing to us instead of overwhelming and even debilitating. In in this show, we're going talk about the differences between introversion and social anxiety. And we even give tips for showing up as you are, with confidence!

It's the same framework I use to teach and support my clients.

Feel like everyone has to accept you to considered successful? Hiding, shrinking and afraid to become visible and share your message? That's a huge challenge, because growing and expanding a business requires you to tell others your purpose. Constantly adapting the message to please everyone distracts from your message and the business. You have to ask yourself, is your business to make everyone else happy, or create financial freedom for you and your family?
