Who are you? I mean, in your CORE, who are you? ⁣
⁣
Yeah, I know, it’s not always easy to answer, is it?⁣

And, yet, I think it’s one of the most essential questions you can ask yourself. ⁣
⁣
✨ Getting clarity about what makes you tick and sharing that with the world = scary AND exhilarating (Kinda’ like posting your art online. 😉)⁣
⁣
The alternative? Feeling blah, confused, directionless, uninspired. And nobody wants that, right? ⁣
⁣
When you acknowledge, embrace, and unleash all of you, that’s when you find peace, joy and fulfillment.⁣
⁣
👉 So, tell me: Who are you? And what have you come to this world to do?⁣

Do you ever get all pumped up about your New Year’s goals and then a week later your energy has fizzled?

Me too. And sometimes it’s bc I get in my own way.

How? Here’s a recent example: For the first time since I’ve been in business, I set an actual revenue goal for 2021. Like with real actual numbers! LOL

A couple days later I spotted this “Moneyfly Mandala” by @arthurbeckerart in a lobby in Boston.

I was starting to get excited that this might be some sort of “message from the universe” about my financial goal. And then my inner critic/doubter piped up, “Nah! Can’t you see this is just a tongue in cheek observation about money!?” Cue sinking feeling...

Then I noticed an installation called “Moneyflies” on the opposite wall of the lobby. Now I felt even more deflated. “Okay, so my conjecture was correct - this is about the fleeting nature of money”, I told myself.

Guess what?! 5 mins after I took these photos, I got an inquiry about my coaching and 5 mins after that, someone reached out to ask about my workshops!

Who knows whether either will pan out?! What I do know is the stories that we tell ourselves really matter. A lot. They can clip our wings. Or they can lift us up and help our dreams take flight.

What story are you telling yourself? I can help you flip that script and move toward you the life you want. DM me to set up a free consult.

If you’re new here, welcome, bienvenido and hoşgeldiniz! We’re wondering, wandering, and making whoopee about creativity, culture, and curiosity. So if all that is your jam, too, you're in the right place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Well, hello there, and Happy New Year! Now that we've made it into January, I'd love to hear your word of the year, if you've got one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪁Behold my word for 2021: LIGHTEN UP! (Yes, I know it's two words but allow me to explain.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to do and experience some big things this year, and I want my path there to feel joyous, expansive, authentic, and freeing. (And, yes, I'd love all that for you and for everyone else on the planet, too).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even though I'll be traveling light this year, I'm tucking in some other goodness for the 2021 journey. So, I'm welcoming aboard:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Release and Acceptance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Flexibility and Structure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Levity and Reverence⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Depth and Delight⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Goofiness and Grace⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mostly, though, my aim is to infuse "lightness" in all my endeavors.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned for more info about what this means for YOU!
