Bragging rights – not

Every entrepreneur wants to share her clients’ massive successes. They want to inspire you with what is possible and make themselves top of mind when you want the same results. It’s business.

What I don’t see discussed very much is down turns.

And, dammit, I’m in one.

Highs go with lows. After 16 years in business, I know this to be an absolute fact. Except this time, I don’t seem to care.

It’s scaring me a bit.

I’m not bothered by anything that’s not working. I don’t feel compelled to create something new and dazzling. I definitely don’t have the urge to do a big launch, splash my face all over social media or find some new platform or app to shake things up.

It’s got me thinking that maybe my time is up. Or maybe I need a very long vacation.

Or both of those may be true.

Over the years, my clients have hired me to build stronger businesses, write books, land speaking engagements, fill client rosters and bank accounts, and more. I help them do it all the time.

Yet I’m finding these days that I’m happier to have people work with me on themselves, on figuring out what they want (you’d be amazed at how many only want something because they think they’re supposed to), and feeling better about who they are. The people who just want to feel comfortable in their own skin, who sometimes simply need permission to feel how they feel.

Money and business-building are so easy, they’re almost boring. Does that mean my career is over, or morphing again? I can’t decide.

Things that light me up:

  • taking clients out to the herd of horses so they can see their own impact and if it’s who they want to be
  • forest immersions and learning via nature (trees talk, btw, and plants share healing energy)
  • normalizing emotions and helping people give themselves permission to live on their own terms

The irony here is all of those things actually make people better equipped to deal with the stress of business and life. They are all modalities that reset the nervous system and show you where you need to shore up your own emotional intelligence.

Obviously, they aren’t sexy 6-figure promises. That generally means people new to coaching have no clue about their value. And those who have been in this industry for a while know they need it, but they also know that’s going to mean getting off the hamster wheel, no longer hustling and changing how they show up. And they’re scared to do it.

Meanwhile, I’m over here – having gone through that entire transformation almost 6 years ago – waiting for the world to catch up.

Spirituality and frequency are the current buzzwords. I figure the next evolution will be serious mental health care. I may or may not be waiting.

The Ancient Magic of Natural Elements

Dear Diary,

In the realm of witchcraft and spiritual practices, the use of natural elements holds a deep-rooted significance.

People see cartoons of cauldrons and people with black hats and have no earthly idea how potent the rituals, ceremonies and practices of a well-trained witch can be…

I prefer to work with the elements of feather, bone, leaf, and stone. Each carries its own history, symbolism, and energy that has been revered for centuries.

Feathers have long been associated with messages from the spirit world and symbolic meanings across various cultures. In many traditions, feathers are seen as a link between the earthly realm and the divine, representing communication with the higher realms and spiritual guidance. The presence of feathers in rituals and ceremonies is believed to bring blessings, protection, and insight, making them powerful tools for invoking the wisdom of the heavens.

Bones hold a primal and transformative energy, symbolizing strength, resilience, and the cycle of life and death. In spiritual practices, bones are revered for their connection to ancestral wisdom, protection, and the grounding energy of the earth. Using bones in rituals can serve as a channel for ancestral spirits, inner strength, and transformation, embodying the cyclical nature of existence and the deep roots of tradition and wisdom.

Leaves are emblematic of growth, renewal, and the ever-changing cycles of nature. In magic and witchcraft, leaves are revered for their connection to the plant kingdom, representing abundance, vitality, and the harmonious balance of life. The use of leaves in rituals can symbolize new beginnings, healing, and a deep attunement to the natural world, fostering a sense of rejuvenation and alignment with the rhythms of the earth.

Stones have a timeless and enduring presence, embodying stability, grounding energy, and the ancient wisdom of the earth. Throughout history, stones have been revered as sacred symbols of protection, strength, and spiritual power. Incorporating stones in rituals can enhance clarity, balance, and connection to the earth, serving as anchors for grounding energy, protection, and inner harmony.

Witches are stewards of the land. Use natural elements to guide you toward a deeper connection, more attuned inner wisdom, and broader spiritual growth. The significance of each element is undeniable.
