Coaching Session Riff: What if you're the only one holding you back?

I have a treat for you!

In a recent live coaching call, I challenged our group to name a dream they were actively bringing to life and then think of ways they could live as if it were real now.

From moving to Thailand and trips to Italy to al fresco dinner parties and girls weekends, the dreams came rolling out with momentum.

Suddenly I asked one of my students “what’s stopping you from creating your dream scenario now?”

She stopped for a moment and quietly replied “I’m realizing…nothing!”

And this vdeo is what I shared afterward.

After I shared this content, the group began cheering and encouraged me to somehow capture this for others.

We all knew this message was important and so I’m sharing it with you today in this brief 2 minute coaching session snippet.

If you felt inspired or motivated from this video, I’d love for you to leave me a comment sharing how this spoke to you.

You can fly-you just didn’t know you had wings.

I love you,

Stephanie

Would you drive with your parking brake on?

The one where we thought the car was about to explode

I remember the first time I learned what a parking brake was. We had just moved across the country and our grandparents were visiting us. My mom and I hopped in the car and took off down the road after my pop pop had driven it. 

Shortly after we started driving, my mom started saying “uh oh…something’s wrong. UH OH. OH NO! WHAT IS GOING ON??” Suddenly I saw smoke coming out from under the hood as we drove and my mom pulled over. We were like a block from our house and yet, I was already envisioning a dramatic car explosion! Should I make a run for it before I inevitably went FLYING through the air like I saw in the tv shows?

*my mental image of what was about to happen to our poor car. Very dramatic, Stephanie

I think I volunteered to give my mom jumper cables as I was preparing to make a run for it (not helpful…) Meanwhile, she was calling our home on her nokia cell to get some help with the billowing car. I remember my pop pop telling her that when he had parked the car, he had engaged the parking brake. All she had to do (after the car was cooled down) was disengage the parking brake and she’d be able to drive safely again.

Soon we were on our merry way, driving smoothly again. The solution was simple. And yet, we couldn’t see it at first.

I think back to this moment often. I feel like it so accurately represents our personal growth journeys. As I’ve coached over a few years, I’ve seen the parking-brake mentality over and over again. 

What is the parking brake mentality?

*another fateful car episode, this time at the age of 23-I really just couldn’t nail the use of those jumper cables…keep reading.

It’s this idea that we want a result in our businesses-a success indicator perhaps. We want a fully booked calendar, to be in-demand, we want multiple 5-figure months, or we just really want to work exclusively with clients who value us and that we love being connected to. 

And we know deep down, we’ve got some limiting beliefs or SOME kind of mindset issues making that feel impossible. But...would changing your mindset really change your results? 

You’re not sure, so you choose something that feels a little more tangible. You hire assistants or ads managers or marketing directors or publicists. And now you’ve just created a more expensive problem. 

So you try again. Now you invest in courses and programs that teach you how to run ads yourselves or write better marketing copy, or host the perfect, lucrative launch. 

Now you’ve got it!

Except...you still don’t get those results you want. 

*does this sound like you? If so, take my free Money Blocks Quiz

And yet you forge ahead, seeing the smoke coming from under the proverbial hood, wondering what’s wrong, feeling like progress is SO hard to make. But also pressing that gas pedal even harder. 

Once we realize that no matter how hard we press on the gas, driving forward is an uphill battle, we stop and freak out about all the things going wrong. We see the smoke and imagine we’re about to self-destruct. 

When we aren’t getting the results we want in our businesses, it can feel rewarding to choose some kind of solution we want to help us change that. 

*this ended poorly. no cars exploded…but there was a fire and lots of screaming.

Running your business without clearing your mindset blocks is like driving with the parking brake on

But like 13 year old me handing my mom jumper cables for a parking brake, it doesn’t matter what the solution is and how good it feels to be doing SOMETHING to solve our issue if it’s still the wrong solution. 

Running your business without clearing your mindset blocks and limiting beliefs is a lot like driving with a parking brake on. 

Is it possible? Yes. Is it sustainable? No. Will it give you the results you want? No. 

Accomplishing the results we want doesn’t have to constantly feel so hard. It doesn’t have to feel like pushing a boulder uphill or...driving with the parking brake on. 

Instead, you can create a life where you set goals, take action, and regularly accomplish them. As you do this over and over, you begin doing it faster and collapsing the time it takes you to get your results. 

This is what’s possible when we begin with our mindset. You CAN have the results you desire. You DO have a business capable of creating the income you desire. You do have a personality that magnetically draws in those dream clients who just GET you. There IS a reality in which you get to be wildly successful and deeply loved.

Let’s start that transformation by taking my free Money Blocks Quiz and find out what problems to clear up first. 

I’m ready for your transformation when you are!

How to get the results you want in business

I’m in the middle of a hair transformation (more info and pics below!) and while styling my newly wavy hair, I realized something important! 

If you’ve ever felt stuck, limited, or like no matter what you learn, you keep recreating the same unwanted results in your business, this video is for you-watch or read on:

My hair story: 

I  used to have thick, fine, straight hair. It was heavy and silky and didn’t really hold a curl. But I tried my darndest to get my slippery hair to hold a curl. I’d curl it, use product and it would look curly...but at the end of the day, my hair was still straight no matter what I did. 

I couldn’t curl my hair and hope I now had “curly hair.”

And then I had a baby. And suddenly I found myself with poufy hair that was wirey and weirdly straight on top and tightly kinked underneath. 

(photos below of my hair before learning to style wavy/curly hair)

I stumbled across the curly girl method and began playing with this approach to hair care and I started seeing results! When I started viewing my hair as curly, I fundamentally changed how I cared for my hair from washing all the way through styling. And I started seeing those kinks turn to curls and waves start forming on my top layer. 

(photos below of my progress using the curly-girl method)

I’m still in the middle of this transformation, but it’s already taught me a few things about business.

What my hair transformation taught me about feeling stuck in business

So often, I talk with business owners who aren’t getting the results they want in business. They’re struggling with things like: 

• Repeated low-income months

• Clients who break contract on them

• Potential clients who ghost them

• People only interested in free content

• being maxed out for time and not able to take on new clients, even though they need to make more money.

• Being afraid to raise their rates because they believe they’ll lose clients.

They’ll even tell me “I know I have a lot of limiting beliefs around money. I see it. I just think that if I learn how to launch my online course and get a little revenue coming in there first, then I can work with you to change my mindset.”

And boy do they come back to work with me alright...just not the way they envisioned...Here’s what really happens.

They take said course or program. They learn how to create and launch their online course, make facebook ads, write better sales copy, market better on instagram, and more. And then I hear from them about 6 months later and they say something like: 

“Hey Stephanie! Remember me?” (of course I do!) “so, I think I’m ready to do mindset work. I know what I want to create (often passive income of some sort), and I learned how to do it. But I feel paralyzed to actually take action. I have all these limiting beliefs around doing this and making money from it and I need to get to the bottom of it.”

What’s really happening when we’re not getting the results we want:

I see this so often it’s not funny! And here’s what’s really happening:

Just like it didn’t work to curl my hair and hope it would become curly, you can’t learn a skill and hope it makes you successful. 

Once I had the inner transformation on my hair, I then had clarity to learn the right skills for what I wanted to accomplish-and they were COMPLETELY different skills!

So often, when we skip our own mindset blockages and limiting beliefs, we don’t even have the clarity to learn the right skills. I was learning new ways to use my curling iron and it was damaging my hair. Once i had my curly hair, I saw that I had to treat it as curly hair and learn from people who HAD curly hair.

I started buying different shampoos and products and learning how to style it correctly (hello plopping and low-heat styling!) And the kinks began turning to curls. The wirey hair began turning wavy. I started getting results.

How changing your mindset changes your results

It’s the same with your mindset.

When you know you’ve got some mindset issues holding you back-whether it’s limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, comparison, feeling paralyzed, afraid to be seen, scared to outshine a loved one, and more, you’ll be learning skills from a jaded point of view and you won’t really solve your problem.

On the other hand, if you START with inner transformation, you approach your problem completely differently and you see different solutions and learn different skills.

You can stop throwing money down the drain on programs that don’t move the needle in your business and start fresh.

My personal experience learning about my mindset blocks

You can build true momentum in your business. I know because I’ve done it for myself.

I’ve been where you are. I’ve hired the right people and learned the influential skills. And then I’d stare at my bank account and see that it was far from thriving. 

Last year, I got sick and tired of it and knew it was time for a change. 

I walked myself through a complete mindset overhaul and saw that while I indeed had limiting beliefs...one of my biggest mindset blocks around money wasn’t limiting beliefs at all, but rather an emotional block!

I was shocked!

And as I cleaned up my mindset, rewired my unconscious mind for success, and acted from that place, I went from a $500 month to a $10k month. 

But...could I do it again? Or was it just a fluke? And then I created a $25k month and more multiple 5 figure cash months after that. My income would still fluctuate, but in the high income months, there were a few things that remained the same. 

I had cleared unconscious blocks. I had repatterned my mind for success. And I acted from that place. No more rando desperation hires. No more last-ditch efforts and enrolling in program after program. I felt assured and confident-I felt…aligned! And I ended up actually spending less in my business because I had a clear plan now!

I want this for you. But the undeniable truth is that you must must must start with your mindset, not your skillset.

How to let go of regret and collapse time to your results

In today’s video, I’m sharing my personal philosophy that has helped me let go of regret and collapse time to my desired results. This is a really special topic to me personally and will especially resonate with you if you’ve struggled with self-doubt, self-sabotage, a fixed mindset, and you struggle to love yourself.

A growth mindset lets go of regret and gets results faster and faster.

This mindset that I discuss in this post is a growth mindset. A growth mindset is one that learns to let go of old paradigms of failure where our past experiences are wasted when we can’t see an immediate success, and instead learn to see every life experience as a learning and growth experience. This includes growth in learning to love and approve of ourselves, first and foremost!

In today’s video, we’re talking through:

• My story with regret and results (hint: regret IS the result)

• My personal operating agreements

• How that helped me collapse time to my results

• How this works for other people.

• Setting goals that are aligned and help you build momentum

• Collapsing time to your results

• How to hook future-you up with how you think, feel, and act now.

• Your quantum leap simply depends on your willingness to keep going

• Your future thoughts about how you’re showing up now will reflect how you think now about your past.

• Self-source your love and admiration and excellence.

Featured: She Did it Her Way Podcast

I recently had the honor of sitting down with Amanda Boleyn of the She Did It Her Way Podcast and share my story about changing my mindset to create my dream business.

The truth is-10 years ago, I would NEVER have been able to envision a life where I loved my work and never tired of it. At that time I was having panic dreams about teaching.

So much has changed and it began with me cracking the door open to a better life with the question: “what if it gets better? What if I get to have a life I love?”

*Podcast show notes shared with permission from She Did it Her Way. Listen to the interview and read the full show notes here

How It All Started

Going back about ten years, Stephanie was teaching 5th grade making roughly $20,000 a year. She ‘thought’ that is what she was supposed to be doing and her whole life was really based around following the rules. She was barely making ends meat and just thought that was they way it was ‘supposed’ to be because someone else was giving her a paycheck and paying for her benefits package. What more could she want? 

Looking back, however, Stephanie can see how genuinely unhappy she was. She was struggling with stress dreams and while she was only contracted to work 30-35 hours per week she generally found herself working closer to 50 or even 60 hours per week.

Around the same time Stephanie married her husband, whom was in the process of starting his own photography business. During the wedding planning process he would occasionally slip in a logo he wanted her opinion on and because she was deep in ‘decision-making-mode’ she would quickly answer, not thinking much about it. It hasn’t occurred to her that he was hoping she would join his business. Eventually she realized she could provide some value in this business and began assisting in the process. 

In 2015, Stephanie lost her teaching job and financially they were stable and she had replaced her income, had landed them amazing opportunities to photograph all over the world, and secured them space in top publications and magazines. But at the same time something was holding her back. She suddenly couldn’t seem to secure new bookings and didn’t know why. The reality was, she was only doing things that she knew she could do. Anything that could result in a possible rejection, she wouldn’t follow through with. 

This was what self-sabotage looked like through her lens. It looks different for each of us but for Stephanie, she believed that if she overfilled her schedule and then started with the easy stuff she would eventually build up momentum to tackle reach the hard stuff. It wasn’t working and she never actually followed through. Those tasks just got moved to the next day. So every day there would be 4-5 things that never got done and would again be moved to the following day. All of these tasks revolved around sales and marketing activities. She had become so focused on what her peers might think of her that she forgot about the bigger picture, realizing they weren’t her ideal clients in the first place. The good thing is Stephanie learned how to turn that around in the future.

Stephanie’s mental health began to struggle during this time more as well and she began having daily panic attacks, until finally it all came to a head. One day she was so anxious about a conversation with her husband that she passed out on the stairs. At that point, she realized she had a problem.  

Now, Stephanie uses her personal experience to help others achieve their breakthroughs. She firmly believes that breakthroughs are a foundational element in each of our personal growth and that sometimes part of breaking through is breaking down. What she learned was if you're going to have a breakdown, you might as well make it into a breakthrough.

Stephanie has also become a firm believer in the power of journaling. She started by simply pouring her heart out and getting all of her emotions onto the page. She eventually started having ‘ideas’. She could see hope, began setting goals, and began writing about what she wanted in her future, rather than about the pain in her past. She began creating results for herself relatively quickly and rebuilt their business to over six figures in only four months. 

It wasn’t until someone reached out to her asking if they could pick her brain over coffee did she really begin to see her future coming together. It was her dream job, and despite not knowing what she was doing or where it would take her, she was all in. Stephanie truly loves working with clients and cares about the art form of coaching. 

From here, she began to build her business, and began getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Stephanie learned that changing her thoughts and changing her feelings it would change everything. She has built a life they absolutely love, and don’t need a vacation from. 

 Stephanie leaves us with this thought:

“Know that you can have the results. You don't have to follow conventional wisdom necessarily to get the life or the results you want in your business. You can get it the way that you show up best that is possible for you. You can have whatever income level you desire, and have a lifestyle that you personally thoroughly love and value.”

Thank you for joining me again this week beautiful friends! Until next time, keep doing it your way.

Insights:

• “Being an entrepreneur is 80% mindset and if you’re in the right mindset we can be in the right state to get into action and create the results we want.“

• “She firmly believes that breakthroughs are a foundational element in each of our personal growth and that sometimes part of breaking through is breaking down.“

• “If you're going to have a breakdown, you might as well make it into a breakthrough.”

• “Know that you can have the results. You don't have to follow conventional wisdom necessarily to get the life or the results you want in your business. You can get it the way that you show up best that is possible for you. You can have whatever income level you desire, and have a lifestyle that you personally thoroughly love and value.”

How to eliminate overwhelm [VIDEO]

What the grocery store understands about overwhelm

The other day, I got a seed catalog in the mail-I love landscaping and planned on making a cut-flower garden this year. So when my seed catalogs arrived, I was so excited!

But as I quickly flipped past the pages of vegetables, I stopped for a moment on the page with carrots.

HOW ARE THERE SO MANY CARROTS??

I looked at pages on pages of carrots thinking “wow…I mainly look for orange and then choose whole or baby.”

The grocery store is the perfect examply of our mind’s filing system. And the people who develop a store’s offerings and layout learned a long time ago that if they break apart a category into too many sub-categories, customers will get overwhelmed, be unsuccessful in completing their task and have a negative brand experience.

Let’s talk about this a bit more:

What is overwhelm, exactly?

It’s our mind’s way of protecting us when we step outside of our comfort zones. When our unconscious mind observes that we’re doing new things, it may use overwhelm as a trigger to get us safely back into our comfort zone. Even if your comfort zone is self-sabotage or disappointment in yourself. 

Remember, your comfort zone is about what’s familiar to you...not, ironically, what’s comfortable 

The structure of overwhelm

Overwhelm has a structure to it and learning the structure of overwhelm helps us eliminate it. From an NLP perspective, Overwhelm is a result of either chunking down too far into too much detail or chunking up too high into too big of a picture. 

When we chunk up or down too far, we then take the energy we’d apply to a next step and we apply it to either the ENTIRE huge project (chunked up overwhelm) or to every single detail (chunked down overwhelm), making us feel like we need 10 times the energy we have available. 

This creates a sense of emotional overload or...overwhelm and we often end up giving up and shuffling ourselves back to our comfort zones.

How to hack your unconscious filing system to eliminate overwhelm:

So, let’s follow the grocery story idea and use that to help us eliminate overwhelm.

Step 1: identify the structure

Is your overwhelm from thinking too big or too detailed?

step 2: Chunk your thoughts in the opposite direction

If you’re overwhelmed because you’re thinking in too much detail and you need to create a sense of agreement or harmony in your mind, you’ll want to chunk up and you can use the questions: 

Questions to help you chunk UP

• What is this an example of? 

• For what purpose? 

• What is your/my intention…

Questions to help you chunk DOWN

If your overwhelm is due to having TOO big of a picture and you need to create some details or distinctions for your tasks to feel feasible, you can chunk down using these questions:

“What are examples of this…”
“What specifically?”

So, let’s apply this to 2 common instances:

Eliminating To-Do list overwhelm by chunking UP

Much like going to the grocery store to buy carrots and seeing 16 different kinds of carrots, looking at your to-do list and applying your energy to each item on your list creates...OVERWHELM!

So, Don’t look at your to-do list and apply energy to each item, but instead use this question to bring your energy up a level:
“What is this (my to-do list) an example of?”

A to-do list may be an example of: 

• A workday

• Hard work

• Productivity

• Dedication

Or something else in your mind. Pick the category that best describes what a to-do list is an example of for you and apply your energy to THAT. 

Chunk up until you feel the overwhelm is gone.

So, instead of applying all your energy to each item in your to-do list, you can apply it to pursuing your soul’s purpose, then apply it to today’s work, then down to the to-do list items. It should feel more like a trickle down effect instead of a tidal wave. 

Eliminate goal overwhelm by chunking down

Let’s say you have a money goal you’ve set for yourself. If you feel overwhelmed at the entire goal and think “oh my gosh, this is too big-I don’t know how I can do this!” Then eliminating that feeling of overwhelm will actually come from chunking down.

So, if your goal is to make a million dollars in a year, chunking down to bi-annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, or even daily amounts may help you find an amount of money that feels like a goal you can aim for. 

Bonus tip: choose that amount you feel good about-for the sake of illustration, let’s say the monthly breakdown of a million dollar year, which is roughly $84,000. Make the money until you’ve made the full $84k, then challenge yourself to make that amount of money in less time.

Maybe it takes you 6 months to make $84k. Once you’ve established that it takes you 6 months, challenge yourself to do it in 5. Continue collapsing the time until you accomplish your goal of making $84k in one month!

Then…repeat it!

What do you think? Does this help you eliminate overwhelm in your life?

The 2021 Coaching Industry Trend Report

I've always been able to spot patterns in human behavior.
I don't know if it's because I'm a human design reflector or it's something unique to me...but it's something I've always been able to do. Reflectors are a very uncommon personality and we're known for our deep wisdom. One of my superpowers is observing trends and patterns most can't see.

And today, I'm sharing my first ever Coaching Industry Trend Report. After a year of global change, we’re bound to see some changes rippling through our industry-and industry I love and care about. The most successful people are the ones who can modify themselves and adapt to change.

I share these trends with you to empower you to trust yourself, innovate, and experience your own vision board life this year. So if you like to be in the know, here’s what I see coming for 2021 and beyond:

The 2021 coaching industry trend report

Trend 1 | Less proving ourselves & more leading ourselves

Over the past decade, value based marketing strategies have dominated the coaching industry. The idea behind this approach has been this idea that if we give someone a taste of our content, they’ll trust and hire us. This led to people feeling that in order to ask for money, they needed to first prove themselves.

But the reality has always been true that buying decisions aren’t made with logic, they’re made instantaneously and in the intuitive or emotional centers. Buying is emotional and after a year of raw, untended emotions, I think we’re going to see the value and logic based approach ("do these 3 thing to be successful" “the X strategies to grow your list fast,”) and less convincing replaced by a more honest, intuitive, and story-telling marketing approach.

I foresee that the most successful coaches in the coming years will be the ones who are their own success stories. Look for the coach who leads herself and calibrates all her circumstances back to her instead of letting them tell her who she is. She’s strong and unapologetic in her approach. And she leads the way in marketing trends we’ve never seen before-choosing not to prove herself, but rather share herself.

Trend 2 | Less copy/paste business programs

Teaching a skill will always be needed. We always need to learn new things. However, knowledge is not power, it’s only potential power.

Let’s talk about competence

Have you ever found a coach who you feel like coaches in an effortless way? She’s just masterful at facilitating breakthroughs and makes it all look so easy?

That effortless style of coaching is unconscious competence in action. It’s dedication to a skill for so long that you can perform a skill with complete mastery in an unconscious way. It’s almost more of a reaction than a thoughtful set of actions.

My trend prediction

I predict the coaches in the industry who’ve built their business on the foundation of teaching a skill, like list building, or lead generation are going to see a diminishing return over the next year plus as self-trust and compentency takes the industry by storm.

And thank God, honestly. Instead of programs boasting duplicatable marketing that lack genuine soul, the best selling techniques that still feel sleezy, or lead-gen systems that conflict with our values, We'll see a growing trend of coaches showing people how to become an unconscious competent in their skills and learning to trust themselves and their unique perspective.

Coaching people into unconscious competence is masterful work and you'll only see this from highly skilled coaches. They’re the ones you’ll want to be learning from.

Trend 3 | Coaching rates increasing exponentially

The coaches who can teach people how to become an unconscious competent in their unique skill set is one of the worlds most sought after skills by the elite successful people in this world. Why? When you’re an unconscious competent, you’re exhibiting such mastery that you can scale your income without a limit.

These coaches will have the freedom to raise rates in a big way. Their client results speak so loudly that demand will be high for this type of coach, driving rates up exponentially. If you see this kind of coach, act now. Chances are in a year, their rates will be exponentially higher.

Trend 4 | a Growing focus on integrity

Coaching is a famously unregulated field. Anyone can choose to call themselves a coach and charge money to share their wisdom…no matter how qualified they really are. That’s the beauty of this industry, honestly. And it can be one of the biggest pain points of many certified or trained coaches.

We'll see a growing desire for integrity in the coaching industry, which is wonderful. But beware of polarizing or reactionary coaches who like to "rant” about problems in the industry or confuse boundaries with a lack of transparency.

Remember: people who cling to and defend their point of view are likely living in fear. And what they live in is where they lead you.

Instead, look for coaches here who challenge themselves to be their own success story and encourage an atmosphere of personal excellence.

Trend 5 | More transparency and connection based programs

In the past I’ve felt deeply unhappy with my mastermind investments because I didn’t know to look for one important thing. I’d sign up with a person who lacked transparency or fully hid how they were creating the result I desired. I realized I’d signed up to be mentored by a woman who refused to let people in or would project their insecurities onto their clients then gaslight them.

At first, I thought “if that’s who I have to be to have a million dollar coaching business, I won’t do it. But I learned instead how important it is to me to be mentored by someone who gets results I want to get the way I want to get them. Since then, I’ve happily invested to work with women who believe that they get stand in their power, share their honest approach, and have healthy, empowered boundaries. And it’s been life-changing.

While information-focused programs (like the mastermind I joined focused on launching) will still be popular-remember, knowledge is potential power-masterminds are about to explode in a big way as people recognize how much they’ve missed human connection and community.

I believe over the next few years, the highest priced programs will be about connection and transparency instead of information.

How to choose a mastermind:

Masterminds will be dime a dozen. If you're joining a mastermind, I’d recommend that you find a leader who you resonate with-look for a person who’s getting results you’d like to get in a way you’d like to get them.

those I recognized a long time ago that I’m looking for a coach who’s making the income I desire to make with a spacious schedule and an intuitive approach, not rigorous discipline and rigid rules. Once I learned this about myself, all my investments have paid off multiple times over

Trend 6 | mental health and bias trauma de-stigmatized

In 2021 and beyond, we're going to see mental health destigmatized in an even bigger way than ever before. We’ll also see ourselves normalize and welcome the BIPOC community sharing their experiences with racial bias and racial trauma.

We’re already seeing this to a certain extent, but don’t be surprised to hear many coaches begin sharing their mental health journey, including their experiences with depression, anxiety, medication, and more.

Remember-not every happy face is happy. As people share their experiences, learn to embrace their honesty and look up to their resilience more so than admiring their happy smile and pretty life. And let this reassure you that you're not alone in your experience. I also predict that we’ll start seeing a growing trend in tv shows with themes around therapy/therapists and mental health.

Trend 7 | Less burnout and more self-trust

Every business goes through seasons-some are busy and full and others are slower and more introspective. But for over a decade, the industry has been dominated by aggressive white men who preach a gospel of “discipline” in order to ten ex your results. But what they’re really saying is “masculine energy is the only way to be successful.” and “If you’re tired, push through. your effort will pay off.”

I predict that the day will come when powerful, feminine success stories will dominate the horizon. I see a world where women make loads of money leveraging the magnetism that is feminine energy. Where women are considered powerful, not for emulating masculine ways, but instead fully embracing their feminine magic.

And the new gospel will be one of rest. receiving. And reassurance that you can create the life you want the way you want it.

Trend 8 | More representation

I’ve saved the most important “trend” for last. It’s not really a trend, just a necessity. In the coming years, we’re going to see BIPOC people safely step into their divine purpose. Unlike ever before, we’ll see the rise of the wealthy, powerful, feminine black woman and it will become standard…as it should. Coaching will no longer be dominated by aggressive white men. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for this. It’s long overdue. And I’m excited to participate in turning the tide toward equity and representation.
