It’s been 9 years of effort….
I recently had a friend reflect how well it seems that I’m doing this year, in life & business.
It’s true - I literally feel the best ever. More certain, more grounded, so much more capacity to hold space at my events and for my client’s full spectrum of emotions.
What few people realize, especially since I’ve lived in so many places in the past 6 years, is that it’s taken 9 years of effort, 9 years of not giving up, and 9 years wanting to quit on and off [and sometimes actually micro-quitting].
My Austin connections have only seen me for 2.5 years, but transitioning to wellness has been unfolding since 2016. Back then I had NO idea how I could exit my corporate career. I was in the office every weekend in 2015,16 and 17. When I moved to New York my first office was in the Empire State Building and I would go in every single weekend to study for my Health Coach training, at least for a little bit, look out the window of the 34th floor and daydream of what life ideally should look like for me.
Somewhere along the way of the past 2.5 years I loosened my grip. The hermetic principle of Know Thyself took over. I’m a life path 1, a Projector, and double Pisces, etc etc. All these things are just a combination that points me to my personal north star: I have to make my life up the way I want it to be and I have to be in charge. Once I surrendered to this knowing, everything got easier.
The challenges day to day are still hard, but it’s so much easier to say to myself that I’ll keep going no matter what because it’s who I am and breathwork, teaching and having my own business is what I’m here to do.
Don’t call it “grinding” or “hustling” - that’s honestly never helpful. Just keep working away, slowly but surely, and at a certain point, the clarity and the ease does arrive, even in spite of difficulty.
