YOU HAVE TO LET PEOPLE BE.

Everyone has to be ready and willing to make adjustments and changes in their own lives, when and if they are ready and willing to take that journey. This has been a hard lesson for me to learn, because I see so much potential in many people that I just wish for them to see it for themselves. I wish for them to be all of who they are, to let it all out, because I know and trust that if and when they do, it can and will change so much for them. When someone asks me something or shares their ideas, their dreams, their desires with me, I can so easily go off on a tangent of all they could do. My mind races with ideas...my speech get's quicker, my energy rises, because I get so excited for them and what's possible for them. But I know in my heart it's not my job. I can give idea after idea, til the cow comes come, but unless they are ready & willing... it means nothing. And so I'm learning to zip it...it's hard sometimes...but I'm trying, oh I'm trying. And I also know, coming up with all the ideas for them, doesn't teach them much at all. There is something magic that happens when they learn to find the ideas and ways that work for them, for what's inside of them is for them and the way they work best...my ways are great for my way of being and doing. I've learnt and felt the changes in myself in so many ways, that I know in my heart that it can be done, that it's possible, that more is available. I decided to take that path, and I know there is so much more available for myself that even I'm not actioning...ha we're all the same, but I'm always working on it, bit by bit, somethings I race through a switch, other things are taking their sorry ass time to make the switch damn it. So I know, there are times when I must step back and let it be the same for everyone...in their time. No one can do the work for another...no one...no matter how hard we try to help, it's up to each individual. This goes the same for our children. Allowing them to figure things out for themselves. Allowing them to sit with themselves, to process, to express, to exercise their creative juices. Just the other day, my son came to me saying he was feeling something inside and he didn't understand why (he's one expressive being - I love it). So I told him to sit with it for a little while and see what comes to him as to why he may be feeling this way. Sure enough, after some time he came to the reason as to why he was feeling as he was. How I support him (and all my kids) best is by being there to listen when he needs that listening ear, giving him the space & time to figure things out for himself, trusting in him that he has the ability to do so too. There are times I find this so hard as a parent, sometimes I just want them to listen and do as I say, to fix it all for them...haha mama knows best...but I also know in my heart, that doesn't work most times. They must be free to experience their own lessons so they can learn. I love working with women who are ready, who are willing, who know in their hearts there's so much more for them. Who wish to express themselves in ways they always dream of. Who wish to put in the work of letting go of what's not for them and create space for what is. Who even on the days of wanting to give up, they find it in them to keep going. Who know there is this life in front of them that they want to live out in the best way they possibly can. Who wish to find their voice and speak to what they wish to speak up to. Who have this deep KNOWING there is all these things inside of them that they want to unlock. It's not about doing what everyone else is doing...it's about creating your own little map of all the things that is you, that works for you. Stepping outside of what you see in the world and going in to see what's happening in your inner world that feeds you. P.S....I have space for additional clients who are wanting to work 1 on 1 with me to support them moving forward in my RISE UP mentoring program. This is for the woman who is ready to set solid boundaries. This is for the woman who is ready to start using her voice. This is for the woman who is no longer available for what has been and is ready for what will be. This is for the woman who is done with feeling depleted, held back, overwhelmed and ready to unsubscribe from whats no longer working for her. This is for the woman who is ready to express herself in ways that are right for her. Message me if you'd like to know more.
