These words are coming from the me I locked up five years ago.

Derek and I had been in Albania and I wanted to have a baby. It wasn’t happening. Family encouraged us to go home and we did. Like I had a dozen times before I fell into line with old patterns and expectations. I was helping others. I was doing the “behind the scenes” work to make everyone else’s businesses and lives better.

It was incredibly draining and I knew I had to take responsibility for it.

One day I woke up to the truth that I could do something to make my own dream come true. I wanted to become a mother and so I asked in meditation what to do. The answer sounded bizarre and I listened. I began seeking out where I could teach Yoga and mediation. To my surprise, I was met with resistance. In the end I decided to remodel a small place in town and turn it into my own Yoga Studio. I continued to ask for help. Some helped, some wanted nothing to do with it. What I didn’t quite realize at the time was not everyone is going to celebrate you finding your soul’s work because it may not benefit them.

I ended up opening the studio and I got pregnant three months later.

I have always looked back at that time with mixed emotions because on the one hand I made my dream of motherhood come true and on the other hand I remember those who didn’t support me. Fast forward to now. On a recent day trip with Derek and the boys I heard Nina say it was time to act on the idea of Silent Retreats. I sat down and wrote the best sales page I ever have. The whole thing flowed. I was given the locations and details and team to make it happen. Last night in mediation I asked how to best promote them. I heard to write about it in little bits. There’s so much to tell in how the idea came and what I know it will do for the women who join me. I felt peace and got up to leave the room when I heard…

The closest you’ve been to doing your soul’s work was five years ago in that yoga studio.

I think I gasped out loud. It stopped me in my tracks and I felt my heart unlock. You see when I went to that yoga studio I followed my guidance. I listened to dolphin music, I mediated, I wrote, I taught yoga. I was in pure bliss AND I had convinced myself that was only for me. After I went live yesterday to talk about the Silent Retreats I felt like I was back in that space.

I cannot tell you how honored I feel to create the space for women to meet themselves.

I never did anything more than that in my studio. I set the stage and all my students had to do was show up. I have laid out every detail of the silent retreats. I have heart and soul weaved into every detail and now I’m asking for the right women to show up.

I can feel my work has shifted.

For those of you who have worked with me or been in my group I’m probably more spiritual than you would expect a business consultant to be. And it’s only going to continue in that direction. I’m less focused on teaching women the exact steps to creating a life and business that feels like heaven on earth and I am more focused on creating experiences where women can trust what is revealed as they connect to themselves and find their true center.
