Not be missed take-ways:
1. We’re all given a blueprint designed by our families/ancestors that we live with and carry with us and it’s hard to let go of old patterns and to de-program the old blueprint.
2. Follow your intuition, your inner knowing as to what is right for you.
3. When you have a relationship with a process it’s hard to let go of that which is familiar. There’s comfort in the discomfort.
4. You can’t have one foot in the old and one in the new. Lean in to the new.
5. Be a bigger, badder, bolder, better you.
6. We can write/rewrite the script of the lives and cast the people we want to have a part in our lives.
7. When you want to know the truth, look at your life. It’s a reflection of what you believe.
8. Don’t play small.
9. Do what you love. Do what moves you, do what excites you. Even when you can’t figure out how, just take one step toward it. How means Help’s On the Way. When you do that one step, magically help is on the way.
And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…
I challenge you to choose one area in your life where you feel you’re playing small, and take one step at a time to feeling more authentically you. And if not sure what I mean by playing small, email me, or DM me!
Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!
