As I healed my co-dependency it became easier and easier to accept what seemed like“ rejection” and helped me stand more fully in my power.
That negative mindset kept me making safe choices like getting married instead of starting a career in my early 20’ s. I was so fearful that I didn’ t have what it takes to make it in the world as a single, independent woman. What I’ ve learned is that the Divine is relentless when you are meant for bigger things in life, because over the next 25 years, I kept calling in situations and relationships that would force me to step through my fears and into my entrepreneurial shoes.
Can you can notice a little of your own story in my story? Perhaps you’ ve dreamed of starting a heart-centered business and allowed fear to stop you. I get it, trust me, but what I know for sure is the following- when you step into your personal fires instead of running from them, you become a courageous, badass of a woman. A QUEEN ready to take her place on her throne. My throne made of pure gold and is jewel encrusted just in case you were wondering …
After working with hundreds of women over the last 5 years on mindset and business creation + building, I know that most women run from their fears instead of walking towards them. I did too for most of my life. I believed that if I didn’ t look at what scared me, or stop talking to the person who was upsetting me, I would avoid conflict and be safe.
Not the case.
My biggest fears showed up over and over again in a different scenario or in a different human being until I faced them. Starting my online business was a huge trigger for me. Being visible, vulnerable and authentic – letting strangers see my personal pain and underbelly was NOT something I had a comfort level around. However, those qualities are necessary for building a heartcentered coaching business, so I had two choices; ditch my business or step into my fear.
I chose to step into my fear and still do to this day.
There’ s a saying that I heard from my mentors during trainings over and over; new level- new devil, and that has been my experience. Every time I moved my business forward a new fear dragon came swooping in to scare the crap out of me. I remember my very first unsubscribe from my email list … I cried on and off the entire day – no joke. I felt like I had gotten fired. The first 100 unsubscribes from my email list made me cry too, just not all day. Then one day I finally decided to examine why I felt so bad when an unsubscribe came in and noticed that I had a strong need to be liked and approved of. It was at that point that I started my journey to heal my codependency. As I healed my co-dependency it became easier and easier to accept what seemed like“ rejection” and helped me stand more fully in my power.
BUSINESS, SUCCESS & MINDSET
