Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) Dec/Jan 2018 Aspire Mag Full Issue: Taking Time fo | Page 48

We need to rediscover the love that we are; the light that we are, and embrace the truth that we are. What I’ve discovered is that every single one of us is on a unique and personal journey through this life. Because we all carry a specific vision, mission, talent, and varying life experiences, life leads us each down different paths as we all seek the way to come home to ourselves. Although there are different paths, I started seeing the same sequencing of patterns over and over again in my own life, and in the life of the women I serve as a coach, mentor or teacher. After over 20 years in the personal development world, researching, studying and going to the seminars, and reading all the “right” books, I discovered one very important thing that didn’t come out of any of it. Here’s what I learned: “It’s not about developing into a better version of myself.” The personal development path had me on a hamster wheel for many years trying to improve myself. The reason it didn’t work for me is because it’s based on the foundation of self-rejection. As I’m “working” on myself – I’m also locking into the belief that something IS wrong with me. I’ve discoverd that the real journey home is quite different. It’s not about becoming 48 this perfect person—it’s about unveiling the perfection who we truly are and unravelling all the lies that we have believed ourselves to be. We need to rediscover the love that we are; the light that we are, and embrace the truth that we are. Once I discovered this for myself, I started supporting women in discovering it for themselves and having been doing so for the last 5 years. We have been finding that truth in their careers, in the businesses they want to create, and in the families that they want to have better relationships with. Mainly, I’ve supported courageous and conscious women in the relationship with themselves because everything is truly born from that place. A.R.I.S.E. is a body of work that I’ve created to support this journey back to the love that we are. I now teach this powerful process to women in an intimate 7-day Sacred Soul Retreat, and a powerful 1-year program. Allow me to walk you through the A.R.I.S.E. transformational 5-step process. AWAKENING We have all experienced an awakening. Sometimes they are mind-blowing experiences and sometimes they are just a sweet small whisper of understanding from our intuition that completely changes how we look at something. Whether big or small, I’ve seen that life is constantly waking us up. But waking us up to what became my next question. www.AspireMAG.net | December 2017 / January 2018
