Soar with Erica Transformational Life Coach

17/04/2023

Hello Peeps 👋

You may or may not have noticed that I have been pretty absent from posting lately...

My path came to a folk in the road where I needed to decide which way to go, to develop/grow personally & professionally and to support my family in many ways (but especially in helping to finance our new endeavor/project 😅).

I am proud to finally share with you my exciting news - which was the path that I was called to journey down ...

I have accepted the position of Centre Director at a large ECE centre in West Auckland, where I have been tasked with Managing, Mentoring and Coaching the team of approx 30 - and today was my first day 😁...🥱😴

Wish me luck!

How is your Inner Child affected by:
- Stress
- Being caged by others expectations
- Being vulnerable
- The overwhelm
- The negative self talk/the put downs
- Pushing yourself to the limits
???
.. and how does your Inner Child cope with these things?

Don't forget your inner child has been with you throughout your life and may not have recovered from past (childhood) hurt or trauma.

Did you know there are ways you can support, nurture and give unconditional love to your Inner Child, so you can heal, grow and feel whole again?
💚

This is something I touch on with some of my coaching clients!

IDENTITY...
Has your identity been swashed by others?

Expressing yourself is part of identity building and this can also effect how you see yourself and your self worth.

You know the feeling when you feel most like yourself in a certain dress, or hairstyle etc. Expressing yourself can be empowering if it comes from your soul vs. from a place of trying to fit in.

Allowing your soul freedom to express itself through your outward appearance is liberating and grows your confidence and self worth. Whereas dressing a certain way to impress others or try to fit in comes from a place of lack and low self esteem/worth.

I have always felt like myself with pink/peach hair (and even used to dye it red - which was a bit dark for me), not to stand out or fit in, but just to be myself. Though, over years I had to wash away some past muck (of societies rigid expectations), to feel like me again.

I remember at high school dying my hair pink one time and getting taken aside by my homeroom teacher who had been told by the higher ups in the office, that I needed to go home and dye my hair back to a normal colour - blonde or brown. I felt like I had been slapped in the face! and was flabbergasted.

I mean, I wasn't trying to go against the grain and definitely hadn't thought there would be any consequences when I dyed it pink. I was just being myself. But to then be told, don't be yourself, you have to fit in with the norm - I felt like a sheep in a heard.

HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT WAY OR HAD YOUR IDENTITY SWASHED BY OTHERS?

What is something that is apart of your true identity, and is always present when you are your happiest?

Colour has always been a part of my identity and my life.

From psychedelic pants to pink hair, to the colourful wall behind me in my lives videos, that I painted years ago.

My soul feels joyful when there is colour in my life.

But, I am curious to know if this steams from my childhood, where I played for hours and hours in the beautiful colourful flower-beds my dad had planted. Or whether it was already apart of DNA or my souls identity.

I know one thing. It definitely became more apparent as a young teenager (tween), I guess those are the years when we start to find ourselves (away from our mothers/fathers) and move into being more aware of ourselves in the bigger context.

Art was also an influence into expressing my colourful side.

What is Holding You Back from Showing Your True Self?

If you're full of 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘵, 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘮, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, you're going to find it darn hard to show up as your true self and be the shining light for others!

Maybe, now is exactly the right time for you to look at yourself in the mirror and say "I am enough!"

Make a stand against your fundamental darkness - your inner doubts and negative self talk and decide to start showing up as the 'real you'... Trust me, it is all worth it!

*You don't have to go it alone! I am here to hold your hand along the rocky path, if you need me to, dear Soul!
..Touch out or book some session with me, to discover your true self and really conquer this fundamental darkness that has been holding you hostage. https://www.soarwitherica.com/booknow

*My 8 week transformational program is starting in February, so definitely let me know if you are at all interested (no strings attached) so I can get the information out to you ;-)

We all have likes and dis-likes, this is part of who we are and our unique story. However, upon reflection you may notice that some of these preferences were created by past experiences or views/beliefs we have taken on from others.

Over the last few days, me and my daughter were listening to 'Sweater Weather' by The Neighbourhood a lot on our beach road trip and these lyrics "I hate the beach, but I stand in California with my toes in the sand" reminded me of a session I had with one of my clients.

For me I absolutely love the beach, and I have always had positive experiences at the beach since I was a baby - apart from the one time that I nearly drown at Muriwai when I was about 4-6 years old.

But one of my clients says she hates the beach, and when we dived a bit deeper we found that there were some experiences in her childhood that formed this dis-like. Without going into too much detail, some of the things that popped up were:

- The view her Mother put on her that the beach was a dirty place (I guess, sand does stick to you 😜), and this included her mothers dis-taste for sand in the car.

- She also remembered getting really badly sunburnt when she was holidaying at the beach with her grandparents when she was a young child.

There were a couple more things that came up in the session around the views she had taken on from her mother (not only to do with the beach).

But in reality, we are all so very different and we do not have to like everything!

It is completely normal to have likes and dis-likes, though I believe they should be Ours - not taken on from others, such as our husband or parents etc. Especially when you like or dis-like something just to please others or save face... You are not being true to yourself when you do this!

*** So I was wondering, who here 'likes' or 'dis-likes' the beach? PLEASE COMMENT ***

"WHO AM I?"

This is one of those heavy questions that plagues most of us, at some point in our lives...

For me it has came up several times, years apart - though the most recent and potent experience of "Who am I?" was when I was around 35.

Have you ever experienced this too?

- Do you even know who you are anymore?
- Do you even recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror.
- Looking at yourself and asking your heart, is this the real me?... then not feeling content/happy with the answer it gives you.

*I will be touching on this in my 8-week transformational program (starting Feb) and it is also a big part of my Identity Shifting workshop (date TBC)... Let me know via DM or email, if you are interested to find out more about either of these 😊

Mindset is a key factor in transforming yourself and your life!

I didn't touch on it much in my latest Brainz Magazine article about 'happiness... it's your choice', but in actual fact, mindset is one of the key ingredients for happiness.

… and it is such a big part of the transformation process, that I have made it the 1st module in my up-coming 8 week program 'Transform Your YOUniverse' that starts in February 2023 - on zoom. Where I discuss: mastering your mind, limiting beliefs and perspectives (in the first module).

I plan to share the rundown of my 8 week program with you soon... but in the meantime, if you want to register your interest (no strings attached), touch base by emailing me at erica@thesoaringeaglestribe.com or DM me on Facebook/Instagram.

“A gentle reminder about why you are utterly exhausted…

No one I know began this year on a full tank. Given the vicious onslaught of the previous two years (let’s just call it what it was) most of us dragged ourselves across the finish line of 2021… frazzled, spent, running on aged adrenaline fumes…

We crawled into 2022 still carrying shock, trauma, grief, heaviness, disbelief… The memories of a surreal existence…

And then it began… The fastest hurricane year we could ever have imagined. Whether we have consciously processed it or not, this has been a year of more pressure, more stress, and a race to “catch up” in all departments… Every. Single. One. Work, school, sports, relationships, life…

Though not intentionally aware, perhaps hopeful that the busier we are, the more readily we will forget… the more easily we will undo the emotional tangle… the more permanently we will wipe away the scarring wounds…

We can’t.

And attempts to re-create some semblance of “normal” on steroids while disregarding that for almost two years our sympathetic nervous systems were on full alert, has left our collective mental health in tatters. Our children and teens are not exempt. The natural byproduct of fighting a hurricane is complete and utter exhaustion…

So before you begin questioning the absolutely depleted and wrung-dry state you are in- Pause. Breathe. Remind yourself of who you are and what you have endured. And then remind yourself of what you have overcome.

Despite it all, you’re still going. (Even on the days you stumble and find yourself face down in a pile of dirt).

Understanding brings compassion…

Most of the world’s citizens are in need of a little extra TLC at the moment. Most are donning invisible “Handle with care” posters around their necks and “Fragile” tattoos on their bodies…

Instead of racing to the finish line of this year, tread gently. Go slowly.

Amidst the chaos, find small pockets of silence. Find compassion. Allow the healing. And most of all… Be kind. There’s no human being on earth who couldn’t use just a little bit more of the healing salve of kindness. "

Namaste 🙏

Even though we are no longer in lock down, many people are still struggling to re-gain a sense of normalcy.

Burnout and Fatigue are common this time of the year, as bosses load on the pressure to get work finished before the holidays. Add to the mix, the underlying stress from the pandemic and you have a cauldron bubbling over.

Some of my clients are still suffering with on going health issues (physical & mental) due to the effects of the prolonged lock downs, catching Covid, and/or side effects from the jab. 😩

I had suffered burnout, fatigue and ongoing health issues for a few years prior to the pandemic, and in 2019 had pneumonia 4 times. Which resulted in me leaving my job as a lighting designer in August 2019.

So by the time the s**t hit the fan early in 2020, I was actually quite prepared mentally, financially and spiritually. Though, I was still working a lot on my physical health, as I knew that my internal system (especially my lungs) would not fair well if I caught Covid.

Plus my Nutritionists also worked out I had Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, which causes flare ups/inflammation in many parts of my body: hives, asthma attacks, joint aches/pain, horrible body aches, migraines, fatigue, brain fog, and gallbladder attacks, to name a few.

My DNA test also confirmed I was predisposed to Inflammation, Meaning Covid would have caused even more havoc, if I didn't keep things such as my histamine levels under control.

Luckily for me, by the time I did catch it, my health was so much better thanks to my amazing Homeopath/Doctor, Nutritionist, and Naturopath!🙏

Amy Cuddy has created this fantastic 2 page visual on Pandemic Flux Syndrome... If you are suffering with this, you are not alone! I have also attached her interview on the subject.

If you are feeling stressed, burnt-out or struggling with any of the symptoms (on this visual), then it is even more important for you to follow the tips in my 'Finding Peace Amongst the Chaos' Guide to regain your health and well being! https://offers.thesoaringeaglestribe.com/pdf-guide
