I think most people assume I’ve always been expressive, spontaneous and free… not AT ALL! If you zoom back to my childhood years, I felt awkward and shy. At birthday parties when we were supposed to dance, I had no idea what to do. Wasn’t someone going to tell me how? I simply did - and even said - what I was told.
I feel that I’m still shedding the world & society's expectations and learning to listen to the true desires rooted in me, and only me.
I’m still teaching myself that the world is a playground of endless possibility.
But, still - nowadays, oh my, do I play.
Did you know that the no. 1 regret of the dying is “I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”?
It’s from a book written by Australian palliative caregiver Bronnie Ware
I find that so deeply sad.
And yet, I know how hard it is to actually drown out the outer noise, listen in and actually F’ing TRUST ourselves.
CELEBRATE ourselves
Set boundaries free from guilt
Make decisions free from doubt
Express ourselves free from shame
Even as I post this, my inner critic says
“People will think you’re bragging when you show your Oxford graduation photo”
“Who are you to write stuff designed to help people shine? You’re being ridiculous”
But these kinds of things can no longer hold me back from expressing myself in the ways I want.
The business of BEING who we truly are and EXPRESSING it to the world is not a one and done thing.
It’s not, go to a one-day course and shift it and you’re good to go.
It’s a practice.
It’s reminding yourself every day who the F you are.
It’s connecting to your truest, deepest inner voices and kindling their flames
It’s holding and nurturing the scared parts of you as you step boldly into the arena and claim your best life.
Holy hot heck I’m revving myself up writing about this.
I really do think that our one biggest task in this world is to find out who we really are.
Find out the way that we, uniquely, want to shine in this world and then go ahead and freakin’ SHINE our brightest!
My 16-week Amplify program will teach you beautiful tools related to your VOICE and your CREATIVITY.
These tools are special because they involve simultaneously sensing IN and expressing OUT.
Having a strong connection to both makes you feel expressive, wild and free.
Throughout 16 weeks I’ll teach you my entire body of tools and practices and support you in picking from that what is right for YOU. �We’ll play and laugh, write songs & poem, you’ll find out things about your voice that will blow your mind! 🤯
And, you’ll gain a deep connection to yourself and your self-expression that lets you:
🥰 Feel FREE and NATURAL in your self-expression
💫 Own the ways that you shine in the world
🙋🏽 Speak up and advocate for yourself and your needs when something doesn’t feel right
😌 Feel a grounded sense of calm confidence that lets you trust your voice and your decisions
Ready to go? Comment “Amplify” and I’ll send you a DM to start a conversation about whether this is a good fit for you.
I’ll never pressure anyone to join and in fact, on the contrary- I’m looking for people who can show me they’re fired, inspired and READY to go on this journey with me and the group.
