Courage vs. Fear

Can I let you in on a little secret?

 Fear is a part of EVERYONE'S life. I don't care who you are, everyone has fears of some sort and fear will always be a part of life.   The problem with fear is that most people let it immobilize them and hold them hostage from reaching their dreams.

We all have a comfort zone. That place that we tell ourselves feels safe but is it really?  As you look at the chart below and see the emotions in the yellow circle that are created when someone is living inside their  comfort zone are those emotions really comforting?

 I ask you to get deeply honest with yourself and acknowledge which of those things are you currently experiencing? Are you living paycheck to paycheck? Settling for less than you are really worth? Worrying all the time about, "What if?" Feeling stuck, but also afraid of moving forward? Honestly, are any of those feelings truly comfortable?

Recently, I was at a Global Wealth Conference. Amy Walker, an amazing entrepreneur and business mentor, helped me to realize that being in my comfort zone produces just as much fear as getting out of it does. The only difference is that staying in my comfort zone just creates more of the same results that I am currently getting. By choosing to step into and through the fear that takes me outside my comfort zone will create the opportunity for growth, to experience new possibilities, and the ability to experience more of the feelings that you see outside of the yellow circle that represents your comfort zone. Which results would you rather experience?

Ambrose Redmoon said that, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than the fear." If your child was in danger would you sit and focus on all the things that could happen to you if rescued your child or would you focus on getting your child safe? I realize that is a "DUH!" question. Of course, you would focus on taking the action necessary to get your child to a safe place. Your adrenaline might be so high that you wouldn't even take the time to consider all the things that could go wrong.

However, take a minute and think about a fear you currently have about something you want to do or be. When making a decision it is wise to weigh out the pro's and cons but are you spending more time focusing on the "what if's" rather then the benefits if it was successful?

Another thing Amy taught me is that sometimes you have to be willing to be terrible at something before you get good at it. If you think of a baby learning to walk, in the beginning they are really terrible walkers. But because they keep trying eventually they get good at it. Letting the fear of looking stupid, or failing stops many from doing something they might actually, over time, be really good at and get a lot of satisfaction from doing it.

As I said earlier, everyone has fears. Those who succeed in reaching their dreams spend their time focusing on what they want, where they are going and finding the solutions to get there. When a fear comes up instead of allowing themselves to focus on all the "what if's" that would keep them from moving forward they are more focused on the results if the outcome were positive not the outcome if they fail.

What you focus on becomes bigger! So why not spend time thinking about creating bigger positive results in your life instead of creating bigger and bigger fears?!

If you find that fear is continually keeping you from really creating the life that you want to live it may be time to get to the root of the false beliefs that are creating those fears by having a Transformational Energy Session.

If you have had energy work before it may be time for an "energy tune-up." and you can use the same link to book your 90 minute energy session. 

Are You Giving Your Agency Away?

Along with self-worth, personal power is the epicenter of important character traits to possess. Someone who is constantly giving his or her power away really doesn't have agency.  The "who" or the "what" they are giving their agency to has all the power.

The most common "what," a person will give their power away to is negative self-talk. The minute you believe what that big bully in your mind is telling you your power is taken over with feelings of doubt, fear, and low-self worth.  It is impossible to grow, move forward and work towards manifesting your potential with those emotions controlling your thoughts.

Negative self talk usually accompanies negative feelings towards yourself or others. This takes away your power to unconditionally love yourself and others. Love is the greatest power on earth so giving your power to any emotions that don’t create love will take away your agency to feel happy and peaceful. I know this may sound a little too "Pollyanna" but when you realize that hanging onto a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the person you have the grudge against to get sick, you will realize you are only hurting yourself. It's perfectly OK to be angry, resentful, hateful, or whatever the emotion is. Feel it, process through it, but hanging onto it for a long period of time only destroys your health and mental well being.

An obvious "what" that people give their power away to are addictions. They come in many forms that people are not always aware of such as being addicted to how many likes you get on a Facebook post to feel loved and valued or to emotions like anger, hate, overwhelm, and fear. Sugar is also a highly addictive substance that few can live without and is a huge trigger for depression and anxiety.  It doesn't matter if someone is addicted to drugs, alcohol, porn, electronics, food, sex etc. they all take away the ability to feel the spirit, love yourself, and have healthy relationships.

The last "what" I'm going to touch on are those that are constantly giving their power away to fear. Fear is Satan's greatest tool because it will stop your progression in its tracks. Fear makes you feel powerless, hopeless, and even helpless. It is one of the biggest agency thief's because it holds you hostage to whatever you are afraid of with unending, limiting, false beliefs as well as debilitating anxiety.

Then there are all the "who's" that people give their power away to. Again there are the obvious ones, those that give their power away in controlling or abusive relationships. But the less obvious ones are people pleasers that are constantly giving away their power because they fear if they don't please that person they won't be liked, and/or loved. Or the approval seeker that does whatever it takes to gain another’s approval.

You also give your power away when you allow others to make you feel less than, stupid, embarrassed, ugly, fat, poor, etc. No one can hurt your feelings or make you feel anything without your permission. You are the one that is choosing to be over-sensitive, and own the negative label or feedback. Most of the time when someone is mean or rude to you it is really a mirror of how they feel about themselves and really has nothing to do with you. When you choose to take it on its like taking their dirty laundry and choosing to wear it.

People also give their power away to an illness. They talk about the illness like a possession such as my depression, or my cancer. This takes away all hope of healing from it or at the very least controlling it. You notice no one ever says, "My flu." The flu is something most people heal from. But when people talk about cancer, an illness that isn't always healed they say, "my cancer." or if they are experiencing depression they will say, "my depression."  Instead of claiming an illness or disease as yours use the words, "The (illness) that I am currently experiencing." That gives your body permission to accept that it is something that is affecting your life in the present, but can be controlled or cured and may not affect your life in the future. Even if a disease is terminal it certainly doesn't define you as a person.

One of the greatest examples of someone who owned their power is Jesus Christ.  Through his meek and humble way he was true to himself and God. He lived with faith and trust in God and His divine plan. He was meek and humble even when the Sadducees and Pharisees confronted him and his character was being insulted. He did not shrink, and wasn't intimidated. He knew who he was what his mission was here on this earth and he didn't allow doubt or fear to get in his way.  He wasn't afraid to proclaim his truth nor was he afraid if others didn't like what he had to say. He lived authentically, passionately, confidently, faithfully, and lovingly. He was spiritually centered which made him strong in faith, steadfast through trials, and immovable in living true to his mission.

Being Christ-like is our ultimate goal, but most likely a goal that we will not master in this life. However, by taking an honest look at the emotions, addictions, or people that you are giving your power away to is the first step to reclaiming your agency in that area of your life.

If you would like assistance in finding the emotions, addictions, or people you are giving your power away to energy work is a way to speed up the discovery process. Your energy knows what is creating any disfunction in your life. I have the gift of getting to the answers as well as giving you to the tools to change it.

A New Perspective On Weaknesses!

If there was one thing that I could just wave a magic wand and shift for my clients it would be to get them to put away the beat-up stick. Beating yourself up for your mistakes, shortcomings, and forgetfulness does NOTHING except lower your vibration which disconnects you from God, yourself, and the spirit, creating anger, sadness, guilt, shame and self-loathing. Not a recipe for healthy personal growth!

But since I don't have a magic wand the next best thing that I can do is to share with you a different, healthy way to look at your weaknesses. What if you looked at your weaknesses as an opportunity to learn powerful, universal truths, to grow in wisdom and knowledge, to develop emotional muscles of determination, perseverance, and Christ-like love? Gifts that will allow you to build a solid foundation of trust in yourself and God, which will result in confidence and self-worth. A gift everyone desires, but can only be created from the inside out. A gift where the receiver can only be the giver.  


First off, lets define what a weakness is. A weakness is a habit, a character flaw, or lack of wisdom that creates a result in your life that isn't what you really want. Weaknesses come from three sources. They are either a pattern handed down from previous generations, a false belief (which can be a generational), or just plain lack of experience or knowledge. For instance one of my biggest weaknesses that I have worked to overcome is being a control freak. This is something that is generational within my family especially on my dads side. I wanted everything to be my way, and on my time frame. My false belief was that if everyone would just do what I said, when I said, and how I said that life would work and we all would be happy and successful. Well the reality is my desire for control just created anger, resentment and feelings of low-self worth within my children, husband, and myself. Creating the result that we all felt like failures, and no one was happy. 

So what are the gifts in all of that pain and agony you might wonder?  About 10 years ago my husband and I attended a training where it was brought to my attention that this was the main reason why my life and especially my relationships were in shambles.  Which created the first gift I received-- humility, which is the ability to be teachable. I was in enough pain that I was willing to get down on my knees and ask God to help me learn how to overcome this weakness.  This opened me up to attract the the perfect experiences, the perfect people, and the perfect books and articles to help me learn new, healthier ways of thinking and feeling about things.  

The second gift is I'm learning to let go of what I can't change, turning it over to God and trusting that it will all work out in divine order. I also am learning to not let the results of the things that I can't change or that are out of my control, especially with my children, affect my self-worth. Basing my worth and value on the performance of myself or others is where pride resides, and creates emotional chaos! Only having worth when things go well and having no worth when they don't!

The third gift I'm learning is how to be more unconditionally loving. If my worth isn't based on anything outside myself and is grounded on the solid foundation that God loves me NO MATTER WHAT then it is much easier to love myself dispite my faults and shortcomings. It also allows me to have patience and compassion towards myself while I learn new things and work on refining the areas where I fall short due to, character flaws, bad habits, or lack of knowledge. 

The last and best gift of all is that this experience has created the empathy that allows my coaching clients a safe space to be human and vulnerable so that they can clear out their generational patterns and false beliefs making it easier to work on and overcome their weaknesses. I have also learned many tools that I can pass onto my coaching clients so that their journey gain more happiness and fulfillment in their life can happen in months and not years. 

The biggest lesson I have learned is that as I am willing to be humble and ask God how to turn a weakness into a strength, and be patient and compassionate towards myself,  I receive the opportunity to learn and grow, and be fulfilled in the journey. Creating a place to be happy today, as a work in progress, not when I'm perfect!

I no longer am depressed, feel worthless, overwhelmed and unhappy.
