Activating Magic

Do you need a degree to do your sacred work in the world?

Societal standards and the rules we all learn to play by often require permission to do whatever work we do, such as degrees, credentials, licenses, etc. As a chemical engineer, I know this reality firsthand and was a part of the conversation for a long time.

But then my magic came online, and the standards and rules no longer matched what was coming through me. So what do you do?

While I have many degrees and certifications, I started to get the nudge that I wanted to get physical in my work.

I remember my experience on an international retreat when something started to happen with my hands. Instinctually, I started researching and figuring out what to do when a clear message came through. "You already know what to do; you came in with it.". If you know me, you know I believe in past lives, past soul's journeys, and the idea that you come into your physical being with wisdom and knowing. You just know things. However, it's one thing to believe in your innate wisdom and another to trust it fully.

What would it be like to trust that you know that you know that you know?

While it is certainly valid to want external validation or permission to do your work, can you own the wisdom and knowing you came in with?

Our Certified Sourced Leaders Program is designed to give you permission and space to use the wisdom and knowing you came in with in partnership with the framework we teach to learn to deliver transformation to your clients confidently in a group setting.

Using my Recognition Magic, I have recently seen a trend in the transformation space. How we talk about intuition is how we used to talk about money—specifically, the money objection conversation.

In the past, I needed support and coaching around money. I used to have a faulty set of beliefs surrounding the limits of what is possible, my own value, what I should spend money on, and what I shouldn't.

SOMEONE TOOK A STAND FOR ME when I was considering a coaching program. What I mean by that is she lovingly and clearly suggested that while I could build my business on my own, I would likely have to do it again. From there, I could discern what was true for me and make a decision. Spoiler alert - I joined the program.

At Sourced, we support and train our clients with tools and frameworks to feel comfortable talking about money, especially money objections, not from a place of convincing or making a sale but for taking a stand for what is possible.

We also teach our clients to trust their inner knowing when making decisions and choosing their paths. It used to be the money portion of the conversation when clients started to feel the discomfort of what was possible that compelled them to hit the breaks, but today, it's not money - it's intuition.

The conversation stopper has become "my intuition said no" or "my guides said no." What went from a SOUL YES one day to a solid NO after some meditation or sleeping on it is our new money objection conversation.

What do you do? How do you overcome the objection of intuition?

This question has been at the top of my mind, and I am developing a teaching on this. In the meantime, I treat it the same way I would if I were having a money objection conversation.

Here is what I do.

First, I check in. I remind them this is what you said you wanted. Is that still true? Are these the outcomes you still desire? Will this program help you get there?

Next, I dive in and get curious about how they know they know their intuition clearly. I ask them to tell me about how their inner knowing works. How do they know that your guides said no? I ask them to tell me how their intuition speaks to them and to describe that experience.

Sometimes, in this situation, we need to figure out what part of this is guidance and what is fear. When making a big decision, your ego can get so loud that you interpret it as guidance.

As the guide, your job is to ask these questions and be unattached to the outcome. You are not trying to get them to say yes, but help them understand how their guidance works. Help them get curious about whether this is guidance or fear.

At Sourced, we teach our clients the Anatomy of a Transformation, a framework proven to bring deep, energetic shifts. One of the most important phases is receiving a truth that we haven't been able to see before. (If you aren't familiar with the Anatomy of a Transformation, find the link below to another video that goes more in depth).

Let me let you in on a little secret - It is common that when we see that unseen truth, it might be a "bad news insight" meaning it may not feel so great - even shameful. Who wants to accept that energetically, we are a match for the results we have been getting?

What if instead of feeling shame when approaching the space of the shadow, or the hidden truth that was just revealed, we come at it with compassion and levity? What if we remind ourselves that we are all humans humaning?

I am reminded of how my small t truth of "I need to be smart to get love" manifested in my need to be the smartest in the room. When I was able to name it I remember feeling and thinking, that person is annoying, I don't love that I am that person. But then I could work with it, shift it, and ultimately rose in a new energy with a different set of results.

Since then, I have had other truths realized, and I approach them with compassion and levity. Oh, look at Darla! Over there Darla - ing and I hold it tenderly. Now I can work with it.

What if you were able to masterfully approach the shadow, or the hidden truth, with compassion and levity with yourself and with your clients? How would that impact your work in the world?

This is how we work with our clients here at Sourced. If you want to learn more or experience it first-hand, book a session with one of our Sourced Coaches certified in our signature framework, the Anatomy of a Transformation. You can do that here!

The Anatomy of a Transformation, a Tool for Inner Peace

Recently, I attended my own retreat (one where I was the client), and in one of the exercises, one of the prompts was, "Who or what is the enemy of your brand?" As I reflected, one I wrote down stood out to me - the patriarchy.

More specifically, the masculine structure of our medical institutions, along with the historical propaganda against women healers that resulted in us doubting ourselves and losing the trust we had in our magic or inner knowing.

At Sourced, we work to restore the world to a place where we all honor our magic. We support transformational leaders and coaches to trust, see, and honor what is true for them delivered through Source. What if we all lived this way? What of the patriarchy then?

Sometime after that, I went to go see the Barbie movie, and the energy pattern of patriarchy was one of the major themes but backwards. What's interesting is that in the film, Ken, using his recognition magic, picks up on the patriarchal energy of the real world and it resonates with him very strongly and he decides to bring it back to Barbieland.

I find it humorous the different ways the world talks about and interprets then same energetic patterns and themes world wide. What if "fight the patriarchy" weren't a thing? What if the world worked simply by each of us honoring and listening to our magic?

Are you an energy-first company?

In this week's episode of Shift the Field TV, I delve into what it means to be an energy-first company like Sourced. Through my years of experience, I have learned that as a coach, when bringing on a new client, the first matter that needs to be assessed and addressed is their energy.

How are they BEING energetically? And how might your energy conflict with what you want to create? Does it align with their business goals? Once their energy is aligned, we can co-create a strategy, offerings, and marketing of their services. However, if that energy-first stage is skipped, it can be to your detriment and the detriment of your future clients.

I have encountered clients who successfully brought in new clients but skipped that energy-first step and would inevitably run into problems. They would be stressed with a heavy weight on their shoulders because they weren't sure they could be effective.

The reason is that their client's goals are inaccessible because their energy is mismatched for the strategy. They will return to you with feedback such as "I'm doing everything you told me to, and nothing is working."

For example, I had a marketing client with a "done for you" company, meaning she was hired to do the social media - go! But the energy wasn't aligned. Having a social media presence is hard when you are avoiding being visible. The energy must be addressed first! Then, you can tackle strategy.

Here are my questions: As a transformational service provider, are you first talking about your client's energy? Do you own and overtly use your magic? And finally, are you charging for it?

At Sourced, we teach service-based entrepreneurs and leaders to own their magic, hone their magic, and design their businesses in a way that optimizes their magic and, in turn, lightens their workload.

Have you ever outstructured your magic? I believe in transforming out loud, so during this Transformational Storytime, I want to share a deep insight I gained from my recent event, Shift the Field Live. I had a strange experience during this virtual retreat regarding timing that revealed a truth that had been hidden from my view.

I have hosted over 100 retreats as a coach, and when you host one virtually, it can feel like a different animal. I had these rules in my head about timing for this event that I don't necessarily have when it's held in person. There were wires crossed among my team that put the timing off by about 12 minutes. It was something tiny but brought a funky energy that I didn't like. Through my training, experience, and practice, I also knew that there was more to it and that something was being revealed.

While some rules and structures are great, they can also stifle your magic. That's what happened to me. I learned enough to know that when life comes at you, it serves as your life coach.

I have spent the last few months on a project creating systems around timing and events. While reflecting on Shift the Field and the timing experience, I realized I haven't been enjoying the process, and it has made me feel boxed in. Somewhere along the way, I got the idea that I had to have more structure to uplevel my business.

What I didn't do was stop to tune into my soul and ask Source what my next right steps were. I outstructured my magic. It made me see that I was also outstucturing my magic in other places in my business leadership. So my question to you is - do you ever try to get the structure so right and perfect based on what THEY say should be done such that it shuts down your magic?

Transformational storytelling is critical when marketing your business if you are a coach, consultant, creative, healer, or entrepreneur. In our line of work, it is sometimes challenging to explain what we do. That is why it is so important to be able to tell a story that demonstrates the transformation you are offering.

When working with clients to develop their stories, I use the Anatomy of a Transformation as a framework that shows a definitive shift of field and creates a space for clients to see themselves in the story and imagine their potential transformation.

I go through the three stages of the Anatomy of a Transformation: Commitment, the Sourced Experience (Release, Receive, Rise), and Integration and how to apply your personal transformation story using this framework to demonstrate what is possible.

🎬 The Anatomy of a Transformation, a Tool for Inner Peace

Believe yourself, receive from Source. What do I mean by that? This is one of our favorite mantras here at Sourced, and it means the more you trust how your inner knowing works (God, the universe, whatever you believe), the more information, guidance, and support you will have the capacity to receive. Don't forget! Source has your back!

Source is here to support you in moving toward your greatest expression and soul alignment on this planet. But sometimes, we forget and shut down our divine guidance. The main culprit for this - self-criticism. It's the thought that I must be crazy to know that, think that, want that, and the scariest of them all - what if I'm wrong?

This is something that we learn when we are young, and we all have different versions of it. We learn to censor ourselves and self-criticize. I do my work teaching other transformational leaders to deliver transformation with confidence, and many of them have reached high levels of expanding their coaching businesses and scaling their services. The most common roadblock I see when they reach a plateau is self-criticism. What if it is wrong to go that way?

I share a time in my childhood when I first thought, "Oh, sh*#. What if I am wrong?" That thought ran most of my life. I also share a time mentor telling me later in life, "You'll never be right, Darla, until you let yourself be wrong."

Since then, through much education and healing, I trust in Source and believe that I do know that, I do think that, and I want that, etc. While I do place great value on validation from peers, mentors, and others, at the end of the day, when I believe myself and my inner knowing, Source offers more.

In this week's Shift the Field TV podcast, I take you back to early in my business when I had a mindset shift around my revenue and expenses that was a game changer.

I was still determining exactly what I was doing as an entrepreneur and was drawn to the first transformational coaching program I would enroll myself in.

I learned how to have a sales call, enroll people in my program, and, most importantly, I realized that there was so much I still didn't know and so much hidden from my view about how I was showing up in my business. So I enrolled in another one and another one.

What I learned was that there was no program out there that was going to "fix me," and there was no one program that would be "the answer". Instead, I shifted my thinking to - "what would it be like if I was the type of person who was always investing in myself and my growth?"

At that point, a switch inside me flipped, and I started to include a line item in my budget to invest in myself. When I did that, everything changed. When I added that line item, my revenue went up and stayed.

Ask yourself - what do I desire to invest in? Build that into your money goals.
