My takeaways from our conversation:

• Many of us coaches start in fitness; we know we want to help people so it’s a logical starting point.
• Us big-hearted givers have to be wary of our desire to help & fix. It often comes from a good place… but it is also often rooted in ego & shadow (and is therefore more for us than the other person.)
  • Your trauma, your shadow, & your gift are often intertwined.
  • Take a moment to ask why you’re actually desiring to help/fix. Are you allowing them space to learn & grow?
• Intuition speaks to you through your body. You will know something is right when you get a “full body yes” (while the mind often follows by racing!) The body understands what you’re capable of - your mind is set on keeping you safe.
  • “My mind tends to want to try to talk me out of the things that I'm an intuitive yes to because oftentimes it’s going to be a challenge.”
  • “Your spirit guides are future versions of yourself that are guiding you.”
• Struggling with self-trust is caused by a disconnect from your physical body and therefore your intuition.
• Many of us carry some level of trauma/misaligned experience with religion. Healing this can be deeply meaningful. If the word God is triggering for you, it is possible to shift that relationship by redefining what that word means for you.
• Knowing & expressing our authentic selves is what it means to be human.
