Homeward: The Sovereign Business Podcast

Happy New Year, friends!! May it be filled with hope, joy, intention, abundance and massive alignment.

Through the sifting and shifting that has occurred in my world over the past 365 days, I've had the pleasure of finding myself drawn closer and closer to my own soul's purpose. It has been a joy watching my life and business transform before my eyes.

In this first episode of 2018, I invite you to roll your sleeves up to dig in and unearth your own calling.

Inside each and every one of us is a truth that was designed and assigned for us alone. It is our job to learn to hear the call and answer it, and today I want to help you figure out how.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to shift from strategic planning to living in daily alignment

• How to know when it's time to ask for help

• How to align your career with your calling and to notice the whispers nudging you on

• About the soul shifting passage I read that helped me understand why I am exactly where I need to be

SOUL SHIFTING QUOTES:

• "The work that we've been called to is the work that aligned with our souls."

• "When I left my corporate career I wasn't running away from anything;I was moving towards my truth."

• "Each and every one of us has incredible gifts that are locked inside of us that need to be shared."

• "We get so far ahead of ourselves that we forget to be where we are."

• "This is your divine journey that you have been lead on. Believe it and you will see it."

• "The only way that we can discover what we are being carried towards, is through creating enough space in our lives to listen."

When I think about welcoming in a New Year, it makes me all kinds of giddy. I am especially excited for the "8" because it represents infinity, harmony and balancing the material and unnatural world. This is, basically, code for spirituality taking center stage in the more conscious realm of our lives.

2018 is a year for awakening and greater enlightenment, as well as, abundance and expansion when coming from a place of balance. For me, 2017 was about laying the groundwork, testing new waters-so to speak. It was all about growth and getting on the track of my personal spiritual journey.

SOME OF THE HUGE MILESTONES AND CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THE SUCCESS OF 2017 WERE:

• New and deepened relationships with dear friends and soul brothers and sisters.

• A deeper connection to my own soul purpose paired with the language to support that connection.

• A greater impact and ability to serve others.

• Consciously cutting cords and clearing blocks that kept me small and scared of my own potential.

• Greater clarity and connection in my marriage. More time together to work through the bumps and get clear on our collective and individual dreams and needs.

• A more present relationship with our daughter.

• Improved relationships and connections with my beloved parents and family.

• Growth in our teams...network marketing and in the coaching business.

• Tripled our annual income

• Gave over $10,000 to charity.

• Was selected as one of the Top 20 Young Professionals on the Seacoast here in New Hampshire.

• Sold out Soul Fueled Summit - first one!

• Grew the podcast to 50k downloads per month.

• Had my first six-figure launch and $80K month.

Traveled and trained with top industry pros. - Brendon Burchard - Lewis Howes - Mel Robbins - Grant Cardone - Bedros Keulian

• Transitioned from a solely 1:1 coaching model to group coaching and very limited 1:1 coaching offerings.

• Launched + hosted MM retreat and am now accepting applications for our Feb. 2018 retreat!

THE MOST EXCITING PART OF 2018 FOR ME IS THAT IT FEELS LIKE A SPRINGBOARD INTO A WHOLE NEW REALM OF OPPORTUNITY.

2017 was solid and 2018 now gets to be an amplification of what we did and learned there. My word for 2017 was Trust. And trust I did, leaned in to discomfort and relaxed my grip. 2018 is all about EMBODIMENT and RADIATING all that I've learned and what I feel deep down inside. I feel ready to lean in to my own Divine Feminine wisdom and sensibility.

2018 feels like Trust 2.0:

• Honoring my body and her needs.

• Trusting myself as a parent, wife and businesswoman.

• Letting intuition and information lead.

• Welcoming in more play, creativity, allowing others to help hold structure in place so I can be at my best.

• Remembering the #1 reason I launched this business...

TO BE MORE PRESENT FOR MY LIFE AND THE PEOPLE IN IT.

What's your word for 2018? What are some of your favorite rituals?

This week I was inspired by one very simple thought.

I was taking a break from the madness that can sometimes be the reality entrepreneurship and spent a few moments looking at my life. I saw the home and the spaciousness I have created in my world, the beautiful family I get to do each day with, the incredible friendships and students I get to connect with each day and the thriving business I have given life to… and as I looked, I had this epic realization...

No part of this has been a solo endeavor.

Nope. In order to craft this epic life I am leading over here, I needed my sisters, my husband, my daughter, my family, my mentors and you.)

Each and every one of my listeners, clients and students has helped me to rise up and keep marching onwards to meet the life that has always been waiting for me. You help me remember to remember WHY I do this sacred work in the world and you push me to keep growing even on the days I feel tired and start questioning myself.

Today, I want to dig in deep and discuss what I believe it TRULY means to say, "it takes a village." And I invite you to spend a few minutes with me.ake off your "solopreneur" hat, or uncross your "I've got this" arms and hear me out as to why I believe we are stronger together than we could ever be apart.

You might be able to do it all on your own, sister, but at the end of this Focus Friday I will have one question left to ask you: do you really want to?

In today's episode, I offer you a sneak peek at the blueprint I used to triple my income over the past 12 months and level up in a massive way. And, *bonus*... not only do I invite you to dream bigger...today, but I am going to show you how.

2017 was the year of expansion...and it was my most prosperous year to date. Not just in the realm of finances; but also in terms of the abundance that I welcomed into my life through relationships, experiences and personal growth.

I want to be clear, though, none of this happened on a whim. The expansiveness of this year was a deliberate choice I committed myself to making on a daily basis. It was a choice to upgrade my mindset and consciously participate in my life on a level that the former version of me didn't even know was possible.

It hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows, but I can tell you it has been completely worth it and will continue to be as I've made a pact with myself to be here for all of the peaks and valleys ahead. And guess what, my dear sweet friend?

You get to make this same pact.

Let's not wait another moment, game changers and light seekers.

Let's make 2018, your most epic year yet. Your future self is ready and waiting!

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to upgrade your main operating system: your mindset

• How to identify what is keeping you from reaching your fullest potential

• Why our money blocks are holding us back

• Why the world needs YOU to level up and dream bigger

SOUL SHIFTING QUOTES:

"What you have achieved in 2017 is a result of the mindset that you've had."

"I am now a person that is willing to bet on herself...all of the time."

"The greatest investment you could possibly make on this planet is in you. Your potential is exponential."

"I want to help you create a life and a business that changes the world, and most especially, it changes your own."

"It is exponential the impact we can make on the lives of others."

It's that time of the year again. You know, the time of the year when you have a to-do list that somehow only seems to keep getting longer: The magical and, often, overwhelming holiday season. You have gifts to buy, cards to send, newsletters to write, parties to attend content to create, launches to plan and a million other things to get done…I feel like crawling back into bed just thinking about it all.

And if you're anything like me, sisters, this tends to send us into overwhelm city.

Suddenly, you are looking for the panic button and are so consumed with everything that needs to get done in the future, that you just ignore and fall out of alignment with what's best for you and your life right in this very moment.

We forget the stuff that works because we're so busy getting to work.

This Focus Friday is all about helping you find ways to break that pattern of overwhelm and step back into the flow of your beautiful and purpose-driven life.

I invite you to slowly back away from the panic button. Put Ben and Jerry back in the freezer and take 15 minutes to gift yourself a way out of the chaos that is overwhelm. I promise you, friends, we can mindfully and consciously create spaciousness for all of our important work, without sacrificing our peace of mind in the process.

This episode is all about how.

Ben and I sat down today to catch you up on all the momentous movement that has occurred in our lives since we retired him from the police force and brought him home to the Team 5 months ago.

Life is all about evolution, and ours is no exception. We get into some real talk about what we've been up to, how our roles are changing and our hopes for our family in the coming months and years, as we become more and more attuned to how we feel most deeply called to show up in our world.

Plus, Ben also talks about his newest entrepreneurial venture and we get to answer some hard hitting questions from our listeners!

We are excited to share this one with you, friends…There is nothing quite like doing your life's work with the one you choose to do life with.

What do CrossFit and my business have in common? In both of them, I have to show up, do the work, meet them where I am at, and not worry about what the girl next to me is doing.

So often in our lives, we allow our fear of needing to do something perfectly, stop us from doing it at all. But we do ourselves a huge disservice when we do this, and in this Focus Friday, I am explaining to you exactly what that disservice is.

This episode is all about learning to step forward, however unprepared we may feel, towards our greatest visions and dreams. It is about doing it imperfectly instead of never doing it at all.

Not sure how to do that? Have a listen friends, I've got all the experience on this one, and now I'm sharing it with you.

Bottomline: Progress often does not equal pretty.

Friends and fellow mamapreneurs, if you've ever wanted to see a living and breathing example of stunning dignity and grace in the most difficult of circumstances, you've found it in today's guest.

Heather Crabtree is a mama, a wife, a friend, a daughter, and yes- a rockstar entrepreneur. But 8 months ago she found out the devastating news that her 9 year old daughter had Stage 4 cancer, and ever since that moment, she has been on a journey to remain grateful, hopeful, and immensely clear about what it is that matters most of all in her life.

(Hint: It isn't the 6 figure months and a growing business.)

Her message isn't just for people in time of crisis, though, it is for YOU and me, sisters, right in this very moment. It is a call and an invitation to get really clear and intentional with how you spend your precious time, and the things and people that you give your energy to.

It's not every day we get to see such courage and an example of grace-filled dignity, and I am beyond honored to share this beautiful conversation with you.

Sit down in your favorite space, grab some tissues + tea, get comfy and open your hearts for this one. Today, my sweet friend Heather is going to remind us about what really matters.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

• Why it's okay to change your mind and change your course

• How to know if you're making decisions in your life in business based off of fear

• Why it's important to put family first

• How to move through the fear about "what's next" when it comes to our families and children

• How we can be of greater service to families who have sick children

IN THIS EPISODE I ASK:

• What are some of the challenges and greatest takeaways you've learned in the process of the evolution of your career?

• What was the moment that made you finally understand that you have to do what's right for you?

• What are the top 2-3 lessons that you've learned by going through this experience with your family?

• What do you want people to know about families that are going through this, and how can we be of greater service?

• What is the greatest lesson that your little girl has taught you?

SOUL SHIFTING QUOTES:

"I don't need to prove myself to anyone. I'm here, and my family comes first."

"With any big tragic thing that happens, you go through these stages. So this past year has been about recognizing those and just really digging into what matters."

"We make these moments count, because we don't know what's next."

"I don't have a problem with money. What I have a problem with is thinking that that's what's going to bring you happiness."

"Your business should fit into your life, and we try so hard as entrepreneurs to fit our life into our business."

"I think the more you can share and open up, the more that you inspire people and allow them to feel like they're not alone. "

"Every moment counts. Give the most you can to the people that you love."
