There is always a path to your Future Self. Sometimes we’re not ready. So we stop doing the work. We stop being honest with ourselves. We force. We hide. We keep from getting the help we need.
Once you’ve opened the portal to your Future Self that denial to become her causes upheaval and it’s not fun. It can also feel like that upheaval takes us further from our Future Self.
And the one thing I know for sure is that there is always a path to your Future Self. When you don’t take the first one she set out for you, you might have to travel through the dark and lonely woods, but on the other side will be a new path.
There isn’t only one path to your Future Self. And she will always lay a new path for you when you’re ready.
While in moments Kate denied her Future Self by not stepping into her, her Future Self always had her back.
When Kate didn’t step through one door, her Future Self would show her another option.
In Kate’s case it was a job that supported her while she transitioned more into her Future Self.
Listen to this interview to hear how things started opening up for Kate when she returned to her connection with her Future Self through scripting.

In general, I have always been the most committed person to growing and creating that I have known. I would meet friends and other entrepreneur’s and I would get excited because I was like “We can do this together,” and then they wouldn’t want to go as fast as I did or they’d get bogged down by their stories.
Very often I found myself alone on my journey.
That was one of the things Kate was most afraid of last year. So, she did what humans often do, and pushed against it. She tried to hold on really tight. She tried to control it so that all her people would grow with her.
The problem was, they weren’t ready.
It happens. And I believe it’s a good thing. It’s a good thing for us to learn that we can grow on our own. We can let go of what was and open to creating something better.
I get it, when there’s something good you don’t want to let it go and it can be hard to imagine there is something better. I’ve been there.
What I learned is that when I let go of needing someone to come with me, I could create faster and then magically someone would show up at the same level I was. I learned that I could always create exactly what I needed if I was willing to let go instead of hold on.
So can you. And if you want a really big life, this is a skill you want to have.

At the time of this interview, things were good for Kate. She had brought in $918 dollars in the previous few days, bringing her total to $148,747.02. Prior to that Kate’s business had stalled. She has been trying to stuff down her Future Self. Putting her in a closet and telling her to be quiet. The problem is you can’t do that once you’ve started the journey to becoming your Future Self.
Last April, Kate stepped into her Future Self big time when she participated in the Future Self event at the Paradise Valley Castle. She left there more of her Future Self, yet she was still trying to be her current self.
When she left the Paradise Valley Castle, she forgot her jean jacket. It’s the jean jacket she wore in her $10K photo shoot. It used to be her favorite. When she didn’t have it, she had to get a new one, one that was more her Future Self. And she wore the new one, a lot.
Whenever she put on that jacket it activated her Future Self feelings; confident, sexy and classy. She was constantly activating her Future Self, so you can see why stuffing her wasn’t working out too well.
When you don’t open the space and step into your Future Self, she’ll do things to help you move the process along. Often those things are painful. It’s painful to push against and yet it often happens in the process of fully developing into your Future Self. It’s what Kate experienced for several months until it came to a head.
For Kate that was realizing she had to let some things go, rather than hold on.

The clouds started to lift as soon as she gave notice at the wellness center where she worked. Of course they did because letting go of her office at the wellness center is a huge part of stepping into her Future Self. Her Future Self coaches from her computer, in the middle of an adventure, not an office.
Listen to hear the details of this moment in Kate’s journey.
Resistance is a part of the process.
Here is the Google definition: the refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument.
In growth, resistance naturally happens when who you are bumps up against who you are becoming.
It happens because while you want everything your Future Self has, you are also scared of what that means she does not have.
Because you don’t get to know every detail or what is going to change and evolve as you become your Future Self.
Often, this causes resistance. Which can be a refusal to comply with things your Future Self does. Or strong actions of holding on to the things you are most afraid to lose.
A refusal is resistance. And it can look like:
These are all things that Kate did.
Maybe you recognize that you have done these things in the past as well.
It’s okay. It’s helpful to recognize it so you have a better awareness if it happens again.

If you’ve listened to the podcast, you’ve heard of my friend Elle Russ. She’s an amazing author, speaker and host of the Primal Blueprint show. In the Paleo world she is a very big deal.
She’s been on stage at events like Paleo FX and my client Kate was a huge fan girl of her’s. (She’s still a fan, and now they are friends who laugh about randomly showing up in my pool)
I knew Kate was a fan and I could have introduced Kate to Elle and maybe gotten her an interview on Primal Blueprint.
And I didn’t. Because it didn’t feel inspired.
I knew Kate was growing into her Future Self who is of course friends with Elle.
Because of that I choose to allow it to happen naturally.
So often people want to be connected to this person or that person, or get someone specific on their podcast and they think that is going to help them (that wasn’t what Kate thought) but it’s who YOU are that matters.
You can meet someone before you’ve grown into your Future Self and the relationship goes nowhere because it’s all about who you are, not who they are or how they can help you. Or have someone on your podcast that is big but their presence doesn’t skyrocket your success. It’s your energy and who you are being that makes that happen.
When you have become the person, whatever it is will happen.

That is what happened for Kate recently.
Her and her significant other have looked on and off for a new house for a few years and when they would find something they liked, it would be gone by the time they found it. Not this time! Through a series of inspired events, they found the perfect house and are moving in shortly. Everything about the process has been easy.
Why has it been so easy? Because Kate is being more of her Future Self everyday. When you step into your Future Self the other stuff, like the house that has features of your Future Life, has to show up. It’s the way it works. And that is exactly what happened for Kate.

There are lots of ways to influence change and growth in yourself.
A big way that doesn’t often get taught and gets overlooked a lot is other people’s stories.
What I mean by other people’s stories is hearing about positive changes in someone else’s life.
Story changes our brain without you really knowing and without any of the fear responses that your brain can sometimes come up with when you try to change.
It’s likely because stories are the way our ancestors passed down lessons to the next generation.
You’re able to make connections and open up to new possibilities in a different way when you are hearing about someone else doing it.
It’s why I use stories to support my clients' growth.
It’s also why I started interviewing my clients and sharing their stories with you.
Hearing someone else’s story about creating a better life helps you to naturally and easily start writing that story for yourself.
Today’s coaching is to listen to this interview with Kate. Listen to her talk about how she’s catching more stories in her life and upleveling.
That’s it. Just listen. Allow your brain to do the rest of the work.

The answer is not usually.
When I talk about getting in touch with your Future Self and letting her lead you to the Future Life you’ve been dreaming of, many people think that means she’s going to lead you straight from point A, now to point B, the life you want to manifest.
It doesn’t work that way and here’s why…
Your Future Self leads you to the opportunities for all these things AND gives you the most Future Life experiences she can along the way.
Have you ever had an opportunity in your life show up and it felt a lot like your Future Self, but when you started analyzing it seemed like it might be taking away from your Future Self?
If you have you definitely want to listen to this interview with Vicki.
Vicki Pace is originally from upstate NY as well as NYC and now lives in sunny Denver, CO! She is a full time prospering actor in the local and professional theaters of Colorado. She also loves directing and coaching kids in theater!

Manifesting money is the start of changing your money story. We live in a focus driven Universe which means you get more of what you focus on.
Focus on more money, you’ll attract more money.
But what is happening when it feels like that more money is slipping through your fingers?
Your money story.
In general, most people manifest money quicker than they change their money story.
Why? Because as soon as you shift your focus toward money, it starts showing up.
However, the story that you’ve been living for years, doesn’t just disappear.
And if your money story was Survival, this is especially true.
Because people with the money story Survival tend to “hot potato” money.
That’s the phrase I use when you get rid of money as fast as it comes in.
Until you start living a story other than survival, you have to do that.
Because it’s what keeps your story true.
It’s not that people with the money story survival want to do that, it’s simply that their brain feels safe that way because that is the way it’s been living.
Facts are one thing that changes your money story.

If you’re reading this at some point, you’ve had a list of the things you want in your life. It might be more money, more freedom, a new car or a new house or a whole list of other things.
You likely found your way to my world because you wanted help getting what you want.
But do you always get to choose what you get?
My answer is, no. When you start working with your Future Self, sometimes you get what you need, which can often be the opposite of what you want.
For example, Vicki really wanted a part in the show we talk about during this interview.
She did not get that part and what her Future Self gave her instead was the opportunity to BECOME more of her Future Self so that she can attract more parts in the future.
This happened by not getting a main part, which gave Vicki the opportunity to sit and watch most of the show. By doing this she has become a better actor, director and teacher.
At first, she did not see the opportunity. It didn’t feel good not to get the part she wanted and we worked through that.
We also did a story upgrade and then Vicki could open up to seeing the opportunity to become that she was being given by her Future Self.
Listen to this interview to hear about the shift in story and perspective that has ultimately made Vicki more of her Future Self.
