In this episode we deep dive, from the very beginning.  This is part 2 to Creating Success Your Way - No shame or guilt needed. 

My mentor Morgana McCabe Allan and I share with you three realizations that can help you open yourself to healing, shed the shame and guilt and step fully into a new reality in business and life. 

In this episode we share some of the parts of ourselves that we have healed. I  share with you  the "incredible shrinking girl" and the "queen" part of me and Morgana shares the part of her that continued to attract toxic relationships (in all forms) until she created a different relationship with this part of herself. 

As an LGBTQ+ entrepreneur there have been so many times in my business and life that I have struggled. I thought that I needed another experts strategy, funnel, social media templates and even their "program" to finally create success in my business. 

Funny enough I didn't need any of that and you probably don't either. The ONLY thing I needed to do was to show up in my business as 100% myself and be who I was compelled to be from the inside out. 

I just want to assure you that this was not an overnight process. I wasn't a  💥 and I woke up and everything started clicking. It was a process. Small steps, small belief shifting and BIG love for myself that has brought the most success in my business emotionally and financially. 

For the first time in my business I feel totally aligned:
🦄I don't worry about "what" I am posting, I just post whatever I feel I want to post. 
❤️ I share my work from my heart and forget about the "sales". I don't worry about where the next client is going to come from. Because they just come. 
🏳️‍🌈 I show up as myself fully. Releasing the cultural constructs, shame and guilt because they were never mine in the first place. 
AND
🙌 I wake up everyday knowing exactly what I am doing, creating my own reality and helping others do the same. Feeling free, at ease and just freaking remarkable. Side note: this peace and joy has also helped me shed over 27 lbs. 

Morgana and I have made it our mission to help entrepreneurs and individuals to feel fully aligned in business and life to create success on their terms and in the ways that fit them the best. 

If you have found yourself struggling. We would love to help. Feel free to reach out to either of us.

Get your seatbelts on friends. You will hear things I have only ever told my wife!  I also shed a couple of tears. My mentor Morgana McCabe Allan and I speak our truth and empower you to experience your own radical visibility.

How we interact through our self-expression and receiving plays a huge role in our ability as entrepreneurs to make the impact we are wanting to make. I knew that my work was meaningful and yielded great results for the people that I worked with, I just needed to find out how to get it "out there" in a way that felt true for me. I spent so long trying to fit myself into the box of so many "gurus" or "experts" only to walk away feeling in such conflict. 

In this episode we explore and identify:
❓The reasons so many people and entrepreneurs feeling like there is something wrong with them. 
❓Why measuring our self worth and value by our accomplishments or how hard/far we have come is not healthy.
❓The role Courage plays in you being the person you have wanted to be without guilt, shame or embarrassment. 

So many times we are told "if you just change your mindset" it will be better. I am here to tell you it is deeper than the mind. It is emotional. It is a body, heart and soul level. This is why most solutions in business and life only last for a minute and then you feel like you're right back where you started. 

I wonder how many of you have beat yourself up mentally comparing yourself to someone else who appears to be successful or you walk around with continuous low/high level anxiety (worry, fear, feelings of not enough) hoping that no one finds out the "truth" about how you really feel or deal with on a daily basis.

One woman said to me, "I used to be able to put on the mask and now I can't even do that anymore, I don't know what is wrong with me".  My heart went out to her. Nothing was wrong with her and yet our society and culture teaches us on the daily that there is something wrong with us if we can't "handle it" or don't ______________.  You can fill in the blank. 

Or maybe you are an entrepreneur like me wondering why you weren't as successful as other online businesses that you see. Notice I said, I was not as successful. I remember thinking, "Why can't I reach more people, what am I missing, what am I not doing, I guess I need to do what they are doing". All the while the inside of me was clinching because the way others did things did not match up with how I wanted to be in my business. Yet I persevered until I felt like my soul was shriveling up and dying because that is not how I wanted to "be" in the world. 

I can tell you right now that the answer was not outside of myself (in the form of a strategy, funnel, or course), but inside of myself. I needed to deep dive even further.  I needed to let go of all of the things I had been taught were "right" for me and truly connect with how I wanted to be and interact in the world and do that without fear, shame

If you have found yourself feeling like you are always trying to prove something, over explaining or justifying yourself,  to yourself or others then this episode of Road to Radical Visibility is for you. 

In this episode I share with why you feel like you  constantly have to be proving, over explaining or justifying what you want, who you want to be and how you want to live. 

Hint: It's not your fault and taking more responsibility for other people feeling and thoughts is not the answer. 

I share  my experiences of trying to prove my value and worthiness to only end up feeling less valuable and less worthy.  I would hear the same words on repeat in my head. Do more, push through, make _______ happy, you're responsible, and the list goes on. 

I wonder what you were taught to say to yourself?

It's time to stop the proving, over-explaining and justifying and experience more freedom, ease and confidence in showing up exactly the way you want. Get ready to say bye bye to worry, anxiety, and the feeling of always have to do more, be more. 

In this episode I give you three things that you can do today to create a feeling of safety in just being 100% you, 100% of the time. 

If you know of someone that struggles with this share this episode with them. (links are below).

Your value and meaning in your life is not determined by the things you do, the money you make, what others think of you or by the things others have taught you to think about yourself.  Full stop.

The value and meaning you feel in your life is created by your ability to create and return back to YOUR wholeness. To honor your truest way of being without shame, fear, doubt, guilt. 

In this episode Rachel is sharing three ways that you can begin to return to your own wholeness and allow yourself to feel value and meaning in every part of your life and business. 

I was meeting with a client recently and she said this. 

*"Rachel, I feel like the barrier that is holding me back from being fully
myself and feeling good about my life and happy about my life. And like I can be myself. Is that I feel fundamentally flawed. She went on to say, I cannot recognize that I have much meaning or value. That I mean something to people beyond the superficial things that I do for them."*

If you've ever felt this way, or if you've been longing or saying to
yourself, hey, listen, part of me is missing, and I want to find that part of me, then this episode of The Road to Radical Visibility is for you.

If you have felt like you are caught up in a cycle of just doing and wonder what or whose life you are living anyway. Where did my meaning, joy, confidence or value go? Then this episode is for you. 

We have been taught and even trained to believe that what we do and accomplish in this world makes us worthy of __________ (you can fill in the blank). 

Throughout my whole life I tried to live up to the expectations of others. To do the thing, be the way that I was told was right, appropriate, better, more "lady like". This started the cycle of me cutting off, shoving down and attempting to eliminate parts of me that were "less valuable" to our society and the systems that exist within it. 

I looked outside of myself for answers. Another course, strategy, funnel, business group or product could not do the healing. To heal I needed to deep dive into my own self and return back to wholeness. 

That way of being where the inside was my strongest compass. Where I could be myself and know exactly what was right for me at any given moment and time. The feeling of safety I had always wanted. 

If that type safety is what you are looking for reach out to me. There is no need to continue to live a life that is less fulfilling than you want it to be.

It was such a privilege to speak at the MLK Day  event this year here in my home town Redding, California. 

Every presenter and contribution was tied into the theme of:

It starts with me, shifting priorities to create the beloved community.

The beautiful community that gathered was a testament to the continued inspiration that Martin Luther King Jr. still gives today in the fight for racial justice and equality for all. 

He was a true leader and his legacy continues to empower connection with heart and soul. 

His words were spoke for every nationality, to feel no segregation. 

Just as it started with him it starts with you and me.

You want to show up as your truest self, to speak your truth in any given situation but something always stops you. 

How many times have you felt or even feel today that the another person has the power? (and maybe they never even asked for it). Maybe your boss, your peers, your friends, your family, your community, the cultural "norms" you were taught were good/appropriate/right.

Have you found yourself waiting for the "perfect timing" or the "perfect situation" before you spoke your truth?

Fear has you discombobulated and believing that it is not safe for you to be your truest self. And, that in order to feel safe in being yourself you need an external factor (person, place or situation) to make you feel safe to finally be yourself. It's almost like you are looking for permission from others/situations instead of claiming your power to be you. 

You may be giving your power away and not even realizing it. 

It's not about waiting for someone or something to allow/give permission/make you feel like you can be your real self. It is about learning how to trust yourself to invite them in. 

Invite them in to see you the real you.  This take courage that is developed in the deeper work. 

In this episode I share with you the inspiration I got from Queer Eye Season 6. Ep. 2 and how it relates to you becoming radically visible in every part of your life. 

I also share the three shifts that I made that helped me begin to reclaim my power and gave me the ability to be myself 100% of the time without shame, fear or apology. 

Let me know what you think of this episode and watch the noted episode of Queer Eye. You'll love it.

"I want to find the parts of me I used to love, again. But I don't know how, I'm just so used to remembering, hearing and reliving the "bad" stuff. "

I know what this feels like. 

As a member of the LGBTQ+, neurodiverse and female entrepreneur community I know how hard it is to live a life that is built on the realities that  were told were yours but weren't.  I lived my life for so many years like they were, and I suffered because of it. Just like you are now.  

My heart kept shrinking, my self esteem was at the bottom of a pit and I never felt good enough. The happiness was buried and the most beautiful parts of me were lost under the burden and trauma of cultural and religious constructs. Finding my NorthStar was the way out. 

I did as much self-growth as I could on my own until I found the right mentor. The mentor that had already done their own deep work and had already found their NorthStar and were actually living their TRUE reality, the one they wanted! I have done the same and it's your turn now. 

Are you ready?

If you said "Hell Yes", it's time to divorce the "bad stuff" and find your NorthStar.

It's time to create a new relationship with or discover the parts of you, you love. 

As a therapist for the last 18 years I have heard the "bad stuff" and there is a place for therapy AND there is also a time when a different approach is needed. Finding your NorthStar is that different approach. 

It's not where you travel down memory lane and remember all the traumatized parts of yourself you know the "bad stuff" and re-traumatize your mind and body. 

It's a process where you we take practical steps to explore, discover and create your reality, not the reality that you've been given by your parents, society, culture or religion is your reality. There will be some emotions, but i got you. I'll be there. 

In this video I am giving you three easy ways to start creating a different reality and find your NorthStar today. 

Here is the abbreviated version:

1. Stop the self-judgement just by changing your language
2. Separate yourself from the stories of your past. 
3. Discover and create alignment and develop ultimate trust in yourself. 

If something inside of you is saying, I am ready to “divorce” the bad stuff and find my NorthStar and the parts of me I used to love

Elena never thought she would be giving a Tedx talk that has been seen 40,000+ times and continues to  help thousands of LGBTQ+ people discover their own worthiness and teach their allies how to best support them.

"It was better for my kids to have a gay mom than a dead mom. I chose to be visible and I am choosing that now. The most alive moments, the most connected to the earth moments I had was when I would tell someone, I'm a lesbian."

This episode of the Road to Radical Visibility Show/Podcast Elena Joy Thurston shares her journey to radical visibility and the painful moments as well as the beautiful moments that have inspired so many to be fully themselves in business and life. 

Elena and I talk about the  struggles that come with dismantling the religious and cultural constructs that we are taught from a young age to be our beliefs and therefore our identity. She shares how "severing the ties" allowed her to truly see and be herself. 

She shares how she discovered the truest parts of herself and the lessons she learned that now empower her to help others in the LGBTQ+ communities and their allies through the Pride and Joy Foundation. 

She is an inspiration to many and I know she will be to you also. 

If you have been struggling to break free from the toxic relationships, that are often found in religious and cultural constructs or people who don't support unconditionally reach out to Elena or myself we are here to help.  

Let us know if this episode has inspired you to be fully yourself or if you're an ally how you support your LGBTQ+ loved ones, friends and community members.

What would it feel like if you didn't experience the exhaustion that can come from putting yourself out there all of the time?
How would you be able to show up in your business and life?
What kinds of things would you be able to be and do with more energy?
How many more people could you serve?

Do you  push, push, and push only to end up feeling like you have to stay in bed or veg out on the couch and watch Netflix for the weekend (let's be honest if not longer). 

I've been there and in this episode I am going to help you see the cycle your are in and how you can get out of it for good! You started a business to make an impact and it's time for you to jump off the rollercoaster of success, burnout, success, burnout... then just more burnout or a totally change. 

It can look like this: 

📌You finally get yourself pumped up to shoot a video. You shoot it, awesome! Feeling great but then you don't make another one. But you know that if you created more videos your business would experience more success. 

📌You speak up for yourself. Great, "I did it", you think and the next time you really want to, you feel like there is an invisible force holding you back, almost like your heart is telling you to speak but no words come out. 

📌You have a great product or service to launch and you do! Fantastic, but after the launch you don't have the energy to serve the people that signed up to your program and you end up feeling "bad" about it. But you just keep on pushing through.

📌You express your heart and soul in your video and posts. You get great engagement and feedback but when it comes to write the next one something tells you it's to risky to do it 2x in a row. So you create something with just a tiny bit of your soul instead of all of it. 

The you start thinking:
"I can't do this anymore"
"I can't make another decision"
"I don't even know what to say or think anymore"
"Why can't I do this"
"What do they have that I don't?"
"Why am I the only one that can't ________?

These thoughts put you back into the old patterns of contemplation, feelings of not being enough, having to "do" one more thing and in the long run create patterns that keep you from being 100% you. You even know when you show up as you things get easier, more fulfilling and confidence but the old patterns keep pulling you back. 

There is a different path and in this video I invite you to take it. 

It is in the "being" rather than the "doing". 
The transition to the internal being instead of an external "doing"  creates sustainable shifts that equal consistent results, more energy and more enjoyment in business and life. 

Are you ready? Put a 🙌 in the comments below and let me know what you thought of this video.
