Slaying The Status Quo In Total Style

I'm feeling this deep desperation right now to cling onto what was our past. The kind of behaviour I have witnessed over the last few weeks has blown me away if I'm honest. The projection, the scarcity, the keyboard warriors refusing to acknowledge what their real issues are. But I'm not here today to whinge about how "difficult" it is right now, or how "exhausted" I am. So many of you are sitting in such negative energy and you're suffering for it. Listen, your resistance to the change that is happening in the world right now, is futile.

The more you resist the change that humanity and the earth are forcing upon us, the more you'll sink deeper into a hole that you'll struggle to get out of. Why do you feel as if you need things to go back to "normal"? There is no normal. There is only what IS. Right now.

Think about the ways you're talking to yourself and others. Think about the ways you're treating yourself and others. Be a better human.

Are you being a shitty human right now and are you blaming your shittiness on COVID19? Of course, there is a lot of good that is coming out of the current situation that we’re in, but there’s also a lot of haters, a lot of assholes and a lot of people that are staying “indoors” as directed, but not bothering to go inward within themselves. Instead of treating this time as some sort of “hall pass” that allows you to be a lazy, bored, angry human who sits around drinking too much and complaining about how bored you are, why don’t you use it for good? This episode is an Instagram Live that I did with Erika Cramer (The Queen of Confidence (https://www.thequeenofconfidence.com)) a few weeks ago when we were in the thick of so much bullshit happening around us and to us in our small businesses.

Think about the impact that your demands are having on the small businesses that you’re complaining to. Think about how every single one of these small businesses are doing their absolute best. They all have their own bills to pay, their own mouths to feed and they’re all also wanting to do the right thing, and the best thing for everyone.

How you act right now is a direct reflection of who you really are. Are you acting with integrity and thinking of others, or are you living in fear, blame and guilt. Change your internal conversation, and do better.

You and I both know that not everyone can be a leader. Not everyone is there at the front line demanding more, seeing more and being more. And that's totally okay. We're not all born to be leaders. We all have different strengths. You just need to be aware of what your strengths are and you need to be willing to explore them. To embody them. To feel them with every part of your soul.

So what does it take to be a leader? What does it mean to be a visionary and why do so many people seem to have such a problem with the word influence? I'm going to break it down for you here today.

If you're not willing to really explore yourself and your potential, you'll never know what you're capable of. Being a leader is hard. Having influence is hard, but for those that are born to do it - there really is no other way.

We’re coming at you today from the Billionaire Babes Club to have a deliciously confronting conversation and yes, it did take a global pandemic to get Erika and I to stop for long enough to actually have the conversations we’ve been wanting to have. This is a perfect example of how you can be using this time of isolation and “slowing down” to actually be productive. If I’m honest, I’ve really been enjoying the isolation even though my kids and my dogs are driving me bananas, but I’m so grateful for where I’m at right now.

So we want to talk to you about how you’re treating yourself in this period of isolation. The excuses that you’re making to treat yourself poorly, to sit at home and watch shitty tv and eat bad food. We’re calling you out on all this bullshit behaviour. We’re talking about changing your narrative, re-framing your mindset and changing your perspective. Don’t fuck around. You have things that are available for you to do. There are no excuses. Be cute in quarantine, get off the couch, get out of your pyjamas and show up for yourself and those that are around you. Just because you’re at home, doesn’t mean you get to give up.

Ooooo get ready people! We're heading into a huge mother of a cosmic level up whether you like it or not. We're right off the back off of a Pisces New Moon and a Virgo Full Moon. This was the end of a cycle that was calling us to go inwards, know the depths of our oceans, learn to breathe underwater, dance with our intuition, dance with our instinct and express our most creative, embodied self. There has been so many shifts, so many changes, so many situations that have been out of our control over the past couple of weeks and I tell you what, I'm excited.

Now is not the time to be hiding away and living in fear, now is the time to take the potency of this next cosmic level up and use it to your advantage. Dive into the ideas that you've been putting off. It is once again, a rebirth into the next version of our world.

 

Get ready.

We're moving towards a new reality. There is no question, no doubt and no excuses left. Yes, there is uncertainty. Yes, there are theories that need to be explored, begging to be uncovered, but why are we acting like complete assholes? Why are we only now paying attention to our elderly, and why am I not surprised that what I am witnessing is self-serving.

You can do better than this. We can BE better than this. For too long we have been ignoring the two most vulnerable parts of society - babies and the elderly, and I need you to check in with yourself. What are your motives? What do you believe and how are you choosing to live right now.

I choose to believe that feeling deeply and wholeheartedly is what is needed right now, and those feelings will be returned to me. Now is the time to show the world what you're made of. Now is your time to participate in the solution, instead of exacerbating the problem.

Now is the time to be aware of how you pathologically consume fear, because perhaps fear is the only thing that makes you feel alive. Who benefits from you continuing to feel out of control and small?

This is an exciting time to be alive. It is time to bring humanity back to the human experience.

When did joy become a challenge? Why is it that we need to actively invest in joy rather than just come across it? It’s because the norm is not joyful. Permission to be joyful is not automatically given to us. The standard recipe for life is not a delicious one - it has to be seasoned. Bliss, satisfaction, elation, contentment - they have to be found. And only when we are completely comfortable with who we are in our minds and our bodies are we able to make this discovery.

Laura Interlandi and Erica Livingston are birth and post-partum centric full-spectrum doulas and have given birth to Birdsong Brooklyn: a doula service also offering mentorship and doula training. They can be also be found chatting, laughing, learning and expanding on their podcast Tether Together. In this episode, they talk with me about achieving happiness and how the foundation is always loving yourself.

Some people are so dissociated from who they are, they cannot vocalise what brings them joy. They might question why I’m friends with my guests today, who could be classified as “the competition.” This arbitrary label means nothing to me. The way Laura and Erica show their love, build each other up, the intense friendship that they have, it’s truly something to aspire to. We don’t have to fight each other. We don’t have to live in a constant state of envy and jealousy, comparing ourselves to and trying to beat the competition somehow. There’s plenty to go around my loves. There’s plenty to be thankful for, to appreciate within each other, and to discover together. That is what these two women are all about. Seeing the way they exist together makes me believe that friendship is safe. Friendship with other women is possible and is a beautiful thing.

Connect with me, Laura and Erica in this verbal threesome as we shine a light on the difficulties of finding joy and contentment in society and teach you how to receive joy amongst all the negativity and barriers.

I've missed you so much and I feel like there is just too much to speak to you about after the incredible rebirth that I have gone through (yet again) after my recent Radical Resurgence Retreat in Bali. Amidst this so much has been happening in the backend of my business in the obliteration of systems and structures that were not supporting me and all the money that was being used in ways that was not serving me, or my business to its full potential. Today's episode is more about the solution to my problem than the bandaid to the bullshit.

On the podcast today, I'm bringing the fiery truth teller and financial wing woman Coraline Dufroux back on to spout some wisdom. I recently put together an incredibly sexy offering called The Entourage Experience. This experience made it possible for one person to follow me around the world for six to twelve months to learn my business, gain visibility for their own pursuits and be involved with everything that I do. Coraline contacted me about taking up this offering and my head exploded. Of COURSE she would be the one. Of COURSE.

I'm so excited to shatter your money beliefs this year with the help of Coraline. This woman is a wealth of knowledge, experience and we're going to be doing podcast episodes, videos, instagram lives, speaking gigs and literally anything else we can think of to get this message out to you.

Break up with your limiting money beliefs and get ready for a wild twelve months.

Everybody wants shit to work out for them, until they realise what it takes to make shit happen, and what it costs you to follow your dreams, and what is happening behind the scenes.

It's so easy to lust after what somebody has. We create these illusions around what someone has, who someone is and the life that they live. But you'll never really know what it takes and how hard you need to work, unless you start doing it for yourself. Take the focus away from what everyone else is doing and how you want to be like them, and start doing something for yourself, then you'll see how much work it actually takes. It's fucking hard. It is relentless day in, and day out. Entrepreneurship needs to be an obsession. You need to live and breathe your mission, what you want to create in the world, and then it won't feel like you're ever really working. But you need to be committed to doing the work, and relishing in the good and the bad.

I could have given up so many times by now and just gone to work at Telstra or McDonalds and had a perfectly acceptable, stable life. It would have been a lot easier than the journey I'm on, but that's not the way I'm wired. I feel so lucky to be able to live the life that I have in the way that I choose to live it.

So take the focus off of what anyone else is doing and use your struggles to create strength beyond your wildest dreams.

I’m coming at you today with an absolute doozy of a conversation. It is a conversation that I have been too scared to have in the past, for fear of possible repercussions. For fear of how I may be seen. For fear of who may be watching and listening. But you know what, no more. If not now, when? When will we stand together and speak up about the issues that affect us the most, and demand for change.

So let’s have a real conversation about the complete non-existence of support top to bottom for single mothers, single parents and the absurd reality that we’re forced to live in on a daily basis. On a policy level, a government level, political level we are in crisis mode due to the complete lack of support for those of us that need it the most. We have to jump through so many hoops, fall in line, live a life according to the checks and balances that the government determines are best, but who is it really “best” for? We’re unable to make the choices that we want to make in the timeline that works for us. We must submit to what society has allowed to happen, or we will be severely penalised.

Join me in speaking up. Join me in thinking more deeply about the ways that we can affect change, and demand to be heard, understood and taken seriously. This is a recent Instagram Live that has been turned into a podcast episode for your listening pleasure. Enjoy and spread the word.
