This isn't an episode for everyone, just for those of you who are interested in plant medicine and not quite sure where to start, I shared my experience with Iboga, Ayahuasca, Kambo, Bufo, Sacred Mushroom and San Pedro. 

High frequency is the key to making a TRUE difference in the world and holding space for your clients. 

Ultimately comes down to love. 

Moving into the frequency of love, as I come to find out, isn't about massaging your heart chakra, thinking loving thoughts,... at least for me.

People are afraid if they do spiritual work they will lose their drive.

Well, they are right.

This year has been an insanely incredibly year. From emotional release to part work, trauma work, radical truth-telling, to sweat lodges and then kambo, ayahuasca & yage sittings (20 or 25x), and iboga.

People are like “you lost ya mind why you need to do all that, isn't one ceremony enough for you?”

I say “I wish, but the level of BS I was in the weeds with was pretty spectacular and the level of belief systems and attachments isn't something I can resolve in a single night, or a week, or a month.”

So back to your concern: "If I do this am I going to lose my drive?"

Your priorities might change.

Success might not mean as much to you.

Whether people like what you are saying or not might not mean as much to you.

My dreams before all this:

- grow a large company

- become a NYT bestselling author

- save a lot of money so I can do whatever Lexi and I want to do

- have the most possible experiences traveling all over the world

- lots of success

- lots of fun

Nothing wrong with this. Nothing wrong with blowing stuff up. All of these things might still happen…

but right now, what I am obsessed with is this: AUTHENTIC LIFE

- realign every part of my life with my soul

- complete and perfect integrity (that's a pretty big process, as the level of self-deceit I have recently come to find is pretty challenging :D)

- heal as much as I possibly can in this lifetime, for myself and for the generations to come

- learn to live in alignment with mama earth, eventually, and yikes, I really love my air conditioning

And it's going to be a LONG process.

P.S. Did you register for our free 7-day retreat starting on January 10? It’s one of our only two retreats in the next 12 months so make sure you don’t miss it!

When: January 10-16, 8pm EST

Year Review → I call 2021 an enormous success beyond measure and beyond my wildest imagination.

Not for the reasons you think lol!

Yes, there was business success, 7-figure revenue in Q1, which…

lead me to states where I had to question everything and the ideas behind competence, success, achievement… and what followed was….

KALI.

I was made  aware of her presence recently, but I suspect that she’s been around “helping out”

at least since 2019 when 4 days into my pregnancy my lover left the country and I would never hear from him again to this day.

Who is Kali? A Hindu goddess of chaos and destruction who dresses in skulls and looks a little scary. Also the goddess of death and rebirth and transformation.

She will sweep in with seemingly random events and throws your life in chaos, out of love. When you aren't willing to tear your own life of pretenses down, she helps.

She's not gentle about it.

Neither am I, so I have immense appreciation for the “cut the crap” energy.

Magic happens. You are forced to purify, purify, purify.

What followed was an intense cleansing process.

Past trauma.

Relationship with self.

Narcissism.

Valuing weird stuff, like success for the sake of success.

Constant seeking and searching.

Needing to be respected or seen as a success.

Hiding and pretending (also known as lying) to others and to myself.

Judgmentalism.

Seeing others as more than/less than.

Control.

Endless pressure and carrying the world on my shoulders.

Perfectionism, superdoing, superwomaning.

And on and on and on.

If you think “what the heck Iva, what kind of hell were you living in?” - that seemed kind of normal, like normal ego stuff. A lot of it was not even conscious.

There was one thing, in particular, that was hell that brought grief so deep I could not even face it.

Months and months of resistance to spending time with my own daughter, who is just about the happiest most loving toddler and there was no logical reason for it.

I thought well, as a working mother-father 2-in-1, that’s just how it is.

I was always a good mom through it all, but I would count down to her bedtime so I could exhale.

Healing that, and falling back in love with her as well as with myself, was the biggest gift of 2021, but I had to heal everything else on the list for the heart to open back up.

I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am to have had the resources, the teachers, the support to be able to dig this deep.

And so…

Going into 2022 I am…

WILLING!!!! (Screams on top of her lungs).

I trust so much the process (of life). I highly doubt 2022 will be smooth sailing but that is so not the point anyway.

I am willing to follow my soul and my heart even when I disappoint others and it's completely irrational and people think I have gone nuts (lol i have been told that this year too.)

I am willing to continue turning into goo anything that's not pure.

I am willing to experience and feel any emotion that arises.

Willing to stop, and do absolutely nothing when that is what is needed (that is the scariest one on the list.)

Willing to stop mid-sentence, if my soul and heart says stop.

Willing to let go of anything that stands between me and freedom and, willing to say or do ANYTHING that will free another.

We have been through a lot as an entrepreneurial community. Many, many entrepreneurs are at the end of their rope. The vast majority of the tactics that worked in 2020 don’t really work anymore, but it isn’t about the tactics at all.

It’s actually a beautiful transition.

People are smarter. They smell agenda from distance.

Many don’t want to get on sales calls.

If they want to buy from you, they want to decide that on their own terms without sales pressure.

If they talk to you, they want it to be a human-to-human conversation.

They don’t want to attend your free events unless they actually know it’s going to be worth their time and not a 7-day pitch fest with a bunch of withheld information. It’s not about the money, it’s about their time.

They want to know how to work with you because more than ever they realize the importance of transformation, but they don’t want to jump through 898784 hoops and loops to get the info on how to work with you.

But most of all, they can’t be bothered with inauthenticity. They want to work with a human person. They don’t care about your certifications. They want to know that you have been through the craziness too and now are here to tell stories about it.

This all is beautiful and is forcing us all as an industry to uplevel, into INTEGRITY.

My intention for the last days of 2021, is very different than you might think.

I chose death.

I asked and prayed for the courage to SEE, and DIE EVERYTHING that does not belong to 2022.

Aspects of me, my brand, and my business that don’t belong.

I asked multiple clients to leave and released others.

I shut down our instagram profiles and did heavy-duty cleanup.

I shut down the S.E.R.V.E. method retreats. I LOVED the serve method, and it’s an amazing concept and it has served many, but - it’s a zone of genius for me, not a zone of magic. And there’s a difference.

I launched a new concept, the Break Free Process, a free inner journey experience (beta version happening in January.)

Old mission: Do a lot, make 6 and 7 figures, and hopefully be happy because you have the money.

New mission: Your CEO metamorphosis.

I call it metamorphosis because it literally is turning everything that doesn’t belong into a goo ina cocoon, so you can be a butterfly.

It takes SO MUCH courage to metamorphose.

Most people are just trying to put wings on their caterpillar. That is NOT a transformation. The old does have to die if you are going to re-birth your business.

Where do you start?

Some crazy difficult questions. And if the answers don’t push you, you aren’t doing the work.

#1. The stuff I am teaching - is this in my zone of magic? Because there’s a difference between a zone of genius and a zone of magic. You can be GOOD at something, really good, but if it’s no longer your purpose, eventually you are either going to end up broke again, or feeling like crap, or both.

#2. Do I need the courage to release some clients?

#3. Do I need the courage to release some team members?

#4. Do I need the courage to release aspects of my program, or my program altogether?

#5. Do I need the courage to change my launch strategy?

And then there is you. To be authentic, you need limitless freedom of self expression. You need to die everything that’s holding back from your most glorious, authentic, expression. The questions to ask are:

#1. What are you afraid that if people knew about you they wouldn’t work with you?

#2. Do you believe that you have to show up a certain way, or say/deliver certain things for people to like you/want to work with you?

(I guarantee you have at least 5 rules for yourself.)

When we hit a wall in our business and things aren't moving... 

What we typically think it means is this:

What it really means is this:

Part 2.

We have been walking asleep.

Now what? :-P

The pain that we are experiencing. The emotional rollercoaster, the sickness, the pressure, the stress.. is the pain of having prayed to false gods and aligning with inauthentic values.

If you have made it to this point and you had a moment when you said “SHIT. I have been deceiving myself and others my whole life.” huge congratulations.

What’s the big deceit?

You know, some people believe that flying into a building and killing a bunch of people is going to take them to heaven.

We think it’s weird.

But we think we have our values right.

No, we’re just somewhere else on the scale of lost and found.

We are ignorant and completely innocent.

No sin is even possible. You just don’t know what you don’t know yet.

I’m no different. I’m lost in so many ways I haven’t even seen yet. I’m sure this post will be cringe-worthy a year from now, you know what I mean? :D

(I HOPE it will be cringe-worthy {in the most self-compassionate way.} I hope my eyes open wider and wider.)

Where have we gone wrong then?

#1. We think if we can line all of our ducks in a row, assure complete certainty and security, and feel in control of life, we will reach a state of happiness.

(We chase certainty.)

#2. We think that if we get everyone to approve of us, agree with us, like us, love us, admire us, respect us, life will be fabulous.

(We chase validation.)

#3. We think that if we stand out, be unique, different, and special, do more, be more, have more impact, we will be at the top of the mountain.

(We chase status.)

#4. We think if we just figure out the right way to be, follow the right people, have the right opinions, think the right things, be part of the right circles, be in the right room, we’ll get there.

(We chase getting to heaven.)

#5. We create a system of hierarchy of bad, good, better, best, and sort people on our ladder. We evaluate, grade, and compare. And then we do the same thing to ourselves. Size 2 is better than size 13.

10,000 followers are better than 500.

Achieved is better than lazy.

(We one-up.)

And without questioning we have bought into some interesting thing. For example:

That super-productivity, achievement, doing, and being more, is good. Are we sure about that?

That good parents should keep their kids from struggling. Are we sure about that?

That education and knowledge are important to success, and success is important. Are we sure about that?

That climbing the social ladder is what to strive for. Are we sure about that?

Now, women should be more feminine and slow down and men should be more masculine. Are we sure about that?

========

We have been walking asleep. Instead of discerning and questioning, we have been looking to others to give us the answers.

They must have figured it out.

Welp - most of them haven’t.

I mean, look at us, funny humans:

We are injecting ourselves with toxic stuff to heal our bodies.

We poison ourselves with processed food to soothe our feelings.

We jump from one bad relationship to another in search of completion.

Some people fly airplanes into buildings to “get there.”

….

I went to try yoga over and over, just because I thought I should, and just didn’t get it.

I tried to potty train Lexi when she was 18 months to no avail, just because I thought I should.

I have maintained friendships, just because I thought I should.

Life became a set of made-up rules and doing things that sounded good, but were they really aligned?

Valuing what everyone values, just because - if this is what other people think and do, it must be true.

Time to wake up, and start realigning.
