Your SHEro's Journey

Karina shares how she had The Call when she was working in a traditional 9-5 role and although it didn't become her business for 10 years, she learnt to trust herself and her gifts as she continually practised her channelling skills.

A week after doing the channelling course and ‘receiving’ a large heart, she met her husband. Even though she wasn’t looking for love, she explains that it was like she had made the connection and everything started falling in to place.

Karina shares how the more she acted on her seemingly crazy hunches from her spirit guides, the more she noticed that it worked.

Karina shares how she knows it messages form her spirit guides and not just her imagination.

Initially she created a secret world and only shared her business with the closest to her and those who she knew would support her.

Even today, sometimes when she meets people she says that she works in communications, as she does, but not the way most people would assume.She shares how that when you hear the call, you know that it’s what you’re supposed to do, but you don’t know how it’s going to work out, so the initial dream needs protecting and nurturing.

Karina tells us that when she followed The Call, it wasn’t all smooth sailing, at each new step, all her 'stuff' would come out. But although it took a long time to start, once she did, it was like ‘go go go’, and she has received support from all sorts of places and felt so on track.

It was the inner knowing and feeling she was in the right place – this carried her through the ups and downs.

She feels that she created the experience she needed to keep moving forward.

One of the reasons that she didn’t start her business earlier is she was thinking about all of the terrible things that could happen, but in reality lots of amazing things happened.Karina shares that when she starts to become overwhelmed in her business, she has to remove herself from her computer and go and do something different.

One of her biggest breakthrough came when she realised that it didn’t matter if she could make a living with her gifts, as she would always have them and could still use them and offer them to herself too. Everything was going to be ok –two days later the clients kept rolling in and her inbox exploded with clients wanting readings.

Surrendering and breaking down can be a great way to move through.

Biggest Learning:

Ask for help.Tapping in to support and receiving help when it’s given.

Ruby shares how she tapped into her inner confidence and turned her life around, despite suffering from severe anxiety, panic attacks, raging don't mess with me attitude, crushing sense of inadequacy, and a hopeless need to please everyone.

Ruby shares how she left home before she finished grade twelve. She did finish grade twelve, but left home and moved out because she just knew that she had to leave. She went home, packed her stuff, and left.

At this time she had the opportunity to take a full time job, and stay in her small community, and work in the bar, and be the same forever, or she could take a chance to move with a friend to a city a couple hours away that she didn't know, where she didn't know anyone, but she had to decide right there. She made the choice to move, and left.

Ruby shares how she can make these quick choices as she explains what it feels like and how she identifies it as a call from her soul, and not just a moment of madness.

She shares that her most challenging decision was to leave a career in finance and planning. To leave the stability, and potential growth of the industry, and walk away from it. To walk away from it to be a mom, and to learn how to be a mom, and to find herself again, and then to grow forward into where she is today.

Ruby shares that becoming a mom was a huge turning point in her life. How it changed everything. Bringing a lot of stuff to a head - how it instigated a lot of looking into her inner world, and looking back on her childhood, and understanding things better, and understanding what she needed to change, and understanding patterns that she didn't want to continue with her own children. 

Ruby shares her experience of falling apart, so that she could find herself again.

Biggest Learning:

Not listen to the fear.

You can use fear as a signpost, but you don't want to listen to fear. It's like fear is your GPS giving you the wrong direction, but it's, also, giving you a point, because you go 'you really want me to go that way', so there must be something really important that I need to find the other way.

It's always an opportunity to learn something about yourself and to heal something within yourself, because the fear is rising up, because there's something in there that you're denying, or hiding, or not looking at, that you don't want  to see or you don't want to deal with.

Holly shares how she left her business in Mexico, of 8 years, and one which she loved, and moved first to Argentina and then to the UK.

She shares how it was a really hard decision for her to make, because her gut was saying you need to leave, but her heart was saying you have this really beautiful business that we’d created from the ground up, why would you leave it.

Eventually she'd had enough, and knew it was time to leave.

Holly shares that with little more than a gut feeling, she and her husband, packed up and moved to the UK.

In the beginning, she had no job or business, and with her optimistic nature she thought she could just start a business or find work, and she thought it would all be easy.

But she shares that it wasn’t, it was really hard.

Initially she trained as a coach, but that wasn't really for her. Then she took a job, and that wasn't for her either.

Holly explains that it felt like an uphill struggle.

However, this changed when she started listening to the call.

Holly's business was evolving, but the most dramatic shift happened when she trained in PSYCH-K®, she initially trained in it for personal reasons, but it changed her life and transformed her business.

Although Holly now listens to her intuition, she shares it wasn't always like that for her.

Originally, she had suppressed so many things, including her intuition, that she had no clue who she was any more, her intuition was non existent because she was so disconnect from her self.

But little by little, she dug down deep to get to know herself more. The more she paid attention to her intuition the more it has grown, before that she was completely lost.

Biggest Learning:

The power of being in touch with yourself. Making decisions based on what I want and not what I’m afraid other people will think/do as a result of my decision.

Living my life for me and not other people.

Iris Fritschi-Cussens shares that for her, the idea of being a SHEro meant connecting to the process of becoming herself and finding out what that even meant in the first place.

She shares how she has used her art as a form of self-expression so that she can connect more deeply to herself, and how by allowing whatever is going to come out through her art, from deep inside of her, is a process that is both scary and exciting at the same time. 

Iris explains how she would get really inspired by art and it would be the only thing that she could think about while she was at work. And then in the evening at home she would just feel either uninspired or too scared to start creating and would just end up watching TV instead.

She explains how she felt she couldn't trust that she could make something that she would be satisfied with, and how she has now created a process to overcome this.

Art became a gradual form of self discovery, as she began to realise that was a 'me' out there that she had not really explored, and that she had been hiding the authentic her for many, many years.

Iris reveals how she had always felt that there is a certain path, a conservative path, one where there is no conflict, as she hated conflict. She used to purposefully avoid conflict and felt this led her to a safe, boring and ultimately, unfulfilling life. And how by slowly discovering that if she is her authentic self, she might create a little bit more conflict with people, but she is so much happier so it feels like a 'no brainer trade off'.  

Biggest Learning:

How to show up in the world authenticity and that all the answers are inside of us.

Ari Powell shares how she is currently in a place of huge transition, and how all of her plans were turned upside down when she suffered the most devastating loss.

She explains that great plans don’t always happen the way you plan them, and that although she is still coming to terms with her loss and is grieving, she knows that she doesn't have all of the answers, but will continue to move forwards towards her original goals.

Ari talks about how her initial plan needs changing, but she is still working towards the same plan.

‘The journey is different, but the destination remains the same’She is taking this time to clear out the emotional 'stuff' and enjoy being herself – enjoying work on her termsAlthough she is returning to work, albeit, in a different role, she has chosen to do this as it's a safe place, and as she is the main income earner for the family it takes the stress out of the situation.Ari had originally planned to leave this job sooner as something in her life wasn't quite clicking, despite all of work she was doing, she couldn't quite get into the 'groove'.She had looked into personal development, had hired a coach, but something still wasn't right.Then she came across Creatrix, at first she was very sceptical, she thought it sounded good, but confesses that she is tight with money, and thought it sounded too unconventional.So she tried the conventional methods first as they were the safe option. Ari explains that although on some level they worked, and were of benefit, but something still wasn’t clicking…She found herself on a level 1 Creatrix training and on the first day thought 'What have I done, I’ve wasted my money.'Then she had her breakthrough - Remove doubt and everything else will follow...She did just that, it clicked and then was a total convert to the process!Ari went from the biggest doubter, to then training in the program and becoming a facilitator and uses this work to transform the lives of women.

Biggest Learning:

Goals evolve in their own time. If I try to force it too quickly, I would have sabotaged my efforts.Set goals that are towards something (not away from something), as this gives your brain one option, then if things don’t go as planned you will detour, but still head in that one direction.Set a goal, even if you are unsure of the big picture, make the goal a feeling.

About Ari:

Ari is an Empowerment Coach, Licensed Creatrix® Facilitator, public speaker, group trainer, business networker and founder of Polish Your Sparkle. Her mission is to empower women with the skills and knowledge to harness their emotional strength, to confront life’s challenges, and to relaunch their life guilt free and with certainty so they can courageously claim their most fulfilling life."As women we need a safe place to explore our potential, to talk through our goals and formulate a plan. We need to be praised to success. Empowered with the skills to tackle life’s challenges and the confidence to commit to and ultimately own our decisions. To get to a place where not only do we believe what we say when we justify our choices but that we no longer feel the need to justify our choices in the first place.I think these days women often feel like they’re committing “superwoman fraud” and are waiting to be caught out. I know I certainly felt that way. What I love about what I do is that I can help women who are in the same place I was, by equipping them with techniques and understandings that will make the process so much easier, less stressful, less frustrating and assist them to get to a more fulfilling place in their life, be it at home or work. This is my purpose and my mission. This is how I help women and this is why they work with me." Ari Powell

Donna Higton shares with us how she left her everyday routine to go backpacking to the other side of the world.

She explains how although friends and colleagues advised her against it she left everything she knew to go travelling and that how it was on this adventure she 'found herself'.

Donna returned from her travels with passion and purpose, but was soon fell back in to her old routines, even back to the same job. She knew something had to change and she shares exactly what did. 

Although Donna was living the life she was 'supposed to want', she had a successful job, great social life, house etc but she had a nagging feeling that there must be more to life. 

So she did what she had never even considered before, she went travelling. 

During her adventures she fully understood the concept of enjoying the journey, and that it wasn't about the destination.

That the beauty was in the unfolding of discovering herself, and this this process was more valuable than any label she could give herself.

Joanna Hennon shares with us how it took a nervous breakdown before she claimed back her passions, from her teenage years, back in into her life.

She explains how she turned her back on her fascination with anything to do with the soul and spirit guides, when she consciously decided it was 'stupid to be interested in it', and that it was time to grow up and be in the real world.

So she went into a corporate world and was ambitious. She describes it as 'playing office', and that her 'pretty' suits were a costume. Joanna created a whole world around this way of life, because she didn't know there was another way. 

This changed one day when she was reading O magazine, and it featured a woman who had a super high powered job, and gave it up to make wall paper. Joanna recognised that this woman had made a different choice from the typical 9-5 corporate life and was not only being recognised for it, but was being successful too! 

She realised that there was a possibility that she too could be successful leaving her corporate world and following her passions.Joanna shares that it was during the recovery from her nervous breakdown that she started to feel good again, calm again, she was no longer shouting at everyone, and she started to ask herself if it was possbile to feel like this every day.It was simple these questions that would lead Joanna back to herself and her true path.

But of course it wasn't without a few more obstacles...

Biggest Learning:

To have confidence in herself.That she’s deserving of wonderful things.That she is a soul – an unlimited being – and that gives her immense confidence

'I’m not your regular spiritual, intuitive person. You will definitely not find me walking around barefoot in my backyard.

I can literally shop till I drop, I don’t seem to have any other limits.I’ve always been obsessed with past lives – it’s so fascinating to me that we have experienced so much and that we can either remember or get information about it! Past life stuff comes through regularly in my work because patterns are often from before this life, and I am so grateful that I get to work with this!Over the past few years, I have learned to trust my intuition, even when things feel scary. Following my path – this work – has been the most fulfilling thing I have ever experienced. Worth every minute of self-doubt and fear.'

Amy Simpkins shares with us what it took for her to leave her 20 year career as a rocket scientist to become a lifestyle design strategist.

 

Amy shares how she had lost her passion, her inspiration, and her drive to continue toward the goals of her childhood and any desire to "climb the corporate ladder."

Instead she found that she wanted new goals: flexibility to travel, time with her kids, and most of all, the opportunity to have a more powerful, personal impact on the world.  

This realization rocked her.  

She began to question everything, down to who she really was at her core.  

For so long she had identified "who I am" with "what I have done or will do," especially when it came to her career, that she realized she didn't really know that much about herself anymore.  

And so began a year long (and beyond!) exploration of herself as a human BEing, not a human DOing.  An exploration of who she is RIGHT NOW, as an adult, with wonderful and unique experiences behind her and new passions and interests in front of her.

About Amy:

Amy Simpkins is a former rocket scientist who spent 10 years in the corporate world designing and flying spacecraft.  

Since hearing The Call, she is now a Lifestyle design strategist, coach, and founder of Life Architecting.  

Her new mission is to help mid-career professionals bust the myth of work/life balance, rediscover what they need to truly THRIVE, and to design and build impactful, resilient, beautiful lives from the raw material of that deep self-knowledge, exploration, and grace.

 

My coaching practice is called Life Architecting because I believe we all have the power to architect lives that are impactful, resilient, and beautiful.  

Architecture brings together art and science, form and function, beauty and structure, yin and yang.  

As architects, we must carry the vision for our lives and we must also determine how best to execute that vision within the boundaries of reality.  

Boundaries don't have to be roadblocks, they can be points of leverage from which to build magnificence.
