Remaining Unshakeable Amidst Turmoil (Part 1)

Wow, what a month! One that shook me so to the core, I had to set aside being in touch until I could see the perfection wanting to emerge through what looked like a lot of turmoil.

A few weeks later, I feel grounded enough to begin sharing the lessons I am receiving that are changing how I’m showing up as a leader, my experience of faith and resilience and what it truly means to be an awakened woman and a Spirit-led agent of change.

Long story short, in April unexpected family matters arose and I went from feeling radically on track in my work to feeling hit by a tsunami of unexpected upheaval that caused me to question practically everything.

I was at the top of my game as a spiritual counselor and empowerment coach, had successful launched a new ebook and was about to launch a fear-busting course for aspiring change-makers to anchor deeply into their soul’s strength and vision and finally share their gifts rooted in the most centered, confident and clear space within…

… and so of course, Life beautifully chose to shake things up so I can deepen my own understanding of what it takes to be an unshakeable, soul-centered leader and pass on these lessons of faith, confidence and resilience in a greater way!

While it’s impossible to share the depths of my experience in one post, I feel called to share the lesson highlights for you women who know you’re here to make a difference but have experienced what feels like so many obstacles, you feel exhausted, confused and on the verge of giving up.

Turmoil 2

If this is you, please know:
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!

A way filled with unwavering confidence and a joyous willingness to share your gifts,
A way of flow and endless supportive synchronicity,
A way where no matter what happens, you remain a pillar, standing strongly and faithfully in your values and mission,

The way of a true spiritual leader.

The one certainty in life is change and thanks to tools I’ve been blessed with and the depths of faith I’ve developed…

“This time rather than being thrown dramatically off course, I was catapulted into a greater clarity and sense of power than ever before.”

As usual, all is a blessing (even turmoil) and the lessons I share below are meant to help you live this knowing so you can avoid needless pain, suffering, frustration… or worse, feeling so thrown off your path that you give up and don’t do the great work you’re here to do.

So here they are… a peek into some of the lessons I was reminded of to help you skip the grief and fall right into grace:

1. NONE OF MY FEELINGS ARE BEING CREATED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES/ PEOPLE AROUND ME: Over the past month I had infinite opportunities to remember that all the seeming turmoil around me could never cause me to feel insecurity or fear, UNLESS I had thoughts of fear and insecurity! That’s right… my feelings are NEVER a reflection of what is occurring “out” there, they’re only ever a reflection of my thinking.

I can continue to falsely think the situation is what’s making me feel a certain way and try to change the situation in a useless attempt to change my feelings (which inevitably will leave you feeling powerless as we rarely can control circumstance!). OR I can remember that my feelings are always created by my thoughts and I can choose to let fear or grief producing thoughts pass like clouds in the sky and allow the clarity, peace and love that I actually am reemerge (this is what WILL happen if we stop believing and focusing on our temporary thoughts and feelings: our default peaceful nature will take over once again).

2. NOTHING IS HAPPENING TO ME RATHER FOR ME TO CREATE THE GREATEST (MOST EFFICIENT) TRANSFORMATION: I’ve been reminded powerfully once again that, contrary to how it seems, life truly is FOR us and only ever giving us what will help us grow as quickly as possible. The thing is, if I feel something is happening TO me, I shut down in a pit of self-induced victimhood and childish frustration and set myself up to repeat the situation again and again until I CHOOSE THE OTHER PATH…

…The path where I trust my Universe so much to guide me perfectly that I simply relax amidst all the temporary thoughts of fear and insecurity. It is only here that I can truly see the blessings here to SERVE, not derail, me and I am left feeling gratitude, growing at light speed (rather than hitting wall after stubborn wall) and simply, sweetly at ease (AKA: actually enjoying life instead of kicking and screaming on the way!).

3. ONLY THROUGH FAITH DOES CLEAR GUIDANCE COME: Oh, how many times did I get reminded that if I am frightened, tense and resistant to what is, all I accomplish is locking up and clouding my clarity. From here, my choices will only ever be fear-driven and off-point, leading to unnecessary obstacles, difficulty and frustration.

Alternatively, when I’m relaxed and faith-filled, clarity and confidence prevail and I find myself being led down the most unexpected pathways that resolve issues with miraculous ease, efficiency and grace (THIS is when life gets fun… filled with synchronicity, support, blessings and flow!).

Oh, and it did not stop there… I discovered so much more… But I’ll save those for part 2 of this post.

For now, I ask you to simply remember (especially those of us going through challenging times):

“Life isn’t here to test you, it is here to help you and forever remind you who you truly are.”

EACH situation and person that comes into your path is FOR you, even when it doesn’t appear that way. Anchor into these lessons, and life will naturally show itself to be the great blessings and best friend that it is.

This is the way of a true spiritual leader and what will make you not only resilient along the way, but ensure that you ENJOY your path and are a truly embodied model of faith, empowerment and the heart’s way!
