Emotionally Uncomfortable

"Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears." - Les Brown Fear stops you from all things possible. Don't let fear get in the way of anything, especially your dreams. Fear = False evidence appearing real. Your fears are not real because they're not actually happening - they're based on things that haven't happened yet and therefore don't exist.

It's time we have a serious discussion about avoiding uncomfortable conversations. It's in these moments we find and create freedom and joy. Avoiding discomfort keeps you small and holds you hostage to your deepest desire. In this episode, I discuss how and why these are the most important conversations we should be having and who we become by having these conversations.

Becoming the person we want our children to become is my #1 mission in life. Showing children how to master their own greatness is priceless. " Simply stated, my students are special beyond words. I teach in an area of Brantford, Ontario known as 'Eagle Place'. I am the Grade 8 teacher to 23 strong willed, hard working, and kind hearted 13 year old students who will be venturing off to high school next year. For many of my students, our portable at the back of our school is considered their safe place. It is a place where they are fed breakfast in the morning, given a winter coat and boots to keep warm, and a place they are cared for each and every day. Their life is far from the typical life of a 13 year old. Responsibilities of their sibilings, going grocery shopping, and keeping the water bill down by showering once a week requires them to carry on their days like an adult. Although some of my students have never seen the likes of "Pizza Day" or travelled to the "North-side" of the city, they make the best of every situation and rise to every occassion. Whether it was walking 45 minutes as a group to their future high-school to win the Spirit Award or learning the game of Volleyball with only 3 balls in total, their determination rises them to the top. I have been teaching for almost 10 years, and in those 10 years I have never encountered such compassionate and grateful students. This is my first GoFundMe I have created and all proceeds will go towards sending my Grade 8 students on a Year End Trip and towards their Grade 8 Graduation. I plan on taking them on a day trip to Toronto to see the CN Tower and a Blue Jay's game, which would require a bus, food, and ticket/tour costs. For Graduation, I would use proceeds to order their plaques, reserve bowling lanes for an after-grad event, as well as get a hair stylist to do their hair at school for their big day. Although my students have been fundraising by going door to door to sell pies and pizza kits, the socioeconomic status of their community limits their funding tremendously. My goal is to give them the opportunity to live like a kid, worry-free, for a few days. I would appreciate anything you could contribute to make their final elementary year something they will never forget.

"My legs were barely touching the bathroom floor as I struggled to untie my oversized scrubs and rest my tired, unmotivated glutes on the cold hard plastic of the toilet seat. Being the short petite woman I am, I've always wondered what it would feel like to stand next to someone and not feel like they were looking down at me. Over time I discovered that if you stand far away enough from others you give off the optical illusion of being taller than you actually are. In this case, I was unable to hide, no one to distance myself from, just me and my short stocky legs barely able to ground myself while I pulled out the pregnancy test strip from my shirt pocket..." - The beginning of something new FREE RESOURCES: Parenting Teens Survival Guide Giveaway 20+ sanity-saving resources to support you on this (crazy!) journey to raise happy, healthy, confident teens!

I've always been stubborn and an outside of the box thinker. When it comes to making things happen, I take an unconventional approach. It's time you put your soul back in the game and considered how you want to feel.

Dear Ones- START KNOWING. This is something I wrote in my journal a few months ago. These words came to me through a powerful internal voice. Allow me to explain. I hear voices sometimes. It's cool. Don't be alarmed. It's all good. I'm willing to bet you hear voices sometimes, too. AT LEAST I HOPE YOU DO. Every powerful woman I know is guided by voices. Here's a story: I have a brilliant friend who used to work in academia. She told me once that she'd been conducting a series of interviews of accomplished women, for a research project about women's success in the workplace. On the outside, all these women appeared to have nothing in common. They came from all different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and all worked in different fields -- corporate and non-profit, secular and religious. But each woman carried herself with confidence and ease, and all of them had become quite powerful in their own corners of the world. When my friend asked these women how they had gotten so far, they all began by dutifully reporting the same sorts of standard statements about the importance of hard work, and cultivating discipline, and fostering good professional contacts, and staying positive, and uplifting other women, and seeking out mentors, and blah, blah, blah.. Sounds perfectly logical, right? But then there would come a moment in each interview where EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE WOMEN would seem to get bored with the questions, or maybe she was just feeling mischievous. Then each woman (EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!) would ask my friend to turn off the recording device. Then the woman would lean in really close to my friend, and say in a conspiratorial whisper, "But do you want to hear what REALLY happened?" And then EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE WOMEN would report how — at some point in her life — she had heard a voice. A mystical voice. An otherworldly voice. A powerful and certain voice. A commanding voice. A voice that could not be explained away rationally. And each of these women reported that this voice had told her exactly what she needed to do next. And she had done it. "I know it sounds crazy..." they would say. But it was true. They had heard a voice, and they had followed the voice. It hadn't been easy for any of them, they reported. The voices often told them to do really, really hard things — things that often felt like total disruptions of their lives. Maybe the voice had said, "It's time for you to move to Los Angeles now" — even though the woman had just signed a lease on an apartment in Houston. Or maybe the voice had said, "It's time for you to go to medical school" — even though she'd just had a baby. Or maybe the voice had said, "It's time for you to leave that boyfriend" — even though her parents really liked him. Or maybe the voice had said, "This religious path is no longer authentic or meaningful for you" — even though she had been raised by fundamentalists. Or maybe the voice had said, "It's time for you to learn Mandarin" — even though she'd never been to China. But the voice had come. And whatever the voice said, the woman in question had taken the enormous risk of deciding to follow it. Even when it was inconvenient. Even when it was challenging. Even when it seemed prohibitively expensive. Even when it meant cutting her losses and walking away from any sense of security whatsoever. Even when it cost her the approval of friends and family. Even when everyone thought she was insane. And THAT'S how she had gotten there, to her place of power in the world. It really had nothing to do with professional contacts, or mentors...it was just that she heard a voice, and she chose to listen. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. So. I hear voices, too. I heard voices when I was a teenager, saying, "You are meant to be a writer," and when people said, "But how will you make a living at THAT?", those voices were still like, "Yeah, whatever...you are meant to be a writer." And when I got rejection letters for years and years, and nobody was interested in my work, those voices were STILL like, "Yup...you are definitely meant to be a writer." And those voices STILL tell me I'm meant to be a writer. I'll stop writing when the voices stop telling me to write. I heard voices telling me to move to New York City when I was young. I heard voices telling me that it was imperative that I see the world, and that I learn how to travel alone as a woman — no matter what the cost or risk. I heard voices telling me not to settle for the security of getting a "real job" — but instead to just work odd jobs, and to keep traveling, and to keep writing, and to keep gambling everything for creativity and an exploratory life of the mind. (You guys, I can't tell you how many times the voices tell me never to choose security over creativity. It's exhausting and sometimes scary. But they seem to REALLY MEAN IT.) When I was in my 20's, I heard voices warning me not to get married, but I went ahead and got married anyway (side note: it's REALLY HARD fo

"How many of us stop short of success on purpose? How many of us sabotage our own happiness because failure, while miserable, is a fear we're familiar with?

" Your children express genetically whatever you repress. The purpose is to make sure that whatever you disown in your life, you attract into your life to learn how to own it so that you can be whole. Your children are designed to have a different set of values than you. You genetically gave it to them and their job is to make sure that any part of you that you haven't loved and haven't owned, they are going to push the button until you love it because you are going to love them no matter what and you have to learn to love that part of you that you ignored. So they are not here to be taught by you anymore than they are here to teach you. When you feel your buttons being pushed either by their actions or inactions; instead of reacting, reflect on the benefits of their traits to you and see how these actions or inactions serve you."

Looking to create a sense of time freedom in your life? Take the FREE 5-day challenge. Click here to join --> TIME FREEDOM CHALLENGE Today's your last Time Freedom Challenge and today is about self-awareness. Becoming aware of the activities you put in front of the task you really SHOULD be doing. Example: When I need to write some emails, I always find myself spending too much time on social media or I make plans with the kids to avoid writing. (Typically you will feel a lot of resistance around the tasks you should be doing. The tasks you resistance (for the most part) are the exact things that will give you freedom. We all have them NAME. You know those things we do to avoid doing what we need to be doing. Facebook/social media. Laundry. Cleaning the house. Watching Netflix. Over socializing. Isolating yourself. Today's Challenge: Identify your 'busy' tasks. Write it down and share with someone so they can hold you accountable. NEXT STEP: I want to know what your busy tasks are.

Today's challenge may seem obvious but it's wasn't always to me. For some reason when I started learning about Manifesting and the Law OF Attraction I believed that if I 'thought' of something I wanted long enough it would come to me. Looking to create a sense of time freedom in your life? Take the FREE 5 day challenge. Click here to join --> TIME FREEDOM CHALLENGE The missing piece was I wasn't taking action TOWARDS my goal. And this is the #1 issue I see with most women who want time freedom in their life but aren't taking action towards their goals. They attend the workshops, conferences, read the books but they aren't implementing the work. This is what I call spiritual entertainment (I heard term from Mastin Kipp). This is my genius -- helping women get out of their own way and take daily ACTION. Making an idea come to reality. Freedom is possible when you do the work. Today's challenge: Act, don't think. It's easy to get stuck in your head but your heart already knows the answer. Waiting countless hours avoiding a task will suck the life out of you and waste a lot of your time. Today's challenge: 3 things that will move you forward. These tasks can be any of the following... Revenue generating activities: An action step that will get you closer to making money in your business. Example: Sending out an email, invoicing someone, getting on the phone with someone. Happiness generating activities: An action step that is in alignment with how you want to feel. Example: Working out, walking, coffee with a friend, saying NO. Action 1: _______________ Action 2: _______________ Action 3:_______________ NEXT STEP: What are you action steps?

An energy leak is a person, place or situation that is sucking the life out of you. This may be a relationship, your environment, career (FYI: SAHM is a career), negative thinking, health etc… Looking to create a sense of time freedom in your life? Take the FREE 5 day challenge. Click here to join --> TIME FREEDOM CHALLENGE Time Freedom Challenge Day 3: Energy Leaks. Today's Challenge: Get out pen and a paper. Write down Column A | Column B Column A are the things that are CURRENTLY draining you (people, thoughts, situations, relationships) A few examples: Spending a lot of time with someone who is constantly complaining about their situation but not open to learning how to shift it. This is an 'energy leak' -- something who takes but does not give back. A high energy child who required a lot of attention from you. A work environment that is negative, uninspiring or high pressure. Column B are the things that are CURRENTLY lifting you up (people you enjoy being around, music, situations, environments). A few examples: A clean kitchen. A good morning routine. Healthy relationships. Healthy boundaries with children. A good run. A new outfit. Doing work you love. Feeling appreciated. Now look at your list and see which side A or B has more? What is currently draining you -- or what is currently filling you up? The goal is to slowly say YES to more of what you want in your life and NO to what is no longer serving you. NEXT STEP: How did this challenge go? Have questions?

" None of us is getting out of here alive; there's nothing more certain about life than our eventual death. Some of us will have our lives ripped from our hands in an instant with nary a second to ponder our existence, while others, like Gord Downie, will be handed their death sentence and time. Months, days, and then seconds to grapple with the greatest question of all; did I live a life worth living? For those of us who have followed The Tragically Hip from the beginning, this summer has been particularly poignant; our own mortality has been playing out on stage. It has been impossible to not draw comparisons to our own lives, with questions about how we will face our inevitable deaths. Thankfully the man (and the band) who provided us with a kick-ass soundtrack for our lives over the last three decades has also now gifted us with a roadmap for dying. Gord Downie could have been quiet, slipping away quietly without sharing his final days with us — and there would have been no judgement if he had. But Instead he handed us a gift. He pushed the demons that must have been wreaking havoc with him aside and gave us his all, right down to the very last song." Article reference: What Gord Downie Just Taught Us All About Dealth.

It might sound weird and I didn't even knew this was a fear until clients started telling me they were afraid of success. What if I actually get what I want? What if??? It's amazing what happens when you finally give yourself permission to want what you want. It amazes me daily the BS we tolerate in our lives and yet we are screaming out for freedom. Desire + aligned action = the freedom you crave. If you want it -- you are worthy of having it. We are now accepting application for One On One and Our Group Coaching Program.
