The welcome call for the October 2021 Beautiful Yo The welcome call for the October 2021 Beautiful You Life Coaching Course @bycacademy is tomorrow.⁠ ⁠ And I can't wait.⁠ ⁠ The opening of this portal for every course is so divine. ⁠ ⁠ The first glimpse we have of each other and the journey of becoming an amazing coach ahead and the sacred container of heartfelt dreams for a career, business and even life of service begins. ⁠ ⁠ Yes you bet. I can't wait. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 📷 @monika_berry ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
I wonder so deeply right now about the cycle of li I wonder so deeply right now about the cycle of life we are collectively living in. And through. ⁠ ⁠ It feels now, after such a prolonged time, that our feelings and thoughts and bodies and hearts are being asked to die a thousand deaths and rebirth ourselves in circumstances that are unknown and out of our control. And not just to do these things with every choking lockdown, but indeed day to day and moment to moment. ⁠ ⁠ And we’re doing so with not just physical separation, but also in certain instances sharp and painful division in beliefs, rights, privileges and needs. ⁠ ⁠ This past weekend my heart felt so heavy. I was weighted down with frustration. And so I did only what my spiritual practice and devotion calls me to at such times - and that is to embrace it all. No bypassing. No deflection. No denial of the messy, emotional and raw. ⁠ ⁠ And my soul voice gently guided me to remember that all of life - including my own life - is a cycle.⁠ ⁠ The budding, the blooming, the decline, the death. It is reflected in all we are and all we create. And so with camelias from my garden - in all their stages of the life and death cycle - I adorned my altar with this mirror of my feelings and for us all collectively.⁠ ⁠ Whatever descent I and you and we all are in right now, ⁠may I and we all remember that we will be reborn.⁠ ⁠ And while we may not know or feel like crafting what that rebirth may look like right now, may we lean fully into the knowing that the time for that budding and blooming of our creativity and insight and love will emerge again. ⁠ ⁠ It will. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
When I trained to be a coach 18 years ago this is When I trained to be a coach 18 years ago this is NOT what my trainers looked like. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ > They were all men who wore rayon suits. (One of them with ties that always had kangaroos on them!) ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ > They were old. At least to me in my 20's. ⁠⁠ > They were so fixed in how they taught + thought coaching 'should' be.⁠ ⁠⁠ > As the only woman in the class I'm sure some of them thought I was there by mistake. ⁠ ⁠⁠ Except I paid for that incredibly expensive course on my own. (You don't want to know what it would cost in todays $$!) It was the first major thing I put on a credit card. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Truth is, I didn't really love my coaching course. These are just some of the reasons why. I just felt like I wasn't seen or valued or that I could make it my own.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ But I did anyway.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Because something inside me kept telling me that this was a dynamic and amazing way of working with people - if only we could get beyond the formulaic goals, surface orientated questions, check boxes and trying to squeeze clients into doing things ⁠in a pre-destined road map devised by the coach.⁠ ⁠ I have over the years developed a way of coaching and working with people that focuses on their feelings, encourages their sovereignty and intuition, guides them to the heart of what they truly want for their life and who they want to show up as every single day. And how in every moment THEY get to choose the legacy of their life.⁠ ⁠ I honed it, used it and loved it up on hundreds and hundreds of 1:1 clients before launching the Beautiful You Coaching Academy @bycacademy And created an incredibly successful business as a coach while doing so.⁠ ⁠ I know it works.⁠ ⁠ And now - with these fun + glorious humans who make up just SOME of our global team, we get to train amazing people in how to use it too so they can create a life + business they are truly passionate about + allows them to shine in service to others. ⁠ ⁠ Today is the final day to enrol in the Beautiful You Life Coaching Course + receive incredible bonus offers. ⁠ ⁠ The link is in my bio. My DM's are open.⁠ ⁠ And so is my heart for all the coaches to come in 2022.⁠ ⁠ We're so ready for you.⁠ ⁠ And I know your future clients are too.⁠ ⁠⁠
A cautionary almost end of launch tale - but one y A cautionary almost end of launch tale - but one you may find a bit (maybe a lot) funny. . Sent a message to someone this morning and clearly was typing toooo fast. Not mindful enough. . Meant to type the word account. Accidentally split the word and left out the ‘co’ to make it ‘a c**t.’ 🤭😱🤭 . Oh dear. Thank goodness they laughed and realised that was not what I meant. . Launches hey? They’re exciting and stretching and filled with emotional ups and downs. . And mistakes. . May we forgive ourselves and each other at such times! . Tell me a funny launch story of yours. I’d love to know… .
Holding space.⁠ ⁠ I know it’s something that Holding space.⁠ ⁠ I know it’s something that many of you who listen to The Priestess Podcast do whether it be as a parent, sacred space holder, coach, healer or guide.⁠ ⁠ How well do you do it however?⁠ ⁠ How deeply, how reverently, how present, how focused?⁠ ⁠ There is no one better I could think of to converse with about this than Heather Plett @heatherplett, author of ‘The Art of Holding Space’ (my absolute favourite book of the past year) and the Founder of the Centre for Holding Space @centreforholdingspace ⁠ ⁠ Heather leads us in this interview about how vital it is we learn to hold space for ourselves, what liminal space is, why we should be aiming to move from safe to brave spaces, and the most potent step you can take right now to become a better space holder.⁠ ⁠ Get ready to leave this conversation with your heart lit and ready to become better at your craft and the art of conversation with those you love. ⁠ ⁠
I get interviewed a lot which I really enjoy. It's I get interviewed a lot which I really enjoy. It's a privilege to share my voice when asked. One of the questions that people often ask me is 'What makes a great coach?' It's a great question because the answer is not simple or easy. There are a lot of skills that go into making up any coach - let alone a great one - but here's what I know for sure... How well you can hold space for yourself is key. And so... How much attention do you pay to your own soul longings? Do you listen to your body? Will you permit yourself to feel all your feelings and not push any part of you to the side? Are you working on developing your relationship to your intuition and inner voice? Can you compassionately respond to your inner critic and ego? Forgiven yourself lately (or even ever) for that mistake, mishap, misstep or total stuff up? In the throes of letting go of perfectionism, black and white thinking, comparing yourself to others and self and societal labels that keep you boxed, bound and small? Phew...it's a lot isn't it? I get it. And all of these things (and so much more) for all of us mean we are works in progress as human beings and coaches. Not just right now. For life. No coach is perfect and has this right all the time. Impossible. A great coach however draws their own personal development, growth and life challenges straight to them with as much as love and self-compassion they can muster. They are genuine, authentic and real and know that everything they do in service to themselves will benefit their clients too. This is why the journey of personal development you go on when you train to become a life coach with the Beautiful You Coaching Academy @bycacademy is just as vital as any coaching skill you may learn, or business acumen you may develop. Truth. If the thought of that and becoming your own greatest client as a coach is something that you know is the right path for you in a coach training - you will get it deeply with us. We can't not deliver it to you - it's imperative to us. A great you is a great coach. Bonus offers for our 2022 launch are available until September 10th, 5pm AEST.
