This past month was the month I never knew I neede This past month was the month I never knew I needed. Until I did.⁠ ⁠ So much of the angst (I'm going to use that word because it feels true) I have been feeling about business + online marketing I have come to see required the medicine of community + connection. This does not mean things are fully resolved for me, however I feel a part of my heart throughout the severe lockdowns of pandemic Melbourne is now being healed. ⁠ ⁠ November has been a deeply held month of...⁠ ⁠ The LUSH energy of a concert with Sam Smith filled with love, pride, joy + unbridled embodied expression.⁠ ⁠ Returning to Mama Bali where I first met my priestess sister @soraschilling. We spent time reconnecting after so many years apart + held a beautiful retreat with divine space holders.⁠ ⁠ I got to lovingly eat, laugh, learn + cry with so many glorious coaches from all over the world who travelled to the @bycacademy Inspiration Day in Ubud. When I say they are my favourite days of the year I truly mean it. ⁠And as always it was the 'in between' moments as captured here that bought ALL the magic.⁠ ⁠ Back home in Australia I continued to see my soul family while we worked together, dreamed of new things, made plans for future adventures + more - including a beautiful brunch with the always divine @rebeccacampbell_author ⁠Hearing Bec speak of her next book equals hashtag excitement. ⁠ And throughout this time I have supported myself through being in online community with @andrearanaej that is both holding me accountable to things I need to get biz done + expanding my capacity to respond to the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people + so many other instances where humanity has seemingly lost it way.⁠ ⁠ How do I be a part of us being found? I walk with this every day. ⁠ ⁠ Amongst this all I wish to be vulnerable + share that I continue to experience back pain every day. The spinal surgery I had was certainly not the 'cure all' I hoped it would be + I am finding myself needing to find new ways to relate to my body + what is maybe the onset of chronic pain. ⁠ ⁠ I choose for it to be my teacher. And also occasionally have a wee glass of medicinal wine + a lie down. ⁠ ⁠ Because...human. ⁠
When I think of the pain and shock I was in five m When I think of the pain and shock I was in five months ago after finding out I had to have emergency back surgery - I’m amazed that this trip to Bali has happened. The gloriousness of why I’ve been here for both @bycacademy and our Inspiration Day and Priestess Retreat with @soraschilling were divine. I don’t believe in my heart they could have been better. But as always for me it’s been the moments ‘in between’ the big moments that have carried so much. Quiet conversations. Gentle walks. Iced lattes and laughter. Dinner tables filled with joy. All with people who are indescribably incredible. Thank you Mama Bali. And all those who have touched my heart in this time. I’m ready for home now and feel a little of you all go with me.
I have cried every day I’ve been here in Bali. I have cried every day I’ve been here in Bali. The kind of tears that feel immeasurably good in all ways. Being together again after so long parted with my retreat sister @soraschilling is all I knew it would be. And for the past few days we have had the privilege of holding space for the most beautiful, wondrous and gifted sacred space holders bringing forth their true work in the world. People who commit to doing ‘the work’ - ‘their work’ so they can be the most empty vessel possible for others have my utmost respect and heart. I’m in awe of them. And also this beautiful life I’ve created where I get to call this ‘work.’
I'm dreaming a lot + I know that means something b I'm dreaming a lot + I know that means something big is brewing for me. I keep hearing I have to preserve this for myself + in doing so see if it is helpful for you too.⁠ ⁠ So here we are with my October where amongst my roses, Beau turning 3, time with divine @laura_banks @heart_sparks + @bycacademy coaches + a speaking engagement with beautiful @queenofconfidence I've had a level of discontent I've not experienced in a long time. ⁠ ⁠ This is not bad. I know it's the start of freshness. But first...the discomfort, restlessness, fear, frustration is here. ⁠ ⁠ If you follow me you may have noticed I've been calling in many things that have been taking time to become clear. I'm still wading, but here we go with at least some thoughts as I soon enter into my 20th year in business. ⁠ ⁠ 🌸 I'm over launching. And am actively looking for a way to not do it. At all. I'm not joking.⁠ ⁠ 🌸 I'm worried that many of us in online business have become content creation machines - a cog in another capitalist consumption wheel with the 'internet' cracking an invisible whip + having us convinced its 'service.' ⁠ ⁠ 🌸 I don't understand how more + more people/communities need help + seemingly cannot access it. Could it have something to do with the constant push to raise prices + 'charge our worth' - potentially at the expense of those who need us most or our business all together? ⁠ ⁠ 🌸 I do not like lining the pockets of a billionaire through having to pay to be seen by people who willingly want that to happen outside of ads.⁠ ⁠ 🌸 I may be about to throw myself off a $$ cliff by opening myself up to bartering for some of my mentoring + a radically different way to set prices. ⁠ ⁠ My discontent is not just coming from within me. It's also coming because of actual happenings in the wider world + my own business which is experiencing what is clearly economic downturn + long term impacts of the pandemic for a business that relied on in person connection. None are easy to traverse + I know I'm not alone. And so please know if this is you too - you're not either. ⁠ ⁠ Hello November. ⁠ ⁠ Come to me. In my dreams + more.⁠ ⁠ Show me what you've got.⁠ ⁠ And what I've got too. ⁠ ⁠
Many of the clients I’ve been a coach or mentor Many of the clients I’ve been a coach or mentor for and those I’ve trained to become a life coach, now earn more/charge higher prices than I do. This delights me for them. I don’t think it’s odd in any way. But I know some may! The more I deepen into midlife and what I’m hoping is a sage-filled era, the more I am starting to see things about everything in my life and business in very different ways. This includes but is not limited to my wellbeing, social justice, capitalism, community, ancient and Indigenous cultures, modern living, the Divine, sacred leadership and yes - money. The heart of my business is starting to not just speak - but actually beckon to me in wild ways (including in my dreams) telling me things like ✅ Stop growing ✅ Earn less ✅ Increase access ✅ Deepen community This feels very vulnerable to share. All around we are surrounded with messages of - grow, scale, expand. And it’s not a big leap for people to then think those are the best or even only markers of success in a business. Or the competency of the person at the helm of it and if they are worth hiring. Yes I’m talking about me. There are also so many ‘stories’ I’ve taken on board (maybe you too?) that the more experience you have, the more qualified you are, the more skills in your kit the more you should charge. And in so many ways that makes sense right? But then again - does it? If you want your work to attract a truly broad cross section of people, deeply impact an industry like coaching as I do, lead + live with sacredness, foster community, not burn out, challenge hierarchies + have it all be for a world where we create conditions for YES and peace - that stuff doesn’t happen within old stories, paradigms or the upholding of oppressive systems. Or ‘simply’ charging increasing prices. It happens from what I’m thinking must be somewhat if not entirely revolutionary thinking and action. Am I up for it? I think I have to be. When you’re called you’re called. 📸 @katieturnbullimages
I’m so delighted to be a guest on ‘Returning’ with Rebecca Campbell @rebeccacampbell_author - a beautiful podcast to help you return to yourself and your wisdom within. ⁠ ⁠ I have known Bec for many years and she is a beautiful soul.⁠ ⁠ And that word beautiful plays a starring role in this episode where we talk about the path of the priestess, spiritual leadership, the importance of listening deeply to our elders, weaving sacred practice into our daily rhythms and why beauty is a core value of mine. ⁠ ⁠ I hope you love it. ⁠ ⁠ And keep watching for a cheeky photo of Bec and I at the Beautiful You Coaching Academy @bycacademy Paris Inspiration Day in 2017. She grabbed me in a big bear hug that almost lovingly knocked me off my feet!⁠ ⁠ And there are some more divine photos there of that day too where Bec helped our upcoming life coaches tap into their deepest levels of intuition and sacredness as space holders. ⁠ ⁠ It was an incredible day made more so by Bec’s presence. ⁠ ⁠ Enjoy this episode and exploration of all things Priestess. A path in my life that continues to weave and bring me so much connection to source and my own spirit. ⁠
