180° Turns

This is a love letter to you who are dreaming about a 180° shift in your career, relationship or location. (for a few of you, maybe all 3 at once) 

As an expert on 180° turns, I can tell you that the scariest part is the lead up. The anticipation. The crippling anxiety and fear around “WHAT IF IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN?” 

Here’s the truth. If I had stayed in any of my “before” situations, it would have come crashing down anyways. I agonized and over-analyzed and tried to convince myself to stay put. To not rock the boat (again). 

At each point, I realized the only way to access healing and wholeness was to make a major change. To 180° away from a cult-like religious community. To 180° from a career (and a cush paycheck) that no longer aligned with my path forward. 

In each case, it took me years to turn the ship around. I got really good at numbing myself through the growing dissatisfaction. Until that didn’t really work anymore. Until the disconnection wasn’t worth it anymore. 

For you who are here, you are not alone. You are not crazy for wanting more. You are not crazy for wanting LESS. 

I KNOW what it feels like to head into uncharted territory. I have felt the fear and the anxiety and the misery that tags along. 

That’s why I can say with 100% certainty that there’s incredible magic on the other side. 

Is it always easy over here? No. AND ALSO, it’s the most beautiful thing- to ride the wave or hike the crest of the mountain. It’s empowering to bet on yourself and win. 

I have found (and my clients confirm) that it is scariest just before the decision to go for it. 

Our doubt is the loudest right before the jump, the switch, the relocation, the change. 

OF COURSE IT IS. It’s your protective parts are advocating for you. 

But here’s the thing, when our current dissatisfaction is consistent and persistent, our protective brain can’t do it alone. Now is the prime time to bring in your other intelligence centers- your body and your heart- to help guide you. To fully bet on yourself, you need all 3. 

Admittedly, I didn’t know how to tap into those centers very well, which is why it took me YEARS to make the changes. And I suffered as a result. 

You don’t have to suffer alone or prolong the scariest parts. 

Now, I am an expert at helping people bet on themselves and win. 

I’ll be right here cheering you on as you break through the fear and ride your own wave of empowerment and fulfillment. 

Sending love to you.
