Trusting Your Gut: Why Intuitive Coaching is a Game-Changer for Women in Business

by | May 4, 2023 | Intuition, Tarot Readings, women in business

Are you tired of feeling stuck and held back in your business? Do you have a sense that there’s more for you, but you’re not quite sure how to get there? Intuitive sessions for women in business may be just what you need to unlock your potential and start playing big.

I get it!

As a successful female entrepreneur myself, I know firsthand how important it is to listen to your intuition. That’s why I’ve created these intuitive sessions to help other women in business harness their own intuition and use it to achieve their goals. And it’s not just me – many famous women in business, such as Oprah Winfrey and Arianna Huffington, have spoken about the role intuition has played in their success.

According to a study by the Kauffman Foundation, women entrepreneurs who trust their intuition tend to have higher revenue and profits. It makes sense – when you trust your gut and make decisions based on what feels right, you’re more likely to make smart choices that lead to success.

But playing big in business isn’t just about making more money. It’s about having a bigger impact, making a difference in the world, and fulfilling your potential. And to do that, you need to be able to tap into your intuition and use it as a guide.

Through these Intuitive Sessions, we’ll work together to help you:
  • Identify your intuition and learn to trust it
  • Gain clarity on your goals and vision for your business
  • Develop a strategy for achieving your goals that feels authentic and aligned with your values
  • Overcome obstacles and challenges that may be holding you back
  • Take bold action and step into your power

So if you’re ready to unlock your potential and start playing big in your business, sign up for an intuitive tarot session today. Let’s work together to make your dreams a reality.

With my tarot coaching sessions, you’ll receive personalized one-on-one attention to help you reach your business goals. Using the tarot, we’ll work together to identify any limiting beliefs and patterns that may be holding you back, and create a plan to move forward with purpose.

Through entrepreneurial readings and longer coaching programs, my clients have achieved amazing results such as increased revenue, improved productivity, and a greater sense of fulfillment in their work. By tapping into your intuition, you’ll be able to make decisions that align with your purpose and passions, ultimately leading to a more successful and fulfilling business.

When The Universe Tells You ‘No’: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

When The Universe Tells You ‘No’: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

by | May 2, 2023 | Intuition, Self Care and Personal Development, Tarot Readings

Did you ever just feel that no matter what you do road blocks are being thrown up in your face time and time again?  You “feel” like your intuition is leading you down a certain path and then BOOM… the Universe hits you with a road block.  So you go, “Hey shitty Road Block, I’m not gonna let you stop me, I’ll just bulldoze you over!”  Or “Hey Road Block, you don’t fool me, I’m just gonna walk aaaaaalll the way around you!”

Only to be met by, you guessed it, another road block.

I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me.

A million billion times.

And it is only looking back with hindsight that we can clearly see what was leading us there and why we were pushing so hard to create an outcome.

Hindsight is a fascinating thing.

hind·sight
noun
  1. understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened or developed.
    “with hindsight, I should never have gone”

They say hindsight is 20/20, but why is that?  Why can we not trust our intuition and instinct in the moment?  What is it that is clouding our judgement so much that we refuse to see or can’t see that the path forward is just not meant for us?

There are several reasons why we may not listen to our intuition and therefore miss the path laid out before us:

  1. Lack of Trust: Some people may not trust their intuition and rely more on logic and rational thought. They may feel that their intuition is unreliable or that it cannot be trusted.
  2. Fear of Making Mistakes: Fear of making mistakes can prevent people from listening to their intuition. They may worry that following their intuition may lead to negative consequences, so they prefer to rely on more objective measures.
  3. Social Conditioning: Society often places more value on logic and rational thought than on intuition. As a result, some people may have been conditioned to ignore their intuition and to rely solely on objective measures.
  4. Overthinking: Overthinking and analyzing situations can also prevent people from listening to their intuition. They may become so caught up in analyzing the situation that they ignore their inner voice.
  5. Lack of Practice: Listening to intuition requires practice, and some people may not have developed the skill to do so effectively. With practice, however, people can learn to recognize and trust their intuition more readily.

As a result, if you believe in this sort of thing, The Universe or your higher self needs to – at times – create extremely strong and loud road blocks in our way in an effort to steer us in the right direction.

So, what do you do then when you get the sense that the Universe is saying “no” about a current situation in your life? 

Well, you can stop all efforts and just WAIT and do nothing.  See what comes up from that quiet of lack of motion.  Sometimes when we take a pause that is enough to allow the answer to bubble to the surface.  Or, you could get a reading of some kind or therapy.  Either of these options allow a third party to help you – using tools like the tarot – to circumvent your logical brain and the inner critic and the ego to tap into the clear powerful voice of your own Wise Mind.  You could also use what I like to call Deep Listening which you can read all about in a previous blog post HERE. Or you can simply plough ahead and see what happens.  Sometimes it might work out, sometimes not, I have been known to pick this option on a number of occasions.

When to really stop all of the presses, though, and understand that The Universe or whatever that force is is indeed trying to stop you and steer you in another direction:
  1. Injury or illness – if your body is suddenly not well, even back pain or headaches, it is time for you to pay attention to where you are at in your life.  Myself I pivot to the thing that feels most in alignment and pay attention to my body signals.
  2. People you love are reflecting back to you that you are “not happy” or “seem very stressed” – if you have people in your life that you love and trust they, at times, will have a better insight into your well being than you do.  Pay attention when you hear people you trust in your life start to tell you they are worried about you.
  3. Other things keep pulling at you – those times when road blocks are happening over and over, pay attention to the things – sometimes one thing – that keep tugging at you persistently.  It could be a nagging feeling or a “gut feeling” that keeps coming up. This is your intuition and “The Universe” trying to talk to you!
  4. Conflicts in your relationships – this one is a bit more nuanced but never-the-less no less powerful.  When we are dragging ourselves down the wrong road the toll this can take on our psyche and very being has a direct affect on those around us.  If you are generally unhappy because you can’t make a thing happen, it might not be your thing.
  5. Noticing feelings of envy or jealousy of others – another nuanced one but if you are moving down the wrong path and someone you know is moving down a different one and you start to think, “Dang it!  I WANNA GO DOWN THAT PATH!” Then that is a HUGE HINT that that path is more in alignment with you and where you should be going.

All in all we all have experienced when we feel like The Universe is deliberately f-ing with us and foiling our plans at every turn, but like that Garth Brooks song says, “Thank God for unanswered prayers” because sometimes things are not meant for you, no matter how badly we think we want them.

If you are struggling with this in your life at all right now or in the future I can help!  Reach out to inquire about readings or coaching with me and we can help you get clarity about your path together.  One of the quickest ways to get answers on if a path is a yay or nay is a tarot reading or a coaching series so you don’t have to waste one more second of your precious life bulldozing road blocks out of the way down a path that was never meant for you.

And a final message from a colleague of mine, if things aren’t going your way try to remember this:

“Not rejected – redirected.” 

 

LOVE. THIS.

3 Ways to Play Bigger in your Life and Work

3 Ways to Play Bigger in your Life and Work

by | Feb 9, 2023 | Intuition, Intuitive living, life coaching, Self Care and Personal Development, Soulful Living

 

I have been over here thinking about you and wondering something.  Have you ever wanted to PLAY BIG in your life orwork?  Have you ever wanted to feel more confident in everything you do or take bolder action and have a greater impact in the world through your work?  Do you ever get tired of feeling “too old” or “too young” or “too lacking” in know how to do what you want to do?  Are you exhausted with trying to please everyone else and you just want to do things for YOU for once in your life?

ME. TOO.

About eleven years ago I stumbled across the work of Tara Mohr.  I was smack dab in the middle of a Dark Night of the Soul point in my life and she was literally one of the life lines that saved me back then.  I took her course, applied all of the tools and then launched my business back in 2014.  I now am a trained Playing Big Facilitator and use – and teach – the tools that I learned in Playing Big with all of my clients, students, and people in my life.

I occasionally still find myself wandering aimlessly in Playing Small so then I dust off my tools and apply them and VOILA… PLAYING BIG activates and me and my Wild Woman self are expanding and beaming light and lifting others along the way. 

Use these tools when you are being called to do something outside your comfort zone and you are feeling TERRIFIED and even PARALYZED to make even a tiny step towards said thing.

If you relate to any of this, here are THREE TOOLS you can use TODAY to start playing big:

1. Get Curious:  one of the very first tools you can implement is to get curious about the fear you are feeling. What is at the root of this fear? Do you feel like you don’t know enough? Do you feel like an imposter? Getting curious takes the charge out of the fear. It neutralizes it enough so that you can begin to manage the fear so that you can do the thing in spite of it.

2. Tap Into your Inner Mentor: I have a great guided meditation that I do with my workshop participants and my clients on how to visit your inner mentor – YOU 20 years into the future. There’s something very magical about visiting “future you” because they have already been through everything you are going through. They have 20 years of wisdom and they have 20 years of navigating life and work that they can share with you. It is an incredibly powerful exercise and will also neutralize the fear and make you feel quite fearless actually.

3. Reconnect with your Desire to Serve: This is such a huge one!  I learned this from a few teachers along my journey of being an entrepreneur and just, well, being a person in the world. When we shift to being of service it takes the pressure off of us feeling like we have to perform. For example, if you wanted to be a public speaker and you want to start going to Toastmasters you might be terrified and your inner critic might be trying to stop you. This is a classic example of the inner saboteur or inner critic stopping you from playing big. If you shifted to a service mindset –  in other words how can my speeches or my inspirational talks truly help others? If you really stay there in your intention suddenly it’s not a scary anymore because it’s not really about you!  AMAZING!

These are just 3 tools from a loooooong list of others to help you and support your Playing Big Journey.  If you are really ready to step into your true authentic self and are tired of you getting in your own way, I invite you to check out my readings AND/OR Playing Big Coaching.  I have helped dozens of people to play big – become published best selling authors, become public speakers, launching successful businesses, leave unhappy relationships… you name it!  I am here FOR YOU. And my work ACTUALLY CAN HELP YOU FOR REALZ.  Visit HERE for coaching info and HERE for personal readings and HERE for entrepreneurial readings.  Can’t wait to support you on your journey!

The Art of Deep Listening

The Art of Deep Listening

by | Jun 30, 2020 | Self Care and Personal Development, Uncategorized

When was the last time you decided something without thinking too much about it. It was something that just “felt” right and you just SAID YES or it just DIDN’T feel right for no logical reason so you just SAID NO and felt no guilt or pressure about it. What if every decision you ever had to make in your life felt like that? What would that mean to you?

There is a practice that I have been exploring for the last few years pretty intently. It is a practice that will lead to this way of being more often in your life. And yes, it has everything to do with your intuition.

It’s called Deep Listening.

What exactly is Deep Listening?

The dissectionists in ancient times (literally people who dissected animals and cadavers for science and enlightenment) believed that the auditory nerve nerve was composed of THREE pathways:

  • One level of hearing was for the mundane things in life, the everyday conversations all around us.
  • A second level of hearing was, they surmised, designed to interpret and absorb all art and all higher learning.
  • the third level existed so that the soul might hear the guidance it needed.

Deep Listening then, is Soul Listening. 

When we are caught up in the wash, rinse, repeat of our lives… you know, the to-do lists, the obligations, the moving our own desires, needs, well being to the back as we care for others, we may have lost, temporarily, the amazing art of Deep Listening.

Some of the signs that we may be in this place are:

  • short fuse – lack of patience for things outside of our control
  • feeling of listlessness or lack of purpose
  • feeling like a machine or robot with no access to any real emotions
  • feeling not bad but not good either
  • feeling a restlessness for “something” but you cannot put your finger on it
  • no energy to create anything – writing, art, cooking, dancing, etc

There are more “symptoms” to when we are caught in the wash, rinse, repeat cycle, but you will know what this feels like for you.

And Deep Listening can be a doorway to reigniting your Soul Life back to you.

Deep Listening can also aid you in, as I said earlier, making decisions. If we are tapped into this place, no decision is too big for us because we will just know what to do.

So how do we begin?

We begin by starting to pay attention to the, as an old german lady I knew called it “Inner Bruder Lisch.” Her “Inner Brother”. This is her name for her inner wise voice that guides her and alerts her to when she has lost her way. I like to call this voice my Inner Wild Woman or Inner Wise Woman. The name is not important. Recognizing the voice is.

You may think that your inner voice is only chiming up during big life altering times, but actually it speaks to us all the time. And you will notice it because it sometimes will tell you to turn left at the lights suddenly, instead of going straight. Even though you go straight every single time. Start to listen to these instructions every day. You might hear it tell you to call a friend, or turn on the radio, or wear a certain outfit. You simply start doing what it is guiding you to do.

But Lisa, you say, how do I know it is my inner voice for realz?

Ahhh.. that is the thing with Deep Listening. You will know because you will JUST KNOW. And this takes practice. Just follow this inner guidance, hunch, feeling for this week and see where it takes you.

The next step is to spend time in solitude and quiet, if you can. And even better, to do something creative at the same time. Paint, write, sing, dance, make collages. This is NOT while you watch TV, though. You can put on music, but this is where you let your wildish nature lead you to your creative self. Another door into Deep Listening.

That is enough for now, you adorable creature. I invite you to try some of these things. I am busy Deeply Listening to my own Inner Bruder Lisch who is instructing me to create something for you.  See below!

I will leave you with a passage from my companion and guide in my life – the book Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola-Estes:

“So what comprises the Wild Woman? She is all that is of instinct, of the worlds both seen and hidden…….She is intuition, she is far-seer, she is deep listener, she is loyal heart. She encourages humans to remain multi-lingual: fluent in the languages of dreams, passion, and poetry. She whispers from night dreams, she leaves behind on the terrain of a woman’s soul a coarse hair and muddy footprints. These fill women with longing to find her, free her, and love her.”

Enrolment is now open for my two-day in-person Soulful Living Workshop in Calgary Alberta  inspired by the book “Women Who Run with the Wolves” by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Dates are Saturday Oct 21 and Sunday Oct 22nd.  I hope you join us!

Shifting from Rudderless to Radiant… 3 steps to Soulful Living

Shifting from Rudderless to Radiant… 3 steps to Soulful Living

by | Mar 2, 2018 | Self Care and Personal Development

There are times in my life, like right now, when I am so caught up in my day-to-day never ending to-do list, that I feel like a robot.  Get up.  Brush teeth. Get kids ready for school.  Get dressed.  Tackle daily list. Make dinner. Watch TV. Sleep.  Rinse. Repeat. And you know what is missing in there?

Living.

And not just LIVING….. SOULFUL LIVING. 

So, what does that mean exactly?  Well, when we are immersed in Soulful Living we feel more vibrant and alive.  We feel more infused with passion and purpose.  We radiate joy and inner love of self.

And IT. IS. AWESOME.

I know what you are thinking, “But LISA, I am too damn busy to do anything more! Now you’re going to tell me to go to Kundalini yoga, or go to a mountain retreat and meditate, or study a new spiritual practice. I don’t have time for all that!!!”  (begins to hyperventilate)

What if I told you that inside you you have the innate ability to live with vibrant passion and purpose, in complete alignment with your soul’s mission in this life time, fully connected to spirit or your intuition, without having to do anything drastic or cumbersome.  What would that mean to you?

Here are three things you can do TODAY to shift from rudderless to radiant:

1.  Start paying attention to your breath:  Yeah, I know, you’ve heard this all before, meditation is awesome, it can sculpt your brain into some kind of zen master in only 20 minutes a day… (though it IS awesome, AND physically DOES change your brain for the better) this is not what I am talking about, because I am not looking at adding MORE to your already busy life.  I am talking about just with intention, every once in awhile just pay attention to your breathing as it goes in and out.  And only focus on that, even for just one or two breaths.  I sometimes spend a day doing this at every single set of lights I stop at.  While I am waiting, I just shift my awareness to my breath. That’s it.  This kind of awareness, even in tiny bursts, disengages your sympathetic nervous system and takes you out of flight or flight mode and engages your parasympathetic nervous system – also known as rest and digest.  Even if you ONLY ever did THIS, it would be amazing the benefits it would bring to your life and connect you more deeply to your inner essential self.

2.  Start paying attention to your physical body in space:  This is connected to the first one, and you can easily do these at the same time, or at the very least side-by-side.  I do this one at lights too, sometimes, I suddenly shift my focus to the feeling of the steering wheel in my hands, and my butt in the seat.  I pay attention to the air in the car, is it warm or hot.  Where is my tongue resting in my mouth?  I gently straighten my back and hold that posture.  All of these things do the same as number one, takes you out of STRESS MODE and puts you in ZEN MODE.  Doing this also engages your right brain, which is connected to your sense of self and other, your connection to ALL THINGS, and creativity. These concepts will awaken passion and purpose because suddenly your inner noise mind chatter will take a back seat, and just allow this delicious feeling of peaceful contentment to flow.  This is a big part of what most people identify as SOULFUL LIVING.

3.  Pay attention to nature around you.. trees and animals:  This is also a SUPER easy one.  And I also do this while driving around in my car.  Geez, can you tell I practically LIVE in my car whilst driving kids around?  GAWD.  ANYway, when I shift my attention to the trees as I am driving by in my car, I reach out with my gratitude, and I admire their beauty in that fleet of a moment.  I notice how they are proudly standing, firmly planted, I might notice how the wind is rustling their leaves.  Or I might see a bird on my walk to my daughter’s school. and I shift my attention completely to that bird.  I imagine what it is like to see the world through its eyes, from the air, or pecking around on the ground.  I imagine truly feeling what it is like to be this incredible animal! Doing these things reminds us regularly that WE ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED to ALL LIVING THINGS on the planet.  This puts our mind into that AWE space, where we are reminded of our place in the Universe.  There is something profoundly beautiful about taking these fleeting moments throughout our day to revel in these feelings and thoughts.

Soulful living truly has the ability to change your life forever, and transform the way to relate to the world and others.  

If this has resonated with you and you would like to learn ways of working with me to help you live your life with more SOUL, I have something YOU. WILL. LOVE.  My upcoming Soulful Living Sessions 8 week online program. To find out more click here!
