If you're coming from Human First/AI Driven Summit this week or are an existing member of this community, I have a gift for you, my Hidden Patterns Quiz. The backstory is that I've been observing patterns my entire life. When I got into functional medicine practice, I noticed the physical, mental, and emotional patterns that my patients had. At first I saw them through the lens of biochemistry, physiology and nervous system regulation, but as I healed and grew myself and added the emotional and spiritual tools to my toolbox my lens expanded. I could SEE how profoundly interconnected everything was. So to help me illustrate that to my patients, I created this quiz (it started off as a static check box but is now an app). It connects the dots on how our physical, mental, emotional, and relational may be contributing to our life and current state. Your low back pain, tension in your jaw, reflux and indigestion, anxiety, indecision, not speaking up to keep the peace, and self sabotage are all related (just an example I see often😉). The quiz invites you to bring awareness what might be connected for you, if there are repeating patterns, and opens the possibility of asking what can shift if you see things from a different lens. Here is the link: Hidden Patterns Quiz Over the coming days we're going to dive into it further. I also want to ask a simple poll question: Do you fully see how everything in your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body is connected?? I'll tell you what I've observed in 20 years of working with people in the comments.

Next week I'm speaking at the Human First. AI Driven. Summit on October 5–7! This topic is near and dear to me because I believe we're at an inflection point in human history. We've got a magnificent tool in AI, but it's challenging us to ask many questions about when, where, why and how we use it. I'm in the camp of human first 100% and partner with AI as a tool to support us, but not replace who we are. My recorded talk is ✨The Freedom of Being Seen✨(especially in midlife when this might feel harder💗). We might be tempted to use AI as our voice and image because we fear showing up as ourselves and being truly visible for who we are. And I get that, because I was afraid to show the real me for years too. During the talk I'll be walking you through a tool I developed for my clients: The Hidden Patterns Quiz. It's a self-discovery tool that helps you connect what may seem unrelated. In it we'll explore three sections: Your Body, Your Inner World, and Your Life + Relationships to uncover recurring patterns that might be keeping you stuck and impacting your life, business and health. When the dots connect, you may see what has been shaping your confidence, visibility, relationships, business growth, and ability to move toward what’s next giving you a clearer place to begin. Everyone I use this tool with has lightbulb moments when they see how everything is related. This awareness is the first step to allowing yourself to become more visible so you can share your amazing gifts with the world. I hope to see you there (link)!!

Our path has moved us from Accessing Your Truth to turning over the next stone, Reveal Your Proof. If you missed the that, you can click on Stone 1: Accessing Your Truth in categories and see related posts. Once you get comfortable with looking inward at emotions, feelings, and starting to really see ourselves, the next step is to provide proof. Our brains are wired to look for evidence AND they're also wired toward a negativity bias to keep us alive. So, we tend to focus more on the negative and less on the positive. BUT we can change that! 🥳 Our beautiful brains can easily be retrained and rewired when we place our attention and energy in different areas. The midlife dip in confidence is real for so many women, but I know you've done so many hard things in your life. 💥 This is a powerful exercise in revealing your proof. 🔎🔎🔎 Sit with paper or a notebook (better if your write rather than type or voice note). Give yourself a few minutes to reflect on what you've done in your life that was hard. ANYTHING at all. Free write that list. Once you've got down everything you can think of, read it out loud. How do you feel? What emotions surfaced? Write that down. let yourself feel them and don't bypass anything. You may think of more and want to add them- that's normal. Add them. Now I want you to read this list aloud every day for a week. Notice how the feelings and emotions might change. Record this daily for a week and see what it reveals. 🤍🤍🤍 I'm going to share my list below with you. I've never shared this with anyone before so it's in the raw and vulnerable space. In no particular order: - Natural birth x2 and pulled my daughter out myself - 2 miscarriages between my kids - Still active at 51 (snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, etc.) - Long health journey with EBV (hormone issues, Epstein Barr Virus, Lyme, and Covid) - Addressing my trauma/ taking ownership and responsibility for my life - Went away to college knowing that my parents couldn't help me financially - Got divorced from college sweetheart after 6+ years because I evolved and that relationship wasn't serving me - Got remarried. - Worked through marital ups and downs - Started multiple businesses (some very successful and some not but I learned so much from the failures)  - Moved a bunch of times and started over - Asked for a raises in my consulting business because I knew my worth - Chose myself when no one else was supporting me - Forgave people who've hurt or betrayed me - Let people go that weren't good for me - Faced and integrated my shadows - Pivoted away from what was comfortable and familiar, and what I was professionally known for to dive into something completely different and authentic to me - Biggest: Faced one of my biggest fear- being honest and vulnerable w/parents
