i absolutely love connecting people. i think it’s a gift i have to help link people together and i believe a lot of us have these gifts of knowing which people are supposed to meet others in our life. in the last few months, i started popping in and out of different traditional networking groups…at first i wasn’t into it (to be completely honest) it felt so stale and like wow i have to sum myself up in a boxed category in one minute of speaking? so much pressure, i could always feel the nerves of people in the group as they would pitch and just felt like this wasn’t me. but i still kept going because i would get invited and felt like there might be something to this thing. and over time, i also used it as a place to get comfortable with talking about my new business and who i am here to help. one day, it all clicked to me why the people who love being in these groups love it so damn much. it’s because it creates a beautiful ecosystem where you refer people you know with people in the group. it’s like an insider thing…for instance, i know a handyman who helps with home stuff, i know a financial advisor to help with retirement, etc and eventually someone you know needs something and now you have a referral. it kind of also reminds me of how i was able to grow my wedding photography business…i would get close to certain wedding vendors that i liked working with and they would refer me out. more connections, more $$$ it’s not always about money…it’s about building the relationships and connection with others so that everyone wins. i have been sitting on this idea for years now…of building my own version of this networking group to This Modern Collective…bridging together healers, creatives, entrepreneurs, small business owners who want to make meaningful connections AND receive energy tune ups to keep going and keeping your creative channel open. this is what i’m calling: Open Doors: a monthly gathering where we come together to have real conversation, share what we are working on and receive a monthly soundbath tune up from me.

hello, all! the other day, i was in a meeting with a potential client about her branding + showing up on social media. this conversation was really eye opening for me because it made me understand that a lot of people are probably feeling like her right now…they have talent, they know they are here to help people, they are damn good at what they do…but the clients aren’t coming in. the way they would business isn’t working the same anymore…people are not referring as much, things are changing. and then the topic of social media comes up. the dreaded sigh…”i don’t want to do social media it’s hard, i don’t understand it and i don’t want to learn” well my friend…you are in an interesting predicament because we are navigating a time in the world where we do have to put ourselves out there in the digital world. and being resistant to it is only going to keep you in the background and forgotten… this client thought that she just hates social media…but what she doesn’t realize is that there is a deep visibility wound inside that is wanting her to stay playing small. whenever we grow, it forces us to have to look at the deeper issues we are avoiding. and that can be so uncomfortable! and as business owners, creatives, entrepreneurs now being told that it’s time to show up online- it can mean holy sh*t how am i gonna do that? the overthinking begins….the fear creeps in…the doubts and anxiety start picking up. and then you do nothing. this is a huge reason of why i came up with my Visibility Course in Skool. if you go to the classroom tab and scroll down, you will see the course that contains our first digital guide toolkit to help overcome these “blocks” that are keeping you from reaching your ideal clients. I will be adding more resources to this course…but for now, enjoy the guide because the next time you take your phone out to record content, you can ready through the affirmations + guide to help you get centered and grounded before anything gets recorded. do you struggle with visibility? if so, what is keeping you from being your most authentic self online?

a new month, already! how is everyone doing? what are we moving through with our businesses and our life right now? would love for you guys to feel free to use the comments and let me know a few things: what are you needing help with right now? how are you feeling about moving into a new month and ending summer? what is one thing that excites you right now? because friends, we are in for some interesting times with the astrology! we are in the eclipse window for a solar eclipse in leo that ties back to the february 17 solar eclipse earlier this year… consider this chapter two. some things to consider with this energy: what are you building your life from? what kind of reset do i need around my identity, self expression, leadership, showing up and being seen? where have i been dimming myself to belong? where have i been creating from pressure instead of pleasure? where have i confused being seen with being validated? i’ve been having so many deep conversations with my colleagues about these themes…especially around showing up when it feels like no one is paying attention. you see, leo reminds us that visibility begins internally. before we ask the world to witness us, we have to become willing to witness ourselves. this is a powerful time to reconnect with your joy, your creative life force, your inner child, your desires, and the things that make you feel alive. and because solar eclipses are new moons on steroids, this isn’t necessarily about having all the answers right now. it’s about planting a new seed. you may feel called to: — take yourself and your desires more seriously — create without needing it to be perfect — step into leadership in a more authentic way — stop performing versions of yourself that no longer fit — let yourself be witnessed — reclaim pleasure, play, romance and creativity — choose self-expression over self-abandonment — build a life that actually feels good behind the scenes, not just one that looks good from the outside the deeper invitation:

we are existing in some interesting times and we can all feel it… body changes and upgrades, community changing, your purpose is maybe becoming more clearer, your mission is really coming to the surface now because it is go time. maybe you are done playing the mask of the old version of yourself and you are ready to be the real you- these are all themes of the full moon in aquarius energy. it’s so important to harness this energy, especially since the nodes have just changed into aquarius and leo as well. this has a big impact on how the next 16 months will go for us. the massive ego death we will all go through and at the same time, releasing those versions of ourselves that kept us playing small or hidden. it’s officially time to start taking up space! i always like to look at the houses of where aquarius and leo fall into my chart to understand what themes will be presenting themselves for this season of my life. i’m thinking if enough people want to learn, i may open up a webinar on teaching people how to access their astrology charts and start working with the energies that are coming up! leave a comment if you’d be interested in attending this educational and fun seminar. at the end of the day, we have to work with what is showing up for us whether we like it or not. astrology kind of helps us map the energy report like a weather forecast does…so it can be so helpful in planning your launches, understanding the cycles you are moving through and why people are in such funks right now. there are a lot of big changes for us in the next few days, weeks and months. are you ready?🫶🏼
