There is always a path to your Future Self. Sometimes we’re not ready. So we stop doing the work. We stop being honest with ourselves. We force. We hide. We keep from getting the help we need. Once you’ve opened the portal to your Future Self that denial to become her causes upheaval and it’s not fun. It can also feel like that upheaval takes us further from our Future Self.  And the one thing I know for sure is that there is always a path to your Future Self. When you don’t take the first one she set out for you, you might have to travel through the dark and lonely woods, but on the other side will be a new path.  There isn’t only one path to your Future Self. And she will always lay a new path for you when you’re ready. While in moments Kate denied her Future Self by not stepping into her, her Future Self always had her back.  When Kate didn’t step through one door, her Future Self would show her another option.  In Kate’s case it was a job that supported her while she transitioned more into her Future Self

In general, I have always been the most committed person to growing and creating that I have known.  I would meet friends and other entrepreneur’s and I would get excited because I was like “We can do this together,” and then they wouldn’t want to go as fast as I did or they’d get bogged down by their stories. Very often I found myself alone on my journey.  That was one of the things Kate was most afraid of last year. So, she did what humans often do, and pushed against it. She tried to hold on really tight. She tried to control it so that all her people would grow with her. The problem was, they weren’t ready.  It happens. And I believe it’s a good thing. It’s a good thing for us to learn that we can grow on our own. We can let go of what was and open to creating something better. I get it, when there’s something good you don’t want to let it go and it can be hard to imagine there is something better. I’ve been there. What I learned is that when I let go of needing someone to come with me, I could create fas

At the time of this interview, things were good for Kate. She had brought in $918 dollars in the previous few days, bringing her total to $148,747.02. Prior to that Kate’s business had stalled. She has been trying to stuff down her Future Self. Putting her in a closet and telling her to be quiet. The problem is you can’t do that once you’ve started the journey to becoming your Future Self.  Last April, Kate stepped into her Future Self big time when she participated in the Future Self event at the Paradise Valley Castle. She left there more of her Future Self, yet she was still trying to be her current self.  When she left the Paradise Valley Castle, she forgot her jean jacket. It’s the jean jacket she wore in her $10K photo shoot. It used to be her favorite. When she didn’t have it, she had to get a new one, one that was more her Future Self. And she wore the new one, a lot.  Whenever she put on that jacket it activated her Future Self feelings; confident, sexy and classy. She was constantly activating her F

Resistance is a part of the process.  Here is the Google definition: the refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument. In growth, resistance naturally happens when who you are bumps up against who you are becoming. It happens because while you want everything your Future Self has, you are also scared of what that means she does not have.  Because you don’t get to know every detail or what is going to change and evolve as you become your Future Self. Often, this causes resistance. Which can be a refusal to comply with things your Future Self does. Or strong actions of holding on to the things you are most afraid to lose. A refusal is resistance. And it can look like: Not telling your coach things Holding tightly to things you sense you might lose Withdrawing Pretending everything is fine Not asking for help Not sharing the truth of what you are feeling Justifying not doing the “work” These are all things that Kate did. Maybe you recognize that you have do

If you’ve listened to the podcast, you’ve heard of my friend Elle Russ. She’s an amazing author, speaker and host of the Primal Blueprint show. In the Paleo world she is a very big deal.  She’s been on stage at events like Paleo FX and my client Kate was a huge fan girl of her’s. (She’s still a fan, and now they are friends who laugh about randomly showing up in my pool) I knew Kate was a fan and I could have introduced Kate to Elle and maybe gotten her an interview on Primal Blueprint.  And I didn’t. Because it didn’t feel inspired. I knew Kate was growing into her Future Self who is of course friends with Elle.  Because of that I choose to allow it to happen naturally.  So often people want to be connected to this person or that person, or get someone specific on their podcast and they think that is going to help them (that wasn’t what Kate thought) but it’s who YOU are that matters.  You can meet someone before you’ve grown into your Future Self and the relationship goes nowhere because it’s all about who

That is what happened for Kate recently.  Her and her significant other have looked on and off for a new house for a few years and when they would find something they liked, it would be gone by the time they found it. Not this time! Through a series of inspired events, they found the perfect house and are moving in shortly. Everything about the process has been easy.  Why has it been so easy? Because Kate is being more of her Future Self everyday. When you step into your Future Self the other stuff, like the house that has features of your Future Life, has to show up. It’s the way it works. And that is exactly what happened for Kate.  Kate Cretsinger is the Founder and Owner of K8 4 Wellness. She is the mother of 2 beautiful young adults. She graduated from University of New England with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science, and became certified as a Nutrition Coach by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2015 to overcome her own health complications. She has over 15 years of experience in t

There are lots of ways to influence change and growth in yourself. A big way that doesn’t often get taught and gets overlooked a lot is other people’s stories. What I mean by other people’s stories is hearing about positive changes in someone else’s life. Story changes our brain without you really knowing and without any of the fear responses that your brain can sometimes come up with when you try to change. It’s likely because stories are the way our ancestors passed down lessons to the next generation.  You’re able to make connections and open up to new possibilities in a different way when you are hearing about someone else doing it. It’s why I use stories to support my clients' growth.  It’s also why I started interviewing my clients and sharing their stories with you. Hearing someone else’s story about creating a better life helps you to naturally and easily start writing that story for yourself.  Today’s coaching is to listen to this interview with Kate. Listen to her talk about how she’s catching more

The answer is not usually.  When I talk about getting in touch with your Future Self and letting her lead you to the Future Life you’ve been dreaming of, many people think that means she’s going to lead you straight from point A, now to point B, the life you want to manifest.  It doesn’t work that  way and here’s why… You need practice being your Future Self You need to experience certain things in order to become your Future Self  You need to learn some lessons in order to be able to understand her more clearly Your Future Self leads you to the opportunities for all these things AND gives you the most Future Life experiences she can along the way. Have you ever had an opportunity in your life show up and it felt a lot like your Future Self, but when you started analyzing it seemed like it might be taking away from your Future Self? If you have you definitely want to listen to this interview with Vicki. Vicki Pace is originally from upstate NY as well as NYC and now lives in sunny Denver, CO! She is a full

Manifesting money is the start of changing your money story. We live in a focus driven Universe which means you get more of what you focus on. Focus on more money, you’ll attract more money. But what is happening when it feels like that more money is slipping through your fingers? Your money story.  In general, most people manifest money quicker than they change their money story.  Why? Because as soon as you shift your focus toward money, it starts showing up. However, the story that you’ve been living for years, doesn’t just disappear.  And if your money story was Survival, this is especially true.  Because people with the money story Survival tend to “hot potato” money. That’s the phrase I use when you get rid of money as fast as it comes in. Until you start living a story other than survival, you have to do that.  Because it’s what keeps your story true. It’s not that people with the money story survival want to do that, it’s simply that their brain feels safe that way because that is the way it’s been li

If you’re reading this at some point, you’ve had a list of the things you want in your life. It might be more money, more freedom, a new car or a new house or a whole list of other things.  You likely found your way to my world because you wanted help getting what you want. But do you always get to choose what you get? My answer is, no. When you start working with your Future Self, sometimes you get what you need, which can often be the opposite of what you want.  For example, Vicki really wanted a part in the show we talk about during this interview. She did not get that part and what her Future Self gave her instead was the opportunity to BECOME more of her Future Self so that she can attract more parts in the future. This happened by not getting a main part, which gave Vicki the opportunity to sit and watch most of the show. By doing this she has become a better actor, director and teacher. At first, she did not see the opportunity. It didn’t feel good not to get the part she wanted and we worked through t

What do YOU do when “it’s” not working out like you want it to? Do you… Try and figure it out? Get pissed and decide you’re not supposed to have a great life? Feel frustrated and throw your hands in the air? Get really upset, because it never works out for you? What if instead, you asked yourself, “What do I want it to feel like?” That is the question I asked Vicki 3-5 months before this interview.  We were talking about her summer. All these things seemed like they were lining up and they fell apart. She was upset, frustrated, confused and didn’t know what to do.  When she  came to a coaching call I asked her, “What’s the best thing that could happen?”  She answered, “Working with kids during the day and performing in my own show at night.”  That is exactly what happened for Vicki! Listen to hear all about how it’s possible to create magical experiences even when it feels like it’s not working out. Vicki Pace is originally from upstate NY as well as NYC and now lives in sunny CO! She is a full time prosper

What do you do when it feels like it’s not working? Read another book Add in more affirmations Start visualizing Write an even clearer list of what you want Listen to every law of attraction audio book Figure out a new mantra Try to fix all your limiting beliefs So many people do this and yet I have rarely seen it work.  The reason is because the more you do, the more you’re telling yourself it’s not working. So it doesn’t. Then you do more.  What if you could really just do a little “manifesting” and experience bigger results? Listen to this interview to hear proof, doing less can create more. In the interview Vicki and I discuss how she only invests 20 minutes/day in manifesting and is experiencing bigger results than ever before.  We also discuss how she is working less and making more money than before. It can be easier. Listen to this interview to open your brain up to the possibility. Vicki Pace is originally from upstate NY as well as NYC and now lives in sunny Denver, CO!

Have you ever wondered, “How can I create what I want, when I’m surrounded by people who don’t believe or use The Law of Attraction?” What if I told you, you could get them to believe without even talking to them about it? The key is for you to believe it, plus own it. I love how Vicki demonstrates this in the way she’s come to live her life.  In this interview we talk about how every one of the servers where she works believes she makes the most money. They believe it so much, that they believe they are going to make the most money when they are partnered with her.  They even tell new servers when they get paired with her that they will make lots of money. Isn’t that awesome? It’s also awesome that she has never sat down and given them an LOA lesson or told them that she was going to become the person who made the most money. She simply shows up, tells the story she wants to be true, let’s everyone else think whatever they want and then counts the biggest pile of money at the end of the night.  Rather than f

Google gives this definition of the word trust, as a verb: “Firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of.” Trust is a word that comes up a lot when you are using the Law of Attraction. Equally as much comes, but how? Trust is a learned process. It comes from practicing over and over.  And it all starts with starting.  Doing something (or not doing something), and trusting in… The reliability that things work out for you, when you don’t understand how. The truth that there are possibilities beyond what you can see in any given moment, especially when things don’t seem good. Your ability. The strength of your character, abilities, and instincts. When you practice trust, you build your trust muscle.  Trusting a little, leads to trusting more. Then a lot more.  And it’s something you just have to start doing in order to do more of it. For evidence it’s possible to build a bigger and bigger trust muscle, listen to this interview with Vicki. You’ll hear how have a strong trust muscle is:  Allowin

The story you tell today, is the life you will live tomorrow.  Do you exercise good story telling? Do you know what that means? Good storytelling, when we’re talking about deliberate creation, means telling the best possible version of the story plus determining the outcome you’d like.  Vicki, who you can hear here, actively exercises good story telling. She is becoming a master at telling good stories on a moment to moment basis. Exercising good storytelling helps Vicki: Make more money money Have more fun And become a better actor Listen to this interview to hear how much better of a story teller Vicki has become as she has been practicing for almost a year (at the time of this interview). Vicki Pace is originally from upstate NY as well as NYC and now lives in sunny Denver, CO! She is a full time prospering actor in the local and professional theaters of Colorado. She also loves directing and coaching kids in theater! Resources Change Your Money Story Book Manifest $10,000 book Double Your Business boo

Wanting and deserving are two different things. If you’re using the Law of Attraction, there are probably a lot of things you want. Deep down do you feel like you deserve them? Feeling worthy of the experiences you desire has a big impact on whether or not you get those experiences.  Paulie has wanted her “role of a lifetime” for a long time. When she started The Enchanted Circle two years ago, she was doing everything she could imagine to make that role happen. She had to set down her manifesting to-do list and start feeling the feelings now. She tapped into the experience and has lived it through scripting.  Now her role of a lifetime is happening and she feels completely deserving of it. She wakes up each day knowing she’s going to have a great day. The unknown now feels exciting because she expects good things to happen.  It wasn’t always like this for Paulie. Two years ago she woke up hoping nothing bad would happen. In this interview she says she feels like she’s grown more in two years than her whole l

Do you dream of taking an amazing trip? Or closing up shop to write a novel. Maybe you’ve always wanted to go off grid. But what stops you is the fear you’ll miss out, or your business won’t survive, your boss won’t understand, all the momentum that you’ve built will go away.  I get it. When I was 19 and in my first business, the leader said, “You have to put everything on hold if you’re committed to your success here.”  AND I believed him. Of course I believed him. I WANTED to succeed so bad.  I almost didn’t go on a cruise with my family, which was one of my favorite all time vacations.  All because I bought into some lie that you have to sacrifice everything you want to do, in order to get what you want.  Thank goodness I know better now. Not only do I know better but I get to also coach my clients to trust when it comes to doing what they want.  When you listen to this interview with Paulie, you’ll hear how she’s getting ready to go on a 2 month long trip and everything is working out. And you’ll hear in

How many times have you heard something like, If you want it, you have to take action You have to follow up right away or they’ll think you’re flaky Do it now or you’ll lose the opportunity So many of my clients have too. It’s because these are the “rules” we’re taught to follow if we want to succeed.  But what if those rules are all wrong? What if you need to integrate the opportunity fully before responding so that you are aligned? What if you don’t have to force what you want by taking constant action? What if taking inspired action leads to easier and bigger success? What if following up when it feels right, actually lines everything up perfectly? Listen to this interview to hear how Paulie is learning to “trust the hesitation”, which means she’s learned to NOT take action when it doesn’t feel good. And it’s leading to getting more of what she wants. This is especially important when you, like Paulie, have something you really want and it starts happening. Often the hesitation is integration and allow

Left or right, no, but it makes all the difference if you wake up on the right side of the bed rather than the wrong side.  You know the saying, “I woke up on the wrong side of the bed,” which means that something starts off wrong and then it keeps going wrong. More and more things keep adding to a crappy day. What’s interesting about this saying is that it implies there is no choice, and yet there is always a choice. When you wake up, you get to choose whether you wake up on the right side of the bed and everything is going to be great, or magical like Paulie discusses in this interview, or bad.  It’s all up to you! Paulie and I discuss this in this interview. We talk about what happens when you’re held accountable for always waking up on the right side of the bed and stepping into a day with amazing and magical opportunities. The truth is those opportunities are always there. It’s just whether you put on the magical ones because you got up on the right side of the bed or the crappy ones because you got up o

You would never expect to plant a seed yesterday and have it grow today. You know it takes time for a seed to grow. It takes light, water and nutrients for the seed to start to grow and it takes more of all that for it to get bigger and bigger. And it comes to manifesting your dreams, you plant what you think are magic beans and expect to wake up with a giant beanstalk.  The seeds of manifesting take time to grow. They also need to be cared for and nurtured in order to grow. During this interview Lainie and reflect back on how seeds that were planted years are sprouting and growing.  We also talk about how sometimes those things you want happen later rather than sooner so you are the person who can take full advantage of them.  Listen to this interview and then think of three ways you can nurture your intention rather than wanting it to happen faster.
