Holy rollercoaster Batman! This week’s been up, down and all around. I’m experiencing some growing pains. Major shifts began last Aug. when I hired a life coach to begin excavating my inner diamond. I knew I wanted to become a full-time coach. In order to do that, I needed to shift from what wasn’t working in my life, to getting crystal clear about what I did want my life to look like.

Well…it’s been a hell of a ride! These “stretches” or “growing pains” have been challenging all along. But recently, I’ve been faced with a major road block. I had a vision of my higher-self (she’s the me I aspire to be) driving down a desert road and coming up to a road closed sign. As she approaches the sign, the little girl me jumps in front of the car and waves her arms frantically trying to stop her. Faced with the decision of possibly running the little girl over and plowing through the sign, or stopping, my higher-self is faced with a decision.

I paused the DVD in my mind and asked myself, “Is the little girl trying to protect me? Or is she trying to hold me back?”. Faced with the decision to move forward towards my highest good, or to retreat back down the road I’ve already traveled, I encouraged my higher-self to let the lead out. “Punch it sister”, I shouted!

The coming weeks might prove to be bumpy, but if I don’t push through my fears and attempt to slay my own dragons, I can’t be the boldest, badest-ass coach I’m meant to be. To truly help others step into the great wide open, I too have to jump in and get dirty.

What is so scary about being the biggest version of ourselves that keeps us so locked up? The roots of these lies we tell ourselves go really deep and it requires strength, love and courage to rip them out in order to clear some space to plant new words, messages, ideas, and beliefs.

I’ll keep you posted. I’ve got a strong support system as well as spirit to guide me along the way. I’m ready to move forward and continue the journey toward my highest good.

What scares you so much you’re standing still? Or chasing your tail? Or 1 step forward 2 steps back? What work are you willing to do to face it? Hire a therapist? Hire a coach? Attend a workshop? Share your “scaries” with a friend? A minister? A mentor? Write about it in a journal? Choose the scenario that fits you, and support others choices too.

Yours in dragon slaying,
Kam
