I saw a lot of posts last week about the importance of awareness, and they bother me. Many of those posts say something like, âOnce you have awareness, you could work on themâ. And that could be interpreted as trying harder, do something about it, change it. I donât have a problem with awareness. Thatâs definitely the first step. But Iâve worked with many clients who are stuck and unable to get out by themselves. Many, like me, have worked with therapists and still unable to break free. And I hear them say âWhatâs wrong with me? I know the problem. I know what I need to do. But in spite of it all I canât stop.â It makes them feel worse! Because with many, itâs not a conscious âdo somethingâ problem. Itâs a subconscious block that is in the way. Hereâs what I mean:
With all of them, it was an unconscious block that held them back. They were very aware of whatâs wrong. But âtrying harderâ hasnât gotten any results. Thatâs why I deal with the block energetically through Release! and we resolve the issue in one session. We test the resistance afterwards and the change continues to get deeper in the days to come. It's that easy. It doesn't have to be hard to deal with. Nor does it have to take a long time. Itâs the same when youâre building a business: You need to reach out, to become more visible, to talk about yourself and your services more, to charge more, to invite your ideal clients to work with you. But you feel awkward instead of excited. You feel like an impostor instead of empowered. You lean back instead of leaning in. Or worse, you freeze. You put out posts and no one reacts. You talk to prospects and they don't call back. You're not attracting the clients you want. Do you see why itâs not a âdo something" problem anymore, itâs energetic. Itâs the uncomfortable feelings that bubble up when you even think of what you need to do. Itâs the patterns of self sabotage that comes up when youâre close to succeeding. Itâs the voices in your head feeding your self-doubt. Are you tired of trying? Donât give up. Maybe itâs not about trying more but about letting go of these blocks. I'm here to support you. đ Michelle Live your best life! |

There is a better way of making things happen in life! You don't have to struggle like everyone else. I remember several years ago, we had two properties, two mortgages, and I was making a choice between finding another contract position or going full time for a lot of pay. I couldn't decide because the full time work was secure but the taxes would be about double since I couldn't expense things anymore. On the other hand, that was the time when companies were scaling down from their hiring...
I want to share something that might make a difference for you... All my life I've been focused on my outer game: acquiring new skills, strategically planning my moves and actions, listing out pros and cons of certain choices. But these last few years have taught me the importance of also working on my inner game: addressing the root cause of my fears, figuring out my patterns, bringing my limiting beliefs to light and making decisions to choose differently in alignment with my desires....
When I started my business, I thought to myself "How hard could it be? I've already been doing this work for years, I'm just doing it for myself instead of as an employee." And how wrong I was! When I looked at the beginning of my career, I see now that I wasn't alone. The whole class of 92 was looking for jobs together. We were sharing leads and tips. We were all experiencing disappointments and getting back up again. I didn't feel behind. When I started in a new company, I had a boss who...
