I had to get over my own programming around lack in order to build a successful design business serving a high-net-worth clientele. I’m hoping if I share my mistakes, you can learn from them now and build the business you want even more quickly than I did.
My real, practical how-to tips for making the Wim Hof method more accessible to women, and how to take your breathwork practice to the next level. Wim Hof is a lovely man, and his way of teaching is very masculine. So this share is from my feminine, my awareness of what the feminine loves, and my experience as a devoted Wim-Hof-er, with a dash of Joe Dispenza thrown in!
How I create more fun, joy, and play in my life, how I found my voice… and realizing everything we are doing, all the self-inquiry and biohacking we do, is channeled through us, each of us, alchemized, and then transmitted to those around us — through our unique, potent voices.
That time my husband and I headed to the coast well-prepared but without a plan, and fell in love with each other — and life — all over again… Recently my husband Scott and I took a trip to the coast, to escape the smoke. The air had been so bad! So, we got in the car with the intention of just going where we could breathe.
I have moments, where I have to express my grief. We might think, we may have been trained as women, not to be messy, not to deeply feel and cry. But there is power in grief. Feeling our emotions unbinds a stuck energy and this enables us to grow into a new version of ourselves. When I am in a wave of grief, my greatest fear is that I will get stuck in it and not have the energy to re-emerge. But that is why we have practices. Our practices can help us make sense of, move through, and harvest the energy of our grief.
This time of sheltering-in-place due to COVID, is a rupture. The thing about rupture is, if we can actually sit with the uncomfortable feelings that come up, what’s on the other side can be liberation. As humans, especially in Western culture, we get addicted to certainty. Have you noticed? We don’t like it when things change. Especially if the change is seemingly bad.
I like to imagine that we all have a Divine Hustler inside of us. I think it’s safe to say we all experience the daily struggle in varying degrees. And it’s likely most of us at one time or another have had the experience of being in what I call the Divine Hustle, of being so inspired and empowered, that everything — from your perception of what is happening, to the outcomes that you desire — is available.
Want more Divine Hustler wisdom, at your leisure, and in a longer format? I am delighted to announce that I’ve started a podcast! You can find me on Spotify: Talking about myself and my work in Episode 1 AND Talking with one of my influential mentors Anna Scott, in Episode 2
When the idea for Divine Hustler started to form inside of me, I didn’t really know what it was going to become. I knew I felt called… that I had hard-earned wisdom to share. That Divine Hustler was inside of me, and others, and we all need to wake up, bring her out. Basically, I’m a wannabe-preacher’s daughter. All my dad ever wanted was to be a preacher. He wanted it so much he forced us, his six children, to be his congregation; and he would hold church on Sundays in our living room, and require us to do bible studies.
In my workout at the Dailey Method the other morning, I was thinking about sisterhood. Mama Gena talks a lot about the power we have when we lift each other up. For me, as a survivor of domestic violence, trust was not my first thought when it came to connecting with others. Over the years, I have worked to shift this, and it has shifted dramatically. What Mama Gena helped me recognize was how the separation that was my automatic response is not only typical of survivors of trauma, it’s also embedded in the culture.
