Speaker: Welcome to Elixir Radio, a podcast brought to you by Elixir Media Co.
Speaker: I'm your host, Tanya Jane, and I'm so excited to journey with you on this beautiful exploration of creativity, self-expression, business strategy, and what it truly takes to embody and revolutionize your entire brand, business, and life.
Speaker: This is a podcast for the revolutionary, heart-led, Aquarian-age leader ready to rise, elevate, dismantle, disrupt, and lead with their edge.
Speaker: Honor their unique self-led brand and soul lessons.
Speaker: It is my God-given purpose to help you share your story in a way that honors your soul and elevate your growth, to empower you to deepen your relationship with self so you can show up powerfully in all aspects of your life, and guide you to your fiercest self-expression so you never have to dim your voice or light again for anyone.
Speaker: This podcast will help you follow your fire.
Speaker: You know, that thing you can't stop thinking about.
Speaker: The thing that lights you up, that you wake up at at 3am every night and chase your big, hairy, scary, and audacious dreams so you can make them a reality instead of playing small.
Speaker: Saddle up, wild one.
Speaker: It's time to come home to yourself and share your story with others who need your medicine.
Speaker: Your life has multiple layers to it and so do you.
Speaker: It's time to express all of who you are, however you desire.
Speaker: My motto has always been, bring the soul back into social media and show up online and in real life as you are, unapologetic, activated, and bold.
Speaker: Are you ready to fly?
Speaker: Let's go.
Speaker: Alright, we're officially live.
Speaker: I was gathering up some courage before I pushed the live button.
Speaker: those of you who've known me or who knew the old brand i would do life and business updates frequently this was like two years ago so it feels like a whole lifetime ago but welcome welcome to this beautiful space welcome to my side of the internet interwebs and many of you are here that have followed my journey from before i started a business this account
Speaker: Initially used to be my personal account, which then transitioned into more of a blogging account.
Speaker: And then it transitioned into a business account of sorts.
Speaker: You guys have seen my brand evolution and my evolution, quite frankly, over the last...
Speaker: five years.
Speaker: What started out as just me then became the Holistic Warrior Life and then it became Warrior Life Creative Co.
Speaker: I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually very, for someone that can speak in a room full of people and feel no qualms about it, going live on the internet legit still scares the bejesus out of me.
Speaker: So just wanted to share that here because we're all human.
Speaker: Anyway,
Speaker: Yeah, this turned into Warrior Life Creative Co.
Speaker: And at some point last year, it changed into Elixir Media Co.
Speaker: And many people asked me, why the change?
Speaker: What happened?
Speaker: What happened to the old brand?
Speaker: And I'm not going to get into all of those things on here.
Speaker: publicly but what I will share is this and if you want to know more just go listen to episode one of the podcast but long story short like we evolve and as we evolve we outgrow people places things situations like we outgrow our own behaviors and habits and for me last year and the dismantling of my brand or the business that I literally spent three years building and pouring into
Speaker: that dismantling happened for me to move me towards greater alignment and it was a dismantling of all the misalignment that i was living in all of the people pleasing the lack of boundaries the lack of
Speaker: no time like literally no time for life and so the entire year as the old kept falling apart as the walls kept crumbling down or as the veil kept getting torn i was literally seeing before my site new foundations being built new business a new business a new identity a new
Speaker: anointment being formed and i just i didn't know how to move through it and i still continued to stay small and i stayed small until june toward the end of june it was summer solstice and i remember i was at a client retreat and i share this on my podcast but i will share for context here and this could be a trigger warning so just warning you in case i had some really
Speaker: intrusive self-destructive thoughts for myself and i was i didn't i had no idea how deep of a depression i was actually in until i got to that breaking point last year and it was on that i was on my dear client's retreat and it was literally her and seven or eight other women like mothering the hell out of me like i lost my voice for six weeks i temporarily had lost hearing it wasn't covered by the way it was a sinus infection but
Speaker: My acupuncture lady and my massage therapist, she's a TCM practitioner, she asked me, how much grief are you holding on to?
Speaker: Because my lungs literally had, I couldn't cough.
Speaker: It hurt.
Speaker: It hurt to breathe.
Speaker: It hurt to eat anything.
Speaker: I think I lost 23 pounds in those six weeks.
Speaker: just by being just grieving and shedding the old identity, the energetics, but on a somatic level, it's, it looked like a sinus infection and it looked like everything just getting clear.
Speaker: And I remember on day four or five, a feeling like I'm just going to exit this plane.
Speaker: Like I don't want to be here anymore.
Speaker: I'm very methodically just going to
Speaker: walk away.
Speaker: Like, I'm done.
Speaker: I don't want the business.
Speaker: I don't want anything.
Speaker: I think everyone's just better off without me, etc, etc.
Speaker: Like, my brain was very meticulously planning on not being here in its very literal form.
Speaker: That is as...
Speaker: That, like, it is literally as delicately as I can put it.
Speaker: I had sent my closest people, like, cryptic texts, but like those who know me, like, especially my dear friend Jen, like she could read in between the lines and she showed up at my doorstep the very next day and she was like, you're not supposed to go.
Speaker: You're not supposed to end your life.
Speaker: You're supposed to be here.
Speaker: Use this pain, use this fire, use this as fuel for your next evolution.
Speaker: And so I found myself at that point in time living moment by moment, day by day.
Speaker: Can I go on in this moment?
Speaker: Can I go on in this hour?
Speaker: Can I make it through this day?
Speaker: Can I make it through this week?
Speaker: And, you know, reflecting back, I feel like that's been my entrepreneurial journey, but especially last year when there was so much happening in business and personally.
Speaker: The word elixir came to me on day four or five.
Speaker: On day four or five when I was still really sick, like no voice, barely any hearing, and it just, I was in pain.
Speaker: It was like, it just felt shitty.
Speaker: I was like, God, I'll give anything back for my health again.
Speaker: And I woke up in the middle of the night.
Speaker: I don't remember what time it was, but in the middle of the night, I heard this voice just saying elixir.
Speaker: And I'm like, what?
Speaker: I'm not crazy.
Speaker: I know I'm on a lot of meds, but I kept hearing this voice.
Speaker: I heard it again.
Speaker: Elixir.
Speaker: I'm like, okay.
Speaker: I'm just going to follow the nudge.
Speaker: And I got up from my bed.
Speaker: I went toward my, I still keep all of my old journals, journals that I've written poetry in and different things.
Speaker: Like I've always written my whole life.
Speaker: Writing is how I used, what I used to cope and then to also express.
Speaker: And then I help other people express.
Speaker: So I went through my journals and I saw the word
Speaker: elixir on there.
Speaker: Just the literal word elixir.
Speaker: And when I looked at the meaning and elixirs actually aren't supposed to taste good.
Speaker: They're magical, sure, and they have healing properties, but the healing often doesn't taste good.
Speaker: The healing, actually, it tastes horrible.
Speaker: It's like Buckley's.
Speaker: It works, but it's horrible.
Speaker: And so I then started to sit there, like in the middle of the freaking night, making this play on words in my brain, because I love a play on words, and I'm like, elixir.
Speaker: Like, we know who we are.
Speaker: We know what we stand for.
Speaker: We know what we came here to do.
Speaker: We know what God called us to do.
Speaker: And we know who we are deep within.
Speaker: And yet we're looking outside of ourselves.
Speaker: And in that moment, it hit me and I was like, this is the evolution.
Speaker: Like Warrior Life Creative as the company needed to die away because that was the company that was built in so much strife, so much anger, so much struggle, so much little girl energy of proving to the man that
Speaker: I'm going to stick it to you, corporate.
Speaker: I'm going to stick it to whoever you want to list that.
Speaker: It was such an energy of hustle and struggle and striving.
Speaker: And don't get me wrong, there's a time and place for the hustle and striving.
Speaker: And it worked to an extent until it no longer worked, until it no longer was sustainable.
Speaker: Literally, it wasn't physically, mentally, emotionally.
Speaker: sustainable.
Speaker: And you could chalk these up to business lessons and like a passage of entrepreneurship that I feel like every entrepreneur goes through.
Speaker: But
Speaker: The moment the word, I realized what Elixir was going to be, I let my then VA know, I'm like, hey, can you just white out the entire feed?
Speaker: I need the entire feed blank and I need you to block out this handle, change the handle.
Speaker: Like we're done, we're starting clean.
Speaker: Yeah, and that was Elixir.
Speaker: And if you go to read the motto of Elixir, I realized I wanted to build what I desperately needed, what so many of us entrepreneurs desperately need,
Speaker: I wanted to build a company where we are living nourished.
Speaker: We're not living in hustle culture.
Speaker: It doesn't mean things don't get done, but we are not living in this urgency that is so perceived.
Speaker: We're not living in response mode 24 seven.
Speaker: Like it's almost, I think of it almost as crisis mode.
Speaker: I think of response mode as crisis mode.
Speaker: We are not living in reaction and response mode all the time.
Speaker: We are living in a very grounded, anchored,
Speaker: strategic, creative, and loose structured mode where you get to be who you are fully without panicking and scrambling.
Speaker: So that's a little bit about how Elixir came to be.
Speaker: I'm not going to drone on about the motto and who we are.
Speaker: Like you could literally go to my feed and read the three pin posts.
Speaker: It's there.
Speaker: But that was the start of Elixir.
Speaker: 2022, the latter part of it, the latter half of it truly just
Speaker: shaped up to be me continuing to release more and more layers, releasing more and more things off my plate, releasing the need to be all the things, do all the things like we don't need that.
Speaker: And that's a programming that has been so ingrained in us.
Speaker: And releasing all of those old templates, it led me like by the time my nervous system calmed down, it was December.
Speaker: And for the first time in December during Christmas, I actually took
Speaker: time off during the Christmas break to just be.
Speaker: Like I was not responding to anything.
Speaker: I was off.
Speaker: Like I'd let my clients know I'm taking Christmas off.
Speaker: Like we're taking the holidays off.
Speaker: And then I eased myself into work in January.
Speaker: And of course in January, newer doors started to open.
Speaker: Newer opportunities started to open.
Speaker: Okay, the team is on here.
Speaker: Colleen, hello.
Speaker: I'm so excited.
Speaker: Hi, Lo.
Speaker: Yeah, newer opportunities started to open.
Speaker: Many of you, if you followed me on my personal brand, like Tanya Jane, and I think I've been sharing a bit more of the deeper journey that I've been on this quarter on there, speaking a little bit more openly about it.
Speaker: I was pregnant and now I'm not.
Speaker: That's all I'll say about that.
Speaker: But what that journey taught me in Q1, the moment I discovered I was pregnant, I was like, holy shit, I cannot keep running around and doing all the things.
Speaker: Now I need to actually call on my team.
Speaker: Now I need to start implementing things more, things that I've been wanting to do, but I never did before.
Speaker: And as God would have it, and he always has our back, as God would have it, he continued to direct us.
Speaker: the most aligned people my way and he continued to direct me toward them and them toward me and we have this beautiful collective and creative that has been formed over this last quarter ironically doors that were shut in a way for the last year or two and it's not that those doors were ever shut it is that
Speaker: we shut those doors on ourselves because we are so scared to step into our purpose, into our bigness.
Speaker: Those were the doors that got opened this quarter and over the last two months.
Speaker: And one of them was the day that I found out that I'm going to, I found out that I'm going to
Speaker: miscarry quite frankly at the end of feb and i can talk about it now openly because i have moved through it and this is to also share with anyone that is experiencing that or has experienced it like you're not alone and it is by talking about these things that we
Speaker: that we remove the stigma from them.
Speaker: And that's a whole different tangent, but what I will say on that note is this.
Speaker: I feel like society sometimes thinks that just because you're a mom, that you won't be able to function as well in your corporate jobs or in your business just because you're pregnant, that you won't be able to show up fully in your business or your brand or whatever it is, or that just because you're going through
Speaker: a loss and whatever that loss might be whether it's a miscarriage or the loss of a partnership or whatever that you won't be able to show up fully and to an extent that might be true that you need time to grieve but i deeply believe that
Speaker: It is these losses and it is these aspects of our identity that make us who we are, that strengthen us and that empower us to show up actually as better leaders, as better people, as better humans, better entrepreneurs.
Speaker: Or, you know, what are corporate professionals if you work in corporate.
Speaker: And so for me, a lot of my old stories were coming up to play these last four months.
Speaker: I was wondering, can I handle this?
Speaker: Can I still go through with this?
Speaker: By this, I'm referring to the business.
Speaker: And they're my own stories too.
Speaker: So I realized what needed to be healed and I realized what I needed to walk through.
Speaker: And ironically, the day that I found out that I was miscarrying my pregnancy and as much as that was a shock and it was really hard
Speaker: And words will never ever do this any justice.
Speaker: That was the same day that I won a call with a dream mentor that, you know, whose books I've read and I was in their branding workshop and thousands of people had applied to win this call.
Speaker: And I was one of the few that got selected.
Speaker: They walked me through my entire brand hologram and I often refer to them like Jessica Zweig, Nora Shepard, Simply Be Agency, like their book on branding, go get it if you haven't, side plug.
Speaker: But I digress.
Speaker: In that same hour, and this is to highlight that duality exists in each moment, in the same hour that I was so excited because I had a different plan for how this year would go through.
Speaker: I had a different plan for exactly how I wanted to roll things out and all the things that we would do.
Speaker: With everything in mind, at the end of that same call was I received the call that broke my heart.
Speaker: And I had to sit with that and I had to sit with it and just process it.
Speaker: That whole weekend, the last weekend of Feb, I literally just had to process it and I had to take time off and I was so radically candid with my current clients that this is what happened.
Speaker: This is what I'm moving through.
Speaker: I just needed to share this with you and then now I can try and get back into work mode for a little bit.
Speaker: And I did that as I was grieving and I continued to take time off.
Speaker: But I'll never forget this feeling of sitting
Speaker: on the floor, quite frankly, on the floor of my washroom, working and moving through that event in my life.
Speaker: And I could feel the anger in me swirling.
Speaker: And it wasn't anger toward anything or anyone.
Speaker: For those of you who don't know, I'm a 4'6 manifester in human design.
Speaker: So for me, whenever I feel anger,
Speaker: deep sacred rage, it's, it's highlighting to me that there's some there's misalignment that needs to be shifted.
Speaker: And it could be a misalignment in me, it could be a misalignment in my life, my schedule, my way of being whatever.
Speaker: And so I was feeling this deep seated anger.
Speaker: And I'm like, hold on,
Speaker: I should be able to take time off right now.
Speaker: I don't need to be on.
Speaker: What the hell am I doing?
Speaker: And that in and of itself is what started and it helped, it initiated me and birthed me into a whole different iteration.
Speaker: I would say that it led me
Speaker: deeper and closer to God.
Speaker: I've always been close to God.
Speaker: I've always talked about him in my stories.
Speaker: I've always shared things in my stories, but I never quite brought my voice to it.
Speaker: And I never spoke about it openly until that time.
Speaker: And truthfully, that loss is what awakened me and brought me closer to him on a different level completely.
Speaker: And I knew that this is the next evolution of the business.
Speaker: Like it's time to no longer stay small, no longer stay hiding, no longer continuously...
Speaker: be stuck in the weeds, it's actually time to go out there, to make a difference, to create the impact, and to do it with a group of people that are just as renegade, maverick, misfit, visionary, obsessed about these things as you are.
Speaker: So yeah, like that's been the journey.
Speaker: The last two months, if you have, if you've been following the journey with the content and with what's coming through, you would have seen there was a new movement that is being birthed, has been birthed.
Speaker: God led the movement.
Speaker: And it literally, again, was a play on words because in my lowest of low times, that is what I kept repeating to myself.
Speaker: God lead the way.
Speaker: God, show me.
Speaker: Show me where I'm supposed to go.
Speaker: Show me what I'm supposed to do.
Speaker: And literally every single time I was held, we were held, we were supported, right?
Speaker: But God led the movement is a...
Speaker: newer brand that came out of this right it led me to my soul teammates truly and what I really want to talk about I need to look at my notes here before I start going on a tangent what I wanted to talk about and this is a little bit like this is going to be a little bit of a riff on the industry and it's not really the industry truly like there's a world out there that's bigger than this online space but really like when you think of
Speaker: When you look at the online business industry or the online coaching industry, like it is an ecosystem in and of itself.
Speaker: And there's different service providers, coaches, mentors, like it's its own little world.
Speaker: The realizations that continuously bubbled up for me, not just in these two months, but
Speaker: in the last few years of being a business owner, working behind the scenes with so many companies and business owners and brands.
Speaker: And then also my corporate journey and my journey back in university and even when I was a child was I found myself very quickly in
Speaker: places and positions that I had no business being.
Speaker: I found myself observing the leadership in the room.
Speaker: I found myself in positions of leadership where people would come and confide and tell me things because they felt safe enough to do.
Speaker: And the golden thread and the commonality toward all of this was company culture, the tonality, the leadership culture at each place.
Speaker: And this was, this is the
Speaker: This is literally the distortion that I've been seeing before 2022.
Speaker: I couldn't take it any longer.
Speaker: And so when things fell apart in 2022, like they happened for me, like it was a massive wake up call of enough.
Speaker: We need to bring the human back into business and you can't be working in places where this isn't respected or regarded.
Speaker: And this isn't just for me.
Speaker: This is a public service announcement.
Speaker: Like,
Speaker: check on your team, okay, check on their mental health.
Speaker: You create the company culture because you are the leader of your brand, not your team, not your OBM, not your creative director, like you as the CEO, are the leader.
Speaker: There's way too many people that have the letters CEO or founder or whatever, that's a part of our title, but there's way too many of us not living that up.
Speaker: And
Speaker: I've been guilty of that too at some point.
Speaker: We don't want to take ownership for what's truly ours.
Speaker: We project that shit onto our teams.
Speaker: We project that shit onto our clients or like whatever.
Speaker: And then we project, we take on people's projections.
Speaker: Like my biggest light bulb moment through all of this was you don't have to stay where you are.
Speaker: You get to actually carve out
Speaker: a brand and business that is deeply aligned with your values, deeply aligned with who you are as a leader, as an entrepreneur, as a creative, because that is who I am.
Speaker: And I feel like for some reason, and I said this, if you sign up for this class, which I'm teaching next month, it's free.
Speaker: And it's not even a class.
Speaker: It's actually a very open conversation called God-Led Business.
Speaker: It literally is about these things.
Speaker: It's about
Speaker: like where is your dei where is your creativity where is your innovation where is your leadership what is your company culture how do you treat your people there's so much more that i can unleash on this but i'm going to temper my fire for now it is time for the stench of superiority that exists and permeates in this place
Speaker: between mentors and coaches and service providers, it's time for that to end, right?
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: It's time for a level playing field.
Speaker: It is time for a revolution and for artistry to be respected, for creativity to be acknowledged and respected.
Speaker: People don't want, people don't want
Speaker: all your fancy ads and graphics.
Speaker: They want you.
Speaker: So it's time to bring your human back into business.
Speaker: It's time to have those boundaries, have all those things in place, have the standards, have the contracts.
Speaker: Holy shit, my contract saved my life last year.
Speaker: That and my business lawyer.
Speaker: But like, it
Speaker: These are foundational things that are needed in a business, but nobody is doing this.
Speaker: Nobody is talking about this.
Speaker: Everyone wants to live from like up here, like the ethers and the energetics and you need it.
Speaker: I'm the first person to tell you that you need energetics are just as important, but it's not the energetics in your business.
Speaker: It's the energetics of you.
Speaker: Your business does not need the energetics.
Speaker: Your business is a business.
Speaker: It has very quantifiable input outcomes.
Speaker: Like there are many tried and true business models outside of this coaching space that have that.
Speaker: But what often distinguishes businesses is the energy of the founder in that business, the energy of the team, the synergy, the cadence, the cohesiveness of the team, of the creativity, right?
Speaker: The mastery and the refinement and...
Speaker: Truly what I foresee in this future, not just for me, what I'm focusing on this year is refining client experience.
Speaker: I eliminated almost 80% of our offerings because I'm like, this is not aligned and I did not start this to be on Zoom calls.
Speaker: day in and day out.
Speaker: Like I started this because I wanted to create and I want to work with a team of creatives that love bringing art to life and bringing other people's expressions and voices to life and helping them bring it to life.
Speaker: So that's where Elixir is moving toward or that is the goal that that was the original mission.
Speaker: that I returned to over this over this these last two months truthfully and over this loss through this in the last month there people will say that it's collapsing time yes but what collapses time is you and your relationship with God what collapses time is you and the fervence with which you go forth with your ventures with your
Speaker: with the way you treat people, the way you show up, the way you behave, like all of those things, right?
Speaker: The way you take ownership for things, the way you're radically candid.
Speaker: Like in my world, you're always going to get radical candor and transparency.
Speaker: There is no other way because it is time for those veils to fall apart.
Speaker: It is time to see clearly because
Speaker: What worked up until last year does not work anymore.
Speaker: Where we're going, it does not work.
Speaker: We are here architecting a new landscape, a new paradigm in and of itself.
Speaker: A new paradigm isn't even new.
Speaker: It is a return to relationships.
Speaker: It is a return to community and to oneness and to compassion while also being kind and firm in your boundaries and leadership.
Speaker: That's a little bit of that riff.
Speaker: We have three brands.
Speaker: There's Elixir Media Co, which is the creative brand house.
Speaker: And I had to simplify it.
Speaker: I had to really distill this.
Speaker: It started out as me doing everything for everyone.
Speaker: You name it, the systems, the tech, the operations.
Speaker: marketing, graphics, all the things.
Speaker: And I realized over and over again, I don't enjoy, I love systems and tech and stuff, but I don't enjoy doing that for people.
Speaker: And I don't think I really want to offer that for people, but I know some incredible people in my ecosystem that I'd be happy to refer clients to.
Speaker: So that's one of those things.
Speaker: We are essentially offering more of a VIP day, VIP month model,
Speaker: when it comes to content, when it comes to photography, when it comes to your podcast production even, and when it comes to copywriting and monthly copywriting and stuff.
Speaker: I just realized
Speaker: The other ways that I was working in, they're not sustainable.
Speaker: They're not sustainable for me and they're definitely not sustainable for this business.
Speaker: This business is in itself a manifestor business model.
Speaker: Like I did the business HD for Elixir.
Speaker: It's a one four manifestor.
Speaker: I'm a four six manifestor.
Speaker: Being in response mode is a no bueno for us.
Speaker: So no.
Speaker: And like the team itself, we're highly creative.
Speaker: Everyone starts a business for freedom, right?
Speaker: But somewhere down the line, I feel like people forget this and then they expect contractors and freelancers or like other sole proprietors and agencies and whatever to be plugged in 24 seven, 365 days.
Speaker: And I see this especially toward service providers.
Speaker: And it's like, why?
Speaker: So I'm bringing that aspect of leadership and mentorship through the new brand, God Led the Movement.
Speaker: It is a leadership space, especially for done-for-you service providers of any sort.
Speaker: If you are a service provider, if you're a copywriter, I don't care what your industry is, if you offer done-for-you services that are not coaching and not mentorship,
Speaker: You need to be in the God-led the movement space because that's where you're going to learn to step into your leadership and get out of the employee freaking mindset, okay?
Speaker: And start taking radical ownership for yourself as the CEO, as the leader, as the business owner, as the entrepreneur, and as the architect of your brand, okay?
Speaker: And then there's my personal brand, Tanya Jane.
Speaker: If you want to follow that, that's where you'll get more of like my poetry, my prayers, my
Speaker: my shares on all things motherhood, books, publishing, like whatever, like my personal brand journey.
Speaker: But here on Elixir, you're actually going to start seeing more of our team.
Speaker: We have a beautiful team that I've cultivated over the last, I feel like this has been a team two years in the making truthfully, but it all just came together very organically over this last quarter.
Speaker: you're going to start seeing more of the team on here you're going to start seeing more of our clients being featured on here your this account is going to shift very distinctly into more things on content and branding and photography and
Speaker: Yes, you'll get the leadership riffs on here from time to time, of course.
Speaker: And there are some other things coming through in 2024, but this is a start.
Speaker: I'm bringing the events back where I'm hosting an open house in November.
Speaker: It's called an open house, but it's really an intimate event, an intimate brunch in November.
Speaker: Details still to be announced, to be decided, but it's going to be a max of 50 people.
Speaker: So that's coming through.
Speaker: And then there are retreats and events being hosted in the new year.
Speaker: And it is time.
Speaker: It is time.
Speaker: Because the last time I held an event was in 2020, literally like two weeks before the world shut down.
Speaker: And that event was so needed.
Speaker: And it was so successful because it was so beautiful to see people connect in real time.
Speaker: And it was those same people that met each other in that room.
Speaker: that then started working together and they developed friendships that got them through the pandemic and so for me as a four line relationships are everything my relationships with my husband my kid my team my clients like relationships are the heart of my business and i think it should be the heart of any business if you want to be in a room with leaders with
Speaker: heart-led, God-led leaders and connect and network and just be there in community.
Speaker: Definitely stay tuned as we unveil more of these things on here.
Speaker: In terms of how to work with me, truthfully, like there's different ways, but I feel like there's something for everyone.
Speaker: Our full-scale package, that is an investment and that is a proper investment.
Speaker: taking into account everything, taking into account expertise, energy and effort and the mastery and the Elixir team,
Speaker: We are not a team of generalists.
Speaker: We are a team of specialists in our zones and we are very multi-dimensionally talented.
Speaker: We're a team, literally we're a team of creative directors, truthfully.
Speaker: I'm not the only one.
Speaker: I may be the founder, I may be the face of this brand, but I'm not the only one and I don't wanna be the only one out there.
Speaker: Like it is a vertical leader.
Speaker: It's very vertically aligned, but the leadership or the community, it's very much like everyone growing together.
Speaker: There is a full-scale creative direction
Speaker: package that you could message me and I can share more with that about you if you want everything just done for you from your marketing campaigns to your copy to your whatever like all the things that you need in order to truly market your brand and be the heartbeat of your brand like your social media is the heartbeat of your brand it is the eros of your brand
Speaker: that brings people into you, right?
Speaker: And it is also the ethos that connects people to you.
Speaker: So message me and if that doesn't, if that's not a fit, we have different a la carte options.
Speaker: And then the only other way to work with me directly is if you're going to book a VIP copywriting month or a VIP copywriting day, or if you want to get into my channel for mentorship spaces, which that's where I actually look at your writing
Speaker: I actually go and edit some of your stuff.
Speaker: Like we will work on it together for you to go share because that's where I get to bring my developmental editor hat on.
Speaker: Like I was a developmental and I am an editor in chief for Next Level Psychic Magazine.
Speaker: So go buy that if you haven't.
Speaker: But there's all these opportunities that have opened up from the time I said yes to starting a business.
Speaker: And when we when I look back on it, this journey, it's full circle, right?
Speaker: Because you I feel like business is the biggest spiritual journey you can be on.
Speaker: And it is the closest, it is a walk with God.
Speaker: It truly is because you learn to face things about yourself.
Speaker: You learn to step into the bigness that he's anointed you with and you learn to own it.
Speaker: And for me, that took all these years, but I feel like each year my courage grew a little.
Speaker: If you feel called, if you feel pulled to work together, message me, stay tuned.
Speaker: On a totally separate note, like one of the intentions that I set this year was to...
Speaker: be in more rooms speaking.
Speaker: I literally just asked God, I was like, help me, help me use my voice, help me share.
Speaker: I want to be in more rooms.
Speaker: I want to be in person.
Speaker: Like I miss being in person.
Speaker: Like I'm grateful for the online communities, but I miss in person stuff.
Speaker: And so this weekend I'm actually moderating and co-hosting and also doing a talk on business and boundaries.
Speaker: I'm speaking at the all about women's show in Mississauga.
Speaker: So if you are watching this or if you're catching the replay and you're local to the GTA or Mississauga or Toronto,
Speaker: Come watch, come connect.
Speaker: I'd love to hug you in person and come partake in it.
Speaker: Browse and shop around with local businesses.
Speaker: Like it's going to be freaking phenomenal.
Speaker: So there's that.
Speaker: And if you need anything else, go listen to the podcast or just stay here for the content and grow.
Speaker: I'm going to pause now.
Speaker: I feel like I just had to
Speaker: Share all of that that was coming through me.
Speaker: If you're still here and watching, how is this landing?
Speaker: What's landing for you?
Speaker: What's going on?
Speaker: What's coming up for you?
Speaker: Let me know.
Speaker: Share a response.
Speaker: If any of this resonated, share out loud or share to your feed, repost and reshare.
Speaker: But I'll wait here a few moments before I hop off.
Speaker: And I think I want to actually read something that I wrote.
Speaker: And I wrote this
Speaker: the other day.
Speaker: I write when I need to process, I write and then it comes out.
Speaker: And I did this exercise actually in a mentorship space that I'm a part of.
Speaker: And this was something that my mentor made me write.
Speaker: And I'm going to read this out loud to you.
Speaker: And I would ask for you to close your eyes and to receive
Speaker: what needs to be received.
Speaker: And here we go.
Speaker: And this is called this my prayer.
Speaker: My prayer always is that this mission is bigger than me, that God grants me the ability to change the generational trajectory
Speaker: of prosperity, not just for myself and my family, but for everyone else that I come across with.
Speaker: That I get the grace to change the trajectory of my team members and their lives and the lives of their families.
Speaker: That I get the grace to help my clients step into their expression and change their lives and the lives of their clients and the lives of their families.
Speaker: The ripple is so much bigger than me or you.
Speaker: So help me God, help us God, help me bring this to fruition.
Speaker: Your will, not mine.
Speaker: I've heard your call.
Speaker: My soul is willing, even though my human may stumble.
Speaker: But I am a child of God and that you see me through it all.
Speaker: I have the traces of this through my lineage flowing through me, coming alive.
Speaker: That as I heal and I take a stand for me, I heal my lineage and I heal the generations ahead.
Speaker: That my ancestors and their spirits continue to watch over me.
Speaker: That you, God, continue to walk with me.
Speaker: And what I feel...
Speaker: I can have in this moment and every moment is the freedom and space to be me.
Speaker: And I continue to learn that on the other side of this risk lays expansion.
Speaker: On the other side of me sharing this truth lay expansion and alignment.
Speaker: On the other side of this boldness that courses through my veins lays a deeper anchoring into the roots of faith and into your divine love.
Speaker: And on the other side of me standing in my power
Speaker: lays a fruitful prosperity, a fruitful expansion and expression.
Speaker: And on the other side of speaking my truth, lay perhaps rebuke, perhaps prosecution.
Speaker: And yet still through it all, I walk through the fire and I walk on water and therein lies my growth and abundance.
Speaker: And on the other side of leading with God as my focus, lay a lifetime of oneness, of overflow, of divinity.
Speaker: You are
Speaker: My savior, you are my God, you are my guide, the refiner in my fire, my strength, my hope, and you have always walked and never forsaken me.
Speaker: I am here, God.
Speaker: Use me, use us.
Speaker: Walk through us, speak through us, work with us.
Speaker: So that was a little bit of the poetry that I wrote and that I anchored in this new brand.
Speaker: And so you're going to start seeing all of that too.
Speaker: If this resonated with you, drop hearts, message me, my inbox is open.
Speaker: And if you'd like to see more lives or topics that you'd love for me to speak on the podcast or whatever,
Speaker: just share and then I would definitely love to speak about those things.
Speaker: So I love you.
Speaker: Thank you for giving me your time.
Speaker: And thank you for watching with me for those of you who are still here and those of you on the replay.
Speaker: So I love you all so dearly.
Speaker: Thank you so much for tuning in and allowing us to inspire and infuse life and creativity into you.
