01. Intro to My Podcasting Era
62 Plays2 years ago
Welcome beauty to the very first episode of "It's Happening For Me" – the podcast that explores personal growth, spirituality, and living in alignment! I'm your host Ellisa, and in today's episode, we dive deep into the topics that have shaped my journey, including Spiritual Life Coaching, Human Design, and Meditation.
I'll share with you my insatiable love for learning and how it has propelled me to constantly enroll in courses and programs to expand my knowledge. Initially, my motivation to learn stemmed from a desire to become a coach and guide others in their own journeys. But along the way, I realized that this thirst for knowledge goes beyond that – it's a lifelong pursuit that brings me tremendous joy.
We'll also explore the power of storytelling and how it connects us all, reminding us that we all start from where we're at. I'll explain why I've chosen to bring a diverse range of guests onto the show and delve into the granular details of their lives before they found their soul's purpose. Through their stories of overcoming obstacles and finding alignment, we'll seek to inspire and motivate you to create your own path towards fulfillment.
But it's not just about listening to stories – it's about applying the lessons learned in our day-to-day lives. I'll emphasize the importance of moving away from a victim mindset and choosing our next actions with intention. Growth and evolution happen when we embody these lessons, not just when we read books or take courses.
Whether you're curious, going through your own spiritual awakening, or seeking to make positive changes in your life, this podcast is for you. Together, we'll explore the depths of personal growth, living authentically, and creating a life filled with abundance, joy, and love.
So sit back, relax, and join me as we embark on this transformative journey together. Welcome to "It's Happening For Me" – where we believe that everything in life is happening for us, not to us. Let's dive in!

Introduction to 'It's Happening For Me' Podcast
00:00:01
Speaker
Hello, my friend. Welcome to the It's Happening For Me podcast. If you're obsessed with all things spirituality, personal growth and development, and living as your highest self, you are in the right place.
Alyssa's Journey to Alignment
00:00:14
Speaker
I am your host, Alyssa, and I spent the majority of my teenage years and young 20s living totally out of climate. As I started to question my patterns and behaviors and actually got to know myself at the soul level, I realized that everything was happening for me.
00:00:30
Speaker
Now, as a spiritual life coach and human design guide, I am here to share my voice, personal stories, human design wisdom, and learn from incredible individuals living their purpose. Join me each week as we walk the spiral path of purpose together. I cannot wait to dive in.
Meet Alyssa: Host and Spiritual Guide
00:00:51
Speaker
Hello, my friend. Welcome to the It's Happening for Me podcast. I am so excited you're here and I am so freaking excited to be recording the first episode. So if we haven't met before, my name is Alyssa. I am your host. I am also a spiritual life coach, a human design guide, and really a lover of learning and life and all things
00:01:19
Speaker
spirituality, mysticism, and purpose. And I am so excited to be here and share this space with you.
Embracing Leadership and Change in Podcasting
00:01:30
Speaker
I have wanted to start a podcast for so long and I feel like this is just the divine timing. Like I feel like I'm really listening to my sacral response and it is like
00:01:45
Speaker
a heck yes, I have no reservations. Of course, some fears pop up here and there, but it's just like a knowing my soul knows that it's time to share my voice and really step into my leadership.
00:01:58
Speaker
role and so I am just so happy that you're joining me on this journey and I am giving myself full permission to completely change courses as this goes on if necessary.
Exploring Life Challenges as Soul Lessons
00:02:13
Speaker
I have an open head and open ajna and so I know that
00:02:18
Speaker
I'm not meant for certainty, and so things could change. But what you can really expect from this podcast, I think there's always going to be an underlying theme and a thread through all of this. And it really is going to be that all of the things that we go through in life, whether they are good, bad, challenging,
00:02:41
Speaker
happy. All of these things are just lessons that are happening for us, for our souls, bigger evolvement. And once I really learned this, like this was like the number one spiritual law that really, really helped me in my spiritual journey is just knowing that I'm not a victim of my circumstances and all of the challenges that I've gone through and all of this
00:03:09
Speaker
years of living out of alignment are serving a bigger purpose. And so I really hope that this podcast can be somewhere where you can come and just feel inspired and motivated each week and know that you are not alone on your journey.
Purpose and Human Design
00:03:24
Speaker
You're not alone on your sole purpose journey. You're not alone on this journey of figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life.
00:03:33
Speaker
And we're really in this together. So this podcast is really going to be about soul's purpose, Dharma, really answering the question of like, why am I here? What are my gifts? How can I be of the highest service? And it's going to be through the lens of my personal experiences, and then also through the lens of human design and gene keys,
00:04:00
Speaker
and different spiritual modalities that have really helped me on my journey. I'm going to be sharing a lot of personal stories and personal experiences and really paint the picture of what it's like to live so far out of alignment.
Self-Expression and Personal Growth
00:04:16
Speaker
and then share all of the tools and tips and tricks that I have learned over the years to live in alignment and really show what life can look like when we are just being our fullest expressed, highest versions of ourselves.
00:04:32
Speaker
And I really also want to instill this message of becoming our own best friend and our own biggest cheerleader. I have so much individual circuitry in my human design, and so I'm really here to just spread this message of self-expression and being our fullest selves and really relying on ourselves to
00:04:58
Speaker
push evolution forward and so that's kind of like the lens that I'll be speaking from and also I just really also want to share that when we can remove any guilt or shame that we have from our past experiences and realize that they were just here to help us grow that can actually free us to be our highest expression and then it's so healing not only for ourselves but for everyone in our lives because
00:05:25
Speaker
as we move through things that once triggered us and then like we go through the shadow to receive our gift and realize like, oh, these things no longer trigger me anymore. I'm not self-conscious about this anymore. I'm not embarrassed or regretful about this. It's like a permission slip for everyone in your life who knows you and who knows like the things that you've been through to start expressing their fullest selves and to start really appreciating who they are. And so
00:05:54
Speaker
even when sometimes it can feel like we're on this journey alone or like people in our lives just don't understand, even if they don't understand, like they're still growing just from watching you grow and from your evolution.
Alyssa's Personal Story and Reflection
00:06:06
Speaker
And so I just, I just love that. And so in this episode, I thought it would be really cool to share my personal story and give you some insight and background into who Alyssa is and
00:06:22
Speaker
Again, when I tell you that I've lived many years out of alignment, I'm going to explain to you exactly what that looks like. And I just think it's so cool because it's just the life that I live today is worlds apart from the life that I lived when I was my younger teenage and young 20s self.
00:06:39
Speaker
And I wouldn't regret any part of it. I feel like all of it was really needed for my involvement in learning. And even though I've had a lot of challenging things that I've gone through, I've also had a ton of fun. And so I wouldn't change any of it. So I'm going to share my story today. And then
00:06:57
Speaker
First, I'm going to share with you my why for creating this podcast. So there's a few reasons why I really am doing this now. And the first reason is because I am really ready to step into my leadership identity. Like I am ready to claim this
00:07:15
Speaker
next version of myself. And this version of my highest self has a podcast. She fully expresses herself. She shares all of the wisdom and things that she has learned. And she's not here to hoard any of this really valuable information for herself.
Inspiring Change and Overcoming Fear
00:07:30
Speaker
And my mission is to really help others. You know yourself so well and accept all parts of yourself that
00:07:40
Speaker
You really start to discern between fears and limiting beliefs and stories that you're writing about yourself in certain parts of your life. You're really discerning between that and
00:07:56
Speaker
who you actually came here to be so you can step into your most fullest, abundant self. And all of us have different parts of our lives where we're thriving and then different parts of our lives where we can need some help. And so no matter where you are in your life, on your journey, there might be parts of your life that you want to step into
00:08:16
Speaker
a new timeline. And so that is why I am doing this because hopefully it's an example that if I'm stepping into this alternate universe where Alyssa is a podcaster and she shares all of this wisdom, then that can help you jump to this other timeline as well in whatever part of your life you want to do that in.
00:08:37
Speaker
The second reason for starting this podcast is I am really ready to share my voice and express all of my passions. So I am freaking passionate about a lot of topics. And I am someone who is a lifelong learner. I love studying. I loved school, but I love school for the
00:09:02
Speaker
for the classes that I loved. If I don't have any interest in it, I'm not going to apply myself. But for things that I have deep interest in, I go all in. And so I am someone who's constantly always enrolled in courses and always enrolled in programs and learning new things. And yes, some part of that in the past was from a
00:09:24
Speaker
wounded place where I felt like I needed more information to be capable of stepping into being a coach, being a spiritual life coach, being a human design guide. But also when I really look to it, like I love learning and
00:09:43
Speaker
My Venus is in Aquarius and Aquarius like loves learning and loves information and so it's something that I'm really embracing and I'm always going to be a lifelong learner. So I am here to share my
00:09:57
Speaker
my excitement and passion for topics. And that way other people can learn through me, like the things that I'm really excited about. And so right now that looks like human design and jean keys and Ayurveda and all of the topics that I'm learning about. And so I'm going to share it in a way that is beneficial to you so that you can take this information and immediately apply it to your life and just get a lot of value.
The Power of Storytelling and Connection
00:10:24
Speaker
And the third reason that I'm doing this podcast is because I want to be an example of what it's like for us as women to fully express ourselves and do things that scare us. Because I think oftentimes, speaking from a personal point of view, there have been a lot of things that I've wanted to do in my life.
00:10:48
Speaker
I have always pushed through the fear and when I've done that, I've ended up coming out on the other side and actually doing and creating like really
00:10:58
Speaker
miraculous things for myself that I don't think I would have done if I didn't just go through the fear and do it anyways. And so this is like the next iteration of that is sharing my voice and sharing personal experiences on the freaking internet. It's like, this is the next stage of fear that I feel like I'm here to move through. And I think that it'll be a really good example of like, when we just put ourselves out there and feel the fear and do it anyways, we can really attain any aspirations that we have.
00:11:28
Speaker
And the fourth reason I'm creating this podcast is because I really feel like as humans, we connect so well over stories and sharing stories about vulnerability and transparently about the difficult things and then what tangible tools are
00:11:48
Speaker
How did we actually navigate and move through that? And then like, where are we at now? And what abundance and prosperity and just joy are we creating? I feel like that's the best way that we can learn. Like all of the podcasts that have helped me in all of the journeys that I'll be talking about. So I have my alcohol free journey, my fitness journey, my creating a conscious business journey, my spiritual journey, all of those journeys I
00:12:17
Speaker
have gotten to where I'm at a lot because of podcasts I've listened to and just listening to people's stories and understanding that everyone just starts with where they're at. And stories is really the way that we can connect those, connect the dots and know that we're not alone and see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Guest Interviews: Living Soul's Purpose
00:12:43
Speaker
And the fifth reason that I'm starting this podcast is because I am really excited.
00:12:48
Speaker
to interview and chat with guests. So I'm really excited to bring on different guests from all walks of life who are living their Dharma, who are living their soul's purpose. And I really want to get to the granular details about where they were before. So like, how did their life look like when they were out of alignment, when they were maybe following the shoulds of society or their family, and they just were extremely unhappy.
00:13:16
Speaker
And then what did they do? What obstacles did they have to move to to get to today where they're now really living their soul's purpose and excited about life, excited about the impact that they're having on other people. And it's also really part of my design to
00:13:33
Speaker
like be in communion and have connections with all types of people. So it's not just going to be other spiritual life coaches or other healers in the industry. It's going to be people from all types of life who are just living their purpose and doing what freaking lights them up. So I'm really excited about that. All right.
00:14:00
Speaker
Now let's talk about who is this podcast for. So this podcast is for you if you're somebody who is curious and is on the path of purpose. So maybe you are, and this can be anyone on the spectrum. So maybe you're realizing, maybe you're having a spiritual awakening and you're realizing like, Hey, I'm recognizing that I think I'm here for something
00:14:26
Speaker
greater than what I've been told. I think that my soul is here to make an impact and I am curious about discovering what that is. Maybe you are someone who is starting to question your patterns and you're starting to question your behaviors and you're realizing that maybe you haven't been living as your highest self and you're really excited to look at those parts of yourself
00:14:55
Speaker
and start taking accountability, really shift out of the victim mindset and start to see how you can actually take tangible steps to get out of those behaviors and patterns and create a life that you really love. Because all of us really were here to live in abundance, live in joy, to love our lives and feel good. And not in like a spiritual bypass way where like we don't have challenges or hardships,
00:15:21
Speaker
But we were not meant to live in disease, to live in discord, to live in drama and toxicity and all of those lower frequencies. We really weren't and life really isn't supposed to be that hard. Coming from somebody who lived a lot of years where life just felt like everything that could go wrong would and just felt shitty a lot of the times, I'm here to tell you that that is not how we're supposed to live. We're not meant to constantly be getting sick and
00:15:52
Speaker
feeling unhappy and having unharmonious relationships. We are not meant for that. One way to tell that you're living out of alignment is when you're feeling these feelings and life keeps throwing things at you. Maybe you're realizing that
00:16:15
Speaker
Like maybe an illness will come into your life, maybe a car accident. Like when we don't realize that we're veering off the path of purpose, life universe source
00:16:26
Speaker
the cosmos will start throwing things at us to knock some sense into us and be like, oh, wow, something has to change here. For some people, it's called a rock bottom. For some people, it's just some little things start happening and they're like, hey, I don't really like how I'm feeling. I don't like feeling anxious and depressed and unhappy and I want something to change. And that's usually when people start seeking
00:16:51
Speaker
some sort of spiritual path or some sort of personal growth and development. So this is really also for the person who loves personal growth and development and you're really excited to just learn more about yourself. And this is also for the person who already is living their soul's purpose and they're just excited to hear from other souls and hear how other people are living their lives and you're excited to learn more about human design and how these energetics
00:17:20
Speaker
can really assist you in living even more in alignment and how you can learn how to tap into the energies of your body and really learn how to just live in more harmony with the people around you and how to just remove so many masks that we wear because we're afraid to just be our fully expressed selves and so yay that is exactly who it's for. So if you're excited and you're still
00:17:48
Speaker
interested in sticking around, let's dive into my story.
Soul Evolution Through Life's Challenges
00:17:53
Speaker
So I thought it would be very cool to just talk about my story, a brief overview of like how my childhood was and kind of like what my views on life are, what I mean when I say that I was living out of alignment for many years, and then what exactly I did. Not exactly the steps that I did to get back into alignment, because that's going to be a whole
00:18:15
Speaker
another podcast, but I'm going to talk about where I'm at now and how I live my life now, where I see my life going, and the different little through lines that I have found have helped me on my path to purpose. And my whole thing about purpose is that
00:18:35
Speaker
Purpose is not just our career. Purpose isn't just the work that we do in life, although it definitely can be tied to that. But purpose is more like the essence of who you are and how you show up in all the things that you do. So it's not necessarily what you do. It's more like who you be. And the path to purpose is not a straight line. It's more like a spiral.
00:19:02
Speaker
you'll see that sometimes you feel like you are so many steps ahead. And then this pattern or this relationship or this situation comes back around again, but just like in a different form. And you're like, what the hell? I thought I already passed this. And it's not that you're taking steps backwards. It's just that you're spiraling around the corner. And it's just something that you need to look at again from a different angle because it's a lesson that you haven't fully learned or you haven't fully embodied yet.
00:19:30
Speaker
And so life can get to be really, really fun when we start to understand exactly like what our shadows are. And we all have shadow frequencies. We all have gift frequencies. We all have city frequencies, which are like these enlightened states. And if you're interested in that, highly suggest the gene keys because it is our own unique path to these different states.
00:19:57
Speaker
So there's like a prosperity path, there's a path to love and relationships, and there's a path to our genius, which are these different paths in the gene keys, which I'll get into later.
00:20:09
Speaker
But my idea on this whole life thing, and again, this is open to change. I give myself full permission to change this idea later on down the path if something else that seems more true and real for me at the time comes up. But where I'm at right now is I really believe that our souls incarnated into this lifetime to
00:20:32
Speaker
learn and evolve and we chose certain things to go through and we chose certain things like our parents to help us teach these lessons and I feel like the big like challenging obstacles we picked because that's the exact medicine that we needed to keep on evolving as souls and where we have free will is the way that we respond to these challenges and so that's where it's like we decide how we want to respond to
00:21:00
Speaker
the difficult things that come up. Do we want to take them and grow and learn from them and evolve? Or do we want to take these challenges and stick with it and hold onto it forever and hold onto the heartache for years and become a miserable person? Because it's very easy to
00:21:25
Speaker
have a thought which becomes a feeling, and then the feeling can become a state that you're feeling, which can become a temperament.
00:21:42
Speaker
And I may be wrong with those exact words, but I believe it's like a thought becomes a feeling which can become a state, which can become a temperament. So if we don't allow ourselves to move through these feelings and just feel them in the moment and learn how to process our emotions, they can actually become a part of our personality, good or bad. And so that's another thing to get into as well. But anyways, I believe that we are here to learn these lessons, to see that everything that is happening
00:22:11
Speaker
is happening for us, not to us. And every single time that we can get ourselves out of the victim mindset and the victim reactionary state of being and come into a place of responding and choosing our next actions is where we have actual growth and evolution. And that only happens in the actual day-to-day life.
00:22:35
Speaker
So we can read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, take all the healing courses, go to the retreats and like, yeah, do a lot of great work. But if we're not actually applying these things to our day-to-day life, which is where we're actually triggered in the moment, then we're not actually growing. And that's where you kind of get the bypass-y kind of stuff. So let's get into my story.
Navigating the Automotive Industry
00:22:59
Speaker
And it's funny because actually I've gone back and forth a lot between like, how do I want to do the story? Because it's like a part of me wants to do chronological, like from when I was born until where I'm at now. And I always go back and forth, but I think what would be helpful is to first just tell you exactly where I'm at right now in my life. And then I'm going to backtrack a little bit. So where I'm at right now in my life.
00:23:21
Speaker
I am a field recruiter in the automotive industry. I have been with the same company for almost seven years now and I really started from the bottom and I started
00:23:42
Speaker
I started working there while I was in college as an automotive technician and I knew absolutely nothing about cars. Just like my life's work in the jane keys is
00:23:56
Speaker
ascension. And so like the gift is aspiration, the city is ascension. And essentially in human design, the gate 54 is drive. So this shows up everywhere in my life, I'm extremely driven. And I always am looking for ways that I can grow or ways that I can just better myself. And so in every single job I've ever had, I've just naturally risen to the next positions to getting promotions and into leadership positions. And so
00:24:26
Speaker
And this company in particular, like I said, I started off as a technician just seven years ago. This was in 2016, so I was still in college. And I learned everything that you can learn about doing oil changes and preventative maintenance on cars. And it was really a really, really fun experience. I really like working with my hands and seeing tasks completed.
00:24:52
Speaker
I had no intention of staying with the company, even though I love the company from the get-go. Our core values are extremely compatible to my core values as an individual. Being fair and honest with employees and customers, I believe being fair and honest with everyone in my life and my relationships is extremely important. The company really values personal growth and development. That is my individual main value.
00:25:21
Speaker
And making life just fun. And that is something that I also really live by as well. So we really align with our core values. I've always loved the people that I work with. And just naturally, I grew in the
00:25:35
Speaker
ranks of the company. So I grew into a leadership position. I became a manager fairly quickly. I think it took me two years. And I was now I found myself in this position of managing a team of young individuals. And it was it was very fascinating. So it was extremely challenging. And then also it was very, it was very rewarding.
00:26:03
Speaker
My moon sign in human design is Gate 37, which is the Gate of Friendship.
00:26:17
Speaker
really, really, really enjoy making the environments that I'm in harmonious environments. I've always been the type of person that if someone's sitting alone or they're off to the side, I'll be the person that includes them. I really, really, really like making everyone feel very included. Also, if there's one person that maybe the whole group doesn't get along with and everyone's turning on them, I'll be the person that is advocating for them and trying to show people the humanity in them so that we can all come together.
00:26:47
Speaker
I loved being a manager in that sense. I loved being this bridge builder between everybody. I loved creating harmony, especially in a very male-dominated industry where it can get very
00:27:01
Speaker
It can get very high tensions running. We're dealing with a very, very fast-paced environment. It's a drive-through oil change facility, and the guest just stays inside the vehicle. So our goal is to get the guest in and out in 15 minutes or less. And so we're doing a whole oil change and preventive maintenance, multi-check on these vehicles.
00:27:28
Speaker
It's extremely hot, especially in the summertime. The vehicles are 200 degrees underneath the hood. We have somebody on the top underneath the hood, somebody underneath the car, and then the person in the window who's communicating with the guest. And everyone has to work together as a team using callouts, communicating with each other.
00:27:45
Speaker
If there is any strife or any tension or any interpersonal relationship issues going on with the team, it becomes very evident and it really hinders the workflow.
00:27:59
Speaker
To me, I really love just making sure that it was a really fun environment where we all just really got along together. We encouraged each other. I was extremely, extremely dedicated to the development side of things, so I really love training.
00:28:15
Speaker
getting people to see more potential in themselves before they even realized it so that they can move up to the next position and make more money and get more responsibility. And so I really loved that aspect of it. I also really loved the aspect of just coaching
00:28:36
Speaker
through different things that would come up in team members lives outside of work that was maybe affecting work. So that was also really fun for me as well. So it was just really, I really loved creating the environment. The people is what was so important to me. And it really makes sense because I have a two, four profile in human design. And so the four is all about relationships and
00:28:55
Speaker
that creating that network and that beautiful synergy between people. I honestly felt like I did that. I feel like the environment in my service centers, I worked in three different service centers as a manager. I feel like the environment, once I got the team together, it was very beautiful. It was so fun. Of course, we had our bad days. Of course, we had to deal with the typical things like call-outs and being understaffed,
00:29:24
Speaker
busy, you know, so all of those stressors that come up. But I feel like overall, we really had each other's back. And it was a very positive environment where I would never let anyone make other people feel bad or feel inadequate, which is my core wound is inadequacy. So yeah, so that was that as a manager.
Impact of COVID-19 on Work and Well-being
00:29:46
Speaker
And then I
00:29:49
Speaker
Over time, I became extremely stressed out because of the work environment. This was during COVID. And so we unfortunately had to furlough a bunch of team members because we didn't really know where the economy was going. We didn't know what was going to happen with the business. And so I never stayed home during COVID.
00:30:08
Speaker
where I feel like obviously that's different than a lot of people's experience during COVID. I actually had to work more. We were considered an essential business, so we stayed open. We never closed. I never had stayed home at all. It was just constantly working and actually working more than ever to make up for the loss of labor that we had from the furloughs. I was living in Bakersfield at the time, and so during the summer, it gets up to 109 degrees.
00:30:37
Speaker
So, working outdoors at a 109-degree temperature with full PPE on masks, nitrile gloves. From the moment we clocked in, we had to wear our nitrile gloves when we were on the property until the moment we left the property. Same with the mask.
00:30:59
Speaker
uh, be the role model. You know, like I had to be the leader who was leading by example. And so following this strictly and I had extreme eczema on my hands from just always being so wet. I always, I'm already prone to eczema breakouts on my hands, but during COVID it got extremely bad from having to wear those nitrile gloves every single day. Um, and I was just beginning to get very overworked and very stressed out.
00:31:24
Speaker
So I would work like 13 hour days, again, just filling in because we didn't have enough team members, but we actually business wise, we're getting busier and busier because the Walmarts that have the auto care centers and then other small mom and pop auto shops weren't able to stay open. And so, which is extremely sad for them, but really great for us business wise. Um, but
00:31:51
Speaker
you know, like morale wise, it wasn't great because we were understaffed at this point. And so essentially, I just decided that I really didn't like this anymore. And I really wanted to do something else. And so just kind of thinking about actually where I'm taking the story.
Building a Spiritual Conscious Business
00:32:21
Speaker
And also I am creating and I've been working on my spiritual conscious business for the last two years. And it has really evolved over these last two years. And that's why I really say that purpose is like a spiral. Like it is not this linear line, like, okay, I decide that I know what my purpose is. And then now I'm living my purpose. Like, no, my experience with purpose is that it is this
00:32:51
Speaker
it is this beautiful, sometimes very frustrating spiral. And it's like, we really don't know exactly where we're going. It's constantly like turning the corner, like going to the next step and then figuring out like, Oh wow, like this led me here. This led me here. Sometimes it feels like you're taking 10 steps back, but really you're just circling back around to like another pattern or something else that you need to learn like another lesson. And,
00:33:20
Speaker
I really, the reason why I called this podcast It's Happening For Me is because the biggest lesson that I have learned in life is that literally everything is happening for us. It is happening for our involvement, for our growth, for our best, best
00:33:40
Speaker
biggest evolution. And it doesn't feel like that a lot of the times, especially when we're in it. But once I was able to shift from this more like victim frequency of, Oh, like, why is everything happening for me? Why is this happening for me again? Like, why me to really taking a broader perspective and seeing like, okay, like this keeps showing up in my reality. This is showing up for a reason. Like what part do I have in this situation and where
00:34:10
Speaker
Can I shift my beliefs or my values or my standards, my boundaries? Where can I shift my mind frame and take initiative to design the life of my dreams? Because no one is going to save us. No one is going to create the life of our dreams but ourselves. And so that has been the biggest evolvements and coolest thing that I've learned about this.
00:34:40
Speaker
So that is why I started my conscious business two years ago. And girl, this has been a journey. I have changed so many, I have changed kind of like the facets of my business in so many ways from starting off from doing Reiki and then doing sobriety goddess coaching to doing spiritual life coaching and then now really focusing on human design and jean keys.
00:35:09
Speaker
But the underlying theme behind all of it has always been that I just want to help people understand themselves. I want to help people heal. And I want to just help people move from suffering and misery to joy. And it can be on any spectrum. I just want people to feel better. And so I have been loving this. This has been my passion thing on the side. And
00:35:33
Speaker
That is what I do on the side and I'm really excited to start this podcast because I feel like this is going to be the next step of me really putting myself out there of connecting to my audience of people really getting to know who I am like there's only so much that I can fit in an Instagram real or captioned, you know, it's like
00:35:52
Speaker
I can't put a lot in there. And so I am someone who loves to talk. I love talking. I love expressing myself. I love talking about ideas and stories. And so I wanted a long form place where I can communicate. So I still have my nine to five. I have my conscious business. And I think this is also very relatable for so many people who are on their purpose journey.
00:36:15
Speaker
who are wanting to create their own business or wanting to offer some sort of service and or some sort of creative outlet and they feel kind of like imposter syndrome because well they're not making enough money to do this fully yet so they still have their nine to five like I want to erase any stigma from
00:36:35
Speaker
any of that. We are multifaceted people. Who said we can't work a full-time job and also have a business on the side? Yes, it is a lot more work and you're going to sacrifice other things. Maybe you're
00:36:54
Speaker
like personal life. Like maybe you're not going to be doing so much like extracurricular things because you're working and then you're really pouring into your business if that's something you're very passionate about, but that's fine.
Redefining Success and Finding Fulfillment
00:37:07
Speaker
Like this is just a cycle of life. And when I decide that
00:37:12
Speaker
is successful enough and I actually want to move into full-time into my business and leave my 9-5, then that is something that I will get to at that point. But I have released all of the pressure to hurry up and make my passion my number one priority. Or I guess not priority because it's a huge priority. It's all I think about and pour my time into.
00:37:35
Speaker
to make it pay my bills. I took this conscious biz babe school with Natalia Benson, and she talks about businesses. And she's like, you wouldn't expect your baby, your little toddler two-year-old baby to pay rent, would you? So why do you expect your two-year-old business to pay all the bills for you? It doesn't make sense. These things take time. And so I want anybody out there listening right now, if you feel any sort of unworthiness around
00:38:04
Speaker
stepping into your leadership of being a coach, of being a healer, of doing whatever it is that you want to do with your sole purpose. If you feel any unworthiness because you're also working full time, let that go. That does not mean anything. If anything, I think that it's really cool because you can still make such an impact in your nine to five job right now with your
00:38:31
Speaker
um, frequency with your vibration. Like you being this like spiritual, amazing, beautiful, heart led person is only going to make the organization that you're working for a thousand times better. Like bring your gifts there. You know what I mean? And so that's something that I'm really passionate about. So anyways, that is what I do now. So I have my matrix shop.
00:38:56
Speaker
recruiting and I do all of the onboarding for those stores and I support our area managers. And so that's really fun. I have a lot of fulfillment from that. Like I feel very fulfilled. I feel very needed. I feel like I make a huge impact. I feel appreciated. I love the people I work for. And then on my conscious business, like now I'm really focusing on human design and G and keys and this podcast. Where did I get here?
00:39:26
Speaker
And what was my life like before? So we will be jumping into all of that in the next episode.
