Diane's Story
Diane (I’ve changed her name to protect her identity) needed help with validating her passion for a specific field in health & wellness. Should she jump in with both feet, knowing it requires a significant investment of both time and money? And what about her profession—she was only a certification away from going solo and opening her practice.
Diane’s heart was not in her profession though, and she knew it.
I discovered that Diane is strongly detail oriented, with a passion for learning and research. She is gifted in science. She also has all it takes to start and run her own business. She is both practical and spiritual. And resourceful. She gets things done easily without the help of others.
I did discover that she had subconscious blocks in the resourcefulness and self-reliance areas. Together we searched for the root cause of this—as it often is, it had to do with her family.
I explained to her why she was drawn to her current profession and why her passion would be a much better fit. There is an overlap between the two, though pivoting to her passion would allow her to meet her need for some type of spiritual work and to be in service of the higher self.
Diane’s homework included 1) taking steps to resolve the family issues and 2) taking the time to find the best program to turn her passion into a marketable skill.
The above would help her remove her inner obstacles and activate her inner ‘getter-doner’, which is her default modus operandi.
Monique's Story
Monique (I’ve changed her name to protect her identity) needed help with reconciling with her faith community, who she felt didn’t understand and appreciate her. At the same time, she felt a calling to share her special gift with her faith community. Although she is retired, she wants to do something that matters to the people she loves.
Monique does not drive, which further complicates things for her.
I discovered that Monique has 3 powerful gifts: she is very resourceful and self-reliant, excels at connecting with others, and is a true healer.
I asked if she ever asks for compensation for her healing work; she doesn’t. She wasn’t open to receiving any value in return for the value she provides. I acknowledged that people with a kind, generous heart often feel they don’t deserve anything in return for their acts of giving (while others ask for a sizeable fee for the same) and gently guided her through the process of opening her heart to receiving.
I explored her openness to creating a signature program through which she would share her gift of healing; she found it too intimidating. She felt that meeting with the decision makers and following her intuitive guidance in that moment would be the best approach. I couldn’t agree more—she has an exceptional ability to connect with people.
Together, we brainstormed how she could share her special gift with more people and overcome her transportation challenges.
Monique’s homework included 1) deciding on a fee for her service that she would feel comfortable with, 2) identifying businesses in her area that she could reach out to with her service, and 3) ‘just do it!’
Lucas's story
Lucas (his name changed to protect his identity), approaching his 30s, had a few false starts and no direction in life. He continued to spend his days playing video games. Having tried everything they knew, his parents asked me for help.
I discovered a whole gamut of strengths, meaning he could excel in a variety of fields and roles.
During my session with Lucas, his strong leadership potential and intellect stood out. He has the kind of energy that draws people to him. He could easily strike out on his own and build his own business.
I also sensed what I call “warrior energy”. Lucas is very strong physically and mentally.
He wasn’t sure which of his gifts he should tap into for a fulfilling career.
We had a conversation to determine if going back to school would resonate. However, this time it would have to be something that he would be 100% sure about, or he wouldn’t finish his studies. He was open to it, but none of the options we explored resonated.
For his homework, I suggested further research into science-based programs to see if he can find one that he would feel passionate about.
When we met again, Lucas had no progress to report. He hadn’t done his homework. He didn’t have a good reason as to why not except that he didn’t want to spend 4 years in school.
This time, we explored job opportunities— he had a bad experience years ago in the office. I could tell it was affecting him strongly, unbeknownst to him. He knew what he didn’t want to do but didn’t know what he would like to do. Unfortunately, the only jobs that were available to him were those he hated with passion.
As part of his homework, he was to try job hunting in person to encourage him to leave the house and connect with new people. Moreover, he was to try out martial arts classes in his area to see which ones would feel right. This, too, would help him meet new people, which could lead to synchronicities…
When we met for the third time, Lucas hadn’t done his homework, again. Only more time spent in the world of video games. I recommended that he consider travelling abroad and supporting himself in the same way that so many other native English speakers do—teaching English.
We explored countries on several continents and narrowed it down to two countries. His homework was to look for English teacher postings in these countries.
Lucas has been endowed with a heavy dose of determination, but for some reason, it’s inaccessible to him. He is not ready to take even small steps that could dramatically improve his life.
During a debrief with his parents, I recommended a more hands-on approach—I would support him directly as we tackle challenges together. This would gradually build his confidence, eventually leading him to the realization that the bridge he needs to cross isn’t as daunting as it appears.
