There are some incredible coaches out in the world aren’t there? Whether you follow them on socials, have subscribed to a plethora of email newsletters or know many of them personally. It can be hard to know where to turn.

Who is your person?

What is it that you want, need and truly desire?

Mmmm, I have a question for you Starbeam, have you taken a moment for yourself to turn inward? To release the notion that someone or something outside of you is the magic ticket you’ve been desperately searching for.

Do you feel the desperation within? Pulling, tugging, nagging, getting louder and louder?

It can be deafening.

What if the process of finding a coach wasn’t laced with the slippery desire to fix something? What if you weren’t grabby with your energy, but rather settled and rooted into who you are?

On today’s episode of the Devoted Way Podcast I offer you some sovereign possibilities for you to walk with each time you know you want to hire a coach.

Are you drawn to sacred circles? Do you long for spaces where you can be held in your full humanity while also given the space to be self responsible?

Do you want to be an active participant, or possibly the facilitator?

Maybe both are tugging at your heart strings.

Ohhhhhh Starbeam, I can feel your desire coming through the screen. Flowing up and out of you.

As you follow this desire, what comes up for you when you consider the following question:

What is a sacred circle?

Do you find yourself getting caught in the cycle of “I can’t…” or “I really want to do that but…” or “I should…”?

These thought patterns can really suck you in, can't they?

They slip into your internal dialogue, almost without effort, and they feel so true, so real, so unchanging.

I see you Starbeam, and you are not alone.

These words can often cut us off from dreaming, from seeing the possibilities, from being open to the different opportunities all around us.

It can be a slippery slope if we are unaware of the power that these small, and yet life-sucking words have on us on a daily basis.

So get ready, because on today’s episode of the Devoted Way Podcast, we are exploring this very thing.

Do I have a treat for you today! We are taking a short break from the Devoted Way Podcast to bring you an incredible conversation I had with Katherine Mackenzie-Smith as a guest on her podcast, Emerge + Expand.

I absolutely loved coming together with Katherine as we chatted about doing business differently and how to honor the evolution of your business.

How Do I Know When to Evolve Something And When to Let Something Go?

That question — it stops you in your tracks doesn’t it?

How do I know when to evolve something and when to let something go?

There is so much richness in this soulful inquiry around change. Around the how, the when, the confusion, the knowing.

As you begin to open to the curiosity within you, I invite you to get really present, and ask yourself an additional question as well…

What kind of changemaker are you?

Are you the one who, when you feel that knowing rise up within you that something needs to change — you go and make ALL the changes and you make them BIG?

Or are you the one who holds on for dear life — willing into existence that NOTHING WILL CHANGE?

Or, my dear, dear one, are you the one who will BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND?

What comes up for you? And what truth do you now know about yourself based on these questions?

Whew. Really honoring how you took a moment to get curious and create space for the knowing that is within you to come up and out.

Okay, I have a soft giggle rising up within me as I feel like I can almost hear your internal dialogue through the screen…yeah Sora, cool, thanks for these questions. But really, how do I know when to evolve something and when it is time to let something go? This question has been swirling in my head and I need HELP!

Have you been wondering if Devoted Energy Coaching School is a strategic business decision for you? Is it worth it? Is it the “right time”? Will you receive a return on your investment?

Oh the questions! How I honor your brain and the knowledge and wisdom that is housed there. Your brain is a wonderful part of you — do not dismiss the questions, the thoughts, the curiosities, the wonderings and uncertainties that arise here Starbeam.

And…none of us on this earth were designed to make decisions from our brain. So, let’s consider this question on a deeper level, going beneath the surface, shall we?

Is Devoted Energy Coaching School a strategic business decision for you?

You can be a powerful energy coach.

Will you open to that possibility?

There is this calling within you, a deep desire, a tug, a pull, an inner knowing that keeps you up at night.

I see you. And today’s podcast episode is just for you.

Let’s journey together and explore how you may lay your fears to rest that are telling you all the reasons why you can’t be an energy coach.

Why you can’t say yes to that thing that is keeping you up at night. Why you can’t possibly have or be or do _______________ {fill in the blank}

Because you can. Full stop.

Feel it. Know it.

So, I’m curious, what happens when your client has a mini transformative experience versus a vast, grandiose transformation in a coaching session?

I mean those moments when your client walks away with that mind-blowing, heart-opening, earth-shattering understanding are so incredible aren’t they?

You get to celebrate them and shower them in love as you gush over this massive shift.

But what happens when a session ends without the fireworks? What happens when it’s a small shift that occurs? How do you feel then?

As the founder of Devoted Energy Coaching School I am deeply invested in energy coaching while also having a deep reverence and respect for energy channeling. So let’s dive in!

What is energy channeling? It is the incredible wisdom one has in connection with their own guides and ascended masters.

In an energy channeling experience, your client is able to lean back and surrender, allowing the medicinal balm of your words to wash over them in the most delicious way.

What is energy coaching? It is the intricate weaving together of the guidance, question asking and support of coaching while being plugged into the energy field.

Take a moment and really feel that question…how do you feel about prayer…really?

What comes up for you? What happens in your body? Do you want to check out? Do you want to go deeper into the feeling? Simply notice.

Did you even want to open this email? Or was the resistance already arising within you as soon as you saw that question?

Prayer can have so many stories attached to it can’t it? Whether you grew up in a religious home or not. Whether you have a faith or practice or even if it feels as though you have no attachment to prayer at all.

Before we get into the juiciness of what I’m sharing on the Devoted Way podcast with you today. I want to take a moment and send you the biggest virtual hug and embrace. Let us come together, soul to soul, and give great thanks for one another and the lives that we have each lived. Ahhh, this feels so good doesn’t it?

Okay, with all that yummy cozy energy we’ve got going on, let’s get into it!

I know you want to share the real you with your community members. You desire to be authentic, to be honest, to not hide behind the pretty, fluffy words and photos but share all of who you are. But how do you do this without scaring your community members away, making them second guess ever wanting to work with you because, shouldn’t coaches and healers have their stuff together in order to guide others? And what if you over share, and it gets messy and sticky? What if the lines get blurred and you begin sharing, not from a place of service, but from a place of desiring validation from your beloved community?

Being an expert sounds so enticing doesn’t it? It catches your attention, makes you feel sassy and like you can puff out your chest and say, “Hey, look at me, I’m an expert!” It feels good doesn’t it? Yeah…until that empty feeling rises in your stomach and you become a bit unsettled, like you’re afraid of being found out that you aren’t as much of an expert as you try to make yourself out to be.

That’s when imposter syndrome likes to come out and play doesn’t it? Sneaking in the side door of your mind and wreaking havoc on your so-called confidence that’s rooted in other people's opinions and views of you rather than your own inner understanding of what you know to be true about yourself. So what if you freed yourself from spinning that never ending web of confusion, trying to measure up to everyone else’s expectations and feeling like you are never enough on your quest to expert status? Sound alluring? Oh, I know it does!

That’s why on today’s episode of the Devoted Way podcast, together we unlock a hidden doorway as we flip the script on “being an expert” and you are not going to want to miss it!

Oh no, it’s happening again. Your palms are sweating, your heart is racing, and there is this massive pit in your stomach. You can feel the words rising up within you…like they’re going to gush out of you whether you want them to or not. How do you stop it? How do you make your body settle? And keep your mouth shut cause you really don’t want to share what’s coming through even though your body says otherwise.

Oh Starbeam, take a breath with me. Allowing that unsettled feeling to ebb and open to this truth…you are not the only one who feels this way.

My body speaks to me too. And on today’s episode of the Devoted Way podcast, I’m sharing my own journey of honoring my body in these moments.

What is energy coaching? I hear you, getting dizzy with all the ways you are trying to FIGURE IT OUT. And don’t you worry, you are not the only one! I get asked this question all the time by the divine GEMS, Galactic Energy Magical Souls, inside of Devoted Energy Coaching School too. But Sora, what is energy coaching? How do I explain it?!?

Here is a little sneak peak of what I am sharing on today’s episode of the Devoted Way podcast about this very question:

Energy coaching is that in-between space where you are inviting your client to actually sense and witness the magic that resides within them. A space where they are given the permission to access their inner ability and wisdom to be their own healer.
