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.

Speaking of powerful choices and trust - today, I shall bestow upon you the wisdom of Rebecca Campbell. This podcast interview is two years old but still a brilliant listen!

I am so honored to bring this conversation to you. I invite you to deeply listen as Jyoti weaves her story of presence and community and right relationship together into a glorious tapestry. May you open to curiosity and be truly present in the story telling she shares with us here.

I loved the energy of this conversation! Jerico is so light and inviting and we spent so much time laughing throughout our time together, it was such a gift! Her reflection on her relationship with self expression, magic and her creative process had me asking all the questions. This was such a fun conversation and I am so excited to share it with you!

I am so excited to bring you this conversation with Jean and Katherine today where we chat all about beginnings, both in the Devoted Way and in our own lives. We chatted through how we enter into beginnings, do we dip our toe in or do we dive all in, wings out, heart forward? It was so beautiful to hear their experiences in the Devoted Way, how their journeys have supported them and stretched them and brought each of them into a deeper knowing of themselves.

I invite you to sink into this conversation. Allow Meghan’s words and spirit to wash over you. To call you into creativity. To release yourself from the pressure of knowing where your creativity will lead you. It’s not about the outcome. It’s about the play, the presence, the being with your own creative process.

Get ready for a wild ride! Leonie and I chatted about her wild discovery and exploration process of finding what works best for her in business and in life. I loved how she shared about her relationship with social media and her willingness to try new things. Leonie is such a delight and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

I am really excited to share a piece of the experience of Magic and Miracles with you today. And what is this experience you might be wondering? Well, don’t you worry! I have Katherine, Jean and Marlous here at the beginning of our time together to share a bit of their experience of Magic and Miracles. What is it? How did they feel? What was unique about it? We chat through all these questions and more!

This was such an incredible conversation with Tracy Neely. She shared her powerful journey of connecting with her ancestors and her own personal heritage. We talked about comparison and how being and remembering who we truly are can release us from the pressure of feeling like we are behind in our journey. This pressure can keep us stuck or blind to what is right before us and Tracy has such a magical way of encouraging us all to allow ourselves the space to truly embody our own energy which often allows us to in turn release ourselves from the comparison of timelines.

How fun to share this beautiful conversation with Hibiscus Mudang with you. It was such a joy to follow along and experience her retelling of her spiritual exploration, with the many twists and turns, that ultimately led to her initiation into becoming a Mudang, a Korean shaman. I loved hearing about her everyday life and the honoring of the mundane and the spiritual. For this is life isn’t it? The magical + the mundane.

I know you’ve been wondering. What is a 1:1 session with me really like? Well I have Jaci, Marlous, Jean and Katherine here to give you an inside look at the Devoted Way and their experiences with 1:1 coaching with me. Let’s dive in!

I love the collaboration and relationship these two souls have. What a beautiful conversation about difficult conversations, the behind the scenes of collaborating and what it means to own your voice. Such power and magnificence in both of these women. Their devotion to deep integrity and honesty in the midst of hard conversations is a reminder for us all to not shy away from real conversations.

What a delightful conversation I had with my dear friend Julie Parker. I absolutely loved hearing all about her childhood growing up on a farm and learning more deeply how that has shaped who I know her to be today. How her nurturing spirit and ability to ground into a deep sense of calm was birthed in so many ways through her early years lived on her family farm. How her love of learning has been such a significant piece of her life ever since grade school and what it means for her to stay grounded in who she is as a person with every new piece of knowledge she takes in.

I feel like I stepped into a portal to “the world of Tara” in this conversation. I could see and feel colors I didn’t before. I invite you to release yourself from expectation and step into “the world of Tara” with me. Experience her essence, get curious and think back to when you used to play pretend as a child. I wonder what would happen if we all chose to pretend a little more. If we got curious about the possibilities before us.

How do you celebrate life? Briana’s brilliance in celebrating, both the glamorous and the mundane, is the most beautiful expression of deep presence. Her way of sharing her life story. How she weaves together celebration, peace, presence and spiritual awakening is absolute magic.
