Collection: Phoenix Rising - Untangling to Reset

This is a private 14-week behind-the-scenes weekly newsletter as I untangle my own business and begin to rebuild. Tons of insight, deep dive prompts and a journey through that you can join me on. 

May through July.  Rising slowly, steadily all while living life just as it is. 

Join me and rise! 

What excites you is personal. It may be something others never thought about or felt too scared to act upon. 

But it lights you up, wakes you up and becomes your full focus…joyfully, passionately, and organically.

It’s been awhile since I had those core feelings and I miss that universe that I roamed around freely in for my entire adult life. 

I’m on a quest to tap back into that feeling.

Something happened a little over two years ago. I keep looking for clues as to when I let go of my kite. What slipped me up? What were the circumstances? 

That discovery holds the key. And like all of us, things, memories, and life can start to get jumbled. So the discovery process can take a little time and requires openness and space to unpack it all. 

I’ve mentioned to my Inspired Business Living audience about taking a step off your path, having a seat and unpacking your backpack. Laying all out there. Everything going on, all offers, all desires, the due diligences, the debts, the life stuff. Feeling the lightness that comes from taking that heavy pack OFF your back for a break. 

Looking at all the objects and things. Really looking at them individually. How have they helped you? Hindered you? What blessings do you feel when you look at them? And most importantly, are they something that needs to continue with you on your journey or… can you release them? Have they served their purpose? Have they done what they set out to do? Can you let them go and make space for something new later down the road?

This practice is incredibly helpful if you feel overwhelmed and either on the edge of or over the edge with burnout. 

It’s a pause that refreshes. 

What I am setting out to do is a little different this time. I’m not willing to turn around and walk backwards for two plus years, but I certainly need to take a seat and remember what I have walked through to get where I am at.

It’s a quest that isn’t going to be simple but I will make it as easy as I can.

It’s a pull out a calendar and start remembering what I was doing back, back, and back some more.

What I will get out of this experiment and why I am willing to do it is clarity. Putting clues together to see where and when I began feeling more fear than ever. When the risks of my businesses became unstable and frankly not worth taking. 

The results will be me making the adjustments I need to counterbalance the factors and create a business that absolutely feels aligned, ignited, and pure magic. I still believe in the magic of it all. It’s when my desires align with God’s plan for me and that is exciting. 

And I know it isn’t what I am doing currently. Meaning, it’s much more than “getting by”. 

I’m calling it my Phoenix Rising. It's about untangling to reset. 

And I am so ready for it. However, rising isn’t pushing a button and everything is good. It can’t be rushed. But it can be nurtured and invited to show up and noticed.

Something else I’ve noticed. 

I’m not the only one. I know I’m not. 

So… if any of this sounds like you, or you are somehow intrigued of the process, I’m inviting you to join a new newsletter specifically on the subject of rising up from our own ashes.

This will be a weekly check-in, checkup, and discovery email inviting you to join me as I chart my way through the gunk, into the good stuff, editing, streaming, and exploration.

Evidence finding ideas and deep dive prompts to share that will help your journey as well. 

This won’t be a free newsletter and I’ll share with you why.

I need to feel the feeling of being paid for my energy, efforts, and costs involved. It's vital for my phoenix to rise. Especially right now as I find myself fighting my desire to relaunch my businesses. So the monthly fee will be my little spark(s) to keep going, keep finding evidence, keep trying, and encourage the spreading of my wings to rise up from the current pile of ash I am resting in. 

Free this and that, endless discounts to break even… I know these are some of the things that made me let go of my kite. So certainly while I’m doing all of this discovery work, well I am not interested in slipping into bad habits … literally poor habits that I’ve done before.

And the gold that will be found is highly valuable for anyone! For those wanting to see the journey, you will find ways to pull yourself out of situations that arise in life, in the workplace, in your business if you have one, or even sparking the idea of creating a business. 

This isn’t for everyone and I’m okay with that. 

• It’s personal. Very personal.

• It’s behind-the-scenes like none other.

• It’s exposing and very humbling.

• And it’s absolutely genuine and authentic.

What will come from this journey is -

• Insight
  

• Ways through
  

• Tracking of evidence
  

• Ways to step forward even now
  

• Practical tips with real-life examples

• And lots of inspiration

What you get is my commitment (and that’s one thing I know I don’t say lightly) - but I am first making the commitment to myself. Once a week (at least) I will send an email with -

• Where I am at

• All the feels

• What’s working right now

• Suggestions for you

• Prompts for you to do your own journey’s work

Sometimes there may be multiple emails if I’m highly inspired, have discovered gold, or dove so deep I’m writing to find my way back up to the surface. And you can choose to read or pass (of course).

And because this is an email series it is evergreen for you.

So nuggets of inspiration are yours for the keeping.

So what am I charging by for this venture? 

USD 33 a month.

How long am I committing to this series?

I’m dedicating three months. May, June, and July. 

I may go longer but I feel like in three months I should have had enough time to discover where the link broke, and begin to work my way back into myself. For you, if you decide to do the journey work along with me, well, you too should have some real discovery and the sweet slow time to rise without anxiety, panic, or pushing. 

Not pushing at all. Just nudges. Just breathing into it all. Simply discovering what your heart is trying to say at this moment. And it may be saying something completely different than before. But the process of finding out... that excites me. 

As well, taking the time to do the work slowly allows us to do what we are doing now. It doesn't interfere with our lives. 

For instance my life right now looks like this - 

• I work for my church four full work days a week and this job requires my full focus when I am there. Once I am done for the day, I am done mentally. 
• I am dealing with the death of my brother who lived with my Mom and I. Dealing with due diligence involved to resolve all his belongings, bills, his Celebration of Life, all the family involved. It is a lot! Along with the grief.
• I am also living with my Mom. Making sure she is okay. Spending time daily with her. We are roommates, partners, and best friends. But it also requires time, energy, and focus for me. 

So I really need the slow pace to allow myself pockets of time to feel into, explore, and keep growing MY dreams. (They have been on hold for a long time now).

I'm committing to 14 weeks of discovery and input. 

There’s two ways to join -

1. Go monthly. Spend $33 and see how you feel at the end of May. You’ll receive a “time to renew” notice and you can make the choice then. No pressure. It's not an automatic renewal. I don't have the bandwidth to set that up. So at the end of the month (a week before), you'll be encouraged to go back in and re-purchase to continue. It's all your choice. 

2. Commit to the journey with me for three months. It’s $99 and this one will come with a bonus of two 1:1 Zoom Calls. One at the beginning to see where you are at. And one at the end to see how you are doing, how did it go, what were your discoveries. 

Anyone can join. You don't have to be in business to want to reset yourself. And that's what this is all about. 

So… if this sounds good to you… hit your favorite button and let’s begin.
