35 Lessons from 35 years: part 1

How are these last August days treating you?

I just made it to my home in Wisconsin after several weeks in Maryland and Virginia. It is less hot here, so I’m going to make every bit of summer count.

Also, I thought it would be fun to write a list of lessons learned at 35.

Because that is how old I am, and I have learned quite a few things!

SO many that I decided I would send you part of the list now, and part next week.

Sound interesting? Then keep reading!

By the way, my bday fundraiser has been AMAZING and my heart is bursting because we raised almost $200 in the past week.

Thank you so much!!

Missed that announcement? Go here to read more about the emergency fundraiser to help Ariefa, the director of Her Future Foundation.

It’s a nonprofit dedicated to girl empowerment and safety from FGM in Sierra Leone.

OK now here comes the list.

In no particular order other than this is how my mind works!

I wrote most of this out in a Denny’s in Montana waiting for an omelet. It was a pit stop during the 15-hour ride home this weekend. 😀

35 Lessons from 35

PART 1

1. Writing is medicine. Do it daily even a sentence.

2. It makes it obvious what I feel and then I take action on that rather than powering through.

3. Take time to pause and BE not just do.

4. There is no point where I will be more enough as a person because of my accomplishments. Trying to do that is never a good thing.

5. Dictate ideas and journal entries when you have idea on the go

6. Reviewing your life weekly or at least monthly means you remember what you learn better.

7. Don’t undervalue your skills.

8. Education pays off your whole life. The investment is worth it.

9. No one has a magic bullet to success. Most important, if you are going to get help or hire a coach, ask if someone can help you take actions you will procrastinate; provide a needed viewpoint or skills or teach you things; help you get clear on what success means for you; or all of the above. If yes, then that helper may actually be helpful.

10. Collaboration is worth the complications when the mood strikes.

11. ‘No’ is a good word to exercise.

12. So is the phrase, ‘let me think about it.’

13. When people tell you who they are with their actions, believe them. It matters so much more than words.

14. An apology doesn’t always fix something. Sometimes we make mistakes with a person that can’t be undone, but we can still learn from it.

15. Communication really is the key to a good relationship, but it also means learning how to phrase something in the best way and find the best time to bring certain things up. It’s a whole thing.

17. If you can’t find Mirin, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of it for 2 tbsps rice vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. [This is helpful if you want to make ramen — this is one of the recipes that has inspired me this year to make my own ramen with gluten free ingredients! Also this one, and this one.]

Stay tuned for part 2 next week!!

I’m also working on another way to record my lessons of this year having lost a loved one and turning 35.

Stay tuned for something new and exciting coming up!!

P.S. For my birthday I want to raise $600 for an emergency medical bill for the Director of Her Future Foundation. I work closely with this organization, and know he has volunteered unpaid all year to help girls in Sierra Leone end FGM and child marriage.

Bday Request…

The past week has been crazy! Has it been nutty for you as well?

I have been spending a lot of time with different folks to celebrate my recent 35th birthday (a week ago).

(Most people say I look totally different than I did a year ago because I’m growing out my hair! It hasn’t been this long in about 15 years and I’m keeping it.)

More on all the life stuff like that in an upcoming blog post.

Today I wanted to put out a request for my birthday.

Last year for my birthday, I invited people to provide me with a condolence coffee since my father had just passed away. Thanks so much to all that did.

Now, I am in a much better place than I was a year ago, and I want to raise money for a really good cause.

Have you ever gotten that feeling that it is all on you?

A lot of that feeling is landing on Ariefa Kumara, the director for Her Future Foundation, right now, so I’m trying to raise $600 to help out.


If you’ve followed me for a while, you might remember I did a fundraiser for this organization this spring.

The organization Her Future Foundation (HFF) has been founded to educate and empower girls so that they can be liberated from child marriage, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and other harmful practices in Sierra Leone–where girls as young as 8 are married to adult men.

Ariefa founded HFF and now runs two schools that enroll over 300 children, both boys and girls, in addition to other programs.

This spring we raised $1000 (above our goal) to get them NGO status, so they can continue to expand, assist vulnerable girls who have no parents, and provide more services.

What happened:


Last month the director Ariefa had a medical emergency 

The nonprofit is dependent on his well-being because he’s the one who can connect the girls in Sierra Leone with funding from international donors.

There is currently no funding but the organization has NGO status so with a little more time they should be able to receive it.

He’s in the middle of lining up new funding for the organization by working with officials in the UN (United Nations) World Population Fund and the European Union. Light is at the end of the tunnel!!

But in the meantime, the emergency put him in the hospital with malaria.

He needed help so a team of donors got him emergency funding for medical expenses. Sierra Leone doesn’t give free medical care, or even treat patients without payment. I donated $300 to gofundme and directly to him because his health is essential.

The good news and bad news

The good news is he is in a more physically stable place where he is not going to die, but his well-being is still being dinged.

The bad news is he needs $600 USD more to pay the final hospital bill.

The hospital workers have been repeatedly verbally aggressive and mean awaiting his payment in full. They won’t accept a partial payment.

The personal attacks are affecting his focus and mental health trying to get funding for the organization.

Going forward

We are in the home stretch finding new funding for HFF but since the last grant ended in 2021, Ariefa has worked without pay, which is why he needs help now.

He really has so many people in his community, including all the girls, looking to him for guidance and assistance. He’s done SO much for girlkind, pulling girls out of situations where they’d be sexually assaulted, married as a child, or initiated into FGM ceremonies. Instead he puts them in school.

I really want to help him out as a thank you for his service.

Can you help him to get this last bit of funding to pay this bill?

Not only will it help Ariefa, but it will help the girls as well.

He can put more energy and focus into the home stretch of representing Her Future Foundation and getting international aid.

And it will be that relief of knowing he isn’t in this all alone! He’s got people who want to see this mission succeed.

Want more information?

Check out this information about Her Future Foundation:

You can also shoot me a message by the contact me page.

(Yes, this guy is the real deal! I know people are wary of scams but I met him through my contacts in DC Nonprofits. I also worked with a state department official who visited him in Sierra Leone in person and attested to the amazing work he does there.)

Donate:

Here is the fundraiser that has been started for his healthcare here: GO FUND ME LINK

(It has $390 raised as of this writing, and we hope to raise another $600 to get it to $1000 total.)

Thanks for supporting if you can–it’s not really for me, but I’ll be really thankful if we can do this.

Price increase & Creating room for your desires

Hope you are well! I have been enjoying some time off with my fiancé’s family.

So grateful that after much preparation, our road-trip from Michigan to Virginia has gone well! Only forgot a FEW things…

Also I am preparing for my dad’s 1 year death anniversary coming in a few weeks.

I am okay, though! Taking good care of myself.

Just wanted to pop in, connect and remind you that the Summer Special on 1:1 support ends this week.

Why prices on 1 on 1 support will go up in the next season.

My 1 on 1 support prices tend to fluctuate seasonally.

I love working with people 1:1. My clients tend to get wonderful results like these stories.

But I also love doing other things, too. The stack of projects I take on changes seasonally, so my availability changes as well.

Availability affects how I can serve clients and for what price.

I am entering a new season of life! My time for 1:1 work will be more limited.

Why?

For the last year as I was grieving my dad’s passing, I had more time for 1:1 work.

That is partly because of sad things.

After feeling all my feelings and doing my executor tasks, and running my business, I did not have the juice for many of my own creative projects.

Thanks everyone for being in my corner during this time!

During this grief, it felt good to offer great prices like my summer special to keep everything super easy and light.

Helping people and working 1:1 with my clients was a total win-win for me to feel more positivity.

It totally helped.

And I do welcome more than 2 people to join me by taking advantage of this special.

Contact me to reserve your spot while it is a win-win.

The good news is that one year later, I am healing.

And–finally–I am excited to feel new creative desires stirring in me!

What desires?

-writing more for my own books and business.

-editing and sharing videos about the things helping me in life and my writing

-creating more group programs

I could dance just looking at this list. It makes me happy!

Sometimes we have to make some room for our desires.

That means letting go.

For me to clear space, I think it’s time to let go of this past season’s pricing and availability.

I just wanted to tell you one more time to make sure everyone got a fair crack at the opportunity!

Sidenote for my clients:

If you are already working with me this year, we’re good at the rate you’ve been on through at least October. I’ll let you know if anything changes after that.

If you haven’t worked with me in over a year, contact me ! Let’s figure out a win-win that works with where we are both at now.

Brand new clients will definitely have to pay more after July 31st!

Is this a win-lose?

No!

It’s just a change.

I know as I honor my inner voice and listen to what it says, I become capable of serving in new ways.

I’m sure I’ll create new ways of being of serving you by listening to my heart.

So it will all be a win-win…but things will change.

All I know is that, in the fall, my 1:1 offerings will look different.

To make room for my passions, closer to September I look over:

  1. What previous clients from this year want to keep going
  2. What older clients want to resume work in the fall
  3. What new clients come in at this special price
  4. What time all my projects take

And then I will see what space is left over for adding more clients into my schedule.

What I know:

I don’t have it all figured out yet but the special I have going right now will cost at least $249 in the fall.

BUT I may not have that much time available to serve new 1:1 clients to write for their business or book next season.

Maybe I will tunnel in and focus on my current and past clients as I focus on creating new ways to serve people in fall and winter.

So that is why I am incentivizing you to get in now–

claim your spot in my calendar (limited to 2 new clients)

and to grab it at an amazing price point (only until July 31st).

I’m not going to post any reminders

Why?

because this is for the person who knows what they want!

If you are ready to make your progress happen on your book or business,

Your energy and commitment right now is what makes it a total win-win for me.

All you have to do is contact me and tell me:

What is your desire?

-To start the fall with a fully updated website with better words about you, who you are and what you do?

-To work on your book while you have time this August?

-To write a product description or sales page that you can email, or post by September?

These are some of the writing and copywriting projects I can help you with.

If your desire is to figure out the next step when you have a million ideas for your writing or business, that is ok, too

If moving desires like these forwards sounds good, then contact me to get the Summer Special by July 31st.

I’ll help you out!

Let’s move towards our desires together!

Is this not the special you need right now? No problem.

It’ll be over shortly and my next blog will be moving on to something else.

HINT:

This is something totally different but…

Keep an eye out for my future blogs in August if you are not sure what your desires are or simply want more juice for them.

Because that is OK. I have been figuring that out all year.

Next week or so, I will share some more of the things that have been helping me connect to what I really want.

Let’s move forward towards our desires together! xo

feeling down? Read this

I believe sensitive people should rule the world, but I used to believe that as a sensitive person I was at such a disadvantage.

I felt bad I wasn’t able to be more successful in my life and my business, probably because of this weird personal flaw: being sensitive.

My issue in business was that experts told me to do a lot of things to market my business that didn’t feel right to me or I got very overwhelmed.

And the thing is I would push myself to do those things I saw everyone else doing. If I got too overwhelmed, then I felt bad about not doing them. And it didn’t work well so I figured I wasn’t doing enough.

Why tell you right here? Right now?

Well, because mistakes happen. And even though I messed up by ignoring and pushing through how I felt, I kept trying to find another way. That’s because I was passionate about wanting to help people and knowing there had to be a way I could do it. I kept experimenting with my marketing and things are better now.

I’m at a point where I am letting go of forcing myself to do things that don’t feel good and the best part is that:

I’m still able to run a business,

I’m still able to help people, and

I’m still able to feel satisfied that I’m doing enough and being enough.

I’m no longer ‘masking’ who I am, and as a result I’ve drawn in:

amazing friends,

an amazing partner,

and awesome clients I actually love.

So, if you’re feeling too sensitive or whatever, I just thought I’d send over a little encouragement today. In case you needed it.

Have you ever felt pressured to do things that didn’t feel good or that make you feel overwhelmed?

it is okay. I think a lot of sensitive people go through this. It can be tough.

Keep trying to find a compromise, try find a way forward that works for you and feels more comfortable.

Be willing to step outside the box and be different.

And if you are sensitive and trying to market yourself, your skills, your business or your message, check out the replay of my recent talk:

“Why Sensitive People Hate Marketing,”

There’s lots of tips for how to move forward and find a better way.

“I’m not as afraid as I used to be”

I just want you to know that today, as with every blog, I’m on a mission to help you write for your book or business.

Getting those words on paper or out online means serving more people… in a FUN way where you feel lit up and rewarded.

(Imagine me dancing and snapping, just for fun)

And when we do 1:1 coaching, we can make this all happen!

I know because I’ve seen it.

Below are 3 success stories from clients who have signed on to do 1:1 work with me since April.

I’ve been collecting these for a little while and it’s time to share the good news, my friend.

Meet Kristina.

She said, “I definitely am so so happy that I reached out to you because I feel like you have helped me motivate myself and helped me to boost my confidence and self-esteem when it comes to my business ideas. You helped me with the process. Since we’ve talked, I’ve literally built an Instagram network, built a Tiktok network. I’ve been more comfortable with posting my things on LinkedIn, and Facebook. Oh and my website, you’ve helped with that. Just from April, when we started talking, I’ve literally built an entire website and I have over 1000 followers on social media, which I like never thought that would happen.”

She said I helped with “the confidence, motivation, but also, the tech side. You really helped me with the process and met me where I am.”

So exciting to see her shine and have fun with her business. What platforms you are use is a personal choice, but I definitely hope where ever you are online, you have fun with it, like Kristina. Her site is up here 

Meet Joey.

Joey was feeling anxious about a speaking opportunity around his therapeutic creation Culinary ACT. He recommends my work to anyone else with “new ideas that feel scary and vulnerable.” We worked to prepare him with what to say.

He completed his talk and said that, “I was maybe looking into the doorway of culinary ACT before working with you, but now I feel like, I’m locked into the threshold and, Okay, I might not know what’s happening next, but I have other people who I can continue to bounce ideas off of to figure it out. So I think the end result is feeling affirmed. And I feel like I earned that.”

Now, he told me today, “I’m not as scared as I was before.”

So happy good things are happening for him–and now that the idea is out of the bag, it’s just going to keep rolling. I didn’t help specifically with his website but you can find it here

Meet Xena.

Xena is a personal trainer who used to feel off about her website and email freebie. She was not excited to share it with potential clients. She wanted to change it so more people would sign up for programs through her site but she couldn’t find the time to sit down by herself and do a revision. So she got my help. We put it on the calendar, edited the whole site together with a freebie email sequence and made some new additions.

She “loves, loves, loves” her site now–here’s my favorite new sales-page we worked on because it sounds so much like her. I get such a joy when someone’s unique personality gets to shine!

Kristina, Joey and Xena all received 1:1 coaching with packages like I am offering below. Some also chose to renew because the service was helpful.

I’m just so freaking proud of the progress they made. I’m actually really surprised…so little time went by and the results are outstanding.

If you’d like to get serious about writing out your ideas for your book, or business, I’d love for you to shoot me a message about this Summer Special below.

Not sure?

Joey said this about me:

I’m not “someone that’s going to cover your shit in red ink.” He said, I’m “warm and encouraging” even in my feedback.

And “You’re affordable. Sometimes there’s like an intimidation around hiring a consultant. You don’t operate that way. That just makes it a little more easygoing for people. And so I would tell these people [ who may be on the fence] that maybe they’re limiting their idea of how you can be useful for them.”

Yes, I’m offering really affordable rates right now! It’s what feels good at the moment but it can change at any time. Life is short, baby!

Here’s what’s going good including a talk I’m giving today on “Why Sensitive People Hate Marketing” (more below)

But first here’s what really matters–the life stuff:

1. I took a break from social media since the beginning of the month.

It’s been a way for me to intentionally slow down and focus in.

It seemed hard at first and now I’m adoring it so so much that I’m going to keep on for a while, maybe through August.

I’ve also lightened up my client load although if you ever need help writing for your website, your books, etc. you can still contact me to see how I can help.

2. As a result of all this time spent going in, I’m feeling a lot better now than I was.

Last June I found out my dad had liver and pancreas cancer, and he passed a lot sooner than I expected in August.

As generally happens around year anniversaries, feelings about all that have been coming in strong.

Since I became my dad’s executor, big responsibilities landed on my shoulders. To be honest, I’m realizing I’ve had huge boulders ever since I was a kid and my mother passed away.

Now I’m trying to feel it and let some things go, both old injuries and new.

Taking the time to go in and slow down has helped me feel like I can take a breath and just be a person.

3. I’m filling my life with positive content that is lifting me into a new evolution of my self.

Here’s a great video about Omisade Burney Scott

“As a Black woman in America, Omisade Burney Scott always relied on her well-curated, bold vibe to keep her appearing successful and feeling accepted in this world. But when menopause hit in her late 40’s, she found herself in a deep depression that had her body screaming at her to get back to her IDGAF 10 year old self, unmasked, unencumbered by the need for external validation, and not yet scarred by the effects of colorism.

“Now at 54, Omisade is only speaking to herself with kindness and learning to feel valuable and loveable without any facade, even when she feels like a “hot diggity mess.” In her menopausal rebirth, she has taken the courageous step of leaving her more traditional career, gifting herself space to heal, and paying it forward to her community through the launch of her organization, Black Girls Guide to Menopause (@blackgirlsguidetomenopause).

“Watch Omi’s video and get a dose of how medicinal it is to let your curated vibe crumble and be “sweet to your damn self.””

I love hearing other people’s stories,

which is part of why I love the work I do helping people to write for their books or business. There is so much power and inspiration in the stories of real people.

Not only have I been enjoying great content like this from a course called Release and Reclaim (which I may tell you more about in the future) but I’ve also been decluttering and upgrading clothes that got super worn out during my travels.

Letting the old out and the new in.

4. I’m giving a talk today!

If you’d like some more inspirational content and to connect with real life women who rock, I’ll be speaking today at On Purpose Women online

“Why Sensitive People Hate Marketing” with Sofia Wren Nitchie
Being really excellent at your craft is only one piece of a successful business. It is also essential to let people know what you offer and why they should come to you, aka marketing. If you’ve been thinking of taking things to the next level and are resisting marketing, come to the workshop to explore what may be in the way.

if you have a holiday, enjoy it

For me it’s hard to get in the 4th of July spirit and be rah-rah America right now, because I see it as a country that is so full of division and painful conflict.

Different belief systems.

Conversations that quickly become attacks.

Not even a shared understanding of basic facts.

How are we going to come to a common ground?

Will there ever be a way to find peace and compromise?

How are people going to feel taken care of?

I don’t know

But I do have hope that something will change in my lifetime. And I have hope

I also have hope in the power of me as an individual.

That I MATTER.

I believe in the power of paying attention to my own needs,

My own life,

filling myself up rather than falling into my pattern of putting myself last

It’s something that is positive and it’s something that I can do.

No matter what, you can use your individual power to create a better world

It can look like:

writing your book,

offering things in your business,

or even choosing to slow down and enjoy a good cup of tea.

It seems small but actually it is pretty huge

Hurt people hurt people so don’t let yourself become one of them.

Take care of yourself.

I’m taking my own advice and taking a full week off starting now. Enjoy your vacation if you have one!

Exciting: Beginnings And 100% Juice!

It’s the beginning of a new chapter! That phrase keeps coming to me, ever since that full moon a week or so ago.

My Summer Writing Group filled my goal of 8 people and I even added an additional person to make it 9.

It feels so good to hit that benchmark.

Is a chapter ending for you?

And as life always goes in cycles…..the end of one chapter is the beginning of another!

So what’s next for you?

Something that has been exciting me lately is the idea of creating a Second Brain.

The book “Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential” by Tiago Forte came out recently and it lit me on fire.

Why am I so obsessed??

Because I have sooooooo many ideas, for my business and my books, as well as for my life.

I want to get ALL the juice out of those ideas.

You know, like squeezing an orange and getting all that beautiful juice out–not just half or even 75%

I want the full 100% out.

Because I feel like sometimes I have these brilliant insights that are so easily lost in my notebooks or documents–

and it is that last 25% where the GENIUS resides.

I want to get that genius OUT.

Be all of me.

Help others in a big way, too.

Can you relate?

Do you want to join me?

Right now there is a Book Club for the book going on that is free, and I’m giving it a try.

In ALL honesty, I don’t know that I will implement everything for the book immediately but the concepts have already led me through some pretty interesting wormholes I can’t wait to tell you about.

Interested?

You can get your copy here (I don’t make money from this I’m just a fan!)

and join the Book Club here: https://basb.io/bookclub


Here is to listening to our ideas, our intuitions, our callings–

whether you are in a non-linear non-traditional goal type of space like I am in this very moment,

enjoying going to the pool as often as possible,

and ceasing the incessant “shoulding” on myself that I should work harder even though my bills are paid….

Or if you DO have a goal you want to light on fire, this could be really helpful!

Let’s let the robots help us to get our best thoughts and wisdom out in a way we can use to make the world a better place.

I. love. this. (about writing)

Phew, I’m hot today–I just got done hanging up four paintings in my new apartment. The past month has been wild, so although I moved mid-April, I still have decorating and unpacking to do.

I could go into detail about what all happened, but I’ll just highlight that last week I successfully filled all 8 spots in the Summer Writing Group!

Woooooo *mermaid flips*

I’m looking forward to a summer of writing…

Why? I’ll tell you.

Today I’m going to wax poetic about 3 reasons why I LOVE writing

1. Writing rewards you for being different.

Growing up I learned that being different was ‘bad’ because it singled me out to be criticized.

But with time, I realized having a different voice as a writer can be a very good thing. I love reading about people’s personal lives or their individual quirks.

Capturing that special voice when I write with my clients is something I work hard to do. When I teach people to write, I also respect that people have differences in HOW their writing process may work.

For example: some people want to write everything in a weekend, and some people want to work slowly over time (a SLOW BURN I call it).

2. Writing can make a big difference in the world.

I have been astounded in my lifetime how powerful writing can be.

I’ve been told my stories have had the power to inspire and comfort others. I’ve shared knowledge and perspectives that helped people. I’ve written things on my website which have led to a client getting results and living a better life.

Heck! In the last year I’ve even been using writing to fundraise $1000 for a nonprofit in Africa–and I don’t really know much about fundraising!

I just know that writing is powerful.


3. When I help other people to write, we all make an even bigger difference.

Your story has the power to change someone else’s life.

Your experiences and knowledge can get someone out of a jam.

Your website can give you clients that you will help get life-changing results.

You matter and so do the things you write even if you end up using them in audio or video form! It’s all good stuff.

So thanks for being here as someone I can write to.

Thanks for reading these blogposts. Thanks for signing up for my email newsletter. Thanks for sharing my posts and replying to them on facebook or instagram. Thanks for hanging out in my facebook group.

Thanks for contacting me directly to ask about the Summer Writing Group or working together 1:1 to write for your book or business.

All of is it great and valuable. I’m glad to have you here in my community, and you inspire me to keep going forward on with my writing.

LASTLY,

I know what it’s like to be unique and kind of different. I know we’re all different and we might have a little bit of a different process to write. It doesn’t all have to look the same of happen the same way for everyone.

And I know you really want to make a difference–and I am sure you will, in your own individual way.

You’re here on this planet to do something and I want to see what it is.

So contact me or leave a comment and let me know if there is something you are passionate about today!

One Day Left for Tapping into Your Genius Call

The Early Bird Bonus for the Summer Writing Group is ending tomorrow Wednesday @ midnight EST

I’m excited for everyone who has gotten these bonuses already and I would love to add 2 more people to the group.

I’m giving away a free 60-min 1:1 Tapping into Your Genius Call when you sign up for the program before tomorrow at midnight.

Use this session to make progress on writing for your book, business, webpage, product descriptions, emails, or blogposts.

Here are a few things people have said about working with me one on one:


“I came to Sofia because I lacked the confidence to bring my ideas to fruition. I basically felt stuck and lacking self worth.

She helped me to get a schedule down and basically knock down every obstacle that I built for myself. She helped me to simplify. She gave me confidence and direction

After working with Sofia, I have began my rough draft and am moving in a positive direction. When I feel a block, I hear Sofia say ‘perfection is not the beginning goal, just get something down on paper and you can work from there.’ I know that I can do it and I am doing it.

If you are hesitant about hiring Sofia, hire her anyway. She has such a spiritual connection that she knows what you need. Her intuition is always spot on and she thrives on helping others. She is honest and very good at what she does.”

Heather McConnell, intuitive, Las Vegas, NV


“Sofia, in her gentle and wise way, helped me to find clarity of purpose while reminding me to keep rooted in that purpose as I take intentional steps forward rather than being overwhelmed with how to put it all together perfectly.

Once I released the worrying part, the path became more clear and the steps were more solid, like stepping stones.

One baby step in particular has formed into amazing opportunity that is giving clear form to the path ahead. Thank you, Sofia!”

Kathryn, Musician

“Before I worked with Sofia I was trying to create a “program” but I wasn’t totally clear on what it would look like. I was trying to force it into boxes –

What I was working with before the session was so much more rigid and limited than I really wanted it to be, and I didn’t have a good sense of its spirit because my view of it was clouded by preconceptions of what it should be.

I had peace of mind at the end of the session that I just didn’t have before the session. I also keep reminding myself of things Sofia said, that have helped me let go of anxiety, open up to the possibilities around me more, and take more risks because I feel more safe. I’ve allowed myself to share my business ideas with potential clients, which I might not have had the courage to do the week before. I can normally hear my intuition pretty well, but working with you helped me find the courage to act on my intuition.”

Allison S, Entrepreneur.
