Last week I began pondering some questions that brought some new ideas.
Have you ever thought about your zone of genius?
I’m rereading the book, “The Big Leap” by Gay Hendricks, which is a really awesome book.
He talks about the zone of genius, which is the place where you can truly come alive and use your gifts to the max–
and it isn’t just something you are good or competent at.
It isn’t even something that you are excellent at.
We are talking GENIUS level stuff here. It is like your superpower.
I’ve always been fascinated with helping people to tap into their genius to write and create for books, businesses and more.
It’s part of what I call tapping into the power of your inner mermaid.
But these questions have me pondering it all in a new way.
I promised to send these questions to help you identify your zone of genius during the live event I hosted last week.
(The event was great BTW! If you missed it, no worries we will have another free workshop next month.
It’ll be on the topic of “What to do when other people stress you out.
My workshop collaborator uses dance therapy techniques to help you know how to deal with them!)
Back to the Zone of Genius questions—
You can ponder them or write them out.
Check out the book “The Big Leap” by Gay Hendricks if you want to go deeper. (That’s where these are from)
Questions:
1. I’m at my best when I’m….
2. When I’m at my best, the exact thing I’m doing is….
3. When I’m doing that, the thing I love most about it is…..
The author says sometimes this is a state of being that you get into when you are doing things in your zone of genius.
When I pondered this I started realizing I love the discovery of new things.
DISCOVERY
I love discovering the next steps for a project WITH my clients, and helping them to have realizations–or we come up with things together on a call.
It’s one of the reasons I’m drawn to the creative, unique client work that doesn’t have a “one-size-fit-all-solution.” If it did, there would be nothing to discover!
And I love what happens when I start pulling the thread and following my intuition, my fascination, and seeing where I end up.
Hope you enjoy these little questions to help you connect to your super powers.
And if you missed last week’s free hangout/ workshop, don’t worry there will be another free event next month on “What to do when other people stress you out”.
My workshop collaborator uses dance therapy techniques to help you know how to deal with people! Stay tuned for the details.
I want to share this live video I did last week in case you missed it!
I talk about tapping into the information you cannot find in a book, that can help you to make difficult decisions in your life, business, book, and so on.
I feel like in life we have a couple of options for how we want to create our experience:
Which do you choose?
Me? I’m gonna have some fun…
I’m still considering this a winter hibernation period, but the snow is melting just a little bit and I’m beginning to think about what the next season of my life will bring.
How are you doing? Feel free to hit reply and let me know what you are cooking up this next season.
And remember:
doing = being
You don’t have to be focused on producing something like a book, or business to have a good season ahead of you!
You get to pick the focus that is most important to you in your life.
Your inner wisdom–that I like to call your inner mermaid!–will help you select the right orientation for YOU.
We are still doing an easy-breezy habit challenge in my free facebook group today and all of next week!
My business focus has changed a lot over the years, and so have I. What a wild ride.
Around the time of this video, one client ten years ago paid for a 20 minute sound healing with bitcoin–
it wasn’t worth much then, but he said it would one day…
and this year I ended up making $4000 from selling some of the bitcoin from that sale!
Since I started my business around 2012, I’ve sold so many services.
I’ve sold Tarot readings, journal prompts, healing sessions, ghostwriting, massage and marketing support.
I’ve coached and helped people through many different problems, like how to:
market their business,
stay on track with their goals as a sensitive person,
and make progress on their books and businesses.
In the end, I sure have learned a lot and YES I am always changing.
So speaking of changes:
In the next month or so, I’ll be opening up spots to help entrepreneurs, coaches, healers and creators.
I’ll help them share their products or services so people understand what they do and are excited to sign up and buy.
It’s called “Your Mermaid Treasure VIP”
If you want to sell more of your service or product this year, it could be for you!
It’s a new twist on an old done-with-you copywriting service I used to offer to my clients for $10,000 marketing launches, except this will be much more accessible.
But here’s the change–
I was going to open it up this month, but I’m feeling some of this ‘breakdown before the breakthrough’ energy.
Maybe it is going around?
So, you are welcome to hit reply and email me anytime to be the first to find out more (spots will be limited)…
just know I’m also currently moving at turtle speed!
I’m going to let myself step a little slower and prepare to launch it officially in February.
There’s always something deeply touching about it, and of course I’m always surprised by something relevant that I wrote.
I’ve just received a note from myself today.
Because this was such a crazy year, I only just wrote the email a few months ago, but I’d forgotten what it said, like usual.
And yet so relevant.
I hope you try a practice like this for yourself, but perhaps these words will speak to you, too.
“Dear Sofia,
The past few years have been challenging ones for sure, but I don’t think you knew just how challenging this one would be. You have lost someone really truly important to you but I hope you know that he is not completely gone.
You have so many people who love you, so many who support you. Sometimes that support looks any number of ways. You have to think outside of the box.
But most importantly you have to put yourself first. You have gone fast at times, wanting to speed ahead as you have done before but the lessons you have learned now is that this is not the answer.
Speed and doing are distractions that take you away from what is really important. There is more than one way to get ahead, and ahead of what? What really matters to you now is a soul connection. You sacrifice looking “right” and having other people validate you in order to do the things that will truly be nourishing to your soul
I’m sorry that life has been so absent of nourishing figures in your family at times. It is not fair that there is so much that you have lacked. But I know that you know that hanging on is not going to help you. You know when to emotionally express and be supported and be with the feelings, and when to take control of life and let go of the pain in your body.
You are a genius and you know that is true no matter what. I’m glad you are releasing perfectionism, I’m glad you are letting go of feeling defeated for long, I’m glad you are honoring yourself first consistently and defying the sense of should and rules as you do.
I’m proud of you. and I know it isn’t your job to make anyone proud, because you are enough as you are.
I’m always here to support you. I always am holding you. I always am loving you.
I’m developing a new offering to help business owners and coaches connect to their high paying clients in the right way, at the right time.
If you suspect people don’t know what you do, or they don’t know how valuable your offers really are—then this can help.
People have to understand the true value of what you do in order to buy from you—they need to see that you’ve got the sparkling Mermaid Treasure they just can’t wait to get their hands on!
The thing that can solve problems or give them what they really want.
Get clear on what you can REALLY offer people. What is your Mermaid Treasure?
We can put our creative minds together in the New Year so you can broadcast about your gifts.
Find buyers online and in the world by enhancing your brand with the most excellent communication.
It’s time to express what you are best at in an alluring way that draws people to your sparkles.
Can’t wait to tell you more soon
…
And if you just can’t wait until January, contact me now!
You can ask about pre-enrollment in the upcoming Mermaid Treasure VIP Program.
(I just might take a wee bit to respond because I plan to focus a lot more on my life for a few weeks.
Before you pen down your goals for the new year, let me share…
Once upon a time, I was a little mermaid, feeling lost and wondering what to do with my life.
I attended a class, where–lo and behold–I was given the best advice ever.
Someone told me that everyone tends to make goals about what they want to do and what they want to have.
But really they should focus on the person that they want to BE.
That’s the one thing that had alluded me.
For years, I had set goals the way I thought I was supposed to:
-to earn certain grades
-to get into a good school
-to get a good job with that degree
But by the time I got to the end I always felt like something was missing.
I was unsatisfied no matter how well I did in school, or in my work.
Every. Single. Time.
Why?
My goals did not account for who I wanted to be–
and so to meet my goals, I ended up conforming and fitting into the mold of someone else entirely.
I thought I was getting closer to something, but really I was getting farther away.
But the man told us, whatever it is you are trying to do, have or be, there is an easier way to get there.
You can flip the script and you can focus on what you want to BE first.
So then I start thinking, “Okay, but who do I even want to be, though…?”
Moving past my silent questions…
He said, “Let’s say you want to be successful. When you focus on the BEING the kind of person who is successful, you naturally will do the things a successful person does and having the things that a successful person has.”
The lesson is:
Identify who you want to be first and focus on becoming that as quickly as possible.
Then everything else will be easier.
And you don’t have to be who you are “supposed to be” or who people expect.
You have full permission to get as wild and crazy as you really want to be when it comes to imagining the person you are ready to step into BEING…
Right.
Now.
So after I heard him speak, I remembered it for many years.
Slowly, I began to clarify that question of,
“Who do I want to be?
And if who I am isn’t the same as my job or my possessions, what does THAT mean?”
Gradually…slowly…I came to an answer of my own:
A Psychic Mermaid Creatrix.
What’s that?
Those are the words I have found to describe the state I want to be in:
Being in the water.
At one with nature.
At peace with myself.
Knowing that this second, around the world, there are people are enjoying my work:
my words, my videos, my thoughts, my songs, my books, my work, my creations, my energy.
It is desired. It is understood. It is spot on.
I am tapped in.
I know how to help people and do it in a way that helps me, too.
I’ve got money I need to make this dream reality possible–including time off to totally unwind.
Everything I desire is right here.
Through the power of this idea of who I wanted to be, I realized there was a gap to cross.
I had to evolve.
I had to THINK thoughts like her, embrace the new ways of thinking about things.
I began retraining my mind about what was allowed, possible, and good.
to embrace more of her essence.
I stopped believing lies that kept me small–
like that if I enjoy myself, that means someone else has to suffer.
If I win, someone loses.
NO. Eff that.
I began understanding that Joy can be a win-win.
That it’s possible to live in a reality where the things that light you up result in helping other people.
It doesn’t always have to be a cycle of endless suffering, giving to other people in a way where you end up losing.
The point of being a creator, a healer, a light in the world–is to ADD, not to subtract from yourself.
Give to yourself so that other people can receive more your best, mermaid self.
That sexy self that likes to dance in the mirror, or wear sparkles.
The part of you that is still laughing at a joke you made five minutes ago.
That is always going to remember nearly peeing yourself with happiness.
Yes–that self.
Pursue the things that make you feel in alignment with who you really want to be,
and you can actually make MORE:
more joy,
more money,
more good work or good art,
serve more people…
And finally heal the wounds everyone has been living with for centuries trying to give in lose-win ways.
Stop just stop.
Build JOY currency– the win-win model.
And stop living your life based on traditional currency, where in order for someone to win, someone else has to lose.
The experience of finding my true goal of who I want to be–
and tapping into this more, making changes, and using tools to basically channel the mermaid energy that is so full of joy, and that MORE…
I want to say it changed my life, but that would imply that I am done.
I am a work in progress. I am continually recreating myself day by day.
I am doing the work.
But it’s a lot easier because of this high vibration that I am being connected to on a daily basis since this summer when the Psychic Mermaid Creatrix course first began.
I share some of what I receive in my public spheres, but this course has been a place to fill hours of content with insights, tools, guides and profound codes for creativity and success in your book and business.
Holding these classes has been an amazing experience of channeling the messages I receive that other mermaids need to hear.
It’s not just about getting things done, it’s about embracing a new way of being a true mermaid creatrix.
I’m here for you. Thank you for being here for me!
I am so so grateful for you holding space for me to express this journey and invite others who resonate to join Psychic Mermaid Creatrix in these emails.
My intention is that even if it’s not the right time for you to join my course, that you are still getting inspiration from my notes to you, a win-win for all.
I hope that you are having a beautiful day and whatever lights up your soul can be brought into your life as magnificently as this energy has made its way into mine.
New Announcement: It is the last week to join the LIVE part of the Mermaid Creatrix course

After that time, everyone signing up for the next 6 month will only receive replays of live group classes and sacred mermaid rituals.
IT’S TIME FOR A NEW ENERGY
If you’ve been overwhelmed, stalled, or feel like it’s all hard and a grind–then you could really use this call to add more ease, inspiration and flow…
