Today I am writing to you about: Your Authentic Self!

I spent so many years of my life disconnected from my Self (notice I used a CAPITAL S- that’s my truest expression of me, my most authentic Self) and woke up in my early thirties completely burned out, confused and wondering why I didn’t feel happy. Outwardly I had it all, the family, the house, the partner, the successful career, my health, and a thriving social life.

One day I had enough, and while I could not put it into words, I put this into words when Joal and I spoke about it: “I don’t exactly know, but I am going to figure it out.” This is the basis for all of my coaching, teaching, speaking, and training that I do. I am an expert because not only do I hold the certifications and trainings but more importantly, I have LIVED IT. And I am still on my journey of meeting my most authentic Self and sharing her with the world.

Can you relate to this? Are you ready to meet your most authentic Self? Hit reply and let me know!

And if you’re still thinking about it, keep thinking but only until April because that’s when the doors open again to Flow Academy, the most expansive holistic life and leadership coaching academy there is to date. So think for a little longer, AND be sure to click HERE and get on the list to be the first to know all the details for the upcoming Spring enrollment!

Sending you a ton of love and light,

A few thoughts and questions for you to get curious about in your life today my friend. Because the quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask….

Happiness does not depend on what you have or what you have accomplished. It relies solely on what you think. On the flip side, Worry does not take away tomorrow’s troubles; it takes away today’s peace.

Stop diminishing what’s in you because for some reason you feel like it’s insignificant compared to what someone else does or has. You are most likely going to have to lay down something in your life currently to experience the beauty of what you truly desire.

Ask yourself:

1. What am I basing my happiness on in my life currently?
2. Where am I allowing worry to steal my peace?
3. What am I ready to lay down in my life so I can fully experience the beauty I desire?
4. Where can I fully step into what is inside of me?

Need a little push? Feel free to reply back and we can chat about how to get you into action because you know what…. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF YOU!

Lots of love today to you,

Carmen

Yesterday I turned 42 years old and it was beautiful. I truly feel that I am the BEST that I have ever been mentally, spiritually, and physically. I am so deeply blessed.

Joal and I are traveling to Laguna Beach today to check out some possible retreat venues for the Permission Slip Retreats this year. Did you see that a few weeks ago we announced the “mark your calendar” dates? If not, simply hit reply now with the word RETREAT and I will send you all the details!

But what I really wanted to share with you today is the guidance I have received around my word and focus for the year: FIERCE!

The definition of FIERCE: A heartfelt, powerful intensity displayed boldly. Now doesn’t that just encompass how we truly want to feel as we walk through life each day? As I thought about it, fierceness can be both soft and firm.

Where do you want to approach life with a little more fierceness? A few ideas:

Fierce fun.
Fierce focus.
Fierce friendship.
Fierce fashion.
Fierce feelings.
Fierce family.
Fierce f**k. (maybe?)
Fierce finances.
Fierce fitness.
Fierce failure.
Fierce faith.

I will be sure to keep you posted about the retreat location. Take a peek on my IG stories this weekend for sure! Also, what is hitting home for you today? Fierce ______ ? Hit reply and let me know!

Sending you so much love and light,

Carmen

As we end 2022 and enter into a new year of infinite possibilities, abundance, curiosity, and joy I leave you with a few key thoughts from this year….

Be loyal to your dreams.
Find a room where being too much is appreciated.
Distractions delay your blessings; eliminate them.
Strive for a spiritual relationship, not a religion.
If you don’t do it, who’s going to?
You can come back to an old environment and make it a new place.
Be willing to witness your doubt and transform it to possibility.
Setbacks are God’s setups for your next blessing.
You are doing something bigger than yourself.
Listen to your soul and entertain your angels.
It’s easy to be what you have been, the challenge comes to be renewed.
Be bold in your action and soft in your heart.

Which thought hits hard with you today? Hit reply and let me know!

Lastly, I want you to know how important you are to me. I am so deeply appreciative of you being a part of our community. I spent so many years hustling, and feeling like I had to do it all on my own, so building this beautiful community has not only served you but me too. I am forever grateful.

JUST THIS MOMENT: recognize it, enjoy it, remember it, and you will have it forever.

Sending you so much love today,
Carmen

A reminder for you today as we close out of 2022 and enter into 2023…

The prepared person is positioned to benefit from unexpected opportunities. Continue to build your foundation, lay the groundwork, build a network, study your craft, develop your skills, and stay open to receive miracles daily.

Preparation, organization, systems and discipline are the true keys to living a life of freedom that no one talks about because they are not fun, flashy or sexy.

Where are you lacking systems and discipline in your life?

Begin to create some structure now. Get organized. Get rid of shit you are hanging onto because you might use it one day, and let go of the people, places and things you are simply tolerating. The old stuff you’re handing onto is simply blocking you from your blessings.

Start today, don’t wait for January 1st. Believe me, freedom can be yours!
