Empowerment - in a second

Dearly beloved,
Empowerment is a word that is used a lot around International Women's Day, and it's also a word used around Zumba a lot - in fact the founders say that Zumba is not a fitness program, it's an empowerment movement. But the truth is that empowerment is, more often than not, about freeing our own power, the power we talk about when we say "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, it is that we are powerful beyond measure."
Sometimes it doesn't feel like it, especially when we are struggling with logistics or know how or situations where we feel we could do and be or have something if we could just figure it out.
But that power is always within. And we can tap into it in a second, just by letting go of the ego, silencing the mind and remembering who and what we truly are. We are alive and capable of anything we set our minds to.
I had a great session yesterday with a client, doing some publishing training and she said this (which I told her as soon as she said I was going to share) - "Thank you - this is giving me the confidence to explore by myself."?
Empowerment is often just holding someone's hand as we walk through something, before they realise that they were capable of doing, having or being exactly what they wanted all along.
HUGE BONUS today! My new Zumba Gold class is now available to watch on YouTube - you can either find it on Zumba.com and pay a nominal fee each time you use it:
OR, you can join Roshanara by Pearl Escapes and find it for free in Club Cielo.
There are also 8 videos in the Meditation Mountain on how to silence the ego aka the inner critic.
Lots of love, Pearl
Roshanara by Pearl Escapes?is a place where we can practice being our authentic selves and I am slowly building it...
All of the workshops of "Authentic Success, Your Way" are now available to watch in the Courses section!?
If you want to check it out, you can use this invitation, and what I love is that this is a community space, so you can see each other again. Roshanara means "the light of the gathering" and this is meant to be a space for us to retreat and just practice being the light that we are.?
I have created a Code of Conduct because it's so important that Roshanara stays peaceful, welcoming and kind - a safe space for everyone. So please do read through when you log in.(You can also invite others with this link.)
What I love is that although you can visit Roshanara on a computer, you can also download the Heartbeat app on your smartphone and it will show up as an App, just a little heart icon that you can click anytime to get there. I'm actually finding, as a tester, I keep going in there just for a bit of calm when I'm rushing around. So many times I've thought of creating an app and it seemed a million miles away - cost wise and technology wise and here it is!!!
This new space brings together all the things I love, there is a Club Cielo filled with my dance videos, and where hopefully I'll be adding some more. There is a little spa area with directions to everything about spas. There is a Barefoot Bar where you can chill out and chat with other friends. And a Reception where you can add any questions for me, or requests.?
There is a Meditation Mountain, with videos of why and how to practice.
There's also a space for Events, like Zumba Gold on Monday mornings, and you will be able to access the class directly through the space, even though it is still on Zoom.?
There is also a special area for Fear of Success Instructors.
Aside from my live trainings, support, consulting and things like books, I am trialling a Pay What You Can, When You Can model because, honestly, I've kind of wanted to do that ever since I first teaching Zumba. If you have any questions, just let me know.??
