Is Fear Getting in the Way of Your Purpose?

What really gets me is how we don’t talk about stuff. We don’t really talk about the things that bother us, the things that get us down, that freak us out, or make us feel like we’re crazy on the inside. Then, when we find that one person we really trust, we let them in on how we’re feeling, only to find out they’re experiencing the same and didn’t talk about it either.
We each have amazing gifts to share with the world and our fears distract us and hold us back from sharing them. Then we think it’s our business that’s the problem, that no one wants what we do or not enough people anyway or we can’t seem to get in front of our ideal client. Truth is, and this was a hard truth my guides laid down in front of me when I was dealing with this, “you’re trying to make a harvest when you haven’t planted any seeds”.
Ufff…
So what do we do when we get into this space? We hire coaches and healers and all the people who help us do the work. We invest more of what we are earning in our business or dig into savings or go into deeper debt to afford to pay the people who will walk alongside us, help us clear through the clutter in our minds, remove the old stories, clear the negative energy, so hopefully we can finally get past all the crap, we know it’s crap despite how it affects us, and finally hit the goals we want to achieve.
About those goals,,, they’re usually tied into safety, security, or helping others through what we’re going through and/or have been through but aren’t talking about because we’re ashamed to share, afraid that people will look at us differently, judge us negatively, and our reputation (and income) will suffer.
The goals are still tied into overcoming fears. Have you noticed this? Think about your big goal and why you want it. Why do you want that house, that income, that lifestyle? Is that really what you’re here to achieve or is that just something that makes you feel safe- like if you had THAT, then nothing you’re afraid of could get through and hurt you.
Think for a moment instead about what you would do if you had already achieved all the “safety” goals. If you had the house, the income, the lifestyle, then what? If you had complete freedom of time, with income always replenishing itself, with no need to work or be in any particular location, what would you do then? Imagine you’ve already traveled to all the places, you’ve already checked every single box on your list, then what?
Look to the people who have already done this in their lives. What do you see them doing? Often they begin focusing on projects: investing, donating, advocating, serving. Their life becomes about helping those who need it and making the world a better place. It’s really no different from the goals you have, they’ve just lost the distraction of fear associated with meeting their own needs and the needs of their loved ones.
That means that fear, stories that you think could happen but haven’t or did happen and you worry they could happen again, are what’s standing between you and what you’re here to do.

You know how some people think well I’ll be happy WHEN…? Well this is more about saying I’ll help the world in a bigger way WHEN... instead of jumping through and over the fear into asking yourself how can I do that NOW.
There’s too much in the way… too much fear and stress and overwhelm and this constant worry around what people think of you, your business, your offerings, and how to get them to buy so you can have the income, buy the house, have the lifestyle, the freedom, and THEN all the fear and worry and stress will miraculously disappear.
But because you worry so much, you don’t plant seeds. You don’t get yourself out there, you don’t talk about it. You build a website and email out your offers and wait for someone to show up. Sometimes people do and that keeps you going, but it’s never enough to take away the fear or push you into serving the way you could if you were free enough to do so.
You don’t need financial freedom, you need fear freedom and that’s in your power to create now.
What would you do if you were really gonna plant seeds? Like a real farmer with acres and acres of land… How would you plant those seeds? Where would you plant them? When? How long will it take to harvest them? You already know these answers… the issue is what’s stopping you.
Me and three other amazing women entrepreneurs have come together to lead women into fear freedom. We call it journey alchemy. It’s taking all the crap and turning it into what drives you forward. We’re not teaching anything really, we’re just coming together and sharing. Sharing our gifts with each other, our knowledge and wisdom gathered along the way, and using it to help overcome the fears and stories so we can plant the seeds and make our harvest.
Together we make a pretty awesome team by combining human design, rapid transformational hypnotherapy, ancient woman’s wisdom and ritual, and holistic integrative productivity. We’re getting to the root of our purpose, overcoming what holds us back, and pushing each other into our greatest expression of life. Since we began, other women have joined the four of us and the more we grow, the more impact we seem to have on each other. We’re holding a virtual retreat the last week of August, from the 29th to September 2nd, that last Monday-Friday of the month.
If this calls to you at all and you feel like yes, this is something that could potentially help me past my fears and plant my seeds so I can make my harvest, then please join us. It’s free. I can honestly tell you I’ve never felt more seen, more heard, or more appreciated. It’s amazing what happens when a group of women hold up a mirror and show you your own reflection through the filter of what they see in you. You truly see the power you hold inside of yourself, that “what if” the fears weren’t there. They show you what’s possible when there’s nothing left standing in your way.
