Have you ever suffered from a physical ailment that held you back in life?

Maybe it was a sprained ankle. Maybe it was cancer.

Of course, these examples vary in severity, but they share one commonality: physical pain. And physical pain is hard to ignore.

A couple of months ago, I was dealing with intense back pain. My body kept seizing – it was as though I was having a physical reaction to the unknown. My nervous system was shot. And my body was sending me a message, telling me to slow down.

Has this ever happened to you before?
What if your physical pain is actually your body calling to you, telling you to find a different way? 🤷‍♀️

I’m not talking about a quick fix here...
This isn’t about finding the fastest way to heal, so you can return to your OLD patterns.

What if your pain isn’t just something to overcome, and instead it’s here to shift your entire way of being? ✨

Often, the physical ailment you’re suffering from is actually caused by other issues that have been building up behind the scenes.

Maybe it’s been forming for years, and your body has tried sending you messages before but they’ve gone unnoticed.

You’ve been living in the discomfort for so long that you’ve become numb to the pain. 
Now, your body has to take more drastic measures to get the message across. And it’s up to you to answer the call. ☎️

What if it’s not about trying to fix your body, and instead letting your body fix you? 🤯

After all, your body isn’t out to get you. Just like the universe isn’t “testing” you. It’s here to work with you. Every experience is guiding you towards your next best step.

It’s reminding you who you are, and showing you how to step into the highest version of yourself.

But first, you have to get out of your own way. You have to stop trying to figure it all out.
Instead, you must surrender to the unknown.
​
That’s where the miracles are – in the surrender. It’s the ultimate form of expansion and growth.
I created this 4-week surrender mini-course to help you master the art of surrender. If you’re looking to make a big shift in your life and business before the end of the year, it starts right here, right now. ⬇️

Xox,
Vanessa

This one simple question has changed everything for me.​
“What would my higher self do?”

When you’re faced with a difficult situation or conflict—whether big or small, it’s easy to slip into reaction as opposed to awareness.

For example, my partner and I had a disagreement the other day. Honestly, looking back, it was so silly. A comment was said and we both interpreted it in a completely different way.
It wasn’t a big deal at all, but it took a whole two hours for us to move through it.

We were in public at the time, we were distracted by our external environment, and we weren’t able to pause and identify what was going on within us.

Does this sound familiar?

Maybe you can think of a recent conflict that escalated unnecessarily. Perhaps someone did something that was upsetting to you, and you found yourself reacting out of anger.

What would happen if, in the moment, instead of reacting you took a pause and asked yourself:
Why am I having this reaction?
What’s actually happening right now? Why am I feeling this way?
What do I need here? How can I best communicate this to this person?

It sounds simple, but as you know, when emotions are high it can be challenging to put this into practice. It’s a habit that needs to be formed. It takes time and intention. 🧘‍♀️

This is why I am always asking myself: How would my highest self show up in this situation?
Because the truth is, my highest self doesn’t actually care about the silly comment. She wouldn't even react. She would just keep on walking, doing her own thing, living in her bliss. ✨

Our human is always looking to keep us safe and protect us. Often, this means it cares way too much about issues that don’t actually matter. Or it leads us to judge and gossip about others in an attempt to fit in and feel accepted. ❌

The next time you find yourself judging someone else, looking at their outfit and thinking, What are they wearing? Why would they do that?, tune into your highest self. How would she respond to the situation?I bet she wouldn’t even care. She’d let them live their life because she’d be so focused on her own path that she wouldn’t even notice. 🔥

In order to channel your higher self, you need to get really comfortable with the vision of who this higher self is. 🔮

What does she look like? What does she feel? Who does she show up as?
Ask yourself: How am I showing up in comparison to my highest self? Rank yourself on a scale of 1-10.

It’s okay if you’re not at a 10 yet. But it’s important to recognize…

You can’t manifest your deepest desires when you’re operating from a 5.

Trust the process. Love yourself through it. Take the imperfect, inspired action. Do the work that needs to be done to heal. ❤️

I can help with that.
I have three resources designed to meet you where you are in your journey and help you identify and step into your highest self.​

Sending love,
Vanessa​

Is it a dream of yours to write a book one day?

If you answered yes to that question, then… same. Writing a book of my own has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember.

And I’ve had so many different downloads come through when it comes to defining the story I want to tell.
The truth is, I’m still figuring it out. And this one piece of advice has been instrumental in guiding me along this journey towards becoming the author of my own book one day…

Maybe you’ve heard it before…
“Write the book you need to read.”When you think about it, this advice could apply to so many different areas of your life…

Be the parent you needed as a child.
Build the business you needed as a client.
Be the coach you needed for your business (or life).

Right now, I’m focusing on living out the book I need to write.What does this mean, exactly?
It means I’m choosing to go first... 👣
I’m creating my own evidence of what’s possible.

I’m embracing a new way of living and running a business that I haven’t witnessed firsthand before.
One where you can be wildly successful without forced effort…
…Where you achieve more by doing less.
…Where you shift from constant action to utter stillness and clarity.
I’m focusing on living out this book right now because if I need to read it, that means someone else does, too.

I’m living it for me, but I’ll be writing it for you. ❤️

But first, I need to experience it. One chapter at a time.
…Once sentence at a time.
…One word at a time.
And I can’t wait for you to read it one day.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve been doing the work, addressing your blocks and your triggers, taking aligned action and surrendering to the outcome…
You’ve declared your deepest desires to the universe, trusting that’s what meant to come will arrive when you’re ready.

And yet, at every corner you pass on your journey to becoming your highest self, you’re hit with another redirect—or “test”. (Personally, I don’t actually believe the universe is testing us, but rather giving us experiences to feel deeper and expand).

If this sounds like you—and you’re finding yourself knee deep in the discomfort right now—this is your reminder to keep going. ❤️Don’t get me wrong, sometimes growth can feel effortless.

Other times, it’s so difficult and painful, it can actually manifest as physical reactions in your body. That’s where That’s where I’m at right now.

In recent months, I’ve been intentionally focusing on continuing to move from action to stillness. And although this is not a new concept, this transition has been extremely challenging. It has brought up a lot of doubt and fear within me.

I’ve spent so much of my life and career defaulting into the masculine, accepting hustle as the best path forward and convincing myself that success comes from action.

It takes time to recondition these old patterns, and to unlearn the lessons that were so instinctive for me.
And this hasn’t come easily. My nervous system is FEELING it right now. To the point that my body has actually been having physical reactions to the unknown in the form of muscle spasms in my back.

I’m sharing this with you today to show you that this journey you’re on--the one where you’re working to better understand and become your highest self—is a daily practice. It never really "over."
I’ve been doing this work for decades, and let me tell you: I’m still a work in progress. 💯

Self-awareness is like an onion – there are constantly new layers to peel back and explore.

If I look back on the entries in my journal from one, two, even five years ago, a lot of the same themes are there: surrendering, releasing judgement, navigating the discomfort of the unknown.​
But my perspective of—and experiences with—these lessons are always evolving.

And it is totally worth it! Despite the peaks and valleys, I experience more joy, peace and abundance than I ever have before!
So, take this as your reminder that just because it’s uncomfortable, or hard, doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
​
In fact, often times, the harder the lesson, the greater the breakthrough. Just keep trusting – in yourself, in the work, and in the universe.

You may be weathering the storm right now, struggling to see beyond the dark clouds, but I hope you believe me when I say: The rainbow is there, waiting for you. And it’s even more beautiful than you imagined. 🌈

And if you’re struggling to get there on your own, I have just the thing for you...

PS – If you’re looking for more personalized support, I have a few spots opening up for 1:1 coaching this summer. Book a free strategy call with me and let’s see if it’s the right fit!

Imagine you’re in a play.
​
Now play along with me… The you have always known is just your character. It’s just a costume you’re wearing. 🎭

When the play is over, and the cheers from the crowd grow quiet, you begin to remove your costume, along with everyone around you. Your parents, your grandparents. Your partner. Your best friend. Your team. Your biz besties. That person you often compare yourself to on Instagram.

Everyone puts down their costume. And all you notice now are the raw, unfiltered and unedited versions of yourself and the people around you.

You see, every day when you interact with the people in your life, you’re really interacting with the character they’re choosing to play. And you’re playing a character, too.

Often, that character is built from your fears, generational patterns, and your past experiences.It’s the character who makes judgements – of the people around you and of yourself. It’s your character who reacts out of fear. It’s your character who is constantly having doubts – feeling like you did something wrong or you’re not enough.

But the person who is playing that character doesn’t judge. When they put down their costume, all of the fear and anxiety fades away. What’s left is simply love and peace.Remember this the next time someone around you acts out of fear or judgement. It’s not them, it’s the character they’re playing. Beneath the costume, there’s a beautiful and loving human – but in this moment, they’re caught up in the role they’ve chosen to play.

When you’re feeling yourself start to react out of judgement and insecurities, take a moment, breathe, and take off your costume.

Recognize you are not the character you are playing. 💯
This doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with that character. It’s there to keep you safe, to keep you in your comfort zone. It’s trying to do its job.

But you don’t have to let the character control you anymore.
​
You can choose to put the costume down! Thank the character for trying to protect you. And let it know you don’t need it anymore.

In this process, you may find yourself mourning your old life and the character you’ve been playing for so long. Allow yourself to sit in that discomfort, and then move through it.
This doesn’t mean you won’t pick your costume back up again. It doesn’t mean you’ll never have judgemental thoughts or insecurities.

You are constantly reprogramming yourself. You’re always regenerating and evolving.

And you can choose to adopt new patterns and habits that are different from your old ones.
The key is to be aware of the judgement when it surfaces. To understand it. To have compassion and love for it. This is how you move through it and reprogram it.

This is where I am now in my own journey of self-discovery. It’s not that I don’t have any judgement or fear – but when I do, I’m able to have love and compassion for the character I’m playing. ❤️
I’m able to put the costume down.

Maybe I’ll get to the place where I’ve completely reprogrammed it. I’ll keep you posted.
For now, I’ll remain open to the possibility.
​
​Are you ready to explore the person you are beneath the costume and get out of your own way? I will give you all of the tools you need to remove the costume and show up as the person you want to be in this life.

Remember when you were a kid and couldn’t wait to grow up and make your own decisions?
You used to dream about the day you didn’t have to ask for anyone’s permission. When, finally, no one was looking over your shoulder, telling you what to do…

And then you became an adult—one who owns her own successful business, even—and suddenly you find yourself wishing someone would just give you all of the answers. 😂
Sound familiar?

When I was a kid, I had the opposite problem: my parents never really told me what to do. They rarely even gave me their opinion. And it got to the point that it would actually piss me off.
I’d come to them with a problem, and they’d tell me:
“It’s okay, you’ve got this. Meditate on it. Figure it out.”
I hated having that power when I was young – it came with a lot of responsibility. I couldn’t blame anyone else for misleading me. 🤬

But it’s the reason why, from a young age, I learned to take ownership of my decisions and my life. 💪

I didn’t understand their parenting style at the time, but now I’m so grateful for this experience.
And this is why I feel extra passionate about empowering my clients in the same way.
Often, clients will come to me with these big, exciting goals for their business and all they want is for me to tell them exactly what to do.

But the truth is, looking to someone else to give you the solution isn’t actually going to help you.
I mean, I can tell you what to do... In fact, I’ll do it for FREE in a one-hour discovery call. But this isn’t how you get the real results you’re looking for.

You can’t just take someone else’s system or strategy and implement it, expecting the same results.
​What you really need is to tune into your own authentic code and find the systems and solutions that are right for your life and business.​
You can’t outsource your role as CEO. ❌

As your mindset and business coach, I’m not here to tell you how to run your business. Only you can do that. But I can help guide you to find the answers you’re looking for.
Even better than that, I can help you embody the highest version of yourself so you can start attracting abundance in everything you do.
​​
Rather than simply tapping into my system, I want you to tap into my energy. I want you to see yourself the way that I see you – as the shining light who already has everything she needs to create the life and business of her dreams inside of her. ✨
