Happy Sunday!

Have you ever heard of the hero’s journey? It’s an adventure of discovery and transformation that every hero, like Luke Skywalker, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and Harry Potter has walked. And for each of them there was an event, a challenge of sorts, that called them forward to begin.

For those of us who aren’t wearing ruby slippers or carrying a light saber or wand, the challenge that calls us to action can actually begin as something quite subtle, like a stirring in our hearts, or a quiet desire for something more. It can also become something quite impossible to ignore, like a diagnosis, a sudden tragedy, or a completely unexpected event that turns our world completely upside-down.

I ignored the call of the soft voice inside of my heart for years. You could have called me stubborn, but really the truth of the matter was that things hadn’t gotten desperate enough in my own personal story to really grab my attention. A few short years later, that soft voice started roaring and screaming, and then it was undeniable.

Things had to change. I had to change. Whether or not I liked it, my very own heroine’s journey had begun.

My first call to rise and meet the desperate challenges in my life came in the form of disordered eating, and being constantly at war with food and my body. I had to learn how to befriend food, love my body and create the best environment and circumstances for me to do just that.

My next call to grow came in the form of health issues – there were many – that required me to learn how to take better care of myself. I had to learn to listen to my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs, and then follow through with the most appropriate response. (It turns out eating potato chips by the bag and ice cream by the pint doesn’t always make everything better…)

One of the most challenging calls I’ve had to answer came in the form of burnout, exhaustion and overwhelm. I had to find a better way of balancing self-care, work, managing a household, meeting my financial needs, showing up in my relationships, and building a business. Once I learned to implement daily practices that helped me set the tone and the consciousness that I brought to my every day, my life changed for the better in every way.

Do you know what I’m talking about?

You know something in your life isn’t working. Maybe you’ve known it wasn’t working for years. But the idea of changing things just seems too daunting, too overwhelming, too exhausting… Perhaps you just don’t know how to do things any other way. Or maybe, if you’re really honest with yourself, you don’t want to.

As I’ve grown over the years, I have bumped up against the call to change and grow in nearly every area of my life. I’m very familiar with the feeling of not knowing, and the fear and resistance that arise in response to the recognition that something has to change.

That soft voice that begins to roar and scream is really there to tell you that it’s time to rise. It’s time to grow. It’s time for things to evolve. Maybe that something in your life that isn’t working is actually a gift that’s showing up to let you know that it’s time to shift things into the next gear.

This is really, in my opinion, what we are here to do. We are here to discover who we really are, why we’re here, and what we are truly capable of. And without life’s challenges, change and growth is impossible.

Growth and evolution cannot happen without a challenge.

My question for you is, are you ready to answer the call in your life?

I’ve created a weekend program that is designed to help you answer this call – whether it’s excess weight you’re carrying, or a specific health issue, exhaustion, fatigue and burnout, or juggling your never-ending to-do list and all of the rest…

The Radiant Possibilities Weekend Experience is designed to support you in creating the very best circumstances in your every day life so that you can rise to answer the call, overcome the challenges in your life, and rise to the opportunities for growth and evolution that are presenting themselves to you.

When you have the tools and the knowledge to be able to be your very best self every day, you can respond to the demands and challenges in your life from a completely new and empowered place.

Does this mean the challenges completely disappear and the call to change and grow disappears? No, it doesn’t mean that.

But it does mean that you will be far more equipped and ready to meet the demands and tests in your life. As you overcome each obstacle and transform the things that were making transformation harder than it needs to be, you will no longer find the call to change and grow as daunting.

Instead, you may choose to see each call to grow as an opportunity for you to be the woman that you really are.
