Hello beautiful friend!!! Okay so the coaching industry is blowing up with new people joining all sorts of premium level masterminds and as these spaces grow I can't help but feel a little…angry. Let me tell you, if I had come into a high level space, paying upwards of $20k six years ago I would have failed, not just financially, but on a personal level too. Because here's the thing, I had a shit ton of trauma that I had yet to clear, and being in that unhealed phase would have ensured that my ego would have been running the show, calling the shots and ultimately running me into the ground along with it. Because here's the truth, you cannot build something from your soul when your ego is running the show. You cannot feel 100% aligned, in power, able and confident in your abilities as a mentor when you're so wrapped up in egoic perceptions of the world born of your past experience of life (i.e. traumas!). So when you follow a mentor who's built a business without fully healing from her past (because she was either born happy, joyous and free OR she built the damn thing but also damn near burned it down in her angst after realizing money did not in fact, buy her happiness - I've had mentors who fit both molds) it's so easy for your ego to get wrapped up in the idea that she's your ticket to making this whole thing work without looking at your addictions, abuse, abandonment issues, mental illness, etc. You end up outsourcing your precious energy to yet another outside "fix" and in turn you receive little more than confusion, self doubt, and ultimately the idea that this calling was never yours to begin with (once you've been worn down long enough to believe that atrocious lie). There's a better way. And it starts with undiluted, focused healing. Listen for all the deets on how you can avoid this impending scenario that is and will affect so many soul-called healers and mentors. To heal others we must first heal ourselves. And it is completely possible. Xo, Dana 🙏🏼Grab the free PDF with my favorite meditation, prayer and healing resources by clicking here.
