“Lighten Your load” is the topic of today’s podcast episode…full of practical tips and take-a ways With special guest intuitive coach Lisa Bell from Australia.  At a young age Lisa felt different from those around her…feeling that there was much more to life than what “meets the eye”! She could see opportunities and possibilities everywhere…not realizing that what she had was the gift of intuition. For a period of time, she shut down that gift to comply with societies' norms but she eventually gave into the persistent calling of her intuitive purpose.  I can’t wait to share her insights with you ….so Welcome in Lisa!

Before we get into the topic of lightening our load, tell us a little bit about yourself and the work that you do.

●    Darla Hi…. I'm Lisa. And I'm an intuitive coach, and I live in Australia. I work with clients to help them become more aware and clear their blocks to create a life they love. I first realized I could see beyond this reality, and what most people perceived as a small child. And I found that my family and friends weren't willing or able to perceive all that I could say. So this led me to the belief and conclusion that I was somehow wrong. I struggled with fitting in and in growing up and realizing that I was able to perceive and be aware of things that others couldn't. So I found the ways of thinking, doing, being and choosing that other people live their lives by seems so foreign, confusing, and limited to me. I just couldn't figure out why no one else seemed to see the easier, happier and greater possibilities and ways available to them. And I just could not understand why they wouldn't be choosing it, right. Yeah. So the rules that everyone seemed to accept as real, true and acquired just didn't make sense to me, I kind of have this kind of clear perception that they were trying to follow something that wasn't real, natural or true. And so I found it really uncomfortable and mystifying, trying to fit myself into these limited ways of being and creating. I knew there was a different way.

I think we really have that in common… that feeling of non-fitting in and being able to see things that other people don't. So I'm really resonating with that.

●     And I think this is quite common to people. It's just not very well, it's not spoken about a lot. Yeah. So I knew there was a different way of living as you do Darla. But I didn't allow myself to stay on my path of truth for very long. I'd get awareness and intuition, intuitions about things, but when people around me noticed, they kind of treated me strange and wrong. So I shut myself down to make them feel more comfortable. An example was when I was around 12, I had this intuitive hit, that I would win first prize in a raffle. So I went down and waited for my name to be read out. The whole thing felt so aligned and natural. I felt elated. And I shared with my dad seeking some kind of acknowledgement, approval or validation for my intuitive success. He said to me,” Well, you know, you shouldn't be getting too big for your boots, and you shouldn't put your faith into winning money”. Well, that had a heavy effect of closing me down. There was something that kept nagging at the edges of my awareness that I wasn't following my true path. And eventually, life just became too painful and uncomfortable. So I started looking into spiritual and healing modalities. I first dipped my toes into energy healing by taking a Reiki class, where I realized the true depths of my intuitive abilities, kind of felt like I was coming home and I found so much joy in giving energy readings and healing with people. I continued to explore various spiritual energy and healing modalities such as Angel readings, mediumship, working with guides and other energy methods. The more I explored and practiced my abilities, the happier I became, and I finally realized I had to live my truth to the fullest and decided to dedicate myself full time to working and living intuitively. And then I became an intuitive coach for Christine Marie Shelton's intuition and abundance training programs. I've done that for the last four years, helping guide

and teach others to connect with and learn to use their own intuitive gifts. I just love helping others live more intuitively and live their own truth.

When you speak about living your own truth, was there a specific event? I know you said you took Reiki first, but was there actually an event or a turning point that led you to start to explore all these energy therapy modalities?

●     That's a great question. Darla. What happened was that I kept feeling like there was a calling. And it was almost like I had, my soul was calling me to do something else. And it just kept getting louder and louder. And I couldn't ignore it. So that was that for me. And it almost felt like I had a funny guide, who was like kicking me up the bum, nudging me and pushing me forward to follow it. And every time I didn't follow it, it just became more and more uncomfortable. Yeah.

Thank you for mentioning that, because some of our listeners might be going through that right now where this thing keeps hearing, they should be doing something, and they just keep ignoring it. I know from experience, too, you can't ignore it for too long.

●     No, not at all. It just becomes louder and louder until something happens in your life where you have to, like kind of pay attention to it. Right.

Right. So like the title of our podcast, you learn how to lighten your load by exploring these other modalities?

●     Absolutely, yeah. And those kinds of things, that energy work was the key thing to actually creating my life my way. And it was the missing part in my life, right? So I'd done counseling and psychology and been to all these different things, and nothing was making sense. It was all kind of in your mind stuff. And so the missing piece, when I found energy work was like going, Hey, that's it right there. Because everything is energy.

Again, that resonates so much with me. So I was definitely in academia, and the thinking world and teaching. And when I found energy work, it was just like a whole new door opened and everything in my childhood and everything I had seen and believed up to that point just all fell into place and made sense.

●     Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love that.

What do you think makes your approach unique? Could you go into that with some detail?

●     So Darla, what I love about my work is empowering people to know that they have choices beyond their programmed buttons, and limitations, and also like kind of nudging them in choosing differently for themselves. So I offer a window into a different perspective and greater possibilities than society tells people exist. I encourage people

to create a life, the life they desire, through focusing on the positives they do want, rather than the negative vibrations of this world. And creating from the limitations most people buy into and restrict themselves with. So I infused my work with a nurturing energy that creates a safe and healing space for the forgotten, rejected and denied parts of my clients to show up, he'll grow and thrive. There are way too many people out there that will try and tell you what you should do and how you should do it. That was my experience in counseling. I don't think that isn't empowering. And that doesn't interest me at all. I don't give advice. I don't tell people what to do, or how they should do it. Instead, I'm an invitation to something greater, and share a space of expanded awareness and possibilities. I guide people to get in touch with their own knowledge so they can make empowered choices, from their own truth to create a life they love.

I love that “empowering people to look out the window of possibilities”. Yes,

●     yes. Yeah. I love the way you said that. Yeah. Beautiful.

So we need to respect client confidentiality. But what type of results do your clients experience when they work with you?

●     I have a few examples… Darla that comes to mind. One of my clients had been struggling with love for several years, repeatedly attracting guys who would sweet talk her flirt, pursue her. Then when it came to meet up, they'd ghost her. So we're able to bring awareness to her energetic and behavior patterns that were contributing to her repeatedly attracting these kinds of suitors. And creating this dynamic and working with her was so interesting because as soon as we kind of shut that door to allow that energy in the very next day, she actually met her new lover. He came in and was oh my gosh, it gives me goosebumps. She is now happily following her path; she's married to him with two beautiful kids. Another client is an intuitive who was struggling with constantly second guessing herself. She had a self-sabotage habit from back in her childhood of invalidating her awareness and projecting that others, especially authority, were more aware. So this kept her from seeking external validation. I have been, I feel like I'm reading myself seriously. After working with me, she was able to let go of this habit, trust her knowledge and follow her awareness to create a totally different life for herself. So she now chooses what is truly working for her and creates the life that she loves. And another another example is sometimes things show up in our bodies physically for us. For example, one client complained of 10 years of chronic pain in her left shoulder, and was surprised to find that the pain was totally gone by the end of our session. Another client had been suffering from back pain for decades. So I cleared him and freed up the energy removing what was triggering her body to signal that pain. And a few days later, she told me, she was finally free of the back pain after 20 years. So those are the kinds of things that happen in sessions.

Well, those are really exciting. I'm glad you shared all of those with us, Lisa…. So we'll have your contact information on the show notes page. But could you tell our listeners a little bit about the different ways they can work with you and how they can get in contact with you?

●     Yeah, sure. So Darla… most people choose to work with me in packages of three or six private coaching sessions that offer them the best support and create a life they love. I also offer small group coaching calls for up to 10 people per session, which is very popular. And also, later this month, I have a live online webinar. So it's about getting beyond self-judgment, to loving yourself up. It's a one-day webinar, doing a deep dive into the ways that we judge ourselves and limit our lives through self-judgment. So many people don't realize how much of their lives are limited, rejected, neglected or ruined by self-judgment. So my kind of definition, or what I've come to know is that self-judgments, basically internalized abuse. And I've got my honest degree in that. And I want to help others and learn and break free from that limiting pattern. So this webinar will be a two hour exploration of how judging limits destroys and messes up our lives, discovering how you can clear those blocks and break free from those limiting patterns. And then move participants to a space where they no longer have to live that way, or limit their choices in life through judgment, through self-judgment. So it's on later this month. And there are still some spots open for new participants to join. They can find out more about the webinar and how to join at least a bell.com.au/love yourself. So love, and then yourself.

Thank you, thank you so much. And we'll have that in the show notes page, too, that people can link to. So this has been just a wonderful, wonderful, informative interview with you. And I know that we're going to move into giving our listeners an actual guided visualization to follow. Do you want to give a little lead for that? As we conclude with the activity?

●     sure. So the guided kind of meditation is called connecting to your intuitive being and awareness. It's about 15 minutes, and it's really just connecting you to the truth of who you are. And it's just this beautiful process where we just expand our energy and we just kind of settle into our truth, that's what I want to say, our truth, a light. It's like a warm embrace. So, I call it connecting to intuitive being and awareness and it's also called an energy ball activation. So, sit back, listen and enjoy
