#53 - Lurinda's Mid Year Reflection

When was the last time you questioned what success really looks like? In this raw, vulnerable mid-year check-in, Lurinda reveals how her carefully mapped business plans took an unexpected detour after her daughter's serious car accident thrust her into survival mode for months.

The perfectionist who started 2023 with rigid financial goals found herself humbled by life's chaos, discovering that her true values weren't aligned with the success metrics she'd been chasing. "I needed to have those goals to really see that finances don't equal success," she confesses, describing a pivotal moment at a business event where she realized, "I would rather have no money but still have my values."

This reflection dives deep into the shadow side of perfectionism, the double-edged sword of resilience, and the courage required to completely restructure a business around quality over quantity. As Lurinda approaches her 30th birthday, she's focused on "closing chapters" from her twenties—creating physical spaces that nurture presence, setting stronger boundaries, and unmasking her true self after years of wearing protective facades.

The conversation offers a refreshing counterpoint to hustle culture, showing how sometimes pulling back, refining focus, and prioritising meaningful connections creates more sustainable success than constantly adding more to your plate. For anyone feeling stretched thin between work, family responsibilities, and self-care, Lurinda's journey provides both validation and a roadmap for reclaiming your relationship with yourself.

Welcome back to another episode of unhinged and unfiltered. A couple of weeks ago I got put on the microphone on the uh on the chopping block to do my mid-year check-in and it's taken me a few few goes, but we've got lorinda up here today, so we obviously did a what we wanted out of the year. At the start of the year we decided that it was a good mid-year point to check in on how those goals are going, how things are going, and I feel like for you you're like where you were. I don't exactly remember exactly what you said.

Speaker 2:

You wanted to do, but you've really kind of gone off to the side, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's so funny. I was like thinking about it and I'm like, yep, that didn't pan out at all. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You've really taken a big detour, yeah, which is exciting and fun. We love that. Okay, let's begin First question. So what or who was the version of you that started this year? Yeah, and how do you feel about her now? Oh my God, and how do?

Speaker 1:

you feel about her now? Oh my God. Well, my heart rate just like increased because I was just like, oh God, you have no fucking idea. That version of me was like really motivated and like not that I'm not motivated now, but like really like gung-ho and like set in her ways, and it was just like this is the the path, this is the path that I need to take, to make it kind of thing like there was a lot of uh, I guess shadows driven around, like failure and like wanting to be successful and wanting to get my name out there, that it just didn't allow me to see the multiple paths that I had. So, like I feel like that version just needed to be humbled, and she did.

Speaker 1:

I've been completely humbled this year, but I also needed to have her because she was like the start of the year and I'm like to have that new year energy, and like I had really big goals and also I needed to have them because I feel like my goals were really driven in like finances, like I was like yep, to be successful, like I need to make this amount of money and I need to have this many clients and all of those things, and I needed to have that, to really see that that's not a huge value of mine.

Speaker 1:

Like I feel like there's been so many things this year where I was just like, actually, finances don't equal success and like, yes, those things will come. And the example I give of this is like I went to an event this year that just really showed me so many things. And essentially in this event, she was like selling somebody her program and the way she did it was just like really not okay and we'll talk about this in another episode. But it was not okay the way that she did it. It wasn't like a safe sales at all. And I remember walking out of that event going, oh right, it's not money that I need, it's the fact that I want to make people feel safe and I would rather have no money but still have my values. So I think I needed to have her to be like okay, this is like what you think you need to have to be successful, but that's actually not what it is yeah, yeah, love that.

Speaker 2:

What do you feel like you've outgrown, either personally or in business, even if you haven't sort of fully let it go?

Speaker 1:

I feel like the hustle is still there, like just such that conditioning of like do more and you'll have more, and like I can see where that is actually not beneficial for who I am and my personality, and like where I'm at in life as well, like I feel that you know, maybe even like coming up to my 30th at the end of the year, I'm like, oh okay, well, my business is still not like where I really want it to be.

Speaker 1:

You know, like the things in my life is not really where I want it to be. So I'm trying to do more to like speed up that process and like realizing that I'm missing out on so many things. So I think it's still the hustle and it's interesting doing the check-in now, because I've had multiple meltdowns over the last couple of weeks and I've once again decided to refine my business and I'm actually taking away a lot of things in my business to do like quality over quantity. So I feel like the hustle is still there, but I've started to outgrow it and realize that I actually don't need to do a thousand things to be good at things.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, love that. What have you done this year that you're most proud of? Bonus points. If it's something that, like you know, technically you should or should not be proud of, that's something that, like other people wouldn't even consider.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm really proud of my like resilience and like there's a double-edged sword here, because at the start of the year shot, I was like my eldest was in a really, really bad car accident. And I'm proud of my resilience because I allowed other people around me to move through big emotions and to have that time to be in shock. And this is where my little perfectionist shadow kind of really came out, because I'm like okay, well, I want to make sure that everybody is okay, so I'll do everything in my power to make sure everybody is okay, which means that I became a little bit of perfectionist, so like no one had to do anything for me, it was all done. So, like, is that a good thing? Not necessarily because it meant that I didn't have my own space to feel and I still I can still feel like the remnants of that um, and it just really pushed this perfectionist to like don't fucking help me, right? I don't need help because I've got it all covered. Like you know, matt would walk in the door and I'm like, doesn't really matter because it's already done.

Speaker 1:

So I think like I'm really proud of myself for being so resilient and giving the gift to so many people of like yeah, this is a really big thing, but I will hold everybody, so it's not something that I'm really proud of. I am actually really proud of that. But there's the double-edged sword of like. For six months, though, I haven't been at ARCS for help. I haven't been able to. You know, my brain's constantly on because I'm thinking about all the things I need to do Like it's always like an anticipation of how can I be a step ahead of everybody else?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, deviation Do you feel like that situation of not being able to ask for help and sort of needing to show up for everybody else has influenced what it is that you're doing now, as in like pulling back, pulling back and also like the other sort of pieces, like the detour that we were speaking of in terms of you know like kind of being in, like obviously being in sac and supporting c, supporting Caitlin there, and all of those sorts of things. Do you feel like that's kind of like I wonder how much of that is sort of pulled from like the same shadow? Do you know what I mean? Or?

Speaker 1:

the same. Yeah, I feel like what it did was the image in my head is like, because I like so across the board with so many things, it obviously opened up space because I was doing and doing and doing, and like I really cleaned up the back end of my business and I had, you know, my eldest working in my business because she wasn't able to work and, you know, my house was more organized. So the more that I was doing, the more space I was creating for me. Now, right, like I went six months of like going really hard in everything. So now that I'm like, oh, I don't need to spend hours doing this because it's already done, which meant that I had more space. But it allowed me to see different pathways in my career, because when I say pulling back, I'm not actually necessarily pulling back. I think it's more refining and going. Okay, well, I'm doing one-to-ones and I'm doing actually necessarily pulling back. I think it's more refining and going. Okay, well, I'm doing one-to-ones and I'm doing my retreat, but then now there's more space and then I have more space, more opportunities. So I do actually do a lot inside SAC and then I also am, you know, the co-coach for a new membership that's coming out the feminine wealth club and I'm like I feel like, because I have that space, I can take those opportunities.

Speaker 1:

But the little perfectionist in me was like, but I don't know if that's what I'm meant to be doing, because the thing with, like running a business, no one actually gives you like the manual, like they tell you what to do. But I'm like I thought that I had to be having so many one-to-ones and, you know, running so many programs a year and running so many things that I didn't realize that I could build my business in a different way. So it's like oh, I don't actually have to be running a thousand programs. I now only run one program a year and I can do one call a month inside somebody's membership and I can work with coaches. I can do one call a month inside somebody's membership and I can work with coaches. Like I think it allowed me to have more space, to see that I can create things different to what I thought.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like it doesn't have to be in this box, it can kind of be a bit of it's in this box but then a bit of it's over there in that box and some over there and some over there and some over there, and there's just lots of different boxes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think it's also unraveling a lot of conditioning from, like, the amount of business coaches I've had. I'm like we need to have this much to make this much to make this much and I'm like, okay, but I don't enjoy doing that much and going. And they talk about, like you know, the freedom of like working from your laptop overseas and stuff like that and and stuff like that, and I'm like, well, that's not really freedom to me and I was just like having to really understand what freedom is. And freedom for me is to be able to like actually create whatever I want. I don't necessarily need to work from a laptop in Bali or overseas or anything, but it's more. I get to work with other coaches. I actually enjoy working with other coaches, whether it's in like a mentorship way or like a collaboration way. So, instead of building something for myself, how can I add to other people's stuff as well?

Speaker 2:

yeah, love that. I feel like you've answered this next one, so I'm gonna skip it. I'd love to know and I don't know if maybe you will even know this, considering how insane the last six months has been. Yeah, where do you feel like you haven't been showing up for yourself the best not for everybody else, but for yourself and what would you do to change that for the back end of the year?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think I mean there's been a big theme this year for me of like having to prove myself. I think that comes with like the perfectionist and whatnot. So I think something that I have been neglecting is like my space to myself to, I guess, feel and I know that sounds like a very surface level answer but like essentially like something that I noticed this year was in my relationships I'm very much more towards that anxious attachment, but when it comes to a relationship to myself, I have been a little bit more avoidant. So, like the last few years have been really deep, diving into my stuff and into my body and whatnot, and I've just noticed that like there has been a little bit of a pull back from that, because I'm like, if I dive deeper into the relationship with myself, which is secure, but there's more, there is that going to take from other people? And if that takes from other people, where am I going to be able to give back? So there is that like I have to prove still, like my worth is still tied to some of those things, but it would be more just like taking space for myself to be, I guess, to slow down and how it would feel to slow down and to do things outside of business. That gives me joy. So, like I actually really love business, I really love my clients, I really love the things that I'm doing, but can I create more space in my calendar so that way I can, you know, go to the gym or can I, um, you know, meet up with coffee or can I go for a walk or like?

Speaker 1:

Coming back into that, and I think it's having Logan on school holidays for three and a half weeks was extremely hard, because you're kind of like, oh crap, like what am I going to do? But it just noticed how I'm just like really craving time. That isn't giving. I don't like. Over the weekend we had a lot of people over and I was just like I actually just need a day when no one talks to me and I can just give back to myself without having to feel like, oh okay, well, I did a really big work week, so then that way I get to have something.

Speaker 1:

It's like no, like you're human, you're allowed to have those things. So I think it's just the back end of the year, looking at my calendar and going cool, I'm actually going to take the day off to go and get a massage again and have time for me, that I don't feel like I'm having to rush. I think the back end of this year I just want to have a lot more presence with myself, because I feel like something else I'm proud of this year is the way that I've shown up in my parenting. I feel like I've been really present this year in my parenting, um, and also like holding the fort in my relationship, because obviously there was so many things that we were moving through and I'm like, okay, I'm present for this and I'm present for this and I'm present for this.

Speaker 2:

But like I just need to be more present with myself so that's something that I really want to work on.

Speaker 2:

It's so easy to just kind of put yourself on the back burner hey, even though, like, we talk about how you have to, like the relationship to self is so important and we have to look after ourselves. But when things are as insane as they have been for you this year, like it does happen and sometimes we're just doing the best we can with what we've got, and I think that's why it's so important to reflect like this yeah, and sometimes go. Yeah, okay, cool, what are the good things? But also like where, where are we falling down? Like where and that's not a judgment, that's a what do I need to do? How do I come back to myself? How do I show up for myself again, where, where has that fallen down?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think that's why I really love having like so much flow, like having a crazy start to the six months I actually don't feel too bad about like I wouldn't say the word neglecting I feel like that's a really powerful word but like having to like prioritize my kids, and that I actually don't feel too bad about that because it's allowed me to go oh, actually I do.

Speaker 1:

There is a certain standard that I need with myself, um, and like it's been interesting because I've met like bottom line standards, like I haven't just like fully burnt out myself and like gotten so sick, or because I think that like I've really like I guess the habits as well, as like once you start doing it, you just you just do it.

Speaker 1:

But it's kind of like, oh, actually, I do require a little bit more now in my life and like going it's okay to require more, like I meet the standards, like I eat well and I drink plenty of water and I do movement, but I'm like okay, cool, like that's that's now baseline to me, where before it wasn't, they were really high standards, but now I'm like, oh no, I actually do require more. I do require that time for myself. I do require a massage because I got a fucking headache all the time, like I actually am allowed to have more in my life. It's just making the time to do that and I feel like life has started to slow down a little bit more. Touch wood. So that way I'm like, okay, cool, my kids were the priority. They're all solid. They're always going to be a priority to me. But where can I take more time for myself now?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think that's balance really. That time for myself now. Yeah, I think that's balance really, that sometimes it's it's going to be you and sometimes it's going to be them, and sometimes you can do both. But a lot of the time I think the whole balance in motherhood is a myth. Yeah, the way that it's sold to us anyway, it's like some months it's about you, some months it's about them. Some months it's about nobody at all not surviving. Yeah, 100%, we're just in the pressure cooker. It's about them. Some months it's about nobody at all Not surviving. Yeah, 100%, we're just in the pressure cooker. Okay, if the next six months were guided by just like that deep pull within you, like really honoring yourself, honoring, honoring your boundaries, honoring who you are, honoring what you want instead of what you should be doing, what it should look like, the societal pressure what would it look like in comparison to previous years?

Speaker 1:

that's a really good question, like in comparison to previous years. That's a really good question. I feel like the word boundaries come to mind. I'm like goddamn boundaries. I feel that I mean I've already started, so like something that I haven't openly spoken about just yet. Maybe by the time this comes out it'll be done.

Speaker 1:

But like I actually cancelled my entire membership and that was a few meltdowns to get to that point. But it's like already starting and the reason that I did that is because I'm somebody where, if I'm not all in, I don't really want to be half-assing it. So I like looked at all of my stuff and I was just like actually, where do I want to be more present in? Where do I want to do more things? And also like why am I running things Right? There was like I feel like for the membership there was a lot of stuff around like making sure that I can help so many people, but then realizing there's actually a lot of really great coaches out there that that can that as well and my power is in like my one-to-ones and my retreats and you know, in SAC and whatnot. So then it's just pulling back and keeping true to my word of like for the next. I mean we're in July, so for the next five, six months of just running what I have right now and like pulling back and maybe like having one day off, I look, ideally I'd like to say a week, but I'm gonna go a fortnight because I know that would probably kill me, because I really do enjoy my job, but like having one day where it's like it's like a reset for me, not necessarily house, not necessarily like business, but just having a day where, if I actually just want to take a day off, there's room for that. And I don't know, I just have like a pull to. I don't know like try new things, like learn new things, learn new school, like skills, like I'm not a very artistic person but like I've started to do little things around the house that feel good to me, like we've started doing some painting and we've done some diamond art and I noticed that like just having some more like time where my brain is like not focused on an outcome, it makes me feel a lot better because I'm very much outcome focused. Like you read a book to finish the book. You read a personal development book to learn, like you do a course learn. But I'm like a diamond art. I'm like I'm just gonna sit here and fucking put dots on. Yeah, like, what are you gonna do with it afterwards? Probably throw it in the bin? Well, we.

Speaker 1:

And like the other thing is like we are creating more spaces in our house for presents. Like so I feel like the next six months I just want to be devoted to like cleaning up my shit presence. Like so I feel like the next six months I just want to be devoted to like cleaning up my shit. Essentially, like I think it's kind of similar to my start of like organization, but it's not organization in a way of like strict. It's kind of like okay, well, how does my environment feel? Like outside, on our deck, we've just created like a little nook and it has like lights and it has curtains and it's like it just feels like a place that I want to be in. So I want to.

Speaker 1:

I think for the next six months, I want to be in places that I want to be in and I think, having this event that I went to, I'm like, oh, there are spaces that don't feel good to me and I want to be able to change that narrative for my family, but also I feel like I want to devote more time into the certification, because having that space where I didn't feel good in I'm like there's other people out there that don't have spaces to feel good in, so I think it's just more of like cleaning up things and creating more space and more I feel like safety, even in my house.

Speaker 1:

I'm like I want to be able to walk into my house and be like I'm good. I can just like cozy up and be a little like. The word worm came to my head, but like a little worm, like yeah, I just want to have more slowness, but like in a way that feels good and I feel like we've always done the. You know, slow down and you be present, like that very feminine, like energy, but I'm like what actually feels good to me and maybe potentially close some loops.

Speaker 1:

But like coming into 30, I'm like okay, like I didn't have an issue with it for the first six months of this year. I was just like cool, I'm 30 at the end of the year, like whatever, I don't actually care. And then my friend turned 30, like my best friend turned 30, and I was like holy shit, like my 20s are coming to an end. Was like holy shit, like my 20s are coming to an end. There was a lot that happened in my 20s and I'm like I just like to clean up some stuff, like some energy, let's close some chapters, like let's just go into my 30s, just feeling like, yeah, I guess, chilled out yeah, I feel like your 30s is like I'm mid-30s, now I'm 35, so I'm halfway through my 30s.

Speaker 2:

Now I feel like it's been the best, the best decade so far, though well, I'm only halfway through it. But then I was talking to another friend who's in her 40s and she's like, oh my god, she's like your 40s is so good. She's like I can't wait to see you in your 40s. And she's like, oh my God, she's like your 40s is so good. She's like I can't wait to see you in your 40s. And I'm just like, oh okay, I'm like I don't know if I'm ready to be 40.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think I just feel I mean having Matt who's like 10 years older, I'm like I'm always going to feel really young, so there's a benefit of dating somebody older. But he said to me the day it's just like you at 30, like even you now is more mature than me at 30, because I met Matt when he was 30 and I was just like, oh okay, I don't know how to take that. Am I boring? And so I feel like I want to, you know, use my last, like I guess, five months of like who am I? Who do I want to be stepping into this chapter but also not having a pressure? I don't feel like I do. I want to be stepping into this chapter but also not having a pressure. I don't feel like I have that pressure to be like I must be this way.

Speaker 1:

I feel like at the start of the year, like even though I said I wasn't worried about there was that pressure of like I've got 12 months but my last year of 20 is to be successful and do all of these things, where now I'm kind of like, oh okay, like I don't really have my shit together.

Speaker 1:

I'm probably not going to have my shit together. I'm never going to feel like I fully have my shit together. But how do I just want to enjoy the rest of my year and I definitely don't want to be doing that, sitting at my desk stressing about how I'm going to do all of these things when I've been in tougher positions and managed to like pull shit out of my ass. But I don't actually need to do that anymore. I feel like also the survival stuff has started to like slow down of like I'm not in survival mode anymore. My business is doing really well, like I have options and pathways and my relationship is good, even though sometimes we're going to kill each other. My kids are good Like. I feel like the accident showed me how much how I can go into survival mode very quickly and that I don't actually have to do that anymore, because it was like my 20s was like constant, like constant, like survive and start to live, and then something happens and it goes back to survive.

Speaker 2:

But I'm like I just want to live, love it last question maybe what do you know now about yourself that you didn't know six months ago, aside from the fact that you're freaking out about turning 30?

Speaker 1:

what do I know. Now I feel like I've been super humbled this year. I feel that a lot of my uh how do I word that? I wouldn't say conditioning, but I feel like there's still a lot of stuff that like I need to move through, but different to what I thought it was. So I'm like, okay, there is a lot of like this perfectionism.

Speaker 1:

Like when I started to get into it and I noticed it, I was like, oh yeah, like this is the first time in my life that I felt like a perfectionist, because I've always identified myself as someone who is messy and chaotic. But then I look back and I'm like, okay, well, what is the shadow of that? It's perfect. I've always been like chasing perfectionism, but I didn't realize that was something that was so huge in my life and I didn't know that about myself. I didn't know. I was just like, no, no, I'm just somebody who is messy and I'm just somebody who is chaotic. But it's like, oh no, you've been that way because you've never been out. You feel like you've never been able to reach perfectionism.

Speaker 1:

So I think it's that as well, as I feel like the relationship to myself has changed again because I went through this thing this year of like I don't understand why people are friends with me if that makes sense, like I never just seen that. I was just like, oh, I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand. And at the start of the year I'm like, yeah, I could tell you probably, like why people are friends with me. And then my relationship to myself changed and, I would say it, developed. So then it's like oh, now I have to really look at that again and be like who am I? Like my perception of self was actually a lot worse than I thought it was, so I wore a mask at the start of this year of being like, yeah, like this is who I am, like this is my true self, like whatnot.

Speaker 2:

But then I'm like oh shit, as like shit happened.

Speaker 1:

I'm like I'm having to take a mask off and be like, oh my god, people are actually seeing me and I didn't realize how much I'd been wearing that again. So like I mean, it's a very long answer, but I think it's more like I see so much more to myself, but there's so much more to do, like to feel, and I don't have to rush that, but I didn't realize how much more there was.

Speaker 2:

Such a slap in the face when you realize that yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but yeah, I think I maybe just how capable I am. I feel like over like the last, I don't know fucking decade. I feel like there's always been a like I have to lean on people, but I think the last six months, I'm like, oh, no, like I actually I actually have this. So I think, having all of this year, I'm like oh, no, no, no, like you are very capable and you are also highly independent sometimes, which is really annoying. Um, but yeah, I think just more of the capable and how much more there is to learn about myself. Love it, I can see your brain ticking.

Speaker 2:

I'm trying, just trying to decide. If I want to ask this, I think I do. If you could tell yourself one thing for when you were about to turn 20, so a decade like 10 years ago yeah, I know Fun one right, what would it be so interesting? Know fun one right, what would it be so interesting?

Speaker 1:

I'm not a huge fan of her at 20 but, um, I can see the fucking disdain on your face. You're like ill, oh god. Ah, I think, oh, it's really hard, that's a really hard question, because I'm like, oh, but then I'm like I understand why I didn't like her. But then I'm also like it's not really your fault that you didn't like her Because, like, she wore a lot of masks as well. But I think it would just be oh, what would I tell her? Oh, this is really sad.

Speaker 1:

I would just tell her that, like, remind her that she is loved, like I can't give her any advice, because the next fucking ten years for you is wild, was wild, um, maybe right um good luck um, you're gonna have no idea, but maybe just like you are loved, like something that I was actually reflected to me the other day by Matt and I was like fuck off, and he's just like we're talking about love. And he's just like, yeah, but you just love love. And I was just like, yeah, doesn't everybody I love to be loved. But obviously that proving thing comes in of like I really want to be loved and I want to be loved unconditionally. That proving thing comes in of like I really want to be loved and I want to be loved unconditionally for who I am.

Speaker 1:

So I think something that she really wanted at that stage of her life was to know that she is loved and at at 1920, she just pushed so many people away because she's like you essentially have to prove to me huh, funny, have to prove to me why you love me. So I'm going to push you to the absolute brink and if you don't come back, I knew I know why yeah, but if you manage to get past all these walls, then of course you love me. When now I'm like don't be an idiot and hurt people, just to be loved. So yeah, I think it would just remind her that she is loved.

Speaker 2:

Love it Cool. Yay, thanks for letting me pick your brain.

Speaker 1:

It's always fun for me. I went on many tangents.

Speaker 2:

That's just my life. That's how we roll. Thank you for joining us. If you have made it to the very end to hear all about lorinda's year, or reflection of the first half of this year, ren, you've obviously made some changes in your business, so what does working with you look like for the second half of this year, if anybody?

Speaker 1:

crazy. So, yes, um, I have one to one spots open and now, because the membership has closed, um, there is more spots open for that. So we have three and six month containers and when you sign on as a one-to-one, you do have the option to continue extending. Like you will be the VIP for that. Like. Just because you have three months doesn't mean that you can't continue. A lot of my clients sign up for either three or six months and I've had clients for the last two years. So it means that those spots don't necessarily open up all of the time, but there is a few open right now. Then we have the retreat.

Speaker 1:

So we have the October retreat coming up and I only take six women inside of that just for the intimacy factor. So it's really for the woman who I guess a beautiful mirror for myself is the woman that does everything for everybody, because they they want to be able to give love, but they also want to learn how to receive it, because as soon as they receive it they feel like they have to give something back.

Speaker 2:

So it's like maybe you could go to your own retreat this year hence why we do this new level every time.

Speaker 1:

Um, but also like the one who, who has a lot of relationship wounds, has a lot of wounds around, like receiving love and letting people in and also using their voice, like the whole weekend is an embodiment of who you are, and having a retreat means that your roles and responsibilities are now stripped down right. We use our roles and responsibilities in our life as a mask, as a way to keep moving forward and not realizing that we actually get to be with ourselves and be present with ourselves to live the life that we want. So, coming to my retreat, you're actually really taken care of. You don't cook, you don't do groceries, you don't do any of that. You just come and be the woman that you are, which can feel really scary if you're not sure, but we hold you in that. So we have those spots left.

Speaker 1:

All of the links for this is in my bio and then for, I guess, coaches or people who are wanting to become coaches. I do really love my role inside SAC, so essentially, it's a space where you can come and learn to be a safe, embodied coach, because that's something that I feel like a lot of people miss is the embodiment. Just because you have more work to do doesn't mean that you're a bad coach, doesn't mean that you're a bad person, but it's like meeting more of yourself. So we have an immersion. I believe the next one is in November. So if you're wanting to, yeah, I guess step into shadow work and coaching, that's a really great way to come in. Or if you're already a coach, listening to this and wanting to add to your skill set, like I really love it because it's not like a one and done certification, like Steph sometimes comes, jumps in on the calls when she has space and we do like three calls a month so I get to see your face over and over and over again. So, yeah, you can always message me about information for that and then I can redirect you to Caitlin. And then the other way that you can see my face is in the Feminine Wealth Club.

Speaker 1:

So that's a membership run by Jasmine. She is a business coach. She is very knowledgeable in strategy and ads and like cleaning up your business, like I've done a lot of like cleaning up of my own business this year with her. So now I'm stepping into the role of doing the mindset stuff, the shadow work stuff. When you're running a business, it is personal development on crack. There's always shit that comes up. So instead of her trying to manage both, she's doing the strategy and I'm doing the mindset of that. So this membership is actually a one-off fee and then you're in for life, which to me, still saying that is crazy. So if you're a business owner wanting to, uh, you have a little bit more strategy or shadow work, then that's a really great way as well, and I do have a code, I believe, so you just message me and then I can send you that. So four ways one-to-one retreat coaches who are wanting to step into shadow work, through shadow alchemy certification and then feminine moth club beautiful crazy.

Speaker 2:
