So this is the hey. Hey, you guys. I am back
with a fresh episode on insights
from my trip from Bali. I hope you
guys enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed putting it
together.
Okay? Now
I'm going to go live in just
a minute.
Okay?
If I can go live. We're about to find out.
Greetings, I am back from Bali.
For those of you who are watching me live, my T shirt could not be
more timely with the word grateful written across
it. So excited to be back from my ten day
retreat from Bali, and I'm bringing to you guys a
special episode on insights from my trip
as I speak to you, a little nasally. I travel for ten days. I go
across the globe and catch nothing. I come home to kids with a cold
and now I've got one. So there you go. So
pardon the nasallyness, if that's a word.
So why, first of all, did I even go to
Bali? And we're going to get into this today, but it was really about
consciously surrendering and letting go of the reins. And I'll speak
more to that in a minute. But what you're going to hear
about in this episode today, the key takeaways that
I'm going to talk about with my trip to Bali were,
one, the concept of conscious surrendering. So we're going to talk about
that why I went on this journey. Number two, we're going to talk
about lessons in traversing the unknown.
We're also going to talk about the gratitude
of the country and what I brought home from
experiencing a level I'd never experienced before when it comes
to gratitude, we're going to talk about
experiences over things, going to talk about
that. And then also the power of the
energy and the energetic vortex and just the key term
energy as it relates to Bali. So that's what
I'm going to talk about today. So let's just jump right
in to the conscious surrendering piece because I got a lot
of questions from a lot of people who are like, oh my God, what are
you doing going all the way across the globe to Bali? I've got
these three little kids and these businesses and well, my first response is,
why the hell not? I actually
love the life I've created and the schedule I've created because
I don't have to wait till I retire to hop a plane and spend
ten days somewhere experiencing a different culture in a different world.
Not necessarily a different world, but it felt like a different world. And so why
the hell not, right? But secondly, there actually was intention
around it. And counterintuitive as it sounds, the
intention was to surrender being in control. The intention
was to stop holding the reins, being in charge
right after an epic run, literally a week after
closing down our launch, where we did nearly a million dollars in sales in
less than two weeks. Becoming a best selling author for the second
time. All of this happening in the same month, right? It was time
to slow down and ask the universe,
what does it want from me?
I've been so blessed. I have incredible clients
who've said, yes, what does the
universe want more of? It was time to pause and
listen about what's to come for
2024, right? What's the next level?
What's ascension for me? What does growth look like? And unless you're still
and create space to receive, how
will you ever get clarity, right? So it was time for
me to go there and really, I'll tell you and we'll talk a little bit
about this later, but I was able to get massive downloads
on my direction for the next year, right? We'll talk about
it in a little bit. But I would have never had the space had I
not taken this trip to consciously surrender and be that
creative and tap into my subconscious and create the
space I was consciously allowing to
receive. I want to use. This word
calculated receptivity literally paving a
path creating space blocking out all the
noise so that I could receive and be a student
be an open vessel. Because I spend the large majority of my
days every day being the teacher, being the
boss, being the mom, being the leader, being the decision maker.
Right? Being the visionary. And so it was a time to
receive the gift and the bounty I had received from
working hard and receive the feminine
principle of receptivity, right? So it
was a beautiful place to receive, a spiritual place to receive.
I will also say I've been on my own spiritual journey the past two years
and I have just been on this incredible high of connection to
God, to my source, and was really, really
enjoying that path and creating even more space and stillness
to listen and communicate to my higher
source and what the universe wants more of
from me so that I can make a larger impact in this world. So hopefully
that makes sense. That was my
prime reason for going number one and number two,
because I can. Okay, so
what did I learn while I was there? What I
learned is, again, I just want to recap on this, that
we have to slow down, right, in order to
receive and actually slow down and give thanks.
I'm going to talk a little bit about this in a minute. Just the gratitude
piece, but giving thanks, it's very easy. I
caught myself and my whole team. Like, we're done with launch. So we did almost
a million in sales in less than, like, 14 days. We became a best
selling author, like, 22 of our clients did. We jump on a call
and literally, we're talking about what's next. Like, literally, we're talking
about the next launch. We're talking about the next goals. And it's like, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Let's pump the brakes. Let's
receive the bounty that has come our way
and let's consciously pause right
in this space. And not just
pause, but give thanks. Give
gratitude, right? The shirt, the gratitude, the
magnanimity. I can't tell you how many times
during that ride of success, right
before I went to Bali that I was literally on my knees bawling
with gratitude for what was manifesting in my life,
right? And so this leads me to what was going on in Bali when I
landed. See, they were in the midst of a
twelve day celebration and I didn't know this.
I landed on their twelveTH day of celebration that
was focused around gratitude. And this key
day that I landed on was called Canning Day.
And it was so timely that I showed up on this day because so many
locals were in the streets celebrating with
gratitude. The children had the gongs and the
bells and they were dancing and they were singing and they had these huge
animal like figures that they were all standing under and moving
in the streets. And they have this key term that's
called sucks. Sucks Manning.
Indeed. Sucks manning in deep. And the term is all
thanks are given for the blessings during human
life, for whatever has been achieved and
found is important to be grateful.
It gives me chills. I did not know when I landed in
Bali on this day that this is what was going on. Yet I was
on such a personal and spiritual
and business high from my own life
and landing in Bali in an immense space of
gratitude to literally pause and give
freaking thanks. Right? It was oozing out of
the know. It's called the island of God. There's
more temples per square mile than anywhere on the planet.
They ooze gratitude. They have every house has a temple. They give
gratitude and an offering to every morning when they get in their car,
there's an offering to give thanks. Where they go for work has an
offering on the front and an altar to give thanks.
Right? I attended a new moon ceremony that
lasted for 3 hours
oozing with gratitude to Mother Earth, to the
sky, to all that we have received. Literally just
an energetic focus on thank you, thank you,
thank you. And what I want to underscore here that was
just eye opening for me is
that the average income in that country is $250
a month.
$250 a month. See, the large
majority of people who live on that island have never left it because
they can't afford to get off the island. But one
of the things I noticed is that there was no homelessness in the
streets here at home. There's a lot of mental illness that contributes to a lot
of homelessness, right? Even though we're the most abundant
gluttonous country in the world, there's this disproportionate
amount of mental illness and homelessness,
even though in this country the average person makes $250
a year. I mean, a month. I didn't see anyone
homeless begging for anything. All I saw was a culture
of people with a huge grin and smile on their
face, immensely grateful to be alive,
immensely grateful for their island, for
life. Oozing with it. And as a matter of fact,
one of the drivers told me, he said,
I know the success that you Americans have, it comes at a
cost. He said, It may sound crazy, but we're not jealous of
your life. We know what comes with all that success.
You have to keep up with all the things you buy. And
the thing that really rung true to me is he said, you're here on a
ten day vacation because you need a break. He said, Americans
have so much mental stress from their careers
that they literally need to take vacation to get away from it.
He said, US, in Bali, we don't need a vacation. We love our
lives. We work hard physically. We go to bed, we wake up, and we are
so happy, and we're ready to work again. We don't need
vacation dates. And I thought,
wow, that was serious
perspective that he knows what
monetary things are out there. He knows financially
how successful some folks are, but
they aren't jealous for it because they know that it comes at a cost.
And they're such a happy, healthy culture,
which now is so obvious to me because of their
immense gratitude from the moment they wake to the moment they go to
bed. Right. Their mindset, they are
literally programming their mind on a daily basis. Oozing
of gratitude, right? So good.
Another thing I learned, the fear of the
unknown is not so
scary. You guys have heard me talk about this in entrepreneurship,
so I'm going to fold in some analogies here, but believe it or
not, I was nervous to travel to Bali all by
myself. Beyond traveling to Canada and
Mexico, I have not traveled internationally by
myself ever other than Canada and Mexico. I was in
Europe over a decade ago with my husband, but I've never
traipsed 36 hours on planes by
myself somewhere to a foreign country where the native language
isn't English, right? So there was a lot of unknown that had me
really uncomfortable, and I almost didn't go
for fear of getting stuck somewhere and not knowing the language and not
being able to change planes. That may sound silly to some of you
guys, right? But what I learned as I traversed the world
and made it to Bali was that I had that power
within myself to get there the whole time.
I just needed to trust the process. I
needed to trust myself. I needed to have
confidence in myself. And by being willing to take that
leap of faith, not knowing exactly what
was on the other side, I didn't even know the people I was staying with.
We're going to talk about that in a minute. It revealed to me a
totally entire new portal
of unknown when it comes to world travel.
It opened my eyes prior to getting on that plane and traveling
across the world by myself. I was
unconsciously incompetent. I did not know
what I didn't know about traveling the globe, and so I feared
it. By traveling the globe, I became
consciously incompetent, meaning I
realized how little I knew about the rest of the
world by traveling to this one geographic
location across the world. Now I'm
consciously realizing I'm incompetent in learning so many
cultures, so many religions, so many
cuisines, right? All the things. And so I
know there's so much more to learn. And it's just like business.
If we stay comfortable with what we know in business,
we never tap into new portals for quantum
expansion. Right?
I'd never done over $300,000 in sales in a
launch before. I did almost a million dollars in sales in a
launch. I hadn't been there before. Right? It was
uncharted territory. I didn't know unless I
got uncomfortable for the expansion of what was ahead. It's the same
way with my travel. I didn't know until
I tapped into those portals to see, right? And it was
like, wow, I want to do this again. I've got so many
places I want to go now. Right? Another unknown that
was really, really interesting for me. I didn't know who I was
sharing my house with in Bali. I asked. I am like an
enneagram eight who likes to be in control. And even though I was
consciously surrendering, I still wanted to control who was
there, because in my mind, I energetically wanted to
be matched with successful entrepreneurs who were similar
or further along than me because I wanted to learn from them. I always say
I like to be the dumbest, brokest person in the room, right? But that's
business. And I had to remind myself I wasn't on this
trip for business. I was on this trip spiritually and for personal
growth. And what I realized
is that some of the greatest growth happened
for me from some of the most unsuspecting people that were in
that room. What happened and transpired in
this retreat was that the large majority of people there were about
a decade younger than me and a number of steps earlier
on than me in their business growth. And it was a
priceless opportunity for me as a business owner to
literally live in a house with people who are
really exactly like the clients that I serve. You see, I get to
coach my clients across zoom. I get to see them on occasion at live
events. But to live in a house with entrepreneurs
who are in the early stages and hearing again and being reminded of the
early level challenges the mindset
blocks, the personal growth that needs to happen.
The journey that they have to embark on grounded
me and got me more connected with my
current clients. And there was actually a participant
there who reminded me of my children.
Okay. Her breakthroughs and her
inner child work that we all did were a mirror to me
as a parent with my kids back at home.
And one of the first things I did when I got home was actually have
direct conversations with my kids. Right. There
were other attendees there that were married, there were couples, and that reminded me
of my husband and I and the journey that we're on together. And
so where I'm going with this is that the unknown of who was in the
group was the magic in my own personal growth
of realizing I don't always need to be put into a room that's going
to grow me in business that many times.
It's the most unsuspecting people who can grow you personally.
Right. And professionally. Right. Experiences
over money. One of the things I noticed again, we talked about the average
income of $250 a month I had on
my vision board before the end of this year to buy a G Wagon. And
I came away from Bali realizing how little these people live
with and how happy they are and how a G Wagon was
not something I really needed. And as a matter of fact, even though it's a
nice car and I love driving it, let's be
honest, those types of purchases are actually for
ego and perception, like literally buying
something for what other people think about your
status, right? Yes, I love the G Wagon, but I have an
Infinity QX 80, which is a really nice high end car to begin with.
And I started running the numbers, and I was like this first
class because Mama went first class. This first class
trip to Bali was, bar none, the best investment
because I was so comfortable. I slept all the way there, I slept
all the way back. I was so rejuvenated and full of energy when I got
there, I started running the numbers, and I'm like a family of five.
We could take three to four first class flights
across the globe to, like, South Africa to Australia, to
Thailand instead of an
ego purchase of a G Wagon. Right? And so
my mindset really shifted around
things, and I've always had more of a focus on
experience. But my ego wanted the G Wagon,
right? My ego wanted the G wagon. The last thing I want to land
on here was the energy vortex of Bali.
For those of you guys who are into the energy and body work, I have
been over the last two years in a major growth in what we call
spiritual ascension. And I and my
energetics coach, my spiritual coach talked about this the day I got there. We did
some really deep holotropic breath work that can really get at the
root of your nervous system. And I had some
huge energetic releases. Huge.
I can't even explain to you the jolts that came
out of my body, the outer body experiences that I had
and even just like how unsettled my legs
were the first two days, really working to
release these last final shedding of old energy to
this final level in this level of ascension that I'm going
through. It was mind blowing and incredible.
But bali is an energy vortex similar to sedona. For those of you
guys who research that type of stuff. The energy healers
there were incredible coming from kind of a western
medicine PharmD training. I found it
fascinating. The body workers who practiced Chinese
medicine and could literally rub their hands on my belly,
check my pulse and look at my tongue and tell me when my period was
going to start, how healthy my heart was, how my lipids
were. It was mind
blowing. How they practice medicine in a completely
different way and get the same results, right? And
so we did a lot of work, energy work. Some
really incredible spiritual ceremonies, cacao
ceremonies. People from across the globe. Therefore,
their spiritual journey and connectedness. This
universal connectedness. It wasn't one single religion. It wasn't just
Budhism or Hinduism or Muslim or Christian. It was
really just spirituality and connectedness to all right
and purpose. Which leads me to that
consciously allowing time where I was able to slow down, listen
to my intuition and get the tugs, get the cues. I've had this
gut pull all year, but I got profound,
profound cues and signs for my next chapter,
for impact, for impact for others in
business and their life. And I actually completely
birthed an entirely new program while I'm there all the way
down to the month by month curriculum. And because I
created the space and I cleared
the energetic path, I
accomplished creating the vision, the
output and a program literally within two
to three days that had I tried to just force myself
to figure it out. While being at home in the chaos and
the push and the leading of my team and the coaching of my clients. It
would have taken me months and likely wouldn't have had the exact
clarity and connection and tethering
to the anchor of the output of it spiritually and
impact. Right. And I know I'm going super woo for some of you
guys, but it was life changing.
And so where I'll land with that is I birds a new program. It won't
be coming out till the new year, I haven't even
named it yet, but it's going to hinge around the modern entrepreneur where bodies
build businesses with mind, body and spirit for expansion
in business. And I am bringing in the absolute experts who've
helped me ascend over the past two years in mind, body
and spirit that has created massive expansion where I've grown
my business 400% since last year while
getting the healthiest and the happiest I've ever gotten. And those were the major
downloads I had while I was in Bali is it's not just business
strategy. This program is not going to be another guru telling you
exactly the business strategy. It's going to be about learning to tap into your own
intuition and get connected so that you can make the next
steps confidently from your internal
north compass. Right. And I'll be hinging on a lot of
the scientific background I have around nervous
system dysregulation and the modalities to get regulated so that
energetically. We are on fire, right? Oh, my gosh. I could talk about
this forever. But speaking of being on fire, this girl has to wrap up because
I've got a coaching haul in two minutes. That is my recap for you from
my trip from Bali. If you're curious or inspired about my
upcoming program, there will be some information in the show
notes about getting on the waitlist. Or you can email

co. You can email us at team

So hope to see you guys on our next episode. See you live
somewhere. If you're watching this recently, I hope to see you
in Nashville in a couple of weeks. Some of the core
collaborators for this future program next year are going to be speaking
on stage in Nashville. I cannot wait. I hope you guys have
a wonderful afternoon.
