Hello,
Welcome.
My name is Lew Redman.
Thank you for listening.
I hope you find this supportive.
I've been sober for 10 years.
I've also been a solopreneur for 10 years.
Often our healing and creative journey go hand in hand.
It's as natural as an apple ripening on a tree.
As we transform ourselves,
Our creativity opens and the fruit of our healing makes a contribution to the world.
Many people who do this become teachers,
Healers,
Or guides.
They are often forced into this category called coaching,
Which doesn't capture the essence of what they do.
The coaching industry gets a bad rap.
People want to make it wrong because it's unregulated.
Sure,
Some toxic players will take advantage of an unregulated system.
The sermon is important.
But does anyone question this need for something to be regulated?
Why are we so obsessed with following the rules laid out by others?
Maybe because we're still waiting for someone to give us a gold star and say,
Good job,
You're doing it right.
If we stack enough letters after our name and certifications on our wall,
People will think we're legit.
However,
That's not empowerment.
It's dependence.
We're brainwashed for approval because we don't trust our innate resourcefulness and we don't trust the intelligence of our soul.
Anyone who wants something to be regulated should spend a week in nature.
They'll see nothing regulated by anything,
Yet everything is in harmony and unfolding exactly as it should.
God is the great regulator.
Nature doesn't need a certification board.
What if our human nature was part of the same unfolding?
What if we are encoded with everything we need to express and thrive?
Remember,
We are a speck of dust on a planet spinning through outer space in a universe that is infinitely expanding.
Yet we're scared to post about our new business or something on Instagram because,
Oh my gosh,
What will my sister-in-law think?
It's helpful to remember,
It won't matter.
No one cares.
We're going to die.
If we can feel those things in the best way possible,
We become free of the little box we put ourselves in.
Free to take the leap,
Start the business,
Share the post,
Write the book,
Say the thing.
And yes,
Get the certification if it calls to you.
But don't think that it will give you the worthiness you seek.
As our buddy Joseph Campbell said,
If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step,
You know it's not your path.
Your own path you make with every step you take.
That's why it's your path.
Put in other words,
If you're following someone else's method,
There's no room for your unique gifts to blossom.
I get it,
We're scared.
We just want someone to tell us the answers.
We want someone to give us the procedure,
Give us the step by step formula.
But that is not what our spiritual journey is.
That is not where our true essence,
Our true fulfillment,
Our true expression lies.
It's in taking that next step,
Even when we don't know what is on the other side.
And so I share this message as a boost of motivation for you to get out there.
And whatever way that means for you,
For you to stop waiting for permission,
Stop waiting for other people to give you the green light,
To take the step,
Start the thing and know that you are being supported,
You are being directed.
It is like a GPS system.
You go off track,
You're going to get directed back on.
But we need to go off track sometimes to get back on track.
So know that I am rooting for you.
Get out there.
Thank you so,
So much for listening.
If you like this,
Let me know in the comments.
I love hearing from you.
I don't always get back to everyone,
But I promise I see every comment.
And I will say that if you're liking this boost of motivation and you're looking for a little bit more,
I have a course called Five Principles to Build Confidence,
Create Momentum and Activate Your Soul's Work.
You're going to learn these five principles that you can take with you and are really going to just be bite-sized words and phrases that are going to help you remember and move forward when things get tough,
When fear shows up.
So please go check out that course if you're feeling like you need the boost.
Thank you so much.
And I'll connect with you again very soon.
