The subject of today’s podcast… How Has Covid Impacted Your Life? Do You Have A Story to Tell?

There isn’t a person alive today that hasn’t been impacted in some way by these times. Have you lost a loved one? Did you or a family member become ill and overcome it? Did you loose a job or have your career impacted in some way? How have you struggled and have you prevailed? What did you learn in isolation about yourself or how you live? Did you have a massive awakening or transformation that you underwent? How have you needed to pivot in your career in order to pay the bills? How about home-schooling - have you needed to find a way to educate your kids? What story do you have to tell about what you’ve been through, how you’ve transformed, or what you were a part of creating during this last year?

If you have found yourself in a new spiritual practice, re-located, found a new job, or come out different the other side of this unique time in human history with knowledge to share then you likely have a story to tell. Many people have had to readjust their lives to cope with these massive shifts in consciousness, human struggle, overcoming fear, re-defining relationships with government or corporations that have not behaved in a manner one might have expected, or spiritual leaders or churches that took a position in opposition to expected beliefs or behaviors, and then there is the medical system. We’ve all become witness to a massive awakening on some level. What is your story?

Perhaps you’ve developed or worked through some emotional, physical, or spiritual wounds in this time or you’ve learned a few new coping mechanisms or tools worth sharing with others? Perhaps you learned more about the importance of community or honoring your own truth by cutting people from your life that were no longer serving you. Or perhaps you found out that your inner circle of family or friends is more toxic than you realized? Or maybe you watched some in your circle transform into a new human during this time and you never in your wildest dreams imagined that. Or maybe you learned who in your life is capable of handling trauma or change and who is not.

I found this quote to share that you might appreciate:

“Progress through something traumatic, it’s not linear. It’s not like we go from unhealthy to healthy, failure to success. I think it’s all circular. You just come back around to the same pain, and the same loneliness. But each time you come back around, you’re stronger from the climb.”

Personally, I believe this time has been a gift in so many ways. We are seeing what isn’t grounded in truth fall apart. In order to create space for new things in life, we have to let go of everything that is no longer serving. I believe this is how all wonderful new things begin.

And, in a quiet world or a place of solitude we are forced to be with our own thoughts and behaviors. We might have been forced to look at all the things not working now or throughout our whole lives. We’ve had to face where we’ve been rejected, abandoned, betrayed, or where any other injustices have occurred. We’ve been forced to confront all of our wounds and perhaps we have had the opportunity to learn our gifts.

Perhaps, like me, you’ve learned where you never allowed yourself to shine because of the way others have treated you? Maybe you’ve become witness to your own glory by stepping away from the noise and sitting with yourself? Maybe you had a few days during lock downs where you learned you were not allowing your strengths to shine? Perhaps you’ve allowed life challenges and beliefs that have been projected by others to overtake and trump your achievements. Perhaps you’ve realized how emotionally available and spiritually healthy you are…or are not.

Perhaps you’ve reflected on all the hard work you’ve done in your lifetime and what you’ve accomplished? Have you learned where you could be stepping up in your authentic power more? Sometimes we shy away from showcasing pieces of ourselves when we are different from the norm. Maybe during covid lock downs you saw your friends, family, and coworkers reacting in fear of a virus and others fearing that many were falling in line with a dark agenda.

We’ve seen awakened souls and unawakened souls reacting differently with certain levels of awareness throughout, but where do you stand and how have you shifted in the last year? Have you grown more compassion? Have you been trying to awaken asleep souls? Or have to now moved beyond awakening others and into building a beautiful new future for yourself as we move from 3D to 5D reality? Have you followed the crowd, stepped out on your own, or simply watched and witnessed? Where have you realized your transformation? Do you feel like more of a reck, more empowered, or wanting to empower others?

We cannot deny that this time has brought many things to human awareness. It’s brought many things to the entire planet, but how does it all reside within you? Are you hopeful or hopeless? What have you been through and how can you share this with others in the form of a book? Did you know that people love to read stories of what others have overcome? What obstacles did you overcome and how can you lead others through the changes you have navigated? Is it your time to write a book and share your stories? The lessons you have learned are valuable! The only way we can all grow and change the world is by telling our story and sharing. We are all in this together. Raise your voice and make a change!

When you are ready to share your transformational experiences during this unprecedented time in human history please let me know and I’d be happy to help you publish a book! I will guide you on the best approach to leverage the material into a desirable outcome professionally and personally. I look forward to working with you when you’re ready!

But for now, I’m wishing you peace, love, and light!
