Simply Embracing Everything

It simply means embracing everything I’m experiencing. Everything!

For example, running out of money at age 40 turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me, because that was the moment I stopped being afraid of running out of money. That was the moment I discovered I could run out of money and my heart and soul were still intact, and I was still worthy of love. That’s the moment everything changed for me.

I literally made ten times this year what I made last year, with the same effort, and all because I ran out of money.

• My lovely new lady.
• My ever-deepening awareness of who I truly am.
• All the magic I get to experience every day with so many exquisite people.

At the core of my coaching practice, whether with individuals or couples, I essentially help people shift from living in an everyday mindset of fear—which can be very subtle and still sabotage what you most want—to living in an embodied mindset of love.

A mindset of love gives you access to being grateful for everything because you see how everything that happens is always serving you in some way, even if that way is simply taking you deeper into living grounded in the truth of who you really are, and with an open heart.

Even though I ran out of money just over a year ago and everything started to shift, I still had to do some deep inner work around my fear of losing money. At the core of that struggle was this belief: “If I don’t have money, I can’t participate in life!”

I’ve done deep inner work around this fear with my own coach, who was quite expensive at more than $40,000—a whole lot more than I even made in all of 2014.

That struggle, the work I’ve done around it, and my deep commitment not to choose fear in my thinking about money—but instead to choose love, possibility, and gratitude around whatever money I have—have created an abundance I couldn’t even imagine possible last year.
