I hope you’ve been having a stellar week.

This week has been momentous for me on every level. My sons and I finally moved into our new home after 9 years of renting. We couldn’t be more excited if we tried! I am so grateful to my amazing community of friends who have been so supportive, as well as my generous family. I am beyond grateful that Sacred Women’s Business is everything I could have ever hoped for in a business and more – flexibility, love, sustenance, sustainability, spiritual insight and abundance. I am also beyond grateful to my amazing clients who consistently bring the qualities of courage, inspiration and hope every day into my working life. Thank you to all of you for being such a cherished part of my world and for bringing such a spark into my business.

This week I’ve been reflecting on what a difference it has made to become more aware of the stories I’ve been telling myself about how busy I am. When I catch myself in the ‘poor me’ of managing my full life, I’ve been reminding myself of something a wise friend said to me not long ago. She said, ‘I feel so lucky to have such a rich life.’ I couldn’t agree more with her. Yes, life is beyond hectic. I’ve just moved house, I’m supporting one of my sons to play rep futsal and soccer and the other son to pursue his love of music, I’m single parenting and my business has wings right now. I’ve got a waiting list of clients and I’m finishing my book and co-writing another. I’m still loving my yoga practice and relief teaching for a friend and preparing to teach next year.…. AND it’s all my choice. I want to live a rich life. I am not a victim of my busy-ness – far from it. I have chosen it because I have the luxury of making that choice. What a luxury it is to be able to choose to do the three things I love most in the entire world: coach, teach and write. Contemplating conscious business practices would have to be one of the biggest luxuries a woman could ever have in this world. Whilst I understand that time out for self-nourishment is so important, I also don’t feel truly entitled to have a ‘poor me I’m so busy’ moment when so many women in the world right now don’t have such a choice. Or such luxuries.

Reframing the luxury of being able to work for yourself is an empowering step. Yes, I agree, sometimes running a business feel a little like swapping a 9-5pm job for the same hours only greater self-responsibility. But would you truly be happy working for someone else now that you know how good it feels to be self-determining in your business?

I salute you for being courageous enough to be yourself so that all that you do in your business is coming from genuine alignment with who you are at your core. There is nothing you have to ‘do’ to be worthy. When I reflect on why I choose to be busy, I also know how important it is to not be ‘doing’ in order to prove my self-worth or to fill a void, to be worthwhile or to make my life count. Life also feels so much easier when I’m just being myself no matter how full my list is.

‘Being’ really is enough. Being here, being you and bringing the quality of fully being in every moment – is all that is necessary and everything else that flows in through your business is a bonus. What a relief! Being yourself is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give. It creates so much spaciousness when you’re suffering from overwhelm. This week, I support you to simply be you. Be you in everything you do on your to-do list, unapologetically and unselfconsciously, give yourself permission to be yourself and see how it flips you from ‘doing’ into ‘being’.

This week I have some offerings for you to say thank-you for being part of my community and part of the beauty that has supported me to create the business of my dreams so that I can support you to create the business of your dreams.

The first is an interview about following the path of your soul that I did with my inspiring friend from Positive Peeps, Kristal Brown. Kristal is such an incredible young woman who is making breakthroughs in her soul-based business every day. She has amazing Chrissy gifts available through her store at Positive Peeps so make sure you check it out. While you’re there, sign up and get her free poster so that you can hear all the latest news to support and nourish you.

This comprehensive & holistic (physical, mental, emotional, energetic & spiritual) approach will facilitate a vibrant relationship with the female body (body wisdom & intelligence), cultivate internal balance within the pelvic region (a woman’s fundamental power & creative centre), and restore overall radiant well-being (feminine vitality ~ balancing the masculine & feminine energetics).
