I have had moments lately when I have been asked to be somewhere, and I immediately said yes because I felt that I needed to be in a certain place.
One of those times was being invited to a publicity summit in NYC. I really did not need to go, and yet there was a part of me that said yes. I even talked with my amazing and wonderful PR person, Jacquie Jordan, and she told me that all PR is great, and that although I am beyond needing to attend that event, to follow my own gut. She then later told me that it would be good for me to attend because anything could come out of it. So I did.
The event was about to start, and I was sitting on my bed feeling so lost. I was talking to my editor Danielle and telling her, “I have no idea why I am here.” And she assured me that something would reveal itself to me. And boy, did it ever!
When I was talking to a producer from ABC she asked me, “Out of all these experts, why would I choose you as a guest?” I gave her my answer, and then felt I really needed to know why me? It is not about others, but about what I bring and why a producer would want to call me. So I called Jacquie because she always sees me and my media potential. She gave me such a boost and told me, “Because you are an example of a woman who has it all. You have a great body. You have a great relationship. You have two healthy kids. You have a successful business. You literally have what most women want.” She went on and said some beautiful things about me, and when I hung up the phone, I was beyond feeling great.
So I marched back into the media room, and the first person I saw was a freelance writer for New York Magazine. I went up to her and said, “What do all New York women want?” And this is how the conversation went:
“What?”
“They want it all.”
“I don’t believe women can have it all. Do you know anyone that has it all?”
“Yes, I know many women that have it all, including me.”
I went on to repeat all the things that Jacquie had told me, and as I was doing this she cut me off and said, “I won’t be needing your information. You need to read this book that talks about how women can’t have it all. I don’t believe women can have it all.”
So I looked at her and said, “And therein lies the problem.”
I was so fired up, and frankly, pissed off. I was so mad that anyone would write a book and tell someone what they could or could not have. I was mad that anyone would try to limit another person by what they believed to be true. I was so mad that without defining properly what “having it all” meant, someone could just say to another person that they can’t have what they desire.
This went against everything I live, teach, and believe.
And then the reason I was supposed to be at that summit came to me. The book. The download. My next baby.
It took only a few weeks for all of the information to come through me, and I am so excited to say that I am pregnant with my next baby (not a human—a book) and she will be born on February 25th.
Then last month I was asked to speak in Palm Springs at a Law of Attraction conference. I immediately said yes. I don’t know why, but something within me said yes because I needed to be there. I was already going to be in San Diego that weekend for a fun networking event with people like Rich German, Morgana Ray, Sage Lavine, Christine Klosure, Eva Gregory, and Lisa Sasavich, so I said yes.
The night before my speaking engagement, I was feeling lost again. I was even eating really badly and asked myself what is the reason for my poor choices in food and sugar? And then it hit me. “I don’t want to be seen. I don’t want to get up and talk. I want to be home with my husband and kids and not be out there. I don’t want to be out of my comfort zone.”
And so I processed the fear. I processed the uncertainty for why I was there in the first place. And then I got up on that stage and let the light and information shine through me.
I was absolutely touched, because after I spoke I had so many people that were already in my community come and tell me how much they enjoyed that and how their lives are being changed with the information I share. I had nine students from the QSCA—who were going through or had graduated from the program—come see me and share with me their amazing perceptions and experiences of the QSCA and how much they have transformed.
I once again knew the reason for being on that stage and why I said yes—it was because this information about universal laws changes lives. And I needed that perspective shift in order to appreciate what I do on a deeper level.
That night I went back to my hotel room and was so inspired by all the amazing people I met that I wrote ten new Quantum Success shows.
So when you feel something within you that says yes to something, and you feel an uncomfortable uncertainty, be open because there are such wonderful gifts coming through that uncertainty.
Thank you for being part of my community! You are my family
