Today's episode is all about finding the balance and honouring duality. 

Because the world we live in is all about duality. the ‘whole’  is made up of two opposed but complementary forces.

Be it masculine and feminine, yin and yang, shakti and shiva, fire and water, the sun and the moon. We cannot have one without the other because this creates harmony.

As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul

In business you need to balance between the strategy, and the practical action steps, and the emotional and psychological aspects. 

The masculine energy of doing, being busy, organised and analytical and the feminine aspects, of flow and surrender, creativity, multi-tasking and allowing things to unfold as they should.  The everyday hustle, verses, learning just how to be and why we need it all. 

Because when we get stuck in just working and hustling really really hard in our business. We forget that the reason we were put on this earth is to enjoy life. Enjoy the human experience. And when you find that you come from a really, really fulfilled state of being within yourself and you're serving from that place. That is when you magnetically attract the people that you want to work with, because if you're not filling up your own cup. And that comes down to, I know for me, I really need to fulfill my spiritual and emotional cup, before I can serve others. Honoring your own self care so that you can be the best version of you to serve others.  So, whatever it is that you believe in, whatever it is that you get joy from, whatever form of self care you need to indulge in. It could be crystals, meditation or prayer, it could be going for a hike or just having a cuppa in the sun. whatever that looks like. We need to have that balance.

 we need to be able to sit still and be grounded. And that is part of our feminine nature as women you know as men, they tend to get stuck in the action and the practical and the strategy. And that's great. And, you know, that's probably why they have dominated the business space for so long, but as women, we also have the added benefit of learning to listen to our intuition and get creative and the only way we can do that if we give ourselves the time, and the space to be able to do that. If you listened to last week's episode you would know of Beverley Rilatt Richardson, -the feminine guru. I did one of her workshops and realised how much I was always in my masculine!  I was really in my masculine starting up my business. I felt like if I wasn’t working I wasn’t going to be successful. Now as a rule  I love, a bit of action. I had recently had my astrological chart done as part of the process of understanding where my strengths lie and how I can serve others as well as knowing who I need to surround myself to both find success and balance in my life. 

My chart is all fire, it is all action, and I found myself really stuck in that space. I wasn't growing, personally, emotionally, I wasn't giving myself, the time and space to be present, and I wasn't giving myself that time and space for that self love. I wasn’t allowing myself that as it felt unproductive . But when I made the decision to go inward and grow from that place that has made all the difference in my business moving forward as I felt like I was stagnating or plateauing or whatever you want to call it. To keep growing my business I had to start going inward.. And I'm seeing synchronicities of my energy going out there into the world and magnetically attracting the people that I need to surround myself with and this podcast has been a part of it. You know I've been spending my days having all of these conversations with beautiful women, and they'll say something to me like, do you know this person, and I might be aware of them, they might be on my radar. I may have seen them on socials.  But by the time I've gotten off the call, or at least within the next 24 hours. Suddenly, I’ve got a friend request on Facebook or they've commented on one of my posts. Suddenly they’ve been pulled into my world! 

 you know, so the synchronicities of just putting yourself out there and coming from a really fulfilled Place yourself. That is what's going to really move the needle forward for you. So, as much as I love the strategy as much as I love the action steps and, you know, I am a very creative person, so I do need that time and space to be creative, whether that's writing, whether that's planning for a photoshoot. Whether that's working out, you know what I want my life to look like I need that time and space to do that.

 if you become too rigid. Then, you know, you lose that flexibility to be able to grow in your business. 

Another part of embracing the duality is embracing the negatives. The so-called failures. And being grateful for the lessons. We need that contrast so that we can celebrate our wins! 

We are able to enjoy the good times, because of the things that didn't really work. 

We need it all the good and the bad, the easy and the uncomfortable and we need to find our own personal balance to make it work for us. Because like I said before when you are fulfilled and you fill your cup first and serve from the overflow that energy comes through in your work, it overflows into your life outside of work and it has a ripple effect on everyone around you. 

We are not just in this space to make money. We are here to find the people we’re here to serve and pour our heart into it! We are here to serve a purpose and by following your passion you will find that purpose, and it may not be what you think it is. What you’ll notice in the upcoming podcasts it that all of these women started off in a completely different place to where they are now. They followed their hearts and they found their why - and that’s why we do what we do. 

My program Unapologetic is all about helping you discover who you are, how you’re meant to serve and how to find your balance. It’s recognising the things that are holding you back and allowing you to move through them with ease and flow.  

So until next week keep on shining beautiful souls!
