31 for 31 :: The Way Dreams Come True for You and Me

Sweet and wild friends and loves,

I'm going to do a few incredible things in the next few months that I'm totally psyched about!!--Some of which you can participate in if the spirit moves ya! But first...

The back story

Two months ago, my dear love Brian and I decided (with tons of honor and respect) that it was time to go our own ways after 7 and a half years of true togetherness. Since then, I've been reevaluating my life, my dreams and my work. 

I've decided to make a rite of passage into delicious independence and radical responsibility for this one life I get to live by...

Becoming a full-time coach & 
Moving to Hawai'i!

With heaps of intuitive hits and universal green lights (like the waves themselves are pulling me there!), I've decided to move to Hawaii mid-September! (Island and length-of-stay TBD...leaning towards Maui for 2 to 200 months, depending). 

Simultaneously, I've had the deep desire to dive head first into my coaching practice. After 8 months of coaching part-time and baristaing part-time, it's finally time to go all-in with coaching. So-I've quit my part-time job, moved home to my parents house where I'm able to be super retreat-like focused, and put together this beautiful opportunity for myself and 31 lovely people out there.

It's called 31 for 31, and you can read all about it right here. 

In short: 31 days, 31 people, 31 sessions, $31 a session--beginning August 1st.

To be transparent, yes--it's about building up my coaching clientele. It's also about introducing coaching to a wider sphere of people--offering up an opportunity for people to work with me at a reduced rate, who otherwise might never try coaching. I love what I do and people say I'm excellent at it. Landing a slew of new clients in time for my Hawai'i departure would mean a thriving and sustainable life while I'm over there. And some serious soul-shifting, life-enriching experiences for my clients. Hell yes! At the same time, I do no hard sells. I only work with people who are frickin' PUMPED to work together. 

So, with wild love in my heart, that fluttery excited feeling of doing something truly resonant & truly bold, and, well, hope that you'll play along... Here goes nothing.

I love you. I thank you. Yowza! Let's do this thing!
Rachael

the way things change

i've never been good at adjusting to big changes. but i've always been good at creating them. at giving the finger to my current situation that's driving me insane, and opening my arms to possibility. somehow my heart knows that terror is an illusion, and necessity for change is an all-trumping truth. because whenever i begin to feel like Everything Must Change, it's almost always born out of a willingness to own my authenticity. to claim my needs. to be honest about what I've been not-so-honest about.

but damn, does this terror feel real!

it's terrifying, but beautiful. and even on days when i can't wrap my head around the beauty, it's unavoidable. so i'm trying my best to say yes to this quick flip of a switch when my life changes from dark to light. even when i feel like the rope in a tug-of-war between stability and possibility. even when i'm doubtful that my eyes can adjust after spending so long in the dark. i'm throwing in all my chips, hoping that my heart truly holds all the knowing it needs, that possibility really has the courage to win.

what about you? i truly want to know: where does your heart go when it knows it's time for change? how does your soul piece transition together?
