It is a phoenix moment.
My hand goes to my chest, and I feel myself tear up…
She is beautiful, talented and well liked. She is professional and moving up in the business world. She has thousands of followers, high achieving clients, lots of support, and makes lots of money. Her company is going from strength to strength. She is successful and rich in anyone’s language.
And she is a beloved client.
The meeting room is buzzing as everyone waits for her address. She is taking herself and her company to the next level tonight and everyone is anticipating brilliance…but despite all this excitement and possibility…something is happening back stage…
I get a tap on the shoulder and a note is passed.
“I need your help.”
I am escorted into a luxurious suite.
And there she is…dressed immaculately, make-up just so, wearing those incredible shoes she loves…but she looks worried and small…
“What can I do for you, dearheart?”
“Oh Philippa,” She sobs, “I don’t think I can do this. I just can’t. Something is not right. I don’t know what to do.”
We have worked together before. She knows my skills…the calm, the healing presence, the guidance, the perception, the lionhearted ally who can go deep, shift energy, read the issues and help bring her confidence, courage and magnificence back to the surface quickly and return her to her sovereign self…
We talk. I tune in. I ask her a few questions. I work on a deep level. We realign, power-up and shift what needs to change. We work on every level from soul level to world level and I take her through an exercise to reconnect with her brilliance…
And together we break through this self-sabotaging upper limiting moment.
Her breathing slows, her posture shifts, the smallness disappears and out of the anxiety steps a courageous, beautiful, compassionate human who is capable of showing up, stepping onto that stage and speaking with confidence.
A metamorphosis in only twenty minutes.
That evening she takes to the stage cloaked in her sovereignty, real and present. She inspires her audience and speaks with clarity and purpose. There is no doubt the elevation she wants in her business is happening right before our eyes…
This is what living gloriously looks like.
I smile.
More…
As I watch her, my hand goes to my chest. I am filled with love. I am so happy for her and yet…as I look around the auditorium…
I also feel this ache in my heart for all the accomplished humans who, despite their success, feel alone and struggle to find their way.
You see, I know that no matter how talented, rich, successful or accomplished you are, you will inevitably upper limit yourself unless you do the soul-work and the energy work necessary to embody, sustain and fuel each level of success.
How do I know? I was once there myself, and my clients have been there; pushing, shoving, crying, feeling uncertain, limited and exhausting themselves, but now they are free…
This is the powerful, miraculous and very real work we can do together.
