Speaker:And how can you contribute?
Speaker:To new communities, new systems.
Speaker:It's 2022 and faults.

Speaker:What have values are for her clients?
Speaker:How she serves her clients.
Speaker:And I spent the weekend reviewing my podcast, reviewing my business.
Speaker:From last year.
Speaker:And more importantly, reviewing where I was willing to stand.
Speaker:And take a stand for truth.
Speaker:And where I held back.
Speaker:I truly believe that my purpose going forward is to help.
Speaker:Humanity in some way as we go through this massive.
Speaker:Global.
Speaker:Transformation.
Speaker:There are people who are really, really struggling with everything
Speaker:that's happening around them.
Speaker:And I believe that there is a contribution.
Speaker:I can make either through this podcast.
Speaker:Or through some of the services.
Speaker:I'll be launching.
Speaker:In the coming months.
Speaker:I'm aiming to work in collaboration to create a community of support.
Speaker:And also to create a community that supports.
Speaker:It really got me thinking about.
Speaker:Who.
Speaker:Aye.
Speaker:Show a path in order to achieve everything I want to achieve.
Speaker:This year is likely to be.
Speaker:Even more unpredictable than the last two.
Speaker:In my opinion.
Speaker:What can you put into place to support yourself?
Speaker:When you set your goals, when you set your plans for your
Speaker:business and you hold that vision.
Speaker:Yes, we can be moving toward it.
Speaker:But on that journey that.
Speaker:Likely to be some unexpected.
Speaker:Karen says unexpected challenges, probably ones that are bigger than before.
Speaker:And depending on your beliefs and your view of what's happening in the world.
Speaker:Those challenges might be greater than you've ever expected.
Speaker:What are you committing to this year in terms of your goals?
Speaker:What are you.
Speaker:Taking a stand for.
Speaker:I'm wanting to help those who awakening up to the truth around them.
Speaker:And realizing that nothing has been, as it seems.
Speaker:The everything they've potentially believed.
Speaker:Could be crumbling around them.
Speaker:I think those people who wake up and who choose to question.
Speaker:Choose to get curious, choose to look deeper beyond what they're being
Speaker:told by governments and social media.
Speaker:Or the ones who are here to help us to create something new going forward.
Speaker:And that's my focus.
Speaker:I don't want to focus on.
Speaker:What's happening.
Speaker:There are plenty of the people who can give you the information about that.
Speaker:That's not, I believe that's not my role.
Speaker:I believe my role is to help you as you wake up.
Speaker:Too.
Speaker:Decide what you want to do going forward.
Speaker:Did he side what you want to stand for?
Speaker:Does this side, how you position yourself how you.
Speaker:Prepare yourself.
Speaker:For the coming.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:How you cover the fundamentals for yourself and your family?
Speaker:Before you decide to help anyone else.
Speaker:How you put on that.
Speaker:Oxygen mask.
Speaker:The analogy of the plane.
Speaker:Before you help anyone else?
Speaker:And what does that oxygen mask look like?
Speaker:And what does it involve?
Speaker:And what are the steps you can take?
Speaker:I primarily at this point would like to support those who know they
Speaker:already have a contribution to make.
Speaker:They want to make a practical contribution now, and they're unsure of how to start.
Speaker:And how to move forward.
Speaker:I want
Speaker:To offer.
Speaker:Mindset's support spiritual support.
Speaker:Practical support.
Speaker:To help them begin.
Speaker:Those who know they are on purpose and being called to step up.
Speaker:And rise beyond existing paradigms.
Speaker:To help create new possibilities and opportunities for humanity and the planet.
Speaker:Those who stand for truths.
Speaker:Alight.
Speaker:Oh, the ones I feel I'm here to surf.
Speaker:Here are four things that I looked at to get clear on when I was looking
Speaker:at how I want to position myself and the commitments that I want to make.
Speaker:For 2022.
Speaker:I looked at what are the three?
Speaker:Words, phrases.
Speaker:That will make the biggest difference for me this year.
Speaker:What are those phrases that will make the biggest difference for you this year?
Speaker:The ones that will remain you to stay on track.
Speaker:The ones that will trigger.
Speaker:Uh, Positive.
Speaker:High performance response.
Speaker:That'll snap you out of.
Speaker:Resistance.
Speaker:And get you into motion.
Speaker:For me follow through.
Speaker:Is a massive one.
Speaker:Also his spirit and alchemy.
Speaker:I couldn't decide.
Speaker:I think spirit is probably the main word.
Speaker:Spirit.
Speaker:In terms of spirituality and spirits in terms of courage and the spirit needed.
Speaker:To keep going in this ever-changing situation.
Speaker:Follow through.
Speaker:That's because.
Speaker:I've realized that it's something.
Speaker:That I can quite easily.
Speaker:Not do.
Speaker:I can quite easily get to certain points and not follow through.
Speaker:Past the goal.
Speaker:And beyond I mentioned this in the, goal testing.
Speaker:Series last week.
Speaker:Follow through for me is really important.
Speaker:And service on purpose.
Speaker:Serving others.
Speaker:As long as it's aligned with my truth and is on purpose, my purpose.
Speaker:What are your phrases?
Speaker:What are the ones that will.
Speaker:Inspire you to keep going.
Speaker:Remind you.
Speaker:Of your, why?
Speaker:And help you.
Speaker:Show up in 2022.
Speaker:Toward your destiny and purpose.
Speaker:What are the two things that you can implement now?
Speaker:To begin living.
Speaker:Those phrases.
Speaker:For me.
Speaker:Repositioning the podcast.
Speaker:My business, my mentoring program, and getting very specific about who I serve.
Speaker:Is one of the first steps I've taken.
Speaker:I'm serving on purpose.
Speaker:I'm serving.
Speaker:Awakening people.
Speaker:I'm serving.
Speaker:Awakened people who want to serve.
Speaker:My second one is about choosing commitments carefully.
Speaker:And setting.
Speaker:Clear intentions and boundaries around those commitments.
Speaker:Not constantly saying yes.
Speaker:And sacrificing.
Speaker:Things that are actually more important.
Speaker:Because I want.
Speaker:To serve.
Speaker:Without really weighing up the consequence.
Speaker:Of that what I mean by that is if I give my time to something.
Speaker:The question.
Speaker:I asked myself now.
Speaker:It's what am I giving up?
Speaker:Time-wise.
Speaker:To allow me to do this for this person.
Speaker:What am I having to say no to.
Speaker:And worked is the most important, the most valuable.
Speaker:The high quality.
Speaker:The higher purpose, how you truce.
Speaker:Action.
Speaker:I can take right now.
Speaker:what are the two things that you can implement now?
Speaker:I can get you started.
Speaker:On your journey.
Speaker:To living this.
Speaker:What are the two development goals or achievements?
Speaker:That you want for yourself this year.
Speaker:For instance,
Speaker:My service on purpose.
Speaker:For me includes helping others.
Speaker:Through coaching.
Speaker:I have three qualifications in coaching.
Speaker:I'm a trainer of neuro-linguistic programming.
Speaker:Over the last three, four years.
Speaker:I've been fairly isolated and out of practice of coaching because.
Speaker:Of the GTS.
Speaker:I have called.
Speaker:I've cared for people.
Speaker:I have.
Speaker:Taken time.
Speaker:To recover myself.
Speaker:From trauma and from loss.
Speaker:I would like to master.
Speaker:Coaching again.
Speaker:Exponential coaching.
Speaker:Coaching not just using neuro-linguistic programming.
Speaker:using other advanced skills and techniques.
Speaker:And I want to master content.
Speaker:I want to deliver amazing content that is so valuable.
Speaker:Not necessarily having a massive audience.
Speaker:But that delivers value to the people that do listen.
Speaker:That makes a contribution.
Speaker:That helps others to transform their lives.
Speaker:Through what I believe is one of the toughest times in human history.
Speaker:They are completely in alignment with the contribution I want to make.
Speaker:With the.
Speaker:Phrases.
Speaker:I've chosen.
Speaker:And with how I've chosen to begin living those now.
Speaker:I'm redesigning how I deliver the podcasts.
Speaker:I'm looking to interview more people I've already put together a list
Speaker:of people I would like to interview and I will publish those details
Speaker:and advance of each interview.
Speaker:I'm also committing to a newsletter.
Speaker:Which will include not just the podcast.
Speaker:But a blog.
Speaker:And a summary update of what's happening in the world from a position.
Speaker:Of possibilities opportunities.
Speaker:Positive actions.

Speaker:We'll have the main podcast on a Monday as we continue.
Speaker:And the.
Speaker:Have a five.
Speaker:The rest of the week.
Speaker:It's all a new focus for me.
Speaker:I'm aiming to do.
Speaker:Two interviews a month.
Speaker:And the other podcasts.
Speaker:To be content that I know will serve, that I know will add value that
Speaker:will give you the opportunity to try something different, to support yourself.
Speaker:And remembering that everything is a choice.
Speaker:Remembering that how we respond in every moment.
Speaker:Is a choice.
Speaker:And as we go through 2022.
Speaker:And the world reshapes.
Speaker:And systems or shape.
Speaker:And each of us are impacted.
Speaker:Individually.
Speaker:And unique.
Speaker:And personal ways.
Speaker:I want to offer a podcast.
Speaker:That supports you through this.
Speaker:And the best way I possibly can.
